Sensual reiki?

Really?

*SERIOUSLY*??

...to apologize to anyone who's head I have bitten off in the last couple of months. I am, apparently, losing my mind. It goes something like this:

doo dee doo *game* *flirt* *have amusing fun*

Oh.

Duh.

Oops?

Made worse by the fact that my PCOS makes my periods somewhat variable and hard to predict.

If this is the start of menopause? Can I just sort of be unconscious for the next 10-15 years?

Saudi family sues genie, alleges harassment

Was the genie wearing pink and purple and did it have long blond hair?

It's been a while since we've run a showing, and since this is disrupting my sleep/life a tad since I had it, prolly best to put it down and hopefully get rid of it.

I will occasionally dream about this odd farmland area or about a river or water. This is a recurring theme in some periods of my life, though I don't really think that they mean the same thing every time the crop up.

This time I was out walking with one of my exes. I think it was supposed to be before we were actually no longer together. We were walking over fields and down country roads. Lots of waving grain and an occasional pasture of some type. It was very, very rolling ground, not quite cliff-like hills, but some serious ups and downs. My dog was with us, running around off the leash which I never let him do. He was much better behaved that he would be.

Eventually, we were walking by this fence. And it pushed out into the pasture in a very deep V at one point. The dog came bounding by through the grain and I called him back saying it was time to go. He disappeared.

We were then walking back along the road in front of a bunch of Mexicans. And I say specifically Mexicans because that's what it was in my dream. I recall thinking that they were Mexicans. Or telling someone that they were Mexican. (It's dream logic...just go with it.)

So, we got back to my ex's car. And it was very specifically the car he drove day in and day out. He was sort of shadowy and blobby, but the car wasn't. White Mercury police cruiser with the same blue interior.

We were driving along the road and then just sort of changed seamlessly to driving on a river. It's a river I've seen in dreams before. Very wide and dark, very deep. Sometimes I'm in a boat or swimming or there's a paddleboat/steamer moving along it.

This time, we were driving along like there was a road just under the surface. I pointed out to him that we were driving on water and did he really think that was a good idea. He didn't respond or seem to notice, sort of staring off into the distance.

We must have been going 80 or 90 when there was this huge gout of water that splashed out in front of the car as we hit the water and started sinking. The dream slowed down so that you could see the dark, inky water slowly closing over the car and the pressure building and building. We finally stopped at the bottom and he asked how deep we were. I replied about 150 feet.

I woke up at 6:14 in the morning yesterday, far too early for my liking. Tried to nap several times but that last part kept repeating itself and I had to get back up. It was there when I went to bed last night, and was disturbing me enough I had to call someone to talk me to sleep. Now, this morning, it's flashing in and out of my head.

I'm tired, I'm cranky, and I would very much like for it to go away now, please.

User: okay, now I'm trying to transfer a payment from plus bank to the insured's account and it won't let me. very strange.

Me: What error are you getting?

User: its saying regular payment, return premium/payoff, is this something new?

Me: Yes. We added the ability to do rp/pos in plus bank. Just select regular and go on like you always would.

User: Well, that's stupid. You should just be able to hit the button like you used to

Me: You need a way to select what type of payment it is now, since you can do more than one type.

User: No you can't! you can only do regular payments. That's *ALL* you've ever been able to do.

So...the only thing keeping men from being gay is...being married? And if we allow gay marriage, everything blows itself to kingdom come...and women are abandoned because all the straight guys will suddenly see a penis and go crazy and become gay?

Ok.



Thanks to supergee for the link. I think.

Normally, I'm pretty fussy about my slash. There's only a few pairings that really do anything at all for me.

However.

I just saw ( this little gem ) and suddenly I see what other people have been nattering on and on about with these two.

Now. If only they were in leathermen's gear...

Oh, c'mon. The pose is *perfect*. :)

1. Don't yell at your healers to heal you. We see your life bar. That's our job.

2. Don't yell for heals for your pet. All pet classes have a way to heal your own pet. Use it. Healer priority is: MT/OT, Healers, CC people, dps, pets. We'll heal if we have spare cycles. They'll get AoE splash healing.

3. When the MT dies? Don't howl about how you, the dps, didn't get a heal when you got one shot. We're focusing on the poor plate wearing dps schmuck who's left trying to pick up a two shotting boss with tissue paper dps gear to get everything *BACK UNDER CONTROL*.

4. When the MT dies, it is not time to trinket/AP/PoM/Pyro. Honest. Unless the boss is already teetering on the edge of death and oblivion, all you're going to do is make him look over and swat you as your threat goes through the roof and past the poor plate wearing dps schmuck *trying* to keep you alive.

5. If your pet is dying in the fire...MOVE IT! Right along with *your* ass who's standing right next to it.

6. "But I have a cast time on all my attacks" is not a good enough reason to stand in the fire, void zone, electrical charge, meteor strikes, volcanos, or double headed dogs running over to chew on your butt. Move.

7. Healers? "Oops, I forgot to heal myself" is not something to say in raid chat, ventrillo, teamspeak, or...well...anywhere.

8. If you die with your specials not on cooldown, you fail. They're your friends. Use them with impunity.

Strip Club Sues Seventh Grader

*takes a toke of....something*

Club owner: How are we going to get out of this, Bob? This is a disaster. We let a 14 year old show her boobies in our *CLUB*!!!

Attorney: *takes another deep puff and contemplates the swirli...er...the problme* Wait. I've got it...

*teeheeinhale* Get this.

*WE* will sue *HER* for showing her boobies. She flimflammed us! The whole bunch of them did.

Owner: How do you figure that?

Attorney: *puffpuffpuff* She wasn't really kidnapped, see. We'll act all outraged and shit. It was all a plot betwen the bunch of them. The parents *LET* her be unsupervised...and she wasn't reeeeeally kidnapped. She just ran off with a 48 year old. And *HE* got her the fake id, but it was really *her* idea.

She wasn't *REALLY* raped, abused, and kidnapped, see....



Ok. I can't go on with that. It's just....too damned what the fucking fuck???!?

...to find the following IM window popping up on my Trillian. Sometime between Friday and this morning I received:

Now.

This IM account was one that I used on personals sites when someone wanted to talk and get to know each other. And, yes, this is someone fairly local that wanted to date probably...oh, four or so years ago.

Seems to me that this is a really bad way to go about picking back up.

"Heal me!"

NOOOO really, hadn't thought of doing my job in this raid, I thought heal meant run in circles naked yelling woooooo.

I just received the following random IM on one of my accounts:

ZOMG! THE SKY IS FALLING!

Demands of the protesters:

DEMANDS MADE BY PROTESTERS

As mentioned above, these protest have moved beyond being about what may be a rigged election, it's about respect, it's about basic human rights and freedom, it's pent up frustration and the breaking point was this election.

7 point statement distributed among the protesters in Tehran yesterday
1. Dismissal of Khamenei for not being a fair leader
2. Dismissal of Ahmadinejad for his illegal acts
3. Temporary appointment of Ayatollah Montazeri as the Supreme Leader
4. Recognition of Mousavi as the President
5. Forming the Cabinet by Mousavi to prepare for revising the Constitution
6. unconditional and immediate release of all political prisoners
7. Dissolution of all organs of repression, public or secret

Have you ever looked around at the group of people you are in and thought, "If the Zombie Apocalypse happens right now, this is what I have to work with."

Comment from the general forums about upcoming mount changes (Flying at 60, specifically):

Person 1:

But it does make you feel like an old man.

"You young whippersnappers have it so easy nowadays! In my day, we got smeared across the landscape by Fel Reavers and we loved every minute of it!"

Person 2:

This is the only thing that makes me sad. New players will not get to experience the joy of having a Fel Reaver sneak up on them as they are running along Hellfire.

DK Tanking Rotations
Sklock, Warchief, Lords of the Apocalypse

I was mainly just giving Bone a hard time last night, but at one point did have a serious point about AOE threat gen. I thought I would follow up with some info about threat values and rune management.

I may have just misunderstood him last night, but I think the following may help many of our newer DK tanks. All of this assumes a few things. First, the damage values are based on stryk's most recent WMO. Though the actual damage will vary based on gear, the relative values are somewhat constant. Second, assumes minimal haste (i.e. roughly 1.5 sec GCD). Third assumes Frost spec to HB and DnD on 15 sec CD. The latter is a must IMO for any dk tank, but the former would not necessarily apply to a deep unholy spec. However, though the actual timeline might change, and the use of pest/bb would be in place of HB, the importance of DnD uptime does not change.

I was totally taken aback yesterday by the levels of pagan stupidity running rampant amongst those I call friends. I mean, I suppose that we all have our weak moments and do or say stupid shit. That's part of being human.

Let me back up for a moment.

I (and my company) pay for a membership for me at the YMCA. With that membership, I get the use of their exercise facility (huge), weight training area (also huge), any programs at a reduced fee (fairly extensive), two competition sized swimming pools (one outdoor, one indoor), a whirlpool (which is the critical piece for me), and a sauna...among other things. For about $24 a month on my end. *COULD* I go to Gold's Gym or 24 Hour Fitness or one of half a dozen other places that my company will also pay for? Sure. But then you get a completely different atmosphere and one that I feel totally self-conscious in because of my weight. That makes me less likely to *use* the facilities I'm paying for. The Y doesn't give me that reaction.

So, I was talking to a couple of friends (one pagan, one a Christian of the moderate/UU type) at the end of the work day. I excused myself with a comment along the lines of "time for me to go hot tub YAY!" They wanted to know where I went, and I told them. They both looked totally horrified.

I brushed it off and went on my merry way, soaked the aches of various conditions away for 20 minutes, then went home, fixed dinner, and opened my email.

Which I shouldn't have done, apparently, because it made me see red.

What was amusing was that they both said essentially the same thing, from opposite ends of the spectrum...

How *DARE* I, as a pagan woman, give my money and support a CHRISTIAN organization!!?!?!?eleventyone!!

Obviously, the outrage was a bit more strident on the pagan side of things. I suspect that my Christian friend was more baffled by it than anything.

You know...when I was growing up, I was a member of the Y. I spent the bulk of my free time during the winter swimming there for the swim team and the meets that were associated with it. I was also a Brownie/Girl Scout, and I participated in the local 4-H program for quite a number of years, too. My best friend was in all those as well as FFA/FHA, even going to the National program for that.

And you know, I found them just wonderful programs that gave kids a sense of self-confidence and grew them up as *people* before anything else. 4-H/FFA/FHA obviously grew out of a more rural culture where "Christian" has a very different meaning that what we often see today with the loudmouthed Holy Rollers screaming on TV. Yes, there are still many, many less vocal Christians that work hand in hand with people, regardless of what religion they follow. This is good. They were the foundation of a lot of organizations that are still ongoing today.

Keeping in mind the fact that I do *not* have children of my own...

I still would not participate in any pagan equivalent to these organizations.

Why?

Because they are formed out of a negative reaction to what currently exists. The first thought is "OMG! That's a CHRISTIAN org. I can't send my precious special little snowflake THERE!!! They might hear the word Jesus or heaven forbid they be told that the Gawdess is a fantasy!" The second thought is..."We must make our OWN version of these groups so that *OUR* values can be taught."

Which isn't *necessarily* bad. Except they then create their group based off of what they *think* X Foundation is about and does, rather than the reality of it. And then they try to work in their own religious beliefs while spouting about being non-denominational.

Growing up in these groups that I did, I never *once* heard anything about Christian religion. I learned about the world through units and badges, I learned how things were put together and about how thing are interconnected. I learned skills that I still use to this day. I learned, eventually, a small profession that kept me in spending money through college. But never *once* did I get a sermon about Jeeezus.

And you know what?

None of those pagan orgs can guarantee me that any children I send to them won't try to indoctrinate kids into the neo-wicca flufftard stupidity that was taken from fantasy and science fiction that passes for paganism today. None of them can guarantee me that Lady Pixie Moondrip Sparklepants McFluffernutter over there in the fairy wings and tiara won't insist that what I'm teaching my own children is wrong and that she has the one true way for all little special pagan children to believe.

And *THAT* is a difference that is as large a chasm as the Grand Canyon as far as I'm concerned.

So.

Yes. I will continue to support the YM/WCA in its endeavors, along with supporting the Girl Scouts and various other "normal" groups and excluding pagan ones. The groups that I support tend to prize diversity within its membership and don't exclude or preach to children.

Stick that in your plastic shaman peace pipe and smoke it, honey.

( Cause everyone knows that the Christmas Spirit is *ALL* about the We know better than the Ebil Christians vibe... )

Forget dualing as a boomkin. I'm *so* back to feral.

The setting:

Kansas City Rockfest 2009.

The Line-up of bands:

Korn
Drowning Pool
Buckchery
Shinedown
Dope
Theory of a Deadman
Saving Able
Rev Theory
Crooked X
Burn Halo
The Parlor Mob
The Veer Union
and 3 other bands of a more local nature

Imagine, if you will. 55,000 screaming music fans all hopped up on beer and, more than likely, recreational pharmaceuticals of whatever nature. Mosh pits up at the front near the two stages for most of the bands. Women flashing breasts and various body parts in the 90 degree heat.

And yes, the ever present three women going at it somewhere in the middle, by all reports.

I missed the apparent crowning glory of the day, however. Somewhere in that vast sea of celebratory people there was one daring young lady. One rebel who refused to behave as society would have her behave. This dazzling, glorious woman stripped off her shirt during one of the sets and hopped up to crowd surf towards the main stage. Somewhere, along her route, the energy and the ecstasy coursing through the crowd finally cracked her fainting, delicate sensibilities and she reached up to those glorious, free breasts and gave them a good squeeze...



...sending breast milk squirting out all over the crowd. All the way to the stage, she gave ?voice? to her full womanly glory, showering the crowd nearby with the very epitome of both her womanhood and her motherhood, striking a blow for the freedom of women to act just like the big boys do! (And, she apparently shot one of the stage security/surfing guards right in the eye.)

But.

That wasn't enough!

No...oh no!

The saucy young minx managed to escape back into the crowd, defying the Ebil Oberlords to lurk and wait for her next chance to strike.

At the autograph booth.

When Theory of a Deadman was there signing autographs.

This brave, explosive young thing did what any healthy young woman would do when presented with such handsome, exciting, energetic and charistmatic men.

She did a drive by milking. To every band member.

They were in such awe that they had no idea what to do or say. And three days later, probably still don't.

...I bring you...Cat macros!

I think I'm totally horrified.

The roads were nearly empty this morning. This is a somewhat disturbing thing for a person who's lived in a large metro area for 10 years now. It's...almost like it's been abandoned when you don't see lots of cars on your morning commute.

So, I get into the office and have the following conversation:

Business Analyst: Morning, moonlight!

Me: Morning...*pauses, then stops* Boy am I glad to see you guys in here. The roads were almost empty and I was sitting in my car thinking to myself, "you know it's not Memorial Day. No, you may not go home and go back to bed."

Programmer: Didn't you get the memo about the zombie apocalypse?

Me: Damn! No! I missed it????!?

Programmer: Yes.

Me: *crai!*

After continuing on to my desk, the programmer and DBA are cackling and muttering and pointing at the DBA's computer screen. I glance over and see some type of circuit board.

Me: Stop looking at electronic porn.

Programmer: Electrical porn.

Me: whaaaaatever.

Programmer: Look at my wall by my desk.

Me: *Seeing a row of flowers* Who said you can hang flower porn?

Programmer: Well...you know...the flowers *are* the sexual parts of plants.

Me: Yes, I know. I'm reminded every spring when the trees start to pollenate and I have to tell them to stop having sex, particularly when it's in my nose.

DBA: (without missing a beatt) So...if you sneeze, does that mean you could pollenate the flowers if you hit them?

Me: . . . I suppose . . .

DBA: So, you're having a three way?

Me: . . .

Me: . . .

*gives up and facepalms*

...but this needs to be spread.

We lost a lawsuit in the state of California a couple months back that has necessitated rewriting all of our finance agreements for all 50 states. The testing suite for this was what I embarked on last Wednesday.

There are umpteen bajillion different combinations to test, and every one has to be done. By Friday.

So, I've been testing and testing and test.
