What the crap is up with that!!!!!?
Careful; that was one of my “weird, but then it happened just like the dream a couple weeks later” dreams. I was driving an unfamiliar red Honda with a manual transmission, and got stopped along the main street of a nearby town for an equipment violation. Two weeks later a friend asked me to come help her with the car she’d just bought; a red 5-speed Accord. Got it running, took it out to make sure it was solid, and realized it was the car from the dream about two seconds before the disco lights came on in the exact spot it happened in the dream.

I generally prefer religious leaders who lack expertise in greed and envy.

How does that work? Phone call to the Sicilians? Swiss Guards taking a day off?

The making of office furniture. I kid you not. I was building the things in my mind from the chrome casters, to the plywood work surfaces… and no, I’m not making that up. That’s how boring they were.
I once had a dream about – literally – watching grass grow. Actual speed. A good six inches of growth. I could have sworn I’d slept for weeks.

Nope. The alligator bit was my least favorite part of the anaesthesia.

Erm, not really. If you are dreaming about crocodiles (and something tells me you’re probably not), then you should not be so literalist in your interpretation.
Could have been alligators. I wasn’t really paying that much attention to snout shape.

Never been an issue in the past, but of course now if the situation ever arises, I’m sure I’ll remember this post.nibbler wrote:NightSG wrote:I don’t want to know what the flying crocodiles were about, then.
My dream dictionary says it’s the
flyingidolatrous god of Pharaoh. :angel: Aw crap. Then I guess we’re going to go from Emperor Obama to someone who will leave us with no choice but to wander around the desert.

Dreams tell you things you don’t want to know as well as 1990s actresses and models.That crocodiles will be learning to fly within my lifespan? That should make wingshooting season a lot more fun.

As soon as that dream about Denise Richards, Claudia Schiffer and a kiddie pool full of honey comes true, I’ll get to work on the rest. I have had an interesting series of dreams about some pretty specific events, and they happened undeniably accurately, but each also had at least one glaring-yet-irrelevant inconsistency, (weather as seen through a window, person present during the event with no role in it, color of the clothing worn, etc.) and more importantly, they were all situations I couldn’t use to have any impact on the outcome, so the advance notice wasn’t useful.

She told us how low he was feeling and that she was just letting him be this weekend. It saddened my heart – and your story does, too NSG.
Ew. I didn’t realize that any states didn’t include Father’s Day in the standard visitation boilerplate. Here, it’s half day on the kid’s birthday, full day on FD and the father’s birthday. (Or Mother’s Day if the father has primary custody.) Not that my ex has honored any of those yet, though; the only I’ve gotten to see either of them on their actual birthdays was when she needed them out of the house for a couple hours and my mom was the only person available to take them from 3:30-6PM on a weekday. Once I found out, I bailed out of work early and got to mom’s by 4:45.
A female friend has the odd situation of a birthday that falls on Father’s Day once every few years. The judge eventually said on those years, they are to go by the regular weekend schedule.
Would be nice if my ex would let me see the kids on Father’s Day. I mean, it’s only specified that she will in the decree, not like it’s anything important, you know. I avoid church, and people in general on FD because I don’t need a bunch of people reminding me that I’m supposed to get them that day.

We need a fresh perspective and approach. I move to draft Mike Myers.

Sounds somewhere between delusional and outright dangerous, like a recovering addict convincing themselves they’ve truly eliminated the desire for the focus of their addiction. Good way to find yourself in a hard relapse without the psychological preparation to deal with it.
Quote:Anyone out there ever read Todd Comptons book “In Sacred Loneliness”? Is it part of the Gospel of JC for us to take solace in loneliness, learning to deny this part of our humanity?
Doubtful; the desire for companionship certainly appears to be something that we gain from being created in His image, so denying it would be counterproductive to the goal of becoming like Him.
