its easy to be a fan russell - that guy is way cool.
will check pic now.
I want to go out for coffee, but hubby sleeps like he is in hibernation...
Of course I know you can, question is how many who will understand they were demolished....
I think we should change the upper limit to make sure nobody posts that long...(me for instance)

Well, to be honest it could take longer time depending on who's online at GB... But dont let that change your mind. Then you could tell me because i would have time to prepare, wich will perhaps lead to me doing a better job.
But... but... thats unfair Now you know ...
So I can only use the flashlight cloudy nights, and it will take you an unknown amount of time to get to my place, depending on who is online here? Suddenly, the usefulness seemed to drop quite a bit...
Perhaps, yes, but what if I needed your assistance quickly and you show up 9 hours later?
See, now are miserable again...it is best to end your pain after all...

No, you can use the flahslights on very cloudy days, and any night. Its a strong flashligt I told you...
You just have to plan ahead, Or if you're in a hurry flash with the flashligt and ill leave sooner and take the buss.
Im very happy actually, its just that when im tired my mouth looks sad.

@ dot &CE
what are you two going on about? i have tried to read it but
Saw the pics by the way look like you had a good time. Funny how people dont look like you expect them to.
@CE I was always a bit disapointed that you didnt post in my why do people belive thread. I would have loved it if you had said something like 'too high levels of L-dopa in the brain'.
This is mainly because i could have asked you if that meant we could look forward to a cure for religion.
ohh well

Dot and I are just continuing on a long term tease that originated with my trying to kill him a long time ago, then recruiting him as a subject for research. Just ignore it
But hadn't you looked in the photo thread before? Both I, Ysh, Sleep and Georgi had posted pics of ourselves previously.
Actually I didn't see your belief thread until yesterday, I don't know how I missed it...and you have no idea how close to truth you are dear Tom...I mean it.

@ Dottie which bit! the whole bit.
@ CE i saw the begining of the thread but then lost track
Close to the truth? with what?
the dopamine thing? I read an article saying that too high levels of dopamine can make people see patters where there are none.
part of the thread was meant to be serious part of it was just a dig.

@Tom: I havnt read through what I've written, but its quite possible this thread alone doesnt make sense... Like CE says, just ignore it.

I asked her the same question a few minutes ago, and now im a much happier person.

But you just said your delay would depend on who is online when I flash the light...
How strange - I have never noticed before. I am not totally convinced you are very happy...well, happiness or not, I am still not sure if you really are useful to me or not...

All pics of me, Ysh, Sleep and Georgi are in the first 3rd somewhere, about page 13-15 I believe if you use 40 posts per page view.
With your imagined situation of what it would have been like if I had posted in your thread. I was just discussing some new neuroreceptor research with Dottie by PM:s. That's why he asked me if there was a cure for religion. And you saw his comment to you on that.
Altered levels of several different transmittors, not only dopamine can make people see things...and hear things...and interpret a stimuli differently. I am sure you have heard about Penfield's classical studies where he stimulated septum on awake patients...and they got religious experiences...well, this is a topic suitable for a PhD dissertation. If you are seriously interested in current hypothesis about the neurobiological underpin for religious experiences, PM me.

Sorry, my poor english is to blame.
My god is that excuse usefull.
What I meant was that if you shine continusly with it ill get there when I get there so to speak, but if you flash with it i'll hurry.
Well, its one of those things that come and goes... btw, what look like tears are only there because i drank too much water, and now it escapes through my eyes.
How can you be not sure? I think its clear that my survival gives you many advantages... Worst case scenario you only get a cool flashlight.

Hmpf. I will leave you now, and try this flashlight out one or two days.
Worst case scenario is that I do get a cool flashlight, but you live to pester me The next few days will be decisive...And soon Georgi will not be here to resurrect you...

fun...
@Dottie-If you get bored of CE teasing you I can join in too, when Georgi gets over here.
Though obviously not as much as I can now, because I'll have to show her around Perth, and have SYM gatherings with her and Tammy...etc etc.

*gasp* Its almost time, and I haven't fully briefed the public on the Georgi Emergency Plan.
Don't think our little city can handle three people from SYM
