Hi Mike, here's the lowdown, the big skinny, the gimme what ya got, in the church of what's happening now. She's blaming you for every little thing because she is feeling something. What that is is up to you to find out. Here are some possible reasons; She could be throwing verbal daggers to try to get you into a confrontation with her. Perhaps she's angry at you because she may feel you don't give her enough attention, or forgot a birthday, or are not fulfilling a particular need (i.e. intimacy, not necessarily sexual.) The two biggest factors in long-term relationships are kindness and intimacy. Couples who've been together awhile filter what the other says often resulting in disconnects on key emotional messages. It could also be salvos in a desire to end the relationship. Another explanation, unfortunately, is she could be attracted to someone else and your presence now annoys her. Whatever it is, you want to find a quiet evening to sit down and address it ... ASAP! It will not go away on its own. I know exactly the feeling and it took a life change to end it. Later my family and friends told me how she would say all these bad things about me (true or false, whether I was present or not.) I heard them but they didn't register with me emotionally--she was my girl. Sometimes the heart thinks for the brain and the result is a depressing quality of love life. Sorry to be so finite, but sometimes you have to confront your SO on the road of life to see if you have the same maps. Good luck! You're always the starter in your own life!

I believe Oswald acted alone. I have a bucket full of assasination books but I only recommend one: "Case Closed" by Gerald Posner. Posner lays out the facts and systematically destroys the theorists assertions on all fronts. Furthermore, over the years I have met numerous people, one, the former #2 guy at the Philadelphia FBI office (retired) agrees too. See, no conspiracy of any magnitude has ever succeeded. A Philly detective friend of mine told me, "You get two people knock off a bar, pop a couple patrons; someone always talks." Even in the mob. One may say, "What about Hoffa?" Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran claims he knocked off Hoffa with two bullets to the back of the head in '75. Sheeran died in a nursing home outside of Philadelphia in 2003. The case is still open and assigned to a Chicago FBI agent. You're always the starter in your own life!

My brother told me about Sam Adams Chocolate Bock. It's like, expensive! So I crack a bottle, hold it up, gunk, gunk, gunk, gunk, (wipes mouth) Shazzamm! That shit be bad. (Performs the motherphuckin' moonwalk.) "Take that bitches." (Directed at no one in general as a form of congratulatory celebration.) Oh, that? That's the bottlecap of the beer on my ring finger. When she uses me all up, yeah, I'll be kicked to the curb. (hiccup) You're always the starter in your own life!

When the automated answering system tells you to hit this key or that for a selection, don't you want to bop them on the head like whack a mole? That's why I (brushes hair, straightens tie & jacket) go to http://gethuman.com/us/ to get an actual person quick. Waiting for a person to pick up is like that time-lapse shot from the old Werewolf movie where Bela Lugosi turns into a Werewolf.

That Ted Kennedy quip & retort was hilarious! Lewis Morrs: "It is a conspiracy of silence against me--a conspiracy of silence! What should I do!?" Oscar Wilde: "Join it." When asked to change one of his plays, Wilde replied, "Who am I? To tamper with a masterpiece?" For a 'Wilde way' out of a party-- "I must decline your invitation for a subsequent engagement."

You're more likely to score with a psychologist. But you can score some from a psychiatrist. Hey, however you get some, go for it! You only live once, so go hell bent for leather with reckless abandon! And when you're satisfied, take a breath and get some more! Yee ha! ... what's this thread about again? Oh, sorry.

Funny how questions aren't answered but the propositions in the argument get challenged. On to your questions; "Do you know the feeling (sexual tension)?" Damn straight sista! Animal magnetism. Pure lust. Yup. You know it! "Is it common?" Nope. Doesn't happen to everyone I'm sexually attracted to? Only the lucky ones (chuckle.) Incredibly rare? For me, rare but incredible. In fact, one time I had sex that was so good, (Chorus-"How good was it?") It was so good I woke up in the middle of the night and called myself a liar! Another time it was so good, ("How good was it?") I was in full orgasmic rapturous oblivion when some guy with a beard and sandals kicked me and asked, "Do you see me now?"

Hi Sandy, Hopefully you'll return to the dead thread shelf to find I've dusted off your post and returned a clean reply. Despite my BA degree in film, I minored in psychology and still spend considerable time reading up on the subject. To answer your questions (as best I can and quick to step aside for a real professional): Is it likely that the 6 week wait had a permanent effect on me? Ans. That depends on your perception of the threat (and the level of fear you give it.) Is it likely that the parachute malfunctions caused the panic attack in the chopper, I was sitting on the end of the seat, legs dangling ouside.? Ans. No, the parachute malfunction is probably not related to the panic attack you had in the chopper. A panic attack is a discrete period of intense fear or discomfort. Your bout with terror was due to the thought you might lose control of your impulse AND actually leap from the chopper. If you're not prone to this perception, you're normal. About 1/3rd of the population has a panic attack over the course of a year. Being in a combat zone facing the possibility of grievous injury or mutilation would certainly amplify that frequency. Was it to my credit that I did jump again - or would everyone have done the same thing? Ans. Damn straight it's to your credit and Hell no (would everyone do the same thing) you crazy bastard!! Courage is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to act in spite of it. I had a hard pull close to the hard deck and I hear ya. I don't think the fun would be happening for me to return and smile in the face of that terror. Would it be possible that the sheer danger I was exposed to on the day had a permanent effect on me - instantly - on the day? Ans. Not likely, although it is possible for that danger to form a trigger for future responses in similar situations. That doesn't mean bad outcome, it just means you might freak out for a second before you recover your bearings. The best way to dissipate the intensity of that memory is to talk about it and ruminate over it (replay it in your mind and to change that replay to a positive outcome.) Does anyone have an opinion on the likely effect of such an experience on any person generally? For those in the range of normalcy fleeting moments of intense fear shouldn't result in any serious impairment in dealing with future situations. Ultimately, it's relative to how you perceive it as some people may elevate the notion they'll fail to work through it (and heighten their fear) while others will rationalize it to a chance occurrence (and reduce their fear.) Are you optimistic or pessimistic? (obviously you're an optimist.) Your introduction to skydiving was not very pleasant. In fact, that's why most people don't take up the hobby--it's fascinating terror. But for those who do and learn to enjoy its rewards, skydiving is an adventure and a passion full of fun and excitement. As an aside I use two terms for what I describe in the sport and life in general: MOE-moment of elation, as when you feel great and excited. Often spontaneous with great bouyancy. BOJ-burst of joy, as when you nail an exit, a landing, a move or any other self accomplishment requiring skill, wisdom or action. Here are the 13 warning signs of a panic attack. One must have at least 4 of these for up to 10 minutes (although it can last for a few seconds too) • racing or pounding heart • sweating • trembling or shaking • shortness of breath • feeling of choking • chest pain or discomfort • nausea or abdominal distress • feeling dizzy, unsteady, or faint • feeling unreal or detached • paresthesias (i.e., numbness or tingling sensations) • chills or hot flushes • fear of dying • fear of going crazy or losing control You're always the starter in your own life!

We were so poor .... "How poor were you?" We were so poor we'd eat mayonnaise sandwiches ... clip our toenails with tooth and gum ... hear a disturbance outside, and bark ourselves ... tell everyone the car was parked around the block ... put our underwear on, yellow in front, brown in back ... turn our pants inside out to get another month out of them ... use the family toothbrush to brush my tooth and clean the outhouse ... sit down for a bowl of steam soup ... paint our feet to look like shoes ... raise our pinkies and kick our heads back when slurping down phlegm based snot soup spiced with foot fungus and toenail clippings because we had style ... tell the kids to get in the family wagon, then push them around in the shopping cart ... tell the kids to stop throwin' empty beer cans out of the family wagon because we needed the recycle money for more beer ...

Lindeman's Frambouise (sp?) rocks! I got a case two Christmas's ago. They're like small champagne bottles, cork and all. Cost just over a hundred drachmas ($.) You don't drink it as much as sip it because it's rich. When it comes to beer in general, I'll knock out a 6 to get there, a 12 pack if I'm feeling righteous, but that stuff isn't about getting drunked up, but savoring the flavor. I might partially attack a second bottle after 20 minutes, but that's it. If I'm going deep, I'll turn to Cointreau, my French friend. I did hear that Sam Adams Cranberry was a tad sweet and I've heard positive reviews so, like everything else, it's kind of a subjective thing. You're always the starter in your own life!

Sometimes people post questions they already know the answer to, but probe for insight of a different light. My take on the "intimate conversation" begins with, "How could the guy in your life do anything that caused you the slightest bit of pain and not reel away from it?" With no knowledge of either of you, I would say his sexual experiences are very limited. A guy (or a girl for that matter,) doesn't do what's in a porn movie unless they don't have much experience in the first place. To say the move (intercourse at sharp angles) is highly regarded by females everywhere, well, it kind of disregards the physiology of stimulation. And, well, it's kind of either boastful or an overbearing statement to make because it implies that he's right and you don't know what feels good. That's not a good thing to say because it's conjecture, and hey, it's like you and him, you know. Everything should be reciprocating (I waited all day to use a multi-syllabic word like that, 5 points! Yea!) However you work things out, the best of luck. A friend of mine once told me, whenever you're knockin' bottom, whatever you do, never shout out someone else's name. Unless that turns them on of course, ha, ha, ha.

Hi Chris, No one fully answered your question, “If you were to re-live an extremely traumatic event, how would you deal with it?” My answer is, “If I had to re-live the trauma again knowing what I know now, I would say to myself, “Hope springs eternal” and take action to create a better outcome. As you know, brain injury is one of the least recognized and least understood injuries. It cripples your ability to concentrate, enjoy cognizance, and function fully. To a brain injured person, life is full of disappointments. While before, everything was easy, now, everything is hard. Most people are clueless to what you’re experiencing. First, who are you? You are not the same. Where are you going? Nowhere, it seems. Who loves you? Only those closest, it seems. Sometimes, nobody. A great deal of your time is spent idle, just trying to form a thought or action, in your mind. Frustration is frequent, and deeply upsetting. Things are not the same and you feel powerless to change them. Here are a few things you might find interesting: 1.) The brain is hardwired for god. What is god? Hope. Researchers at the University of Penn found that deeply religious people experience euphoria and elevated perspectives in the light of god. The human being survives through hope, that is why belief is so strong. The human animal needs hope in order to survive and fight on. Our existence depends on it. 2.) Your brain must rebuild its’ neurological pathways. That requires work. It’s the equivalent of millions of mental calisthenics. Your road is yours alone. Progress is painfully slow or nonexistent. But get this straight—effort is progress. 3.) Your progress depends on your hope. More miracles have occurred bathed in the light of hope, then in any other mental state or disposition of note. You must not stop working. It will sometimes be endless, pointless, unreasonably disappointing and upsetting. But you must continue on. As you know, the right side of the brain is artistic, visual and abstract. The left side of the brain is logical, connecting the word from the left side to the visual from the right. Visualization drills enjoin the two spheres like no other. If I could leave you on an up note that even your doctors might agree, it’s this, you MUST believe in yourself and the HOPE for your future. Did you know that the moment you form a thought, it’s because your brain created a neuro-chemical peptide chain that IS the thought? Yes, the brain has the power to create. If you visualize a place you want to be, in the state you want to be, it can, it can be. If you give it your all, if you give it, your hope. In the great distance there stands a person recovered. When they turn around you realize it's you. You're always the starter in your own life!

You might want to look at 200 weight polar fleece or 300 wt. but 300 is a bit bulky. Also, the #1 thermal garment is down. Consider a 650 fill power goose down jacket or vest from LLBean, Lands End or Cabelas or others (Outdoor Research, Mammut, REI, The North Face, etc. Cabelas has an underwear top & bottom in down cheap! If you go from a warm environment to a cold (like walk outside) down will blow you away how warm it stays. If you're out in the cold, it will take awhile for your body heat to warm down up, so it seems less impressive, but down's insulating properties are still superior to most synthetics. Do some jumping jacks & pushups in the cold and it will warm up quick. You're always the starter in your own life!

Got an interesting email today I'd thought I'd share. I can't wait for this to appear in the Periodic Table of Elements: Scientists have recently discovered the heaviest element known in the universe. It was discovered in the grime and gunk left over in New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina. The new element has been named "Governmentium". Governmentium has one neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 224 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of inconsequential particles called peons. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected because it impedes every reaction with which it comes in contact. A minute amount of Governmentium causes one reaction to take over four days to complete, when it would normally take less than a second. Governmentium has a normal half-life of four years; it does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time since each reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leaves some scientists to believe that Governmentium forms whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as "Critical Morass." When catalyzed with money, Governmentium becomes "Administratium"-and element which radiates just as much energy as the Governmentium since it has half as many peons, but twice as many morons. Ain't science wonderful You're always the starter in your own life!

Are shock tactics valid? As Riggerob pointed out, yes, S.A.S. and other special ops units screen by shock. They don’t have time to waste on people who freeze in high stress situations. As everyone, military or otherwise knows, you don’t know how you’ll react to a stressful situation until you’re in it. But there is one minor litmus test you can conduct as a cursory survey: Have you ever been accosted by a stranger in a violent situation and did you respond effectively? Have you ever been in a life threatening situation? Did you handle it effectively? Who has been at the wheel of a serious car accident and how did you perform? Who has had (a) fight(s) and how well did you focus on beating/defending your aggressor? The internal question is “Who here has a higher chance of failure?” Essentially, those who’ve dealt with high stress situations tend to deal more effectively with them, then those who haven’t. The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. If someone appears sheltered in that regard, they may need more training. Are shock tactics valid? As Tom Buchanan mentioned “…a good instructor can instill safe conduct without a whole lot of fear.” Shock tactics poorly qualified (explained) can be a serious distraction from what you’re trying to do: train people to perform a skillset in a high stress environment. Take the instructor who has presented shocking material/information for example. Now they’ve introduced a HUGE distraction to their students—something akin to a dark vortex of death. Whatever you’re saying, their minds are now wandering off into “What if” scenarios. Students need to learn by doing, to acquire the skill and mindset they need to perform. Since repetition is the mother of skill, the best approach is to simulate the condition as best as possible and have them continually perform the task they need to learn. Verbal descriptions of what they’ll experience (verbal visualizations) help simulate the environment while they go through their repetitions. Use of their comfort zone is very effective in the learning experience. Stay outside for directing, then move in close to tell them again when they waver or for them to correct their actions, then move back into normal space. Later, they’ll ruminate over what you’ve told them. Science has found that very high stress or psychological trauma leaves an “imprint” on the brain. That’s why a skill learned during high stress retains permanence and why post traumatic stress can recur on a trigger. As stress levels rise the closer it gets to jumping, repeat the instructions. When students repeat their instruction they are more likely to “get” the instruction. They get the skill down by repetition and instruction, they get the gall to do it by the attitude you want them to take in doing it. Over time instructors develop many personalities or, more succinctly, “scripts” to use with different people to get them to achieve the desired result. In the end it’s not fear you want, but action in spite of it. As someone once said, “Courage is not the lack of fear, but the willingness to act, in spite of it.” Cheers!

Certifiable, undeniable, verifiable 100% bull-hockey. Barbara Olsen called her husband twice before her plane crashed into the Pentagon at 534 mph at 9:37 a.m. on 9/11. She took that flight to meet her husband in L.A. for his birthday. You're always the starter in your own life!

As a backdrop to the account given by your eyewitness, you may want to consider reading the first 14 pages of "The 9/11 Commission Report." Those 14 pages reconstruct in amazing detail the movements of all the hijackers in boarding the planes up to their fateful collisions. You might be able to use their chronology with your eyewitness's. For example, on American Airlines Flight 11, the one ringleader Muhammad Atta boarded, the two flight attendants preparing cabin service in first class were stabbed by two terrorists, initiating the hijack at 8:14 a.m.. At that time, Atta and another terrorist, Omari, made their way to the cockpit. Seated behind them was a former Israeli military officer named Daniel Lewin. Realizing what was happening, Lewin went to take action but was stabbed, not knowing that a terrorist was seated directly behind him. You're always the starter in your own life!

Almost 6 months. Was running 70-100 miles/month, repping squats over 400lbs, then suddenly, knee pain. I had put aside additional dough to jump this year too. Stopped running/squatting. X-ray nothing, but the MRI showed a Baker's cyst beneath the patella on my left knee. Will heal in time but every sunny day is a glance skyward to what fun I'm missing.
