I feel stupid. I thought the moon looked odd or particularly big last night.

don't feel stupid. i only knew to be out there with my camera last night because of my class this semester! i don't watch the news or anything so i wouldn't have even heard about it otherwise probably.

I was soooo sleepy today! Maybe because i exercised yesterday? Maybe because its finally getting colder outside? Last night i fell asleep on my right side (usually i sleep on my left) and did not move until this morning, i was surprised to find myself still there! Plus ive been having giganto sneezes, like old man sneezes. Freak me out.

I thought I was going to have to go with my foolproof book-finding plan, ordering another copy. That's sure to result in someone saying, "Why are there two of this book on my shelf?" (Mitosis? Like finds like? Book cloning?)

Have you tried this?

Its against the rules to discuss what is said in other forums in another forum, but OKAAAAY!!! This time we can make an exception!

Question though - were they drunk?

Yeah that would be way rude. To blab on the forum what somebody tells you in private. Hence against the rules.

But its also not allowed to say, "can you beleeeeve what they said on such forum?"

I am confused( not hard really) but do you mean a forum other than pc? Or a sub forum on here, because that doesn’t make much sense when anyone can just find the thread and read it.

susannahsays · Jan 21, 2019 at 08:49 PM

It was in another thread on the psychotherapy forum. I don't get what's wrong with that.

I had to put aside the Cromwell biography I was reading for some lighter fare, The Looking Glass Wars.

Possible trigger:

I’m finding the allusions to the probability that Carroll/Dodgson was in love with the child Alice Liddell in real life creepy in a book kids might be reading.

Nothing, provided it’s not part of some cross-thread war or flaming other members. Which this isn’t.

susannahsays · Jan 21, 2019 at 08:58 PM

Possible trigger:

I think any child who is disposed to read The Looking Glass Wars will probably have googled Lewis Carroll and be aware of his attraction to children.

I'm working on the lab for this section of my class right now. It's cool cuz we have an online simulator thing "rotating sky lab" where you can plug in locations (latitude and longitude) and then put a star in or a constellation in and start the animation and watch how it travels across space. i'm having so much fun playing with it I keep forgetting i'm supposed to be answering the 33 questions in the 2 quizzes associated with it. I've managed to answer only 7 so far!! I better start paying attention! i'm working ahead a little bit - earlier today I finished what's due Thursday, so I have until 1/31 to get this stuff done. I read chapter 2.1, I have to still finish the lab and those 2 quizzes, then read chapter 2.2, then do the homework module 2, then do another discussion post, then take the chapter 2 quiz. I am crossing my fingers that I won't have any overtime this coming weekend, things are winding down and starting to get back to normal at work, so hopefully I'll have a full weekend to spend on school!! I'm going to take a day off work during the first week of Feb to spend on chapter 3. I carried over 39 hours of vacation from last year (because we've been on overtime since October i wasn't able to use it all) so I have a LOT this year.

It is also against the rules to describe someone's life as a "train wreck".

I think this has been debunked.

susannahsays · Jan 21, 2019 at 09:45 PM

Wait whose life is a train wreck?

Not at all.

Possible trigger:

At least, not that he sexualized children.

I googled earlier. There are two schools of thought.

Some of his photographs of Alice and her sisters are quite suggestive.
