What exactly does that mean?  Paranormal investigators will often use digital recorders in their investigations to ask questions in an area where there is supposed activity.  Often they will receive responses.  For instance an investigator can ask “What is your name?”  A response, lower than normal auditory levels, will be caught by the digital recorder.  When played back investigators will hear a voice or sound that was not present when the question was asked.

Here are some great examples from The Ghost Investigators Society:

…and I definitely need to write more.  According to Sabrina.  She is right.

On occasion though I have experienced what is called Lucid Dreaming.  This is where a person is aware that he or she is dreaming, and can actually manipulate experiences as the dream happens.  I’ve actually been working on this somewhat with myself in that I would to control my own dream sequences.  Two of the most interesting lucid dreaming experiences I’ve ever had happened several years ago.  My grandparents have  long ago passed, but on occasion I have dreamed about them and remember having vivid conversations about current events in my life.  It was absolutely fascinating to be able to converse with them, even if it was only in a dream.

So are you a vivid or lucid dreamer?  Leave your comments below:

Macworld is reporting a vast array of features such as:

• Landscape orientation for all key applications, such as Mail, Notes & SMS
• Voice memos
• Spotlight search capability (very exciting)
• Stereo Bluetooth Support (A2DP)
• Note Sync – personally my favorite.

iPod Touch users should expect to cough up about $10 for the updated software, which is the same price as the 2.0 software last year.

combover |ˈkōmˌōvər| (also comb-over)
noun
hair that is combed over a bald spot in an attempt to cover it.

The other night I had a nightmare about a comb-over.  (Yeah these are the types of nightmares I have..last night I had a dream about batting in a little league game, and threatening the pitcher for throwing at me…in little league…)  My dream consisted of me looking at myself from behind, and watching me trying to comb-over hair.  Not pleasant.

So I knew ye old hair was going for a long time, and I had come to accept that.  Eventually less and less hair was at my disposal to use.  Then the inevitable happened, and I knew.  I fired up the car and took a drive to Wal-Mart, bought an $8 pair of clippers and shaved it all off.

Outside of feeling more aerodynamic at the time, there were some other pros for having a shaved head:

1.  I’m going to save a ton on shampoo.

2. I’m going to save a ton on hair gel.

3.  Women are going to rub my head.  Lots of them.

Number three did not occur as much as I had hoped, but that was a pro at the time.  For a few years I’m feeling pretty good about my new found “do”.  Occasionally mom would say something like “Wow I wish you had your old hair back” or “Why don’t you try some Rogaine?” I guess there is something about spraying a chemical on my head to grow hair that frightens me.

NO, NO and NO

Then year before last the whole bald thing hit me.

I was up with Dave  & Susie in the Wisconsin Dells taking some kind of horse drawn carriage ride, with this Mom, Dad & little girl behind us.  The tour was going right along and then I hear the little girl say, “Wow Mommie…THAT GUY IS BALD!”  I was looking around to make fun of the bald guy too.  This was gonna be awesome!  “HEY CUEBALL!”  I turned around and saw she was looking at me.

Oh crap.

My first reaction was to say something off the wall like, “That’s what chemo does to you…”, but I’m pretty sure I would have caught on fire right there for that one.  Instead I just laughed and smiled.  What else can you do?  It was a little kid.

There is a point to this.  Guys – if you are staring to go..accept it.  The quicker you do, the quicker you can endure the humiliation.

P.S.

Don’t think I didn’t imagine pushing her off the cart.

6 eggs + double yolk  – 7 = 1…If I did the math correctly.

Next she mad what I believe is the most epic quote anyone could ever make.  It certainly went to the top of my list of all time crazy quotes.  Miss Suleman says:

“I know I’ll be able to afford them when I’m done with my schooling. If I were just sitting down, watching TV and not being as determined as I am to succeed and provide a better future for my children, I believe that would be considered to a certainly degree selfish,” she said.

She did also mention that the fact that she is being judged for being a single mother.  I did stop to think about that for a second.  I can see where people would be critical of her.  Society still, for some dumb reason, frowns upon being a single parent.  I personally know several people where being a single parent is way more beneficial to the child, rather than a two parent household.

I will give her credit though.  She wants no welfare compensation, and all the children were conceived by the same donor.  According to her she would love the “father” to be in their lives when the time is right.  I can’t imagine that conversation.

*Telephone Rings

Donor: Hello?

Nadya: Hey…its Nadya.  How are things going?

Donor: Good good…SSDD.  How are you?

Nadya: Um..pretty good.  Went to the Dr today for my ultrasound.  It was amazing!!!!

Donor: Wow! So everything is good with the little guy?

Nadya: …uh…about that…it is a miracle!  You aren’t going to believe it. The Dr said he saw more than one head.

Donor: Twins?  I am so happy for you!

Nadya: No…8 heads…..

*choking noise on other end of the line…..Nadya continues*

Nadya: I want you to be in their lives when you are ready.

Donor: This is like the last time when you said you only wanted 2 right?

If I were this guy I would get a few more jobs.  ASAP.
