"We percieve 4 dimensions, but exist/live in 3.5 dimensions."
The normal way is to say 3 + 1 dimensions
NORMAL? NORMAL???!!!!!
I refuse to sit quietly by, in your little pigeon hole. I like the way I say it better. 3+1. Hmmpf. equals 4. NO. When you can live, not perceive both directions in time then you can have your +1.
You are now officially the teacher's pet.
Ugh. again. ugh.
I think LFL should be, shes the one who needs help. either that or tell her to go back to the 308 class before trying to come here just for the caramel apple martinis. Besides she has some of that doe eyed/hero worship thing going on. I bet she'd even mow your lawn, or wash your mini van, for a good grade.
or Corri. she used more words. Or baltoman, for putting economics and financial gain over efficiency and the beauty of simple complexity. He would definitely get along with that Seattle/Redmond nerd. (ok ok for that scenario I seceed. Using C++ --BLOAT--to write a OS? With the best minds available? COME ON!!!! ) <bf observes secret handshake between the software and hardware manufactureres>
Cool the teachers back. Ring the bell when its time for lunch (or drinks). <bf puts his head down and goes to sleep. dreams of playing marbles with various universi' ...is aroused by the faint murmurings of.. did someone say Rogue? >
Quit playing with your benchmarks for hours. your GGB. LOL.

Jealous much, BF? Aw, I'd wash your car too, maybe even in my string bikini, but you'll be cooking and cleaning my house for a year. Get on your knees and scrub my floors with a toothbrush, wouldya.
"Don't assume that just becasue your wife is overwhelmed that she is not interested. She just may be and is waiting for you to express that to her."
I agree that she is probably interested (I am a profoundly interesting guy afterall ), but she is just not physically capable of being interested right now. Case in point, she sat down with me on the couch last night and asked me about the trip to Belize. I got about 1 day (5 minutes or so) into describing the trip and she fell SOUND asleep. I wasn't hurt or offended, don't get me wrong, but that is also what happens a lot when we have R talks.

You have such a nurturing soul. Thanks for your kind words and understanding.
I sometimes wonder if I have a problem connecting with people, or I should say I HAD a problem. It seems to be so easy now. But my M was built on the old me, and thus all the old issues are in play. How do you flush away the old and start from ground zero? I mean, I hear lots of people saying it, but how do you REALLY do it? I need a reset button.
"She doesn't see a fraction, I bet, of what you hold inside you."
No, she really doesn't. Partly because she can be judgemental and dismissive of my ideas. Granted I do have a lot of outlandish and silly thoughts, but they are my thoughts.
"But I do hear you. Me and plenty of others. I'm thinking of you King Chrome."
That means a lot to me.

"Wish I could offer you some words of encouragement. But I am standing right there beside you on this one in lonely land. And it sucks."
I asked you this on your thread, but it really doesn't matter where it gets posted. What are your thoughts during your most depressed moments? Not just the history of your depression, but what things run through your head? What makes you cry? What makes you feel angry at the world? What makes you feel like it isn't worth it? You said something about dreams that you have, those were pretty intense dreams. But what are the thoughts that keep you awake at night, or make you not want to get out of bed in the morning.
Of course, only if you feel like sharing. I found that talking to people directly about my innermost fears and worst thoughts staved off that "dagger to the chest" feeling that I had 55 minutes out of every hour of the day. If you think it would help to get it all off your chest, or even part, I will listen and try to help.

Hmmm, pulled out SmarmyFoot did we? LOL Have you ever done any group theory mathematics. 3 + 1 doesn't always equal 4. The same can be said about non-euclidean spaces.

Sounds good LFL, when do you want to start?
"is aroused by the faint murmurings of.. did someone say Rogue?"
I also loved the spin-offs, Moria and Angband. Too much time wasted on those games for sure. All the new stuff requires 13-year-old hand-eye coordination to win ... no fun.
"Quit playing with your benchmarks for hours. your GGB."
I'll have to admit my benchmarks were rather long and took a long time to finish. They generated a lot of heat in my front side bus. LOL

Quote: I hear lots of people saying it, but how do you REALLY do it?
Howdy, chrome. I think the answer to that question is that you do it one day at a time, one behavior at a time. It takes years to un-do, just as it took years to do, kwis? You've already got such a good head start going, try not to get frustrated at the lack of warp speed. I know it's hard.
Fwiw, I strive for that honeymoon feeling in my own marriage and we pull off a lesser version of it, for the most part. I mean, with little ones underfoot it'll never be fireworks and ML on the spot, but it's soooooo much more than "hi how ya doin" at the end of a day. I think working towards a place in your M where you greet each other with *real* emotion and passion, at the conclusion of some time apart, is an attainable goal.
Keep at it! If it's any consolation, nowadays when I hear my H describe me, he does it in terms of the "new" me. He no longer speaks of the old me; he doesn't remember her, so thoroughly have I replaced the old behaviors. It took a loooong time, tho. Many many times he'd talk of what I'm "like" and I'd get frustrated because he hadn't noticed my changes. Little by little, they sunk into his skull and now it is second nature.
"It takes years to un-do, just as it took years to do, kwis?"
Yes I do.
"I mean, with little ones underfoot it'll never be fireworks and ML on the spot"
Why not? I mean I guess I can understand because you can never really completely keep your eye off a little one, that would be neglect. But as they get older, do you think it is possible to have an R that is so strong that I could just grab my W, run into the bedroom, close the door, and not care if the kids saw me doing it (not doing IT, but the whole carrying away thing). That is not going the be the way it is all the time, or even most of the time, but can it happen. I have never had fireworks in my marriage, but it seems like it could be possible.

I nod my head with respect. Good job. Sincerely. I hope for the day in which my W sees me fully in a new light, with all the old garbage behind us. Everything worthwhile requires hard work and patience.

Sounds good LFL, when do you want to start? I'll earn my grade thank you very much. However, I'm all for a trade. You can join BF on your hands and knees (then you might be as tall as me) and start scrubbing. You know how much I hate to clean. Then, I'll consider the car wash deal. But it has to be a warm sunny day so I can work on my tan
