I was responding to this when the Internet went down several days ago. I thought I had ruined the web site (again), but it turns out the landlord, an electrician, triggered the GFCI on the plug in the basement. So, yeah, everybody sat around here offline because I was too stupid to figure out what happened. The good news is the cable guy was ecstatic he had an easy job for a change.

Ah that does sound very Udo. I'd love to talk to him someday as a human, I have the Wolf family in my tree. German culture is all about behaving.

I think Evo has the Wolf family in her tree, too. Wink

Well, then don't go out of your way to creep people out. I mean look at the stalker you attracted. Change. "When any situation is insurmountable, change some factor and see what happens" Heinlein wrote that.... the character stuck bubble gum in the door of an alien spacecraft (they had been kidnapped by aliens) and they were able to get the door open. Good story.

This is not intentional, trust me. I like the Jonathan Livingston Seagull approach more: I'll be me and one day find somebody who enjoys participating in the same kinds of things. There will always be manipulative borderline personalities. The creepy feelings are good at protecting me from them. Which reminds me, I had a dream recently that Justin didn't refuse to go on stage or whatever because I was around. I was sleeping on the sofa in the reception area of one of my jobs, as I can't work 24-7 all the time. So, things were all nice and happy with Justin there, and I scared myself awake to make sure the "presence" in the dream wasn't somebody from the real world entering the building in the wee hours and finding me sleeping on the job. Not to worry, that job pays per project and not per hour.

Anyway yes I followed Gutfeld over the holidays, I've always enjoyed the Five. Did you see the marvelous sweater he got??? He wore it one day. I LOVED it.

I didn't see the sweater. I think in the post that disappeared when the Internet went down, I said how I like Gutfeld. I relax to his clever honesty after a long, insane day. I also relax to thunderstorms. In the old post I said I did hear him say some chick was as classy as he is gassy. I tied that back to the stalker and said I already tried it. Which leads me to . . . this ginger tea tastes awful, but the aftertaste is supreme.

I think Justin cares about exactly two things 1) making good music and I hope he keeps it up 2) getting on stage and soaking up the adulation. We all get our jollies in one way or another. He feels safe up there, and it builds his confidence. You and I are but two little pebbles in the great sea of his fans. That's all. Confused

I cannot fathom what Justin thinks, but if I had to guess, I would say he cares about his family, as he always says the nicest things about his wife, daughter, and grandson. I also think he cares about people, at least he gives the profoundest of impressions that he does. I agree he cares about his music; he said in the interview it is terrifying to think of not doing it, and I agree. I also think he wants to be right with the Creator in some ways, just because he is so thoughtful and so blessed. He must be doing something right.

One of my resolutions (doesn't have to be for New Year) is to not blow my money chasing Justin around the world and country, and to invest in my retirement instead. Yes Justin and his music, is central to my happiness (like the rest of the adulating crowd), but I'll have to wait until it's more reasonable to go see a show. Enjoy YOUR journey and enjoy the shows. Don't waste energy pulling a "Gutfeld"............

I won't be sitting in any $449 seats unless somebody wants to buy me one - in which case I would probably be too suspicious to accept. Next month, I get to do a short, 3 sentensish blurb for the A&E section, which I cover for a local publication, on the Cherokee show. I'll probably say something to lose that gig, like, "Hey, can somebody get me a good seat? I loooooooove Justin Hayward! Yoweeeeeeeeeee!" Suffice it to say, every show I miss will flood my wee little head with regrets.

Now, that I"ve said all that, I think I have the same "Math Required" numbers.

Seriously. My great grandfather's mum had him out of wedlock, and remarried a Wolf. Long story, you'd be bored.

Marvelous writer: I actually wrote and got a response from Richard Bach (email) he seems nice, he's darn lucky to be alive after he totaled his fancy plane named Puff up in Anacortes. I think the two of them (Richard and Puff) flew over my house once. I certainly hope there's a Seagull out there for all of us.

I think Justin cares about his family too. I unfortunately tend to see the dark side, and thankfully you see the lighter side. Thank you.

Onward... we see the shows that fit with our path in life I figure.

I found out something interesting from my nurse practitioner today. If you take those eye drops to "get the red out" they can have vasoconstrictors and can make your eye dryness worse.

I've had dry eyes since I went on BP meds last September, generally just awful problems dehydrating. she recommended natural tears.

Cataract surgery is said to be pretty routine anymore. My cousin had to have lenses replaced because they shattered.... he used to do a lot of Motocross.

That's sort of the reason I don't do meds. You probably noticed my eyes, at least when I wore hard contacts, were in a permanent state of shot. I refused to use eyedrops lest their vasoconstriction deplete the eyes of the extra oxygen for which the veins were so desperately reaching. But if you hurry up and come here, it is cold enough to make the tears shoot out of your eyes.

I shall explain my un-joke. You said you "see" the "dark" side. I only see light. That you saw dark made me think of extra-visible spectrum perception. Okay. It wasn't funny.

A tad obscure, but I understand now. I would have said "perceive" rather than "see" but it was easier to type "see".........

Very rarely do people suffer from cataracts these days, laser tech usually deals with it.

I did Chinese New Year and resolved to get back on my diet and be a good girl. I gained a couple of pounds..... mostly I have to get out and walk at night... it's been too cold and rainy and depressing to do it.

I dislike sloth.... be good to yourself now leslee. You're too tough on the self.
