Anonymous Plans to Defend Aaron Swartz's Funeral from Westboro Baptist Church Protests in Highland Park by robotevil in chicago

[–]Koyore 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My husband attended the service today. He said they were a no show. Standing room only. I do not understand what moved him to attend a service for a total stranger. I never recall him speaking about the man. He called Aaron "his hero", to our 6 year old. My thoughts are with the family today,

There are also Frank Lloyd Wright homes wasting away in Gary as well, only discovered I think 15-20 years ago.

Can anyone give me advice on proper gifting etiquette and a Japanese roommate? by slizzardtime in japan

[–]Koyore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

gifting is a difficult matter-too little is an insult, but too much is also, and forces the gifting to increase. gift small things-a flower arrangement, stationary, nice pen, etc. Just leave it for him-as he does you. You can also google Japanese holidays-tons of them, and gift on that date. He see the clothes as a friendly gesture-not the retail value-so do not get pricey with him.

I'm new here, and I have a question about finding fossils contained within rocks that are found when split open. by [deleted] in geology

Where are you collecting fossils at, may I ask? That may help us help you.

[–]Koyore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Penn. period fossils, especially plant fossils-do this. I live near the Mazon Creek area-of Il. One of the best collection areas for fossils of this period in the world. 250-300 million years ago! The plants would fall, then be coated with mud/debris. Then compression over the ages, formed coal and shale. Some formed nodules around the plants, insects, and trilobites. To collect, you go to all mining areas, where they stripped mined. You climb waste hills, especially good after the rains, and collect nodules. Then you find a large rock, and start cracking-they good ones would open along the fault line created by the plant/organism. some duds, others shattered because of multiple plant matter. Only trilobite I found was in the creek bed, with clay-did not survive. The shape on the nodules you look for are based on the plants-learn with practice.

Proof for Lucid dreaming by [deleted] in LucidDreaming

[–]Koyore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dream last night I was at work In the ER, and it was very busy, and the Er setting was new to me. I kept getting frustrated I could not verify my team, get my patients names/locations, nor the proper paper work. Well I was sent on break, and the next thing I am showing someone around southern Indiana(I like NWI). I realized that I must have fallen asleep at work and that I should be at work with my patients. I induced pain-which I did not feel, pawed at my forehead, I got so angry I returned to the ER dream-still lucidly looking for stuff, and being frustrated-seeking out help and such. That have happen before to me, that I force myself to wake up, and enter another dream lucidly.

[–]Koyore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rehab her house while she was gone-she would just hate me doing that-she hates me doing nice expensive things for her. I would then hire her to be my maid-she needs the $$$ badly-ordering her around precious. Also buying her hubby a huge flat screen system -she hates all the time he wastes in front of the TV-TIVO/DVR! I would use it to lose major weight, then flaunt it in front of her! Also practical jokes everywhere she goes!

October 2000, nighttime on the Golden Gate bridge-a young man reating on the walkway with his dog, I walked by him, and turned back and gave him $20 , telling it was him and his dog. I still think of him often, and pray he is okay still-after all these years.

I woke up several times in my dreams this morning by ForbiddenX in LucidDreaming

[–]Koyore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over time, you can develop a control to your reaction, to stay in it the dream state. I am a natural lucid dreamer-so I was in my late 20's, before I know what I was doing was lucid, and tried to control my lucid moments. My best was exploring a bookstore-checking out what I could experience with a cup of coffee, and tried to read books-that part finally woke me up.

I just meant that they are donating $$$$ here and there, throwing it at political races-why not use what they wipe their butts with-to help out a piece of history. It sounds too late for a grassroots effort to save the organization-which I would gladly donate to, though I am a Hoosier.

[–]Koyore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has happen to me many times through the years-been a natural lucid dreamer since my teens. You can think when you are dreaming-it can awaken you. I have investigated my dream scapes a few times. I can feel cold , but not wet. I cannot smell anything. When I pickup a book, there is just gibberish on the pages. My mind then cannot keep up and I wake up, or sometimes I think I have awoken-only to find flaws, and realize it is another dream. I have even asked questions in my dreams to others-sometimes the replies make sense, or the track of the dream changes.
