@larry:

FWIW, I don’t actually disagree that emotional honesty is a smart way to respond to things. It is my preference whenever faced with such options (although I cannot claim to be 100% perfect. I’ve failed–badly–in my past, and it has cost me dearly and in ways that I cannot ever repair or replace. Hence why I try hard to be honest now.…[Read more]

@remrelganaps:

IMO, the short answer is ‘No, it would not exist.’

The much longer answer requires a long diversion into what constitutes ‘observation’, ‘living’ and ‘awareness’. Much too long for me on a Sunday afternoon when I am already tired from another night of far too many thoughts and not nearly enough actual sleep. But suffice it to say…[Read more]

@larry:

I used to believe the way you did. Honestly, I did. I sought ‘objective truth’ in all that I did, or at least strove to be on that path.

Unfortunately (and I mean that word in its most sincere sense), I have come to realize that there -is- no such thing. There is nothing -objective- in the universe.

Our existence is virtual–but it…[Read more]

No remorse, no retribution
Just…
Winning, winning, winning.

That’s certainly one way of looking at it, @larry. In fact, there’s an argument to be made that in today’s world, that seems to be ALL that matters. Winning. It doesn’t matter if you’re right or wrong, if you’re speaking the truth or fiction.

It doesn’t matter if this is a game, or…[Read more]

@larry You may absolutely disagree, good Sir!

I do appreciate a thorough and articulate rebuttal. To this, I thank you for your time and thoughts.

I did come across an article the original point I made, but since it is buried in the sea of the internet— I must acquiesce to your point until I can bring that article forward.

@larry I hate to say it, but I think maybe someone should: Stephanie is your kryptonite. You have a blind spot when it comes to her, and you should be careful with that.

@larry Really? Do you find it hard to believe that, or do you wish not to believe that because it would suck? At this point, I have no issue believing anyone involved in this would willingly mislead each and everyone one of us given the opportunity.

@bruinbown Sometimes… shit happens, even between friends. @mike has stood by my side more than he has turned his back.

@sfire8 There is some upset. But I will deal with that in my own way in my own time. Rest assured.

@larry To be clear, I was not following instruction of Mike’s doing. I needed to observe for a bit.

I, too, can…[Read more]

I was talking with @larry a bit last night about my meeting and one word came to mind in regards to how @mike was acting: Heartless.

When he first showed up he seemed like the Mike we all knew. Offered to buy my coffee for me, we chatted about stuff (mostly haunt and car issues related), and he seemed “normal”. As soon as we got outside and sat…[Read more]

I just can’t shake the sentence on the registration paper right now. WE PLEDGE OUR DESIRE FOR THEIR SACRIFICE AND FREEDOM. At the time, almost all of us signed our names without even really understanding what this sentence meant. As others have mentioned, we’ve heard this bits of this phrase a couple other times, and now we have this morsel from…[Read more]

Yes, @larry, several people did have odd interactions with her at that gathering. To me, it seemed like some of the people there were making her very nervous… but I cannot tell you who specifically. She just seemed generally “on edge” a bit.

@larry, she apologized for being a disappointment to me since she had been unable to make an emotional connection with me. But… since no emotional connection was made I did not feel she had disappointed me. I had actually reached out to iConfidant to say the process was not really engaging me.
Looking back, I wonder if the reason she did’t…[Read more]

@larry If some of your theory is accurate about Sabrina and her return, if her goal with iConfidant was to simply gather as much data on as many folks as possible… how does that explain her barely making an attempt to connect with me? You make me wonder if she was deliberate in not connecting with me.
She and I have only spoken a couple of…[Read more]

Verbal contract, @larry.

@shankfx22 Makes sense.

I’m super curious about Stephanie, though…did Sabrina think she was on her(our?) side?? If Stephanie was s’posed to “play a role” does that mean Briarberg is in fact just another OSDM construct?? Or did that have to do with her conversation with @larry??

That’s a cute story @larry. Too bad it has nothing to do with this.

This is not a case of our action having unintended consequences. This is us taking one action, and a separate group of people deciding to make their own action. This isn’t passing a law that has negative results, this is an organization with their own motives making a decision to…[Read more]

@daela I know I’ve been quiet lately. That tag means a hell of a lot. Also, I missed the whole MyChild kerfuffle while typing this up, so I feel rather silly posting now. Anyway, for those who care, read on.

What ended up happening to me in the first month or so of this experience was pretty life changing. I still live with my ringer on. Just in…[Read more]

@larry I’ve listened to it a few times in the past couple days.. it hurts. But it’s worth going back to. Now that we’ve put a few months between then and now, especially. A frank discussion about dissociation following a fundamental loss of control of one’s own life, and how she has been regaining that control.
