@coryphella I have had some similar thoughts, for sure, that you are exploring.

And I know not to assume that everyone else is on the same page as me.

I don’t expect everyone to “play the game” the same. Yes, things have been said and done toward me that may get an emotional reaction, but I know the slight or insult is usually part of a…[Read more]

A couple thoughts on @michelle‘s recent post…

I’m still on a belief that they will try to divide the community. We can give lip service to the idea of we’re all The One and this community is strong… blah blan blah. But, what it comes down to is people wanting a slice of the pie, of a moment in the sunshine. So, who’s willing to throw friends…

Yes, @wanda102, I took that comment from Sarah as a reference to his drinking hurting business.

@anakindrew Thank you for adding that detail about “I can improvise” coming from Sarah, I did not catch that phrase at the time. Also… impressed by your willingness to stand by that moral code, I felt for sure I could sway you… 😉

You mention…[Read more]

@mike Thank you for sharing… I was worried about you! Dude, you got a chocolate shake? They only had water in the group!

Hey… just getting in and catching up on people’s thoughts. A few things to throw in…

@kevin Very interesting idea that a time stamp could be an alibi for some future reason, that would be damn clever. It will be interesting to see if that pans out somehow.

@lukasrl To answer your question from way back, @mike and I received a joint…[Read more]

@mike Everybody in Hollywood knows @bcbishop is the “it” guy.

@shaun Perhaps, for now. 😉

@bcbishop I agree that the diversity is key here since we are creating some sort of focus group.
(Which is also playing right into Noah’s plans… or is it?)
>Insert dramatic music sting here<

@macbethinabathtub I want to comment on something specific in your post… I DO think this is something separate from the original round of responses.
In any focus group, you don’t just pull from known sources. If they see any of us as good potential candidates for The System I do not think it would be a factor. They are looking for…[Read more]

Yeah, Team @jakeo all the way, of course.

@mike After the last couple of days, who knows what’s about to go down…

Wait… I am confused. What’s going on?

Hey, Folks, I am back after several hours of meetings. Sorry I had to miss this unfolding.
I had the conversations with Mike, then went behind closed doors at work. Great to hear everyone’s thoughts.

I agree with the idea that marketing is a key theme over the last couple of days. Wasn’t “focus group” mentioned? It seems to me it is now…[Read more]

Thank you, @winstonsmith

@coryphella – nailed it.

…this whole thing is not one big episode of Survivor.

“The Storm on the Horizon…”
Does it have to be a storm? Maybe. I am catching up and doing my best to understand the mixed emotions people are pouring forth. We are all complicated in our own way and this experience is going to be different for each of us.

Personally, I don’t mind sincere emotional investment to go on this roller-coater…[Read more]

Sometimes, @larry, we all get a little “squishy.”

@wanda102, it sounds like you made a decision as you felt under pressure… and I think you made a very good one! Hey… sign of a leader, for sure!! Glad it’s @julierei

Please keep the community informed as best you can, good luck tonight!

I like the idea of community input, but personally I believe the final decision should rest with @wanda102, as instructed. After all, Cristen’s decision may be a way for the person arranging this meeting to learn a little bit about her.
(Sorry Cristen… not trying to make you paranoid or anything, but it seems you have eyes on you right…[Read more]
