Hmmm, I was contemplating a trip to the Archives for the cookies 🍪. . . I was under the impression that they had REALLY good cookies . . . I was TOLD that, not only were there cookies, but that they were astronomically superior to fresh DoubleTree cookies . . . was I misinformed!?🤨 I am going to be HIGHLY perturbed if THOSE cookies aren't there.😠

I'm just going to mention what I, personally, think of this tv series without actually talking about it so that I don't spoil it for anyone watching it. O.K., been watching Wheel of Time on Prime and I do NOT remember, when I read the books, hoping that someone . . . ANYONE, would just kill Nynaeve al'Meara - like, just kill her . . . please. Now it's been years since I read the books, so I could be mistaken about how she was portrayed in them. I just know that the tv version of her makes the perfectly healthy guy cowering in a corner and begging you to save HIS life (instead of the unconscious individual you're struggling to carry) during a Kobayashi Maru psychosimulator test, not only look fearless, but a true man of action and unwavering strength. Just saying. Like I mentioned, it's been years since I read the series (which I read over, something like, 23 years because that's about how long it took to be completed), but the tv version is clearly different and, while any tv adaption of a book will have differences for obvious reasons (time constraints, production limitations, monetary, etc.), this series deviates enough from the source material that even I, with my glitchy memory, notices it. Don't get me wrong, had I not read the books I would say the tv series is great, and it is, but having read the books the deviations from the source nag at me. That said, if you can look past and accept that certain changes are necessary to bring a book to screen, it's a passable adaptation - kill Nynaeve and I'd say it's an ASTOUNDING tv series loosely based on the Wheel of Time universe!

We're supposed to know all the words!? Just a minute . . . let me check . . . yep, I know them. I've had Flo Rida's Low before, just the low, low, low part and a random "apple bottom jeans, jeans" and "fur, with the fur" thrown in because that's about all the lyrics I know. I use Lil Jon's Get Low (but just the "window to the wall" part) to jumble it up and short circuit it. Another one I keep getting stuck with is People R Ugly's Brain Dead. By the way, their cover of 4 Non Blondes' What's Up is worth a listen.

3 days and counting with Blondies' "Dreaming" stuck in my head.🫠 A great song, but . . . COME ON!😬 I have to make a concentrated effort just to stay focused enough to finish a post on topic, but an earworm lasts for days.🤪

Does psionics exist and do they fall under this category, and if so, how? Or did I miss it in another post?

We all have had traumatic experiences - I've mentioned my mother taking me to see The Exorcist at 6-years-old. But there are several other moments from my childhood, one being: My father, for a while, had a night job (more second shift, not overnight) at a facility for the "mentally impaired" (they still had them at the time and that was NOT what it was called, but that was a different time, populated with individuals who didn't make a living by finding ANY reason to be offended . . . but I digress) and we would pick him up very late. The parking lot was dark and there were very few lights outside the building. As a child, the building seemed far taller than the 10 or so floors it actually was and, with dim lights burning in random windows, had an eerie feel about it. But that was not why it was traumatic. No, the traumatic thing about it was the screaming. Blood curdling screams. Horrific cries from the depths of tormented souls that seemed to go on forever. Imagine being a small child sitting in a dark parking lot, staring at a building that, to you, is straight out of some demented nightmare, screams echoing all around and your father walking out of that darkness, whence those haunting sounds emanated. Yeah. This was BEFORE The Exorcist. Good times.

Snypiuer disregards ALL warnings and simply notes - May get "snippy" if used as fuel source.

Are there any accounts of anyone "feeding" on or "harvesting" the Demosidhe to, simply, take their power, rather than partnering with them?

I've been skimming this in an attempt to get a feel for it while trying to lessen the spoiler effect. I'm ALSO trying really hard NOT to go back and read the original to freshen my memory on who is who beyond Harmony and Muse! From what I've allowed myself to absorb, I'm going to have to get the book sooner rather than later so I can actually READ this! That said, any idea when this one MIGHT be out? ** Snypiuer slowly reaches for a pointy stick as he glares at Harmony and Muse **🤨

The Bel'Vekian jumping turtle is, basically, a frog/turtle hybrid whos' origin is . . . disturbing. As we know, the Bel'Vekians have turned their planet into a giant science experiment in order to create weapons (or whatever may be desired) to sell to the highest bidder. They live in sterile labs that span the entirety of the planet, sealed off from its' atmosphere and protected from whatever survives within its environment. The Bel'Vekians have found that, simply ejecting their failed experiments and waste indiscriminately, can lead to discoveries never contemplated. The Bel'Vekian jumping turtle is the product of this practice. The Nevb Coalition of sector 7.23 of the Direliz Quadrant had commissioned a physical enhancement drug to allow their settlers to survive the higher gravity of several planets they had conquered and depopulated. The Bel'Vekian scientist used testosterone, the adrenal glands and pituitary glands of the giant marsh frogs to create a drug but it was far too powerful, causing grotesque physical changes that were incompatible with sustaining a colony. So, they dumped it. It didn't take long to totally contaminate the giant marsh frog population, leading to larger, more aggressive offspring. It was so devastating, within three generations, not only were all members of the species larger and more aggressive, not one female was produced. This is where it gets disturbing. The last generation of the giant marsh frog; larger, more aggressive, filled with testosterone and no . . . outlet, descended upon a large population of marsh turtles, eliminating all the males and . . . violating the females in an uncontrollable frenzy. It lasted, non-stop for days, until the last giant marsh frog expired from exhaustion. Like I said . . . disturbing. With all the contaminates in the environment, it was actually quite easy for cross species breeding to occur. Thus, we now have the Bel'Vekian jumping turtle. This unexpected outcome has also led to the creation of the Bel'Vekian: Monitor Sloth, Spider Worm, Tarantula Hamster and the surprisingly cuddly Centipede Wombat - among others. ** All animal names used are of the closest Earth animal equivalent of the actual Bel'Vekian species in appearance, in order to be able to visualize the subject **

Wait . . . when did I do this? Might have to rename - "Chronicles of a Procrastinator with ADD"🤪

Day 1:

Thanks for the info., just wanted to make sure there wouldn't be a problem with the Hello Kitty magnet stuck to the ricasso of my enchanted sword, Doris Nether Bane - Devourer of Demon Spleens. And, you know, just for NEXT time, it'd be helpful to some of us if you LEAD with the advice on protecting and securing your mind and dreams against evil and forgotten beings using them to enter our world . . . you know, for NEXT time. Now . . . kind of busy . . . have a bit of a . . . situation . . . let you know how it goes . . . maybe.😐

Coolness. since I'm not in IL., chances of recognizing me - slim! Anyways, let me know when you have definite schedules, and I'll send a bulk mail to let everyone know so those in that vicinity can have a heads up. If you have a virtual signing, at some point, I can send one for that also. Now, do you have an idea as to how many books will make up the Awakening series? Are you planning on an open-ended universe or a finite series? Finally, it won't be soon, but I do plan on buying several (not a lot, a few) and then harassing you for an address so I can send them to you to sign them. One for me and a couple, or so, to give away - I plan on using them to TRY to get more participation.😉

Is feromantic iron magnetic? Are any of these metals magnetic? If yes, once enchanted, does a magnet have any effect on the enchantment?
