Noslonna | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 02:22 pm  Virtual House Boy's Room 12:05 PM Vykin: He didn't sleep well thinking about the pending lawsuit against Big H. Internet Camera 12:00 PM Vykin: Tells Xenia noone knew his alter-ego and asks is she is smoking crack again. He says he has a legitimate lawsuit and he is preceeding. 12:30 PM Himay: She emailed the BigHost and asked if she could share information about Pickle Page with her fellow BGs. BH said it is up to her. Himay thanks all her fans and even though she is nominated she says she is going to "suck it up and deal." 12:50 PM Xenia: Yo! Giblets! Remember this e-mail: "I forgot to tell you I am the currently selected Optics." Xenia posts subsequent replies as well. Vykin: Says not to believe everything Xenia says. Vykin says, "She's just pissed because I refuse to have sex with her!" Bathroom 12:15 PM Vykin: Finds a used condom and suspects Xenia and Roger. He hopes Roger is careful because he thinks "Xenia is a black widow and once she traps Roger, her perverse sexual fantasies will turn Roger into a kept man." He wonders if Roger saw the "whips and chains Xenia snuck in here." 12:40 PM Xenia: Yo! Giblets!!! Don't you know how to read? It was a FANTASY! Xenia says tells Vykin he has been spreading germs after "having your finger up your ass then touching everything." |
Noslonna | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 02:39 pm  Internet Camera 1:40 PM Luke: Says he is going to vent here. He says the bickering is getting to him. He makes an appeal to fans, "If all of you are as tired of this ßull$hit as I am, then just vote out those who are acting as if they have the biggest object stuck up their a$$. You know who they are." 1:50 PM Vykin: Laughs at Luke and tells him he loved his "stomp." 2:05 PM Arreal: Defends herself to Luke. Says she was just "deflecting insults by Man" and says that does not make her a "bickering person." Arreal says Mantastic and Xenia "Were not being cool." 2:20 PM Luke: I'm not focusing on one specific person. bicker all you want, everyone! But go to the Improv or go Outside, and let those of us who are trying to get the Challenge done do so without distraction! 2:30 PM Arreal: Says thankyou to the person that updated her fan site. Arreal says "It's a strange feeling being bashed by someone in the house." She finds it amusing that she was called "was called boring, and fragile." She can't imagine finding a person boring. Arreal says it is intriguing "to find adults using name calling as a way to express their anger." |
Sandyc | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 02:47 pm  Want me to take over for awhile? till about 5 board time? |
Sandyc | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 03:01 pm  Challenge 4 DA About 2PM Vykin: " Okay folks, here is my theory, Jane is blind, she is taken to her destination by another human being who is her "guide". She does not have to speak with the "guide" cuz he/she leads her to the destination. (I have to pop out for a few hours but will return I will trust Roger or Moondance, anyone but Xenia to submit this theory) Arreal: " Oh dear...all I can do is laugh @ Man. Me, fragile??? Not hardly. I have handled far worse than what he could dish out. Man--I'm sorry that your reality is based on your delusions of granduer. Luke:" Okay... I'm back with my double Western bacon cheeseburger... JMO, but I think we should wait until our current questions are answered before we post more. The answers could possibly make other questions we post irrelevant. Arreal:" I completely agree Luke. No more questions until we get these 5 answered. Luke:" Hey everyone... I was out venting for a while... Feel much better! aaahhhhhhhh! So is anyone left in here? or are we just waiting for some answers to our questions? Mantastic: "arreal: shhh... i'm trying to imagine you with one *interesting* personality, not six boring, self-indulgent, weepy ones. you shouldn't punish yourself, though. you should honour all those personality flaws, for without them, you'd have no personality at all. Moondance: " Arreal… Your strength is your testament ... you have been through a lot and have conquered many obstacles! Sure wish we could get some answers ... hint hint We have asked enough in different areas so we should wait .... Himay10ns:" Damn, I was absent the day God passed out "quick wit". I agree with Luke...no more questions til we hear from BigHost. Moondance:" Manastic ... not cool ... what's up? I gave 2 discussion topics because you wanted them ... go check them out and lets leave this for the challenge! Arreal: "Thanks Moon. Zebulon: "<steps to the back of the belligerency line and passes time by actually discussing the challenge> If Jane turns out to be a baby as noted in one of the questions, maybe she was being carried by someone who works there. Arreal: "An adoption agency and Jane is sleeping? Welcome to our Friendship Zone Tuk. Zebulon: " I think the basic questions have been asked since we know she's a human. I'll check back for the answers later and then see what can be put together. Moondance: "Thanks Zeb! Roger_Ramjet: "Moon--way back up to the question you asked--yes, it seems reasonable to include as good possibilities. I like the idea of waiting for answers--and think we should ask Host officially if it's possible to hurry with answers wince there is a time limit, as well as a limit on questions. If we could ask all of our qestions with out limit, we could throw them all up there, and not have too much left to figure out once answered--this challenge is not that way. maybe host just wants us to feel a little antsy, and will come through?? Moondance: "I think our Host is playing with us Yes, we need our answers" |
Sandyc | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 03:37 pm  Darn lost two whole posts. Will try to recap. Internet Camera -- Himay10ns: " Last night in the chat, "someone" leaked my fanpage. www.geocities.com/savethepickle Linked to my page are pages for Moon, Tali and Zeb....pretty cool! We all have fans.... " Moondance: " <nervous laughter> I can't find anyone... I started 2 topics in the discussion thread and a couple jokes ... even guessed a couple dumb guess in the challenge ... hello where is everybody... Bueler? Bueler? <whispers> there are fights everywhere ... the pressure is high ... the air is getting thick... Angels send something! Anything!..... Jana? Katie? Rasputan? Help!!!!" Arreal: " Got to go check out your sights. I like sights. lol (((Moon))) THE IMPROVE ROOM -- Himay10ns: " A woman goes into a store looking for a birthday gift for her husband. She says to the store clerk, "What do you get for a man that has everything?". The clerk says, "Well, I have this frog that gives blowj*bs." She says, "Great! I'll take it!" The woman takes the frog home. She gives the frog to her husband, wishes him a happy birthday and heads off to bed. Hours later she wakes up and hears her husband and the frog laughing in the kitchen. She walks downstairs and finds them laughing and reading a cookbook. She says, "What in the world are you doing?" Her husband looks at her and says, "Hey, if I can teach this frog how to cook, you're outta here b*tch!" " CHALLENGE 4 DISCUSSION AREA -- Moondance: " uuummm Hi Moon... how are you?" (ed:- yes she really did say hi to herself). "Well we have less then 3 hours to get the answers to our questions and decide on the final answer...." Himay10ns: " Moon...relax. It's only Wednesday, our answer isn't due til tomorrow!" Moondance: " Oh sorry... I thought it was due today ... hey good to see you...I was starting to talk to myself! I think I will go get some work done then" PLAYROOM REQUEST AREA -- In case anyone missed it, more b*tchin from Vykin: " Host, I need a ...Clarification Refer to posts in the Challenge 4 folder - Why is it when I post a message and refer to Xenia as a B*(&)$*,it gets censored, yet when she refers to me as a "douchebag" the word isn't censored?" Himay10ns: " BigHost, this is a request for the time zone challenged like myself. Do you think you could post a graphic with the US and Canada and put red dots on the map showing where we are all "from"? That way, each of us would know what time zone the others are in. (-10 for ending that sentence with a preposition) Thanks...." |
Noslonna | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 03:52 pm  Challenge 4 - Group Puzzle (Also know as Bashing in the Board Room.) Xenia: Says she is "going to split" because they won't get answers from BH to their questions until after 3 PM. She asks someone to think of new discussion topics because things are getting boring. (ed. Moondance started 2 soon after) Himay: Asks if Jane is blind could the building provide seeing eye dogs or could Jane have a GPS, Global Positioning System. Moondance: Tell Himay she asked similiar questions earlier. Mantastic: Hates riddles and says sorry but he can't help. Thought yesterday's discussion were fun but not into the "virtual house" thing. Moondance: Tells Mantastic to come up with some topics for discussion then and tells him she has put in requests to "down size the house." Moondance tells Mantastic she posted two new topics and tells him to "see if one floats your boat!" Xenia: In her usual huggable mode asks Mantastic, "Why don't you just f-cking quit right now? Let yourself off the hook and save us the effort of having to read your self-absorbed posts." Mantastic: Thanks Xenia and says, "I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public." Mantastic describes Xenia as "A homely-looking frigid douchebag with the temperament of a car alarm." Xenia: Asks Mantastice, "Why haven't you taken the time to grace us with your wit before you had to be provoked? Too lazy or too stupid?" Vykin: Tells Mantastic not to worry about Xenia. He calls her a "freaking schizto" and a "lazy pervert." Moondance: Tries to get them back to the Challenge topic. Arreal: Comes to Xenia's defense. Arreal says, "Xenia voiced her opinion in a callous, negative way, but she did not attack YOU. Now you're attacking HER back Mantastic. I don't see how that makes you better." Arreal asks them to go start their own thread because she wants to concentrate on the puzzle Challenge. Mantastic: To Arreal, "Go be fragile somewhere else." To Xenia, "If you can't avoid being a neurotic dullard, at least try to conceal it." Mantastic ends with, "this is fun, and I could go on all day saying nasty things, but quite honestly I have better things to do." Roger: Asks "a request as a favor" if they can stick to topics and avoid bashing each other. |
Noslonna | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 03:57 pm  Thanks Sandy! My hungry family thanks you also. I will come back after dinner. |
Sandyc | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 04:00 pm  CHALLENGE 4 DISCUSSION AREA -- 3:44 PM. Roger_Ramjet " Folks, I heard some say that it's tough to remember what the challenge says exactly?? Did I understand correctly? If so, and you have access to a printer, you can print the challenge from the page that you see when you first click on challenge #4. With all of the messages going on, that we are having about the challenge and how the wording is of importance, it may help if you haven't already printed the topic." Arreal: " good idea Roger It's the waiting that's the hardest part. someone come get me in the hot tub if the answers get back please...thx" Himay10ns: " Good idea Rog...I did that earlier today and it really does help to keep reading it over and over. You really have to hang on every word. Just got out of the RR....OMG, the Interrogator beat the crap out of me! Questions, Questions....I'm exhausted!! BTW, congrats on no votes. I have to admit, you've been a great BG. Keep up the good work. So how does it feel to be the object of Xenia's sexual fantasies...her revelation in the Bathroom last night was KILLER!! Voyeurism rules!! Hey, did you notice my Internet Camera convo?? We all have fans....it's sooooo cool!" BATHROOM -- 3:44PM Himay10ns: " Hey Vyk, I saw where you nominated me because you think I stole your cigarettes! I didn't STEAL your cigarettes, I just HID them. You keep throwing your butts in the toilet and I'm tired of unclogging the john. And believe me...I know about clogging a toilet!! hehehe Here's your new challenge.....find your own cigarettes, if you do, you get a trip out of the house to see the next Presidential debate!! Ready, Set, Go!!!!!" CHALLENGE 4 DA -- 3:50pm Himay10ns: " <Waiting on the answers from BigHost and humming the tune to Jeopardy> " |
Sandyc | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 04:10 pm  THE HOT TUB -- 3:55 PM Roger_Ramjet: " Arreal, I saw that you were going to be here--do you mind if I join you for a soak?? Work has gone beyond severe sucking to day. I just checked, and there aren't any answers yet to our (your) questions. You guys are really getting ideas thrown out there!! Great brianstorming sessions!! I've missed so much today since I haven't been able to check in while at work today. Can you fill me in on what's been happening??" Himay10ns: " Hi Roger, I just poured myself a nice scotch on the rocks and I'll join you in the tub. I left you a few messages around the house. You haven't missed much. A lot of our conversation today has centered around the challenge. A few barbs have been thrown, but we haven't had to call in the Coroner." Luke: "Hey everyone... just a note to check your emails... the Interrogator has just spoken!" A RECAP OF THE CHALLENGE 4 QUESTIONS THEY'VE ASKED: Is Jane a human? YES Is Jane using some sort of navigational device--signs, a map, a tech gadget--to help her get to her destination? Is Jane a baby/small child? Is Jane blind? Has Jane been in a building that has been designed similiar to or exactly like the one she is in, in Japan? Does Jane have another human assisting him/her to get to the destination, whom she doesn't have to speak with? They are allowed twenty questions and have asked six and only gotten the answer to the first one. |
Sandyc | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 04:21 pm  CHALLENGE 4 DA -- 4:06PM Roger_Ramjet: " Hello May--good to get here and see you folks! Thanks for feeling I've been a good BG. The only plan I had coming in was to be completely myself, and see where I got with that. <<actually I'm headed to the hot tub, didyou want to join while we wait for answers--I'll keep checking..> <<I admit that after I see the internet cam messages, I try to ignore them as much as possible, and for sure make sure that my actions don't take them into account. While Xenia's fun time took place in the bathroom, I wasn't around, so if it was real life, would not have known anything about it--other than the comments she actually made to me>> Since you actually brought up you had an internet convo, may I ask what it was about?? Would you be willing to tell me as we make our way to the hot tub?? So, how did the interogator beat you up with questions?? I saw thay he asked all of us about banishment--did he have others just for you??? Of course I understand completly if you'd rather not discuss any of that." THE HOT TUB -- 04:08 pm ArReal: "Peaceful out here. Good time to relax and just think. I'm frustrated right now, not getting answers for our challenge, the challenge thread turning inot a bash fest. I don't know, Just going to rable so pardon my spelling and grammar and punctuations errors. I just feel frustrated and bored today. I'm spending alot of time looking at all the fanpages. some of them are really nice. I liked Pickle's and Moon's. Awesome job to whoever did them. I suppose I should say you did an awesome job with Snaves too, but I'm kinda ticked at the guy right now. Hard to find much positive to say. I tried linking from Pickle's sight to mine, but the connection didn't work. lol I thought that was funny. Originally I thot that Xenia was a bit b*tchy, but now the more I am seeing different people in here interact, Wow. I'm just noticing the styles of bitching. Some curse, some, speak sarcastically and some just out right bash, slam and call names. I think I can almost respect Xenia's anger at some of the things that have happened. It would be nice to be able to walk away from the bickering in here, but it's kind of hard when others won't let things rest. It seems like it's become a gang bashing of Xenia. I feel bad about that. I won't say she didn't contribute to it, but it's all getting out of hand. It was surprising to me that Man attacked me the way he didn't. I really didn't think my first post about them ( xenia and man ) was mean or a put down. I did say name calling was childish. Then I got bashed by man. What an eye opener. Then he called me fragile. Wasn't he the one being fragile for bashing me for thinking name calling was childish? I don't know. Just more crap for this pea brain of mine to muddle through. RR post...how does it feel to be up for banishment. Good question. I really don't mind it. Like I told Roger last night, either way, staying or going I see positive things. When he put me on the spot...I said here, staying. Just for the atmoshere and the mental challenges this place could provide. Sure, it's a game...but it's a virtual reality game. Now if it was Stratego or Tetris, look out, I'm all for kicking a$$. lol My brain is working over time right now. I think I should quit thinking thru my fingers and give you all time to rest your eyes. After all, we know how uderly boring I am" She continues with "Hi all....I was kind of prancing around in my thoughts. I don't mind the company at all." (ed note: She's talking to herself by the way) Roger jumps in -- Roger_Ramjet: " Luke--How's it going for you today?? I saw that interrogator sent a message out mid afternoon that appears to ask us all the same question. Did you get that and another just now, or is that the one you mean? May--I'll be sure to look for your messages and get them answered, if your intention was for me to see them. Luke/May--I'm so impressed on how you nad the others have plowed through the challenge! I asked Arreal to join in--I hope you don't mind. You guys are al that I've seen so far since just getting here from.....a nap???? <<real life, work>>" (Ed note: and he's talking to people who aren't there... yet.) |
Sandyc | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 04:28 pm  THE HOT TUB -- 4:14PM Roger and ArReal are now joined Moodance, Luke and May. Luke: " That's the one, Rog... Actually, Mr/Ms Interrogator hasn't been that bad with me... Just pretty much straightforward... Today has been a lot easier for me compared to yesterday. I've been able to dedicate more time to the posts, and to the challenge. I'm afraid that I'm stumped on the challenge, at least until the Host gives us some answers." Arreal: " I was here...just in never never land...lol How you been Roger?" Moondance: " Hey guys ... how is everyone? Luke - Arreal - Roger" Moondance: " Is May here too?" Himay10ns: " Rog, I don't mind discussing the RR. Interrogator just wanted to know how it feels to be banished. I told him I wasn't upset. It's part of the game... Last night, in the chat room, some of the outsiders secretly passed on a fanpage website and when I looked at it, it linked me to 4 more! Amazing all the fans out there. I posted the site in the Internet Camera thread if you care to look. I came in on the tail end of the challenge discussions, apparently I fell into a coma last night and missed most of the good stuff. Just waiting on the answers from BigHost right now." Luke: " Good afternoon Moon... actually, Roger, I could use a nice glass of merlot right about now... I think I'll pour myself some. Anybody care for some wine?" Arreal: " Hi Moon, how are you. I think we are all making good strides on the challenge, just wishing they would hurry up with those answers." |
Sandyc | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 05:13 pm  HOT TUB -- JUST A LITTLE LATER Moondance: " was you day better... luke? you had a rough day yesterday I know ... I think our host is playing with us" Luke: "Totally... even though the weather's dreary where I'm at right now, I've been able to spend more time on the boards... Also talked with my ex-boyfriend last night... we had a good conversation. Our breakup was on good terms." PLAY ROOM REQUEST AREA -- 04:26 pm Xenia: "OH MY GOD Giblets!!!!!! ARE YOU BLIND???? I never refered to you as a "douchebag". Mantastic wrote that in a post directed at me. You are starting to SCARE me." (giblets is her new name for Vyking) HOST APPEARS BRIEFLY and says he will a archive all extra rooms if they all post and say yea. CHALLENGE 4 -- The news comes down that the answer to all the questions but the first one is no. So Luke says "Back to the drawing board." Meanwhile , still in the hot tub Moondance tries to engage Luke in a conversation about his recent break-up "You must feel better about that ... how is he taking the break -up?" Luke: "He's doing well... his schedule is even busier than mine (which contributed to the breakup)... So both of us have more than enough to keep our minds off things... But thanks for asking Moon..." Roger complains about losing a post with lots of thank yous in it; says shit, and is amazed because the word was kept in his post. Moondance goes to the Challenge Discussion Area to reiterate all the questions with their now posted answers. CHALLENGE DISCUSSION AREA -- 4:47 PM Arreal: " I think we can rule out DEAD...it would take assistance to get there...same with wheel chair bound. I think we can assume jane is walking on her own two feet." Roger_Ramjet: " Sorry guys--I did write a post, only to have an error message thrown in my face, then no be able to get back into this for the longest time. I wasn't ingoring anyone, and feel badly about losing that post--a decent amount of information. Oh well, on with the challenge." Arreal: "did she already know where she was going when she got there....a coworker previously told her how to get to the destination? back to the time of day she goth there....perhaps evening, week end, night??? No one around to see or talk to." She then expresses that she is completely baffled. Talisker joins Roger in the Hot Tub for a little relax and glass of wine before settlin into the challenge. Roger says to hell with the glass give him the bottle. Then they have a conversation about being able to say shit. (ed note: Calling from outside... HOST!! I think we need a new discussion topic...!!!) Roger runs to the Challenge DA with a thought: " How about asking something like this to get it narrowed into one of two directions. "Did she know where to go due to one or more of her senses, as opposed to information she obtained"? Cuts the ways we've been bantering about into half??" And he runs back to the Hot tub to tell Tali that everyone is in the challenge area. Luke: "Hey here's a thought... maybe she designed the building... so she already knows how it's supposed to look like..." Then he goes looking for ArReal in the Hot Tub to tell her about a new banner for her "ArREAL, SINCERE APOLOGIES IF I OFFENDED YOU IN LAST NIGHT'S CHAT. I AM BEHIND YOU ALL THE WAY. Norquerdo" (ed note: -- gotta go. Will be back in a few hours) |
Noslonna | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 07:08 pm  5:30 PM Message from BigHost: Board Guests - Mantastic has advised the Host that he is voluntarily withdrawing from The Game. We have decided not to replace Mantastic at this time. Virtual House Bathroom 5:20 PM Vykin: HiMay, I wish I could share with you the nice things I said about you in the RR. All I could do now is retract my nomination of you via the RR. I hope the Big "Eye" doesn't edit what I said. 5:25 PM HiMay: It's OK Vyk! It's up to the viewing public now! If I get banished. Kitchen 5:45 PM Vykin: Deciding to have Roger's soup because he wants a light dinner because he is watching West Wing tonight. Vykin says, "Looks like the women in here are 'can opener chefs', I may have to start fending for myself if I don't want to starve to death." He decides to make pizza buns to go with the soup and gives the recipe. |
Noslonna | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 07:38 pm  Hot Tub 5:30 PM Roger: Tells May he won't check out her site because, "I wouldn't have heard your net cam, so shouldn't know about it." 5:35 PM Vykin: Nice banner Arreal, do you know who Norequerdo is? After Xenia bashing me all day long, I just need a stiff drink. The puzzle is puzzling me. I also want to check out the "Pickle" site. 5:35 PM Luke: No Way! Mantastic withdrew! 5:40 PM Roger: Hopes they get to talk to Mantastic before he leaves. 5:45 PM HiMays: I tried to stop him, but he and ran out. I was afraid to cross the threshold, BH warned "supreme consequences." Vykin: Says in astonished bewilderment, "What? Mantastic withdrew?? He's gone??????? Moondance: We all need to go and vote on the house layout situation! Thanks 5:50 PM Roger: May, are you willing to share the specifics of Affinity and the proposal? 5:55 PM HiMay: Affinity sent the banner asking me to marry him. I accepted in the chat room last night, but I have a suspicion that Moon and Affinity are having a little tryst on the side. I need to be positive that he is "The One". Roger: Huh? What gives you reason to believe that? HiMay: Affinity was flirting with her in the chat and then I heard Moon talking to the internet cam this morning, she was blowing kisses to him. Roger: She is extremely out-going. Not a teasing flirt at all. He asked you, not her. How is your trust level with Aff? 6:30 PM Luke: I'm close to carpal tunnel and If I were to ever get that and not be able to play the piano, I'd die. So I'll catch you all later, you guys rock! Living Room 7:15 PM Roger: That is so weird about Mantastic. I wonder what his reason(s) could be for leaving. I enjoyed his commentary and his style. I really did see him as major competition for me. I have always seen him as well liked and respected. Not a bad way to be looked at. (ed. Roger nominated Man) |
Noslonna | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 09:00 pm  General Discussions The Interrogator 6:05 PM Talisker: The Interrogator is a pretty cool dude! He's still pretty stiff but past that stoic demeanor, it seems like there is a sense of humor buried in him. 6:10 PM Roger: Stiff? Are you being naughty again? LOL! The Improv 6:30 PM HiMays: Gives list her cousin sent her of "Top Ten Times in history when saying F*CK was appropriate." Number One: "Who the f*ck is going to know?" - Bill Clinton The Most Difficult Lesson 6:40 PM Vykin: When he was a kid his Dad got Muscular Dystrophy but his mother would not tell the kids the nature of his illness. His father became debilitated. Life went on. Vykin got married. He was busy with his job and didn't stop to visit as often as he meant to. The year his father died, Vykin was putting a roof on his house. On a visit to his Dad, he gave him some plywood for the roof and said, "Take this, son, you need it to make sure you have a solid roof over your head, you never know what may fall upon you in life." Two weeks later his father was rushed to the hospital and the family was told he would not live long. That was the first time Vykin found out his Dad had Muscular Dystrophy. He was angry at his mom for not telling him. His father spent 3 days in intensive care. Vykin was busy with the roof but visited his dad. He told him, "Go get that taken care of, I'll be fine." Vykin went to finish the roof. It was a Sunday, his mother came to tell him she needed help draw up a Will for his Dad. She asked Vykin to go into work on Monday and get a co-worker with legal experience to draw up the Will. Vykin was angry because he thought his mom should have taken care of that earlier since she knew his Dad was dying. He had planned to take Monday morning off to visit his Dad in the hospital. His mother insisted it needed to be done. Vykin went into work in the morning and got the Will done and arranged to take the week off. He phoned the hospital and told his mom he would be there and in the meantime he sent his wife. The morning at work was hell for him because he wanted badly to be with his Dad and tell him how much he loved him. He never got the chance. After work Vykin sped to the hospital. His Dad died before he got there. Vykin went through an emotional grieving process including anger at leaving the Will to the last minute and the burden of at not saying "I love you" often enough to his Dad. Two years after his Dad died, Vykin's son was born. He wished his Dad was there to see the baby. One night he dreamed of his Dad holding out his arms and asking to hold his grandson. In the dream he saw his Dad holding his son and he felt at peace. Vykin says, "I know my father was 'here.' Lesson he learned: "I Love You" are the most powerful words one human can say to another. Yet they are words that are spoken so little. Most importantly, I taught my son to be comfortable saying, "I Love You" and to know that he is loved. 7:50 PM Moondance: I am crying now. My heart go out to you. It brings back memories about my Father. She says her Dad died of lung cancer when he was only 34 and she was 12. She says she was privileged to get a chance to say her good-byes and it is hard at any age to lose a parent. Moon says, "You never get over it, you just learn your lessons and learn to live with it." She says she also loves hearing about the relationship he has with his son. She thanks Vykin for sharing. 8:25 PM Roger: My toughest choice was deciding if someone you love should be terminated and having to decide in one minute or less. He says he will give details later. 8:30 PM Tallisker: Thanks Vykin for his moving story. She appreciates him sharing what must have been a very painful part of his life. |
Sandyc | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 09:16 pm  Noslonna. I'm here again to post for awhile. Won't be able to help again until Sunday except maybe for little spurts late at night. Today was a day off work. Hopefully someone else will figure out that it's pretty easy if you have time. |
Sandyc | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 09:24 pm  SEXUAL ADVANTAGE DA 8:08 pm Zebulon: " Moondance, that's a tough assessment to make isn't it? There has to be some sort of sexual advantage for men, don't you think? It can't all be one-sided in a balanced universe. " Arreal: " I also agree that women have the ability to bring the act of sex to a different level than men. Women express emotion so much more than men in everyway. We were biologically created that way. This emotion and ability to express it almost gives her control over how much sexual intensity there is in the sex. A passionate, expressive woman can highten a mans experience. I think men have the upper hand over women because they do get aroused more easily. Men are often stimulated by the vision of sight. Women are more often in need of emotional and physical stimulation to be aroused. The topic of impotence, the man who got me the hottest and gave me the most orgasism was an impotent man (dibeties related) The passion in his eyes, his touch was the most arousing thing I'd ever seen. funny how he was still always in the mood. " Vykin: " Women have only one advantage over men. That is, they can give birth to children. Other than that which is a physical issue, women have no advantage over men and vice versa. Women or Men "think" at times they have the advantage, but thats a matter of power struggle. i.e. A woman can try show a man she has an advantage over him; A man can try show a woman he has advantage over her. The reality is, you are only disadvantaged if you allow yourself to be." Moondance: " I am determined to find it, Zeb! It's only fair!" |
Sandyc | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 09:37 pm  THE MOST DIFFICULT LESSON DA 09:03 pm Zebulan: "Thanks for sharing that very personal story Vykin. It really meant a lot to me. My parents are somewhat older. I was what's called a "change of life baby". My parents were in their mid 40s when I was born and my youngest sister is 12 years older than I am. There's always been that huge generation gap between me and my parents. In some cases it was hard to talk to them and be open about certain things, especially my dad. In 1994, I was fortunate enough to meet a special man through my business who became a mentor and a great friend over the next few years. We hit it off right from the beginning. He was 60 and a retired vice president of a major company. Also, he lived like a block and a half away from me so I would make visits to talk to him. He was someone I felt I could talk to about anything and understood me and my situations. He eventually became like a second dad to me and I found myself spending more time talking to him than my own dad. In the middle of May of 1998, he developed what we thought was a minor case of pneumonia and was placed on medication. By June, he had been entered into the hospital and diagnosed with lung cancer. On July 18,1998 after a 2 week stay, 1 week at home, 2 weeks in the hospital again, and another week at home...he passed away. I last saw him that Thurs and he passed away on Sat. I couldn't believe what had happened in just 2 months and I was devastated. It's terrible to say, but it was a more devastating loss to me than losing my grandparents. I think it was because I felt he had taught me so much. I filled in some the blanks in his life and he filled in the blanks in mine. It still hurts today when I think about it. My dad is 78. I will be 32 this year so you can see the age gap. Your story above just reaffirmed to me that I need to spend more time with my dad before something happens to him. I sincerely thank you, Vykin, and I wish you peace in your heart." Xenia: " My most difficult lesson has been to learn to live in the moment and not focus on or obsess about outcomes." |
Sandyc | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 09:55 pm  Discussion in the Challenge 4 area has slowed. They are trying to decide who should be leader and waiting for answers which they fear they may not get until tomorrow. They mostly all adjourned to the Hot Tub HOT TUB -- 9:30 pm Zebulon: " <steps in the warm hot tub> I guess I have this all to myself. Is anyone around?" Arreal: " howdy Zeb, can I join you?" Roger_Ramjet: " Zeb, I'm around. just bouncing around seeing who's active. How is the evening going?? How's your stay in the house so far??" Arreal: " I got tired of waiting around the puzzle for the answer, which I doubt will come tonight. time to relax awhile" Moondance: " Hi Zeb & Arreal ... the two I have been looking for!" Arreal: " Bounce my way baby." Moondance: " Will you guys go to the suggestion folder and check it out ... it's under requests ... the host said he would consolidate the house if we ALL agree... Anyway, you two are the only ones that haven't checked in yet. Thank you!!!!" Roger_Ramjet: " I feel a private covo coming on?? Would you guys like me to come back a little later?? There are a couple of things I can go take care of." Arreal: " Hi Moon, how are you? You did great on the challenge today." Moondance: " I have been going since early this morning here so I am going to turn in ... You guys have a great night! Sweet dreams..." Arreal: " Wednesday, Roger...that bounce my way was for you silly." Moondance: " I am sorry ... my computer is slow and I didn't see your posts.... {{{Arreal}}} Hugs to you Roger, Zeb You guys were great on the challenge... I think we got another one!" Arreal: " Nighters Moon....sleep well." Roger_Ramjet: " Timing on posts! LOL--I was concerned Moon wanted to talk to just you...if so, I didn't want to hold her back. Better to ask than assume!! Arreal--I'm bouncing!! Moon, have a great night!! All of you guys were fantastic on the challenge, along with a number of others--credits to come soon enough so all can stand up and give a wave. Celebrate success!!!" |
Sandyc | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 10:04 pm  MOST DIFFICULT LESSON -- 9:39PM Vykin: " Zeb, Talis, Roger, Moon thank you, I do apologize for the length. Moon something in your topic just drew me instantly. I will say, that what I wrote is a real story, and in all the time I have been online 7 going on 8 years, I am closely guarded about myself. However, this particular "sharing" if you will, I felt I needed to share and is the most personal thing I've revealed about myself in 8 years talking on computers. So.. there must be good in this Game. I am loving the stories people have shared, such as arreal and all of you. I also love the humor!!!! Roger I am really looking forward to your lesson learned. Zeb your story is equally as moving. Rog thanx I forgot the singers name." Vykin then stops into ArReal's MP thread: "Thank you arreal. What is hypnosis like? " Arreal: " It was weird. When I was hypnotized she brought on of the others out. They would talk and think...under hypnosis I was aware of the others. I got to know them. It was cool. When she hypnotized the Baby to come out...I had an aberaction. My body reacted like the babies did while going thru the abusive situation. I was able to hear and feel it. It was weird, interesting. I feared learning the memories, but it aided in my healing." Vykin then goes to his lawsuit area (he's suing big H) and tells us that "Court is tomorrow." |
Sandyc | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 10:22 pm  Roger and ArReal in the HOT TUB -- 9:53PM Arreal: " lol Roger. How was your day?" Roger_Ramjet: " It sucked...it really sucked. Had a post that explained it all earlier when I first got in the hot tub, although as I posted....well you can guess the rest. Oh well, shit happens, and I'll get over it! Well, I'll get over the day, not how it can happen. lol Hey, I'm going to get a couple of beers for myself-what can I get you Zeb?? Arreal?? What did you guys think about Mantasic taking a powder?? Did he talk to either one of you about it, or leave any notes?? What a bummer having him leave!" Moondance to the INTERNET CAMERAS: "Good Night Everyone Things started out shaky today but it is definitely better! Thanks to all out there! I think I am talked out tonight Sweet Dreams!" HOT TUB -- 10:08 pm Arreal: " Sorry to hear about your day, always sucks when that happens. I think Zeb is sleeping...lol I don't believe anyone had a clue about Man leaving. He spoke about being bored, then there was a bit of a fight and that was the last we heard from him. Weird. After today I would seriously have to disagree with him leaving being a bummer. It was frustrating for me to be attacked and to see him and Vyk attack Xenia. I didn't like it." Roger_Ramjet: " Thanks Arreal. Zeb, you awake man?? Too bad about Mantastic. He has a silver pen--I will miss it. I hope no one else walks. Xenia has seemed frustrated at times...she seems reactionary a bit. Not bad or good as far as saying anythig about it as a trait. Advantages and disadvantages to just about everything. She seemed like she wasn't confident in her ability on the 20 question challenge, although it looked like she did great and had some good ideas today. You guys really added to things as well. VERY impressive! Got any twinges about Friday night yet?" What did he say/do that was attacking. I wasn't around for everything (big house) so probbaly missed a lot of interactions. No net feeds like on the outside! lol And what's this with Xenia being attacked? What was that in relation to?? Not defending or anything--just not aware of all that happened, and looking for an education." |
Noslonna | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 10:22 pm  Topic # 4 - Sexual Advantages New Topic assigned by BH: What is the greatest sexual advantage women have over men... and vice versa? Feel free to demonstrate, if you'd like. 5:55 PM Roger: Sexual advantage of women over men, in general is men are owned by "it" and women know "it". Men will give money and gifts to get it and will leave a loving relationship for it. 6:45 PM Moondance: She embraces the differences between men and women. She feels as a woman, sex is more of an emotional bond. In general she feels men have an easier time to draw the line between sex and emotions. Moon says women, including herself, are at an advantage because they can have multiple orgasms and go back for more in minutes but she thinks men in general have one to three orgasms in a session and they are spent. Moon says, "I have met some that were capable of more but this is rare. (I would love to be proved wrong.)" 7:35 PM Zebulon: The greatest sexual advantage women have over men is the intensity of their emotion. When a woman takes that emotion and applies it in a sexual relationship she creates mutual passion and has the ability to manipulate a man's whole being, willingly so. Zebulon thinks men should men should read some sexual self-help books. He names a few book titles. Other then that, Zebulon thinks the greatest sexual advantage a man has over a woman is probably the ability to be in a state of perpetual arousal. He laughs out loud. Zeb says he is open to the insight of what the women say is a man's sexual advantage. 7:35 PM Talisker: She doesn’t know if one sex has an advantage over but she thinks the pressure is more on the man to "perform." She says, "A limp dick pretty much ends the party." Talisker thinks maybe women do have an advantage because even if they're not really in the mood, they're still able to let their partner have a good time. She qualifies the last statement as depending on the depth of the relationship. Talisker flirts with Roger, "Men over Women, is that how you prefer it?" 7:45 PM Roger: Tali, No, I don't prefer man over woman. Prefer the woman on top. Talisker: Roger, I was just teasing, couldn't resist! 7:50 PM Zebulon: Laughs at Talisker's "limp dick" comment but I think a man can do a lot of things to keep a woman aroused and still "in the party". Zebulon adds, "There's more a man can do with his penis to arouse her than just shoving it in, to put it bluntly." 7:55 PM Moondance: "Zeb, the advantage is a disadvantage also! It is all right to draw the line of emotion and sex sometimes but I feel it is more of a disadvantage most of the time." 8:00 PM Talisker: Zeb, I agree there are plenty of other things a man can do. What I meant was sometimes the stress of not being able to have an erection will cause him to get even more stressed out and this can carry over to the next time. Talisker says men put pressure on themselves and maybe that gives them a disadvantage. In her experiences, if a woman doesn't get pleasure from sex, men blame themselves. She says it isn't their fault but they feel like it is. It is in that respect she feels it is a disadvantage for men. 8:15 PM Zebulon: Talisker, I get your point. Moondance, that's a tough assessment to make. There has to be some sexual advantage for men, don't you think? Moondance: I am determined to find it, Zeb! Arreal: Women express emotion so much more. We were biologically created that way. This emotion and ability to express it gives her control over how much sexual intensity there is in sex. A passionate woman can heighten a man's experience. Men have the upper hand over women because they get aroused more easily. The man who got me the hottest and gave me the most orgasms was an impotent man. 8:55 PM Vykin: Women only have one advantage over men. They can give birth to children. Other than that, women have no advantage over men and vice versa. Women or men may think they have the advantage but that's a power struggle. You are only disadvantaged if you allow yourself to be. |
Noslonna | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 10:25 pm  Sandy I forgot to refresh before I posted. Sorry if it is the same as you covered. Thanks for taking over. |
Sandyc | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 10:28 pm  No prob. Hard to tell who's here and who's not. I'll carry on for awhile. |
Sandyc | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 10:39 pm  HOT TUB --10:22 pm Arreal: " Nope, still not any. I'm still feeling comfortable either way. How about you? what are your feelings about banishment day? I think the challenge thing was a total group effort. We all did good. And I feel good that I got to participate this time. From my memory, which is very likely biased at this point,... We were working on the challenge and Man came in to have a look around and commented he was bored and wanted a interesting topic. He said he wasn't enjoying being here in so many words. Xenia responded if he wasn't happy here go ahead and f*cking leave. She said is wan't up to us to entertain him and he could go start his own darn topic of discussion." Xenia: " Hey guys sorry for interupting again... I just want to express a few thoughts to you guys, is that OK?" Roger: Man said refered to me as: "a homely-looking frigid douchebag with the temperament of a car alarm." " Arreal: "He responded with sarcasm towards her then proceeded to call her a douchebag and yadda yadda yadda. I got frustrated and said she wasn't verbal attacking him by using a few cuss words. It didn't make him any better than her to attack back. I also said that I thought name calling was childish. I also asked them to take the fight somewhere other than the Challenge thread. Then he(Man) started in on me and Vyk joined in bashing Xenia." Xenia: " Arreal what actually happened was: Man wrote: "damn i hate riddles. sorry--i can't be of help on this. i'm just not into it. i'll be lurking around until something interesting comes up. i thought yesterday's discussions were more fun. but i'm just not feeling the whole 'virtual house' thing. " And I wrote: "Mantastic: Then why don't you just f-cking quit right now? Let yourself off the hook and save us the effort of having to read your self-absorbed posts. We're not here to entertain or appease you, for Godsake." " Roger_Ramjet: " I look at it as part of the game (like nominations are, although I won't be happy to see any of us walk away. Does that make sense at all?? I remember you anted to participate more last time--it's timing sometimes (or always) being available when others are junping in. One disadvantage about not really being stuck in the house. Then you have no choice!! LOL No comments about the fights going on?? Boy am I missing something <<well, I'm not supposed to know about them>> I have a great one for those group challenges we are doing. I went through it many years ago--when I was in the Army and stationed in Colorado. I did it without anyone else being involved..not by request--just worked out that way with the guy that ptroctored it. Was your day ok?? Hey, in here we still have to pay our own bills! LOL " |
