Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 There are a surprising number of members who went through that process, though by no means all. I think I'm one of them. Don't flatter yourself. Sometimes the process takes longer than others. —Alorael, who looked back on his old posts, and he means ancient, and realizes that he's really the same person now as he was then.

Well-Actually War Trall In Half Now Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) New forums look cool so far. Would love to find somewhere to adjust the amount of posts it shows on one page, but the most imporatnt thing is actually avatars. Must find out size limitations. How else will I know what to make them? It says max size is 200, but that gets shrunk. In profile it's showing 138, but that can be different beside actual posts, so... Unless there is a forum specific faq somewhere that I've missed where these things are readily spelled out. ed: aha, okay, yeah, max size for next to posts is 90. That's cool. It's not so bad, because it doesn't stretch smaller images bigger like some sites do. Edited October 26, 2012 by In Half Now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I think it's reasonable to consider the self more seated in neural cells than in skin and guts and bones. Your brain doesn't turn over that fast. (Yes, yes, there's plenty of neural plasticity, synapses change, receptors and neurotransmitters can be up- and down-regulated, as the person reading over my shoulder says. Are you happy now?) —Alorael, who makes sure to do his thinking with epithelial cells to maintain sufficient plasticity of thinking. He goes by his most superficial gut feelings.

Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Rainbow Bridge, etc. The cat I had had since childhood, KitKat, died April 2, 2010, the very same night my fiancée's adoptive brother, Danny, died from cancer. Although I'm an atheist I consoled myself with the notion that they died together so they could keep each other company on the journey to some sort of pleasant afterlife. Sometimes I still miss KitKat, but fairly often, when I go to sleep at night, I have wonderful dreams that KitKat has come back to play with me for the night. I treasure these dreams. I guess what I'm saying is kind of clichéd, but still, if you keep fond memories of your departed loved one, you don't ever really need to lose them. As I said, I'm an atheist. I don't believe in any afterlife, but I don't discount it either. I live my life as though it is the only one I get, and if there's an afterlife after all I'll worry about it when I'm dead. But if it turns out to be the case, maybe Missy will be waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge. Harehunter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Mosquito---Slayer Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Your dog, brought back memories of one of my own, he was not exactly mine, but he used to come to me every morning and evening at a fixed time for food and I really spent some happy moments with him, he used to look almost exactly like yours, unfortunately a mad street dog bit him and he got infected with rabies and had to be put down .
