*Whispers in your ear*

Thanks, but despite the verbosity and volume of words I wrote back there, it was actually the least data dense bit of communication that I have involved myself with for some time, aside from an incident involving me trying to vocally communicate with a small dog outside my work yesterday. I am pretty sure that no data was exchanged. There is a point one reaches in ones life, where one realises that the look of utter befuddlement and derision on a dogs face says something rather deep about the state of your own intellect. In fact, now that I think about it, I am pretty certain that the dog was the better communicator!

But I love you too, because you appreciate the madness!

It's great to hear different people's stories, that's why!

Cookies... it was the damn cookies.

The dark side always has cookies.



... it's how they get you every time.

I googled something about the Moon landing hoax.

I clicked onto a comment on an ATS thread, not knowing it was ATS or what ATS was.

Happy accident; I'd been looking for a discussion forum ever since the last one I joined became defunct (on the website of a certain well-known British tabloid).

Not into conspiracy theories particularly, just the art of rational debate.

Well, okay then, that totally satisfies my curiosity.

How did I find out about ATS? Well, I am a huge fan of greys and blacks and I heard that ATS was rocking a nice charcoal website. I was totally thrilled because it completely matched my blog. There was a bit of a scare though when I logged in one day to find that the website had been altered to pale gray (okay, I guess) and white (egads!). Luckily, it turned out that I could switch it back to happy charcoals by a click of a button. Phew, it was a close one.

PS. It totally looks rad with my warm glowy avatar, too. See?? Neat!

searched for john titor stories and one of the search results was an ATS thread.
i visited for a while before signing up. been a fun ride.

My niece, Smyleegrl, invited me to join and share my paranormal experiences, so I did.

My paranormal thread was my first one over 2.5 years ago, and is still going strong with almost 290 pages of members sharing their personal experiences. Guess paranormal incidents don't stop.

I have used my thread to help others who may have experiences they would like to discuss with "like-minded" people, where they may find answers from others, and know they aren't alone.
Believe me, it makes a person feel better knowing they aren't the only one to have a certain kind of experience. It's great therapy to discuss it openly and without fear of ridicule. I think that's why my thread has been such a big success.

I was sitting there watching an early episode of the TV show "House", when the lights went out. Before I could even react I heard the sound of a window shattering...

The room filled with some sort of gas and I quickly lost consciousness.

At some point later I awoke, chained to a desk... this desk... in a bunker somewhere. I think that it is underground, but I cannot tell for sure.

Upon the desk sat a computer monitor, a keyboard, a mouse and a note that read "POST TO ATS NOW"

Over time I discovered that if I posted to ATS, a small gap in the door would open and food would be shoved through. The more I typed, the better the food.

That was years ago. Now I've earned myself a longer chain AND a cot to sleep on. Don't let anyone tell you that hard work does not pay off in America ( I assume I am in America.....)
