Lært hjelpesløshet. Taught helplessness. I have seen it in the disability community before, and that was one of the reasons why can't work in that movement any longer. But a person with disabilities has anyway more reason to become like that. Not a 30 year old healthy, clever guy whos only disabilites are his vanity and pride. Anyway. He got dismissed from the course due to threatening and bad behaviour. So on Monday we'll have Kumbaya my Lord and I will give out stickers for good effort to everyone. Feels abit strange to say that. Some are older than me.....

I'm in Houston. I've gotten some PMs here asking if I was okay. I just wanted y'all to know that I am doing fine. I feel better personally but I'm in pain for all the people here. I came with my church for the long weekend. We are making hots meals, donated things the church helped gather, and going around praying for people. There are so many people out of their homes but there are a lot of organizations here helping. God is good.
Gary,
You're a good-looking guy, so I hope you won't be offended because my feedback is about the expressions and moving pictures, and not the image of you itself.
Your avatar reminds me of two things:
1. The "wide-eyed" expression, to me looks exactly like Dustin Diamond ("Screech") from "Saved By The Bell."
And,
2. With it being close to Halloween, the "shifting expressions" remind me of those Halloween "old-fashioned" "portraits" of people from the 1900's... but as you walk around the picture, it "shifts" into a version of themselves that looks like a bat out of hell, usually with red eyes, fangs, and claws.
Whenever I see your picture "shift", I'm expecting to see something like that--only because of the flashing between the pictures, not because of the picture of you itself.
Just my own little 2 cents, and no worries.
A lot of people say MY avatar is creepy, but I rather like it, so I've chosen to keep it for a while.

One day I decided to see if I could come up with a good-enough picture to use as an avatar. I placed a chair next to a wall, with my digital camera on a tripod out in front of it. I set the camera in auto-shoot mode to take 10 shots at a 1 second interval. I took 4 or 5 sets of 10 pictures. For one of the sets, I decided to make faces at the camera. That is where the "funny" shot came from. The other shot ( the main one ) is from a different set of 10 pictures - where I was trying too hard to get a good picture. ( I was doing that for all of them, really. )
Those two shots were the "best" two shots of the whole bunch.
So -- I thought I would put them together in a GIF -- just for amusement.
I hope everyone finds it amusing...

I've earned a rest. The complete draft of my first journal article has been submitted for initial review, I've completed all the online "Human Subjects Research Training" that I was asked to complete, and all my chores are caught up. It's time for a break. I'm going to go sear off a couple lamb shanks for tomorrow night's supper and then I'm going to sit on my duff and do a whole lot of nothing. It's going to be awesome.

Gary,
You're a good-looking guy, { "That is nice to hear --- thank you, dear..." ( I don't hear that very often. ) } so I hope you won't be offended { Don't be silly. Of course not. } because my feedback is about the expressions and moving pictures, and not the image of you itself.
Your avatar reminds me of two things:
1. The "wide-eyed" expression, to me looks exactly like Dustin Diamond ("Screech") from "Saved By The Bell."
{ Well, that was kinda-sorta the expression I was going for at the time, I think. }
And,
2. With it being close to Halloween, the "shifting expressions" remind me of those Halloween "old-fashioned" "portraits" of people from the 1900's... but as you walk around the picture, it "shifts" into a version of themselves that looks like a bat out of hell, usually with red eyes, fangs, and claws. { Yeah - I remember those. The early holographic "experiments"... ( ) }

A lot of people say MY avatar is creepy, { ---- ( Nooo, I'm just kidding. ) } but I rather like it, so I've chosen to keep it for a while. { Yes, I recall that you have displayed it as your avatar since October last year. }

People on here sometimes seem to think that I am nothing-but-serious-all-the-time. This is, in part, an effort to allay that notion...
