Paul, you are definitely a storyteller .... and quite a dreamer too!
I started reading from the top, got halfway down the first story, and have now printed it all out so I can read it on the subway going home!  Maybe I won't fall asleep as I usually do!!

What's up for Chapter 3 (or is it 4 - I lost track of the stories as I scrolled down) ??

Hope you're feeling ok now!
Elaine

Thanks Elliemae! Here's another one for you.

I've had amazing dream and psychic experiences since childhood. I've written many down and will post them on this thread for those who enjoy them!

Man!...I wish I had dreams so vivid. I thought mine of the last 5 years were colorful...they are just drips of paint on the sidewalk to your fireworks in the night sky.

BTW...I always thought "Hold Me Now" was a great top down ride to the beach song.

Hi Guys and Gals,


Toss your newspapers back over the fence and out into the streets at sunrise!  Wrapped paper sandwiches choked with black and white death......deserve to be beaten in the roads, run-over by motorcades.

Newspaper writing isn't terse and lively!  The world has gone mechanical forcing dry facts of columns down our throats, like spaghetti.

Open your heart and mind; drift into the world of bliss---captivated as, Paul has sincere Art, "stark realism" that can pull you into a trance which "is" the honest world.

Maybe we all share an Acoustic Neuroma tumor on this forum however, please applaud CrazyCat for taking you away from drama we are told is "real," into a phenomenon, another place and time of "reality---much preferred."
 
Thank-you Paul Catania for sharing with all of us, your profound "gift!"




With respect to all,



Palace

you think Paul's stories are great... you should see his head MRI upclose and personal! Now THAT is impressive! :D


Paul, stop getting cooties, ok? I'm not going to let you back in my car if you keep getting sick... got it bucko? :)

Hugz to MissJody too!

Okay, I'll bite.  Just what is so impressive about Paul's MRI?  Isn't his head basically the same inside as all the rest of ours?

It's been confirmed - more than once, now - that I have a brain  ;)  What does Paul have that can top that?

Any MRI pictures you'd like to share, Paul?

BTW, very interesting stories.

Okay....You asked for it!

I tried to link the scans here from an earlier post buried in my archive but couldn't find it for some reason. I hope the pictures are still posted on the web site that the forum links up with.

This may or may not work.....
