I have a time machine in the garage which only allows me to bring back vintage toys and nothing else...

Damn, I knew it!

[Saroyan]

This is a great thread!!!

On the deja-vu thing- I have always thought deja-vu was that weird "feeling" that I had seen or experienced whatever the situation was before. That being different than clearly recalling a dream as well as waking up and having a thought regarding the dream- in my case that it was an odd thing to dream about.

I have had just two other dreams that I recognized in the moment they occurred in reality- one was driving to an airport in New Mexico - When the dream came back to me it also included the "lost" feeling as we had taken a wrong turn going through a town. The other was just a glimpse out at the room during a funeral reception.

I do wish there was more significance to the moments I have dreamed- but they were actually just everyday moments of life- haven't yet dreamed those winning powerball numbers.

I watch very little TV. I haven't regularly followed a network or cable TV series since probably the late 80s early 90s. Shows about duck dynasties, serial killers or people making meth are completely out of my range of interest.

I've never drank, smoked or done drugs.

I generally dislike 60s hippie music. I find it really irritating.

I don't care for mimes or game show hosts.

Not sure how much will "shock" people but here goes.

1) I don't drink. While I was at a party in my twenties I learned alcohol only affects me halfway. I get the physical effects (loss of eqilibrium) but none of the mental effects. I'll never forget it. I got out off the couch could hardly stand but didn't get the happy buzz. I just thought "I can't walk, this sucks".

2)Haven't had a steady girlfriend since 1998 and I'm largely uninterested in finding ione. It's less stereotype than and more me not wanting to give up who I am. So I'll try now and again but my refusal to give things up I love usually spells doom sooner or later. It's crazy to me because I'm perfectly willing to love someone "as is" but it seems impossible from the other end.

3)Despite the above I'm NOT anti-marriage or relationships. Anyone who can fins that special someone I have nothing but happiness for. Just hasn't worked out for me and I'm OK with that.

4)When I've tried it, I don't like the taste of beer.

5)I share my childhood home with my parents. Being single owning a house is too expensive and an apartment is too small. So I help out with the bills and have three rooms in the house, a home office, a living area, and an unfinished part of the basement where I store my many boxes of comics and old magazines. Not ideal but better than shuttling back and forth because my folks need me. I loathe it when people think I "live at home". To me that means you are paying nothing and not much in or of the house is yours. Definitely not the scenario I just described.

6) Despite only a semester and a half of college my day job is inventory control analyst (really untitled Inventory control manager at this point) for a large wine distributor. How? My real world experience was enough to get my in the door as an IC admin and my being good with computers and general problem solving helped me succeed and eventually get promoted.

7) I hate eggs. Similar to what people have said about some other items even the smell disgusts me.
