Great that the girls were fine. I was thinking about that.
Yeah, I was thinking that they're at a good age for accepting weirdness if everyone is cool about it. I spent about five weeks in a hotel in Brooklyn (trial in the Eastern District) when my two were about the same age, and they took it completely in stride.
I've been told I acquitted myself quite well, thank you very much.
Were you acquitted, LB?
She was one of the stars of the show. I got to see a famous (among lawyers) civil litigator come to LizardBreath to get her advice.
And just like I said, that tie he was wearing really didn't suit him.
Bah, false modesty, LB--you know you were brilliant.

It's bad form to praise yourself--even obliquely--in the third person, Ideal.

Alas, I am in no danger of ever being a famous litigator. But the guy to whom I am referring is. He left our trial to go try a case where, IIRC, the amount at stake was in the tens, maybe hundreds, of billions of dollars.
I have to regulate my autonomic process, i.e. consciously decide to breathe each time. This produces more of a suffocating panic.
What's up with that? That happens to me sometimes if I'm a little stuffed up, and I'm trying to go to sleep, and I consciously try to breathe normally, but then I'm concentrating on it too much and then I get the suffocating panic.
Glad to hear you're doing well, alameida.
I've had that happen too -- what works for me is to stop breathing: if I can't breathe without making a conscious effort, I just won't make the effort. Then after about thirty seconds I start gasping for air and that seems to reset matters.

Is he Tom Cruise (in The Firm)?
The morning's not yet over, Smasher. There's still time left to eat your Wheaties.
Sometimes it backfires and I start to feel that I have to regulate my autonomic process, i.e. consciously decide to breathe each time. This produces more of a suffocating panic.
I thought I was the only one who had this problem. I cannot ever focus on my breathing without inducing panic. When I took yoga I just didn't bother with any of the breathing stuff.
And meditation exercises where you're supposed to clear your mind? Makes me panicky too.

You are lazy.

Buffy and Kit Kats? Your rehab sounds like my rehab, if you replace "Buffy" with "Alias" and "Kit Kats" with "sitting on a yoga ball."
What did you eat sitting on a yoga ball?
Three square meals a day. Is that not normal?
I've done it again. Will somebody call it?
Pool? Pool? This thread is dead and all you can do is talk about pool? You have the sensitivity of roadkill, w-lfs-n.
