Thanks Methos! I really hope I can keep this up as I'd love to have LDing be a regular part of my life again, rather than just being an intense fascination/obsession for a few weeks and then waning as I burn out (which has happened several times already). I just started reading through LaBerge's ETWOLD for the first time. I think it might be a good idea to shy away from my "jack of all trades" approach (i.e. learn all the techniques, then throw them at the wall to see which sticks) and sit down for a longer period of time where I try to really understand one of these techniques, i.e. MILD.

For the WBTB problem, the fact that my dog sleeps next to me and his comfort level is inversely proprtional to mine probably has a lot to do with it. Next time he sticks his paws in my back while I'm actively trying to LD I think I'll just politely drop him next to my fiance.

I'm usually pretty good about keeping a DJ, mostly in keywords, but from now on I'm going to try and record all of my LDs and SLs on this site as it's just more fun to share these experiences with other people who are just as interested in the process as I am. And in the future when my consistency is up, I'd love to do some of the challenges/games to get more involved with the site.

Anyways sorry for the rambling. Cheers!
