So a dead body in Ohio was thought to be a Halloween decoration.

I can't tell if I'm more disturbed by the fact people just assumed it was a Halloween decoration or prank, or the fact that I know this isn't the first time dead bodies have been mistaken for Halloween decorations.

I have been told this is a good place to get the word out about things happening around the county.

I've recently moved here to run a small but lovely art gallery and we're having our grand re-opening at the end of the month. I'll be posting more details up here soon.

I'm also going to be teaching a few art appreciation and art history classes at some of the local colleges so I hope to get to know some of you better through those if you attend.

Hello, everyone my name is Christie McCawley, and I'm new to this network but not to the area. Hopefully your Tuesday isn't that bad, or at least better than Monday. I'm hoping that mine is better, since it was one of those days when Murphy's Law reared its ugly head. It's okay, I'm trying to go at today with a positive attitude and if that doesn't help I'm going to curl up in bed once it's over with and watch puppy videos.

With that, I'll leave you one of my favorite puppy videos.

I seem to have caught a rare moment of free time today, now that I've settled in a bit more between moving over seas and getting settled in at work. I was told I ought to check out this site as social media is quite popular these days. My name is John Watson. I just moved here from London, and uh..I like wasting time on the net?

I spent most of the night dreaming of being held hostage. First by smugglers who thought I was someone else, then by a completely deranged man who had me strapped to a vest of explosives. I'll give this to my dream life, it's really never boring.

I've grown quite fond of it.

It seems I have been having both recurring dreams and newer ones of my time in Wakanda and elsewhere. I do envy my dream self - he seems to have an amazing intellect and aptitude for physics and other sciences I could never hope to understand in this life.

Still one element of these dreams seem to stand out: Ororo - a remarkable woman I meet in Wakanda; she is incredibly lovely, with dark skin like mine, and shockingly white hair and a poise like no other woman I have met. She also seems to possess the ability to control the weather. We shared our first kiss and apparently lightning struck the tree above us.

I don't know what she is - a goddess perhaps?

Someone in the office shared this commercial the Royal Dutch Guide Dog Foundation made with us today during a presentation as we were talking strategy, so I thought I'd share it here.

The veteran in the commercial could easily be me, when I first got back stateside, and the dog resembles Lucky more than a little.

If any of you out there love dogs, or love a veteran, and are willing to become trainers for guide dogs, let me know. Our partner organizations are always looking for volunteers, because there are never enough dogs or dogs in training for everyone who needs one.

Alright, so I've been bored being bed-ridden, so I'm recruiting the internet in keeping me entertained.

I'm going to ask some questions, people should just... respond?

Uhm, ahem... what's your favorite color, and why?

What's your favorite movie, and why?

Favorite TV show, and why?

And what's your dream house/car/vacation?

Super dumb and generic, but I figured I should entertain myself somehow... right?

This is for anyone else who has planned a wedding. Did you do it on your own or did you hire someone? Caspian and I still need to set a date, but aside from that, I'm not really sure how to go about planning. I'd love some advice from others who have planned a wedding before.

This seems to be the place to talk about odd dreams. Granted, what you all dream is ... A bit more involved than this. But the oddity of it struck me anyway. Or, well, the familiarity.

I dreamt about my life before the war, and it wasn't all that inaccurate, and even then the war events weren't far off. But as I'm working on packing up to move into my flat this coming weekend, it was the dreams involving post-war life that I found funny.

I guess it's not really all that peculiar to dream of people you've met. Typing all this out has made me realize I've maybe jumped the gun a bit. But it was all so vivid.

I really loathe having to go into electronics stores. First of all, they try to get me to buy the latest gaming system, which I have utterly no interest in whatsoever. Because I'm of that age, I suppose, where I'm meant to be interested in video games.

I only go in there for parts, honestly. No, I don't want the warranty, I'm going to take it apart anyway. No, I don't want this or that option and yes I absolutely promise this is what I want to buy, not whatever you're getting commission for this month. The OS I run probably isn't compatible with whatever you're trying to foist on me.

I'm this close to laminating my doctorate in Computer Science to keep in my wallet, so I can wave it at people when they try to convince me that I really honestly need this completely unnecessary accessory for my computer. I can't get two feet into the store without being swarmed by people in blue polos asking if I need help.

I don't. I really don't. Kindly sod off.

So this is America, then, is it? Honestly, I can't say I'm much surprised. It's more or less how I pictured it, well, maybe with a bit more snow for California but there was that whole vortex thing last year, yes?

Anyway, I heard someone at the university mention this and figured I'm rather old hat at the blog thing, why not give a network a go. It's meant to be a good way to meet people. I'm John, John Watson. Dr John Watson, if we're being proper. I've come from the UK to teach at the University of California, in Irvine, in surgery. I used to be in the military back over there - the UK - but now I teach. I am just a teacher.

Ugh, I've been feeling a little run down this past week or so. I'm almost afraid that it's some sort of bug that's been going around. I thought working in a law firm would make it so I don't get sick as often since there's not as many people in our office. May be time to grab some extra vitamin c tablets.

So, thanks to being tired I took a few naps over the past couple days and apparently that's all I needed to jump back into my dreams. The winds are changing in my dream universe and I can't say I'm very pleased with how things are going. Apparently a pregnant Senator doesn't do as much as a non-pregnant Queen because I spend so much time just going to Senate meetings and I almost miss being out in the battle field, which is a weird thing to say. I don't want to keep having these dreams because I don't want the ending to come

I am such a sucker for those ghost hunting shows. They're so lame, especially when they think they're making out what those EVPs are saying. "I'm hearing 'get out'." WHAT IF THE GHOST SAID "BACON"? WHAT IF THEY MISS BACON? I know I would if I was a ghost.

Very worried about international events. I had family who lived in Sevastopol for many years, but both Aunt and Uncle passed away in 2004. Seeing the newspapers makes me think of them constantly.

Please, I ask you, do not give in to propaganda images. There are Russians who hate and fear Putin, and want only peace. The Soviet Union is gone, and he must realize it.

Is there a bakery in town? I feel a sudden need to indulge in something chocolate and absurdly caloric.

Hi everyone! I'm Charlotte. Chuck. Whatever you want to call me, I don't mind (as long as it's Charlotte or Chuck, I mean, let's not try and get creative). I just moved here a month or so ago - how about that volcano, huh? It was so cool scary. Glad it's done, though.

I've been so busy getting into work that I haven't really had any time to see what's all out there in Orange County, or meet any people my own age, and someone mentioned they heard about this network, so here I am. :) So. What's all there out in there in Orange County? Besides Disney - which I really want to check out sometime.

I was cleaning out my bedside table, and I found this... thing. I think it came from the dreams. I'm not sure what to do with it.

If I get rid of it, will it come back? Like a bad penny?

My head aches haven't slept in days because I am afraid of what

I think the dreams everyone's talking about are nothing more than mass hysteria, and quiet self-aggrandizing, if I'm being totally honest. No, if I'm being totally honest, I say they are a self-serving, cyclical delusion. Pathetic. Superheros? Vampires? Improbably accurate super-sleuths? Rubbish.

Why am I ranting here?
Then again, who else could I...?
I not only talk to myself, but I type to myself.
Enough.

This is going to sound strange considering the source, but men really are babies about being ill. I did my shift in the ER helping out, and in a ten hour shift, I had fifteen men come in with headcolds. Headcolds aren't really an emergency. They're not usually something to see the doctor about. Tea and bedrest, and soldier on, my friends. But hey, it's your insurance deductible, who am I to judge?

I accidentally made a third place setting at our table on Christmas. John and I were having a nice meal--he cooked, I watched--and I found myself putting three plates out. Without even thinking about it, and accidentally. I didn't understand why.

Then I dreamed last night. In my dreams, living with my dream-husband, I made a place at our dinner table for The Doctor on every special occasion. I suppose I'll always be the girl who waited, both here and there, whether I'm conscious of it or not.

There are certainly worse things to be in this world.

I really appreciate the gesture, but if everyone could stop gifting me menorahs at work? I have eight, one for each night of Hanukah, which is ... not really how it works.

I'd also have, for future reference anyone who works with me or is one of my patients who reads this (Watson, I think you're the only one, but I'm thinking wishfully), gifts in the form of donations to cancer charities.

So well, in fact, that my offer was accepted.

So. I guess now it's paperwork and signing things and stuff time.

And then, you know. Moving. And Condo owning.

Buying furniture...
Learning how to cook, in order to make that kitchen worth it...

Dear Police and Paramedic Types:

If a gunshot victim is in fact still breathing? Like, noticeably? The proper place for him is not here at the Sheriff's Department autopsy room. No matter how dead you "think he's gonna be". People clinging to life do usually go to the nearest emergency room. Not to the medical examiner.

Don't be this certain EMT team from Huntington Beach, people. I have enough murders on my plate without any appetizers.

I beg all the teenagers and pretty much anyone else out there, do not try eyeballing vodka or any other alcohol. It can burn your corneas and cause blindness. I don't even understand how this became a thing. Who thought that pouring vodka in your eye was a good idea?
