That's about all I can think of. It just depends on what's causing the dizziness. If it's a mechanical problem in the inner ear (I have one of those) there's very little to do except avoid dangerous situations when it happens. In my case I'm lucky that it's only an intermittent problem and it usually only affects me when I'm lying down--but I'm still not too eager to be on stairs on those days.

If it's caused by something else, like an infection or a problem in the brain, there might be medications or therapies to try.

Mind you, I'm not a doctor--I don't know if anyone here is. If it's something that's interfering with your friend's life, they should ask a professional. If it is something really serious, we can't help.

for a friend. I think it is dizzyness. or it could be vertigo. remedies or methods for coping with both, please.
many thanks.

Have I mentioned I love you?

It was pretty funny, but rather morbid. I like that style of parodies sometimes better than the other exaggeration styles. It just depends. :D

A Tonberry is a monster that spends several turns slowly walking towards your party and then sticks 'em with it's knife once it's close enough. It isn't a straight insta-kill in every game, but that's the most iconic and well-known version. I'm not planning to use it in most missions - apart from anything else, Tonberries are pretty slow - but it's a useful option to have.

Besides this, I want the Tonberry more for what it'll do to Agent Smith's head than the insta-kill. Plus it's not really any different than having the option of saying "and then Agent so-and-so shot the 'Sue in the head". Which would be boring if I actually did it.

On that author's note - it would be a little more impressive if the 'Sue didn't effortlessly disarm one of the Knights of Pluto in the very next chapter. >.>

I've only played a bit of FFVII, so anything after that is kinda lost on me. What's a Tonberry, why can it kill instantly, and how will you avoid all your missions ending in "and then the Tonberry killed it instantly"?

That fic does look like a mega-Sue, though. I love the author's note in Chapter 2: "and thanks to some advice from a reviewer Im going to let Lena be skilless until Zidane and the others give her a few pointers in fighting." *snerk* At least she's receptive to advice.

I don't really swear in RL or online, but I have noticed that the way I speak and the way I write or type is different. I normally attribute it to the extra half-second or so between my brain and words appearing on the screen compared to my brain and mouth. This becomes even more obvious than normal when I have to do a speech or something, because if I try and write an actual script for myself, I end up re-writing it in my head while I'm giving the speech.

As you can imagine, I don't bother with scripts anymore.

I don't know the canon as well as others would, but I can handle the spelling/grammar side of things fine. Would that help? tiroth@hotmail.com

I've been around for a while now, even if I don't post much, so I figured it was time to go for this. This is probably a good example of my writing (note that it's a first draft, so there are mistakes in it). I know it's kinda old, but I don't type stuff up very often. If you need more, or at least something more recent, there are some links to RP characters in my signature on that forum. I was pretty good at procrastinating with them, though.

I'd like one of my agents to be a newbie male human called Agent Smith (yes, he's seen The Matrix, and no, he doesn't think it's funny - it's just his name) whose primary hobbies are reading and video games, especially fantasy novels and RPGs. My other agent will be a Tonberry (creatively referred to as "Agent Ton") who is more experienced but doesn't speak much. He also happens to make Agent Smith rather nervous due to whole insta-kill thing Tonberries have going on.

They will be members of the Department of Mary Sues, in the Freelance Division, and their first mission will be to tackle this fic. Random girl gets sucked into Final Fantasy IX, immediately befriends the key player characters, and she is apparently destined to "save" the villains. Sounds like a Sue to me.

Is there anything else I need to do?

Inspired by my hatred of the Draco In Leather Pants trope (though in the Redwall fandom it's more like "Vermin Posing For CuteOverload"), my horror at the depths of the Twilight fandom, and my love for violent songs.

Would someone please beta-read my Doctor Who mission?

Especially since I sound overeager to see how much of 'the best medicine' you've taken already.

I remember you, fellow oldbie! Good to see you here again.

Welcome back to the Board! I may be a little late to wish you a happy Thanksgiving, but that doesn't mean I can't throw at you a huge, feathersome, gobbling turkey. Quick, catch it before it gets away!

too bad all the discworld missions are on livejournal. How do I access you stories trojie?

but I found Darth Whatever.

You know, when Germans took him during WW2.

Here.



Happy Thanksgiving.

*eats a dinosaur to forget the mental image and drinks all the bleepka to finish the job*

Happy Thanksgiving, happy late-anniversary-of-my-joining-the-Board, uh, my hand is cold?

TFTD is set on near-future earth, and centers on a cross-national force with no particular naming patter. You don't need to know the cannon to help out.

I had a Spanish supervisor once, who said about a Mexican colleague: "look what they already did to Spanish".

I'm less bothered about people butchering grammar when speaking than when writing.

And i'm sorry about informing you about a potential distraction.

I don't swear much in RL anyway, but I almost never use swear words online. That's mainly a familiarity thing, though, because I do use them with people I know well.

But what I have noticed is that my grammar somehow becomes more formal online. Most noticeably, I have a tendency to write things like 'it is' out in full, when I would always use the contracted forms in speech. (It only happens with some contractions though, for some reason). And this is when I'm IMing a close friend, so it's hardly a familiarity thing, or a case of reading over my words carefully before I post them. For some reason, my brain automatically converts things as I write them. But then, I write in a very formal style anyway, (the product of several years' worth of lab reports), so that could be something to do with it.

Weird. I never noticed that before.

(Also, online I do not have the bad habit of dropping the occasional 'like' into my sentences. And now that I think about it, I don't think I would actually use the phrase 'most noticeably' in regular speech).
