JJ,
Holy crap, I'm LMAO!! Damn, you crack me up; I think I love you.
K, so as far as the "spells" sorry. I don't sell them! In fact, I've really only done about 20 spells my whole life. Now, come out from under the bed.

Well Spiffi,
What kinds of spells are available? I might order one. Of course, I realize there is much more to Witchcraft than I know. I'll have to look at your posts on that subject--I find it interesting. I once knew a group of people who were into it, but I think it was really ''The Look'' that they were into--except for one of them. I think he was an overcooked acid freak.
I tried to sleep under the bed last night, but it didn't work. Every time, even now, that I think of your first response to Arby's girl, with the moving graphics, I have to laugh. If you laugh under a bed, you bump your head. I need to stop doing that anyway. First the cats come under to see what I'm doing, then the dogs, and in a few minutes there are so many people under there that it takes five minutes to figure out how everyone is going to get out.

Oh, JJ, spells?? Radiation? My goodness.
Someone is too paranoid. JUST ASK HER OUT already! Besides, only on rare occasions do I resort to doing spells...only if absolutely necessary AND with permission. (Usually with permission!) hehe

You have to realize......
that I do that several times a day. You just made it happen again. I think I better run down to the shrink tomorrow. Did you do that on purpose? I better lay down on the floor and stare at the ceiling. Tonight I think I'll sleep under the bed. I have some lead sheeting that I put on top of the bed to keep radiation and spells from getting through to where I am.

Okay, gotcha, JJ. But just one more question...
K, so like, why don't you ask this Arby's girl out???? You sound a bit infatuated with her. Especially if you included her in one of your only 3 freeze life moments!!!
You love her You love her. Neener Neener Neener!!! 
JJ N' Arby's Latino Girl, sittin in a tree.... hehe

I'm curious that you are curious, but I like it.
Let me make sure I have this right: three freeze frames where I am loose to wander around?
The armored truck bank drops should be easy to understand. Wait for the guard to start into the bank with huge sacks of money. Bam! Hit the freeze button and load up. Same at the other bank.
You probably wonder about Arby's, don't you? Well, a good Arby's with everything I could think of would be nice. Something to remember at the big estancia in Mexico or Central America. South America, of course, is not out of the running.
There's one other thing about the Arby's near me. There is a dizzyingly beautiful Latina who works there. She speaks English with no accent--but she speaks so fast that it sounds like Spanish. I have finally managed to get an ''Hechicera's eye-lock'' out of her, and I want to lock time right there so I can gaze into it for an hour or so.
Did I sufficiently explicate........ JJ

That's an easy one: Bank of America armored delivery,
Bank One armored delivery, Arby's.

Whammie,
You had cause to turn your back on her, and also, maybe you experienced that with her so that you can use what you personally learned to help others. It's obvious that you take a bad situation that you experienced and now help others with it. That's the best thing we can do with situations like those.

SPITFIRE,
I know it is useless to carry guilt, but I still carry regret that I was not there for my Mom when she needed me.
But it has influenced me and impacted my ability to counsel, as family fights are one of the primary things we seem to handle.
I had a young girl in the back seat of our car, for warmth, and I overheard her conversation with her mother, and she hung up the phone and huffed. I put some wise words in her head!
Mom was always there for me, though, and then I turned my back on her, even though I had cause to do so.

That is not such a difficult question
but it would be nice if there were more then 3 chances. I would go back and cut off the penis's of the men that sexually abused me. I would also do the same for my daughters perpetrator. Voila! Our lives would have possibly turned out differently.

Whammie, I guess we could all use a few times like
that to be able to stop and think about things. Your mom has much greater understanding about it all now, on the other side, though. So carrying guilt about things or wishing you could explain or apologize for something after one's death is really unnecessary. They know.

Freezing a moment
I can't think of three moments but I do have one.....
After months and months and months of anticipation I flew to see my lover for the first time. Major butterflies in my stomach as I stepped off the plane. We embraced and he took me by the hand to show me the most beautiful full moon that seemed to be perched just outside the window. He gathered me in his arms and we watched the moon for a few minutes. I would love to have frozen time at that moment.
It is one of my favourite memories of him.

Ok, I found one! It was many years ago, on a beach, around a
bonfire...there must have been 50 people, at least 30 were on LSD or magic mushrooms! We were playing music, I was playing bongos...At least 20 of us were playing various instruments. There was a lunar eclipse going on...
What can I say? I would love to have that moment frozen for a while...to walk around and look at everyone's ecstasy at that moment...in a way, that moment is always with me...all I have to do is relax a bit and close my eyes...
Thanks, Spitfire!

Spitfire, the one time I can think of, is before I ran my mouth.......
We had a huge family fight, and my brother was wrong, and his now-ex-wife-was wrong, and I stuck up for Mom, but she turned around and made me the villian, because the 11th Commandment was that no matter what, my brother could do no wrong. I wish I could have frozen time at the moment just before she told me. "Well, YOU certainly caused me a wonderful day, and I lashed out at her." If not to freeze time at that juncture, the time I would really like to freeze it would be the next time she tried to cry on my shoulder, and I completely lashed out, told her, "I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!" and was not there for her in the last days before her dying days.
Yes, that is where I would choose to freeze time, where I could be there for my Mom, lend her the comfort and the ear she needed, even though it was to lament about the pain my brother and his wife were causing her. Maybe I would have had enough time to think, that I would not forever carry the guilt of telling her I did not want to hear it, and not being there for her, when she was always there for me?

BB, I think you may discover a few times
that have already happened if ya think about it. I can't imagine you not having some already. I do suppose, however, it is a real thought provoking question about how we live our lives right now.

Spitfire, that is a most difficult question......
if one of the other actors would not also be frozen, I can think of several occasions where I would have liked to make time stand still. 
I am afraid that I don't have an answer for you right now. That is a tough one.

Taps,
Well, maybe think about times that may not have actually "helped" you or will help you, but times you would have or would like to savor the moment of, or possibly give you more time
to decide what to do in that quick decision making moment...
