I've been having problems with the forum for months. When I reload the page, half the time it lags on "resolving host" for a good 30sec and then the page doesn't load right. Then I have to reload again til it does. Up til yesterday I blamed my router, but now I know it's not because I just upgraded to a brand new wireless AC Netgear (and my computer connection is actually wired). So 'tis not my intrawebz... 

 

...and this is the only site that does it. 

 

I been having issues for some time now. It loves to pop up and tell me something along the lines, "Page not found."

 

Either the coding to the site is messed up or it could be the increased traffic...could be both...

 

All I know is something is messed up.

I work at home, my hours are set to whatever I want. Granted I don't get a pay-check, but I do pull my own weight.

 

Was going to be a CGD but circumstances of real life got in the way. Thus you make the best at what you can do and what is.

Thanks for the answers all!  My "like" button is not working for some reason, but you have all given me lots to think about. It seems like this was not a straightforward question after all.
In regards to human dreaming, i always assumed that whenever a human dreams, they are int he fade (as per Wynn's very first dialouge in Origins).  Thus, I always think that if Cullen is remembering some traumatic event, it is basically fade spirits that are recreating those events out of his mind.  Ie, that all dreams are visual created by demons/spirits as they feed off of sleeping minds.  And I assumed that the difference with mages is that they could communicate directly with the demons/spirits, and are thus susceptible to possession...I also always thought of them as sorta...lucid dreamers.
 
I thought Dagan lamented not being able to dream when she talks to you in Skyhold, but I might have misunderstood her.
 
And darkspawn...we just don't know (that seems to be the consensus). 
 
Again, thanks for the input!!

Yeah, that's my understanding that dwarves don't dream, at least not in the regular way. But as has been stated... there are probably complications.

As far as what happens in the Fade, I don't think that it's spirits acting out your dreams. I think the Fade responds to you and your dreams. The spirits watch our dreams and that's how they learn about our world and in some cases become envious of what we have in the real world. I think we saw spirits acting things out in DA:O's broken circle because those were demons specifically trying to deceive us. Anyway, that's how I see it.

I'm not saying I have a really hard job, it's just mentally draining... I also teach extra classes every semester because my base salary is not enough to survive on. That's something that gnaws at you after awhile... why did I spent so much time, mental and emotional effort, and money to get all these degrees if I can't even get paid properly. 

 

I'm bitter and hungry right now lol I can't believe I have to go to the gym after this. I'm also on a diet. I could gnaw on a soldier right about now....

You said something about gnawing on a soldier....

[Cantina]

LOL! Too funny! I never thought about this. Not to mention they all were apart of The Chantry at some point.

You know the hair is kind of similar to Orion's...hmm...TIMEBEAN I FOUND A RL FACECLAIM FOR ORION!

 

Lol, I don't know who that guy is. Some soldier or so Google Images states. Oh, do not type in "Hot Soldiers" into Google Images. It goes from that kind of picture to some very...intimate pictures.

I'm judging the person who wrote that judgemental meme, believing that he/she him/herself is free of other people's judgement.

 

How many words did I manage to put the "judge" thing? Hmmm...

Lol. I'm trying, but none of the ones I want more are ever available. Vivienne, Aveline, Shale, Sten, Wynne...

(Also, I'm replacing Anders with Seb there. Super blue eyes are a fair trade for blonde hair)

Bahahahaaa Alright, no googling and ogling at work, then But that's not how you hold a rifle. Not that it matters... Gimme blue eyes and a three-day stubble, and my brain will take a holiday

I was quite shocked by some of the things I saw and I thought died for a few moments, lol. *fans self* That search is really NSFW, lol.

 

And shush....just focus on the pretty face and not his hand positioning. AND SAME!

I saw an Alistair in the train this morning. That made me nearly choked to death... The guy who's in front of me for the whole 2 hours ride. I tried to take a pic of him and then he realized that and started teasing me so... mission failed.

 

He started to ask for my number with that smile but then I chickened out & became a stuttering mess...

 

FML.

[Tishina]

Dagna says: "Also, dwarves? We don't dream. So when mages talk about it, I can only... well, dream what it would be like."

 

And Varric has a line in the Fade which goes something like, "Is this what it looks like when you guys dream? How do you sleep?"

They're having issues being consistent on this. The dwarf fans have been told that dwarves DO dream, just without entering the Fade (but I'm too tired today to try to track down exactly what we were told right now.) Varric's statement is vague enough to fit since he's talking about humans entering the fade when they dream. Dagna's makes no sense, unless she's being lazy and just not adding the part about entering the fade.

 

I'm inclined to think it's just a case of the writers not all being on the same page.

  Kidding, but lucky!

[Cantina]

So I found this:

Someone took the time to explain about the characters and Cullen.

 

Well, duh, I read Cullen's and it was certainly interesting.

[Cerulione]

  Kidding, but lucky!

 

Well, em, actually no. Because I did that in front of my best friend who now had repeated the story to everyone I know... including my BF... Oups.

Yes siree! Those are my guys (and Zevran).

You could have politely said to him...

 

"I am sorry to bother you. I cannot help but notice you look exactly like a character from a popular game I play. Do you mind if I take a photo for my friends to see?"

 

Well at least that is what I would have done.

Pfft. Who plans on romancing just one character per game anyway?

:ignoring judgmental confession:

[Zarro-Morningstar]

Psh! Flirting is fine or appraising beauty of another that is not yours, well, it's fine as long as you don't act on it. Words are nothing, but action is everything. Lol, still envious!

My bff had to go to school for two years in order to work her old job with early childhood development - she made minimum wage. I have a high school degree and lack of college hasn't even been mentioned and my boss is pushing me to post into a higher tiered position, yet I'm perfectly happy making what I make (it's enough, we'll leave it at that). The company I work for is all about actual experience over degrees. Yet my bff couldn't break minimum wage and they made her go to school for two years? And now she can't find any jobs in the field without going to school for another two years. Yeah, that makes a whole lot of sense. She ditched her career with teaching and is now thinking about nursing. But like me, she's in her 30's and at some point she needs to just work with the bed she made or else she's never going to climb that wonderful ladder of work life. 

 

Don't even get me started about what I think about college in general for most career goals.  I just get so angry when I see so many people in debt for their whole lives over it and either don't even use the degree(s) they get or can't find a job at all.  

 

I work at home, my hours are set to whatever I want. Granted I don't get a pay-check, but I do pull my own weight.

I work from home too. My "official" hours are 8:00 - 4:30PM ET, but with my job we basically work til we're done, whether that's more or less. Some weeks are nice and easy peasy while others are so bad you want to punch the next person that talks to you in the throat. But it all balances out. No weekends - that's all that matters.

Oh boy, he would make a wonderful chew-toy...dirt and all...

Oooh lucky! Whenever I see a hot guy checking me out I'm with my b/f...who gives off the "bouncer" persona...so yeah...

 

Whenever I'm alone, I get the middle-aged preverts who just stare at teh bewbs.

Psshhh... You mean talk coherently around someone who looks like Ali? Or around good-looking guys in general? That achievement I have not yet unlocked. If the real me were the Quizzy, and would be talking to Cullen, the romance would have never happened. He probably would have started avoiding me due to the beatific grin splitting my face every time he'd be around
