Think... Peaceful... Thoughts...


*sighs... thinking of peaceful settings.... *

Okay... first, I want to thank those that have written to me to ask me how my health is. That is very kind and thoughtful of you all. I really do appreciate your concern. Thank you :)

Now then, PLEASE be aware that I DO have a life outside the Wizard's Lair!! I have a family and a girlfriend and a job, that mean just as much to me, and even more so, then making sure that the Lair is full of fresh and new things on a weekly basis. Indeed, if you read my FAQ section, the first thing you will see is that I shoot for a MONTHLY update.

That said, we at the Lair do update more often, especially now that I have the help of the very lovely and gracious Scarlet Witch! But please do be aware that she also has her own life outside of the Lair and that her own updates are as chaotic as mine. Though with both of us posting up together, we have been averaging an update every week or so, which is much more then most pay sites! And when you consider that the updates are much larger then what those that charge money give you, and that we actually keep items up once posted (with the exception of those items we had to remove to comply with the 2257 legislation, but that is another issue), people should be grateful for what we DO give.

But, that doesn't seem the case, as some people do get impatient, and the only time that they DO write is to complain about something. People have to realize that most of the time, the writers and artists and contributors do not get ANY feedback from anyone! And, when they do, it is usually the "why haven't you done this?" or "Give me that!" or "Do you have any images that are not posted that you can give me personally?" and the like. Most people here in our community are decent folks, though quiet and are primarily 'lurkers'. However, we do run up against those few selfish and greedy jerks, who always complain and demand, that really make us want to throw up our hands and give up on all of this (one of the reasons I 'retired' a couple years ago - Don't fret, not thinking of it now at this time).

So, in conclusion, please be patient. Right now my personal schedule is a bit hectic of late but things should settle back down to normal in a month or two. Until then, the Lair will be updated, though just not as often as many of you would prefer.

Oh... there is a bit of good news there, however! When the next update pops up, it will be a BIG ONE!!!

Mental Meanderings 5 of 12

Vladi's Mental Meandering Part 5 of 12 (Posted to my peer support group for our communications center) The other day, while on one of my walks, I came to an epiphany. Now, for the longest time, I have always thought that my "anti-social behavior" was because I HATED people. It was something that I feared to say out loud, without the camouflage of humor, masking it as "oh, he's just kidding ... ha ha ha ... that Vladi... what a kidder!" But, you would be wondering, quietly and in the back of your mind, if I really WAS kidding! Well... you and me both! Such a feeling of hate towards humanity, and my fellow man (and woman), really didn't seem RIGHT to me, but how else would I explain my distrust and distance that I keep myself from people. Sure, I would be ASSOCIATED with people through school, or work, or even play (theater and dart league), but while we would often use the word "FRIEND" to define our particular relation

Mental Meanderings

Published to my Peer Group with minor editing to protect the guilty: VLADI'S MENTAL MEANDERINGS Episode 2 of 12 Recently, we have seen a rise in attention given to suicide by the "MSM", due to the recent celebrity suicides. And, with all the various articles, as well as Facebook memes flying about, I have come to a realization, due to the fact that I have actually been on the "other side of the phone", as it were. Now, I am not going into a whole bunch of different things (after all, I have 10 more sessions to perform for my therapist here :P), so I will only concentrate on one, very important thing, which I believe we have been doing wrong for many many years. A MILLION. Even in the best of times, we have a hard time relating to that number. We don't see it, we don't interact with it, we don't experience it. It is a concept to us, really. Sure, we understand it mathmatically, but if we suddenly had a million of .... ummmm... anything, we wo

The Wizard's Lair is the DOWNFALL of the Superheroine in Distress Genre!

Seems of late I have been reading quite a bit about the failure of some pay sites within the community are closing down. Some are putting the blame on peer-to-peer sites in general, while others are placing the blame on The Wizard ’ s Lair in particular. Now, without knowing the financial specifics of each and every website that is closing down and/or losing money, how can anyone place any blame on any one thing in particular, or even accuse a single website, it ’ s webmaster, and it ’ s contributors for contributing to the financial decline of these sites? When I look around, I see that everyone is feeling the financial pinch, influenced largely by the (ever) rising cost of fuel, which has a cascading effect on everything from car sales, to food costs. People all over are doing everything that they can to save money, from driving less, to canceling vacations, and to eliminating discretionary expenses, of which would include memberships to websites. Is anyone looking at pointing to
