Did you catch the quote below? "There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." Having the privilege of being here on HFW, now that is a miracle. I love miracles. <-- Word Request Magickal Marina Miracles - The 3 Ms

Hello hitoshi, I have been to Yokosuka and Tokyo. I love your country and had a terrific time there. The people are very friendly and even though I do not read or speak Japanese, I was able to navigate around Japan very easily. I hope to visit Japan again, but not in Dec., otherwise I would hand deliver the HFW calendar to you.

Hey, Marina is Magickal, so that was an easy decision. Now, when and where does the pain come in? I'm such a glutton.

Crowley deck and no books on Crowley? What kind of apostasy is that? Dang, I thought I owned every book ever published on the subject. Oh, wait, I see Manly P Hall. Yup, gots his stuff. In fact his organization is not tpp far from me. Now, you're going to make me spend more money on books which will leave me less for HFW calendars. Dang it, decisions, decisions. Magick or Marina, whom do I choose?

Word Request: Hero / Heroin

2008-11-03T16:38:35.616+01:00
Word Request: Hero / Heroine Marina, could you look into the origin of the word hero referring to a fictional or historical figure that in the face of adversity displays courage and the will for self sacrifice for some greater good. For the sake of an interesting and riveting video, Joseph Campbell and Vladimir Propp might make interesting bullet points as well as others. Where have all the heroes gone?

2008-11-02T10:07:29.307+01:00
Word Request: Friend, Friendship, друг, приятель Marina, could you look into the origin of the word friend? If time permits and if it is related, maybe also the word "foe" as in the saying "Friend or Foe". Heads up: In case the German word "Freund" comes up as part of the origin, here is how to pronounce it. :smile: http://www.dictionarist.com/freund

For those complaining about the PayPal confusion, the system presents you with a message as soon as you click on "ADD TO CART" and prior to clicking on "Checking Out". The message reads: * Please note: Your shopping cart contains one or more items that cannot be paid for with PayPal. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. It seems clear to me. Marina, my shopping experience was satisfactory. Now, Twitter, now those people need massive technical writing talent. Somebody over there is all screwed up.

Wow! massive changes to the HFW YT profile page. I like the changes. I like the recent comments box also. Recommendation regarding background picture. Could you do a horizontal flip (mirror) of Marina? (leave her on the left side but facing right) or move her about 50-100 pixels to the right. I'm so picky. :smile:

Down below, CampKohler replied: "Turn on the editing for me and turn it off for everyone else that doesn’t like the idea. Yeah, that’s the ticket!" CK, you're too funny. How about this much, much better idea. Marnia gives me editing rights to your comments and you get to edit any user comments where that user contains twenty spaces in their name. I would be so very happy to edit your comments. :evil: :lol: Yeah, now that really fits the bill. By the way, comparing this site to "current.com" (in terms of editing comments) is like comparing shiny apples to rotten raisins ("Current.com"). "Current.com" barely has any threads, most responses are way below one hundred compared to any of Marina's video pages which get in excess of 300+ comments in any one day. "Current.com" doesn't have the community that this site has. If I am in error, please show me the way. By the way, wasn't Marnia supposed to be involved in some project on "Current.com"? Anyone know what's going on with that?

re: "... the only link is the visitors from here. - so that must be it." Yes, that's what I think it is also. I think YT does something similar to the "six degrees of kevin bacon". I was suggesting subscribing to YT HFW since our teacher said at the beginning of this video that you won't be disappointed. Just trying to help you out. :lol:

Hey BillyB, that Blood Sweat & Tears - Hi-De-Ho music is perfect and funny. My friend Heide is going to love it. She finally subscribed here after having been an HFW email subscriber for a year. Heide with an "e" can be translated to Heather and it is a variant of Adelaide.

The trick to cause the dancer

2008-10-22T15:00:48.797+02:00
The trick to cause the dancer to spin either left or right at will is to focus on the bend where the foot joins the ankle. If you focus on the main foot (black image) the body will rotate one way. Focus on the reflection (gray image) and the body will spin the other way.

Hey mijj meister, what will your next number be? Not 10, right? Since you didn't start your series with a base origin of "0", in your mijjian world, the next number should be "11", correct? Of course, you could create a "0" video, really quickly. It should be a snap. It'll take you, what, maybe 2 seconds to create. :grin: :lol: Of course, you realize, if you make a "0" video, I'm going to have to play that Fixx video "Saved By Zero" again. Go ahead and humour me. :lol:

By the way Marina, CoComment continued to track this video's page even though you changed the title of the page. The title of the thread on CoComment is still under the old name "Fetish", which is fine. At least there is continuity of the tracking. Maybe YT will sort out their issues one of these days.

You Tube has lots of glitches. Here is a screen shot of your comment that was labeled as spam on the "I Could Care Less" video. Owners of a YT channel don't have thumbs, nor have spam links like visitors have. I sent in a complaint to YT and they are aware of the problem, but didn't fix it like I nicely asked them to. I'm always sending them feedback. Oh well.

Thanks Bob, that was one of the thousand things I was going to say. I liked what you said about being "hooked on new areas of interest." That has happened to me so many times. Interestingly, some of the people that I may have disliked in the past, have become unwilling authors whose books I have enjoyed reading. Soooo much to read.... so little time.

2008-10-20T16:33:47.616+02:00
I don't think I have a fetish, but do have a weakness for a radiant smile and scintillating eyes like that of our passionate teacher. Word Request: What is the origin of scintillating? An onomatopoeia is used to describe a word that looks like the sound it is making. The word scintillating appears to have a visual component to what it refers to. Is there a word that describes words that have a visual component, similar to onomatopoeia? If not, should I invent one?

2008-10-20T15:03:57.481+02:00
Marina, thank you for your new series of posts. At first, I thought, why doesn't she do this series in a video, but I must confess, I love reading your penned autographic compositions. Your video lessons are great, and your writing is excellent and I enjoy reading every bit of it. Just consider this; look what happened to JK Rowling. Yikes, I could have, should have.... well, you know the rest. Maybe you could name your (permanent?) series, "Marina's Diary" or "Marina's Journals" or "Marina's Reflections" or "HotForWriting" or something like that. :smile: I absolutely agree with your recommendations above and also echo Bob's comments way down there below. Hi Bob. One of my English teachers in High School highly recommended pulp fiction (not the movie, but trashy paperbacks) and comic books like Mad Magazine and the like, besides the classics and highly touted authors like Dostoevsky, Hemingway and hundreds of others. You know how at parties and various discussions, the subject that is often discussed is that women don't understand men and men don't know what women want. Right? Well, I met this woman many years ago who recommend that if I wanted to know what women want, to start reading those trashy love novels one sees at the drug stores, especially the ones written by women. (That's a hint guys - also watch Marina's lesson on Women's Dictionary 1 and 2 - Excellent videos) Dang, I've got a thousand more things to say, but I better shut up for now. I want to read more about "Marina's Thoughts and Reflections" :smile:

2008-10-20T14:07:35.360+02:00
Hello matalexwolf, I understand and relate to your anxiety and your concern and I have a similar story to tell. My first language is German, but when I came to the US, I knew zero about the English language, but excelled in it in three years winning spelling bee contests and graduating in the top 10%. All the professionals and friends who tried to come up with a reason for why this happened, have failed. A met a person many years ago who hit the nail squarely on the head with his explanation. I'm sure that you are familiar with measurements of IQ and possibly EQ (emotional quotient) and other psych type measurements. Where the measurements fail is to account for the subject of nurture and alienation. Of course, some of these psych tests will reflect some of this in the metrics, but you don't want to hear about numbers. You want answers to your question like the one you asked above; "...so what can the issue be here?" I would be happy to share my experiences with you that may shed some light on yours.
