22 OK

the people on the ground ( I see 4, maybe 5) are using that big net/parachute thing to capture the giant beam of light/whatever that is, which to me looks like there are two figures inside whose physical form is distorted by some force, and all this is happening in darkness

36 I like this! It looks like a cover for Astounding in the Fifties or Analog in the Sixties/Seventies. Or a Ballantine Books paperback cover. What titanic event is going on here? Raw blue-white energy from another universe flooding into ours?

Note the people, two near the tree and one toward the lower center, dwarfed by all this. The guy in the center looks like he's wearing a loincloth and not much more. And there are two others on the lower right, who look like they are opening this great rift.

45 Interception

Oddly enough, this painting bears a bit of a visual resemblance to a condition where the intestine (usually small bowel) telescopes inside itself from its own peristaltic motion, resulting in bowel obstruction and possible necrosis from compromised blood supply. A true medical emergency. There IS a code for that:

ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code K56.1
Intussusception

56 When I look at the larger version, it looks like there are two guys on each side that are holding lines to a net or sheet and that they are seeking to entrap some incorporeal entity seeking to escape their snare.

Their primitive dress fits in well. Almost like they are from the book I'm reading right now, which goes into detail about Australian aboriginal mythology.

Kinda wild and weird. I like it.

Imagine if Serling's production company had possessed the kind of special effects we do today. This could have been a TZ episode; perhaps with William Shatner and Anne Francis as a young couple in a troubled marriage, caught in the middle of this chaos.

To met he image on the left behind the tree looks like Superman's chest logo, squashed down. And the silhouette to the far right on the lip of the "cloth" (?) appears to be that of a stork or egret, rearing its head up.

Grammie, it's Heroes & Icons. It's available over the air, or your cable system may have it. They run Westerns in the morning, crime and adventure series in the afternoon, and the entire block of the first five Star Trek series in the evenings. Tonight and tomorrow, I guess, the ST stuff will be superseded by Twilight Zone.

93 No idea what to make of this painting but it is intriguing. Aside from the novel image, the smaller details of the tree, men and terrain almost hinted at eventually catch the viewer's eye. It makes you, or at least me, want to know more about what Tansey had in mind.

I would like to learn about Tansey's technique. And it's worth looking at some of his other works. They sow his range of talent but, also, the man had a wicked sense of humor in some of them.

109 Actually, the two figures in the lower right look like chicks to me know — well-dressed modern chicks. But the guy closest to the tree looks like he’s kneeling on the ground and getting ready to hurl a rock. He and the guy at the very bottom look like cave men.

Might have been just bullshitting me though.

Posted by: From about That Time

Happened to me as well, but I got a much better response. As we age, our eye changes from being more spherical to more olive in general shape whuch alters the focal length overall. Then as we grow older, our vision deteriorates (focal length changes) to the point where the olive shape matches the focal lenght need. My right eye is back to 20/20, and my left eye is 20/18. Weird.

235 You may cure type two diabetes if you cut the carbs out. With type 1 or LADA you may only be able to cut your insulin by 75% after 6 months of keto carnivore. The first thing you lose is 10 or 20 pounds of water in the first month. When you eat to many carbs it leads to inflamation. The body deals with inflamation by holding water.
