What's wrong with the name "lovetodance"? I love to dance, too! We're not going to get many new folks around here if we don't play nice ya know.

If you scratch an itch when you are asleep are you conscious when you sleep?

If you scratch an itch while in deep thought and didn't know that you were scratching an itch when you scratched it, and didn't remember scratching the itch afterwards, who then, scratched the itch.

Are we only conscious of that which we are focused upon and unconscious of the rest of everything around us so that even when we are awake we could be said to be only narrowly conscious?

When a tobacco plant's leaves are nibbled upon by hookworms,(much like an itch) the plant begins to manufacture alkaloids in its roots in order to rush bitter nicotine to the tobacco leaves above to poison the wormy invaders.

But plants are notoriously slow, so this takes ten days, but hey, how did the tobacco plant know when to increase the nicotine in the leaves to make the leaves toxic?

Are tobacco plants conscious?

I am the original poster of this inquiry. Thanks particularly to Consuelo, whose reply was sufficient for my curiosity. There seems to be no word that is specific to the deer-velvet-rubbing. I now leave this subject to those of you who are rubbing your conscious itches.
PS: In general reply to numerous private messages I have rec'd: Thank you for your kind words; I enjoy Latin, Swing, and Smooth dancing as a hobby; and I am heterosexual.

As I have posted elsewhere on this board...

"Dancing is a vertical expression of horizontal desire."

I prefer the horizontal...

Loveto...

Stick around, ltd. And ignore Homo Loquens -- he's our bad apple. Every public message board has one.

You know, ltd, it seems to me that there really IS a word for that. It's, well, itching at the back of my mind and I can't bring it forward or figure out where I learned it. But I'm workin' on it.
And I second AnnaS - stay around.

Amen, RM - but vertical is fun, too, and you can do it in public.

Yes, LtD, please feel welcomed.
Good luck with that itch Elizabeth. I've found it very difficult to apply calamine to my own frequent synaptic itches.
