As fall comes around the corner, and I am relegated inside again, I find myself asking myself what it is I would like to do — to keep me busy over the long winter months.

Do I want to go into coaching?

Do I want to continue to write my relationship book?

Should I focus on photography?

What do I want to do!

Over and over again, I find my fascination with lie detecting center and paramount on my mind.

Then I test myself again. I see a clip of someone on a show before they tell you the outcome. They say the person is suspected of murder — for 20 years — and within 20 seconds of seeing the accused talk about the situation with no exterior clues — I can tell my husband if they are honest with great accuracy.

And more surprising, and to my support, I am not consistently supporting the media’s call. Like in the last case, a guy was suspected of murdering his wife for 20 plus years. He was tried but not convicted. When I saw the guy talk in the first minute of the show (he talked for 10-20 seconds), I knew immediately the guy was innocent (without a DOUBT) — and that is what the story revealed. Thankfully, I missed the story lead for that story (my DVR cut it off) or I wouldn’t have been able to test myself! The true killer was revealed: BTK (48 Hours Saturday).

It’s been over a year now that I have tested myself. And I have hesitated to call only a handful of people during this year because I suspect they were pathological liars — the hardest to detect. They give me great pause — because either they lack normal emotional responses or they are just strangely honest. But 90% of the time, I hit them on the head. I call people long before anyone around me even has a clue.

It’s chilling at times.

My husband is always surprised — sometimes he freaks out a bit. He says he can’t see anything I see — and he is a bright man — a highly educated engineer. Even when I rewind and play things in slow motion – – if I don’t give him clues — he misses it. He only sees it when I give details explanations.

I have a unique gift, and I so want to bring it out and use it for the good. I just want to be able to do what I am the best at, to enjoy my life — and to help others. I always have fought against injustice. This would just be another way to do it.

Would you be interested to record video snippets of yourselves, upload them to the web — and test me for real?

If you would, I would write up some parameters that you would have to follow to make this a good test. I would make those public.

I’ll do anything right now to test myself without putting myself in a huge spotlight because a huge spotlight would get me all emotional, nervous — and then my lie-dar would fuzz over and freeze!

Are you game?

While I am not into sports, and I had never heard of Thomas Herrion prior to his death, I do find his death interesting.

What I find interesting are the reports that are coming out about it. After an autopsy, the medical examiner is unable to find a cause of death. That would pretty much rule out an enlarged heart (stressed from being overweight), and a bunch of medical conditions — which can be gleaned from studying the physical body.

Yet oddly, Fox news and other news organizations are still saying that they wonder if Herrion’s weight played a part in his death. I find this to be deceptive and misleading. The medical examiner is waiting for toxicology reports (i.e. to see if drugs played a part in his death).

When you look at Thomas Herrion’s photos, he has the classical look of someone who used steroids. I have no clue whether the guy did or not, but I can guarantee you, if he did — you certainly won’t hear of it. I certainly have my suspicions.

Let me put it this way, the NFL doesn’t openly talk about steroids in situations like this. Just six months ago, Reggie White died very similarly, and they told everyone the cause of death wouldn’t be determined for oddly “four to six weeks” just as they are saying with Thomas Herrion.

Reggie White died eight months ago now, and we never heard the cause of his death, and we won’t hear the cause of death of Herrion either. I can pretty much bet on that one…

Just curious, if anyone finds the factual determined cause of death about Reggie White, and it seems plausible with toxicology reports, please let me know. I’d be shocked. In my search this morning, no news reports came up in late January or early February 2005 — four to six weeks after Reggie’s death. There were lots of speculative reports days after his death around Christmas time — but nothing after the medical examiner got his toxicology reports.

Hmmm……
