I had a horrible night last night. The whole day yesterday was kind of weird. First I woke up with my index finger of my left hand numb. Thought that was strange. Worried about it of course and told everybody in my immediate vicinity, "My finger is numb." Everyone said, "So what?"

:shrug:


Last time I went to the doctors I accidentally dislocated my arm before going in, my entire arm went numb, I had to get a shot and felt nothing.

Oddly the something happens if I spend a large amount of time under extreme stress (A week or more generally), I have periods of being completely numb where I can't feel anything.


Wow, Arganger, it must be awful and very disconcerting to have periods of being completely numb. Stress certainly does create many strange physical symptoms. An overload of stress is too much for the body to tolerate without disruption among the ranks.
"Back bone connected to the shoulder bone
Shoulder bone connected to the neck bone
Neck bone connected to the head bone"

Also, I don't know much about anatomy, but I do know, as most people do, that a blow to the elbow, in addition to being painful, can cause a numbing of the entire arm and hand. There must be a nerve bundle in and around the elbow. I had a period of extreme stress that resulted in horrific jaw pain. Opening my mouth, chewing, swallowing were extremely painful and I lost about 20 pounds during that time. Finally, the pain got so bad I went to the hospital emergency department. They couldn't find anything structurally or physically responsible for my pain. Fortunately, a brilliant intern gave me the insight I needed to resolve the problem. He asked me if I tended to ruminate a lot. Eureka! That was the clue, or the magic words, that healed me. Cows ruminate, chew their cud. Chew, swallow, bring up and chew again. That's what I was doing metaphorically and it actualized physically. As soon as I made the connection the pain left.

It was $5.00 a bag day in the thrift shop yesterday, which means you jam everything you can (hopefully things you want or like or could use) into a brown paper bag and pay five bucks for the lot. That was fun. I won't go into detail on what I got. Boring stuff. A bunch of crap really. On the way home I stopped at the market and got yogurt and coca cola. I also bought ten dollars worth of scractch-off lottery tickets and didn't win a thing, except for two free tickets that amounted to $4.00. How I would love to win $500.00 a week for life. You never know.

How people within the scientific fields have been criticized if not made to appear as if they literally create false evidence from research reports to science being taught in the classroom. Thanks be given unto the jackass party that seemingly believes in a mythical sky deity not merely creating the entire Earth and it's lifeforms in 6 days as well, that the universe is only 6000 years old.. Nice try idiots but, I don't believe in crap which has been debunked on many levels. I'm glad that I learned a great deal as it pertains to scientific principles and methods.

The baby sensed that something was up, that I was distracted, that my watchful eyes were not on him; he seized the moment to crawl under the kitchen table and pour maple syrup in my boots.

Feel guilty for not working at a paying job

Also feel kind of bored and unproductive as a sloth and public nuisance

But many jobs are boring and unproductive , especially the kind of jobs that I qualify for :jester: minimum wage jobs only :jester: :ninja:

Besides there are many things worse than
:mrgreen: boredom :jester:

For example, getting bothered by angry customers at mc Donald's

And "productive" :idea: is not necessarily good

Produce guns and cigarettes


But that's too much stagnation



:skull:


Babysitting on Friday


Saturday ate one "lawh mie gie" and half a "joong"

Sunday ate one joong

Monday ate half a joong


:mrgreen:



:lol:


Bowel movement :arrow: shaped like rocks ever since then


:idea:



Moving forward in "life"

Goals

Hobbies

Passion

Video games

:lol:

i am a grammar nazi, but i don't write people off solely because of grammar. you may be missing out on some decent friends over something that is not even close to a major character flaw. once you develop a trusting relationship, you can ask folks to use, "pardon me," since that is what feels good to you.

I have spent my last night in my bed. It's been my bed since I was 7 or 8 years old, and it's hard to let it go. My dog has slept in that bed, as has my turtle Nemo. My turtle Nikita climbed up there on her own, and had me searching for her for a while. After 34 years it's time for a new one. My old bed is only 16 cm tall, and my body is no longer as young as it was (even though I still feel like I'm at least 20 years younger than I am, maybe more). Some days it's literally a struggle to get up, which is why I have to replace it. I don't like to, it's nothing wrong with it, it's not broken, I wish I had space for both.
I get attached to my objects, so it's a sad day for me.

I can understand that feeling as, I've kept the blanket(s) I've had as a child even if that was centuries ago in a galaxy far,far away. Regardless, I' became quite fond of having them overall almost a part of me in some ways.

In almost every book, my characters will end up underground somehow or in some way, usually near the climax. I'm not sure why; it just sort of happens.
