Whats your weather doing Chuck? Raining here, so I assume we're in a low, just a random thought.
Whats happening with the real world noises? They more noticable? I wish I had been paying attention to them before i dropped, but I don't multitask.


Lol, forgot I took out some hotpockets, I was hungry, still am but more interested in this :roll:

Dear Lemon,

Sorry about your Uncle, but glad he is serene! I'm glad you have a brother with ADHD, I'll bet he's funny! Whenever I have the urge to be creative and also must sleep or rest, I always give in to the creative side, forgo the sleep, enjoy myself, and pay for it later.

But in your case, with the week you've had, (where it sounds like you did a lot of fun and interesting things) I hope you opt for the sleep instead.

You are always so nice, and its good to hear from you, but you need a rest from this wide wide world... time to visit Winkin' and Blinkin' and Nod in the fuzzy magical dream world..... zzzzzzz..... zzzzzzz.....time to see the glittering stars in your nightscape mind...

Hey postpaleo! Yeah, its raining here - or I'm drooling waaaaaay more than normal. HAhaha! This is better than drugs! oh yeah - it is drugs. That's interesting that your ringing is coming from 2 different sites, and that the 'right side ringing' had to tone down in order for your 'middle ringing' sound to be noticed. My ringing is down a lot now, and my normal hearing does seem more acute - at least I'm noticing the sound of my keys as I type now.

what a week !
-uncle, who raised me with aunt (sister of my mother, both died) has cancer, have been in the hospital, he was quite serene
-went to see an artmarket in brussels (saw the atonium closer than i ever had) with the people of our local academy
-informationday about master at the university (i started studying again, will have finished bachelor this year)
-did soundrecording with a friend-musician with 'wispering, shouting, singing'-improvisation which he said he'd turn at the local radio (a very experimental one, both the friend and the radio) but i can't listen to it cause i'm in the same area today. (living 160 from my hometown)
the friend suggested to do a painting during a concert of his, which we might do than end of this month
-had a guy who followed me three streets when i walked to the railway station (i have to be carefull with my friendly smile in the big cities 8O )
-had a drink with my brother till very late at night, and both had a real good time (we went to the main bank in antwerp wow, it was like a movie, with the lady at the information bar completely zen, rollerstairs to go to the (don't know the word 'counter', 'box office' ?) and this lady was so friendly that my brother (he adhd, we're quite a pair together :D ) and i were joking that next time we'd come to take our money in several times in order to see this woman a bit longer.
-the music teacher called there is no class tonight , must say that 'do-re-mi'-ing would have been quite tough right now.
-i'm still breathing, my eyes are tired, my head stuck with words, feel also quite inspired to paint
and need rest...


Awww Sorry to read about your uncle, but glad the rest of the week went so well! I think you are finding your stride there.

Hey ZanneMarie! So nice that you are here! I'm at the one hour mark. The ringing hasn't gone away entirely. But its not nearly as loud. And I'm feeling another nap coming on strong.

Benadryl puts me to sleep so I can't try it and I would never consistently take it to stop the ringing because it would make me muddle headed at the very least. Claritin in the lowest dose dries out my sinuses and makes my nose bleed so not much point in that for me anyway.

I can hear my heart beating all the time. I like to listen to my husband's too. Okay. So I'm weird. I like myself. That's all that counts.


I heard John Lennon on the way into work this morning. I was so depressed when he died.


People say I'm crazy
doing what I'm doing,
Well they give me all kinds of warnings
to save me from ruin,
When I say that I'm okay they look at me kind of strange,
Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game.

People say I'm lazy
dreaming my life away,
Well they give me all kinds of advice
designed to enlighten me,
When I tell that I'm doing fine just watching shadows on the wall,
Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball?

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,
I really love to watch them roll,
No longer riding on the merry-go-round,
I just had to let it go.

People asking questions
lost in confusion,
Well I tell them there's no problems
only solutions,
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind,
I tell them there's no hurry
I'm just sitting here doing time.

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,
I really love to watch them roll,
No longer riding on the merry-go-round,
I just had to let it go.




Man I hadn't heard that in a long time. I used to love to play that on the piano.

Hey Postpaleo! I was reading to see what activities occur mainly on the right side of the brain - listening to music occurs mainly on that side. Maybe your brain was really focused into the Moody Blues. Drawing does as well, but I don't know if you were drawing while listening to the Moody Blues. Maybe you were creatively thinking while listening to music. This could explain the predominance of your 'right side ringing' (if you don't have any hearing problems in either ear).

The ringing in my ears is very much diminished now, but still there. I'm think I'm going to take a nap.

Really ZanneMarie, that is all that counts! Don't you ever change! If being able to think means I'll have ringing in the ears, then, by golly, I welcome ringing in my ears!

I was thinking the other day (or the thing that I do that passes for thinking): some people spend their entire lives working to buy a house that can be burned up, blown up, or flooded away in an hour. Better to spend your time listening to your heart and your husband's.

I luvs ya.

(don'tcha hate a sappy druggie). :)

Oh I've had my fair share of pharmaceuticals including Stadol which convinced me I could easily become an opium or heroin addict.

I well understand the hazy state.

I tried a Benadryl to see if my tinnitis would diminish or stop, but fell asleep so fast I couldn't remember upon awakening. Apparently, my brain crashes and burns when my brain histamine levels are diminished at all.


OMG, I can't sleep without my Benadryl.

My brain never stops and just keeps playing through the distortion, sort of like a Triode amp.

It may stop when I'm asleep. Who knows?

You guys talk too much. I can't keep up. :lol:

Ok about 3 hours into this, which should be with about 2 and half with the drug in my blood. Can't say it has cut it down a lot, but deffinatley some. Back ground noise a bit more noticeable. I'll try 50mg next time. Has not cut down on the brain ramble, but have another drug working that has the race under better control. Those two things are not one and the same. Ramble is just me thinking , race is too, but that I can't turn off very well, if at all.

HEY!! someone turned the green in the grass on last night. It's bright. Probably the rain, I glance out of windows more when the light is defused and I think the rain highlights it some. Plus the papers have needed burned for a good while and my excuse it's too dry isn't going to work much longer. (When I looked out back before all I saw the was the burn enclosure.) And I can't because it's warm and the neighbors windows might be open. and what if someone has their wash drying on an out side line and what if the neighbors see me and.... god I guess I have to do it, but hey!! I will get wet, that's not a good thing and cheezus I won't be able to light it if it's wet, yeah that's it. Wonder who turned the buds on the lillac bushes? They weren't there last night. Well the lord may have said let there be light and I said let's not be too hasty here. I think that might have been a stoned ramble, yeah that's it, I'll blame it all on drugs. Think I'll take a nap and think on how to burn the papers. :roll:

I tried to think of the last time I was out of the house for more then a minute or two. It's been 3 weeks. I couldn't remember, but that's normal, had to look on the calander. It's also normal for me not to have been out side for this length of time. Actually this is still short for me not to have gone out. Nap time!! !!

It's beautifully green here, PP. The irises and daylillies are blooming in the back yard. There is a big storm moving in from Texas and it is going to rain again.

Where do you live in PA? My ancestors are from PA and I find it beautiful.

It stays pretty green here all the time. The hibiscus are in bloom and the crape myrtles are finally getting leaves. And the bunnies eat all the clover in my yard. :o)
