This will really be dating me but every third Thursday in August, the Sunday School sponsored a bus trip to Coney Island. We cooked all the food the day before and a lot of us ate it on the bus. The rides were great. I went on the Cyclone, the Tornado and the Thunderbolt roller coasters. If you remember the Steeplechase, that was one ride I was scared of falling off. At least the memories are still there.
I have trypophobia. I just found out what it was. All I originally knew was that seeing a certain pattern of holes bothered me immensely. Sounds utterly crazy, bonkers.
It has been unaddressed but the TV show "Hoarding - Buried Alive" really gives a glimpse into the mindset of the mentally ill. That said, this series cashes in on the illnesses of some people.
Being in the south and reading about and seeing that snow in the northeast. When I lived up there I panicked when snow was forecast. Trying to find someone to help me dig out. It's a lot better down here.
And most doctors do not seem to think not sleeping well is a problem. I wonder what a doctor would do if he had to operate and the night before he didn't sleep?
I've had sleep problems for such a long time. Can't get to sleep, wake up when I do fall asleep and take 2 or 3 hours to get back to sleep. I know I am sleep deficient. When I mention it to my doctor he says "do you think you have sleep apnea?" I'm sure I don't have that and if I tried to do a sleep study, I would probably not sleep the whole night so it would be a waste, according to a sleep study technician.
You mentioned having a EEG done. Did a doctor recommend it? This is the first time I've seen another possible test for lack of sleep.
Me: Thank you for contacting me and your complement. I notice though that you are about 100 miles away!
GUY: Distance is no object to me. I think we can get to know each other with email and the phone.
Me: email and phone are great but I think there needs to be face to face to learn about each other and with so much distance, I don't think that is possible.
GUY: I disagree. After talking and emailing we can progress to actually meeting each other.
Me: That sounds nice but travelling 100 miles just to meet for the first time puts a lot of pressure on the meeting. I would expect chatting over coffee and lunch and maybe walking thru town.
GUY: That sounds really nice. But what if we like each other?
Me: I would presume we would make plans to see each other again.
They are out there! Dumb me fell for it: the nice in the beginning. By the time the cracks began to show it was too late, I was his wife. His mother didn't want him and he was sent to live with an aunt. His father married a second time and she died too. As my ex put it "he killed two women". Didn't allow him in our house and refused to let the kids go to his funeral. What a perfect person to school his kids on their "bad" mother.. . . . . me.
The evil that men do live after them, the good is oft interred with their bones.
It might work if the relationship was established first and then for some reason distance became involved. But forget trying to establish a long distance relationship when you first meet someone. That's plain stupid.
