Also I can't tell anyone in my family and have to hide that I like LDing cause if I did they would laugh at me or say I'm in some weird religion even though LDing Isn't a religion and is scientifically proven I know that they would laugh at me cause my brother laughed at me just for looking SP. It is nice to finally vent to people who understand me.
      Oooh! That sounds like a wish!! Your wish is my command. J/K. I'm like the only one in my immediate family who is a lucid dreamer too. I drive my family crazy when I tell them how many dreams and lucid dreams I have every day. You know what they say, "Be careful what you wish for, you may just get it!"

      No amount of pain is going to keep me down.

      I hope I get it. But I wish I could drive my family crazy like you but my family (if your family doesn't make fun of you at all) would drive me to the point of insanity worth being made fun of especially my sister I wish I had A LDer in my family cause he/she would be my bff no matter how young or old. Do you have any friends in real life who lucid dream if so how did you make them cause if I make one mistake at my school I will be made fun of the school year let me say this since I trust everyone on this website I am 13 and you know how most 13 year olds are do you?

      Rant: My sister's dog is scared of a passing storm and snuck into my room and peed on the floor. She woke me up I'm dog sitting, that's why I'm up right now.

      Secret? What secret? Yes, I was 13 once. No, none of my friends in real life are lucid dreamers but, that is not the point. In life in general, it is never easy. Even those so-called normal students can have it rough in school. Honestly, you can't please everyone. You can make friends on the internet to a point but, you shouldn't always trust everyone on here. I think that every family has at least one sibling who thinks they "know it all". It may feel like the end of the world but, keep on going. Eventually, you are going to find friends that are going to see you for you and not friends on their terms.
      When I was in college, I had some best friends who didn't care that I was weird. They know me well enough to accept me for who I am. This doesn't mean that life was even easier. My family and my boyfriend, know that I am different but, they love me just the same.

      Man that is pretty deep thank you for this. I now know that life has a lot of struggles, but you are the same as me when you where 13 no LD friends just friends. In their terms, but of course I have some real friends who accept me for who I am But even if I tell them I'm an LDer they will do a friendly laugh at me session. But They probably won't care I might just tell them one day (some of them are just as weird as me)
      Oh yeah and sorry about the dog If It makes you feel better my brothers dog sneaks in my room and pees and poops in, not anywhere else in the house just in my room.

      Heh she just started another fight with mother It is always the same and mother always has a hoarse voice afterwards and I just did all the house work I already did cause my sister always the same.
      (of course I always hear the saying of always see the good in people and every time I try to say that I love her(family wise of course) but she starts a fight so I have stop trying to say that I hate her and accept it)

      Hello friends! Not a whole lot happening on my end.
      My car is due back from repairs in a few more days. Can't wait.
      I have a court appearance to fight a speeding ticket.
      I've had a couple of university exams, it's been pretty good.
      Other than that, nothing to really report. I might be travelling to Canada soon to visit my friend who moved there. Hopefully by the end of the year. Maybe we could organise meeting up, Woblybil!I hear it's not too far to travel, and I would really love to see America while I was in Canada anyway.

      Welcome to RRCC, RandomViewer I've never been much of a lucid dreamer, but I've been a vivid dreamer all of my life (I remember dreams from when I was about 4 years old :O ) My parents, family, and most of my friends never understood that. My hubby and my kids (for the most part) think I'm weird too. But I still tell them my memorable dreams every day and they tell me theirs when they remember them.
      Embrace your "weirdness" but also know your "audience". If it weirds certain people out to the point they bully or belittle you, keep it to yourself unless you want the attitude or to educate them.

      Sounds like an exciting trip, Yuppie!! I hope the repairs go well and you're successful in fighting your ticket.

      Rave: I had my girlie exam only because I was there. They told me I now only need one every 3 years unless something big changes. They recommend a mammogram every 2 though

      Rant: I'm still uber bloated. The miralax, fiber and 5-10 cups of water every day has done very little save to relieve some upper pressure. Hubby's a silly goose. He said "You need to find someone to take care of that." I pointed out that I have been to 2 Doctors and they both recommended colonoscopy. He also told me they're sugarcoating "air" causing the perfs. He said the problem arises when they take blind right hand turns with the scope through the bowels. I'm going to request a CT before going that route, I guess.

      Rant/Rave: I have been sleeping absolutely miserably. So miserably, in fact, I keep falling asleep while taxiing the kids. I have marks all over my legs from jabbing my thumb nails into my thighs I found that works better than slapping myself lol. The rave is that I've been taking equally as miserable naps, but I've been remembering those dreams.

      Rant? My AC might be crapping out. I've thought that before though, lol. Sometimes it's just too hot for it to keep up because I fluctuate the temp so much. When I'm awake, I chill easily. When I'm asleep, I burn up. I tend to have it set to 73-76 when I'm awake but 68-70 when in bed.

      Rave? I may have truly broken my nocturnal-ness. I tried to pull an all-nighter last night but I was dead to the world by 3AM. And regardless of when I fall to sleep, I'm still normally awake before 8AM

      RANT: Walmart is no longer carrying the babywipes I've been using. I don't know if the company stopped or if Walmart is just behind... but these replacement wipes have been terrible. They're either too thick or too thin, scented, or unable to tolerate me adding rubbing alcohol to them

      Hope everyone has a safe, happy day.

      I've removed a ton of duplicate posts lately, mostly in here, due to a recent forum glitch (kind of a rant, I guess). But we've found a sort-of-workaround until we get it fixed. If you guys reply using the "Go Advanced" button instead of "Post Quick Reply", it should post only once. I'm using it for this post now, so just figured I'd give you guys a heads-up (and save me some extra work in the process).

      I wonder when the exact time when it all started? I noticed that there are some members, including myself, who have doubled or tripled posted and it is not caused by the glitch. Perhaps, the double posting is what is making it worse? I know there is a rule saying that we are not allowed to Double Post here. Perhaps this is the reason? When I was on another forum, we had a glitch like this there but, it didn't last this long because the mods cracked down on the double posting. I'm not trying to get anyone in trouble but, maybe we need to do that? (shrugs)

      Oh yeah, I just gave myself a bloody nose.

      Well, there's a difference between a "double post" and a "duplicate post". The forum rule applies to the "double post", where you post something, and then a few minutes or hours later you post in the same thread again to add more info - without anyone else replying in between. This is frowned upon mainly because it clutters up the thread and makes it hard to read - I've seen it before where someone split about 5 sentences of text between 4 posts in a row, with a butt-ton of white space in between, which was incredibly unnecessary. We strongly encourage you to use the "Edit Post" button below the post if you want to add additional info - but since posts aren't editable after 24 hours, we understand if you have to add a new post for more info - in those cases, the mods will usually merge the double post into one. At worst, we might send a friendly reminder to use the Edit Post button if we see a consistent pattern of double posting from one member.

      A duplicate post is another thing, and often it's either done on accident or at no fault of the user. We understand, sometimes internet connections suck, and sometimes mice are sensitive and double-click accidentally, and heck, the forum just plain glitches sometimes. We won't get mad at you for honest mistakes and accidents, but we do appreciate if you let us know when it happens by using the "Report Post" button below the duplicate post. Actually, I'm working on a script fairly soon that can scan recent posts and detect if a duplicate post has occurred, and either notifies the mods or (possibly) deletes the post automatically (though hopefully the glitch gets fixed before I have to implement it ).

      These are also not to be confused with "cross-posting" - copying/pasting the same thread into multiple subforums in order increase exposure - which is also against the rules. That, we usually will crack down on, since that's almost always entirely unnecessary.

      Rant: I have blood nose. I found a soda and it is flat.

      Will, I Also hope the duplicate posting stops soon too. May these duplicate posts someday turn into double rainbows.

      DreamVixen... I read your last post as 'gave myself a bloody nose. Found a sofa and it's flat.'
      I was wondering what kind of sofa is anything other than flat. Wondered if you meant its color or that it was broken
      Then I re-read (for a third time) and finally saw you actually wrote SODA
      Is it already THAT kind of day

      I'm now trying the advance reply function to see if that will, indeed, help.

      Rant: I have a sore spot on my back, lower left gum on my tongue side. I get them from time to time. I'll eat something a little too hard or whatever. It usually clears up within a couple days, but it's annoying for its duration.
      Rant: I'm still bloated. Miralax and fiber just give me gas... even with drinking 5-10 cups of water a day (64 ounces on a great day). I really think something's going on with my kidneys or bladder though. Every time I try to completely empty my bladder I feel like passing out. I even took an entire water pill yesterday, which made me feel REALLY good lol until close to bed time when I nearly passed out. Hmmmm...

      Rant: The coils for my e-cig have been dudding out much too quickly. I've been going through one box of 5 every week for the last 3 weeks

      Rave-ish: Been working on my canvas needle point some. It feels nice to do that again, but I REALLY hate doing the trim and I'm worried about my measurements because I doubled up on the canvas to see if that helps it live longer.

      Rant/Rave: I'm SUPER sleepy today so I'll probably take a caffeine pill... BUT I've been sleeping much better these last couple nights than I have in weeks.

      Rave: Been loving 7D2D. Made it to day 33, so far, without dying once. I have a large base and I've been trying out new ideas. I even opened it up to MP once I'm social enough to invite some of my Steam friends.

      Hope everyone's having a great day. Loved that double rainbow, DreamVixen

      **EDIT**
      The work-around worked, SpellBee. Thanks!

      ***EDIT***
      I figured out why I'm so sleepy. Mr. Monthly just arrived. And I was grumbling about it. Thought I was early, so I checked the calendar. I'm actually 3 days late

      LOL! The soda was gross tasting. My nose is a little-swollen nose. I tripped over something and my hit nose on the ground. It's okay my boyfriend is taking care of me. I'm a lucky girl!

      Edit: I'm exhausted.
      Edit 2: Going to get some solar glasses at the Planetarium Discovery Center tomorrow before there is no more left.

      Trump. That's all I need to say. God, when I read The Dead zone, I didn't realize it was about real life.

      Rave: I get my car back tomorrow hopefully. SO excited. My automobile is going to be getting a big hug!

      Rant: My second court appearance is scheduled tomorrow. I won't be able to make it though because it's 2 hours away and I have no car. I plan on contacting the court and telling them I'm really sick. Hopefully it goes through without any dramas. I'm a little nervous though.

      I hope your nose is all better, DreamVixen.
      Did you get out of court okay, Yuppie?

      Rant: 3 of our cats had kittens. We take 2 steps forward and 6 steps back All of Pumpkins babies died. She actually did a great job mothering them this time until the end. The fleas won.
      We can't find one set of kittens.
      Ash brought her babies inside the main house once they became mobile. I took a shower with one of them yesterday. He's adorable. Looks like there's Siamese in him. .... gotta go beat the dog.. (if only). I just took another shower with another kitten once it was discovered it had fallen prey to a "fly strike". I didn't see any wounds so I'll have to keep a close eye on it.

      Rant: when I said I was going to go beat the dog it was because I heard one of the babies cry. Sure enough, I got out there and it was covered in puppy slobbers. He keeps picking them up from the area Ash moved them in order to play. The one with the fly strike had been brought outside and left, by the puppy, at least 3 different times. I keep telling him "no" but he's not getting the picture. He's now tied up outside and barking his head off.

      Rave: I picked up my home sleep study machone earlier today. It's going to be interesting and I have no idea how I'm going to keep everything attached because I toss and turn so much.
      Rant: getting to the appointment was a massive undertaking. I fell asleep, while driving, several times. I've been sleeping from 12:30-7:50AM. I should not be THAT tired (Fitbit says I'm averaging about 3 hrs a night for all the tossing).

      Rant: I have been beside myself, seething in anger today. My daughter quit her job. The one I've been killing myself getting them to. And I had been so proud of her for finally growing up and "adulting".
      This dog is going to drive me insane... time to move the babies and get him back inside.

      Hope everyone's been well.

      Rant: I didn't exactly sleep that well last night, I only remembered 6 of my dreams last night with one lucid.

      I have the night and day AC thing too in the new AC but I guessed why The temp sensor is in the AC itself and outside heat conducts thru the case causing it to run more when the AC is in the sun regardless of the inside temp..another time I would opt for the temp sensor in the remote which would be well worth the extra few bucks it cost .

      Wow, DreamVixen! You're having one heck of a time aren't you Get better soon

      Wobly, that's interesting. Never thought of the sensors before. But, alas, I'm that way with central air and heating too. I'm just weird

      Rant: I have been fighting one heck of a headache off and on all day.

      Rave: But, despite having gotten much less sleep than usual, I woke up with a fair amount of energy, feeling okay, and only the teensiest bit cranky. I got on my game of a couple hours, did my taxi thing, ate fish with hubby, did some laundry (plus folded or hung up 90% of them) AND cleaned my room a little. PLUS, 2 of Mew's kittens were discovered at different times and the first was filthy and got a bath.

      Rave: My bell flower tree has finally flowered after some 4+ years

      Rave: The other day, while taxiing, I saw a stereotypical scene of a buzzard sitting on top of a dead tree with its wings out from its body but neither in flight nor at rest. Kind of like a "You want some of this punk!" pose Then, I saw either a fox or a coyote. I think it was a coyote because it seemed larger and its colors were a more muted/brownish/grayish than red. Because of the buzzard, I now have a marker to focus on during the drive and I keep an eye out for him. There aren't many groves of dead trees between here and there.

      Rant: I had one very small Slim Jim at around 1PM and I'm still getting reflux from it (Slim Jim belches ). That's all sorts of wrong.
      Rant: I'm still extra bloated even though the plumbing isn't broken any more. My stomach still isn't quite right (more often constipated than not).

      Meh: I should do my sleep study thing tonight... but there's no telling when I'll actually fall asleep. I didn't crash until 2:30AM "last night". With this headache, it can go either way.

      Curiosity: Looking into the sun is "bad" period. Why does everyone act as though looking at the Eclipse is similar to Lot's wife looking back and turning into a pillar of salt? It's no more dangerous to look at the eclipse than it is to look at the sun.
      So, I'm going to look at it. If I go blind, I'll have someone type my regrets here afterwards When I have certain types of headaches, looking into the sun is the only thing that offers relief. I stare anywhere from a few seconds to a couple minutes. Plus, I also looked at an eclipse when I was a kid of around 7. I'm not a believer of the dangers. Then again, hubby (the eye Doctor) tells me when I go blind, not to go crying to him... that even though I've not had to face my idiocy yet, it's bound to catch up to me. Hmmm...

      I am not even patient enough for this whole eclipse thing I want to look up the moment the sun's covered and be done with it.

      RANT: My drowsy driving is back IN FORCE. I fall asleep driving all the friggin time now. I'm looking into binaural beats again. They helped a smidge in the past. I slept from 1:20-7:54 AM and got the equivalent of 5hrs 57 mins of sleep. When I'm home, I feel fatigued but I'm not falling asleep at my desk. As soon as I'm driving for 15 minutes+, I start having trouble.
      It's friggin ridiculous.

      Rave? I hear back from the sleep study thing on the 28th of this month. Hopefully they'll schedule a real study and I can more properly combat this fatigue and strange sleeping. If nothing else, maybe I can get Provigil again. (one can hope )

      Rant: My knee is extra swollen and sore and my belly is extra bloated The other day, I had to climb over the side of the porch 4 times for those 2 kittens. I think that's what's wrong with my knee.

      Rave? The kittens are all doing very well. Mew and Ash take turns nursing them And Pumpkin babysits all the time.
      At the same time... healthy kittens mean healthy cats which means more friggin animals. I wish I'd win the lottery so I could spay all of them.

      Have a great day everyone! Hope y'all are getting to enjoy the eclipse.

      RANT: I am extra cold and super sleepy today... for no reason. It's 73 degrees outside and I have my space heater turned on

      I slept last night from 8-10:30PM; from 1:17-5:47AM; from 5:50-7:50AM. I'm looking at my Fitbit stats now.
      Seriously? I got 48minutes; 2hrs 51min; 48 min.
      So let's round up: 1 hour; 3 hours; 1 hour. How the heck can a person sleep THAT much and still only manage to get 5 hours worth of sleep I guess there's a reason I'm sleepy after all
      Time for some caffeine

      But why am I cold? No app for that lol

      Rave-ish: I ended up finding some patience and watched some of the eclipse. I even stared straight into the sun until the brightness burned off and I could see the crescent of the moon covering it. Then I quickly looked away. I've looked at the sun so often in my life that I didn't even have much of a lingering after image. I did not go blind.

      Heh, I almost forgot about Go Advance to keep from double posting!

      Here's two pics:
      errr....

      My stupid knee. One reason sleeping sucks.

      And then my pretty plant:
      https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=3&theater
      It's not the best image, but the only one I thought to take

      Hope everyone's having a great day.

      Grats on those pull-ups!! I can't even do the 2-handed variety

      Rave-ish: Guess who's awake after midnight Hubby is determined to go to the drive-in movies tomorrow. I figured I'd tough out tonight then sleep after my AM taxi duties so I'll be up for it. I'm about to have to take some caffeine though.
      (I took a long nap this afternoon which helps).

      Rant: I caved and stuck silver nitrate up my nose. What the heck are with these sores? They're on the bulbous (?) fleshy part, not against my face or high up. At least there's that

      Rant: I have had reflux to the max off and on (mostly on) all day. McD's breakfast did me in until 4PM... then Dominoes spinach stuffed cheesy bread killed me after 9:30PM.

      Rave: I have my heat turned on Soon the fleas shall be no more for another season or 2. I am SO looking forward to the colder months for just that reason.

      Rave? I get the results of my at-home sleep study on Monday. It can't get here fast enough.

      I hope everyone is staying safe out of the path of the hurricane

      Rave-ish: Hubby watched the trailers for those movies yesterday afternoon then called me to say we didn't have to go All that fighting sleep for nothing. I did it though
      I had horrible sleep from around 11AM-4PM yesterday. Then hubby called about the movies and we decided to go to our favorite Steak House instead. The steaks weren't nearly as good as they normally are but it was still pretty great. We picked Paula up from work after eating, went home then I went straight back to bed...

      Rant:... where I slept terribly from 11PM-6AM. I got 3 hours worth of sleep after all the tossing and turning. Then I fell back to sleep from 7:14-8:40 and it was the best sleep ever

      Rant: I'm getting that same sore on my gum again... the one that drove me crazy and I nitrated it I think I had the ones in my nose at the same time last time too. Maybe it's a cold sore virus or something?

      Rave? I might not have to pick Paula up from work tonight *WOOT/WOOT!* Her friend might bring her home after they hang out a while.

      Hope everyone is safe.

      Bah! Looks like I failed to use the Advance post option and then didn't realize after posting

      Rant-ish/Rave-ish: I definitely have sleep apnea. I stop breathing about 6 times an hour. An appointment's going to be made (in about 2 weeks) to have a proper sleep study done where they'll hook me up to different masks to see which one will work best for me. I have mixed feelings. I cannot imagine sleeping with a mask. But, if I sleep better I'm willing to try. If I'm still overly sleepy after using a CPAP for 3 months, they'll prescribe Provigil.

      Rant: The pup took one of the kittens outside last night (or it wandered out the door on its own). Paula was cranky and it was very dark outside. She stepped on it while going up the porch steps... then didn't tell anyone about it for goodness knows how long. She thought it was allowed to be outside. After she squished it, the kitten hissed at her then ran off so she thought it was okay. After learning what happened, Sis and I looked for it. It was hiding in some tall grass and meowed when I called for it. It had blood around its nose and pooped on me when it picked it up. I gave it a quick, but thorough once over, then placed it with its foster mom. It's still alive today and moving around. No more blood. ??? I still don't expect it to make it :/
      I guess it's passed time to find a bulb for outside.

      Rave: I didn't have time to eat before my appointment this morning. I wanted McD's or something, but it was only 10 and I'm not about to have their breakfast again anytime soon I thought about other options then chose Chinese. I've not gone to our local restaurant in years. All I could afford was some chicken fried rice (one of my fave things). The chicken was a little under cooked, but oh my goodness it was SO good.

      , everyone. stop hiding, y'all. It's getting lonely in here again.
