      I have been diagnosed as either having clusters or chronic migraines. Either way, I have been in full remission since my first acid trip.

      The ego death MAY be on here. It's something I don't try to explain too much solely because I don't want people to assume that's how it always is. I have induced several, minor ones sense to keep myself in check, but the first was jarring.

      My entire post was just deleted. Fuck you DV.... Seriously when are you going to remove this stupid 10 minute timeout thing or whatever it is? NO OTHER WEBSITE DOES THIS!

      Basically, I had a revelation and.... fuck that bitch. People (other Lankans no less) confirmed my convictions. She is a terrible person for not telling me.

      I also responded to a tonne of posts from Dianeva (basically agreeing with everything you said) and Alyzarin, but can't remember what I said exactly to you both right now.

      I do remember that I said "yep, you should do LSZ", Aly.

      So it's not just me? I thought I just had some settings messed up that I would get logged out all the time. Honestly, it's the reason I don't "like" very many posts. The site just logs me out all the time, and I can't be bothered to log in again.

      Hell, sometimes I don't even post stuff because by the time I submit my reply, I've been logged out. And again... I can't be bothered to log in again. I'm incredibly lazy.

      Edit: But Minecraft was just annoying. I actually wanted to play, but "grass grass grass grass grass stone grass grass grass gravel gravel gravel water there's water water ladder ladder ladder ladder ladder ladder ladder ladder ladder ladder ladder ladder stone stone stone stone stone" was just a tad too annoying. I went to my skeleton XP farm and just heard "AjAJFGOEAfjeaj JIFEJo FE JIfj E FJHhe FUHEUHUFhu efhpwew hfgh HUFGEHUHHHUFHEhf fHEUHFUHEhfuehfuweddwjij1."

      haha. Nope, not just you, many people have complained about it.

      I posted a thread in the meta forum a while ago. Said I was to occupy the thread until it was changed (it was during the Occupy protests lol).

      Of course mods mostly ignored it....


      Oh yeah, another thing that I was supposed to say in the deleted post,
      Anju, first, what is that skype group?
      Second, I get all that family stuff. If you need to talk to someone who gets it, feel free to PM me.
      And congrats on the progress with your crush, that's great! And regarding talking too much and almost making a fool of yourself,
      I personally find that pretty cute, and I'm sure a lot of other guys do as well, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

      Oh and a slight rave I should have added to my lost post: One of those girls who has a crush on me is turning 18 in a couple of weeks.
      She mentioned it within obvious audible range to me, to someone she barely talks to.
      Honestly I just find that cute. It's pretty funny.

      Also dat ass....

      Ya i agree about the time limit thing when you get to be online it logs off automatically....plus the saved content doesn't always save all your words.....by the time your done u click submit and u go back to logging in again...use the saved content and realize its missing 2 -3 lines. Then you forget what u last wrote and how verbatim it was....i used to highlight all my words and click copy before i submit because i knew i was too long writing and thinking for it to go through....so i copy and paste. LOL

      That 'setting' is not pressing the 'remember me' button next to the login section. No worries, I've had this happen before, haha.

      I'm sure I'm missing something key here, but I don't understand why you can't just hit 'remember me'. That's what I always do and nothing bad has happened. Unless other people use your computer who also sign onto DV.

      I somehow managed to play it for like 2 hours last night. It did get really annoying... just what you're describing. At first I was walking around, looking for all the animals to see what they'd say, then it got annoying. It started raining and I actually had to cheat with /weather clear because it was like "RAINRAINRAINRAINRAINRAINRINRAIN" and it wasn't going to stop. Then, we have this waterfall near the front door, and it's like "THERE IS WATER HERE! WATER! WATER, THERE IS WATER HERE!!" Oh god... just STFU. Around the 5th or so time the cow voices started singing the Minecraft song I couldn't take it anymore.

      Today I realized how pathetic I am.
      I've recently enrolled in college (about 2 months I think) and things were going fairly well apart from making no friends in my class (I'm kinda shy and nervous about interacting with people, I have few friends) and speaking to almost none of my classmates (aside from very short casual chatter when someone would sit by me which has happened like 3 times). I was attending to class as usual and the teacher was explaining eletric fields (I'm studying computer science and we have physics classes). I was taking notes as normal until the teacher told us to form groups. I beggan feeling uneasy as I didn't know anyone. The teacher would distribute one question to each group and each group would have to go to the front of the class, solve and explain it.
      I just stayed behind the computer (we were in a lab with computers) hoping that no one would notice me. It worked until the teacher noticed me. He silently pointed to me while staring at me, then pointed to the group besides me. I started to grow even more nervous as I wasn't sure how to approach them. The questions were about something we studied back in school sometime ago and wasn't that fresh in my head and I hadn't studied properly yet (I'm quite the procastinator... I admit, I should have began studying by now). Basically I had no fucking idea about what to do. I didn't want to come of as a lazy asshole and just ask them for the answers. I felt so useless as I silently watched them solve the problem.
      "Well, they will have to choose one person to explain, they probably won't choose me." is what I tought. Couldn't have been more wrong. The teacher proceeded to explain how each of us would take a random piece of paper with a number on it and the one with the highest number would explain. Not only that, if the person couldn't solve the question properlly it would be like everyone in the group got the question wrong. Basically someone fucks up, thats it for the rest of the people. The pressure was so much I was about to cry. My heart was beating faster. I was shaking. I was considering leaving the class, which wasn't really a big deal in my college I guess. I could just sneak out when the teacher wasn't looking and he probably wouldn't give a fuck (or maybe wouldn't even notice) but my classmates would be like "Bro the fuck are you going". Well, in the end I pretended to have to asnwer a phone call and just took my stuff with me and bailed. I then took a bus home.
      Yeah, I never felt this pathetic. I always aknowledged that I suck at interacting with people but god dammit. I don't know if I will survive in this world. I'm not gonna give up tough. All I want is to get my degree and videogames.
      I'm such a failure as a human being, god damm.
      By the way sorry for the huge ass text, rude language and possibly bad english (hadn't had much practice recently).

      I completely sympathize with this way of thinking and have been in similar situations. All I can say, which is advice for myself as well is, YOU NEED TO GAIN CONFIDENCE. Just realize nothing that it seems matters, really matters. It doesn't matter what they think of you. Stop worrying so much. Nothing is as serious as it seems. You're just trapping yourself for no reason. Stop taking social matters so seriously, only then do they usually start falling together.

      Sorry for the hassle guys.

      @tommo - I looked for your previous post about this in meta, and didn't find it. Could you please point me to it?
      Also, not fair to say that we ignore things. Every meta thread is read and replied to . Whats fixable on-site, we fix. Such as your previous request to be able to include more than 1 video per post. What's not fixable on-site, maybe you guys have noticed that that's Swakes territory.

      @ everybody with logging out problem
      Could you please check if you clicking the "remember me" check box and if that fixes it. If not, could you please post in 'Bugs and fixes..." http://www.dreamviews.com/meta-forum...rt-2-a-15.html and include details, such as browser, PC, mac, mobile... and such. Swake reads that and does what he can.

      Also, if you for some reason navigate away from your post before you post it, it's still salvageable. Just return to the thread you were replying to and open a new quick reply window. You will see a small text on left bottom, something like "retrieve saved text". Click and your post will be filled in. You can see the yellow text on right bottom part of the window that says "auto-saved". It saves every 60 sec.

      I bet it's still there, tommo.

      We love this forum same as you guys do, and we wanna do our best for you all. So if your post goes unanswered, PM me or Ophelia and we will do what we can.

      The autosave thing has saved me a couple times now from losing posts.

      About the logging out, 'remember me' always works, but I think the people who are having problems don't want to hit that, for whatever reason. I'm honestly not sure why. Maybe due to privacy concerns.

      But that situation is rare. Apart from special circumstances, everyone should be able to hit 'remember me'. If you aren't, then it's for some personal reason, and imo DV shouldn't really feel obligated to cater to that. I think it's kind of assumed that frequent members are hitting 'remember me'. I mean I have multiple reddit accounts and so I don't hit 'remember me' after signing in and it can get kind of frustrating when I upvote a post and it tells me I'm not signed in. But that's my problem so I don't consider reddit to have a shitty interface... they assume you'll hit 'remember me', just as DV does.

      I have that problem whenever I forget to hit "remember me" (after cleaning my cookies and getting logged out). I always use the remember me function but I don't share a computer so it's no big deal (I mean, I occassionally share it with my kids, but they're DV ignorant )

      I thought you were being funny, Dianeva, in your first post about the cows. But then Sefalik posted and I had to log on to see what the hubbub was about April Fool's! hehehe. It made my game wayyy too glitchy (or perhaps that's just my comp ) I ran into your chicken pen, Dianeva, when some zombies showed up. I lost three of them, but then I threw eggs until 3 more showed up. Then I waited for the sun to rise. The zombie saying "ouch, ouch" really made my night
      Oh that and the "ping" noise whenever you release an arrow

      It's not as great as the Hulu April Fool's. I love a show called Hannibal (you know, the cannibal). Hulu sent me an email saying that because of popular demand, it was created a spin-off "In the kitchen with Hannibal" It was great.

      My rant is that I didn't wake up til 8PM But it's not really a rant. I prefer being awake these hours. I didn't fall asleep until almost noon.
      My daughter, Destinee, came home. She brought a friend with her who's emancipated, 17 and homeless. That could mean problems for my oldest boy because he's not supposed to be around anyone under 18. But she's emancipated so I don't know if it counts. He doesn't care to find out because she doesn't have anywhere else to go.

      Then daughter and friend went to work and came back with two more friends So all four will be crowded into a small bedroom at the back of the house. The other 2 are adults (a couple) and her ride to work. They're staying here for a few days to save on gas.
      As long as they don't bug me, I'm okay with whomever crashing here. But I told her, we live in a hellhole and can't support everyone (can hardly support ourselves) but they're good for their own food. We have no working kitchen though... I mean, we still have a crockpot and an electric skillet and microwave, but with our tiny fridge cooking is very limited. You have to turn the sink on with pliers because the knobby broke off...

      Why would anyone choose to stay here? It's very suspicious to me lol, but there's nothing they're getting out of it so it must be on the up and up (and I know the guy and he seems like a decent bloke).

      A rave is that hubby and I might not being going on our trip. He's having second thoughts because he's not been feeling well and wants to save his money for Kansas. He asked if I'd be disappointed if we didn't go and I had to hold in laughter. I told him "I'm a homebody and always happy to stay at home " With extra people in the house, I'll be doubly happy to stay here.
      Hubby may put his foot down and say no. After his home (used for storage) was burned up a few years ago by punks, he's even more paranoid about having anyone on the property.

      Blah...

      I was like this for sometime, then in the end i realized it was getting annoying and they just want to get under my skin >_>

      I guess you are right, I am creating these situations by myself... I will try to gather confidence and worry less about what others think of me. Things won't change over the night I guess but I hope I will get better as time goes on.
      By the way thank you guys for taking the time to read and reply. It really makes me feel better already and I've gained a little confidence. You guys are great

      I think Extended Discussion needs more news and current events and less conspiracy theory. Don't get me wrong, I love conspiracy theories, but not so many, and especially not so revolving around taking guns away and oppressing christians. Just satan'

      Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.

      Yeah I know about that. It should be default though.
      I never keep my cookies, they clear every time I close my browser. And I usually browse any social site in private mode anyway.

      Yep. And once you start not caring so much, you are more confident (obviously), and people don't treat you the same way.

      Perfect example. Foreign girl was barely talking to me, didn't smile like she did at first etc. I talked to her today and she was happy and talking and laughing like normal people do.

      I've been wondering recently why I basically haven't talked to anyone in Uni (just a few short conversations) and people seem to dislike me, and I realised yesterday or the day before that it's because I lost my confidence (due to all that shit which is irrelevant to this discussion). I only know one person's name, I didn't introduce myself to anyone besides the teachers and nobody knows my name.

      If you haven't even introduced yourself and talked just a tiny little bit, people are not going to care about you. It's obvious when you think about it; they don't know you at all.

      Also don't get disheartened if you do this and some people still don't like you.
      Another example, I talked to this other person in another class and she seemed like she was kinda wierded out.
      And yeah, that's what made me realise, I didn't even tell her my name. I don't know her name. So when we started talking about classes and other stuff, it creates a weird feeling.

      If you are happy and approachable, 70% (estimate based on experience) of people will trust you immediately, and will like you.
      If you're awkward or whatever, it's irrelevant. Play off of it and just be weird! People will like you and trust you.
      This doesn't mean you're good friends, people are just very trusting in general, and like to talk to other people.

      You make friends by whittling down the previously mentioned people. Once you talk more, you either realise they aren't your type of person, or you aren't theirs, or whatever. Remember that, it's important.

      @tommo - I looked for your previous post about this in meta, and didn't find it. Could you please point me to it?
      Also, not fair to say that we ignore things. Every meta thread is read and replied to . Whats fixable on-site, we fix. Such as your previous request to be able to include more than 1 video per post. What's not fixable on-site, maybe you guys have noticed that that's Swakes territory.
      Can't really be bothered to find it right now, tbh. It doesn't really matter, sorry if I sounded critical of you guys!
      I know you try, it just kind of annoys me when people get dismissive responses to things which a lot of people have issues with.
      It's only a few of the mods who do this, not all of you.

      This is the thing. It shouldn't be necessary to click "remember me" every time. It should either be selected by default, or the default cookie-expiry time should be much longer, like at least 30 minutes or an hour. The 10 minutes or whatever it's set to is ridiculous.

You can see the yellow text on right bottom part of the window that says "auto-saved". It saves every 60 sec.

      I bet it's still there, tommo.
      Yep, I'm really glad that feature was implemented, it's saved me frustration quite a few times now.

      It didn't work yesterday though, I tried what you said last night (i.e before posting again) and it just loaded the quotes I'd selected without any of my text.

      Just "satan"???? Bit of a Freudian slip there buddy? Or did you forget to lie? You are satan himself, I fucking know it. Don't try to hide anymore.....
      coming in here with your devil, hippy ideas trying to turn us in to sinners.... I'm on to you mate.


      Rave: I finally answered a question off the cuff from one of the lab supervisors.
      It felt really good. We were doing fermentation today, and I was about to do one of the steps, when she comes running up to me
      and says "wait!, wait!, stop". She said I need to fill the test tube all the way to the brim. I wasn't really sure if I should or not, so I just filled a cm or so below the brim.

      She asked "why do you think it need to be filled all the way?". I didn't know and just kind of thought for a bit.
      She then asked "what kind of reaction is this?" and I thought and said "fermentation"
      She then asked "so why should it be filled the whole way?" or something like that and I thought and said "oh, yeah it needs to be anaerobic".

      Fucking hell yes!
      She understands the Socratic method. Barely any teachers get that. You don't give people answers, you ask them questions which cause them to figure out the answer by themselves.

      My group supervisor does a similar thing, but not as well. She asks closed questions instead of open questions.
      Fortunately she's super pretty so I try to come up with good, full answers.
      I'm pretty sure she thinks I'm retarded though.
      She said she would give us a small talk about a few things for our essay, in another room, and somehow I just completely missed it.
      What the fuck? I honestly can't even comprehend how that happened. My whole group of 20 or so people was gone for 5-10 minutes and I had absolutely no idea.
      How does that even happen?

      I also continually fuck up my graphs and today I missed that we were supposed to record the results every 5 minutes instead of 10 like the lab thing said.
      So I didn't fill the table or graph.
      But she's really funny, every time I do something wrong, or my work is really messy and that sort of thing, like today I hand in my graph and table and I say "I completely screwed it up" and she's just like "that's okay!" in a really comforting and happy and reassuring way.
      Like.... it really doesn't matter if it looks like shit or all this stuff is crossed out and whiteout everywhere, only the results matter and if I understand it.
      I dunno, she's really weird, but I like it, haha.

      RANT: Have to do a presentation next week....
      Gotta acquire some xanax.
      We're doing it in "groups" of 3, but we're each doing separate presentations, which doesn't really make sense for me.
      On the plus side, we're only presenting to 3 people, plus the teacher I assume, and those 3 people mark us.

      We did something similar in high school where the class marked us, and there were parameters like "body language" and stuff.
      I put my hand in my pocket, but quickly remembered I wasn't supposed to do that and took it out, but they still took off a mark for it.
      I'll probably get a shitty mark, but it's worth 5% or something so I have to at least try.

      HELP NEEDED!!!! Just in case anyone is skimming and sees this. Has anyone got any ideas for a presentation?
      We are allowed to be as creative as possible. They said one person last year made a little video game. (I don't have time to do that).
      Any ideas are very, very appreciated. Specifically any ideas which would reduce anxiety and make it fun for me.
      I've considered dressing up in a virus costume, but NFI how I would make that.
      Seriously, give me any ideas, even completely stupid and infeasible ones. I'll make something out of them!

      and best of luck to you, Tommo. Sorry I don't have any off the wall ideas though.

      My rant is that I am exceptionally sleepy. I'll be heading to bed after this. I also have to play the bad guy and let Destinee's friends know they have to leave They didn't stay over last night but planned on staying tonight (though they haven't spoken to me once to get my approval or disapproval). Hubby said no. Blah.
      I also learned that my youngest daughter admitted to a friend that she had a major role in the burning down of the storage house. Jerry's always suspected her, but I've always told him she wouldn't do something like that. But she did... unless she was just talking herself up to be big and bad.
      I don't even know anymore....

      My car battery died while waiting for my son. I had the engine off but the battery running so I could listen to the radio. I guess an hour is too long for that lol. Some other guy at counseling jumped my car, so it all worked out. I have AAA too which was my next course of action.

      **EDIT**
      Bah! Got my second wind. I'll be awake for a while now. Some of it was caused by hubby's assiness. He wanted the couple GONE. I told them they had to leave, but then they were taking their time. 30 minutes later (and 3 calls from hubby later), I told them they had to leave then and there. I hate being an asshole.
      Hubby said he'd call the cops if they weren't gone then and there. He's so friggin paranoid it's hard to tolerate sometimes.

      Then he said "I'm sorry if they get insulted because we like our privacy" I told him "Speak for yourself, white man" and he said he doesn't like people on his... no our property at all hours of the day and night.
      He had it right the first time. HIS property. It's really hard to keep a humble/subservient sort of attitude about all this all the time.

      I tell myself: "You are cared for, April. You are cared for. Don't get greedy. He's the one who works his ass off at work. He's the one who earned all of this. So suck it up."
      Miley overheard parts of our conversation, though and she said "What an ass." *smack* Not really, but I wanted to My kids are completely opposite of me. I think that's neat sometimes... cycles and extremes.

      I'm the way I am because my parents had brutal fights over money. They fought over the smallest, stupidest things. I swore I would NEVER be like them. I became the nicest, biggest doormat of a person. My kids are nothing like me and are more like my parents Probably in large part because I'm such a pushover and they came to hate that.

      Ugh... After the couple left, I took a shower. Everyone had left (even my daughter and her 17 yo friend). Miley told me they went to the store but wouldn't trip the alarm when they came back. So I went to bed. I woke up at 3 and when I went to the fridge to get a coke, I heard 3 female voices coming from my daughters room. I ignored them and went back to my room, but when my daughter walked by sometime later, I asked her if Nikki was back. Yep. Seriously? "But mom, she has nowhere else to go and she's pregnant." "Fine. I tell her. But if you're caught," I told her "I want you to realize that I'll be homeless right along beside the rest of you."

      And then the kids get all up in arms, calling my hubby a paranoid asshole. That may be the case, but it's his property, his rules. And by going behind his back and letting people stay here, I would be betraying him and his confidence.
      I'm about ready to kick all of them out.

      Everything went great during pe

      My scars were really visible. I'm pretty sure atleast two of my friends saw them while we were changing.
      But they didn't ask me about it. There were about 60 people in our pe class and I think a few girls noticed them as well.

      Because I used to have a heart disease, my doctor wrote me a note saying that I can quit pe whenever I feel ill.
      And after about 30 mins I started feeling really dizzy and nauseous, probably because it was quite hot in there.
      So I told my teacher and I was allowed to sit on the sides. And a few minutes later, I got changed and wore my hoodie again.

      So tbh, it wasn't really that bad, all though I feel like a few people saw them though. I just don't know what to think of it.
      But atleast no one pointed them out or asked me about it so I guess that's a good thing.
      And if anyone might ask me about it, I'll just stick with my story. That I scratched myself by moving a fence at my dad's work.
      Hopefully they'll believe me.
