Tenacious_Peaches Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 I like your blog...it's very funny. Thank you, Jenny. There is nothing more pretentious or useless than a person with nothing to say having a blog. That's me in a nutshell. Tim, I love that piece! “I don’t mean to rap for white people. I don’t want to make white people happy.†“Of course you don’t, Kanye, nobody wants white people to be happy.†Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Baloni Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Here's a random question: Does anybody else ever just wake up in middle of the night and can't move or breath? It used to happen to me all the time, and then it stopped, but just last night it happened again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 you mean like a panic attack? I think that happened to me once years ago, after a particularly vivid dream... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Does anybody else ever just wake up in middle of the night and can't move or breath? Sounds symptomatic of death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Sleep Paralysis ? "Paralysis: this occurs after waking up or shortly before falling asleep. The person cannot move any body part, cannot speak, and only has minimal control over blinking and breathing. This paralysis is the same paralysis that occurs when dreaming. The brain paralyzes the muscles to prevent possible injury during dreams, as some body parts may move during dreaming. If the person wakes up suddenly, the brain may still think that it is dreaming, and sustains the paralysis." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 I've read accounts of alien abductions where the people say they wake up and are unable to move or breathe. And they're are immobilized thusly until they're squired away to the waiting space ship. I don't make this stuff up. Someone else does. I just read it.

RonJonSurfer Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Here's a random question: Does anybody else ever just wake up in middle of the night and can't move or breath? It used to happen to me all the time, and then it stopped, but just last night it happened again. It happens to me. You wake up and you are very aware of the fact that you can't move...it usually doesn't cause me to stop (or feel like I've stopped)breathing. It happens to me mainly when I'm not in a deep sleep. I'm usually zoning out on the couch with the TV on...I'm aware of all around me, but I can't move my arms...I have to force myself through it then all is OK.

Tony Baloni Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 After someone's had the same avatar for a while, doesn't it sort of seem like that's what they look like? For instance, I can't picture Kevin looking like anything else other than Igor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foolonthehill Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Definetly. I get really confused when people change their avatars. :beady: but then again, I guess that means that I look like a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 (edited) ^^ Yes. I posted somewhere else that I still think you look like your Keith Moon avatar. ^ At least you look like a cool car. And sorry for changing my avatar again.

bluesboy Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I usually put up old blues and jazz artists in my avatar because you wouldn't probably see their picture otherwise. Sometimes I find a good outdoor picture and sometimes I'll put my picture up in my avatar. I like to change it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farin Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 random thought: seeing Bloof's location I see that "being on cloud nine" means "to be extremely euphoric, content, etc." in German we have that saying too, but here it's "auf Wolke Sieben" (on cloud seven) I think that's interesting... does anyone know where this difference comes from? and does anyone know if there's something similar in French, Spanish, or some other language?

Lucky Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 That is interesting. We here in the US are on cloud 9 as well. Does that mean that y'all are hovering just slightly below us in the atmosphere? edna honey, if you were on a cloud what number would it be??

Shawna Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 does anyone know where this difference comes from? and does anyone know if there's something similar in French, Spanish, or some other language? from worldwidewords.org: [Q] From Ernie Epp: “What is the origin of the expression cloud nine for a very happy person?†[A] The phrase to be on cloud nine, meaning that one was blissfully happy, started life in the United States and has been widely known there since the 1950s; it’s since spread worldwide. It’s said to have been popularised by the Johnny Dollar radio show of that period, in which every time the hero was knocked unconscious he was transported to Cloud Nine. But that wasn’t the origin of the phrase. It’s been around since the 1930s, though early examples show a lot of numerical variability, with the cloud sometimes being as low as number seven or eight or as high as thirty-nine, though seven and nine were most common. These discrepancies make me suspect the usual explanation of its origin, which is that it comes from the US Weather Bureau. The story is that this organisation describes (or once described) clouds by an arithmetic sequence. Level Nine was the very highest cumulonimbus, which can reach 30,000 or 40,000 feet and appear as glorious white mountains in the sky. So if you were on cloud nine you were at the very peak of existence. The term has always had close associations with the euphoria that is induced by certain chemicals — alcohol in its earlier days but more recently crack cocaine — so perhaps we shouldn’t ask for too great a level of exactness in counting. And the cloud here is an obvious reference to some drug-induced dreamy floating sensation. But I suspect, without having anything so restricting as evidence, that seven was chosen because it’s a traditional lucky number and that today’s more usual nine appears for similar reasons — for example it also turns up in dressed to the nines and the whole nine yards.
