Aw thanks, Dot. I know I have worked in vets too, so it is common, but it makes me feel so weird and kinda worse when I take them- I don't want to harm him with them.

There is no alternative except to keep him away from these weeds so maybe I will try that first. That seems simple. It is weird he has never been this reactive to anything before...my one terrier would have sneezing fits too. It must be because dogs noses are far more sensitive to smells than ours that makses it more likely to happen-these fits of sneezing.

Hopefully when it starts raining again he will get better.

If you are wondering what it's like to be in an earthquake...

...it's a weird experience. It starts quiet then it slowly creeps up on you. First you feel your bed shake a little, then a lot. Then you notice the rattling sounds of breakables, it gets louder and louder, with the bones of your house creaking in protest. That's when it gets real! As everything continues shaking, your heart races, thoughts race, and a helpless primal panic sets in. First thoughts: Terrorists? North Korea? No explosion noises... it's an earthquake! SINK HOLE? GOD? You just ride it out and after a few moments your house settles and quiets... but not your heart. And not your neighbors. Your heart keeps beating hard while you still hear the earthquake outside, rattling the neighbors' houses, distancing itself, traveling away. The rattling of buildings gets quieter and quieter as it moves somewhere else. I think that part is because I'm on a hill, because when I'm on flat earth I've never noticed the effect of it moving away, it just seems to settle all at once.

Then you check social media, duh.

My brother just showed me Nicki Minaj's song "Anaconda." Please tell me nobody here likes that song. Please! :thumbdown:

I've never heard any of her songs before so I decided to give it a try... and these are my final thoughts: The intro reminds me of Roar from Katy Perry, (at least that's song is somewhat listenable). As soon as I heard her rap/sing, I closed my browser.

Just curious MickeyC did your brother actually enjoy listening that song?

Lordy! I've experienced a few tremors here—that's how Mother E. makes mountains, after all—but nothing like what you describe. You sure about this whole "living on the west coast" thing?

Also, are you okay?

Haha thankfully no damage here. The damage was mainly downtown in the older buildings. The stone siding of my friend's house crumbled off. That could've killed someone. Fortunately, everyone was safe in bed. Don't you have tornadoes? That is way worse.

We get warnings occasionally, but nothing ever turns up (so to speak). Too many bumps in the road, I guess. Glad you're all right, Dotz.

tired of not being able to be my true self around family and friends, they always think something is wrong with me.. my most happy times are when i'm all by my self on weekends doing nothing, having my own time.. but people don't understand why I want to be alone. they think i need to see a doctor or take medications, just because i want to be alone, in their minds there is something wrong with me...

 

[outofthisworld]

another random thought... why being the way we are isn't normal? what's normal? (might not make sense to some)

Normal, is being able to be yourself, and be happy. It seems rare, these days, becuase a lot of people, judge, are dperessed, etc.

I picture normal people who are people who can be theirself, without fear of judgement, or judging others. They accept people for who they are, and accept everyone is different.

We laugh, dance in the rain, be silly. We care for people, and try to help them in anyway we can. Normal, is being happy, happy with who you are, and everything in your life. It has nothing to do with wanting to be alone, and I can understand why you would want to be.

I know a guy who is very socially awkward, and feels really awkward around people. His parents aren't really there for him, so he spends a lot of his tim in his room, becuase it where he feels better, away from everything and everyone.

I got curious and checked it out.

What a masterpiece. I especially like the insightful commentary about society in the lyrics. And how she took Sir Mix-a-Lot's 'Baby Got Back,' the most influential song of the nineties and dare I say it; all of our lives, and made it worse.

Figured I'd check it out since you mentioned it. I made it one minute through then had to cleanse my ears with some Metal.

These are not musicians, that is not music.

It's brain-washing pure and simple by the powers that rule and the fact that you don't like it is Great!!

They think they can make sex so important in the eyes of the hormone driven populous that they will be too stupid to know that they are being fooled by a "waving a-s-s", which is all she is, and what you become when you watch her-A stupid a-s-s

Musically freakin' genius! Those lyrics were Springsteen-esque... Pfft! Sorry, couldnae keep a straight-face tae make that statement even remotely convincing.

Though, ah do huv 3 words tae sum up that song: Tragic. Sad. Pish. :bigsmile:

Right, I'm going to listen to some music that's actually good. :thinking: Kylie Minogue - that'll do.

I've never heard any of her songs before so I decided to give it a try... and these are my final thoughts: The intro reminds me of Roar from Katy Perry, (at least that's song is somewhat listenable). As soon as I heard her rap/sing, I closed my browser.

Sounds like it's unanimous! Haha. I also had to listen to metal to clean out my ears.

Fate, my brother doesn't like her, which is why he was also curious, haha.

As bad as the song is, it's the video that disturbs me. It's about as close to porn as you can get with overt female sexualisation. It was actually starting to turn me on, so imagine what it would do to a young boy (or girl)? Crazy!

The Californian earthquake reached our news, too. Hopefully there's not too much damage.

That fault line is ready to explode, though....

Happy as can be!

You're in a good mood! I like to see this.

I want to overload all of my senses with pleasure so I can't think or feel anything of the things that hurt.

Does anyone else wish it was possible to have life be like a video game. I talking about having progress/loading bars for things, stats, showing how much experience (in numbers, like in video games) you have received for a certain skill almost every time you do something (exercise, read, etc). Having every possible skill with levels, total xp so far, max xp, max level, etc.

It's just, I really like those kinds of things in video games. Skills, levels, experience, things requiring levels. I really like being able to level up and I like all the visual feedback that games give you. And also being able to get access to new, cool things. And being able to see how close you are to getting something new and better.

And it seems like there are tons of people who really like these things as well. It's the whole point of some games. I played Runescape for years when I was younger. So did thousands of other people. Millions of people play/played WoW.

I just wonder, if there was a way to add that in to life, if people would become addicted to becoming better at lots of different things--leveling up--in real life, instead of in video games.

I think this is what they call gamification

My health status is well into the red atm :/

 

[Still_Waters]

What I'm feeling now is that my life can change for the better if I let it. I am not destined to be a loner forever and I can combat my agoraphobia once and for all. Things are only looking better because in spite of all the hurdles around me, I am looking up. I won't be a slave to my condition anymore. I want to help that I need so I can be a contributing member of society.

 

[springk]

I wonder if I am the only one who searches really odd things on google, like:
" what to do when bored"

 

[Pacific_Loner]

^Probably not
