Well, I hope that person gets caught and it all gets fixed soon

I have suffered too many head injuries for me to even remember, my nose is bent and no one even knows what exactly did it. Weird thing is, I cant do the meditation part, but if I am working on some task, I still get hyper focused, I lose all concept of hunger and sleep, I often snap out of it because my sweat or drool hits the table or the sheet of stuff I am working on

Same, though it grew more than 4 times its size easily here

My body cant even decide if it wants to stay sick or not, every thing is confused

It may have already happened! This is the longest we've gone since it began after all deposits in and bills paid without unauthorized transactions. We can hope.

I don't know if you realize it, but that hyper focus is a form of trance, a meditative state. Biofeedback is a task so yep, it may be just the thing you're looking for. I hope your days of such injuries are long done.

1/4 size to present is the same as growing 4 times it's size since we moved here.... The only reason it slowed down for awhile was the housing bubble bust and now there is a huge shortage of housing and apartments and they're building like crazy. HOWEVER, they have NOT added any new roads and have instead taken lanes out of commission for "traffic calming" projects that just result in gridlock.

IKR? I just keep telling myself, we'll survive this too... and muddle through somehow. Speaking of weather patterns, I always suspected solar activity has a greater impact than is being discussed. This article on how it triggers earthquakes shows it does that and much more. Earthquakes...huh. We are at solar maximum right now and have been for a bit over a year.

Ready to join the eyeball brigade over in Red's thread?

Phew, I hope it all gets resolved soon

I can do it when I am working on something, but it fails me in meditation, plus it takes a huge ton of energy out of me. And I hope so, though the back injury says otherwise XD

Oh damn, thats horrible honestly, and yeah, that happened here too, traffic is horrible right now

I really hope that the correlation isnt huge here, cause a major earthquake or volcano would hurt us severely in this day and age. THough speaking of solar activity, if it werent for my back, I would've traveled to Canada in winter to watch auroras, hell, a friend even invited me to Russia which could've given a nice opportunity

I just rushed through that challenge, only one of those avis I made up from scratch. Getting enough time has been a challenge these days. I am loving what others are making though

With a bit of luck it already has. Only time will tell.

What, you expect fresh injuries on top of what you're already dealing with? eek Trying to focus on nothing at all is likely what is hanging you up. Having something hold your full attention is the first step. I have a funny story on how I found out I can focus on nothing at all..... for a few years I was playing poker in casinos. Early on, I decided to do a full bluff and the person who was betting against me was trying to figure out if I was or not. He studied me for tells for quite a few minutes and I let myself think of nothing at all except my feeling of amusement. It worked, he decided I wasn't bluffing and I won a pretty good hand. I later found a better way to keep people from getting tells off of me at another game with different people; place my full focus on the person reading me and showing my feelings in reactions to him trying to read me and sharing that was what I was doing. It totally unnerved the person reading me. lol The key to meditating is much the same as to keeping from giving tells during a poker game or other situations where you don't want to give away your thoughts and feelings. I have come across meditative techniques that focus on sound or music. None of those appeal to me but they work for a lot of people. There are so many different approaches because no two of us are wired the same way. Anyhow you may as well keep trying different things that may help and won't hurt; just don't go in with the expectation it will fail; your subconscious will insure it will. Why is hyper focus draining to you? Finding the answer to that may also be a key to getting around the block.

It's one reason we plan to leave this region one day. It is nightmarish, very dangerous. We have one of the highest auto accident rates in the country and it's only getting worse. So is road rage. But it could be worse....like Wash DC...*shudder* That was a thousand times more dangerous and I recommend that if you ever visit there to not take a car.

Did you read the article? The research points to a specific kind of quake. The correlation appears to be solid though, long observed. As for such events happening in modern times; it has many times already regardless of solar activity. I can remember offhand at least 20 such events in my lifetime with huge impacts, some global. We live on an active planet; it has allowed for life to thrive but also has these side effects. One of the most recent....remember the huge quakes in Japan that caused huge tsunamis and the meltdowns of several nuclear power plants? I'm just glad that when the resulting radioactive plume reached us, it was fairly diluted and the tsunami waves caused minimal loss of life along coasts near us. They even brought salt water way inland, into my region a long ways from the ocean.

I would love to see the aurora some day. We actually had one here, a rare once in 500 year one last year but I missed it because the news and NASA said it might come as far as southern Ore. and so we didn't look. It showed clearly all the way down into Baja CA and into Mexico across the continent! I kept hoping for a repeat but when it happened, it was cloudy and rainy a week or so later. So I've yet to see it. Going north to see it one day would be wonderful.

It is handy sometimes to have a copy of all your past creations; I have years of mine too. I have used them on occasion when I didn't have time to make them from scratch, at least one or two, never all of them though. They're handy when there is a creative block too. You could later in the month create new ones and swap them out for the older ones too. Fortunately Red is cool about us using older avies if they fit and we actually made them. I love what everyone is coming up with too. Why so little free time?

Right now I am hoping to be better enough to be out for long enough, but once I am, I am quite clumsy.
Focus on nothing, or just focusing on one thought is hard, my mind races around too much. I suck at poker kind of stuff too XD But if its something like you asked me a question and read me the 4 options, if you know the answer, I can tell which one it is by focusing hard on tiny variation of your voice. That kind of focus and concentration is draining both mentally and physically. Meditation is sort of relaxed kind of focus, mine is what you would get in a fight

I am a bit more understanding of Taylor Swift taking private jet everywhere in that case XD

Honestly, I dont understand quakes enough to tell the 2 apart and which part happens where. Damn O__O and yeah, major ones of that magnitude happen quite a lot, but I am more worried about the ones waking a volcano and changing weather for a whole year if not more kind of thing sort of major

Apparently it was visible here too, but light pollution is so much that we could never see it in city. Hell, we've trouble seeing stars some times. Going north in the winter is the way to do it honestly

I mostly save basic templates instead of complete avis, but my storage is full and gaia wont let us buy more closet space, that has been the biggest hurdle to my avi making. Life is busy in general, studying, physiotherapy, exercise, that combined with me being sleepy cause of it, and still recovering from being sick so more sleepy than usual....and had a pokemon go major event and with everything else going on, time spent there can take weeks to recover from and get to normal schedule

Spinal damage can cause that, but it may not be the only thing contributing to that. Check your center of gravity, is it centered properly? An easy test is to stand with your eyes closed and see if you sway or tilt in any direction. Common causes if that happens are fixable; your skull sitting on your neck alignment is off (PT or chiropractor can help) or there's an inner ear problem or the spinal damage is pressing on some key nerves in your spinal chord. I know if my axis is off, I get very clumsy, bumping into all kinds of stuff, jamming my hands reaching for stuff and this is all without feeling dizzy. I do that test to see if that is the problem and it usually is.

Oh I see. I didn't even think of that, but yeah, in crisis mode I go in to a very sharp focus to get through it and yes, that is draining as the adrenaline is flowing full. Doing that to simply read a situation that is not an emergency is something I wouldn't do. Your block seems to prevent you from focusing without the adrenaline rush; it is something learned though and could be unlearned. So it's difficult for you to fully focus say on a good book or movie or music, to immerse (without the adrenaline rush of a thriller that is)?

LOL, yeah, we all wish we had those kind of resources to avoid the mess.

The part of the continent I live on is volcanically active, on the ring of fire. So it makes sense I'd learn all about this kind of thing. There are two not too far away (within 700 miles) that are not quiescent. One is giving off bouts of sulfur dioxide which is deadly, and the other is active but underwater, just off the coast. There is the potential for 4 more to erupt in my lifetime and one has, Mt St Helen. But like earthquakes, there are always a few volcanoes erupting at any given time on earth. In the past 35 years there have been at least two that did change the weather worldwide; one in Iceland and Mt Pinatubo in the Philippines. I seem to remember vaguely one or two more that had a smaller impact on global weather. But why worry about inevitable but infrequent events when there are just as damaging and deadly events happening much more frequently, like many times a year?

I don't save templates but use my journal to take notes on what I did. This way I never run out of closet space. Only avies not yet used or in active use are in the closet and I only use an avi 2 to 4 (if there are more than 1 version for that many times) times. Then it's never used again. Also not relying on templates means new designs show more often. Even the basics like components of the face shift over time. Lanzer is talking about allowing a place for notes in favorites. That would be fantastic; right now I am fav. my avies and then copying that in journals along with the equip list and date used, plus other info at times.

What are you studying? Yeah, already injured and then recovering from illness; you do need a lot of extra sleep. And medical stuff always takes a huge amount of time from limited energy resources so you need even more. But you did a Pokemon Go event and got through it? Impressive; I'm not sure I could.

There is huge light pollution here plus being in a big valley, we have an inversion layer keeping particulate matter in and the light bonces off of that. So seeing even 1 star is rare and only on very clear nights. So it was a shock to learn that night the aurora was clearly visible everywhere in the region, no matter how much light pollution there was. I never would have expected that. It must have been super bright indeed!

Damn...right now its in bad condition but now I am thinking that it has always been off. the sway when eyes are closed thing has happened to me

Yeah, like I am reading a book, my eyes keep going through page while my mind is making its own scenario of what I would've done or how things should've went and its about time to flip the page and I realize that I didnt actually read most of it. Similar stuff happens with movie and music too. I think I've never seen My dinner with Andre without my mind just wandering off

Honestly, I think I would prefer Keeanu route, even if I had money, just take subway like a normal person, but in that what I really wish is that things werent as crowded, that things were a bit easier for everyone

I mostly fear a big scale thing cause I have lost confidence in our ability to endure. Like a world ver of living from paycheck to paycheck and spending it all instead of having some savings, one major crisis and we would suffer immensely

Dont we have a comment section in favorites already?? Closet just is a lot more convenient, I used to save extras in a guild, but I looked at them less and less and I used avatar builder stuff which just lost images over time

I am trying a few things just so that I dont totally waste my time career wise. For pokego event, I mostly played it on my way back from hospital and from home, but still, it took a huge chunk of time I dont usually have

Damn, lucky, nothing was visible here, even the 2 comets that were visible to naked eye in recent years werent visible here
I did get to see planetary alignment somehow, usually even that isnt very visible here

I have a twisted and bent spine and it's been that way my entire life so it's an issue for me. My chiropractor is an essential service for me to function and balance is just one issue and a more dangerous one as I get older. As I mentioned, phys. therapy along with assigned exercises for the problem also can help.

You have my sympathies. To not get to fully enjoy a great story or experience is hard.

I think we all would. My ideal is good affordable public transit that takes you from a short distance to your destination both ways, like within a block and runs often enough that it isn't over crowded and there aren't super long waits. That's how it was when I lived in San Francisco and how it is in many countries from what I hear from those who live there. Then a car is rarely needed. Here public transit only works on narrow corridors for limited hours (before 5 pm) with very long distances from them to final destination (from our house it would be 2 miles to the nearest bus stop and then an hour wait, no shelter nor shade). They want everyone to use public transit but only those who live in certain locations can and only to limited destinations. This kind of disconnect rules our city and county and to a certain extent state.

Not really a section for notes. I wish. I don't use avi builder; with 19,000 + items each with multiple poses, it takes forever to find anything in there if you don't know exactly what you're looking for. So few poses show per page so it's clunky for me. I don't usually do ghosting contests for that reason. It's hard enough finding stuff when I can see 600 items at a time; with each pose showing as a separate item in avi builder, you see maybe 3-4 items a page.

That is a very good use of your time, to explore and see what you'd like to do next when you're up for it. Pokemon Go sounds like a fun way to spend the time while stuck on your back like that. I didn't realize you could play while immobile. Good to know. As for time you didn't have; consider doing that maintaining your emotional health in the face of catastrophe.

Yeah, and I missed it! I have seen comets from here though; those were really cool. We didn't go outside to see the planetary alignment; it would have been right after the sun set, still light out and also partially cloudy.

Doing that to simply read a situation that is not an emergency is something I wouldn't do. Your block seems to prevent you from focusing without the adrenaline rush; it is something learned though and could be unlearned. So it's difficult for you to fully focus say on a good book or movie or music, to immerse (without the adrenaline rush of a thriller that is)?

LOL, yeah, we all wish we had those kind of resources to avoid the mess.

The part of the continent I live on is volcanically active, on the ring of fire. So it makes sense I'd learn all about this kind of thing. There are two not too far away (within 700 miles) that are not quiescent. One is giving off bouts of sulfur dioxide which is deadly, and the other is active but underwater, just off the coast. There is the potential for 4 more to erupt in my lifetime and one has, Mt St Helen. But like earthquakes, there are always a few volcanoes erupting at any given time on earth. In the past 35 years there have been at least two that did change the weather worldwide; one in Iceland and Mt Pinatubo in the Philippines. I seem to remember vaguely one or two more that had a smaller impact on global weather. But why worry about inevitable but infrequent events when there are just as damaging and deadly events happening much more frequently, like many times a year?

I don't save templates but use my journal to take notes on what I did. This way I never run out of closet space. Only avies not yet used or in active use are in the closet and I only use an avi 2 to 4 (if there are more than 1 version for that many times) times. Then it's never used again. Also not relying on templates means new designs show more often. Even the basics like components of the face shift over time. Lanzer is talking about allowing a place for notes in favorites. That would be fantastic; right now I am fav. my avies and then copying that in journals along with the equip list and date used, plus other info at times.

What are you studying? Yeah, already injured and then recovering from illness; you do need a lot of extra sleep. And medical stuff always takes a huge amount of time from limited energy resources so you need even more. But you did a Pokemon Go event and got through it? Impressive; I'm not sure I could.

There is huge light pollution here plus being in a big valley, we have an inversion layer keeping particulate matter in and the light bonces off of that. So seeing even 1 star is rare and only on very clear nights. So it was a shock to learn that night the aurora was clearly visible everywhere in the region, no matter how much light pollution there was. I never would have expected that. It must have been super bright indeed!

Damn...right now its in bad condition but now I am thinking that it has always been off. the sway when eyes are closed thing has happened to me

Yeah, like I am reading a book, my eyes keep going through page while my mind is making its own scenario of what I would've done or how things should've went and its about time to flip the page and I realize that I didnt actually read most of it. Similar stuff happens with movie and music too. I think I've never seen My dinner with Andre without my mind just wandering off

Honestly, I think I would prefer Keeanu route, even if I had money, just take subway like a normal person, but in that what I really wish is that things werent as crowded, that things were a bit easier for everyone

I mostly fear a big scale thing cause I have lost confidence in our ability to endure. Like a world ver of living from paycheck to paycheck and spending it all instead of having some savings, one major crisis and we would suffer immensely

Dont we have a comment section in favorites already?? Closet just is a lot more convenient, I used to save extras in a guild, but I looked at them less and less and I used avatar builder stuff which just lost images over time

I am trying a few things just so that I dont totally waste my time career wise. For pokego event, I mostly played it on my way back from hospital and from home, but still, it took a huge chunk of time I dont usually have

Damn, lucky, nothing was visible here, even the 2 comets that were visible to naked eye in recent years werent visible here
I did get to see planetary alignment somehow, usually even that isnt very visible here

I have a twisted and bent spine and it's been that way my entire life so it's an issue for me. My chiropractor is an essential service for me to function and balance is just one issue and a more dangerous one as I get older. As I mentioned, phys. therapy along with assigned exercises for the problem also can help.

You have my sympathies. To not get to fully enjoy a great story or experience is hard.

I think we all would. My ideal is good affordable public transit that takes you from a short distance to your destination both ways, like within a block and runs often enough that it isn't over crowded and there aren't super long waits. That's how it was when I lived in San Francisco and how it is in many countries from what I hear from those who live there. Then a car is rarely needed. Here public transit only works on narrow corridors for limited hours (before 5 pm) with very long distances from them to final destination (from our house it would be 2 miles to the nearest bus stop and then an hour wait, no shelter nor shade). They want everyone to use public transit but only those who live in certain locations can and only to limited destinations. This kind of disconnect rules our city and county and to a certain extent state.

Not really a section for notes. I wish. I don't use avi builder; with 19,000 + items each with multiple poses, it takes forever to find anything in there if you don't know exactly what you're looking for. So few poses show per page so it's clunky for me. I don't usually do ghosting contests for that reason. It's hard enough finding stuff when I can see 600 items at a time; with each pose showing as a separate item in avi builder, you see maybe 3-4 items a page.

That is a very good use of your time, to explore and see what you'd like to do next when you're up for it. Pokemon Go sounds like a fun way to spend the time while stuck on your back like that. I didn't realize you could play while immobile. Good to know. As for time you didn't have; consider doing that maintaining your emotional health in the face of catastrophe.

Yeah, and I missed it! I have seen comets from here though; those were really cool. We didn't go outside to see the planetary alignment; it would have been right after the sun set, still light out and also partially cloudy.

Ah damn...and it does get worse with age for sure, I get worried about balance of my some older relatives who dont even have such issues. True! and right guidance is a must or you will mess it up even more

I just have to keep going back to stuff, other than that I am ok. Plus having really bad memory helps, I can enjoy the book a second time but this time my mind doesnt wander off too much cause at back of head I know where its going

Yeah, the system is a mess, plus its hard to take control of. Population in cities grow at crazy rate. Like Japan is good with their stuff, but even there you can see people just crammed in the subway and the people working their just pushing people in somehow

I get that! Even for open inventory contests like Red's it can get a bit overwhelming, I try to build as much of it as I can with my inventory and even thats super big!! Though for avatar builder I meant, you can equip your avi then go to avi builder and just save image and equip list in forums. Then gaia just started deleting older images

Mhmm! And yeah pokego is really hard to play from one place. If I wasnt heading out to physiotherapy and stuff almost everyday then I would just run out of resources to play it. I can catch stuff from where I am a bit, hatch pokemon eggs and all, but I need to go into city to stock up on pokeballs to catch pokemon

Daamn, well, sun activity is still high, hopefully you get another chance. I am jealous of you in comet department, though you must have seen Hale Bopp comet too right back in the day? That thing was here for ages and it was spectacular! And yeah, you could catch partial alignment later on, but some planets just set early in evening

Right now I am hoping to be better enough to be out for long enough, but once I am, I am quite clumsy.
Focus on nothing, or just focusing on one thought is hard, my mind races around too much. I suck at poker kind of stuff too XD But if its something like you asked me a question and read me the 4 options, if you know the answer, I can tell which one it is by focusing hard on tiny variation of your voice. That kind of focus and concentration is draining both mentally and physically. Meditation is sort of relaxed kind of focus, mine is what you would get in a fight

I am a bit more understanding of Taylor Swift taking private jet everywhere in that case XD

Honestly, I dont understand quakes enough to tell the 2 apart and which part happens where. Damn O__O and yeah, major ones of that magnitude happen quite a lot, but I am more worried about the ones waking a volcano and changing weather for a whole year if not more kind of thing sort of major

Apparently it was visible here too, but light pollution is so much that we could never see it in city. Hell, we've trouble seeing stars some times. Going north in the winter is the way to do it honestly

I mostly save basic templates instead of complete avis, but my storage is full and gaia wont let us buy more closet space, that has been the biggest hurdle to my avi making. Life is busy in general, studying, physiotherapy, exercise, that combined with me being sleepy cause of it, and still recovering from being sick so more sleepy than usual....and had a pokemon go major event and with everything else going on, time spent there can take weeks to recover from and get to normal schedule

Spinal damage can cause that, but it may not be the only thing contributing to that. Check your center of gravity, is it centered properly? An easy test is to stand with your eyes closed and see if you sway or tilt in any direction. Common causes if that happens are fixable; your skull sitting on your neck alignment is off (PT or chiropractor can help) or there's an inner ear problem or the spinal damage is pressing on some key nerves in your spinal chord. I know if my axis is off, I get very clumsy, bumping into all kinds of stuff, jamming my hands reaching for stuff and this is all without feeling dizzy. I do that test to see if that is the problem and it usually is.

Oh I see. I didn't even think of that, but yeah, in crisis mode I go in to a very sharp focus to get through it and yes, that is draining as the adrenaline is flowing full.

Yes, age plays a role with balance in addition to other causes, due mostly to loss of muscle mass. One reason I do exercise is I lost all of mine the year my thyroid didn't work and it took a long time to find the right thyroxin levels to replace it. Then that 6 months right after dealing with shingles neuralgia. It's taking a very very long time to regain the muscle mass at my age, years but it is improving instead of declining. My balance is loads better as a result, not to mention mobility. I have a long ways yet to go though. I know I'll be doing some exercises the rest of my life to counter the tendency to loose muscle as we age plus helping to keep my back stable. It helps I can zone out to good music and just move to it, helps keep me focused.

Oh I see how your processing works, quite clearly now. You can focus, but just not that first time when you're still figuring stuff out; I suspect that phase when your mind is going many different places can be quite enjoyable at times. Then you get to enjoy the story, tune or whatever.

What you just described with people working to cram people in as tightly as possible is a total nightmare for me. Fortunately it never gets nearly that bad or didn't when I used public transit in the SF Bay Area. If a bus got to a certain level of crowdedness, they'd stop letting people on. Fortunately usually the wait for the next bus was on ave. just 10 min. It was the same thing with the shuttles at the Grand Canyon when I was there a few years ago. Really bad weather hit though and everyone was trying to leave at once so we ended up in line waiting for a shuttle back to our car for about an hour, or 6 shuttles later and the line was still as long behind us as what went ahead when I boarded finally. In too many cities things are such a mess they'd have to start over and fully coordinate all their actions so one decision didn't make something else they were trying to improve even worse. That's what's going on here. It gets better for maybe a handful of people at the expense of thousands.

That's a good use of avibuilder. You just need to save your avi to favorites, copy it over there to get the equip list and save that too. I just copy the equip list from "view equip list" in one of my posts. It plus the faved avi goes into my journal. I always get overwhelmed at the start of a huge contest like Red's. So I just wait and in the background, my creative process goes to work and in a few hours to at most a couple of days, too many avi designs pop out in the theme. The problem is when they pop out in the middle of the night when I wake up for a short time.... rofl Fortunately most times that doesn't happen and when it does, I usually remember some of them when I'm online.

Playing Pokemon gives you something to look forward to when you have to go to physio and other appointments; it's a good use of the game.

We both may. And if not, there will be other solar maximum periods in our lives so more chances. And there may just be the chance of travel to see it in the north for either of us at some point. and I did see it along with a couple of others in past years. I've missed lots in nature, but I've seen lots too, some things few have that are amazing, like a quake so shallow the land rippled like water on a pond (it was a tiny one of under 3.0) or the time rainbow lightening was coming down all around us, with almost no thunder as we drove down from the mountains. That has to be easily the most beautiful magical storm I'd ever witnessed.

Then that 6 months right after dealing with shingles neuralgia. It's taking a very very long time to regain the muscle mass at my age, years but it is improving instead of declining. My balance is loads better as a result, not to mention mobility. I have a long ways yet to go though. I know I'll be doing some exercises the rest of my life to counter the tendency to loose muscle as we age plus helping to keep my back stable. It helps I can zone out to good music and just move to it, helps keep me focused.

Oh I see how your processing works, quite clearly now. You can focus, but just not that first time when you're still figuring stuff out; I suspect that phase when your mind is going many different places can be quite enjoyable at times. Then you get to enjoy the story, tune or whatever.

What you just described with people working to cram people in as tightly as possible is a total nightmare for me. Fortunately it never gets nearly that bad or didn't when I used public transit in the SF Bay Area. If a bus got to a certain level of crowdedness, they'd stop letting people on. Fortunately usually the wait for the next bus was on ave. just 10 min. It was the same thing with the shuttles at the Grand Canyon when I was there a few years ago. Really bad weather hit though and everyone was trying to leave at once so we ended up in line waiting for a shuttle back to our car for about an hour, or 6 shuttles later and the line was still as long behind us as what went ahead when I boarded finally. In too many cities things are such a mess they'd have to start over and fully coordinate all their actions so one decision didn't make something else they were trying to improve even worse. That's what's going on here. It gets better for maybe a handful of people at the expense of thousands.

That's a good use of avibuilder. You just need to save your avi to favorites, copy it over there to get the equip list and save that too. I just copy the equip list from "view equip list" in one of my posts. It plus the faved avi goes into my journal. I always get overwhelmed at the start of a huge contest like Red's. So I just wait and in the background, my creative process goes to work and in a few hours to at most a couple of days, too many avi designs pop out in the theme. The problem is when they pop out in the middle of the night when I wake up for a short time.... rofl Fortunately most times that doesn't happen and when it does, I usually remember some of them when I'm online.

Playing Pokemon gives you something to look forward to when you have to go to physio and other appointments; it's a good use of the game.

We both may. And if not, there will be other solar maximum periods in our lives so more chances. And there may just be the chance of travel to see it in the north for either of us at some point. and I did see it along with a couple of others in past years. I've missed lots in nature, but I've seen lots too, some things few have that are amazing, like a quake so shallow the land rippled like water on a pond (it was a tiny one of under 3.0) or the time rainbow lightening was coming down all around us, with almost no thunder as we drove down from the mountains. That has to be easily the most beautiful magical storm I'd ever witnessed.

Goddamn, thats a lot to deal with! But its nice that you are keeping up with it, a lot of older people I know just give up. My dad mostly just take walks and stretches a little bit. Anything is nice, but he really should be doing a bit more

Yeah and mostly by second time, I've thought all that there is to think about it already, so I can be in the moment

I've been in bad crowded situation way too much and I hate it, specially during school days. These days, I keep away, hell when a plane lands and people are rushing out of the door, I am like- yeah...go on ahead, I will just get out near the end. Though the bad weather and poor decisions things wont help with that. Infrastructure cant keep up with population. America kind of lucked out a bit as most of its cities were fairly modern and new by today's standards, but most old cities in the world have been struggling with that since ages

Yeah, and another good thing is that at least the item links from avi builder dont get lost. Ideas when you are going to bed are the worse...they are brilliant but you know you would lose them. I mostly just have to find time with any theme, put on right music and then just go at it. I work on basic ideas and then roll through my inventory and see what sticks

Yeah, plus it helps with me not focusing on road and getting road rage XD

Yeah, I really hope to travel north in winter some day...though I am super weak to cold, it would be worth it. I once even tried to join an expedition trip to Antarctica but didnt get selected XD Hale-Bopp was the highlight for me, so easily noticeable and I big and bright enough that I've seen it in day some times. Holy crap those sound amazing, specially the rainbow lightning! Most of my earthquake stories are funny, I usually sleep through them, but the ones I noticed coincided with horror movies. Me and my mom watched It recently and a couple of days after it, our metal door started banging rhythmically. Other time, I was in college, alone on my floor as most people left for weekend. I put on Paranormal Activity to see what all the hype was about, 10 mins in, my clothes on hanger started swinging
Another thing I want to see- Will-O-Wisp

Damn...right now its in bad condition but now I am thinking that it has always been off. the sway when eyes are closed thing has happened to me

Yeah, like I am reading a book, my eyes keep going through page while my mind is making its own scenario of what I would've done or how things should've went and its about time to flip the page and I realize that I didnt actually read most of it. Similar stuff happens with movie and music too. I think I've never seen My dinner with Andre without my mind just wandering off

Honestly, I think I would prefer Keeanu route, even if I had money, just take subway like a normal person, but in that what I really wish is that things werent as crowded, that things were a bit easier for everyone

I mostly fear a big scale thing cause I have lost confidence in our ability to endure. Like a world ver of living from paycheck to paycheck and spending it all instead of having some savings, one major crisis and we would suffer immensely

Dont we have a comment section in favorites already?? Closet just is a lot more convenient, I used to save extras in a guild, but I looked at them less and less and I used avatar builder stuff which just lost images over time

I am trying a few things just so that I dont totally waste my time career wise. For pokego event, I mostly played it on my way back from hospital and from home, but still, it took a huge chunk of time I dont usually have

Damn, lucky, nothing was visible here, even the 2 comets that were visible to naked eye in recent years werent visible here
I did get to see planetary alignment somehow, usually even that isnt very visible here

I have a twisted and bent spine and it's been that way my entire life so it's an issue for me. My chiropractor is an essential service for me to function and balance is just one issue and a more dangerous one as I get older. As I mentioned, phys. therapy along with assigned exercises for the problem also can help.

You have my sympathies. To not get to fully enjoy a great story or experience is hard.

I think we all would. My ideal is good affordable public transit that takes you from a short distance to your destination both ways, like within a block and runs often enough that it isn't over crowded and there aren't super long waits. That's how it was when I lived in San Francisco and how it is in many countries from what I hear from those who live there. Then a car is rarely needed. Here public transit only works on narrow corridors for limited hours (before 5 pm) with very long distances from them to final destination (from our house it would be 2 miles to the nearest bus stop and then an hour wait, no shelter nor shade). They want everyone to use public transit but only those who live in certain locations can and only to limited destinations. This kind of disconnect rules our city and county and to a certain extent state.

Not really a section for notes. I wish. I don't use avi builder; with 19,000 + items each with multiple poses, it takes forever to find anything in there if you don't know exactly what you're looking for. So few poses show per page so it's clunky for me. I don't usually do ghosting contests for that reason. It's hard enough finding stuff when I can see 600 items at a time; with each pose showing as a separate item in avi builder, you see maybe 3-4 items a page.

That is a very good use of your time, to explore and see what you'd like to do next when you're up for it. Pokemon Go sounds like a fun way to spend the time while stuck on your back like that. I didn't realize you could play while immobile. Good to know. As for time you didn't have; consider doing that maintaining your emotional health in the face of catastrophe.

Yeah, and I missed it! I have seen comets from here though; those were really cool. We didn't go outside to see the planetary alignment; it would have been right after the sun set, still light out and also partially cloudy.

Ah damn...and it does get worse with age for sure, I get worried about balance of my some older relatives who dont even have such issues. True! and right guidance is a must or you will mess it up even more

I just have to keep going back to stuff, other than that I am ok. Plus having really bad memory helps, I can enjoy the book a second time but this time my mind doesnt wander off too much cause at back of head I know where its going

Yeah, the system is a mess, plus its hard to take control of. Population in cities grow at crazy rate. Like Japan is good with their stuff, but even there you can see people just crammed in the subway and the people working their just pushing people in somehow

I get that! Even for open inventory contests like Red's it can get a bit overwhelming, I try to build as much of it as I can with my inventory and even thats super big!! Though for avatar builder I meant, you can equip your avi then go to avi builder and just save image and equip list in forums. Then gaia just started deleting older images

Mhmm! And yeah pokego is really hard to play from one place. If I wasnt heading out to physiotherapy and stuff almost everyday then I would just run out of resources to play it. I can catch stuff from where I am a bit, hatch pokemon eggs and all, but I need to go into city to stock up on pokeballs to catch pokemon

Daamn, well, sun activity is still high, hopefully you get another chance. I am jealous of you in comet department, though you must have seen Hale Bopp comet too right back in the day? That thing was here for ages and it was spectacular! And yeah, you could catch partial alignment later on, but some planets just set early in evening

Yes, age plays a role with balance in addition to other causes, due mostly to loss of muscle mass. One reason I do exercise is I lost all of mine the year my thyroid didn't work and it took a long time to find the right thyroxin levels to replace it.

My balance is loads better as a result, not to mention mobility. I have a long ways yet to go though. I know I'll be doing some exercises the rest of my life to counter the tendency to loose muscle as we age plus helping to keep my back stable. It helps I can zone out to good music and just move to it, helps keep me focused.

Another thing I want to see- Will-O-Wisp

It is a lot, but I've always had to deal with a lot, I think murphy's law has solidly influenced my life. You're right; a lot of people give up, especially in age. And they live badly in their final years, die somewhat earlier than they needed to, so they cut off both the quality and quantity of their life. My parents were good examples of that and nothing we could do could change that. Your dad does stretch and walk; that is more than most. Also he may be doing stuff that involves strength on a regular basis which also helps to maintain things, such as a hobby or house stuff.

This circles back to the mind body connection; you've just given yourself the road map for succeeding at something like biofeedback. Just know the first few times it may not work as you think your way through all the permutations but you'll get there eventually. I can see why it may defeat hypnotherapy though... lol

I do everything I can to avoid crowds, neither my husband nor I like them and I am a bit more tolerant of them than he is; it depends on the circumstance. People do love sporting events, night clubs, attending large political events, etc. I have no idea why.... Oh and black Friday shopping... emotion_0A0

Yeah, I've noticed very old cities in other countries are even worse. But they do tend to have functional public transit at least. Still it's hard to imagine getting use to extreme crowded contitions all the time along with the attendant noise.

I read that twice; you are a passenger when you're playing Pokemon, right?

Just bundle up really well. I sure would; I've never lived in a place that snows.

It was incredible; something I didn't even know was possible til we witnessed it. I'll remember that vividly for life. Yeah, your earthquake stories are hilarious. What epic timing! rofl Not being a horror fan, it's unlikely I'd have such an experience.

I'd like to see Will-O-Wisp too.

I'd like to see Will-O-Wisp too.

Sometimes it feels like fate juts picks you and decides violence. He gets around a lot, so a lot of driving and all, but his hard working days are behind him

I am not getting it too well what its about, but I shall figure it out by giving it a try

I get it at concerts, it creates great energy and atmosphere, but other than that, I have never appreciated crowds either. I went on Black Friday shopping once, not a huge fan razz and the place I was at didnt even get it as bad

Some countries do it better than others, but its still a struggle everywhere

Yup, sitting in same position can get painful for me so driving is a bit of issue, specially after I am done exercising

It doesnt help that much, I use blankets in summer, I would have to get very high of the line winter products and I am not very confident in those either. Even with bundling up, I once got caught in a blizzard and by the time I made back to my place, I had burning sensation in forehead for some reason and had to use my arms to lift my legs to walk forward

I hope to catch something like that someday now. I really love horror, I try to watch them in middle of night, alone and in dark room for best experience. But I love it in same way that the critic from Ratatouille movie loved food. Most horror movies arent truly horrifying, they just rely too much on shock factor and jump scares and are often just disappointing

Ah damn...and it does get worse with age for sure, I get worried about balance of my some older relatives who dont even have such issues. True! and right guidance is a must or you will mess it up even more

I just have to keep going back to stuff, other than that I am ok. Plus having really bad memory helps, I can enjoy the book a second time but this time my mind doesnt wander off too much cause at back of head I know where its going

Yeah, the system is a mess, plus its hard to take control of. Population in cities grow at crazy rate. Like Japan is good with their stuff, but even there you can see people just crammed in the subway and the people working their just pushing people in somehow

I get that! Even for open inventory contests like Red's it can get a bit overwhelming, I try to build as much of it as I can with my inventory and even thats super big!! Though for avatar builder I meant, you can equip your avi then go to avi builder and just save image and equip list in forums. Then gaia just started deleting older images

Mhmm! And yeah pokego is really hard to play from one place. If I wasnt heading out to physiotherapy and stuff almost everyday then I would just run out of resources to play it. I can catch stuff from where I am a bit, hatch pokemon eggs and all, but I need to go into city to stock up on pokeballs to catch pokemon

Daamn, well, sun activity is still high, hopefully you get another chance. I am jealous of you in comet department, though you must have seen Hale Bopp comet too right back in the day? That thing was here for ages and it was spectacular! And yeah, you could catch partial alignment later on, but some planets just set early in evening

Yes, age plays a role with balance in addition to other causes, due mostly to loss of muscle mass. One reason I do exercise is I lost all of mine the year my thyroid didn't work and it took a long time to find the right thyroxin levels to replace it. Then that 6 months right after dealing with shingles neuralgia. It's taking a very very long time to regain the muscle mass at my age, years but it is improving instead of declining. My balance is loads better as a result, not to mention mobility. I have a long ways yet to go though. I know I'll be doing some exercises the rest of my life to counter the tendency to loose muscle as we age plus helping to keep my back stable. It helps I can zone out to good music and just move to it, helps keep me focused.

Oh I see how your processing works, quite clearly now. You can focus, but just not that first time when you're still figuring stuff out; I suspect that phase when your mind is going many different places can be quite enjoyable at times. Then you get to enjoy the story, tune or whatever.

What you just described with people working to cram people in as tightly as possible is a total nightmare for me. Fortunately it never gets nearly that bad or didn't when I used public transit in the SF Bay Area. If a bus got to a certain level of crowdedness, they'd stop letting people on. Fortunately usually the wait for the next bus was on ave. just 10 min. It was the same thing with the shuttles at the Grand Canyon when I was there a few years ago. Really bad weather hit though and everyone was trying to leave at once so we ended up in line waiting for a shuttle back to our car for about an hour, or 6 shuttles later and the line was still as long behind us as what went ahead when I boarded finally. In too many cities things are such a mess they'd have to start over and fully coordinate all their actions so one decision didn't make something else they were trying to improve even worse. That's what's going on here. It gets better for maybe a handful of people at the expense of thousands.

That's a good use of avibuilder. You just need to save your avi to favorites, copy it over there to get the equip list and save that too. I just copy the equip list from "view equip list" in one of my posts. It plus the faved avi goes into my journal. I always get overwhelmed at the start of a huge contest like Red's. So I just wait and in the background, my creative process goes to work and in a few hours to at most a couple of days, too many avi designs pop out in the theme. The problem is when they pop out in the middle of the night when I wake up for a short time.... rofl Fortunately most times that doesn't happen and when it does, I usually remember some of them when I'm online.

Playing Pokemon gives you something to look forward to when you have to go to physio and other appointments; it's a good use of the game.

We both may. And if not, there will be other solar maximum periods in our lives so more chances. And there may just be the chance of travel to see it in the north for either of us at some point. and I did see it along with a couple of others in past years. I've missed lots in nature, but I've seen lots too, some things few have that are amazing, like a quake so shallow the land rippled like water on a pond (it was a tiny one of under 3.0) or the time rainbow lightening was coming down all around us, with almost no thunder as we drove down from the mountains. That has to be easily the most beautiful magical storm I'd ever witnessed.

Goddamn, thats a lot to deal with! But its nice that you are keeping up with it, a lot of older people I know just give up. My dad mostly just take walks and stretches a little bit. Anything is nice, but he really should be doing a bit more

Yeah and mostly by second time, I've thought all that there is to think about it already, so I can be in the moment

I've been in bad crowded situation way too much and I hate it, specially during school days. These days, I keep away, hell when a plane lands and people are rushing out of the door, I am like- yeah...go on ahead, I will just get out near the end. Though the bad weather and poor decisions things wont help with that. Infrastructure cant keep up with population. America kind of lucked out a bit as most of its cities were fairly modern and new by today's standards, but most old cities in the world have been struggling with that since ages

Yeah, and another good thing is that at least the item links from avi builder dont get lost. Ideas when you are going to bed are the worse...they are brilliant but you know you would lose them. I mostly just have to find time with any theme, put on right music and then just go at it. I work on basic ideas and then roll through my inventory and see what sticks

Yeah, plus it helps with me not focusing on road and getting road rage XD

Yeah, I really hope to travel north in winter some day...though I am super weak to cold, it would be worth it. I once even tried to join an expedition trip to Antarctica but didnt get selected XD Hale-Bopp was the highlight for me, so easily noticeable and I big and bright enough that I've seen it in day some times. Holy crap those sound amazing, specially the rainbow lightning! Most of my earthquake stories are funny, I usually sleep through them, but the ones I noticed coincided with horror movies. Me and my mom watched It recently and a couple of days after it, our metal door started banging rhythmically. Other time, I was in college, alone on my floor as most people left for weekend. I put on Paranormal Activity to see what all the hype was about, 10 mins in, my clothes on hanger started swinging
Another thing I want to see- Will-O-Wisp

It is a lot, but I've always had to deal with a lot, I think murphy's law has solidly influenced my life. You're right; a lot of people give up, especially in age. And they live badly in their final years, die somewhat earlier than they needed to, so they cut off both the quality and quantity of their life. My parents were good examples of that and nothing we could do could change that. Your dad does stretch and walk; that is more than most. Also he may be doing stuff that involves strength on a regular basis which also helps to maintain things, such as a hobby or house stuff.

This circles back to the mind body connection; you've just given yourself the road map for succeeding at something like biofeedback. Just know the first few times it may not work as you think your way through all the permutations but you'll get there eventually. I can see why it may defeat hypnotherapy though... lol

I do everything I can to avoid crowds, neither my husband nor I like them and I am a bit more tolerant of them than he is; it depends on the circumstance. People do love sporting events, night clubs, attending large political events, etc. I have no idea why.... Oh and black Friday shopping... emotion_0A0

Yeah, I've noticed very old cities in other countries are even worse. But they do tend to have functional public transit at least. Still it's hard to imagine getting use to extreme crowded contitions all the time along with the attendant noise.

I read that twice; you are a passenger when you're playing Pokemon, right?

Just bundle up really well. I sure would; I've never lived in a place that snows.

It was incredible; something I didn't even know was possible til we witnessed it. I'll remember that vividly for life. Yeah, your earthquake stories are hilarious. What epic timing! rofl Not being a horror fan, it's unlikely I'd have such an experience.

I'd like to see Will-O-Wisp too.

Sometimes it feels like fate juts picks you and decides violence. He gets around a lot, so a lot of driving and all, but his hard working days are behind him

I am not getting it too well what its about, but I shall figure it out by giving it a try

I get it at concerts, it creates great energy and atmosphere, but other than that, I have never appreciated crowds either. I went on Black Friday shopping once, not a huge fan razz and the place I was at didnt even get it as bad

Some countries do it better than others, but its still a struggle everywhere

Yup, sitting in same position can get painful for me so driving is a bit of issue, specially after I am done exercising

It doesnt help that much, I use blankets in summer, I would have to get very high of the line winter products and I am not very confident in those either. Even with bundling up, I once got caught in a blizzard and by the time I made back to my place, I had burning sensation in forehead for some reason and had to use my arms to lift my legs to walk forward

I hope to catch something like that someday now. I really love horror, I try to watch them in middle of night, alone and in dark room for best experience. But I love it in same way that the critic from Ratatouille movie loved food. Most horror movies arent truly horrifying, they just rely too much on shock factor and jump scares and are often just disappointing

Oh, fate has her work cut out for her....she needs to deal with people like Trump, Netanyahu and Putin to name but a few. Me, I'm just a survivor and in all honesty a lot of what life has brought me was due to politics; it's cost me a couple of careers and lots of income over my lifetime. Not to mention watching the damage it's done to the larger environment around me.

I have a general idea of how it works, but I never used it myself since hypnotherapy worked so well. My husband is having great success with it though, when he remembers to apply it. I'm glad you are learning about it. All these nondrug modalities should be used long before pain meds. The problem is our medical system is all about profit and such approaches aren't profitable except for the practitioners. So they don't teach about them in med school.

Do you sense the energy and mood of crowds and groups?

So it seems. Too many people in too small spaces. The nature of our species over time.

Are they long drives to physiotherapy? I wonder if a seat cushion or back support cushion would help? Glad Pokemon does.

Heh, when you're back on your own, it would pay to move to a hot climate then. I'm more heat sensitive than cold; I've had heat exhaustion numerous times over my life. I've learned recently that once you've had a severe case of it or heat stroke, your sensitivity to heat will always be a problem. Great...explains a lot. My first time was as a kid. I'm not sure how well I'd do in days under -20F though. I may never experience that.

Given your avi, I'm not at all surprised you're a horror fan. Your username is also a give away, lol. Me, I'm more sci/fi fantasy and not the cliche predictable themes and stories. The closest I ever got into horror was Buffy the Vampire and spinoffs on TV. And that wasn't really.

Oh btw, that reminds me, the new season of Penn and Teller's Fool us began last month and they will repeat everything if you want some light fun. With an act that is a bit of horror once in a while--not my favorite kind, lol.

I wish fate was fair like that. I got in politics late and got out pretty fast, just doing what good I can around me and hope that world doesnt fall apart before I die

I think issue is that depending on person it can be very hit or miss, so they stick with whats universally approved, even if its wrong, if its established enough, people would go for that

Nope! Pretty oblivious guy here XD I only sense- LOUD!!

yeah, and some people enjoy that for some reason

its more of sitting in same position for a while, so not much to do there, but at that distance its tolerable

True, though you take job where you can get them these days razz

Yeah, and it gets worse with age, even my heat sensitivity has gone down. When I was young, I would play basketball all day in summer heat, now I need airconditioner in summer days

Yeah, Buffy, Supernatural, shows like these are more action adventure than horror, specially over time. My username is actually reference to an anime char that my original account was named after, he just happened to be a proud demon XD Though yeah, I enjoy almost everything, specially scifi and fantasy. I like adventure stuff more. What I mostly dislike is drama. There are good dramas, but mostly its tension and complication for sake of it and it annoys me

Where is it on again??
