This is the thread where we talk about our feelings.

[Angry Kid Hoyt]

Muh ha ha!
Now I feel good and evil!

[Marcus Bales]

I feel mundificant.

[lukkucairi]

I feel as if I've been beaten up by 1000 angry lilliputians wielding toothpick-sized baseball bats

[T.I.P.]

i feel as good as I will feel bad tomorrow morning

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

I feel panic welling up... :eek:

[Hyakujo's Fox]

here's another thing I wasn't sure how to feel about

A doctor mate of mine told me of a terminally ill child who spent his final two hours playing PlayStation surrounded by his family. (http://www.theage.com.au/news/opinion/turn-off-tune-out-how-i-survived-the-telly-ban/2008/02/26/1203788342806.html?page=fullpage#contentSwap1)

[jasmina]

Disappointed with life and with myself

[Hyakujo's Fox]

:(

[trisherina]

:(

[Marcus Bales]

But I do feel mundificant -- really really mundificant. I can't help it!

[lukkucairi]

well get to mundifying then!

I'm feeling in need of a good mundification.

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

… There comes a point in life where each one of us who survives begins to feel like a ghost that has forgotten to die at the right time, and certainly most of us were more amusing when we were young. It seems that age folds the heart in on itself. Some of us walk detached, dreaming on the past, and some of us realise that we have lost the trick of standing in the sun. For many of us the thought of the future is a cause of irritation rather than optimism, as if we have had enough of new things, and wish only for the long sleep that rounds the edges of our lives. I feel this weariness myself.

Louis de Bernières:Birds Without Wings

[Marcus Bales]

I feel rather eschomuw this morning, though even I on this morning don't go so far as to claim I actually feel ysapur.

[Frieda]

i feel an extreme longing to be able to dance like mc hammer in his can't touch this clip, with those baggy pants running left & right, just to be able to annoy the toothache guy at work.

yeah.

[auntie aubrey]

i emailed her this morning telling her we'd like to see it right away.

aaaaaaaaaaand we saw it. and we're going to pass. i'm really bummed. the people who live there now have taken no care of the place, and it looks like there's 20 years of grime built up in there. and, from the looks of it, the original coat of paint. very dinged and scratched up. the kitchen is damn near unusable from a sanitary perspective, judging from the grease built up on the stove and the fan. we'd have to demo the entire kitchen and rebuild before we could move in.

and the thing is, all of that would be doable except for the final deal breaking detail: it's just too damn big. it turns out i read the description wrong. it's not a 4 bedroom. it's a 5 bedroom with an office. and a living room. and a den. and a finished bedroom. we only intend to have a single child. what the hell would we do with all that space? it would feel like we were rattling around in there. we honestly can't understand what the hell we would do with that amount of space.

so we're passing. which really bums me out. if it were just 2 rooms smaller, i think we would still consider it, even with the work that needs to be done.


so i'm feeling kind of bummed and disappointed. boo what a let down.

[lukkucairi]

^ bah!

too bad - but that's the housing market for you. something wonderful will come along - fate hasn't shoved it your way yet is all.

I've had a crap day at work and I feel like a STUBBORN FVCKKEN BITCH.

waitaminute, I *am* a stubborn fvckken bitch.

that's alright then :)

[Hyakujo's Fox]

that's alright then :)

Are you sure you're a stubborn fvckken bitch? ;)

[Marcus Bales]

If she were a guy she's be a strong-principled ambitious leader.

[lukkucairi]

nah, I just lurk in the shadows with a baseball bat :)

[hypnoplasm]

feeling slighted by being used as a metaphor for stupidity in other threads

[trisherina]

I didn't see that, but I bet whoever made that allusion is thinking gee, I guess he's not so stupid after all now.

[Marcus Bales]

I feel hypnoplastic.

[lukkucairi]

my left eye feels scratchy and icky

[Marcus Bales]

I just got a copy of the surveillance photo of Hoyt and YsaPur meeting for the first time:

http://images.sports.cn/2005/08/01/1153276459.jpg

I feel left out.

[Veruki]

^wow they seem rather friendly already

[Marcus Bales]

I feel that you're right about that.

[Tunesmith]

I feel like jumping in one of these to see if it's bottomless:

http://time-blog.com/looking_around/heizer-exhibs_b-top.jpg

Hell, even if it's not, I'd love to just spend some time falling.

[lukkucairi]

I rather feel like joining you there, tunes.

[Frieda]

i feel very bad.. i think i ate something wrong :(

[Stephi_B]

^:(

You don't happen to have Weißbier (or Coke with sugar - you are still supposed to work today, or? ;)) and Brezeln (or Pretzels) handy, helps often.


I feel strange somehow, neither bad, nor good, nor nothing definite, lost somewhere in the nowhereland of feelings... :confused:

[Hyakujo's Fox]

I feel strange somehow, neither bad, nor good, nor nothing definite, lost somewhere in the nowhereland of feelings... :confused:

Is that strange? :(

[Hyakujo's Fox]

I felt numb on the right side of my face before.

[Stephi_B]

^^Yes, for me it is - but it's not :(, just :confused:

;)

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

I feel tense, almost panicky. I should get some things ready for tomorrow and I am completely paralysed. I cannot prepare stuff when I don't know what to expect.

[Frieda]

^:(

You don't happen to have Weißbier (or Coke with sugar - you are still supposed to work today, or? ;)) and Brezeln (or Pretzels) handy, helps often.


no bier or coke available.. and i didn't go to work this morning.. these things usually sort themselves out-- quite an unpleasant process, though. i think it's almost done now-- i feel hungry and that's usually a good sign :)

[Stephi_B]

^Aye, it is!

:)

[trisherina]

I feel ready.

[Marcus Bales]

I feel that Ready is a very very lucky guy.

[brightpearl]

I feel really tired.
And really tired of feeling really tired.

It makes my eyelids hurt.

[Hyakujo's Fox]

I feel I should be somewhere else, such as a public park, asleep.

[Jaime]

I feel almost overwhelmingly blah for no good reason.

[Jack Flanders]

feeling on edge. big rain coming later tonight. flood watch in effect. Marcus - good luck - be careful of the ice tomorrow.

[Frieda]

i feel :eek: :eek: :eek: because it's snowing!! ITS SNOWING!! :eek: :eek:

[Frieda]

aaandddd it stopped snowing again :(

[Frieda]

i still feel happy to show everybody at bulletin.zefrank.com at least 2 snowflakes on the picture below that was taken with flash:

and another, more clear picture, taken without flash:
http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/8991/sneeuw2py9.jpg

you might also notice what this weekend's storm did to my daffodils, which i feel angry about.

[Stephi_B]

^I feel I can understand your feelings - a bit earlier today (http://bulletin.zefrank.com/showpost.php?p=379336&postcount=2138) I felt snow drunken (but my office mate invented the expression for the feeling) - and I feel sorry for your flowers :( Good I left my fig tree still inside - he lives on the microwave to get the optimal afternoon light. Particularly as it was also hailing today (some time before the snow set in) and quite strong.

My general feeling to be stuck in the nowhereland of feelings is still there, but it's OK.

[Marcus Bales]

That's not "snowing". In Cleveland if we get less than 6" of snow we say the storm missed us.

[Frieda]

snow drunken! that's a cool word. i know that feeling. i always love watching snow fall-- to follow it fall the sky where it's black and watch it change to white over the rooftops and houses :)

i can watch snow for hours. not that it snows often here-- but if it does, it makes me snow drunken too :)

[Angry Kid Hoyt]

I feel really really cheated because I friggin LOVE snow and we haven't had any here in Richmond for like 5 years!

Oh, you're from Cleveland, eh, Marcus? That explains alot. :D

[Frieda]

there's something else about snow that i love. at night, watching tv, that you feel the cold, the low pressure from the winter weather, and then suddenly you hear water dripping. drip, drip. is it raining, you ask yourself. no. i don't hear rain, it's cold.. wait-- you open the curtains and see the miracle of snow, falling down silently, the flakes flickering orange in the light of the lamp posts outside. a blanket of silence.

yes. that's what i love about snow. :)

[auntie aubrey]

I feel like installing a device on the train that hoses all passengers down with febreeze as they board.

Smells like burnt hair and perm solution in here.

[lukkucairi]

I feel like I've eaten too many pickles

[Marcus Bales]

Oh, you're from Cleveland, eh, Marcus? That explains alot.

I live in Cleveland. Just what exactly do you mean that that explains, eh?

[hypnoplasm]

I feel like i aced that f-ing 3 hour interview

[lukkucairi]

I feel happy for you, hypnoplasm

[Marcus Bales]

I feel violated.

[auntie aubrey]

mehhhhhhhhhhhh. mehmmmhrrrmmmhmehm.

BAH hrmmrhrmmmmmph.

[Veruki]

I feel violated.
That wasn't me!!


I feel like I might have a fever :(

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

I feel tired and I feel the need for some fun.

[Veruki]

I feel uncontrollably cold

[Marcus Bales]

I feel like warming you up.

[Veruki]

It's actually so cold in here, I feel like time is slowly being frozen.

[lukkucairi]

I feel like a spambot

[Odbe]

I feel endoplasmic

[hypnoplasm]

precisely.

[Marcus Bales]

I feel full.

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

I feel great! It's Friday afternoon and the weekend has just begun...

[Marcus Bales]

I feel afraid.

[lukkucairi]

I feel tired and confused, and I feel like I shouldn't admit it :p

[Marcus Bales]

I feel like I don't care about Ezor's feelings since all I ever hear is "Suht up!"

[craig johnston]

blaes vs zreo

clash of the titans!

:eek:

[Marcus Bales]

Keep yer Johnson down, Craig -- Zreo's fighting way above his weight class.

[craig johnston]

yes you're right blaes. he's no match for an intellectual
wordsmith type like you. i must admit, you are the all-time
heavyweight champion poet etc.

:rolleyes:

[Marcus Bales]

Yeah its just not fair is it? Oh well, I'll just have to suffer. All the girls will go "Poor Zreo!" and probably carry him away to nurse him back to health with their voluptuous bodies and smart minds. Sigh.

[craig johnston]

it's always that way isn't it? while true geniuses (or should that be genii?),
like yourself have to struggle on manfully alone, the likes of ozer roll over
and moan and the chix come flocking with their florence nightingale
outfits and rubber gloves.

[Marcus Bales]

I feel unappreciated but at least I'm not looking at porn. Unless you think of "Paradise Lost" as porn.

[craig johnston]

'prometheus bound' i always found kinda kinky

[Marcus Bales]

Well, you could always ask old Prometheus "What's a Grecian earn?"

[Veruki]

ba-dum-ch

[Frieda]

i just spent 3 hours searching the internet on ways on how to get out of a hyperfocus--

i feel

um

:confused:

weird





edited to add: suggestions are welcome, by the way

[lukkucairi]

^ an adrenaline bump almost always works for me

get good and startled by something :)

[Jack Flanders]

According to NOAA the Delaware River in Trenton will crest Sunday evening at 20.5 ft. Moderate flood stage but just below the mandatory evacuation level. Send us good thoughts guys!!!

[lukkucairi]

wow!

good vibes your way, Jacky

I'm going off to study, though I don't much feel like doing it...

[auntie aubrey]

we were outbid on our dream house. what sucks is that the other people weren't even all that interested until they found out that someone else had made an offer. it's like they only really wanted it because someone else did.

i'm so bummed. this has been me on an off all evening:

http://tell.fll.purdue.edu/JapanProj/FLClipart/Verbs/cry.gif

[T.I.P.]

you dinnit want it

it was too roomy

[auntie aubrey]

^ different house. i don't think i posted here about the house we put an offer on.

[Stephi_B]

I feel thoroughly saturdayish! Good thing :) (particularly as I feel it on the correct day)

[Marcus Bales]

I feel snowed-in.

[T.I.P.]

^ different house. i don't think i posted here about the house we put an offer on.

sorry bout that..

hope you find your dreams house soon

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

I feel bored. C'mon, let's play something.

[Veruki]

I feel happy and relax.

[lukkucairi]

I feel better about Saturday than I did about Thursday

[Marcus Bales]

I feel like playing something too -- the snow is drifted up over the three steps of the back door and the five steps of the front door.

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

Oh, you can build lots of snowmen, then. :p

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

Oh, you can build lots of snowmen, then. :p

Here are some ideas:

Or, if you're more into quantity:

http://www.funny-potato.com/images/snowman/snow-men.jpg

[Marcus Bales]

Now I feel creeped out.

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

Now I feel creeped out.

Why? Did you build any or didn't you?

[Marcus Bales]

The snow is too light and dry and blowy to build snowmen, and that makes me feel left out.

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

Oh, I feel sorry for you. It's such fun, getting creative with snow...

[Marcus Bales]

I feel even more left out now that you feel sorry for me!

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

I feel even more left out now that you feel sorry for me!

I could say I feel even more sorry for you now, but I'm not going to.

[Marcus Bales]

I feel suddenly grateful.

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

I feel full of grate.
Maybe I accidentally swallowed the cheese grater when I was making pizza.

[lukkucairi]

I feel pain in my right wrist.

I feel less of a human for not having built any snow sculptures at all this winter :(

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

I feel devastated again!
I woke up this morning to find that one of my six cute gerbils is dead (and half-eaten, too.)
I noticed there was some fervent activity going on last night, but I thought it was just because of springtime, hormones kicking in.
I don’t understand these little effing furry things. They’ve got plenty of food, juicy fruit and veggies, males, females. So what’s the problem?
If there is a further increase in this kind of activity, I’ll take it as a Very Bad Sign.

The Year of the Rat, oh, my!

[brightpearl]

^gerbils are territorial, especially if not related...might need more space.

[Marcus Bales]

I feel like I like Hoyt.

[craig johnston]

i feel like Colyd.

[trisherina]

Sometimes a gerbil takes it into his head that he just can't stand the other gerbil. From what I understand there isn't much to be said about this other than "lousy breeding" -- in truth, not a lot of attention tends to be paid to gerbil breeding and undesirable characteristics are free to diverge all over the place. For the size of enclosures most people have for rodents, ideally gerbils are kept in pairs from the same litter for the lifespan, same sex unless you like endless streams of baby gerbils. Ideally just means likelihood that they will get along throughout the natural lifespan. Towards the end of one of our gerbil pairs' lives they decided they hated each other, and started fighting. This is a sign that they need to be separated, because gerbils are entirely like us in that they don't seem to be able to work things out by simply expressing their feelings toward one another (thinly veiled attempt to remain on thread topic). Once they decide one is Axis and the other is Allies, depending on how much of the usual lifespan remains, separating may involve finding new pairings for them, introducing the new pair mates using a split cage method.

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

I feel comforted! :) Thanks.

I've had them for about five years, so they're all a family, but I can relate to family problems... They live in quite a big tank (50 cm x 1 m), so they've got enough space. I hope this drastic step of sorting out family matters was the last one of the kind.

[zero]

fit as a butcher's dog

[Stephi_B]

I feel pretty much in balance with myself, the world, my bank account (thanx dad!!), my work (:eek:) etc.

:) :)



i feel like Colyd.
Like a colloid
http://www.primidi.com/images/bcat3_on_iss.jpg
- that's interesting ;) :)

[lukkucairi]

i feel like HELL :mad:

and i'm tired of pretending i don't.

i will feel better later, but for now, PHOOEY.

[Brynn]

I feel horrified that I forgot to show up in my son's classroom this morning to teach the kids about William Turner for the Art Literacy program.
I feel dread about the rest of the day.

Even the "gives you a happy" thread cannot give me a happy.
I'm banning myself, and I can't be arsed to even go to the "ban thyself" thread to do so.

[auntie aubrey]

frazzled, bamboozled and hazy.

[Frieda]

insane in the membrane

insane in the brain

[Stephi_B]

^good tune though

I feel as if I've caught a cold and I feel I like (not love! like!) somebody so much that it hurts.

[Angry Kid Hoyt]

I feel like I missed Marcus.

[lukkucairi]

my throat feels very sore

and my voice doesn't feel as if I should be attempting to use it.

GAH :mad:

I feel mollified, but I still can't talk :p

hoyt, hope your attention-hungry missing filling doesn't hurt ya too bad today!

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

I feel somebody could do with a little bit of comforting.
Here, take this lovely colouring book!

My Trip To The Dentist
Ricky is an active young walrus. His mother always says, “Don’t chew on the ice,” but Ricky learns the hard way to listen to your parents. Scared of the dentist, Ricky tries to avoid the trip. When his broken tooth interferes with eating, Ricky has no choice but to face his fears. See how Ricky’s visit goes and like Ricky, you just might be surprised!

[Stephi_B]

^Oh shit! :(
My best wishes for him to get well very, very soon!!!!


I feel oso ondo :)
(that's Basque - got a small language course today ;))

[auntie aubrey]

we're waiting to hear from our realtor and the anxiety is more than i can take. i haven't slept well for the past 2 nights because i can't relax until that damn phone rings.

my tummy hurts. :(

[Jack Flanders]

I think home buying or selling are two of the most stressful occasions in one's life. Luck!!

[Frieda]

^^ did you find a new dream house yet?

[auntie aubrey]

we found a great house and made a very reasonable offer. the seller came back with a counter offer that's higher than his original asking price.

our realtor called his agent and asked what the hell is going on. the agent was really frustrated and said, "i know, i know, he keeps doing this and i can't get him to stop." apparently the house has been on the market for almost a year now and he's only gotten 3 offers in that entire time because he keeps pricing it too high. every time he gets an offer he comes back with an even higher asking price. dude, that's not how it works!

the sad thing is, the longer it's on the market the more money he loses because he's already moved out of the city and bought a new home. he's carrying the mortgage while he plays games. and the longer it's on the market the more he has to lower the asking price. so at this point he's asking less than what he would have gotten if he hadn't screwed around with the first offer that came in a year ago. and still, he plays games.

so we're going to walk. we sent back a counter-counter offer of the exact same amount of money, showing him that it's final and we're not budging. we have absolutely no doubt that he won't see reason so we're going to have to walk.

so. no. we haven't found our dream house yet.

i was actually coming to this thread to post this:

http://a.abcnews.com/images/Health/ht_shock_060727_ssv.jpg

I DON'T WANNA BUY A HOUSE ANYMORE!!!!!

:(

[trisherina]

You never know. People do some crazy-ass things when they sell their homes, wanting to squeeze out that last dollar at the last second. Good luck.

eta: if nothing else, at least you have the data that your seller's unsophisticated -- if it does you any good is another story

[auntie aubrey]

^ quite insightful. the seller sheepishly submitted a second counter offer about 8 hours after his ridiculous counter and told us to disregard the first one. the second one accepted all of our provisions and asked a price that's right about where we wanted to be in the first place. our realtor said, "i've never seen anything like this."

i'm so tired. i haven't been sleeping well. and the stress hurts my tummy.

[lukkucairi]

^ sounds like the seller remembered his meds today :)

sign the papers, quick!

[Hyakujo's Fox]

Call me cynical...

Bad Cop: a counter offer that's higher than his original asking price.

Good Cop: i know, i know, he keeps doing this and i can't get him to stop.

[trisherina]

But it doesn't profit the realtor at all if the buyer walks away pissed off, esp. after a year on the market... in fact, a rise in price does little for the realtor in any case, unless it's truly substantial, since he's only getting a small percentage of the rise vs. the big loss incurred via the risk of the buyer walking away. So as a betting person, I say the realtor is not playing.

[Stephi_B]

Feel that I've come again into the (uncontrollable, unforeseeable, sort of weird) gears of major changes, just like in 1996/7, but starting from a way better position than back then.
This phase, some weeks ago, when I felt lost in the nowhereland of feelings was some prelude to this, I figure.
Gotta let myself surprise what happens this time... :)

[brightpearl]

Groooooaaaaaan.
I feel like warmed over roadkill.

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

I feel so proud and happy and satisfied! I managed to persuade myself to start working on the translation, the deadline of which is drawing nearer. I was woking hard all day! (Well, almost the whole afternoon.) The pressure of impending doom has been shifted a bit and if all goes well... who knows? I might even finish it in time. :)

[lukkucairi]

I feel exhausted and beaten down - it has been a fwk of a day.

I feel weary of dealing with people who don't have the personal grace to refrain from passing on their bad mood to everyone around them. Some people just love to piss on strangers who happen across their path - and I deal with so many people that I seem to run into a truly difficult person about once a month. Today was that day. A lady who had previously been interested in working with me took issue with a miscommunication we'd had three weeks ago, and reamed me out when I called her this afternoon. It was surreal - she developed a tremolo - her voice was vibrating with fury. There was nothing I could do to explain or apologize - she just wanted to yell. So I let her yell at me, and then she hung up.

Being yelled at brings everything to a point. I don't take attacks personally - but it does make me feel fwking wretched in a tired, disgusted sort of way. Make no mistake - I am profoundly glad that I won't be working with this woman, and I'm thanking whatever lucky stars I have that this came up before we'd solidified our work relationship. But still. Ugh.

I feel like tomorrow has to be better than today.

[brightpearl]

^ugh. Sorry lulu. :( but I love you so you can tell that lady's icky karma to go stick itself someplace else.

I'm all relapsed and stuff. Back to feeling like warmed over roadkill, like I'm breathing through a straw. I may hafta go to the vet tomorrow. My little boy made himself dinner, so cute. :)

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

It can't last long now ;) , get better soon. Drink lots of
http://www.reallynatural.com/archives/hot-tea.jpg

[lukkucairi]

thanks brightpearl - I feel much better today :)

hope your relapse unlapses :(

I still have my cough from 2 weeks gone - this crud is awful stuff.

[Veruki]

I feel forgotten by Marcus.
I also feel nature is knocking and I've lost the keys.

[Marcus Bales]

I feel confused

[Coffee]

I feel unable to get worried about my current company going out of business.
I feel like there are possibilities out there waiting for me.
I feel that just perhaps this latest lottery ticket will be "the one".

I feel that 2 outa 3 is good enough at this time.

[Marcus Bales]

I feel funny.

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

I feel anxious. I'm going to get a new printer this afternoon. I don't like those tricky questions they usually ask me when I buy computer-related stuff. :confused: I never seem to understand a single question. :eek:

[Marcus Bales]

I feel sleepy -- and that's not good because I have an important meeting in 45 minutes.

[Jaime]

Eager anticipation.

I'm performing tonight! My play is a bit of a tear jerker too. It's strange and seems a bit mean to have a goal to make people cry.

[brightpearl]

^Maybe you should think of it as helping them cry rather than making them cry.

[lukkucairi]

^ agreed :)

I feel harrassed and annoyed and on the verge of being overwhelmed.

I think I'll go take the dog for a walk here in a bit.

[auntie aubrey]

i am definitely overwhelmed and i will start manifesting that feeling by snapping at the people around me. i'm more afraid of the manifestation of the feeling of being overwhelmed than i am of being overwhelmed.

I don't know why, but all of a sudden I feel like talking to Trisherina.

[Stephi_B]

Panic is receding (for the moment), I feel halfways productive and a strong looking-forward-to-the-weekend feeling is setting in :)

[Marcus Bales]

Great! have some beans and rice with sauteed chicken breast medallions!

[auntie aubrey]

i feel excited that battlestar galactica is premiering tonight. can i get a what what from the rest of the nerds?

[Coffee]

I feel like getting hooked up to TV once in a while...last time was when ST-Voyager series started.

[Marcus Bales]

I feel like I don't even know you people.

[Jack Flanders]

what what!!

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

Great! have some beans and rice with sauteed chicken breast medallions!

But you said:
Sorry, I don't share.

[lukkucairi]

^ that marcus, such a walking contradiction.

I feel like I've just woken up after having suffered through an hour's worth of sleep paralysis

p.s. what what! ;)

[Frieda]

i feel bad-- my wisdom tooth hurts :(

[auntie aubrey]

i feel good that my nerd sisters didn't let me down.

[Marcus Bales]

that marcus, such a walking contradiction.


I don't share 7-foot drag queens; I do share medallions of chicken breast. Try to keep up.

Today I've had a very interesting headache. I've never experienced anything like that before. It afflicted only one quarter of my face. The upper right quater. Its worst part lasted only about 20 minutes, but the pain was so intense that my nose started running as if I was crying. I took a pill, opened a window, drew the curtains, drank some water, lay down for a while. Most of the pain's gone. The interesting part was that only a part of my forehead hurt, the bones around my right eye and the right side of my nose. Also, my eye felt as if it was growing slowly. Funny feeling. I wonder if it's connected with the tooth thing.

[Frieda]

^ cluster headache?

[auntie aubrey]

i don't feel particularly pregnant today.

[Brynn]

I feel fantastic.

[lukkucairi]

I just napped from 7 to 8:30 p.m.

I feel like someone stuck a maple tap in me and drained out half my blood.

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

^ cluster headache?

Now, having searched for some information on cluster headache, I feel really afraid.

[Stephi_B]

^Yes it sounds like one (my dad has them), or a variant of migraine (light-sensitivity, localisation of pain).
But before you get afraid, check again at a dentist, insist on an X-ray, an ill tooth nerve can cause such strong headaches - and if you never had cluster headaches / migraines before that should be the first thing to be checked, and then maybe also the sinuses.
Did you have an infection recently, a flu or something? (see below, why I ask that)

Because I had migraine attack periods only 4 times in my life: twice an ill tooth nerve, once extreme stress (diploma exams + finding/moving to flat 800 km away in extremely small time window) and the most severe case last spring where it lasted ca. two months with almost daily an attack (very unusual for 'normal' migraines / cluster headaches), until the docs finally figured out that a slight meningitis caused by a previous flu was the only reason left (I spent 6 weeks - when I was not just lying under my blanket trying to not get crazy by the pain and sickness - sitting in waiting rooms at each and every specialist) - by the time they figured that out it was healed already, but I thought I'd go mad up to then!

Good luck girl!!

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

Thanks Stephi, you're an http://www.nordinho.net/vbull/images/smilies/angel.gif

next week I'll go to see my dentist again if things get worse. Meanwhile I hope to God it's nothing from those scary things. It has never happened before and hopefully it won't return.

I only have migraines when I eat way too much and my stomach refuses to deal with the stuff I swallowed.

Now I feel good; it's promising.... :)

[Stephi_B]

You're welcome :) :o

That's a plan!

I feel glad my experiences with bloody-at-first-unexplainable-helluva-headaches have some use after all!

And I feel better as yesterday, when I had another panic attack cos of my thesis
and had a WAH-WAH-WAH explosion unfortunately affecting two of my nice colleagues :o
(but they were very nice and understanding! :)).
I rediscovered my hops pills, lovely yellow babes these are ;),
slept like a baby for 9h last night and feel calm today, but productive nevertheless :)

[Frieda]

i feel scared-- my wisdom tooth is going to be cut out :(

[lukkucairi]

I feel empathy for Frieda!

teeth pulled is no fun :(

[T.I.P.]

^^ good luck !

i hope the surgeon will be in and out like world class tooth thief.

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

^^^ Oh, that's very bad! I feel sorry for you. :( Maybe a prayer to the Tooth Fairy... and after the whole thing is over, promise yourself to buy something cool to celebrate the fact that it's over. ;)

[Frieda]

thanks guys :) i'm going to pray to the tooth fairy every day till my surgery.. have to wait till may 8 and i hope i dont freak out before that.. i'm seriously scared shit.

[brightpearl]

^Aw, pobrecita. I had to have all 4 of mine out when I was a teenager...there was just no room for them. Honestly it wasn't too bad. They're not in a place where you can accidentally bite down on the spot, you know? So they just kind of heal up back there without much input from you. I remember them cautioning me sternly not to use straws until I was all healed up...apparently the suction can open the wound again, and that would cause the healing process to be unusually painful. And I was careful about what I ate and how I chewed -- it wouldn't do to get Captain Crunch stuck back there. :eek: But other than that it was a snap.

It'll be okay. You're a tough old bird. ;)

[Stephi_B]

i feel scared-- my wisdom tooth is going to be cut out :(

Ouch :(

Good luck!!!! Gonna think about you on that day!



Feeling enervated by bloody November weather and waste-of-time seminar today - otherwise OK.

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

I feel jumpy-happy :) :) :) I finished the translation which was due on 31/3. Umm, maybe this should go into the procrastination thread. But I'm happy anyway.

[brightpearl]

I've been feeling sad off and on for several days now.

[lukkucairi]

I'm feeling trepidation

I'm feeling mildly hopeful

I'm wondering how I'm going to fall down and skin my knees *this*time

I'm wondering if maybe this time I won't

I'm feeling like I shouldn't be thinking too hard about it

maybe I should go study some more

maybe I should just go to sleep

but I'm not feeling tired enough

I feel, in general, pretty good.

[Hyakujo's Fox]

I've been feeling sad off and on for several days now.

so feeling not-sad on and off? :)

[brightpearl]

:) I was sort of basing it on percentage.

[Hyakujo's Fox]

scientist! :p

[Brynn]

brightpearl, I feel happy whenever i read your posts and I hope you find your happy corner of something small that you can hold in your hand and carry around today and tomorrow and later on to glow on those not-so-good days.

[Frieda]

i feel like i'm on vacation!

[Stephi_B]

^I feel like I like how Frieda feels :)

Otherwise I feel like sugar and spice - just fine :)
-- that's sort of eerie for a Monday, but I don't feel like I'd like to bother about that now ;)

[lukkucairi]

I feel like everything's in flux again

[auntie aubrey]

^ that's not necessarily a bad thing.

http://www.mtv.com/movies/photos/a/aeon_flux_stills_041220/a.jpg

ggggggrrRROOOORRrrrrr!

[lukkucairi]

now if only I could figure out how to catch flies with my eyelashes I'd be all set :)

[auntie aubrey]

as long as you don't die at the climax of every adventure, you'll be fine.

[Stephi_B]

I feel as if kissed by kismet.

:)

[Frieda]

i feel kind of scared because maybe i'll almost die again this friday

anyone been in a controlled provocation test for an anaphylaxis check?

[lukkucairi]

^ack :eek:

you're going into a controlled provocation test?!

good luck! that sounds like hell!

[12"razormix]

you're going to be ok, frieda.

[Coffee]

*hugs*

You HAVE to be ok Frieds...you will be.

(but ya, that sounds scary :eek: :eek: ... vibes heading to you across 2 continents and an ocean)

good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes good vibes

[Frieda]

yeah well it's either that or having tooth surgery without painkillers (and i have a pain disorder or course)

they're only going to test the painkillers that might affect me, not the one that i already know im sensitive to.. so maybe nothing will happen! i hope so, anyway.

thanks for all the good wishes :)

[Stephi_B]

^My fingers are crossed for you!!

[skip intro]

hey, at least it's controlled.

[Marcus Bales]

I feel like Skip Intro has the best name

[Frieda]

hey, at least it's controlled.

yeah.. i trust they will save me with an antihistamine & epinephrine shot if i get this anaphylaxis business again. i promise i will shout "ZEMONKEYS 4EVAH" when they bring me back to life :p

[lukkucairi]

*hugs* frieds, they won't let you die - and I hope you can find a pain med that works for you.

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

I feel in my guts somebody's going to feel propiolic sooner or later.

[brightpearl]

I feel all higgeldy-piggeldy.

[skip intro]

stochastic?

[Marcus Bales]

I feel all higgeldy-piggeldy.

Higgledy piggledy

[auntie aubrey]

my injured finger would like to discuss its feelings, except it hasn't got any.

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

I feel Fridayish. Also, Fridaish, as if there was a controlled provocation test lumbering somewhere all too near.

[Frieda]

ok i'm off and i still feel scared



but i'll be back :cool:

[Hyakujo's Fox]

Good Luck!!! :)

[Frieda]

i'm back, feeling very relieved!

nothing happened, i'm just a bit doped from all those painkillers :):):)

[Marcus Bales]

What do you mean "nothing happened"!? We're all poised for a story, a narrative, an apocalyptic bang, and what do we get? This "nothing happened" whimper! Make something up!

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

What do you mean "nothing happened"!? We're all poised for a story, a narrative, an apocalyptic bang, and what do we get? This "nothing happened" whimper! Make something up!

Oh, Frieds, Marcus is just being testy. He's trying to make a controlled provocation test of his own with you. Let those painkillers do the work for you now... ;)

[Frieda]

ok OK OK i'll tell the whole story then

i arrived at the hospital this morning at 8, was taken to the intensive care unit, got into a hospital jacket & pants thing (sexy open back *cough*) was scared shit for the iv needle-- nice lady went completely through my vein instead of inserting it.

then i got stickered with patches and was hooked to a heart monitor, a saturation meter and one of those things that go around your arm to measure blood pressure.

the professor came by and gave me ibuprophen and i had to report how i was feeling every 10 minutes to the ICU ladies. they had some sort of issue with my heart rate at one point, it being too slow at 65bpm, but i explained that that's normal for me.. and my low blood pressure too.

so nothing weird happened, no anaphylaxis, not even a sneeze or a cough or a swollen throat, so an hour later i got the next dose of ibuprophen.. then another and another and another, and at 2 this afternoon i could go home again!

i did get two antihistamine tablets in case i have some sort of weird late response.. the instructions are to eat those pills, call an ambulance, open the front door and lie down till the paramedics arrive.. but i think i'm fine :)



there were some odd people in the ICU though.. they all had some sort of eye surgery and came in with ventilators and bleeding eyes. it reminded me of that movie Event Horizon.. gruesome.

[Stephi_B]

^Feel very happy that you had no problems :):):):)

And enjoying the detailed report ;)

I also have this low heart beat / low blood pressure thing! (You also have problems getting in any 'higher gears' in the morning, I guess?) Ibuprofen rocks!

Whoa, that last part is sort of creepy :eek:

Were there some hot dudes (assistant docs, paramedics, patients) to give your eyes some pleasure during the boring parts? ;)

[Frieda]

no i dont have higher gears :o morning or afternoon is quite the same.. evening is a bit better though..

no hot folk out there.. you can;t have everything i guess :rolleyes: ;)

[Stephi_B]

(OK I forgot to mention that my 'morning' goes till about 4pm, I have higher gears, but that jump on only after 11pm... I need a night-job ;))

Hmm, yeah, I guess so... :rolleyes: ;)

[Odbe]

Today while working a weekend job at the local vet hospital, I saw a couple of men run in holding a large struggling animal wrapped in a pile of very bloody towels. The consult room isn't very big so I had to get out of the way and go elsewhere until it had been dealt with.

Later I found out that the animal was my neighbour's dog and it was dead. This dog was one that I knew very well. I had grown up playing with it - or perhaps playing wasn't the best word, as it was a somewhat territorial and bad-tempered animal. But I learned about dealing with aggression from it, and from mediating countless disputes between it and my dog.

I'm not really upset about it - my heart goes out to my neighbours and their children, but it wasn't a young dog or particularly friendly.
What did shock me was the realisation that it did actually mean something. I still imagine it sniffing around the nature strip out the front every time I visualise the street and I can't think of the neighbour's ute without the dog barking out of the back of it.
Sure, I didn't love the dog, but I thought of it as a part of life. It has always been there, it is always there, and I still expect it to be there. I only saw it as a bundle of towels and then as a body bag, so why shouldn't it be?

Strange to be so moved by something that affects my life so little.

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

Strange to be so moved by something that affects my life so little.

Yes, I've fell like that several times, too. :( Repetitive experiences lull us into trustfulness that things will always be like that, until reality shocks us from our false beliefs.

[lukkucairi]

I saw a terrible thing today

A mother duck leading her ducklings out onto the middle lane of the freeway. I passed them in the fast lane and there was nothing I could do - it all took place in a second and a half. In my rear view mirror I saw cars going every which way trying to avoid them :(

I'm sure the slaughter was total as far as the ducks were concerned. I wondered if any humans had been hurt as well.

I thought, sweet jesus, what a fwcked up species we are!

[auntie aubrey]

I thought, sweet jesus, what a fwcked up species we are!

i don't follow. you said everyone was swerving to avoid them.

[lukkucairi]

It was the freeway-as-killing-field...the fwcked-uppedness that our civilization (out here at least) completely requires the existence of these horrible polluting structures that are bad enough in themselves, but that also kill millions of unlucky animals a year. It was the juxtaposition of the innocent/naive in the pointless slaughter zone, and the fact that we create so many pointless slaughter zones as a product of our culture. I don't let my heart bleed over every piece of roadkill I pass, but this was different, and very hard. We've created a system in which the arbitrariness of death is emphasized, and the "great cycle" aspect of death is minimized. That's what I got in those 1.5 seconds before the ducks got mauled.

I hate the automobile culture. I love to drive - there's nothing more fun - but cars are evil. That's the one thing I really do miss about living in a major city - the ability to exist successfully without owning a goddamn car.

[Coffee]

I feel your pain. I have always felt that a compassionate species would build elevated freeways, or at least build them over large diameter concrete pipes spaced a few dozen yards apart that would allow creatures the option of going under the roads rather than over them. My heart always does bleed a little bit at every bit of road kill I pass...regardless of species.

[auntie aubrey]

i feel like i've been beaten with a baseball bat. we started on painting and re-doing the flooring in our new living room and every square inch of me hurts.

[trisherina]

I feel a slight rise in Gross National Happiness.

[Jack Flanders]

I feel glad to be alive. 1:30 this afternoon while driving home I stopped behind a car turning a slow left. I looked into my rear-view mirror out of habit and saw a car coming at me at about 50 mph. Yep - zip went my life before my eyes. I braced for the impact but it didn't come. The crazy bitch flew around me to my right, cut off another driver and then cut in front of me a few seconds later. I felt like pulling over and throwing up. Oh, and my back spazzed out from the tension.

[Frieda]

^^^ careful, you may produce 2 karate kids with all this wax on-wax off business ;)

^ ouch.. scary! glad you're alive!

[auntie aubrey]

I feel annoyed that I've been sitting in this doctor's office for an hour.

[lukkucairi]

I feel a sense of being bound to fate.

[Odbe]

Despair! :eek: :( My backspace key just came off with no provocation and it won't go back on. I can lose other keys, but not backspace - it's the one I use most often.

[Frieda]

^ the backspace is relatively easy-- do not remove your space bar though. it's fitted with some sort of hook clip system and will never clip back on. you will become a keyboard slammer :eek:

[lukkucairi]

I feel itchy.
