Combat them with raw logic and facts, that will make them shut up. I know what I'm talking about, I've won a number of conflicts with youtube keyboard warriors really fast.

^Lol. That has never worked for me personally, because those kinds of people can't understand the language of logic and facts. Their position is that of pure irrationality and madness. In fact, most times they don't even have their own opinion on the matter. They simply parrot the group consensus they've been led to believe in, often using buzzwords we're all too familiar with.

@Poryg HEY! Now that goes with my strengths as I am all logic when it comes to certain issues. (*inner Spock*) and all emotional when it comes to story and art. =^_^= It will give me an excuse to learn things, too.

Real talk in basic training i learned to sleep standing up. It was the greatest boon i ever recived, the only problem is that it only worked for like 10 minutes at a time. I had to wake up for a minute to stop from falling.

@trouble time hehe if there's one thing soldiers learn across all branches and nationalities it's how to fall asleep whenever and wherever the opportunity to safely do so presents itself.

Try going dining room to sit at the table to think of something for dinner, and the little person in your head switched the switch for sleepy time. I never had that problem before I slept sitting on my parents couch as there was no place for me to lay down. I never fell, but I keep hoping that my body will forget. lol.

I can relate to this...

This dawg knows what a real gift is...

For those "flushable wipes", you also gotta beware of how your toilet or plumbing's design. Our toilet is pretty narrow so not even thick toilet paper can be used. We must use ones that won't clog. If we clog the pipes and it's found to be our fault, we not only get a stink house but we get fined by our management for the damage. This is why knowing your plumbing is very important! >_< (management can be jerks.)

I do hope that you can have your problem fixed. >_<'

@Amane Kagari Yeah, the machine is sitting outside of the bathroom and is going to be done tomorrow. Not soon enough for my taste, but *yawn* at least, the smell hasn't filled the house... window and fan running. Yeah, management can be a pain in the butt. lol

Some already do.

@Poryg Yeah, well, the midwest section of the United State had all the cool weather, so lol. Have you ever tried to take a PUG to poop outside when they LOATHE puddles? No fun, not fun by a long shot.
@The Stranger Yeah, here in Colorado, we have two seasons: Summer and winter. =^_^= So, I'm either comfortable or a tiny puddle on the floor.

Awwh! A tiny, cat shaped puddle. =^.^=

@The Stranger Hmm, I am sooo going to draw that... =^_^= Tiny cat shaped puddle!

I starting feeling the way you do when it happened to my Mother. Loss is the Worst. Thing. Ever!

I'll try to hold off for another week.

(') If people in my town don't smarten up and slow down on that street next to my house, the next funeral is going to be MINE and my family. Another car accident right by my house... doh.

I don't blame you a single bit for that one. I think I am going to stick to cute adorable pet videos, games and other things other than politics. There's a lot of stupid people on facebook these days. (=-_-=)

I hate politics of 21st century. Too much politics and too little action. But I'm always ready to learn more about historical politics, interwar and wwii ones being my favorite topic.

@Poryg I agree with that statement, that there's too much talk and not enough action. We're in the middle of Sparta attacking and our politicians are discussing if we should send the army out to defend Athens.

Bye bye Cait =]

I've learned to overcome lack of sleep. It still sucks, and you still are unmotivated and apathetic, but I learned to force myself to work and do my other usual stuff. Had to, since sleep isn't something very popular in university.

The time I got sleep deprived, I got insomnia. The state goes --> sleepy --> goes really sleepy --> headache --> Insomnia. Had trouble recovering it bcz couldn't sleep, and didn't feel sleepy at all.

Usually my can't sleep moments is pure biological... my brain turns off my sleep center when I have to go to the bathroom and there's a situation where it mimics that feeling. So it turns off my sleep center and I can't stop it. Or hot, my little dud in my head won't switch the switch when hot.

Thanks! We've been told that it's only a matter of time, right now, he's been placed in a hospice. Right now, a mixture of sadness and logic points running through our heads.

Everyone has, or will, go through this. So, when someone feels for you, we remember our own sad times. You are not alone.

Yeah, I'm just trying to write the perfect obituary for my Grandfather, because he's an amazing man whom a lot of people lives he touched. I suppose we all go through this our grandparents, it's the most heart breaking time in your life... .. precious treasures that you'll never get again. Thanks for reminding me that no one is alone in this.. I appreciate it.

I spend a silly amount of time trying to make myself feel happy by watching sweet animal vids on YouTube.

@OmnislashXX I like to watch animal rescue videos while playing the song: I need a hero playing. =^_^= I always cry, even when I'm singing it myself.
@The Stranger Yeah, because animals are so funny and adorable. Who can stay mad at their cute little faces, even if people don't always agree on what's cute. lol

@Caitlin I thought this was very sweet:

OMG... Halloween is almost here... I need to start working on my thing... Great job with your recent tiles btw ^^

Yeah, I'm going to be adding tiles... walls, floors and other stuff that are sorely needed for a MORGUE. =^_^=

Absolutely, we've had the little bugger, since he was a wee puppy and he's never been hit at all. Of course, he, also, attacks the vacuum cleaner, LITERALLY. He's strikes it with his paw, but he's been a little better on that. Of course, there was only a single time with Lola who got into a brief tiff, and scared poor wee Shadow.

Without context I thought you were implying your actual shadow did a peter pan and ran off in fear.

@The Might Palm Yeah, my blue heeler puppy is named Shadow... a beautiful black and white dog with the sweetest loving personality, except he's afraid of fly swatters, vacuums and fireworks. The last two I don't blame him for, the fly swatter I'm confused about.
