So, for example, just now I tried to visualize a banana. If I try to focus on any part of the banana, the other parts kind of disappear or fade a little. If I try to imagine that there is a monkey eating the banana, things become even more unreliable. As I devote attention to detailing the animal, or the chewing, or bringing the banana to the monkey's lips and then back down, other parts seem to blink in and out of existence. Almost like... focusing on visualizing the monkey, and the banana becomes the concept of banana and yellow, rather than the visualization thereof.<br /><br />Maybe some people are better at this than others. I certainly would like it if I were better at it.Miriam Boonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07799461200378079089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5963088279451800992.post-47716729415374022472015-07-23T15:56:37.485-07:002015-07-23T15:56:37.485-07:00Have you checked the freezer(s)?

The fuzzy "brain storm" feeling before and after are the worst. I usually stay aware or partially aware of what I'm doing, though I will often "go blank". It's like my brain jumps off-line for a few minutes. I'll know I'm doing something, or I'm somewhere in particular but I don't know where or what and can't recall. I'll tap my head and face a lot.Recently I have been waking up with things misplaced that have the same home every day and it's only me here (rosary, cigarettes, etc) They just go missing.

At first it was due to traffic plummeting thanks to whatever caused Crazymeds to do so poorly in the search results. Now that's not much of a problem. Instead no one is clicking on ads, because the ads are crap, because the click-through-rate was so bad thanks to ad blocking software.<br /><br />Other ad services have too many problems, like being incredibly annoying or always being rich media. If I don't have a text-only option, I can't put them on drug pages or the forum because there's no way to control ads that might trigger seizures or migraines.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00651325949922562096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5963088279451800992.post-69357017269510012062014-09-17T00:04:06.599-07:002014-09-17T00:04:06.599-07:00"Crazy Meds isn't making enough money to ..."Crazy Meds isn't making enough money to support itself and now this."<br /><br />I occasionally come here to try to catch up.

I keep links to here and to the actual site because I've always legitimitely thought it was a good resource and continued to direct people to it, regardless of whatever mayhem may have occurred. <br /><br />That said: I apologize if this is blatantly obvious and my question is dripping with ignorance but... what are some of the specific issues that are causing [or have been causing] CMs to lose money?<br /><br />I imagine they are not easily fixed or you'd just be doing it and not talking about it, since this is your "baby".<br /><br />I ask because it would be a shame for it to completely disappear or turn into HealthCentral [is that just my opinion?].

And the wood-burning one never worked. They're both over 30 years old and no one around here knows how to fix them.<br /><br />So it's been space heaters and wearing <i>lots</i> of clothing. The boiler was so inefficient that it costs a hell of a lot less to use space heaters.<br /><br />I spent a couple hours doing plumbing diagnostics. I need a pro - and the guy who has worked on this place for over 20 years is gone as well - but I'm pretty sure I know where the problem is. The symptoms say "leak" but it could still be one hell of a clog. If it is a leak the right way to fix it would involve tearing up the downstairs shower and at least one wall.<br /><br />As I can't find a legitimate contractor around here, I can probably find some guy who would be willing to run a pipe on the surface from the pump to the water heater. The tricky part is finding the connection to the upstairs bathroom, as the bathtub isn't getting any water either.<br /><br />A UNABOMBer shack is looking nicer every day.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00651325949922562096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5963088279451800992.post-81681617091439231872014-02-06T08:01:31.310-07:002014-02-06T08:01:31.310-07:00I'm so sorry!
