@jjGravitas well shit, that sucks rorry about that but that was out of your control - I didn't plan on taking a 12 hour nap like I ended up doing lol
@Marc_T_Benedict ummm, huh?
@duglop I wanted to step out & check for signs of northern lights but it overcast & developed into a loud thundering rainstorm. And in the middle east coast I probably wouldn't have seen anything anyway. #:'^(
@duglop
Weird that anyone would have a problem with pigeons, really. I think they're cute.
I love pigeons! I love the sound of their cooing! ♥️
@Spagesgallo1 @Wolfman thank you
@duglop I once left that children's album contaning greats like "Beans in my ears" playing at full blast on loop for one of my rude neighbors.
They moved their subwoofer away from the wall after.
@AskTheDevil @duglop They could also play “Easy Street” 24/7….the same song poor Daryl was tortured with in The Walking Dead. Believe me, after about 10 minutes, your neighbors will be banging on your door! 😂😂😂😂
@Wolfman @duglop
1st, I want to say thank you for your service!
I understand why you and thousands of other Vets deal with similar issues, along with stress related issues! I had a feeling. That's why I asked if you had served in the military. I can't imagine what you have been dealing with on a daily basis. I am so sorry that the VA makes it sound so easy to just stop being hyper vigilant! Like you said, it kept you alive while serving. It's not like a light switch. Again, I'm so sorry.
@Wolfman @duglop
That is so true about PTSD affecting everyone differently! Everyone is unique and will be affected to traumatic events in various ways. What a hellish aftereffect of feeling the most vulnerable when sleeping as a result of your service. But I hear you about having been
hyper vigilant having saved your life. It's obviously a coping skill that you carried over to civilian life. Not easy to undo. It's understood that you wouldn't feel comfortable trying to fix the issue now.
Dug, thank you for your service as well! I am so sorry that you are also affected by PTSD and anxiety! It always breaks my heart knowing that our Veterans are suffering! But, Congratulations on 10 years of sobriety! I'm happy you have found methods to help calm you. Music and animals can definitely be very therapeutic!
Yes I am the thing that goes bump in the night!
PS: I'm a Dem/Lib - deal with it!
I'm a VET - respect that!
