I'm here. So I have Dr appointment tomorrow. Do you guys have any suggestions about how I can request specific sleep meds? I tried Seroquel and side effects too bad...I know he will suggest trazodone but I don't want that one.

The joys of chronic illness
Do you have much to get through? I thought you were almost done with everything.
The good thing today is i seem to have managed to get my oxygen regulator mailed out to me by the end of the week, so hopefully it will be here next week. Once i get some wrenches, and my nitrogen tank, i'm all set!
Oh, it's all the same stuff you've seen in real life and read about in books and articles. Nothing noteworthy to write home about. Thank you for always being so compassionate, though :)
What are your sleep issues? Is it sleep latency, waking up repeatedly, unrefreshing sleep, etc?
Cannabis helps me loads. Short of that, alprazolam/xanax seems to work wonders on me, and i've tried all the sleep drugs in vogue presently (to no effect).
It's so stupid. Some of hte drugs they say you can't take for more than 2 weeks at a time because of how addictive they are. So am i only supposed to sleep better for two weeks at a time? ridiculous.

Apparently my area now takes debit cards for lotto tickets.... so my mom wants me to use my debit card to buy her lotto tickets... oh and her boyfriend...
I just want to go home... They're not going to win, it's my effing money. And I really didn't want to have to transfer money fro my savings just to buy them effing lotto tickets...

Yes, I am mostly through now. I'm pretty much ready to go. As I wrote in another thread just a couple of minutes ago, right now I'm mostly just waiting for the right trigger. I'm not in any major hurry to go, but I also don't want to be here much longer. But I think something is probably going to happen between now and the middle of February that will be the trigger- just the extra little push- that I need to do it. That's why I just wanted to have everything ready. Meanwhile, I'm just studying up on SN again, using table salt to measure out my doses, that kind of thing. If it's at all possible, when the time comes, I practically want to be able to do this in my sleep because I'm so used to it & know it so well. Someone on another thread published an article that said most people who succeed are able to succeed because they practice. That's what I'm trying to do here. I'm just trying to practice measuring and mixing the correct dose of SN, etc. I haven't done much drinking of the salt. I tried it once and it's very salty, but this is table salt, not SN. That will stay sealed until I'm actually ready to do it. Someone suggested using a straw, so I thought I might try that and see how it works. I'm mostly just trying different things and seeing what works best while I wait for my trigger.The joys of chronic illness

Uh, if you paid for the ticket then any winnings would be yours, not theirs.
I love Paul Lynde! @Carina & I were just discussing him yesterday.
Oh goodness yes I'm a regular Benadryl and unisom user nightly. Im so tolerant that it has no effect much anymore. I get Xanax but I really don't want to use that for sleep anymore...I want to save them.

Practice like your death depends on it?
And yeah it should... but really, well, it'd get back to them anyway lol.
and yep... gotta love Paul Lynde!
Oh wow, our schedules just might line up lol. Thank god for public transit.
I read the same article! and i will also dedicate some time to practicing. i have been visualizing without materials, but i know itl'l be a different experience with a large plastic bag over my head.
Straw sounds like a good idea if you want to prevent tasting it as much as possible. Aaaagh i can't wait to get everything set up on my end. I am not long for this world.

Looking at one college and they say they don't have any grades or tests and instead do evaluations

I'll look more into it. It seems like an interesting college and has game design which I want to do
I've actually read about this before. It's like montessori for adults. There was a famous American "educational reformer" by the name of John Dewey who actually wrote a lot about the worth of traditional evaluation methods.
There are a small number of "deweyite" schools - including accredited universities - left in the US, that employ those principles. Some of them still give grades for practical reasons, from what i understand.

One also has to look at the agency providing the accreditation. Sadly, the Scammy schools have been able to get accreditation from agencies that sound legit, and have names similar to actual accreditation orgs, but all they provide is an official looking document.
I was looking at a place like that when I was looking into my second masters. I can't remember the name for the life of me right now, but it was legit.

Yeah, I mean anymore it's just good to get second/third opinions on schools... just in case... and not from the people who go there... they normally lie. lol

@Jean4, I've taken my shower, but I think it's still pouring rain outside. If it's raining I may wait till tomorrow to get my mail. I just dried my hair and I don't want to have to do it again. I don't know, maybe if I can find an umbrella. . . . . Seems kind of silly to have to take an umbrella to the mailbox. Actually, as much as it's been raining here I might need a boat. LOL!

Full sail is a decent one that caters specifically to it. Alot of graduates have went on to big companies.
