Old Man Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Re: The cranky thread God... why do you not give me a sniper rifle? God helps those who help themselves. I recommend Shotgun News, which is really the ultimate gun classifieds. Try and pick up something in .50BMG before they get banned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Re: The cranky thread The problem is' date=' I can't remember most of the time. Mainly because the shock of falling over something when I get up is so strong that it jostles it right out of my head. And the dreams have been getting weirder. People I haven't thought about in YEARS are showing up there. One recurrent theme is seeing how alternate timelines of my life would have played out (that's not what gives me nightmares, though). But whatever it is, almost every single time, when I wake up, I am practically lunging off the bed to get away from something.[/quote'] I have a theory that when you dream about someone you haven't seen in so long it's because your brain has to play back unused information before deleting it. Don't know what trips the chase dreams though. Those don't scare me so much--often in my dreams I turn the tables on my pursuers, usually with the help of my Pump-Action Dream Shotgun , and then awaken with a nice adrenaline rush. It's the twisted dreams that keep me awake at night, wondering what the hell is going on in my subconscious. Anyway, my other theory is that you aren't going to get past whatever's waking you up if you stay up every time it happens. You need to get back in there and confront whatever it is. Not that I have any idea what I'm talking about, of course. However, I'll let you borrow my Pump-Action Dream Shotgun . Hey, it can't hurt.

Bazza Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Re: The cranky thread I am getting tired and desperately want to sleep, but for the last several nights, I have woken up nearly screaming from nightmares. Nearly every night, I jerk awake shaking, then after falling out of bed in a mad dash to get away, tripping over stuff on the floor, and stumbling down the hallway toward John sleeping in the living room, I spend a good hour sitting on the loveseat near him staring at my bedroom afraid to go back inside and go to sleep. It's gotten to where I push myself until 3 in the morning in the hopes of being so exhausted that I won't dream.

Guest Skaramine Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Re: The cranky thread Well' date=' I got to dream about my grandfather, who has been dead for 5 years, lay in a hospital bed and have stroke after stroke all evening long and there was nothing I could do about it. I watched his pain and was helpless...[/quote'] Okay... that one I can't handle. My sympathy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aylwin13 Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Re: The cranky thread Have you tried PBEM? Yes, I had a character accepted, but the game never happened. I've considered trying to get into a game at HERO Central, but 2 things are stopping me. One is that I don't necessarily have enough confidence in my writing skills. The other is that I've looked for some type of writeup on form, etiquette, etc. on PBEM. I'd like some kind of guideline or outline on how the whole thing works. I don't want to go in with a bunch of veterans, and then stumble and fall on my face. If anyone can direct me to something like this, I'd appreciate it.

AliceTheOwl Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Re: The cranky thread Okay. I stop posting to the Mackbolan.com message board because this anal twit starts insulting religious folks who follow their faith and morality to SAVE lives in Indonesia, Thailand and India, saying they're intolerant racists, spreading the word of George W. Bush. I call him an asshole, and several other choice words, and I become the villain. Then, a month later, this freaking nitwit whines "aww, the board kind of is dying. I can't guess why, even though I've finally driven the last author off of this message board. I'll post movie and TV trivia questions to revive it." God... why do you not give me a sniper rifle? We used to have tha brand of moron on the board I help moderate. I kept a close eye on him, editing his posts for the slightest infractions and hanging out in the chat room to keep him in line, until the owner finally banned him. When the guy came back, he pulled the same crap again, and was immediately banned. The strange part of this is, he doesn't think he did anything wrong, and acts like I'm his friend whenever he does communicate with me. Blatant jerk I can deal with. Idiotic loser I have less experience with. So I pretty much just ignore him and hope he'll go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kind of thing makes me happy that I haven't been able to remember any of my dreams since I was a kid. Used to wake up with night terrors 3 or 4 times a week. Finally they pissed me off enough, and I just stopped having them, and stopped remembering any of my dreams. Been much happier since then.

Guest Skaramine Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Re: The cranky thread Of late, my dream arsenal has grown. Normally it's Berettas or revolvers, but last week I had the "lightning rail rifles" from John Ringo's series, the Warthog with chaingun from Halo, and just two nights ago, I added an AK-47 to my asenal. And, nothing takes out zombies like a length of rebar swung with unhuman strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
