As always, highly efficacious use of the taxpayer's buck, prioritising investigation of crimes not committed.
Not one constable showed up when kids were detonating explosives outside my window every hour of the night, for 4 days in a row.

Sorry you've had to endure this fuss, miss.

Again, it's a different perspective. Doesn't really matter if they're just running an errand, or in need of something, or passing by.
Suppose what matters is, do you want to find out?

Perhaps you consider yourself a burden, but I was pertaining to his viewpoint. When I had felt depressed or suicidal in the army, it didn't really matter what sort of connection I had with the person who intervened: that they cared enough to remember me and reach out, was important to me.
You don't have to believe me on this. But if there's some part of you which feels different - as mentioned, it bids exploration.

By the way, if I'm not mistaken padre was recruited as a cadet instructor recently - my first few months at the army were difficult, and the same applies to others as far as I've seen. I think he'd appreciate a message from a friend.

What exactly do you fear?

If you remember zirbel, he once wrote this tip which I found quite helpful to get through troubled nights:

A good an very helpful method asleep quickly (even if you don't feel tired) is the following one:

• Lie down and close your eyes.

• Roll up constantly your eyballs as high as you can – while keeping the eyes closed!

You will asleep in less then 15 minutes, without fail!

It's not painful, but the first times it irritates a bit. But hold on and concentrate solely on this exercise. There is no health risk at all.

Â

The scientific background is:

While we sleep, our eyes turn completely upward in a way we can not deliberately bring it. But the above exercise sends a clear signal to the brain: “Oh, I (nearly) sleep.†And brain can fall asleep.

Try it out, several times, it's really helpful!

[Good feedback from other help.com users! It works!]

If I can fixate on a certain point high point without moving for long enough, whatever thoughts are staving off sleep will eventually meld into dreams.

Dear kovusshame,

To be frank, I deemed you more determined than lazy judging from these ordeals. People abandoning a path through loss of motivation can be observed all the time, just by noticing and following or recalling certain endeavours.
I can relate to wanting little for myself, and disinclination to seize it from others. However, also have an obligation towards people who rely on me, or rather extending mutual devotion. Won't claim to understand how you see things, but I think you did feel something positive towards this place, to return here? These sort of whims, I find rather interesting to follow.

Cake mix cookies - why do my cookies turned out either burnt or are too liquid?

It's a fairly narrow window for perfection in my experience - textbook tip is "when golden-brown", then let them cool on the rack, hardening as they do. Ovens differ, so I refrain from relying on time other than my own measurements - just stick around and check frequently.

Alright.

I see there's a ton of anon users without posts or replies, are these the orphans which you'd mentioned?

(You prolly got helpbot's timeout in the post of legends, right? Ultimate test case. :P)

So I go into a walk in clinic around 2 weeks ago, they say I have the flu, prescribe me tamiflu, so I take it, the next day I'm in the hospital for two weeks for allergic to tami flue, plus the flu

Tragic. Necrotic pneumonia is about as ghastly a phrase as imaginable...
Sounds like a permanent condition - have you looked into the social security front?
