As my recent walk today illustrated (I got back and felt like hell) it is also important to eat the right things too, I can't eat much but I feel better if I eat the right things for what I'm trying to do. My own blood pressure, when I have it checked (which isn't very often but possibly once every couple of years) has been normal, but it could be a factor for some people. You are right though Sa Skimrande, food costs money, more and more as each year goes on it seems - I find it difficult with my eating problems because I don't want to buy stuff in and then not be able to eat it and watch it rot away (talking about perishable stuff here) and the supermarket is too far away to just nip there if I want something to eat at that moment as its a 30 minute walk away and if I have no energy there's no way in hell I can walk there to get something to eat for the moment - but at the same time the closest shop is a lot closer but stuff there costs the earth because they have no competition and can charge what they wish and they don't stock much. Plus my priorities are skewed anyway because I'll spend 4 quid on a pouch of tobacco rather than on food - and seeing as smoking can suppress appetite and I don't do a massive amount of exercise I guess it doesn't help improve matters - it probably just does its part to reinforce the negative cycle I'm stuck in.

Yeah you are one of the "two" I referred to lol - its like watching a movie with some popcorn and a Pepsi and much better than the last couple of films I watched Somebody told me that this forum used to rank its members at one time - now that could cause issues!!! I'm also intrigued why nobody else has said anything here - my position is that I really don't check the "Todays Top Posters" link but I would have thought others would... or that they'd have some level of opinion... or questions such as: Why is it even there? What is it for? How many people look at it? What does it achieve? Why is it virtually hidden at the bottom of the page with the 'mod team' and 'overall top posters' links that are there either side of it? Why not make it clearer? Or have fun with it? Just a few thoughts

Maybe she was being "helpful" - some people think they are being helpful and don't realise that they are not helping at all.

Are you two going to battle for the top spot then - or are you both avoiding saying anything for fear of making the list

No comment about water - verges on conspiring to bring about death Yeah cuz I totally walk around with substances that could bring about an explosion all the time - it wouldn't work anyway, cuz then there'd be police investigations and I can't be doing with that stuff - and then assuming I got away with it there'd be roadworks for some time and that could potentially be worse than traffic At the moment - other than traffic - I am listening to the following - I feel its time for some tragic music

I feel like that when I don't eat enough and then exercise too hard (which in my state of fitness is walking at the moment) on Wednesday I nearly blacked out in the kitchen because I misjudged the timing of tea time - I had to shout my housemate to finish tea off because I couldn't physically stand up, I just slumped on the stairs and had to resort to drinking a high sugar drink to boost myself as I felt so rubbish I couldn't face eating at that moment. This was actually a bit of a shock to me because although I am and have been concerned about my food intake for some time now, I haven't had the severity of this feeling for a while - I've felt weak and dizzy and tired, but not to the point of almost blacking out - I guess that with a change in my routine, and the food I put in to my body relating to the energy used, it just fell too far into negative numbers. Could this be a possible cause for your symptoms Smiley?

The water might shock them into cardiac arrest and you'd get off with manslaughter or get away with it as they can't prove the intent was there

I believe I said throw water - never said anything about murder lol - so is this your plea for a law change to allow murder to be legalised in the case of snoring people? Mildly extreme reaction I think - although I suppose we can all be pushed to our limit with sleep deprivation.

Nope never played WOW although I did spend a week with a friend and watched them play and I could have easily got addicted to it - as such I decided to avoid it because I knew I would lose my life and oh how I wish I had played it because it isn't as though I did anything better with my life at the time - I could have had some fun instead!!!! I'm definitely unsure of some of my emotions, I sort of know what I'm feeling but it doesn't seem to tie in with words to describe the emotion itself if that makes sense? But yeah, I also don't see the need to display everything on my face - this can be good and bad - good for poker, bad if you can't talk and nobody can tell how you feel. I am forever grateful that I learned how to say some stuff to people because I found that with my blank face and lack of communication I was very isolated because of it, it was like sitting behind an invisible wall. When I was amongst people more often I also used to get people to tell me to cheer up fairly often, my neutral face apparently looks like I'm miserable, but like you, I refuse to go around with a fake grin - my fake smile looks like a grimace anyway, or I look like I'm being sarcastic or something. Of course I can smile if I am happy or if something is funny, and I can do so if I feel the need to be pleasant, but its a brief thing like "hey" and a fraction of a second smile to attempt to be friendly - but only if the situation requires it. When I was a kid my jaw used to hurt when I smiled, at the point near the bottom of my ear, it used to feel like a pressure point was being pressed really really hard, but that was only with a proper smile or when I laughed - thankfully I grew out of that cuz it really used to hurt!!

Yeah well the traffic lasts for 3/4 of a 24 hour period... Comparatively snoring is gonna be at a max of 8 hours... plus you can always throw water on the snoring person, you can't stop traffic without getting arrested anyway

Episode 9 - A window I am a window, not made of a sheet of plastic or glass, I am just a hole in a wall, a gap in the solid, a place to let in light and air. People look in me from outside and children creep inside and look out of me, if I were made of glass they might see their own reflections dancing in the light, but I am just an open space in a wall, the sun streams through me and the wind howls into me and rain pours into the gaps and water floods in. One day other people arrive, they look at the building I am part of and they want to "do it up" I don't know what that means but I have a front row seat in this spectacle of a show as they clear rubble and dirt, as they walk the boundaries planning things and sharing ideas. I watch their excitement and worries, I listen to their plans and I don't know what they mean but I find myself happy, fearful excited and anxious, as the people feel those emotions. They measure everything and as someone approaches with me I worry that "measuring" will hurt, it doesn't and I soon forget my concerns. Machinery arrives and starts ripping things apart and I am stuck, helpless, observing the chaos as my world gets turned upside down. Several weeks later I start to see a change, things are being built rather than destroyed, and a new world takes shape before my eyes, the place is transformed bit by bit and I start to feel I might have a place here as the crumbling brick is restored, and the building becomes a vision of light and space that seems so very different to what it was before. One day a man arrives, he gives me a new frame, a new shape, he puts glass into me and the world takes on a new form, I remember all those years ago when I had glass, except that was dingy and dusty and this new glass is light, bright and warm. I watch the place fill with objects and items and it takes on a new life, a new meaning. One day the people move in and I worry about my future again, but I soon find out, my future is to be the one who lets the light in, who keeps the world outside at bay while revealing it whenever anyone should wish to see. I show the world, and every morning the people get up and they look out of me, they give a contented sigh and smile everyday at their home and their world and the things they have achieved with it. They clean me and play games with each other pulling faces as one works outside and the other inside and I play piggy in the middle as they play, they wave to each other through me while one sits indoors and the other tends the garden. And I get to share all of this, to keep their world safe, warm, dry, I share the hope, the light, the happy times, the sad times when they pensively stare through me because of the worries in their world, and I'm part of it yet separate, an observer of their lives, a part of their lives.

I'd pay up to 30 quid for something cuz snoring drives me insane - but I'd pay a bit more if the solution was 95% effective, maybe peak it at 50 quid. That way instead of making snorers feel like shite they could snore away (assuming they snore naturally and there isn't some underlying medical condition) and everyone else could sleep peacefully regardless of the excessive noise. Such a solution has potential for other areas of noise too, traffic, places with load machinery, airports, race tracks, death metal concerts - especially if a portable in ear, wire free device were invented, where the frequency and amplitude could be adjusted, the possibilities are quite broad even with my tired morning mind Then again there's always ear plugs

1. Did you "see" 2. Er... you put one in and dangle the wire off the side of the bed so that you don't strangle yourself in your sleep 3. You could make a lot of money helping the sleep deprived 4. I can be very trying
