Well, about a week ago my dad was gone and it was nighttime. I had my earbuds in and was listening to music. I thought I heard something so I took them out and listened. I heard a male voice, flipped sh*t and ran outside. I sat on the porch for about an hour. And within that hour, I heard footsteps, and music from a house across the street. I don’t know the people but know there are no teens, so no blaring music. I also could hear traffic. I was playing a game, almost. Guessing which direction a car would come from. I got every one right.
When I went inside, just after I shut the door my dad pulled in the driveway. I laughed, (not feeling very myself at the time,) and said ‘your too late’

since then, I suppose I HAVE been acting weird. Two days later my dad asked if I was okay, saying that I was in fact acting strange. Like at therapy I heard a cell phone ring. Somehow I knew it was outside, like somebody’s on the sidewalk. Then today I was at a friends and heard windchimes. I looked out the window and across the street and the house had windchimes.

I’ve been feeling weird now and then just feel..different.

And before you say drugs, no. I am 13, I don’t do that.

eversince i was little my dad would ALWAYS make me watch horror movies with him.im always feeling like im being watched,especially when im walking home from school.at night, i hardly sleep.for me the usual hours of sleep i get is about 4 hrs. sometimes when im alone i can hear someone talking to me but theres no one there.last night just before i began to feel sleepy.it got really cold suddenly and i felt like i was being choked.like i could feel cold hands around my neck and cold hands pressing on my chest.this lasted for about 3 minutes.then a cpl days ago i was at a friend’s house and me and my friends were all on the couch watching a christmas movie and when i paused the movie to go get a snack i started hearing windchimes and i knew my friend didnt have any windchimes put up and i was positive that her animals didnt have the collars that make those kind of noises. in my family there have been a couple people saying that they saw ghosts wat do you think is wrong with me????

My Mum used to put little bells on the washing line and they would tinkle in the wind, and my Mum would say Shh!! Can you hear his sleigh?
Until one day my Dad put the presents in the bedroom fell over and woke us up. Any he replied in his usual soothing way Get to sleep you ba$tards! Ahh the loving sound of my Indian (India) father brings back such gentle thoughts of a fathers way of telling you Father Christmas doesn’t exist!

My pregnant fiance & me are having a courthouse wedding with a few family members there this Friday. The next day, Saturday, we are having a BBQ reception party at her uncle’s house – he lives in the country and has a nice plot of land. Her dad has bought like 50lb of pork, 20lb of chicken, and like a veggie platter, and some random other things (theres going to be a live band also). Also, he has gotten like a 3 cases of beer. I think at most there will be like 30 people there (hopefully). I’m going tommorow, when I get paid, to get decorations for the wedding and liquor. What kind of decorations and liquor should I get? I have at most 0 budget to go on. I was thinking of white Christmas lights to put around the porch and other areas (there is going to be 2 to 3 fire pits there too). Liquor I planned on getting a big bottle of Bacardi and a bucket of fresh strawberries to make homemade fresh daquaries and some Tangaray (sp?) gin. What else can I get for decorations and liquor?

I have done research and found an online shop where i could buy crystals.

Dad said no and said he’s seen ones exactly like that at a local brick shop where they can be bought buy the bucket, rather than .50 per crystal.

Would these be suitable for crystal healing? Would they have the same effect?

Useful answers only thanks, no skeptics. Anything rude and your answer will be reported.

Otherwise please help, i don’t know whether they’d have the same effect, thanks in advance.

I have a strange leg condition, I have had it for about 5 years now where when I am running my left leg, starting at about the left hip down will become sluggish and unresponsive after I have fun the first couple of miles. When this condition began it started as an intense pain right in my left hip, right where the pelvis and thigh meat. It seems to me it had to be a nerve condition (pressure on the nerve channel or damage to myelin sheathe) or some minor obsruction of the circulatory channel through the area. Prior to this I was a very avid runner, running many miles a day (this way sort of my escape from the pressures of life) and I could some how use this as a catalyst to turn negative anxiety energy into a positive productive energy. I know some may say this seems like whining, but when you have grown used to the habit (as I had for several years and had come to rely upon it to keep me feeling uplifted) it really takes ahold of you: I know some people don’t even have the liberty to be able to walk, but I could run and as long as this was and is within my capacity, why should I not do everything in my power to fix my leg? Anyways I tried my doctor and a nerve specialist, and their results were inconclusive, but they didn’t really seem to be striking at a point of interest whenever I made it, usually jostling me around to another specialist so that it seemed to me I could just (or my insurance) shell out more money between them. My dad finally got me to see a "spiritual healer" (I know it sounds strange), it was the mother of a girl that worked for him from california. She assessed my leg and came to the conclusion that the "energy channel’ through my left leg had been damaged. She said I had a strong action mentality and that I was a ‘doer’, and this was manifest in my right leg, but that I didn’t feel supported (financially, and in the family etc.) which was at least partially true because I know my step dad and mother are both evil, and I am trying to find a way to make myself more independent of them in general and break off communication completely eventually. The lady also said that I had to eat sweet potatoes to increase the amount of "blue energy" that flowed through my left leg: I did and whenever I eat these I get pins and needles in my left foot for some reason and I does indeed feel like that part of my leg is healing (for instance, the left thigh will get sore like it is just recently recieving oxygen or the nerve is coming back to life in the area). Does anyone know what on earth is going on, i used to be kind of skeptical of spiritual aura, but not so at the moment. The lady even heard the music in my head that I was listening to when she looked at my leg, I was sort of freaked out (as if they could read my mind). Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do, I know just not being able to run seems like such a mundane and trivial matter, but to me it had actually become very important as rediculous as that sounds, like I said it sort of catalyzed my negative anxiety into positive productive energy and mentality and affected everything in my life in that way.
@ Chaoscleaner – Your mention of mind over matter is something I have given a lot of mind to as well and have researched, the statistics linking this emotional state of people and physical state i think is a very good sign, though some people are skeptical, emotional and mental state certainly has a very potent effect on physical status, it is in the medical statistics.
@ Sacred Chao – Thank you. Yes, this does make sense that the sweet potato would have been a tried method so it would be tied in with spiritual healing. I hope it is good for the soul : )

I’m 15 and my sister is 11. I can’t leave her alone at home when my parents are out. I was allowed to stay home when I was 11. It’s because my sister is scared. She still cries when my mom has to go to work and leave her home. When she is home alone it’s for no more than 30 minutes. During that time all she’ll do is eat and watch TV. We have a table in between our couch and TV which is almost completely covered with chips, snack wrappers, bowls of cereal, etc. It’s an amazement how she stays skinny. She also has a very slow social life. She rarely goes to friend’s houses. She’s extremely shy in public. Also I get woken up in the middle of the night by her yelling and crying for my dad because she has to go to the bathroom but doesn’t walk the 10 steps in the dark by herself. my dad has to go because she’s so scared is she doesn’t she’ll wet the bed. When I have to watch her at home she’ll start getting bored and singing/making random noises in the house really loudly. I can’t hang out with friends because of her, I’m losing sleep because of her, not to mention the really loud noises are really annoying. Someone please help.

The icing was made from scalded milk, black walnuts, and powder sugar. My mom gave me my dad’s cookbook but the recipe was gone. It was my favorite childhood cake.

I like to watch my son ride the kiddie rides with his dad. (I can’t even ride the s-l-o-w ones anymore–boo hoo.) I also have to see the paintings and the garden design entries.
This may be our first year seeing a monster truck show at the fair–exciting and a little scary. We’re taking cotton for the boy’s ears.
I learned to milk a cow at our fair last year. I can’t say it was my favorite activity ever, but it was … different.

I seem to recall that they were kind of a special thing-more than just a place to get a float.Weren’t they often in pharmacies? What did they serve,when was it, what killed them? I know soda had to be made-flavor plus carbonated water so bottled soda ended that. Does anybody remember them? Impressions? I’m trying to determine whether a revival would be successful and what aspects made it so apppealing. Thanks!
I’m really only half serious, but given the popularity of things nolstalgic, as well as the pursuit of non-mass marketed products (micro-brews,coldstone creameries,etc) i just wonder whether people would like it.i’m not as concerned with it being a huge money maker as I am with just providing something fun.lots of polished wood,stainless steel,marble (and really good products-my dad tells me fountain Coke actually was better). As I said though-it’s really just an abstract idea at this point!

My dad was trying to scoop up ice cream, and while he was doing that, his elbow hit a crystal bowl, and the bowl went flying across the kitchen!

Don’t you think that’s funny?!
Do you want to know how much that bowl was worth?
