Damsel in dis Dress said:Crash got a barebones system for me, and we're sharing that until his
is returned (he had sent it back for repairs). Therefore, I'll be
using Google until I have my own hard drive in this computer (Crash
inadvertently left my HD in the computer that he sent back). So, I
won't be posting a lot right away.
Good to see you back. I saw Crash in the chat room the other night,
and figured something was up on the 'puter front.

What's with all these hostile newbies? This NG is looking pretty toxic
right about now.

News on the health front (there's always something). As long as Crash
and I have been together, I've been beating the snot out of him in my
sleep. Screaming, swearing, punching, kicking, you name it. Finally
found out what it is. REM Sleep Behavior Disorder. What it boils down
to is that I physically act out my (usually violent) dreams. (Google
it)
D had a roommate in college who acted out her dreams. Her name was
Carol, too. Connection?

Very rare condition, usually suffered by middle aged and elderly males.
Most of the articles I've read online mention Parkinson's in relation
to this other thing. I've intentionally not read about that.Crash also reports me laughing boisterously for long periods of time
for no discernable reason. I have awakened twice while turning the
pages of a non-existent book. Crash says I also do a lot of writing in
the air at night.
Wow, I wish we could somehow record your REM prose. Or is it poetry?
The aesthetic possibilities are enough to make a Surrealist drool with
envy. And even though I'm not a Surrealist, I must confess to more
than a little interest, myself. Once in college, I awoke after the
last sentence of a dreamed essay on the impossibility of an ideal
language. Apart from finding it very convincing, all I could remember
was the last sentence.
I don't mean to make light of the situation, though. And I hope you
can find some degree of symptomatic relief.
OBFood: I have chicken wings in the oven for snacks for a happy hour
we're attending tonight. I have to cook them this morning because
I'll be working right up to party time this evening.
