I googled it....Definition of Hypnagogic hallucination
Posted By: Jan on 2009-03-07
In Reply to: I know it' not the Xanax....because - MT1
Hypnagogic hallucination:
A vivid dreamlike hallucination that occurs as one is falling asleep. The opposite of an hypnopompic hallucination which is a vivid dreamlike hallucination that occurs as one is waking up.
As yuo see it is exaclty as I explained it in my 1st post.
You should thank me instead of calling me 'Dr.Jan', unless you really mean it.
It seems that you are already now addicted to Xanax, as you defend it so fiercely.
Good luck!

Sounds like sleep paralysis (and possibly hypnagogic hallucinations) to me. sm
If it has only happened to you a few times in your life, it's probably nothing to worry about. It happens to some folks now and then.
It can, however, sometimes be a sign of other sleep problems (like chronic sleep deprivation, or even narcolepsy) and, if it persists, it would certainly be worth mentioning to your physician, who may decide to have a sleep study just to investigate further.
Shouldn't I have a better self-definition by now?? sm
I am up early, not sure if this will interest anyone, but want to sort of wonder "out loud" on here for a moment. I am 40 years old, yet I still am ambivalent about my religious beliefs, my political beliefs, etc. I find myself not being steadfast either way...I don't know if that means I don't yet know who I am (though by now you would think I should!) or if that means that I am just always going to be a flexible thinker? I sometimes read posts on the liberal board and the conservative board and I can always see both points of view and find ways that I feel they are both right and sometimes both wrong so I never lean to far to either side. I grew up going to a Christian church and I believe in the general overall beliefs of Christians, but then I don't discredit other religions that others grew up with either. And I don't necessarily agree with everything that most mainstream Christians believe. Does all of this mean I am ignorant? Or is it ignorant to be too closed-minded to believe that others also have valid points of view, that I don't always have to be right, and that there is more than one way to be "right"? So sometimes I feel "undefined" and wonder how I can ever define myself...then other times I think I have defined myself exactly as I want to be. Does anyone else feel "undefined"? and is it a good thing or a bad thing?
Another definition of a sex offender
I read about this some time ago and really do not remember which state but a man got out of his car and relieved himself on the side of the road, arrested and charged with being a sex offender. Anyone with just an ounce of sense should really think before they pull such stunts.
Definition of a single man...
... I heard this and told it to my then-husband, who, oddly enough, did not find it funny. (Perhaps because the shoe fit all too well.)
Anyway... this lady said that many men basically had their d*ck in one hand and their umbilical cord in the other, and were looking for a place they could plug them both in....
I think it depends on your definition of quality...sm
Iams, Eukanuba Science Diet, Purina Pro Plan, Nutro, etc. (found at Petsmart, Petco) are considered 'premium' foods, and they *are* better quality than, say, Purina Pedigree, Walmart's Ol' Roy (~shudder~), Kibbles N Bits, and other such brands that can be found in your local grocery store.
Just look at the ingredients. The cheaper, grocery store brands have grains as the very *first* ingredient (rice, corn, whatever) - not meat, or even meat meal. Dogs are carnivores. They need very little in the way of grains (carbs) - they need meat, but of course grains are cheaper than meat.
I guess it just depends on what you can afford to feed, and how important you think diet is. There have been lean times, long ago, when we've had to feed Pedigree to our dogs. (Not for long, thank goodness.) As we've been able, we've 'upgraded' so to speak. We went from Pedigree to Authority (which is a Petsmart brand) to Iams, to Eukanuba, to now, Innova (except my senior is on prescription Science Diet L/D for his elevated liver enzymes - though that may change as I've never been a fan of Science Diet & it doesn't seem to be helping anyway...)
But, if you can afford to feed better food, the premium brands are a step up from the 'grocery store' brands. Even better are the 'super premium' foods that can't be found in Petsmart or Petco. You usually have to find a small local distributor for these brands (Innova - what we currently feed, Flint River, Canidae, Solid Gold, etc. are considered super premium).
A step above the 'super premium' dry food is super premium canned food (because it has even more meat), and then a step above that is preparing the food yourself, with fresh ingredients (there are some good books out there for this, but I'm not that ambitious yet!)
I wish I had a good website to direct people to for all this. Most of this stuff I learned from the Siberian Husky listserv group I used to belong to. It's interesting stuff.
I agree with the person who said vets aren't experts on pet food. They aren't, because they aren't nutritionists. And from what I've heard, many vets are heavily influenced by Science Diet, (and other companies) starting from the time they're in vet school. As I said, Science Diet has never impressed me.
What I'm not quite understanding in all of this is why some people seem to be blaming individual pet food brands, when the problem came from a tainted ingredient that went to so many *different* brands.
The thing is, there are a lot of pet food companies, but there aren't a lot of pet food ingredient *manufacturers* here in our country. So I wouldn't hold this current tainted pet food problem against any certain brands, because I don't think we can really trust any brand where any of their ingredients come from outside our country, which *I think* means most brands other than maybe some of the super premiums. (Don't quote me on that though, I'm still investigating!)
If one wanted an accurate definition
of maturity, one would not be referred to your posts. We have harmed no one. Look in the mirror and say the same thing. . dare ya.
clarification of a definition of a word
Using sex as a weapon:
Definition: Not having sex with your husband to punish him.
And it is not using sex as a weapon or as a reward to boink his brains out to make him remember why he loves you so much and has been married to you for so long.
I found a definition of what I feel - I'm very happy to know I wasn't imagining it (sm)
AMBIENT ABUSE
The fostering, propagation and enhancement of an atmosphere of fear, intimidation, instability, unpredictability and irritation. There are no acts of traceable explicit abuse, nor any manipulative settings of control.
Yet, the irksome feeling remains, a disagreeable foreboding, a premonition, a bad omen. This is sometimes called "gaslighting". In the long term, such an environment erodes one's sense of self-worth and self-esteem.
here, I googled that for you.....s/m

I Googled my first love...
This guy was from years ago but he went out of the country (guess he couldn't cut it here) to be a so called "doctor." Yeh, right. Anyway, he sat up an office and gives the physical exams. Guess you can do that in the state where he lives and goes by the name Dr. so and so. He tries to pass himself off as a big timer and yet, when I googled his name found a recent bankruptcy he TRIED to take. Funny, the courts turned him down, told him to tighten his belt and quit trying to live the high life. Oh, I love Karma!
Some ideas I googled.

Here's some ideas :-)
I also had googled a TL with my last pregnancy...
5 years ago to research it and had found that informative site. It scared me into not doing it and glad I didn't. I'm on the Pill and hardly get a period, plus it lowers your chances of getting cervical cancer due to not ovulating. I would say no to doing it. I feel bad for the women who have.
Just a guess - and I googled it LOL
Primatene mist - $$$$
I googled a question and it sent me here...nm

I googled and found this....sm
Apply this professional strength, 5% USP-grade vitamin K cream twice daily and see spider veins disappear... and stay away! BarmonŽ Vitamin K Cream is also great for healing bruised, sunburned or damaged skin and fading scars.
Googled the video today
I don't see what the big deal is with the video. It showed him hanging for a few seconds and really was all over the place.
Just googled Fox (can't watch TV when working) and (sm)
There is a picture of her sobbing uncontrollably in the police car. I was hoping we would actually get to hear it, but no. Wouldn't you think they could have used their cell phone audio to give us some sound? - LOL
Googled him but couldn't find sm
anything specific until you posted about the prophet. Thank you. It is quite beautiful. I am seriously considering it.
Googled it, glad it's only 20 bucks - thanks!!
...
I googled S Hour Sleep and could not find.

I found lots of hits when I googled
nasal wash for fungal sinusitis. Lots of info out there.
Consider having your heating/air-conditioning ducts scrubbed out by one of those companies that sucks it all out into their truck. The effective way, so I hear, is to have agitating brushes go into all the ducts and suck the debris out, repeating the process 2 more times to get them clean.
Hope you get better soon.
I just Googled my town and webcam, that should work nm

I googled post tubal syndrome
What I found scariest is the way doctors commonly try to blow off your symptoms - blame formerly being on the pill as being why it was never this bad before, or just act like you're being a big baby. Many women on those forums saying "thank god I read this - now I know I'm not crazy". I went to several doctors (male and female)about the pain and not ONE of them said it could be related to my tubal. They don't want to admit these side effects are common, and they don't want to admit they don't know what to do about it. They want us to just shut up and deal with it. Its shameful the way they sweep this under the rug, and the only way you find out its common is word of mouth. No such thing as "informed consent" when it comes to tubals! We need to spread the word! Like call Oprah or something!
Thanks for your responses/ideas. I have googled and have used the limited refrences from the neurol
As you saw, there are TONS of hits on google. I was hoping that I could find someone who is currently involved in one. The search continues. Thanks anyway!
