(P.S. One more question, lorelei. Did you tell the "rich guy" that you thought you were pregnant?)

That was just a dream JC. I couldn't possibly be pregnant for I have not met the "prerequisite" for such a thing in several months if ya catch my drift... Thanks for your thoughtful input on this matter, I'm sorry I got you distracted hun. You probably think I'm selfish. I have a lot of weird stuff happen to me, even if it's just my perception (whether it is flawed or not flawed remains to be seen). The incident I mentioned that happened at my friends house has nothing to do with my dating life, other than IF I have these things happening, whoever he is (that I'm dating) will have to be understanding. In fact, I fretted about my friend seeing this happen. How does anyone (including you guys) explain this? If the policemen thought I actually was the Pizza Hut delivery man who got robbed, explain their startling behavior, please. Really nervous cops?? Were they thinking I was leaving and had been drinking? Has there been other "questionable" people leave this house? I'm trying for every other answer, other than stupidity. There are policeman on duty every day, in 2 shifts, at my job. I have no qualms or problems with any of them, of course. Any ideas? I just dunno. I think they were after a crook and were not sure where he was... IMO... apparently they didn't even know what the victim looked like... cops are human too... they get confused like everyone else... or maybe you're right it could have been something more... ~shrug~ Like the police helicopter that shone a spotlight on me when I was in college right outside my apartment on campus. ;D I stuck my hands up in the air at first, fearing they might shoot me, then when they didn't I waved up at them and shouted, "Ya found me coppers! Come on down and arrest me!" They turned their spotlight off hehehe... I guess I wasn't the droids they were looking for... ;D One never knows... cops are mysterious creatures... Or maybe your friend likes to have wild parties too... that's a good guess you have I think. Is she a party animal JC?

I've been arrested more than a dozen times for things that I had nothing to do with. The cops (or feds) would put me in handcuffs, interrogate me for several hours, then when they realized they couldn't find any evidence that I was guilty of anything they let me go. I never have been able to explain why that happens or why they keep coming after me. Once I was out running and I was arrested because I was wearing black shorts and they claimed they were looking for a guy wearing black shorts. Yeah, that means I'm guilty...me and the other ten million people in the country who were wearing black shorts. Who knows why the police do the stupid things that they do, targeting innocent people while letting the criminals run amok on the streets? Maybe Jc just fit the description of the criminal they were looking for...single woman, innocent, wouldn't hurt a flea...she must be guilty of something! After all, she takes part in a UFO forum. By those standards we are all guilty. Maybe that's why the feds are still keeping tabs on us after all this time. Who knows? All I can say is that there is a bright side to all of this. Every once in a while the people do get revenge... ;D Prison inmates hide pig in official police car decalsPolice in Vermont recently noticed a pig in the emblem on the side of some of their police cars. The pig, which is a derogatory term for police, was apparently placed their by inmates working in the print shop at a Vermont correctional unit sometime last year and went unnoticed until now. The officially approved design is supposed to show a spotted cow but somebody changed one of the spots to look like a pig. Police officials naturally were not happy about the prank, especially since about 30 patrol cars have been driving around with the practical joke on the side of the car for most of last year. They are in the process of removing the decals now. "While some may find humor in the decal modifications, the joke unfortunately comes at the expense of the taxpayers," said Police Major Bill Sheets. That may be true, but in this case I think that some of the tax payers probably won't mind. ;D

"You probably think I'm selfish." I'm selfish, too . So it's not what I was thinking. Unreasonable? From my definition, sometimes Yes. But (from my definition) only on this guy thing. Nothing else . I just like people to know, and make an effort to know themselves. The phrase "I don't know why I did that", even if it pops into thought and disappears immediately, is worth looking into, IMO. It's what brought me here ;D . _______________________________________________________________________________ "That was just a dream JC.

I'm sorry if I missed that. . . I have to look back and look at my own perception; why I thought it was more- I'm thinking you were "late" on your monthly or something. Thanks for your input on the policemen. I do not "hang out" with people that "party". My friend has 4 children under 11 and doesn't ever even do the "girls night out". I was just trying every reason other than. . .

Maybe the guy was just lonely and he wanted to impress you with his driving ability. It probably gets boring on those long grueling stakeouts waiting for the pizza delivery man to show up...

Maybe the guy was just lonely and he wanted to impress you with his driving ability. It probably gets boring on those long grueling stakeouts waiting for the pizza delivery man to show up... Well, my windows aren't tinted, car is up to date, and he didn't ask to see my driver's license or anything. I did get the impression that once he saw me up close he either recognized me, or knew I wasn't what he was looking for. I do see policemen from my job also up at Walmart, etc. It makes one feel that I do live in a smaller community than it really is. As for you, sky, sounds like you experience what our American darker gentlemen go through on a daily basis. It is appalling to me. I am also appalled (not entertained) by the car decal posted here and on other threads of teor. The decal looks like a child drew it to start with, and then to have a group of people who probably hate you work on it, just blows my mind. Rehabilitation? Also, a big joke on being "observant". Has any one here been a supervisor of children? I don't mean playing with them or doing any other constructive type of activity. The goal is to watch for behavior that may lead to someone getting hurt, so supposedly the children know the rules and a person just observes. We've all seen policecars watching for bad driving behavior. They (policemen) are human as said above, and they may react late or overreact according to what kind of day they are having. But to be overly observant constantly? Thinking about it hurts my brain .

Yesterday one of my dtrs. had a "date". The guy and her wanted to see a movie, so I drive them and sometimes see a totally different movie . The theatre seats are huge so I picked a seat in their movie and they knew were I was, but I didn't exactly know where they were. We saw "the lady in black". For those of you that like scary movies, it was very good. Daniel Radcliffe is the lead character and the plot moved along smoothly and "drew me in". It is also a period piece and made sense in that context. The "lady in black" is a "ghost/demon" and I left the show feeling like "they (the writers) finally are getting it right. I'm not telling you anything that hasn't been said in a movie review. It is PG-13, so for me, fairly predictable, but I still enjoyed it. Anyway, I expected to have some bad dreams last night. I didn't .

That's good to know JC. I saw the previews for that movie and the first thing I thought of was, "That's a good date movie!" One of those movies you go to see and latch onto the boyfriend in a death grip lol... Then I thought, "Yea... I'm gonna have nightmares if I see it..."

Thanks for your comments, lorelei! Since I don't watch a lot of tv I hadn't seen any previews (it came out at theaters the day we saw it). Someone else told me that from the previews, "no way" were they going to see that! Too scary! I wouldn't mind someone suggesting here a "nice" movie to see. I did finally see "Super 8", and liked it, but it still had some dark themes. . . My son saw "the devil inside" with his girlfriend. I didn't ask about the girl latching on to him . When I hear that title I think of the group "INXS" and their song of the same name. I believe their lead singer did away with himself. Anyway, I guess the "demon" in that current movie can jump from person to person easily. I have no desire to see someones' depiction of that. This winter has had a lot of sunshine, and still not any real snowfall. I am so thankful for little ice, too. Since I am going through major therapy with my back and neck, I'm really sympathetic to others like me and the cold weather. Right now, our world seems kind of "dark". In more ways than one, and not just to myself. My perception is definitely a bit "off", so I'm wanting to look to some positives. I mentioned recently some things about "this house" I live in. I've also talked about hearing "every little thing" that goes on. I was wrong ;D . It seems my dad can get around this entire house without making any noise at all! I was so surprised! I had a few strange incidents. I would leave a light on downstairs on purpose (middle of night), go do something else, and come back and light is off. Didn't hear anything. It was my dad. Sigh. Or, get dog food in a small cup and set it on the kitchen counter. Come back and the food has been poured into the dog bowl and I knew I didn't do it. Parents are just sitting casually in another room watching tv and don't look like they have moved. I can relate to paulette's recent issues with 'memory'. It's very disconcerting, to say the least.

I liked that Super 8 movie also. That's one of the few movies I have actually went to watch in a movie theater lately. It's getting to the point that there is nothing I want to watch since it seems like everything has already been remade about a dozen times. I crave something original...something that will actually get my imagination working instead of just seeing the same old plots over and over again. I don't even know what movies have come out recently.

I haven't seen a movie in a theater in a long time either...
I mean the previews they have now always show the same stuff and they leave you wondering what the storyline is about.
Random act of violence.
Sex.
More random acts of violence.
Explosion
More sex.
In theaters next week.
Uhm... what's it about?

ok, this isn't 'new', and I thought about sending a pm to Steve. But you guys are so great about sharing everything. . . and I know I'm going to feel better after I talk about this. I was also thinking that Steve would be able to tell me what to do, but it's probably too late now. By "too late", I mean that I most likely am contaminating whatever "sample" I have. . And yes, I thought about taking a picture after my dtr. informed me the wound (under the skin) looks triangular. Lol. For about 3 yrs. I have had a perfectly round hole on my right trapezes muscle between my neck and my right shoulder (close to my neck). It has no raised edges, and when it first appeared one morning it just had a "drop" of blood in it. After the blood, it would show some fluid, and I would (gross) squeeze that out and it would fill up again. Always stayed the same. My son and I even joked about finding some sort of vacuum cleaner to hook up to it up there. . . and over time I left it alone. Over time also, it dawned on me that this hole and how simple it was, almost blending in with my regular pores, could be an injection site. well, before christmas(2011) I squeezed it really hard and caused (?) a lump to form just underneath the hole. So now I convinced myself it was just acne, and started treating it as such. Clean skin, astringents, acne soap and lotion. It is still raised. Today I was wearing a scoop neck shirt and my sister saw it. She told me it looked like it had glass in it, and had I had a car accident?? (She is an R.N.) I said "no", I had just been picking at it. This evening I came home, and I don't want to be gross. But by gosh, I've been picking "glass" or something of the like out of it, and there is more. The next thing I did was look up on the internet "injection meds that crystallize". Steroids are one. And, I'm showing the other symptoms of a "bad steroid injection". The skin around the "wound" is thinning and when I did peroxide to clean it, the skin all around is now black. Even with the white bubbling of the peroxide. It is the bubbling of the peroxide that showed the triangle shape . I'm pulling these shards and tiny beads/crystals out with tweezers, but they are not sterile. Of course I am saving samples because this is so bizarre. I don't have a petri dish or sterile slides... and I'm thanking G_d that these aren't fibers. You can imagine me "freaking out" a bit ago. I thought I got it all, and then it started "shining" again, and I can imagine why my sister thought of glass. Even if we were able to test this material, how could I prove that I had never had a steroid shot there? I imagine that you guys didn't quite understand what I meant by "things coming out of my body", and I wasn't ready to explain. Fall of 2010 I took something out of the back of my neck that had been there approx. 15 yrs., and all I have is the scar to prove it. Don't want to go there right now. . . . Thanks. I know you guys understand how scared I get sometimes, over nothing, really. Life goes on.

Thanks lore . I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep, but gee, I got 4 hours! Lol. I'm considering all possibilities- even somehow getting "cotton" in the wound. The first "pieces" understandably have a darker color (skin fluid, some blood), but the "pieces" I took out an hour later are very white. They kept showing up as round, white dots in the larger new wound I made and in the healthy skin around the wound. Weird. Very tiny. Sounds gross (again) but I was able to pick them out one by one with tweezers (no pain) and they stayed a solid round piece or as a "shard" that initially looks like a small blond hair or fiberglass. It does somehow remind me of fiberglass. But wouldn't that be terribly painful? As would glass. Yeah, I was thinking steve knows someone. . . but again, I'm mindful of sterility. I know this small hole (injection hole) has been there for at least 3 yrs. My reference point is my son and he moved in with his dad in Dec. of 2oo8. I have had a steroid shot before, but near my left elbow. That was for "tennis elbow" . No adverse reactions to it at all. Like lorelei and paulette, I have some marks on my arms that are most likely old chicken pox scars. I'm very freckled (mostly from sun years). My shoulders do take the worst of the sun beating, but I have taken to wearing sunscreen for the last few years. I'm more concerned with how often I'm putting on bug repellent . I'm not so "panicked" this morning. At the muffin forum (love that name ) I mentioned having a "lump" behind one of my ears (right ear ?) and it "moving" down to the middle of my back along the shoulder blades, where I got "it" out. Just one of my quirks: not being able to stand any extra lumps on my body. Worth noting that I have a KSI Power Shiatsu. Basically a powerful, 2 handled massager. One of the best money can buy. I can use it sparingly on my own neck, but much better if someone else does it for me, of course. It has probably helped "vibrate" these "things" from under my skin. Seriously. I generally do not have any acne on my back. Occasionally I do on my face. I have had a rash like appearance on the front of my neck for a couple of years. My MD said it was a part of my LPR . I now think it is/was a circulation thing with my spinal troubles because it is going away with my consistent therapy. Sigh. All of this is pretty personal. I keep thinking about "helping someone else" and the bravery our friend lorelei has shown with her skin postings . Main question: Who, would give me a "steroid shot" in my shoulder/trapeze muscle without my permission, and why?

Perhaps you should have a doctor look at it and do a biopsy on it. They might be able to determine what it is. There was a thread on the old forum about weird objects forming in the body and being mistaken for implants. I don't remember the technical name for it but I remember doing some research about it on the internet. I wish I could go find that thread but it no longer exists. Darn it! I hate when we do all this research and it gets deleted. I'm going to see if I can figure out what it was.

The body has a natural tendency to manufacture white cells around foreign bodies (encapsulating them) and protecting the body. I had a small wiggly lump on my foot for years..(at least 20) and it actually did date back to about the time my friend and I had our experience. It was figured to be a small bone chip (and a lot of people have these). One day out of the blue it started itching..and in the course of my scratching at it (vigorously) out popped this tiny little 'piece of wood'. It looked exactly like a miniature log and it had been wrapped in a cocoon of what I figure were white cells. It was tucked inside of this kind of icky gooey stuff (lovely things we discuss here eh?) The hole it left healed in record time and I completely forgot about it until now but (music from twilight zone) it was very shortly after that my memory of the abduction went into high gear. Some alien suppression devise? Who knows..ANYTHING is possible I think

well, as I said, this little hole, barely bigger than a skin pore, did NOT have any type of bump or raised edges until the last time I squeezed it good. Yeck!?! Over three years I have been able to squeeze the area and get a small amount of ?gunk? out but it never formed a lump. I guess I got a little too curious and aggressive this time. My sister is coming over shortly. Another shiny "shard" has appeared and I will see if she will pick it out and tell me what she thinks . She has plenty of years of nursing experience and I told her about it this a.m.. I will only go to the Dr. for this if it doesn't heal or manifests something more weird. I never said it was an "implant" . Now, when I had my nose surgery some years ago for sinus impaction, and they showed me a picture of what took 90 minutes to remove, THAT made me wonder. And yes, it was very, very white, looking like a bone encapsulated. I wonder how many "things" are stored by hospitals in secret vaults? LOL. Of course I didn't hear any more about it.

Before I forget, 2 weeks ago I spent a leisurely 20 minutes in our staff lounge with a PTA member and his son (he is a stay-at-home dad). His daughter has been a student at the school for 4 years.
Anyway, he mentioned he had recently had surgery on a nerve in his forearm. I believe he said something about the ulna ? It wasn't carpal tunnel surgery. Being "just curious", I asked to see his incision. He had a jacket on and the incision was just below the elbow and on the inside of the forearm. He is a young guy so was already healing his incision.
He took off his jacket and I believe I almost gasped. There, in stark detail, on both inner biceps were our favorite little round bruises/marks. I can't recall if this was a few days after surgery, or a week, but I had to ask about the congruent circular marks. He said they had been there since the day of surgery and he assumed it was from being "strapped down". I was inquisitive. Both arms? Under anesthesia, need to restrain? He commented that after all they were working on a nerve. . .
He didn't look at me any different the next time I saw him. Whew!
;D

or indigestion ;D I'm just amazed that I 'bothered' some little 'pore' on my shoulder and now it's an open wound an inch across. Sheesh! I'm a lot more thin-skinned than I thought! My sis never saw the "shards". She claims she saw something shiny and almost triangular underneath the skin. She thought it was a larger piece of glass.

I have (2) things I want to share. The first one may interest some. . . I was "followed" home again! I wasn't paying a bit of attention and thought one of my daughters was actually trying to distract me from my topic of conversation (I was talking about chores). I did pull over the car about 1/4 mile from my home, and we put down the windows to hear it. No sound, and a beauty of a triangle! It had been flying basically above the passenger side, and it continued on when I pulled into a parking lot. But then it "seemed to notice" we had changed our course, and I swear, it almost stopped, and then it continued, only to appear to stop again over my house. . Then it disappeared. Of course we joked that it had landed in our backyard and we couldn't see it for the trees. I usually don't do any swearing. But it was right above us; my dtr. was practically hanging out the window saying "mom". . ."mom". . .(she had been laying on her back in the back seat), and then my other daughter is shouting "IT MADE SURE WE SAW IT". She goes on and on that it was a triangle for sure, she saw all the edges, it wasn't plane-shaped. And I sure didn't need any moon or landmarks to know it was right with us. It wasn't just a "light" in the sky. we felt no fear. This really was just pure excitement .

Oh sky. As the triangle paused over my house, and my dtr. was shouting with the windows down, I added to the din, "I have my camera!"

The second thing. I'm not sure why I want to share it. It's not paranormal, it's not alien/ufo related. I did bring up a similar topic before on this thread, but that was just discussing a fact of human life (pain) and it was not a premonition. I will, however, "tie in" a couple of bits of information that relate to my friends here at teor. I had talked recently about moving from this home; a home my family has lived in for over 40 yrs. I live with my parents and honestly, we help each other. However, being the single parent of 3 teenagers, my own home is much desired. It's funny; initially my mom and I thought THEY would have to adjust more to us (of course). We are not quiet people and they are, etc. well, they aren't super quiet. . .my mom is having another "party" today. She still has them at least every 2 weeks (almost since my childhood) and the amount of friends can range anywhere from 3-4 to fifty ;D. These aren't alcohol parties, and they vary with their "theme". Sometimes they are during the day (today) and sometimes of an evening. They are fun and interesting when I go. . . I went to a bridal shower of the granddaughter of one of my mom's best friends at the friends' house, and we were literally there and talking/laughing from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on a Saturday . If I stay home with my dad, he will ask me, or wonder aloud, "when is mom coming home?" It's all good. We also like to play cards around here. During my growing up years one of the main ones was "Rook". Now we play a lot of "3-13" and "Hand and Foot". We have a pool table also, with a ping pong board that goes on top. My son is excellent at ping pong. Anyway, I've also mentioned that my sis and her husband have moved back here from California, staying in my rental house, and I was thinking she was now going to "help" with mom and dad. She would NEVER move back (gone since 2003) if she didn't have parents here, and her and I even talked about this recently. I had a "snow day" from work on Monday (2-13-12) and we spent all afternoon and evening together and my kids were fine with that. I'm glad I had this time with her, though the circumstances were not good. Sigh. My dad had carpal tunnel surgery on his right wrist on Monday morning. We had quite a bit of snow and I prepared their car and shoveled the driveway. I had planned to work and my sis was going with them. (I should mention that my mom has also had cataract surgery on both eyes since January. She is able to drive but admits that the car has been parked somewhat crooked in the driveway.) They left our house around 7:15 a.m. and I didn't see or hear from them until almost 2:00 p.m. (?). I was getting worried. While at the hospital with my dad's surgery, my sis got a call from her husband that he wanted to die, and he had taken over 20 pills. Paramedics got him to the hospital, and he did end up spending a night in ICU with toxic levels. He was released to my R.N. sis by Wednesday evening, with blood work fine. I was able to go by the house yesterday briefly to see my sis and him, and everyone is trying to act "normal". Needless to say, my sis was/is not really available for my folks the rest of the week. My mom does look "strained" but a social gathering WILL help her right now. There are just things that won't be mentioned. My mom is already struggling with "not Lying" when people ask about the "newlyweds" (my sis and husband) moving here. Her "pat" answer has been "they are adjusting". Of course I cannot share more of my sis' personal business. I knew there were problems, and because of my past marriage that had mental and physical abuse, I can openly talk about such issues with her, and we did talk a lot on Monday. There are 2 sides (or more ) to every story, as we know. I expressed that I would support her lovingly and emotionally no matter what choices she made. I focused on the fact that she has already been told by "professionals" to "run like H__" (they have been separated once), and also the fact that we believe, as a family, in compassion and forgiveness, and that ONLY G_d can truly change people. Laugh all you want; my sis was venting all the Cra _ and selfishness (including his move to do what he did when my sister was doing the very thing she moved here for), and I knew she would "take him back". One of the husbands "tactics" is to threaten to leave her (he almost didn't come with her to K.C.), and after we all had a good, family day on Sunday, he pulled this Cra_ again. She (fed up) said "well, good-bye then". Sigh. The dream I had (posted on this thread) about "police" threatening me and laughing at me, I initially was taken into their custody because I got pulled over driving a stolen car. In my dream it was just the "available car". In real life, this car belongs to my new brother-in -law. No, it is not really stolen. My brother-in-law is Mayan. People are comfortable just saying "mexican" or "spanish". Whatever. He looks very "indian" and grew up not far from "Tikal". He has family still there, and quite a bit of family here in the states. My sis has known him for over 4 yrs, and the abuse literally started after they got married. I can vouch for the truth of that. Partly because my former husband did the same thing. (?). My husky (dog) took immediately to the husband (my sis' husband), and that is extremely unusual. The husband also went from toxic levels and possible liver/kidney damage to normal, in 24 HOURS after taking an overdose. He is no spring chicken, either . I'm also thinking of "TT96" lately. Not just that he (tt96) is part Mayan, but that he reminded me that the Mayan people did not die out or "disappear". . . .and that was one of tt96 and I's last conversations. I feel, it is also worth mentioning (again), that for some reason, both my sister and I have married "full-bloods".

That's very interesting JC. "Full-bloods"? I like Native Americans too... particularly the Cherokee... ~smirk~ Samoans are hot too methinks...

I hope your sister can figure out what she is going to do... emotional/mental abuse is difficult to deal with... I know how that goes...
