  • Talking to yourself and hearing your own thoughts?

    Here's the story. When i was a kid, the only time i spoke to myself outloud is when i played by myself, but later in my teen years, i never, i mean i never spoke outloud to myself unless i was excited, i only remember one time when i did that. And i remember almost everything i did in my whole life.

    Now, later in my early adulthood i started talking to myself, i started hearing my own thoughts. There were only two times when i heard my thoughts, once in my first highschool, and once when i was little. But through out my teens i never heard my thoughts. But now i have the habbit of talking to myself out loud because i live alone, and in a conversation kind of way.

    The periods when talk to myself outloud i hear my thoughts. Sometimes, i hear them in way where as i can't control them and i end up repeating them outloud, especially when they're negative. But i've decided to do a little experement and not talk to myself out loud for a week. Just to see if i can still hear my thoughts.

    I may have answered my own question but here's my question that i need answered.

    1.Do any of you who talk to yourselves, ever hear your own thoughts?

    I haven't spoken outloud to myself for nearly an hour now, and i haven't heard my thoughts, i just want to know if any of you have experience in with this issue.

  • Small insects and spiders in my bathroom sink at night?

    I've had a problem with small spiders and a nice sized one before. But now i keep getting spiders in my bathroom sink at night, and my first baby roach in more than 2 months. They're always in my bathroom sink at night.

    I live in an apartment and pest control is supposed to be coming, they do a good job to. But what can i do to prevent this from becoming a problem? I'm planning on getting a couple of cans of spray tomorrow, some gold bengal spray and something elese, but i just had to use poison, the stuff i currently have makes me sneeze and cough so much.

    When i woke up this morning i also found a dead mosquito where i had sprayed in the sink, and out of no where my first baby roach. It looked less than an inch long and it was black, I just don't want to have a roach problem. My house is very clean and sanitary, an apartment and i'm currently waiting for pest control to arrive.

    ________________

    In this league you don't win any prizes but i still want to win and i just play for the fun of it. So who do you think should start? I know Lloy Has to star as he has a great match up this week against the Cardinals. Neil Rackers should definitely as the Texans should score easily against the browns, should be good for 10 or 12 points.

    This team is 6-2, most of the season i didn't keep up with this team as i had another team who was undefeated and the only reason my undefeated team lost last week, is because i didn't start Maurice Morris of the detroit lions. If i did, i would've won by a few points and be 8-0.

  • Hey detroit lions fans, are you worried?

    Are you really worried about your season, about the fact that Matthew Stafford is hurt and so is Jahvid Best as well? I'm not a lions fan just wondering. Because as a die hard browns fans i'm worried about the browns now that Peyton Hillis is hurt.

  • Ipads versus desktop pcs which one would you rather have?

    First of all if someone can tell me everything they know about ipads, please do so.

    Ipads-Can cost around $500, you make a mistake and sit it on a bed or something, you sit down not paying attention to it, it breaks?

    2.Too small, you have to touch the screen to perform activities?

    3.I can't use one, paying that much money for something that small? And can easily be broke? Ah uh.

    4.I heard on Msnbc that ipads will replace desktop pcs? I'll take a desktop over ipad any day, ipads can't do anything for me.

    Desktops-Maybe one day they'll have desktops with 1 terrabyte, if not already

    2.Many flaws to desktops, but at least you can play dvd games on them

    3.You need to pay a cable company for internet?

    4.Best desktops cost close to $1000?

    So, in your opinion, do you think ipads will replace desktops?

    Personally, i'm not against ipads, they're just not for everone. I can't use something as small as an ipad, i don't understand what it is. I think its more of a substitute because of its small size, instead of a desktop.

    Please also, list your pros and cons for ipads and desktop pcs, please answer, this is the second time on msnbc that i heard that ipads will replace desktops, and i want to know why!

  • My old computer desktop kept restarting why? More information below for details?

    I had an older model dell desktop pc, and one day i installed encryption software, and i configured the software and saved it to the c:drive. Then later i turned my pc off, and later i turned it on. But when i turned it back on, the pc would not boot past the black windows screen.

    After the lights under the windows sign in the windows black screen finished loading, it would just restart and would give me the options of booting in safte mode or load windows normally and so forth.

    But nothing i did worked, and the pc would not go past the black windows screen. Could someone possibly give me an explanation of why the pc kept restarting? Could it be the encryption software that was saved to the c:drive causing the problem?

    Because when i did the f8 project, it said that it could be a software or hardware change or something, please help. I don't use that pc any more as i have bought a newer one which is also a dell, i just want to know why it kept restarting, i'm thinking the encryption software may have done it, but i'm not sure, thank you and have a nice day.

  • Fantasy football players, post your team and i'll pick who's best, and comment on mine?

    Here is one of my average nfl fantasy football teams, please rate and comment and post yours if you'd like.

    qb-Matt Ryan

    rb-Arian Foster/Steven Jackson

    rb/wr-Marques Colston

    Wrs-Mike Wallace/Dwayne bowe

    te-Marcedes Lewis

    Df/St-Jets defense

    kicker-Nate Kaeding

    _____________

    bench

    Marshawn Lynch

    Chad Ochocinco

    Joe Flaccco

    braylon Edwards

    Jacoby Ford

    Dusty Keller

    Chargers def

    ______________________

    Like i said, this is one of my average teams. I think i have proficient starters, and a respectable bench. I think i have 4 respectable bench players, and the rest of my bench is weak. I don't really like having Lewis as my starting tight end, although i love him as a player, very good tight end, probably top five in afc.

    I wish i could've gotten Jason Witten or even Vernon Davis with the 49ers qb situation. So what do you think of this team, and please, feel free to post your fantasy football team.

  • Fed up with tv commercials and camera people very irritating!!!?

    A day does not go buy when a camera person on tv, zooms up so close on a person who's talking, and all we see is the face. Sometimes, you can't even see the hair or their ears, it is so annoying! I understand that camera people have to zoom up to a certain distance, but sometimes, it just doesn't need to be that way.

    Why do camera people on tv think that we need to see someone's face up so close, that we can see nose hairs? And when two people are talking, why does the camera person have to keep switing back and forth, instead of just showing both people?

    So my question is, why do camera crews have to zoom up close on a person's face, that we don't see anything elese?

  • What's wrong with my internal dvd drive 16x?

    Let me explain my problem. First of all, i have a 16x dvd rom drive that's internal. When i put my dvd in the drive, nothing pops up. Not even windows media player or any player. But i have another dvd drive, a dvd ram drive that reads dvd roms.

    The external dvd ram drive is only 8x, so therefore i can't install dvd rom games on the external drive, because my dvd game requires 16x dvd drive. Now when i have my external dvd ram drive install, and i put a dvd in that drive, a flash player pops up and i can listen to my dvd.

    So, what could be wrong with my internal dvd drive that is 16x? It won't install any dvd rom games, please help. Oh yeah, if its neccessary to say, i use windows xp professional.

  • Ways to fight cancer additional research needed what do you think?

    The university of minnesota is doing some research, from my memory they've created something that causes cancer cells or something, i couldn't make out or understand what they were saying. But the cancer cells were attacking each other and dying.

    They've also said that they've tried it out on dogs. That's what scientists and doctors need to do to start fighting these diseases, especially cancer. Create some kind of antibodies or something, that causes things like cancer cells to attack each other and die.

    What do you guys think of this?
