The Glade 4.0 :: View topic - What did I just hear?

I hate getting up to pee in the wee hours of the morning....

I want to get another dog, but...I'm afraid of it dying too.

While we were in Maine, my wife had bought me this very large camping/hunting knife as an anniversary present; I mean a good foot long blade.

It's not people or big scary dogs or anything living or tangible that scares most people who are afraid of the dark....it's those supernatural, evil, ghostly, ungodly spiritual things that freak us the **** out.

And every once in a while, I hear what sounds like someone lightly knocking on my door.

Ugh, this is going to suck to say...

You're right to be afraid. It will die. Most likely before you do. You'll grieve, and mourn, and go through the same thing you're going through now.

And up until that point, you'll love the hell out of that dog. And you'll be glad for the time you had, and look back fondly on those memories, and for that time, you'll have given that dog a wonderful, loving home that he or she may not have gotten elsewhere.

Think back on Tricks. Think about the pain you've had since she died. Does that make a difference? If you knew how much you'd hurt after she died, would you give up any time at all with her in order to spare yourself that pain?

If the answer is not only "no," but "**** no," do what you want to do: get another dog. Love it, care for it, enjoy its company. And make the time you spend with it all the sweeter.

I'm kinda...stupid. Sometimes. Well, most of the time. Anyway, I'm sitting here at 3am reading scary stories on creepypasta.com, listening to music. And every once in a while, I hear what sounds like someone lightly knocking on my door. I turn the music off and listen for a minute or two, then go back to listening and reading. I'm sure it's all in my head. But still...I need to stop with this crap at 3am. Like, for real. Worst part is I still need to go out to the kitchen to turn off the light. I'm 27 ** years old and I'm afraid to leave my room to go turn off a light in my perfectly safe house. I also need to take a piss and when I get like this, mirrors scare the out of me. There's no way to avoid the giant mirror in the bathroom. **.

Dude I totally feel you. I hate getting up to pee in the wee hours of the morning....I'm afraid of the big mirror in the bathroom too. I also try not to look at the thermostat in the hallway....that scene from The Sixth Sense always gets to me. Makes it scary to pee in the winter when its cold.

Eh, it can't be any worse than now. I have an irritable bladder so I'm up 2 or 3 times to pee anyway. And yeah, getting up anytime after 4 sucks because my alarm goes off early too and the second you finally get back to sleep you either have to pee again or your alarm goes off, haha!

Until you can walk into the kitchen at night without being scared, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask that you turn in your Beard Guy card. Honestly, you're bigger and scarier than anything that could be in your house secretly.

See, that's what you realistic type people's don't understand, Lenas. It's not people or big scary dogs or anything living or tangible that scares most people who are afraid of the dark....it's those supernatural, evil, ghostly, ungodly spiritual things that freak us the **** out. In those instances, you could be 9 ft tall and it wouldn't make a difference. hands Raltar back his Beard Guy card

I always imagine how famous I'd be if something supernatural came out of the darkness, and I took a video of it with my cell that's always on me.

LOL, Raltar, I'm sorry dude but I keep coming back to this thread and chuckling because you're a big, scary, usually-angry dude and you're basically getting creeped out by the boogeyman. I know you have a Chuck Norris fist under that beard, just bust it out!

I honestly blame lack of sleep. I haven't gotten more than a couple of hours of sleep since Tricks died. Nightmares and my sleep paralysis has gotten worse since she died and isn't there to protect me from things I have no control over. I want to get another dog, but...I'm afraid of it dying too.

Dude, start by changing your freaky-ass avatar. That might help. Then, yes - get another dog. Sounds like you need an affectionate one. Consider a sheltie - very affectionate and incredibly smart.

A few years ago my wife and I were driving back from Maine to Cleveland, and we decided to stop at this motel in New York that was pretty far out in the boondocks. It had none of the modern motel-stuff, no internet, no anti-scald faucets, no electronic key locks, and it was pretty sparesly filled with guests. While we were in Maine, my wife had bought me this very large camping/hunting knife as an anniversary present; I mean a good foot long blade. So we eat dinner and my wife comments on the way back to the room that the place is rather spooky. I think my reply freaked her out even more: "Honey, when the crazy axe-murderer busts the door in, he's in for a surprise. I got something for him with that knife you bought me." Then I put it on the bedstand next to me. Fortunately, he never showed up.

Your house was not blessed? I know many people who are scarier than anything that could go bump in the night. I used to be scared of the supernatural evil things that could be in my house, until I realized that.

There's a carbon monoxide monitor outside my bedroom that randomly flashes... not like a little blinky light but like a flashbulb. And it does it every time I walk past it to get to the bathroom. So I'm groggy and barely awake and POP!

I'm still trying to talk my hubby into getting another dog...I miss Shoshone (and BJ and Lindsay) so very much.
