| Tell her no, explain the legal issues and the suicidal thoughts, and if she doesnt listen, tell her therapist that perscribed the meds. If THAT doesnt work, try the police (it is, afterall, illegal in several different ways) |

| If I get more than about 5 hours of sleep, its more likely that I will just stay in bed most of the day. I do pretty well though on no sleep though, and I can stay up for 2 daya without much of a problem. Like you and a lot of the other people here, socialization WRECKS me. I'm so mentally exhausted... |

| I don't, but my daughter does. She can project images quite efficiently from her brain into the real world. She's knows they're not really there and can make them go away just as easily. I started a thread about this a while ago and there were some helpful replies. Here's the link http://www.wrongp... |

| I think all the major physical stuff had happened by around 9 or 10, but I still often act like a 12 year old despite being 15.5 and rather smart. Still waiting on the voice changes though, hoping that doesnt happen (I dont really like my voice now, but I imagine it will sound much worse if it gets ... |

I thought for almost an entire year that I could hover because I was having super-realistic recurring dreams about it and when I woke up I still had the lingering sensation and the thought that if I focused enough on believing in it, I c... |

| Lego is unfortunately rather expensive. With all the lego Ive got, retail value is around $15000 I think, over a period of about 4 years. However, since I buy a lot of stuff used/on sale/as contest prizes/etc, Ive probably only spent 5000 or so on it. Im considering opening a store on a lego selling... |

| I hate it. Full of stupid people, and the government (in pretty much all countries) is almost certainly using it to spy on people. Only time I ever used it was for a series of experiments to try and track the spread of misinformation across a system. Didnt work. |

Theres no paralysis though, and a few times they have continued for a few minutes even after I get out of bed and start walking around. That hasnt happened in a few years though. I get it every second night or s... |

He has made many claims which are, at best, considered unlikely by the scientific community, and, at wo... |
