that's pretty good!! hehe, sleeping at work.. sounds like something i'd do.. actually, i'm going to be an animator, so i probaby will sleep at work sometimes.. i've seen behind the scenes vids where the animators talk and they said that sometimes have couches or beds for when the animators are just too tired to animate anymore and need to crash for a couple hours.. lol.
yeah, some people would find it wierd to like stuff like lead aprons.. lol. NT's.. can't live with them... and, yet.. they're everywhere.
lol...

This is pretty cool. You can use lead bb's to weight the blanket down. I like to avoid lead myself. It's toxic. I would use sand or maybe marbles. Marbles are heavy.
Instructions to make a weighted blanket

hmmm... having to make it would be a pain in the ass! besides lead bbs, marbles, are not soft... the newer lead aprons now adays use an extremely soft lead that i find extremely comfortable...
ahh how i wish i could get that for christmas
I'd wear it to the family christmas party for sure so i could fall asleep there, its so boring at that party. they will all look at me and ill just say "what... radiology department clothing is real "in" these days!"

for some of us the word manic is confusing and I am one of the confused one... Could you elaborate what your meaning of "manic" is

I meant the state which is the opposite of depression, and which, along with depression, is experienced in bipolar disorder; it's characterized by strong elation, energy, enhanced sociability and talkativeness, extra generosity, heigtened self-esteem, flight of ideas and faster than usual reaction, impulsive actions, and (usually) irritability. I'm bipolar so I'm used to using the word in this sense and sometimes forget it may have other meanings too. Sorry if it was confusing.

I didn't like it either, and still don't.
Manipulation on a "subtle" level isn't always so subtle, you know.
I can't stand subtle manipulation because it is not subtle at all for me either!

How about chain mail? It's pretty heavy for it's size, and can be made heavier with tighter, thicker rings. It can be hidden under clothes and moves pretty freely. It's a little noisy, though. Has anybody ever tried it?
Plus, you'd always be protected from knives and swords. If that's an issue for you. 
Unfortunately, it's complicated to make and very expensive to buy. But I think I'm going to make some to wear when I LARP.

eek... noisy that could be a real problem!
very expensive is a problem, like how much more expensive than ohhh the lead apron i was showing you guys at $120, thats not bad, and also protects you from radiation which EVERYONE gets... not many people have knife and sword issues.

i was just thinking to myself about some things... and also the fact im headed to the hospital for some x-rays friday. and a thought popped into my head...
lead aprons... who here likes the way it feels... *raises hand* i admit i have to say yes... and ive fallen asleep countless times while getting my big yearly x-ray series done (takes about 20-30 minutes) i decided to do some googling today and lo and behold i find the ones that the radiologist wears that goes all the way around you...
http://www.axms.com/productcart/pc/view ... product=82 not bad on pricing either... even has the neck thingie like my radiologist has, sweet sweet pressure on my neck, i love pressure on my neck! another cool thing is, simple to mummy wrap too... just get someone else to help you and they strap your arms inside with the belly strap man... i would fall asleep soooo easy that way...
too bad my parents dont understand me enough to do interventional things like this otherwise i would be looking for this under that christmas tree about time i stopped loosing sleep to my sensory issues...
so heres a few questions,
when you go for x-rays do you like the lead apron?
would you sleep in one at home if given the opportunity?
would you not be embarrased if sensory issues made it necessary to wear in public?
i would answer yes to all three.. if people asked me on the third id just say "aww shucks... forgot to take my apron off when going to break..."

Strapples wanted me to write this in my post. It was an e-mail asking me to write what I wrote to him. He liked the blood pressure cuff and I aggreed, and told him that if I had the $$ I would invest in one and sleep with it on. Heheheh.
I will also now add that I like wareing snow parkas. Lots of weight, protection from the cold and wet, and of course the pressure. I just cant think of anymore at this time but I know their are more certainly!

i agree... i also like the material mine is made of and i tend to put my head in my arm sometimes, looks kind of weird tho. i also like the warm weight and pressure too! i would wear mine all the time in the house if my parents understood my sensory issues better... im kind of worried they would get unusual...
