What is Inside of Me

Hi, I want to share some strange things that I  have noted in my life.  Some which have down right terrified me.  I unfortunately was not blessed to be good at writing so I apologize in advance for any and all errors.  But I would like to say this now on this day Jan 22nd of 2025 I am of sound mind writing this.   I live in a medium to small town in North Carolina to those who know just a little south of the Piedmont Triad area.  I mention this to say that where I live it is not densely forested, as well as no ties that I have found to any particular Native American group sticking around long in the area.  The most notable thing in the area is a Silver mine that has long been abandoned, being found and mined in the 1830s to 1880s before it was closed.   Lastly before I go into further detail I want to say that a few of these instances happened when I was young around 6 - 12 years old. I will note any significant age changes as this has been ongoing on and off since.  I was a relatively quiet child, my main issues were that I could not make any friends unlike my older sister by 2 years.  I enjoyed playing with my dads GI Joe figures and my Godzilla figurines.  However I would only have fun if I was playing with someone else being my sister or father.  When I was by myself I found no enjoyment in the figures at all. I would try but it would never be fun, in those moments I would basically sit there staring at the ceiling imagining faces in the cracks.  The ceiling had those bumps and ridges, popcorn ceiling I always heard it called.  I would create stories in my mind about what I could see in the cracks.  Or if I was told to go outside I could never find anything to hold my enjoyment on the 40 acre property my mom Inherited.  The best I could do was look at the tops of the trees and turn them into giant monsters fighting Godzilla.   Side note ( I was entirely raised watching the classic Godzilla movies from Japan; we had a dvd collection spanning from the classic 1954 Godzilla film up until the early 2000s Godzilla Final War). We lived in a double wide trailer that was built over a basement spanning the full length of the home and my room was in the front right corner facing the forest and trees of the backyard and Cow pasture.  It started when I was between 6-7 years old so this would be 2008-09.  I believe it was a Thursday which meant neither of my parents would be home, I was homeschooled so I didn't have to go anywhere.  I tried to do my school work they had assigned to me, however I was unusually exhausted by 11 AM.  From what I remember I did not notice anything else unusual besides me wanting to take a nap.  Which I hated doing when I was younger. I hated naps. I couldn't fall asleep so I would just stare at the familiar ceiling.  Well that day, I needed a nap so I laid down and covered myself up. It was probably noon by the time I fell asleep.   I still remember that dream; it was more of a sleep paralysis nightmare than anything.  I was in  my room in my bed how I was when I fell asleep just moments before but this time I was staring out my window.  Quickly I noticed that before my windows were locked and closed, now they were unlocked and opened fully missing the wire screen that was on it before.   In this dream state it was still daytime and I could hear birds and the sound of the wind like any normal day however there was this uneasy feeling about the air.  I could not take my eyes away from the treeline.  Which I would say ranged about 50 yards from the house.  My unease kept growing. I was gasping for air but I did not understand why.  All I could see was the forest, however in just a few moments it felt like reality started aiming for a gap between a couple of large pine trees.   Do you know that distortion effect you see when you look at hot pavement on the horizon when it's really hot outside? It looked like that outlining the two pine trees.  All of a sudden this thing appeared through the distortion.  I do not know how to really describe what I saw, it looked thin and gaunt in appearance but it was not something tangible it looked like it was made up of some kind of cloud of metal fragments.  It was not just a shadow or fog it had defined sharp points around where I would assume joints to be.  Its stature was slightly hunched but I would estimate if standing straight it would measure between 6 and a half feet to 8 somewhere in that range.  The worst part of its appearance was the face, it had bulging eyes to the sides like a frog I could best guess, however the eyes were white and had human pupils but were spread too far apart to be a person.  The mouth was also terrible. It had this big smile, like ear to ear except I did not see any ears.   I was stuck staring at it and it was staring straight back at me. The world around it seemed to almost be sucked into it as it grew bigger and bigger in my view.  It started feeling like my chest was being squeezed almost like it was about to burst.  Something Ice cold was trying to crush any and all life from my chest. There was no longer any noise, everything was mute no more birds or insects, no wind at all.  I was able to pull my vision away from it which I thought would bring some form of relief however it was a huge mistake I think.  The second our eyes broke contact it started gliding towards me slowly.  It was taking steps but its form was so fluid I dont think it was natural.  When I tried to stop its advance by catching its gaze again it laughed.  It was a dry laugh but the noise hurt my head. It was like static from a radio but higher in frequency.  This thing whatever it was was not stopping. I tried looking away but couldn’t.  I think I eventually blinked and it was gone with just a slight trace of it launching forward towards me but I could not see it anymore.  I genuinely hoped the nightmare was over, but it was not finished with me yet.  I was still stuck staring out the window but I felt it watching me.  That pin prick feeling that you're being stared at so hard that it's drilling holes into your side.  I knew it was there in my room with me. I could feel it.  I could almost feel the air temperature drop in my room.  I used any ounce of strength I had to try to wake myself up. I think that I realized I was in a dream.  The best I did was roll onto my back.  That is when it happened too fast for me to register it was there between my bed and my door.  It jumped at me and went inside of me.  It hurt so bad like I was being plunged into a frozen river. I gasped for air and I woke up.   When I woke up I felt like something was wrong with me besides being scared of what I just went through.  I went to sleep for this nap around noon but when I woke up it was dark outside and one of my windows was now cracked open about an inch.  I looked at my alarm clock and it was around 1 AM the next day.  I ran crying to my parents' rooms to tell them what had happened.  They were confused and annoyed at me waking them.  I tried to explain what happened, what I saw, what was in me.  They were confused and tried to console me that they got to the house around 2PM that day because mom got sick.  Then Dad and I rode to a local Chinese restaurant to get mom egg drop soup.  And how that night we even watched the first couple episodes of the muppets on dvd from netflix.  I did not understand and was inconsolable in my confusion and fear.  I tried to explain they just said I had a nightmare and a fever and to lay down everything was fine.   It was not fine.  Immediately following, I became depressed and anxious.  I began having panic attacks and breakdowns.  Since then it has felt like it was inside of me attached to my mind corrupting it.  Waiting for me to do something to end my life and set it free of me so it can attach itself to someone else.   A few weeks after this incident, I asked my sister if we could swap rooms.   My sister’s room was adjacent to mine but instead faced the front yard and a methodist church directly across the street.  Thankfully she did let me swap rooms which is great because I do not think I would have been able to survive staying in that room any longer.  I am grateful that she did not have any issues that she has at least mentioned while staying in that room.   I think I saw the thing a few more times growing up but always in dreams similar to the one I had before.  I can go into further detail another time if you all want.  Just the main thing I want to say is that whatever it was, if it is still in me I know you're there. I am not going to let you take me. I will not fall to your ideas you plant in my head.  I may stumble and fall but I will not give in.   Side note I do want to say the Pine trees that I saw the distortion around where the thing.  If you were to walk through them and straight back another 500 feet or so you would end up where some mining tunnels were previously. They are completely closed now but it's still dangerous back there.  I have no idea what this thing is. If anyone has any inclination of what it could be please let me know.  There is more to this story and a couple more weird things that have occurred to me. If you want me to go into more detail I will.  Thank you.

I got attacked by Trump supporters earlier this morning

Omg guys i am still so shaken up by it. This morning around 2:30am I was really hungry so I went out to get some subway and when I was walking back home I heard someone behind me call out “this is maga country”. I tried to just keep walking but they yelled it again so I turned around and saw two dudes in red maga hats running towards me. They shoved me and I tried to fight back but they got me on the ground and poured bleach on me. Then they ran away and as I sat up I realized there was a noose around my neck. I can’t believe what this world is coming to smdh

L is intentionally stalling the game.

Troll or "I" was my spawn buddy so I killed him immediately after to get the game over with. He spam this the whole entire meeting session. 

Stripper and RN legal?

Hello, my club was recently raided for the first time in years. I think it was for the better though, the old owner was skimming off the top, not paying taxes, allowing extras, etc. We immediately got new owners who, so far, seem very clean cut business men. They want to start giving a 1099 to all dancers, whereas we did not have that before. My question is, I am an RN at a hospital a few counties away. I do report all of my income from dancing, and my nursing job gives me a W2. I am just wondering how making this switch from, strictly cash, to now having a 1099 from dancing might legally affect my nursing job. Since me dancing will now be recorded by the government is this traceable and possible reason to terminate my license?

Second Hand Low when Queen is led? Does it make sense?

Do I gain anything from hiding my Ace in second Position when RHO leads the Queen?

Custom notifications

Guys does anyone know where the "custom notifications" setting is? It used to be in the settings of each individual chat but i can't find it anymore.

What is a word?

Can someone give a definition? According to some people, there’s not a widely agreed answer related to that question.

Gleba - you need alerts here or you will have sad days.

I created a basic alarm which yells at me if bioflux or nutrients ever get low in my logistics storage. This is an easy sign that production stopped somewhere and things could go bad soon. I found if you leave some room there you have time to get things restarted before all hell breaks loose. i.e. your entire egg line decides to erupt over a minute or so... At least this time when I found it I had 100k+ spoilage in storage so a mass drop of assemblers making nutrients directly into all spots on the belt to bootstrap didn't take long. After that it's self sustaining sans external problems. In this case a set of stompers overwhelmed my fruit farm and I ran out of belts fixing it so waiting to fly them in took too long and production ground down. I really need to add rockets....

Client Scheduling

I have been feeling that my staff and even myself have been spending too much time trying to get clients scheduled for their reviews. Would love to get some of that time back for more revenue producing activities. Would love to hear how y’all handle scheduling? Is admin/staff phone calls really the best way? Is Calendly the best option? Really hoping for a good way to streamline our process for scheduling!

PCIe or USB 3 splitter for additional USB 3/USB C socket?

My motherboard (Gigabyte B550M DS3H) has only one USB 3.2 connector and no USB C connectors. I'd like to use the USB C connector on my PC case and it also has 2 USB 3 connectors of which I can only use one. Would I be better of getting a splitter for my one USB 3 connector or would a PCIe USB 3/C connector be a better/faster solution? I do need the speed for transferring photos, but I wouldnt use all connectors intensively at the same time.
