I've been using it for quite awhile and it is still learning from me

WT Sharpe · 10-31-2014, 11:35 AM

Last night was another round of weirdness, possibly sparked by watching the movie "Haunter" just before going to bed. A very good film for Halloween, btw, about a girl who died just before her 16th birthday and now finds herself being haunted by a living girl. Anyhow, my dreams were, if possible, even more bizarre than last night's. Lots of darkness (all were night or very early morning scenes), poverty, drug addicts, mobile homes that were little more than conex boxes, war memories, classroom blackboards that revealed different things about the students under a blacklight than under normal light (although my name was missing), and last, but not least, I threw a bigot in a toilet, but later had to rescue him because he was so far down (about 10 feet or so) that he couldn't get out by himself. Oh, yeah, then it was morning and there was ice on the ground and a gang of people were playing "crack the whip" on the ice. They had taken refuge from the night in a makeshift Christmas tree fortress and were now enjoying the ice. I, too, when I entered a building and saw its sloping floor covered in ice leaped on it and slip to the other end. I was a bit worried about falling, but I managed the slide in fine fashion, stating afterward, "Not bad for a 76 year old. I mean 74." Then I wondered what exactly was my true age (I'm 64). There was also an x-rated scene involving a hole in the wall and a friend's uncharacteristic comment about when he saw and me shaking my head and exclaiming how he was crazy, but this is a family site, so I'll say no more about that.

Have you been taking a new med at night or something? These seem to be getting pretty vivid and common

Still, I find there are many words in my vocabulary that need to be manually added to its dictionary, although "furnace/fugitive" was probably my fault.

No. No, you aren't the last person to have discovered it. I've never heard of it. Are you going to make me look it up now?? Sheesh.

If you do, it's a y not an i

Awww. You're going to leave the rest of us hanging since we can't tune in on your subconscious.

Sounds like a wild time was had by all.

Kk's right: it's Swype with a "y", and I'm constantly misspelling it. It's an app that allows you to swipe across your keyboard to enter words rather than hitting each key individually and it's available for both iOS devices and Android.

Ahhhh. Wrong place (topic) to ask this, but has anybody else gotten finger burn from all this swiping? I find I have to use my laptop and not my iPad. Or else wear gloves to use my iPad (conductive gloves). Otherwise my finger tips hurt so much that I curl my hands in a ball while in bed, so even the *sheets* don't touch my finger tips.

kindlekitten · 10-31-2014, 06:01 PM

Ummmmm
no
of course that could have something to do with my lifestyle

badgoodDeb · 10-31-2014, 06:07 PM

I was off work last Dec/Jan for a month (blood clots, lungs, legs) and may have increased my amount of touch screen usage. So I quit for 6 months, and used only my laptop. But since then, even an evening's session can re-injure the fingers. I spent an evening recently working up "cloud collections" for my new kindle (the old ones only had local to the device collections). Now I have to use the conductive gloves even for a 10 minute session.

cromag · 10-31-2014, 06:18 PM

And I just want to say, "furnace" or "fugitive" either way, the "heat" is on.

kindlekitten · 10-31-2014, 08:51 PM

I've just always worked with my hands Deb

You must type a lot more than me. Have you tried switching fingers?

WT Sharpe · 10-31-2014, 10:19 PM

Deb, the more I think about it, the more I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to check with your family physician. It sounds like you might have a bit off nerve damage. That degree of sensitivity in the fingertips doesn't sound normal to me.

If you have a problem like Diabetes that can cause some nerve damage problems too as well as circulation problems. If you haven't been checked for diabetes you might want to have your Dr. test your blood sugar levels.
