I think of my age, in my head. Then I use that as a starting point to make comparisons against all of my former life. Something like "I'm 31 years old. One month ago, I was _____. One year ago, I was _____. Since then, I've changed my mind about _____. ____ and _____ are no longer important people in my life, but _____ and _____ have become very close."
It gives me perspective on where I've been and how I got where I am. Helps me understand where I'm going.

No, not really. Usually, if I drifted from someone, I consider the reason we lost touch and just let it go. Mostly it's just logistics. That person or I have moved away, or got married, took a new job. I have plenty of people in my life who do want to talk to me, so I try to enjoy what I have today.

If you're bilingual, do you "think" in the language you're speaking to someone in a social conversation? If you're fluent in German (native) and English and you're speaking to someone in English, are you thinking to yourself in English, or are you thinking in German and translating to English?
Also, should I try weed? Would that calm me down enough to sleep a full eight hours? Maybe I should cut down on caffeine.
I've heard you always think in your native language (Which means deaf people will think in sign language/pictures)
Also you could try weed, but it's expensive and unreliable. I would look into your life style and seeing what changes you could make which would encourage a healthy sleep cycle.

While I'm in my most vulnerable state.
Taking a nice shit. I get this feeling something might stab my ass mid shit. It ruins everything for me and makes me feel uncomfortable. Then I get angry at myself for thinking about it because I have to shit.

In parts of the metropolitan area I live in there are problems with sewer rats coming up the plumbing through the toilets. One unlucky couple found a group of sewer rats on their newborn baby nibbling on the poor kids nose and fingers. What if a rat came up the pipes and bite you on the taint?

I live in a really small town in Texas. So I don't think we have to worry about rats like that. I do worry about a wasp or some insect finding their way into the bowl. Haha
And did this post help come up with that name? Lol

I actually check for that...
I lightly kick over the lid to make sure something isn't there. When I feel good about it I do the deed.

I wonder what it would be like to wake up in a hospital bed but as my much younger self, finding out that I have dreamt my future while in a coma. Then I start to remember what stocks went big so that my younger self can invest money, and how would I earn the start up cash, and could I convince anyone to help me? And.....since I know that I would take a completely different career path, how would I ensure I'd still meet my current husband? And would we have the same kids? I really have spent a whole lot of time on this what-if.

Something that might interest you
also...
There was a really great story about a man who was knocked out and lived a full life in his mind. Had a wife, children and then was awoken by a lamp.

Cool stories! But the second one was so sad......now I'll have to figure that bit out for when I wake up. :)

I imagine dying, not out of a desire to, but as a morbid curiosity. I imagine what it would be like to be in a head on collision, what exactly would happen if I were shoot in the head, what it would feel like to fall to my death, etc.

Do spiders get cancer?
[–] 123_456 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago
Yes, yes, they do.
[–] Alias_Unknown 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
That's actually correct, or so says Google. For years I've been attempting to give spiders cancer, by blowing cigarette smoke at them. I never knew if it was effective until one day I googled it.
