Sometimes in the movies you see people breathing in a paper bag (probably to lower the level of oxygen in the air breathed or something like that). Is that the kind of breathing exercises you are talking about, or something more along the lines of sophrology / yoga ?

Breathing in a bag is against hyperventilating. It's what you do when you already have a panic attack and don't want to pass out.

Bounty's right. I don't remember exactly why it helps, but I'd guess something to do with making your hypercarbic drive kick in and restore a normal breathing pattern.

Your other question: I don't know much about yoga or what sophrology is, i just basically use meditation techniques from when I was more into Zen Buddhism.

I was told I was the cause of panic attacks for someone and I didn't really know how to take this news

Mind you this was someone who vaguely threatened self harm because I wouldn't sleep with her

And I didn't really know how to take that either

you make my heart race, tim

i'm digging the effects of multiple word filters on tim's signature

These are key words I'm working to take on board at the moment. More on that in another thread... And I'll be very interested in what you make of it(work related)

I went almost 13 months being pain free. And it all comes back. It's time to see the GI doctor. I hope they give me shit about paying off a debt. I want to take it out on someone.

They gave me shit and denied a promise I was given back in February that I could see the doctor if I paid half of my balance. I did pay half of the balance. The incompetent assholes didn't make a note on my account, so now they want $200 up front to make an appointment. So, I'll just stay in pain so I can have the hospital fit the bill when I inevitably go to the ER.

Hopefully I'll have a health emergency next year when I don't have health insurance so they'll pay tens of thousands because I have no steady income at the moment.

Obviously Tucker Obamacare has destroyed your life and you need to accept Christ as your savior. Maybe consider wearing your 24/7 mandatory flag pin for your shirt.

Oh and I have good segue for this but what's your avatar picture?

It's from the TV series Modern Family. That dude is talking to a mother a playcare center and he asks her if she saw any movies lately. She saw Mama Mia with Meryl Streep, but she didn't like the performance. That's his reaction.

i don't get it

He finds her opinion insulting. There's a cut away to him ranting about how good Streep is. He mentions Sophie's Choice.

I put the avatar there because that's how I look when I come across stupid people. I have that look of contempt.

That's a look of desire for a buffet.

It does look a bit more like some kind of creepy lust.

Here's the clip.

Fucking A/C's on the fritz. Got the repair guy coming out tomorrow morning.

Watching Desperado.

I haven't seen it since I was twelve. I forgot how much fun it was.

It was 88F in my house this morning when I woke up. I slept, but I didn't get much rest out of it and I feel like crap as a result.

i'm in a position of wondering what appropriate policy is

when last week i wrote the new policy & procedures manual

lol

Well, it's fixed now. The fan motor on the unit outside burned out so the tech replaced it and all is well now.

I think Meryl Streep would make a great Doctor Who

holy fucking shit

a truck went to the dealership $tealer$hip for some issue that was causing a check engine and stop engine light to come on

repair bill is $5,621.76

i'm sure it'll make sense once i've seen the work order but out of context i'm like wtfffffffff

If it comes back without dice and an 8-ball shifter knob then you've been had.

lol 4300 for a turbo

i didn't know the turbo had gone out

it upsets me on some level because this was the truck i spent most of 09 driving

and i had great pride in my uptime and quiet power outperforming every other unit

it's around 350k now tho so i guess it's due for its share of breakdowns now
