As far back as I can remember I have associated personality traits to letters and numbers. As when you meet people and develop relationships with them you come to know them to be a certain way, I do the same thing with letters and numbers.

It's like this, when I see the letter "K", I think quiet and feminine. "7" is a cool masculine teenager or tweenager. "13" is a strong and older heavy set man. Capital "G" is a strong older female that smokes and lower case "g" is mean and rude.

I'm not crazy or anything. At least I don't think so. I'm a gifted law student with a relatively high IQ (141). I've always made associations with everything which can probably account for my excellent memory. But personifying characters is something I can't explain. I used to think everyone did this but when I mentioned this to friends and family they didn't get it. I stopped talking about it years ago. Now I want to know if anyone else does this. Any input would put my peculiar mind at ease.

My dermatologist diagnosed it a few months ago and recommended a bar soap called ZNP. I found that irritated my sensitive skin. I've tried a couple of others that aren't too bad but would like to know if someone has had better luck than I've had so far.

I inject vaccine into my dad's upper arm daily. My dad is a terminal lung and kidney cancer patient. Yesterday, he had an emergency because of shortness of breath. Usually he could breathe normally without the oxygen supply for about 5 minutes. Now, he feels exhausted without the supply even if it's for a short while.

Is it possibly because I injected some air when I injected the vaccine? I know that there's usually a bit of air in the syringe when I draw out the vaccine from its bottle. I would stop injecting right before the bubble enters.

Does the air still enter although I stop before right before the bubble enters?

How to avoid injecting air into the body?

And what ARE the effects of air being injected?

If I'm suddenly awakened (by a noise or anything, I guess) I see large black spiderwebs in front of my face. Like in the middle of the room or in the corners of the ceiling. They seem real because I'm actually awake. The first time it happened I was so scared and confused. But now if I see one I tell my self, "I need to wake up so it will go away." Even though I know they're not real, I wonder what the heck causes this. Hallucinations are common when people are in between sleep and alert states but why spiderwebs...everytime? Does this ever happen to you or someone you know? Do you know what this means? Have you ever seen anything strange under similar circumstances?

A while back during a wrestling session, my jaw was hit with a "russian uppercut" totally by accident. But afterwards I felt it a bit hard to like perform the chewing motion. The next day the right side I guess slipped back into place. But my left side now is more out of it, it only hurts when I go to open my mouth all the way. There is a point where I feel it in my upper left side of my face where its like a pulling sensation and it hurts. Anyways, I can live with the pain its not like its hurting very bad but its annoying as hell when I eat to have to worry about chewing to fast on the left side that I open up to much. Anyways, im thinking about getting an X-ray or something but I didnt want to do it to prematurely cause well like alot of people im without health insurance. So if anyone can give me some pointers I would appreciate it.

I have a very serious problem that is ruining my life, and this started happening about a week ago.

About 2 or 3 weeks ago, I vomited because I was sick, and before that, I didn't vomit for over three years. Since the time I vomited, I got nervous or uncomfortable very quickly for no reason, ESPECIALLY when I was not at home or in front of a lot of people. This nervousness and panicking always gets me nauseous for no reason, and it is making my life very uncomfortable. A week ago, we went on vacation to Florida and I got nauseous for almost everyday while we were there. Even though I never really vomited from this nervousness, at points it really feels like I am, and I might if this problem continues. Yesterday, we were flying on planes and driving all day to get back home...I felt nauseous the whole time until we got home, sometimes I was sure I was gonna vomit, but I try to distract myself quickly to halt it.
