As we have many new members a nice big welcome is in order. I normally try to make this a fun and entertaining thing I do but honestly I feel like ass tonight. If the room would stop spinning for 5 seconds I'd be so happy.

For a few days, if I was laying down, the slightest turn of my head would send the room to spinning and tumbling. It was absolutely awful. Hope you feel better soon.

Inside for you all to share are such wonderful items as the shells from 2 lb of shrimp, 2 dozen bells of various sizes/colors from cat collars, a handful of pencils sharpened down to the eraser ends, and a handful of those little red flags from mailboxes.

I'll take the bells and make my own cat collar for my cat. Thank you very much!

Made a change to my introduction as I ditched the boyfriend.

Thanks. I suffer from migraines AND acute vertigo so it can really be a handful at times. Especially when both act up since the medications for both don't react well so I have to choose which one is bugging me more. Then wait an hour to take the medication for the other. And I'm sorry you ditched the boyfriend, unless of course this is good news and a positive thing for you in which point more power to ya hehe.

My problem was sinuses which I never had problems with before or since. The thing is I had just started college, and since their wasn't enough space in the dorms, was put up in a hotel (Hyatt Regency!). The shuttle service they provided wouldn't start until the week so I was stuck two days with those dizzy spells. I had to be very careful how I slept. And I consider ditching the boyfriend good news (I won't bore you with the details) so please don't feel sorry for me.

It's great that so many graphic designers seem to be anime fans. (I'm studying graphic design myself.) I guess we just love all the pretty art. Very Happy
