You'll be able to stop worrying once Trump becomes president and annexes Canada.

At least my death will be classy.

Do you have a lot of suburban vermin turkeys in your neighborhood?

Anti Semitic turkeys.

That's a very common anxiety dream. I get similar ones where my teeth are loose. But not as often as the 'ol showing up to a high school final exam without attending the class, or not being able to find my locker.

Why don't I ever have dreams about that hot Danish guy I hooked up with when I was in my early 20's?

I have a similar dread regarding the Seattle fault earthquake that many say is forthcoming. I spend most of my time thinking about it.

Your anxiety at least as a modicum of plausibility and sensibility.

Thats interesting, I didn't know it was from anxiety. I've never had the high school dream actually. Of course, I say that and I'll have it tonight.

I remember when my great aunt died, I would have some awful dreams about being at her house and her having heart attacks or strokes. Really vivid too.

Don't sell yourself short. A Thanksgiving butterball crashing through your window at 10 MPH then pecking your eyes out while it ransacks the living room has as par an odd of happening as sticking your hand in your new snowblower while it's still running. Probability suggests that if you sit in your barcalounger long enough waiting for the stitches to heal on the hand the surgeons reattached, that the turkey will inevitably come busting through right in front of you.

See, it's all so sensible when you think about it!

So, drinking makes a lot of sense right now.

I find that it very rarely does not.

Just like living in London through the 1980's.

That's the thing. There are people who live with this legitimate anxiety. I live in one of the safest cities in the world. Makes no damned sense.

It is an interesting subject but when you live through it it seems far less dangerous than looking in from the outside. Just about everyone I knew in London had a close encounter with a bomb, my wife was next door to the Israeli Embassy bomb in Kensington and I was close enough to it to hear it and I was in the Sussex Arms earlier in the night when that was hit in 1992.

I'm having a dream right now that Heston didn't post a nightmare Eagles Top 5 thread.

Which is, I guess, a survival mechanism—human beings' ability to just adapt to circumstance, to normalize what is fucked up. Good in many respects, but tolerating the awful in others.
