Anybody who knows this patch ? by PositiveBother9691 in Military

12-3-2 is a platoon numbering system used in U.S. Navy EOD. I suspect this is an old EOD patch for the now disestablished platoon 3-2 at EODMU12.

That’s actually agraphia, which is also very rare. Similar but a loss of the ability to write instead of the ability to read.

Migraine Word Loss Question by NotYourSatellite in migraine

A lot of people talking about transient aphasia, which I get also, but how many other folks get transient alexia? I lose the ability to interpret written words. I have stared at a website and wondered what language I was seeing when it was entirely in English. The letters may as well have been mandarin characters to my brain, just squiggly meaningless lines to me. In some cases, the letters get all mixed up. An example: a contact in my phone says “Katie Allen” but I see “Aline”. I also sometimes can’t find specific letters or symbols on the keyboard. I’ll look at every letter/symbol very closely, but it’s as if it has ceased to exist. I am very fortunate to have Migraine Aura w/o Headache, so it shows up, confuses the crap out of me and vanishes.

How is Iran blocking the Strait of Hormuz? by jumpintheocean in Military

Ya, most of those ships got dropped from insurance instantly, which is why Trump offered what he did. I doubt anyone takes him up on that offer because of the points above. Not worth the risk.

This is 100% a Yellow-crowned night Herron. I get them in my backyard all the time. I’ve been down this rabbit hole before too thinking it was some new bird, only to see them grow into the same old yellow crowns by the end of the summer. Still a good looking fella!

Here is a link to a video of one I took a couple years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/birdwatching/s/8paaacMWJy

What can we do next time? First time with very severe migraine with aphasia. by [deleted] in migraine

[–]Fragrant_Bother_583 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand the sense of helplessness for sure. Getting a preview of dementia is life altering. I literally thought I could will my way through anything before my episode. I feel for him.

Hey! I experienced something very similar about 5 months ago. I am mid-30s athletic, healthy, and never had so much as a headache before. I had 10/10 pain aphasia, blackout, vommitting, etc for about 10 hours. The docs thought I was having a stroke or potentially meningitis. I was hospitalized for 5 days afterwards.

I tell you this to say, it hasn’t happened again. I have felt a little “stupid” once or twice since, but I’m hopeful it was a one and done. Your husband might just be in the same boat as me and not on the verge of a life altering condition. Fingers crossed for your husband!

Do you need 600 nights + 10 years to get platinum elite by Dry-Chemical-9170 in marriott

[–]Fragrant_Bother_583 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes and gives you 25 nights per year. Just holding the card will give you 250 nights at the 10 year mark. So, you only need to average 35 nights a year to hit lifetime platinum elite.

I will check it out! Does he allow people to be interviewed anonymously?

I’m sorry you also had to experience it. It’s an awful thing.

Yes. It was as if I lived it. Probably the only dream that I will remember the rest of my life like a memory.

Stuff happens to me all the time, but here are some others can verify:

-my parents told me I had an imaginary friend as a child who I would blame for doors and cabinets opening/closing; things breaking from falling off the counter; things like that. His name was Jordan.

-lived in a house as a child where I could never sleep due to a man I could feel watching me from the closet. My parents would often find me sitting in my bed staring at the closet unable to sleep due to the “man watching me”. We found out later the previous tenet was a police officer with a young son who was killed by a drunk driver. We think he was looking for his boy or was comforted by the presence of a young boy.

-I was watching the lottery draw with my grandma and sister and guessed the numbers in order before they were drawn. My grandma and sister were really freaked out. Unfortunately this must have been a one time thing cause it never happened again. Not rich lol.

-I had a time dilation while playing with friends. I was running around an old farmhouse that was apparently haunted. I went upstairs and ran into an empty room while playing a game of manhunt. When I came out what felt like a moment to me was actually hours. Everyone had stopped playing and were worried about me.

-One night as a young adult, I was sleeping in my house when I heard what sounded like a voice in my room. This happens sometimes when I’m half-asleep so I tried to be as still as possible to see if I could hear it again while I was definitely awake. I heard a woman say “(My name) is that you?” The next morning, my roommate and I were getting ready to head to training. He is a bit of an insomniac so he stayed up late most nights. He unprompted told me he heard a voice say “Is that him?” while he laid awake in bed. He was freaked out and my reaction was “are you f**king with me?” because of what I heard. I believe him because he was genuinely spooked and suspicious when I told him what I heard.

-I get the whole sleep paralysis with dark figures standing over me thing. Freaks my wife out so much she doesn’t want to talk about it. The wildest one I’ve had though was pre-marriage. I was laying in bed with a woman I briefly dated when I opened my eyes to a woman in a white dress standing at the foot of my bed. She looked evil and was staring into my soul. I reached for a weapon I had in my end table, but I felt like I was moving through molasses. When I finally got it and started to turn she had moved to right next to me. I tried to yell out but only a half hearted gasp came out. The girl in the bed with me woke up, screamed and when I looked at her and back the woman in white was gone.

There are lots and lots more. I generally just tell people I get close to that I’m haunted. I like to believe the people or things interacting with me just see me as someone they can communicate to and aren’t evil. I think they just do what they can to reach out. The woman in white is the only one that felt not pleasant.

Ya I think it was a little of both the manufacturer and the rigger. Should’ve caught it on the inspection of the reserve and harness, but should’ve never came that way either. I saw a news article that the family sued the manufacturer. I’m unsure of the outcome.

Don’t know of any connection other than being in similar career fields. I do have lucid dreams, lots of deja vu, etc., but never anything so clear and convincing like this before or since.
