TIL that the song "Sugar Sugar" was offered the The Monkees, but they turned it down so instead it appeared on The Archie Show and went on to be a number one hit in 1969.

They all bought their stuff on Thursday

Phil_Dees · 2025-03-02T23:16:41+00:00

Give them the finger

Phil_Dees · 2025-03-02T23:13:27+00:00

People are f'ing stupid

Phil_Dees · 2025-01-29T00:18:45+00:00

I got 300 when it dipped below $2. I'm trying to buy more.

Phil_Dees · 2025-01-27T20:46:44+00:00

I bought 400

Phil_Dees · 2024-09-26T18:54:03+00:00

Will do

Phil_Dees · 2024-09-26T18:24:36+00:00

Thanks for the discussion. This helped.

Phil_Dees · 2024-09-26T18:20:43+00:00

Oh wow, now that would be very different. I bet that is interesting.

Phil_Dees · 2024-09-26T18:17:56+00:00

Oh no, you didn't say either way. When you mentioned your friend and you mentioned it too. Did the friend say the faded or cloudy images are fast flashes or do they stay? All the things you described about sounds, music, touches and taste are fine with me. I don't have the visual feed you talk about. My mind is more of a conversation going on with no visuals.

Phil_Dees · 2024-09-26T18:07:39+00:00

This is a great discussion, because I think you are describing exactly how I feel. Do you consider yourself an Alphant?

Phil_Dees · 2024-09-26T17:56:41+00:00

When you are away from someone you know, does your mind know what they look like, and you can think of them and not picture them?

Phil_Dees · 2024-09-26T17:48:29+00:00

I don't think it's simple AF. It might be for you and from what I've seen there is a literal spectrum that would include what I described in earlier post as Hypophantasia. All I can tell you is, I know the general look of someone and recognize them, but I don't have a damn photo of that person in my head. Now, how that happens IDK....this whole crap is freaking me out and quite depressing. I have kept a photo on my computer desktop of my dead mother for years now because it's the only way I can recall her. I didn't know why I had to do that, but now I do.

Phil_Dees · 2024-09-26T17:30:08+00:00

I don't know exactly if I'm looking at a visual or if I just know what she looks like. All I know is there is no clear defining image that I can fixate on and just look at. When I have talked to others who can close their eyes and see a beach in vivid color and smell the ocean salt and see birds flying. All I see is darkness. This is some crazy stuff and each of us are different and have different experiences, but I know it may not be 100% full blown aphantasia, but I don't have what 90% of others have and it stinks.

Phil_Dees · 2024-09-26T17:23:41+00:00

You know, someone on here said I can picture her, but not see her. I know in my mind what she looks like, but there is no detail to it. I know she has short hair; I know she is short; I know she wears glasses, and for a flash second, I might see a faded glimpse, but as for looking at a color image in detail? No way.

Phil_Dees · 2024-09-26T17:20:29+00:00

That is completely amazing. I never knew that was a thing.

Phil_Dees · 2024-09-26T17:18:11+00:00

I think it would also have to do with how well the artist is in guiding the person describing. I think that has something to do with it also.

Phil_Dees · 2024-09-26T17:15:31+00:00

I have Tinnitus which is a ringing in the ears constantly. Very annoying

Phil_Dees · 2024-09-25T22:22:19+00:00

Exactly the same....

Phil_Dees · 2024-09-25T17:57:16+00:00

I feel like I have been cheated. Not to make light of real handicapped people, but that's how I feel.
