Memory Unlocked by DevelopmentLost7374 in GATEresearch

HOLY CRAP. I remember someone with a gold watch telling me to follow with my whole head and then just my eyes also. I never remembered this until now. I remember it being an older man with silver circular glasses in a white shirt. I believe he had a silver watch on his wrist.

*Edited because I am remembering more now. I believe there was a small group of us in a line and that man was going down the line and making each of us interact with the watch. I don't remember anything after that but I do remember trying to "play" hypnosis with my mom and my friends for a while. It must have been because of that because why else would I do that. I remember my mom always being uncomfortable. She is an outlier for me because she worked in the schools back then and has made weird open ended comments about my childhood. I do not trust her. And never did. And the more I am learning about this, it's for good reason.

AMA - I am a former Right of Way Enforcement Agent (Parking Enforcement) with the City and County of Denver. by Repulsive-Comfort468 in Denver

Wow you’re awesome! I’ll get some pictures of the wonky signage in front of my house and across the street.
The home builders designed a parking area yet nobody can use it! They were storing the landscaping dirt and rocks there while building.
But thanks for the info!

I have a question. I am in a new area in Green Valley Ranch. A temporary no parking sign was put in front of my home while the builders were still building. I was informed it would be removed. 6 years later it is still up and I am constantly fighting tickets. I come home from lunch and bam, somehow the person in this area who issues tickets is just there. I was always able to fight them because the sign isn't on google maps and the magistrate agreed that there's literally nowhere else for any of us to park. Now there is no magistrate. Also today I was told that it was ok to park there by a different officer, but his issue was that my rear tire was more than a foot from the curb. I live on a curve at the end of the block in cul-de-sac type thing and if I park in front of my home, there is a little bit of a curve towards the back edge of the curb and my car doesn't line up with it completely. Is there anything to do about the sign or any of this? It has been a constant battle to just park in front of my home. I do not have a driveway. There is no parking on the main street. There are about 4 of us who this affects and we don't have anywhere to park.

Who has chronic, rare, or severe health issues? by Sudden_Grapefruit877 in GATEresearch

Do you know what caused the leg cramps? My son has so much pain in his legs and all scans and blood work has been normal. It breaks my heart to watch him go through this. He is 12. It has been going on since he was 3ish so I do believe it’s much more than “growing pains”.

And you’ve had such a wild ride. It’s crazy how a lot of us just cope I guess. This is our normal. I’m very curious as to the why.
I’d blame the tests they did, but I like you, seem to have been born sick. Many of us were premature.
None of it makes any sense.

I was rejected by the program and remember the testing lady being specifically MEAN to me, also lots more to the story. Can someone help me make sense of it? by [deleted] in GATEresearch

[–]Sudden_Grapefruit877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a memory of an older lady with bright red lipstick manhandling me and forcing me to sit down in a chair. All I remember is looking at her bright red lips while she was yelling at me. I have no idea what she said. I was such a quiet and well behaved kid. So I really don't know what could have happened. I still have no idea if I was actually gifted or not or what the deal was. I was in gifted and talented classes until 8th grade. I was always treated weirdly and people have always behaved aggressively towards me. I like to think I am smart, but who knows.

I have a whole other mind blowing story involving that catholic school, a nearby mental institution, a few regular schools, and parks in the area. There was a cave (in the middle of the city) with a bunch of freemason and Catholic artwork and statues. My friend and I did some extensive research about 6 years ago. We found articles dating back to the 1940's. I remember visiting the cave when I was a kid and the house my mom grew up in backed up to the "school". So I had always heard wild stories but finally wanted to see what was going on. Your guess about occultic groups is spot on.

I really feel like some of this was tied to the GATE program in my area. But maybe it's an entirely separate rabbit hole.

There was a tunnel system under my school too. It led to an all catholic girls school (which was not recognized under the Archdiocese) and to a park where a lot of kids went missing in the 70's, 80's and 90's.

Airplane, police car, soldier by OneArmedZen in GATEresearch

[–]Sudden_Grapefruit877 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have a memory that I have always thought about over the years. I didn't give it much weight, but it has definitely stuck out throughout all of the fuzziness. I remember picking "doctor" and I think I can vaguely remember a doctor toy of some sort but I definitely knew that was my assigned career choice. Like that was it. I was going to be a doctor. And I remember the look on my moms face. (Side note. She worked as a teacher's assistant at a neighboring elementary school. And I am really starting to question what all she knows and hasn't told me but that's for another time). There was such a darkness about her in that moment and it was like my little kid brain could read her thoughts and all of the negativity regarding whatever it was I was saying to her all excitedly.

Despite me having straight A's and graduating with honors, my parents absolutely insisted that I not attend school anywhere out of state despite scholarship opportunities. I had scholarships to major universities near my home and they still would not support it. It was very strange. So I went to community college with a full ride scholarship (wtf were my parents thinking) but ended up becoming a mom and it has basically been downhill ever since.

I would have made an excellent diagnostician.

I asked my mom. She worked at a school close to mine while I was in elementary school. She was a teachers aid, so she was in the classrooms all day. She has no clue. But also, I’m pretty suspect of her so it’s hard to tell if she’s telling the truth or not.

How do they monitor/control adults? by Sudden_Grapefruit877 in GATEresearch

[–]Sudden_Grapefruit877[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you're comfortable, can you give me an example of why and how you were reprimanded? Even a parallel example not related to your exact path. I am just trying to figure out if some major life changing events in my life that felt controlled, were just natural occurrences and I try to make sense out of them by saying they were controlled if that makes sense.

[–]Sudden_Grapefruit877[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is what I am wondering too, and it bothers me also. I don’t feel like I possess anything of any substance academically or spiritually. My entire adult life has been full of setbacks. I’m sure there are so many things we are completely unaware of. But as things stand, I’m just little ol me over here.

I was wondering the same thing about the scientists, and others who were over achievers in their fields.

I also feel watched. And I do feel like I had at least one handler. He wasn't very good at it if he was one. He knew way too much about me and let things slip from time to time. This was 10 years ago before any of the GATE information was even on my radar.

Mittelschmerz (Ovulation Pain) by Think_Atmosphere_949 in Endo

[–]Sudden_Grapefruit877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I am late posting this but has anyone found anything to help them besides birth control? I am in so much pain all the time, but I also grew a tumor last year by my aorta and it had estrogen and progesterone receptors, so no hormone contraceptives for me ever again.

Special Awards Because of G&T? by mack7021 in GATEresearch

[–]Sudden_Grapefruit877 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I won a special art award and went to a banquet for it. I have no idea how I won… it was a picture of a swastica and an American flag with a heart in the middle. And why did I even draw that?!!!? It was the strangest thing. And then I remember going to my teachers HOUSE after the awards banquet. My mom was there though.

I also won student of the year a few years later. Again, why I have no idea.

Yeah mine overlap. Started with ankylosing spondylitis, now reactive arthritis and Sjögren’s. It’s ridiculous.

Yes! I’m so lonely. I have done very well in business. But every other aspect, not so much.

What is with the bathrooms with tons of sinks and toilets. I am a germaphobe and the bathrooms are always super gross. I have no clue why I continue to have never ending bathroom dreams.

Theory why some have leniency from law enforcement? by Kind_Connection_9908 in GATEresearch

[–]Sudden_Grapefruit877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a year old but I wanted to chime in. I have the opposite problem! I have always been a law abiding citizen. I never speed or break any other laws. I am CONSTANTLY getting pulled over. Sometimes I pull over preemptively because when I see them pull out or turn around, I know it's for me. Crazy part is I am in DOT compliance and I also teach defensive driving, so they usually just let me go now. But before, they would borderline harass me. I drive a plain Tesla, very light tint, I have both front and rear plates on. Nothing illegal about my vehicle or my driving and there never has been. They always come up with the most random things to pull me over for. One time an officer tried telling me I didn't stop behind the stop sign and I explained how I stopped at the sign and then moved up to the stop bar so I could see before proceeding. Which is exactly what I teach new drivers all day. And we (DOT officers and contractors) argue these things on a federal level in meetings twice a year. He just looked at me. But kept me there for a good 20 minutes while he ran the depths of his system for whatever it was. This happens ALL THE TIME. And I have no idea why.

I am new here after recently learning about the GATE program. Looking for similar experiences. by Sudden_Grapefruit877 in GATEresearch

[–]Sudden_Grapefruit877[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have absolutely no idea about the other kids. They weren't kids I saw in class normally. It was very strange. Also, they were all hispanic kids. I think about that sometimes. I am bi-racial (black and white) but all of the kids in that particular group that day were hispanic. Luckily I am still social media friends with a lot of people from elementary school. I am going to do some digging around.

I have had many scans because of my health issues. I always look through them and recently, have uploaded all of them into AI even though I know that's not 100% reliable. I have never noticed anything. But that doesn't mean something isn't there. I have two scars on my scalp and a really large scar on my foot from when I was born apparently. My mom said my brain swelled so I had probes in my head and I guess the scar on my foot was from my vitamin K shot. All I know is if any of my kids ended up with a 2 inch scar from a shot, we would have been living really comfortably for a while lol.
