I'd like to apologize for the thread I started and explain a little why I did it

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026971936#post41

This is the thread and I used information from a right winged site. I thought I had looked and found a qualified source like CBS but apparently I didn't.

I have this thing where I literally go to sleep right in the middle of reading a sentence. Then I force myself awake and fall right back to sleep. I have even fallen asleep standing up. It happened at the bank a couple days ago and the teller kind of yelled a little loud and said she saw me nodding off.

And the thing is I don't want to go to bed. I want to continue reading and doing stuff even though I can barely function.

So I'm sorry for the bad OP.

You should probably just apologize in the thread; usually that covers it. el_bryanto Jul 2015 #1
Why not just delete it? jberryhill Jul 2015 #2
self delete effectively locks a thread. n/t lumberjack_jeff Jul 2015 #3

Rather than starting a new OP. Unless your OP gets shut down.

You see that button between "add to journal" and "edit this post"? It's called "self delete".

often a great place for 'just news' - sometimes, you get links to highly biased propaganda sources, and if you're not being careful, there you go.

you're describing yourself in a way that could be symptoms of a condition known as narcolepsy; it's dangerous and the root cause could be something that needs treatment.
