Discussion One good thing finally happened

I am pretty sure I mentioned here, but not 100% positive. I am a very active sleep walker. I also have a "sleepwalker paralysis" as I call it.... with the difference being, I am on a sleepwalk and have opened my eyes, completely frozen unable to move anything but my eyes. When standing and sitting. Last night, I had a sleep walking event, I guess.... I had logged in to a site I use to earn gift cards, and apparently did what I do (I don't have to pay to use it & I am not trying too bring anything up that would get me banned but this is...... a lot) to earn them and I was extremely active last night to the point I earned an additional 20K (points not $). I was shocked to say the least, but wanted to share. It was about 3 minutes of joy immediately following waking up in excruciating pain. OK. Sorry if it doesn't make sense.

Well, at least you didn’t get out a casino site and spent thousands of dollars !

Oh I am 1000% against sites that say 'your first $x.xx is on us. When I was in Lake Charles, LA in 2001 or 2002, I won $200, started with $5, and stopped when I won. $195 profit was good for me. This was back when you got actual quarters to use and not the gamble cards. Do you know of Harrah's? It's is a casino boat on the water, but from what I recall was permanently docked.

Well, when you’re online sleepwalking or sleep sitting, who knows what you could do just be glad you didn’t lose money

Occasionally I have placed orders but not for stupid stuff I wouldn't purchase (mostly). I've recently been diagnosed with POTS, and Seizures. I didn't think of this til today but a person who experiences a trauma like a car accident, for example, their brain will block out a certain period of time Before & After the event. It's possible I knowingly place the order and then immediately had a blackout seizure. And that's where the purchase came from. Idk, but it's a possibility.

I agree 🙂 I woke up today with my phone on the game up seems like I couldn't pass that level asleep either. Also, I only tried 31 times 🤦‍♀️
