    Evidently your worst nightmare isn't being incorrect in a cyburbia post (at least one in the FAC).

    My worst dream time night mare usually involves me Mortal Kombat style fighting someone.

    My worst nightmare (aside from anything happening to my baby) that could actually happen is what happened to that poor pregnant woman in Minn. How unbelievably god awful.

    That was a pretty damn good Jake Plummer impersonation though.

    I guess it just means we're going to Pittsburgh to beat the Steelers now. I'm not worried.

    You might want to start 'cause the nightmare is about to come true.

    Nightmares... that's what selective memory deletes man! Gotta love it!
    Now my worst nightmare would be to wake up in a closed coffin and hearing the dirt hit the top and not being able to get out.

    My worst nightmare is that my ex-boyfriend (a psychotic Afghani) will find me and kill me. No lie. I take extra comfort being in a different country than him, and truly hope that he has been kicked out of the US... I sometimes do Internet searches and check the FBI files to see if he turns up on a Most Wanted list. It's sad when the people you like when you first meet them turn into the most horrible monsters once you get to know them.

    Oh yeah, and this is both a figurative and literal nightmare (since it's something I dread and something I have true nightmares about).

    My biggest nightmare would be waking up in my old hosue and having to go to my old job. Good thing my life has improved sooo much.
    Too lazy to beat myself up for being to lazy to beat myself up for being too lazy to... well you get the point....

    My ex is "affectionately" known as Superbitch around me and my family. Planner Groupie's ex is simply sh*thead.

    The mysterious "they" find my "permanent record" and determine that I need to go back to high school for some courses I should have completed. This has been a recurring nightmare at least 5 times now. High school sucked!

    In your bathroom right

    I wish it were only in my bathroom. Two and half years ago, when I was away for two months at GIS school, the toilet in the bathroom above us overflowed. That started a bad mildew problem. I also had a very large bedroom set, that looked a German bettzimmer shrank (sorry, I don't think there is a way to say that in English and it was a hand-me-down from my German-born sister who lived the early part of her life in Germany). Anyway, it was about 11 feet wide and you really couldn't move it around. It interfered with airflow in the bedroom and, eventually, we ended up with mildew on the backside of some of the furniture. The central headboard piece is still out on my back patio and will likely be trashed. I took the end pieces and stuck them in my office as bookcases because they were not so damaged as to be unsalvageable, and I threw away the mattress and boxspring about a year ago. There have been other places the mildew spread to and it is the rainy season here. I threw away more furniture just a few days ago. I and my oldest son have serious respiratory problems and I have been highly allergic to the dust/ mold/ mildew/ whatever this crap is and it just isn't worth it to try to deconaminate some things. At the rate I am going, when my husband finally leaves, I may be moving 2 kids, 3 computers, some clothes and a few blankets. But at least it will be the easiest move I ever made.

    I left out a lot of details. I don't think you REALLY want to know. I sometimes wonder if I could get the health department involved. Some of it is the fault of the apartment management, who didn't deal properly with the bathroom the first two times we brought it up. Now it seems the bathroom is incurable. I have had fantasies of burning the apartment to the ground, the way the Jews dealt with mold in biblical times (or so I hear).

    Toxic mold is a problem in the Central Texas area as well. I'm convinced that we have it above our shower (where the A/C overflow used to drip) because we've both had a lot of respiratory problems lately. I even had my first asthma attack in 10 years this last week I didn't think I was even affected by asthma anymore, especially with all the exercising I do. We've brought it up to the management at our apartment complex but they, of course, have done nothing about it and probably won't.
