Need Help With A Few Questions Pertaining To Somethng That Happened to Me Wednesday.

Hi there.

Let me preface this by saying I am not a UFO/Alien conspiracy person at al. Do I believe there is sentient life somewhere in this Universe other than us? Yes, of course I do, to assume otherwise would be, I feel, pure hubris. I have seen unidentified 'objects' twice before in the past, at great distance from myself (Once in FL a few years ago, and a spate of sightings had been reported that night near Lake Okachobee). These occurances I chocked up to being experimental goverment type craft (which I do believe we have). It's the aliens here, among us now type scenario that I really have a serious problem with. I have a healthy dose of paranoia, but it's not at all extreme in any way.

Okay all that said, I really need some help finding a rational explanation for what happened to me on Wednesday night. It was about 3AM in the morning, and I was just about to head bed after making a last check on some of the threads here on ATS. Understand that I live in a very quiet suburb that is always quiet as the grave after about 1AM. I distinctly heard 'male' voices (I say male because they were deep and rich as a male's would normally be) somewhere outside my house. Which immediatly freaked me out, because I thought, possible burglars. I considered calling the cops, but did not, because I would be embarassed if I sent them on a wild goose chase.

I went to peek out all of my windows. I saw no one. I saw no cars or other vehicles around on the streets that did not belong there. So I shrugged it off. Now I was bit shaken, so I sat back in my chair and just... sat still and listened after turning out the lights around me Once again, I distinctly heard these voices again, again thinking they were male, and possible burglars. Once again, I talked myself down from calling the police, but now I was even more shaken.

It wasn't raining, and there was no lightning outside. Finally at around about 3:45 I calmed myself down enough to go to bed. Now, my bedroom is at the back of the house, there is no driveway anywhere near it, so I know a car could not have, in any way, accounted for this. As I lay in bed and did my nightly meditation, there was a huge, brilliant flash of light, that light up the back of my eyelids far more harshly than any lightning storm I've ever been in. Along with this flash I felt a rolling sensation of utter fear along with severe disorientation that lasted for several minutes. Needless to say I was up again, and out of bed this time really scared out of my wits. I was unwilling to call the cops because... what was I going to say? Sorry I dragged you out here at 4 AM officer, but really, I did see this massive flash of light behind my eyes? That... wasn't going to cut it. Needless to day I couldn't get to sleep until dawn. Last night again, I heard voices in the wee hours as I was speaking to friend on the phone at about 2:30. Cue another sleepless night.

I don't know what to think about this. At all. It's got me very much on edge. The voices I could write off to burglars... but the weird white light flash after it I just cannot come up with an explaination for. Can anyone here help me out? Has anyone ever had a similar occurance happen to them? Bear in mind I know absolutely nothing about UFO/Alien issues.

Thanks in advance for any advice/help/words of wisdom!

Could you determine that the flash of light was from an external source? Were your eyes open or closed? Could it have been a physical manifestation of a bodily electric malfunction?

As for the voices, could it have been wind? Are you above an underground water source or pipes that carry liquids?

I don't have any advice for you but I had a similar experience myself,I was at home one quit afternoon by my self reading a book and heard someone called my name in my ear as if someone was right next to me.I think something is going on and don't have a clue to what it is.I have heard that chaos would reign down upon us in the next few years but I don't remember where I read it,could this be a part of that kind of scenario?

reply to post by Alethea


Good questions, Alethea, thank you for replying. It could have possibly been wind, but the 'voices' seemed to speaking words, I just could not pick out what they were. The first one was something like a shout, which is what had gotten my attention in the first place. I do not live on top of a water source, nor do I have a basement, only a crawlspace. The only pipes are the ones that run to my bath and half and the kitchen sink. My house isn't given to too many creaks and groans in general since it's one story and it's old enough that I haven't really experienced any sort of 'settling' type things since I've moved in.

At the time, my eyes were closed, and I had finally attained a very relaxed and lucid state after the entire 'voice' incidents had set me on edge. I don't think it was a bodily electric malfunction, though that may have been the case. (And if that's all it is then thank the heavens!) The flash itself was definitely external to myself. It was like someone had stood over me and snapped a photograph with those intense professional flashes you see used in modelling shoots. We get plently of lightning along with storms, and it seemed far more intense and brilliant than a flash of lightning that would happen when my eyes were closed. Also, lightning doesn't scare me. I really don't know what to make of it. Part of me wonders if I should think about going to my physician on Monday to have myself checked out, but at the same time I worry that that would be highly reactionary. Just not sure what to make of it all.

Almost humorous to admit, but it kind of made me think of the 'flashy things' in the movie Men in Black!

could you remember any of the words or phrases they were saying? Could you recognize what language they were speaking? Was it a human sounding language? something familiar?

Other than aliens, or neighbors, I don't know who or what it could be. The White Flash is something that intrigues me, kinda makes me think of men in black, did you recall any loss in time? did the night seem shorter than it should have been? If so, you might have just gotten abducted.

Did you hear anything else?

That FEAR feeling is something that I truly have experienced. It's like you feel this super ominous vibe, as if some 1,000 lb. gorilla is going to eat you alive, but it's waiting for you to spot it in the corner - yeah, I've had that before. If it were 'Aliens' then I think it's the 'bad ones' that talk in really low voices, wear people-skins and use these kind of 'emotional guns' point them at people, and induce fear.

I've dealt with that fear, you just have to keep talking, even if it's in your head, sing if you must, do whatever to get your mind off of the Artificial Thoughts. I just start blabbering, kinda speaking from my heart, and they go away (real story).

What you're speaking of made me wonder if it wasn't the spirit of someone close to you that has left this plane. I've had experiences with sprits/ghosts in the past. This, however, didn't feel like that.

I do wonder if its a health issue, because sometimes lately, late at night, I seem to almost catch smething moving in a sort of 'cloaked' (for lack of a better word) state at the edge of my peripheral vision. I don't worry about it too much though, because I know my father looks out for me, so I wonder if that isn't him. Also, other's have seen my father's spirit hovering around me before. The fact this entity that you experienced whispered your name in your ear, is what makes me wonder if it's a spirit of someone close to you. That said, I am NOT at all an expert in parnormal studies.

Oh, well yeah, I didn't even think of that! (damn you ATS, with all your alien threads, we need more in the Paranormal Forum!!). Yeah, def could be a paranormal thing, I have seen Shadowy figures before, and they've never really bothered me, in fact, when I look back on my experiences, I believe they were trying to make their presence known to me, deliberately showing themselves in front of my face.

Don't fear The Shadows, I believe all the spirits right now, are trapped in a hell of our own making. We are connected to our family, to our anscestors, and if we let The Man kill our dreams, steal our voices, take our joy, that type of emotion is going to carry on and inward to The Spirit Realm, where are guides are meant to be just that, guides, higher selves, our own self destruction is cutting off the karmic food supply to the higher and lower realms. The Shadows are your friends, they have guided me through my life, and even though I would have wanted to choose what I believed was 'better' at the time, I believe it was suppose to work out this way, because they see more than We can. When they come here, it's like their spirit gets filtered, oil to water, you can't see the color, because WE ARE BEING COLORIZED.

Leira, thank you for the reply. The abduction thing is what I'm really terrified about. I mean, I've never believed anything like that really happens, which I'm now beginning to wonder if my dismissiveness of such things wasn't not only harsh to others who have experienced such things, but a form of denial.

The voices were very jumbled, I couldn't pick out a distinct language,. What was odd was that the source of them sounded, at the time, as if they were just right outside my front door, which is about 6 feet away from where my chair is. Believe me, when I first heard them, and then heard them again, I tried to pick out what they were saying. Also, it just 'felt' like someone was out there (which I know doesn't amount to a hill of beans ) , if that makes sense? I do know there were at least two separate voices, perhaps a third, but I can't be certain, and it seemed to be some sort of conversation. Add to that, I'm a musician, so I am very adept at picking out distinct tonal variations and differences.

That's a really good description of the fear. The 1000lb gorilla. I honestly felt so scared it was a labor to even draw in a breath. Kind of like drowning in air, if that makes sense, along with a sensation that I can only describe is vertigo-esque. Like when I opened my eyes, it was if my vision was a movie camera pulling backwards very quickly to resolved into a sharp, clear frame. Also, I should have mentioned in my reply to Alethea, I do have the ability when meditating to 'see' the room around me through my closed eyelids, though I couldn't 'see' the room before right before this happened. I have experienced that 'fear' one other time,. and it was the night my aunt and I were in Jupiter FL and I saw the strange 'UFO' jumping from point to point in the sky over past the Intercoastal, when we looked at it through binoculars, it appeared almost like a ring of light. Then it would 'teleport' itself elsewhere, miles of, again and againf. Other people had reported seeing similar things that night, because I actually went to look it up on a UFO site, but everyone was saying it was 'swamp gasses'. When I was standing outside about an hour after the 'UFO' dissapeared that night, I felt that same 'fear' and ran inside the house and locked all the doors.

I used music to calm myself down from the 'fear', but it makes sense given the fact I'm a musician. The right music can instantly send me to my 'happy place'

I completely lost track of time, so I really can't say if things felt shorter or longer. The disorientation was definitely very 'time' based. I did actually go so far as to check myself both yesterday, and today for any unaccounted for bruises. There are none, but my back is sore... though that could simply be from sleeping in a bad position.

ETA: In the various paranormal experiences I have had (including a very, very nasty poltergeist experience) I never had this 'fear' sensation that I experienced, which is why I didn't take this to the paranormal forums. It could have been paranormal based, but it just didn't 'feel' right to me, as I'm pretty at ease with the spiritual.

reply to post by ProvehitoInAltum


hmmmm!!!

yeah, I know what you mean about those voice, except I saw them outside my apartment, and I could sense that they were using The Waves on me. I got to admit, this just sounds way too weird. Whatever music you listen to, that helps you to calm down like that, keep listening to it, so that you can STOP FEELING that fear, because that fear is an attack on what your soul can produce. Remember, these types, whether alien or spirit, cannot mes with you ulness you convince your mind that they can.

Stay Calm, and know that Love will guide and keep you safe.

Ah, I have to go out pretty quick, wanted to write this before I forgot.

I hope it makes enough sense and might be something to check out.

You said you were on the computer/net prior to this 'event' and voices happening?

Could it be some kind of "interference" through wifi?

Myself, I get all kinds of interference. Neighbors "jam my waves" and kick me off the net. But also, the cordless phone gets weird - I get like "feedback" through the phone if I'm in certain areas of the house. Or it seems like I am speaking on speakerphone, or what I am saying is being microphoned back at me. Or "feedback" for lack of a better word.

I am convinced this is some signal problem between the wifi and cordless phone.

Which leads me to think - could "voices" somehow be echoed or picked up by any electronic equipment you may have? I have never "heard voices" through my laptop speakers here - but then again - I have the volume "off" 99% of the time.

Who knows what other equipment might have caused "the voices"? Or even some sort of physical echo outdoors?

I used to "hear voices" like a radio broadcast in one place I lived. Others heard "them" too. What it was - the fishtank heater. When the heating element in it switched on - it vibrated or something - and was indeed making noise - which - from a distance - sounded like radio or people talking.

Just some thoughts. I would try to rule out anything like this, ask your neighbors if they've taken up jogging at 3am, etc.

Why not call the police now - call the non emergency number - and ask if there was any disturbances reported?

This experience has happened to many people here on the planet. Some here are what could be called hybrids, and I mean that on a DNA scale. The people of these humans, the ancestors from other worlds may be coming back to give them a message, or to guide them along their path, or mission here. Here is my own remembered experience, I am quite certain more have happened that I cannot, or am not allowed to remember at this time. For your consideration, no questions, please.

Amie first came to me in 2001. I began to hear a female voice calling my name, over and over, especially at night. I could fell a presence, but could not define it for what it really is, you know? It was December in northern Indiana, colder than a freezer, and two feet of snow on the ground. I was house bound, our little Toyota pickup could not make it around until the roads were cleared.

On the third night, late now, I was fast asleep. I felt my covers being moved, and a woman began to mount me as I lay there. I hadn't yet opened my eyes, I thought it was my ex wife, who did in fact come over for sex quite often when her new hubby went trucking, but that is another story. I was quite paralysed, could not move, but was aware. Suffice to say, she took my essence, though not completely against my will.

I told my son of these things, and he told me that she would probably be back, which she did come again. Again I was asleep, and I felt a hand shaking my shoulder. I woke up and she was there, standing near my bed. she wore a one piece outfit, neck to feet, blue in color, and no zipper, or buttons of any kind. She bade me get up, and get dressed. I did as she asked, shirt, pants, long underwear, leather jacket, wool socks and lace up boots. As soon as I was dressed, she turned to the wall in our house trailer. Now this trailer sat up some four feet off the ground. she waved her little hand and the entire wall disappeared. We stepped out like the yard was at our level, and the snow was gone, the yard was green with grass, and it felt warm to me.
In the yard was a small, round craft of the common UFO photos and drawings we see of their craft. It was gray in color, and looked to be 25 feet or so wide, it was round with a slight rise on top, very classic looking.

A door on the side of the craft divided, and half came down while the other part went up. the "ramp" looked like it had rubber on it, and as we approached the craft she took my right hand and held it out, and a long, slim hand came out, the fingers were really long, and the fingertips had little suction cups on each one. The hand traced the design in my had, I have a perfect "M" or "W" in each hand. The hand withdrew, and her and I boarded the craft. Inside it was really large, I looked and could see where the craft rounded away from me.
She took my hand and we went into a "room" or "cabin" where there was a small tower coming from the floor with a keypad on top of it. The keys all had symbols on them, and being into symbols, I recognized a few of them. I reached out to touch it, but she took my hand, and told me in my head that it was a control of the craft. She told that her name was Amie, (she even spelled it for me) and that was her craft. She then pointed to two very small chairs, like those little recliners you see for children. She sat down and bade me do the same. So, being a big, tall guy, I tried to sit on the back of the seat, and I found myself in a seat that fit perfectly, and a belt like thing formed around me to hold me in place. She took my hand, and told me I would go to sleep, and when I awoke she had something to show me.

When I woke up I was standing outside, it was beautiful, like the best Spring day ever. I saw animals and a stream, trees and clouds, and there were two Suns. The air smelled sweet and fresh, and I had not a pain in my body. I had been in a bad accident)
I turned to her and saw for the first time how beautiful she is, she glowed, her hair was long and coal black, as were her eyes, I have a strong feeling she really didn't look as I was seeing her. It was like she had created a suitable "suit" that I would be OK with.
I asked, where is this place? She replied, this will be your home when you pass over, and you can stay as long as you like, or leave anytime. It was like a Nexus, you know, like in Star Trek "Generations." It felt good there, and whatever I thought became reality. I saw my home, with my Mom making a cherry pie, and the smell of coffee and bacon frying, I saw a car I always wanted. Several women I had known just appeared there, and then faded as I thought of other things. Amie pointed to a large rock, and told me to lift it using my mind. I did this easily, and the rock rolled a little as it crashed down. I then saw an airliner, and realized that I could very easily bring that down too. A test, you see? When I looked back at her, she smiled at me.

We sat at the stream and talked for awhile, she knew everything about me, and said that I was special, in a genetic way, and that one day I would know how special, and the reason thereof. She said that there are many like this here on Earth, and that all would be eventually contacted.

She told me many things, some to be told, and some not to be discussed with anyone. The last thing I remember her telling me was that she may be "destroyed" (her word) for telling me, and showing me these things. I was greatly distressed at this, for I liked her a lot.

When I woke up again, I was back in my bed, fully dressed, and all my clothes were on inside out! I had to get my son to help me get them off. Amie never came back again, even though I often called for her, but two weeks ago I again saw her, she was like a long lost friend. She appeared for just a few seconds, but it made me feel alive.

I have to ask, has anyone else had such an experience? I know that I am not the only one, I have some friends and contacts who have had similar experiences, one guy i know was in a coma for two years following a severe head injury. When he woke up, he swore he had been on Venus the whole time, and vividly described what he had seen, and done while there. I have a 9 year old step son that will tell anyone he came from another world, and his Mom was just a medium for him to come. He is a dwarf, and is very intelligent, beyond his years.

This world, everything, actually, seems to be fast heading to a climax of some kind, does anyone else feel this? One day ALL will be known.

Actually what you are saying makes a lot of sense whiffer. The only things I can say to that are that I don't have WiFi, I live in the stone age and still have my DSL that I got about 7 years ago. I'm planning on selling this house and moving to another state, so I just have never bothered recently to upgrade it to wireless. I actually wondered myself if my speakers were picking something up, at first. The only problem is that my speakers are off to the left of where I was sitting, and these voices were outside my door which over to the right. The acoustics in here don't support the location of the sound having 'bounced' against the door and then back at me. At least it certainly doesn't when I'm listening to music. The only electronic device in my bedroom is my rather ancient alarm clock. Normally I also have an IPod dock in there, but I've been reorganizing my living room so the dock has been relocated to my dining room table for the past two weeks. I don't have a working phone line in the bedroom, nor do I take my cell phone in there with me, so I don't think that could have been the source of the 'flash'. The only other explaination I could possibly come up with is that someone else heard the voices, called the police, and perhaps the police were outside my bedroom window and flashed a bright search light around? Though, that doesn't really account for the sensation of fear and disorientation.

Trust me, I want this debunked into something normal and explainable more than anyone can imagine!

say waaaah?

That's pretty crazy if true, but I can believe it. I've had some really unexplainable stuff happen to me too. It is sad to hear that the ones who choose to contact us are threatening their lives for doing so, makes me wonder if they too follow some type of hierarchial system, in which specific rules are set. What an amazing story! I wonder why you could create there, and not here. Have you tried creating here? What is wrong with Planet Earth? Why can't we do those things? Almost sounds like the ET sent you to a computer/holographic simulated reality. But why? "Getting Deleted" like, as if we are living in a computer of some sort. What gives?

reply to post by autowrench


Autowrench, I went ahead and sent you a U2U about your story. It has me very intrigued for some reasons I just don't feel comfortable getting into on an open thread because it's kind of intensely personal. Thank you for sharing your story here!

reply to post by leira7


I am definitely trying to get rid of that fear feeling. I can't stand it. I am normally a very fearless person. I travel all around the world on my own without fear of anything happening to me, even though I am a single woman, and many of my female friends think I'm downright crazy for doing so! This entire sensation is an anethama to me. It's making me sort of angry at myself because I am so jumpy right now that I'm sitting here flinching every time I hear a car passing by outside on the street. Or each time my heater goes on. This is totaly not who I am at all. The fact that the slightest noise has me jumping out of my skin is something I can't keep on with. This kind of paranoia is so totaly unhealthy it isn't even funny. :/ I really just want to figure out what is going on, and how I can stop this 'fear' thing, whatever is causing it.

Concerning experience with 'voices in the head' and ' bright light flash with eyes closed'. Well the bright light thing is an easy one. It is something that is experienced by most people. There is a scientific word for what you are most likely experiencing. It is called "Myoclonic Jerk" or something close to that. When a person is tired they sometimes experience 'sleep starts'. Sleep starts can manifest themselves as overreactions to a noise, such as a beep, click or some similar, simple sound that normally would not cause you to take much notice to, but when you are very tired, that sound can cause your entire body to JERK, or otherwise do a full body twitch.

Sleep starts can also include the bright flashes of light while eyes are closed. This usually occurs while you have just gotten into bed and closed your eyes. I myself have had these and actually, more often than not, I have a continuous bright light that forces me to open my eyes just to get rid of it. Strange isn't it?

OK, now for the voices in the head. That can be a bit more tricky. It could be severe anxiety, actual person(s) outside your house, a tooth implant from your buddies at NSA,

Now we could get into the whole space time, Duality Chaos Electro Magnetic Fractal Energy Matrix thing, but that would entail more time and effort than I may be capable of. My take on it is when a person gets very tired and is in the process of falling asleep, they enter into a pretty cool state of mind. Your little pine cone could have just been working its' magic. (Pineal Gland)

Anyway, you can rest easy knowing that you are not alone, you are not going crazy, and in all actuality, you are a step ahead of the game by simply exploring the possibilities of your situation, not freaking out and going straight to a shrink.

Good luck buddy.

OK - more on "Stone Age" electronics LOL - me too kinda - but your old DSL made me think of something. I too have DSL (ATT) and until recently had an older modem/router (combo) - probably 7 + years old also. And that thing WAS wifi capable - my neighbor could even use it outside (let them use my code #).

So maybe yours is like this too? My point being - even if you aren't using wifi - the thing could still be "conducting" or "transmitting".

?

Maybe someone with more electronic knowledge has some further ideas. I do know that the 'old stuff' - and simple things too - can go wonky and/or do weird things.

Like the idea of potential police spot lights bouncing around also - this has happened to me too - and I when I went outside to look - I was immediately grabbed by the cops and hauled off to the police station! There was a party in the area and someone stabbed 7 people at this party, then ran - and the cops thought they were in my area. I was in bed reading a book, in my PJs. Do I look like I just got through stabbing 7 people LOL? Well, they let me go and even drove me back home and were very apologetic. Cops go goofy on adrenaline too sometimes.

And speaking of spot lights - maybe someone just started a new paper route in your area? They would have lights and maybe be confused and talking. 3 am is a bit early for them though.

Other guesses - minor sewer or gas explosion and fire? Electrical problem outside? Would bring people and maybe a 'flash' of light?

Do you have a HOA or neighborhood association to call - about any activity that may be going on?

I am just trying to come up with thoughts as I live in a dark and creepy spot too - and who knows what creeps around here? Actually, I am masking alot by having fans going at night. Some neighbors of mine have had break ins - while they were home - I was kind of shocked - one had a guy literally beating her door down, she was on the phone with the cops, which she told the guy, he kept hammering away trying to get in! Yikes. Now I have made myself paranoid over hearing some of these stories - and I wonder what I am not hearing with the fans going?

I do believe - not to scare you - I read something once where 3 am was prime burglary time. There have been studies done on this, its like "the burglary hour". Ah but actually - a professional thief would NOT use a bright spot light and draw attention to themselves - so looking at it that way - maybe you can rule out thieves.

Hope you can remain calm. It's very intriguing, anyway.

I had another idea!

I hate to serial post, but - had another idea-

Cops were looking for someone, that's who you heard talking, and the "flash" you saw came from a spotlight on a helicopter over head, which was also in on the police search.

Or, the flash could've come from a spotlight mounted on a police search vehicle nearby / driving by.

As you can guess - I've lived in some high crime areas. Erg. I'm not kidding you - one spot I lived in - the cops had this tricked out SUV with night vision (this was the place with the party stabber.) Ah, fond memories.....

Just another idea.

Wait - another - car repo people.

Stay safe!

Ooooh - it's dark here now and I've given myself the creeps!

reply to post by ProvehitoInAltum
I'm not either but I feel there's so much more to the paranormal than what we now know, and I can't put my finger on it.I don't know how to describe what it is,it's like something more than ghosts afoot,maybe there's a human element to this phenomenon or a technological element because of the increase in paranormal events,and to me it has increased.Anyway I'm having a hard time describing what it is,but do you see what I'm saying?

The "paranormal" just gave me another idea -

If this was something "paranormal" - why would the OP hear (what I assume to be human) - male voices outside?

Ghosts and Aliens don't go around with human escorts, do they? Where they wanna be - it seems they are just "there" and don't hang around doorsteps or even knock.

Which this thought in turn makes me more worried about burglary.

I just re-read the OP and responses - OP you say you are a musician? Do you have much expensive musical equipment in your home? And does anyone know about it?

I don't mean to scare you.

I do believe in (some) paranormal things too - friend lives in a haunted house and I've caught a few glimpses and had some strange feelings. So have other people, in this place. So - not looking to disprove any paranormal or anything.

Just pondering things here. And concerned for your safety. Why not call the cops and ask if anything was reported - and - you can ask too for them to drive down your street at the same time of night - while on their usual patrols - and they will do this. Like I said - I've been in some spots that were a few steps away from Afghanistan (west side of Chicago) - and even in these places - if you call and ask the cops to drive by at certain times, they will. They gotta do something in between shaking down drug dealers, beating people senseless, getting freebies from hos, and waiting on the fresh donuts, they're bored

(No dis meant towards LE in general, just some of Chi Town's "finest" , which would be more properly classed as psychotic criminals rather than LE anyway.)

Stay safe. Just a thought.

I am intrigued by both aspects of this - the voices as well as the flash of light.

A positive thought - jeez, what a criminal and copyright infringer I sound like, - letting people mooch the wifi, now will suggest you find some alarm company logos on the net, print them out, and stick them in your windows. But if you are really scared and something fishy IS going on - I am sure it is understandable. Not as if you'd be selling them or anything either. Why not even BUY an alarm system - right now? Call them up - right now. You say you are moving out of state - well get on the phone and tell them what kind of deal you're looking for - transfer of service to your new home, yadda - they'll do it - they want the biz.

Tell them to come by and install it TONIGHT! at 3am! They just might do it

Anyway, I hope you get it all figured out and can relax.
