Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Grinding Teeth (AHH, OMG!)

    I can't believe this.. I'm ashamed to say, I officially grind my teeth.

    My little cousin always does it, and it always freaked me out. It's scary. But about a month ago, I had a dream where my mouth was closed shut, and I was biting down REALLY hard, and it felt like I couldn't open my mouth. It felt like if I opened my mouth, my teeth would shatter. I've had that same dream about twice before. So, the night after, I told my family, and my sister said, "Oh my God, so that's why you were grinding your teeth!" I couldn't believe it. After I grind, I have severe headaches the next night. I also figured out everytime I have those dreams, I'm grinding. Which scares me! Two nights ago, I had a dream where I was biting down, this time only on my right side, and it felt like my back tooth was shattering. I even touched it in my sleep to check. The dreams are horrifying.

    Everyone says it's because of stress, but what can I do to stop it? I have retainers that I still have from when I had braces, so every night I grind, I get scared and I put them on the next night, so I won't grind. But that's annoying. What can I do??

    Re: Grinding Teeth (AHH, OMG!)

    I think grinding teeth is tied to stress and some underlying anxiety. Try to relax at night. Figure out what's on your mind. Definitely wear a mouth guard so you don't wear out your teeth. Do you wake up with a sore jaw the nights you grind your teeth? If you do, then it's pretty bad and you should see someone about. Otherwise I wouldn't worry about. In fact I wouldn't worry in any case, because that could induce more teeth grinding.

      My mouth/jaw hurts the NIGHT after. Not the day after, about 24 hours after - lol.

      But I don't wanna grind! I gotta get rid of it!

        I think you just need to relax and get some stress out, try fighting, or if not beat the crap out of your pillow before you get some sleep, but on a serious note, yeah just try to get relaxed and calm, maybe try meditating for a bit before you sleep and by that i mean just sit there and get your thoughts together and put yourself in a calm state of mind, get your worries out of your head and so forth, relax yourself. good luck

          Sitting there and thinking might make it worse. When I lay down to sleep, I just think, and that's not good because I think of my problems. But yeah, I'll try to calm down before I sleep. Thanks.
