My headache is not completely gone, but three Advil made it recede enough that I declare it Not A Migraine, but just a very bad headache.

It would be tolerable if the elephant who lived above me was not going STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP.

Ouch. Sympathies about your elephant.


...Part of it, I think, is just the nature of apartment ceilings. Unfortunately. Even when my upstairs neighbors were quiet, I could still hear the bedsprings when they had sex, and the insanely persistent knocking on their door in the morning (no idea why).

Now I live in an upstairs apartment and worry that *I'm* probably the elephant. I don't stomp, but maybe it's audible anyway when I walk around (specially at 3am). DDR seems so unwise I've given it up altogether.

(...On the other hand, the current downstairs neighbor has very long, very audible phone conversations almost nightly, involving either emotional meltdowns or frequent exclamations of "OH MY GOD!" This lessens my concern for her delicate sensibilities a bit.)

Yeah, part of it. For the most part, normal everyday moving about doesn't register on the ceiling - the guy before the guy today was so quiet I never heard anything except the occasional strange whirring whine like a dentist's drill. And I never hear voices, which is good. My friend in Houston knows from long, sleepless nights that the woman of the couple who live above him is a screamer. :)

I can occasionally hear my next-door neighbor's Yorkie, but only when he's at the door and hears someone coming up to our doors. Other than that either he's quiet or there's more insulation between our walls elsewhere.
