My husband was on the side of the bed by the door. The bathroom is next to the other side, out of view in this picture.

Very cool then & now photo shoot.
The women who dug the graves, the kids who watched the largest battle in US history – and the slaves forced to help fighters at the front. 150 years after the last shots were fired, Guardian photographer David Levene travelled across the US photographing the sites scarred by the American civil war.

No. Actually, not remember exactly but he said something like, ‘why did I get in his way’, why was I not letting him go past’. Then ‘yes you did, you stood in my way’ He then claimed I put my arms up or something to stop him. Something like ‘yes, you stood in front of me and wouldn’t let me through’ ‘deliberately got in my way’, ‘wouldn’t let me pass’. That sort of thing. When he came around and stood in front of me, though I was up on the other level of the floor he had a very aggressive posture, coming up close to me in a way that made me think he was going to push me or something. He has never been violent or physically abusive and we’ve been married for years.
When the conversation started I didn’t even understand what he was talking about. I could not follow it.
The word bathroom was only used when I said ‘what are you talking about, all I did was go to the bathroom, you were in bed? You just walked over here now’.
That whole conversation went on for a long time, hours into the early morning, me repeating similar statements. I kept trying to explain it to him, thinking he had a dream but he was upright and telling me all this looking at my face, eyes open. It took me a long time to even understand what he was telling me. I did not think of the civil war thing for a long time after we had gotten home. I think maybe months. It was so uncharacteristic of him.
All this time I have been telling the story as if he was wanting to get in the bathroom but come to think of it he never did say anything like that. It was all about me blocking him, and the way he was telling it like I was doing that to start a fight and he was going to finish it.
Interesting to realize. I have never put that together.
Because land was more clearer for pastoral endeavors
We are far more wooded now

That was William Sherman. But I'm sure Grant would have agreed with him.
Very cool!
Heat. No propane back then.
Great-Great Grandfather, a Rebel, fought at Shiloh. Told my grandmother when she was a child & asked him about the war, “It was awful, Izora, just horrible. So horrible you could hardly even tell whether or not you had killed anybody!” - I’m 69. My parents took me to Shiloh when I was a child. The “Bloody Pond” was still a deep, dark, crimson-black in color at that time. It has faded with time, as all memories of war tend to fade. - War is HELL.

The picture of the dead at Devil’s Den is widely known by Civil War historians to have been staged (the dead were actually very much alive).
I think Frank Gifford fought in the Civil War.
thanx. bumping
Why does it take a British newspaper to publish history photos of the Civil War?
I like the slider with every picture to transform the photograph to present day. The soldiers look like ghosts.
Thank you for posting.
Sleepwalkers arise from the slow wave sleep stage in a state of low consciousness and perform activities that are usually performed during a state of full consciousness. These activities can be as benign as sitting up in bed, walking to a bathroom, and cleaning, or as hazardous as cooking, driving, violent gestures, grabbing at hallucinated objects, or even homicide.
So I guess that arguing about "why you were blocking me" would fall within the scope of sleepwalking.
Regards,
I doubt it. He still remembers the incident as he claimed he saw it that day and never has ‘woken up’.
“Sleepwalkers often have little or no memory of the incident, as their consciousness has altered into a state in which it is harder to recall memories. Although their eyes are open, their expression is dim and glazed over. Sleepwalking may last as little as 30 seconds or as long as 30 minutes.”
Have you considered the possibility that you were sleepwalking - or otherwise cognitively impaired or in an altered state of consciousness? Maybe you really were blocking your husband, and you remember it wrong.
Regards,
Now you’re reaching. Obviously I was awake.
