Indoor smoking/drug use continues to be a problem in Building E of the South 67 Condos.  I’ve been smelling it most of the morning since I made the last update to the log regarding this problem yesterday, but took a while for the smell to build to the point that I could verify the actual smell of it.

Last night I ended up getting knocked unconscious by falling into the wall head first because of EXTREME dizziness caused by the pollution coming from E26.  Seems the fact that they could have potentially put somebody into a coma (something I’m surprised I’m not current in after that much of an impact last night) still is not enough to deter them from doing it again today.  Right now what I’m smelling is the spice/incense smell, so at this point I’m starting the stream again & will be giving audible time updates when the pollution starts or stops so the streams can be used as video logging of the problem.

This run of the problem has been happening every day since 12/6/2015.

Health problems from indoor pollution today:
  • Blurry Vision
  • Chest Pains
  • Coughing
  • Dizziness
  • Earaches
  • Headaches
  • Irritated Eyes
  • Nausea
  • Migraines
  • Ringing Ear
  • Sore Throat
  • Trouble Breathing
UPDATE:  When I went to bed around 11:40 AM, I had somebody who was viewing the stream since they started speaking to me over the broadcast chat interface.  At first I thought the guy was trolling on the name alone, something to the effect of “Watch While High”.  Some of the comments also made me thing he was trolling.  However he wished me luck at the end as I shut off the stream.

When I woke up about 2 AM, I was surprised to smell something I haven’t smelled in my unit in a long time, FRESH AIR!!!  I knew what I had said on the broadcast for over 2 hours this morning likely played a part in this, but tried to dissect whether it was E26 had either been scared into stopping or they had just grown a heart over what was said since I went over a lot of details in my life.  Eventually I decided to stop trying to dissect why it had stopped & count my blessings that I had finally gotten a break from it, even if it was brief.

The problem was when I went over the archived broadcast, I noticed there was a rather bad echoing problem, so anything I said previously probably couldn’t really be made out; I ended up having to trash that video.  This was something the user stated when they were talking to me directly before I shut off the stream, so they were actually helping me in the matter.  I still intend on using the stream to point out health problems caused by indoor pollution when it is a problem even with the echoing, but can’t really use those archived videos for backlogs if you can’t even make out what’s being said…

After I walked back into my living room, I did start smelling the pollution again, so my brief euphoria thinking I had finally seen the end of this problem came to a screeching halt & it became obvious I was going to have to continue doing this broadcasts to point out these problems.  I wasn’t intending on starting the stream again until after I got back from the movie with my mother, however the pollution was starting to get pretty bad in brief spurts, so I turned it back on while I worked on writing this update.

This was more of a test to see if the echoing had stopped on the stream, since it seems to be fixed when I did a physical recording of it.  When I get back from the movie, I will start broadcasting the problems again, provided I'm not so tired I just have to go back to bed again.  I would expect I'll walk back into my unit & get hit in the face with the pollution that present (normally this is when it's most noticeable anyways, seeing as the air outside is much cleaner, even when there's an inversion).  Even if I just end up going to bed again, I will add another update to these blogs when I wake up if I have a problem that I don't have the energy to get on the stream.

UPDATE:  As expected when I got back at about 7:30 PM, the pollution continued to be a problem.  I will state that the pollution did appear to be less than normal, but obviously not stopped.  The worst areas for the pollution in my unit appear to be in my home office & living room (like normal).  The smell could be smelled in the public hallways, so I expect the reason for it not being as strong would be because they are starting to take it outside.  Hopefully we’ll see a stop to it before I move, otherwise these logs won’t be removed even after I have moved; I will only fully clean up logging of the problem after I have gotten 24 hours of no pollution (or at least hide them from the public, since I’ll want to be able to restore them should the problem continue after being removed).

UPDATE:  As I already expected, after the stream when off last night, they started up with the pollution again.  When I shut off the stream around 9:30 PM, I stated that I would be going to bed, however the fact of the matter was I couldn't sleep & was awake an additional 6 hours doing things on the computer.  Within this time the e-cig/hookah smell got putridly strong.  I chose not to make the new log entry that night because I just wanted to get to bed, however I definitely intended on getting it up in the morning.  I am going to look into running a form of preview video, which can continue to run even when the actual stream is running, see these bastards in E26 seem to think it's fair game every time it goes off.  With each step I take to take my fight further to get it stopped, there poses further complications, so I'll just have to continue taking further steps until they get it through their fucking thick skulls.

Indoor temperature in my unit reached a peek low of 62° F today due to not being able to use my heater via central air without literally sucking the pollution from E26 over to my unit.  This is also the reason why I have had my gas shut off since September of 2015.  Regardless of whether I am avoiding using my central air or not because of the putrid filth that comes from other units (mainly E26), it still gets into my unit, just not as strong as it would if I were using it.  The pollution from E26 effects every unit on the East side of Building E on the top floor; possibly the bottom floor also, however only the people living down there could actually say that.
