Has anyone ever meditated and felt like an inanimate object?

It sounds as though your mind had started to develop and experience an Earth nimitta, the element "personified", such as meditations on other elements, I.e. Water, Fire and Air (breath) often appear as nimittas, rings or other meditative objects (and also as sensations like you mentioned), these are not the only nimittas that we can use, there is also a nimitta of bright light, and a nimitta of void and many more. The Buddha said there are 88,000 different gates to enlightenment, so no way is wrong! As a Buddhist monk, Ajahn Brahm put it, "there is no such thing as a bad meditation."

Our grandaughter is 15 and we have both been with her since she was born. I'm grandpa and I've never been so close to anyone and my wife ever. She was herself until march of this year as they were living with us since our daughter got evicted. Our daughter got divorced a year ago and she has not once paid her rent. She also has a boyfriend that is a known drug seller. They moved 50 miles off. Incidentally our daughter has disowned us and we've never done anything to her. Her personality also changed drastically. Our grandaughter recently started having an aggressive attitude with us and she was very mean to me on Facebook. What do we do? Our daughter also lost custody of her youngest, two months ago. The children services and the court pretty much told us that we have no rights. We are about to go crazy worrying.

Can Betta fish sense if another of its kind died somewhere in the tank?

Bettas are not the most active fish. When they do get active, they need about 20 inches to get a good running start. If you tank is smaller than a 10 gallon, he just does not have the room to get active. Raising the temperature is one way to increase activity in fish, if the spot he has is the most defensible spot in the tank - at least in his mind, he is going to stay in place. More plants will encourage him to look around some more. What is in the rest of the tank? 380 gallons is a huge tank for just a betta.

Breathe. Apply for a scholarship (go to fastweb.com to set up a free scholarship profile). If you must, take out a loan. First, see if you can get a student loan. If not, go to a loan store. That's not that much money, and if your college has student jobs, you can definitely pay it off by Thanksgiving.
