Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

I'm getting the pig!

One thing to know is that it can cause very intense dreams.

Mike had a very vivid dream the one time he used it and won't touch the stuff ever again.

Melatonin worked the first night I used it, sort of worked the second night, and didn't work at all by the third.

This could easily be one reaction that I have. My system seems to get immune to stuff that I really wouldn't mind getting slightly addicted to.

Thanks for the info, y'all. I think I'll start with half of a melatonin pill and leave out the magnesium for now.

So my master plan of getting a home equity loan and buying a place in Texas in cash and then paying off the loan once my place sold - THWARTED!

Crap. I meant to say that this sucks! Easy-selling ~ma, msbelle.

Our wings are not tired.

I get started on the Morris ones from Bradbury and Bradbury and weep with desire.

Wait til you get to the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, Amy. The cafeteria has different dining rooms, all of which are done with Arts and Crafts motifs, including Morris wallpaper. It's exquisite.

Melatonin comes in a wide variety of doses. When you finally get a TJs, you can get chewable small dose pills.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

and now I am wondering why there are not wallpapers, fabrics, and dishes in the traditional florentine paper design motifs.

Because books.

Believe me, java, I can't wait.

Jesse, there's stuff you can spray to soften the glue, and then try one of those scraper things that you use in a circular motion to really break it up before actual scraping. We took 1950s-era paper off walls once, and it wasn't easy, but we got it done.

When some family friends moved into a place all wallpapered up all old lady, they threw a wall depapering party. Got the whole thing done in one night. I recall lots of drunk steaming and one dessicated mouse discovered. But it's doable. There was a lot of wallpaper in that house, part of the original old-money Cruces. Which isn't NYC, but still.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's awesome that all I can think about when I watch those shows is my grandmother dying. But there it is.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Anyone interested in seeing the infamous penny? You can just barely make out Lincoln's head!

Jesse, you can also rent a wall steamer thingie at places like Homo Depot...

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Melatonin worked the first night I used it, sort of worked the second night, and didn't work at all by the third.

Whereas for me it didn't work all that effectively (but better than the nothing that was my other option) for the first couple months. It took a while, but now a 1 mg dose can usually ensure I sleep easily the whole night.
