Oh, Jars, much love and strength to you and G.

Emeline watched "The Preamble" Schoolhouse Rock ep this week at school. So I showed it to her again and we watched, "Lolly Lolly Lolly". She loved it. Must add Schoolhouse Rock to the wish lists.

Show her "Interplanet Janet." Oh, and "Conjunction Junction." Or, you know, all of them.

"Interjection!" "Verb!That's What's Happening" (I liked that one because it was a black kid).

I have a great CD called SchoolHouse Rock Rocks! and it's all of these cool alternative artists covering the songs, like Skee-Lo covering "Mr. Morton"

I'm sorry, Jars.

Thanks, guys. It's really okay - It had been coming and G said goodbye a couple of weeks ago when we were in Boston.

In other news - Barb that woman sounds mad as a bag of badgers, for real.

Jars, much ~ma to you and G-- even when it's expected it's not easy and of course, you being on your own right now is not high up on the fun scale.

I may have this screened onto a t-shirt.

So, hivemind, I got a script for 50 mgs of trazadone as a sleep aid. I am a little skeptical and frustrated since I explained 20 mgs of Ambien was my usual dose.

Is traz a good sleepytime pill? Or am I right to be skeptical? Granted, I am at hour 22 of no sleep so my critical faculties are a little off right now, and I may be snarly just because I'm tired.

Why won't doctors believe people understand their own bodies and reactions to stuff. 200 mgs of Unisom and half a bottle of sherry didn't put me to sleep! My tolerance is crazy-high!

I hated it, but it works really well for the people for whom it works. Different drugs, different dosages.

It knocked me out but weirdly. And never let go. But I know it's worked for some people. I really hope it works for you, Erin.

Barb, glad to hear your lawyer laughed and can wipe the floor with her. It seems pretty frivolous. It's not like your name is Stephen King or something. And if the names are common, then all the more reason it's a BS lawsuit.

ION- it's day 4 of elevator not working. The service company has put duct tape across the door. And that's it. I'm waiting for the property management manager to get back from lunch, and I'm opening both barrels. I gotta do grocery shopping, which I can't do cause I am not hauling a ton of groceries up 33 steps. And I got laundry to do (well, I already did shorts/socks because I was in the red zone), but I'm not hauling no 50#'s of laundry down 17 steps. And to top it off, my phone number is STILL not in the front door caller, so I can't even call for food delivery, without having to walk down 2 flights of stairs. And I sure can't carry a pizza up 2 flight of stairs on crutches.

IOON- Crazy Tea Bagger Uncle. Well, his wife just sent a petition about the egg recall, and how we need to crack the whip on the FDA and USDA. I explained that would take tax money, as the previous administration stripped the agencies of funding. Crazy, huh.

But government regulation is bad. It's trusting in the good will and pure motives of business that has made this country great.
