[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Benadryl has been a bit of a fail in the past. I'll give the Tylenol PM a try. I'll set the coffee maker on automatic for my rommmate in case it grogs me out too much.
I just attempted a nap. Couldn't even really nap. Finally dozed off and the alarm went off. Great. I set it for as long as possible before I'd need to feed said roomie lunch. Imma put on a nice shirt and take her out to lunch today.
There are about 50,000 things I want to be doing and this is frustrating as shit.
(This sort of thing always makes me try to remember when I came to this board - early 2003, I think - and try to remember that I also have aged.)
This--when I started posting on TT I had just graduated college, was temping at my soon-to-be-real job, and was 22! Sigh. I"m 33 now! Where does the time GO?!?!
I started posting on TT my freshman year of college. I was 19. I'm almost 30!
Happy Birthday, Emmett!!!
Trudy, do you have cats or just dogs? I misremember. If you have cats, and therefore have loose leaf catnip, plus a tea ball or strainer, you have one sleep-inducing remedy at hand. At any rate unless you are allergic to mint, it won't do any harm. I can't say it is reliable for me, because it works the first night, and somewhat works the second night, but by the third night has lost its effectiveness. However, my system tends to get used to things, and so maybe that will not be an issue for you. There is more information including brewing instructions here: [link]
Trudy, have you tried melatonin?
Happy birthday, Emmett!
I still remember white-knuckling my way through the Caldecott Tunnel and over the Bay Bridge for the first time at 19, and damn near having to pull over and throw up at the end of the drive.
I was probably 30 or almost when I drove in San Francisco the first time. I'd been driving since I was 18, and most of that was professionally, so I felt pretty confident. And your above comment precisely describes how I felt having to drive, oh, anywhere, JZ. And some of my travels included crossing the GG twice.
Yeah, pull over and throw up is about right.
Huh, other than the fact that I don't have a good sense of direction in San Francisco driving there has never phased me, even the first time which was when I was still in my teens and drove up from San Diego.
I don't know. For me, even with all my experience, I hadn't done a lot of real hills or big bridges at freeway speeds. These days it doesn't phase me at all.
