This Night Owl Blog has given so much! It is a fun place, we don't bash and we have fun being "tedious"! We offer advice, give love, lots of free food and an open forum which can be about anything that is important, thought provoking or just plain silly. And sometimes we just March (some to different drummers, but all together). :) It is not about a single person, it is about all the people on any given day blended together.....Goldie!

Sleep does come!
i am very sleepy tonight, i always
write the blogs the night before
so i have them ready to post in
the morning
so my thoughts are really with
my bed and my pillow, just the
thought of getting comfy, makes
me happy
i do need a little help to sleep tho
so i take my ambien and off i go
when i was younger sleep always
came on its own, and now my sleep
needs help, when i asked the doctor
"why does our sleeping patterns change?"
she told me as we get older more
is on our minds, and there are times
that we can't shut it down
i also have a problem sleeping out
when i am in a different house if
it were not for ambien i would not
sleep, i guess its the change and the
thought of not going to sleep that makes
me anxious
so now i think i am addicted to
ambien, and i don't think i really
care, as it gives me my much needed sleep
at days end, and who can argue with that
i feel that i rambled on, and not really
sure what i have written, i do know that
the words flowed, so this blog was to be
:O)

Good Morning Lynn - How are you today?
Good Morning,,
Lynn - congrats on first!!
I'm off to read the blog!!
Good Morning Mek. I saw the post go up this morning and didn't realize I wasn't signed in. It wasn't meant to be my morning. You just missed too.
Now I will read the post and enjoy my orange juice.
I meant to say 'blog'. Maybe I am not awake yet this morning.
Morning Glories!
Hi Tinka and MEK
Oh that elusive sleep!
My sleep patterns change so much it seems I never feel rested.
Lately it seems I have been having pretty vivid dreams that I remember snatches of and leave me feeling uneasy so again that rested just fresh feeling is not there. More like a fog induced walk.
I wish I new the answers!
I think I have shut my brain down but lo and behold it is busy making mischief by itself all night long.
Good morning lynn, mek and tink and congrats Miss Scrawny Legs on 1st!
Ambien and I are life partners. I don't sleep good even with taking it. I usually can get about 5 or 6 hours of straight sleep if a night when I take it. Sometimes not that much. I have never been a good sleeper- a fact my kids hated because when they were teenagers there was NO getting around the curfew rule!
I don't do caffiene after 12 noon and I don't take naps. I try to go to bed and sleep but it takes me usually a good hour to fall asleep. My mom has the same problem. Outside my normal environment-forget it, just going to doze and not sleep.
Holy Crap it was rainy and windy and it really was an "Auntie Em" moment here last night Jodi!
Good Morning, Tinka!!
wow - cpgem, great blog...
I woke up tired this am. - so it's perfect!!
I go to sleep with the tv on a timer, and with my K.C. purring in my ear.. sounds funny, but if she isn't wrapped on my neck and shoulder, takes me longer to go to sleep..
I took my own pillow to TX this time and slept alot better!! But it's hard to do that if you are flying....
SO - in my exhaustion this a.m., I'm rambling on and on..
long, short - I don't sleep well if I'm not at home!!
i have never tried any sleep aids.
I hope everyone has an excellent day!! :-)
Good Morning, Goldie!!
OH - do I LOVE an afternoon nap!!
Dogs started barking WAY too early this am., so I have been up way too long already!!!
:-)
I love naps too- but I am screwed if I take one. I will be up all night then! And I am one of those people who need at least an hour for a nap- can't do a 15 minute 'catnap'. I wake up feeling worse and cranky.
I remember when I could just lay down my head and sleep came so quickly. Suddenly it wasn't so easy. I have tried melatonin because I was told as you get older your body makes less melatonin and it is needed for sleep. The trouble with that, it gives one vivid nightmares so that isn't so good. If I am really upset I have been prescribed ativan but that it addictive. I read that setting up a routine helps. So I do the same thing every night. I get into bed at 10:00 and put on one of my favourite movies that we all talked about yesterday. It must be an old favourite, one that I have almost memorized. By the time the movie has been playing for anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour I am asleep. It acts the same way as having someone read to me at bedtime. I set the T.V. and the DVD to go off in 2 hours. If I make the mistake of putting in a new movie or one I haven't seen for a long time I get interested in it and watch it until it's over. Then I can't get to sleep and usually end up taking an ativan. It's a silly routine but it works for me.
It take me less then three minutes every night to fall asleep.
My husband times me every night.
I drink a lot of caffeine.
I take afternoon naps when I'm not working. I absolutley love them!
I am blessed with sleep.
However, poor hubby is cursed when it comes to sleep. He sounds just like Goldie!
lovey is back! I just caught up on yesterdays blog. Super big hugs to you girlfriend!! A BIG batch of brownies being baked in your honor.
I hated that Michael Johns went home on Idol. But it didn't hurt Daughtery any to go early, so we will see.
goldie: I find that I cannot take a nap in my bed at all!! If I decide to take a nap it has to be on the couch with the TV on some inane program and then I can sometimes drift off.
Usually I wake up feeling cranky and bitchy and out of sorts. I know you are supposed to feel rested but it just never seems to work for me.
Good Morning Goldie. I have read all the previous comments and I remembered a couple of things. One, I never drink coffee. It just has too much caffeine in it for me. Secondly, I stop all caffeine drinks (tea, cola, coca) by 2 p.m. I had a coke one evening and my eyes wouldn't stay closed. They repeatedly popped open just like you see in cartoons. Lastly, I must have an afternoon nap. That is different from most people I think. If I do not have a nap I am very tired by about 9:00. I fall asleep for a couple of hours and then I am awake for the rest of the night.
This is a great blog Carol. I am hoping to get more tips for a healthy night's sleep. Research is now saying that 7 or 8 hours of sleep each night will prolong your life. I wonder if that's true.
Tinka: I have used melatonin when I have had bouts of insomnia and it works for awhile and then it stops.
I don't want to try a prescription sleep aid. I worry about becoming addicted! Scares me!
Goldie - I hated to see Michael go home too. He looked so surprised because he had never been in the bottom three. My guess was right the last two weeks but last night I thought it would be Carly.
Lynn - I forgot to say "Congrats on first". I was thinking it but I didn't write it down. Mek you were so close too.
I always sleep to the sound of a fan.
Our electricity was out for a lot of the night.
I almost cried when I went to bed because I thought wouldn't be able to sleep without my beloved fan.
However, my husband counted to see how many seconds it would take for me to fall asleep and he said I was snoring by 59 seconds.
I think I hate you iteach...JUST KIDDING- I envy you! I would give anything to be able to fall asleep like that.
My youngest son also sleeps with a fan. Always-even in the dead of winter he has a little fan blowing on him. When he started traveling for his job he had to learn how to sleep at all hours and not to have his beloved fan in his hotel room. That was an adjustment!
Hi everyone!
Congrats Lynn D on 1st.
Great blog Carol.
About four and a half years ago I went to my doctor completely frustrated. I had been sleeping in a chair for eighteen months and only sleeping 3-5 hours a night. I was tired and cranky (more so than normal) and at the end of my rope. He set up an appointment with a sleeplab, I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and the rest is history.
Two and a half years ago I purchased a CPAP mashine and face mask and I now sleep 7-9 hours a night. I wake up once to switch sides and rearange my pillows and go right back to sleep. I go to bed between 12 and 2 and get up around 9. It uaually takes me about ten minutes to fall asleep...although there are night I have trouble and my mind just doesn't want to shut down. I do not take naps, unless a neighbour has kept me awake with their party until 4:30 in the morning.
I look forward to my sleep now. Have a good day everyone.
Good Morning Owls!
Cpgem: Hope you got a good night's sleep, and thanks for writing today's blog!
I read an interesting article the other day about how computer use before bed can affect sleep. I can't remember all the details, but the article recommended turning off the computer at least 30 minutes before bedtime. I have a habit of doing the exact opposite. :)
From yesterday's blog...
Just Lin: You and your kitty are in my thoughts today.
Bebbi: Welcome to the nest!
BonO: Is Vanished the name of the movie you were trying to remember?
Joey: I hope you knew I was only teasing you about not going to bed. I do the same thing. No matter how determined I am to go to bed early, I always seem to get sidetracked. :)
Waving Hi to everyone!
Happy Friday!
Iteach - I so envy you. I always feel if you have had a good night's sleep you can accomplish anything the next day. I read that lack of sleep is the cause of most accidents.
Shirley - How smart of you to go to a sleep lab and get diagnosed. I think a lot of people have sleep apnea and don't know it.
Good morning, Owls! I can't believe I was up in time to post to 'Area 51'. That hasn't happened in a while, but it's just too gorgeous a day to waste a single minute.
Much like iTeach, I have lttle trouble falling asleep. In my own bed, it's usually 7 hours of pure bliss. Never mastered hotel sleep, no matter how comfortable the bed. I blame it on the added excitement of being 'there', wherever there may be. Hotel stays usually involve too much fun just before bedtime or anticipation of what the day ahead has in store.
I wish I could 'power nap', but anything under 2-hours leaves me foggy and feeling exhausted.
Off to experience the day, after wishing you all a Fantastic Friday!!
Amicus - Good Morning. I read that too about computer use. I do find being on the blog after nine interferes with my sleep, so does talking on the phone. I thought maybe it was the stimulation that caused the problem.
Bebbie - My myspace friend. I didn't see your post but welcome anyhow. I loved that last picture comment you sent to me. It was so cheerful.
Bon Oregon - Another lucky sleeper. You must still have a lot of melatonin in your body. I think most people sleep best in their own little beds. I have to take my own pillow whenever I travel. There is no way I would get to sleep with a strange pillow.
Hi, Tink, Lynn D, iteach, Goldie, MEK, Shirley, Amicus, and Carol!
My question: Why haven't we heard from.... drumroll...
Want_to_Sleep?
LOL!
p.s. for Amicus~~Just saw your post above. Nope, it wasn't Vanished. I almost lost some SLEEP :o) trying to remember this movie last night. I can't even remember who was in it! Just remember seeing it twice and being captivated by every second. Husband searches everywhere, no-one believes him, trucker involved, ends up with a scene involving blowing open a trunk in the loft of a barn(?) somewhere and escaping. DANG! Why can I not remember this (maybe it was TOO scary?), but I can name that awful song from the 60's in 3 notes? Things that make you say "Hmmmmmmm".
Good Morning, Bon'O!
By the way, Carol, if the title of today's blog WAS referring directly to Kathy... well... I'd have to say... thanks for the information!
Hi Bear! :o) Surely YOU can solve my movie mystery?? If it were not for my vow to get OFF the computer, I'd be here all day until I find it.
FOUND IT!!! The movie was BREAKDOWN, starring Kurt Russell and Kathleen Quinlan. Here's the plot-line.....and if you haven't seen it, you just might LOVE it.
Jeff and Amy Taylor are moving to California and must drive across the country. When they find themselves stranded in the middle of a desert with hardly anyone or anything around, their trip comes to a sudden halt. Amy had taken a ride with a friendly trucker to a small diner to call for help, but after a long time, Jeff becomes worried. He finds that no one in the diner has seen or heard from his wife. When he finds the trucker who gave Amy the ride, the trucker swears he has never seen her. Now Jeff must attempt to find his wife, who has been kidnapped and is being held for ransom. But who can he trust?
NOW, I can get on with the day!
Bon'O: Nope, I would not have been able to solve that!
Aloha Kakahiaka Hooters!
Bear....lol
Sleep is on and off for me. Never needed anything to help me sleep, but I do tend to push myself and stay up, for usually nothing 8}.
Naps......never understood them in my youth, but can easily do a 2-3 hour nap now (Can it still be called a nap?) and don't know how some peeps can do that 15-20 minute "power nap" thing, just don't understand that.
ok day is starting off badly, got some work fires to put out.
TGIF!!!! Only 9 more hours to go to the weekend. Waves hello to those who are here, and those yet to come.
Congrats on 1st lynn d!
Sleeeeep.....ahhhhhhhhh......
I love to curl up in bed on my first day off and "try" to watch a movie. I always fall asleep. But my philosophy is "If I didn't need to sleep, I would not fall asleep so quicky!" Therefore...I needed a nap! Just like a little kid. I go weeks without a nap, and then I just seem to crash. Last time I crashed was in Vegas. Ooopsie. We spent all that money going down there and I end up taking a nap every day. I was just so exhausted. My mom always told us we had sleep reserves, and when our reserves are low, we take a good long nap and fill it back up. When the kids were younger, I never slept until morning. I just constantly woke up. Now that they are gone, I put in earplugs and put on the eyemask and I'm out for the night. Usually. I do still have fitful nights where I just can't sleep, but it's no where like it used to be.
Off to get ready to pick up mom for lunch and a movie!
Have a great day Owls!
CAROL - Great blog!!
LYNN D - Congrats on first!!
WOOO HOOO......LOVEY is back in the nest!!! So glad to see you posting in Area 51!! Welcome back......you've been missed!!
As you all know....I'm an EARLY riser. I get up at 2am and clock in at 4am most days. I'm one of the lucky ones that can get by with a 20-30 minute power nap. If I sleep any longer than that....I'm cranky....and really cranky the next day because I won't be able to get to sleep when I need to.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!!!
BON'O.....HILARIOUS! I was just going to tell you it was Breakdwon with Kurt Russell! But you beat me to it!
All this talk about sleep and no sleep. I am so dang tired today and don't know why.
Bono: We have beautiful sunshine today. I was thinking I need to get out and enjoy! Maybe I will go buy a new folding lawn chaise and nap in the sun!
Well if I can work up the energy!
BonO I was going to tell you "Breakdown" also, but I was still reading and way too slow. LOL
LynnD Love seeing those scrawny legs at #1 today!
cpgem8 Great topic today.
I'm one of those lucky ones who goes to sleep within a few moments of laying down. I like to take my pillow with me when I travel. It makes a big difference as it is a down/feather pillow and I really dislike foam ones. Once the air gets smashed out of it, it really isn't difficult to get it smashed into a suitcase.
Good "almost afternoon" Owls!
I love sleep, but I always seem to fight going to bed. I have so many things that I like to do at night, so I start a project at 9 or 10PM...or chat with blog buddies... or watch a show... and then I go to bed after midnight exhausted and when I hit those sheets I always wonder why I didn't put myself there sooner.
Lately I haven't been able to stay asleep. I sleep fine for the first few hours and then around 4AM it seems like my mind will think of something that makes me sit up and check the clock. Most often I can get back to sleep, but there have been nights that after laying there for 2 hours thinking I just decide I should go downstairs and do something.
There are 2 things that ALWAYS help me to sleep. Having the TV on seems to help me... and taking a hot bath. I am infamous for sleeping...a hard, sound sleep... while in the bathtub. Berry always feels like he needs to check and make sure I haven't drowned, but for me it is pure comfort. Maybe I was a fish in a past life?
**Waving like a crazed moth at Barb**
Barb, did you notice that I finally put up new photos on MySpace? Yes...ME.... photos from our trip. Miracles will never cease!
Afternoon Owls!!
Great blog Carol.Ty.
Congrats on 1st Lynn!
Thank you (((friends))))for the welcome back :o)
I have missed those wonderful brownies Goldie hehe.Ty.
Jodi sorry I wasn't fast enough this a.m to catch u before work.
Oh sleep, well I have needed sleep aids for years.
My brain is on "perma overdrive" and it doesn't stop without help.
When I do take the helpers I can sleep for about 4-6 hours.
Sometimes, depending on what my body says, I can sleep on and off for days.A few hours at a time.
Bon, that movie "Breakdown" was a great movie too.
I was in a panic state through the whole movie.I got so wrapped up in the emotions.
Jodi and Goldie, we had the same weather last night.I thought our house was going to be flying off to Oz.
TGIF!!! Wishing ya'll a great day.
xox
((( Bon & Lynn D))) Ty sweet owls for #51.

Carol. I still can't get into myspace. I'll try it on my laptop when I get back. I have cleaned out my cookies/files. May have to try again.
Sleep? Who has time to sleep? LOL, I do! I'm retired! I still have trouble getting to sleep.I worked the night shift most of my life. My internal clock is stuck! I only require 5 or 6 hrs of sleep anyway, but I have read that more is needed for a healthy body. Tell my inner clock that! LOL
Later.........
Shirley ty hon,
I just saw your add request,ty.
Just Lin, ty. I see your glowing :o) It must be all that custard.hehe
Turtle ty. I was thinking of u the other day when Jason sang Iz's Over the Rainbow, did u see it? I loved loved loved it.
Good Day All!!
LynnD-- congrats on first!!!
CPGEM---
Great blog...
I think stress levels have a lot to do with sleep and lack there of...
When I worked at dialysis..I would only get 4 hours of sleep a night..
it was awful.. I would sleep my whole day off... besides teh fact i had to get up at 4:00am.. never... but did it for 10 eyars...
hated it..
I am not a morning person... But I don't consider that morning.. it is still the middle of the nite!!!
Jodi-- more power to you...
I just can't do it...
So many in the nest today...
GREAT BIG WELCOME BACK TO LOVEY!!!!!!!!
missed you girl!!!
Bono-- I was going to post "BREAKDOWN" Kurt Russell... he is another actor I could watch all of his movies...
Hey!!!! Just-Lin...

Just heard from SacBarb and they are at the airport in Honolulu awaiting their flight back to the mainland. I know she is excited about getting back to Cali. We should be hearing from her this evening or tomorrow.
I just woke from my daily hour's nap, very timely for today's blog. Now I feel full of energy to get things done. This morning I spent at the beauty salon getting my eye lashes tinted and eye brows waxed. Can't help but look better for the party tomorrow night. Now to pick out the right clothes. Did I say before that retirement is fun? I think I did a dozen times.
Hey HOoters!!! I just woke up from my "power nap".......uh, it lasted 3 hours!!! I guess my body decided I need it.....LOL!!
TURTLE - Thanks for wake up text.....but I was still moi moi. :P

Hope everyone has had a restful day!!!
Hey cpgem - you and I were typing at the same time!!!
HOWDY!!!
OH - and everyone...
Ghost Whisper is NEW tonight - wanted to make sure and give everyone a heads up!!!
I just reread my blog, geez I was sleepy, strange tho, as I do remember not struggling and just typing away.
I can't believe sometimes how the words just come to me, I know sometimes my words can be cryptic, as I type what I am thinking.
I now think how I used to help my youngest nephew with all his book reports and never had a problem, I would just skim his book and help him along. It was never hard for me. I am just learning this about myself thru blogging, how words just appear to me. Who knew...
mek
Hello! Whats for dinner?
LOL..
cpgem - we are having chicken salad on croissant rolls and soup - I have baked potato or cheddar cheese and broccoli..
which would you prefer!!!????
80
Gotta go back to work, I will check back later, from my crazy computer at home....
82 for mek
mek
Baked Potato with sour cream
Thanks!
And please make sure the baked potato is done, I hate when its hard :O)
83....the year of my high school graduation!
OK...85
cpgem - it's baked potato SOUP - sorry - guess I can start you a baked potato - but you'll have to wait - I hate them done in the microwave!!!
AND, I also hate when the potato is NOT cooked..
heck - I was going to make a crock pot dinner - had everything out to do it - went upstairs - laid down and everything was still on the counter!! LOL - nothing made it into the crock pot!!! :-)
Hey G - congrats on 83....
88 - my little brothers football number!!!
87 was the older brother's number - I always forget that..
cpgem - did you go back to work??
now my computer is going to be VERY slow
so, i'll have to do this in slow motion..
LOL - where is HODI
IBB?
Tina
Zona
come on
Hello
100
100
100
YES - I still have it!!!
OH my - it's been awhile!!
Hey, IBB - sorry, didn't mean to run you over!!!
as she chuckles to herself!!!
what colors of ribbon did you get today?
Too funny... didn't even read.. just logged on and it was at 90...
and then 98... then101...
Darn you MEK...
Congrats on 100!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, IBB!! :-)
all colors... set of purple... but some pinks greens and blues... plaids.. they are really pretty...
my 12x12 paper keeper I got today is already full of ribbon... that doesn't make any sense...
IBB - how fun - I enabled a lady on the ribbon aisle today - she said - oh, this is only fifty cents, that won't break the budget and I said - "OH, but they are 5 for a dollar" - and she bought MORE!!! I LOVE to do that to others!!!
IBB - did you get one of those "Iris" paper keepers
I'm off to watch TIGER finish his round of golf today!! (not doing so well!! )
:-(
yup IRIS scrapbook central...they were 50% off..
Hoping Tiger does better...
BonO: Here's something that makes me say "Hmmmmm"....
Question: Name of the movie "where the couple stops at a service station, wife is kidnapped, search drama ensues."
Answer: Breakdown
????
LOL!
Tinka: The article did mention the stimulation factor, and it also mentioned a connection between the light from the computer screen and melatonin level.
Whabby and MEK: Thanks!
Lovey: Welcome back!
Have a wonderful evening, Owls!
IBB~~~
**whispers**
don't talk to mek about ribbon.....
Well owls I have layed on my fine feathered ass all day and never once fell asleep!! I just can't nap!
Still exhausted. I just don't get it.
I had to come up and check the cracktop and see how you all were doing.
Tinka have fun at your party!
Back to my owl potato ways for now.
Just so you guys know....
I'm a Pageant Dork and will be spending the evening watching the Miss USA Pageant! Ghost Whisperer will have to be dvr'd!
So I an off to the Miss USA website to pick my top 15 and see how I do! By the way....Miss WA is gorgeous, but I don't like her publicity photo. I think it makes her look harsh and kinda Masochistic! But if you look through her other photos, and her candid photos she's really pretty.
Later! Maybe I'll come back and post my Top 15!
Lynn D - lol at your "fine feathered ass" - sorry you are still tired..
Barb - sssshhhhhhhhh, I got MORE ribbon today!!! (don't tell anybody)!!! AND - I love that you are a pageant dork - I usually just watch the end!! :-)
Amicus - your welcome - LOL
TIGER is done for the day - oh, how I LOVE watching him play golf!!
cpgem - your baked potato is done!!
120
just because
121 just so MEK can be on top!
122 to make a "sandwich" LOL
OK.....I did my research and here are my Top 15....I know you guys care!!!
In no particular order:
Washington
Missouri
Oklahoma
Tennessee
Arizona
Delaware
Florida
Indiana
Louisiana
Kansas
Maryland
Pennsylvania
S Carolina
Utah
W Virginia
I "think" my Top 5 are:
Oklahoma
Missouri
Tennesse
Pennsylvania
Washington
It's kinda hard to pick without seeing the girls in action and then hearing their interviews and stuff.
We'll see!
No Hawaii?? My oh my...
WOW - I have never had a turtle sandwich before!! LOL
;-)
Barb - WHAT, no Colorado!! I know, I know, you picked AZ...
Temps here for next week are not supposed to be as hot as they once were - SO, we might not hit 100 yet!!!
:-)
I just made myself some coffee because I'm tired but it's too late for a nap. Usually, naps don't work that well for me, anyway. I don't know if it's because I sleep too deep or what, but I usually feel drugged after waking up from a nap.
Dinnertime. YAY for barbecue season!!
Amicus: Here's something that makes me say "Hmmmmm"....
Question: Why did I always think you were the sweetest of owls?? Then you have to go and LAUGH OUT LOUD at your Auntie Owl.
Answer: Because that was freakin' funny!!!!! LOL!
See, it's all very logical. The part I had wrong, that kept me from getting the title, was I FORGOT that they had a 'BREAKDOWN' and never made it to the service station.......For your punishment for being so 'mean' I hope you watch it and have nightmares or can't sleep :D~ Thanks to those kinder, gentler Owl cousins who knew the title and were willing to help. Where were you while I was losing sleep trying to remember it? LOL indeed!!
See, now we're back on TOTD......
MEK~~Thought of you while watching Tiger....
JODI~~Thought of you when seeing a Wisconsin dairy farm/cheese factory on the news.....
TINA~~Thought of you with Delta possible merger news....
K'GIRL~~Thought of you when the temp hit 69 today ;D~
Amicus - I am interested. What was the connection between the stimulation and the melatonin level?
Dianne in Denver - OH these d'back announcers are making me SICK - they aren't talking about OUR Rockies very nicely!!!
Bono - getting back on Topic - and yesterday's blog also - another favorite movie of mine that I can watch OVER and OVER again is:
While you were Sleeping!!! I just LOVE that movie!!
Bono - Tiger finished awhile back - :-)
and, we saw that same news thing about cows - cheese and using their crap for energy!! ppeewww!!!
Bono - we are watching baseball now!! :-)
Hey all
mek
Thank You, my baked potato was delish, and cooked just right...
Sorry I got confused, did not realize you were making soup. I prefer the baked potato tho...
barbwa
I am not into pageant's however you do make it sound interesting...
I just got done watching "The Break Up" I really like that movie. And the ending kinda breaks you up...
MEK~~Good one...a TOTD two-fer!
(and I think the cow-poop energy to run the business AND provide electricity for neighbors is fantastic!!)
TINKA~~Are you positive you want Amicus to tell you about stimulation?? She's kinda frisky today!
CAROL~~ Your great TOTD made me think of a possible related topic for another day-----Recurring Dreams. I bet we all have them. It'd be fun to hear about them, and share dream analysis.
VIG~~I finally finished it!!!
bon
Great idea for a daily blog, I actually thought about that, however I could not write it when I tried.
Any takers?
k peeps help me make up my mind. I made putenesca last night for dinner but had it for lunch today so I don't want any more of that!
Which would you prefer?
Chicken salad with fresh dill, cukes, onion and grapes on french bread OR grilled sourdough sandwiches with black forest ham and provolone?
Or I could always have a bowl of suger pops.....lmao
MEK~~If you didn't like cow-poop energy, you probably don't want to know about the $30 a cup cat-poop coffee that was just on our local news. If I were Joey, I'd rename this but....

All I can say is "W*T*C ?"
Bono - I didn't, not like, the cow poop - I just found it extremely interesting.. AND, it a good thing that I DON'T drink coffee!! LOL
Ghost Whisper is on - we will be switching between baseball and it!
Turtle Did your dish have anchovies? If so, I would stay away from salty tonight and go with the chicken salad. :)
nope no more lil fishies. Turtle is allergic to fish and shellfish....
I think I am leaning towards the chicken salad, but ill have to stop at the store for some grapes...
Off to the store and home. Log back on in a bit.
