I've been trying to figure what I need to do to sleep through the night. In desperation one night at 2 am, unable to sleep, I pulled out some sleep products I hadn't used in a while. One used to help, but no longer did so. The other never did seem to help. Guess what? The one that never helped made a difference! I now keep it next to my bed in case I wake up during the night.

Those who never have sleep issues just don't know how lucky they are!

I really don't how I am supposed to buy a home and still be able to eat?

You want to eat, too? Picky, picky, picky.

We have been visited by a bear twice in two days.

This is thanks to its having discovered the bird feeders. Nathan says it’s a young one — but not a cub, which is important — and he’ll be able to scare it off easily. (He’s an exterminator with some training in wildlife control, and has the proper noisemakers and other paraphernalia.)

Well, those skills will certainly come in handy.

Anti-bear vibes.

DR George those were a good number of similar and duplicate names you worked with.

When we moved into our condo 3 of our neighbos in our building were named Jim and 2 of those had wives with matching names.  One Jim moved away and the remaing wives have different names.

George's case is the most I've ever heard of.

In my life currently there's an Erik and a Daerick, a Mindy and a Mandy. (Two Mandys, actually.) I've gotten a bit tongue-tied once or twice.

I am glad something is finally working.

When it is really bad I feel the same as when I am suffering from server jet lag without the the reward of seeing new places. 

DR Jeanne do you also get nauseated along with the other symptoms?

Not from sleep issues. When my neck and shoulders cramp up badly it can make me a bit sick, but I learned long ago that I need to treat for cramping, not stomach issues.

I'm trying to make a joke out of your "server jet lag" typo. When the (computer) server is really slow you get jet lag. I'm sure someone here can do better than that.

Tonight we are going to watch Stan & Ollie.  DR Druxy I will mention your comments to Keith.  Did anyone else also see it?  If so did you find it sad?

The news has broken on Facebook, so I can share it here now:  Rob and Mary Linda closed on their first house today.  It's about 15 miles from us and a very good choice for them.  This photo makes it look like it's out in the country, which it was when it was built, but it's actually 5 minutes from lots of shopping & dining and right across the road from Voice of America Park.

Thank you, DR Vixmom!  We're very happy for them, of course, but will miss having upstairs housemates...

Very nice house DR GINNY!


Thanks, DR JRand!  It’s going to be even nicer before they move in because they’re redoing all the floors downstairs - new carpet in the living room and bedrooms, woodgrain laminate in kitchen, dining room, and hall.

When I did A Christmas Story back in December, there were two Meghans and one Megan.  One of the Meghans (the only one that I knew...she also was just in Bunbury) said that people could call her Meg.  I still called her Meghan.
