11. Always use the non-slip mat.... no matter how icky it looks!
Or, skip the bath salts. This is my advice.

You get some sleep and hope you feel better when you wake up again. Did you take some painkiller to help you to be able to fall asleep?

19. Computer geek
But I guess "work" isn't really giving the full answer. I don't have to be in until about 8 but I get up early to exercise , still I've been waking up about an hour earlier than I need to even to allow for exercise time.

15. Combination of night owl and a woman
It's always about a woman. I don't eat. I don't sleep. I always get rejected if I ask and the harder I fight the feelings, the worse it seems to get. I should just learn to surrender and accept the rejection. Maybe make it my new goal in life to get rejected until I don't care any more. It might do me some good.

So, I'm naturally a night owl, but right now there is a woman I don't stand a chance with, so I'm trying to do something/anything to get her off my mind.

16. It is the same with men
last week I had problems with my bf ... I didn't eat (OK, I ate almost nothing), slept bad, woke up early ... when you are in love and are either rejected or are hurt .... I call it the "unintended diet".

I hope you get her out of your mind soon and can move on

20. Oh, I'm just having a low-grade freak-out.
This is a weird time for me emotionally and psychologically and it's...getting weirder. Enough that I'm losing a bit of sleep over it.

29. I fell in love with him
when I visited AirmensMom in May. He lives with her now. Couldn't take him with me back to Germany. AM says he is a monster by now. But a sweet one :)

26. Absolutely
Concerns the Battle East of Gettysburg. That occurred almost simultaneously with the romanticized "Pickett's Charge" .

Two of the Great Cavalry Megalomaniacs in American History, to wit,
Gen. George Armstrong Custer and Gen. J.E.B. Stuart fought the greatest cavalry battle in American history. If Custer doesn't stop Stuart; Stuart strikes the Union lines from the rear and........today there would be a Confederate States of America south of Maryland.

Fair warning: NEVER feed "Smart Puppy" food to the little bastard. I swear to DOG he sits around planning his next revenge for his lack of human adoration.

I sent it before I walked the dogs. Hmmm .... well, maybe my new internets need to get used to running. It's been so long, maybe they're sleepy. Seems fast enough from this end, though. :D

sooner or later.

I have so much to do now that I'm connected ... shop for stuff, pay bills, etc. But I'm glad to do it! I've been awake for over 3 hours and still haven't eaten breakfast! That'll be next. ;)

57. OK, I ate.
Harleydad fed the kitties as soon as he got up. Now that we have the internets here he didn't have to go to the other house to work today. :)

Sigh ... haven't had time to make more nutola for a while. Been eating frozen boxed thingies for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Too tired to even shop for real food. But soon we'll get back on a regular schedule and start making nutritious meals again. ;)

I do have to go, though, so I can get some things done. No rest for the wicked, as they say. I hope the rest of your day is good and you have a wonderful weekend! :loveya: :hug: :hi:

36. Dictates of biology, I guess
Wasn't up late (for a change) - I zonked out around 9:45 last night. We are getting up at 5:25 a.m. to eat something before beginning our daily Ramadan fast. Then we go back to sleep for about an hour.

47. I have a question
and I hope you don't find it inappropriate.

While Ramadan you aren't allowed to eat and drink during the day. I can understand the not eating part as a fast to clean yourself from the inside as well. But why aren't you allowed to drink? Isn't that really unhealthy? When you fast "normally" you are supposed to drink the whole day and drink a lot.

Could you please explain that to me?

60. Not at all
We suffer no ill effects from not drinking anything. We just load up with water in the morning when we eat. When we fast, we deny ourselves everything pleasurable, including sex (only daytime!) One purpose is to make us appreciate what we have and to understand what the less fortunate are experiencing when they go without food and water.

55. So far I avoided turning on the heat
but only because I dress warm (esp. in the evening) and cover underneath blankets. But still if I read on hand has to be in the cold and is turning blue :rofl:

I am hating with gas and I can decide how often and how warm. I have an apt with my own gas heater system. Love it.
