I agree. I think he should be BURNED AT THE STAKE. Actually I think that's too nice, but I'm too tired to be creative.

yes, but if we tried to burn Murphey at the stake, Murphey's law states that it would rain, and we would just get wet.

Damn...you're right....build a shelter...wait then it would fall....ohhhh doomed....doomed.

Dammit. There's gotta be something we can do to that asshole. Why is that murphy's law never works against murphy?

Well, i have it on good authority that Murphey is in the fifth level of the Inferno....but of course he is a masochist, so he is having a ball!

How do you figure he's a masochist? I always thought of his as a sadist, making drunk assholes call me in the middle of the night. On the other hand, if I ever get my hands on him (Murphy, not the drunk asshole) . . . . so maybe he is a masochist.

 

[snowy ciara]

I never figured him for a sadist or a masochist. Just some poor sap who couldn't catch a break.

Did i ever tell you that it took me a week to get your avatar...

Is everyone either s or m?

 

[Gil_T2]

And what a lovely naughty ass you have m'dear (to bandit)

MMMM my loverly sub does have a fantastic ass but it's 5.12 am here & I'm still wide awake even after BANDIT & I had a session earlier to try to encourage sleep, this is the 3rd night in a row with so very little sleep i fear a crash out soon where I just go off.

Nope, you didn't. It's pretty cool, though. I blame the original MASH movie poster, that had the legs under the army helmet.

And I don't think everyone is either an s or an m. Kinda like, I suppose that since I'm attracted to ladies and gentleman I'm bisexual, but I've always avoided that label; I'm just sexual.

And in a random bit of on-topicness, I did the insomnia thing last night too. I was up til about 630 this morning, then I slept through 2 and half classes. A whopping almost 3 hours of dreams about crawdads and Antiques Roadshow. I gotta get some normal sleep soon..

 

[rosco rathbone]

I once appeared on the Antiques Roadshow because I am something of an authority on wizard and gnome figurines and collectible items.

 

[snowy ciara]

How absolutely awesomely cool.. I'm sitting here, wracking my brains to try to remember it, but I think I may not have seen it. I've become addicted to the show in the last year or so. However, my mum has been known to tape them cause she likes them too. I'll have to call her tonight to see if she has that one.

I can just hear the convo allready... "Hey mum, do you have a tape of AR that has a segment on collectable wizard and gnome figures? There's this Top I know who was on that one. Yeah mum, he's really bizarre and unusual and lecherous but I find him perve-worthy nonetheless... He's a dirty old man in training, I think... "

I had a suit and tie and the whole thing. I looked semi-respectable. They had me authenticate a 1920 garden gnome; fetched a pretty penny at auction. They edited a lot of it though.

 

[Gil_T2]

7am now here & I'm still awake & just know that later when I need to go out I'll want to sleep
all i want is just to be able to sleep at night like normal ppl as I can't keep waking BANDIT to keep me company.

 

[arctic-stranger]

Himself saw that eppy, and remembers you a little bit. And no, le snow imp, he didn't tape it for me.

Isn't it narclepsia (sp??) basically difficulty staying awake. Or "hell"...it all depends...

narcolepsy is the condition of falling asleep at random moments, pretty much against your will. i thought of that, except that it is usually brief moments.

 

[esclave_PP]

I think I have insomnia induced narcolepsy -- however, it only seems to happen on the couch or my head getting indented by keyboard keys. Hm

 

[graceanne]

3:00 and I'm WIDE AWAKE. I think I must be being punished for sleeping good last night. *sigh* Oh, well.

 

[arctic-stranger]

three nights ago i actually slept through the night...

Better living through chemstry -- it was an ambien night

Programme on how to get to sleep on BBC1 last night.

Brief Overview

Have a routine of winding down.
Have some 'me' time.
Avoid all caffeine products
Avoid alchohol and certain foods ie cheese.
Experiement and work out what foods aid or hinder your sleep.
There is no scientific evidence to say milky drinks work other than as a personal comfort or placebo effect.
Get up at same time every day even on days off.
No napping during the day.
Keep a sleep dieary and note all changes and improvements.
Analyse diary to and identify what works best for a good nights sleep.
Check lack of sleep is not due to medical condition ie snoring or sleep apnea

There was nothing earth shattering in the programme but the volunteers who followed the basics did see some improvement.

My maiden names was Murphy.... and that law definately worked against me, but with a surname like that I had to marry.

Guess what this dumb bimbo changed it to......Walton


Alltogether now Johnboyyyyyyyyy

I know it was stupid thats why I got married a second time (at least thats my excuse for marrying another vanilla man )

Brief Overview

I've been de-caffed for a month now as of today, with the exception of my chocolate addiction. YAY ME!!!!!! But the insomnia's gotten worse. And I was drinking so much caffeine that there should have been a difference of some sort.

 

[Mist S]

ok, I am very bored. I usually go to bed about 12:30 every night, go straight to sleep and get up at 6 for work. Now, i have to stay up all night and I have realized that there is Nothing to do at this time of night! How depressing.
