What are you thinking? Part 25

[Mind Driver]

Jimmy, taking 2 OTC Benadryl about an hour before bed worked really well for me...this was before I was prescribed a specific drug that both helps me sleep and stops nightmares.

Benadryl WIRES me out! Interesting how differently it affects people.

I suffer as well. Usually I just have to wait until that one day where my body just shuts down and I get some sleep. Sorry I can't help you, but just know that when your mind is racing at 2:47am...there's a good chance mine's doin' the same.

It was 3:11AM this morning......

Exactly! I buy RiteAid's version when pollen season hits...I just didn't think many people would know what I meant if I had written diphenhydramine. You're braver than I am, Cin.

I work with drugs, vitamins, and supplements all day long.
I know the brand names and generic names of everything on the market.
I have to. Customers will come to me for help instead of the pharmacist.

Wife may have a detached retina. She got an ocular migrane this time last year, and the headaches (not as bad) and light flashes are returning.
Got an out of town app't w/specialist tomorrow.
Oh- no exertion or bending over. I had to follow her on the morning dog walk and pick up poopies. Yuk.
LOL
Thank goodness daughter's home to help this summer.

Doesn't sound like alot of fun for you, big fella. ;-)

Hope she get's squared away and back to normal sooon, Gary.

You nutter.
Heard from the doc's office- she may be in there 2 hours. Possible laser treatment. Ouch.

I know it's scary. My brother had that 50 years ago. The doctors fixed him up. And the technology today is so far advanced compared to what is was all those years ago.

All my best to Mrs. Yadda.

Yep...sometimes it's 3:50am and your wondering, "should I just stay up now?"...and often I do. I don't like to take anything because sometimes, as you noted, it works in reverse. Some studies suggest that a lot of sleep aids, etc. turn into stimulants if you don't go out early. Anyway, I have to admit that I don't have insomnia quite as bad as I used to, but still, way too much.

Ny-Quil always seemed to do the trick, but that is not something you want to get into, although, admittedly, I'll take some if the following day is a "must have sleep" thing.

Was just walking through Paris Las Vegas and blaring through the speakers was "Heat of the Moment"...Ok, so it's not Yes, but it's nice to see all these people losing their money while Howe's solo is cutting through the din...almost surreal.

Yikes! I hope she'll be okay.
Sending hugs and positive thoughts her way.

I wonder what she's thinking............

I got one of those drone quadcopters with two (count 'em, 2) cameras. The thing can fly 150' up and take video or still images. It transmits its own wi-fi signal.

Been capturing some really cool vids. It's controlled with the iPhone and you can capture the feed to the phone or a USB stick plugged into the aircraft.

And to think... I used a slide rule in high school. Damn science and tech is amazing.

I can't believe my son is getting married in a week.
I miss him so much right now it's almost unbearable.
It's hard not seeing him everyday. I just can't get used to it.

Skype?

I know you are proud of him.

I feel your pain. I've been coming home to an empty house for six months now, and it hasn't gotten any easier. It stays very clean though!

Cin, I'm very sorry, sweetie...it must be terribly difficult for you. {{{{{{Cin}}}}}}

Just completed our annual "walking tour" of the historic downtown district.
Hours of research and prep paid off.
Not as big a crowd this time, but it was very informative and we all had fun.
Even wife/daughter showed up!

[PhaseDance]

Can't we all get along?

[Mind Driver]

Can't we all get along?

Sad news indeed.

May he rest...

Monday. I only have 104 more of them before I retire.
