For all you Lounge sleep therapists who gave me advice yesterday...

[WilliamPitt]

I tool three ambien, four Benadryl, nineteen Tylenol PMs, seven caplets of melatonin, two hot baths, had sex nine times, drank a gallon of Bushmills, and slept like a baby.

Well, no. I took a hot bath and had no coffee. Slept like a baby, just woke up. Hopefully I can do it again tomorrow.

Thanks so much.

[ghostsofgiants]

1. Beating insomnia is a good feeling

Glad to hear you got to sleep.

[Jara sang]

2. Nine in a row?

I'm lucky if I get nine in a year.

[WilliamPitt]

10. I'm a machine

[VelmaD]

12. *swoon*

*thud*

[blue neen]

37. Someone get the smelling salts for VelmaD.

She's out cold.

[ewagner]

13. Nine?

That would be 18 years worth for me :rofl:

[youthere]

3. What, no chamomile tea?

[Lex]

17. LOL!

Good to hear Will got some zzzzz's, though!

[johnnie]

4. But...

You didn't rent a shitload of Little Rascals like I suggested. Oh well, at least you slept.

[MuseRider]

5. Jeeeeze WIll

you are lucky you did not end up taking a dirt nap!

Seriously, build on this. Use your rested mind to focus on relaxation, it will help some in the future.

Congrats, I hate insomnia.

[progmom]

6. Will, that's great.

A hot bath usually does it for me too. I am reallt glad for you. Insomnia sucks. I've been there.

[Hugin]

7. Yay!

Glad to hear it.

This is a war of attrition and we need you at your best.

:)

[Blue-Jay]

8. Try it again tonight, only with some weed added.

[TheProphetess]

9. Glad to hear it

and glad to see that your sense of humor is intact. :hi:

[VelmaD]

11. Glad to hear it. The question is...

was it a bubble bath? :) And if so, what flavor?

[yvr girl]

18. jinx

[VelmaD]

19. Hee...I bet he had bubbles.

And I bet they were girly scented too.

[yvr girl]

20. He is kind of a metrosexual

I'm sure he smells like lilacs this afternoon.

[VelmaD]

22. I was thinking maybe rasberries...

or peaches. Something fruity. ;)

I'm thinking maybe the next time I get SpiderMan bubblebath for my nephew I should send Will some too. Gotta pamper that masculine side.

[yvr girl]

27. I don't know. I think of Will, I think FLOWERS!

His apartment is pink and there is potpourri everywhere.

[VelmaD]

31. Well, I had heard that his furniture...

often puts people in mind of Georgia O'Keefe paintings. ;)

It's good to see he's so confident in his masculinity. *snort*

[bertha katzenengel]

14. Glad to hear it, Will. Best wishes for tonight.

(Keep Tylenol on hand for the no-caffeine headache.)

[yvr girl]

15. But did you have bubbles?

It's not REALLY a bath without bubbles.

Glad you got some rest. Do you still have 'snakes' in your stomach, or is that better too?

[xmas74]

41. And a bottle of wine.

You should always have a bottle of wine when you take a bubble bath. Great music is a must too. So are candles.

Now I want a darned bubble bath!

[Debi]

16. Yea!!!

SEX RULES....SEX RULES....SEX RULES....

Oh, you were joking? :blush:

[BigMcLargehuge]

21. glad to hear the DU lounge helped beat your insomnia...

wait, that didn't come out right.

:hi:

[In_The_Wind]

23. that's great news

good luck

[Shell Beau]

24. Good for you! Sometimes you can get so tired that you can't

sleep. And the more you dwell on it, the worse it gets. I'm glad you got your beauty sleep.

[DS1]

25. *psst* Lounge denizens - Blanket Party at Pitt's Place tomorrow

[VelmaD]

26. Can we short sheet him...

or maybe stick his hand in a bucket of warm water?

[DS1]

29. Well, I suppose we could take the less violent path

If you insist :eyes:

;-)

[yvr girl]

28. What is a blanket party?

[DS1]

30. Watch Full Metal Jacket

It's when you put a bar of soap in a sock or a pillow case, people hold a guy down in his bed by his blanket and everyone takes a whack. Or three.

[yvr girl]

33. Boys are silly

That is such a guy thing to do.

[Bouncy Ball]

44. It's not silly, it's incredibly painful.

I would imagine. Yikes. Just watch the movie and see what I mean. And they probably went easy on him.

[Bunny]

32. Well, that's good news. But if you'd just taken three more

melatonins, and had sex one more time (IN a hot bath), you could have easily gotten another hour or two of sleep. Just sayin'...

[hyphenate]

34. Glad to be of help

in some way. Happy Dreams! :)

[Willy Lee]

35. I think it is stress

and you just need a good masseuse!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

36. Hey, Will....

Good for you! I woke up this morning, thinking about you and hoping that you'd finally gotten a good night's sleep...I'm so pleased that you did...Hopefully now the sleepless chain is broken for good!


:toast:

[GalleryGod]

38. and that's from a retired Cally-FOUR-nee-ya Health Care Profesional

Pssssst!:shrug: Hey, Peg!
What did you do with all your old scrubs???:nuke: :nuke:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

39. Hi there, GalleryGod! Aren't you sweet!

I've been retired two whole weeks now, and am loving every gol-danged minute of it! Some days I have trouble deciding just what to do next, but I always figure it out...lol...

I finally got around to washing all those scrubs...I haven't really decided just what to do with them as yet...Any good ideas? They're in really good shape...A couple of them are still fairly new; just bought them in the last couple of years.

Do I sense some mixed feelings here? Could it be that you're just a tiny bit *um* jealous? But really, I'm VERY touched by your sweetness...


:pals:

:loveya:

[xmas74]

43. Donate the scrubs.

There are alot of CNA's out there who would love to have the scrubs. We both know that they can be pretty expensive, especially if someone is trying to live off of minimum wage.

[Midlodemocrat]

40. Drinking milk seems to help as well.

I don't know if that is proven, or just for me, but it works like a charm.

Or it could be that I routinely only get 3-4 hours of sleep a night and so when I do go to bed, I fall into a coma.

[Bouncy Ball]

42. NINE times?

NINE TIMES????

Wow. Color me impressed.

;-)

I don't know about all that, what do you call it, political stuff, journalism stuff you do, but NINE TIMES renders me speechless with awe.

[ScreamingMeemie]

45. No yoga?? I suggested yoga....

:( You could have skipped the rest of that stuff. ;)

[FizzFuzz]

46. I'm gullible

I was believing the whole thing, horrified, until I got to "had sex nine times"

LOLOL!!

[Wapsie B]

47. Well if you'd have done all those pills

and the booze you.....well nevermind. Glad you got some rest.

[BikeWriter]

48. Hey, I hope it works again tonight, Will.

[skygazer]

49. I'm so glad, Will

You must feel a lot better.

[KoKo]

50. Some folks have a "contrarian" reaction to Benadryl. This DU'er becomes

PSYCHO on Benadryl and can't take any antihistamines or decongestants that aren't Pseudophydrine based... Now, the "Meth" addicts are abusing the Pseudophedrine and so I'm screwed.

Many folks go Psycho on Benadryl...but it's not commonly known. :D

Nyquil used to work great...but I think they took the alcohol out...so it might not be so good anymore. Or Vicks Formular 44D...works for those of us who can't handle the Benadryl.
