What was the inspiration?

A couple of different sources.

 

First, it was one of several suggestions that tim sent me this morning. It immediately popped out to me.

Second, it represents how I feel about my relationships with several people here on GA.

Third, your story. Reading it reminded me about all the stuff I was into as a Teen, my ancestry, and an Ex that I wish would have progressed more than two weeks.

I'm glad tim sent you some good suggestions.  I had given your request for input some thought, but decided I didn't know you well enough to come up with a good idea.  I think it is an excellent choice based on everything I know about you.

Perfect, just perfect...  

 

And in case, I’m not clear, I’m referring to those two wonderful words below your name.

Doing pretty well.

School work break right now. Reading these chapters, and working on my research paper.

Handwriting is starting to rough, as my hand is starting to cramp up.

Thankfully my day is finally over.  All I want is a shower and a date with my pillow.

 

Point of reference, scatter brain mom should NOT be in charge of the family schedule.

Lightning vs Islanders are a go!

 

It's Military Appreciation Night for the Lightning. We just had a 100-years-old vet sing the National Anthem.

They are auctioning off the jerseys that the Lightning wore for warm-ups, which are the Camo ones, with the Lightning symbols.

@BHopper2 Sweet, I like it. And it didn’t even lead me to the gutter like my avi did you..🤪

[Defiance19]

The oddest thing just happened.  The power went off on my block. 

 

Pro - we don’t have to see the Christmas lights my neighbor has on. I kid you not!!

 

Con- don’t know how long it will be out.

Good night everyone...

I need a cure for this insomnia. I'm going on three hours of sleep in 48 hours. I thought I was finally over it, but I quit taking my medicine and BAM, it's back! 

[Mikiesboy]

Not so sure this is good advice for everyone ... it isn't for me

 

[Mikiesboy]

Never heard of this, or the word before:

 

boustrophedon    noun | boo-struh-FEE-dahn

Definition

: the writing of alternate lines in opposite directions (as from left to right and from right to left)

 

Before the standardization of writing from left to right, ancient Greek inscribers once used a style called boustrophedon, a word meaning literally "turning like oxen in plowing." When they came to the end of a line, the ancient Greeks simply started the next line immediately below the last letter, writing the letters and words in the opposite direction, and thus following the analogy of oxen plowing left to right, then right to left. Reverse boustrophedon writing has also been found in which the inscribers turned the document 180 degrees before starting a new line so that the words are always read left to right with every half turn. The word boustrophedon itself is formed from the Greek word for the ox or cow, bous, and the verb strephein, which means "to turn."

I drink sleepytime tea (Celestial Seasonings) with raw honey, while others here drink something called Natural Calm. Twinnings makes a nighttime tea as well, but it was sold out (a good sign?), so I haven’t tried it yet.  Also, despite “experts” saying sleeping in a cool room is good for you, I find a warm room is far better - at least in my case it is.

Natural Calm.. even the night Michael fetched me and i wasn't in a good place. He made my regular drink and we talked a bit and then i was just gone till morning. Usually i'd been up fretting about everything.  Cool room... with a nice duvet.. hot husband doesn't hurt either.

All that that you’ve just said works, too.

But but.... I'm ashamed to say this:

 

I hate tea

no need to be ashamed.. you don't like it.. that's cool.  i know you take meds for various things ... you could ask your Doc about Natural Calm ... its a magnesium supplement.  i take it now ... and sleep every single night. and i feel much better.. a few others on here have started to use it also.  Something to look into as a natural option.

That’s quite all right, Lacey. Pardon the pun, but...

 

Spoiler

tea is not everyone’s cup of tea. Sorry, it came to me in a flash and I couldn’t resist (my brain is triggered that way )

I'm not a huge Tea Drinker either. Natural Calm is more of a Fizzy Drink, that turns into more of a flavored water. Raspberry-Lemon flavored.

Just one thing to mention, you may end up with some Vivid Dreams. Mac said his' dream was caterpillars crawling on him, while he was talking on the phone, but he wasn't freaking out. Mine... was different, and very close to a wet dream.
