That's all I wanted to say. I'm bored and just want to hang out a little and you all are sleepyheads! Who says you can't survive on 5 hours of sleep a night? Posted by pfresh85 (Member # 8085) on :
I'm still up, but only for a little while longer. I try and get 7 hours of sleep at least. If you get less than 7 (or more than like 9), it's not healthy for you (particularly for your heart).

I hate people who don't have to get up (relatively) early. I normally have to get up around 6:30-6:45 in order to get to school on time. I wish the whole schedule could be shifted forward about 3 hours, but they can't do that because of sports practices.
Stupid sports. Posted by Treason (Member # 7587) on :
I agree that sports are stoopid.
Did you all ever hear about that guy who went like, 1 year without sleep? (I think it was something like that, maybe more) I think I'll go google it and see if I can't find ya a story. Brb

Woah! Nevermind it was 20!! Here-(who knows if it's real)
KOSZER (WSAP) - According to his physicians, 63 years old Nestor Fedorczuk from the Volhynian village Koszer (near Kowel) is as healthy as a man of his age can possibly be. Nevertheless, he has not slept for more than two decades and is far from happy about it.
He cannot remember the exact year, but the last time Nestor ever slept was sometime at the beginning of the 1980s. It was nothing but a short nap. Since that moment, he has never been able to doze off for longer than a few seconds. "I used to read the minutes of boring Sejm meetings in the hope they would help me fall asleep", Nestor explains. "But as soon as I felt my eyes getting droopy and put the paper aside, I would find myself wide awake again."
Scientists have not yet been able to find a satisfactory explanation for the phenomenon. All therapies and treatments that were meant to put Fedorczuk to sleep have failed. According to his personal doctor, Mordechaj Koszel, he feels good, has no pain whatsoever, is not overly exhausted, and is definitely not sick: "Medically speaking, Nestor is a perfectly healthy man. He is just unable to fall asleep, that's all." Fedorczuk's insomnia may have been caused by earlier diseases, but it is impossible to find out which.
"This has been going on for over twenty years now and I've simply gotten used to it", the insurance broker says. "Now, when everyone else sleeps, I get stuck into a good book. But I have read my entire library already three times now, and I am getting tired of it."

In high school, I was always up at 5:15. That sucked, very much. It meant I tried to get to bed by 11 or 11:30, although there were some days where I was so stressed I got no sleep. High school definitely wasn't healthy for me. College has been better. I can go to bed at 1 or 1:30 and still pull in a good 7 hours of sleep. It's good stuff.
Posted by CaySedai (Member # 6459) on :
I stay up too late - and make up for it by taking a 2-3 hour nap after my kids go to school. I didn't get my nap today (Monday - since I'm still up, it's still Monday to me).
I will definitely be taking a nap tomorrow (technically today - see previous paragraph).
Am I incoherent enough? I could stay up later if necessary. Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
I'm usually up until 1:30 or even 3. No one else is usually up, is all.

Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :
That they're really expensive.
We saw some the other day that were $270 and up. But then the same store had saris for $180 and up. In a country where saris usually cost $50 for really really nice ones.
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Well.
Why don't you shop somewhere less expensive?
Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :
*laughs* Yeah, probably. We'll have to see what we can find. It's just that he'd look so hot in a kurta, and a western suit would just . . . not. (I'm already starting to drool. How sad! )
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Yeah. I love men in kilts, and I wish my husband had the knees for one.
Alas, he does not. But at least he looks like a totally hot model in a nice suit (of which my father bought him three for his last birthday.)

You didn't give it chocolates. Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
I figure if you've got the legs for one, you've got the legs for the other. It's just the coloring that matters which one you wear.
Sterling, take some Advil, put your ankle up, and ice it.
Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :
But he's so brown, kq, and with his long bushy beard and his long curly hair (which is now only down to his shoulders - had to cut it for his parents), he looks more like a fundamental Islamic terrorist, and that's what would make him look silly in a kilt. But a kurta - yowsa! Move over, Saif Ali Khan and Shahrukh Khan!
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
That's what I said. Jeff would look silly in a kurta. Fahim would look silly in a kilt. But get the right coloring going with the right article of clothing, and there you are.
Except for Jeff's legs. Alas.
Posted by Sterling (Member # 8096) on :
Took some advil. I'm familiar with the RICE treatment for such things (rest-ice-compression-elevation), but I don't see any handy way to perform said treatment where I normally sleep, unfortunately. I may at least be able to ice it. Wouldn't my wife be surprised to find my feet were colder than hers in the morning!
Thanks, ketchupqueen.
How do I feed my ankle chocolates, quid? Or do I just offer them, on the premise that it's the thought that counts? Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Chocolates are like advil. You take them orally. Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :
Oh! But a kurta doesn't show off legs. He'd still wear pants beneath it, so there's no benefit of good looking legs. That's why I misunderstood.
On the other hand, I still get to enjoy his legs the rest of the time. Especially when he wears his sarong.
Sterling, silly boy, you sacrifice them to the gods of sore ankles into the sacrificial altar of your tongue. Enjoy on the way down!
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
I know, quid. But you have to have the legs anyway. Trust me on this one. It's a body shape thing.
He wears a sarong? Awesome!

Ice cream.
That is all.
Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :
You didn't know? Yeah, that's what he wears to bed and he doesn't change into real clothes until midmorning. And I buy him his sarongs. Yep, he's got great legs. *drools*

Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
I don't know exactly when I'm due yet. They gave me a date but I think it's wrong; I went back and looked at the calendar and I had one day of spotting the next month. Sometimes that's all I get anyway (I'm very irregular) and I was under the stress of a cross-country move. So I think I'm due sometime around the middle of May. But I need to get that confirmed. We're having trouble finding all the documents we need to qualify for Medi-Cal (the move again); I need to look in two more boxes, then call and see if they'll accept alternate, non-state-issued documentation and a notarized affadavit, because duplicates are going to take up to two months to get and I can't wait that long.

but it's only a visit, we won't be trying to get insurance...
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Knott's? It's okay. I like Disneyland much better, though. But the food is better at Knott's! And it's cheaper, which is worth something. Medieval Times is highly overrated-- and historically inaccurate-- and overpriced-- but little kids love it anyway. You'll have fun watching him have fun; don't expect to have as much yourself, but I'm sure you'll enjoy it anyway.
Next time you're out here, I know a whole bunch of cheaper things that are a lot of fun and more educational, too-- like Olviera Street, the San Fernando mission if you're into history (it's not the best of the missions to visit-- that would be La Purisima, we did them all one summer-- but it's the closest), and the Gene Autry Museum of Western Heritage, not to mention all kinds of others. King Tut is at LACMA right now, but it's a nightmare waiting in line, and you've got your weekend planned anyway. Anyway, next time you're out, we'd love to meet you and get together!

The food grosses me out, mostly. And even as a kid I noticed the historical inaccuracies, and quizzed my server about it (I was 10 at the time, the poor thing! *facepalm*) I did enjoy it, but when I went back at 15, I decided not to go again. Twice was enough.
