If you want simplicity, whenever will do it. Every point in time is covered in one shot.

See that's a good one and way more manageable than mornoonevenight or dawrismornmidnoonevedusnilight :)

They are after me, the communist toothy chikens from Betelgeuse want my teeth fillings to fuel their state-planned economy. And my skin for their wardrobe.

No I'm not paranoid. Why would you say that? You're one of them aren't you? I'll report you to friend computer!

Good evening, lovely thread!

I hope you are all doing well?

It seems I am still having some problems with my sleeping so I figured I would get to work on some notes for a few talks me and my partner have been asked to do on a few topics at a centre for young ladies who are not having the best of luck in their young lives. Plus I get to chat to you lovely people as well, which is always nice.

*hugs, waves, and milkshakes. Not handshakes, milkshakes.* :-)


"Hello back, polite internet weirdo person". I was told to say that to you in return for your "hey there" message. :-)

Good evening. =)

That's kind of you both to do. Hopefully it can do some good, help some people in bad places out.

Response as follows - "Only occasionally polite, I like to keep things interesting. ;)" (And yes, D, it's totally up to you to include everything in that statement, all the way down to the eyewink.) -laughs-

Good evening. *big hug with some cookies*
Going okay here. Making some chocolate chip cookies.
Sorry the sleep trouble is bothering you again. *slips some Ativan into one of the cookies*

Good evening.

We often try to help now and then. In fact I am still missing being able to do my volunteering at the childrens hospice like we used to every month. Although the kids did make me the most wonderful get well soon card that made me tear up so much due to their kind words. This one I am making notes for now is for abused women, well girls really. They are aged 16-19 and have not been having the nicest of times. The centre they are at helps them recover, get support, and hopefully get them back on their feet. It is a really nice place, and one that has helped a lot of ladies. A friend of ours works there and asked me and my partner to give a few talks and asked if we would share a few private things with them as some of them are in there due to abuse over their sexuality and a few other things. So hopefully we can help a few people. But the main talk is just about what we do for work and things like that, just to get them ready for being adults and things, so it is mostly just a casual talk and some question and answer things. But a few of the other topics are a little more intense.

Hey, I will include the eyewink, but I might say it was a twitch. :-)

How are you, is the day being nice to you so far?

I was actually thinking of baking some cookies tomorrow. Chocolate chip with cranberry in fact. Or raspberry, i have not decided. Maybe I will be a rebel and use Snozzberries. :-)

I will be okay, I am a little annoyed at myself for messing my sleep up again, I was starting to get back to normal. But there are a few things going on that are quite big and could effect a few things, and I think they are playing on my mind a little which is not helping. But nothing to worry about.

*big hug while eating lots of cookies*

That sounds like a great place dedicated to dealing with a lot of horrible shit...

-laughs- If you say that, be prepared for your partner asking why in the world someone online felt the need to mention a facial tic in the course of normal conversation.

Still can't complain here. Feels like my cold's trying to come back, but I'll drown it in vitamins. (And soda.) No big thing.
Beyond that, it's figuring out how to use the pressure cooker, since my roommate didn't want to spend hours cooking corned beef and cabbage in a pot on the stove.

Yummy ô__ô ... but there is no such things as Snozzberries >:-O

Maybe you need an entirely new schedule. Go to bed at 5pm and wake up at midnight. It's been doing wonders for me. And look at how amazingly happy and successful I a- ......... :-| ....On second thought, you'd better stick to your regular schedule ^^
Really though, that sucks. Few things annoy me more than not being able to sleep. Hopefully these things won't bother you too much longer.
*big sleep-inducing hug*

She is used to me mixing with weird people - she has met my family. :-)

That can sometimes happen with viruses, kind of a last ditch attempt to get back at you. I hope it won't come back any time soon. And hopefully you won't blow up the pressure cooker. :-)

It'll be fine. If it gets too annoying, I'll just dose myself with vitamin C 6 times a day. That usually kicks the crap out of everything.

-laughs- I'm fairly certain the pressure cooker won't explode. It's electric, pre-set times and what-not. I'd have to actively go out of my way to detonate the thing, and I don't want to deal with clean-up, so that's not happening.

Are you saying Roald Dahl was lying? o_O

But if I go to bed at 5pm I miss the whole evening with my partner. :-(

Thank you. I am sure things will be okay, one of the bigger things is actually good, but also worrying as hell as well.

*big hug*

That is good to hear.

You are no fun, I was picturing you using a home made pressure cooker cobbled together with cooking equipment that was shaking and steaming like it was about to explode. :-)

No, but that Mr Wonka needs to stop practicing witchcraft!! >:-|
That's the big problem with going to sleep in the afternoon - nobody else does it :-p I definitely wouldn't recommend it in your case. I'd hate for you to miss that :-)
*hug*

I like that image, but I'll be honest with you. If such an item existed around here, I'd make certain I was nowhere near it. With my luck, using that device could only end one way - me in a hospital with half a cooker lid lodged in my skull.

You know how Moomins get after they have too much chocolate. :-)

I am sure in a while I will have it back to normal, even if it results in my body just deciding to make me sleep for a whole day or so, that seemed to help before.

*big hug*

And we would not want that. So okay, use your new fangled electric one with all those safety features. :-)
