The Long Count Calendar (Sally has conquored Insomnia)

[Félix]

That might work.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

This is making me feel anxious FOR Sally. Don't listen to them, Sally! You haven't even tried Excedrin PM yet!

[Félix]

But Jackie. The lipstick!

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Yes, Larry? What about the lipstick?

[Félix]

I don't really know. I'm just winging it here. Hoping for a response.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

You CAN use lipstick as rouge in a pinch, you just need to blend it really well.

Is that what you were trying to remember, Larry?

[Félix]

Yes, perhaps. Apple cheeks give the illusion of health. I don't think Sally needs that, though.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

No, not if she's going for depression. That would just be confusing.

[Félix]

Yeah -- isn't it belladonna women used to take to whiten their skin? Stay out of the sun, Sally.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

I thought belladonna dilated the pupils, which mimics the effect of infatuation.

[Félix]

We always used THC for that. Good for the appetite.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

So I've heard. :D

[Lori]

Watch out for that Benadryl! Has the complete opposite effect on me.

Matrix acid? This sounds serious. Does that haven anything to do with the thread with the bubbles floating in the purdy colors?

Oh malic is it. Never heard of it, hmmmm. I think it's a trap Sally!

[Cosmic Sher]

Oh yea, and Belladonna would be much better in a pinch. Actually, take more than that you'd definitely be out... for an interminable amount of time.

Double, double toil and trouble... (complete with wickedly witchie laugh).

[Lori]

Just googled malic acid. I'd never heard of it, Sherrie. Altho one site says don't take if you are pregnant. Sally?

[Cosmic Sher]

My naturopath doc put me on it for fibromyalgia symptoms, which also has many sleep related issues. I know it's related to Magnesium, but I can't remember exactly why it's supposed to work other than it helps to relax the muscles. I have been on it in high doses for about 6 months, and then went off for about 2 and had horrible sleep during that time. Now I'm back on and it's helping more than just about anything.

Sally, if you are keyed up & can't quite your mind & anxious... etc. maybe the yoga/meditation might be the ticket. Settle down with a good cup of chammomile and focus on breathing. Sometimes it's just about letting go of everything you have built up during the day and finding that quiet within.

Yea, okay... now I'm impersonating a Zen Master (puhshaw!). But, the theory is good. :)

[Kevin]

for most guys sex is a natural sleep potion. we go into a coma right afterwards

::in his best buddhist voice, whatever that is::

Ah yes, the secret is with Sweeter

Can't hurt, might help and always worth the effort.

[RandomAnthony]

Sweeter can thank us later.

[Sandy]

Sally wrote: "Are you insinuating that I should work on developing some depression, Sandy? Should I return to my classroom with my fly down again and perhaps smear some lipstick on my cheek?"

Whatever floats your boat. If doing those things will make you sleepy, then give it a try. I hasten to say, although chronically depressed for years, I have always been zipped up, and my lipstick has always been stuck to my lips while at work

[Félix]

It manifests differently for each of us Sandy.

[Sally, la reina]

yes - thanks Larry. I'm trying to say that depression results in me coming unglued. I appear in public VERY discombobulated during periods of depression.

[Félix]

I get that.

[Kevin]

i just like this word discombobulated

[trivialchemy]

I always thought Sweeter was Sally's dog... Maybe he/she is? I don't mean to judge.

[Félix]

I can't type I'm laughing so hard.

[Sally, la reina]

NO! Arch! not my DOG! Isaiah...








oh, Isaiah.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!

[Félix]

All I can think of to ask is, "Sweeter than what?"

[trivialchemy]

Innocent mistake, innocent mistake!

[Félix]

Absolutely.

[Cosmic Sher]

Um, who is Sweeter?

[trivialchemy]

Sherrie, it's Sally's gerbil.

[RandomAnthony]

Or that guy she stalks. I think she photoshops pics of him into pics that make the two of them appear together.

[Sally, la reina]

OMG you guys. >:( Can you see the displeasure in my eyebrows?


This is sweeter:

[image error]


I started referring to him on here as that b/c he hadn't joined yet and I didn't want to invade his privacy and I'm not a fan of the word "hubby."

[Félix]

Beautiful shot.

[RandomAnthony]

I hate the word hubby.

[Félix]

Yeah it's pretty lame.

[Sally, la reina]

If I have to I might resort to "hub-sand" but it is rare.

[Félix]

As it should be.

[Cosmic Sher]

That is a gorgeous pic. (lightbulb goes on) Gotcha, Sweeter!

What's wrong with hubby? It's nicer than many, many other things I call him. And if I refer to mine as those things here, y'all might get the wrong idea & think I'm married to a psycho. (well, aside from the fact that he is and I love that about him)

Give me another word...

[[deleted user]]

Studly always catches my attention.

I just don't listen to any of the sarcasm attached to it.

[Cosmic Sher]

Uh Jim, what sarcasm could that possibly be? :)

[Félix]

Oh, Jim.

[[deleted user]]

Good point, I'm sure none was ever intended. ;-).

[Lori]

Yeah, until I encountered previous opposition here on GR to the word hubby I always used it. It's shorter than writing husband! In my profile I instead used the word partner, but I don't like that either.

Sherrie, you and I will have a mutiny, and use the word hubby.

HUBBY
HUBBY
HUBBY
HUBBY

Take that y'all!

[Sally, la reina]

*stumbles toward eyewash station*

[Kevin]

i'm sure i am not a hubby. not sure what she calls me but i am sure it is not hubby

[Lori]

Well find out! I can use a different word.

Hey, I'm not such an old dog that I can't learn new tricks.

[Sally, la reina]

"gloomy gus" is the preferred nomenclature.
