Scarab Sages

2 days with out sleep and I'm stuck at work posting like crazy just to have somthing to do. I can't sleep now even if I could and too wired to to do payroll. I crave a cup of coffee to wake me up but then I'll be up for another 24 hours. The same goes for sugar so I'm stuck with water. Good thing I have a supply of bottled water because Abq water tastes like a chemical tolet.

Sorry to hear that. Have you tried any prescription meds?

I've got some Ambien but I've already gone over the prescribed dosage and I don't want to risk getting hooked.

Bummer. I just quit caffine because I was running into the same problem. It's been hard, but I am sleeping better.

Yeah, I have insomnia on occasion as well. Mine's caused by asthma inhalers. Albuterol and other asthma inhalers are legalized Speed.

I would recommend going and seeing Australia. Watch the fist hour and a half, sleep through the next hour, and wake up for the last 15 minutes. Then you will have had a little sleep at least.

Overall, was it a decent movie?

Titanic has the same effect also.

It's not a chronic condition but every few months it's no sleep for me.
The worst was when I was living in Dallas working as a courier. I had about 5 hours sleep in 4 days. On the 4th day I drove from downtown Dallas to south Fort Worth, picked up some medical supplies and took them to Plano and then returned to the dispatch office in Dallas. It was a round trip of over 200 miles that I have no memory of. The first memory I have is sitting in my car at the dispatch office looking at the signed manifest.

Yes, overall it was a good movie. Take a girl with you and you are almost certain to get lucky later.
