Imponderables - Add It Up by nvghostrider

On sleep(or lack of)
The trick is to turn the volume waaaay down, forcing you to concentrate on hearing, which distracts you, which allows your brain to stop thinking on the stuff keeping you awake, which allows you to fall asleep. my wife does that and she's a horrible insomniac. Or take a PM formula pain killer. That's what I do.

On becoming a new parent:
Having gone through it 4 times, the only thing you can do is not worry. Somehow it all works out, maybe because for 4 months you are sooooo sleep deprived you just do, and don't think. Yes babies are pricey, but just wait until you hold him? her? ( I can't remember if you told us, or not, or what the baby will be. Sorry!). You hold that little squalling sausage, and something just ..... happens, that makes it all right, and the stress go away, for a little while. Anyway, congrats again and good luck.

I had a cd of Violent Femmes Greatest, and had to sell it, one of my favo songs was Add It Up. *tear slides down cheek* Guess I'll have to go get it off a torrent. Then I could get all the albums! Yay!

Things are pretty damn good, MSB. How 'bout on your end?

I love sleepy people trying to stay awake. Like while watching a movie or something. They're all kinds of cute. That goes for the wee ones too. Well, the wee ones that aren't screaming because they're so tired.

It wasn't until recently that I could fall asleep with the TV on. When I was younger, I could stay awake with little incentive. My mom and bro would be sacked out the second the TV would come on, I'd be awake until the wee hours. Take after my dad, apparently. I'm the one you want doing the driving for an all night road trip. I WILL.NOT. fall asleep at the wheel.

Once I was stuck on a bus in heavy traffic, sitting next to a guy who looked like he had been awake all night.

He was sitting by the window, and every two minutes he would start to nod, slowly slump to the side, smack his head off the window, jerk awake and sit up straight trying to look like nothing had happened.

It was funny the first few times, but after 25 solid minutes it became pretty annoying.

ZEEK

Welcome back RugBug. You've been on vacation all this time!? Lucky! And I still contest that I'm not crazy. Further evidence I came up with is that there's a battery light on the dash that wasn't doing anything special. If the battery was the problem why didn't it flash like the like security key light did? Anyway not the point. The real point is you need to post more!

DTH...woohoo! Yes, that guy sounds annoying. I'll amend my statement to 'watching children and people I know trying to stay awake'.

Sadly, Zeek...I was only on vacation the week of New Year's. But I came back to a mountain of work. It's a foothill now, but promises to rise up to mountain size if I'm not careful.

'Course, I'm also slowing my computer down terribly by converting all my .wma files to whatever iTunes uses so I can put stuff on my new 80G iPod.

Took me weeks to decide which one I wanted and in a last minute fit of splurging, I went for the big sucker.

The 8G Nano just seemed too small for my massive music collection. I need to think of a name for the pod. It's all sleek and black and beautiful and promises hours of music fun. Next purchase is some amazing Bose speakers that dock the iPod. That should be sometime around the summer. Then I can get rid of the craptastic stereo I bought with the money from selling my first car. That thing has NEVER worked right.

Okay, back to work...

Well smack me upside the head. That's exactly what my brain was thinking. :D

and now my confusion at the signatures makes more sense. I kept scanning, seeing a Ghostrider thinking the post was NVG...but the tone was confusing.

My world once again has order.

Congrats to two very nice people. Have fun.

-They could stop all scheduled flights for some stupid reason.
-You could be trapped in a room with HYI.
-Your house could be destroyed.
-Your arm could fall off.
-You could accidentally send all the money in your bank account to a random telemarketer.
