OK...It's3:15a.m. on the East Coast and I'm still up

[Itascapark]

Who else can't sleep?

[madmax]

1. wide awake here, too

I haven't been able to sleep well since 12/12/00. And it's worse everyday.

[Itascapark]

4. hummm...

I was just thinking that...The Day the Earth Stood Still...then began to spin backwards?

[short bus president]

2. me.

my face is sunburned, and it hurts to lay my arm over my eyes like I usually do when I sleep.

[madmax]

6. get silk visors

:evilgrin:

[short bus president]

32. can I get the Lt. Col. Henry Blake camo version?

he's always been sort of a hero of mine...

[Itascapark]

7. Where are you, short bus?

Just curious.

[short bus president]

17. Chapel Hill(ish), NC

The People's Republic, that is.

[madmax]

25. Hey Short Bus

I know you had to give up a lot of post counts to change your handle but, I love your new nick and the pic. It always gets a chuckle. Thanks :)

[short bus president]

29. thanks max

what I didn't take into account is that I haven't donated as shortbus yet, so I lack the "star power" of whatabildeberger. Soon as I get a paycheck, Skinner...

:smoke:

[madmax]

31. You always have star power, sweetie

:)

[Lady Freedom]

11. Poor guy!

:(

[short bus president]

21. poor pitiful me, is right!

did you see my earlier thread about that damn monster saw on wheels I was pushing around my yard today? I'm sunburned, blistered, soar, and cut up from those damned blackberry vines. But MAN it was FUN!

[madmax]

22. LOL

[Lady Freedom]

3. You can always talk to me?

[madmax]

8. why can't you sleep Lady Freedom

Bushwhacker keeping you up, too?

[Lady Freedom]

14. I work really strand hours!

[Itascapark]

12. Say, don't you fret about the whole

posting/PM business earlier tonight. Some people can be real rate bastards!

[Lady Freedom]

23. Thanks!

I won't! I'll just watch what I post from now on!

[Booberdawg]

30. Glad to see you back in action so soon.

I'm sorry about what happened too. You didn't violate any DU rules. Double standard I tell ya!

I didn't always follow the sexy threads but what I did see just looked like people having some fun. Geeze. :eyes:

[Lady Freedom]

36. As I said...

I'm going to watch what I post!

[madmax]

5. I've taken 2 sleeping pills and made a few attempts to sleep

but I'm reading 'Dreaming of War' by Vidal which isn't exactly condusive to sleepiness. Nighmares, perhaps!

[Itascapark]

10. Have you got to "Mickey Mouse, Historian" yet

Think it's my fav so far in that collection.

[madmax]

13. No, reading all the inconsistancies of 9/11

I remember when I still believed in a 'free press'. The thing I really can't get over is how bush acted at the school and why no planes were scrambled. The time line just doesn't make sense.

[tedoll78]

15. that troubles me to this day.

No scramble. He could have stopped it. Lives could have been saved.

[madmax]

18. And how bush and cheney both asked Daschle to

limit the investigation of 9/11 - Do you think Dashcle will ever tell us why he did or what he knows. I don't trust anyone anymore.

[Itascapark]

16. Yup...it certainly doesn't make mch sense

unless they knew "something" was about to happen.

[madmax]

20. The minute the second plane hit the WTC

I said out loud, 'they're behind this'. It was a gut feeling and I believe it to this day and probably always will.

[aquaman]

9. Haven't tried yet

I am listening to Stevie Ray Vaughan so that dosen't help.

[Shanty Oilish]

19. I'm never quite awake unless I'm alone.

And that happens sometime after midnight. So my body is tired (I guess) but I stay up for the undiluted thinking and reading, until around 5 or 6. That leaves about 5 hours a day to sleep, which is also usually interrupted by someone or other.
Not so they notice :)

[Kellanved]

24. I left at 4AM and am back already. (9AM)

too hot to sleep.

[Kool Kitty]

26. I'm up, too.

Too much iced coffee and I watched "On the Beach" today. So I'm still up and I'm on the East Coast, too. In central Jersey. (Hi, madmax.)

[madmax]

27. Kitty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey how are you! When are we going to get together for dinner?

[Kool Kitty]

28. Whenever you like, lady.

I lost your e-mail addy. PM me! :hi:

[short bus president]

37. Hey! I found the Jerseyites!

Almost wish I was still in Brooklyn so I could try to horn in on this dinner thing... back then I'd take any excuse to drive away from Downstate for awhile.

[Kool Kitty]

38. I wish you were still in Brooklyn, too.

You'd be a most welcome dinner companion. :7

[short bus president]

39. Woohoo!

Dinner with the Jersey DUers! I've had dinner with some of the central NC DUers (Supernova, Dark_Phenyx, the nclib family), but it's been a long while now since we've gotten together. You may have just inspired me to try to round these folks up again.

:toast:

[Kool Kitty]

40. Sounds like fun.

Love your sig picture, BTW. ;-) Good night!

[short bus president]

41. "night Miss Kitty!"

</Festusvoice> (and for any DUers who get the reference, good night to you, too! It's almost 4:30! I'm beat!)

[Booberdawg]

33. I'm up

Unemployed and no schedule. Half the time I don't even know what day it is.

[Isome]

42. I'm up...

I don't forget what day it is, it just takes me awhile to figure it out!

It's 5:43am (central time) and I've been up since midnight... such is my life as a nightowl!

[madmax]

34. Think I'll give it another try - between the husband

and the dog they've pretty much taken over the bed. Guess I'll have to shove one or both over the side. G'night you guys.

[Itascapark]

35. Good night!
