Oh dear, the man is off to the dentists again. Good luck.
I went to the GP today - just a check-up and a talk about my sleeping deprivation. My bloods are good -well everything except lipids - but those are not dreadful. She wanted to prescribe me sleeping tabs on a rationed basis - quite heavy duty ones - but I refused because I have abused sleeping tabs in the past and I also know that if I get into the habit of using them and if I run out, it would be opening up the floodgates to turning to AL as a sleeping aid. I dont know if she really got my point about addiction and how becoming dependent on a sleeping/anti-anxiety medication can easily slip into cross-dependency. Thats my view anyway. So I am going to try melatonin and keep on with the magnesium supplements (that I think do bugger all). My sleep issues and anxiety are because of other factors and these are issues that come up every single day.
You did not sound good PQ - PM me too if you would like to chat. I was dealing with weepy people today and although my shoulders are not physically big - there is plenty of room.
OK - I am off to watch some more of Deadwood. Det - have you seen it? Its set in Dakota, 1870s. Really fascinating.
You all take care and sorry i haven't named everyone - but the names are there in my brain somewhere!

good morning all
a quick hello, running a bit late. Suddenly it just seems to be dark a lot longer and makes me sleep. TT, reading your post about not sleeping, any meditation in your routine? Melatonin works for me at times, though sometimes I dream some weird stuff, or maybe I'm in sleep mode enough that allows it to happen. Mick, emergency toof visit?? Dang!
PQ, thinking of you...
Lav, what you growing for the chicks this time of year?
be well good friends

back from the dentist fixed and sorted...back again on monday....wow where is everyone??????

Joseph and Mary lived in a barn. Mary had just given birth to a baby boy, Joseph was a carpenter by trade but had no work.
On this particular day, after another unsuccessful day at the job centre, Joseph trudges back to the barn on his donkey. He then notices three men on camels carrying parcels and they take them into the barn.
Joseph gets off his donkey, storms into the barn and shouts, "For fck's sake, Mary; we've just had a baby, I'm unemployed and you are ordering stuff out of the fecking catalogue."

The first-time flier was very nervous as he buckled his seat belt before takeoff. He turned to the woman in the next seat and asked, "About how often do jetliners like this crash?"
She thought a moment and replied, "Usually, just once."

My mate said "You look a bit miserable mate, everything alright?"
"Just been to see my dad in hospital" I told him
"Aww, hope he's ok, whats wrong with him?" he asked
"Our Sky went down, so he decided to get on the roof & fix it, sadly he slipped & broke his collarbone, both arms & his leg" I told him.
"Wow. I don't wanna sound out of order, but it sounds like he's been a bit foolish if I'm being honest" he said.
"You're telling me" I told him "We're on Virgin cable & don't even have a satellite dish"

MAE, Det, I would get they are red-tails also. You can't see much red. but it may be the angle.

Mick, I'll bet you'll be glad when the dental work is all over. I will be going to a dentist near the Arizona/Mexico border, who is highly acclaimed for some permanent replacements. It will be all done in a week. I heard about this place when I was in Canada and is very popular with Canadians and Americans.

I am willing to try and reduce my sugar intake as it's not good for Chron's disease. I've done a pretty good job. However, my diet now is sprouted bread and water (lol).

Hi All, after a couple of cool days, summer has returned here with record-high temps and humidity. Good weather to stay indoors and read through these 6 real estate textbooks that make up the course I'm taking. Pet care has picked up, which it usually does now through the end of the year.

Glad you're back from the dentist, Mick. PQ, what's up with you? Will have to read back.

**porqoui** · October 12, 2016, 06:57 PM

MAE ALL...

Mick...sorry to hear you had an emergency dentist trip today. Did you get the window/frame in the garage door. Thanks for the PM offer and I'll reach out if I need too. I'm feeling much better. I think the heavy duty antibiotics, she had me start with a double dose, helped a lot. Held off on the steroids till this morning as they can effect your sleep. And I did manage to get about 5 hours sleep which helped a lot.

TT...as well thanks for the PM offer, I'll keep that in mind. I have been prescribed sleeping pills in the past and quite frankly they did nothing for me. Probably because of the AL abuse they're a low dose and too scared to abuse them. Course didn't think nothing of taken 4 or 5 over the counter sleep aides.

Sam...I think our bodies want to go into hibernation mode at this time of year. Pretty soon it'll be dark after work as well. My BIL had the same reaction to Melatonin with wild dreams when he tried one of mine. I haven't used it for quite some time now.

SK...let us know how the dentist goes. I've heard both good and bad stories about them.

Pi...looks like you've got your fall/winter project sorted. Good luck with the real estate course. It's the same old, Ex sold the house, kept the money and bought another place nearby. Said he'd put my name on title and I can have it all when he dies. What an ass. I found out he also bought a shop. My son is just getting the title searches done and I'm going to slap another caveat on them. It might be stretching the Alberta Land Titles Act but I'm willing to chance it just to piss him off.

Pauly...thanks for the support. Isn't it great to have this place!

Lav...thanks, I may just take you up on that. Wonder if you could do it in cyber space. I'll upload a picture and you can let him have it. LOL

Det...thanks for the hugs. You've reminded me that I've been out of my vitamins for awhile. Bet it's all related.

Off to figure out what's for dinner, I really do need to start eating healthier. Hope we all have a peaceful evening....:smile:PPQP

**Lavande** · October 12, 2016, 10:11 PM

Bedtime greetings Abbers,

'Twas another long day in Lav-land but everything is good!
Daughter had her surgery & was home resting by dinnertime & texting me

Granddaughter is happy & spending a second night here with me even though it means she will miss Kindergarten tomorrow. I think the education gods will forgive us, ha ha. I just thought my daughter could use the rest.

Mick, I have enough work on my plate right now & dealing with my daughter's injury - my son & this nonsense will wait. To be perfectly honest the ball is in his court now as far as we are concerned. Sometimes he's just damn clueless I think.
Your relationship with your dentist must be a strong one by now!!!! Good luck with the window replacement. We have done them in all of our old houses, expensive.

TT, sorry about the sleep issues. I use an OTC called Alteril & it works fairly well. I wouldn't want Rx sleeping pills either. I hope you can find something effective!
Sleep is vital to my sanity.

Sam, we had packages of heirloom seeds leftover from a Christmas gift last year. There's trays of flax & some sort of wheat & something else growing for the chickens - lucky birds.

SK, good luck with your dental plans too.
I have a friend with Crohn's & she is on Humira & doing well. I know it's expensive but effective. Life is too short to live on sprouted bread & water.

PQ, glad you are doing better today!
Geez, now I really want to drive north & kick someone's a$$!!!!

Det, we have those hawks here & they help themselves to one of my chickens every once in a while

Glad you are doing well!

Pie, study, study, study!!! Woo hoo, you are gonna be a real estate star

Peace to everyone tonight!

Lav

**Determinator** · October 12, 2016, 11:25 PM

even later greetings ABerooos!

tired, so short post for garlic breath.

Mick, emergency and dentist in one sentence sounds dreadful. Glad yer back and ok.

for sleep I've heard raves about this from people I know and trust: Sleep Cocktail FAQ’s
Shop | Doc Parsley’s Sleep Remedy

Lav, so glad the surgery went well... one less drama you can mark off

speaking of sleep. zzzzzzzzzz

be well loves
