What is it lately. Woke up here at 3:30, been awake since! Not feeling a workout, so just laying here trying to rest...
Methinks you are all a bad influence somehow!

I would def blame us!!

I had been pretty good about sleeping and sleeping routine for quite a while.

Actually, going on the phone is the worst thing you can do, but I did it anyway. I think “they say” that you should be off your phone for something like an hour before bedtime.

I did finally fall asleep and got a couple of hours in.

Here are my sleep tips:
If you ever wake up, try going to the bathroom.

Try not to use your phone.

If you wake up and cannot go back to sleep, try deep, breathing exercise exercises, and relaxing, and envisioning calm sleep.

This one might be controversial, but I tend to go to sleep with light, chill music playing on my phone. It has an automatic timer and stops after an hour.

It’s lit, so masturbating and having an orgasm can help you relax.

It’s easy to go to
A bad place we are awake in the middle of the night. Try to think of something pleasant to distract your mind.

All good suggestions. I adhere to the phone (for the most part). Lighting color temperature (2700K to 3000K) in the bedroom and evening lights.

Dog wakes up needing to go out, and that doesn't help the sleep schedule. But she's OLD, so can't blame her...

Think this morning is related to the last round of allergy exposures, or a bug of some sort. Was NOT feeling good when I woke up. Some mornings it's just being awake, but this was def something different...

I wonder if it is not allergies but the dry air. I’ve had all kinds of allergy symptoms in these days of intense wind. Yesterday’s highlight was an earache.
I still like to be outside so I can use the grill. Today I will have to reset my wind break. I moved it to the winter position in the wind and it’s already loose. Maybe my old hands don’t make as good a knot in the cold as they used to.

Daisy Duke was often the subject of conversation among us boys growing up!

Was your nickname pivot?

 

[Tweedledude]

Ya me too. They have recently done something that's irritating. They have removed the micro SD slot so they can charge more for phones

They take a phone and double the memory.... That's less than 12 dollars for them then they charge us a couple hundred more.... We have labels for that.
Maybe I should expose that... But I see there is chatter about it already

Is this a good place for another older guy to say hello?

Hello, AOM -
Here's the standard welcome for all café newcomers:
Welcome to the café.

We conduct ourselves a bit differently here than most of the rest of Lit.

Post #1 introduces the joint... and glancing back over the last 10-20 pages provides additional context.

To be clear:
1. No religion 2. No politics 3. No drama 4. This isn't a hook up thread. Take it to the DMs or go somewhere else.

Everyone is welcome but we are protective of the vibe

This applies to all who visit this thread.
If this feels like a good match, welcome...

If not then please keep looking on Lit -
There's so many threads to choose from. You're sure to find a few to your liking.

I admit that I had a poster in my room…

 

[Missk_2022]

Of course! What kind of girl gang would we be without pink fringe?!?!?

We've heard so much about you (all GOOD!), we're so glad you're here! ️

And some glitter

 

[Missk_2022]

Is it back on yet?

Yep just a few hrs..... but I prayed for God to keep me safe and warm.....

Agree, 100%. We encourage everyone to join, but we have some norms that we adhere to.

We think it’s a great place to hang out, and hope you will too.

Daisy, Farrah, Bo....too many for me to count.
I just made it into the 50s club last month, good thread!

Welcome to the half century gang!

What????
Apparently I'm in the wrong business. We helped a neighbor take down ten 70 foot tall maples with a tractor, chainsaw, and cable. I think he bought us lunch...

I spent 2 g to take down 3 trees.... they were too close to the house...... and he took out the stumps too

 

[Missk_2022]

I have never seen it but the lakes can get very stormy.

I have heard lake Erie is a dangerous place in storms

Morning everyone!View attachment 2439135

The almost weekend coffee cup is the absolute best!

Quick catch up then back to the grind...
TGIF cannot be emphasized enough today

Hey, do you want some fine cedar firewood?

Thanks! I’ll pick it up!

I actually have a fair amount of cedar that I’ve milled into fence posts.

It’s red cedar and not good for firewood. I will use it outside a bit in a bonfire but that’s abt it.

Cedar??? New Side Hustle just dropped
Could be some serious cash hidden in that there tree
Cedar Aromatic Drawer Closet Fresheners in a Linen Bag ( 4 pieces per bag ) $4.99

Cedar Closet Blocks $10.00 (no linen bag and rough cut for these)

I understand that! My hubs had an S9+. I cleaned it up, got it a new battery, factory reset it, all to get it ready to trade in. Then I found out the trade-in value Samsung applied would only be $50.

I noped out and gave it to my housekeeper.

Mine is so old... there's no trade-in value at all

I'm so sorry you're having such a tough time sleeping, BSK! I hope the insomnia group has some suggestions for you to try!

And then share them here? Sounds like a lot of us could benefit from a few more tools in our sleep toolbox.

We had a few, but nothing like now.

I think something about how School days are counted by the state changed, so the school isn't penalized financially for snow days. So they lay them down pretty heavy now.

Friend of mine lives in northern Wisconsin, maybe two hrs south of Duluth. It was May, we went up to Lake Superior to do some boating and fishing!- I had never been there before.

70 and nice where he lived. By the time we got to Duluth, it was 45, winds were whipping at like 30mph.

We went to a few bars instead.

That's still shorts and flip-flop weather in those parts. Maybe add a hoodie b/c of some wind?

Actually, going on the phone is the worst thing you can do, but I did it anyway. I think “they say” that you should be off your phone for something like an hour before bedtime.

Wind can stir up all sorts of nasty triggers.

My last big exposure to cigarette smoke caused the usual symptoms but also bad earaches. The pain didn't stop until I was away from the smoke, changed clothes, showered, and it cleared my system. Yeah, that was fun

OMG - so irritating!! Unless they all do it (which I'm sure will happen eventually) that kind of BS is enough for me to switch products. You want my money? Don't be a dick!!
