Night Shift

Night Shift

Since I am awake at 4am I thought I'd start this thread for those of us who have trouble sleeping and might find it helpful to have a place to go to chat. Whatever gets you through the night is alright.

To get the ball rolling, I'll just say that I enjoyed being part of the Topic Tuesday discussion tonight. I wish it was possible for these events to be weekly rather than monthly. Either way, thanks SANE and all the people I've met on here over recent months.

Edited June 2016 and February 2017: Night Shift is now open 24 hours a day. To join in, just click through to the last page of the thread at the top right of this post to get to the latest message.

Edited April 2017 and June 2017: For the sake of better communications between members here, I am adding that this thread is meant to be a caring, kind and gentle place of sharing. Humour is welcome, as long as its not unkindly directed towards other members. Hope your time in this chat thread is rewarding.

Re: Night Shift

Yeh, dishonesty is crap @TAB...I think sometimes it makes you realize how others value things in friendship. Dobbed in? To see your dad...were family politics now that is painful at times. Ha,ha trust your posts to be moderated..ex army heh lol...i know your kind! But talking to ships isn't that navy?! Hmm I should hunt down one of those amazing wolf artworks to hang on my wall..a little reminder to self..of inner strength. I did see a psychedelic one in tobacconist the other day. They actually have some cool stuff in there!! 😂

Re: Night Shift

Milk thistle...is a cleanser right? I've got a great herb book written by a gypsy. She was self taught,originally a vet. Really interesting. I grew so many herbs & just chucked them in everything.
Ahhh I see. He sounds happy to hear from you. Nice work 😊 @TAB

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Shaz Nice of you to think of me. 😀
Good you had sun today, I guess you were able to hang washing out, instead of using the dryer. 😊 Been busy today. Usual chores. Had to cancel doctor's appointment as my mammogram results still weren't there. Had mammogram on 9th August, long wait. I'm not too worried, just curious re: lump.

Picked girl up early from school to take her to uni. Gets quite stressful for her. Did big food shop, made a roast. Now cuppa time. 😀💜
Did you and hubby have a busy day working?

Hi @Former-Member and @TAB. 😀
I read about your day @Former-Member. I hate being in groups too, always have. I'm not super outgoing, so others tend to take over. I try and tell myself, it's ok to be quiet sometimes. Bit hard to join in when others like to be the centre of attention. Not sure if that's what happened today. Are you ok?

Bummer about not getting your money back @TAB. I decided years ago to never lend money, as we more than likely will never get it back. Lent someone $700, never got it back. Have lent other things, never got them back. Not nice that people are like that. I hope he returns the money to you eventually. 😊

Hi to anyone else on here. 😀
