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.

Hahaha @Mazarita,

OMG, i got my first pc in 1989, and IBM 80286, whith a whopping 64KB of RAM , and igot the internet in the summer of 1995, we might have chatted in the same IRC chat rooms, OMG, you must know computers well working on mainframes in the 1980's.

i know the feeling of being controled by another force, i used to haver no control over my internet habbits too, you are right you need to take your time and reduce slowly, i am glad you managed soem sleep today.

sorry to hear about your marriage falling apart, i know you are doing amazing things, giving up smokeing of all types and making yourself healthy, you should be so proud, it is a very difficult thing to do, i am cheering you on from the sidelines @Mazarita, you can do it 🙂

take care

Jacques

hi Dearest @PeppiPatty,

OMG it is beautiful, mum has just finished a cross stitch Kookaburra and another bird, when she frames them i will post photos.

It is so nice to see you a little more "cheery" today, sounds like the events have shaken you up a lot, i hope the encouragement from me and others helped you through this dark time in your life. it is nice to give something back, you are all so nice to me, and i think of you and everyone else here as family.

Mr Arlo sounds like he is getting plenty of protein in his diet

Thank you for giving me an update on Mr Arlo, and yourself, keep up the good work.

take care

Jacques
