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.

Aw @Jacques

I am sorry to hear about your car - you need it

Big bucks - yep that's cars

I use taxis - and I have a Vic Taxi Directorate Card - and I pay half the fare - I figure I don't pay for a car, repairs and maintenance, insurance and registration, petroi and depreciation

But I have to ring a taxi to go anywhere - and sometimes it's hard to get a taxi - I wish I could drive

I used to but I don't now because my spinal problems cause me to have spasms in my arms and legs and this could be dangerous behind the wheel of a car

So - no big bucks

But I understand - having a car is a great thing - it gives you freedom -

I hope those bucks aren't too big

Re: Night Shift

@Shaz51 and @Jacques sorry to hear about all the hassles. Hopefully the bills will come in less than you expect and @Shaz51 that your Mum's injury heals well and that the MH worker rings tomorrow. Maybe try ringing them again too.

Thanks for that @MoonGal I seem to have fixed that now. Feeling so good about writing something after such a long break.

@Decadian glad you are finding the forums as good as I do.
