By the way, lately we've been missing a few of the "regulars"--and I bet they'll be kicking themselves for having missed out on fun.
One wonders where nataku x, william of orange, beckysueb, and JLO are; they haven't been around, and we all miss their illumination.
I bet they're really going to kick themselves.....
"...I think the possible "6" is too ambiguous to call..."
Nope; check the original DU post - #1117 on this one - the top one is clearly 6188.
Probably we are beyond the Mel vs. Viggo vs. Johnny sequence, but I'll throw Tom Selleck into the mix!
Well, take a look around but have your blood pressure pills handy. There's a lot of good people here but like everywhere else we have our share of "not so good people". Even though we can get silly at times, I have yet to have anybody send me "positive energy" and not one single "I Believe" thread have I run across. :)

I think most of the calls to the hospital have originated from the DUmmies...you can read it over there..
And welcome to FR!
Arguments??? Hell, the Schiavo threads were knock- down, drag out, no holds barred fights to the death. Or in some cases, opus.
Okay, for some reason it kinda looks like a 6 and kinda like an 8.
If it's a 6, uh oh!
Isn't that Opi? Surely not...I'm delusional!
I haven't been able to sleep for about two weeks. I start to drop off, and maybe actually sleep for about 20 minutes, before popping awake. Last night, for about the fifteenth day in a row, I saw the sun come up against my will. This has started to affect my stomach, which makes sleeping harder. I have tried exercise to wear myself out, and have managed to badly strain a muscle in my back.
So, to recap: No sleep since April, rotten stomach, torn up back. I've reached that insomnia point where I am psyching myself out; I got no sleep the night before last, spent yesterday writing a PDA action alert and a 30-minute speech transcript, drove two hours to do the speech, gave the speech, did a three-hour Q&A, talked to people for another hour, drove two more hours to get home, and by the time I got back here I was literally quivering with exhaustion.
But I laid awake until 6:37am (I remember looking at the clock), popped awake an 8, 9, 10 before finally giving up and getting up at 11. I can barely see straight right now, my stomach feels like it has snakes in it, my back is killing me so I can't exercise...and I know for a stone fact that I won't be able to sleep again. Tried a nap an hour or so ago. Came thiiiiiiiis close to dropping of and then popped awake.
Any ideas? I've already heard about taking mela-whatever, but that stuff gave my mother splitting headaches when she tried it. I have drastically cut back on caffiene. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. I've reached that violently, violently, violently frustrated stage of insomnia where sleep is a guaranteed impossibility, and if a routine like yesterday's (while on no sleep) can't get it done, I am at a total loss.
Hmmm.... Could it be that Pied Piper Pitt is having sleepless nice due to worry about how the AndyScam Scandal will also flush him down the toilet due to his major role in enabling the AndyScam?
It couldn't possibly be a conscience, could it?
Pain from migraines all week not conducive to posting or communicating beyond grumpy snarls; thanks for checking in with me!
WINNER!!!!!
DING DING DING!!!
I really think our Pied Piper BELIVES he is a real word smith...unfortunately, I find his writings stilted, unworthy. They revere him and bow continually. It's truly odd.
That's my first thought; I even speculated last night that Skinner et.al. would be having sleepless nights over this. Or, could be that Pitt has some as-yet undiagnosed debilitating disease that requires a $50,000....no, $100,000 surgery, and he has no insurance, see, so if you could just find it within your heart to....
You may want to look into the Libertarian party, but that is only my humble suggestion. I wish you well and hope you enjoy yourself here!
