[The Hollyberry Lady]

Good morning, Y'all!

Maybe this thread should be called burn the candle at both ends because it seems a lot of us seem to be here every night.

Sorry about that Tbaleno but I ended up going to bed last night at a half decent hour...1 am!!! At least it wasn't 4 or 5.

Yeah, I should have called the thread "BURNING THE MIDNIGHT OIL"!!! Neat that we can sign in and chat when we want to.

Cool, that's your garden site. I'd say I'd join if I didn't already belong to 10 of them already! I might check it out some late night though and sign-on. It looked kind of cool!

Anyway, hope you can sleep tonight...

Ok Cory, just so long as you guys don't turn my thread into something nasty! Please be nice and let's not make this a thread where we insult each other's countries and ways of doing things.


MAKE LOVE NOT WAR!


Otherwise, for those who want to argue, start your own thread entitled "Political & Religious Aguer's & Debater's Thread"!!!


All I'm saying is let's just try to be nice. We've seen and hopefully learned from the past, how nasty threads are no fun for anyone.

Oh yeah Cory, Penny & I will definitely show you lots of shots of snow...especially Penny!





Um Penny...




Did you miss my post? I asked you what are ya doing with your Basjoo for the winter? Curious...








: )

[PennyG]

Sorry, i did miss that post, Sherry....i have brought it in, and it sits in a sunny window sill, a couple of the leaves turned brown, but its looking better now

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Don't worry about the brown leaves Penny, you can just cut those off. Just be sure to keep it showered indoors though because spider mites are very attracted to the leaves.


Great you brought it inside for the winter. You can put it in the ground next year.


Bob just sent me Siam Ruby & Veinte Cohol banana plants and they're doing well in my living room window. So looking forward to growing the Siam Ruby. It's the only banana plant I've ever really wanted and now I've finally got one....again!


Shhhh...we won't discuss what happened to my last one!


Thanks for posting your snow shot in my new winter thread, Penny! Hope to see many more shots over the season.



Anyone else interested can join too...


Winter Picture Thread!



I intend on showing many cool winter pics of London as well as internet images too.





Hope everyone's having a great Tuesday...





: )

[CoryS]

Thanks Penny! I'll be watching for your winter photos!
K. Here's my political/religious rant for today!



Well, that's all I have to say about those 2 topics till next year!
Hope you insomniacs are getting some sleep!

Btw, I know all about "nasty threads". I belong to a lot of music sites. They had to shut down the forum in one since nobody but trolls had permission to post, LOL!

It's not about insulting, it's about discussing.
Gotta clear you on that first.

Why would we insult each other's countries? I've talked 2 hundreds of people from dozens of countries about their countries and nations recently, not one country was better than the other... they were, unfortunatelly more or less the same, just with different pros and cons.

You can actually be free, if you won't look at people through countries and nations and start judging individuals for their contribution to the society. That's when you get a not so surprising enlightenment, that people are essentialy the same wherever you look. And that's when you stop talking about nations or countries and start evaluating each person, each individual according to the amount of humanity you can see in him manifesting...
Eventually, you will find out, that insulting nations or countries is as illogical as it is pointless, untrue, ungeneral and waste of one's precious time.

Now, about the religion...

[The Hollyberry Lady]

It all sounds good Jack, but some people's idea of "discussing" is just more arguing...and sometimes downright insulting!

It's only my opinion but I just think it's best to avoid topics that will likely cause arguments...and get this thread deleted! We've seen it before many times, haven't we? Let's just not get too deep into controversial subjects...

Can't you just post a sky shot, Jack?! Tell a joke or something? Does it always have to be these deep "discussions" from you?


Lighten up, will ya?


I do agree though Jack, and have found it to be true also, that people from all over the world are essentially the same. I also agree with your outlook that people should be evaluated individually and for his or her own personal contributions and deeds, either good or bad.



Alright Jack, time for a joke...



What's the difference between chopped beef and pea soup?
Everyone can chop beef, but not everyone can pea soup!


Ok yeah, that was totally LAME. Here's some better ones...


One liners I think might be particularily useful here...


"Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience"

"When you argue with an idiot, it only proves there are two"







So who's around anyway?

Beautifully spoken; thank you, Jack!

and a Sweet Dream to Everyone!

I can sure use some good sleep tonight.

Tuesdays are my favorite.

[jeffreyp]

Well, here's my 2 cents...

Drink plenty of water throughout the day, it helps with getting better sleep, don't drink any water/liquids 2-3 hours before you go to bed. Avoid alcohol as this dehydrates the body and reduces the amount of rem sleep you get. Herb/Vitamins that encourage sleep are L-Tryptophan - increases serotonin and melatonin levels for deep restful sleep. A good combo is 1000 mg of l-tryptophan and 100mg 5-HTP (another form of tryptophan) with a b-complex on an empty stomach before bed.

Some people also benefit from a timed-release (under 3mg) of melatonin (makes me too groggy the next day no matter the dose). Chamomile tea, hops and valarian root teas are great at getting you to sleep quick, can also be used in combo with l-tryptophan. Some people also benefit from low dose 5mg 1-2 times a day of DHEA (only take morning and no later than 2-3 pm). Dhea is a master hormone and the body will make the appropriate downstream hormones from it that will ultimately result in better sleep. Care should be taken as this should only be taken by individuals over 40 and a dhea hormone test to determine he optimum dosage...Generally 1-5 mg is a safe dose without bloodwork.

Some people suffer from sleep apnea usually from being overweight, work on losing the weight or get on a cpap machine.

Thanks for the tips, Jeffrey.


I'm not overweight, haven't been drinking, and I drink more water than a fish!


Yet still I have trouble sleeping!



Zac...


Nice to "see" you here also, and thanks for the pm about the plants and how they are. Why do you like Tuesdays?



: )

[ShearMe]

I don't have to go to class, and I usually end up eating a triangle of Toblerone whilst watching my favorite show at the end of the day.

But now, I must ruin the day by drafting a paper... bleh.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Buckle down and hit the books, boy!


Teasing, of course.


Your banana plant is doing really well Zac, and growing since I brought it inside. The pup continues to grow also. What a cool plant that is. It turned out to be one of my favorites this year. It got super tall too.


Did I tell you Bob sent me another Siam Ruby and a Veinte Cohol? Yup. I'm so excited about next year!


: )

[Willow87]

Hi how is everyone tonight?

[CoryS]

Dunno how everybody is but I'm okay! Wearing a helmet, dodging bombs, about to sneak into the fridge for some bites! Sherry! Are U asleep yet? That last moon photo is sweet!

[Willow87]

LOL sounds like you are having an Epic Adventure to the fridge. I think she is asleep

You just told me. :P

I googled Veinte Cohol, to no result. I wiki'd Veinte Cohol, to no result. Either Bob's playin a trick on you, or no one knows enough about them to post anything about them on ze internetz.

Good, Willow!

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Hi Cameron! Nice you joined too.




Zac...forgive me. I spelled it wrong!

It's Viente Cohol...not Veinte Cohol. I mixed up the "i" and the "e"...sorry.

He tells me it might produce a flower next year! Too cool, eh?




Hi Cory! Yeah I love night sky and moon shots. Anyone else can feel free to share some too if they want.





I don't think I'll be up half the night tonight but a little while...

I'd like to share this one with y'all:
