i cannot sleep!!! (ot)

[Zhure]

Austrian.

Isn't that where Hong is from?

 

[KnowTheToe]

I think I need some sleep as well, I just read the title as, I can't spell.

Isn't that where Hong is from?

No, I think he's Australian.

 

[Jeph]

No, I think he's Australian.

No. Definitely austrian. You know, near New Zealand.

 

[Kae'Yoss]

No. Definitely austrian. You know, near New Zealand.

I take it you joke.

That might be the most irresponsible thing I've ever heard anyone on these boards suggest that someone do...

...to rum...

But I'm not sure what's cheaper - that, or Nyquill...

Probably the Nyquill.

Nyquil is definitely cheaper, but I won't touch the stuff. I can down two or three hot rums, go to bed, and wake up the next morning feeling fine. Give me a shot of Nyquil, and wake up feeling worse than when I went to bed. Blech.

I've also found that simple meditation helps insomnia. Dark room, as little background noise as possible, lay on my back, hands folded across my chest (you know: the corpse on display pose), and breathe slowly, counting inhales and exhales.

Elixir of Sleep:

3/4 cup boiling water
1/4 cup 151 proof rum
1 tablespoon brown sugar

Stir. Drink. Lay down and close eyes.

My great-grandma was known as an excellent cook, and she had tons of recipes floating around her house. After she passed away, we sorted through the recipes and made a cookbook out of the best of them. My favorite was this:

Cough Medicine:
1 bottle Jack Daniels.
Drink until cough subsides.

How much would 2,000 New Zealand/Austrian dollars would that be in Canadian?

 

[Jeph]

I take it you joke.

Yeah. Spent too much time in the [hivemind], back in the day.
