Thank you all very much.
Went to a ballgame today and was amazed as the beer-guys walking up and down the isles yelling "Cold Beer Here!" had no effect...
The only thing I wanted was the 'collectable' cup, but I wasn't gonna spend $7 for one, $5.75 for a soda is bad enough (and these are lowered prices because the team stinks sooo bad). lol


It's a 'leap-year' first anniversary... had me scratching my head over; how I can have 365 days already and it not be Sept.22nd.

Thank you EternalQ, I hope we can sort this insomnia thing out one of these days, but it's nice to come here and join-in on some posts in the mean time. My sleep "issue" is something I did not expect to go on this long, most everything else has cleared up. ... Okay, maybe I knew, Drinking to pass-out was near the TOP of the 'reasons I drank'.
