1. Good luck, my dear Bertha!

Happy New Year to you and yours, as well!

:hi:

[bertha katzenengel]

2. Thanks, Peggy.

I wonder if So. Cal. DUers would be interested in a dinner on a weeknight during Prez Day week next month... Hmm. We'll be home for a wedding on the 18th. :bounce:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. I sure would! Give me a call, OK?

I'll PM you my phone number in a moment! That would be awesome!

We can work out the logistics as needed.......Woo Hoo!

[bertha katzenengel]

6. yepper - dig it

:bounce: :woohoo:

Wonder if Mav will come up from San Diego. Think folks in L.A. will come down to Orange Co.?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. I have no idea....you'll just have to ask them!

And I just returned your PM......And now I'm off to bed!

See you later.....try to relax and get some sleep.....you need it...

3. I've found melatonin helpful

Albeit in addition to 150mg of Trazodone. Hopefully it will work for you. :boring:

8. you and me both Bertha

went to bed early tonight, for me, and woke up with sour stomach x(

[bertha katzenengel]

9. Damn, Big...

I just spent five minutes holding the big white phone, wondering if I should call Ralph. The urge passed, but. Gawd. What time zone are you in, hon?

[BigMcLargehuge]

10. Eastern

I was considering also driving the porcelain bus around the house, but the urge passed.

I think I'll set up some bicarb (half teaspoon Baking Powder to 4oz water) and see if I can't wait it out.

Blech.

[bertha katzenengel]

11. good luck

it was my alka seltzer & melatonin i would've spewed... what a way to start the year.

Well, maybe it's like live performance: If dress rehearsal is terrible, the show will be perfect. This night's been bad, but the whole year is ahead of us!

i'm gonna go back to bed and try my luck. :hug: and go :boring:

Recuperation will be tonight. :hi:

[bliss_eternal]

18. Good for you!

16. Hey, neweurope

thanks :7

[Skittles]

14. chronic insomniac here too bertha!

my usual combo is a melatonin and a half a Unisom. I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE Ambien but my doc won't let me stay on it endlessly. :o

[bertha katzenengel]

17. Oh, not my Skittles!

Sometimes I'll take blue tylenol w/ the melatonin. If this keeps up, I may try the mel/unisom combo. Thanks for the tippage.

:hug: :bounce:

PS did you see my "Skittles is acting like a little slut" thread? :evilgrin:

[bliss_eternal]

19. Hey Skittles--

how does the melatonin work? I've been thinking of trying them...
