Jeez. That sucks, my friend.

I have a sort of reverse-insomnia in that I have no problem falling asleep, but can't STAY asleep. After about 3 hours, I'll start stirring and - if I don't drop back off immediately - the wheels start turning and sleep becomes just a concept dreamed up by a science fiction writer.

I have both - can't fall or stay asleep. And yeah, it's the wheels turning issue. Can't shut my brain off.

Oh well, I'm used to it. I do wonder what it would be like to get, say, six or seven hours of sleep one night.

It's gonna be ugly. O/U on Schaub pick-6s is 1.5. I'm flying the over. I can not remember the last time the Ravens were a double-digit underdog at home. I'll give Baltimore this, though - they'll play hard. But if I were Harbaugh, I wouldn't play any of the remaining 4 good players left that aren't on IR.No (legal or not) fixes for the insomnia?

Good news! Schaub will toss zero pick sixes since he is out and Claussen is starting...

Didn't Claussen get cut by the Bears at one point? That's hopeful

That was one of the teams he was cut from, yes.

I feel awful for those of you with sleep issues. I don't know how you function. Anything less than 6 hours and I'm basically a drooling zombie.

Besides being an organization who stole another city's team, harbored killers, and encouraged dudes who are abusers - whatever do you mean?

Or were you talking about Seattle?

Jewish guy who I helped set up his phone is back

Him: We want to participate in Cassy's graduation present

Me: What were you thinking?

Him: The family group present with the kerners

Me: Would a pony be out of the question?

Him: Are you serious or just horsing around?

Me: Ponying around

Him: Ok, we'll Pony up. Do you know what the present is?

Me: The kerners suggested a jellyrooster, but you know how they are. Should we be looking to light candles and say Kiddish? I think it's appropriate.

Him: What is a jelly rooster?

Me: Classic Irish decorative

Him: I think she might like that.

Me: Agreed, she's a sassy lass.

Yeah it's real. I know little about the Jewish faith though so this is getting tricky. I can set up his home phone but if he's asking me to deliver a Chanukah blessing I'm in real trouble.

ETA: Also Cassy left her sunglasses over there, guess I'm gonna have to go get them. Stupid kids! :hot:

Sweet Hazel requires a band-aid to a finger which she injured like two weeks ago by hitting it with a sharp pencil. The wound is fine, but she's 3 and stubborn and loves band-aids, so every night after a bath or shower, she raises a finger to remind me to dress her injury. What finger, might you ask? The meme is courtesy of Shuke.

It took me over 20 years but my wife is coming around. A lot of it has to do with slowly poisoning my sons with my ambivalance.

I may have gone too far though. Beerkid bought this and swears he's wearing it Xmas Eve when we go out to dinner with my family. http://rockyouruglychristmassweater.com/birthday-boy-jesus-ugly-sweaters/

It will not go over well with the majority of my family. I've got about 2 weeks to convince that, while it is hilarious, my 80 year old mom (who is paying for everything), and my born again brother and his wife will not appreciate it.

As a devout born-again, I think that sweater is hilarious.

My wife's grandmother makes a birthday cake at Christmas every year.

Although by the time she gets 2000+ candles lit, the frosting is pretty much ruined.

:thumbup: My brother might find it funny but his wife doesn't have much of a sense of humor when it comes to Jeebus.

I went to a church Christmas party with my wife's grandparents about 20 years ago. They sang Happy Birthday. I was pretty shocked.

I got "Merry Chirstmased" today at Staples. I liked it. First one of the year. I would expect a soulless office surprise corporation to forbid such tidings, but I found it joyous.

I've been getting some pretty strong "merry christmas" greetings from the bell ringers this year. Really driving it home with some chutzpah. Trying to win that war I guess.

I got a "thank you for your service" from an enlightened Objectivist who realized I was an intellectual and financial one percenter doing all of the heavy lifting for society.

I made the mistake of answering one of the NYC lubbovitchers who cornered me in the elevator down from my office. any answer will apparently do, when the question is "are you jewish". chased me down the street and wouldn't leave until I took a menorah. at least he didn't try to drag me into the mitzvah-mobile.

 
At The Park for my professional association's Christmas party. It was better with shuke, bentley and cos. Not only because they're better company, but they are actually actually better looking than this crowd. Ooooof.

Woof. Sounds like you need a prettier organization. Local public relations and marketing societies both throw some pretty good parties.

Today's adventure revolved around a random phone call from one of my mother's friends.

She left a message saying that she had not heard from my mom in a couple of days and that she had left messages and texts.

So I try and call my mom and it goes right to voicemail. Text message also goes unanswered. Now I have no idea how often she would blow off the friend that left the message, but she'll always drop everything for her darling boy. So I start to panic.

I drive over to her house, no answer at the front door. Go to the back sliding glass door and start knocking on the window. Nothing. Try the garage door code, which is my dad's bday and it doesn't open.

Out of options and close to losing my ####, I call the police and they (3 cars) show up about 5 minutes later.

Cops start asking all sorts of questions

'When's the last time someone had heard from her?'

'Any medical conditions?'

'Is she mobile?'

'Does your mother even want you here?' :mellow:

While asking questions, one of the cops is repeatedly ringing the doorbell.

Which, of course, gets answered by my perfectly healthy mother.
