I go to bed usually between 12 and 2. Up by 8 or 9. I work at a restaurant so the late hours come from that. In the summer I get home some nights at 12 or 1. els

25So, who sleeps in early, and who sleeps in late?(fluff)
by obiwan in.
i find that i can't sleep in late on the weekends.i'm up at 5:30 in the morning during the week and by the time the weekend comes around, if i can sleep till 7:30 i'm doing good.
even if i stay up till midnight i still get up around 8:00.the only way i sleep in late is if i've been drinking all night or i'm sick.. so how does everyone else do with thier sleeping habits?

FreedomRules, She went to Colby-Sawyer. It's expensive but a great education. I call her my Financial Aid Wonder Kid. She got so much in scholarships and grants. Now as soon as we both pay off our loans we're all set. I tell her that now she can afford the good nursing home. els

My daughter Meghan graduated from college this past Saturday. It was actually a beautiful day in New Hampshire for a change. I was so proud when she walked across that stage and accepted her diploma. The only person in my family to ever go to college. People kept asking me if I was going to cry and I said, "Why would I cry?, look what she's done and she's coming home." Just for a moment I allowed myself to feel a little sad that none of my family was there. To think why couldn't they put their feelings aside to be there for her. But then I thought I didn't need them there being all judgemental and disapproving. I have enough love and approval for her to make up for my whole family. And you know what? It's OK! And she didn't invite them anyway. She doesn't want anything to do with them because of how they treat me. els

GoF, It does not mean you should go back! When I was a witness teenager I was sleeping with an older guy who was a witness also. We were sneaking around so nobody knew about it. Then there was a trip to Bethel that I wasn't allowed to go on cause my parents were suspicious. On that trip he announced his engagement to another sister. I knew nothing about it till a witness girl I went to school with told me on Monday. There are creeps everywhere, even in the Witnesses. Instead of thinking you shouldn't have left, you should be wishing the Witnesses taught girls how to be smarter about men. els

Do You Expect To See Your Loved Ones In The Resurrection?
by minimus in.
that's a question i've been contemplating lately.
-

I think that the whole idea of a resurrection, even the idea of living into the new system is part of what makes witnesses so unloving. If you think that someone, a family member or a friend is always going to be there, there is no need to really get to know that person or show how you feel. There will always be time in the future, right? Time when you're not so busy being a good little witness. I think that believing that life is short makes us appreciate people that much more and take the time to form real bonds and to show our love. The only time I can remember anyone in my family saying "I love you" to me is when they were trying to convince my to come back. Under those circumstances it just feels like a weapon. els

It's pretty easy to let the religion go. The hard part is when you have family that is still in, in my case my whole family. Today at work my boss asked me if I had called my Mom to wish her a happy Mothers Day. It was the simplest question but it opened up so many feelings. Most of the time I'm fine with it but having grown up a JW does color many things in my life. It's like growing up poor or rich or an only child or in a big family. It is part of who you are and always will be. els

This place is the best!
by els ini have been on a different discussion board for these things called cluster headaches that i get.
it's a good board with alot of really good info but it's kinda hard to break into.
it's like they don't want to invest too much in you till they know you're going to stick around.

Francois, Thank you for your concern. I am working on it. I'm taking Verapamil to try to prevent them but it is a blood pressure med and my BP started getting too low before I got up to an effective dose. My doc doesn't want me passing out somewhere. So he's trying something else. I take fast dissolve Zomig to abort them, works pretty good, about 15 mins, 20 tops. The problem is that insurance will only cover four at a time, for $30.00. I was getting hit with attacks up to 4 times a day so I was reduced to trying to only take it for the really bad ones and tough the other ones out. Most of the time I can get enough samples to keep me going. Breathing 100% oxygen for 10 mins or so will abort most of them but my insurance won't cover it so my husband is looking into getting it through the fire dept or the rescue squad for me. He has driven me to the fire dept. in the middle of the night a few times. He's a captain so he has a key and can get me in. Mostly I get hit between 9 at night and 9 in the morning so if I can squeeze in enough sleep I can funtion OK. And for me a cluster usually lasts 8 weeks or so. I'm 5 weeks into this one so the end is in sight. Sorry, that got kinda long. I'm glad you no longer have migraines, I hear they're a bitch also. I just wish someone would figure out what really causes these and come up with something that really works. Take care, els
