Yeah, but only minimally. I have some at the office that I wedge into my chair from time to time, but thats not something that helps me sleep.

Well then maybe the solution is to embrace insomnia. Sit down for long sessions writing constructive criticism emails to the CRA.

"CHATGPT! Make this rant politically correct and more polite so that I can send this to the CRA... please."

Might not be enough room considering all his props along with your Sledge-O-Matic and watermelons.

BigChief, Locke and topfiverecords are in a hot air balloon...

Careful, you're writing a romance novel for PepsiFree.

At the hospital they have people called doctors and nurses. Think of them like accountants, but instead of filing taxes, they treat people’s medical issues.

Best part? You can go there for free.

You and I, yes we can go there for free, but accountants? No. There's a fee.

Its a dumb story, but the gist of it is this.

When I was a kid, I broke my ankle in a soccer tournament, my coach made me continue to play.

"We can't win without you!" This was stupid.

My parents didnt believe in having a Family Doctor so they took me to a local clinic.

Doctor Rando prescribed me 16 Ibuprofen. A day. For 3 months.

Now I cant handle any painkillers. I had to go in for surgery as a kid, nothing to be done about that, you gotta have painkillers. I was sick for a week.

An Advil? The next day is a hangover x10. Its brutal. I'd rather suffer the pain.

I take painkillers or sedatives only when absolutely, unconditionally necessary. But other than that? I avoid them like the plague.

If half of your posts in this iteration are going to be hanging off of me I'm going to have to start charging you rent.

Being #1 in total posts in CP puts a target on you. Sometimes it’s better to be Buzz Aldrin than Neil Armstrong.

TIL that banana peel tea will help you go to sleep.

Dice the peel, boil it in water for 10-15 minutes, strain, add a spoon of honey and drink.

Let me know how it works. I can’t try it myself, I fall asleep watching the banana boil.

For sleeping what about melatonin? I have used it a couple times when my brain just keeps going at night and it worked. I just get weirded out by things that knock me out.
