Hello Michael       8/3/2012
      
BF> Do you two self medicate on it?   My doctor has never mentioned it for
BF> Butch's sleeping problem.
ml-> I think self-medication is the way to go. 

Both Butch and I are much more comfortable relying on a Doctor.  Different
strokes....

ml-> There's no standard formulation or standard dosage, anyhow, and
ml-> I've seen bottles of pills of between 0.3 mg and 10 mg, each label
ml->claiming 1 as a dose. For me I discover that 0.3-0.5 is about right;

From what I've read that seems to be the dosage used for getting sleepy.

ml-> I take a 3 mg pill and halve it and third the half, more or less.

That dexterity alone sort of qualifies you to medicate.   [g]

ml-> If I take a bigger chunk, it makes me weird. 

I'm firmly holding control of my hands so as not to mouth off.
[an interesting concept, out of context]

ml->I secretly think that taking the stuff is a gateway into alternate
ml>universes, and if you take too much, it blasts you into a strange and
ml-> less pleasant place. 

Keeping that in mind...

ml->Edited to add: I wrote this before
ml-> today's oddity, in which my brother pounded on my door
******** Warning!  Lines omitted here *******
ml-> and started creaming incoherently at me. He sounded possessed. 

... are you sure it's him that's out of it?  [g]

[I'm just puddling about.  I realize what a burden your bro must be to you.
I literally pray that I never become a burden like that to my family.]

ml-> I'm impressed with myself for having taken some 30 hours
ml-> to figure out what or who LiLo was.
BF> ???   I put LiLo in Google and it took a part of a second.
ml-> I didn't use Google but rather what remains of my brain.
ml-> For things of less than vital importance, it takes a while.

Are you implying that I cheated by using Google, whereas you, the
Practicing Pragmatic, used up 30 hours thinking and came up out of the
clear sky with who LiLo is?  This is the honorable way I take it?   [g]

Phoo!

ml-> The authorities are called, and in the course of the
ml-> investigation, the piece of paper is found. It reads:
ml-> "breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out."

I've reached some puzzling endings in the past when I used the Blonde's
technique in following How-TO Assembly Instructions.                     
 
BF> [Linsay Lohan for iconoclasts, and she hit a truck]
ml-> I didn't know that she hit a truck. Which suffered more?

Dunno.  She flew thru the hospital.  I'll take a flutter that LiLo floats
thru the law fine. 

BF> Them there Mushrooms was delicious.  I wanted to pig out on them, but
BF> there weren't enough of them for me to get away with it.
 
ml-> Pieces of info for those who weren't there:
-> 1. I got them at the store, didn't forage for them.
-> 2. There were only a few of them, and I got all but one,
->    the last being yellow and over the hill.
-> 3. As they were 12.99 a pound I couldn't afford much
ml->    more than 6 oz anyhow

What I said was part of a description of how good they were. No need to
rebut.

ml-> Yellow quinoa (quinua amarilla)
ml-> 1 1/2 c quinoa
m******** Warning!  Lines omitted here *******
ml-> 2 Tb EVOO

Is this recipe a repeat?  I seem to remember this recipe spurring me to
discover what the Heck Quinoa and EVOO were. [And taking the cowards way by
using Google.]  [g]
