How Do You Like Your Lounge? Fried or Fertilized

I believe it's a little too late for that now. t:

Well now I know. And.... Oh it's just too damn easy at this point.

And knowing is half the battle. G.I. Jooooooe!!

You're going to have to be more specific than that. Is it the bump with the proper soundtrack or the one where it was the Transformer's music instead? You know whut I'm talkin' bout.

It was the one/s with the G.I.Joe end credits afterwards, always. (proper soundtrack)

 

[Marvolo]

If by "the same" you mean bland, awkwardly textured and lacking in flavor of any kind, then I agree.

I heard it was like driving a nail into the hard pallet of one's mouth. Hmmm seems to be differing opinions. Must try it and find out.

My puppy is kicking my ass again tonight. He was crying again until I brought him to my room in a box & he finally quieted down, for now.

You know I can actually still remember the first time I saw the Joe show. I actually had no idea what G.I. Joe was outside of maybe hearing it to refer to the old toy line. I came back from school and I guess my Grandma, who watched me, said, "G.I. Joe is on. Here's some fruit." I had not said I wanted to watch Joe, didn't know what it was. But I guess I was like, running around and being, well a 6 year old kid. It was the ep in the snow, when Snake Eyes gets trapped in the mine with the radioactive material. I have rewatched those eps a few times in adulthood and those early ones still kind of hold up. Voice acting, music, the general tone. It all has an almost pulp vibe.

That was part of The Mass Device storyline, where the Joes are competing with Cobra in getting three essential materials found in the most remote places on Earth to power this device that would transport you anywhere you'd choose.

Those mini series eps, yeah. The M.A.S.S. device that needed those elements, which were just an excuse to send the good guys and the bad guys on a scavenger hunt. Still, it worked, and in those early eps Cobra does come off as menacing. As a child of the cold war from NYC seeing that beam almost hit the city actually was scary (or I was a big ***** as a kid.) to me given the tensions with the Soviets and things like THE DAY AFTER on tv.

HA!! If those sort of episodes gave you the chills, I can only imagine what the movie Red Dawn (1984 version) did for you. The mere thought of WW3 being fought in our own backyard for me at least was/is a little unsettling.

Red Dawn was no where near scary for me because it's really a conventional action movie in many ways. When Powers Boothe's character talks about the Eastern Bloc launching nukes it had little effect on me. Plus I got to see Charlie Sheen and Patrick Swayze drink Deer blood. How often do you get to see that?

Actually, I'm guessing Charlie Sheen is drinking Deer Blood right now. t:

 

[Ultimatehero]

He's bi-winning it!

 

[Ultimatehero]

Weren't you dancing to Spidey?

I'm at least better than you. ... jk.

That was sarcasm lol. I'm this board's Andy Kaufman.

 

[DarkSentinel]

Folk of the lounge, deep-fried and otherwise, I call upon those who have not voted yet in the epic battle ensuing between myself and DarkSovereignty.

Sovereignty has legions of penguin soldiers poised to wipe out the hype should he defeat me. We cannot let this happen, and I will not allow it. Vote for justice. Vote for Sentinel

 

[Ultimatehero]

I'll vote for the other guy. Actually, unsure, I'll vote for DS3.

not sleeping?

i don't like pills and whatnot, so i haven't really tried anything

May I offer a few suggestions?

1. Hot baths, "wind down time," warm non caffeinated tea. This is the first thing people usually suggest when someone is having trouble sleeping. Hot beverages that don't have any stimulants in them make make you drowsy, as well as perhaps reading before bed or doing something quietly (no electronic distractions) for a while to give yourself time to wind-down and relax. Hot baths may also help relax you and make you sleepy - try a bath with the lights off except a candle or something too.
2. Guided meditation. I love using either the website calm.com or the app Calm. If you use headphones and lie down in the dark and sincerely try to listen to the soothing woman's instructions, you may find yourself asleep before the track is over. You can also have a soft background noise, which helps drown out other sounds that may be keeping you awake.
3. Yoga. Doing 15 to 60 minutes of yoga before bed can relax and calm you enough to sleep. You can find yoga videos online, on YouTube, on Netflix, or you could even rent some from your local library. If you haven't tried it, don't knock it! I reccomend anything that says "vinyasa yoga" or "yoga for relaxation/stress relief."
4. Melatonin supplements. These are not sleeping pills. They can be found for less than $5 at your local grocery store - they are in a purple bottle and are dissolvable tablets that taste like strawberry. Basically, they are meant to help your brain go, "Oh yeah! I guess it IS time to sleep now!" They don't make you go to sleep, they just help ease you into drowsiness. You're supposed to take one (3 to 5 mg to start) and then lie down with the lights off. Or perhaps you could take one and lie down and read or do your guided meditation - this combination can be especially effective.
5. White noise. White noise is also an option. There are many websites, apps, and CD's that offer you sounds of a fan, static, the ocean, etc. I don't really like this method, but I know people who cannot sleep without the sound of a fan on.

Also sex.......

 

[DarkSentinel]

Erz, I can count on you, can't I?

 

[Erzengel]

For sex?

I dunno, at least take me out first.

At least buy him a drink, Sentinel.

For your vote, man, your vote!!

They just want to be close to you. What we did was have our bed sorta close to one wall and blocked off the underneath so she couldn't get under the bed. Then we used a small eyebolt to attach a very short leash (4 foot?) so that we could leash her onto her own little bed of blankets there. That way we could make sure she stayed on her bed but was still close. They won't pee on their own bed. Once we did that, she slept through the night. She still sleeps there now every night, minus the leash.

 

[Duke]

Surprisingly, he wasn't all too bad last night. He just fussed a little bit, then fell asleep. I slept more last night, than the previous one.

 

[Harls]

I had to wear out my new puppy before bed when he was still little. It was so funny - I'd have to play with him and he would be chewing a toy and falling asleep mid-chew, or trying to crawl onto my lap to sleep when he fetched something! But that did help him sleep, that and making sure he didn't have to use the bathroom.
