Insomnia_Sucks  I see you but Cant say that I have before much , oh I see you are really new joining in Nov. 2015.
I guess you waited a while after the old list shut down before you joined, eh?
Course I'm not in the vender threads much I think Charon has said venders must say they are, are you a vender by chance?
Oh I.S., I see also you are a Pioneer member so you must be from the old list, so it just took you a while to find the new list.
This is one of my favorites threads.
Well not only does the real insomnia suck , we you cant sleep, but this morning sucks, sorry everyone it happens sometimes doesnt it.
Hey Linville,
Yes I was a member of list.com (for about a week)Â
I joined it just before it got shut down, maybe made 10 posts there in total.
I didn't even know list.org existed.Â
I can't remember a single persons 'name' from list.com and no one will remember me.
I was just a newby looking for help.
Anyway list.com disappeared and I found list.org, an my GOD am I happy I did, I love it here.
No, I'm not a vendor, Im a customer
As for my late join date, that doesn't tell the full story. I actually joined list.org earlier in 2015,  but a site glitch deleted some members, unluckily I was one of them.Â
So, I rejoined, I think everything happens for a reason though.....
As for being a pioneer member, well, I like to think I gained respect very fast here (and the feeling is mutual- I have a lot of respect for a lot of others here too) what up y'all
Basically after being here a while (pre and post November) I woke up one morning (the day after my 13 year old Boxer Dog died) feeling very upset.
I took my dog to the dog crematorium and had a mini funeral with some of the closest people in my life.
Once I got home I logged on, here, and I was a pioneer member.Â
No one knew my dog died, but like I've told a few since, being made a pioneer helped me get through that day.Â
I'm blessed with friends in my day to day life and friends on here.
Although I suffer from insomnia and anxiety (which are now both manageable, thanks to this place and you great people) I feel stronger than ever.
I only came across this thread yesterday (no offence but I thought it was to do with a game- like a computer game, I misread the title) and I love it so you can expect to see me more.
As for Insomnia, yes both the waiting to fall asleep and the morning alarm clock after managing an hour are both h3ll.Â
Kind Regards

Good Morning IOP....

It's raining like all get out this morning! Hope we don't all float off somewhere... Other than that, it sure wasn't as bad as Cricket was going through last night... Sheesh... Ok coffee's done... Brb..
Ahhhh... Always the way to start the day.. Wel that and... Hang on.... Whew!! Let me finish coughin... Ok... That never gets old to me...
Yesterday I smoked like 3 cigs... And two of those were when I got up with my coffee... The doc said,"Stay away from any triggers"... Now that's all fine and good... But... I would say there are boucoup triggers.. Like waking up.. Drinking coffee... After I eat something... Driving anywhere... Stress... And the list goes on and on... Maybe I'll try gettin in a coma .. That should keep those triggers away! I got me a vape... Of coarse those too maybe bad for ya as well... Just like breathin the poluted air... What ya gonna do...
Lots of new folks hittin the site as of late... Gotta keep our eyes open on how they interact... Some of the names they are using seem a bit concerning... Am I just paranoid? I just don't want a few hard cores ruinin this place we've put together with BS... Jealosy... That's the biggest killer... They don't have what we have and evidently don't want us to either... Sorry bout their luck... Hey I don't mind helpin anybody, even out the door if that's what they need.... Y'all just keep scannin the board and watch... We have lots of good people here, that means lots of pairs of eyes....
Just sayin...
Sheesh... After 5... And still rainin... Ok .. Gotta split the scene to be back fore the mail runs.. My pkg should be on the truck today and not a minute too soon... So I'll be back directly...
Remember to love one another today and smile... It could literaly mean tippin the scales of life or death for someone...

Hey everyone, have a GABAlicious panic free day and or may your opiate receptors runneth over with relief.
RE: Cafe Linville - Zander - 02-24-2016
Good morning All!
I just got back from my morning run. Last week my doctor told me that jogging would add 10 years to my life. He's right, I feel 10 years older already.
Have a most wonderful day everyone.

Hahaha, thats 2 posts that have made me laugh out loud today.
Zander your post deserved rep but I got the message:
Error:Â You have already given as many reputation ratings as you are allowed to for today - I tried
I hope everyone in the Western World has a good a day as I am.
I have no idea why I'm having a good day, woke up on the right side of the bed I guess.
Today brings 2 songs to mind:
-Just Jack, Glory Days
-Ice Cube, It was a good day
RegardsÂ

P.S from reading I know people are having a bad day today (pain, anxiety, even the weather) so I hope things get better for you all.
RE: Cafe Linville - djdsk8 - 02-24-2016
Good Morning,
Thanks Popster!
Hi Insomnia_Sucks, glad you found this thread, and glad to have you join our coffee break! Had to break out the Ice Cube thanks to you.
IceWizard great job on the cig reduction! Concern about new folks can be a good thing, keeping those eyes wide open. Trouble makers tend to dig their own graves rather quickly in my experience so don't stress too much. Like you said, there are lots of good people here watching.
Thanks BoomerB, same to you!
HAHAHAHA!!!! love it Zander
Life may not always be rosy but it's better than the alternative. Wishing everyone the best day possible!
RE: Cafe Linville - Revolution - 02-24-2016
Boomer, that was some good Shakespeare kind of stuff right there. Very funny! Hoping love, light, and happiness and some FUN to all.
RE: Cafe Linville - Rose5555 - 02-24-2016
Hi everyone, just a little hello from the UK; wanted to say Fireplaces, what happens to our teenagers, both to their faces and on social media, can be so cruel - I have had experience of my older son being bullied for whole academic year at school, which changed him radically. Â I do hope your daughter gets things sorted soon and has the personal strength to withstand the bad effects of all this on her sense of self.Â
Hi Insomnia Sucks, we meet again! Â Nice to see you dropping in at the cafe, which is frequented by some of the loveliest people on this site.
A big hello to Ice, Harley, Roses, Audrey, Willie, Revolution, Boomer, Forme, Linville (of course, who can forget you?!) et al. Happy Wednesday evening.

Ice, I laughed when I read your description of the triggers that lead you to smoke, above, but it was one of those hugely sympathetic laughs - you are spot on with what you say and I remember that all too clearly from the two times I quit smoking in my life (I gave up at 25, then thought it would be a brilliant idea to start again when under stress at around 29, and so had to give up a second time at 32). There is always some reason to want a cigarette, I find.Â
Anyway please don't go so far as to get into a coma - they are so last year - and keep on keeping on. It's all you can do, just keep trying and don't give up just because you give in one day, just start again the following day. Â
Best of luck!
