[li]I can stick my wedding ring up my nose. I cannot stick a Sacajawea dollar up my nose. And when I finally went to bed at 5 a.m., I lay there trying desperately not to giggle at the fact that I’d actually conducted the experiment.[/li][li]When I went to bed at 5 a.m., already trying to suppress a fit of the giggles, Mr. Thyme let out a sudden trumpet-like fart that caused us both to giggle madly for a few minutes. It was nice to have a reason to laugh, because I didn’t want to tell him that I’d tried sticking my wedding ring up my nose.[/li][li]Um, hi, Opal. [/li][li]I forgot the rest.

If one must have insomnia, having the Dope around makes it somewhat more tolerable.
Sometimes I read old threads, too. I change the URL to a random page number, like 666 or 999 and browse from there.
I have also stuck my wedding ring up my nose when I found that thread. Thankfully, I was alone in the house at the time. The dog didn’t care. I also giggled a lot.
Seconding the welcome! Your list is magnificent. Do you have a newsletter to which I may subscribe?
I always stay up late reading old threads, in addition to the current 15 or so tabs I have open. My fatal flaw tends to be thinking up elaborate posts just before I fall asleep - while my brain still works but my body won’t allow me to get out of bed again - and then forgetting it all in the morning. Just the other night I came up with a fantastic new thread for the Game Room, but damned if I can remember what it was now.
My wedding ring doesn’t come off, so now I’m off to look for something else to stick up my nose!
I commiserate with you on the insomnia. I have been fighting it myself lately. I hate it when I wake up at 2 and can’t go back to sleep until 4:30 (I get up at 5.)
Justine Thyme, welcome. . . as long as you didn’t try the ladle thing.*
*If you don’t know what that means, look up Autolycus’ posts one night when you can’t sleep. BIG warning, you might have trouble sleeping again for a very long time after reading them, so be forewarned.
Autyclus: I’ve had squid and loved it. Been meaning to try cabrito, but every time I’ve ordered it the restaurant was mysteriously out of it. Maybe next time I hit Mi Tierra in San Antonio.
Bosda: Pie, definitely.
Sunspace: Thanks for the ice cream! Your flavour sounds fantastic, and I’ll raise you homemade cherry-vanilla.
Thanks for the links, all! If I end up being awake all night again, I’ll obviously have plenty with which to amuse myself.
I like your user name. I like it better than mine. In fact, I wish I would have thought of that. It would have a double meaning for me, seeing as how my last name is another kitchen herb.
