Wow, **beebs** is sure into wielding the Power of the Map! Tee hee! Hugs, boos, yays, etc. as appropriate – too much to comment on individually! I was feeling totally awful again today, and then I was talking with **whiterabbit** on the phone this afternoon and kind of brainstorming about how maybe it hasn’t been Teh Sick, but maybe a reaction to medicine or something. And then I realized: I went off of one med two days before I started feeling awful. It’s one that you have to taper down off of, and I’d tapered according to my doctor’s directions, but apparently with my weird body chemistry that wasn’t good enough. So since I still have plenty to taper back up – that was the plan, go off it and see how I did since I wasn’t sure it was really doing all that much, but obviously it was doing more than I thought and I didn’t do so good going off it – I took a dose, and voilà, within half an hour started noticing a dramatic improvement. :smack: Also apparently this annoying drug really _does_ work for chronic pain because my pain level dropped by 50% without me having to take any kind of pain meds. So now I’m kicking myself for letting myself feel like crapola for ten days when I could have solved the problem any time I wanted. :smack: But at least our new mattress was delivered today, so even though I’m not sick, I can still enjoy crawling in bed! Papa Tigs has been scheduled for an updated sleep study in March for some time, but got a call today to see if he could come in on a cancellation tonight. So it’s just me and the Idiots; he’s off getting all wired up to see what’s wrong with his sleeping. We had such warm weather today that I was able to leave the back door open to dog-going-in-and-out width with no noticeable effects. It’s changing rapidly, however; that cold snap is arriving here, apparently. Although it also appears to have lost most of its punch, fortunately. And with that exciting news, I’m off to do something or other for a bit, and then crawl into bed on my lovely, comfy new mattress. Mmmm, new mattress! ---

I remember when Jim used to compliment me regularly. Now that he’s figured out that it doesn’t come with a ‘get some’ guarantee, it tends to get over looked. I think over time it happens a lot. Well, I tell that to myself to make me feel better anyhow. I’m sorry **GT** , it was so close. **pie** , get some sleep. I vote for **Ivory** to be **Soapyresident**. ---

I’ve got one… How’s about **SoapyEdificeInhabitant**? **rigs** , I thought about you today while we were at the hospital. **MamaTigs** , just yesterday I got my cpap pressures adjusted after having a 2nd sleep test last May. :dubious: Ok, off to do some paperwork and then try to mellow out and sleep. ---

[QUOTE=Always Brings Pie] I’ve got one… How’s about **SoapyEdificeInhabitant**? [/QUOTE] Nope, no way, nuh-uh, not gonna happen. When you wrote that I read it as **SoapyOrificeInhabitant** , and immediately was flashed back into a day during my youth… TMI TMI TMI No really Don’t do it… [SPOILER] I was masturbating like a motherfuck in the shower, probably a young lad of only 11-12. Hmm, I thought, this soap is slippery, good lubrication, no? So I’m soaping up my nether regions and massaging vigorously creating more and more soapy foam. Somehow, out of nowhere my urethra opens up and takes a huge swallow of the foam. Don’t ask me the anatomy and physiology portion of this event, but it happened. And in a split second I go from the pleasure of wanking to howls of pain as it felt like the inside of my penis was on fire. I’m trying in desperation to clean off all the soap. I’m a young man, small in stature, naked and holding my junk trying to take small jumps in a slippery shower just to get my head (dick) closer to the head (shower). Nothing is making this pain go away though. What do I do, who could I tell? “Mom, Mom! My penis is on fire because I was sinning in the shower!” No, I could not do that. All I could do was double over on the shower floor and wait for the pain to pass. My parents were probably wondering why I was in the shower so long that day. If they’d guess, they’d only be half right.[/SPOILER] I really shouldn’t have shared that. ---

:smack: Okay, I was already slightly predisposed for nutty behavior, but I think this minor God-complex I’ve developed with the map has pushed me a little over the edge. Apologies all, I’m putting everyone back and then I’m bowing out of the MMP this week. This is for my own good. Y’all stay safe and healthy m’kay? 🙂 I’ll continue to update the map as well, so keep locations coming. I’m still reading. ---

Awww, **Beebs** , we know you’re reading this. Come back! I never thought you were getting all power map big heady. I thought it was all in good clean fun! I’m refraining from having more fun with this, but you see that is my nature. I don’t want to further embarrass you on this. We’ll all look the other way and pretend it never happened. ---

**bbs2k** , you can put me in San Jose. I finally got my computer working. I think I’m all caught up on the MMP now. Whew. I’ve been knitting furiously on my sweater, since I have class tomorrow and 3 inches to go. I don’t think I’m going to get that much done. I should take pictures soon, since it’s finally starting to look like something. I got out of the hospital on Monday, and I’m feeling much better now. ---

I’m glad you’re feeling better, **Shadow**. We missed you! **Roo** , I swear I’ve been a good girl this past week. Unfortunately, good girl = less stories.
