The Kitchen Table

Well, Now I have Done It!

17 years ago

I fell asleep and woke up with a leg cramp! Now I probably won't be able to get back to sleep forever! I may try to read and see if that helps. I hate when that happens. I hope the rest of you have a great night's sleep. Enjoy your Fourth of July. I sure plan on doing just that. I can hear fireworks already out this evening.

This sounds crazy but it really works.
Drink 3/4 cup dill pickle juice. I have not
had it fail yet.
Good Luck

All the fish died. I don't know if I will buy anymore. Is it possible to have a healthy pond with just plants? I got into trouble over winter. I removed all my plants because I figured they'd freeze and decompose into the water. I also stopped adding the bacteria stuff. The string algae had gotten pretty bad. I had used some hydrogen peroxide, which killed some of it, but then it was clogging up my pump and my filters. We are about to put the house up for sale and the pond looked awful. I needed to get it clean fast.

Thanks for the reassurance and yes, I think everything is planned around the kitchen...our house is very open so that where my starting off point has been. The reason for the turquoise/green border(which I forgot to mention) is because the cabinet people are building me a 8ft. x 8ft. hutch that is going on the dining wall that I'm planning on painting that color. tinycastles: yes the kitchen cabinets are alder with a walnutty stain. The frig is by Jenn-Air and ran 2219.00 with another 384.00 for the cabinet makers to make and install the matching panels. It's the best looking, most affordable counter depth that I found.

wow shax that would be a site to avoid, I would definitely comment on that at the wot rating site for that download site you used, that is how wot finds out when a site is bad. that is extremely excessive junk you ended up with. I am surprised they were still there with the system restore to before you did the install. You can also use REVO uninstaller if you find you still have problems with any of them. I think I would run malwarebytes a few more times after updating it just to make sure.

If you can get quinine, it works wonders. Our doctors say they cannot prescribe it anymore. We still have some so I take one about every ten days and that takes care of it. I haven't tried, the bar of soap under the sheets, yet but my sister-in-law swears by it. Pat

I've been having neighbors with fireworks going every night for a solid week and they have some pretty good fireworks. We're not talking just bottle rockets and sparklers. It's over for the night. Oops heard a pop off in the distance, but that's nothing major. The cats have gotten so they're not interested anymore. The one who enjoys thunderstorms would run to the window when they started it earlier this week but she's gotten bored with it now.

When I have trouble sleeping and need to get some rest I do some breathing exercises, kick back in the recliner, turn on some soft relaxing music or a boring TV show and concentrate on relaxing or a boring thought. Especially effective when I put a blanket over me and get a little warmer than usual. Get warm=get sleepy. If nothing else I'm at least relaxed and get some rest so I'm not dead tired the next day.
