daily naps and coffee with friends ... watching judge Judy and seeing other people's challenges

Sometimes in the middle of the night I wake up because of a tickle in my throat that won't go away. Natural reaction is to cough to try to get the tickle to stop, but I hate to cough a lot during the night and risk waking Hubs. So, I keep a little tin of sugar free mints on my nightstand, and I'll pop one in my mouth - gets rid of the tickle every time.

Insect, (class Insecta or Hexapoda), any member of the largest class of the phylum Arthropoda, which is itself the largest of the animal phyla. Insects have segmented bodies, jointed legs, and external skeletons (exoskeletons). Insects are distinguished from other arthropods by their body, which is divided into three major regions: (1) the head, which bears the mouthparts, eyes, and a pair of antennae, (2) the three-segmented thorax, which usually has three pairs of legs (hence “Hexapoda”) in adults and usually one or two pairs of wings, and (3) the many-segmented abdomen, which contains the digestive, excretory, and reproductive organs.

Coffee. At least it is for me. It is my starter fluid.
