The theater is where it's the worst for me. At home I can turn it way up and use subtitles. There are no subtitles at the theater, and at a friend's house, they usually don't want to play it that loud and can't get subtitles, unless it's a DVD, but not for PPV or Cable.

I've been doing pretty good with sleeping for the past week. I pass out early and get up pretty early.

I have to be on a schedule. If I break it for long then I so pay for it.

So it's nighty night time for you soon?:D

It's try to night-nite time for me. Babies get no bedtime suck. I think I am overfeeding them. I'm going to set my alarm for earlier instead and hope, hope, hope that I can go to sleep. I wish there were a switch to my brain that I could turn off at will.

Wish you had a switch too! Now TURN OFF AND GO TO SLEEP :) (((hugs)))

I know that's right! I'm usually the same way.

Sleep well, Dear Heart, and I'll see you tomorrow. :wub:

I have to work into it. Take time to wind down. Take my Melatonin and still it takes me awhile to fall asleep but at least most of the time I do.

I don't know how Sun, Redd, or Pri function!

I took Melatonin a long time ago, and it worked OK for me. I used Alteril for a while, but I build up a tolerance so easy. It doesn't work for me anymore.

No, not yet. I haven't watched anything for over a week now from passing out early. I'll watch something tonight. :)

I used to switch between Alteril and Sleep MD from Walmart - both are natural. I haven't needed anything in a good while.

Good Night, Sweet. :wub:

Well, I see I got here in time for most to have already gone to see the Sand Man.

Hello, Beachers......Got home at noon, turned right around and took my sister the loaded IPad. Got there with computer granddaughter and boyfriend to find sister just getting over a bout with pneumonia. But we showed her how to operate the IPad, and she seemed to catch on to it just fine. Was playing some of her favorite music, and playing Candy Crush when we left. The nurses said they would lock the IPad in a safe at night....I hope so, I know what they cost!!

Now just got dinner over with and cleaned up....am really tired. Too tired to back read the 60 pages I am behind...hope everyone is well.

Our beach get a way was really fun and relaxing. Great beach weather all 4 days....got lots of lake time in and some shopping. Just made finger foods for most meals so we did not have any kitchen messes. Very laid back 4 days.

And now I need my own bed! So will say good night, and see you all tomorrow. :wub::wub::wub::wub::wub:

And now in itty-bitty print, so it's non-obtrusive, is my letter to the FDA, just in the nic-o-time (which is only one away from Nicotine :D)


To: FDA Center for tobacco Products
RE: FDA, Docket No. FDA-2014-N-0189, Regulatory Information Number (RIN) 0910- AG38



I am writing this letter to voice vehement opposition to regulation of electronic cigarettes & the liquids necessary to utilize same. I am a direct consumer of e-cigarettes & any regulation of these products would effect me specifically.

I was a 2 1/2 pack a day smoker of 30 years with no intention of quitting.

Even as I kiss my dear Mom, God bless her, I make sure I don't step on her oxygen line. I go to bed each night making sure the oxygen is still on. She felt smoking was her very special pleasure. Until they wheeled in three big oxygen tanks. The memories of all the good times smoking paled in comparison to the reality of the necessity of oxygen. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Even though I watched my father die a terrible death of lung cancer. He was my best friend, my hero and dearest confidant. It is the greatest of tragedies to see a beautiful life fade away as you inhale the object of that death in between shifts of your vigil, knowing that you are destined to the same fate if you keep smoking tobacco. But you still smoke, puffing away to relieve the stress of watching a needlessly senseless death.

That is the power of that little tube of burning combustible tobacco leaf, laced with thousands of chemicals. It's always been there, though so the power of denial mutes these obvious facts of lethality. So you smoke, when you are joyful and when you are sad. After a great meal after an awful day. That little thing never lets you down, it's ALWAYS there for you. Even when you're choking and wheezing every morning, "So what,", you rationalize between coughs and hacks "those tough old cowboys did the same thing". There has been such a stigma from the early to mid 20th century about cigarettes, how cool they are, macho, sexy, dignified or a plethora of other adjectives we used for our justification mechanism.

Then one day I saw an article about e-cigs. Several days earlier a telemarketer called trying to give me a free introductory e-cig starter kit.I didn't impress me but the ad I saw in the magazine, well it looked "cool". Yes we are receptive to advertising, even as mature adults.

SoI looked into it. Fascinating.Even though further research of the type of cigarette in the ad proved that those cigarette-looking (cig-a-like) things were grossly inadequate, It was a door that, when opened, changed my life.

It's been nearly 3 years now. I "vape" on a large customized e-cigarette with e-liquid that I make,safely, from liquid nicotine, Propylene Glycol, Vegetable Glycerin and natural flavors.

I exhale harmless vapor. Harmless for me & anyone around. No odor & no hazardous fumes as second-hand smoke does.

More importantly, I can breathe . I can smell & taste again. No more coughing jags or choking. My clothes don't stink & I don't stink. My lungs are completely healthy and the traces of COPD, though they were mild, do not threaten or restrict my life anymore.They are actually non-existent. My doctor thinks e-cigs are " a miracle".

Now I have absolute unrestricted freedom!

There was absolutely no adjustment of transition like nicotine patches, gum or psychoactive pharmaceuticals present as an unavoidable compromise to quit smoking.


As a long time smoker that is huge. The "psyching up" that occurs prior to trying quitting & then the blow to self esteem when it inevitably fails is double whammy.


That's my story.


I understand there is a threat to these things that saved my life (& millions of other's lives).

My question to you at the FDA is simply this:

Why do you want millions of us, dead?

Putting e-cigs out of reach is a death sentence to millions. Now & in the future generations to come.

Why will you sound our death knell under the guise of "it's for the children" or "our own good" ?

If you put E-cigarettes out of reach & restrictively regulated, we will, mostly go back to cigarettes.

And as I stated previously Nicotine patches, and gum are simply precursors to the failure mechanism that makes us just say"Oh forget it, none of that stuff works" and go back to inhaling death in the form of a cigarette.

I 'm told there is a concern regarding different flavors in e-cigarette liquid & the rationale is that this would make e-cigs appealing to those (read young people) that would not otherwise introduce nicotine into their system.

You realize that "the forbidden fruit is always perceived as the sweetest" especially to young people. Restriction, in this situation simply will not work. Remember "Prohibition?"& "War on Drugs"?

The hope is in education, accurate information regarding risks.

That's it.

A question;

Why do you want millions of us actually dead using the rationale that electronic cigarettes/liquids may, in theory, possibly cause addiction (but no physical harm) ; and if that's the logic, should I start hoarding coffee?
