No tvs in the library. Good lord, first you are wasting good scotch and now you are seeing televisions in the library. What next - are you going to shake the port? Replace the Times with USA Today? Eat cheeze whiz out of the can in the club chair next to mine?
Talk during quiet time?

I actually think it is just a big picture.

I knew Mr Ed could talk - oh i just answered my own question! Are you using voice recognition software to post? Horse voice...

Oh, you don't shake the port? Whoopsie!

Actually, I was going to sit in the club chair next to you eating potato chips, then crinkling the bag really loudly, then slurping my drink, then munching the ice.

And I believe the Weekly World News is the true paper of record.

I'm not sure, but I think you just called me a horse's, uh, patootie.

I could never figure out which show had the weirder sentient thing, Mr. Ed or My Mother the Car...

Not at all! I was complimenting your new picture

I liked Mr Ed and Francis the Talking Mule. Never heard of my mother the car.

The new avatar is the moose I saw last week. At least I think it's a moose. I guess it could be an elk.

I thought it was picture also.

Second lecture much better.

Had a lovely flirty chat with the termite inspector. I forgot how much I like to make people laugh.

Jerry van Dyke (Bert the chimney sweep's brother) buys a used car through which his dead mother speaks to him.

I am not making this up.

It wasn't on very long. Wonder why?

Um...isn't that also how you think about the first one you see?

stopdog · Mar 03, 2016, 06:33 PM

It is how we would have to look at the results of someone crinkling potato chip bags and crunching ice in the chair next to mine.

Its a digital art display. No TVs in the library.

Hi EM,

It was a high dose of Klonopin, as I had taken Ativan in the past and developed a tolerance for benzos: I took 4 mg at night. My pdoc had advised that was the max he would prescribe anyone to take at once in a day (of Klonopin, specifically).

ETA: I did try lower doses first and worked up to the 4 mg, which was what worked for me

Thanks. She has me on a quarter of a milligram but it doesn't seem to do anything at all. I'm scared to tell her it isn't doing anything though. But she said it worked on the same neurons as alcohol and alcohol after several years of abuse never worked maybe that's why? Have no idea. I'll let her know I don't notice any change on that dosage and see what she says.

5he couch is our own little place in existence, or not.

Wow...even the bar is classy. Club chairs for SD and booths for the rest of us!

Ellahmae · Mar 03, 2016, 06:54 PM

On the other wall are TVs so we can watch several teams at once and eat wings with our fingers and get all messy... Well get SD something that doesn't require getting g her hands dirty to eat.

That's a very small dose...hopefully she will give you some room to see if a higher dose works for you! Nightmares are terrible. Mine eventually went away, but I have no idea why.

StressedMess · Mar 03, 2016, 07:11 PM

I always picture the couch in a cozy little room tucked away from the daily madness that is my real life. This couch intimidates me! However, I shall adapt, as I am among friends. And I can still find many places to flop down and sigh.
