Sarge's last post, I think comes close to the mark. The trick is to somehow turn those slow burning nights into a positive. My method (seems silly I know) is that I don't limit my cigarette intake during a bout of insomnia. At all other times I keep my smoking down to well below ten a day. But during a long night of insomnia I say WTF - and enjoy a smoke as and when I feel like it - and something else, the silence of the world at 3am is better than at any other time. Adopt the right frame of mind and even the following day of exhaustion doesn't seem too bad. Things get a bit sureal but handleable. I have worse days after a good nights sleep!

Once again I am impressed by your fortitude Sarge. In the face of your medical problems my response would be to take solice in my pipe at every opportunity but you have clearly done the opposit and given up even this small 'vice'. That takes some serious strength of charachter!

(Incidentally I would like to hear some peoples views on this 'smoking' issue and am going to start a thread in which I hope some questions I have can be answered. Hope to hear from anyone interested over there - maybe the reult will be a 'Time to Give UP' self-help group on the Watch.)

I'm guessing Sarge means a harmless ice-cream, but here in Australia, in seedier circles, it involves sprinkling a different kind of icing on your cone. And I don't think you should try it as a replacement for cigarettes peter! 8O

Clearing up the curious confusion, at least from this end.
Spoiler
Icing = Cocaine
Cone = Vessel for marijuana, when imbibed via a bong.
As I said, probably not a good replacement for cigarette smoking!

:D, I thought that might be the one, but I have on occasion (accidentally of course...hem, hem) encountered a different kind of 'sprinkling' going on at the deeper levels of 'the Net'.

Ok, now I'm curiously confused, though I suspect it may be best to remain that way?

Edited to add: Ew, I think I may know that of which you speak.

I think we'd best get back on topic.... 2.5hrs Oztime until this post is just that.
Hopefully I will have finished working by then!

I have no idea what y'all are talking about. :lol: Nor, I suspect, do I want to....

A snowcone, here in the US, is a cup of crushed ice, over which is poured a flavored syrup. It's usually served in a cone-shaped paper cup. The syrup pools in the bottom of the cone and you get to drink it after you've chewed up all the ice and my mother would never buy me one. Yes, I still hold it against her. :evil:

The Hawaiians have raised it to an art form. (Be sure to scroll down to see the menu and pictures. The beans they refer to are azuki beans, Japanese sweetened red beans. Very tasty.)

Not quite 1:30, but close. Let's hope I fall asleep quickly!

Now that's a deprived childhood if you were not permitted one of those lovely looking cones! Thanks for the link.
