Don't hold back tell him the truth, I go through "cycle's"......3 or 4 months of waking up dead on 4am and not being able to go back to sleep until around 6am (just when I am about to get up) I feel like a dead man walking during this period, can't function at all.

Rest of the year I am fine, I would not wish sleep depravation on my worst enemy, worst thing out.

Get it sorted.

bloody plumber's......I don't know why I bother to call them in, cost me a fortune then stuff the job up...far better if I did the job myself.

if you can stick to one or two good nights sleep per week by taking the pills it will be far better for you than looking to take the damn things every night.

I guarantee you will wake up feeling like crap after a dose of sleepy tabs, better to minimise their usage to just enough to get by on.

I tried some once, never again, I couldn't work, head was full of cotton candy, couldn't concentrate.

maybe a "natural", less "harsh", relaxant would be better, tie this together with a "regime" of night time preparation methods.

start to wind down around 7pm, no excitement, no stimulants after 8pm, dim the lights.

no reading in bed, no tv in bed......do not get up during an "awake" session, lie there and force your body back to sleep.

look at a "regular" schedule of, say, bed at 10.30pm......up at 8am......be strict.

this helped me..........good luck.....not easy.

Don't worry mate I did electrical from year 8 all the way through to year 12 and did peoples theory work if they did my prac, because I didn't need electrical and just did it to bludge my way through school.

Then I ended up being an auto electrician.....

Anytime mate......you've got plenty of friends in here....been down myself a few time's, I know what it's like.

What's the saying....."don't let them get ya!"

The number of folks in your life is not important, the quality of folks in your life is.

I wish someone would turn that bloody heater off......crikey.....enough is enough!

Here is a suggestion for you that's a little outside the box,......
Smoking Hops.
Should get ya in a sleepy mood and will not have any of the negative effects associated with prescription meds or smoking any other sort of substance!
From here : http://www.urbanhuntress.com/2012/10/foraging-hops/

Hops have sedative and hypnotic actions and they have been used for centuries as a remedy for insomnia. They are a perfect straight-up bedtime herb. They have a relaxing effect on the central nervous system, reducing tension and anxiety throughout the body and can be helpful when physical tension is causing other problems like insomnia, headaches and indigestion such as nervous diarrhea.

A quick google search on smoking hops will provide you with lots more info!

not allowed to cut the sandwiches on the bench top now (she is watching).......so I cut them on the cutting board, okay fair enough........BUT

how the hell do I get the glad wrap under the sandwich and the cut sandwich off the cutting board without having tomatoes or cheese going everywhere.

bloody tomatoes spilling out the side of the sanger as I try to transfer the sandwich then glad wrap sticking to itself..........Geez I hate that.

Cut it on the board

Put the gladwrap over the top, hold hand on top of it, pick up board, flip it over.
For you, flip it while over the sink in case tomato juice goes flying. See how that goes.

this is exactly what l do haha even used pegs once to hold the glad wrap in place.

another one is constructing the sandwich on the glad wrap.

[poppa smurf]

I think the answer may lie in the size of the board.......at the moment we have one that is 2ft long by 18" wide by 3" thick solid Tassie hardwood, a lovely thing to behold but a very heavy piece of gear.

I'm working on a smaller version using offcuts from the Tassie Oak doors that I am also making, the cutting board MKII should only be 18"L X 12"W X 19mm thick.

This I should be able to manhandle in the manner to which you describe, in theory it should work?

why, should a pin dropped some 5 months ago by my wife in her sewing room end up in MY big toe out in the lounge room, some 30 feet away......where's the equality???

ah! hah! thought about that one, but then how do you cut the sandwich without destroying the glad wrap?

[Uncle Niceguy]

l'll admit that l don't cut my sandwiches anymore since using this method but considering the annoyance the glad wrap causes its worth not cutting.

[MercurySilver]

i dont cut my sandwiches at all, havent since i was a kid

we have the caterers roll of glad wrap that is 100 meters i think
i sit the box down pull the glad wrap out to the length i want it and use the cutter on the box to zip it across and cut the wrap
i then pick my sandwich up OFF THE BREAD BOARD lol and place it on the wrap and fold it over

ive never cut on the kitchen top because our breadboard is always on top of the counter
use it, give it a quick wipe down under the tap and then place it back on the counter

[Vincenzo]

Poppa, real men eat squares not bloody triangles !:peep wall


Cheers Vincenzo - I really do love the places this thread goes

[my_gxl]

I thought he might have been cutting and wrapping for his kids like I am.

[ford71V8]

Its obviously much easier to do what I do.......... "can you please make me a sandwich?"

yeah but then you won't have control as to how the sandwich is constructed, for all you know you'll be copping a ball of saliva haha.

Well you don't just request this from any ol anybody - the one who has been subtly trained is the key here .

(bah, its like she has read this thread, I just got done making the wife a sandwich for the first time in I don't know how long, due to her on crutches as of yesterday!)

as long as you haven't lost the artful skill that is sandwich making you'll be alright

[poppa smurf]

beware...... "she who has been subtly trained" may reek revenge upon her "trainer".

my "trainee" became aware of me snoozing yesterday and emptied the ice tray down the front of my trousers............damn near froze my dangly bits off.
