I got a message in my in box when I logged in asking me to donate.
Sorry i'm unemployed right now and cant do it - but I mostly only lurk anyway.
I dont know where the Ask Skinner forum went but wanted to say that.
Thanks for the great forum!
Wish I could post more often or donate but it has been real rough lately and i even had my connection turned off for awhile.
Cheers and hope everything is well with everyone.

Don't sweat it. Just enjoy the site.
Donations are for people with jobs and stable situations. Some day you will have both, and can donate then.

Thanks, I loves me some clarinet!
I just hit 10,000 posts! I am watching Monty Python on TV so all in all I am in a great way right now.
And you?

Nobody seems to get by without bouts of insomnia these days! I have that frequently and it gets bad enough that I end up drugging myself with Benedryl and I hate to do that! For me it is partly my age I think. Typical problem for women my age.

12. been this way forever |
|
2-3 nights on -3 hrs, then i can sleep for about 6 hrs.
no problem sleeping during the day, but i never get anything done that way. probably a career habit; used to work mostly nights.
i imagine the stress has been doing in a lot of us lately.

work nights too and I remember how hard it was to change back and forth and sometimes I just stay up and it feels normal! For a narcoleptic this insomnia has been an odd development. I can sleep anytime, anywhere and if I don't take my meds I do but then those nights come and I just can't figure it out.
Stress has to be a big part of the problem. Stress and worry. Kind of like when we used to have to worry about "The Bomb". We now have to worry again.
I have been hijacking threads all day today and it seems I am getting quite good at it. I think I have about 3 hijacks going right now. Yikes! Sorry to Mick.

I haven't been paid in ages. I can't donate using the money of the folks who are subsidizing my continued miserable existence on this planet.

8. For those of us deeply in debt |
|
due to unemployment, medical bills, etc-donating to DU would be donating money that simply does not belong to us. It isn't ethical, and we shouldn't feel pressured into doing it.

Just the best. Thank you. I have a lump in my throat I can't swallow.
Just totally unbelievable.
I owe you a big one, whoever you are. Thank you. I will make this good over and over again when I can.

I don't know who did it but this is what happens. Don't worry, many of us have been right where you are now. I know I have not come across you before so may I say a very late welcome?

22. Looks like someone has found you worthy! |

Congratulations.
One day, we will all get what we deserve. I will have a job that will give me sufficient financial freedom to provide for my kids and be able to give some to the greatest site on the net.
