Mescalero, I've been enjoying the Youtubes you've posted. And not all of us need to be, or should be, a Chatty McBlatheronn.

Had to get a new central heat and air unit - couldn't find parts for my old one. But that's one thing done. Everything is drying out due to the nice weather that moved in. Got fans blowing into the crawl space. Tore out the damaged drywall in three rooms. Re-insulated the walls, and hung new drywall today. Lost the artwork I made for Christmas presents, and lots of sketchbooks, and notes, but have lots more art inside my head - so no real loss there. I didn't have any furniture downstairs except my table. I live minimalist - just have a bed, table, drawing board, easel, and massage table - and except for the table they were upstairs, so no loss there. Made the clean-up much easier than it would have been otherwise.
Can't complain. At least I'm off this week to get the job done. Will tape and mud the drywall joints tomorrow, put down primer if everything dries fast enough, and be ready to paint on Sunday. At least the floors weren't ruined.
Lauri suggested moving. What?!? And miss all this?!?
Crazy girl! What good is homeownership if you don't have to fight off swarms of locusts, pull drunk driver-driven vehicles out of your living room, ward off meteor strikes, and other "acts of God" not covered by your homeowner's insurance? I figure once I've fixed everything, the earth will swallow the whole house. Then, by Jiminy, I'll move. But not 'til then. I'm going down with the ship! ARRRRHHH!Thanks for the words of encouragement all! I'm going to bed, if I can find it in the rubble... (my place is looking more and more like the physical embodiment of the Dino-Aspie Ex-Cafe'.
oooooooo ooo. {insert wincing emoticon here}

Don't worry if you don't think you have anything to say. Just read the posts of most of the old farts. Sometimes I think this place is full of wind!
Speak up, man! Though by the look of you avatar you may not bring sanity to the place!!
Windy Old Fart saith that sanity is not necessarily a good thing or a requirement for cafe membership....
Hi, WOF!! !

EEE gads.....
maybe Chuck can weigh into this when he is done rebuilding his home.I just wanted to warn anyone who might have considered the 5-HTP route to help with depression,appitite and sleeping(the most common uses).Evidently it can cause right heart valve problems when taken with more then 10mg vit.B6?That information was from a DR but written in 1994,so maybe invalid info.
According to him,it is the same thing that happens to "islanders" from a specific(or was the Pacific,lol) place that ate a large amount of green babanas(they have a lot of seritonin in them,as does pinapple 
)and the seritonin does not cross the blood brain barrier and stays in the blood and then something happens(alchemy)in the lungs converting it to something that causes fyroids in the heart valve
Chuck...does any of this make sense to you?I think if you dont take B6 suppliments(I do)and just get it from your food the 5-HTP is converted into a seritonin that CAN cross the barrier but to much B6 causes a different chemical process.
Guess I will skip the B6 vit. and keep researching possible problems(no warning on the label,part of the problem with herbs/vit/etc)

Either, I don't have the life experience, or intelligence.
so many peoples posts i love reading, and being a part of....i'm not just a lurker, i just don't see where i can offer anything
but I like being a part of the creaky thing
I know how you feel about the lack of life experience or intelligence. I feel like that most of the time, actually. So I just post and if someone acknowledges it great, if they think I'm an airhead they're all too kind to tell me. It works.
