Wow, it's exciting that she called you guys up. I hope the coordination of all of that works out. That movie looks very interesting and I will look into getting a copy of it myself. I hope I don't cry when I see it.

Thanks for the welcome!

LL - It's called the Borah Symposium at the University of Idaho. It's an annual 3-5 day event where we discuss the causes of war and the pathes to peace. Each year the committee discusses all the options and what theme we want to put on. This year I was lucky enough to be selected for the committee as one of four student. It's made up of eight faculty and four students. We were looking at brining the Liberian President to talk or the Nicaraguan President. We got the call from the Liberian President first that she is doing some kind of book tour in the US about the same time our symposium is next year and would we like her to come. So our committee discussed it and made an offer to her and now we're waiting until July to know for sure if she is come.

In the meantime this documentary film about Liberia was recommended for us to watch. It gives me goosebumps and chills.

Oooooooooooh good one! Have you tried meditation tapes that slip you into theta waves and then into delta?

been there, done that, the lady on this one tape talks too much and on another, the music is weird (kinda like a slow acid trip or ).
no thanx, but I'll pass. this is terrible, most ppl say there bed is calling, but I'm calling my bed and it wont answer me back

Well what about one of those alarm clocks that puts you to sleep with gental nature sounds. They have like a selection of six different sounds. Waves, thunder storms, creeks, jungle sounds, ect....

Sometime to get sleepy I just need to eat so I'm full, shave my legs so it's not prickly, and soak in a hot tub so I'm all muscle relaxed. Then I pass out.

Good Morning! Feelin' pretty good this morning...posted my paper at 11:50pm on the dot, just in time for my 11:59pm deadline! I don't have a life! Writing papers have consumed my very existence

Ahhhhh, to be in grad school again

Omoba are you drowning your sorrows in ice cream and whipped cream??

No idea.

Uno, are you OK?

Uno suffers from insomnia...I figured her comment was about not being able to sleep again last night.

Yes! For sure! Maybe I found YOU, instead.

I started to, but the dogs kept getting me up a few times during the night. By 5 am I said to heck with it and stayed up. It's good sleeping weather today, but I have a lot of running around to do .

That was sooooo long ago I barely remember.
