                Can you get chamomile tea in Brazil? It's quite tasty and very relaxing, without the diuretic properties of my usual sedative (Budweiser).

                  I used to think too much when I was going to sleep. I'd find myself lying there thinking about everything and nothing all at the same time. I would toss and turn until the wee morning hours. I find that if I veg out, completely relax, and clear my mind of everything, I never have any problems falling alseep. So relax, don't think about anything (don't even think about not thinking about anything), and enjoy your rest. :) Works for me. I can only hope it works for you. Jon Sagara What about :bob:?

I did not find anything derogatory to anyone or anything in what David said in his original post. The first derogatory statement in your exchange with David was made by you, Martin: Martin Marvinski wrote: Just because England is a backwards country doesn't excuse you from posting such chauvinistic rhetoric online. I live in US, but I've come here from Russia and I know first hand how it feels when someone who knows nothing about your country throwing insulting statements like that at you. "You Russians...", "You Brits...", "You --insert any country, nationality, religion--..." I find your statement about England to be ignorant and insulting. And it is your apology to David that is due as far as I concern.

                                  What David Wulff means is that whenever he is stressed out, he goes to his wife or girlfriend and uses their bodies for sexual release, thereby giving him a state of relaxation and comfort. He is also recommending that everyone else have the same types of relationships with women as he does, i.e., merely using the female form as a stress reliever or a human toilet.

                                      Is the lack of sleep disturbing your waking hours? Maybe you don't need those hours of sleep you are trying to get? Are your dreams waking you up? Or are you just not getting to sleep? When I am having trouble falling asleep, what I do is: **1)**exercise for at least 1/2hour **2)**start warming some milk **3)**hop in a warm shower **4)**drink some warmed milk with Baileys (I see honey was suggested,that would work too) **5)**lie in bed and read a dry book until I fall sleep I usually don't make it though a page! good luck :-) qomi "Don't compromise yourself.

                                        LOL :laugh: what nice polite terms you use To clarify :-O though I am sure you know the answer! Yes, anal sex done properly is a pleasurable experience on the receiving end. And in fact there are probably more endorphins released during anal sex for the receiver, since the purpose of endorphins is to act as an anaesthetic. As in 'a runners high'. However, it doesn't work if you are on the giving end of oral sex, unless you are receiving at the same time. Better? qomi "Don't compromise yourself. It's all you've got." - Janis Joplin

                                          Lets have others comment on it. I believe that you meant what you inferred and are now embarrased. I bet that others will read your orginal post the same way I have. If they don't, then I appologise, but if everyone agrees that you meant it that way, I retract my appology.

                                          I'm with David on this Martin. Jeesh, I couldn't disagree with you more. I really think your heavy handed comment is really ignorant. I'd like to say more, but I since I don't know you, it's not fair to say what I'm thinking.
