Anyone else like herbal teas of the alternative medicine variety? 
I've been on the search for something that will keep my mind alert without tiring out my sensitive adrenals.
The caffeine in green tea is mild enough for me, but it still gives me insomnia sometimes.

I know that Yellow Dock and L-Arginine are both things that your body can sometimes need and they have both helped me tremendously with being alert and keeping my brain going. I'll look into some things and get back to you with more info.

I am currently experimenting with ginkgo tea, it's awesome. And I have tried gotu kola tea (it tastes like cow food but it clears my head so I like it!).
I haven't heard of some of these. Good to have a list of new possible herbs to research. This will be fun.
Thanks!
Okay, I have a really funny, clean joke!
While crossing the US-Mexican border on his bicycle, the man was stopped by a guard who pointed to two sacks the man had on his shoulders.
"What's in the bags?", asked the guard.
"Sand," said the cyclist.
"Get them off, so we can take a look," said the guard.
The Cyclist did as he was told, emptied the bags, and proving they contained nothing but sand, reloaded the bags, put them on his shoulders and continued across the border. Two weeks later, the same thing happened. Again the guard demanded to see the two bags, which again contained nothing but sand. This went on every week for six months, until one day the cyclist with the sand bags failed to appear.
A few days later, the guard happened to meet the cyclist downtown.
"Say friend, you sure had us going crazy", said the guard. "We knew you were smuggling something across the border. I won't say a word - but what is it you were smuggling?"
"Bicycles!"
I love this joke, but then again, I can have a cheesy sense of humor at times.
The only way to get through this life is to laugh anyway. the world is so tough, if we couldn't have a little humor, it would eat us up.
Oh, by the way, pray for my family. Especially my grandmother. She's getting older and is in good health right now, but it's a roller coaster every day. My family could use a little strength too. We all take turns, so she has someone with her constantly and I'm working ten hour shifts from 8 pm-6 am, watching her while she sleeps. It's tiring, but with God we can do all things. Thanks!

Beats me as to why everyone else uses them, but I've used a wolf avatar ever since I joined here. Wolves have always fascinated me and as a species they have always gotten a bad rap from humans. They are fiercely loyal among family, one of the few canine species that mate for life, and likewise one of the few canine species that the father helps raise his young.

So eehh well what can I share? Mexico won against Japan and we are (''we''because I'm part of the team of course) competing for the gold against Brasil !
!
Anyways, aside from all the fun in the sun, and fun in the monsoon season rain, I remember the World Cup was going on, and that was the year USA beat Mexico. I'm not a big soccer (or futbol, whateverrrrr) fan, but who isn't during the World Cup while you're staying in Mexico? Anyway, I'm PRETTY SURE I'm lucky to be alive right now, since while they were chanting "MEXICO, MEXICO" throughout the game, I was chanting "USA, USA" at the end of it. They were NOT happy with me lol.
Oh, and I've never seen a town literally shut down like it did during the World Cup that year. Nobody was in the streets, and nobody was doing anything but watching that game. I was told later that a lot of them had plans to jump me after the game, but they decided they liked me too much to do that to me lol. I guess I'm lucky for that. Sometimes it's probably better to NOT know the local language, specifically since I didn't know a thing until I was told later.
