Maybe it's time to talk to your doctor? Good luck and I hope you get a nice but not too long nap later

Thanks, Figgy…!!!
Yes, it may be time to talk to my doc.
I even took melatonin last night about 30 mins. before bed.
I don’t really feel tired, and it’s sooo peaceful this time of the morning, but, I know it’ll catch up to me at some point if I don’t get it figured out….

What is unique in parts of NJ while visiting is that some of the small town gas stations have 2-6 gas pumps, one attendant to pump your gas, and a two car garage for the local mechanic to fix your car . The bathroom is on the outside of the building and the place looks like from the 1960s. I've seen also a WaWa with about 20 pumps and one attendant to pump your gas. Pack a little patience while you are at it. You can't even pump your own gas if you wanted to. The attendant access the pumps with their own security code.

Oh yea, I remember stations like that from back in the day here, too. To access the bathroom, you had to get a key from the attendant that was attached to a toilet seat, or some other large object, so the key was less likely to be run off with…!!!!!
All those types of stations around here were either repurposed for another business, or torn down and replaced with another business structure.
I was into cars at a young age, and I had this gas station play set, at one point. It had plastic attendants in uniform, cars, etc.
It was was something like this, and man, did I ever love it…!!!!!

A neat savings trick if Target still honors it is get free Target money on a gift card. If you get a gift card from another company, turn it into Target customer service, and get a Target gift card instead.

Just a note (if they're still selecting specific store cards) -- a few years ago they introduced this "trade" card program. However, they had SPECIFIC store cards that they would accept only. So if the program is still offered, be sure to check out the details of which cards they will take in.

Damn, the insomnia.
I’ll just try to nap later.
But, not too much, as I’ll need to try to sleep tonight for work tomorrow…maybe…?

I think I just figured out your (lack of) sleep problem. You may need to adjust it a bit.

Fortunately, our mattress isn’t that lumpy…although, maybe if it was, I might sleep better…?!?!?!!!!!

Have you tried a weighted blanket? Dh has one and the only problem is he sleeps so soundly he has issues getting up

One guy who is retired I work out with was in the Navy on an aircraft carrier 6 months out of the year. Working 16 hours a day 7 days a week he had no problem collapsing in his rack to fall asleep for a few hours every day.

When Wawa opened up in FL about 10 years ago, the NJ transplants rejoiced!

I may have wandered over when we were down

I've also heard of those. My question is, would they be hot (considering the "weight")? Do you know anyone who's tried them yet?

If you went to the Wawa by Sea World Orlando it was the first Wawa to open in FL. I read it was a big hoopla at the grand opening even Governor Scott came to the event.

Never been to a Wawa, because we don't have them up here. Is it kinda like a 7-11, but better overall?

Has anyone watched the show, Jay Leno's Garage? I saw it last night, and it was really fun. Jay's discussions with his guests are really funny and interesting. (Last night he had on Ray Liotta (Goodfellas, and many more movies), and Sugar Ray Leonard, (famous boxer) and a few other guests.) There are many different types of cars that he highlights, too, and I like watching them drive around these classic cars.

I've been, good sandwiches 24/7 and I think a more varied food and drink menu than 7-11.

Yes, I’ve seen it several times, before, and since I’m a car guy, I love it…Leno himself owns nearly 150 cars, worth about $12 million…!!!!!!!
