I do not sleep much. I have permanent nerve damage and chronic severe pain, so I sleep basically when I get so tired my body simply shuts down. My uploads can be any time of the day or night depending on where i am in the cycle. I could have less pain, but I have an aversion to being a vegetable and drooling which was the effect of all the medication it took to attempt to abolish the pain, so now I only take enough to make it barely tolerable and sleep when my body lets me. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rick

I am sorry to hear this, I always feel bad and offer up a meditative prayer for others who have similar problems as I have for you now. I had a Near death experience in 1998 and subsequently do not fear death anymore, I look forward to it when it comes to be my time. Until then I spend my time helping others as I have my whole life. Most people are surprised at how many people there are like us into this hobby and since I have become disabled I find and upload all I can for those like us that cannot afford to buy entertainment and diversion due to illness and fixed incomes. I was ready to pack it in and say bye bye due to the intensity of the pain and my inability help people anymore since I was and still am unable to continue my profession as a Registered Nurse in alternately Psychiatry and the Operating Room. For a few years I practiced my hobby somewhat selfishly and downloaded only from usenet, no uploading anywhere. I amassed a substantial collection but was totally unsatisfied with my life until I found this Safe Harbor for the physically and, monetarily disenfranchised and began to upload heavily and found that it satisfied my inner urge to help people and even though my pain has not changed uploading here in combination with meditation has helped me immensely until the Creator sees fit to call me home. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Rick
