Nostradamus

[Louweasel]

[Napoleon]never swore war against the rest of the world. .

He did declare war on people! He tried to invade us! We didn't have the Battle of Trafalgar for fun you know! And Tchaikovsky didn't write the 1812 overture in celebration of Napoleon popping over to Russia to say hello!

Napoleon declared war on every country he could, put himself and his relatives on the thrones of the countries he defeated, wasted millions of lives not just in war but also through his odious systematic despotic tyrrany unmatched till Stalin. He was held off by the British Royal Navy on the seas, and the Russians checked his advance beyond Europe. He was soundly defeated at last by a coalition of allies, was exiled, escaped, came back to Paris in triumph, raised another army, declared war on the world again, and was finally defeated for real by a coalition led by Wellington in a series of battles at Waterloo.

But to get back to the topic, Nostradamus is a lot of bunk, and even so he didn't write the words this thread was based on.

Yeah, that's the point....all 3 of them attempted to take over the world. I THINK that they're the only world leaders who were really in a position to do so. Not, needless to say, counting President Bush.

Sorry, just kidding. I had to put that in there.

Sarah, isn't it "hear"? (Brits, back me up!)

Yes, it is. I'm just running on very little sleep and even less food so my mind is just wiped. Heheh... you should have heard my talking to my mom earlier. "Hey mom! Guess how much sleep I received last night!" "How much?" "Seven hours!" "ooh! That's good for you! Especially lately." "yeah.. I fell asleep around two-thirty and then woke up at eight-thirty" "Um, Sarah? I think that your math is off, that's only six hours." "Oh.. ok, well that's still more than Friday!" "hehehe.."

[Louweasel]

I can't believe you're allowed tostay upuntil two thirty! I had to be in bed at ten every school night until I left school at 18! So Ialways had eleven hours and went to school fully refreshed. I know you are homeschooled, but presumably you still have to get up and do your work.
At 27 I still try to get (and usually succeed) eight hours a night, which means bed at 10:30. I know some people need less than that but everyone needs a decent night's sleep to function properly, and the younger you are, the more you need. In your teens, going to bed in the small hours is just not good for you.

Anyone got any oats for my high horse?!

[Louweasel]

Oops, just read your post again and realised you said "fell asleep" not "went to bed" so assume yo are having trouble sleeping? That's worrying at your age -any idea what's causing it? Perfectly willing to stick my oar in and try to help if you like!
As for not eating - *wags finger* - now that is naughty! Sort it out! Again, you need to eat properly and regularly to function well, stay healthy and grow properly, especially in your teens. (my high horse needed some more exercise)

Eight hours per night? Sheesh...I was in bed by 2330 last night, and considered it quite an accomplishment!

Four or five hours a night for several weeks? No problem.

[scrapinpeg]

I have been living happily with 5 or 6 hours a night tops for about 20 years now, and it suits me just fine.

Lou, you went to bed at 10 and slept 11 hours, so got up at 9am, and then went to school? What time does school start there? I remember having to get up at 5ish to be ready for the damn bus that took an hour and a half to gather all the kids up before getting to school by 7:45. Class started at 8.

Lou, you went to bed at 10 and slept 11 hours, so got up at 9am, and then went to school?

Sorry I am stupid and counted in the wrong direction.I meant 9 hours.
I woke at seven, read and drank my tea until half past, left the house at ten past eight, got to school at twenty to nine, five minutes before the bell went.

I'd go mad with that little sleep. Seriously. I'd start to bite people with my weaselly fangs...

[Soldier]

I do fine, until I have too much caffeine. Then I kind of go insane (like the day after election day).

Ah, I remember the Good Ole Days in high school, when I didn't wake up until 0700, 0730 if I was quick, and 2330 was a late night...and I'd usually been in bed already, just reading up to that point. And math only took an hour to do, at most... And I had a car... And I got to leave the house more than just on weekends... And wear whatever I wanted...

Nostalgia just ain't what it used to be.

[Black Jeebus]

I live on probably three-four hours of sleep a night for 4-5 weeks or so and then one weekend I just crash dead in my bed for 10-16 hours...

After a weekend of rest the late nights start again...

[mrbiggs]

I go to bed around midnight and wake up at 6:30, and my body hates me for it.

I went to bed at 10 before I discovered this website....

[foildad]

Did Nostrudomas predict the new timings?

[Soldier]

I just went to bed at five this morning, got up again at seven...

Foildad, are you raising good foilchildren?
