Bob Underhill was the hotshot that put up all the major FAs in the early days and he was hanging out with this chick Miriam O'Brien, who he later married (RIP CI/RIP znupe). The did a season in the Alps and Miriam started climbing almost exclusively with other women. This was before the term "First Female Ascent". Because at that time most climbing was done with a guide who would lead the whole thing (given that protection was basically nonexistent) climbs were reported as either "guided" or "guideless", Miriam would jokingly use the term "manless" for her FFAs.
Cool! Sounds like a fun presentation.

I hate to say it, but the fly has a poynte!
G-G, what was the "natural" pill you took? Melatonin? I've had mixed results with it, when I went through a sleepless tossing phase a couple of years back. It seemed to work better when I took it regularly in the evening before bed, for couple weeks. Some people say they've had good results with Valerian extract. It certainly is one of my Mom's favorite remedies. Don't know if it works, but i used to like the taste of it, as a kid.
I've been sleeping really well since I started doing yoga regularly again, this past month. Might be worth a try?

He does have a poynte, but I don't realy have that option during the week.
The pill has a bunch of crap in it, but it does have melatonin. I'll probably try it again tonight and hopefully you're right.

Come on, do I need to call jack to explain toys and things here? Gerks should know better.
Never tried that one. Looks like a lot of stuff in it, and yeah, valerian, too.
Hope it gets better. Nothing is worse than chronic sleep deprivation.

Seriously, you don't think I haven't tried that option? Something about a good ol' fashioned romp in the hay though.
What does valerian do? My next option is to start pounding back the benadryl. Diphenhydramine is the main ingrediant in many sleeping pills.

Valerian is meant to be more of a general calming/relaxation thing.
Benadryl never worked for me, I have taken it for allergies, and that time when I got the sting of whatever winged critter caused my leg to swell to twice it's normal size. That time with the sting I was actually taking a really high dose of it (Dr. Bob O.K.'ed it) and still, not feeling like I was sleepy at all.

Yeah, just give it the old wank and then fall asleep. Married, single, whatever... we all love endorphins.

They need to know that cutting boards are useful, and that the wrist-flick blade into pit method is far safer. Spare the graphic image of an impaled hand, spoil the child.

You wouldn't believe it, but they really are big fans of cutting boards. And I have shown them a method of avocado pit extraction that does not involve flicking blades, or stabbing hands. I am a no-fun boring mommy type, what can I say?

I'm a fan of the blade flick technique. Mostly because if you do it with a large knife, you can then use it to throw the pit, atlatl style, at enemies.

I am too scary, my enemies never dare to get so close to me that they would be in the range of my atlatl.
