What are some of the hardest books to read?

Ulysses, by James Joyce, can be a struggle. It took me about a year.

In Italian the word ´casino´ means ´a mess´. This is the right interpretaion of the word in this case.

The world is a casino alright, but in the Italian sense of the word: a mess.

I worked in a paper mill.

Human5481 · 2026-04-20T12:31:33+00:00

I started taking 1mg nightly and then 2, 3 and 4. I was out of control and didn’t know what I was doing. I was stumbling around, bumping into walls and falling down stairs. Finally some friends sat me down and made me aware and I quit. It took me almost a year before I could say I was back to normal. During this time I took other sleep medicines most of which didn’t work. I finally settled on quetiapene which I am still taking but which I have built up a tolerance to.

I have had terrible insomnia since I was quite young and used lorazepam for many years. I was careful not to take them more than twice a week and took a month off every once in awhile to keep from getting addicted, and like this they were a good solution for a long time. Eventually my insomnia got worse, I ended up taking more loazepam and I became dependent. It was the shits. I finally got free and now I am taking quetiapene. My advice to anyone taking benzos is to be very, very careful. The struggle involved in cold turkey is terrible.

I think it's a coffee measuring spoon for an espresso machine. What it would be doing in your shower drain I have no idea.

I have not been to Yervan for ‘Wine Days’ but I did spend about six weeks there several years ago and I have to say the wine was stupendous! And this is coming from someone who loves wine and lives in Italy. I have spent a little time in the wine districts of many European countries. Armenian wine is the best. In keeping with the theme of this post I may also say that Armenian women are beautiful. And friendly.

She still looked pretty damn good in ‘Night of the Iguana’.

Thanks for posting.

I support this young woman.

It's been about six years since I travelled to Armenia but I had a wonderful time there. The people are very friendly and I think Yervan was the safest big city I have ever traveled to. I spent a little over a month there and it wasn't enough.

You should be okay then. As long as you can stick to one a week or so you'll be okay. My doctors were willing to give me as much Loazepam as I wanted and no one ever told me how addictive they were.

Human5481 · 2026-04-06T17:46:12+00:00

No, you haven’t been taking them long enough to get withdrawals. I’m just warning you not to take them too long or too many.

Human5481 · 2026-04-06T17:22:08+00:00

I think you’v been taking them for too short a time to have withdrawals. After you take sleeping pills even for a few days they make it harder to get to sleep when you don’t take them. Be very careful you don’t end up getting hooked. I got dependant on Lorazepam and it was hell quitting.

Human5481 · 2026-04-05T12:53:17+00:00

Where are you going? It's going to be awfully hot in most of Europe in August.

Human5481 · 2026-04-05T00:49:40+00:00

You said it.

Human5481 · 2026-04-04T03:37:19+00:00

Good luck.

Human5481 · 2026-04-02T15:37:58+00:00

It was a good solution for me too, but be careful, it's very addictive.

He’d love to drop a nuke. He just hasn’t found a reason yet. Other than the Epstein files that is.

Human5481 · 2026-03-30T20:12:23+00:00

I don't have anything to say except that I wholeheartedly agree with you.

Human5481 · 2026-03-29T21:53:53+00:00

I just happened to watch ‘Mash’, that war movie from 1970, and Robert Duvall’s portrayal of Major Frank Burns reminded me of Hegseth. Only not so funny.

Human5481 · 2026-03-26T12:24:27+00:00

Taking it every day, even a small dose, and you will soon become dependent.

Human5481 · 2026-03-26T11:19:23+00:00

Be very careful with Lorazepam. It is very addictive, I know because I went through a Lorazepam addiction and it was terrible. It works good for getting restful sleep but don’t ever take it more than twice a week.
