    Why do people keep putting these weird symbols after their posts? I'm an old man, I can barely understand :-)! That keeps me awake too!

    My brain going over all the conversations I had that day in my head and changing them into different scenarios where I have witty comebacks.

    My gold fish keeps me awake.

    He cannot see the the outline of the bowl when i turn the lights out and he keeps hitting of it making noise. Sometimes he blows these little bubbles out of his mouth that rise to the surface and 'pop' just as i am about to sleep.

    More serious than a volcano?

    Remember Pompeii!

    Or Krakatoa!
