Methinks someone (no names cthia) has too much time on his hands.

Methinks someone (no names mind you) is correct, if less than 5 hours of sleep daily is... too much time.

I keep telling my wife the same thing that I have too much time on my hands since she's been away. She's off on a three week vacation bonding with my sisters. PLUS, I rarely get 8 hrs of sleep anyways. Research. Do people still get 8 hrs sleep?

Always surrounded by several computers all day. 1 winblows. 7 Linux. 1 supercomp. And a couple androids that I rarely use. 2 Sharps. Several Gumstix and enough Raspberries to make wine. Or pie. But through it all, without coffee mind you, I still find time to stop and smell the roses, and laugh.

Laughter keeps one young. It is one reason my wife says she was drawn to me. My youthful personality.

But between us, I'm pretty darn sure its the good looks and charm. And ahem...

I think cthia's fundamental problem is Honorverse Withdrawal.

E-Arc! E-Arc! E-Arc!

I don't. I made do with 4 hours at a time at sea (4 on, 4 off PLUS having other tasks like refueling at sea, flight quarters (on a DD no dedicated flight deck crew,) drills, "regular" work plus as division LPO personnel issues.

Sleep? You can sleep when you're dead or retire. After 20 years "retirement" I've finally managed to train myself to "sleep in" for an extra 1.5 to 2 hours. I still roll out at 5 AM to go to work for an 8 hour day and an hour commute each way.

LOL!

I was sworn under court order not to talk of this for a total of 5 years.


Now, the statue of limitations has run out...

David Weber's fans are called Celerians.

A bit of overheard discussion inside the Onion.

"Damn stupid Manticorans. TWTSNBN is the MAlign."

Iris Babcock once told Honor "You don't land like a salamander."

A bonded interogator let aboard Imperator to question a suspected Mesan operative...


"Sorry for the mess Honor. My name is Occam. My 'Cats name is Razors."

Far into the future, Beth and Eloise have grandkids and they meet while they are only 9-yrs-old. They came to be very good friends in the end, but it was a rocky beginning right from the start, with Beth's grandchild bragging just a bit about what transpired right before the forming of the GA. It went a little something like this...

Young tried to rape Honor, but she wasn't going to take it lying down.

BREAKING NEWS

A very old wiretapping of a secret meeting in the House of Lords reminiscent of the Watergate scandal of yore is found and "leaked" to the public. Parts of audio is inaudible as the subject seems to be spouting incoherent vehemence through gritted teeth...

"Have you all gone mad! That out of control lunatic simply cannot be allowed to have a seat in the Lords!"

"Why not?"

" " ...

"BECAUSE IT'D ONLY BE A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THAT HOLIER-THAN-THOU JUMPED-UP BASEBORN BITCH..."

"#@&%$" (bleep)

"#%$@#@##@$@#$@#$" (inaudible)

"@%&%" (bleep)

"IS LORD OF THE WHOLE PHUCKING REALM!"

After some time has passed...



" Just as I warned you idiots. Now she's

LORD OF THE WHOLE FUCKING REALM

THE TWO KINGDOMS!"
