What's on your mind?

[Travelers.Soul]

Maybe I should head to bed as well... I am starting to feel better but don't want to push it too much. I have important things to do Friday and I don't want to miss it.
@Swan7 I hope you're feeling better. I know you weren't feeling very well the other day.

I just heard that a judge has tossed the copyright that a music label was claiming on the Happy Birthday song. That being copyrighted is one of the most asinine things I ever heard....

I thought it was copyrighted by the people who wrote it. (Just googled it and I see it was owned by some company instead.)
It's not uncommon for music to be copyrighted - even if it's popular. I'm not sure how music copyright works - but I know that when it comes to books the copyright lasts until so many years after copyright date or death of the author. It seems like its a lot more complicated when companies get involved.

Oh absolutely. The copyright on Take Me Out to the Ballgame was in place until 1984, and the Jeopardy! Think! music is still copyrighted. However, the birthday song was written well before either of those two, and what I considered so ridiculous is how any music producer would be claiming a valid copyright so long after the passing of the composers of the piece.

Sometimes it's so easy to find a comfortable position to sleep in and some nights you could toss and turn for an endless amount of hours. Why??

 

[William67]

Because you are either too tired to relax or you cant settle your mind enough to fall asleep.

Cause if you fell asleep every night with ease..... the sheep would get bored.... run off on a murdering rampage..... that is why we all must take turns counting them. If they were allowed to simply roam free without a roll call...... it would be anarchy.

Im a bull..... trust me on this.

Interesting theory haha won't the sheep need to sleep after all that rampaging? Who helps sheep sleep

Well, I can only explain by example. When I was a young man, I had a job with a construction company building a set of loading bays for a trucking company. For 10 hours a day I shoveled, spread, and compacted sand. I was so completely exhausted that I was physically shaking by the end of my shift. After going home, showering, eating a good meal, and trying to relax, I could not go to sleep. I was so tired, every muscle in my body ached. Once my muscles had relaxed, they began to cramp. I finally lost consciousness, I cant say I actually fell asleep, around 2am and had to be up and on the job site again by 7am the next morning. The next morning my muscles had "settled sore" and I could barely stand. Its what they used to refer to as being "bone tired".

You are in luck, my friend is a sheep. I just asked my friend if sheep ever have a hard time sleeping...... all they said was NAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

Its odd though, I got the same answer when I asked how many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop....

Ahh..I see now. And wow 10 hours a day of so much exhaustion sounds brutal. Did you have to just wait out the muscle soreness?

No. I did the same thing the next day, and the next, until it was time to lay the seal, rebar, and concrete. Eventually, you get accustomed to that type of labor. But, you have to eat like a horse or you will get sick.

Hahaha well that was great. I do hope I fall asleep soon though. And I can't fall asleep to a good show or movie because I can't for the life of me decide what to watch

Have you tried a form of self-hypnosis? Try clearing your mind, then close your eyes. Imagine you are in a calm, quiet place. Focus on all the things around you in this imaginary location. My place is located in the mountains, in a quiet field. There is a gentle stream running nearby. It can actually help.

I had a horrible sleep and a weird dream! I kept coughing a lot. Nights are the worst for me when sick.

Looking at bridesmaids dresses for my niece's wedding. crazy stuff right there.

I hope you feel better soon and get some rest! I am finally feeling better...not 100% but much better than I did Sunday or Monday.

The craziness of shopping for a wedding is unparalleled. My best friend is getting married next year, here is the color. The picture doesn't do it justice. It is much brighter, think fuchsia.

I ended up watching this documentary. But that's a really good idea! I'll be sure to try that next time. Hope you're having a blessed day!
