Thanks for your vote of confidence- why are you up so early?

I'll give you until late Monday evening.

Good luck

It is perfectly O.K. to go for up to 98hrs 7mins 2/3secs without sleep, just so long as you use drugs to help.
Trust me ; I'm like a doctor*.

Exactly like one. Except I don't take any legal responsibility for your death etc. ; Yeah.

I don't know about sleep, but I'm in Cleveland and away from Albuquerque until Tuesday, and I've been here since December 17, so I've been deprived of something else, and I think it is more important than sleep.

Thanks for your vote of confidence- why are you up so early?

Because I'm an insomniac. Ya got a problem wit dat!? 

Get some caffeine to your blood now! I can prescribe it in hypodermics for you...

*Holds out empty hand , whistling*

Cou-$260-gh.

I am totally exempt from everything.

Oh, a 56k connetion isn't too bad - I certainly tolerated one long enough. At least you can get your email.

The problem, IMO, is web design. If you look at the code a byte count, the newfangled formatting options that Microsoft has made standard with Words HTML export, Frontpage, and IE are enormously inefficient. Sad, really. If you haven't already, turn off images, you'll breathe easier. Also try to find the Avant Go formatted web sites. 

3:30 am, Monday morning. No sleep (well, a little dozing in the shower...) for 40 hours.

I'm not talking about my dsl connection at home. What I am talking about is much more important than any internet connection.

I'll make the bold assumption that you are referring to your girlfriend.  Am I right?

Impossible. No woman could be more important than a sufficiently speedy broadband connection.

Oh, and staying up for a really long time is stupid unless you're getting paid to do it for a medical study.

I'll bet all my chrismas money(320 american dollars)* he is wandering the streets of a foreign city... with no clue how he got there as of 9:08:57.

We have a winner. I crashed monday afternoon for 3 hours, much to my eternal shame. This was after 48 solid hours of wakey-wakey. My eyes hurt, my knees hurt, and for some strange reason, the skin on my hands had dried out and turned red. My grandma once toldme that hair only grows at night. Nope, I had to shave.

Monday night at 11 I gave up for real and went to bed. I slept twelve hours in full clothes, including shoes, on top of the covers.

I got up from my afternoon nap to go to the dorkiest new year's eve party ever. How dorky? People started leaving at 11:30. That dorky... but hey, my dad's in love.   

Oh well, maybe I'll make 72 hours next year!

I heard that on the 5th day you start to hallucinate! That's crazy!

...Like seeing cartoon characters sitting in trees.... that are in your room.... which seems to be shirking.... then you start hearing voices.... and then you go to sleep.

Yah, that happened to me once, only I was sick and was not sure if I was just dreaming, it was real weird cause then everything just snapped back to normal.

It's a fun time for all...

(I think this post matches well with my sig.)

gee..., maybe you should have that looked at.
