Why dont you try "super sleep" from costco...its herbal...I take that instead too...it works not too bad.

[Angry White Male]

Melatonin, Herbal remedies, etc...  Honestly?  Real pharmaceuticals just work the best.  They have the highest powah!~

Why are you complaining about me using zopiclone?



Are ok with your tax dollars going twords drug addicts for methadone and shoot up clinics??



Zopiclone is not covered by the ministry btw...you have to pay for it yourself.  There are many prescription drugs that the ministry does not cover (and some of them are nesseccary for people on pwd) dont think that those who live off social assistance are getting the goods, cause they are not...only the addicts get it all.

A buddy of mine lives fairly close to a busy track that runs freight 24/7 here, with numerous crossings nearby.



He's convinced some conductors make more of a racket in the middle of the night with the air horn than others do.



My opinion was that I couldn't see why some would do that, but I suppose it's a possibility.



So, is his hunch correct?  Can a conductor make excessive racket with the horn should he desire to?  Or are the horn blast lengths and timing strictly regulated and controlled?

Everything we do is strictly regulated by Transport Canada through the Canadian Rail Operating Rules. The rules with whistles and horns at crossings are clear unless there is an agreement with a municipality that changes it.



Oh and it's the engineer that sounds horns and whistles not the conductor.

I remember you mentioning before that there are so many rules it makes it difficult to do your job.

Yes...but if you cant get access to it, then the super sleep is pretty good.



Many people today suffer from insomnia or related issue.  Did you know you can buy liquid melatonin in the US?

You can buy it here too.  I know, since I have in the past...  The cap is actually part of the "syringe" that you use to suck up the mixture.

I never seen it.



Funny thing with me, I like going herbal and natural but for some reason, its easy for me to get prescriptions.

[Angry White Male]

I think I bought it at Shopper's...

A lot of it depends on the Doktor on duty also.  Today, there was actually a sign on the counter that said, "Doctor on duty does not prescribe sleeping pills or benzodiazepines like Valium."



Guess I'm lucky I got anything at all from him.  Some Doktors are more 'liberal' than others...  And I deal with a walk-in clinic, so rarely do you get the same Doktor twice in a row...

That is why.  I have a family doc...I been seeing her regularly for 7 years.  I always check in...she knows everything about me...it pays to stick to and have a good doc.

[Angry White Male]

Family Doktors are often hard to find, and the one I had as a kid/teen was more interested in delivering babies than being available for his clients (weeks to book an appointment), so I've just went to a walk-in ever since...



Tried to go to the same walk-in for the last few years, so at least they have my history in the files.

try finding a doctor with experience delivering twin Kraut Mongoloid babys.

Odinson was able to find one to deliver his pretend triplets, so it can't be that difficult.

With my job, the struggle is to stay awake. Falling asleep is easy.

You know it and the government and public keep wanting more cumbersome rules in the CROR. I have a little over seven years until I retire in my tropical paradise. It can't come soon enough.
