needing witches brew

i HOPE YOUR CONDITION GETS BETTER SOON. GUESS THAT'S UP TO U TO GO TO BED AT A DECENT HOUR.

I advice you to unplug the t.v. for that time of the day, or night if you prefer, and go to sleep early. You can always see the results on the internet in the morning, but you can't regain your sleeping hours if you were to stay up all night. Good luck, and sweet dreams!!! xD

very simple, record it

Try hot black coffee with no sugar.

hi dawn oh my g i am missing the figure skating part and thats what I love most of the Winter Olympics, can I get this anywhere on my computer? half the time the big tvs down stair are overtaken by people who are into anything else but the olympics. here I am missing the best part of the olympics. I remember I used to stay up so late I could hardly keep my eyes open just to see the figure skating. I am going to check in to see if I can see anything on the skating part of the olympics on my computer. drink a lot of black hot coffee, it will keep you awake.

Hiya dawn, Unpluggeth ye the Evil electric Box no need for that putteth ye the Dvr to record when the Skating is on and look at it much later on sayeth me on the morrow. Yea tis much more exciting to watch what ye might think ye hath missed yea therefore tis big surprise like watching who won the Pairs Ice Skating Yesterday twas more of a surprise to me I telleth the the truth. Looketh me out for the American and Russian Pairs but alas the transmission time was very short and me couldeth only watch the end bit of it. Yes but it was worth watching. Thats the only remedy I have is the one they have already got made they only transmit the end bits of everything. Bit like sitting down to watch a Film and in about ten minutes you´ve got settled it puts The End. On rare occasions they will put a Film on time exactly how it says on the Teletext but you can never rely on it to be exactly on time. Like I said the end bits are the best bits but also the middle bits they show you on another Channel which you have to go looking for and I don´t have the time any day of the week it´s just potluck. Anyway I watched the recorded end bit of the pairs yesterday and I thought that they were all good it´s just the enormous unfair pressure they put on them that puts a spanner in the works. Chinese Couple that won I have not seen them skate for four years or more and they have come up much better in expression this time now they have nailed it much better than before. Canadians were good too just the pressure got to them even to the Russians. I missed not seeing Julia Obertas and whoever her partner now is because I know she had problems finding the right Skating Partner because of her height. Think that she must have turned professional a really talented Girl indeed. I also feel that the Chinese Girl with the Russian Partner is much more capable of doing more but there was real pressure on her to do well and that´s what spoiled them sorry if I have it wrong as her name is Yoko bit confusing that however they said that she was Chinese Nationality so I take their word for it they make a good couple. Every so often I do a bit of research into whats happening. Will Sash Cohen be skating in the Ladies on Friday as she is very talented too. Time is my big thing here as I cannot be on here very much. Hope you enjoy the rest of it too. I have recorded some snowboarding which I like and skiing too but will watch in spare time who knows when that will be. Good viewing.

3 tea spoons of espresso coffee, 3 spoons of sugar, espresso coffee maker. Make a coffee add some sugar and maybe heavy cream on the top. It is very heavy, but does the job.

Apart from a hefty dose of will power, which I already know will not be acceptable, I can only suggest that you go to bed early and set the alarm for midnight or whenever the ice skating is on. Broken sleep is better than no sleep. Alternatively you could try explaining your addiction to your boss and pleading for sick leave? No, I guess not . . .

I have also fallen victim to the disease......besides zombie-itis, I am not paying attention to phone calls etc...giving only half my attention to the party that called while staring at the tv watching the flips and falls.....good thing it's only for a week!

Ha! Great minds think alike. I was tweeting this just now, Olympics yay or not something like that. And then I read your post and like bam! Well, we are getting it via satellite here too; some highlights are cool. And I understand your situation, hehe. Drink coffee? Bad advice. But it works for me. And oh yeah, just listen to your iPod.. and go to sleep.

You shoulda thought of this earlier, booked your vacation time, and come here to Canada to see them LIVE, in person. But it's too late for that now, isn't it?

I have a truly miracle cure, It's called time, within less than two weeks all will return to normal and this special time of disease will be over. In fact most likely you will remember it with fondness.

Well, you just know I was going to be "here". But you are in good company with all the skating junkies (you should see my Facebook news feed - all my skating friends are fuming about the time)! Sorry, there is no cure for Winter Olympic zombie-itis . . . you have to get your "live" fix and know that is was indeed worth having this dreaded disease! I'm already a zombie as I have a baby here - so hey, maybe have a wee one because you will be up anyway - hee hee!!

Hmm, Prime Time is sacred here too. Which means that you get Winter Olympics prime time, as there is nothing more sacred than the Winter Olympics :-) I'm not sure what spell would work, maybe you need one to send you to Norway for the duration of the games. But if you had one like that, you could just as well go to Canada to see everything live. So what you need is a spell to turn the ones who decide what to send when on TV into Norwegians ...

I'm no help. There's nothing on earth that's going to put me to sleep faster than sport ..and especially figure skating. The last time that I watched that, Torville and Dean were the thing...

Maybe a nap right after you come home from work? zzzzzzzzzzz

I had a very similar condition when the Australian Open was on here. I walked around every day like “lights are on but there’s nobody home” but it was worth it. I agree you can’t tape it and watch it later; it’s just not the same. I’m afraid the only cure is abstinence and if you are not willing to do that, the only thing I can suggest is lots of coffee, tape for the eyelids and you may consider talking the odd day off sick...

Your wish is my command. Just take 1 part Vodka, 2 parts orange juice, pour over ice. Sip while setting the DVR to record your favorite show.
