Hey, 

  I might like to plan something like that. I am a California native, but have been in Oregon for 2 years... I also have wanted something on the West Coast, but I have never been to Michigan. It would be fun to meet all of you! Carla

  I will go!!. I have a 71 Volkswagen Bus all I need to do is paint some
flowers and spots on it put us some curtains and it is ready to go. Lots of
bumper stickers as well, with the peace symbol. One of those bumper
stickers would have to read Honk if you see anything fall off. It will
likely not make the trip without some kind of mechanical problem.
I do have a large farmworker van that can hold a total of only 5 now since
I had it redone and removed all the benches for one back seat that converts
to a sofa. Plan on taking it to CO next year for a road trip with 4 of my
high school buddies. I think my wife will get a little suspicious if I tell
her I will be loading up female NPs maybe taking Jeff will help. Not!. Do
not worry I do not have the bumper sticker "if the van is a rockin don't
come a knockin"
I will be serious now since this is NP clinical. So whoever remembers in 2
years that we had plan this trip I would like to go.

So Dena, if we promised to have a booth with this combo, will you come to
the Michigan conference in 2 years? Iâ€™ll give you a $50 Starbux card and
treat you to a real margarita or drink of your choice. Michigan will NOT
be silent and there will be more than Horse hoofs .. . lol. Weâ€™ll get the
trots? Take a gallop poll to see who wants Dena to jump on the saddle and
fly there. 2 years to plan!! Bring Chris and Jeff and all the Calif on a
hippie bus. Seriously would LOVE to meet ALL of you! And Calif NP PLEASE
come and unmask your self/selves!
I KNOW this should be on NP info but itâ€™s a reply so I profusely apologize

Ooooooh, oooooooh, ooooooh!!! Iâ€™ve just read in the San Francisco Chronicle
about a â€œbook swapâ€ event being held this week where the advertisement
reads â€œâ€¦and after drinking the free Meth Coffee, youâ€™ll probably be
charging up and down the aisles. After which you can come down with $1 beer
and wineâ€¦â€ Meth coffee???? Free?? And $1 wine???? Hey, Iâ€™M THERE!!!! What
a wonderful, well-rounded, and thoughtful comboâ€¦. LOL

Dena and Marty:

ROFL!!! Yall are great! I have to admit, I have my own little caffeine
habit also. I hung a poster on my office wall that shows a 1950's-style
(June Cleaver-ish) lady with a placid smile, holding a cup of coffee in her
dainty hand (pinky finger out, of course). The caption says "I haven't had
my coffee yet. Don't make me kill you!"

When I was working at the VAMC, long lines of employees would file
downstairs to the Java Shop every morning to buy a drink called a "Red
Eye". I think it was a tall regular cup of coffee with a shot of espresso
in it. Wow! It would make your eyes bulge. Unfortunately, it also made my
pulse race and my speech sound like acute mania.

So, we've got sleep labs popping up all over the country, in hospitals,
store fronts, strip malls, etc. Nobody can sleep anymore. We might miss
something that's happening in a chat room, on late night TV, or at the
24-hour health club. As if caffeine isn't enough of a problem, here comes
Halloween this week, one of the year's major candy holidays. Now we can
also get a sugar rush, in addition to our coffee and Sudafed fix!

Shelby Havens, ARNP

Don't forget to chew that Sudafed. It's such a downer without it.

I donâ€™t have any idea how to improve this situation either but Iâ€™m in
the process of swallowing a No-Doze while pouring some Red Bull into
my Starbuckâ€™s double espresso and will stay up all night pondering
the problem. I should have an answer back to you bright and early
tomorrow morning. Iâ€™m sure Iâ€™ll still be up by then.

I've heard young people refer to Red Bull and other energy drinks as
"liquid crack". I think "Generation Y" perceives the drinks, as well
as other caffeine sources, as being necessary to maintain the energy
level it takes to keep up with a world that never sleeps. When I was
growing up, stores closed up at 9:00pm, restaurants generally closed
at 10:00pm, and most TV networks shut down after midnight. There was
nothing to do late at night and nowhere to go. The world slept at
night.

Now there's the internet, and almost every town has 24 hour eateries,
shopping centers, health clubs, and entertainment facilities. We work
more hours than our parents' generation did and we endure longer
commutes to and from our jobs. There's no time to rest. We are a
society that never sleeps. We have very little down time for rest and
relaxation. I have no idea how to improve this situation.
