Something you don't see every day.

If you yell at them they'll shut right up.  You don't even have to cuss if you don't want to.

You could even add a prayer into it.....

"PLEASE!   FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, and in Jesus name.....SHUT THE HELL UP !!!"   

You'll be granted 15-20 minutes of total silence.....Now go to sleep, lamb chop. 😴

              Does that work with your spouse Glen?

Yeah, but not in the way your thinking.    It works FOR HER. 

Since she goes to sleep hours before I do, and I set up 'til the wee-hours tying flys and tinkering.   If I start stacking deer hair or making a bunch of racket she'll loudly "say a prayer for me" from the bedroom.....And if I hope to see another day I will say "Amen", and pipe down immediately.     👍 

 

When me and the kids sat up late, doing Wild Turkey shots on Thanksgiving night, Sugarbritches actually came completely out of the bedroom and gave a full fledged sermon in the hallway.   It was one of the most inspirational experiences any of us had ever been blessed with.   😳  Sobered me right up. 

There will be no liquor in the house during Christmas.

Oh BS!   

Just because doing what's necessary to stay in charge requires commiting a felony..... doesn't mean you're defeated.  

That's merely a stalemate.  🙂

There is a true story I was part of, that played out similar to this while at Boy Scout Camp.  I was a teenager and had to drive to camp late.  I picked up a friend of mine who was on a different kind of trip. ( I found this out just a handful of years ago.) Whippoorwill doing its thing my buddy starts yelling at it. Screaming at the top of his lungs, "SHUT UP BIRRRRDDD!!!!"  "SHUT UUUUUPPPP!!!"  People spaced out camping around us had random voices from all around the dark yelling at him to shut up. Quite funny actually.  Well the next day the whole camp was pretty upset with the guy yelling at the bird all night.  

Even with all the noise that persistent bird did not shut up.

Whippoorwills have kept me awake a few times on overnight floats.  It's when they are close enough that you hear the tiny "chock" sound before the "whip poor WILL" that it seems to vibrate the tent.  And no, yelling at them seldom works.  One night I made the mistake of camping on a bar that had a big, dead backwater behind it.  Had the double whammy of a whippoorwill and about a hundred mating frogs in the backwater having an orgy. Luckily it was a really big gravel bar, and I carried the already set up tent with some of my stuff in it a hundred yards to the other end of the gravel bar to escape the racket about midnight.

It just dawned on me (slight play on words there)😉    Y'all are going to bed too early. 

By the time I'm ready to fall asleep the firewood is gone, and all of the choir members have worn themselves out.   

I operate at my best on no more than 5 hours of sleep.  If I sleep for 8 hrs. it takes me 3-4 hours to feel fully awake again.

I’m 7-9 hours a night.  I can get by on 4-5 but without a schedule I sleep naturally 7/9 hours per night.  And I sleep like the tiniest baby😂.

         Well, the last time we had a tiny baby in the house it woke us up every couple hours to be fed and change the diapers.  😆
