How long did it take to adjust to the summer/winter sun/no sun thing? Do
you stare in a luightbulb when it gets really bad or just leave for a southern latitude for a bit? "Miss Mo'Lissa" wrote in message ... No, REALLY... we order them from Council or White Mountain or if yer one of the 'rich folks' from the Women's group.... Then when we're done, we plant them in the Bering Sea, which is frozen over....Then when the town is packed full of the Iditaroders, we set up a golf course and play our annual Ice Classic! Kinda kool, but the Eskimo's who hunt the walrus & seals don't always appreciate it when breakup comes and they spend two days stalking the trees... I guess they don't taste quite as good as seal!

I came up in the Summer my first time up. It's pretty amazing,
because with the sun shining all the time, you just flat out don't need as much sleep. We put foil on the windows to block the light, or pin up thick blankets. My first wintering out was pretty crazy, my idea of roughing it was a balcony off the hotel room.... I was, shall we say, totally unprepared!!! Being off the road system, you get the SAD and the claustraphobic/trapped feeling of not being able to escape the town. I drank ALOT, I cried ALOT and was a pretty whacked out individual! Had a damned good partner to hold my hand thru it or I would have bailed out. Ten years later, and I have learned to contol my emotions and to hold my liquor a little better. Once you recognize it as the dark/cold blues, you can nod your head to the 'blahs' and find a task to tend to.....you buy really bright linens and curtains, dress in bright colors, force bulbs and grow lots of houseplants to fake yourself out! Winter comes, winter goes. Everything is slower..... as long as you can remember the summer mania is coming, it's alllllriiiiiight! Travel helps, but it took me a few years to be in the position to be able to come & go. A very hot sauna, good friends, good books and good interests make it cakewalk! Some people use the lights or the tanning beds, and I've gone in to tan when it gets really bad. It actually does help, but I always worry about catching some kind of kumuks (bugs) from using the local bed. I love it here. Barrow has it much worse, the sun goes down and they have almost 3 months of total nighttime.

Was just wondering...we've lived in Michigan all our lives (except for a few
years in the middle) and I get SAD here...Mr Sails doesn't, but then he's a Yooper, so I figure he has some genetic immunity built in! We also have the distinction of having far less sunshine than almost anywhere else in the states because of the cloud cover from the great lakes...Mr Sails noticed some teaching jobs open in Alaska and I quickly ixnayed the idea....would be like climbing into a cofin for 2 months...and I don't really drink and at my advanced age, don't really want to start...

Hey, Mo'lissa, aren't you supposed to be sailing in Cabo by
now? The time you spend posting here is wasted time. Don't become another Katysails. Instead, get out and enjoy your life. One shut-in up in Michigan is enough for this sailing group - actually too much for this group would be putting it more accurately. CN "Miss Mo'Lissa" wrote in message ...

Better to sail all spring summer and fall and be shut in in the wintertime
than to be a permanent shut-in in the bowels of a Crapanado 27 rusted to its' mooring ball in Islandamundo... "Capt. Neal®" wrote in message ...
