I love my Uberti .44 Russian but it is a bit harder to handle and shoot than a Colt.

Just my 'umble opinion, but I'd try the Lunesta. Every medication has possible negative effects that are quite rare but of course are in the literature, and your research will turn them up.
The idea it seems to me is to break the current cycle of insomnia. Then re-evaluate when that is done. Just my own thinking.

Definitely talk to a doc at this point.

In our personal experience, over a ten year period several decades ago, most kids were the product of neglect rather than outright abuse, and the goal was to return them to their parents when said parents got their acts together. Most of the kids had a strong desire to return home, too, and eventually did.
Older kids, adolescents, were another issue altogether.

It's voluntary, you don't have to receive a child in the first place unless you agree, and if the child doesn't 'work out' for behavior or whatever, you can have CPS pick them up.
It's true you have to have a certain level of tolerance. Not many of these kids have happy family backgrounds.
As far as older kids are concerned, you can of course ask to meet them.
Consider this issue: my parents don't want me, and now these people don't want me either. Didn't do well enough in the interview, I guess.

I can't shake the feeling that something just isn't ringing true about this entire story.
There are several news accounts and it seems genuine enough as far as I can tell from them.

Usually, CPS will notify you of the need, you will agree, and they will deliver the child or children to your home. This is when you first meet the child, in most circumstances.
This is fostering, not adoption. You are a foster parent to help in what are often emergency situations. 'Meeting' ahead of time doesn't come into it.

As far as the OTC nostrums are concerned I researched them a few years back and settled on Costco's house 'Sleep Aid'. It uses an early antihistamine, not diphenhydramine (Benadryl). It works well for me when needed, and unlike Benadryl, it does not have a rebound effect with extended use.
Having an exercise regime can be a great help, too.

Interesting. They did a pretty good job on some of those...

Educate me on this. You can travel with ammo across the border, but it needs to be accounted for?? What’s the big deal about a random round?There are specific Canadian laws regarding bringing firearms and ammunition into Canada from the US. I don't know the specifics, but many pards here do; both our Canadian shooters and those Yanks who have hunted or competed in Canada.
If you don't follow those rules, and bring firearms or ammo into Canada, you can have a serious problem. If you bring a forgotten shotshell into Canada, you are in violation. And you'd be surprised how many countries think of a single cartridge as a big deal.
Others know more details, no doubt.

I live in a border state and my dad and grandad were born in Canada. My grandad grew up there and was an RAF pilot in the First World War. My dad was a kid when they moved down here; he declared US citizenship when he became an adult; this would have been in the '40s. We often went into BC to visit relatives. He always had to have his papers handy for re-entry the US, though he'd been a citizen for decades.i
They never asked about us kids' though.
Entry into the US was always harder than into Canada for decades. Into BC it was easy. Now it's tougher to enter Canada, and a passport is necessary as a practical matter-- both ways.
If you are a shooter, you need to sanitize your car of any stray ammo to enter Canada. An errant shotshell from an old duck hunt in the spare wheelwell? A .22 cartridge under a mat? You won't get in and you'll be lucky to escape arrest.

Then all is well!

To me the issue is the best approach to the campaign from now on. What is the path to win? Positive wins. Negative doesn't. That's mostly it, to me anyway.

"Illegally obtained" evidence can often be used in criminal prosecutions, as long as the 'obtainer' is not working on behalf of law enforcement, indirectly or othewise, and has no law enforcement connection.
The 'exclusionary rule' is directed to the actions of official law enforcement.

The important thing is to win the election. Name calling won't work. I hope we can come up with a different strategy.

Then there's 'not-buying pleasure.'
When after long work life you have some extra money, and can look at good stuff and think, I could write a check for that right now.
But you don't. You don't really want it anymore, or whatever.
It's a nice feeling.

A great one. And puts me in mind of the great breakout run that won the US women's Rugby 7s the bronze medal a few days ago in Paris:

Could be, but on the other hand, perhaps not.
I know two guys who came close to drowning in adulthood. But they still went around water, just more carefully.

Was JC Higgins actually a business? I thought it was just a brand name Sears roebuck put on their guns.
Plus many other sporting goods, including bicycles, campstoves, and much else.
