You don't want to....they struggle so when you hold them down.

No, the voice of struggle.

It was a lot easier when we had the mass shaving machine.

Scout (goodreadscomscout) | 3598 comments When I was in college, I set my clock radio to music to wake me up. Now I can't go to sleep with music playing.

Robert (robertstout) The shouting of my neighbor to get off his lawn, and the endless internal monologue of questions, where are my pants, why are my nipples painted smurf blue.

message 62: by Adrianne (new)

Adrianne | 8 comments I have a horrible disco alarm in my mobile that wakes me up evey morning. I always run to turn it off and I'm so nervous after listening to this music that I never go back to bed. It really works.


message 63: by Robert (new)

Robert (robertstout) That's a good idea, I wonder what kind of day Id have if there was a horrible disco song stuck in my head. Sounds like a Stephen King novel to me.


message 64: by Adrianne (new)

Adrianne | 8 comments My flatmates don't think it's a good idea:)


message 65: by Robert (new)

Robert (robertstout) Let me know if IT shows up in a fro and gold chain.

Same thing for me, except it's more very low quality hip-hop. I think. Ugly, instrumental hip-hop? I recently switched from little travel alarm, which I think is in its death throes, to phone. Figuring out how to press snooze is too complicated on the phone, so I get up right away. It's great.

smetchie | 4034 comments I think we still have hippies. I see them at the laundry mat way more often than Whigs.

janine | 7709 comments Whigs?


message 70: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) The Modern Whig Party is a United States political party whose stated intention is to be a "party for the rest of us." The Modern Whig Party describes itself as a mainstream, middle-of-the-road grassroots movement that caters to those voters who believe in various Republican issues but also believe in various other Democratic issues.

Founded by Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, the party claims some 30,000 supporters, many of them affiliated with the American military.

The general platform of the Modern Whig Party relates to fiscal responsibility, strong national defense, and social progression.

Why not? She might very well be one. Maybe that's why she doesn't want to meet us.

An alarm...

Very darling! For that; I might be pleasant in the morning instead of a snarling grouch.

Harry  (harry_harry) | 226 comments My wife has recently taken to using Darth Vader's theme...or the 'Imperial March' as an alarm on her cell phone. She was already out of bed when it started going off. I thought I was having a really strange dream.


message 94: by [deleted user] (new)

This morning at 3:00 am it was two cat toe nails (clearly visible by the remaining puncture wounds) using my face as traction to escape my husband's twitching in his sleep.

Not a happy girl before you. Not happy at all.

Rock Ism I just automatically wake up at the crack of dawn. Don't need no alarm or nothing. I guess I'm like a rooster or something.
