PLFXpert 0 #26 September 2, 2006 QuoteOf course, let's keep in mind that when my training is over, if someone showed up with a bottle of really good Vodka, and even more interesting company, things could change very quickly. :) I like Stoli and pomegrante mix on the weekends---but that starts at around 3 p.m.Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

LisaM 0 #27 September 2, 2006 Dinner at 7 for me is unhealthy! Then I just want to come home and sleep! We did that a lot while my brother was visiting and it was a nightmare.

bbarnhouse 0 #29 September 2, 2006 QuoteWe'd be perfect partners in crime LOL An ocassional late night for me is 11:30 PM..and that is rare! Many times I need to be on the flightline in the early hours of the morning (between 2 & 3)which means that I ain't stayin' up...and ya can't make me!! Bwahhhhhhhh I really do enjoy visiting with folks in the evenings, but they and I recognize that I am old and tired (party pooper). I have an entirely new manifest staff and so enjoy spending time with them, but...they drink like vikings and are ever so much younger. I just can't keep up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLFXpert 0 #30 September 2, 2006 Oh, I agree! That's why most of the time our friends just meet us for drinks AFTER dinner b/c it's only on a rare occassion I'll actually agree to a dinner later than 5:30 p.m.Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

bbarnhouse 0 #32 September 2, 2006 QuoteDon't you HATE daylight savings time LOL well...we are a bit backward out here in Arizona because we don't recognize "daylight savings time". When the time changes elsewhere in the country I have to count on my fingers...are they 2 hours ahead or 3? Are they 1 hour behind or the same? Is it 8 hours or 9 in Europe.

PRSKY71 0 #33 September 2, 2006 I used to be a night owl in college and through law school. I used to do ALL of my cleaning at 1 a.m., go jogging at 2 a.m., etc. Now, though, after being in the real world for quite a while, I find it very difficult to stay up past midnight. I do get up fairly early for work and ususally in a decent mood....

caspar 0 #35 September 2, 2006 i think the drug is called monovil and i know new generations of this drug are being made where you take the pill which puts you straight into R.E.M sleep. to cut a long story short, you have 3 hours of sleep that regenerates you as much as a normal 8 hours. i told my friend and he just ordered 3months worth! should be interesting watching him after thos e3 months are up"When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading."

NWFlyer 2 #37 September 2, 2006 Neither, really! Go figure. Most nights I'm in bed by midnight, or before, and I like it that way. But I also don't like getting up much earlier than 7 or 730. Most mornings I can't seleep in much past that. Whenever I'm able to let my natural sleep schedule rule, I am on about an 1130-730 schedule. Unfortunately that doesn't always mesh with my work schedule or social schedule. Most boogies these days I'm among the earlier people to be in bed (midnight or 1 at the latest) and I'm up somewhat early but not at the ass-crack of dawn."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

airtimebabe24 0 #40 September 2, 2006 Both, or do you just call that insomnia? I cant sleep @ night, i have crazy dreams, and i love morning.

PLFXpert 0 #41 September 2, 2006 I'm jealous! I took four years of photography in school. I had an awesome camera. My favorite thing was playing around in the dark room during development--moving the film paper and making all sorts of abstract creations. Something happened to my camera and Billy's camera. That's our Christmas present this year to each other is some good photography gear. Well, that and I want a Dyson all-floors vaccum cleaner with the works. <---NERD!Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matt1215 0 #42 September 2, 2006 <<>> Especially from under canopy. I made it out for a sunrise jump a few months ago. So tough for me to get to the DZ before noon, let alone 6am, but so worth it.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites irisheyes 0 #44 September 2, 2006 I voted "morning person" because I like to get everything done nice and early when everyone else is still in bed.

But, I also stay up quite late most nights, so I could have voted "night owl" too. (Insomnia is no fun I tell ya!)
