Men start drinking earlier.

Speak for yourself. ;^)

Poor Mo1 can sleep in late approximately 12 years from now. :)

[najida]

And rain falls down....
I'm not awake until noon....

Bad news is often I've already put in 5 hours of work.
Not good.

[Mo1]

I've already had 14 years of no sleep .. Hey what's another 12 years :0(

[pissant]

For whatever reason, my wife and every woman I've dated prior, has always been a royal grump on sunday nights.

What?
You couldn't find that, "Master of the Obvious," picture for this post?!

(I always let her sleep in)

That's what I do.
At the times when it doesn't work and she STILL is a grouch, I have fresh coffee ready for her.

And when I know THAT won't work, either?
I take my Sons and hide in a mall/park/WalMart/parking lot/ miles from home. I know better.

I remember looking at leda, when we were in HS, thinking, "How can she be so perfect, this early?"

Now I know. Stay out of her way. Far away.

(Yes, hon, I will sleep on the couch. LOL)

[I_like_good_things_too]

Please--it's because the guy was snoring all night keeping us awake!

[G Larry]

Ahhhh......
This would explain the other study which found the following disparity;
59% of men and 19% of women think about sex all of the time.

[leda]

me? grumpy? never!
well maybe after a night of listening to buzz saws ;)

[RandallFlagg]

Which is made worse by the emotional factor of:
The man doesn't want it until the woman says he can't have it.
Mister Spock taught us that.

I've known for years I'm not fit to talk to in the morning. My solution has always been to get up at least an hour earlier where I can have my quiet time and attitude adjustment because having an asinine argument absolutely ruins my day. Much better if I lose an hour of sleep than to mull over things said during an early morning argument.

Great... So the obnoxious oversexed drunk guys I meet will live longer.

Well at least obnoxious, oversexed, old drunk guys with cell phones in constant use trying to hook up with younger hot babes, won’t be able to reproduce.

Go figure. I you woke up next to an obnoxious, oversexed, old drunk guy with a cell phone, you’d be grumpy too.

Not too much sex please, we are still British you know

Evidently none of the above is a problem in England.

Clemenza in the morning makes Dustbin Oscar seem like a perkier Rachel Ray.

Don't EVER come toward me in the morning all chipper and talkative. You will get warned only once...

[Petronski]

My Sweetness must be the exception that proves the rule.

I've never loved mornings so much as in the last four months.

Hmmmm, errr, depends on the night!

[Mrs Ivan]

We're both grumpy at having to wake up.

Very true, very true.

Although I will confess to being exceptionally grumpy when I have to get up at 3 a.m. to travel halfway across Europe, but it's not really the waking up that causes that.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

You mean this one?
