Are You An Early or A Late?

[Kathianne]

I'm an early, nearly always. I wake up early; am usually at the health club with the person opening the door at 5, after reading the paper already; I get to school about 1.5 hours before the start. I've always been like this. Drove my mother, (a late) crazy.

Today, I drove myself a bit nutty. My god daughter is throwing a 25 anniversary surprise party at their club for her parents, my best friend and her husband. I thought the party began at 3:30, but at noon, thought I'd better look at the invitation. Good thing I did, said be there at 2.

I raced to the shower, makeup, hair, etc. Out to pick up the wrapping paper and card by 12:45. Still should hit the parking lot by 1:30 or so. Luckily I took a breath at the Hallmark store to check the invite one more time: Sunday, April 22, 2007. 24.5 hours early, would be embarrassing. :laugh2:

[jackass]

I am definatley a late. Just about 5 mins late wherever I go. I think its the challenge.

[Abbey Marie]

Late, except when I am picking up my daughter from school, etc. Then I'm usually early.

[shattered]

Early. Unless it's somewhere I don't want to be.. Then on time or 10 min late.

[manu1959]

early....unless it is a social function then 30 minutes to an hour late depending on what it is...

[Trigg]

early..........drives me crazy when people are habitually late.

On the other hand, I am NOT a morning person. Darn that bus coming at 7:00.

[shattered]

early....unless it is a social function then 30 minutes to an hour late depending on what it is...

How rude! :poke:

[Abbey Marie]

Good point, Trigg. I'm usually on time if something starts at a reasonable hour, i.e., after 9 AM. :coffee:

[Mr. P]

DING! DING! DING! Just look a little under the weather when you get there, and then "stick it out" for a bit, and you're skating through life. :D

yes but eventually you will be banned for bringing strange diseases to all the parties

[Nienna]

I'm usually "on time." Not too early or too late. But I am a morning person. Waking up is such a happy thing to do! :)

[Pale Rider]

I'm an early, to places at specific times that is. Never late.

However, I HATE to get up in the morning. I think the alarm clock was invented by one sadistic M-F'er.

That may be the funniest thing you have ever said!! :laugh2:

[shattered]

My alarm clock is actually missing the protective plate over the numbers, from accidently falling on the floor one too many times...

[manu1959]

don't use an alarm clock....i just wake up...

[shattered]

I used to just wake up.. 5:15 on the dot every single day, weekends included.. Then I got sucked back in to this shit, and now I don't go to bed at a normal hour anymore.

Well, it takes some of us awhile to get cute in the morning before work.. But before one can get cute, they need coffee.

[jackass]

I wake up at 4:00 am everyday for work. You get used to it.

Me too. It just always seems as though the best stuff to watch on TV comes on late at night.

[LiberalNation]

I'm not a morning person but get a burst of energy at night which sucks cuz then I can't sleep and still have to get up at 6:30 every weekday morning. Almost always on time, don't like to get somewhere too early or too late.

[shattered]

TV? I haven't turned mine on in at least a week. Ugh.

[Pale Rider]

TV? I haven't turned mine on in at least a week. Ugh.

I have cable, and I also get some high def channels as well. I REFUSE to watch ANY of the myriad of assinine sitcoms on broadcast TV. What a massive waste of power and air time. I watch the history channel, the learning channel, speed channel, PBS HD, Fox News, TCM, etc.. If I'm not learning something or otherwise relatively entertained, screw it. I'm on my computer more than I watch TV anyway.

[shattered]

Food Network
TLC
History (sometimes)

Then, whatever I find flipping thru stations. I can absolutely live without TV.. Can't live without radio tho.

[LiberalNation]

I don't watch tv much during the week. Normally just internet and work. Watch some on the weekends. Gona watch Sherman’s March on the history channel tonight. Looks really good. The channels I watch are basically, History, discovery, science, Discovery times, discovery health, military channel and sometimes CNN headline news, PBS, and Sci-Fi if theirs a horror movie on. MTV pimp my ride is okay and on a lot. TLC for the tattoo show.

[Mr. P]

I wake up at 4:00 am everyday for work. You get used to it.
Yup, I was up at 4:30 for ten years, now it's normal to wake at 5-6 without a clock at all..and wide awake too.

Absolutely. I've been waiting to watch that myself.

Anybody past 30 is on the downslide Mr. P. At that point your body is degenerating faster than it regenerates.

Excuse me? I seriously object to *that*.

[5stringJeff]

I'm an early riser. Even on the weekends, getting up after 8 AM is anethema.

I'm usually early/on time to important things, late to not important things. The more important the thing is the earlier I am; the less important it is, the later I am.

[Pale Rider]

Excuse me? I seriously object to *that*.

Sorry dear... I meant to say 20.....


The impairment of the respiratory system can in turn affect the cardiovascular system. The cardiac output is lowered due to the increased resistance of the blood vessels in the musculature. This reduction in the blood flow decreases the oxygen uptake, making the body less able to deliver the necessary oxygen to the body tissues, because of the decreased lung capacity. This vital capacity diminishes after age 20 and is on a steady decline thereafter, unless the individual takes the proper steps. As we get older and become more sedentary in our habits, the decline increases.

Of course not... I believe you... :D

I'll tell ya shattered, even when I was in my forties, I could eat nails and spit bullets. I don't really feel bad now either. I've always had physical jobs. I've stayed active, and I think that's the key.
