    Maybe if you're a morning person. I don't feel good until I get up and wash my face with cold water X| And I don't get really active until somewhere after dinner. I'm at my best when "normal" people go to bed. And of course I'm a wreck again the next morning, because I didn't go to bed at that time. The sad thing about this world is that it's all about morning people. Why the heck do school/work days start at 8-9!? I do my best and make it at 9:30-10, but in weekends and vacations it doesn't really start until 12-13.

        I just realized something - I believe nagy actually means snake in Hindi and Urdu. Hindi speakers can confirm this or correct me :-)

            Oh okay. That may be right. I remember a movie called Nagina (means female snake woman) from when I was very young. So yeah, it's probably naga for male and nagina for female. How do you know Hindi anyway?

                LOL, nice skill to have :-) Knowing multiple languages, even minimally, is also a sign of intelligence - but then with you, that was never in question I suppose.

                  Nah...Nagy would throw a null reference exception at the thought of not drinking...

                  I figure it would look more like this:

                  RUN "\LifeChoices\ChooseNotToDrink.exe" ERROR FileNotFound

                    Possibly more like your sig:

                          After years of being spurned and abused by the night-owls, the morning people have at last banded together to "re-educate" those who avert their eyes from the sunrise!

                            I suspect it's just that I "need" 5 or 6 hours, but when I drank I needed a whole lot more to get some (if not all) of the alcohol out of my system before I could get "real" sleep.

                            More likely because you're getting older. The need for sleep tends to decrease the older you get (or so is my understanding - it hasn't happened to me yet! :~)

                                    Not drinking is like missing a core part of your life. I enjoy drinking as much as writing codes :java:
