    It’s usually too late by the time you find out who is not a morning person.

    there is a proverb that says, “A blessing given loudly in the morning will be taken as a curse”

    Rat’s going a bit overboard. ALL people should be approached only carefully until they’re at least partly caffeinated. Preferably with a cuppa held out toward them and a non-threatening look on your face…

    What’s a morning? I retired in 1995 and usually get up around 1-3 PM.

    Is it a bad thing to completely see eye to eye with Rat on something? Asking for a friend.

    That’s a good start. Maybe Rat can resist punching someone else this afternoon, too.

    Rat is not a morning person or an afternoon person or a night person. He’s not even a person at all.

    It sounds like Pig learned a valuable lesson. There will be days when Rat won’t be wanting to be so nice.

    I love the quiet and solitude of early morning. The animals are music to me as they munch and shuffle. That soft, more visible than heard nicker from my pheetyhorse greets me and sets the mood for the day : )

    No! It’s the other way around. Morning people (like me) like to get up to sunshine. Now with Daylight Savings I am getting up to more than hour of darkness. I prefer Standard time.

    As a non-morning person, I can agree. Do not approach me before 6 AM, or before I have read the comics, whichever comes first.

    I am a fairly early riser but prefer not to socialize until I am properly caffeinated.

    My wife is one of those up-and-at-em types who attack the day with energy and enthusiasm. She has learned that while I listen, I don’t respond other than in grunts and react slowly until the first cup of strong black tea or coffee has done its magic.

    While she charges into her morning, I prefer the gradually ease my way into the day.

    I am also a morning person, I have been told repeatedly that I am disgustingly cheery in the morning, to go away for at least an hour, preferably two, and when I do come back I best have coffee!

    A new morning dawns every day of the week. / So when I wake up, bleary and bleak, / Heed this word to wise, / When I finally arise, / Give me my coffee, and then you may speak.

    Its proper spelling is “mourning.” It’s a time to wear black and grieve over lost sleep.

    Not sure if that was a nice thing or an extremely mean thing, Rat. I mean, sure Pig will think it’s nice you didn’t hit him. But what about everyone else he’ll be annoying with that greeting?
