How to get up early in the mornings

Morning problems, sketch by Artmagenta

What is the first thing you do in the morning when you wake up?


EMILY: I am very tired in the mornings so therefore I have a good trick to get started. I'm leaving right out of bed on a jog.

One problem: When you're so tired, there are no guarantees of normal behavior. Two times I have forgotten to dress into jogging suit and have been running dressed in my nightgown. On the other hand it has been a very popular event for people in the morning rush.

He sipped on the same cup of coffee for five years

Apparently he has not yet drunk that coffee. Five years later he is still here in my appartment, sipping on the coffee!

ELLEN: Freddy is my brother's friend and he was terribly afraid of dogs. He was epecially afraid of my brother's dog Pluto.

One day two years ago, Pluto scared Freddy who then escaped by locking himself into the bathroom. There he sat five hours later when I got home to my brother. Freddy was crying with fear.

I saved Freddy, and Freddy was eternally grateful to me. So grateful that he proposed to me.

Freddy and Pluto are now friends. Freddy and I are married.


How donut sniffing dogs can help you from obesity problems

Street Survey
Are you planning to start a diet?


MARION:  I am on a very special diet.
I love donuts and I think if could just stop eating them my obesity problems would be over. I'm training my dog to help me quit the donuts. Just like the drug police and customs have dogs that help them find drugs, I am now training Fido to find my donuts. And when he has found the donuts, he eats them which results in no donuts left for me! It's brilliant!

We've been training for two months now and Fido is making some progress, but still I find the donuts before him. Yummy!

That particular day, Albert and I accidentally were locked in the store when it closed in the evening.

That night I taught Albert all about vegetables and after that, Albert taught me all about love.

Since that night we are a couple and we love to explore different vegetable markets together.

Street Survey
Are you a morning person or an evening person?


MELANIE: A very difficult question. I work night shifts and get out of bed 8 PM and go to bed at noon, and in that way I have worked for 4 years.
So I really do not know if I am a morning or night person.
Weekends are difficult, not to get out of my daily rhythm, I must be a night owl, also on weekends.

What is your most common dream?

PIA:  Almost every night I dream that I just like superman throw off my clothes in the middle of the street (I know supeman changed clothes in a phone booth, but I can't find one these days).

I then run frantically around in just my panties, looking for somewhere to hide. But there's nowhere to hide and people are staring frightened at me all the time.

I did ask a shrink what this dream means, but he just smiled mysteriously.

But people still call me Shrimp!

If you had to be a breed of dog, what type of dog would you be?

VICTORIA: When I was a little girl, I was bitten by a dog. Since then, I fear dogs and I hate dogs.

So believe me or not, but I would like to be a big, angry saliva dripping dog that attacks all other dogs and eat them.

Pooh, what a relieving thought.

What is the first thing you do in the morning when you wake up?

AMANDA: The very first thing I do when I wake up is to feed my aquarium fish, then I give the cat some food, go out and feed the chickens, give Fido, the dog, some food, then I wake my husband and give him breakfast, then the customers care coming to my cafe and I give them food.

So this is the first thing I do every morning and then every hour the rest of the day: I feed people (and animals)
