When we were kids my brother was THE soundest sleeper. It was my job as the oldest to get him up. Shaking him, calling his name, even shouting did not wake him up at all. Finally I resorted to a wet washcloth that I dripped on his neck. That did the trick but I had to run to safety.

I sure could have used Chico (or his great-great-grandfather) back then.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
