  3-5AM: magical time or better to sleep?

  I think it depends on how old you are and what type of person you are. When I was younger (college aged, early 20s) it definitely was magic time. Walking home through a deserted campus after a party – everything so quiet and peaceful. Hanging out with friends and it feels like you’re the only people on earth. But now, at 40, the idea of being up at 3–4 am makes me want to pull my skin off. NOTHING is more important or magical than sleep. In fact, if you expect me to be up at 3–4am, you’d better assure me a nap at 7am. But, that said, I’m old, so….there ya go.

  As a child, did you ever do something to embarrass yourself?

  No, no one caught it on tape, as far as I know. At least no one told me they did. I don’t think I could actually watch it without dying.

  As a child, did you ever do something to embarrass yourself?

  Okay here’s one. Bleh. This was freshman year of high school. It was Homecoming. All the classes would work on floats that we would run in the HC parade & that night at the Homecoming game around the football field at halftime. Big floats like on the flatbed of a pickup truck. Okay. Halftime comes & we all run out to run around the field with our float while waving manically at the crowd & generally being smart aleks. We get the float all the way up the field (more in front of the visitor’s stands), turn it around & head back down, in front of our home stands. At approximately the 50 yard line, in full view of everyone in the stands, I hit a hiccup in the field, trip & fall. Bad, right? Well, not so much yet. As I’m tumbling to the ground, the float runs me over. Yeah. Runs. Me. Over. Like a possum. The float finishes its roadkill of me and rolls off to its destination. I leap to my feet & run off after it, hoping no one saw. Ummm….right. Then, I realize I’m missing a shoe. Looking back over my shoulder, I see it sitting, mockingly, on the 50 yard line. As I run back to get it, applause starts in the stands. So, famehor I am, I bowed. I BOWED. Just like the dork I am.

  How old qualifies as “childhood”? I’ve got 2 mortifying stories,but I was in high school for both of them.

  What difference is the influx of serious money going to make to Fluther?

  Well lloydbird, you said, “how do you feel about contributing (For free) to a site that is using your abilities to further line some well-off pockets”. Whose pockets were you referring? It seemed to be the owners of this site. If I misunderstood, I apologize, but it seemed pretty clear. I just think your original question was pretty harshly worded and presented as a negative take on what’s happened. Any business, if they want to expand, has to have some sort of investment to make that happen. I don’t see how this one is something that should make any of the members get all up in arms. And, as far as the “where’s my cut” stuff – unless you’re going to pay to ask a question, you can’t expect to get paid for an answer. Especially since a large percentage of the answers here are flippant rather than actual reliable answers. I also think that anybody who has a problem with it should go and start their own site – see how long you can sustain something like this (with the exceptional professionalism/design etc.) without some sort of outside investment.
