I don't have a gradual light alarm, I have a table lamp on a timer that turns on 30 minutes before the radio goes off. I usually respond to its click and LIGHT with cursing and moaning, but it does help wake me up. Put in a CFL bulb and it might be slightly more gradual... those usually take a few minutes to reach full bright.
Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Just out of curiosity, what's the difference between the light that a "grow light" emits and that of a light box for treating SAD?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Indeed, one of the few things I like about moving to a place where it freezes is that I don't have to worry about the fucking roaches.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
That's a good question, Andi. I wish I knew the answer. Most of the alarms I've seen use basically regular lightbulbs so I'm not sure if they're a scam or not.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I love that Teppy named her light box "Ray."
I need to design invitations to my in-law's 40th anniversary party tonight. I am uninspired.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Brenda, a non-buffista friend just ordered one of these: [link] . No review yet, but she got a bunch of good feedback on it before ordering.

Thanks, Hec! I am now cruising for interesting fonts and images.
Tomorrow is Busy Day. Both kids go to school, Liv has her swim lesson and I volunteer in Owen's classroom. I should really do dinner prep tonight.
I have so much trouble NOT wishing some unfortunate, sudden illness on the douchebags who insist that "health" is all about choices.

Some minor surgery ~ma for tomorrow morning, please. Hubby's going to have a procedure that will involve some local anesthesia and injections next to his spinal column. It should go smoothly, but I figure good thoughts are always in fashion.

They absolutely are. Good luck to the hubby, and minimal-worry-ma to you too.
