I turn my thermostat to 55 F before going to bed, and when I hear the radiators clanging in the wee hours, I know the house is starting to warm up for me in the morning.
I once saw my mother-in-law flapping her apron at the top of the basement stairs. I asked her what in the world she was doing, and she explained that the menfolk were in the middle of a project down there and she wanted them to come up for dinner. She was wafting the smell of roast beef, mash, and gravy down into the basement. It worked!

I live by myself. If my alarm clock doesn’t get me up nor my cell phone’s alarm clock, third bet’s my bladder. (Yeah, I know, folks: TMI.)

My 92 year old grandmother still wakes me up frying bacon every time I go to visit. That’s the only time I get to have someone else make my breakfast!
