When I was a kid our family went on vacation to the US. Everyone kept asking if I was Dutch, which I thought was German (Deutsch).
So I kept correcting them, saying I was Netherlandish :)

Not enby but always happy with a new name :)

I often wake up around the same time. What helps for me is a big soft toy cat to cuddle with. The feeling of security of being able to wrap my arms around something tight is soothing and often helps me drift off to sleep again.
I don’t use it until I wake up though, until then it’s lying on the floor next to my bed. It could be that the change in sleeping posture is what helps?

Granted, this might be a bit too personal to be helpful. But maybe it will help for you as well? Alternatively you could try a big fluffy pillow if soft toys aren’t your thing :)

Those look really comfy :)

You’re welcome! :)

Not the OP, but this is in Valkenburg, The Netherlands. In a cave attraction called Mergelrijk.

It’s quite fun, they had several more of them. I’d share photos but my kids are in all of them :)

No way. If you believe you’re a grape, then you’re a grape.

Poor Craig…

Thank you for your answer! Nice to see something besides a literal interpretation of the question (Though to be fair, it was also the first thing that popped in my head :)
Anyway, I have to agree with you. A lot of things that seemed almost impossible or ridiculously far-fetched when I was little are now common place or close to becoming reality. And I’m not even that old! (forever in my early thirties *cough* *cough*)

It ends when it ends, try to enjoy it while it hasn’t ended yet. You might wish it hadn’t ended by the time it did end :)
(Assuming that the end is not a desired end but an inevitable end)

Damn you for making me laugh that hard :)

Thank you… no more peaceful nights for me

Something extremely gross and disgusting. Please don’t turn me into food.

Oh my god that’s creepy!
Even when I can see the seal, I just can’t unsee that… that… thing.

Bold of you to assume I’m a person.

4,200 words of sizzling human on monetary unit action

🤣 Thank you for that one. I almost peed my pants :)

This looks to me like some kind of cult ceremony.

“I am ready brothers! Let me be consumed by our benevolent Pound Cake Lord’s grace!”
“Pound it! Pound it!”

Thank you! :)
