RE: 5 Facts About Me (Expose Yourselves)
Yes, I guess you shouldn't have your first drink - or read my posts - until noon, or the sun is over the yardarm, whichever comes first.
THE SUN IS OVER THE YARDARM (OR FORE YARD)
Naval officers' expression meaning "It is time for a drink", it is bad form to
have a drink on board before sun is over the yard arm, i.e. approaching noon.

We seem to have a problem regarding the yardarm!!!
As far as I know, the sun rises different heights depending on the time of the year !!! How will I know when it's really appropriate to drink, read your posts and pray it won't cause a tumultuous emotion in my heart? What if I am facing it in the wrong way?
Please advise!
As if I didn't have enough problems already, now you bring up THAT?
But wait, I have a solution. Paint a yardarm with the sun peeking over it on your living room wall. And one in the kitchen, bathroom, hallway......you get the idea :-)
