I live in mornings. I don't sleep untill morning (2AM abouts) and I wake in the early morning. So my best times are in the morning, so I would have to say that I love them a lot.

To answer the question, I like mornings for the most part. Though, going to work isn't my favorite use of them.

Hmmm....
abhobo was really just opining on the word "morning" (which usually has an "up" meaning) sounding just like "mourning" (which always has a "down" meaning). At least that's what I read into it. I suppose if I walk into a wake or funeral I could say "good mourning" to everyone, no matter what time of the day it is?

Well I usually don't like mornings, but I think I'm starting to like them more than ever before. Oh wait! It's 'cause I sleep 'til 10:30 or so lol oh well yes mornings are good. But about calling them "waffles"? Um what if you don't like waffles? (I do... I'm just asking)

"What about Parfay!!!! Everybody likes Parfay!!!!!"

huh? Parfay? what's that?

Webbratz

actually I've never tried parfay. Is it spelt parfet, or parfay, or parfete, or how? Never mind I can look it up on my own.
******************************
Oh it's spelt Parfait. ok now back on topic. I don't think I would like it very much. The dictionary defines parfait as:
a frozen dessert of cream, eggs, etc. , or of ice cream with syrup, fruit, etc. So I don't know. it doesn't sound to appitizing
