still a nice one

wim, here are a couple of technical terms... "Hypnagogic": of, relating to, or occurring in the state of intermediate consciousness preceding sleep: hypnagogic hallucinations. "hypnopompic": of or relating to the partially conscious state that precedes complete awakening from sleep. But half-asleep and half-awake are fine. "drowsy" means falling asleep, too.

I agree with Rebecca, being awake I can make be as much fun as being asleep. Is there an English word for the state in between? Like halfawake or halfasleep?

wim commented on 04.08.05
this really is a nice one, considering it to be your #150, a fresh "spring ins" in the air in spring

Rebecca commented on 04.02.05
Personally I think it makes things rather fun.

The two meanings are expressed by exactly the same phrase ("sleep with"), so we have to rely on the context to give us clues as to the intended meaning, or rephrase to avoid ambiguity/embarrassment. It's a pity, really, that "sleep with" as a euphemism for having sex has made it difficult to use the phrase to mean "share a bed with".

We use capitals so in that case I would have used Jullie. How do you make the difference in English between "sleeping with" (like having sex) and "sleeping with" (like in one bed without any fysical contact)? in Dutch we say "ik slaap met Julie" (sexthing) and "ik slaap bij Julie" (with 2 in 1 bed)

Smart Set commented on 04.01.05
"Triplets", ART. I guessed (wrongly) that the title means "May I sleep with Julie?"

hola hola, let "us" do it... I don't think anyone of those two would agree on that

ART-chitect commented on 04.01.05
I would consider starting a grandpa-fund if I were you ;-)
