  1. I actually have that disorder, but in the summer. I come home on a horribly hot, bright, sunny day and immediately pour myself a glass of single malt and go down to the dark, cool, lower level of the house.

  2. I have seriously thought of having exterior lighting installed to illuminate the windows during winter. We have these roof overhangs on our house that make the interior gloomy even on the nicest days. HATE that. So, as we have more cloudy days than London, and gloom is our regional weather pattern, I crave light. Not bright light – but light. Any light. Some light. I’ll take artificial – I don’t care. By mid-February I feel like I’ve been captive in a windowless log cabin for months.

  3. I like brats, ribs, burgers and steak or any other stuff that cooks on the grill in the summer. In the winter I like stuff that cooks in the oven or stews in a pot. Just the same, certain shit is in season and certain shit is out of season, just go with it. I think I’d go batshit crazy were the year to not start out cold, get warm and then turn cold again.

  4. I don’t have it but can deffo feel the difference in winter when the sun stays away. However, if I engage in things I enjoy, especially if it involves movement (cooking) or keeping my brain busy (reading and writing) and don’t hole up in dark rooms, it’s not so bad. And for crying out loud, go outside! It may be cold but even a few minutes a day, it’s good for the spirit.

  5. Also, it takes a minimum of fifteen minutes in the sun for the human body to manufacture the minimum daily amount of Vitamin D it needs. I can definitely feel the difference when it’s cloudy for days at a time, as it’s been in the fair city of Yonkers recently.

  6. Humanity needs adversity, even something as simple as a change of the seasons.
    I think the issue is not SAD, but it’s actually LOONY – Liberal Obnoxious Overload Neverending Yearning. This is the syndrome where liberals HAVE to have something to strive to overcome. It strikes them heavily in regions that have little to no sealsonal climate change, like Kalifornia.
