Anya ,'Bring On The Night'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
P-C, what kind of sandwich? Ham, would be ok. PB&J might be suspect.
Turkey! Or...chicken. One of the two.
I still only need to get there an hour before, right?
Also do no wrap any presents you plan to carry on, they will be unwrapped to be inspected.
Oh, shit, thank you! I must remember to check those.
Even checked, they will still likely be unwrapped and inspected, so wrap upon arrival.
Well, that totally blows. And I went to such trouble to get them wrapped, too.
P-C, spend the extra money to ship them out, then. If you ship them tomorrow priority, they'll definitely get there in time and be nicely wrapped still. Plus, then you don't have to deal with them.
Poor meara! Strep throat sucks.
P-C, go shipping, choose shipping!
If you check them, they won't necessarily be unwrapped. I just went to Mexico with some wrapped presents in a checked bag and neither US or Mex. customs opened the suitcase from what I can tell.
Also, 'allo, them whot remembers me.
Can't they just x-ray the packages, without unwrapping them?
Yes. The trick is that if your bag happens to get snagged for more thorough inspection, you run the risk of unwrapped presents. It's a gamble that I generally don't feel like taking. But I'm also biased because I hate traveling with an ounce of extra weight in my luggage and will ship anything that I can.
Btw, yes still having a wonderful vacation. I'm waiting in the car as ND does a quick grocery run, though, so I had phone-posting time.
waves to Kristin and ND
You are so close, and yet so far away. It is only about 3 hours to Orlando, and yet 3 hours that I don't have. Yay for vacation! Have much fun.
{{meara}} Ick. Strep germs need to leave you alone.
that humans aren't physiologically built for monogomy
Cash, the term you're looking for here is sexual dimorphism. The larger the male is relative to the female determines whether a species will be monogamous or polygynous. If you look at the great apes, the dimorphism is greater is 50%. The males have harems and no other males are allowed to breed with the females. Humans exhibit around 15% dimorphism, we are situationally monogamous. A nice in-between are chimpanzees who have about 25% dimorphism. While they don't have harems, there is an alpha male who is given the first opportunity to breed with all females as they come into estrus, but there's a lot of fooling around on the side with the non-alphas.
