Hm, why does the TSA site say 3oz and the American Airlines site say 100 ml? [link]

vw! I got your lovely card. Thank you.

Ditto! That's a really great picture of you and Toto, especially with the pretty border around it.

{{Cash}} I hope you get some down time today! Last night just was not fair of the universe at all.

Laura, I don't think I got to say that it's great they caught the pursenapper! Every now and then it gives me hope that most police departments are more effecient than the Sunnyvale police.

100 ml = 3.3814023 fl oz

That's what I was going to say, Tom. Okay, that's what I was going to imply, without any actual facts.

All right, I was only going to mutter about 5ml being a teaspoon, and so you're looking at 20 tsp, which is nearly 7 tablespoons, so maybe that's close-ish to 3 ounces.

Laura! I forgot to say yay yesterday on the purse-napper being caught! Asshat.

Raq, what everyone else said about DH. It's a big step that at least he recognizes there is a gap between his perception and the world's.

Cash, WHAT are the dogs doing asking for water and to go out in the middle of the night?! My gods, I would banish them to Siberia. Many gentle hugs to you, though, for the sleeplessness, the pain, the vomit, the broken snowglobe, and the rotten way to start the morning. Santa needs to bring you a pain-free year with lots of sleep (for everybody, kids included).

It's sleeting here, which is nasty. And while I don't have peppermint bark to make, I do have two last batches of cookies to conquer in between writing more pages than humanly possible on the book that's late.

It's mostly Mac. More of her incontinence issues. I don't know if her medication makes her more thirsty. Usually, when she has to pee when we're asleep, she'll pee in the floor of the laundry room (conveniently next to the drain). But she was fairly insistant last night that it be OUTSIDE. It may have been the fact that I threw away some cat food cans in the trash can in the back yard.

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.

There have also been studies which show very strong correlations between primate testicle size and monogamy (smaller balls relative to male body size = more monogamous, IIRC), and on those, humans fall somewhere in the middle.

Wow, um, that comparison between the great apes mating patterns and human patterns seems almost like you don't believe in Intelligent Design.

Andi, thanks - he's never been diagnosed with ADHD, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have it. I may give it a read as even if it doesn't help this case, my best friend is ADHD and I'd like to know more.

You know, up until, oh, a year ago, I wouldn't have viscerally understood why you know this conversion, Cindy.

Cash, yuck. My Sunday started off somewhat like that, with Mal up at 6:00 and the cat barfing in the hall. And, for about an hour, I thought it was Monday.

My friend with the biology major mentioned the testicle thing.

Mommy math. It's how I can eyeball four ounces.

Has anyone here ever gone through the process for disability approval? We've been futzing with this for near on 2 years, and we're on our first appeal.

Yesterday we got something that I think is hopeful, a notice of an appointment for Hubby to see a doctor to be evaluated. Granted, the doctor could say, "It's in your head, you could go be a construction worker, get outta here, ya mooch," but being given the appointment does say they think we've got a case, right?
