There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Orca "Ooh, I can take out a great white shark" whale or blue "Oooh, krill is delicious mini fish'es" whale?

Are we talking fine motor skills or momentum? Cause I wouldn't want to try to stop a swimming whale. However, an alligator/croc at the same velocity wouldn't do as much damage. But the alligator has better limb articulation and is more interested in grabbing me for lunch.

That said, the whale has to have mucho muscles to move that mass, even in water. On land, however...

I wouldn't want to piss either off. Even after taking a sample of muscle and determining the precise energy equal volumes could exert.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

On pure strength, I'm going to have to go whale.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Whale.

ya'll are funny. I avoided an answer by saying they live in different places. cause he really just wanted to know for his animal fighting scenerio in the bathtub. Bon - these are your animals btw.

mother question - at what age should I be able to have mac take a bath by himself?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I am commuting to the con, so I have to get up at the crack of too early to get the Metro in time to make the first panels, which are at 9 am.

I have spent a ridiculous amount of money on books today. The trick is to keep from spending any more on books this weekend.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I vote whale. I have no idea how old one would be to start bathing alone--although I have memories of potty training, I don't have any of bathing with company.

Bon, I'll be shooting at an indoor range, so nothing too exciting. One of the krav students is a firearms instructor, so he keeps getting us these "deals" and I'm finally availing myself of one.

It seems like a poor idea given the headaches and the glayvin, but I'm feeling extra pinned down by pain these days, and need to do something.

Including exercise. It's been a while.

Including painkillers--the trigger point injections are moving into the ouchy stage.

What is even happening?

How clean do you want him?

Ben is 11. He showers by himself. There have been nights in the not-all-that-distant past, when we've asked, "Have you washed [whatever body part]?" and heard a "Oh, I forgot." Depending on the part, and how clean he looked, we've sometimes sent him back in. Julia is 8. She showers by herself and has, for at least a year. Chris just turned 7. We're still shampooing his hair, and making sure everything gets washed and rinsed, but he does all the washing, himself. He also showers. If he were having a bath instead, we'd probably handle it about the same as we handle his shower.
