Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hey ita (and others) - ever heard of a restraint technique called the "grape vine"?
Scroll down a bit to get to the appropriate video.
Lock Someone To A Tree Without Ropes, Chains, Or Any Other Ties
Don't be malicious....A restraint technique used by special forces, the "grape vine" is being demonstrated here for information purposes only. Do not try this unless under the supervision of a qualified person.
Basically, you wrap the victim's legs around a thin tree or poll in a certain way and then use the victim's body weight to lock the legs in that position.

Using some zinc powder, an instant cold compress and some salt, you can make a chemical that violently bursts into flame when it is exposed to even a few drops of water.

Just saw ads for Bones and House! Whoo Hoo! The long summer doldrums are nearly over! And House is without a team!

I saw that ad -- it's funny. (Where he's using the custodian as his "team", right?)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a vision now of a clumsy stripper getting caught in the grapevine. Escape #2 would be very unlikely in that case.
Still no lemonade! I may be forced into manual labour.
I'll probably just eat the leftovers from my fruit salad making yesterday. Grapes and berries for miles because I can't visualise a pint or a quart.
Well, I can now that I remember how many cups are in either.
Strangely, one of the recipes specified 1 quart of strawberries and 9 ounces of grapes. The mixing v. confusing.
I have a lot of grapes left over.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That makes sense to me in a typical grocery store -- the strawberries are in pint/quart containers already, and you can weigh the grapes in a bunch.

The Bourne was good. Subway changes making me take a route without an elevator for one train was not. Grocery shopping alone with a child in wheelchair was challenging, but he was very good which is the only way I stayed sane.
We built a new model Lego castle, had mac & cheese for dinner, played beginner Uno, bathed, booked and he is asleep.
In an effort to reduce opportunities of stress, mac now has an agreed upon outfit for each school day for the rest of the summer. Only Saturday and Sunday will be left up for choice.
In the same vein, I have put together and hung up work outfits for the next week and a half.
