Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I need to buy some books on Chicago history.
This is a good one on the various fires that have left a mark on the city, from the Great Fire to the Iroquois Theatre and Our Lady of the Angels school (To Sleep with the Angels is the definitive book on that subject, and makes a convincing case that it was started by a young student who was an incipient arsonist).

Does my medical research mother think there's solid science behind that? I don't think it was exactly the point.
Sometimes placebos truly work.
I am having such a huge craving for lemonade. Sadly I have lemonade, so it comes down to self-control.
Umm, and the reason you are exercising this self control is....?
Upset stomach avoidance. Maybe if I take a Tums every time I walk past the bottle, and dilute the lemonade to half strength...

Yeah, but that doesn't seem to be the selling point with Obecalp. The way I read it, the idea was to offer the child something to stop the whinging.
