So who posted the article on oxytocin? I find the connection between oxytocin and parental bonding very interesting, but that article leaves me with many moments of WFT, esp:
The potential uses of oxytocin offer commercial possibilities well beyond individual patients too. Restaurants, for instance, could spray a thin mist over customers to put them at ease.
Commercial use? Really? You want to use oxytocin to increase consumer spending? Is that really what's wrong with Americans today--we don't go out to dinner enough?
It could be used as a benign form of tear gas, quelling any violent feelings among groups of demonstrators, or, building on the Atlanta research, even to prevent extramarital affairs.
Yeah, now both of those are a bit off to me, but I'm wondering with the second use--how does that one work? "Hey doc, I've been seeing someone on the side." "Really? Hold on, let me write you a Rx on that." "Viagra?" "Well... not exactly..."
Why don't they just pump Ecstasy into the air vents at work, so we can all love our bosses?

I'm thinking it's more "hey, doc, I'm worried that my spouse is looking around... do have anything I can surreptitiously spray on his/her food so I don't have to go to all the trouble of talking about our issues?"

Having just been to a Serenity screening. No. Or rather, HELL NO!
Hey Susan, speaking of Facebook, I think one of your friends wants to friend me, but I'm not in the habit of friending strangers. But her name is I think Keira something? Does that ring a bell?
Good gracious-- Lillian is almost unbearably cute!

Doesn't this sound a little bit like what happened on Miranda in Serenity the movie?
Ha! Serenity x-post with Sophia!
But her name is I think Keira something? Does that ring a bell?
Yeah, she's another aspiring writer that I know from both local events and Regency circles. My guess is that she's got your name confused with some writer or other.
Lillian is so damned cute!
Ha! Serenity x-post with Sophia!
We're gonna end up with Reavers, aren't we?
