Is there actually a test for it available? Most of what I can find in the literature is experimental. The genetic testing seems so far to be more accurate for determining med regimens once one has been diagnosed rather than providing the actual diagnosis, let alone diagnosing it in someone who's asymptomatic.

How about spotted dick?

I'd rather see pictures of the Jersey Devil.

I thought it was a matter of instinct, not education.

It's kind of hard to take much more than an overnight bag on a Greyhound.

Are we talking minutes or hours?

Yeah. One of my daughter works retail, and she sounds the same way.

Same here. I was raised Catholic. What's your excuse?

Blame Sexual Chocolate and Sexual Frustration.

Yay non-Christian based! Does science-based mean that you get to do a lot of stuff beyond reading and bookwork?

Well, it does speak to either extreme naivete , or confidence bordering on hubris.

See, this always makes me worry - you're fishing in shark-infested waters and using Madison as bait. Not fair.

On-site hotels and restaurants?

Sometimes air makes me want a cigarette.

Quit complaining.

Four - you forgot Shemp.

Language.

Because she's a bright kid who likes to read. You can't make a kid like to read any more than you can make them like liver, and you can't coach her to be smart any more than you can coach her to be world class in a sport for which she has no aptitude. Come on, don't steal the poor kid's thunder.

Please remember that this is Madison's accomplishment, not yours. It's great that you provide her with a supportive environment for reading, but a kid either reads, or they don't. You were lucky - you got a reader.

Alphas drive their own cars.

When I talk to myself this much, at least I have the common decency to use an alt, to provide the illusion of a conversation.
