thanks for the info, Paras and Leo.

and just for the record, I very rarely am off in Wonderland.

i just find my ring size thing kind-of bizarre because it's different every day, and often doesn't follow a particular pattern... though I do notice a rather marked difference when I've been walking for a couple of hours and when I spend a lot of time on the computer... good to know though. I'll stop drinking unmarked 'drink me' bottles (I tend to avoid the 'eat me' cookies already) and perhaps swing my arms around some more.

You know what would be really sweet? A railroad schedule so you don't get caught by the train. Booo train, boooo.

Good morning world... off to work

Thanks Paras.

well hi there, i work in a few hours and i'm still up

At this particular cross-junction of time, yours truly is very much in a condition that is commonly known to gynecologists as "motherfucking stoned like a motherfucker in Simon's house typing on his computer while everyone else is passed out". That's fucked uppp. Maybe I will regret this post later, but probably not.

Wha?...

I'm thinking of doing something tomorrow. I'll phone you dudes tomorrow when I can think of something.

Alison, when your sleeping your cardiovascular and lymphatic systems don't have to pump against gravity, so more fluid gets to all of your body parts, but as you stand, your body has to move fluid against gravity and since the vessels for the arms are above the heart somewhat less fluid goes to your arms and ends up going to the legs instead (since fluid moves with gravity and veins have to pump against it, you usually get alot of swelling in the legs if you stand all day)
And as a side note, if your legs are unable to pump all the blood and lymph back to your heart, you can end up with vericose veins or deep vein thrombosis...
