I don't agree with them, but that's hardly news. Is this based on your other features, or due to lack of emotion. And if so, do you consider that a compliment?

Yes I considered it a compliment, and probably because I've been pretty coldly rational to both of them.

Okay. I didn't want to elaborate until I understood your feelings on the subject. [Wave] If you look very close, this guy is actually holding his fingers straight with a space between the middle and ring fingers.

While AJ seems quite rational, she has never seemed cold to me. [Dont Know]

I am curious about the specific circumstances that led to their diagnosis.

I was referring to her logic and ability to separate emotion.

Not that she's coldhearted. Jeez.

*grin* Or you could say I let them have it equally. And I'm not sure that it is a diagnosis. It could only be a fever induced state of mind due to the ear infection I have.

Ivygirl was born with a pointy ear (she is going to kill me for telling that here). It was extremely pointy. It is not as much now that she's grown, but still noticeable. We always used to call it her "Spock ear" and tease her about it.

However, the other day, she informed me that was old news. "Now it is called an 'elf ear' Mom, and that is cool."

See what LOTR did? [ROFL]

I'm glad to see you posting AJ. I was getting worried that it wasn't just an ear infection you had.

Well the ear still hurts, but the fever is finally gone so I'm at work today. Don't feel the greatest but it is better than being stuck at home. I guess if its still clogged on Friday after repeated steamy showers, and antihistamines and antibiotics I'll go back in.

I've been thinking of trying Sara's sinus drainage irrigation method even though my nose is totally not congested. The doc said if worse absolutely comes to worse, they can do something where they get to the eustacian tube through your nose to manually drain it out. [Eek!]

lol, actually I'm not much of a Trekkie so the amount I actually know about Vulcans isn't much other than they are supposed to be absolutely logical.

Apparently, Vulcans are logical because they are so deeply passionate that they have to turn off almost all emtion in order to not destroy themselves.

The ear thing bites.I once had an outer ear infection, and it's some of the worst pain I've experienced. They had to put a wick in my ear in order to get the medicine in, and I lay on my bed for two days crying because of how much it hurt.

Yeah, yeah, I'll admit, it was fairly lame. What can I say?

I don't know Dag--there are an awful lot of people taking him at face value, including people that should know him well enough to know better.

It's a middle-inner ear infection Kat, on the other side of the eardrum. If we could get to it from the outside it would already be on its way to being gone by now.

Yes they do... to quote Tolkien they have "leaf shaped ears". [Smile] But of course, it's more the eyes than anything else...

OK, I found a reference to some unpublished work. Again, not cannon. Smacks of triclavianism to me. [Big Grin]

I'm an atrocious speller, so probably often.

I spelled triclavianism right, though, thanks to the miracle of copy and paste.

*grin* I don't think you make many mistakes Dagonee. Normally you are so articulate, I always end up wishing I could be half as articulate as you, even when I disagree.
