    Yeah- I'm familiar with his art, vaguely, but the guy I was talking to said he'd written, "some really epic stuff."  I was hoping to get my grubby paws on that so's I could take a gander.

    Heh- my parents are both well into their their sixties, and they're still having the time of their lives- I'm not sure they're ever going to hit middle-aged!

    Ah the joys of being in another timezone, halfway around the world…

    Happy, happy Jimmy, and many more besides!

    Gotta say, I think the most telling comment was the person who complained that if s/he wanted YouTube, s/he had to pretend s/he wasn't Chinese/from China.  While I doubt that the Chinese economic juggernaut is in for seriously rough times anytime in the near future, I think the social system cannot easily survive without some major changes…

    Looks spot on to me, P4WN'd.

    And I want one, too, Lingster.  Is this where the line and the pre-orders start?

    Very nice, Dave- I admit the bouncing boobies made me chuckle just a bit…  Good fun!

    No worries.  Take your time.

    Ouch, a dislocated shoulder that is going to be a serious problem. They normally take a lot of brute force to fix, so what's going to happen to someone of Sylph's size and strength is going to be interesting!

    One point is how little attention Sylph seams to get from the public. Considering her size you would think she would be being chased by journalists, scientists etc all the time.

    Or at least by sports writers, eh?  I have thought about that, some, and my current take on the matter is that Sylph doesn't get a whole lot of attention because… I haven't written any for her.

    And, yeah, the dislocated shoulders took some fairly heavy-duty machinery to repair coupled with a very competent doctor's delicate touch.  Sylph was none too happy about it and confided to me that she hoped she'd never be put in a similar situation to that ever again.  At least, she noted wryly, the wreckage in this latest chapter wasn't a result of any accidents that she caused.

    I assume you've already checked the wiki on this subject, but in case you haven't yet:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasodilator

    There are also several WebMD articles, of which the FAQ is probably the most useful for your purposes:

    I think the most important thing here is to be aware of your blood pressure, because weight training helps to lower it, as do vasodilators.  It might be possible to lower it to a point where it became dangerous or life threatening.  As with any drug, it would probably be best to consult a doctor before beginning a program that mixed these drugs with training.
