Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I get to miss my company's lame holiday banquet (we stopped having parties in 2000) without guilt - I'm not in the state anymore.

I know nothing of this "sports" of which you speak.

Go home, sumi's kitty!

My PBJ sandwich for dinner fails to excite me.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Suzi, I think 7th grade is still young enough that your email questions aren't intrusive. This could be a good learning experience for CJ in that you can show him that it's OK for him to ask these questions and figure out what he needs to do to bring his scores up. By the time he hits high school, he can be handling those issues on his own.

Right now I'm wondering if I should address a playground bully with Owen's teacher. This has been going on all year and the same kid seems to be continuing his taunting and picking on Owen at recess. I'm not sure if I should request intervention or not.

We're getting the football game broadcast here....

I had my H1N1 shot today. On the form, the gender choices were male, female, transgender, unknown. Unknown? Is that possible?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

It would also seem like, if they need the information for medical purposes, then they'd need transgender male or transgender female, rather than just transgender.

Huh -- when I was filling out the insurance sign-up thing, I could only pick male or female!

Maybe they're covering their Ranma 1/2 bases.

I guess you would pick unknown if you were intersex? They could have just called it other.

I think it may have been more for statistical purposes. It was a really basic form asking just name, gender, birthdate, healthcard number, and "do you belong to any of these high risks groups?" That last question was marked as being for statistical purposes only.

The whole thing was superefficient. From line-up to leaving, I was in there for just over an hour.

This is the first thing I've ever seen giving options other than male/female from a district health authority.
