You would imagine - and in so doing you would be neglecting that metabolic rate is the primary factor in how fluids are processed. Water is the materials carrier of the metabolism of the body. A small person with a high metabolic rate will need more water than a large person with a low...

No, though not everyone has that problem. My father would be right next to you in that sort of thing, and the husband of the woman who was the matron of honor at my wedding is a complete doctor-phobe. (Iatrophobe?). I'm a firm believer in finding out what needs to be done to stave off the...

I would say that body fat doesn't strongly contribute to frequency of urination unless you are gaining or losing weight. Passively stored fat isn't doing anything at all, metabolically. On the other hand, difficulties in voiding bladder content WILL affect frequency of urination. Basically a...

Since you hit a sailing quote, thought I would return one: “If a man knows not to which port he sails, no wind is favorable.” - Seneca the Younger

Yep, lots of functionality. My Technics F5 is fully MIDI compliant. Among other things, that reflects the number of different voices it has to have in order to claim adherence to the MIDI standards.

The requirements for frequent "wake-up" calls occurred while I was still working. Now I sleep very well but back then I was always cat-napping. In order to be ready for work, I had to get up at 5:25 AM (local) and had to be on the job by 7:00 AM. So no, I could NOT sleep longer to make it...

Role models are a large part of who you are and offer a lot of support by giving you an example. They become the goal to which you aspire. So... who were the people who were important in your life? And, if you think you see someone who wasn't a role model for YOU but who IS becoming a role...

PS - Korgs are good keyboards. Never had the chance to play with an Ensoniq. My home keyboard now is an old Technics F5, which you can search online to find some youtube videos of organ hobbyists playing popular music. You can also find some adds for them. Technics got out of that business...

Math isn't the field that correlates with music performance ability; programming and cooking do. Both involve the ability to follow sequential steps that are part of a greater goal. Programming the steps to solving a problem, following the steps of a recipe, and playing the notes written as...

No. Late night snacking keeps me awake because I'm wired. Perhaps elevated blood sugar gives me extra energy and I have no easy way to burn it off? The problem has nothing to do with bladder voiding. Ever since my prostate surgery that allows me to empty my bladder in a single event, I don't...

Not at home. You might get better answers if you posted that question on the Access forum.

I would say that 95% of the time, I do not have this problem. MAYBE once at night I have to get up for a bathroom call, but I get right back to sleep quickly. When I was having serious gall bladder issues, I would wake up several times a night for digestive issues. (That's the kind way to put...

When I was in college - and particularly in grad school - I discovered that I am DECIDEDLY not a morning person. In particular, when on the weekend and playing music to pay for that college degree, I played my keyboards best after 9 PM, though some of the really LATE gigs on Bourbon Street took...

Right now I'm avoiding most of my cranky attitude. I know that my wife's foot IS healing and she will be able to take back some of the duties she had to hand off to me. But there ARE times when I get a little rebellious. Then I remember that SHE does that stuff for me and I bite back the...

One of the reasons I am not on FaceBook is that the mental acuity of the user mob is not, on the average, very high. Obviously there are intellectual standouts. Just as obviously, it is easier to stand out when you are surrounded by dolts. Another reason I'm not on FB is because of the...

Hmmm... Jon, are you being obscure or did the thread just change from movies to soccer? It IS, after all, your site - but I would like to be able to keep up with the leaps of logic now and then.

Now that is what I call "involvement." Way to go, Bee!

The whole point of the movie was that old ways of thinking CAN become outmoded because of new learning. Billy Beane did what he did because he had no choices left. And those scenes where he is explaining the new reality to his scouts was just a beautiful clash of different generations. The...

Mostly single-player first-person shooters, but sometimes I play something in the 4X genre - explore, exploit, expand, exterminate (the opposition). Of the latter, one can mention Sword of the Stars and Civilization: Beyond Earth. I'm still working my way through another iteration of Skyrim...
