    AFAIK Andrea drinks very moderately. I don't think that is it.

    Is she a sleepwalker?

    Nope.

    You seem to know Andrea very well. ;-)

    Worked together for 15 years. Yeah, I know her well, but not unlawful,
    carnally well.

  4. This happens to me every now and then. I can bump into things pretty
    hard sometimes and not even notice it 🙂 At times it has been hard
    enough to cause me to bleed, but I don't recall it ever happening. The
    more I lift the less I tend to notice. I hate standing still, so I
    tend to move around a lot.

    I get bruises (oy, some of the places I get bruises) that I don't know about
    until they show up. I had a woman at the gym ask me discretely about
    domestic violence. I had to laugh and say, No, I'm just a soccer player,
    but thanks for your concern.

    That and I walk into tables and things like that - arms on the chairs at a
    movie theatre are a major killer! What diabolical furniture designer
    thought up arms that stick out farther (further?) than the chairs?

    Hope she heeded the blood test advice, as I have nothing serious to
    contribute.

    No, that would not be domestic abuse.

    That would be SOCCER ABUSE!!

    Get it right.

    Reminds me of my goat problem as a kid. I had bruises and chunks of my hair
    missing. My teachers were convinced that I was being beaten by my parents.
    It was a young billy goat, known as a kid. (Yep, that's right, that is where
    the term kid comes from.) They sent a teacher home with me to "disprove" my
    explanation.

    The billy goat immediately thought I brought someone new to play with. And
    chased her down and repeatedly butted her while she was on the ground.
    Which did not go over very well.

    But they no longer considered my family abusers or me a victim.

    They just thought we were crazy.

    I get bruising from a certain sex position that I absolutely do not ever

    told her I was just an aging athlete.

    It must not be a very remarkable position if you absolutely do not ever
    notice getting it.

    I notice that I'm bruised the next day. I never recall the injury in
    which I obtain the bruise. However I know what behavior will result in
    those bruises, even if I'm not quite clear on how or exactly when the
    bruising occurs.

    Luckily I'm not scared of bruising.

    But my point is that sometimes bruising happens just in the normal
    course of using a body, and furthermore that the co-worker might not be
    inclined to give Hobbes a full and clear explanation of what exactly she
    was up to that resulted in bruises.

    Haven't you learned the proper protocol yet Delenn??

    You have to have a fellow MFW member video you during these bruising
    sessions. Post the MPEG's to MFW.

    We will then evaluate your form and make suggesstions to correct your form
    so that you can avoid bruising.

    And my point was that you ought to have rephrased the sentence. Because
    it was unbearably awkward and didn't say what you intended it to say.
    At all.

    I couldn't care less about your bruises. Put some arnica on them and
    shut up about them already.

    I am curious why some people bruise easily and some do not. For some
    reason, I do not bruise easily, whereas my wife does. I can even hit
    myself fairly hard with a fist, and would not get a bruise. Usually,
    if I get a bruise from some sort of accident, it would be such that my
    skin is also injured (scratching, bleeding etc). My wife, to the
    contrary, gets bruises from the slightest bumps.

    IME, the differences you describe are fairly common when one person
    has a penis, and the other a vagina.
