It's full. It's not only full, it's overflowing.

It's overflowing so much, my shoes are saturated.

I don't need a reason why. It just is.

From your overly optimistic friend, DD.

How big is the glass? Is it a shot glass, brandy snifter, or banquet gobler.

ADE: aaaahhhhhh......wonderful new dimension, and provocative for sure. And it also triggers a very precious memory. In her last years, my mom came to live with us. She was legally blind from macular degeneration, and had broken both shoulders in a fall. Her physician said we should only give her one shot a night of her "martini." When I'd bring it to her, with my own substantial Manhattan in hand, she would look out thru her peripheral vision and say, "How come I only get a thimble and you get a tankard?" So, I'd say, pick whatever container works for you.

DOG: you are much too modest, Sir. You are not only optimistic and a friend, but connected/informed as well! You just added an ounce or two to my glass, and I thank you.

ADE: tried to respond to your keen post earlier, but seem to have pushed some wrong buttons in the attempt. Here is my next try:
Your provocative/philosophical query brought to mind a very personal recollection for me. My mom, who was legally blind from macular degeneration, moved in with us after falling and breaking both shoulders. Her physician said we should limit her to a "one shot" martini at our evening cocktail time. Mom still had some peripheral vision, and when I'd bring her drink to her, with my hefty Manhattan in my other hand, she would say: "How come I only get a thimble and you get a tankard?"

In her memory and in her honor, I'll answer your good question in this fashion: The glass is a tankard. Can we fill it up?
