No wonder they don't want to go. Teach them what food is.










;)

The Mr. has a cold, and I think I'm fighting the same one off. I'm winning...for the moment.

I think I'll go to the local dungeon this coming weekend. :nod:

May have been something I ate, or maybe a reaction to change of meds, but I'm into Day Two of Foul Bowel Syndrome.

Hey, you said to tell you anything ...

hope you..............
 

....................feel better




thats a real SHITTY feeling.................. :banghead: :banghead:



.................ummmmmmmmmmmm sorry


think of it as the purge before turkey day

yep. and i meant it.:)

Obviously, since I didn't kill the thread with my last post...

Taking on a challenge, Scotz?

Snickerdoodle Coffee is the bomb

I'm drinking hot spiced apple cider, and it's yummy.

I'm using my old ... slow ... computer. A virus has struck my newer machine and it's a nasty one. I'm going to take it in and have it serviced which may result in my losing a lot of stuff. :(

I hate when that happens.

db, you'd be amazed at all the data they can salvage from even a major crash/virus infection. Of course, when you hear the price of such retrieval, amazed doesn't quite cover it...more like shell-shocked....

DB, have you tried F8?

FB? Not thinking or not sure what that is?

Anyway, wife and I went to see the new James Bond show, Quantum of Solace today. Pretty good show, I thought. :thumb:

Rainy Thanksgiving in the desert today.

I enjoyed the new Bond, but found it a bit more Bourne than Bond.

Mrs OF and I start our trial retirement.

Congratulations to OF and his Mrs. Hope you enjoy your trilal retirement as much as I enjoy my real one. :boink:

I still should be cleaning---procrastination is my favorite sport!, lol

Congrats on your trial retirement, and congrats also on hitting 10,000 posts :thumbs:
I should be doing the same, and we share a sporting interest :p

I just had an image of another 'sport' I'd love to see those^^^ two share. :3way:

While it's funny to watch their reaction, a cat nor kitten can really appreciate the humor of a whoopee cushion.

When it becomes an Olympic competition, I'll be ready to go for the Gold!

:roflmao:


My something: I will be watching college football and drinking beer with my best friend and his dad for the majority of the next two days. :cheers:

and I'll go for the silver......uh maybe tomorrow.....

The meeting of the International Procrastinators' Union has been postponed indefinitely...

I was going to comment earlier, but I thought I'd just do it later. Well it is later.

I am looking forwards to a meeting on wednesday (or perhaps thursday)

I think my left breast is bigger than my right one. I wonder if I drink more water if it will even out?

me/ *tilts head to the right*


No! I don't have a kreek in my neck :tongue:

are you right hand dominant? from what I understand, most women are naturally a bit lopsided with the smaller of the breasts being on the dominant hand side, as women tend to exersize the pectoral and other chest muscles on that side more. Just like your dominant hand tends to be a bit bigger ie ring sizes.

patience is not my best thing

I had to clean up a mercury spill today. I was not amused.

Reminds me of last year, when I was digging in France, and I actually found mercury in the ground... Thinking that it was just little silver beads or something, I put a two or three of the pearls into my palm to walk over to show them to the director of the dig - opened my hand to find just the one blob, and thought, oh crap!

Mercury takes a long time to absorb, and the couple of pearls probably coalesced into one.

Hatmakers used the stuff for years on a daily skin-contact basis before their poisoning hit critical levels.

At Teachers College it was a diversion to chase mercury around a glass plate and watch it break up and join up again.

Oh yes, I only meant that it was then that I realized it was mercury and hadn't realized it when I was picking it up, lol.

But why did hatmakers use it?

It softened the inner leather strip which acts as the "washer" which holds the hat snug on the head.

They may have softened other parts of the hat, but that was the main.

Ooo very interesting. Our spontaneous interpretation of its presence on our site was that glass was made there... I'll have to read the report to see if they considered other options like hatmaking too!

Mercury poisoning, & its tendency to nibble away at the brain, led to the expression "mad as a hatter". I knew about hatmakers' use of mercury, but never knew exactly why; thanks OF.

Another example of how it's a miracle that any of our generation survived to adulthood, my mother thought nothing of letting me keep the mercury from a broken thermometer in a little plastic box to play with. Nope, no face shield, no hazmat suit, I just picked it up (or tried to) with my bare fingers.

Well, it eases my mind immensely that you all came into contact with mercury, and none of you have suffered any neuro-deficit for the experience, right? Right??? :P

Both my vet and my friend today said they played with mercury as kids; my friend said they did it in school, as a surface tension experiment. (She's a bit older than I.) Apparently, it's not dangerous to skin, unless you have an open wound. The problem is breathing in mercury vapors; it bonds to the lung tissue easily, and from there, enters the bloodstream without so much as a how-do-ya-do.

Gold processing too.

The jury's still out on that topic :rolleyes:
