Guess what time it is?

 

[Verandah Man]

Don't know............

It's time this thread takes over the top spot in replies on the cruise meets forum board!!!

 

[Verandah Man]

That was just a little "FLUFF" on my part................

My first thought was "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray"
But then I read the recipe & I can't figure out why you would use 0 calorie butter substitute in a recipe that concludes with "deep fry for 5 minutes".

Actually, done at the correct temprature, the food doesn't absorb any oil. I did fried cookies last Xmas, a double batch (about 12 dozen). Used only 2 Tbs of oil to fry the bunch. The trick is keeing the oil at the correct temprature (350 degrees for the cookies).

I just finished dying my frock coat material, came out pretty good. Only some uneven spots, adds character.

It was a big load! 6 yards!

Thanks for the Rit tips Esteri and Arlene, they helped.

Will be working on my coat for the next few weeks.

That is a big load! If you did it in hot water a bunch of times the fabric is completely shunk. You won't have to worry about shrinkage in the future. Glad it turned out well.

Knowing a bunch of you are selling Scout Popcorn during the dangerous popcorn dust scare, (anyone want any, let me know)

Thanks, we didn't start Cubs until Webelos. DS10 is a Webelo 2 now. We've just joined a new pack - so only had about a week for the whole popcorn thing. I think we'll give it a miss this year.

the Zen V has a 1.5" Organic LED screen.

That's California Certified Organic? It's a stricter standard you know...

I've never seen an LED tree, organic or otherwise. Certainly something I wouldn't mind having for my garden. Seems like a very useful sort of plant. Perhaps it's not a tree? Do you think LEDs grow underground? Might be a root.

OK, I got it today in email from a friend. And it has nothing to do with Pirates. But it's just too funny not to share.... Sorry about the crazy font sizes, not everything would change when I tried to make it smaller.



The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid term.
The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well :
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today.
Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct......leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."
THIS STUDENT RECEIVED AN A+.





Somehow I doubt this was ever really an exam question. But that doesn't make it any less funny...

I totally understand the pirate joke about Chuck Norris. Every time I see him on TV, I want to cover my eyes. I am ashamed (somewhat) to admit that I have always called him "Dog Face Man". He obviously is not my type.

 

[arlenesp]

Stace how is the foot?

 

[arlenesp]

Esteri, I have to copy that and send it out. It is too funny................

 

[justmestace]

Tyreak, I found a better one......

Tyreak, I found a better one......

That's a cute one!

FINALLY! A sensible explanation.

Thanks!

We're getting there. Without getting too gory, the incision had come open a bit, and we figured out that it's because I hadn't been elevating the leg enough, which made my foot swell, and of course all the fluid has to go somewhere, and the nearest opening was the incision. It's not infected (whew!), so if I stay away from here (darn it!) and in my recliner or on the bed with the foot waaay up I should be good as new in...oh....3 or 4 more weeks. At best.
Thank you, for asking and thinking of me. And sorry if that was TMI.

I am soo glad that there is no infection. Just keep off the computer!!!! We want to see you all better real soon.

Nothing a nice laptop won't fix... Think insurance will pay for it?

Hey! get back on that recliner!

Well, at least it's not infected.

Does your doctor know how your DIS withdrawal is affecting you? Get better fast. You need to be walking in March.

Sorry for any groundhogs. I think I'm all ketchup'ed. It was a really rough week at school, with exams, a quiz, a final, and a paper. Next week will be a little crazy too, and then things spread out a little bit more again.

To add to the excitement, while I was at work last night, DW called to tell me that Nick(DS8) fell of the monkey bars and hurt both wrists. I came home and she took him to the ER. Turns out he broke his arm, but luckily it was only one (the one he writes with, of course) and it's only broken in one place. He has a hard plastic immobilizer, and I'll take him for his cast next Tuesday. I guess that's the end of soccer for Nick for this year.

I'll try to pop in for chat tonight. I really enjoy talking to everybody. But I may just fall alseep out of exhaustion from last night's near all-nighter. I'm getting too old for this college stuff. Thank goodness this is my last year of classes. I'll be sooooo ready to celebrate by the TOAL!!

Mike I sure hope Nick gets to feeling better soon And it would be the one he writes with
