Marilyn's going to LOVE skimming through our drunken jibber jabber when she gets here in a couple hours!

 

[Tink rules]

Bet none of you knew that I had such hidden talents.

REALLY??? WHICH ONES????

 

[gaylean93]

I'm almost as confused as Holly is tonight... I'll just stick to -32 and bluff it... if it's cold...it's cold...

Well 30 is a little better than 30 below, even thought I've never personally felt either one

Either she'll skip it.. or have a great desire to go grab a beer..

I found that there is a very simple way to convert from C to F and get a fairly good "ish" idea of the temperature by doubling the number and adding 30 to give you a very rough approximation of what it is in Fahrenheit.

So, 10C would roughly be 50F, 20C would be 70F (where actually in an accurate conversion it is 68F). It is not exact but it's close enough to know how to dress.

Below zero it still approximates somewhat OK. If it's -10 C, you double it (-20) add 30 and you get 10F ... in an accurate conversion it would be 14F. Again close enough.

that's a fantastic mental shortcut - I can't do the whole 5/9th thing in my head. Here all the weather forecasts are in Celsium so when we go south all I know if 90 is fairly warm and 100 is sweltering

You like cowboys, do ya? I love corn fed white boys

I didn't think I really typed that, but only thought it. I should be polite and go back and delete that part!

 

[gaylean93]

I really was! And you didn't even notice!

Well I had to pee and make a drink. That must have been 2 minutes

These talents??? and what if I want to go back to celsius?

Michelle & Holly what time zone are you in (+2hours from west coast?)

 

[gaylean93]

I love Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy. I just went to Gaylean's myspace. I like the mellow beat of the song. When you said Dido I pictured a guy singing not a girl.

I danced with Jon at "Love songs" night to that song but you may have been at dinner still.

A NEW OLYMPIC RECORD!!!

just do the opposite - Take F -30 divided by 2 (I'm a geek at heart)

I have no recollection of Love Songs night, either I was still eating or am just forgetful!

Eastern...it's 1:10 here... way past my bedtime except if you ask Marilyn who I am usually up talking to if I'm working with the guys overseas... or I'm talking to Nan or Gaylean cause they don't have to go to sleep for hours...

I'm in NY State...

 

[gaylean93]

The only Peppermint Patty I remember is the one from Charlie Brown. Sorry sir!

Oh maybe you're right. What was the peppermint girls name? I still have it and it still smells like peppermint. I'm so old. That was my favorite toy

Is that -15 or -60? I'm not a geek... but I play one on TV...

 

[gaylean93]

Wow, I'd think further north would mean more snow!

it better not be

You are correct, that was poor math ettiquette. (F-30) /2. I have to remember this so I don't have to pull out the calculater next time it comes up at work. I am a lab tech and wear a bright orange reflective vest with many pockets filled with calculator, highlighter, pens, pencil, micrometer, measuring tape - its a very sexy look

 

[gaylean93]

I sure wouldn't know, I've never been a morning person.

Me either, that's the beauty of it. This is us at 21:

Dude, can you believe we stayed up until it was light.

Now way.

Yes way. We are sooooo cool!

We should eat. What time does Del Taco open?

We should go to a bar when it opens just to say we did it.

 

[gaylean93]

What, I've had lots of beer tonight.......my logic is fuzzy!

I still love ya, but only because everyone else appears to be gone
