^ Do I have to reach 1000 posts first?

No, the threshold is 500 posts, unless Das Fuehruer has decreed otherwise.   ::)

Started the culling of my geoscience/volcano oriented periodicals.  Repetitive articles, outdated info, and a plastic bin that weighs more than me.   Time to recycle or send them to a good home!

I got a $100 tip,  so did my helper :headbang2:  Even after we filled up one of their kitchen cabinets with insulation twice(There was a hole in the wall behind it and we were blowing insulation in the walls from outside)

Got through my scale and clean at the dentist without bleeding. My mouth is still feeling a bit tender but that's ok.

  Good for you!  Stay on top of that!  It's worthy the effort.  :green:

Found out my butyric anhydride and cinnamyl chloride are due to arrive soon, as soon as one other reagent gets to the supplier through their contacts (they have to go through someone who knows someone that works at sigma-aldrich, it does mean I can order well nigh anything at all I want, but theres a couple of weeks delay between their sending it me and my first placing the order. Could have had the anhydride and the halide sooner, but I decided I'd sooner wait a little longer and save £30 in shipping (flat rate, not sure what weight up to, or if it excludes things that would pose a danger if packed with other reagents incompatible with the first thing or things, and thus need separate shipping, but the means of obtaining such has been so far very reasonable to me with shipping, allowing me to order, wait two weeks and then as the original order arrived with them, allowed me to place another order included under the same shipping)

Presumably there is a limit on the flat rate part, as after all one could hardly send say, ten tons of items for the same price as they could a gram, or a few kg. Can't wait to get going with my project though.

  I woke up around 4 a.m. and realized I'd slept about 7 hours straight, which I hardly ever do.  :thumbup:

Yesterday I went to bed about halfway through the night, woke briefly to go make a dr appointment, managed to get probably the last onne, arriving a few minutes after they opened surgery at 8am, with the dr I needed to see, one left at half 6 in the evening. Went right back to sleep, until my appt, then online briefly, thence right back to sleep afterwards, got back took a couple of two kinds of sleeping pill, a benzo (nitrazepam) thats decently hypnotic and long acting, so with the other, a barbiturate-binding site agonist, although not one of the barbs, to serve as induction, along with some strong muscle relaxants and a small dose of morphine, plus a few oxy up the nose, and a small dose of morphine (the rest was being saved for something more interesting) and as soon as said more interesting thing is done, I'll be going back to sleep all day and night again)

Went to the dentist. My teeth are perfectly clean as usual. Never had any fillings or anything done to my teeth, except years ago when I had braces, and once when the end of a tooth was sanded down slightly cos I'd chipped it a little.

Hey, I just went to the dentist yesterday! I had a scale and clean which isn't the most pleasant experience but I got through it.

Last time I went for a checkup, they told me my teeth were boring because there was nothing wrong with them. At nearly 40 I think I'm doing ok with two fillings and a cap.

I'd imagine a scale and clean feels kinda horrible. My teeth have been sensitive ever since I had braces so maybe that's why I feel that way. I'm not sure how I worded the above came out...but I meant braces and the sanding of one tooth was the only thing I'd had done to my teeth (except for the removable of teeth for the braces), not that I had fillings done then, I don't any fillings.

I'm not sure how many fillings an average person has...how many do they have? I assume two fillings and a cap is a great thing.  8)
