Title: Questions for Callaway
Post by: Triste on August 27, 2006, 11:52:22 PM
If I pour a cup of bleach into 8000 gallons of water, how long will it take for the bleach to evenly disperse?
(This is a need-to-know question, not theoretical)
Title: Re: Questions for Callaway
Post by: Callaway on August 28, 2006, 12:01:33 AM
Do you know the temperature of the water?

Is the water still or being stirred?
Title: Re: Questions for Callaway
Post by: Triste on August 28, 2006, 12:09:28 AM
It is my drinking water tank, so is the ambient temperature which these days is around 80 degrees or higher.
And unstirred, which is the reason for the question.  You're supposed to take an oar and stir the bleach, but I'm wondering if there's a way to avoid stirring (have you ever stirred 8000 gallons of water?)

I am working on gathering the information necessary to give you an answer to this question, Triste.

My gut reaction is that it will disperse many times faster if you stir it than if you rely solely on molecular diffusion to disperse it, so I would recomend stirring it, even though it is a pain to do.  Even if you do not stir it perfectly, it will greatly speed up the rate of dispersion.
Title: Re: Questions for Callaway

Right.  Because I figured you'd know about rates of molecular diffusion.

Okay, here's another one (take your time):
When making homemade yogurt, why do you have to heat the milk to just below boiling, then cool it down to lukewarm (100 to 110 degrees)?  This makes no sense to me since the milk we all use is already pasteurized.

When making homemade yogurt, why do you have to heat the milk to just below boiling, then cool it down to lukewarm (100 to 110 degrees)?  This makes no sense to me since the milk we all use is already pasteurized.

Milk is pasteurized to reduce the bacterial content to 0.00001 of the number of bacteria in unpasteurized milk.  If you wanted to make yogurt from raw milk, you would need to pasteurize it first by heating it to 161.5 degrees Fahrenheit and holding it at this temperature for at least 15 seconds.  Heating the milk to just below boiling changes the structure of the milk protein so that that it does not coagulate and make curds and whey instead of yogurt.  You have to cool it off to lukewarm before you inoculate it with the yogurt culture so you won't kill the bacteria.

Sorry, but the molecular diffusion question is difficult for me to get a good answer for.  Molecular diffusion of the chlorine bleach into still water in the water tank would happen very slowly and that is why stirring it is recommended.  Actually, if the water tank is subject to temperature fluctuations between day and night, you would get convection currents from the colder and warmer water and also if you use water from the tank and add water to the tank periodically, that would mix the water more quickly than molecular diffusion.  I don't know how to calculate these effects in closed form, and a computer model would require a lot more information. 

McJagger, I have a Master's degree in Chemical Engineering.

(Bows down before Dr. Callaway)
Thank you!  Beautiful answers.

Question:  My master's program advisor is so disorganized and incompetent that both my learning and grades are at risk.  I have to take at least 6 classes taught by her.  Should I change tracks to get out of her realm; should I drop out of school entirely; or should I stick it out with her, complaining and documenting everything?
Title: Re: Questions for Callaway
Post by: Callaway on August 29, 2006, 12:52:36 PM
Tell me more about her.  What are your problems with her?

Why is she your master's program advisor?  Did you choose her?  What are her responsibilities as your advisor?

If the classes are required for graduation, then can you take them from someone else, or is she the only person who teaches them?

In a nutshell, the class expectations are extremely unclear.  Also confusing is how assignments are graded. She has written 3 different explanations of the syllabus and assignments, and they all contradict each other. She mixes up her terminology so it's impossible to tell even how many papers are due.  Despite my repeated questions to her about this, she still hasn't clarified anything.

She is my program advisor because of the track I selected.  She is the only person who teaches the classes - it is a small department.
Title: Re: Questions for Callaway
Post by: Callaway on August 29, 2006, 01:27:28 PM
Would you still need to take these classes if you chose a different track?
Title: Re: Questions for Callaway
Post by: Triste on August 29, 2006, 01:39:14 PM
If I chose a different track, it would take an extra year of school, but then she wouldn't be my advisor, and I'd only have to take 2 of her classes instead of 6.
Title: Re: Questions for Callaway
Post by: Callaway on August 29, 2006, 01:47:49 PM
Can you afford another year of school?  Why did you choose this track?  What about it appeals to you?  Is there another track that appeals to you as much as this one does, given that this person's teaching style is incompatible with your learning style?
Title: Re: Questions for Callaway
Post by: Triste on August 29, 2006, 01:51:44 PM
Sigh.  My age is the thing holding me back from adding another year to the program.

But I can see where you're going.  I'll see about changing later today. (From nursing administration to nursing education, btw)
side note:  you'd think somebody who teaches management and administration WOULD HAVE A FUCKING CLUE as to how to organize a  class, now wouldn't you.  I'm pissed but that's good - I DO need to change.

Howe do they make rice krispies?

I have never worked in a cereal manufacturing company, so this information is second hand.

Here is the list of ingredients:  http://www.kelloggs.co.uk/products/product.asp?id=49

You take Rice, Sugar, Salt, Glucose-Fructose Syrup, Barley Malt Flavouring, Niacin, Iron, Vitamin B6, Riboflavin (B2), Thiamin (B1), Folic Acid, Vitamin B12, mix it up and then shape it into something resembling grains of rice.  Then you bake it in an oven at a high temperature and it pops sort of like popcorn does.  The water that is inside the grains quickly vaporizes at the high temperature and makes the thin walled bubbles that are part of the structure of the Rice Krispies and these bubbles make that distinctive snap, crackle, pop when you pour on the milk.

I had a dream the other night that I was making rice krispie treats. They did not turn out right.

Well, I have tried to make them before and they did not turn out right because I did not want to put all the butter the recipe calls for in them.

Here is the recipe from the Kelloggs website:

http://www.kelloggs.com/cgi-bin/brandpages/recipe/recipe.pl?id=1605;skin=kelloggs

Ingredients

3   tablespoons margarine or butter 
1   package (10 oz. about 40) regular marshmallows 
   or 4 cups miniature marshmallows 
6   cups Kellogg's® Rice Krispies® cereal 


Directions

1. Melt margarine in large saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows
and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.

2. Add KELLOGG'S® RICE KRISPIES® cereal. Stir until well coated.

3. Using buttered spatula or waxed paper, press mixture evenly into
13 x 9 x 2-inch pan coated with cooking spray. Cut into 2-inch squares
when cool. Best if served the same day.

Yield: 24 squares

MICROWAVE DIRECTIONS:
In a large microwave safe bowl, heat margarine and marshmallows at
HIGH for 3 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Follow
steps 2 and 3 above.

Microwave cooking times may vary.

Note

For best results, use fresh marshmallows.

1 jar (7 oz.) marshmallow creme can be substituted for marshmallows.

Diet, reduced calorie or tub margarine is not recommended.

Store no more than two days in airtight container.


Servings: 12

I had really bad nausea and vomiting when I was pregnant with my daughter.  All the home remedies of crackers, flat ginger ale, etc, did not help at all and I couldn't keep anything down.  I lost 15 pounds and the doctor finally gave me medicine to keep me from vomiting all the time.  When I was finally able to eat, at first I wanted only mangoes.  After a while, I wanted Rice Krispies treats, but only if they were made without butter or margarine.  They do not look like the picture if you don't follow the recipe, but I liked them like that.

Well, that braising meat should not exceed 60 degrees...if it goes over that it toughens up...

But then you have the whole equation of muscle construction of the meat...ie; fillet steak has a shorter molecular construction therefore has different cooking techniques...

Well, it is the cuts of meat that have the long muscle fibers in bundles with connective tissue like chuck or flank that are suitable for braising.  You would cook a filet completely differently.

I know when you braise meat, you cook it in liquid whose temperature is just below a simmer, like a Crock Pot.  

If you cook it as a pot roast in an oven, you set the oven for about 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

60 degrees Celsius is 140 degrees Fahrenheit and that sounds a little low to me.

Yes, I know about the different cuts of meat...but apparently for braising 60 degrees is the upper limit.  Sounds very low, I know, but apparently that is the upper limit for braising from a technical term...and it does work....pays off completely...the meat just melts in your mouth.

The point of ear wax is to stop things from getting deep inside your ear canal.  For example if a small insect crawls into your ear, it is immobilized by the sticky ear wax.  It also traps dirt and sand thayt blows into your ear.  In some people, the wax gets hard.  In most cases, it migrates out of the ear and falls out without causing a problem, but in some people the hardened ear wax gets stuck near the ear drum and needs to be removed by a doctor with a specialized tool.  If you push a Q-Tip so far in, it is likely to pack the wax against your ear drum.  You can use an ear wax removal kit, which has carbamide peroxide drops and a bulb syringe similar to one you clean a baby's nose with.

My daughter has had problems with ear wax.  I took her to an ENT, but she was so worked up he was afraid to clean the wax out of her ears unless he knocked her out first.

Cured meats have high salt content and/or other preservatives, such as nitrites in them to retard bacterial growth.

Slow cooker
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Food safety
Slow cooker temperatures are lower than in most other cooking methods, and cooking times are correspondingly longer—typically 5–9 hours. Food must be heated to a temperature of at least 140°F (60°C) for safety; a properly functioning slow cooker must heat food to this temperature. As with any cooking method, cooked food must not be left at warm temperatures for long.

Frozen food should be defrosted before slow cooking. Defrosting should either be done at a low temperature to inhibit bacterial growth (i.e., in a refrigerator), or done quickly (i.e., in a microwave oven). Otherwise bacteria may multiply while the food is heating but has not yet attained a safe temperature to inhibit growth. Some bacteria produce toxins that remain in the food after the bacteria themselves are killed. Most, but not all, toxins are destroyed at high temperatures; the botulism toxin is one important exception, although the micro-organism which produces it is killed both by heat and oxygen.

Some foods contain toxins naturally. Many, but not all, of these are destroyed by cooking at slow cooker temperatures. However some legumes are toxic when cooked at slow cooker temperatures, especially kidney beans, and can cause food poisoning.[1] To avoid this problem, such ingredients should be boiled for 10 minutes beforehand.

Perpetual stews (pot au feu, olla podrida) should never be maintained in slow cookers, as slow cookers do not typically provide sufficient heat to compensate for frequent additions and removals of food; nor do they cook quickly enough to cook newly added food thoroughly before the next withdrawal becomes likely. This relatively slow recovery of temperature after an addition or withdrawal may cause safety problems. Removal of the lid lets heat and moisture escape, prolonging cooking time and giving microbes the chance to grow.

At 140° Fahrenheit, warming temperatures prevent growth but allow survival of some bacteria.

I have a Crock Pot, but I think even the lowest setting is above 140° Fahrenheit.

I'm actually googling it now...I'm thinking that slow cooking at the 60 degrees may be ok.

Are you talking Celcius or Farenheiht ??

60 degrees F would just make it rot,
over a long time.

I could only respect Callaway IRL if i met her IRL. Online you have to respect her, but the cynic in me doesn't trust those who try to plat it too straight. It always makes you wonder what they're hiding.

I think your statement that you believe that I have a "dark underside" because I am both kind and intelligent says more about you than it does about me.  Perhaps it has something to do with the way your mother treated you.  If I remember correctly, she was a religious fanatic who presented one face to her church friends and another face to her children.  She had factitious disorder and you did have that unexplainable illness when you were a baby so I wonder if she hurt you too and you were just too young to remember.

Nobody is 100% nice all the time, whether they are intelligent or not.  I am fairly patient but I have my limits, just like everyone else.

You’d is the contraction for both “you would” and “you had.”  I can't think of a sentence with "you had had" but if you can think of one, then you could properly use "you'd had" in its place.  If you used "you would had" then you would need a "have" in there, I think, so it would be "you'd have had" as in, "You'd have had a chance in the race, but you pulled your hamstring."

"You had had" is plusquamperfectum, "pluperfect". The first "had" is imperfectum or preteritum depending on which kind of grammar you've learnt; the second one is perfectum. The first "had" is a so called "help verb" to the second, because in English both the imperfectum and the perfectum form of "have" is "had". In Swedish the first "had" would be "hade" and the second" haft", together "hade haft", which is plusquamperfectum or, shorter, pluperfect. It's just unusual to use that form in English but not impossible.

By the way, do you know the ancient Gothic word for "had"? "Habadedeima"!  8)
Title: Re: Questions for Callaway
Post by: Litigious on May 21, 2007, 05:39:19 AM
It's really interesting, if you have ethymology as one of your obsessions. In "habadedeima" you can find both the root or branch or what you call the "core" of the word in English for Swedish "hade" ("had") and German "haben" ("have"). The Nordic languages and German have much more in common with the Protogermanic language than English has; the Protogermanic had the ending -an for the infinite form of verbs; only Swedish and German still have traces of that; Swedish verbs still have the "a" and German still has the "n"; English "burn" in the transitive meaning is "bränna" in Swedish and "brennen" in German. In Protogerman the word likely was "brannjan". Got it?  8)

My daughter was very sick when she was a baby, but we did not know what was wrong until she was a few days old.  Then almost every time a doctor came into my hospital room to talk, it was more bad news.  Apparently my daughter's pediatrician told my husband that she was concerned because I was taking the news too well.  Of course I was distressed that my daughter had these problems and that she would need open heart surgery before she was a year old and if we were lucky we might get her weight up to ten pounds before she had the surgery so it would be easier for her, but if I had just fallen apart, what good would that have been for my daughter? 

I did have a meltdown when I took her to the emergency room at the children's hospital just before she had to have the open heart surgery when she was three weeks old and the emergency room doctor who wanted to examine her coughed into his hands and then he wanted me to hand her to him, but he didn't wash his hands.  The problem with that was that my daughter had congestive heart failure and I had been told that a cold could kill her, so I told him to go wash his hands.

why did you want to become a chemical engineer?
Title: Re: Questions for Callaway
Post by: Callaway on May 30, 2007, 06:02:08 PM
Because I thought that I would be good at it.  My best subjects were math and science, including chemistry, and English before I went to college.

Why I ever thought I would be a good English teacher, I have no idea, but I always got straight A's in English, math and all the science classes I ever took and I particularly enjoyed chemistry, so I thought chemical engineering would make good use of my talents.  That is why I majored in chemical engineering.

excuse me for being dense, but, what does a chemical engineer do?

do they make cleaning supplies?

They could work for a company that makes cleaning supplies, like Dow Chemicals.

They could work for any manufacturer of chemicals, to design a process to manufacture the chemicals on a large scale.

They could work for any company that uses chemical processes, like a paper or plastics manufacturer, for example, or an oil refinery.

Yes, I have endometriosis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endometriosis), so I get really bad cramps.  I take Ponstel for them now, so they aren't as bad as they used to be when I took other things like Equagesic, which did not really help the cramps much at all and just made me goofy.  Even fairly strong pain medication did not really help that much, but Ponstel does.

Before I had my daughter, I had some large ovarian cysts, one of which ruptured, so the doctor put me on fairly strong birth control pills to stop me from ovulating.  I could not believe the feelings of rage that overwhelmed me over relatively minor things, like when someone cut me off in traffic, for example.  I wonder if women who have really bad PMS feel like I felt on those birth control pills.

Yes, they do - I have tried several times to take the pill and it is like I have a complete personality transplant.

I guess we all have different experiences on the pill, for the short time I could take it I was over the moon with it- no painful cramps, no PMS to speak off at all.  It wasn't worth the pay off though :\

I told the doctor about the problem, but he explained that the birth control pills were the best option for me at the time, because I wanted to preserve my ability to have a baby, but I was in no position to get pregnant right then and I wouldn't have been able to anyway.  I and everyone else around me suffered through my insane hormones and I tried my best to keep control of my actions.  It was so nice to be able to stop taking the pill when I wanted to have my daughter.

I enjoyed not having cramps etc. The payoff though= a blood clot- 1 week in intensive care, 1 week on a general ward, 6 months on warfarin with regular blood tests and finally having to inject myself with heparin everyday for the last 6 weeks of each of my pregnancies and 6 weeks postnatally.

Wow!  I got pregnant the first month I came off the pill, which was completely astounding to me, given my problems.  I can't imagine getting pregnant on the pill.  Did you keep the baby?

No- during pregnancy and the postnatal period I had to take heparin because the pregnancy hormones made me more susceptible to blood clots given my history.  I was tested after my blood clot though and I don't have a genetic pre-disposition to blood clots so it was simply the pill that caused it.

Yeah, I am so unstable. Mom's workes said hospitalization for her. I am so stable, I had room to have tears in my eyes. What is that about? What meds do take? Maybe I should hound you about taking more because you still do AS things. TAKE YOUR MEDS CALLAWAY, YOU MAKE ME UPSET.

Well no shit!

Callaway is one of the nicest people I have met in a long time.  Mom is mean half the time, dad don't care, I am even neglected by doctors.


How is this?
/me bows down to Callaway.  I have been doing that alot lately because I thinks its proper sign of respect, and I couple it with a smile.  Its exercise for my abs to.

You know who is a bitch?  My girflriend, I mean she likes wolves so much, and there a  like a dog which is a female dog.  She is quite a "Bitch" Sometimes, and those are the times when I act in professional manner to help her.  I generally say I don't want to argue, as it does not help you.  I don't Care about that 50 year old man you are daiting, I care about you.

So you don't feel left out,
/me bows down to purposefulinsanity.  You are also one of the nicest people I have met in a long time.

Do you understand what that means to a person with Complex Post truamatic stress disorder?  Do you know how tiring and at times annoying it is?  You do, by that awful pm I sent you.  I appologize again for that.  I bet you learned something from that, the same way I learned from my spats with Jessica.


Your not a gorilla, your a smart person with AS, just like my girlfriend.  You may eat bananas alot, but your certainly not a gorilla.  You do know that was a joke, sexual in nature don't you?  I bet you did.

That is a difficult question. 

I think that my morals are partially intrinsic and are partially because of the way my parents raised me.  For example, when I was a little kid, one time I took two toys at the dentist instead of just one after my appointment.  I hid the second toy, but when my mother saw it after I got into the car, she sent me right back into the dentist's office, alone, to return both toys.  That was tough for me, but it was the right thing to do.  I think that most moral values exist independently of a belief in a deity.

Interesting concept.  I was bought up with similar values.  I just rebelled on some things as I got older....not that I was a problem for my parents, but generally being a naughty girl appeals to my need to revolt against always being told I had to be a good girl and do the right thing.

"Thou shalt not misuse the name of God, your Lord, because the Lord won't let the one stay unpunished that misuses His name."

That's an almost literal translation from the Swedish Bible.

You shouldn't say "Oh, my God", but I also think that you shouldn't say his name, which isn't "God" but "Jehova" or "Jahve".

I'm not 100% sure, but I think that the ten commandments are by and large pretty sensical, but a prohibition on something as simple as a linguistic fuckup seems too nitpicky to be one of the Big Ten.  However, if you take it a different way- "taking in vain" meaning a vow rather than something you say when you stub your toe- it makes more sense.  Certainly, it's unethical to make an extremely solemn vow and not intend to keep it, like saying "I swear to God I will do this" but lyring about it.  Further, I think most people would agree (although differently interpret) the fact that it's a bad thing to commit atrocities in the name of your god.

I don't know the nuances of the original Hebrew, but according to Wikipedia (which is sometimes useful), there are some people who do go by an interpretation along that line.

Do you currently have an adjustable rate loan?

Do you have good credit?

What term do you want to pay the loan back?  30, 20, or 15 years?

The important things to look for are the effective interest rates, which will be given as APR's and also the company you will be doing business with.

yeah, ours is adjustable.  it was fixed at 5 1/2 but when i got very ill two years ago we needed money quick, so we refinanced.  it isn't a horrible loan, but i am worried about it's future.


my credit is so so.  i have this one credit card that i stopped paying.  when i got sick we put all credit on a ardship case.  citi-bank (used to be sears) termes were that we would pay zero interest and zero late fees if we wrote them six checks for a certain dollar amount.  then they would take that amount deposit each check each month.
funny, they kept dipositing the checks, but they were still charging us interest and late fees, and even at the end of the six months they were charging us over the limit fees as well, thatnks to all these other charges.

i kept trying to work it out with them, and they kept telling me it was fixed.  but each month i would have to call them again.
anyways, at the end of the six months, i told them that i was not going to pay them one more cent until they fixed all the eroneous charges and they sent me a breakdown of all charges against the card for twelve months.
needless to say they never did.

so i quit paying them.  now they sold it to someone else, and i still refuse to pay because i feel that citi bank defrauded me, and they sold a bogus debt to a collection agency.

sorry about that long story.


30 years would be fine.  i feel that we can plop down an extra couple of payments per year, in about two years.  which would probably cut the term down by about a third, anyways.

First of all, if it lasts more than two weeks go to the doctor or dentist, because they have medication that can help speed healing and if you let it go too long, it could get very difficult to heal.

For home care, before you go to bed at night, it is important that the canker sore is as clean as possible, so gargling with Cepacol mouthwash or some other antiseptic solution like those Litigious suggested could help.  You could also put a few drops of Gly-Oxide (which is carbamide peroxide and glycerin and is designed to use inside your mouth) on the canker sore and then swish it around your mouth and spit it out after you brush your teeth.

Avoid spicy and acidic foods until the canker sore is healed.  Try to avoid biting or injuring it again, which I know is easier said than done.

I looked here to see if I could find more suggestions for you:

I don't know, but I think that oral cancer can happen from repeated trauma that causes a sore that does not heal.  In my case they had to biopsy it just to be sure it wasn't cancer.  There was this large bump on the side of my tongue that never went away.  The biopsy showed that it was actually granulation tissue that had grown too high for epithelial cells to cover it, so the middle remained ulcerated.  I think this might have happened because it kept getting unintentionally reinjured because it stuck out on the side of my tongue.

The 11th grade algebra use of these variables 3a and b that I can think of would be where you teach the student how to solve two equations in two unknowns, like for a simple example:

The larger of two numbers is three times the smaller.  Their sum is eight more than twice the smaller.  Find the numbers.

Let a represent the smaller number and b represent the larger number.

b = 3a

a + b = 2a + 8

So substitute 3a for b in the second equation:

a + 3a = 2a + 8

So 2a = 8

So a = 4

b = 3a

b = 3 (4)

b = 12

The 11th grade algebra use of these variables 3a and b that I can think of would be where you teach the student how to solve two equations in two unknowns, like for a simple example:

The larger of two numbers is three times the smaller.  Their sum is eight more than twice the smaller.  Find the numbers.

Let a represent the smaller number and b represent the larger number.

b = 3a

a + b = 2a + 8

So substitute 3a for b in the second equation:

a + 3a = 2a + 8

So 2a = 8

So a = 4

b = 3a

b = 3 (4)

b = 12




Oh, sweet.  Math that I was actually decent at.  Adding equations is actually eleventh grade level, and they actually use a and b sometimes in addition to x and y?

(This is for a story I'm in the middle of; still random, but I want this small detail to be coherent.)

I think that it is covered in high school algebra, but many students don't retain the information by the time they get to college level calculus, according to my husband, who used to be a mathematics professor.

Yeah math is easy, especially algebra.  I took and accerated algebra course back up at stonnington highschool and got a b+ without even trying.

If there is no one to hear a tree fall, does it make a sound?

It would make no sound, because there is no air in outer space.

By sound, we commonly mean the vibrations that travel through air that are of the frequency that people can hear.

Sound travels in waves through matter, usually air, but sometimes other kinds of matter.

There is no air in outer space.  It's mostly empty space.

If there is no matter for the sound to travel through, then there is no sound.

Those sound effects of space battles on Star Wars or Star Trek would be impossible IRL.

No.  It is here because Triste (Aylissa) from WP started it here to ask me a technical question, because she thought I could answer it for her. 

It is a perfectly reasonable place for her to have started this thread, because "What's your crime? Basic Discussion" is a place for this type of discussion.

I am unwilling to answer personal questions of the type that are often asked in the Ask Away threads, so moving it there would make no sense.

It is stickied here because someone asked me to sticky it, but if this bothers you, I could unsticky it and let it fall off the first page, as it did before.

I saw a movie called John Q with Denzel Washington where he planned to do that for his son who needed a heart, but he did not have to in the end.  He knew he was an appropriate tissue type match for his son, so he planned to kill himself so the heart transplant surgeon could use his heart for his son.

Here is a blurb for it:

Quote
There is probably no stronger love than that felt between a parent and a small child. In John Q, this is explored through a father's desperate attempt to get a heart transplant for his dying son. When he and his wife discover that their insurance will not cover such a costly procedure he grows more and more frustrated until finally he does the only thing he has left to do. He takes over the emergency room, holding several patients, interns and a doctor hostage, demanding that his son is placed on the heart donor list.

That is what my daughter's medical bills were, $250,000.  Thank goodness we had health insurance that covered her, even though it was a HMO which kept sending her home from the hospital to die.
Does she still have those problems?

Hope that you don't mind that I answer here instead of on the suicide thread, Eclair.  I can get kind of long-winded sometimes.

My daughter was born with a large Ventricular Septal Defect.  That is a hole in the heart that is located between the main pumping stations, the ventricles.  It caused excessive blood to flood her lungs, while not enough was being pumped to her body.  Her heart could not keep up with all this extra work, so she went into congestive heart failure when she was just a few days old.  We tried Digitalis and first Aldactazide and then Lasix.  She was losing weight while her liver swelled and she was struggling to breathe enough to keep all the blood in her lungs oxygenated.  We tried switching from feeding her breast milk to feeding her expressed milk from a bottle, then we tried adding more calories to it, then we used a feeding pump at night.  Nothing helped.  She had open heart surgery when she was just three weeks old to fix this VSD, as well as a couple of other heart defects she was born with, a PDA and a PFO.  Then she nearly died and had to go on ECMO for almost a week.  ECMO stands for Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation.  It is a sort of heart-lung machine.

Her heart issues are pretty much fixed now, except she has a heart block, which is a conduction abnormality that shows up on a Electrocardiogram.  Also her lungs were affected by the excess blood flow for those three weeks, so she has a slight murmur.  She still has other medical issues that will need to be addressed in the future.

When he and his wife discover that their insurance will not cover such a costly procedure he grows more and more frustrated until finally he does the only thing he has left to do. He takes over the emergency room, holding several patients, interns and a doctor hostage, demanding that his son is placed on the heart donor list.

That is what my daughter's medical bills were, $250,000.  Thank goodness we had health insurance that covered her, even though it was a HMO which kept sending her home from the hospital to die.
Does she still have those problems?

Hope that you don't mind that I answer here instead of on the suicide thread, Eclair.  I can get kind of long-winded sometimes.

My daughter was born with a large Ventricular Septal Defect.  That is a hole in the heart that is located between the main pumping stations, the ventricles.  It caused excessive blood to flood her lungs, while not enough was being pumped to her body.  Her heart could not keep up with all this extra work, so she went into congestive heart failure when she was just a few days old.  We tried Digitalis and first Aldactazide and then Lasix.  She was losing weight while her liver swelled and she was struggling to breathe enough to keep all the blood in her lungs oxygenated.  We tried switching from feeding her breast milk to feeding her expressed milk from a bottle, then we tried adding more calories to it, then we used a feeding pump at night.  Nothing helped.  She had open heart surgery when she was just three weeks old to fix this VSD, as well as a couple of other heart defects she was born with, a PDA and a PFO.  Then she nearly died and had to go on ECMO for almost a week.  ECMO stands for Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation.  It is a sort of heart-lung machine.

Her heart issues are pretty much fixed now, except she has a heart block, which is a conduction abnormality that shows up on a Electrocardiogram.  Also her lungs were affected by the excess blood flow for those three weeks, so she has a slight murmur.  She still has other medical issues that will need to be addressed in the future.
Thanks, yes, I clicked the post button and then realised I wasn't in your thread!

Not exactly.  I was not working while I was pregnant with her and I had expected to spend time at home with her anyway, even if she had no medical issues.

Even if I had, she is definitely worth it.

Thank you.  I got to see my brother and be with him when he died.

I wanted to plant a tree in his yard for his family, but I didn't get a chance to do that.  I gave his wife some money so she could go and choose her own tree.

I went to his funeral on Saturday.  There was a slide show of photos of him that his brother-in-law made on a DVD, which people watched at the funeral as well as at the visitation at the funeral home Friday evening.  That was nice.  I was upset that the cemetary would not allow the live plants that people sent for his funeral to stay on his grave.  They were going to get rid of them and just allow the fresh flower arrangements that were on stands to stay there.  Anyway, I took two of the plants on the airplane to being them home with me and made several other people take a plant home with them too.  I know that was probably a silly thing to become upset about, but it really bothered me.  It is just a policy of that cemetary.  His wife did not have a lot of time to research different funeral homes and cemetaries and their policies.  She did not even know for sure if my brother wanted to be buried or cremated, but she guessed he would have wanted a traditional burial. She told me that I need to discuss these things with my husband because it was extremely difficult to make such horrible decisions for someone else.

I'm still really sad, but I had a nice dream about my brother where he was driving his old car and smiling and waving goodbye to me, so that helped.  The last thing I said to him before they closed his casket was "Bye."  His wife put a birthday card in his hand because July 10 is his birthday and he died one week before it, on July 3.

that's so sad, being near his birthday.  that happened with my dad - he died on the 13th, and his b'day was on the 19th.

mark his birthday anyway, hon - i light a candle or something as simple as that.  and i phone my mum, or make that one of my bi-annual visits, and my sisters and her do something to mark his birthday, even if it's just a glass of wine, or being all together.

We saw it on Saturday.  We went to a big theater in Denver which had an IMAX theater, but the IMAX was sold out, so we went to a regular showing there.  It was probably for the best because it was much less crowded.  I really liked the Order of the Phoenix.  I know they had to leave out a lot of stuff to make it fit in the allotted time for a movie, though.

Random, but you are all-knowing:  Is there some plausible way for a high-school (11th grade-level) geometry or algerba question to involve the variables 3a and b without being insanely simple?

The 11th grade algebra use of these variables 3a and b that I can think of would be where you teach the student how to solve two equations in two unknowns, like for a simple example:

The larger of two numbers is three times the smaller.  Their sum is eight more than twice the smaller.  Find the numbers.

Let a represent the smaller number and b represent the larger number.

b = 3a

a + b = 2a + 8

So substitute 3a for b in the second equation:

a + 3a = 2a + 8

So 2a = 8

So a = 4

b = 3a

b = 3 (4)

b = 12
This has had me wondering for ages...
Where did the 8 come from? Was that made up?
I am doing a maths program and I am stuck at this point in it. I think it wants me to make numbers up to put in the equations. But I don't like choosing. Do people just stick with one number all the time or do they pick randomly.

I don't know how to make numbers up to put in the equations.  If there are any denominators, then you can't choose a number that makes the denominator zero, or the fraction will be undefined.  Other than that, I would stick to small whole numbers, if these will make the math easier to work with.

If you want to post the questions, I could help you think of numbers, if you like.

One time, when my husband was a math professor, in one class he had problems with cheating.  Certain people were copying from their neighbors' papers.

He made up a final exam which had nine questions, each one of which had a box to insert a one digit whole number.  He instructed his students to fill in the boxes with the digits of their nine digit Social Security numbers, which were also their student ID numbers.  Several students, principally the cheaters, were quite upset by this and asked what would happen if they did not comply.  He answered that they would receive no credit for their final exam, because he had no place to put their names on the exam and would be using only their student ID numbers to identify them. 

Nobody had the opportunity to cheat, because they all had different questions.

It is riduculous, thankfully calculators still cant do most of the algerbra. What really tops it off is the exam board give you a whacking great formula book to help you as well. And of course if you make a mistake you still get loads of method marks, even if you bodge together a question you dont know.

it's to do with muscular tension - if you relax your muscles completely when someone tickles you, it doesn't tickle.

But if you tense up you still can't do it to youself, so there has to be slightly more to it than that.

I'm more curious as to what evolutionary purpose it could possibly serve.  It should be present/have evolved for some kind of reason, but it seems completely useless, from an evolutionary standpoint.

with regard to the QWERTY keyboard...

i'd be going for keyboards which predate typewriters, myself, in which case, you can choose from pianos, organs, virginals, harpsichords, accordians...

Sadly, I not only know of the non-qwerty, but I think I may know which letters are on it off the top of my head.  I know I know most of them.
Does it look like this?

what kind of keyboard isn't a QWERTY keyboard?

I think that it is called a DVORAK keyboard.

(http://f3.yahoofs.com/ymg/devlin/devlin-350189441-1148011408_thumb.jpg?ymReto7C86NXxMF4)

It was invented by August Dvorak in the 1930's to have the most commonly used letters on the home row, which leads to less carpal tunnel syndrome for typists and keyboarders.

callaway, why aren't people ticklish when they touch themselves the same way that others touch them and they are ticklish.

I looked this one up:

http://www.soundmedicine.iu.edu/archive/2001/mystery/tickle.html


Why can't you tickle yourself?

If laughter really is the best medicine, wouldn't it be nice if you could tickle yourself into feeling better? But a touch to even the most sensitive feet, underarms and bellies can't evoke even a smile when the tickle comes from our own hands. Why do we convulse with laughter when someone else lays a finger on us, but are immune to our own touch?

For those of you who spent the break experimenting with today's medical mystery, you can blame your brain for cheating you out of a good laugh.

When someone else tickles us, our somatosensory cortex, the region in our brain that helps interpret external stimuli, signals the rest of the body to react. When we tickle ourselves, however, the somatosensory cortex gets signals from another region of the brain to remain inactive because the touch is coming from our own hands.

The culprit is the cerebellum, an area in the back of the brain responsible for controlling voluntary movement and predicting its consequences. Researchers have found that when subjects attempt to tickle themselves, the cerebellum forecasts what will result from the movement and signals the rest of the brain to ignore the resulting sensation. Some physicians use this knowledge when they examine extremely ticklish patients by having the patients put their own hands over the doctor's to trick the brain into expecting the touch.

Scientists have long believed that tickling evolved in early man as a defense mechanism to alert the body when foreign and potentially dangerous objects were touching it. That helps explain why we're ticklish in our most vulnerable spots, such as the belly, which covers many major organs, and the neck, which houses the vital jugular vein.

i am going to try that.
i am going to have my daughter hold my hand while i try to tickle her.
i am not that ticklish myself.

also, i used to be alot more ticklish when i was younger.  and it seems as if many people lose the ticklish sensation with age.
why?

I'm not really sure that people do lose the ticklish sensation with age.  My husband is extremely ticklish and always has been.

If they do, it is probably due to decreased sensitivity of nerve endings that deliver ticklish sensations or else it is due to a person learning more self-control as s/he grows up.

No.  The QWERTY keyboard was designed so that typists were deliberately slowed down to reduce jamming their typewriter keys, so typists have to make more awkward repetitive motions.  QWERTY leads to carpal tunnel.  DVORAK keyboards reduce repetitive motion injuries, like carpal tunnel syndrome.

No, I do not love giving out personal information. 

Someone else started this thread and this is where she started it, which is why it is here. 

I don't want an "Ask me anything" thread, since I don't want to answer very personal questions.

I did answer a few personal questions because of my respect for the people asking them, then I got very uncomfortable with some of my answers being here and I deleted them.

Post by: Callaway on July 27, 2007, 06:39:17 PM
What's your happiest childhood memory/ies Callaway? 

That is a difficult question, since there are many happy memories.

I remember my dad teaching me to tie my red tennis shoes when I was four, just before we went to get a Christmas tree. 

I remember my mother and I going to get ice cream cones, just the two of us.  She got cherry vanilla and I got chocolate chip.

I remember my aunt taking my brothers' and my pictures when the younger brother was a baby.  He messed his diaper just before she took the picture and my other brother made a face and said, "Ooooh, something stinks."  She snapped the picture right then and it was a very cute face.

I remember visiting my grandparents and my grandmother saying that I was "smart" because I made my bed as soon as I got up.  She spent a month trying to teach me to bake biscuits like hers, but I was a dismal failure at that.  She taught me to quilt, though.

Another time my cousin and I visited her together and I was watching a show on television while she slept in one morning.  As soon as she woke up she changed the channel, but I was not done watching the show yet, so I changed it back.  We wound up in a fight over the TV channel and my grandmother came in and turned off the TV.  She never had us visit together again.   :laugh:

Do you remember when Dumbledore was disarmed by Draco with an Expelliarmus spell at the same time Dumbledore put a full-body bind on Harry who was under his Invisibility Cloak (Page 584 of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince)?  At that moment, Draco took Dumbledore's wand away from him and became the true master of the Elder wand, because when Snape killed Dumbledore, he was in collusion with Dumbledore, so Snape never defeated him.

It wasn't a troll, it was Griphook the goblin, but he was not really the rightful owner of Gryffindor's sword.  It is a magical sword that can come from the Sorting Hat to any Gryffindor in conditions of valor and need.  Remember when Harry showed great loyalty to Dumbledore in the Chamber of Secrets while he was battling Tom Riddle and the Basilisk, and the Sorting Hat, which had been empty, gave Harry the sword of Godric Gryffindor?  That was an example of the condition of need and valor, and Neville Longbottom needed the sword to kill Nagini, the last Horcrux.

read one and a bit.  died of boredom.  have no reason to read the others, especially as i avoid stuff which is hyped up as much as HP is.  i have no doubt they're great, but they're just not my cup of tea.

what's "alliterative SPAG"?

what's "alliterative SPAG"?
It was me trying to say a word, but not having a clue how its spelt (the Spag bit).
I started reading Potter before it was totally hyped, so i just had to finish off all the books. Also almost everyone else will have read it, so it would make me look a little uncultured not to, especially someone my age.

one of the joys of being older - i don't have to give a fuck about what people think about me, if i can justify myself.

but i've always been like that - was never part of the incrowd, was never likely to be, so i made being different (read "eccentric and outlandish") a lifestyle choice.  gives me a different perspective on things, which comes in useful, and which my students appreciate, cos i rarely (if ever) get caught up in "the emperor's new clothes" nonsense.

I dont tend to go for universal popularity by fitting in with a crowd, but people do tend to respect my slightly eccentric style. Being seen as a bit of a genius lets me get away with it. As for the emperors new clothes nonsense, i hate it too. I tend to call it pretentiousness, which is often plain boring. I did enjoy reading potter as well.

I didn't think so.

callaway, will you please explain the connection to the elderwand and malfoy.  and how did it make harry the rightful owner.  i just couldn't understand what he was saying or how his argument made sense.

Do you remember when Dumbledore was disarmed by Draco with an Expelliarmus spell at the same time Dumbledore put a full-body bind on Harry who was under his Invisibility Cloak (Page 584 of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince)?  At that moment, Draco took Dumbledore's wand away from him and became the true master of the Elder wand, because when Snape killed Dumbledore, he was in collusion with Dumbledore, so Snape never defeated him.

wow.  thanks.  that explains it.


now another potter question.  how did neville pull out the sword of gryffendor when the sword was in the property of that troll.

It wasn't a troll, it was Griphook the goblin, but he was not really the rightful owner of Gryffindor's sword.  It is a magical sword that can come from the Sorting Hat to any Gryffindor in conditions of valor and need.  Remember when Harry showed great loyalty to Dumbledore in the Chamber of Secrets while he was battling Tom Riddle and the Basilisk, and the Sorting Hat, which had been empty, gave Harry the sword of Godric Gryffindor?  That was an example of the condition of need and valor, and Neville Longbottom needed the sword to kill Nagini, the last Horcrux.

that's what i thought.  but i wasn't sure if it would only happen if the sword was on the grounds of hogwarts.



did you cry while reading the book?

i did, but only when dobey died.

Right now, I can't remember crying while I read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, but I cried like a baby when Sirius Black was killed in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

What's your happiest childhood memory/ies Callaway? 

That is a difficult question, since there are many happy memories.

I remember my dad teaching me to tie my red tennis shoes when I was four, just before we went to get a Christmas tree. 

I remember my mother and I going to get ice cream cones, just the two of us.  She got cherry vanilla and I got chocolate chip.

I remember my aunt taking my brothers' and my pictures when the younger brother was a baby.  He messed his diaper just before she took the picture and my other brother made a face and said, "Ooooh, something stinks."  She snapped the picture right then and it was a very cute face.

I remember visiting my grandparents and my grandmother saying that I was "smart" because I made my bed as soon as I got up.  She spent a month trying to teach me to bake biscuits like hers, but I was a dismal failure at that.  She taught me to quilt, though.

Another time my cousin and I visited her together and I was watching a show on television while she slept in one morning.  As soon as she woke up she changed the channel, but I was not done watching the show yet, so I changed it back.  We wound up in a fight over the TV channel and my grandmother came in and turned off the TV.  She never had us visit together again.   :laugh:

Thank you for sharing those Callaway.  I love those little snapshots the mind takes when one is young. 

And, can't imagine you fighting as a child....fiesty girl!

 :laugh:

I had strange notions about fairness, even then.

I thought that it was unfair for her to change the channel in the middle of my show.  She could have picked another show when mine had ended and that would have been fair.

Wow, that is high. When I visited GA when he was in Queensland, the location was about 900 metres above sea level.

It takes a while to become acclimatized to the altitude here.  After a few weeks, your body makes more red blood cells and your lung capacity increases.  When we first moved here, I was really surprised by my inability to just run over and see the view or something when we went up to 12,000 feet and by how hard I needed to breathe with what seemed like just a little exertion.

Some athletes train here, so they develop more capacity to exercise at lower altitudes.  Maybe they would be the people you see running up a mountain.

callaway, i have noticed that crosswalks have a standardized width to them.  is that something that was planned?  is there any logic to it?
for instance:  so two large people can walk side by side holding hands, while a cars wheels can still be outside the walk area even though the distance between the front wheels and the front os the car can still overlap into the walk.
Title: Re: Questions for Callaway
Post by: Callaway on August 05, 2007, 08:28:47 AM
I don't think crosswalks are a standardized width here.  They seem to have a minimum width of ten feet and some of them are much wider.

Here is an excerpt from Seattle's Crosswalk Guide:

http://www.ci.seattle.wa.us/Transportation/rowmanual/manual/4_12.asp

Quote
Standard Plan 712: Typical Crosswalk and Stop Line Installations
4.12.2 Design Criteria 
 
Location of legal crosswalks: Legal crosswalks exist at every intersection, unless otherwise signed, regardless of whether they are marked or unmarked.

Standard construction of crosswalks: New marked crosswalks should be ladder-style crosswalks that are at least 10 feet wide and designed consistent with Standard Plan No. 712. Marked crosswalks should keep as much as possible to the natural path of travel. Ideally they will align with existing sidewalks. Refer to Section 4.8.2 Curb Ramps.
Visibility: Marked crosswalks must have a reflective surface that is visible in hours of darkness or during poor weather conditions.
Site distance: No obstructions to pedestrian or driver visibility should be present within 30 feet of the legal crosswalk. These include parking, trees, and bus zones.
Orientation of building entrances to crosswalks: The manner in which new developments associate with the street impacts pedestrians travel patterns. Entrances and access points to new facilities should orient as much as possible towards a legal crosswalk. This is especially true of facilities where frequent pedestrian travel across the street is expected. Entrances and access points that orient pedestrians towards a mid-block crossing can promote mid-block or illegal pedestrian crossings. This problem is difficult to remedy after construction is complete.

Variation from standard construction of crosswalks: Textured and/or colored concrete may be considered in certain crosswalk applications. The following design criteria apply:

Area of crosswalk: At least 10 feet wide.
Curb ramps: Two are required at either end of the crosswalk.
Smooth surface: To reduce vibrations experienced by wheelchair users on bumpy surfaces, six feet of the crosswalk area must have a fully vibration-free texture and a limit of ¼ inch or less rise, not more than every 30 inches.
Visibility: Thermoplastic parallel lines on either side of a colored or textured crossing maintains visibility. Street lighting upgrades may be necessary.
Given the high cost of altering or relocating any crosswalk at which textured or colored concrete is used, approval for such treatments must be received from the SDOT Pedestrian Program before construction can begin.

If the crosswalks are all a standardized width in California, I think California must have different regulations. 

I know from reading the California driver's manual that in California, a driver has to stop for a pedestrian anywhere in a crosswalk, even if the pedestrian is not in front of them.  That rule is different from the rules everywhere else that I have lived.
Title: Re: Questions for Callaway

so, in seattle they just came up with the number of ten feet minimum.  there is no logic to it?


i understand that residential streets need to be at least wide enough so that two emergency vehicles can pass each other going in opposite directions.






yes, the california law is that a pedestrian has the right of way no matter where in the crosswalk they are.  a driver must yield until they have stepped back onto a curb.  i usually jog in a crosswalk for this very reason, and i get pissed at those people who take their sweet assed time....unless they are handicapped or frail.
the police here, set up stings all the time, to remind the people about crosswalk driving regulations.

I'm going to guess it was set at least that wide so two motorized wheelchair scooters could pass one another going opposite ways without having to leave the crosswalk, but I don't actually know.

that seems like a reasonable answer.  but, they are only about two feet wide each.


why is it illegal to ride a bike in a crosswalk?

In some states, bikes may be ridden in a crosswalk, providing they are traveling at a pedestrian speed.

In California law, if you are riding a bicycle, you are considered to be the operator of a vehicle.  If you dismount and walk this bike through a crosswalk, you are a pedestrian.

If you are riding a big tricycle in California, you are considered a pedestrian and may ride in a crosswalk. 

I think that this may be because some people with disabilities tend to ride those big tricycles.

I remember this happening in a science class:

One clear liquid was poured into a test tube of another clear liquid. Mixed together, they turned a bright milky yellow. I was fascinated by how vivid the colour was.

Do you know what the two chemicals might have been?

My thousanth post. A science one!

I have an ammonia test kit for my aquarium that mixes a few drops of a Nessler's reagent (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nessler%27s_reagent) solution with a measured amount of aquarium water and it turns yellow if ammonia is present in the water.  It is sensitive to parts per million of ammonia and it turns brighter yellow with higher concentrations of ammonia. 

Your two clear liquids could have been water with Nessler's reagent (mercuric potassium iodide) and water with ammonia. If the concentration of ammonia was too high, there would have been a brownish precipitate in the bottom of the test tube after it settled out of solution, but while it was suspended, it could have turned the solution milky.

I also have a test kit to measure chlorine levels in my daughter's swimming pool that uses a chemical called Orthotolidine, which turns bright yellow if there is enough chlorine in the water.

So your two clear liquids in test tubes could also have been an solution of Orthotolidine in water and a solution of dissolved chlorine in water.

It is just a small freshwater one, twenty gallons.  All it has in it are two Comet goldfish.  We were down to one six inch Comet we grew from a feeder goldfish, when one jumped out of the water and wound up dying, so we bought another one, "so the one left would not be too lonely."

Saltwater aquaria are beautiful, but very tricky to keep balanced.

I don't feel like looking it up, but since this  a questions thread, I will ask you.

Is the noun, dimericmacrocyclicellagitannin longer that that anti.. don't feel like putting the rest?

Is is the main component in plobrium agustifolia, used for prostate diease.  I think I spelled that scientific name wrong.  Well, that word is classifcation for, oenin B.  Fuck should go review that shit.  I always seem to wake up with in a piss mood, so maybe I should meditate before I study so I can remember this shit better.  I did come across the reason I was missing whole words.  When your adrenal glands are exhausted from stress, you might start searching for words.  It got really bad in high school algebra where I would mess up simple math.  I think algebra, especially that slow fuckn class is simple. Lucky me, everything is so easy to deal with.

Chemical name?, thought it was throw up.

Here is a couple of more I picked up in my studies

"Oenothin B"  is how its spelled.  I moved my studying from near midnight to during the day, because that makes for half ass performance.  I thought I did fine, but the high standarts must be maintained.  I did not copy that, I memorized that.

Dehydroepiandrosterone-  DHA

Ok, now, did you stop exercising after you got your black belt?  I know my mom would get pissed at me if I stop even though she not my guardian anymore.  She used to call me lazy if I only watched my diet.  R and R was eventually came up with, rest and relaxation.  I know that is far from the truth, after I meditate I suddenly get insanely active.

Chuck Cunningham was on Happy Days for only the first season.  They wrote him out in the second season with no real explanation.  Maybe he was away at college and never came home?

You are right Callaway.  He never came home.  I think he was at college.  Marion was such a loving mother too, I wonder why he turned his back on his family :P  Actually, it's a wonder they didn't try a spin off from it like they did back then.  Pathetically with the Joanie and Chachi show.  ugggh.  But even Laverne and Shirley...wasn't happy days a spin off from that?

I think it was the other way around.  Laverne and Shirley was a spin-off from Happy Days.  I think Laverne and Shirley were a couple of Fonzie's lady friends.
happy days began as a skit from the TV show: Love American Style.

i think it was just Potsy and richie, though.

happy days is my benny and joon.

Look what I found on Wikipedia:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love%2C_American_Style#Happy_Days

Happy Days

Garry Marshall likes to say that "Love, American Style" was where failed sitcom pilots went to die. And there was much truth to that. Many times, if a TV producer couldn't find a network interested in a sitcom pilot he'd made, he'd sell the unused videotape to Aaron Spelling, who'd use the funniest bits of the pilot as a segment on "Love, American Style."

In 1972, Garry Marshall came up with a concept for a sitcom about teenagers growing up in the Fifties, and shot a Happy Days pilot starring Ron Howard (as Richie), Marion Ross (as Richie's mother), Anson Williams (as Potsie, Richie's friend), among others. Roles played in the episode by Harold Gould (Howard the father), Susan Neher (Joanie, Richie's sister), and Ric Carrott (Chuck, Richie's brother) were played by other actors in the spin-off. Marshall tried, unsuccessfully, to sell the sitcom to all three networks, but was unsuccessful. At last, he sold the pilot to Aaron Spelling, who aired the show in February 1972, as "Love and the Happy Days."

Shortly afterward, the movie American Graffiti and the Broadway musical Grease, led to a wave of nostalgia for the Fifties, and ABC executives decided to buy Marshall's new series, which became a huge hit.

Do you like to watch or participate in any sports?

I have never really cared for watching spectator sports and I am too klutzy to participate in team sports.

I used to like to watch figure skating, but that was because my office mate in graduate school liked it so much.

My husband's mom loves watching baseball and his dad loves watching football.  My husband's dad would ask my husband questions about the latest game as if he expected my husband to have watched it on television and when my husband would tell him that he had not watched it and did not care to watch football games, he would act like my husband was a freak because everyone on Earth watches football.  When my husband started asking him questions about the latest chess tournament and acting like everyone on Earth watches the chess tournaments, he finally sort of got the point.

 :D That is pretty funny the way your husband dealt with that.
I have done ten-pin bowling and a long time ago martial arts (that was good for getting used to being near people), that's about all. I failed sports in school. I was always last to get picked for teams and if a ball was being thrown around or being hit by a bat, somehow it would gravitate towards my head. Did you experience that sort of thing?

Yes, I was always the last or second-to-last to get picked for teams.

I couldn't run, couldn't throw, couldn't hit, couldn't catch, etc.

I did take karate and I did reasonably well at that, though.

callaway, can you tell me about mary mallon, and why at one time she was the most feared woman in america?

Interestingly enough, I saw a television show about her yesterday.

She was a carrier of typhoid fever, even though she was never sick.

She was a cook, so she unwittingly transmitted typhoid fever to quite a few people before she was quarantined.

At that time, there were no antibiotics.  On the island where she was quarantined, the doctors wanted to remove her gallbladder, which can be a focus of typhoid fever bacteria, but she refused the surgery.  She never believed that she could be making people sick when she had never been sick herself.

When Mary Mallon was eventually released from quarantine, she was set up with a job as a laundress, which would not have caused people to be infected by her, but it was very difficult work at the lowest eschelon of domestic laborers.  A cook was much easier work and much higher status.  Since she did not believe that she made people sick, she sought a job as a cook in a hospital, and infected many more people before she was quarantined again, this time for the rest of her life.

Mary Mallon was also known as Typhoid Mary.

what an idiot. had she never heard of carriers? i guess not. but still, i mean it's a little odd to have people fall ill all around you. she could have still considered it and played it safe.

I'm definitely not acting or experimenting. 

I don't think that anyone is 100% nice all the time, and I certainly don't claim to be. 

I'm a mostly kind person, but I have my limits just like everybody else does. 

If someone tried to harm my daughter, I would do everything in my power to stop them, even if I had to kill them.

There are certain things I don't like and I'm not particularly nice to people who do those things.

For example, I strongly dislike people stalking other people and refusing to stop.  Because of this, I'm sure Hiro does not think of me as a nice person.

If Ascan has particularly negative views of me, then I must be doing something right, because he is truly loathsome.

Ascan tried to make me and others out to be liars when we told RobertN that he was screwing Omega. 

When he saw the Happy Birthday, RobertN (http://www.intensitysquared.com/index.php?topic=1956.0) thread I started, he must have been quite upset with me, because the evidence showed that he and Omega had been lying.

You know what, for all the hype around his shows, he was a really nice guy.  I used to live on the Sunshine Coast and he was always well respected.  That TV show was no show, he was just an enthusiastic lovely person.  I cried when he died, not because of all the hype, but because the world lost a really wonderful person.

So Lit just lost it, where as Omega just delibrately decided to be a total cunt...

My last boyfriend had a problem with me watching cartoons like Spongebob and little kids shows like Arthur, Clifford the Big Red Dog and he got on my back about adult aspies do not watch kids shows but they watch shows and cartoons for teens and grownups and he thought the reason why I watched little kid shows was because that was where my developmental level was at  :laugh: and he thinks all PDD-NOS's are below their age level so they watch that stuff. He says only grownups would watch kid shows with their kids, not by themselves.

I can't help you there, because I may be below my "age level" as defined by your ex.   ::)

Harry Potter books are supposed to be for kids, but I love them.  I love all the Harry Potter movies too. 

I watch some of the kid shows even if my daughter is not in the room.  Some of them are very educational. 

I think it is more important to just be yourself and not let someone with whom you are having a relationship make you over into someone else.

And my ex liked Harry Potter too but it's for everyone because I've seen grown ups read the books. He got on my back about me reading The baby-Sitters Club and thought I was below the level. I told him i read them because I enjoy the stories and I have read adult books too like Jurassic Park, The Lost World, books on aspergers autism, books on murder and crime but he wouldn't listen or didn't want to even accept it because he asked me "But did you comprehend what you've read" and I said "yeah, they were pretty concrete" but the funny thing is he can't comprehend what he reads either  :laugh: because he can't create a picture in his head and he says the fictional stories are abstract because he can't create a picture and I told him I create pictures in my head I've already seen and the characters in the book are people I have seen on TV or in movies or I seen in real life. Who is below now? Boy I wish I could tell that to his face. Why didn't I think of it before when we were together. Also he has some dyslexia so reading is harder for him too and his spelling is bad I have pointed out spelling errors to him so he can fix it. I should have given him a taste of his own medicine by telling him he is below too. I did give him a taste of his own medicine about other stuff but guess what he called it. He said I was playing a game. I guess he didn’t like me proving him wrong so he called it a game. I think he called everything a game whenever something happened he didn’t like just like my first boyfriend called everything retarded every time he didn’t like something such as “it’s retarded you have to pay to live” “it’s retarded you have to work to live” “it’s retarded you have to pay to eat.”

I make pictures in my mind too and it took me quite a while to realize that not everyone could.  My husband is dyslexic and he can't spell well and I decided to try to teach him because I am a really good speller.  I showed him a word spelled correctly and said, just picture it in your mind this way.  I found out that he can't.  He can sort of picture other things though.  For example, he can read Kanji pretty well, so he must be picturing it.

I think my mental processes are far more auditory than visual, but am not totally sure.  I usually get screwed up by complicated action scenes in books if too many people are involved/it goes on too long, and descriptions of landscapes don't do a lot for me.  On the other hand, I adore dialogue; reading/writing it.  Tradeoff?  I do indeed dream, with visuals.

Reminds me of a scene in Benny & Joon where Joon is teaching Sam how to spell words through finger painting them. Sam is dyslexic too according to the movie director. I told my boyfriend the trick is to use Microsoft Word and it will point out his spelling errors. I use that program when I do long posts so I won't have to proof read and I type fast. I help him with spelling when he makes posts. He just asks me how to spell some words he doesn't know how to spell.

I can see words in my head too but I also see images. When I read I get images but if I can't see the image or can't make one, I have no clue what is going on in the scene. I avoid books that are too abstract. If I am reading a story and I have no clue what it going on in it, I stop reading it. I do the same with books. But if it's for a school assignment, I have no choice. I just read and get it over with. The books I had to read in English when I was 18 were abstract and everyone in class had troubles reading them because they didn't get what was going on in the book so every class, the teacher would sit at the front of the class and tell us what is going on in the book so far. My aid had to buy Sparky Notes on the book I was reading that tells what is going on in the book and helps you understand the story better. I felt better about myself because it meant I wasn't stupid for not being able to comprehend what i was reading and hey lot of people have troubles with it or there would be no Sparky Notes. My last boyfriend said they were all idiots and he kept saying the kids in my school were special ed too and I told him "No they were normal kids," and he said "No they weren't and I said "No normal kids, not in special ed." and then he say they were just idiots and he was surprised when he found out 1/3 of my school was in special ed and he thought was it some special school I went too and I said "No it was a normal school, lot of people have disabilities. That's why there is no such thing as normal or there be very few normal people in the world." Then he thought the school was just lazy and they mainstream anyone, even the normal kids who are idiots and lazy and they dummy up the work like they did for me he says.

Lot of kids in my school had dyslexia but lot of them didn't mainstream special ed. Then my last BF thought oh that explains why they couldn't comprehend what they were reading. I told him my aid had troubles understanding the books too I was reading so she had to buy sparky notes to help her out so she can help me.

I would guess that it happens, perhaps with some accident or illness that affects certain parts of the brain, but it is more rare than someone who was somewhat dyslexic from childhood onward and who recognized the symptoms only as an adult.

I read his name correctly, but misunderstood the moniker to mean that he was the one being peed on, instead of making all the piss, himself.
:laugh:

I believe exhaustion, fatigue and stress all bring dyslexic tendencies to the forefront. I don't "test positive" for dyslexia (I was tested at forty eight years old), but when I'm tired or overstressed, I begin to talk backwards, just like my daughter used to (reversed or reciprocal meanings to word usage). My daughter has been diagnosed with dyslexia, as has my wife, and I know their own particular symptoms become more severe for both of them during times of stress. I wonder if this is commonly or widely experienced, by others.

For a long time, I did not know that there were almost as many different flavors of dyslexia as there are autism.

I tested negative for dyslexia, at the age of 38.  And yet I showed all of the classic symptoms during chilhood, to a very marked degree, and I stlil can't follow dancesteps, tie knots, etceteras.  And I still read and write a lot more slowly and carefully. than most Also, I sometimes read and (more often ) spell dyslexically, mostly depending on how tired I am.  I don't believe that dyslexia "just goes away". I think I've developed coping mechanisms down the years, that's all.

Luckily, I  did show signs of dysgraphia and poor visual memory, which was enough to get me the free pc I needed for my BSc course ;D

I *hear* words in my head as I read or write them - which sometimes leads to me writing,  say, "right" istead of "write" , or "you're"  insted of "your" , if I'm not firing on all cylinders.  I 'm not conscious of visualising them, but I suppose I must, to a degree, or else I wouldn't remember how to spell them, would I? (but, like i said, my visual memory is crap, so it mystifies me that I manage to do that at all).

Just to complicate matters, I have  Auditory Processing Disorder, so if somebody says an unfamilar  word (or a familiar word, but with insufficient contextual information to distuinguish it from similar-sounding words) I've no idea how to hear it in my head, or repeat it back, or spell it phonetically, until I actually see it written down.

So, I have a better memory for aural input, but a much better comprehension of written input. I need both. (So, when I read a text, i'm always reading it aloud to myself in my head, and it amazed me to find that some people don't)

We see the sky as blue because of our atmosphere. The gas molecules are smaller than the wavelength of visible light.  When light hits a gas molecule, some of it may get absorbed.  Then the molecule radiates the light in a different direction. The color that is radiated is the same color that was absorbed. The different colors of light are affected differently. All of the colors can be absorbed. But the higher frequencies (blues) are absorbed more often than the lower frequencies (reds). This process is called Rayleigh scattering. The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air.  However, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky.  Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue.

The atmosphere is denser near the horizon, so as you look closer to the horizon, the sky appears much paler in color. To reach you, the scattered blue light must pass through more air. Some of it gets scattered away again in other directions. Less blue light reaches your eyes. The color of the sky near the horizon appears paler or white.  

When you are at higher altitude, such as the top of a mountain or in an airplane, the atmosphere is thinner, so the sky appears to be a darker blue.

There is no atmosphere at all in space to scatter light, so the sky looks black from space.

I certainly hear words in my mind and often use the wrong homonym.
I have at least three different levels of "looking at things." I can look for specific details, like phone numbers, sometimes and it becomes permanent as stone in my mind or I can look in a way that allows me to delete or not respond to an annoyance. Coping with an annoyance "looking" never seems to enter my memory. I can also do a near perfect deep registering scan of things I need to remember and I even refer back to them in the future and "re-read" details from picture memory that I may have forgotten.

I know I am re-scanning my pictures  for details I need, but others seem to not understand this, except that it works for me.

I also have some kinda cute sensory crossovers, involving aural and visual mixing. I perceive and store memories of sound pictures  from where I've been and I find it hard to explain this to people. I do know that this ability has aided me in my pursuits of acoustical engineering phenomena.

It seems to take some effort to see clearly, without aural mixing of stimuli, once I become fatigued. It sounds psychedelic, but it's just me and my shit.

Interesting.

I can easily understand that concept of scanning your pictures for details you need. I'm sure I do the same, if I'm trying to recover some visual information...just not very effectively. My mental pictures turn out to contain far too many ambiguitiies and blank areas. And they're pretty disorganised. So when I say "let me think" I'm metally leafing though a scrapbook, desperately hoping  that the requisite "picture" is stored in there somewhere.At least I know my limitations, though.  You know the phenomenomenom of "reconstructive memory"? where people fill in the blanks and ambiguities retrospectively, in the light of new information. (That's why you shouldn't ask witnesses "leading questions").  I think I'm much less prone to doing that than most people are.

But why the heck do we tend to think of memory as either visual or auditory in nature? My memories actually consist of a jumble of all kinds of sensory impressions, along with associated flashbacks to  my internal thoughts and feelings of the time. The latter create the strongests, clearest, most reliable  impressions, and I'm not sure that's so unusual, it's  just harder to describe, and not the kind of information that's normally required.

It would be great to have an eidetic memory like yours.  I used to have a similar thing for the spoken word. I seemed to automatically tape-record anything said in my hearing, even when my attention was elsewhere. It came in handy when people asked , suspiciously "What did I just say?" . All I had to do was re-wind the tape a little way, then repeat the spiel word-for-word   :laugh:.  My ex-husband says he knew damned well that  I wasn't listening to him, much of the time, but he never could prove it!

Anyway, internal my tape-recorder broke down , years ago,  and now I have to rely on the normal sort of vague memory *sigh*.  Unless I make a special effort to memorise something word-for-word,  I usually recall the meaning that I think the speaker intended to convey, rather than their exact words , as heard(sometyhing I've often noticed other people doing). That's slightly worrying. So now, I try to keep a sharp look-out for unitentional double-entendres and such, in case i memorise my own misconceptions by mistake.

Is water blue?  Is air blue?  Is that why the sky is blue?  How come when you're in an airplane and you look out the window up as high as you can, the sky is far darker than it is on the ground?


We see the sky as blue because of our atmosphere. The gas molecules are smaller than the wavelength of visible light.  When light hits a gas molecule, some of it may get absorbed.  Then the molecule radiates the light in a different direction. The color that is radiated is the same color that was absorbed. The different colors of light are affected differently. All of the colors can be absorbed. But the higher frequencies (blues) are absorbed more often than the lower frequencies (reds). This process is called Rayleigh scattering. The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air.  However, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky.  Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue.

The atmosphere is denser near the horizon, so as you look closer to the horizon, the sky appears much paler in color. To reach you, the scattered blue light must pass through more air. Some of it gets scattered away again in other directions. Less blue light reaches your eyes. The color of the sky near the horizon appears paler or white.  

When you are at higher altitude, such as the top of a mountain or in an airplane, the atmosphere is thinner, so the sky appears to be a darker blue.

There is no atmosphere at all in space to scatter light, so the sky looks black from space.

How come bread goes bad so much faster when you put it on top of the 'fridge?  I put some hamburger buns up there a while back and now went to use them, and the bottom is all mushy, and the tops are desiccated.

Again theory -- thermal variants between the inside and outside of the bag causing condensation in the bag that then runs down to the bottom of the bag to be absorbed by the bottom of the bread.

I think Mordok is correct. 

The bottom of the bread is mushy because the temperature varies on the top of the refrigerator and that causes condensation in the plastic bread bag, which soaks the bottom of the bread and dries out the top.

If the refrigerator has coils to disperse the heat on the back, then the heat would come over the top of the refrigerator and the heat would increase the growth of mold.

My refrigerator has coils on the bottom, so I do keep things on top of it, but not bread.

We saw a beautiful old building in Vicenza on television just a few days ago.  Then when they drove past it, he pointed it out to his host and he stopped and took him on a tour of it.

I think it is hard on children to do a lot of traveling because they need security and routine when growing up. I went on a few camps with school and did not enjoy myself. I started traveling when I was in my early twenties because I felt ready then. Maybe it will be the same for your daughter, when she feels ready, she will get the traveling bug.  :)

Is there a web site that tells what consentual sex acts were/are illegal, where, and when?  Now I'm morbidly curious.

Here is an old website about US sodomy laws by state, compiled on January 28, 1998, which is before Georgia repealed its sodomy laws:

http://www.sodomy.org/laws/

Here is the more current sosomy law for Massachusetts, in case you are interested:

MASSACHUSETTS
F 272-34, Crime Against Nature, 20 years. F 272-35, Unnatural and Lascivious Acts, 5 years/$100-$1000. Crime Against Nature applies only to anal intercourse. Unnatural and Lascivious Acts has been held not apply to private consensual adult behavior. Commonwealth v. Balthazar, Supreme Judicial Court 1974. It has been suggested that such a ruling would apply to Crime Against Nature.

Here is where you can find some more up-to-date articles:

Why Sodomy Laws Matter (6/26/2003)

http://www.aclu.org/lgbt/crimjustice/11896res20030626.html

A short excerpt:

Quote
How the Laws Were Used Traditionally

Today's decision in Lawrence v. Texas arises in one of a mere handful of cases since the American revolution involving two adults - straight or gay - actually prosecuted for being intimate in private. For most of the 19th and 20th centuries, sodomy laws were used as secondary charges in cases of sexual assault, sex with children, public sex and sex with animals. Most of those cases involved heterosexual sex.

Originally, sodomy laws were part of a larger body of law - derived from church law - designed to prevent nonprocreative sexuality anywhere, and any sexuality outside of marriage.

My favorite color is blue.

Many things have happened that are really funny when I look back on them, but they did not seem so funny at the time they were happening.

The funniest one of that type that I can think of right now, is the lady who came up to our table in Wendy's to criticize my parenting abilities and she actually sat down with us.  She objected to me holding my daughter's wrists, which I was doing only because she had just hit someone, and I tried explaining this to the lady.  She kept on and on, so I eventually let go of my daughter's wrists and my daughter immediately chucked her chocolate Frosty at the lady's face.  The way the lady looked with Frosty dripping from her hair, down her face, onto her shirt was pretty comical, looking back on it even though I was mortified at the time.

She was actually pretty nice about it, all things considered.  My husband took our daughter to the car and I tried to help the lady with the chocolate Frosty face by giving her all the napkins from the table and I kept talking to her for another two or three minutes.  It turned out that she had two younger autistic brothers and she had been upset by her parents' discipline of them, which she considered too harsh.  She kept saying something about an action causing an equal but opposite reaction.  I explained that we used lots of positive discipline methods too, but I needed to hold our daughter's hands when she was out of control because otherwise she could do something that could get her into really bad trouble, like this.

Have you ever had strangers come up to you and critique your parenting techniques before?

That is an awesome story.

I had a guy call my kids brats once, but they kind of deserved it.
I never use cream in coffee, but my wife does. We, the four of us, were sitting in a Cracker Barrel restaurant, fairly late one night, and my son got the idea that he could partially open one of those little half ounce cream containers and it would make a good squirter. He was right. They both squirted each other and I stopped it as fast as I could, but this guy in the next booth made some snide comments to his party. I ignored it and thought it was over, but my son who was six at the time, loaded up and blasted the fucker, "I'm not a brat!" he said as he turned and sprayed this guy from eyeglasses to fancy shoes, all down his very fancy three-piece suit.

He stood up, so I stood up and said that it was an accident. He said, "What kind of accident do you call that?" and I said, "An unfortunate one." (The best I had at the moment) I had a biscuit in one hand and a butter knife in the other and he was acting like he wanted to back down, but glance/checked with his buddies and they were all snickering at the situation.

About that time my wife, who was stunned and speechless, let out a miserable, "NO!," but it was too late. My daughter, four at the time, nailed this guy in the chest and across his vest and crotch once again and said, "I'm no brat either!!"  He was really pissed, but I told him he could have my biscuit if he would let it go, trying to make light of it and his friends all busted out laughing.

He said I needed to control my kids and I said he needed to control his friends as they were making a disturbance. He finally smiled at my son, who was glaring at him, and shrugged. He said that he never had this trouble with his grandkids and I told him they were MY kids and that I was very sorry.

They were done, anyway, and we had just arrived, so they all left, with a little prompting and apologies from the manager, who had rushed over to find out why two of his patrons were facing off. I really didn't know what else to do or say to the guy, but that I was sorry.

Chldren were "grounded" and we did not go out again for a long time. Later that summer, after we had had a number of conversations about proper behavior in a public restaurant, I re-directed his instinctive understanding of fluid dynamics and made little water blasters out of those long, skinny, plastic frozen fruit pop containers. They were fine as long as they understood that they could use them in the pool or the back yard, but not inside the house and never pointed at anyone who was not ready to go for a swim!

Of course!
I, too, am a creature of habit. I have been using Firefox for about eight months, but I still have not made it my default browser. I'm afraid that Windows will punish me. (I have heard stories) I still have the habit of closing any auto-open IE window and re-opening the address in a Firefox tab.

I know what you mean, but once I became familiar with how Firefox behaved, IE seemed incredibly clunky and slow.

IE7Pro (http://www.download.com/IE7Pro/3000-12867_4-10649334.html?tag=dl-blog) can block images, from what i gather, plus it seems to offer a number of other nice features. haven't tried it myself, though.

I prefer Firefox to anything else, its been my default browser since it was in beta. I installed Opera to try. It doesn't get used, except when a site requires my browser to pretend to be IE. Its not that its shite - it just isn't Firefox, I miss the extensions.

I know you are using another OS, now, but have you used it as the default on an "up-to-date" WinXP installation without problems?
Title: Re: Questions for Callaway
Post by: duncvis on October 06, 2007, 06:42:18 PM
Yep. I dual boot so the kids can play Windoze games, and have no bother with Firefox on XP SP2 either.

Glad to hear it from someone smart. I have heard some shit  on other fora about going "default" with Firefox.

I'm going to change it tomorrow!

I feel like firefox has some real problems.
Seems way too sluggish, at times. Probably
just a matter of too big a footprint, but then
IE should be worse.

I have had this problem with IE on Intensity. It has become so slow that I use Firefox for here but IE everywhere else.

IE makes certain things look better on here, though. Glowing letters, for example. On Firefox they look horrible. Very amateurish.

To be honest I'd like to block scarap's avatar too (simply because sometimes the kids sneak up behind me when I post, not because I think its sexist or any such shit)- I managed to block it on Dunc's PC, but when I try to block it on my own it blocks all images from Intensity.

I thought that you were asking me in your PMs to change your name back to Mrs Mark, Calandale.

I asked you the questions that I did because I saw it when Hadron gave you administrative access here as Mrs Mark. 

At the exact same time, he changed my screen name to Mrs Mark, so it made me wonder what you and he are doing.

I thought that he had changed my profile to Mrs Mark so that if anyone saw Mrs Mark in red on Who is Online, they would assume that it was me.

Soon after I logged in, your profile was changed back to World Council member, but not before I copied it.

I have a huge objection to you being made an admin by Hadron when you were not elected, Calandale.

I have a huge objection to Hadron giving Scrapheap the ability to remove threads and Scrapheap removing this thread in an attempt to cover up what Hadron and you did.


I was also de-adminned earlier today and surprisingly enough, Hadron was the first one to notice.


So, yes, I have a huge objection to what you, Hadron and Scrapheap did.

I accidently added him to the admin group while changing his karma back, I think (my computer was screwing up still, i hadnt fixed it properly yet).

 ;D

I don't think he has ever made them that way.  I did once, when I was in school.

My husband makes grilled cheese sandwiches in a skillet on top of the stove.  

He butters the bread on the outside and then adds cheese and more buttered bread.  He almost never burns them, unlike me.

He makes a similar sandwich with just jelly in the middle, but I have never tried one of those.  He calls it a "jelly toastwich".

The BEST way to make grilled cheese is to put butter on
BOTH sides, and fry the bread a bit, before adding the
cheese. I'm too lazy though, and usually make it as he does.

You need a lesson in being a trouble maker >:D

Start working out, then married women come up to your mom and tell her you a cute guy.  I don't know why all the other guys don't work out for their women, they just think about sex, and less about them.  The easiest path is not always the best one, if you think about them, you get to the sex faster.

Do you swear in real life?

I know swear words, of course, but I rarely ever say them.

One reason is that I was not brought up to talk like that, but there is another, more important reason to me:

I don't want my daughter to learn swear words so I don't want to say them in front of her and I ask other people who spend a lot of time around her not to swear in front of her either, because if she did learn a swear word, she would say it 1,000 times since she has echolalia.

plus one, forgot.  It seems like you took my advice on a literal level on purpose, I do that.  Its a good way to make an assfairy out of people.  Then they go around saying you did an AS thing, when they themselves did an AS thing.  The bigger picture is frequently neglected, that of peace and compromise, it not about who is better.  I would rather have things equal, to give myself more of a challenge.  People loose their ability to adapt in a sensory isolation chamber after awhile, especially autistic patients.  It makes them hunger for socialization, but also decreases their ability to adapt to life.  Its fuckn terrible.

Nah, it's not the privacy settings- I asked.  Also not a virus.  He purged the cookies too; basically everything "obvious" has been done.  Weird thing is that like half the time those sites will work, then they'll stop for a bit, then they will again- and he won't have changed anything or anything.  Oh, and I think Amazon was doing it too.

New toally random, inanane question:  I want to get a humidifier for my apartment because the dry air is messing up my skin (and my contact lenses).  I have looked at what is available, and am wondering which would be better in your opinion:  A warm mist humidifier, or a cool mist one?  or are they basically comparable?

Cool mist humidifiers are less expensive to buy and run, but they usually have a wicking filter that needs to be replaced often, depending on the hardness of your water and other factors.  If you don't keep the filter changed and the humidifier clean, they often spew out molds and bacteria in addition to the moist air.

Warm mist humidifiers are a bit more expensive to buy and operate, because they have a heating element, but warm air can be more comforting in the winter than cold, clammy air.  You have to keep them clean as well.

I think that I would want to buy a humidifier that is easy to clean and runs reasonably quietly.

I found a humidifier review website for you, but maybe you could look in Consumer Reports too:

The concept of pH was first introduced by Danish chemist S. P. L. Sørensen at the Carlsberg Laboratory[3] in 1909. The name, pH, has claimed to have come from any of several sources including: pondus hydrogenii, potentia hydrogenii (Latin),[4] potentiel hydrogène (French), and potential of hydrogen (English).

Actually, I think that you are right, Renaeden.

Looking further down the Wikipedia page, I see that pH can stand for power of Hydrogen as well:

Quote from: http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH
In fact, pH is a measure of the concentration of protons (H+) in a solution. S.P.L. Sørensen introduced this concept in 1909. The p stands for the German potenz, meaning power or concentration, and the H for the hydrogen ion (H+).

The formula for calculating pH is:

pH = -log10 [H+]
 
[H+] indicates the concentration of H+ ions (also written [H3O+], concentration of the equivalent hydronium ions), measured in moles per litre (also known as molarity).

Title: Re: Questions for Callaway

Yes, she would really like to have a cat, but she can't.  Because of some dogs who nearly pulled their owner down to get at her when she asked to pet them and the owner lost control of them as well as our former neighbors dogs barking and snarling at her and breaking our fence, she is afraid of dogs.  She is allergic to dogs anyway.  So's my husband, so both of them would be miserable in the long run.

She isn't interested in reptiles or amphibians.

We had a rabbit before she was born, so we might get another one.

Our rabbit was pretty much cage trained too.  When my husband and I went on a trip for our first anniversary, we left him with my husband's parents so they could take care of him.  When we got back, he climbed into his cage and turned his back on us, even though he had been out playing most of the time we had been gone.  I guess he missed us.

Can you explain to me why this is funny?


Sorry, no.

It must have something to do with the guy's jersey number being 69 and Ron Cherry penalizing him for "giving him the business," however.
It's been bugging me, because it's on a lot of sites that post funny videos.  The announcers obviously thought it was hilarious.  I just don't get it.  Maybe it's because I don't watch football.

Laundry question.  Amy always forgets when she's doing laundry, and she left a load in the washer for a couple days... they really smell bad.  I dried them, and washed them again, and now dried them for the second time, and they still kind of smell.   If they were whites I'd just wash them again in some bleach, but they're colors....  what can I do to get the smell out?

I believe the smell is caused by microorganisms that have grown on the wet clothes.  If they are not bleachable, you could try using all fabric bleach or Oxyclean or you could use a small amount of Lysol disinfectant, being careful not to spill it directly on the clothes.  It would be nice if you could also hang the clothes in the sun and fresh air to dry.

The average high temperature for July, our average warmest month, is 89 °F (31.7 C) and the average low is 55 °F (12.8 C).

The record low temperature was -15.0 °F (-26.1 C).

The midwest US has some of the most varied

worlds, from what most people see. The East coast
tends to have slightly milder winters (but not much),
the summers can be hell though. The West coast is

summers get (and the winters - stays warm).

Wow, that's 116 °F.

My husband used to live somewhere that got that hot or even a little hotter, but it never snowed in the winter.  You could swim in an outdoor swimming pool in the middle of the winter on Christmas Day.  You could not bear to swim outside in the middle of the summer, since the water got so hot then.  There were lots of retired people who went there in the winter to live in their enormous RVs, but moved back to where they came from in the summers.  People called them "snowbirds" and the grocery stores were very crowded in the winters, especially the prune juice aisles, he told me.

Callaway, I would I would like to tell you, but I think it would be best to pm you about with this particular buisness with Jessica.
A gay was after me today, I got the social cues, but then I got more and came to final decision he was bisexual.  Mom told me not to be alone with him, but I knew already.  He was saying if a guy paid me $100 to suck my dick, and saying how his "friends"  where on his email.  He was telling me how big his you know what was, my tollerance is high, but I really think it didn't need to be, I was not trying to help anyone.  He was hoping I was closet gay.  I didn't mind he was, after all it was my favorite subject we talking about, sex.  I made sure I turn it towards women as much as I could. I tried to get away from him, saying I had a doctor's appointement to, and he wanted to walk with me.  I said it was far away, and its very cold weather we are having. He left me alone for now I guess.  I like complements and shit, but that is far is it  goes, I am not gay or bi.  His other friend does nude photography for porno.  My mom tells me secret details about her sex life, so did my grandmother, who is not bipolar.

Pretty well.

If you like ginger so much, maybe you should get some fresh ginger root from the produce aisle of the grocery store, rather than the dry powdered ginger from the spice aisle.  There are lots of things you can do with fresh ginger root.  If you have an Oriental grocery store, you might find fresh ginger root there too, if you can't find it in the ordinary grocery store.

So I bet a bunch of women on here may smite me,  here is what I did to the bisexual guy.

I knew the libary would block my seminude pics, so I directed him to this site. He said something about me meeting him at the libary at 12:30pm, I was like ,"What the fuck, this guy is trying to date me!"  Yuck!  That perve came here at 9:30am instead, and didn't show at the libary till 1:30pm.  I managed to do something mean while staying away from him for an hour.  I was just getting warmed up, I know how to be mean, in a nonsexual way.

How do you know whether or not he has showed up here, Hadron?  He could have shown up and read a lot of information about Randy from the public boards as a guest.  What would you expect us to do when he shows up?  As others have already said, INTENSITY² is unmoderated, so it's not like we would IP ban the library because some guy wanked over Randy's semi-nude pictures after Randy invited him to come here. 

I'm more concerned about the guy reading the large amount of personal information that Randy has posted here.  If Randy wants, he can go back and edit some of that stuff out of his posts, but that's his decision, not ours.

How would you interpet this woman's behavior?

That woman who I helped, her behavior, could be interpeted as sexual.

She made me tea, and has been given me intense attention.  I was so embarassed, it was ginger tea.  I was eating ham/meat and go hard.  I should have my zinc level tested :laugh:

She wants to run a resturante with me with some wheat free foods.

She is kind of old for me, but sometimes they don't listen to me anyway. :laugh:

She knows what I am into, and she is into it a little herself.

She says am perfect, but what do I do when she doesn't see me?  A person who you want can do no wrong elsewhere, but I am not anyway.

She is way too old for me, I am what 16, in apperance, and .. impulsive urges won't be herd.   :laugh:  It would be definitely be funnier to screw someone my own age.  Had to ask Jessica if she knew anyone like that :wanker: :-*  I wonder if that would have confused her.

I am also happy with the way I look in the mirror, I rarely get zits.  Anything less is emotionally unacceptable.   I won't try and manipulate the data on you either, my mom warns people of my trickery. 

Forgot something, indeed, her knowledge is not as extensive as mine.  I should have mentioned that she was paying so much attention to me after I told her my sad story.  It was 3 times in a row after that, and I am not neive, I know what I look like.  Its easier to give some attention when they are cute.

True or false:  You are more likely to unbalance a front-load washer by UNDERloading it than by OVERloading it.

I genuinely don't know, but I'd noticed that smaller loads seemed more likely to unbalance, and I just googled it (in an act of agonized frustration) and it seems to actually be the case, counter-intuitive as that sounds.

I think that it's true.  To make it more intuitive, imagine if you put just one pillow in the washing machine and nothing else.

The waterlogged pillow is very heavy and all on one side, and there is nothing to counterbalance the load on the other side.

Does eczema get worse with stress?
Title: Re: Questions for Callaway
Post by: Callaway on January 21, 2008, 03:10:02 PM
Does eczema get worse with stress?

My personal experience with it says that it does.  It also seems to get worse in the winter than in the summer, with exposure to allergens, and with some clothing. 

Here, I found some more official information from an eczema medication website:

Eczema outbreaks, or "flare-ups" are caused by an overreaction of your skin's immune system to environmental and emotional "triggers". These can range from irritants such as chemicals; to allergens, such as dust or mold; to stress.

For those with eczema, it is very helpful to identify and avoid exposure to such triggers. However, because there are so many potential triggers, this can be challenging.

The following sections explain different triggers that may lead to eczema outbreaks:


Temperature/Humidity
Extremes in temperature and humidity can worsen or trigger an eczema flare. While it may be tricky, maintaining a moderate and stable temperature and humidity all year is helpful.

When it's warm and humid in summer, make sure the temperature inside remains cool with an air conditioner. Also keep in mind that air-conditioned air may also be drying to your skin, so be sure to use a moisturizer.

In the winter, the air tends to be drier (cold air holds less moisture, and heating systems generally introduce very dry, hot air into homes), which makes it easier to develop dry skin. Since dry skin is more prone to itching, using a humidifier during the winter months can keep the humidity at an optimal level.


Irritants
Irritants can be both physical and chemical. Avoid products containing potentially irritating chemicals. Usually, these are easy to identify—things like pesticides, paint strippers, etc.—but others may not be as obvious. Ingredients such as alcohol, astringents, and fragrances may trigger or worsen eczema. These ingredients can be found in cosmetics, emollients, cleaners, air fresheners, toilet paper, etc. Reading ingredient lists on products is a smart way to avoid contact with irritants.


Clothing
Something as simple as the clothes you wear can have a great impact on eczema management—from the types of fabrics to how you care for them.

It's best to avoid materials that feel "itchy," things like wool, burlap, etc. Try to wear soft fabrics like cotton, which tend to be less irritating. It's also a good idea to wash all new clothes, linens, and towels before using them for the first time.

Many detergents and fabric softeners may contain chemicals such as fragrances that can irritate our skin. Always read the list of ingredients to avoid contact with irritants. Generally, it is good to choose a mild liquid detergent and put your clothes through an extra rinse cycle when they are brand new.


Allergens
If you experience allergic reactions such as asthma, breathing difficulty, hives, etc., you may already avoid some allergens. It is also important to identify the allergens that specifically trigger your eczema flare-ups.

Although people with eczema are more likely to develop allergies to food (milk, eggs, wheat and peanuts) and airborne allergens (dust mites, molds and pet hairs), it is important to note that allergies can occur independently from eczema. Pay attention to any allergy that may worsen or trigger your eczema, and let your doctor know.

It may be a good idea to enlist the help of a specialist to determine what you are allergic to and what you should avoid.


Stress
Sometimes, it's hard to stay relaxed, especially when your eczema flares-up. Yet research is now showing that keeping a calm head and good mental outlook may be one of the best ways to help keep eczema in check.

Emotional stress is a well-known trigger of eczema flare-ups. Patients can have difficulties with anxiety, anger and hostility caused by having eczema. This only adds to the problem. Learning to reduce stress may lessen the frequency and, hopefully, the intensity of the flare-ups.


Staying Relaxed
 Meditation, relaxation techniques and stress management can help. 
 You may also find that you feel more in control if you keep a diary or other record of flare-ups. 
 Support groups are another way to help you feel better. The National Eczema Association for Science and Education (NEASE) can provide information on groups near you. Visit the NEASE site to find out more.


Staying In Control
It can also be helpful and empowering to learn as much as you can about your condition and make sure that your partner, family, friends and even coworkers do, too. The more you know, the better you'll be able to fend off flare-ups. For instance, if you know what your triggers are, you can try to avoid them. If your job or home life brings you into contact with irritants or involves frequent hand washing, think about ways to modify your tasks.

Post by: DirtDawg on January 21, 2008, 06:53:34 PM
Great post.
Thank gawd that mine is minor and easily controlled without steroids.

Something to add though - I also "suffer" from xerophthalmia (I have a difficult time remembering that name, because it's fucking Greek, not Latin), which is severely dry eyes (a real medical condition, in some cases) and it is commonly linked to a deficiency in vitamin A. I have taken vitamin A supplements for years to combat this to the point that my doctor was concerned about vitamin A toxicity (I was on meds also and having blood tests every three months back then).

I am able to keep it under control fairly well with supplements, now that I have done some other dietary things to help assimilate vitamin A, fully. What I notice is that when I get a flare-up of xerophthalmia, I coincidentally get a flare-up of eczema. I boost the vitamin A intake for a couple of weeks, focus on foods high in vitamin A and it all goes away, again.

I am convinced that there is a connection.

How the hell can you tell when a kiwi is ripe? They are harvested very green for sale in the USA and the expectation is that they will be ready for marlet once they arrive, but often they are still very tart and "green."

You can gently squeeze it a little, like you would squeeze a peach, to tell if it is ripe.  If it gives just a little, then it should be ripe.  If it is too firm and green when you buy it, you can leave it out of the refrigerator for a few days to ripen.

Kiwis are yummy.

How do you sanitize your laundry baskets between uses?

I recently read of a local family who had contracted a terrible case of E. coli infection, due to using the same basket to carry dirty underwear and "clean" kitchen towels.

Not really something many people think of, but I often spray with Lysol. Is that enough?


I can only think that that family must have been much dirtier people than we are, but I can certainly see the risk.

I think that Lysol should be enough to sanitize the laundry baskets, but if you are concerned, you could make a bleach solution to spray them with instead.

For this sort of sanitizing, you would use a tablespoon of bleach to a quart of water in a spray bottle (or you could use a half-tablespoon to a pint of water).

How is the best way to rejuvenate your "gastro-flora" after a viral infection?

I've become ill this afternoon and if this is the typical thing that has infected me almost every winter for several years, I get over it quickly, but end up in a very weakened state as a result. I also can not digest anything I eat for several days.

Eating yogurt, avoiding alcohol and avoiding coffee all seem to help, but are there other foods or supplements which will shorten the healing process and get my system back to normal sooner?

Yogurt is good.  There are probiotic supplements that restore the bacterial flora of the intestines more quickly, however.

I use Nature's Way Primadophilus, which I buy from the refrigerated section of Vitamin Cottage.  It has an enteric coating that dissolves in the intestine, so the acids in the stomach don't kill many of the active bacteria, like they do for some other supplements.  I keep it in the refrigerator at home to preserve its potency.

My daughter uses Primadophilus Junior.  She takes one a day.

I would like to add, it must have symbol, indorsed by the national yogurt association, or you cannot be sure there is therapeutic dose of probiotics in it.  Most frozen yogurts don't have the 10x more they should, to make up for freezing.  You could also try 10billon cfu of acidophillus, the amount for a infection.  I took that much and I don't.  Soil also has homeostatic organsim that plants use to absorb nutrition, although it depends on pesticides.  A little dirt on your  vegetables is good for you, minus all the other shit that is not supposed to be in the soil.

Do you know what anaclitic depression is?  It is something to do with infants and mothers who are not around.  I am not saying anything bad about you, just wanted to teach you something.  It was hard to read about, I almost had tears hearing about it.

I did not know it by that name, but I know about the concept.

Thanks.

I don't think that my daughter was separated from me for long enough when she was a baby to cause her a problem like that, however.

There was about a week she spent in intensive care when nobody was allowed to pick her up because she was hooked up to ECMO, which is a sort of heart-lung machine, but I still touched her, stroking her head and her arms and legs, and I talked to her so she knew that I was there.  The rest of the time she spent in the hospital, I was with her almost the whole entire time, night and day.

Yes.
It's kept behind the counter where only the pharmacist can get to it. Fortunately, I did not waste time looking for it. I went directly to the pharmacist and asked her for something similar, doubting that I would find the exact item which I had already looked into on the net, and she had the same Nature's Way product (you mentioned) available, along with a competitor. She also recommended the NW product, because of its potency. It contains a greater amount of live culture, than the competing product.

Do you know what anaclitic depression is?  It is something to do with infants and mothers who are not around.  I am not saying anything bad about you, just wanted to teach you something.  It was hard to read about, I almost had tears hearing about it.

I did not know it by that name, but I know about the concept.

Thanks.

I don't think that my daughter was separated from me for long enough when she was a baby to cause her a problem like that, however.

There was about a week she spent in intensive care when nobody was allowed to pick her up because she was hooked up to ECMO, which is a sort of heart-lung machine, but I still touched her, stroking her head and her arms and legs, and I talked to her so she knew that I was there.  The rest of the time she spent in the hospital, I was with her almost the whole entire time, night and day.

I am not surprised.

Anaclitic depression occurs when the mommy is not around, the infant searches and searches, and after 3 or 4 weeks it withdrawls.  There is no intervention that can stop the crying infant during that time,  but some just get treary eyed.  Since the infant cannot discriminate between food and mom, it will reject food.  If the seperation occurs at 1 year old or later, it can be reversed provided the mother shows up in 3 months.  I think I got that right.  I just didn't like the parenting I got, so I decided to read just incase.

It was perfect, almost as if I copied it directly from the book.  I mean I used some of the same words as the book I memorized it from.  I reviewed something I knew already about the consolidation peroid that occurs for about 20 or 30 minutes, when memories are stored, just have to speed up neural firing during that time so you can remember it easier.  There are two ways I think of, right off the back, taking a stimulating mixture of herbs, and or imagine myself full on energy that makes me stronger.

I remember something else saddening, about harlow's  infant monkey experiments.  He tried to institue anaclitic depression in his monkeys, and it was the same.  It turns out, deprivation of any socializing that a monkey is used to at the time of seperation, also contributes to their depression.  He put surrogate raised female monkeys with experienced male monkeys to get the female pregnant, even though she has no intrest in sex.  Playing around as peers is necessary so they will mate as adults.  Some of these monkey mothers bit off their babies heads, feet, or fingers.  Others just ignored the babies, but eventually gave into frequent attempts from the infants to get what they wanted.  After the second round of babies, the monkey mothers actually did fairly adequate job.  It was again saddening for me to read, almost bringing tears.

Yes, I did.

That makes it more understandable that he could have overlooked disturbing things about Gellert Grindelwald's character, IMO.

Then there was the point that Dumbledore wrote Gellert notes and sent them by owl, even though they had just been together all day and were going to be together all day the next day too.  "This was your mistake at Durmstrang!  But I do not complain, because if you had not been expelled, we would never have met."

I think that the feelings must have been at least somewhat mutual, because Grindelwald died under torture from Voldemort without revealing that Dumbledore had taken the elder wand from him.

Moms  being consistant helps their infants build up expectancies about the world around them, which in turn helps them devolpe peer relationships.  This consistancy helps the infant grow attached to their moms, its no wonder I had so much bend up hate.  One thing you can count on with bipolar mom's is constant disorder behavior. :laugh:

What would be a good credit card to start building credit?  I don't know what a "low" rate is, but mostly what I care about is that it costs me as little as possble (and not just during the "intro period" and I can pay it off every month online with my atm debit card (I've been able to pay for stuff online before with the debit card, so prolly not much of an issue there).  I might try getting a card though my bank, but I'm not sure if their rates are good or not.  I don't give a crap about rewards or any of that junk.  I'll probably use it as little as I can and still have it build credit- I'm not going to go all crazy with it.

If you're paying it off every month it doesn't really matter what the rate is... because you won't be charged interest.  A good rate is anywhere from 11 to 14% after the special introductory rates... the most important thing is to pay that bill, every month, ON TIME.  I missed a payment or two, and they jacked up my rates, and it really affected my credit score.  It's taken a lot of time, but I've got it in the mid 700s now.  It's much easier to start off with good credit than to repair it, so make sure you always pay on time.

Oh, there's lots of cards out there that don't charge a monthly fee... make sure you get one of them.

If you intend to pay it off in full every month, the interest rate does not matter as much as the no annual fee.

I think that Wachovia (http://www.wachovia.com/) and Capital One (http://www.capitalone.com/) are pretty good for both.

I think that you can set it up so the payments are made automatically every month from your bank account, assuming that you have a checking account to go with your debit card.  I think that you can even set it up so the payments can be made with your debit card, but I don't have one, so I am not as certain about that.

Like Tesla said, making the payments on time every single month is very important in building your credit score.

I would give him the antibiotics, DirtDawg.  Strep throat can go away on its own without treatment, but he will be contagious for longer and there is a chance that the streptococcus can cause rheumatic fever if he does not take antibiotics.  My sister-in-law got rheumatic fever from untreated strep throat when she was a kid, and she still has problems from that.

Cell phone are too cumersome.

I try and look up smut and shit, but it says it can't find it.  It let me look it up last time, and  then when I try and send dirty pictures it says invalid adress a dozen times.  Finally it goes through, although my internet pix account needs to be fully unlocked.  It was locked due to underuse, for security reasons.  Maybe Jessica's inbox is too full from pms.  She stopped talking to me again, I wouldn't be surprised if I am sharing her with some aspie in these times ::), no offense to people here, as there is variance even with in the dx of aspergers syndrome.

Callaway do you know how I might get around the picture trouble?

I don't think so, Tesla.  I think that what we call "French Toast" the French call "Pain Perdu," or "Lost Bread," because it is made from day-old bread.  At least that is what they called it in New Orleans.

One might think that. But my female friends all tended to
have a number of close male friends.

My wife was indeed. An ex-housemate of
hers was living with me, and had offered
to take her in - which is how we met.

Oddly, I think that although she claimed
to not have many female friends, her closest
friend before me was. The same with my first

But, all had some fairly masculine traits. In terms
of dealing with people. Where I'm most comfortable

Damn, careful with bias, Callaway. I could take issue with any number of the things you're implying here.

That women who like Calandale are isolated (in a bad way).
That women only tolerate him because they can't get any better, not because they genuinely like some of his qualities.
That a woman who has few/no female friends is isolated, and doesn't simply prefer males.
That Calandale's wife (whom you don't know in the slightest) may fit any of the above categories.
That homelessness implies a personal deficiency.

I believe that narcissists in general tend to choose people who are more isolated, move in on them very quickly and isolate them even more, so a person who had few friends, male or female, would be more likely to be targeted by one.

One of my problems with Calandale is that he has been personally attacking me and other people.  Maybe you haven't noticed this.

Also, he acts like he wants to dictate to everyone else how Intensity is run.  He comes up with wacky ideas that he can't possibly have thought through and he tries to cram them down everyone else's throats. 

We had a World Council that made decisions for Intensity and he ruined it for almost everyone else by spamming it with polls to implement his ideas. He started more than twice as many polls as anyone else.  It got to the point that several World Council members thought that the number of polls was completely out of control and they were sick to death of it.  Because of the excessive number of polls, Intensity became more about how to run Intensity than anything else, so we voted to turn over the running of the site back to Dunc and Odeon.  More than any other person here, Calandale killed the World Council, yet he refuses to accept any responsibility for this and he prefers to blame everyone else.

Our definition of 'personal' differs. For you, it seems to mean

information to make attacks. I see a distinction, you do not.
I feel that 'tis fair to attack YOU (or anyone) for their actions

I see you personally attacking other people quite often, Calandale, but you seem to be unable to see that you are doing it.

You only seem to see it going one way.

You don't need a person's biography to personally attack them.

Generally, a personal attack is committed when a person substitutes abusive remarks for evidence when examining another person's claims or comments. It is considered a personal attack when a person starts referencing a supposed flaw or weakness in an individual's personality, beliefs, lifestyle, convictions or principles, and use it as a debate tactic or as a means of avoiding discussion of the relevance or truthfulness the person's statement.

I know you do. We have very different definitions.
Of course, to you, yous is the ONLY one. And,
you fail to see any distinction between the
morality of bringing extraneous information
into your squabbles. Stuff which you choose
to NOT be attacked about, by not sharing.

Quote
You only seem to see it going one way.

No. I know damned well that I began this fight.
Brought it to a different level. You took it beyond
where my morals allow me to go, except when I
lose my cool far too much, as I did when making
my comment that QM was homophobic - something
he admitted, but was of no importance to the issue,
and was purely a twisted result of my frustration at
his personal attacks on me. I seem to remember making
a similar assault upon TM1, when I was getting sick of
him following me about, posting about my personal life,
where it did not apply. Perhaps, had you revealed such
of your own, I'd have disgraced myself there too - hell,
I did with lucifer, but hope that I retracted it, before anyone
saw what an ass I was being.

See? Your meaning is the ONLY one? Ok, if your principles,
effect the manner in which you are making site dependent
decisions, or in the manner in which you are actually arguing
or posting, they ARE fair game, IMO.

What 'personal attacks' have I made, by your criteria? I've questioned
your fighting tactics - clearly a matter which is limited to the site itself.
I've not even speculated that you are like this, IRL. I've attacked your
desire to hold onto power, but again, that is a site-related issue, and I've
not made any attempt to draw parallels to things in your real life. I've
definitely noted what I see as a close minded adherence to whatever
you've decided - decisions which are often made very early in a
discussion. (I wonder if I've ever seen you change your mind?) And,
I've noted the point at which your treatment of me took an extreme
about face - not over the style of my attacks, but over a disagreement
in ethics, which few others cared about. I'll add another observation: unlike
me, you dropped mentioning that disagreement, when you saw it was
gaining you no support - you are the consummate politician; I am not.
I fight on, even when it is merely gaining me enemies. Now, most would
probably see your attitude there as laudable, but I don't - I prefer my own
(of course  ::) )

No. My method was first to attempt just hacking the
idea about. I soon learned that the apathy here required
that, in order to get a discussion on the issues, one had
to actually put up a timed poll, and force people to think
about it. I don't think that there was a damned suggestion
that I made, which I was unwilling to be convinced that my
initial take was wrong. But, it got frustrating to see ideas
brought up, discussed briefly, without any real passion, and
then ignored.

Yes. That's exactly what safeguards are. Kinda like the
bill of rights. Rules to prevent the WC from abusing others.

Quote
The polls that you call "mere ploys" looked like you were trying to manipulate other World Council members.

Manipulate is an interesting, and not entirely inaccurate term.
Let's take the most egregious case - the dreaded fiat poll.
I made that poll merely to lay the foundation for arguing that
you were using exactly the type of absolute power which
that poll would bring into being, for the staff. An argument
which wouldn't have gotten anywhere, given your popularity
here, but might have come in handy to harp a bit. Imagine
my shock when your coterie voted in favor of admins
having the absolute right to do whatever they pleased. And
don't plea some confusion, that poll is clear as day, to anyone
who wasn't befuddled by your argument for passing it.

Quote
Also, no matter how many times you have posted, "When it came down to it, some of those who cared enough for democracy to try and lay it down on firm ground were hounded away by the same tactics you see used against me," you have never once backed up with facts your assertion that anyone was ever "hounded away," how it was supposed to have been done, or whether you are being "hounded away" yourself.  On the contrary, you insist that if you post here less frequently in the future, it will be completely because of your new job, not because of any supposed "hounding."  Perhaps these shadowy people you have claimed were "hounded away" had life changes that were more important to them than spending so much time posting here.

By hounded, I mean the pack mentality. By away,
I mean told to GTFO. Both have applied to me.
Both applied to Lit. Both applied to Scrap. I don't
know how many others have been so driven away
by constant abuse, by your little gang. And, of course,
one wants to seem stronger, so putting a good face on.
But, such a gang, picking off those who 'don't belong'
is going to effect decisions to leave. Indeed, in Lit's case,
it may well have contributed heavily to his meltdown and
targeting of the site - maybe worse. In Scrap's, whom you
like to claim was busy with his 60 hour weeks - well, he had
been busy before, yet found time for coming here; and he
wandered over to ZOMG, found that not to his liking, and
then proceeded to troll at WP a bit. So clearly, time wasn't
the only reason for his leaving. Nor, whatever I said, is it really
likely to be the case for me.

Now, this begins to bring the big, "so what?" I mean, this is
intensity, right? We're not nannying. Still, I guess I'm hoping that
those involved in such gang bullying remember what it was like
to be the target of such. Maybe remember that they vowed
never to be such. Hell, I have nothing against drag out fights,
but something tastes WRONG about everyone siding up with
whomever they like and dislike. Which is what seems to happen,
nearly every time. As though party, not ideas, is the real discriminating
factor. Oh, we will argue with those we like, but not at all in the
same manner.

That is probably partly due to your NPD.  Women who are more isolated would be more likely to tolerate you.  Your wife was homeless when you met her, wasn't she?

Damn, careful with bias, Callaway. I could take issue with any number of the things you're implying here.

That women who like Calandale are isolated (in a bad way).
That women only tolerate him because they can't get any better, not because they genuinely like some of his qualities.
That a woman who has few/no female friends is isolated, and doesn't simply prefer males.
That Calandale's wife (whom you don't know in the slightest) may fit any of the above categories.
That homelessness implies a personal deficiency.

Homelessness implied that she would prefer to live with Calandale than on the streets, nothing more. 

I said nothing about whether or not she had many female friends, but she did leave him in the end, so his bad qualities ultimately outweighed his good qualities, at least in her eyes.

I believe that narcissists in general tend to choose people who are more isolated, move in on them very quickly and isolate them even more, so a person who had few friends, male or female, would be more likely to be targeted by one.
'At's basically what I got, though the homelessness, I also wondered if you meant that she might not have had an especially good social support system.

And, this isn't a comment on calandale or callaway, but just on isolation (something I dealt with recently, so it's still sorta fresh):  I've seen guys also try to sweep in on women who had goodish support systems but poor self-esteem/sense of self-preservation, but then isolate.  Pretty horrible to see happen, when you're part of the social support system.

It disturbs me not just because you dislike Calandale and I don't, but because of all the stereotypical social mores it reinforces.
What mores does it reinforce?

To me, it appears to reinforce the myth that women are naturally helpless and men naturally predatory...that women can't think for themselves and make their own decisions about what type of person with whom to get involved...and that certain men consciously isolate women in order to consciously manipulate them psychologically and/or emotionally.  It's not always that simple.

I don't think that men do any more conscious manipulating of women than women do of men.  I know just as many men whose lives were damaged by women as vice-versa.  People are people, after all - everyone has their own self-interests to advance.

I would think that a lot of homeless people must not have a very good support system. 

I also have been part of the support system for someone who was then pretty much isolated from everyone else but the guy, who was abusive.  It was horrible to see.

I don't know how much of that sort of manipulation is conscious, but I think that men are more often naturally predatory and that men more often try to isolate their partners from their friends and family than women do.   I wonder if these sorts of relationships would usually become codependent relationships?

I guess so.  I'm not sure what co-dependent really means, though.  I keep hearing different definitions.

My question would be:  why do certain women willingly accept controlling behaviors from guys, anyway?

Well, maybe that's what co-dependent means.  You give off a needy vibe, and so needy females who need a needy guy to feel needed then throw themselves at you.  I guess everyone's happy for awhile.  What ends up going wrong with this picture??   ???

You might be surprised. I've known a good number
of homeless people, in my time (surprise), there's a
whole community. I actually envy them for the friends
that they tend to have - much more than I usually do.

had closer ties to her family than anyone

I think it goes both ways. And sickens me.
I demanded my freedom, and felt that to
avoid being a hypocrite, I'd have to give the
same. Had many males shocked at the things
I'd 'let' my wife do. Had my friends report shit
to my wife, because they thought that such shouldn't
be happening in THEIR idea of a relationship. If you
can't trust (or at least make an effort) someone, you
don't belong with them.

Well good, you need mental exercise, perhaps if you get more, you will be confused less often.
It is weird when I see  you guys do it, no offense.  I got confused today in the therapist's office, but I know I am tired, even though I don't feel it so much because of positive coping.  I also have a mouth full of sheetrock air in my throat, It can make it hard to sleep coughing every 5 seconds, if I don't turn the air purifier on, my grandmother left to me.  Oh man, that air must be screwing me up, I got confused in a way that never do, a way inwhich I tried to clue you guys in.   Something told me to get, and I am glad I did.  Ever since I started taking supplementary vitamin c in the dose of 2-3grams, I have not had nasal allergies, so it wasn't that.  I am long overdue for a physical, but I am in no hurry, I am in good shape.  I am noting that, I may get confused if I get tired with mouth full of sheetrock, probably won't, but maybe.

Callaway, I just read something about autism in my life extension magazine.  A novel theory, that I think is also highly plausable, around vitamin D.  Vitamin D deficency during devolpement can affect numerous proteins in the body, leading to some of the systoms of autism.  Rats with enlarged brain or skull (not sure which one due to sheet rock brains), had vitamin D deficent diets durning devolpement.   People with rickets display some of the symptoms of autism to, and it goes away when vitamin D deficency is made up.  I take vitamin D, in a dose of 1000iu a day, which should be the RDI, and not little shit amount of 400iu.  If anyone starts dxing me, I am not going to respond, I don't think there is any point.  I am going to be telling my therapist/clincal social worker, he should not waste his time on me any more, I feel that good.  Soon as I stop seeing him, I can try to pay the back balance gas bill, and rent.  Electric bill over balance is gone,  rent, I paid $200 of the back balance already, and another $450 to go.

Callaway, 82 pages!  That's impressive.  I have a question for you.    I have hard water in my house.  I want to put a watersoftener on it.  But I don't like the taste of softened water.    We have a well and the water tastes great.

Can I put the watersoftener just on the hotwater side (before the hotwater heater) and leave the cold water un-softened?.

(Mechanically I can do this, but people I've asked said it would be dumb to only soften half of my water system.)

Callaway, 82 pages!  That's impressive.  I have a question for you.    I have hard water in my house.  I want to put a watersoftener on it.  But I don't like the taste of softened water.    We have a well and the water tastes great.

Can I put the watersoftener just on the hotwater side (before the hotwater heater) and leave the cold water un-softened?.

(Mechanically I can do this, but people I've asked said it would be dumb to only soften half of my water system.)    

You could do it that way, I guess.  Why wouldn't you just run another water line to the kitchen for drinking water that is not softened, instead, if you need softened water for everything else?

Why do you want to install a water softener anyway?  What problems are you having?  How hard is your water?  If you just have softened hot water, then of course if you mix half hot and half cold water, it will be only half as soft.

The water comes in the house in the basement, to get good drinking water at taps, I'd have to go to 3 bathrooms and the kitchen upstairs, and I hate the thought of running pipes up through the ceiling / floor.  Our water is not extremely hard, but it tends to muck up the hotwater heater the most since it tends to concentrate the solids. 

I think half soft water would actually be good enough for the fixtures and tubs, as far as scale build up goes.  Plus, I use cold water for watering the grass and outside stuff, and it seems a waste to soften that. 

I guess I was just questioning my reasoning on this.

I talked to my husband, who used to live in a place with very hard water and some people there did have water softeners for just their hot water, to spare their hot water heaters.  I definitely would not want to water grass with softened water.

Since I was attempting to convince him,
in the circumstances, one would presume that
his suggesting that there should be a poll was
a means for affecting his decisions.

Your statement was much more authoritarian
in nature than anything he stated. As is your
style.

No question that the poll might not have meant
anything. Your statement though, and dunc ignoring
the situation, made it essentially the law - and may have
discouraged people from considering the issue. Now, I can
understand why dunc may not have wanted to bind himself
to the results of the poll - for perhaps it would have been largely
ignored anyhow. But, your statement made it seem like those who
supported such open discussion might fall under the opposition
umbrella. Some may have noticed what happens to such people,
around here.

That's because he's really not felt comfortable enough to talk about his own personal shit, but its also part of the reason why he never wanted to be in charge- he always wanted to be there to take site back ups and fix/change things, but not to actually be the site 'leader.'

By hounded, I mean the pack mentality. By away,
I mean told to GTFO. Both have applied to me.
Both applied to Lit. Both applied to Scrap.

You have accused both me and Callaway for driving them away, directly. No pack mentality; you accused us.

You? I don't think so. I'm not even sure Callaway intended,
but when she gets roused for a fight, the minions all come
yipping after her target. You've been a good minion, with your
'please go away' attitude.

This is so ridiculous, Calandale.  

I do not have "minions" because everyone here thinks for themselves.  

It is ridiculous for you to suggest that I spearheaded an effort to drive Scrapheap away and it is even more ridiculous for you to suggest that I spearheaded a similar campaign to drive Litigious away and that I am responsible for his mental health issues.  

I liked Litigious and we got along pretty well.  I had a hard time even believing what he did to the site at first when he had his meltdown.  I did not like him betraying our members' personal information as part of his meltdown and I would have told him so, but he left soon after he did it.  

I think that if anyone bullied Litigious, it must have been you.  I remember Litigious reducing your karma to 5 one time.  What did you do to provoke him into doing that?  Perhaps what you did to him was spearheading a campaign to drive him away from here and contributing to his mental health issues.

I've not made that claim. Others, mostly of

led that one.

Not so well that you'd help protect him. Or even refrain

him about his little 15 yo plaything. Which certainly couldn't
have helped.

This issue was discussed elsewhere, in the site direction thread.
I think that was a good natured exchange. BUT, the fact that
I was a usual ally of his might have made my slap sting a bit. His
reaction after the fact was clearly not one of bitterness or
anger, however. Perhaps seeing you as jumping into the
consistent attacks on him had a greater effect. No telling.

Do you assert that your slanted poll determined the wishes of a clear majority of members not to have elections for administrator, Calandale?

Here it is:

http://www.intensitysquared.com/index.php?topic=7181.0

It's called, "Did Yall Mean What You Voted For?" and you repeatedly insulted the intelligence our members in it.

These were your options, which were also slanted:

"Yes - we were just joking when we voted against this," which had 4 votes.
"No - We trust dunc to select whatever staff he needs," which had 5 votes. 

People said that they could not understand your menu options or they did not want to play your mind games to vote in this poll, but you would not make a more neutral poll except later after that one finished (in an attempt to prove me wrong).  I said, "I tried to tell Calandale how he could change the wording of this poll to find out what people actually wanted without us having to play his mind games just to vote, but he wouldn't listen, because he wanted to shit-stir and play mind games."

Then you said, "Doesn't make a fuck load of difference.  Here, I'll show you."

Here it is:

http://www.intensitysquared.com/index.php?topic=7424.0

It's called, "Elected Admins" and because there are no slanted options and only minimal insulting commentary from you, it had a very different outcome.

The vote was 10 to 3 in favor of having elections, so you continue to attack our members as not being able to think for themselves, rather than understand and accept that the slanted wording of your first poll was to blame for the discrepancy.

in your poll.

That isn't really the point I don't think.  The point as I see it is that there was a poll started about whether or not the members wanted elections and a staff member clearly states on that poll thread that there 'will be elections' ,suggesting that even if the membership voted that they no longer wanted elections it wouldn't matter.  Perhaps this was just another instance of Odeon expressing his own personal opinion, that he never meant to be taken as the official line- but if that's the case why not just say so instead of trying to claim that he was just repeating Dunc's official position as 'leader' on the issue??

Actually I did wonder who was 'allowed' to say that a poll was set up in such a way as to skew the results, but like I said I don't think that's the most important point as far as this issue goes. Its the suggestion (even if its only implied) that there's an official line that could over-ride the members' wishes that bothers me.   Personally I think that if anyone else had set up a poll worded in exactly the same way people would have assumed they were trying to be humorous with the options, something not uncommon on here, and people wouldn't have had a problem with it.  Unfortunately I don't see anyway to make people judge posts/polls on their merits without letting who started it colour their view.

I think that anyone is allowed to express their opinion of the wording of a poll, and the first one was slanted so that a yes vote implied that

1) the person was joking in their vote to dissolve the WC and turn over the decision making for Intensity back to "Team Despot" and that

2) the person did not trust Dunc.

I don't think that who started the poll did color anyone's view, Purposeful Insanity.

Calandale started both polls and the vote was very different in the neutral one he started from the vote in the slanted one he started, so it can't be the fact that he started the first one, it has to be the slanted and confusing way that he worded it.

Seemed a reasonable issue, given the prior vote.
Might NOT have halted the current election - though
there would have been time, given that there was a

Ok- what I'm struggling to understand about the situation is how we can be going back to pre-WC days with elections and members having the right to set up polls, but, at the same time, have it set in stone that there were going to be elections.  If people had voted they didn't want them surely we would have had no choice but to scrap them? (It seemed that you were saying that we wouldn't- am I wrong?  :-\ )

Again, I wasn't decreeing anything, I was repeating what we had already decided--to have an election, pre-WC style, and reacting to yet another mind game by Calandale, one where he went from an outspoken advocate of the World Council type direct democracy to an Intensity ruled by despots. I find it difficult to take him seriously because of this kind of thing, and I know I'm not the only one.

Correct me if I'm wrong but in the pre-WC days, elections started to happen because the staff then decided it would be a good thing to have them, not because there was a vote by the general membership. In a similar manner, a poll could not actually stop the elections from happening.

Hmm. Maybe McJ or Callaway (or Dunc) knows...

A poll stopped the WC though which was set up in the same way.  We've always allowed members to vote on any issue- are you suggesting that the question of whether or not we have elections should be off limits in your opinion.

When have I EVER advocated the despotism?
I was merely putting forth the point that we HAD
voted that in, against my wishes. And, that maybe
people actually meant to absolutely ignore the option
which would have returned things to the pre-WC days,
instead have just been misrepresenting what they wanted.

I can see that you DON'T trust the vote there, so why in
elections for admins? Is it because you know that a popularity
contest is safe, but voting on issues is not?

Calandale started both polls and the vote was very different in the neutral one he started from the vote in the slanted one he started, so it can't be the fact that he started the first one, it has to be the slanted and confusing way that he worded it.

  Yet no-one claimed that Dunc's humorously worded poll with his tag-line of "Vote despotism. You know it makes sense." was set up to skew the results.  Is that because people rightly assumed that Dunc was trying to be funny? Is there any reason why it wouldn't be assumed that Cal was also trying to be funny?

His continued ... what ever it is ... drums up a different set of sensibilities in those who try to take him seriously. It's like licking a toad. Sure you got high for a while, but you fucking had to lick a toad to do it.

What's been concerning me is that valid points on this debate and the prank list one were ignored and/or written off as bullshit- naturally that makes me wonder why those issues were being ignored.  I also feel that there was enough opposition to the aniti-prank list that it shouldn't have just been secretly set up anyway without a vote- that feels a little too much like a 'we staff know best' decision

You'd have to remember the situation. There had been lots of pranks right then, some of which went overboard, and some members were upset and others were leaving. (I'm not judging anything here, btw, just pointing out what took place.) Some members were very unhappy or angry or both, and when the do not prank list for admins was discussed and a thread started, it was simply to not unnecessarily make those members targets for further pranks, and because a similar thread had been started in th WC.

It was a discussion, not "we staff know best". A similar (only more heated) discussion was taking place publicly. There was no conspiracy, but there was a rather special situation, one that eventually resulted in two admins resigning.

Why is it that on one hand, members are constantly reminded of the fact that this place is supposed to be "intense" and no kid gloves should be used (and the no pranks list should consequently not exist, etc), but on the other hand, hints about Lit and Scrap being "driven off" abound? What makes them special? Why should some members be good sports and put up with things they have explicitly said no to, when poor Scrap and Lit should never have been bullied off this place (irony, in case somebody misses it)?

I don't know what happened to Scrap, but I do know a bit about what actually happened to Lit. Lit's story differs a lot from what is usually hinted here and is, in some ways, far more tragic.

It being set up secretly anyway and not announced just makes me feel uncomfortable.  No reason has been given why it wasn't announced and it makes me wonder if it was to prevent opposition.  As for the reasons for the prank list- we've already been through all this for and couldn't agree- is it worth going there again?

As for you second point- I've already discussed this with you also- but the crux of the argument is that I feel the exact same way you do only about different people.  The anti-prank list could be considered kid gloves for certain members too- doubly so since the secret one it was never formally announced so only certain people could get on it.   It just seems that how certain people see things carries a lot more weight that how others do.

Have I ONCE suggested that anything be done about it?
Unlike the decision to make a no-pranks list, I have
only been pointing out certain people's methods
of hounding people away - primarily in order to
warn those here whom I like, and don't want
to see leave. To prepare them, and to understand
what is happening to me, as well as why.

He was also TERRIBLY hounded here, at that time. I'm not

Though, to be fair, he was only being attacked personally -
not over personal issues, in the context of the site ones.
Which I feel is fair game, actually.

PI:

I don't think there was an actual reason for not announcing the list. I suspect the issue simply slipped away somewhere amidst the banter and more recent drama.

And I agree that the list can be seen as kid gloves. Of course it can. There will always be some of that here. We have an actual problems forum, too, which is kid gloves to some. It's just the way things are. Don't know what to do about it all, or if anything should be done.

More or less. Your type of game is different from most when it coincides with any of your obsessions. An argument can be made that most "mind games" by others here are simply discussions rather than the games you engage in. Sometimes they have a set goal. Sometimes there is a principle or a standpoint you wish to explore. And sometimes... well, just for the game.

Correct me if I'm wrong but in the pre-WC days, elections started to happen because the staff then decided it would be a good thing to have them, not because there was a vote by the general membership. In a similar manner, a poll could not actually stop the elections from happening.

Hmm. Maybe McJ or Callaway (or Dunc) knows...

I believe that the first election for administrators was mostly Dunc's idea at first, but McJagger was the one who ran with it.  We kept Omega and we were going to keep Eamonn, and have two elected admins, but then Eamonn decided not to do it after all, so we had three elected admins instead of the two we were going to elect.

You are only getting back what you dish out, Calandale.  If you personally attack people, it is only reasonable that they will fight back.

I don't remember people telling Litigious to GTFO.  Some people got tired of the multitude of Dec posts, I think.  He had some pretty controversial attitudes and people disagreed with him about some of those.

I don't think that I said that much to him about Linda until after he had already broken it off with her and he said that she was trying to get him back, but her parents wouldn't let her leave the house to see him.  I believe that I said that her parents' protectiveness was understandable, since I would feel the same way her parents did if I had a 15 year old daughter who wanted to get out of the house to meet with a 36 year old man.  I remember that I was very happy for him at first that he had found a girlfriend, but I don't think that I was aware of her age until later.

And we both play the same record, once more.
(it DOES take two - or more). Our definitions differ.
I've never attacked you on your personal life. And
certainly not in matters unrelated. If I ever did,
and 'twas pointed out, I'd be quite shamed - as
I feel in the case of QM. Even if provoked (as I was
very much so then), my standards should be higher.
I thought yours were.

BUT - my impression is that your own going personal
was triggered not by my attacks, but rather, by the
issue of my campaign promise, which is petty beyond
belief.

And, you do have a serious disagreement with the age
difference. I'm really not certain how much you were attacking
him. Others were certainly far meaner. Meaner than anyone's
been to me or scrap or hadron. At least in my opinion. Again though,
that was all on topic - which is a definite difference.

The point was not to paint you with his leaving, but to show that
many of the same ones who have hounded the trio mentioned did
so with him - indeed telling him to GTFO.

It just seems that how certain people see things carries a lot more weight that how others do.

Well, duh! Life isn't fair. Why should an internet site be?

Honestly? I can't think of any reason why it would be- other than I just had higher expectations of this place.

Didn't see much of that, to be honest. I did see people reacting against his more extreme views during the last month or so.

Were you blind to it with Scrap, and myself too?

Maybe I just interpret things differently, because I haven't seen the "hounding" you speak of. I have seen people grow tired of what Lit, Scrap and you do, in various ways. I think Scrap was treated pretty much the the way he treated others. Not that well, in other words. In no way was he an innocent bystander, which is what you try to make it sound like.

More or less. Your type of game is different from most when it coincides with any of your obsessions. An argument can be made that most "mind games" by others here are simply discussions rather than the games you engage in. Sometimes they have a set goal. Sometimes there is a principle or a standpoint you wish to explore. And sometimes... well, just for the game.

So, 'simple' discussions are those which are pointless? Anything which matters
is actually a 'game'? This is remarkably like my own definition.

No, that's your interpretation.

How can one be sure that anything is pointless though?  And, what does it mean
to be 'just for the game' if not pointless?

BTW - I don't see that this really is true in regards to my obsessions.
My largest obsessions never seem to go into such discussions.

Well, you know best what actually are your largest obsessions. Perhaps I should rephrase, but it is clear that your obsessions get a special treatment here.

I have a question for Callaway.

How much longer do you think this crap is going to go on?

This is an excellent question, Tesla.  I wish I knew the answer.

As long as Calandale is here, he will continue to attack Odeon and me and probably Dunc as well (or whoever the semi-permanent administrator and webmonkeys are) because Calandale thinks that being an administrator or webmonkey is about power, when it isn't.  It's about serving the members, which is quite the opposite of what he thinks, actually.  He has compared both Odeon and me to Hitler, he has repeatedly attacked our character, and he has attacked Dunc as well.  Apparently, he believes that slinging mud at other people makes him better than they are.  I think that it has something to do with his NPD, where he tears other people down to make himself look better.  It seems to be a pattern of behavior for him.  For example, look at his posts where he talks about raping that woman he calls his PE and tearing her face open.  He shifted the blame for his criminal actions from himself onto her.

This puts us in the unfortunate position of either choosing not to respond to his numerous personal attacks, or responding to them.  Responding to his personal attacks feeds his narcissism, but not responding means that his lies stand unchallenged, and there are some people who will believe them.  Actually, since he spams each of his personal attacks in several places, his lies would probably stand unchallenged in most of them anyway, or else we would have to be as obsessed as he seems to be to respond everywhere he posts the same attacks.  This is his fighting style to make unsubstantiated allegations in numerous places, almost never backing up any of them, burying his opponents in a barrage of words, and deliberately misreading their words to the point that they give up trying to communicate with him.

I don't see a solution.  I think that it would be a very bad idea to allow him to run Intensity the way he wants it to be run to shut him up, because his vision of Intensity seems to be quite different from everyone else's.

Do you see a solution?

I will always be vigilant against those who are in power, yes.
Any display of apparent abuses will be noted. And, any attacks
(such as this) on my habit will be defended against.

Quote
...because Calandale thinks that being an administrator or webmonkey is about power, when it isn't.  It's about serving the members, which is quite the opposite of what he thinks, actually.

No. I know precisely what it is about. But, power is an
unfortunate side-effect, when the members are unable
to do things for themselves. One which can be (and is)
abused.

Quote
  He has compared both Odeon and me to Hitler,

Posting :hitler: does not constitute a comparison.

Quote
he has repeatedly attacked our character,

As expressed in your posts and actions here.

Quote
and he has attacked Dunc as well.


When need be. He tends to be less prone to abuses,
EVEN though he is willing to prank. Kinda is leading me
to a hypothesis about those who are so unhappy with
being pranked.

Quote
For example, look at his posts where he talks about raping that woman he calls his PE and tearing her face open.  He shifted the blame for his criminal actions from himself onto her.

No. The blame is mine. (but, once again, onto the personal)
I merely filled in details which were pertinent. As to tearing her
face open, honestly, I have no idea what was behind that - it
was not done in anger.

I actually agree with this. There is NO vision.
There are ideals, democracy was one. Freedom
is another. I try and come up with thoughts which
MIGHT help, in the hopes that they can be hammered
into something workable.

Clearly though, I see no advantage to some stances of
the current staff. For example the opposition to allowing
members to control their own profiles. Having to constantly
beg for an admin to do this is goofy.

I posted a question, and it didn't get answered.  Everyone was too busy picking at each other.

I saw your question, Carlotta.  I am incapable of answering it extremely briefly, as you requested.  Summarizing everything into a single sound bite is something that I'm not skilled at doing.  Answering it at all will probably only serve to feed the troll, who is not you, of course. 
Or maybe you could not even answer the question in say a side of A4, because you have no answer. Instead you continue to snipe and score cheap shots.

Calandale's ideas are all over the place, both literally and figuratively, so his "vision for Intensity" seems to be somewhat schizophrenic.  Many of his ideas contradict one another and it seems obvious to me that he cannot have thought them through before he suggested them.  It's a shame, because he may have one or two good ideas but I can't tell you what they are because who wants to dig through 30000 tons of manure to find a piece of chocolate?
I thought many of his good ideas could be touched on by looking at his thread titles, when you begin to read they can be rather interesting.
what are you? like calandales fucking shadow?

No. Just someone who sometimes agrees. And is seeing that
others are crawling out of the woodwork too.

Amy had some mango yesterday, and now she's broken out in hives all over...  the thing is, we had fresh mango, which she hasn't had before, but she used to eat dried mango all the time.  Do you think you can be allergic to a fresh fruit, but not the dried version?

Yes, I think that it is possible.  There are some enzymes in fresh mango that are deactivated when the fruit is dried, for example.

It is also possible that she has developed a new allergy to mango. 

I'm allergic to both penicillin and sulfa drugs now, but I was not allergic to them when I took them several times before the allergies developed.

Has Amy taken some Benadryl or something for her hives?

If it was just on your hands and fingers, I wonder if it was hand soap or lotion or something else you touched that you could have been allergic to?

I got hives with those two antibiotics I developed an allergy to, and so did my daughter, who is now allergic to both of them too, but we got them all over our bodies.

She had to take penicillin every day from when she was three weeks old until she was over two months old, then she took a sulfa antibiotic every day after that until quite recently when she became allergic to it.  She does not have to take an antibiotic every day anymore, though.

Of course you are, that's how you operate; there always has to be a bad guy to your good guy.

This reminds me of a certain other site of yours that I belonged too; exact same circus.

You always did like to say that you were leaving in order to get pity (you live for the latter).

But, of course, even if you did "leave:" you'd still be here in vast numbers; you're never really gone, probably never will be.

I can picture you delivering the eulogy at your own funeral (disguised as someone else, of course).

obviously i won't post who said it as it's solved now and he apologised so we get on fine, but it was kind of weird. no idea which "other site" it is

pissed me off a lot at the time, but he's a good guy i think, just paranoid like me lol

She's 11.  The penicillin was the worst, because it often made her vomit, so I had to try to be sure I always gave it at a time when I had not just given her the heart medicines.  The doctor said that if it made her vomit within a few minutes then to redose her, but if she vomited after that not to worry, but it usually made her vomit right away, so I almost always had to redose her.  I did not want to take a chance with her vomiting the heart medicines because I felt that they needed to be more exact with their dosages, though.

I wouldn't call it a "racist" comment any more than some of the other comments made in that thread.  It was more like scrap being scrap.  It was Shima herself who told me that TigerLily tended to be very touchy/sensitive.

 :green:

That stuff is more like "Black Hole" chocolate. 

Believe it or not, here is actually Lindt 85% Cocoa Dark Chocolate:

(http://www.love-chocolate.com/images/lindt85pctdark.jpg)

I like it too, but it's a little bitter.


Yummy. :drool:

So, you like dark chocolate too?

OK, I'll share.

 8)



OOH, oooh.

I want some, too!

Have you ever had it, just roasted and brewed, the way some might do with coffee beans?


... or how about just mixed into food, used delicately as a as a fruit flavoring, like in Central and South American cuisine?

OK, I'll share it with you too.   :green:

I have not had it freshly roasted and brewed.  It sounds delicious.

I'm a wuss, I prefer milk chocolate and my favorite chocolate creme pie has to have a REAL pastry crust.   :green:  As for Dark Chocolate, my preference is a Dark Chocolate Mousse with a nice bitterish aftertaste.   Unfortunately, I have only found it in two restaurants and I'm nowhere near them atm.   :'(

How about this chocolate cream pie, then?

but i like them, they have white chocolate ones as well that my little brother likes

sometimes my mum would buy a packet of them and leave them in the cupboard and give him some now and then, and i stole a couple :laugh: i feel bad about that... but too much chocolate is bad for him so nevermind :P

My daughter has a hissy fit if she sees a salt shaker on the table and screams, "Sodium Chloride!  That can kill me!"

So I'm not sure that I'm the best one to ask. 

Are the salt crystals your daughter is picking up sodium chloride or magnesium chloride?

Does she care at all that they are dirty?  I mean will she pick up a cookie off the ground and eat it?  If not, it might be a good thing to tell her that they are nasty.

Otherwise, I guess you could tell her about some things that taste good to dogs and cats, like antifreeze, that poison them and how they drink it because it tastes good to them but they don't know how dangerous it is, because they are not smart like she is.

Here is some information for sodium chloride:

They reportedly use chloride salts of magnesium, sodium and potassium on our roads, here, depending on the temperature.

This is a brand new behavior I have discovered in her and I am almost certain it is simply related to her craving for the flavor of salt. I have never seen her pick up anything else, since she was a crawler, and put it into her mouth.

She is very good about washing and not eating after another person, but for some reason this odd thing has just gone right past all her "rules."

I am hoping that there is something to this that I can figure out. I know she thinks that the crystals are very pretty, like jewels, but she doesn't put her dolls' jewelry into her mouth, which is also very pretty and about the same size.

We'll see how day one has gone when she gets here.

Hoping it's a fluke.

Could it be something like pica, I wonder?

If that is what it is, then giving her a daily vitamin and mineral supplement, including iron, might help, like Randy suggested.

Here is something about pica, although for her to actually be diagnosed with pica, this would have to persist over a month even though you try to keep her from doing it.

Is it these:

# Cinderella - Unrecognised virtue at last recognised. It's the same story as the Tortoise and the Hare. Cinderella doesn't have to be a girl, nor does it even have to be a love story. What is essential is that the good is despised, but is recognised in the end, something that we all want to believe.

# Achilles - The Fatal Flaw, that is the groundwork for practically all classical tragedy, although it can be made comedy too, as in the old standard Aldwych farce. Lennox Robinson's The Whiteheaded Boy is the Fatal Flaw In reverse.

# Faust- The Debt that Must be Paid, the fate that catches up with all of us sooner or later. This is found in all its purity as the chase in O'Neill's The Emperor Jones. And in a completely different mood, what else is the Cherry Orchard?

# Tristan - that standard triangular plot of two women and one man, or two men and one woman. The Constant Nymph, or almost any French farce.

# Circe - The Spider and the Fly. Othello. The Barretts of Wimpole Street, if you want to change the sex. And if you don't believe me about Othello (the real plot of which is not the triangle and only incidentally jealousy) try casting it with a good Desdemona but a poor Iago.

# Romeo and Juliet - Boy meets Girl, Boy loses Girl, Boy either finds or does not find Girl: it doesn't matter which.

# Orpheus - The Gift taken Away. This may take two forms: either the tragedy of the loss itself, as in Juno and the Paycock, or it may be about the search that follows the loss, as in Jason and the Golden Fleece.

# The Hero Who Cannot Be Kept Down. The best example of this is that splendid play Harvey, made into a film with James Stewart.

I like this take, too:


   1. [wo]man vs. nature
   2. [wo]man vs. man
   3. [wo]man vs. the environment
   4. [wo]man vs. machines/technology
   5. [wo]man vs. the supernatural
   6. [wo]man vs. self
   7. [wo]man vs. god/religion


Or this one:


The man vs xxxx plots above would all be summarised as "overcoming the monster".

He gives us, (fogive me for desperately oversimplifying his [his meaning, Christopher Booker in his "Seven Basic
Plots -- why we tell stories"] magnus opus):

1. Overcoming the monster -- defeating some force which threatens...
e.g. most Hollywood movies; Star Wars, James Bond.

2. The Quest -- typically a group setoff in search of something and
(usually) find it. e.g. Watership Down, Pilgrim's Progress.

3. Journey and Return -- the hero journeys away from home to somewhere
different and finally comes back having experienced something and
maybe changed for the better. e.g. Wizard of Oz, Gullivers Travels.

4. Comedy - not neccesarily a funny plot. Some kind of
misunderstanding or ignorance is created that keeps parties apart
which is resolved towards the end bringing them back together. e.g.
Bridget Jones Diary, War and Peace.

5. Tragedy - Someone is tempted in some way, vanity, greed etc and
becomes increasingly desperate or trapped by their actions until at a
climax they usually die. Unless it's a Hollywood movie, when they
escape to a happy ending. e.g. Devils' Advocate, Hamlet.

6. Rebirth - hero is captured or oppressed and seems to be in a state
of living death until it seems all is lost when miraculously they are
freed. e.g. Snow White.

7. Rags to Riches - self explanatory really. e.g. Cinderella &
derivatives (all 27,000 of them)!!!

Have you managed to influence your daughter to KEEP things out of her mouth? How do you help her to recognize that certain things are ALWAYS dangerous, no matter how good they taste?

I just discovered that my daughter is picking up salt crystals from the road plows and keeping the "pretty ones" to suck on during the day.

 
Got any suggestions?

My daughter has a hissy fit if she sees a salt shaker on the table and screams, "Sodium Chloride!  That can kill me!"

So I'm not sure that I'm the best one to ask. 

Are the salt crystals your daughter is picking up sodium chloride or magnesium chloride?

Does she care at all that they are dirty?  I mean will she pick up a cookie off the ground and eat it?  If not, it might be a good thing to tell her that they are nasty.

Otherwise, I guess you could tell her about some things that taste good to dogs and cats, like antifreeze, that poison them and how they drink it because it tastes good to them but they don't know how dangerous it is, because they are not smart like she is.

Here is some information for sodium chloride:

http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/search/r?dbs+hsdb:@term+@rn+7647-14-5

Here is some information for magnesium chloride:

http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/search/r?dbs+hsdb:@term+@rn+7786-30-3

I see one of piaget's stages of devolpment, the child cannot reason.  Sodium chloride is practically unavoidable,  I remember from my chemisty class, which lots of people had trouble with, in my class, that sodium cannot exsist on its own, something about it exploding.  They put in oil or something, trauma rotted my education, but not alot.  The example I am remembering is that it may know it has a brother, but it cannot get that its mom has a brother and daughter.

How old is your daughter, Callaway?  Sorry I got crazy on you. I am so sorry I went crazy on everyone.  I am noticing with the weight I am loosing, I am feeling better, not worse.  Mom was so worried, but I had to explain somethings about medicine to her, next thing I know, she is patting me on the head.  She herd the magical word, testosterone, manly harmone.  I am not neive, she wants me to have sex, and that means get read as quickly as possible.  Body fat makes aromtase enzyme that turns testosterone into estrogen.  The whole reason I was offered that shoot in that dirty mag was because I exercise so much, but it was back page :laugh:  I noticed improvement in metabolic parameters, equating to better mood.
Sounds like its gonning to get crazier with higher harmone levels.  Back on track, old is your daughter?

It's OK, Randy.  I understand that you have a few issues, which may be different from the ones I have.

My daughter is 11.  You are probably right that she has a theory of mind issue, which is actually common at least in some form in children who are autistic.

They keep pure sodium under kerosene to prevent it from contacting water.  If you throw a tiny piece of sodium into a swimming pool, it reacts explosively.

I have tried explaining to my daughter that sodium chloride is almost unavoidable in our diets and that in small amounts it is safe and even necessary, but so far that doesn't help.

I was good about staying away from things that people had actually pointed out to me as unsafe, but anything else was fair game until I was caught.  DD, I think if you explain to her just how dangerous those crystals off the road can be, she'll probably get the point.  I always did, once someone got firm with me about it.

Understand that my knowledge of chemistry is minimal, incomplete and dangerous to begin with, but I have a product that is supposedly GOOD for my fuel system in my car.

It claims to "dissolve water" in the fuel tank and "keep it in suspension" to be burned, harmlessly,"  along with the rest of the gasoline.

i'm trying to find out what this stuff is and it is apparently an alcohol compound. The claims are that it will dissolve water, which to me starts out as bullshit, since using latin, water is already a liquid at pressures and temperatures where alcohol is liquid.. The further claims are that it keeps water in suspension - which of course means that it is possible to somehow combine with water and lower the specific gravity of the combination of chemicals (water dissolved in alcohol) enough that the specific gravity of this solution with water dissolved in it is less than, or simil;ar to, that of gasoline.

Am I being an overly paranoid consumer or is this product description totally full of shit?



O!

It's called HEET. I don't believe theri claims.

It is a great iea, but I don't think they can do this with something that I can pour into the tank.

No, it's not BS.  It probably has methanol in it, among other chemical compounds.  

People sometimes get some water in their gas tanks, perhaps because of high humidity and keeping their gas tank near empty or perhaps forgetting to put the gas cap back on.  If this happens, the water sits on the bottom of the tank because gasoline and water won't mix, in the same way that oil and water won't mix.  A chemist would say that oil and water are not miscible, rather than soluble, since they are both liquids.

Water is miscible with methanol and an methanol-water mixture is miscible with gasoline (as long as there is not too much water) so adding methanol to your gas tank is a way of getting the water out of the gas tank.

From what I remember, 11 years old is stage of concrete operations, and last is stage of formal operations.
The child cannot conserve weight or length, but given so close to then next stage, I am willing to bet your child can.  Callaway, what happened before your child got scared of sodium chloride?

I got another question, do you think you could run a mile faster than me, given that I have done an 11 hour aerobics session at almost maxium capacity, and I was 27lbs away from 12%body fat I wanted to be at.  I had no food and was going on caffeine low also.  Your husband could make a little cash doing nude shit for christ sakes, I got in thee with 24%body fat, but maybe because I exercised so hard, and stopped eating junkfood, it helped me get in to shitty back page.    I must have made a mistake in the calculations I fed into the machine when it said 5%.  Then all your husband would have to do is raise his arms and darken the image.  A midly devolped 6 pack comes out, that needs image darkening.    Maybe I was dehydrated so much that it looked good.  Fuckn nieve, people.  People who don't do well with lifestyle habits can mess up, and if you keep up, you can put one over on them.  Quote on quote NT's have paid me to much cash back.  Stupid fucks.  Overweight people can be healthier than skinny people if they are fit like me.  Repeating question, do you think you can run a mile quicker than me?

There was a character on a TV show for kids that she saw that could be destroyed by a single grain of sodium chloride, the Bionic Bunny.

She is the same way about lunar eclipses too, because of another character on another kid's TV show, which she is no longer allowed to see.

So,I suppose the plan should be to put this prudoct into my tank (it is very common to have car failure in Indianas because of high humidity and cold temperatures causing condensation in the fuel tanks) and run the tank out of gas?

I still don't see how it can keep water "in suspension,"  since water is so much heavier than gasoline. 

What about ethanol? I use fuel with ethanol at ten to twelve per cent concentration. most of the time. I can use fifteen per cent, but those tanks are limited and almost always empty, because many owners of newer cars fill up there. Does ethanol have a similar effect on the water that condenses in the fuel tanks?


If so, then I may already be doing all I can and I don't need this product.

It is more a question of how much water will be miscible with the gasoline with which additives.  If there is too much water, then the gas tank would have to be removed and emptied.

Yes, the ethanol definitely helps keep to keep the water and gasoline mixed, if the fuel does not already have too much water in it.  You could also use about a pint of anhydrous isopropyl alcohol (not rubbing alcohol) to "mop up" the excess water, and it works very well.  If it were me, I probably would try the Heet, although there are several commercially available products that make water more miscible with gasoline.

I found this website, which has several of these products and claims to test them head to head, but I'm not saying that QMI is necessarily better than Heet or any of the other products:

http://www.qmimo.com/fuel_demo_gas.htm

I would run the gasoline as low as practical after adding the water remover, but never actually let it run out of gas, since that will hurt the fuel pump.

No symptoms, really.

It came up in a conversation a couple of days ago with the guy who does my car maintenance. He recommended this as a preventative measure and gave me a pint of it. He was actually working on a car with a water/fuel problem when I disturbed him.  (I went in to schedule some time for my car next week.)   My natural suspicion of any sales technique made me question the claims made by the manufacturer.

I'm not convinced that I need it. I will probably give it back to him.

I am not sure, but according to my mom, I should be confused and cannot figure out this weight issue.  However, I do know that when one's lifestyle habits are good, ones weight and body fat levels tend to  gravatate towards healthy. I FIGURED IT OUT, IN YOUR FACE MOM!  I was eating lots of nuts, but nuts are nutritious and not as dubious as other foods.  I simply cut down, and I lost weight.  Doctors got concerned when I lost 20 lbs in a month, I just did it again, this time quicker.  I am finding my need for sleep go down now. They didn't like my weight being 135 or so, and now its steady at 137, with  less nuts.  It must be par to reach my goal, I will not allow myself to have sex untill everything is perfect, humanly perfect.  That will straighten out eventually, and I agree it doesn't look like I am "fat", it doesn't look like I lost any weight, except bloating in the abdominal region.  Surprised myself how nice my abs look with such a high body fat, either that or a diease is present confusing it. Enough about that now.

Your daughter is in the phase where she gives up her egocentric ways, and starts to learn what piaget calls cooperation ( to him it means seeing the world through other people's eyes)  I screwed up, according to piaget, she can conserve length, but not number or weight.  Counting is not the same as the concept of number, to piaget.  I had to reread it once more first, to make sure info is correct.  I have to be responsible for what knowledge I hold.  The last stage begins at 12, and continues through the rest of her life.  She beings to think in completely abstract terms.  I need to reread again. Its pretty good :laugh: You said disability, so  that must mean its farther away from this scheme.

 :evillaugh:

I think that annoying twunt is a rare game bird.  I found a recipe for Uccelli Arrosto -- Roast Game Birds.

 :flames:

The birds should be fresh and fat, but above all fresh. In those areas where they're sold ready plucked, you have to be careful to avoid being hoodwinked. If they look greenish or their bellies are darkened, give them a wide berth because, if you spit them, they will, in addition to splitting down the middle while they cook, give off that stench of decaying meat that the French call faisandée. The smell is intolerable to people with good taste.
 
Before spitting them, prepare them as follows: fold their wings over their backs, so each can hold one or two leaves of sage. Cut the feet off at the ankles and cross the legs, passing one knee over the other and hooking the bones through the tendons to keep them in place, and insert another leaf of sage in the hollow thus formed. Wrap the breasts of the birds with paper-thin salted slices of lard. Now spit them, putting the larger ones in the middle of the spit, and separating them with half inch thick slices of day old bread. My observation: A baguette is ideal for this.

Cook the birds over hot coals, and, if you haven't stuck their beaks into their sternums, begin by keeping them head down so that their necks will stiffen and their heads won't bob. Baste them once, when they begin to brown, using a brush or feather so as to avoid basting the bread, which will be seasoned enough by its contact with the lard. Salt them just once. Set the birds on the fire just before you'll want them, since they will cook quickly, and if they're done too soon they may well dry out. Slide them from the spit directly onto the platter, because they look more impressive when they're all lined up.

Roast game birds will be done in less than a half hour.

You will be hypotized, and instead of doing something sexual to you, I make it so you can't spaz offline, I will make you pull out your hidden strenght, you will impress people with no mild handicap,  you  will like to and find easly the ability to  train your self to olympic athlete fitness, and you can do a no junkfood diet.  Then I will do the same to rest of whom you are close to. :o

That visualization I do seems like a hypnotic state of some sorts once I do if for so long.  It seems to set off a string of goal orientated behaviors that are benefical for the person who does it.  The intensity/strenght/passion you go at is related to the intensity of the image you imagined.  It does infact seem to unlock your hidden strenght, making your body perform as if life were depending on it or something.

Bah, rationalizing behavior.  When you feel the energy I do, you will see what I mean.  I want the best mood possible, and that requires everything that may disrupt it to be removed, and that means trying to avoid, as much as possible, junkfood.  I can get in the mood more frequently to jack off or have sex more, so that is another reason to do this.  Once you have had something that makes you feel good, you don't want to let it go, and if its bad, you must find a healthy replacement. I got used to this, and now I enjoy it.

oh my, i didnt know. <fumbles for words> 




callaway, i am truly sorry for your loss. 

Sorry, Matthe(Gaspeite). That does seem rather harsh on my part.

Tact is not one of my strong points or yours either, apparently. If you go back and read, you may see that my intention was to stop you from being silly BEFORE you said something you would regret, thus possibly becoming an ass. I am regretful that it came out as harsh.

Obviously, since you did not know about her troubles, you needed to be made aware and telling you was a friendly thing to do.

In retrospect, I should have merely linked the post where she told us about her dad. Either way you would still feel bad, but I suppose now you can divide some of the sadness by anger for my lack of tact.

Hey, Callaway is an awesome person and if you and I have nothing else to talk about, then we can always just show our respect for her.

Again, I'm sorry if it seemed that I was not showing you a level of respect. I thought I was.

I'm going to post my message to you in the "Callaway" thread, as a public apology. I will edit your quote first.

The wiki article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanita_muscaria) is actually half decent and well referred.


I was being an ass when I posted that someone should make tea from one.

We sometimes find foot-wide samples of this treasure in our nearby woods. They tend toward the yellowish or orange, rather than reddish, coloring though.

I know that squirrels can eat them with total abandon and live to scream at me. I often find dead birds near drying samples, possibly from eating the slugs that ravage them.

They are certainly not safe for humans to consume.

Just me, but since my husband is taller, sometimes he does it instead because he can reach it without a stepladder.

One time I broke the bulb while I was changing it, so I had to turn off the circuit breaker and use pliers to get the metal base of the bulb out of the socket.

Callaway, have you heard of someone named Professor Gary Mesibov?

He is a Director of Division TEACCH (Director of Division? weird title) in USA. I think he works at a University in North Carolina (the information I have is not clear on that).

The Autism Association is having him over here to do a seminar and they are going mental about it. :P

I have not heard of him, but I did a search on him because of your question.

I think that he will give an interesting talk.

Here is a picture of him and a little more information about him and TEACCH:

What is TEACCH?

TEACCH is a North Carolina program administered through the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, but because of its training activities and publications the TEACCH approach is widely known nationally and internationally. 

Founded in the early 1970s by the late Eric Schopler, Ph.D., TEACCH developed the concept of the “Culture of Autism” as a way of thinking about the characteristic patterns of thinking and behavior seen in individuals with this diagnosis.  The “Culture of Autism” involves:

Relative strength in and preference for processing visual information (compared to difficulties with auditory processing, particularly of language).
Frequent attention to details but difficulty understanding the meaning of how those details fit together.
Difficulty combining ideas.
Difficulty with organizing ideas, materials, and activities.
Difficulties with attention. (Some individuals are very distractible, others have difficulty shifting attention when it’s time to make transitions.)
Communication problems, which vary by developmental level but always include impairments in the social use of language (called “pragmatics”).
Difficulty with concepts of time, including moving too quickly or too slowly and having problems recognizing the beginning, middle, or end of an activity.
Tendency to become attached to routines, with the result that activities may be difficult to generalize from the original learning situation and disruptions in routines can be upsetting, confusing, or uncomfortable.
Very strong interests and impulses to engage in favored activities, with difficulties disengaging once engaged.
Marked sensory preferences and dislikes.

The long-term goals of the TEACCH approach are both skill development and fulfillment of fundamental human needs such as dignity, engagement in productive and personally meaningful activities, and feelings of security, self-efficacy, and self-confidence.  To accomplish these goals, TEACCH developed the intervention approach called “Structured Teaching.” 

The principles of Structured Teaching include:

Understanding the culture of autism.
Developing an individualized person- and family-centered plan for each client or student, rather than using a standard curriculum.
Structuring the physical environment.
Using visual supports to make the sequence of daily activities predictable and understandable .
Using visual supports to make individual tasks understandable....

[impersonation of callaway] can do if there's a reasonable seam allowance.  sew the seams close to the edge, tapering off down the leg - all seams: the one going round your bum from back to front; the ones going down each leg on the outside; and the one going round your crotch and down each leg on the inside - and then unpick the original seam and wash and iron them, to get out the original creases.  a stich/seam ripper is invaluable for undoing seams, and costs pennies.  of course seams on jeans are an effing nightmare to unpick, cos they're usually double-seamed.   :-\ [/impersonation of callaway]

(soz for being cheeky and answering, callaway, but my seamstress soul cried out to do so.  ;) )

It depends on how big the seam allowances are and how the pants are made.  Some men's pants have a center seam through the waistband and a wider seam allowance at the center back to allow for easier alterations, so on these, you would take the waistband apart in the middle and rip out the center back seam and make the pants bigger there.   On some kinds of pants you could get as little more room by taking off the waistband and making narrower seams at all three seam allowances at the waist, if they are wider than they need to be, and then sewing the waistband back on and moving the button.  You could probably get away with a serged seam that is between an eighth of an inch wide and a quarter of an inch wide, if it is a pretty tight seam.

Why is that?  (the part about it being that you seem to have LESS accent than the rest of your family and friends where you grew up)

*just posted a real Question For Callaway*


I have always heard the same thing about myself. A week in Texas and my wife makes fun of me for talking like a hick (uhm, like my family does).

These days she accuses me of trying to sound "ignorant" on the telephone, because my Texas accent comes forth when I talk on the telephone.

I wonder why it would be so obvious that I have trouble maintaining a neutral sounding speech when I am on the phone.

BTW, I don't try to hide an accent, but I try to speak in a way that is more universally understood. Opening my mouth and not skipping vowels as much, for instances.




... or as it is said ... in a true Texas accent, all the letters kinda "lean on each other.".   I try hard to make all the letters all stand up, each on its own when I speak.

I think that it is because you are under stress when you talk on the telephone.

I hear the same thing from my husband, but he wouldn't call it "talking like a hick."

Why does your wife think that a Texas accent sounds ignorant, I wonder?

What kind of accent does she have?

My husband has sort of an Indiana accent, because his dad grew up near New Harmony and his mom grew up near Purdue, where her father was a botany professor.

For me, it's when I talk to people who have a pronounced Southern accent that mine comes back.

Maybe I am a little like a chameleon, but if I really were like one, then I think I would have had the same accent as my family when I was growing up.

I can't figure this out...  The pregnancy tests are 99% accurate, we have taken the test five times... what is the probability that we have received a false result five times?

My intuition is that every time you take the test, you have a 1% chance of receiving a false result... regardless of how many times you take the test.  Just like tossing the dice.  The previous toss has no bearing on the current toss.  But, I can't reconcile that in my brain.

Not if the pregnancy test fails to detect a pregancy for the same reason (e.g. the Hormone cannot be detected, or there is a false positive for another reason). Then it does not matter how many times you repeat the test, its still going to screw up. They are not independent events, im afraid.

If they were independent events, then the chance of getting five false positives would be (0.01)*(0.01)*(0.01)*(0.01)*(0.01) or something like a billion to one odds.

About the only way you would get five false positives is if Amy were taking HCG because of fertility treatments or something.

I doubt that you could have bought five outdated tests, and I think false negatives would be more likely in that case than false positives.

I have used a lot of home pregnancy tests and the current ones on the market are pretty accurate if you buy a reliable brand and use them as directed. 

Amy still will need to see a doctor, who will probably repeat the test and do some others as well, to figure out how far along she is and to start prenatal care, including prenatal vitamins.

When did her last period start?

I can't figure this out...  The pregnancy tests are 99% accurate, we have taken the test five times... what is the probability that we have received a false result five times?

My intuition is that every time you take the test, you have a 1% chance of receiving a false result... regardless of how many times you take the test.  Just like tossing the dice.  The previous toss has no bearing on the current toss.  But, I can't reconcile that in my brain.

I haven't taken any classes in this type of thing.

She is going to call a doctor tomorrow to schedule an appointment.  We went and bought a bottle of supplements today... based on the recommendations of the book we got today.  Folic acid mainly.

She had very irregular periods which is why her being late wasn't really an issue.  But, her last period started in the last week of April.  Which puts her due date at the very beginning of January 2009.

I'm sorry, Tesla, I was mistaken in what I said before.

You can get a false positive from using a test that has passed its expiration date.

I only ever got them from taking HCG shots as part of infertility treatment when I tested too soon, though.

Quote from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pregnancy_test

False positives

False positive test results may occur for several reasons. These include: errors of test application, use of drugs containing the assay molecule, and non-pregnant production of the assay molecule.

Spurious evaporation lines may appear on many home pregnancy tests if read after the suggested 3–5 minute window or reaction time, independent of an actual pregnancy. False positives may also appear on tests used past their expiration date.

A woman who has been given an hCG injection as part of infertility treatment will test positive on pregnancy tests that assay hCG, regardless of her actual pregnancy status. However, some infertility drugs (e.g., clomid) do not contain the hCG hormone.[13]

Some diseases of the liver, cancers, and other medical conditions may produce elevated hCG and thus cause a false positive pregnancy test. These include choriocarcinoma and other germ cell tumors, IgA deficiencies, heterophile antibodies, enterocystoplasties, gestational trophoblastic diseases (GTD), and gestational trophoblastic neoplasms (GTN). (See Human chorionic gonadotropin.)

Okay, here's another one (take your time):
When making homemade yogurt, why do you have to heat the milk to just below boiling, then cool it down to lukewarm (100 to 110 degrees)?  This makes no sense to me since the milk we all use is already pasteurized.

Milk is pasteurized to reduce the bacterial content to 0.00001 of the number of bacteria in unpasteurized milk.  If you wanted to make yogurt from raw milk, you would need to pasteurize it first by heating it to 161.5 degrees Fahrenheit and holding it at this temperature for at least 15 seconds.  Heating the milk to just below boiling changes the structure of the milk protein so that that it does not coagulate and make curds and whey instead of yogurt.  You have to cool it off to lukewarm before you inoculate it with the yogurt culture so you won't kill the bacteria.

Sorry, but the molecular diffusion question is difficult for me to get a good answer for.  Molecular diffusion of the chlorine bleach into still water in the water tank would happen very slowly and that is why stirring it is recommended.  Actually, if the water tank is subject to temperature fluctuations between day and night, you would get convection currents from the colder and warmer water and also if you use water from the tank and add water to the tank periodically, that would mix the water more quickly than molecular diffusion.  I don't know how to calculate these effects in closed form, and a computer model would require a lot more information. 

McJagger, I have a Master's degree in Chemical Engineering.

My first inclination is to suggest actually doing this experiment with radiolabled bleach.

Question:  I recently bought a Pur 3-stage water filter for our faucet.  It says it removes Chlorine (taste and odor)...  I can't figure out why it says the "(taste and odor)" part.  Does it just remove the taste and odor of chlorine, and not actually chlorine??

I just looked on their website and read the same thing.

http://www.purwaterfilters.com/info_pur_vert_fm.htm

I would think that their filter reduces the amount of chlorine in your water and reduces or removes the trihalomethanes which are a by-product of the chlorination of water.  They both would contribute to taste and odor.  For them to be able to say that their filter completely removes the chlorine could depend on how much chlorine there is in the unfiltered water.

I looked up your water quality report:

http://www.ci.apex.nc.us/docs/pw/WaterCCR.pdf

The chlorine levels are within EPA guidelines, 3.12 ppm, but this level would be greatly reduced by an activated carbon filter, which Pur has as Stage 2 of the three stages.

Here is an article discussing activated carbon filters and what they do and do not reduce or remove:

http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/pubs/h2oqual/watsys/ae1029w.htm

Just make sure you change the filter when you are supposed to, or it could become less effective.

I have a question for Callaway: My baby died yesterday, and of course I am still grieving, but how long should I wait before adopting a new cat? I have lots of love to give to a fluffy friend and so does my son. I was thinking that having a new cat to love might fill the empty hole that is in my heart. It might distract me from all the crying. I was thinking about adopting a young cat that has been abandoned so that we can turn my tragedy and his into some love.

It might distract me from all the crying. I was thinking about adopting a young cat that has been abandoned so that we can turn my tragedy and his into some love.

While I understand that the temptation after the death of a pet may be to run out and get another one right away and that people are often encouraged to do so by family and friends, and although it may sound like a good idea, I think that you should be careful about getting one too soon.  I think that you need to take some time to grieve first.

As you said, you lost a baby, a member of the family, and you need to come to terms with that loss before adopting a new member of the family.

How would you advise me if I just lost a baby?  I think that you would advise me to come to terms with my devastating loss before having or adopting another baby, wouldn't you?

This new cat deserves to be loved for himself or herself, not just as a replacement cat for the one that is gone.  He or she will need lots of energy and attention, which at some point you will be ready and able to give, but not now.  Your heart needs to heal first.

I think that you need to be especially careful about replacing the cat too soon because of your son.  You don't want to send a message to a child that says when something is lost all you have to do is buy another one, when in reality, that is often not the case.  It also devalues the significance of the cat who just died.

I don't think that there is a specific amount of time that needs to pass, but I think you will know when you and your son are both ready.  If there is any doubt at all, then wait a little longer.

Callaway, is your hand feeling any better?
Title: Re: Questions for Callaway
Post by: Callaway on June 22, 2008, 02:22:35 AM
Callaway, is your hand feeling any better?

Yes.  The bruising and swelling of the whole left hand have gone down, so the bruising and pain is pretty much concentrated in just the broken finger and the one next to it now.

Also, I usually "buddy tape" the broken finger to the one next to it rather than wear the splint I was given at urgent care, which seems to make my whole hand and wrist ache when I wear it, but it offers more protection to accidentally bumping the finger, so I still wear it sometimes.  "Buddy taping" lets me use my thumb and first two fingers better, so it's kind of a trade-off.

I have completely lost the wrinkles in the joints of my broken finger because of course I haven't bent it at all in two weeks, but it looks kind of strange to me.

I fell again a few days ago and badly skinned my left elbow, but luckily I did not re-injure my broken finger.

Thanks for asking.

I hope not.

I fell the first time because I was watching my daughter instead of the ground and there was a (IMO) poorly designed handicapped ramp.  It was wider at the bottom and it had a curb on the sides at the top and my foot caught on the curb and I tripped.

I fell the second time because my daughter ran toward a woman who was talking on a cell phone and I wanted to catch her before she reached the woman and physically attacked her, but I had to turn around and I tripped over my own clumsy feet.  I wonder if part of the reason I fell was because of my protectiveness toward my hurt finger, because I have chased and caught my daughter lots of times before she reached her target when she has done something like this before.

Anyway, I got up of the sidewalk and went and pried my daughter's fingers on her left hand out of the woman's hair and then the woman said to her very nicely, "Would you please let go of my necklace?"  Then I realized that she had also grabbed her necklace as well as her hair, so I told her to let go as I pried her right hand's fingers off the hair and the necklace.  I apologized to the woman, who said she understood because she works with special needs, then I wrestled my daughter to the car and made her get inside.

When I asked my daughter why she did it, she said the woman was talking on a cell phone and wearing a necklace, so why not annoy her?

She had grown her hair long enough to reach around to the back with braids on each side when she did this.

When my daughter cut her own hair I did something similar to what you did (I commiserated with her and told her that her hair would grow back) but I also put the scissors in the cabinet over the stove so she couldn't do it again and for a while she used the scissors only while she was supervised at home and we went over exactly what we were going to cut with them (paper) before she got her hands on them.

Of course, she got hold of another pair of scissors in preschool one day and quickly cut a chunk out of her hair before the teacher could stop her.

If you're "out there,"  then so am I, because that was one of my first thoughts.

It was really odd, because she has been trusted with scissors for a couple of years, now. It seems to me that it must  be related in some way, though, because she has been a spazcase ever since it happened.

Reduce your intake of leavened wheat products if you can; that should help prevent future occurrences. You reduce the yeast intake in your diet and you will itch and smell less around the crotch area-- as well as probably other areas like feet, etc.

I used to live on wheat-based products. Now that I have almost not wheat in my diet, I was actually quite surprised how little I itched, how little various body parts smelled anymore, hehe. And then for awhile I put it back in my diet, eating breads again, and the itching and odors came back.

Yes, the beer I'm sure isn't helping. Though if you eat a lot of leavened breads or other foods with higher yeast content, then they are undoubtedly adding to that.

There is a lot of yeast in beer, since brewer's yeast is used to make beer ferment, so your consumption of yeast containing products could be related, IMO.

If your smegma looks kind of like cottage cheese and smells kind of yeasty and you are very itchy, then it is probably yeast balanitis.

There are lots of different kinds of anti-fungal creams available OTC here for yeast infections, but I don't know what is available there.  If you can find some, just follow the package directions for frequency and duration of use, but immediately after cleaning the affected area, rub the anti-fungal cream all over the affected area, including under the foreskin, assuming you are not circumcised.

Bob is a new guy who seems interesting to me and I hated to see everyone pile on because of his (or her) obvious grudge against Sir Les.

At first I thought that Bob was Sir Les's ex in-law or something, but it would be interesting to hear Bob's story from Bob's point of view.

I see the Karma system as rewards for merit, or punishment for..something worth punishing. And yes, I do have some sort of right to boss you, and everyone else around. Doesn't mean they have the responsibility to listen to me. :P  Just as you did not, not that I expected you too.

Bob would be more interesting and less annoying if there were some actual substance to his/her grudge. But it's shallow and she/he takes it everywhere like some warped badge of honor. It's annoying. And you plused them for it...That was annoying. That is why I ghey'd you.

And you plussed them...because of 'pity'? Ok. Fair enough.

It just seemed like a bigger reaction over something that didn't appear to be all too important. Hence, the PMS comment. (And I put "appear" in italics because that's just my perception.)

Maybe it does seem much more important, but I mean, come on... must one start an argument over "Bob karma"?? Why does one wish to waste one's argumentative energies on piddley stuff when there are BIGGER battles to be had?  >:D :zoinks:

No, I have met nobody who is a member here.

I don't know, but I would guess that the honey absorbs water by osmosis from the bread's surface because of the high sugar content of honey and it makes the bread a bit crispy at the surface.

Where did you buy your Lightsaber?

My husband will be Darth Vader because my daughter bought him the helmet for Christmas a while back and I'm finally making him the robe/cape to go with it.

I got two things that I can twirl on my pigtailed hair to make the big doughnut buns, but my buns are not quite as big as hers were.  At least they cover my ears, though.

Our daughter will be an experiment from Lilo and Stitch.  She will look like a giant purple bat.  She chose this costume over a month ago and got me to go ahead and make it for her, saying that she would not change her mind and she hasn't.

My wife has always made their costumes, but this year we bought them from a Party Plus store.
My son has usually been a dinosaur or a dragon, but last year he wanted to be the Grim Reaper. When he was three, my wife made him into a Hershey's Kiss.:D
My daughter has always gone as some kind of Princess (Bee Princess, Ladybug Princess, Angel Princess, Fairy Princess and last year just a Princess). This year she's into bats. She doesn't know much, if anything, about Batman, but when she saw the Bat costume she had to have THAT ONE! Everything has wings though - oddly.

My perennial costume is that of a pirate and yes, I'll go with them in costume. It's an easy one, some flashy Hawaiian shirt, tied up (Hey, I have a little definition in my abs for the first time in many years!), some scarves tied here and there, headband, eyepatch, grab one of my swords, paint my face and some tattoos all over me arms, black out a couple of me teeth and I'm ready to go - Aaarrrrr.

I hope that you get your costume finished by tomorrow and that both of you post pictures of your costumes, because they sound great.

I have felt gas pains as referred pains in my shoulders and I have heard of people feeling gas pains as referred pains in their chest.

Other than that, I don't know where else you could feel them.  Where have you felt gas pains?

I have had what I guess you would call referred pains both in my chest and shoulder. Particularly scary in the left shoulder when it occurs at the same time as the chest pains. But no one I know had heard of this. I guess it must be rare.

The Tiroth costume is 1/3 done but I had some errands so now I have to rest. We hope to finish the Tiroth tonight and maybe start the Griff. Since I still have to wear a mask in public we are transforming one into a beak. The Tiroth is going to be quite furry.

I'd never heard of "referred pain" but I looked it up. Apparently it's when nerves get crossed in your spine and damage to internal organs is perceived as hurt in unrelated parts of the body.

I found an image mapping common regions of referred pain:

I hope that you get your costume finished by tomorrow and that both of you post pictures of your costumes, because they sound great.

We decided to do a shaman for Wolf instead of a griff.

Here are the pics....



Those are great costumes.  Thanks for sharing them.

These are the Leia and Darth Vader costumes I copied, but I did not have the blaster and my husband's costume did not have the shoulder armor or codpiece and his belt and boots were different:

Yes, she was born with a Ventricular Septal Defect and she had open heart surgery to fix it when she was three weeks old.  Some of the stitches from the surgery affected the natural pacemaker cells of her heart, so now her heart has a right bundle branch block, which changes the conduction pathway of her heart so it can be seen on an electrocardiogram.

The surgeon used a patch to fix the hole that was in her heart and it leaked for a while following the open heart surgery, but the leakage stopped as her own heart muscle cells covered the patch.  She has a metal clip in her heart that was used during her surgery to fix something called a Patent Ductus Arterosis, which is a way for the blood to bypass the lungs during fetal circulation.  It is supposed to close itself off after the baby is born, but it didn't in her case.  That clip shows up on X-ray and I don't know whether it prevents her being able to have an MRI if she ever needs one.  She also had a Patent Foramen Ovale, which is an opening between the atria, which another thing that the heart needs for fetal circulation but it's supposed to close after the baby is born but in her case it didn't.  They closed that with a stitch during her surgery and she has had no further issues from it.

She has other health issues, but these are the only ones dealing with her heart.

I will attach a couple of pictures so you can see what was wrong with her heart.  The first one shows the VSD and the second one shows the PDA.

I saw, creatine is for those concerned with integreity of their heart.  It helps the mind, and the belly bloats to! :laugh:  Just got to cut down if that happens, and not take all the time as your body could become dependent on it.  It would seem in her condition she would want to make her heart as fit as possible with exercise.  If she was me she might have a problem, but not many ingest large quantites of spicy herbs, because I am weird :laugh:  I am wonder about the body levels of certain things, like co enzyme q 10, in response to such a defect.  That could damage the heart durning high intensity exercise, but didn't bother me, and I took the water souble umbiqucareone or whatever, which 3x better absorbed than regular co enzyme q 10.  My heart rate is about 70beats a minute, maybe lower now, I did good thing, risky family.  Blood pressure should be below 120/80.

Round 2

25000 iu vitamin a  and or eat vegetables  Beta cartoene is essentially non toxic precursor of vitamin a use that.  Beta cartoene increases risk of lung cancer in smokers, just one of the many of the plants defenses.
b1 100-200mg   other b vitamin rich foods, just about everything.  Refined grains have significantly less, spir insulin, and the resultant cholesterol.
3-6grams niacin  can cause flusing, drink plenty of liquids.  Niacin lowers cholesterol
100mg b6 2x neutralizes homocysteine which precurses artery plaque
250-600mg of choline
2-3grams vitamin c
Pangamic acid +vitamin e improved shortness of breath with heart pains in two weeks for angina. Pangamic acid also helps increase tollerance for social situations.  Pangamic acid is a choline intermediate, and is vitamin b 15.  Seeds got it, but the seeds of some plants have cyanide.  Vitamin e is in nuts, and generally fatty foods, as its fatty souble protector of lipids.  Cucumber dildo is rich source of vitamin e, and sulfur for my gf.  Sure she will like my breath if I eat enough of them :wanker:
Papaya carpain for angina
 
I didn't forget the kitchen sink, and the fact that I copied most of this shit out of the book.  I can't deny it doesn't look familar to me, and I added my two cents from things I memorized from this book.

Callaway still hungry?

You can grind up tangerine peel can be ground up and added to food, or can make a tea with it like I been doing with onion skins.  Onion skins are tough, so I read it takes 20 or 30 minutes to extract a good portion of inflammation lowering quercitin.  Onion quercitin stays in the body longer than other sources.  I would think 20 or 30 minutes is good for tangerine peel to.

Cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon=1 gram, and I recommend 1-5grams
Ginger is good for heart, its in my avitar.
Cholorphyll can directly assist the heart's beating, that is probably why alfalfa and parsley were recommended.  Cholorphyll contains magnesium, so does beans and nuts.  Chocolate craving can  be a sign of magnesium deficency, as many americas are deficent.  That is because they don't eat those foods, or enough vegetables.  They eat refined grains, also less magnesium.

For everyone to hear:
8 all isomers of vita e must be taken, as each one does something different.  One may help prevent free radicals, and another may stop the ones that already happened.  The tocotrinerols are rare in nature, and more potent than the tocopherols in antioxidant protection.  gamma, beta, alpa, as well as delta tocopherol must be used.  Gamma specifically is good for the prostate.

EFA for the heart.   You don't eat any free range fish or meat, and your likely to be deficent in omega 3 fats, unless you eat algae.  Eating 20 grams or more of spirulina exceeds the EPA's safe upper limit on mercury.  Conversion from plant form rarely takes place, how rare?  90% of the precursors are typically burned off before being converted to the form humans need.   You need benefical bacteria to help with that process, further compounding the problem.  Benefical, probiotics, that Callaway's daughter already takes, stimulate bile production from the liver, reducing cholesterol and aiding the emulsification of fats for the lipase enzyme to attack.  Bacteria where once part of our diet, but pesticides kill them off, perhaps you shoud take one daily.  It was in small amount of dirt we picked up on our vegetables, that we would get the same organsims that plants use to help them get nutrition from the soil.

Quality vitamin e protection requires supplement, as its not particularly high in food.  You can guzzle lots of oil and get fat if you want :laugh:  Make sure to choose hydrongenated ones, rich in trans fat, mess up your lipid profile, even lower protective high density lipoproteins. :laugh:

Bee pollen 3grams alfalfa tablets 10-30 grams spirulina 3-15 grams <can be used to help infants gain weight due to nutritive properties  its low in calories> as recommended by america heart association as much of seafood is contaminated with mecury encentric fish oil capsules are absorbed better being released only in intestine general cardiohealth .5grams epa and or dha known coronary artery diease 1 gram elevated triglycerides 2-4grams rheumatoid arthritis 2 or more grams brain health .5 grams depression 1gram epa appears more effective i take 2.4 grams these doses arent total amount of fish oil conversion of precusors is a delicate process with insulin they turn proinflammatory archadonic acid found in eggs red meat we need insulin just not too much and same for inflammation same holds true for omega 6 precursors if you eat alot junk you wont be able to turn fats into what you need instead it can turn inflammatory. monounsaturated fats are nuetral with regards to insulin, but polyunsaturated omega 3 and 6 arent. 
Spirulina is on there for its cholorphyll, 1% by weight.  Chlorrela or whatever, another algae is the riches source discovered, yet it has a tough cells wall require special processing, as does bee pollen.  Just simply grinding it up into a powder does help, as it reduces digestive time by 50%.  Its till pretty tough to get its riches.  Spirulina is much easier to digest, even easier than soy or meat protein.

Thanks for taking the time to compile all that advice, Randy.  My daughter is 12.  The doctor never expressed a concern with her heart rate, so I think it must be within the normal range for her age.  She likes pasta a lot and she eats very little meat although she will eat egg whites and seafood, but otherwise she eats a pretty well-balanced diet.  She's allergic to corn.  She actually does eat a form of algae, since she likes sushi.  She takes a probiotic, a multivitamin and a calcium supplement.  I used to give her fish oil capsules; maybe we could give them another try.  She loves tangerines, but they are getting very hard to find this time of year.

Yes and if you eat sea vegetables, you have no need for any table salt or salt subsititue.  They can use sea water dialysis, as its mineral and general composition is similar to human blood.  Corn is not a common allergy, I was told is a natural detoxifier.  I saw some suishi myself one time, I couldn't eat it because of the wheat.  I also saw some other things I didn't like about it.  I should make my own, every ingredient healthy.  I think its the bioflavonoids they were looking for in regards to tangerines.  That is pretty common, especially vitamin c rich foods, as it helps vitamin c's action.  I know that orangers are a  source of co  enzyme q 10, as are tabacco leaves :laugh: I herd children don't like much meat because of the texture, its good, in small quantites.  I just saw a study recently, vitamin d at a dose of 2000 ius didn't cause toxicity symptoms in children.

It is a bit difficult.  For example, if we took her to a McDonald's for breakfast, there is corn in their hash browns and their pancakes, so she can have a biscuit or a cinnamon roll.  Burger King has a macaroni and cheese kid's meal with fresh apple "fries" so that's usually what she wants if we get fast food for lunch or dinner.  If she wants potato chips, then we have to find out what kind of oil the potato chips she eats were fried in, since corn oil causes a problem for her.  Many pizza places use corn meal to keep the dough from sticking, but if we ask, the pizza place that is close to us will clean the area of corn meal and use wheat flour instead.

Luckily, we have not had to worry yet what the meat she eats has been fed, but she doesn't eat very much meat at all anyway.

Good luck with the test, then.

Over here, there are the TEE (Tertiary Entrance Examinations) which are done in high school. Or one could go to TAFE (Technical And Further Education) which is like college to get enough scores/points to get into uni.. There is also the STAT (Special Tertiary Admissions Test) which I could have done for mature age entry but didn't because I saw an example of it and it looked really difficult.

I'm not really too particular about it.  I have even eaten a little unsweetened baking chocolate before when I have had a strong chocolate craving.  I like Hershey's Special Dark as well as Lindt 70%.  I like Lindt 85% as well, but 99% is a little intense.

I don't need a permit to buy a gun in Colorado if I intend to merely keep it in my own home for self defense.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_the_United_States_(by_state)#Colorado

If I wanted a concealed carry permit, then I would need to show a certificate showing that I completed a handgun training class and I would have to pass a CBI background investigation, which includes criteria like I'm not under a restraining order, I'm not an alcoholic or illegal drug user, I have never been committed to a mental institution, I'm not a criminal, etc.

There are at least two options for the class I could take to meet these requirements, a three-and-a-half hour class for people who are already familiar with shooting, or a ten hour class that includes live fire instruction.

3½ hour to get a RTC. In Sweden there is no right to carry at all and it takes six months to get a permit to keep a fucking .22 calibre pistol in your home and you need to stay in the shooting club and visit it regularly to keep the license. A gun for self-defense is out of question except for maybe a dozen persons a year and it needs at least something that you quit from the Hells Angels and has a secret identity. Anyone can't apply for it. The Brits have no right to even own pistols at all. Fucking Europe.  :grrr:

Handguns are a nice option for concealed carrying, but for home defense, I insist that the most effective and safe weapon is a pump action, sawed off shotgun. The first round goes into the ceiling if it's nighttime to find, identify and confirm your target, then once you're sure that your house has been invaded by a stranger, you can easily take out two targets, before you move to another location. Move quickly, because if they shoot back they will shoot in the direction of your muzzle flash. No problem, if you moved quickly enough, because the following muzzle flash from the intruder's gun that you missed will mark the placement of your next shot. Then move again.

basic home defense ...

Wrong, PlayStation!

An intruder at night has the upper hand, most often. The first shot is mainly to safeguard your family, by confirming your target BEFORE you kill. If you have a better way to flash the room with light and respond quickly, then do so. I would much rather shoot a hole in the ceiling, unnecessarily, than to accidentally shoot a family member or a drunken neighbor who crawled through the wrong window, for instance.
Obviously, if you can clearly see your target, there is no need to flash the room.

Accordingly, at night, the chances of committing a wrong-kill in the dark with the intention of protecting your home are about fifty:fifty. So your first shot is also to protect yourself and ensure a good shooting.

It doesn't really work with a handgun muzzle flash, unless you're shooting a magnum and in that case shooting through your ceiling is a very bad idea. Use a shotgun.

I prefer to use a momentary on flashlight and move, both to identify a target and to not fire unless necessary. Many of the newer lights available can nail a burglars eyes good and render him blind. Also I would be concerned about the police or DAs office deciding that shots into the ceiling could be construed as being careless or trigger happy. Also coming around a corner with a shotgun muzzle out can give them something to grab or be held so it couldn't be grabbed but might not be brought to bear on the target either. When mentioning short shotguns the NFA mandates a minimum barrel length of 18" and a minimum overall length of 26", to go any shorter legally requires paying the NFA $200 tax or the AOW $5 tax for something purpose built as a short barreled shotgun, either one of which requires giving prints to the BATFE and either assigning the weapon to a corporation or having the local Chief of Police or Sheriff (in unincorporated areas) sign off on it. Because of the potential problems in bringing a long gun around corners I prefer to use a .45 held in the Taylor low ready position. If the forward arm is grabbed jamming the muzzle into their chest/abdominal region and shooting will give them a worse wound because of the propellant gases following the bullet into the body. If you have an NFA license then obviously using a really short shotgun won't cause the legal heartburn that an illegal one would. Also if the plan is to hunker down in a particular room with the gun pointed at the entrance then a 12 gauge shotgun is obviously better than any pistol.

My dad had a twelve gauge shotgun and a rifle, but I think he usually grabbed his shotgun if he needed to defend us.

I remember one time when I heard a Peeping Tom outside and another time when someone came into our back yard and stole the outboard motor off my dad's boat.

Both times he grabbed his shotgun and ran outside to confront them.

The Peeping Tom ran away and I saw him from my parent's bedroom window as he ran under the street light and my dad told the person who he caught in our back yard with the outboard motor in his hands, "You have stolen more than you can carry and outrun my double-ought buck shot," then the man threw down the motor and ran away.

None were burned.  Nineteen were hanged and one man who simply refused to enter a plea was pressed to death by piling heavy stones on a board that was on his chest.

More people were convicted of being witches, but they were never executed, some of them because they were pregnant and the executions were stayed until after they had given birth and some either died while being held in jail or else the sentence was never carried out because the witch hysteria finally ended.

Martha Pennoyer Crowe was one of those hanged, and she was a great aunt, several times removed, of mine. Her husband Giles was a ballsy man and no relation of mine. When I first read of all of that stuff in 6th grade I had no idea of the relation to her. Years later I helped my Grandmother (who died last June) do research on the family in the Mormon Genealogical Library 1990 or 91 and found out. She mentioned that in her book and mistakenly wrote that Goody Crowe had been burned. She was a well educated woman, but these legends stick real well.

Damned lucky Yanks.  :-\ All I want is this. I just don't know where to buy it. That guy who killed the cop last year had an illegal gun and it was even more powerful than a 9 mm. I think it was a .44. Many Swedes sell their legal guns but are too cowardly to sell them illegally. Otherwise it'd be a piece of cake to remove the serial number and/or claim that it had been stolen. Though for the latter you'd have to fake a burglary.

It's NOT luck, Tig.

It's generations of fighting against the powers that would have us succumb to their ways. Not just a few token ones of us either, but very large numbers of us who have taken personal responsibility for our own well being and security. Once we roll back the fascist Homeland Security procedures, we will be once again able to be free in our lands. It will become more important that we sleep lightly in the future, but we can STILL do that.

Yes, we have been invaded by eurotrash types, demanding that we become another Euro state, but they are only noisy, not resourceful.
Many of us up standing, law abiding "Yanks" would consider those types to be treasonous in their pursuits.

No fucking way and you have just hit upon the reason (which you have questioned, recently) I offered you a small handgun gun as a citizenship gift. It was meant to show you that that one right is NOT as important to us as you make it out to be from your northern peninsular Euro-perspective. It is Secondary, even in name, because the others are also important and a true American knows these without even having to think about them, like to pass a test. These are things ingrained in the nature of a free people.

The second Amendment is important, but it is One of Ten of the MOST important understandings that must be lived in order to begin to conceive of Freedom, BEFORE you can become an American citizen. (in fact, notice that three of them have been "repeated"  in later amendments, :D) In addition (have you even looked at what is required of you, as a foreign national, to be granted US citizenship, FFS?), there are other applicable "laws" you will be expected to understand (OK, now a racist comment, "unless you're a Mexican,"  but the reason there are so many illegals from south of the border is NOT for this reason, damn it! Why can't the Californians, Arizonans, New Mexicans and the Texans see this. It is the lax enforcement of border security, NOT immigration laws that has allowed the increase of the illegal populace to reach huge numbers, and certainly not the relaxing of the requirements for citizenship!!      .......       otherwise they would all be citizens by now, wouldn't they?).

Wow, ah, looking on the bright side, I would take the peeping tom as a complement.  However, I don't endorse such behavior.  Simple cure to all problems, take care of yourself.  My dad had a shotgun to at one time.  I couldn't kill a man myself, unless their were circumstances.  I could see such a thing a s good in someways, avoids confrontation.  He runs but doesn't sustain any injuries. :)   I would like to see weapons replaced with on lethal ones.  There are advantages that to the negative side I will state.  They stay alive to learn more lessons, and its like think about what they did when they get an injury.  Its like a slow and painful death, like I did to the centipede. >:D  I didn't feel sorry then, I don't know why.  Perhaps its part of a disablity of some kind,  I will entertain that

Did you see that? and guess who has the keys? :laugh:   If you want me to let you out, then you must behave.   First thing, respect me by saying please and thankyou.  That is your end of the contract, (straight one and not in a bixsexual way) and my end is to take care of myself so I can make your dreams a reality.

Is that a good deal?  You have my word.

Maybe I should make a contract of some kind, and sign it over death.  I wouldn't do that for real.

Damned lucky Yanks.  :-\ All I want is this. I just don't know where to buy it. That guy who killed the cop last year had an illegal gun and it was even more powerful than a 9 mm. I think it was a .44. Many Swedes sell their legal guns but are too cowardly to sell them illegally. Otherwise it'd be a piece of cake to remove the serial number and/or claim that it had been stolen. Though for the latter you'd have to fake a burglary.
Here in the states TheoK, the local DA may choose to let a stolen gun case slide but will rarely let it slide if the serial #s have been obliterated or altered. In fact it is not uncommon for the BATFE to get involved in cases involving altered/defaced serial #s. Years ago I was offered a Colt Python for two hundred dollars by my younger sisters ex husband who had a cock and bull story about why it was so cheap. I just told him the going rate should be $550 or better and passed. I would like to have a Python, but not someone elses.

DirtDawg makes some good points about the other Amendments in the Bill of Rights in his post. The War on Drugs was used to justify "Civil Forfeitures" which allows the Government to seize property and retain it and put the onus of proving the property is not the fruit of illegal activities on the person it was taken from. This is a violation of the "nor be deprived of life, liberty or property" clause of the 5th Amendment with the stated intent to prevent them from hiring the best attorney they can find which is a violation of the 6th Amendment. The bastards in the Legistlature passed the McCain Feingold Act, which is a clear violation of the 1st Amendment and in" Kelo versus the City of New London" the Supreme Court fucked over the 5th Amendment, which does allow for eminent domain for Public Works type projects, to pervert eminent domain to allow seizure for Private developments. And it violates the prohibition on Writs of Attainder in Article 1 section 9, which is a limit on Congress but they screwed the principle of Separation of Powers in doing so as well. Unfortunately there are too many people here in the US not paying attention to what is going on and don't know the Constitution in any case.

I think Europeans supporting the 2nd Amendment to 100% should get a US citizenship in reward. Those opposing it should be expelled to Russia or something.

No fucking way and you have just hit upon the reason (which you have questioned, recently) I offered you a small handgun gun as a citizenship gift. It was meant to show you that that one right is NOT as important to us as you make it out to be from your northern peninsular Euro-perspective. It is Secondary, even in name, because the others are also important and a true American knows these without even having to think about them, like to pass a test. These are things ingrained in the nature of a free people.

The second Amendment is important, but it is One of Ten of the MOST important understandings that must be lived in order to begin to conceive of Freedom, BEFORE you can become an American citizen. (in fact, notice that three of them have been "repeated"  in later amendments, :D) In addition (have you even looked at what is required of you, as a foreign national, to be granted US citizenship, FFS?), there are other applicable "laws" you will be expected to understand (OK, now a racist comment, "unless you're a Mexican,"  but the reason there are so many illegals from south of the border is NOT for this reason, damn it! Why can't the Californians, Arizonans, New Mexicans and the Texans see this. It is the lax enforcement of border security, NOT immigration laws that has allowed the increase of the illegal populace to reach huge numbers, and certainly not the relaxing of the requirements for citizenship!!      .......       otherwise they would all be citizens by now, wouldn't they?).

I know most of the Amendments and have them in a book about American history that my brother used when he studied in the USA. Nowadays most of those Amendments exist in European constitutions in one form or another, but the 2nd Amendment has never been in a European constitution. There was never a right to bear arms in Europe, only a lack of laws against it. There was never a right to own and carry a weapon in Sweden but before 1927 there were no restrictions on it either.

The punishment for illegal possession of a gun would be the same in Sweden no matter if the serial number would be removed or not, usually 6 months (in reality 4) in jail.

I know the Constitution is being violated, but my point is that as long as most of you have guns, you can start a civil war if it goes too far. That's almost impossible in Europe already.

Yes, but don't fall for it. Remember that those movies were made more to entertain than to recount historically significant aspects of western life.

I agree, voting is dull and it takes too long, but thinking that a few determined citizens offing themselves at the hands of superior government-backed forces can make the kind of changes we need is what's really sad, my friend.

They were orange flavored baby aspirins in a childproof bottle, but I knew how to open childproof caps.  I had to go to the hospital, but I don't remember much of what was done for me there other than an IV because I was so young.

I got tinnitus (ringing in your ears) from the aspirin overdose and this tinnitus never went away for me.

Yes, I got along well with my family members, all of whom are dead now except for one brother.

Find a compound that responds differently to heat and cold exchange first.
What element or compound can absorb as much heat or release/store as much heat as water?
Water is the one, which does not follow the periodic table of elements and remain predictable from what the other element's properties might predict.

Look again at the tables.


Figure out which other compound might weigh more than it should, might freeze at too low a temperature, might boil at too high a temperature.

TYou will h then have your other life "water."

Water is unique, as far as we know.







It has a very wide range from solid to liquid to to gas, compared to some others.

methane?

Dude, I have given this shit some thought. I am yet to be convinced that you have.  It's NOT so much about liquid or solid as it is about heat exchange and heat tolerance before physical change.

Your're US based right?     ... so I'll use Fahrenheit for temperature examples.

Methane turns from solid ice to a liquid at -297 degrees Farhenheit (yeah, I googled to get teh specifics) then remains in a liquid state for a mere few degrees. it turns to a gas, which means it boils like a mother fucker at -259 degrees Fahrenheit. That gives us thirty eight degrees of "bandwidth" to play with in our creation of life scenaroiio and all the width of life forces must occur or work within, a few degrees differencial.


If you look at water, it bis totally solid at any temperature below thirty two degrees Fahrenheit (OK, that's a lot higher and implies more movement/energy at the atomic level as well, but that's a different discussion, isn't it?) and yet it turns to liquid at that temperature plus one degree. At thirty three degrees fahrenhet it is a liquid, but  - BUTT  it remains in a liquid state, absorbing huge amounts of energy - more than seems possible (for god is water - HaHaa) until it reaches a temperature of two hundred twelve degrees Fahrenheit. There is a "breathing zone of "  one hundred eighty degrees.  No other compound, aside from a few metals, can claim such a wide range between liquid and gas, most especially when you compare the energies involved.
Those metals hardly take on any energy without changing drastically (look at the changes which metals suffer with wide spreads between temperatures on a constant basis.). Look how much energy water can take on and hardly change at all.   Dont't forget that water is the one and only compound which is larger, bigger, takes up more space -  (reduces its specific gravity - duh) as a solid, than when it is liquid.(you hadn't thought of how unique and important this property is in the workings of nature, have you. Ever seen a hillside collapse because it got wet, then cold, then thawed?   Water is different, dude!!!) (look at the effectsa this has upon the environment ... or not. Maybe think of the difference in "size") between methane as a liquid and methane as a solid (... well before you take into account the energies involved, that is) Methane may support llife, but it will be a "shalllow" life, only possible within a very narrow range of possibilities.

Water has proven to support a massively varied range of life. Water, on the other hand is much wider/forgivable in its likelihoood to supposrt any  life that we might be albe to recognize.

Heavy carbons ... what ever!

Look again.
You can learn from tables of simple data, if you are open. (You're right - I'm drunk, but I can do this again when i am sober and you mat learn something - something Holy, as the Indians say.)

Find me a compound with similar properties to water (I will talk about carbon, if you insist that you are ready - for Carbon is  is far more intriguing -  it has the capaapbility to be one thing at one pressure and a totally different thing, all atomic particles accounted, d for (that is) at another pressure. I'm not talking about JUST diamonds and coal, but ALL the various carbon compounds - carbon can be a true bitch ... if you watch her. Fuck! There is a lot to this stuff.!! Is there another who sees any of this?) and we will talk of alternate life possibilities when I am sober.

Do you think that liquid water is a requirement for planet life? Or do you agree that life could possibly exist off something like cyanide on another planet?

I have seen enough extremophiles on Earth to know that some forms of life can thrive under very extreme conditions.

However I also think that some sort of simple compound composed of atoms with small atomic numbers (less than or equal to the atomic number of iron) that is a liquid at the temperature of the planet will be necessary for complex life.  You would need a liquid because it flows and it has the necessary cohesiveness.  I am not saying that this liquid would necessarily have to be water, however water has several unique or unusual properties that make it a good candidate.

For example, as DirtDawg pointed out, water is liquid over a fairly large range of temperatures.

Water also has the almost unique property that the solid form is less dense than the liquid form, so ice floats.

Triste was never ostracized here for any reason.

You may not have noticed yet, but moving particular threads to some "right" forum is not something we are really concerned with here unless the member who started the thread wants it moved.

However, even if we were, this thread is in the forum called "What's your crime? Basic Discussion" which says, "Feel free to talk about anything and everything in this board," so IMO, this should be the "right" forum for any general thread anyone wanted to start here, such as this one or one called, "What did you eat today?".

This thread is not in the Ask Away threads child board because Triste started it here to ask me a technical question and also there are some personal questions I will not answer, so this is not really an Ask Away thread.

This thread is not in the Ask Away threads child board because Triste started it here to ask me a technical question and also there are some personal questions I will not answer, so this is not really an Ask Away thread.

About what?

I read books about all kinds of things, too many to list.



 :lol:

I would feel really shitty to post constantly about the books I read. I also doubt that anyone would believe the sheer number or the diversity of what I read on a daily basis or the fact that I usually have five or six going at once.   Most certainly not when you consider the PDD/ADHD/DSI/(half - can't be diagnosed - doc says I'm too good at compensating at my age - the rest is a cinch)Dyslexic spaz case who almost never turns off his music, finds it difficult to make two thoughts meet sometimes, manages two children in the evening, cooks, exercises, spends a couple of hours per day on a forum, visits the library every couple of days (oops, BUSTED!).

 :hahaha:

I can't imagine where I would be without my books!!

Do you have a favorite?

I have a lot of favorites, so it's difficult to choose one.

I like my Oxford English Dictionary, my PDR for prescription medications, and my PDR for herbs but I also like my set of Harry Potter books, my gardening books, my cookbooks, my auto repair and appliance repair books, as well as many other books, too many to list.

I have read probably thousands of books.

Lucky.  I find myself lucky in otherways.  Even though I am having problems,  I keep going, and putting on a great show.  I don't know many people who would be working so hard with such conditions.  Stupid house, so cold.  I have learned very well, about not responding to these circumstances, about how you have nothing, entirely,  when you give up.   I have to have something, some power.  When you have worked as hard as I have been, it tends to make the impression of having this one thing.  I wouldn't trade anything for my work. Once again, nice libary.  My theasurus is missing, and so is one of my dictionaries.  Its not much fun without a wife, but its very nice.  Complete for a wanker, but not for me.  I don't wank no more,. :laugh:  Never mind what I am thinking now :laugh:

I think you should learn about the use of a weapon as part of your martial arts training, just one,  If I was you, it would feel complete to me.  What do you think about that?

Here is a definition of Passive-Aggressive Personality Disorder:

http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2453/what-is-passive-aggressive

Quote
The term "passive-aggressive" was introduced in a 1945 U.S. War Department technical bulletin, describing soldiers who weren't openly insubordinate but shirked duty through procrastination, willful incompetence, and so on. If you've ever served in the military during wartime, though, or for that matter read Catch-22, you realize that what the brass calls a personality disorder a grunt might call a rational strategy to avoid getting killed.

After the war the term found its way into civilian psychiatric practice and for many years was listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, the bible of the mental health trade. According to the revised third edition (DSM-III-R, 1987), someone had PAPD if he displayed five or more of the following behaviors: (1) procrastinates, (2) sulks or argues when asked to do something he doesn't want to do, (3) works inefficiently on unwanted tasks, (4) complains without justification of unreasonable demands, (5) "forgets" obligations, (6) believes he is doing a much better job than others think, (7) resents useful suggestions, (8) fails to do his share, or (9) unreasonably criticizes authority figures....Recognizing that the definition as then formulated wasn't working but uncertain how to fix it, the compilers of DSM-IV (1994) dumped PAPD from the list of official disorders and relegated it to an appendix....


The only person who I like and who I would describe as passive-aggressive is not a member here.

Nah, just supporting Callaway's statement about how impractical it would be to post our book lists and a light reference a few other things we do that never deserve a mention.
Any time I talk about being bored (I'm not really one of the culprits, really, in case you had not noticed), just tell me I'm full of shit!
I barely post in the music thread I started and I have not posted much in my fractal threads lately, either. However, I almost always listen to music and I create about a hundred or more fractal images each day. I also eat every day, but I only post in that thread about once a week or so. I have not mentioned but once the new (combined theories!) subwoofer enclosure I have designed, done most of the cuts and prefit the parts a half dozen times, which is almost ready to assemble for a trial run.

Meh, call it what you like.  I haven't even scratched the surface of my interests.

Mostly being a bitch, but RageBL's online persona is (IMO) very much that of a "male pig"- to the point where I'm really not sure if he's trolling, or if that's actually his real personality.

[I feel the need to add this- before you (Pyraxis) or RageBL demands an explanation for that, I'm not going to bother trying to define or argue about it because I don't see it being very productive; the impression is solid enough with me that picking it apart will only be a mutual exercise in frustration.]

He doesn't seem nearly as piggish as another mcmember who no longer graces us with his presence, much. I am in love with that one in a very gheycourious way, but Rage is the subject dejour. He (RAGE) seems mostly like one, prescribably individual, strong male-like, possibly not gay (OK - debatable ... different post, though) just starting out, inexperienced, grasping at any feeling, needing to be seen, tail feather grower, who has already tried to preen out a few mistakes from his display, but he keeps up the dance, because he is a strong boy/pavoniously ostentatious, male-ish humper/jumper/bumper, capable of much ground stomping, snorting, headbutting, piss spraying, hackle stretching, leg lifting and yet, before he was even ready, he made it  known that his spraying was indeed meant to be refreshed if needed and there was no ground he was not willing to stomp and his display will look its best, tomorrow.

He's a guy - a regular guy. You fucking love us! You can't even help it.

NOoooo, no booze  (pretty sexy though) - mostly straight right then, save for some coffee to calm down a bit after an overstimulating day of having to absorb several layers of praise smeared on me like lubricant applied to some secret place which is not prepared to accept natural entry, while I was at work.
I will most likely refrain from alcohol consumption for a while, after going so far overboard with it a few days ago. I was out of control and I really don't like that.

He (RAGE) seems mostly like one, prescribably individual, strong male-like, possibly not gay (OK - debatable ... different post, though) just starting out, inexperienced, grasping at any feeling, needing to be seen, tail feather grower, who has already tried to preen out a few mistakes from his display, but he keeps up the dance, because he is a strong boy/pavoniously ostentatious, male-ish humper/jumper/bumper, capable of much ground stomping, snorting, headbutting, piss spraying, hackle stretching, leg lifting and yet, before he was even ready, he made it  known that his spraying was indeed meant to be refreshed if needed and there was no ground he was not willing to stomp and his display will look its best, tomorrow.

He's a guy - a regular guy. You fucking love us! You can't even help it.

Rock ON, Rage!!

Thanks dude. Its true. I'm just a guy who's run into some serious buisiness a few times a bit too early. No big deal.

My daughter once told a man in line in front of us at the Kroger store who said, " (something, something) ... shit ... ( and then more shit)."

"Excuse me sir, but you just had a word in your mouth that I would not even want to step in with my shoes on."

He looked at her, then my deeply furrowed brow, half snarling face with some challenge. I smiled, pointed to her and stepped in front of her and said, "... out of the mouths of babes comes wisdom. That was funny! You have to admit."   He softened and said that yeah it was kind of funny. He was with his twelve-ish year old son and I looked at his son and told him that I've told my daughter NOT to use that word in public. He looked puzzled, then laughed. I doubt that his son ever had a chance to know that some words are different from others.

My spaz daughter fucking rocks. She says whatever the fuck she feels like saying. I have become inhibited in my time, but she should be my queen.

I can understand though when it would bother you, because you might have been "programmed" for it to. My attitude makes that kind of impossible, and my self esteem I think.  Harsh life makes a liberal, not loosing care of somethings, experiencing new "realms of stimulation"  that lead to new roads of life.

This wasn't spelled out for me in my psychology book, exactly, especially the last one.  Statements like the last one tend to come about under hyperventilation.

What do you think might have been the consequences if you let your daughter swear when she was born?  Do you think she is going to bother someone else by accident, if she doesn't practice at home, because she would be child, immature?

Its kind of funny though,  I thought it pointless for a long time, and when taking the first statment about the child might accidently set someone else off, and how I am with impulse controll now these days.   I take it with it my first word, cake.  I am not trying to attack anyone,  just few dozen millon thoughts coming about from the increased oxygen intake through the supplement and hyperventilation.   The ramifications appear to be tremendous.  I just thought it was important to share them that is all.

You may forget that words have meanings, even yours.

Some words have private meanings, some words are acceptable anywhere.

It becomes important to know which ones are not appropriate in certain circumstances, once we venture out into the public.


I was once standing in-line at a buffet lunch when the (might have been aspie) hot-assed girl I was with began talking, rather loudly, about me coming down her throat and how much she enjoyed it and how she wished she had more of my come and whioch foods I should should eat to make more come. She began talking about the protein she was taking from me and how she wished I could just "pump her full of my protein." 

Several people lost their will to stand in line near us and left. She was not aware even that her voice had echoed off the far wall, distracted many patrons from their meal, much less that the topic was a private one. I treid to get her to lower her voice, and smiled at all those who were shooting me with faces of disgust.

She was not aware of her surroundings. Other people do not want to hear this kind of stuff while standing in line to eat..




(Oh yes, I fucked her a BUNCH more times, but she never had any regard for her surroundings or how inappropriate her words may have been to the circumstance.)

I understand that, Brenda, but I find the whole thing pointless.  Everyone needs to not care so much, care more about other things.  I focus my my attention to my lifestyle habits, then the need to quote on quote "swear" is less in general, even if I find the whole thing pointless.  Not being able to swear forces us to find out outlets for the swears, ie lifestyle habits, and is perhaps the real reason why they aren't supposed to swear in the first place.  So this shows me something about the increased oxygen levels,  I note increased thinking "outside the box."

Yes, she is allergic to corn protein, which means that she can't eat corn or popcorn, but corn sweeteners seem to be OK for her.

She gets really bad eczema if she accidentally eats corn, but if I know it happened then I can give her Benadryl so it won't be such a bad reaction.
Title: Re: Questions for Callaway
Post by: ALLDAYGLOWRANDY on February 23, 2009, 11:42:37 AM
Eczema sounds like an inflammtory response provoked by a reaction from mast cells.
I won't even touch wheat starch myself.  Wheat starch, I noticed, makes chips taste better, when I was eatting them a long time ago.

The purification of starch over the protein is not a perfect one, so I would say she is lucky.  So she may be able to handle a minute amount, just like I can.  If it says the package just touched wheat,  I usually won't bother me.

You said you were indian, right?  Allergy to corn might be a corrective thing in a way, because of your ancestors eatting too much corn, and having 2.2 times the suicide rate of americans who are already depressed.  I am not trying to say anything bad about you, or them.  Sometimes people don't have much of a choice.  Ignorance can make some tasks harder to.  There is a virus with similar proteins to wheat gluten to, might be something like that.

The whole thing with belts is concern over a suicide issue. The funniest story I ever heard around that was when Arlo Guthrie got arrested for littering (documented in the song 'Alice's Resturant') and was asked by "Officer Obie" to give up his belt. Arlo responded, "Do you really think I'm going to hang myself over a littering charge?" To which Ofc. Obie (in character) responded, "Shut up, kid>"

Which reminds me of my favorite exchange from a Damon Runyan story:

"Why, Daddy?" I asked.
"Shut up," Daddy said.

how does the oxidizing agent in oxi-clean work? what molecules are formed and which ones broken down? are carbon based molecules more suceptible to breakdown?
actually i guess things like iron are more susceptible. but i really want to know about carbon because oxi clean works so well on organic stuff.

Oxi-Clean has sodium percarbonate in it.  This releases hydrogen peroxide when it's dissolved in water.  Hydrogen peroxide is a stong oxidizer, which breaks down organic stains. 

It works much better on organic stains than on iron stains.  If you need to clean rust stains, you're better off using hydrofluoric acid cleaners but you need wear rubber gloves and rinse it out quickly after the stain is removed.

I don't know.

I think it would depend on who it was, what they told you to do, and how they told you.

If it was your boss interrupting your non-work-related conversation at the water cooler, telling you to take on a project, then I would say you should definitely acknowledge him/her.

If it were your child interrupting your conversation with an adult by asking you for the eleventh time to give her a cookie when you have already told her ten times, "No cookies before dinner," then I would say it might be best to ignore her.

What if it is the 'ol ball and chain? I actually do this for everyone. It's not that I don't listen and note what is being asked of me, but I am not one to waste energy and whatnot on acknowledgement, etc. It really drives my kids crazy, because I cannot get them to realize that I am listening even though I didn't say, "What?" when they said "Daddy! Daddy!" I can't get them to realize people don't have to be looking at you to listen either. I guess this is somewhat of an Aspie thing, but the way the 'ol ball and chain handles it is to scream and yell and call me names. If I didn't pay attention and eventually do what was asked of me then I could sort of understand, but that is not the case.

I think that you are supposed to acknowledge the children when they are asking for something appropriately, otherwise your lack of response will encourage them to resort to inappropriate behavior to get your attention and their mom is modeling inappropriate behavior for them, unfortunately.  Even if the answer is "No," or "No cookies before dinner," or "OK, but in a few minutes," they still need to hear it.

I think that you and the kids will have a happier life at home if you also acknowledge it when your wife talks to you, just so at least she knows you heard her, even if the answer is "No."

I've got the opposite problem, Trig. I'll be staring at the computer screen, and one of the kids will speak to me, and I'll go, "Yeah, yeah, sure, fine, whatever. Now get outta here," and then later I'll learn that I've agreed to, say, let half-a-dozen teenage boys sleep over for the weekend at our house. Maybe I should change my script? "Absolutely not! Out of the question!" or maybe, "Go see what your dad has to say." :evillaugh:

How NT is the rest of your family? Maybe they're not picking up on the non-verbal cues you are sending out. Perhaps you could establish a set of hand signals or gestures. My kids are teaching me new ones all the time. :o

I also keep the social interaction to a minimum. It reduces the chances of a fuckup.

You can't really do that with young children and if you do that with a partner, you will likely cause way more distress for yourself. At times, some form of attachment or caring exists and a desire to not hurt them, while also being understood, is desperately hoped for.

I don't think that you are crazy or completely clueless at all.

I think that maybe you have more problems that I do formulating a response to questions or requests from your children or your spouse.

You are right that you can't give Rage's response to your children unless you want to have them imitating that behavior, which I don't think you would, and giving it to your wife would tick her off and you and your children would suffer for it.

You probably saw my other post in "... Bitch,"  but, how many tabs can you open before your browser dies?


LOL



I still don't know what the cat did, lying across my keyboard, but I went back into "history"  and found that every tab was loaded with a site connected with Comcast TV and associated links, such as On Demand, Rhapsody, television programs buy the dozens, scheduling, etc (It is easy for me to do that, because I have my browser set to delete all personal information upon restarting). She didn't just hit the same button 432 times, either, as if she was scratching like Helen Wheels. She hit a lot of different buttons in a short amount of time, just walking, plopping, then getting comfortable where she knew I would return.

The more I look at this thing. the more I laugh about it. cats may not be psychic, but they are certainly entertaining to have around.


Does your daughter have a cat?


I ask because my daughter has mostly tortured this tiny cat from the beginning (we got her when she was six weeks old. The cat is fully grown, spayed and seems to be getting fat and she yet weighs only about eight pounds)
 
I think that is a small cat - even though my last three cats have been gargantuan by comparison (the three cats i have had previously were all near or over twenty pounds - Blue was twenty two pounds of solid muscle and a hunter) and I may have developed a lopsided view of what size housecats are  from taking on wild ones so many times, which were often cross-bred with miscellaneous wild cats, like bobcats, ocelots and cougars.
(the one I got as a kitten in the wild that grew too big for me to keep was surely a crossbred cougar kitten. She looked like a  typical speckled cat, but grew so big, so fast, I returned her to the wild at around thirty five pounds and nine months of age. She was so awesome and loving and it hurt to push her away from me, but she turned out to be just too big - long story ...)

I believe Nena (our cat, my daughter named the cat and told us how to spell the name when she was just learning to read and spell, at age six) is a tiny, petite cat with my best judgment at call. (I hold out my fore arm and she sits there comfortably - from her butt against the inside of my elbow and her chest is four inches shy of my wrist joint, for instance) and yet they are great friends and torture each other constantly - my daughter squashes her and the cat bites and scratches, lightly. My daughter loves the feeling.  She did the same things to the dog we lost a couple of years back. He bit hard, though and she liked that even more.

This cat plays chase, believe it or not.  You tag her and and run and and she runs after you and and tags you. Then you chase her and she runs away, until she decides to let you tag her back. Then she chases you again. It is funny to watch!

I don't really play that much with her  (I am her alpha and she needs re-assurance from me quite often),  but she plays this way with both kids. My son get too freaked out after a while though (he is more sensitive to touch - my daughter requires harsh touch).

My daughter will play this game until the cat stops allowing her to catch her. It is often twenty or more minutes and my daughter has worked up a sweat.

I wish I could will everyone a cat like ours. She is so coooool to have about.


... sorry, I drifted a bit, but how many tabs can you open with your browser. Maybe we should make a game of it/ (kidding, i thrink)

I know.  I have had pet cats and dogs when I was younger, but dogs make my husband's eyes water almost instantly and my daughter tested as very allergic to them.

That time I rescued the little dog who had wandered into our fenced back yard in the rain even though I gave the little dog a warm bath, he was sneezing and his eyes were weeping for a long time afterward. 

I thought maybe we could get a cat instead, but my daughter's allergist said that she would quickly develop a cat allergy with exposure, since cats are very allergenic.

No worries mate! I always tap the fuselage of the plain as I board and, a la Han Solo, say, "Here me baby, hold together!" Works every time...so far! :thumbup:

Couple of interesting tidbits about my flying past. You have to take into account I used to fly over 50,000 miles a year with all my trips to Europe.

1) Had originally booked the same flight number out of Dulles to LA for Monday, 10 September 2001 as the one that was hijacked the following day. My trip got cancelled a week earlier. I always took the early morning cross-country flights for the one of the same reasons as the hijackers. Not as crowded! Plus I would gain 3 hours and be able to goof off in CA all day before having to work the following day. I still have the page from my planner with the flight number written down. A family friend who was a pilot for United at the time flew the other early morning flight out of Dulles on that actual day.

2) Once flying to Inyokern, CA on a puddle-jumper from LAX, we hit major turbulence on the approach. Inyokern is the airport for China Lake and Death Valley, as in the high desert just on the other side of the mountains in CA. This is a short flight, but always eventful. I was seated in the back row by myself, which meant I had 4-5 seats to myself, as this particular plane had seats all the way across the back row. So I sat in the middle seat so I could stretch into the aisle. I thought I had it good. Then we hit the strong winds on the other side of the mountains screaming across the desert. I was in the very back of the plane. Meaning I got to feel the tossing and turning more than anyone else. For the final five minutes of the flight, we bounced up and down, sideways, and all over. Honest to fucking imaginary deity you may or may not believe in, just before touching down we got rolled up and the plane was at least 45 degrees off the center line of the direction we were actually going. While I never got "scared" during this ordeal, as I am a bit of an adrenaline junky, when we got off the plane I thought it would be funny to pull a Pope. Since I was the last person off before the crew, I maximized my performance and as soon as I got my feet on the ground I went down on all fours and kissed the tarmac. The pilots and flight attendant laughed their asses off. The co-pilot said, "C'mon, it wasn't that bad!" Then, quietly under his breath, I overheard him say to the rest of the crew, I have never been in such a rough landing before and was very nervous.

I love flying and have always wanted to get my pilot's license, but it is too expensive.

Yes, getting your pilot's license would be expensive, but not as expensive as buying and keeping a small plane to make use of it.

I knew someone who owned a small plane and he took me up to see the first launch of the space shuttle.  It was pretty cool to see it from the air.

He died while we were moving here. 

It was the middle of August and over 100°F and the air conditioners failed in both the U-Haul moving trucks we were driving.

He was a Holland Lop and it was just too hot for him even though we were misting him with water from a spray bottle.  He had a heatstroke and died.

We stripped down our three month old daughter and were misting her with the water too, because we were worried about how she would take the heat, but she was OK.

We adopted an older rabbit to save him from being made into Hasenpfeffer, so I think it would have been disrespectful to cook our pet when he died.

Also, even if we had wanted to cook him, we were some distance from our new home with temperatures over 100°F and no refrigeration, so decomposition would have been rapid.

I'm a mom and special education paraprofessional now, but I haven't been working as a para since I sprained my ankle on April 6.

I was managing six special needs children, five of whom are autistic, while they ride the school bus to their out-of-district schools about a two hour bus ride away from here.

Since I have been unable to return to work, they have been using two people to do the job they expected me to do alone, one to deal with my daughter and another one to deal with the rest of the children.

I've known a few people who have a Degree and work in another field.

But they both know me well enough to know I won't answer questions if I don't want to.

I think probably so, since she has about half of your DNA. 

Maybe she is somewhere on the broader autistic spectrum herself even if she isn't diagnosed and that gives her special insight into the teenagers she works with.  Or maybe she just gained experience dealing with you when you were kids.  Is she older or younger than you?

She's younger than I am, by almost a full year.

She's certainly not on the spectrum--she's very social, almost too much so. Well, for my tastes. I've always suspected that she gained whatever insight she has by having me as her brother. She says that her pupils love her, that she's the only teacher to understand them, and I think it's true. She's always understood me well, IMO.

How did you sprain your ankle?,  I haven't been around here for awhile, and just came back.

Epsom salt  is what they use for sprains.   Sulfate is benefical for liver detoxification.  A paper I read a while back on autism said a significant amount weren't good at oxidizing sulfur to sulfate form.   I would like to point out this was autism, and not aspergers, but this may have important implications.  Awhile back, I was adding green tea to my epsom salt bath for added benefit, and plantars warts on the bottom of my foot.  Tannins in green tea come out after 10 minutes or more of brewing,  are astringent in taste, and antibacterial.  

Magnets are good for pain, and increase healing by raising circulation.   Increased circulation supports better digestion and detoxification also.   I used to be in pain after strength training, but this is no longer the case, perhaps because of the magnetic bracelets I am wearing right now.  I used to have 6 but lost 4, but still no pain.  They were $5.35 per bracelet, but magnets fell out a few times also.   It doesn't say this on the package, about how your supposed to rinse them off, as they accumulate ions that interfer with their functions.  I also used to drink magnetized water to.

I twisted it and fell while I was getting off the school bus.  It is a third degree sprain, since the fall destroyed at least two ligaments.

Thanks for the advice about the magnets and epsom salts.  I have epsom salts and I can use some later today, but I will have to think how I can make use of magnets on my ankle.  It can't hurt to try.

with know insite at all, i am thinking thinging that she is especially adept at looking into others, from trying to understand with her heart what O-man is about. she could be gifted, but she could just be interested, also.

When my husband has been in town, he has been driving our daughter to school and picking her up and I have been riding along with them.

When my husband has not been not in town, my daughter has been riding the bus to and from school with either the head of the school district's behavior support team or one of its other members looking after only her while another person deals with the other five children.

Before I twisted my ankle, I looked after all six children on the bus including my daughter by myself.

Each of the kids on the bus have a teacher to themselves once they get to school, so having one person deal with all six of them at the same time is very difficult for that person.  I know it was very challenging for me.  It was even more difficult for the head of the school district's behavior support team when she rode the bus looking after all the children.  This is the person who is in charge of troubleshooting challenging behaviors in any children anywhere in the school district and making recommendations on how to deal with it, so she is very accustomed to dealing with very challenging behaviors.  I think my daughter is a handful for most people to deal with and some of the other kids on the bus can be a handful to deal with as well, particularly the two younger ones.  When any of the other kids act up, it gets my daughter worked up and then she acts up too.  One reason for this has been the division of attention by the adult who is looking after the children, so by having an adult whose job is primarily looking after her this eliminates that cause.  Between the jobs of looking after just my daughter and looking after the other five children, looking after just my daughter is considered to be by far the more difficult job.  I don't really get it, because my daughter is interesting and funny and a joy to be around most of the time, but I'm sort of hoping that they decide to keep the extra person to look after the other children and pay me to just look after my daughter when I come back to work, because getting up and walking around a moving bus to look after the other kids will be very tough for me with my ankle until it is back to 100%.

It seems an odd situation. Does your daughter not have someone her own age to talk to? If she doesn't that can make a bus ride boring and no wonder she plays up if others do.

Does your daughter have to change schools soon now that she is older? In Australia, 13 is the age when we start high school. We don't have elementary and middle school and all that.

She likes to talk about the imaginary stuff she makes up, so she might perseversate on saying "Amnesia-causing basement," or asking the other people on the bus to "basement her" or she might talk about different aspects of the "Lollypop," which is the name she has given her "Superhero School" in our back yard.  The top of her play fort is the "Principal's Office" and her swimming pool is the "Superspeed/Flying/Breathing Underwater/Mermaid/High School Room" for example.

She wants friends, but sometimes her extreme behavior scares them and also they often don't know how to respond to the things she says.  Personally, I love her amazing imagination, but I know what's she's talking about while other people often do not.

She may change schools to attend a high school in our school district next year. 

For us, the transition to high school usually happens at age fourteen or the ninth grade and high school ends with the twelth grade (age seventeen).  Our elementary schools sometimes go from preschool (age three or four) or kindergarten (age five) through either fourth or fifth grades, then middle school starts either in fifth or sixth grades and goes through eighth grade.

Callaway, that shows how different autistics can be. I can't egage in imaginary play even now. As a kid, I had to be directed by other kids to tell me what to do. I wonder why my lack of imagination is so bad, maybe one of the things that is low on the spectrum.

I hope the other kids realise that your daughter is a good person and not to be scared of her.

The beach sand goes EVERYWHERE.  My daughter's swim vest is full of sand and I don't even know how it got inside there.  My husband helped her surf on a boogie board and she loved it, though.

Glad you're back, Callaway, and hope you had a good time. Sand is just ubiquitous, isn't it? My kids used to come home from preschool with large quantities of the stuff in their shoes. The preschool must have had to top up the sandpit quite often if all the other children were carrying similar amounts home with them. :D

We had sand in all our shoes too and it filled my husband's swimsuit pockets, so he bought a new pocketless swimsuit to wear.

The hotel we stayed in had a pier and there was a foot washing thing which washed the sand off our feet when we stepped on it and there was a hose with a sprayer to wash the sand off everything else.
 
My daughter got sand in her eyes a couple of times and we had to go to the washing station to wash it out and her hair was full of sand.  But her swim vest is knit fabric over the buoyant core so I guess sand must have worked its way in through the weave of the fabric.  She also got sand between her swimsuit and its lining and that must have happened the same way.  It looked like she had a butt pad.

Hey Callaway when preparing Nitric esters like Nitroglycerin or Methyl Nitrate it is commonly done by mixing strong, or fuming Nitric and Sulfuric acids together and letting them cool and then adding the alcohol. Since the nitrate ion is the one doing the work of making highly reactive shit what role does the sulkfuric acid play other than making extra shit to take out when the desired compounds are formed?

Sulfuric acid donates a proton and converts the nitric acid into a nitronium ion form so the negatively charged oxygen atoms in the glycerine can go after it, so you could say that the sulfuric acid acts as a sort of catalyst for the nitration reaction.

It's really no big deal to separate it out, since it is water soluble and nitroglycerin is not.

You don't understand why I answered the way I do, and you automatically assume things.
Sometimes its in your own so called best intrest and its at these times you may miss things.

I herd alot how unbelieveable somethings are.   Am I nervous about what people are doing?  no, its mostly amusing, as along as certain people are doing at least a halfway decent job.

And that made no sense at all. Have you donated your body to science? Because if you have, I think you should retract the agreement. You would weaken the entire planet from what they'd learn from you.

I have taken my daughter to social skills classes for children on the spectrum.

Working with my dad, I have done so many things to repair my old Buick and his, my mom's and my brother's vehicles that there are too many to list.  About the only things I can think of that we didn't fix ourselves were rebuilding the transmission and doing major body work.  We rebuilt the engine on my Buick ourselves the second time it was rebuilt and over time we replaced I think almost every other replaceable mechanical part and sensor.  I haven't done nearly as many repairs strictly on my own, though.  I have done things on the order of oil changes, brake jobs, removing and replacing faulty parts, and tune-ups.

That's true.  I bought that Buick as a two year old used car with 30,000 miles on it and it had around 200,000 miles on it when I sold it.  I bought another used car with around 30,000 miles to replace it, and I'm still driving it today.  It has needed very few repairs compared to my old Buick, but I have taken it to a mechanic to do most of them because I don't have my dad's expertise or his set of tools to use anymore since I moved so far away.  My brothers got them when he moved to the nursing home.

Title: Re: Questions for Callaway
Post by: Callaway on August 07, 2009, 11:09:35 AM
How long have you been admin?
What do you do for a living?

I have been an admin for about two years.  There were elections for admins about two years ago and I was elected in the first election and re-elected in all the subsequent ones.

I have been a stay at home parent for most of my daughter's life until she started attending a special school for autistic children that is some distance from our home about two years ago.  For about a year, I was a volunteer who rode with her on the long bus rides to and from this school to make sure she could handle it and to make sure everyone was safe.  I was still a volunteer when the school district added another little girl with autism to the bus, but when they added two more children to the bus, they needed to actually hire someone to do it. So I applied for the job and got it.  Then they added two more children to the bus, for a total of six children who attended three different schools.

My official job title was special education paraprofessional, but my job was to look after the children on the bus and make sure they were safe and comfortable for the long bus ride to their schools.  This was my job until I badly sprained my ankle in April.  Then I was no longer allowed by the doctors to climb onto the bus and move around the bus to physically manage the kids, so I had to stay home while other people handled them. 

The first thing they figured out is that my daughter needed a highly trained person just to attend to her needs and the other children needed another person to take care of their needs, so they needed to hire two people to do the job I did alone.  This arrangement worked out OK for my daughter until the special education teacher who had been riding the bus with my daughter couldn't do it anymore and they assigned a relatively untrained person to attend to my daughter.  This did not work out well for her at all, so they started sending a separate car for my daughter and me, so I could go with her.  This has worked out very well and there have been no issues.

I have learned to ignore Randy's more inappropriate comments like this one while responding to the more appropriate ones, but you are very right that if he said something like this to a woman IRL, he would probably get decked either by the woman herself or her husband.

Sorry.  I bet PPK feels better :laugh:  Never you mind, you won't understand.  I am not going to try to psychoanalize, I am sure It might bring tears.   I already started to,  I think I will just stop now.

NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am very proud of not needing psychiatric meds, and this thread is about Callaway.  Resilents is a gift, that I wish I could share.
"not needing"?, more like not taking.  :hahaha:

Sometimes meds fuck people up more really  :laugh:  I haven't taken any for a month but I feel happier than I have been in a long while.
So.... , do you think Psych meds might make Randy babble mindlessly or something?   :duh: I didn't consider that before my last post.

IMO Randy's always been more clear when on meds. I really think he needs them.

ZIP...   I don't care, I like repeating this, both of them,   I haven't been on meds for a clinically significant peroid of time in many many years.  2 abilify doesn't equate with 2 weeks that qualifies for depression.  They aren't even slow release, over two weeks.  They put refined sugar in them to,  I won't eat that, and that is something else I haven't touched in a long time, unless it was hidden.  People have been trying to force things on me, but I have been getting around it most of time, not to mention the fact that two people almost ran me over, it was their fault, they ran a stop light. I think someone took two of my meds, but I don't care.   This is about Callaway.  Sure would like to lick her.

If you don't have compassion, then your probably not going to be a good fighter.  I read a few parts of a psychology text book, went to a therapist, and it doesn't take much brains to figure that out especially after doing all that. You sound like my mom, this guy sounds immature, irresponsible or just plan pathetic.  :laugh:  Its as if they don't have to be responsible for anything because they are weak. I wouldn't strike a person unless they tried to hit me, and that is the only reason it should ever happen.  It  would be perfect for her because she is a little slow mentally, and I am not trying to make a statement about myself..  It also sounds like my brother, who probably learned it from her, and its almost as she prompted him to be a certain way.

I thought about what I was prompted to say to >:D  I don't really care,  I like to give out self help of various kinds.

Have a nice day.  I need to go home and eat lunch,  I have been training all morning long.

If it were me and there was no way to just avoid the housemate, I would first make sure that I am talking to her in an adult way with no insults.  I would not request her help in any way.  Then when she patronized and insulted me I would say, please don't patronize or insult me.  I am treating you like an adult and I expect to be treated the same way.

How is your ankle? Is it getting better?

And how are things generally?

It had been getting better slowly, but it was still hurting although it has been five months since I sprained it.

When I went to see the orthopedic surgeon, he ordered more x-rays and another MRI, which showed that I have a tiny hole in my talus where a small amount of the bone lost its blood supply and died.  The condition is called osteochondritis dissecans.  I had to go back to wearing the cast boot instead of the ankle brace I had been using.  I will see the doctor soon and see what he recommends we do about it.

Sorry, I forgot the second part of your question, Renaeden.

Generally, things are pretty good, except that my ankle still hurts. 

My daughter is still riding with just me and a driver to school and she's doing much better with the shorter drive.  Yesterday afternoon we hit some heavy traffic going home, which caused a much longer drive and she had a more difficult time with it.  Even so, most of her effort was dedicated to annoying me and she didn't do anything that could be considered a safety issue.

That sucks. If you were closer to my age they would probably drill it and fill it in with plaster of paris like a dinosaur bone.  :thumbup: It sounds like a relatively minor injury gone awry, I hope it is fixable.

I hope it's fixable too.  I don't want my ankle to hurt for the rest of my life. 

One possible treatment is to drill little holes into the hole so blood vessels can grow through and then the hole will fill with scar tissue.

I won't know what the doctor will suggest until I see him, though.

Maybe he will just suggest continuing to wear the cast boot for a few more weeks.

Thanks, Renaeden. 

I know you're probably right, but I was wearing an ankle brace which is made of nylon and did not immobilize my ankle for most of the time and I started wearing the cast boot again only recently.

I don't want to need surgery, but I definitely don't want an ankle that hurts forever so I will do what I need to do.

It is the best book I have read in about 19 years. Yockey's Imperium was the last great one before that.

Callaway, how is your ankle? I saw written that you have a cast on it.

It is actually a cast boot, which I can remove to sleep and bathe and do range of motion exercises.  A cast would be worse.

But, to answer your question, the doctor says I need to have surgery on my ankle whenever the insurance company stops dragging its feet and approves it.

The MRI showed that I have a small hole in my talus and my anterior talofibular ligament has a chronic full-thickness tear from the sprain six months ago, so both of these will probably be fixed in the surgery, then I will have to wear a non-removable splint for a couple of weeks, then I will probably have to wear this cast boot for another six to eight weeks after that.  I will be on crutches all that time.

I fixed the typo.

It's the insurance company for Worker's Compensation which in some ways is apparently even worse than ordinary insurance companies.

They haven't been dragging their feet on the surgery for the whole six months, though.  It was after the second MRI that the orthopedic surgeon recommended surgery.
Title: Re: Questions for Callaway

Biology 102:

I know the basic blue eyes/brown eyes deal about what is and isn't genetically possible according to the good ol' punnet squares from high school biology.  My question: what are the genetics involved in green eyes, and what are the genetics involved in hazel-colored eyes? 

I know it isn't as straightforward, but I think what I'm trying to figure out is what is and isn't genetically possible to have happen.  (Like, two parents with blue eyes shouldn't be able to have a brown-eyed kid- is there an equivalent with green eyes and/or with hazel eyes?)

I think that blue/brown eye color is much more complicated than we learned in high school biology.

There are several genes that control eye color and it is actually possible for two blue eyed parents to make a baby with brown eyes or green eyes or hazel eyes or yellow eyes or gray eyes or violet eyes or any other color of eyes.

 Eye color comes from a combination of black and yellow pigments called melanin in both the front part and back part of your iris.  If you have no melanin in the front part of your iris and some melanin in the back part, you have blue eyes.  An increasing proportion of the yellow melanin, in combination with the black melanin, results in shades of colors between brown and blue, including green and hazel.

While what we are taught in high school biology is generally true, (brown eye genes are dominant over blue eye genes) because many genes are required to make each of the yellow and black pigments, there are ways to get brown or green eyed kids from blue eyed parents.

Also there are environmental factors that can increase brown iris pigmentation and change blue eyes into brown eyes, like that drug Latisse that grows eyelashes.

So what's your opinion of transgender issues Callaway?

In general I think people should leave other people alone unless they are actually hurting them.

If someone is born one gender but feels like s/he is the other one, then I think that is that person's private business and I don't think anyone should bash him/her over it.

I also don't think people should be bashed over their race, age, weight, gender, health issues, or their spelling and grammar mistakes.

However, this is Intensity, so people are going to do whatever they want to do.

I have had surgery before, but not on my ankle.

I recovered prety wel from all of them, but my ankle will have to be non-weight bearing for 4 to 6 weeks at least, depending on what the surgeon finds when he operates.

I plan to get a steerable rolling knee walker, so I hope that helps me not have to use crutches so much.  Unfortunately, my house has lots of stairs and there are several steps just to get from the driveway to the front door.

One of the annoying things that happens post-op with this kind of surgery is losing, within a day or two, all the lovely muscle tone you've painstakingly built up during the weeks and months before. Once everything starts knitting back together, though, I imagine you'll get physio, and exercises to do on your own? Looking forward to hearing how that goes. Meanwhile, a laptop and a fast connection are a huge help in overcoming the frustration of immobility.  :thumbup:

I know I will lose most of the muscle tone in the six weeks it's immobilized, but I will have physical therapy and I'll work to get it back again.  It will probably take eight months for it to get back to normal, however.

Thanks for the good wishes, everyone.

I'm using the ice machine and taking the pain medicine pretty regularly, so the pain so far has not been as bad as I feared it would be.

I got Ancef in my IV and I haven't had a fever so I think it's not getting infected

If I sit at my computer desk for very long at all, my ankle starts to swell and hurt even though I elevate it parallel to the floor on my knee walker.

I'm using a huge bean bag to elevate my foot above my head on the couch where I have been sleeping since the surgery.  My husband is driving our daughter to school this week, then she will have Christmas vacation for two weeks.  A special education teacher rode with her to school on Friday so my husband could stay with me for the surgery.  This teacher had foot surgery before and she was non-weight bearing for eighteen months, so she brought me her ice machine and her knee walker so I would have back ups on different floors of my house.  It was a really good thing she did because the ice machine I got from the surgery center quit working Saturday after less than 24 hours.  If I couldn't have used hers, it would have been difficult to use enough ice to feel the cold through all these thick bandages.

How's it all going, Callaway?
Title: Re: Questions for Callaway
Post by: Callaway on December 24, 2009, 11:18:19 AM
How's it all going, Callaway?

I'm still a cripple for the next few weeks.  I am currently lying on the sofa in my pajamas with my right leg encased in my lovely black cast boot and propped up on a huge beanbag pillow with my pink laptop propped on my left leg.

I'm still taking Percocet for the pain and using an ice machine which periodically circulates cold water through a cooling pad on my right ankle.  I have a very nice knee walker that I have been using to get around on, which is much more convenient to use than crutches everywhere except on the stairs.

I know that I needed the surgery for my ankle to get better in the long run and that knowledge helps me deal with the pain as a temporary necessity, but even so, it's still difficult for me to be in constant pain.

Right now, there's over a foot of snow on the ground, which makes it too difficult for me to get around.  So my husband has gone out alone to do our last minute Christmas shopping for our daughter.  We already bought her a new bunk bed for Christmas with a dresser and desk under it, so he's looking for a new office chair with wheels for her to use with her new desk.  Also, she asked for new underwear for Christmas, so I asked him to buy her some new bras and panties and gave him the correct sizes. It makes me chuckle to think of him looking around in that part of the store by himself searching for these.

I forgot to mention that he called me on his cell phone as soon as he arrived at the store and asked me where in the store he could find them.

Then he carefully described every package of panties and bras that he found in her size so I could tell him which ones I thought she would like.

I think you could learn more about all of those if you wanted to.

An Engineering major could combine your interests in science and mathematics, but you could still learn languages as electives.

Yup. I am very proud of my little boy. Love him to bits. I do recognise in many ways he is like a 7 to 8 year old in the way he behaves and that is at odds to his 5'4" 60kg frame and near 13 years. I know he will be the most he can be and recognise all he tries. No issue there. The world is a crappy place though so I want him to have it as easy as he can. Not being independent and having to grow up quicker than he is able will make it harder for him. Not me.

Not being independent and having to grow up quicker than he is able will make it harder for him. Not me.

Just an aside to what I have written about my son.


My eldest has Autism. He is in many way just a little boy. Given to make believe constantly and not socially aware and as he approaches 13 I fear him becoming a man too quickly for him to adequately deal with. He just doesn't on a day to day basis. More like a compliant 7 year old in many respects. Great kid but very much (despite the fact he is 5'4" and 60 kgs)  little boy.

However when the going gets tough he always steps up to the plate and acts older than his years and without prompting.

Directly after the car he was screaming and screaming in one long wail. I calmed him and he burst into tears and his sister too. He then rallied incredibly. I felt them both over, and fired questions at them and made sure that they knew I and they were OK and what would happen. I climbed into the back and we all had a quick cuddle in the back. I had to leave them to deal with various people outside.

Though obviously scared and frightened by the experience and with a crying inconsolable sister that needed comfort and with a Dad that had to deal with what was outside. He took up the task of being brave and mature and quietly soothing and consoling her.

She was in great hands. Of course between things I climbing into the back and took over in cuddling them both. But every time I had to leave them. He took up the slack admirably.

This is no one off. I have seen it time and time again. He is growing into a fine man and I am very proud of him.

Sir Les - sometimes an event like that can bring self awareness and that improves things. I will try and explain it from my perspective.

At certain ages, my awareness of myself grew. I don't think it was the same as for other kids. It was not gradual. It was sudden, a shock. But when I was 14, that was when I first realised I was different. Then when I was 17, I realised I would have to really grow up int an adult and make myself go out in the world. The results were mostly disastrous but I learnt a lot.

Then when I was 27 I was diagnosed with autism (HFA). I then went through the mental health system and had ECT and all that. I was in denial about being autistic, it was really depressing to me. But after that I came to terms (mostly) with being autistic and accepting that I would always have difficulties with a lot of things. I will never be normal. But I can live independently with a bit of help.

I hope that no one's kids go through what I went through but just wanted to say that self awareness happens and this can mean a sudden bout of progress.

They say the speed of digestion depends on which foods you eat, with high fat foods taking longer to digest than simple sugars, but I think it averages 24 to 72 hours for typical healthy adults.

I think it depends on the bad food you ate.  If you ingested some sort of toxin, you could develop symptoms of food poisoning very quickly, but some kinds of bacteria could take as long as a couple of days or more to build up to toxic levels in your body.

What are your symptoms and when did they start?  Did anyone else get sick after eating this food?

i ate del taco and got sever stomach cramps about six hours later.  then i shit liquid for about 12 hours.

the reason i wanted to know the timeframe is because i wanted to figure out what food did it to me or if i just ahad a little bug.

I remember reading that many 'stomach bugs' are actually mild cases of food poisoning.  Those sounds like classic symptoms of a self-limiting case of E coli food poisoning to me, but it could have been some other kind of bacteria or virus.  Did you vomit too?

There are several things that you can do to speed up your computer, most of them only if you know what you are doing.

I use CCleaner to clear off temp files. You can use the registry cleaner in it, but things like that generally can introduce their own problems

You can also use a registry defragger, that can speed things up a little.

Also a general file defrag ever now and again.


What I do when a Service Pack is released (ie: SP1, SP2 or SP3 etc) is roll it into the install disc and re-install windows fresh. Much better than an ancient install with a few service packs tacked on here and there.

McFiona, If you have plenty of unused space on your hard drive, go to system and click on the advanced tab and click settings under performance. In the performance options window, click on the advanced tab. Here you can click the custom option and allocate an amount of your hard drive to be used as ram. Instant virtaul memory upgrade. The other suggestions of cleaning up registry errors are also good advice. There's a free one out there Norton backs, but can't remember right now. Will post it later if it comes to mind.

Also, if you try the registry cleaner on that site, make sure your system restore function isn't turned off. Fooling with the registry can be risky so the cleaner first creates a system restore point so you can restore your system if it messes it up. No registry error expert here, but did use the site once as a last resort and it saved a computer from the trash.

Commercial egg-laying businesses get hens to lay eggs with no roosters ever present, so I think hens who are old enough will lay about an egg a day whille they are laying with or without a rooster.  Of course if there is no rooster, the eggs will be non-fertile eggs which will never hatch into chicks.  My brother's hens aren't laying eggs in the winter, but I think commercial egg-laying businesses use artificial heat and light to get their hens to lay eggs all year.

Title: Re: Questions for Callaway
Post by: Callaway on February 15, 2010, 04:02:20 PM
what about double yolked eggs.  do they hatch into twin chicks?

If the egg were fertilized, then yes it could possibly hatch into twin chicks in theory, but most likely the chicks would not be viable.  Have you ever noticed that the yolks in double yolk eggs are smaller than the yolk in a single yolk egg from the same hen and that while the double yolk egg is a little longer, it's not twice as big?  There would not be enough room or nutrients for both chicks to grow large enough, and then both of them turn around in the egg so they can breathe from the air space so even if they both hatched out, which is very rare, one or both would probably die.

They are kept till they start moulting, just before that, they tend to lay more double yoke eggs I think. When the chickens start moulting the egg-production goes down, and they will be replaced by new chickens.

We had a couple of battery chickens after moulting as pets when I was little. The three of them came out of one little cage. And they moved synchronically most of the time. Very weird. And were close to each other all the time too, as if they needed to be as close as they had been in their cage. Once they had new feathers, they produced eggs very well again.
Even needing to be that close to each other, and keeping the routine of the confinement in a way, they loved the liberty they got. More than any other chicken, those three would be sunbathing with sand between their feathers.

Cool how they always stayed so close.

My parents had chickens for a while when I was a kid, until the neighbor's dogs got into their coop and killed them.  My grandparents kept chickens for a lot longer, so my brothers and I saw them when we visited.  My husband and I live in town now, so we can't really keep them, but I'm glad that my brother does so the kids can see and take care of them.

Here's a question....have you ever noticed that most cat food is seafood based, such as tuna, pilchards etc.

But cats hate water. I'm wondering why a whole catfood market has been based on seafood, when in fact, I can't see how it is their natural nutritional base.

It's not like any dog food is seafood based, yet both are land predators.

It's not like any dog food is seafood based, yet both are land predators.

If a cat lived near water, seafood might be a big part of their natural diet.  I have seen cats perched on the side of a fish pond waiting to swipe a fish that got too close to their paws.  I know that while dogs are carnivores, cats are obligate carnivores, which means that they must eat meat in order to survive and be healthy.  Cats can't manufacture taurine or arachidonic acid and can't convert beta carotine to Vitamin A, but dogs can, so cats need these nutrients to be supplied in their diets. Therefore cats can't thrive while eating dog food, which often is more grain based than meat based.

My guess would be that cat food manufacturers try to supply essential nutrients for cats as cheaply as they possibly can, so they use some grains such as corn or wheat gluten for protein along with the least expensive meat proteins possible to supply the additional nutrients that cats need.  Maybe fish guts and shrimp heads and other seafood waste products are relatively cheap sources of protein.

Post by: SleepyDragon on February 18, 2010, 07:21:51 PM
Most cats aren't enthusiastic swimmers, except the Turkish Van breed, who are known to enjoy it. Even if they don't like getting their paws wet, cats will take advantage of any nearby streams or ponds for hunting purposes. I know mine does, though the amount of fish she gets is probably minimal compared with everything else (reptiles & amphibians, insects, birds, small mammals). With commercial cat food, she prefers the fishy kinds over the chicken and rabbit-based foods. She won't even go near the ones with vegetables in them.

A wild cat's diet would include not just muscle tissue, but also the stomach contents of its prey. It couldn't get by on plant proteins alone (being an obligate carnivore as Callaway has mentioned), but a small amount of plant matter is optimal for a cat's digestion. My furry girl regularly has a nibble at the back lawn, and she likes little bits of fresh wholemeal bread rolls.

When I see those Snappy Tom cat food commercials they always seem to have a cat living near the wharf or on a boat or whatever. So I guess they can live on boats.

Our cat likes cheese. He also likes beetroot.

Were you driving through a puddle just before this happened?

If so, then your alternator and power steering belts may have gotten wet and slipped, leading to a temporary loss of power steering and alternator power to charge the battery. However, it should be OK after the belts dry, unless they came off or broke.

If the battery light did not go off by itself last night, I would recommend you open your hood this morning before you try to start your truck and check the belts and battery terminals.

If the belts are missing or appear worn or loose, then they will need to be replaced or tightened.  If there appears to be corrosion around the battery terminals, the terminals need to be disconnected from the battery and cleaned.  If everything looks good, then you can try to start your truck.  If it starts but the battery light is still on, then I think you should drive to an auto parts store that will check your charging system to see if you need a new battery and replace the battery for you if needed.  If it's not the battery, then it could be the alternator.

True. Both heroin and cocaine can have some devastating consequences for those that use them and the people around the users, though.

We've been through this a couple of times and here we disagree.

I know that very well. But the fact is that if you're facing a ruthless criminal, or several of them, physically and/or numerously superior, your only chance is if you have a gun.

My dad's best friend's daughter got raped by an unknown man. She wasn't armed. A girl from another board I visit escaped rape only by using a taser against the rapist, thus committing a crime against Swedish law. She couldn't have gotten the taser legally, since you don't get a license for tasers in Sweden.

I'm glad she escaped. And, as you know, I have a daughter. She's the main reason to why I sometimes have doubts, but I think she might be better helped by doing something about all those rapists that currently escape justice. This country's justice system is at fault.

Indeed. I can't produce statistics (as in "I can't be arsed") but I do think that the crime rates are not in proportion between heroin/cocaine and alcohol.

Here's a question....have you ever noticed that most cat food is seafood based, such as tuna, pilchards etc.

But cats hate water. I'm wondering why a whole catfood market has been based on seafood, when in fact, I can't see how it is their natural nutritional base.

It's not like any dog food is seafood based, yet both are land predators.

If a cat lived near water, seafood might be a big part of their natural diet.  I have seen cats perched on the side of a fish pond waiting to swipe a fish that got too close to their paws.  I know that while dogs are carnivores, cats are obligate carnivores, which means that they must eat meat in order to survive and be healthy.  Cats can't manufacture taurine or arachidonic acid and can't convert beta carotine to Vitamin A, but dogs can, so cats need these nutrients to be supplied in their diets. Therefore cats can't thrive while eating dog food, which often is more grain based than meat based.

My guess would be that cat food manufacturers try to supply essential nutrients for cats as cheaply as they possibly can, so they use some grains such as corn or wheat gluten for protein along with the least expensive meat proteins possible to supply the additional nutrients that cats need.  Maybe fish guts and shrimp heads and other seafood waste products are relatively cheap sources of protein.

Thanks, yes realised they could take a swipe at little fish in a pond. When I looked up Taurine, I see the abundant sources are in fish, birds and rodents. Fish waste products would be the most cost effective as you said.

Doctors say that we shouldn't use Q-Tips to clean our ears because we could injure our eardrums or push earwax more deeply into our ears against our eardrums, but I clean my ears with a Q-Tip every day and I haven't had any problems.

I think they recommend using something like this, which is what I bought to clean the earwax out of my daughter's ears.

It may have something to do with your job. Earwax is produced to protect the ear, so it may be over producing if there is a lot of muck around where you work.

Callaway is right though, too much hard/ semi firm wax can block your ear. I doctor can flush it for you also, it feels like your brain is being rinsed, but good, in a sick way!

You should go and have a camera poked in there. It's worth the peace of mind, and they may be able to pick up the problem...ie; it may be irritable bowel syndrome. Go see a doctor.

 :agreed:

Here are some signs and symptoms of colon cancer:

Signs and symptoms of colon cancer include:

■A change in your bowel habits, including diarrhea or constipation or a change in the consistency of your stool for more than a couple of weeks
■Rectal bleeding or blood in your stool
■Persistent abdominal discomfort, such as cramps, gas or pain
■A feeling that your bowel doesn't empty completely
■Weakness or fatigue
■Unexplained weight loss

Many people with colon cancer experience no symptoms in the early stages of the disease. When symptoms appear, they'll likely vary, depending on the cancer's size and location in your large intestine.

When to see a doctor

If you notice any symptoms of colon cancer, such as blood in your stool or a persistent change in bowel habits, make an appointment with your doctor.

Talk to your doctor about when you should begin screening for colon cancer. Guidelines generally recommend colon cancer screenings begin at age 50. Your doctor may recommend more frequent or earlier screening if you have other risk factors, such as a family history of the disease.

I agree with Eclair, though.  If you are having any problems at all, then go to the doctor and have the camera poking around your anus.

This is a different issue, but my doctor told me yesterday that I was probably within a day of my appendix bursting when it was removed, so if I had continued to ignore the problem and not gone to the doctor, it could have been very bad for me.

You're right and even worse, private health insurance not purchased as part of a group plan can refuse to insure anyone with a "pre-existing condition" or they can just refuse to cover anything at all to do with the "pre-existing condition".  We ran into that when my husband lost his job with insurance that covered us and got another job.  Nobody wanted to cover our daughter, who was born with several medical issues in addition to her autism.  We wound up paying a small fortune just to get some very crappy insurance that had to cover us, called "continuation coverage".  We were eligible because we paid for the COBRA for 18 months until it ran out.

A friend of mine worked in the US for a couple of years. She said she had paid shit loads on insurance. But having had two operations, nearly died in hospital too. She had lots of examinations, not even $100 of all her costs were covered.

That's awful, Hyke.

I don't want to insult your country but there's something wrong when you have to pay that kind of money just to get basic coverage. Lots of things are wrong with my country but health care isn't really one of them.
It would be 98 hundred a year for premiums with a 5 thousand dollar deductible. So it would basically be only good for a catastrophic event such as a heart attack or stroke , something along those lines. Actually a complete waste of money. Since I only have one medical problem ( which I handle on my own) and I seldom get sick. It would be kind of useless.

I was DX`ed with pneumonia in 1990 and was asked to leave the hospital (cause they needed my bed) and was escorted to the door by a security guard. I wasnt even given antibiotics. Through the kindness of a client I recieved medication 2 days later.

Only in Amerika

There are lots of possible causes of bad breath and the tongue is only one of them.

If you eat garlic or onions, you will have garlic or onion breath even if you brush your teeth and tongue thoroughly, because it gets into your blood and is released in your lungs.

If you forget to thoroughly brush and floss your teeth, then trapped food can decay and give you bad breath.

Also, if you smoke, your breath will smell like a dirty ashtray.

Most traditional remedies for the problem focus on reducing the total number of bacteria in the mouth. The article linked doesn't mention the tongue specifically, but it stands to reason that your tongue is one of the surfaces in your mouth most likely to harbour microbes.

I think you can.  I think I hurt mine keping my mouth open wide for a particularly long dental procedure.

Sometimes it pops when I'm chewing something and it hurts so much.

I wondered if it might be TMJ:

I believe you can. I had a rollerskating accident where I took the full brunt of the fall on my jaw. It hurt so much, but I didn't tell my parents in case they stopped me from going rollerskating. I do believe I also slightly fractured it as there was a hard lump there for years, a 'corn' I beleive they call it when cracked bone mends.

About 6 years later I was at a wedding, eating food and dislocated my jaw. Could barely open it for weeks but couldn't get x rayed because I was pregnant.

Basically, I did nothing about it. It's weak, but it's mended itself over the years I believe.

i would like to know about colon cancer:

are there signs to look out for if you may have it?

or should someone just go in and have a camara poking around their anus?

You should go and have a camera poked in there. It's worth the peace of mind, and they may be able to pick up the problem...ie; it may be irritable bowel syndrome. Go see a doctor.

 :agreed:

Here are some signs and symptoms of colon cancer:

Signs and symptoms of colon cancer include:

■A change in your bowel habits, including diarrhea or constipation or a change in the consistency of your stool for more than a couple of weeks
■Rectal bleeding or blood in your stool
■Persistent abdominal discomfort, such as cramps, gas or pain
■A feeling that your bowel doesn't empty completely
■Weakness or fatigue
Unexplained weight loss

Many people with colon cancer experience no symptoms in the early stages of the disease. When symptoms appear, they'll likely vary, depending on the cancer's size and location in your large intestine.

When to see a doctor

If you notice any symptoms of colon cancer, such as blood in your stool or a persistent change in bowel habits, make an appointment with your doctor.

Talk to your doctor about when you should begin screening for colon cancer. Guidelines generally recommend colon cancer screenings begin at age 50. Your doctor may recommend more frequent or earlier screening if you have other risk factors, such as a family history of the disease.

I agree with Eclair, though.  If you are having any problems at all, then go to the doctor and have the camera poking around your anus.

This is a different issue, but my doctor told me yesterday that I was probably within a day of my appendix bursting when it was removed, so if I had continued to ignore the problem and not gone to the doctor, it could have been very bad for me.
i will take the weightloss and then go see the doctor.  i have no problems with them poking around my anus.

If by "take the weight loss" you mean "delay testing till I've gotten nice and thin," please don't. Early detection gives you the best chance of success.

Oh, I have no doubt that there will be other pheromones then. But what they mean to tell? No idea. It is clear how you react on them though. But if that is, because her pheromones lure you, or do you react wanting more because of what can't be? That's up to scientists and psychologists I guess.

My ex could smell my pregnancies. Kept him away from me. To him it was a strong territorial scent that I gave off.

no it was posted by you in a thread you created , here it is





It seems like I have an unusual fetish. I find that women's lips and lipstick are much more attractive to me than anything else. Now these lips has to be nicely shaped and noticeable, I don't like thin or wrinkly lips, no offense to those who have thin or wrinkly lips. I especially like thick lips wearing lipstick or lipgloss. That usually turns me on if the rest of the woman's face looks nice, too. I haven't really told anyone about this until now, but I really want to know what people think about my fetish.

I remember going to middle school, there were a couple of attractive women who had a nice set of lips and did certain things with them that really turned me on. One of them was an aide who was an attractive blonde woman. At first, she wore lip gloss which didn't last but an hour, not the least because she would quite frequently lick her lips as if her lips were really dry or something or her lip gloss was too much to bear. But then she reapplied it anyways. Then after a while, she started to wear sheer lipstick (I dunno which color it was, I think it was a nude color or something) which looked pretty good and was better than the pink lip gloss and it could withstand her licking. This really aroused me. It made my classes more enjoyable when she was with me.

Then I had a 7th grade math teacher who was kind of a weird person to me. She was also attractive and had short curly red hair. She had fairly thick lips that were nicely shaped, and just about every day, she wore dark red lipstick which I liked. However, I wasn't in her first period class, I was in her class right before lunch, where her lipstick was fading. But there was usually enough for her lips to still be sexy. I watched her as she licked and bit them and that made my math class more enjoyable. I wish I had her in the morning when her lipstick was full on. But I did get to see that a few times and I fantasized about having her and my aid that I mentioned earlier put on lipstick and kiss me on my cheeks and on my lips and then have me watch as they lick and bite their lipstick off.

Sometimes, I would put on lipstick myself and lick it off in front of a mirror to arouse myself and masturbate, but I don't wear make up in public because I don't like to wear make up. I just like to see women wearing lipstick and licking it off or sipping through a straw or drink from a can with it on, different things. It's what turns me on, more than anything else. Not a woman's body. Not even sex itself, which this fetish and my fantasies don't really involve. But I still like to stimulate myself with them thoughts and seeing lipstick fetish videos.

I never use bleach. It's not hard to find non-aggressive cleaning stuff in the local supermarket. And the acidic toilet cleaners, with formic acid are almost standard I think.

My main problem with microfibre clothes is that it hooks on my hands, and that I just can't get the surface dried with it after cleaning. I do use it on one table, because of the polishing effect. But, mainly use cotton to work with.

Microfibre cleaning cloths can reduce the need for chemical cleaning products, but for really tough stains :) , a squirt of dishwashing liquid instead of the recommended plain water gets 'er done quicker. Even Enjo sells a paste cleaner that contains finely-ground marble dust and SLS for jobs where plain water isn't enough. A cheap and handy way to dry off the surfaces after cleaning is to buy a stack of towels (hand towels, face cloths, or terry-towelling nappies) and use them as wipers.

Did you watch the YouTube he linked?

I thought that was a cute and funny way to make a point.

Also, I think it's dismissive to say to someone they can't understand your argument because they belong to a different group from you and that you need to keep it simple for them, so if they respond to this a little bit sarcastically, that should be expected.

If one makes a logical argument that the group XY oppresses the group XX, then I think it's fair for a member of group XY to make a parallel argument following the same type of logic on how group XX oppresses group XY to help one see that neither is actually oppressed. 

I personally agree that group XX was historically oppressed in terms of voting and property rights, but I disagree that group XX is currently oppressed in terms of orgasmic rights.  I mean XYs are limited to just the one at least until the refractory period is over while we can have several in succession and I don't believe that the orgasm of either is more expected than the other.  Different men are different along these lines just like different women are different.

Thanks for clarifying. I forgot to respond! Yes, things have changed, I agree. Women are coming out of that phase in society where their needs on any level were secondary.

This question may have been answered before. Do you have any hobbies or interests? Apart from the physics / chemistry stuff?

Also, I imagine you in a house with all country style furniture, the wood and the white lacquer. Am I right or wrong? Yes, it's late here and I'm asking obtuse, but harmless questions!

You're sort of wrong.  I do like natural looking finishes on solid wood like oak, cherry, or mahogany, but I don't like white lacquer at all.

I like antiques, but we don't really have a lot of antique furniture except for our daughter's cradle, a couple of chairs, a sideboard in the dining room, and a quarter sawn oak washstand in our foyer.  Our other living room furniture is Queen Anne style with oval marble topped coffee tables and we have a large silk Kashmir rug which my husband bought for me in India on the floor.

Well, first I think they would give you a tracer with radioactive iodine and scan it to see if it takes up more or less iodine than the surounding thyroid tissue.  If it takes up more, then it's definitely not malignant.  If it takes up less, then there is a 10% chance that it may be malignant.  If it takes up more radioactive iodine, they might try giving you a little more radioactive iodine to see if that would get rid of enough of the adenoma to help your symptoms of an overactive thyroid.  If it takes up less and is causing you problems or if the radioactive iodine treatment doesn't help, then they might consider surgery to remove the adenoma.

I think another possible treatment in some cases is to give you thyroid hormone, which seems counterintuitive if your thyroid is already overactive, but in some cases it suppresses the activity of your thyroid.

How's your wrist doing now?
Title: Re: Questions for Callaway
Post by: Diesel on April 28, 2010, 07:39:01 PM
Better.

Still not what it was.....never will be really.......range of motion is the biggest issue. For example I can't do flat handed push-ups.
I have most of my strength back and started lifting weights again few weeks ago but sprained something in my wrist/fore arm that hasn't been used in quite a while.

Now I have to wait some more while it heals.
Title: Re: Questions for Callaway
Post by: Callaway on April 28, 2010, 07:46:37 PM
Sorry you sprained something lifting weights.

Did you do a lot of PT to try to get back your range of motion in your wrist?

With PT, I had regained pretty much my whole range of motion before I had the ankle surgery, but now after the surgery I probably won't ever get it back to being as flexible as the other one because one of the things I had done was a modified Brostrom-Gould to fix the torn ligament that hadn't healed.  It still hurts when I use it, but not as much as it did before surgery.

Outwardly, they look like a piece of granite due to the high quartz content, but they lack the black flecks of biotite and pink patches of potassium feldspar. They could be mistaken for a piece of quartzite.

The odds which my wife and I beat in bringing forth two "perfect"  children are astounding to imagine.

It is for this reason, her thinking that she could freely dis' my children that I had no qualms about calling her a drywell.


Incidentally,  I agree with the both of you.   No one has a free license to attack another ones children!

The end.

I think I remember this person and I also had a similar opinion of them after that particular outburst.  The stupid thing is that the person was probably just trying to wound someone and said the words that they thought would hurt most.  To me, that says something about them.  Obviously, they were just too sensitive to be here, but I think that there was a lot of mean-spiritedness in saying something like that to autistic parents.  

Who are "they?"    

I was making a single reference to a single incident involving a single person who I had tried to "befriend"  on this site, early in my stay.



I carefully used "they" to try to avoid using the person's gender, but I'm pretty sure we are thinking about the same person.

Graelwyn, right?


Wow!

Why did you feel it necessary to protect or hide  or "avoid using" her gender, or worse yet, consider that her gender was in any way relevant?


I was purposefully being a little vague in order avoid using her name (an effort which you have negated) while dropping sufficient crumbs for a search engine to choke on for those truly interested in finding out more of her ways.

I thought maybe I should have PMed you with her name instead of posting it.  I was being vague with the gender to avoid identifying her, but looking back at your post, you used her gender so my not using it was pointless.  I could delete her name from my post and you can delete it from yours if you want to go back to being vague.

No, that is a weak answer, according to my nine year old daughter when she forces this game upon me.


"This the most powerful   (edit:  not "powerful."   Sorry, I often confuse that word with, "magic."  She actually says this is a "magic and fun" game) and fun game of all; a simple game of "What If?"   How can you possibly think the way you do and still not play this fun game with me?"

Her words.

I haven't been there in a long time, but I would love to go back there.

Have you heard about the wildfire in Colorado?

http://www.dailypress.com/news/national/kdvr-boulder-wildfire-txt,0,486835.story

We're getting smoke from it, but thankfully we aren't near enough to be in any real danger from it.

The pine beetles have killed a lot of pine trees which were brown and dead and still standing, so I think that may be why this fire is particularly bad.  Also, there were bad winds Monday morning in Fourmile Canyon where it started, which kept the slurry bombers which could have helped fight the fire grounded.

There was a little rain this afternoon, so I hope that helps the firefighters.

She is my only child and we have two goldfish for pets.  My daughter and husband are allergic to dogs and cats.  We used to have a rabbit before we had her and while she was a baby, but he died of heatstroke when we were moving here.  It was August, very hot, and the air conditioners broke in both of the moving trucks we were using.  We tried misting him with water to keep him cool but he just couldn't handle the heat.

what kind of furniture do you have?

We have four bedrooms, but the one that used to be my daughter's nursery is my sewing room.

We have different kinds of furniture, but I like real solid wood that's not painted over for tables and chairs and stuff like that. 

We have a quarter-sawn oak antique washstand near the front door.

We have furniture that looks like Victorian in our living room, but it's not antique.

The master bedroom has oak Mission style furniture and our daughter's room has a loft bed with a computer desk and a trundle bed and a storage area that she calls a playhouse underneath.

What do all the colors mean?

For the colors in the online list, red means admin, one shade of blue means webmaster, another shade of blue means Newsbox Slave, aqua means SUPPORTAR!!!1, purple means Modulator, purpllish mauve means Elder, back when we had Karma-Free, the color was green, and black means no special usergroup assigned.  What colors have I missed?

Orange means newsbox feature!  :2thumbsup:

It's currently Steve-O, but Steve-O's not been active here lately because his internet access is not very good right now.

As for the rules, I guess it's just that anyone who posts there can have their posts messed with at the modulator's whim, whatever that may be.

Why?  Are you volunteering to actually make up some rules for the My Way or the Highway forum?

That could be fun.

TO ALL WHO RESIDE IN THE REALM OF INTENSITY SQUARED: Let it be resolved that on this, the seventeenth day of December in the year of the Lord two thousand and ten, that the following suggestions have been submitted by the Right Honorable Semicolon for consideration as the new rules of the forum hereafter referred to as "My Way or the Highway".

Rule #1 (The Prime Directive): There shall be no rational argument whatsoever allowed on this forum. A few rational points or assumptions may be allowed, but it is expected that the bulk of the argument of any post shall consist of ad hominem attacks, logical fallacies and/or patent untruths. Any other method of argument that is not rational persuasion may be allowed at the modulator's discretion.

      Corollary #1: Godwin's Law does not apply to the "My Way or the Highway" forum.

Rule #2:The modulator is free to implement a system of points to score posts, in the style of "Who's Line is it Anyway?" All point values shall be determined solely at the modulator's discretion, and there shall be no appeal. Disagreeing with the modulator is automatically worth negative one million points. At any time, the modulator can lock a thread and declare a winner of an argument based on accumulated point values. The modulator does not have to score any posts if he/she does not want to or is simply lazy.

Rule #3: There shall be no pictures of airplanes posted on any thread that is not specifically about airplanes. This rule also applies to videos of metal songs (if the word "song" can actually be applied to metal).

Rule #4: The modulator has the right to edit any post because it does not comply with the rules. The modulator can also edit any post for clarity. The definition of "clarity" is left to the discretion of the modulator, to be decided on a case-by-case basis.

      Corollary #2: If the modulator edits a post for clarity, the modulator should note that that post was edited for clarity.

Rule #5: Every post shall contain effusive praise of the member known as Semicolon. The phrase "Semicolon is awesome" is sufficient to satisfy this requirement. This requirement may be relaxed if the thread being posted on is specifically about how awesome Semicolon is.


The Right Honorable Semicolon humbly asks the body of the esteemed membership of Intensity Squared to enter these rules into consideration.

These rules have been duly recorded and set down by my hand on this, the seventeenth day of December in the year of the Lord two thousand and ten.

I think you are taking the My Way or the Highway forum more seriously than some other people are taking it.

I think one of the ideas in making the one forum was to have something that maybe parodied WP just for laughs.

So far as I remember, we haven't had a Sinsboldly, a Mr Mark, or a Qatermass parody in there yet, though.

I used to get those too, especially in September and October before the election.  I had recently gotten caller ID and was able to Google the untraceable phone numbers on most of the missed calls to find out that they were political survey takers who make "push polls" which say something negative and usually unprovable about a candidate, like for example, "If you knew that some people are saying that the candidate Ms. X is a practicing Wiccan, would that make you more or less likely to vote for her in the election on November 2?"  It would be a subtle way of trying to influence the voters by saying things most people would consider negative about the opponents of the candidate the people paying for the "push poll" favored.

I would thaw them and bring them up to room temperature before putting them into the smoke detectors, though.  If they are still sealed in the package, that will probably prevent external condensation on the batteries from moisture in the air as they warm up.

Ah, I never even thought of that! Yes, they are still sealed. What happened is that the bagger at the supermarket put them in the same
plastic bag with my pints of ice cream, and I put the bag of ice cream away without noticing the batteries were in there too.  :laugh:

Yes, they will be fine.

You probably know that it mostly depends upon the type of batteries in question.

At room temperature some batteries regain their potential, after being exposed to extreme low temperatures; some do not.

If frozen, zinc/alkaline batteries are often useless after a short time in service. I would not put them in a kind of security device, anyway. Use lithium batteries in your security devices, please.

Ah, but within which liquid should you sink those batteries if you are going to create an explosion?


(I am fully certain that Tig would know this one and can probably describe the process in great detail, even show the relative internal temperature that the batteries must reach before the chemical reaction begins, along with explaining why the liquid must be colder than room temperature, if it is to create an explosion rather than a stink bomb - LoL!!)

I can't see them doing it right now, but if someone was logged in and doing something that isn't in the list of things that are logged, then they are doing "nothing or nothing that you can see".  If they then time out on their login session, they show up as a guest in the online list before they disappear from it entirely.

There is a term upon the tip of my tongue and I can not yet taste it.  I need your help to find it.


I would simply stick my tongue out and allow you to read it off the tip, except that one of these newbies would probably sit immediately upon my tongue and rotate or gyrate or something while you were trying to read it.

It is the word we use (well, obviously not we "less capable,"  but YOU chemistry interested well-studied types, mostly) to describe what happens when solidly frozen water/ice turns into pure water vapor without making the transition to liquid first.


I saw a huge cloud of fog from this effect in the setting sun, around four PM, creating a vortex of rising vapor directly transformed from a field of pure ice, and taking on the colors of the setting sun ...


... anyway, I was speechless, because the word escaped me and my artistic speech had to take over and satisfy those I was with in company, just before I sat down to try to interact with the forum, actually.





Enough of the time line.

My simple question is:

can you tell me the name of that simple word i should have used?.

Quote from: Wikipedia
Sublimation is the transition of a substance from the solid phase to the gas phase without passing through an intermediate liquid phase. Sublimation is an endothermic phase transition that occurs at temperatures and pressures below a substance's triple point in its phase diagram.

11-13 is known as "mellanstadiet" in Sweden. School from 7-16 is known as "grundskola". "Högskola" is a university with less rights to give academic exams than a "real" university. What you call (upper) high school in the US is called "gymnasium" in Sweden and most other countries in Europe.

It ends at Year 12 although people can leave after Year 10 and get a job or go to TAFE (Tertiary and Further Eduacation) Most people who do Year 12 and exams end up going to university.

It could in theory teach her until she's 18, but she's entitled to a free appropriate public education until she's 21 or earns a diploma.

I found these exercises to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome:

http://www.safecomputingtips.com/carpal-tunnel-exercise.html

I think that when you use a keyboard or a mouse, you want to have your wrists supported so they are straight and neutral, and when you sleep, you need to have your wrists straight.  My sister-in-law had carpal tunnel syndrome and she slept in special wrist braces designed to keep them straight.  I have seen ergonomic wrist supports at office supply stores that aren't very expensive.

Something cheap and really relaxing for your hands and wrists.

Take a huge plastic container (With lid, so you can use it many times). Fill the container with the cheapest version of dry macaroni. And when you come home and sit down to relax, put your hand in the container with dry macaroni. Very relaxing. Just do that 5 minutes at a time per hand. And make sure you don't have to put your arm in a weird position to get your hands covered in the macaroni bath.

Title: Re: Questions for Callaway
Post by: Callaway on April 19, 2011, 02:28:20 PM
why?

For one reason, he started out spending a lot of money that we don't have giving subsidies to people who wanted to buy more fuel-efficient brand new cars, for example.  I'm sure that the manufacturers of Japanese automobiles were very grateful for these subsidies.

For another reason, he said that he wouldn't sign into law any health care reform legislation that didn't include a public option, then he signed it anyway without a public option, giving health insurance companies a huge bonus by requiring everyone in America to purchase private health insurance or face a penalty.  One might think, "But at least the health insurance companies will have to begin covering children with pre-existing conditions."  However, there's no teeth to that law without a public option, so they just stopped writing child-only health insurance policies in several states when the requirement began.

Where on the spectrum I place myself depends on the specific issue.  I want nationalized health care but I didn't want taxpayers to fund subsidies for people to make new automobile purchases.  I think that women should be able to choose for themselves whether they want to have an abortion.  I think that the national deficit is too high.  I think that Americans without criminal records should have the right to own guns.

Speaking of Clinton; he signed a federal law that was specially made for Bill Gates, Jerry Seinfeld and Paul Allen, so that they could drive their Porsche 959s legally in the US:

---

"The "Gates 959" is an infamous car,[7] one of the Porsche 959s built in the mid-eighties, imported by Bill Gates to the United States in 1987. Gates' fellow Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen imported another one, as did Porsche collector Jerry Seinfeld. These cars had not been approved by regulators and had no Department of Transportation‎ and Environmental Protection Agency‎ approval. The "Gates 959" was stored for 13 years by the Customs Service at the Port of Seattle, until regulations were changed to allow "Autos of Interest" to be imported with severe limitations on their use.[7] Gates and Allen both helped pass the "Show and Display" law.[7][8]"

There was no unanswered question addressed to me in what Bint said in Dunc's "I'm leaving" thread, however I believe that you changing a serious post that Dunc or Ozymandias made would be equivalent to someone else changing a serious post that you made.  The fact that the example I chose for you was about Sophie was because that's one of the few subjects you take seriously and so you could understand that such a change would be intrusive.

The reason that I need to explain this to you at all is because both you and she seem to think that it was fine and dandy for you to change Dunc's post about his reason for leaving Intensity to one that said he's gay.  I have trouble understanding why you think you have more right to change what Dunc said and have that stand as his words than Dunc's words have the right to be his own.  It was a serious post and when he posted it, he didn't post in a forum where someone else had the ability and inclination to change it for "lulz."

This is the internet.  As your usual run-of-the-mill internet posts go, the owner of a site leaving said site is pretty serious.  Newbies like myself want to find the history to better understand the place they have joined and having it corrected helps us out.

How the hell is it irrelevant?  Callaway brought up the death of Sophie herself in the first place and compared someone editing Soph's post about Sophie, to what Soph did with Dunc's post.

Whoa  :zoinks:  Almost like a single mind over there. 

My point is that the severity doesn't have to be equal for her analogy to make sense.  I think most people would agree.  Again, this is the internet and people can't go around with score-cards to determine which analogies are acceptable based on a point scale.  An analogy is a device for helping someone understand a point by putting it in overly-simplistic terms, it doesn't have to be perfect to convey a point.

I still don't see how her analogy works. Mocking a death is completely different to mocking someone leaving a forum
Title: Re: Questions for Callaway
Post by: Binty on April 20, 2011, 03:57:36 PM
Not to mention, why bring up something that is a sensitive issue for Soph?

Callaway said that it's the only thing that Soph takes seriously, so naturally her analogy is that Dunc's leaving post should be treated equally seriously, which is laughable.

Yeah, I get THAT. I just don't think it shows that at all. If you used an example where someone was changing a post I'd made which was similar to Dunc's, then yes, that would show me whether it's intrusive or not. Using the example of a post about a friend who's died is obviously gonna have an entirely different affect. I wouldn't give a shit if someone edited a serious post which was about "serious" internet stuff. Someone dying though, that's not just a "serious post", is it?

Do you think you would feel the same if someone edited a post you made bout I2 as you would if they edited a post you made about your daughter's problems?

"Serious" is subjective.  That thread can't have been "serious" to Dunc?  Or if it was serious, it doesn't matter because you have something "more serious" that happened to you?  For every person, that which happens to them will always be more serious then that which happens to others.

Yes, I wonder why she refuses to answer it...  :scratchhead:

I thought that you were just trolling, but I should have realized how much I hurt you by bringing up a subject that is still very painful for you and I apologize for that.  That was thoughtless, but I didn't set out to hurt you.  I'm having trouble thinking of a better analogy, which would be something you take seriously that wouldn't be so painful for you, but I should have thought of one.

To answer the question that was actually asked, I would feel irritated if someone edited a serious post I made, whether it was one that I spent a lot of time on about Intensity or whether it was about some problem my daughter was having.  I wouldn't mind so much if I posted somewhere where I had the expectation that my post would be edited before I posted it there, like the My Way or the Highway, but if I had spent a lot of time on it because I was answering someone's serious question that just happened to be there, I might still feel a little bit annoyed.

It takes me awhile to write a longer post because I type slowly, so I think that Dunc must have spent some time writing the post that set out his reasons for leaving Intensity and I thought that it was trolling to change it to a silly joke at his expense.  I have used the analogy that although Intensity might have been McJagger's, Eamonn's and Omega's baby to start with, Dunc sort of adopted us when he offered us space on his server when we didn't have a home to go to and it made a lot of people sad when he moved on.

She waited almost 1400 posts to throw that one at me.  Personally, I think she jumped the gun because I wasn't even implying how anyone should behave.  I suppose if she ever does find me saying such a thing she could throw it at me again, but it's a weakened accusation now.

I find it harder. Individual responses I can understand. I have no problem when an individual refers to someone else, telling that he or she agrees. I do have a problem when there is all of a sudden a "we". In a manifesto or so, or a group explanation I get it. It are the things people agreed on, before coming together. Like an action-group could present itself with the things they agreed on and stating that in a "we" shape. But, "we" as a personality to interact with, I have big problems with that, and I always have had that. For me, the individuality is getting lost then. And I don't know who to answer to. It blurs. I lost friends over that, who after they entered a relationship only existed as "we". I just get lost and without breath and headachy.

I have been curious since I drove though Colorado on I70  how bad do the roads have to get before they use those big  gates to close them and how often does it happen

It has to be pretty bad.  I can remember one specific time that it happened when I was on the road and it impacted me personally, but I think that it happens for certain stretches of I-70 more often, like just west of the Eisenhower Tunnel, for example.  Also, there are loads of times that snow chains are required to drive on that stretch of I-70.

This was my personal experience.  My husband, our daughter, and I were driving back home after Christmas a few years ago through Kansas, when there was an ice storm and we heard that I-70 had closed down just west of where we were.  The roads north to Nebraska and the secondary roads in Nebraska west to Colorado were still open, so we drove north to Nebraska.  The roads were covered with sheets of ice that were so slippery that we had to hold onto the SUV to keep from slipping and falling down when we stopped for lunch.  The power lines were also coated with the same ice and the wind was making them bounce up and down like sine waves.  I didn't see any snap, although I think that some must have, because the first place we stopped didn't have any power.

I personally do believe in God, but I also know good people who do not and I don't judge them for their beliefs.  The God in whom I believe gave people minds to think for themselves and I think that they have to choose their own paths in life.  I don't think that the existence or non-existence of God can be logically proven, so it has to be a question of faith.

why do you believe in a god?

I believe that someone made the matter that sparked the initial Big Bang, since I believe that the hydrogen and helium could not have spontaneously arisen from nothingness.

I also believe in the scientific method as well as evolution, though.

I think that most religions which try to explain who they see as God are sort of like the story about blind men describing an elephant from feeling only single parts of it.  I think that God is actually more complicated than any of us can comprehend.

THE BLIND MEN AND THE ELEPHANT.

A HINDOO FABLE.

IT was six men of Indostan
 To learning much inclined,
Who went to see the Elephant
 (Though all of them were blind),
That each by observation
 Might satisfy his mind.

The First approached the Elephant,
 And happening to fall
Against his broad and sturdy side,
 At once began to bawl:
"God bless me!—but the Elephant
 Is very like a wall!"

The Second, feeling of the tusk,
 Cried:"Ho!—what have we here
So very round and smooth and sharp?
 To me 't is mighty clear
This wonder of an Elephant
 Is very like a spear!"

The Third approached the animal,
 And happening to take
The squirming trunk within his hands,
 Thus boldly up and spake:

"I see," quoth he, "the Elephant
 Is very like a snake!"

The Fourth reached out his eager hand,
 And felt about the knee.
"What most this wondrous beast is like
 Is mighty plain," quoth he;
"'T is clear enough the Elephant
 Is very like a tree!"

The Fifth, who chanced to touch the ear,
 Said: "E'en the blindest man
Can tell what this resembles most;
 Deny the fact who can,
This marvel of an Elephant
 Is very like a fan!"

The Sixth no sooner had begun
 About the beast to grope,
Than, seizing on the swinging tail
 That fell within his scope,
"I see," quoth he, "the Elephant
 Is very like a rope!"

And so these men of Indostan
 Disputed loud and long,
Each in his own opinion
 Exceeding stiff and strong,
Though each was partly in the right,
 And all were in the wrong!

So, oft in theologic wars
 The disputants, I ween,
Rail on in utter ignorance
 Of what each other mean,
And prate about an Elephant
 Not one of them has seen!

How long does it take to bounce back/recover from antibiotic resistance- in particular, from prolonged use of anti-acne topical antibiotics?

I'm not sure how long it would take, since some people have colonies of antibiotic resistant bacteria even when they haven't been taking topical antibiotics at all.  However, antibiotic resistance is more common in people who apply topical antibiotics intermittently or who often forget to apply the second daily dose.  If you have been using Clindamycin, perhaps you could switch to Erythromycin or vice-versa?

An oral antibotic, Minocin, worked very well on my acne that I got when I stopped taking birth control pills and I only had to take it once a day.

An oral antibotic, Minocin, worked very well on my acne that I got when I stopped taking birth control pills and I only had to take it once a day.
I was using Clindamycin once a day (I'm pretty sure that was what I was supposed to do), and TBH I would like to skip out on the antibiotic thing altogether unless my acne gets hugely worse, due to worry of antibiotic resistance and quite frankly it's also rather costly with my work insurance.  I also think it probably contributed to some really ghastly skin problems I had last year and again a couple of weeks ago- each time cleared up by doxycyclin.  (The best guess I have is it was perioral dermatits.)  Seeing as I was on Clindamycin since I was a teenger I'm assuming it probably stopped working properly years ago.  I have retin-A which I use daily and I think that helps a great deal.  I'll ask ym doctor but was curious what you would be able to glean.  I didn't come up with anything solid but all the info I found made me think stopping clyndamicin is probably a good idea.

I think that the Haynes manuals have more details than Chilton's, at least the ones I have used.  I remember that I needed a diagram for the vacuum hoses after I had the engine rebuilt and my Chilton's didn't have it.

I asked for the engine size because I was trying to see if I could find the information online.

I did find a shop manual that would undoubtedly have the diagram, but it was over $100.

http://www.diyrepairmanuals.com/products.asp?cat=9695 (http://www.diyrepairmanuals.com/products.asp?cat=9695)

PMS Elle, you could point to the part you suspect of making noise with a long screwdriver or a yardstick, thereby showing it to the mechanic without knowing the name of it, couldn't you?

I take it that it only makes the noise under certain conditions and idling with the gear shift in Park or Neutral is not one of the conditions, am I correct?

Depends which noise, when it happens.

I'm trying to avoid having to deal with taxis and begging for rides in order to get my car to the mechanic who had it under warrantee, so I want to be able to describe it over the phone (their hours of operation are the same as my work hours, which SUUUUUUUCKS).

I think that the Haynes manuals have more details than Chilton's, at least the ones I have used.  I remember that I needed a diagram for the vacuum hoses after I had the engine rebuilt and my Chilton's didn't have it.

I asked for the engine size because I was trying to see if I could find the information online.

I did find a shop manual that would undoubtedly have the diagram, but it was over $100.

PMS Elle, you could point to the part you suspect of making noise with a long screwdriver or a yardstick, thereby showing it to the mechanic without knowing the name of it, couldn't you?

I take it that it only makes the noise under certain conditions and idling with the gear shift in Park or Neutral is not one of the conditions, am I correct?
Depends which noise, when it happens.

I'm trying to avoid having to deal with taxis and begging for rides in order to get my car to the mechanic who had it under warrantee, so I want to be able to describe it over the phone (their hours of operation are the same as my work hours, which SUUUUUUUCKS).
Go to your local library.  They typically have a large selection of Haynes and Chilton manuals.  Just photo-copy the bitch.  :)  Cost all of 15 cents.

Yes, TCO was IP banned when his account was deleted at his request.

He threatened the site just before we deleted his account, so I IP banned him just before the deletion, which unfortunately also affects Pandora since he's staying with her right now.  This was done with the hope that it would help him move on because he had repeatedly told me during the one week wait that he had absolutely no desire whatsoever to ever return to Intensity and that his decision was completely and irrevocably final.

Without the checkbox, it only shows sentence snipits of the post which contain the search word, so when searching by username, it's hard to tell which results are actually the poster's words, or which ones are results from other people quoted in the post. Clicking the message box shows the entire post, so results within quotes are easy to spot.

Cat food is supposed to have all the nutrients that a cat needs to be healthy, so I would think that if the cat food is a good brand, there wouldn't be a problem.  Maybe if you just fed an indoor cat canned cat food and it isn't very active, it might become overweight, which might cause some problems.

You shouldn't feed a cat exclusively on dog food because dogs can synthesize the amino acid taurine and cats cannot, but you probably already knew that.

My cat's kinda fat, but, well, he doesn't have a whole lot of room to run around in.  I'm wondering if the indoor cat food is slowing his metabolism down or messing with him in some way, the way living on "diet" food hypoethtically can for humans.  He's less active than he used to be, but he's also nine years old, so that's not especially alarming (younger cats are generally more hyper).

I live approximately a mile above sea level and yes, I should follow the high altitude baking instructions although I don't always do it with prepackaged mixes.  It makes more difference when baking from scratch, I think.  Things rise too quickly in some cases and then they might fall.

I got Chicago as well. 

I wonder if this is some sort of central office of your wireless internet through Cricket?  I know that Cricket's corporate headquarters are in San Diego, CA.

I remember once I stayed in a hotel and used their wireless internet and was surprised to see that the IP checker said I was in Washington DC, when I was nowhere near there.

No, most of the snow from our previous snows (at least the snow that wasn't in deep shade) had melted before this snow that we are getting right now and this show is not supposed to amount to that much.  My daughter's outside playing in it right now in her snow pants, jacket, gloves and boots.

Distilling water would give you absolutely pure water.  Ceramic and carbon filters remove many impurities like bacteria, giardia, chlorine, and lead but neither would remove mineral salts that are dissolved in the water.  I think that some trace pharmceuticals could be in the form of dissolved mineral salts, such as Lithium.

so the water would have nothing at all in it? what would be the ph?
could the water that comes out of my tap have trace pharmaceuticals? how would they get there? If they come from reclaimed water I am thinking that I should get a distiller because so many people are on meds these days. I just want the ones I have to take.

wait, would that be bad? how would I get the minerals I need?

wait, would that be bad? how would I get the minerals I need?

Right when the water is distilled, the pH would be 7.0, however, if it sits in an open container for a long time, distilled water can absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and the dissolved CO2 makes carbonic acid and lowers the pH.

Some pharmaceuticals can be flushed into wastewater, but their concentration would be extremely low and I doubt that they would show up in appreciable quantities in tapwater, maybe in parts per billion or even parts per trillion.  An activated carbon filter would be sufficient to remove most of them except for mineral salts like Lithium.  If you want to get a water distiller for your own peace of mind or because your tapwater is kind of brackish, get a good one, preferably with stainless steel or glass parts and keep the collecting jar very clean to prevent microbial growth.

I think that most people get the majority of their minerals from food rather than their water, anyway.

I'm lucky because the tap water is great here, but it does have lots of dissolved minerals.
Title: Re: Questions for Callaway
Post by: WolFish on February 15, 2012, 12:39:00 AM
I guess lithium in parts per billion or trillion would be fine too. It won't be irgent now but I am going to save up for a distiller because I can taste things in most water, and because the filters keep changing so that I have to buy a new one rather than just the insides. The water in MA smelled horribly of chlorine, while the water here smells like swampwater and if left sitting grows things that look like worms.

I clean my beverage containers with a solution of food grade hydrogen peroxide. I'm thinking that would keep the collecting jar clean too.

Thanks.

Hey Callaway, know of some good stretches to prevent neck and back pain?  Both are minor/not at a "scare" point for me, before you ask. 

If this makes a difference, I think I keep kinda tweaking my back doing pull-ups (well, trying to), and after rock climbing I'm wrecked (some of that is expect able, it's bloody rock climbing).  It's really more in my shoulders than along my spine, and it's achy.  When I can get a friend to give me a back massage it helps a lot.  The neck I think is partly how I'm sleeping and I think some of the rest might be postural.

I don't know any off the top of my head, but I think that it makes sense that massage should be helpful if you carry a lot of tension in your neck and shoulders, so maybe what you need are some relaxation exercises for your neck and shoulders like you might do in some forms of yoga.  Shiatsu massagers for your neck and back aren't that expensive, if you want to check them out.

A few ideas:

Get a new pillow. Take regular breaks at the computer--pain in your shoulders suggests that your problems do not originate from rock climbing.

But once you do rock climb, make sure you are warmed up first. That helps a lot, too.

I don't want to overwater my plants just to give the anole water. I am not sure if it is going outside to get water. I am pretty sure from watching it that it is hunting inside.

I didn't know that brown anole lizards ate fruit at all.  I thought that they ate mostly insects like small crickets and flies and small spiders.  You can mist your plants with a spray bottle a couple of times a day and the anole will lick the droplets of water off their leaves, or you could put some water in a saucer for it, which will also increase the humidity nearby. 

OK, I just did a search and I found a reference that said they will sometimes drink the juice from sweet soft fruit like bananas, peaches, and plums and you can puree a small amount of soft fruit as a treat and add the vitamins and calcium they need.

I watched the whole Twilight series of films that are on DVD with my daughter recently one weekend while her dad was in India.  We had a sort of movie marathon weekend, but we could stop watching whenever she wanted to and start watching again whenever she wanted to.  She's quite disappointed that Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2 won't come out until November.  She wanted to rent it immediately afer we finished watching Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 1.

That's also a good point that a good mix of people are needed, but personally I like that I don't always have to be careful to choose my words correctly, and that I don't need to walk on eggshells around someone's fragile feelings. 

Of course, that's not entirely accurate in some ways because some people who are very insensitive regarding other people's feelings while remaining very sensitive regarding their own feelings can still misinterpret what I or someone else meant, but that particular type of very thin-skinned person tends not to stick around here very long.

I think that you would be able to exercise to some extent, but you probably should avoid strenuous exercise like lifting weights.  Maybe walking or swimming would be better than weightlifting (if you like swimming).

I think that your doctor would be a better person to ask how much you can do since s/he would know your hematocrit and other things concerning your overall health.

Well, it's not in the 'ask away' section? I didn't mean to 'accuse' anybody, but presumably, it is here rather than there for a reason & I'd 'lost' this thread.

You're correct.  Triste started this thread here to ask me a question.  Some people have suggested that I move it to the Ask Away section, but Triste started it here and I like it here and don't want to move it. 

It is true that I don't like to answer questions that I consider very personal for private reasons of my own, so that's another good reason for it to be here instead of there, IMO.  I wouldn't want anyone to be misled into believing that I would be willing to answer questions that I wouldn't.

Bodaccea wasn't talking about you accusing me of not having an Ask Away thread; she was talking about someone else.

Is this your ask away thread that you don't have? :zoinks:

Sorry just saw somewhere that you were accused of not having one.

It's not exactly an Ask Away thread, so I guess that's why Pyraxis said that.  Either that, or she just wanted to score some cheap points against me.

 :-\

I can't remember whether I sewed the light blue potholder first in seventh grade or the doll's dress I made completely by hand from a floral print.  I made the dress for an old miniature doll and I didn't know how to do a bodice yet, so I made it by wrapping her top with a pink ribbon in an X over her breasts, then over her shoulders, then around her waist.  Believe it or not, it turned out cute.

I very much enjoyed a graduate level mathematics class called analysis where we proved theorems from some very basic axioms.  We were forbidden from looking into books or asking for help.  We had to figure it out ourselves and I was pretty good at it, but I was nothing compared with a twelve year old boy who was taking the class with me.  We were called on in a certain order, with the weakest students called on first so they could have the first chance to shine, and this twelve year old always called on last.

Mostly making dresses, costumes, stuffed animals and other stuff for my daughter.

That analysis class was the highest level math class I took.  I majored in Chemical Engineering and got a Master's degree.

Title: Re: Questions for Callaway

Um, chemical engineering? What's that, then?

That is kind of a broad question.  In a nutshell, it's the branch of engineering that focuses on chemistry and physics along with mathematics, economics and other areas.  So I took the same chemistry that the chemistry majors took, the same physics that the physics majors took, the same mathematics that the math majors took, up to the point of differential equations, complex variables, and linear algebra, classes in drafting and economics and classes in the other engineering branches like electrical engineering and mechanical engineering, along with the other courses required to get a degree.  I took the analysis class for fun.  It was the most rigorous engineering school at the universities where I got my BS and MS degrees. 


Here's the Wikipedia page on it if that gives you a broader view:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_engineering (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_engineering)

The area of chemical engineering that I did my thesis research in was process control.

My ankle is good; it rarely bothers me at all anymore.

My knee is getting better, but it still hurts and it doesn't have quite the full range of motion yet.  I went to Physical Therapy for it today and I definitely feel it now.  I do the exercises at home too but not all at the same time, so maybe that's part of the difference.

The nosebleed was shocking.  I have had nosebleeds off and on since I was a kid, but none of them were anything like this one.  It's reassuring to know that the doctors at the emergency room have ways of stopping a nosebleed that go beyond anything I ever heard of before.  Even so, I will always be very cautious about ever using aspirin again, even in very small doses.

People can smoke it at home or in private marijuana clubs, but they aren't allowed to smoke in public or drive under the influence, which to me seems to negate the ability to smoke in private clubs.  Some people use the clubs because they can't smoke in their apartments without violating their leases.

It's moot. I seem to have lost the cheese. It's probably somewhere in my luggage so I probably won't eat it.
I make good decisions most of the time. I tossed the fermenting sweet potatoes and the iced tea, which had formed a lump. I'm debating the bacon. It was the precooked kind and it's been frozen for two years.

Alas! Still no Callaway. I had a whole sweet potato that fermented in its skin. It tasted fine but I decided not to take chances.

I do have a jar of fermented cabbage that I am thinking about tasting to see if it could be used on the next round of hot dogs. Not sure how long for sauerkraut. It's been in the refrigerator for about five months now and is nice and juicy. Should I wait longer? It's not quite the color of sauerkraut yet so I haven't tried it.

I found out that it takes a lot of abuse to make eggnog go bad. I left a quart of it out on the counter overnight and then put it in the refrigerator. It tasted fine so I am drinking it.

Alas! Still no Callaway. I had a whole sweet potato that fermented in its skin. It tasted fine but I decided not to take chances.

I do have a jar of fermented cabbage that I am thinking about tasting to see if it could be used on the next round of hot dogs. Not sure how long for sauerkraut. It's been in the refrigerator for about five months now and is nice and juicy. Should I wait longer? It's not quite the color of sauerkraut yet so I haven't tried it.

I found out that it takes a lot of abuse to make eggnog go bad. I left a quart of it out on the counter overnight and then put it in the refrigerator. It tasted fine so I am drinking it.

Making sauerkraut is on my to do wishlist. Did you use salt? Did you crush the cabbage? As long as the cabbage is standing under water, it should keep well for about a year. After six weeks of fermenting, it should be sauerkraut. If it stands warm enough three weeks might even be enough. If it is placed somewhere cold, it could take 8 weeks.
What I read about it, it is important to scoop of mold from the fluid on top of the sauerkraut to be a few times.
Over time the sauerkraut will get darker.

My kids both made sauerkraut in primary school.

Is it bad that there is no mold? I will look, but unless the mold is white there is none.
I didn't add anything to it. It made its own fluid. The cabbage was something called "angel hair" - very finely shredded. We use it to make pancit. It started this process in a plastic bag but I moved it to a glass jar to see what would happen so I don't know if any ingredients were added after they shredded it.
Should I add salt to it now? Based on your numbers I am sure that it is sauerkraut by now.

I am finishing the last of the eggnog that was left on the counter. I can't freeze any this year so I will either have to make my own or wait until October.

In the recipes I saw for sauerkraut salt was added (10 to 15 grams per kilogram of shredded and crushed cabbage) to both extract the fluid, and to conserve. Together with the anaerobe fermenting the salt works for preservation. A weight is put on top, to prevent the cabbage from getting in contact with air.

The mold is not required. But can happen in the first few weeks, and that can be scooped off.

Read some more about sauerkraut. Want to make some with red cabbage soon. Will look so pretty.

In some recipes a bit of buttermilk is added to start the fermenting. And there are recipes with herbs, spices, apple or wine.

The good news is that she probably isn't dead because her name would be in the obituaries.

How deep do mold fingers grow? I wasn't sure so I just ate the top half of the raspberry. I don't think the mold was very old. I didn't see it yesterday. Today it was white with little black things sprouting out of it kind of like dandelions in snow.

I also have a question about narcotics. I am the world's worst drug addict so I have oxycontin that dates back to 2008. I could be imagining that it works. I use it mostly for coughs and bad weather bone pain. It seems like it works when I use it but not sure if I am not poisoning myself. I'm using the oxycontin first, then the hydrocodone, which is from 2009.

The current doc will only give me the stuff that has tylenol in it; maybe because he thinks less street value? But I asked for a couple days worth and they gave me 90 pills. Still have those because  they're horse pills compared to the hydrocodone (size of mini aspirin), plus I don't want a lot of acetominophen jacking up my liver. I have enough problems.

Without the Tylenol it's a schedule II drug.  Until recently, it was a schedule III when mixed.  Easier for the doc to prescribe and you to refill when it's a schedule III.

so i have a really bad cold that's just a really bad cold so i can't go to my doctor.

i had mucus so thick i almost choked on it. i drank a couple liters of water and that helped but then i got a dry cough with next to nothing.
i bought an expectorant and it didn't work. i have some expired expectorant and i figured what the heck.

i am not quite a fount of mucus yet but now less worried about this being pneumonia.
why did the expired stuff work better? they're both generic. should i invest in some name brand stuff? i also took some pseudoephedrine to see if it was asthma. that also seemed to make things better.

i had some narcotic (not expired) and some sake and now i can't sleep. usually the narcotic takes the edge off just enough that i can sleep if i try. the pseudoephedrine has never stopped me from sleeping before.

i have some antibiotic and some antiviral (the antibiotic is expired but the antiviral is not), but i don't want to take those unless i am sure it's pneumonia and i know what kind. i don't think either one will work if it's just a cold. i don't think you can get viral pneumonia from a cold so maybe the antibiotic as a preventive?

i don't have a fever, fatigue or chills. i don't have aches but i do have a history of bronchitis many years ago. and yes i will avoid drug cocktails from now on.

Some of her actions were borderline bullying but she was subtle about it.

They were not. She was direct but not a bully.

That's your opinion but I don't share it. I'm probably one of the few here who doesn't find it hard to believe that Callaway has bullied people.

Interesting question.
I'm one of the people who knows Callaway from way back. Way, way back before Intensity, and have collaborated with her, behind the scenes,  in anti-bullying campaigns. So you can guess how far I am from believing her to be a bully in nature. And yet, a lot of people who haven't known Callaway that long are calling her a bully, and coming up with credible evidence.
I find this perplexing.  And I very much feel it's best to acknowlege that dichotomy openly rather than let it continue to quietly stew in the background.  If Callaway ever does come back, she'll surely face a load of shit on this account. Indeed said shit might be what drove her away in the first place :(

I'm with Odeon, et al.  Very much hope she's OK.

she had a good reason for keeping the evidence to herself though didn't she? and hiro's behaviour in public waspretty damned nasty, IIRC. like i said, very grey area.

Her reason was to protect the privacy of the victims.

At the time I objected on the grounds of the lack of a fair trial, and nobody really paid it much attention. That was ten years ago. Maybe in the context of the social justice witch hunts which plague social media now, that position is a little clearer. This place is about standing up for yourself and yet the supposed victims wouldn't talk.

What nastiness were you seeing in hiro's public behavior? I said it was a fucked up situation, but from where I stood, there was no clear bad guy or good guy. Maybe if you were working closely with her at the time, you had access to different information. The average person didn't, and she used pretty harsh tactics, spamming his real name everywhere.

I don't expect you to tell your sources since you seem fine to make the claim for them, but I'm getting curious about this evidence.  :orly:

More than one person,   Jack, but , on reflection , the term  "a lot" was pushing it.  I've certainly  seen one substantiated case , which really puzzled me ; also, TBH,  i'd got the impression  that   Pyraxis had some hard evidence .  But if it's only Hiro (plus her misgivings  about Calloway's family relationships)  I don't really count any of that. Otherwise , it's a few vague mutterings that might  be based on mistaken identity, misubderstanding or whatever.  (I've been called a bully myself, on occasion,  so I know how easy it is for people to get the wrong impression. Actually, those occasions could nearly all be traced back to actual bullies  making pre-emptive strikes by quietly spreading poison  by PM . I wouldn't be surprised if  Calloway had similar problems)

It's not like I've been rooting around for dirt on Calloway, with a view to calling her out. Far from it.  I just stumbled on some stuff, and i definitely don't want to call her out.  I'm pretty sure there's some kind of  explanation., irrespective of wehether I ever get to know that explanatibn or not.    I might go over details with  Calloway, in private, if she wantedt, but i'm not about to try to demonise her, nor resurrect  old issues that woul;ld only cause pain for all concerrned. (I checked back with source about that) . I sympathise with all protagonists on this one. 

Here's what I don't get: why does this come up now? Everyone involved is gone. :-\

Odeon, I think you  mght have been talking to Pyraxis there? In the  instance I'm refering  to, it's not that everybody's gone, so I'm being extremely careful not to offer any clues  re. identity.   This post has been extremely difficult for me, because I keep scratching out a good half of what I want say, for that reason.

Pyraxis was posting  to back me up, presumably. That's why I don't like quibbling with her on this.  But I think it reflects far  too badly on Calloway if you only hear Pyraxis non-representative view about the Hiro affair. The board were aware of her views at the time, and she was in a clear minority.  I don't see any value in raking that over again.  Not least because Pyraxis last post about it contained a detail that I'd clean forgotten  in the very-long-interim, so we'd be walking on very  shaky ground.

I'd like to add that not only does nobody (that I know of) want to make a public issue of this; the victiim  waasn't even attacking Calloway behind her back, not even naming Calloway, just discussing  own resulting problems. Calloway's name emerged from the records, to my immense surprise.

That's one reason why I responded to McJ's enquiry like I did.  Mc J can be one heckova a bully when he's sure he's in the right. It occured to me that this thread might wind up looking  like some kinfd of bullies' club , from a certain perspective.    (heck the whole damned board looks like a bullies club at times, doesn't it?) So, all those glowing character references that emerged following my post, were exactly what I hoped to see. So as to put things into their proper perspective, and demonstate the real reason why we all miss Calloway so much.

I put that in bold because that's the one good thing that's emerged from my post, and I think it's important.  I had other motivations (as stated) , but I'm far from  sure it was such a good idea from other points-of-view.

I'm beginning to think that , in all likelihood, no substantial allegations are gonna emerge from the woodwork, now , or ever, because there are no substantial allegations, only instances of Calloway hitting back  too hard (debatably) .   At present I'm feling relieved about that...and somewhat embarrassed for inadvertently blowing it up bigger than it actually is.  But hey! I shall be all-too-happy to stay embarrassed, if that's how it goes.

Yeah, this. I'm fine with dropping it, it's all long past. I mainly continued because Walkie was asking me direct questions.

Well I've said all i wanted to say, so I don't mind hushing at all.  I think proof is irrelevant, unless I was actually trying to demonise her. Like I said, all those posts backing her up were the main response that I personally  wanted out of this.  And am I trying to say "you're all wrong. Look closely at this" No I'm not.   I'm saying something happened that I can;'t explain, that's all. But , lthen, uckily, nobody's demanding explanationsm, are they?  All the people who were actually involved are either absent from the board or else trying to put it behind them.

A load of people have stated that Calloway is the last peron to bully anyone. I agree.  If there are any ugly rumours to the opposite doing the rounds that should give the recipents pause for thought, shouldn't it? However, given that Pyraxis was the only person to jump in and disagree (and from her own observation, not from rumours)  i don't suppose that ugly rumours are much of an issue, if they're any issue at all

Not only is proof irrelevant,in the face of all that,  Jack, it would inescapably raise a whole load of other shit that seems to have been mercifully forgotten .Stirring it up would really hurt people, and not just Calloway. You have no idea what you're suggesting and I'm not gonna explain it  to you, not even in private, because that would just be  gossip.

Somebody suggested that maybe someone impersonated Callaway? Well, maybe, I don't know. That's one way of majking sense of things.  But , really, I don't see any point  in investigating it, not unless Calloway comes back, tells us that was case,  abnd wants it investigated. I think the rest of us are totally happy  just to assume that  there's an innocent explanation. And even if we weren't totally happy with that, what's it to us? Does our curiosity justify spreading other peoples' dirty washing  all over the board? No, it doesn't.

This isn't a call out. You're applying the wrong mindset. You're dead  wrong to say that I should offer proof or drop it. I should drop it  , sure, but I shouldn't be offering you proof, either way.

Why are you guys making up these bad paraphrases of what I  said, and leaving out all my numerous caveats, to the effect of I  don't believe she's that sort of person, etc? Because accurate reporting isn't fun? If you want to have a go at me, PM me,  create a new thread, call me out, please do anything other than turn this into the " Walkie is makiing up nasty lies about  Calloway" thread.

There;'s a lot of nice stuff about Calloway been posted, lately, loads of votes of confidence, and you're just covering it up. You think Calloway will thank you for that? (supposing she comes back) And you think she can't decide for herself what to make of my posts without you simplifying them down for her?

  I think this whole thing got wrapped up  pretty well, in the end.  I think I managed (with help from other posters) to reduce it all down to one issue  that can't be explasined (nor posted) .  Anything else I was going on, now  looks to me likes Walkie mishearing or misunderstanding Pyraxis (in the course of various prior  conversations)  or else a bit of casual bluster that nobody cares to pursue.   As I fully admitted.  And I'm pretty damned glad, if embarassed, because one uncharacteristic  thing is  easirer to take, and easier to explain  than a rash of 'em.

Now please take this "Have a go at Walkie" shit somewhere else, and let this thread get back to being all about calloway.

Sorry. Yeah, I know, but I sometimes accidentally mis-spell stuff due to hearing the words the words in my head, rather than visualising. I'm making those kind of  mistakes  increasingly often these days (probably because my brain is increasingly fucked)  but usually manage to catch and correct before posting (or at least not too long after) . If anybody's noticed that nearly all my posts are edited, that's the reason, usually.

If I'm attempting anything remotely resembling a rapid-fire interchange, the edits don't happen, or else miss far  too much

given that i've known her from before I2 existed, and given that she'd always taken the role of unmasking  the bullies, in my experience, i  found this unbelievable. But i was passed links to some such incidents.  couldn't disagree. :(
