[partly OT] a little competition?? by
Pat[_4_]
I'm getting good enough at ChainRxn to want to brag and issue challenges to
beat me! So far none of my Facebook friends (that I know of) have accepted
the challenge. You're missing out on a great game - not much clicking
involved.
I only started playing a few days ago and today I hit a new...

For Christmas, my parents were given a Mensa calender with a puzzle for each

A toy shop prices toys on the whim of the owner:
A doll is $12, a kite $15, a skateboard $34, and a ring toss $24. How much

[OT][Geek] Transit of Venus by
Yowie
Just reminding the geeks out there that the transit of Venus is tomorrow
(the 8th of June)
No-one alive has seen one, because the last one happened in 1882!
Its how Australia got discovered by Captain Cook in 1770 - he was trying to
calculate the distance between teh earth and the sun by timing...

[OT][catslaves] Unsubscribed? by

Today I removed almost all the e-mail addresses on the Catslaves mailing
list that remained unresponsive to the repeated requests to "check in".
I may have made a few mistakes and deleted you accidently (oops!). If you
are find you are no longer getting e-mail from the catslaves list and/or

[OT][BW] Jasper chips by
Yowie
We have a fox terrier by the name of Jasper. He came to us in the summer
of 2001 from the fox terrier rescue program. For those of you, who are
unfamiliar with this type of adoption, imagine taking in a 10 year old
child whom you know nothing about and committing to doing your best to
be a good...

[ot]US Nat'l Hurricane Center by

I posted this link in another thread, but thought people not reading
that thread might find this useful too. Here's a link to the US's
National Hurricane Center's Tropical Prediction Center. Lot's of
information is available, including current information, updates, and
path projections. I've found...

[OT]The Cruelest Cut by
Yowie
No. Not for Joel, for me.
I've grown my hair for 6 solid years, getting only a yearly trim to be rid
of the dead ends right at the bottom. I'm very proud of my long, wavey,
natural coloured hair. I can do the "lady Godiva" thing with it, its that
long it can cover up my boobs. I love my long hair...

[OT]PC Game recommendation by
Yowie
Have nearly got the Christmas shopping done, but I'm stuck for a gift for my
mother.
I thought perhaps a computer game.
So, can anyone think of a game that has lots of problem solving, fairly
simple (if any) hand-eye coordination parts, and has repeatable playability.
My mother, like many of...

[OT]ish. Kinda rambling, philosophical, bleh by

The wheel turns, and I find myself look down the barrel at being 40. Those
of you who have long past this significant milestone will no doubt throw
back your heads and laugh 'why, young lady, you are just a pup, a whelping,
a mere whipper snapper", but actually, I am into the second phase of...

[OT]Back from Vacation by
Yowie
Just a quick note to let you know that we're back from not-so-sunny Cairns
and I will be uploading the photos shortly.
Even though the weather wasn't sunny, that wasn't such a bad thing as it
kept it cooler. We had lots of fun anyway, and what is a rainforest without
rain anyway?
I don't think...

[OT]: Appreciation luncheon by

I was one of the people honored at the annual appreciation luncheon today
because I have been on the faculty for 40 years (yes! that's right! *40
years*). I usually don't enjoy luncheons and banquets of this type, but
this one was exceptionally nice. The meal was wonderful (starting with...

[OT] [PW] [Long] America Bashing by

OK, this is probably totally inappropriate for this group, but other rants
are allowed and this one has been building for some time now.
I'm getting tired of America bashing. I'm getting tired of Americans
agreeing that we should be bashed.
Are we, as a nation, perfect? Of course not. Have we...

"What is better, a dolphin or a cupcake?"
Why my The Yowlet felt it necessary to wake me up with such a quandry at 5am
this morning, I do not know, but clearly it was bothering him.
I couldnt give him an answer he was satisfied with, so he didn't go back to
sleep.

He's not here yet.
I"ve been in the hospital since 3pm this afternoon. They made us wait a fair
while because there was a lady in a bad way after giving birth here, so I
can't blame them, but the prostaglandin gel, which starts the inducing
process was supposed to be applied at 4pm but actually...

yup, me again, witht he insomnia. Ok, the insomnia started about 3am and
hasn't really let off. I've thrown up once, and as a consequence I now have
water cracker crumbs in my bed. They do make for an "interesting" lie down.
The panic has set in. I go to the obs later today, and I am pretty...
