... ... On my first trip to England, an Englishman taught me an easy way to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit in my head. Double the Celsius figure, subtract 10% and add 32. In other words, take 44 C, double it (88), subtract 10% (88 - 9 = 79, add 32 (79 + 32 = 111. If you want to be more precise, the algebraic formulae for conversions are C = (5/9)*(F-32) and F = (9*C/5)+32 -- MatSav |

If you want to be more precise, the algebraic formulae for conversions are C = (5/9)*(F-32) and F = (9*C/5)+32 Doubling and then subtracting 10% is the same as multiplying by 9, but is simpler to do in one's head. When all I care about is a ballpark figure, I just double it and add 32. For low temps, it's not too far off. Doesn't work for fevers, though. -- Joyce God's original plan was to hang out in a garden with some naked vegetarians. -- Seen on a wall poster |

I also wonder about Hopitus who has been MIA for quite a long time. Anyone know? Jill Hopitus is fine - she is active on FB. Haven't heard from MLB - I am worried. Does anyone have her address? Hi Mishi & Jill, and EVERYONE else. I hope you don't mind me dropping by to say a 'friendly' hello after a 3 or more year absence. . I'm NOT active on FB. I do have MLB's e mail address, but I'm NOT going to post it online here or anywhere. I'll send her an e mail and see if she is OK. I hope she is, she is SO sweet. I'm sorry to hear about Tweed having surgery AGAIN The last thing I heard about her was Purrs for Boyfie on RPCC and IIRC, isn't Boyfie Tweed's cat? Tweed is a very nice woman who has been through a LOT Seems Boyfie got injured badly, somehow, but is OK now thank goodness and the purring of the cats on RPCC . Our 4 cats , Mosey, PookyCat, Sqweex and Pipps are all fine, and so is my Mister of 37&/1/2 years. . Poor Mosey, who is 11 and 1/2 years old had his last fang removed and 4 more teeth as well, and we got charged an arm and both my crappy knees and now I'm now pondering a metal knee replacement recall . EGAD/SBOSH(Scottish) I've heard how bad the metal can be and I do NOT want to get my knees replaced AGAIN! I won't pay a blasted thing IF they do get replaced! I'll be 69 years old next month. Well, there are lawyers/to the Brits, 'solicitor's ' but I have NO clue if my statue of limitations on that has run out since I had them replaced in 2001. I'll have to make some phone calls and see what's up with that. Sure would be nice to get a LARGE settlement, since the crappy orthopedist lied and so forth. Life can be SO weird sometimes, but then again, I realize and acknowledge that there are those MUCH worse off than I am. So instead of complaining, I count my blessings. I just spent about 20 minutes deleting ALL the political crap off here. I've been reading (the late) Lilian Jackson Braun The Cat Who....Books, over and over and also those by Rita Mae Brown and Sneaky Pie Brown (her cat) Great books, all of them. We've been having a rather mild Spring, and only got about 3 inches of snow this past winter. I feel SO bad for those are who are living in the artic vortex Geez! I keep in touch by e mail with some of these really nice folks from here, there and everywhere , and they are suffering. In Australia, the temps are in the triple digits Celsius I think you mean Fahrenheit. 100 degrees Celsius would be 212 F. Joy You're right, Joy, but I have an e mail friend in Australia, who tells me it is 110 degrees Fahrenheit. They the UK and other places like Canada, go by Celsius, which my computer won't convert to Too hot for me. The temperature at 10 am PDT near Seattle is 43 degrees Fahrenheit. Kyla I wish you all well, and I send loving blanket purrs and prayers for those who want them Take care, Kyla ~~~~~~~~ Yes, you can convert Celcius to Fahrenheit (or the reverse) on your computer. Go to the Internet, type in whichever direction you want to convert, and it will give you a number of locations where this can easily be done. There is even a table available that already lists a large number of conversions. Likewise, you can do the same thing for grams to pounds, metric to inches, etc. MaryL |
