Well, there is that possibility but I'm trying to be optimistic :P

Good luck to you I wish! May the red colour with you be!

Just finished the 3645th version on an animatin (follow the blue link in my signature, if you're curious) and now deservedly... am allowed to clean he flat with the vacuum-cleaner...

Thank you

They are definitely germinating: several in the first jar, one in the last, and I'm not sure about the middle one. This is exciting

egg floating in salt experiment with oldest daughter.

How much salt is required in a cup of water to make an egg float is what we are about to find out.

unrelatedly my fingers are waxy white!

Ouch!! I hope you are doing better now.

I have never been able to grow anything in my life, and caused the untimely demise of several otherwise healthy plants

I'm like that. The only thing that seems to do well, for me, is dwarf fruit trees in large pots. I used rock to fill the outside edges of the yard and placed all my trees on top of the rocks.

My new ones should have tangelos this year.

Right click on an empty space on your monitor's screen.
Select "Personalize"
Select "Display settings"
Move the Resolution Slider to maximum.

The entire box should now be visible, and you should be able to re-adjust the font size, after which you can repeat the procedure to return your monitor's resolution to the desired setting.

Yep, I tried that too (and moving it to various place in between

Just got back from the Sarah P. Duke gardens - it's in the 60's here & sunny today - so had to get outside. Not much green there (except the ferns) but nice to stroll about and watch the ducks.

*yawn*

I spent Friday and part of Saturday hovering over the bedside of sick son, patting his fevered brow and telling him to get over it, already. Sunday, I spent asleep (sigh). Today, I have a SHEDload of work to do to make up for not being here Friday and only here in body (not spirit) on Thursday

Do you imply, that in America this is an obligation? Now that is something I can't belive! Everyone should feel honored whenever he/she is allowed to even *touch* a vacuum-cleaner!
We had grert 30 minutes together and I'm already looking forward to next week!

It's quite easy actually. Just stop your medications.

If yo're not on any - take mine.

Going to sleep now. Got another exam tomorrow. This time on the other side of the barricade.

If it comes out as good as the last one did, I'll post the recipe........basically you make a 'crust' with cooked spaghetti mixed w/ parmeson cheese, eggs and butter, spread in a large dish, cover w/ 1 cup of cottage cheese, and then covered all over with your favorite spaghetti sauce.

Let sit in fridge for at least two hours, (can be made night before even!) then bake for one hour covered, taken out, covered with mozzarella cheeser, baked some more.

Let sit for about 15-20 minutes, then cut in slices. Kinda like lasagne only spaghetti.........
