OMGosh...there's a Starbucks restroom near me that would make anyone shudder! :lol: Egads it was bad.

I'll take this one Pedro.

C=5/9(F-32)

Or just google to find a site that'll do it for you.

The other way it's F=9/5C + 32

<tom actually never remembers the equations so just derives them again as needed> (bet THAT sounds scary to all but Janet!!)

Okay, you mathy guys...

My way is a lot easier!! So there!! :Pgrumble grumble....five-ninths of fahrenheit minus thirty-two....BAH! I can't derive anything as needed.....except maybe a gerund or two.... :rolleyes::lol:

Exactlyt!!!!

Only have to remember two points:

0oC = 32oF

100oC = 212oF

(That's freezing and boiling pts of water for all you nonMathS types).

:lol::lol::lol:

*giggle giggle* What Fun!

Yeah, all other Starbucks restrooms have been good...this one not so much.

Thank you for translating for me! :lol:

What I DO know for sure, and I am especially reminded of it when I look at Janet's summary, is that the U.S. is crazy for not switching to metric, like the rest of the world...C'mon, guys, it's all tens! Multiples of ten...how marvelous! Now THAT'S math I can learn to love....or at least, tolerate..... <_<

Heehee it's your basic y = mx + b people!!

Far cry from Fermat's Last Theorem!!!

W/ the Y-intercept handed to you (0oC = 32oF), all you need is the slope of a straight line!!!

Janet, I second your "*giggle giggle* What Fun!"

Yeah, all other Starbucks restrooms have been good...this one not so much.

Ack!! That can't be the one next to WhFds can it? Uhhh downtown Campbell?

Hmmmm there's prob 3 or 4 in betw . .. .

Yes & long ago scientists and engineers etc DID switch.

But the Public doesn't have to do the math & make sure the units all cancel out properly!!!!

I likes me miles, inches, gallons, pints & pounds!!!!! (Tho I did need to learn, long ago, that 1 oz = 28.3 grams, but that's a topic for another forum)

Well, as an artist, all I can get excited about is the straight line...and a sloping one even better... :lol:

...Wait...Fermat's Last Theorem...I remember having to execute passionate, spontaneous gesture drawings embodying this proposition...

If an integer n is greater than 2, then the equation an + bn = cn has no solutions in non-zero integers a, b, and c.

Quite an assignment. The archtecture majors were in heaven... :rolleyes:

What/Where is Big Sur? I wanna go!

Now how'd I miss this?

It's a mostly unspoiled part of coastal central CA - prob 80-90% of what's betw Pebble Beach and Hearst Castle.

"Where the Mountains meet the Sea"

Bet you've seen pix!!

I'll bet a 2-month 5-emoticon addition to your emoticol's limit. Of course, as a zero-sum situation, I'd be depleting my stores by 5 per post.

We on???

Last count, I think there are 8 within a short distance of my place, lol. This one is on Winchester (there are about 3 on Winchester, lol)...it's possible I hit it on a bad day, and this WAS a few years ago...I dunno, never been back there. :P

That was a cute movie, 10 Things I Hate About You

I also liked him in The Four Feathers, a movie that didn't get much attention.

The latest speculation is that it was an accidental overdose from mixing Ambien with an over the counter sleeping aid :o

Hmmmm, guess we can't be writen' smack about Annie, now, can we? (And by "we", I mean YOU!!)

Annie, I have decided, has FINICKY, high-maintenance bowels....every morning, at the cabin, she would not poop until we walked up the road a bit. Would NOT go outside and poop......HAS to be ambulating. :blink: Pooped in the exact same spot three times, all atop each other, rather like a Poop Cairn. :lol:

BUT!!!!!!! (there's always a but) . .. .who built the fIre on your last camping trip????

:lol: 'twas built by a man, not by me. That part was good.....

Julie - the shy bowels, um, did their bidness todya....and clogged the toilet. :ph34r:

And thank you, Annie and I had such a lovely time....I am wondering when I have to take Stinker's photo out of my av? :( Gawd, we miss her......her ashes are ready, I am picking them up tomorrow, and then must select an urn, there is going to be a rather sizeable Stinker Shrine in the dining room niche. :lol:

I finally found my Mastercard ("priceless") little ditty I wrote about Stinker after one of her surgeries.......may post it, wanted to do it before but could not locate it......will it be weird?

Julie - - I REALLY want you to ask if you can let that sweet dog in your house...pleeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He will be SO happy to rest his old, aching, cold bones on a soft bed in teh house.....I HATE THOSE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry:

Didn't notice your post count, Susie...if you are close to a big turnover, just start posting a whole bunch of "That's interesting"s in many scattered threads. That should jump start'er....

What/Where is Big Sur? I wanna go!

:lol: Well, yes! good idea, and perhaps make it more.........fluid - like..........

BIG SUR is only the most magic place in all the world.......I will explain it to you later........

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ate a chicken bowl from El Pollo. Tom - - I can't find out ANY information about the rice - - I THINK IT HAS GLUTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o (crap - fluids will be flowing tomorrow if that is the case)

My top 3 nastiest places....Walmart, JC Penney, and Big Lots.....all I can say is peoples arses explode and it is all over the place....Gross!!

oh dear gawd......

I had to use the bathroom at Chipotle yesterday in Montery - in a big hurry - used the men's - -good Lord - - HEINOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rivers of Wee everywhere - - and HOW HARD is it to flush a toilet? :huh:

Hehehehehe Pseu-zee, I just saw some bank's comm'l (where's Nikki? I was gonna add the alternate 'advert') using Secret Agent Man :lol:

:lol: I saw that too! OMG - - whilst in Big Sur I was chatty w/ some locals - lovely kooks, all of them - - and we talked about JR. I would look closely at them and say, you will not be-LEEVE whom I dated. They would try to guess.......and finally I would say - think, angry little man......no one got it......but when they found out who it was - each told me a story of His Royal Crankiness...........great fun... *snicker*

I SKIPPED THE HELL OVER your fahrenheit conversion nonsense................ <fingers in ears>

la la la la la la la...........I.........can't......hear you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :blink:

Last year I walked into the womans bathroom at work and someone left a log on the floor next to the toliet. I can see some people having runny accidents, I have been there, where I almost my!issed and all...But a log....sheesh! and these are women!

What bothers me is this is not a public bathroom in which you think, the rest of the hospital does not use it, visitors and such, it is off the beaten path and hard to find. There are only a few of us in the area to use this bathroom....

Someone is a piggy!

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
