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

That is surprising since Starbucks are generally clean places.

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!!

[elye]

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!! grumble grumble....five-ninths of fahrenheit minus thirty-two....BAH! I can't derive anything as needed.....except maybe a gerund or two....

Exactlyt!!!!

Only have to remember two points:

0^oC = 32^oF

100^oC = 212^oF

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

*giggle giggle* What Fun!

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

Thank you for translating for me!

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.....

[tom]

Oops triple!!!

[tom]

Oops double

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

Far cry from Fermat's Last Theorem!!!

W/ the Y-intercept handed to you (0^oC = 32^oF), 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 . .. .

OMG!! Heath Ledger DIED!!!

I just saw that....

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)

Yesssss . . . I like me pints, too.

I just saw that too.

Drug overdose they are saying. What is going on, just a few days ago Brad Renfro died........

One of my favorite movies of his was A Knight's Tale

[tom]

Oops! Meant to say this several posts ago . ..

OMG we have snow on even the eastern hills here!! I'm not sure if I've EVER seen snow that low in SJ!! For a sec I felt like I was in SLC.

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

...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...

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???

[dlp252]

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

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

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.

I'll see your emoticol addition, and raise you 10 Special Items....

huh?

Is Em(s)illy making things up or are S.I.s just another thing I don't get to play wif until I use an actual computer?

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

[elye]

Ahhhh...what a waste of a great line....yep, SPECIAL ITEMS are here, on all our computers. They include spoilers, code boxes and acronyms. That was quite a wager I threw out at you, Ptaum...

[blueeyedmanda]

I just saw about Heath Ledger too....very sad. I loved him in 10 things I hate about you....Died too young....as soon as John said they found him dead at 28 I said I wonder about drugs....

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

What's a

spoiler

?

Just today, Gian-knit inadvertantly showed me how to do ^{superscript!!!!}

Sillies we are watching American Idol...boy there are some strange people on there....

BTW when the auditions came to Philly I was thinking of going to try out, even though I cannot sing....

[DingoGirl]

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. Pooped in the exact same spot three times, all atop each other, rather like a Poop Cairn.

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

'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.

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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!

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (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?

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

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW - SHOCKING about Heath Ledger........way too sad.......

[blueeyedmanda]

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!
