. . . problem is, they're are NOT the best readers. Just think of how they would try to pronounce all those different spellings of Tghawm.

But hey, you'd be providing that ever-desirable teaching moment, as well as the opportunity for those Cubs to practise their famous motto: "Always be ready!" One never knows when one will need to pronounce or spell such names as Ptaoughymnmn, or such words as eigen vector or dominatrix. Janet, this is bound to get you back in as assistant den leader - - perhaps put you right in the leadership role!

[elye]

Are either of you gonna offer an explanation so I can stop trying to figure out what they mean by 'decompose a matrix'???

Gad....I did not even know that "decompose" could be an active verb, let alone how in hell one would do it to a matrix.....

[Jestgar]

That was pretty much my reaction

[nikki-uk]

There was a newbie reading earlier........poor thing

You know - I LUUUURVE the ever new ways of spelling Tom (GADS that looks just plain)....no one even mentions it....it's just accepted.

I know, and the odd newbie that stumbles on here must think, "Whoa...that poor guy with a name like that! What kind of parent would DO that to their child?!"

[elye]

Hey, Ptaouoyghmnmn!! It worked!! There's Susie!

[DingoGirl]

OMG - Ptauoghoiuoiehghhlmmmmmmmmmmm summoned me and here I am!!!!!!!!!!!

I know I'm new around here, but how long have you been on Effexor? My DD used to be on that....and several others at different times. Many of the ones she tried worked at first, but after a while became ineffective. She hated to keep changing and was sure nothing would ever work. She's been doing really well for over a year, but I don't know what it is she's been on. I'll have to ask.

BTW, what kind of jewelry do you make?

Hi Lisa, and others of you who have asked about my med - -

you know.....I think I've been on this Effexor for - between two and three years, maybe longer?!! It could be almost four years.

I do think it's time for a change..........I feel SOOOOOOOOOOO tired and heavy and - even as though breathing is a struggle - that is just part of what physical depression feels like to me. So - I have an appt. tomorrow w/ doctor. I am so relieved, because I can just SO tell that........thing's aren't right. They're certainly not as bad as they CAN get - - but I'm not going to let things get that far.

When all I want to do is sleep and sleep........and I start thinking that I am worthless and things are way too hard (and worse thoughts than that - I'll spare the details).....I must pay attention.

Sarah - I have been on 150 mg. of Effexor.......which used to work. I am going to switch to someting entirely different as there are some side effects on this drug that I'm tired of.

So - had lunch w/ Kissey today at our fave Mexican restaurant. He is so precious - a tremendous gift to my life and very supportive. Doesn't need me to be anything right now except around him.

After I stopped laughing, and regarded Gus who was trotting happily in her wake, saying to himself, "for Gawd's sake...it's a bloody train! Save this for a groundhog", I yelled at her to come back, which she did. Promptly. Too phunny....

Em - I love the visual of the big, leggy poodle chasing the train

Amanda! You are about to make what perhaps could be judged a big flipover (4500)....Perhaps we get skin irritations at the smaller flipovers once we get high enough, and the fluid deluges at the thousand-marks. Susie, did you hit a 500-flipover when you went to the cabin? These rules could change throughout the duration of this thread, so we must be ready. Perhaps King Peter has been briefed on such matters....

OMG - do rashes count? why - I should think yes - - the poison oak rash really oozes after a while. certainly fluids with that........

dear gawd - I see that I'm approaching 4000 posts..................... HOLD TIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahh! Both my kids have experienced this - - very contagious, and known as "Fifth's Disease", and I cannot remember why....

Amanda! this rash............Fifth's Disease.......prolly because you might get this rash after a regular and constant consumption of fifths of vodka er sumfin?

SARAH - Ezra on steroids..............zoigs!!!!!!!!!! The benadryl is a bit fatigue-ing, thank God.

Gads, trying to understand principle component analysis and Eigen vectors. I'm pretty sure if you place the word "theoretical" in front of any subject, that subject should be considered only "theoretically" important. (As in, "I'm theoretically working today").

STOP THAT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmmm . . . yes, this could be a good way of getting out of being assistant den leader next year . . . problem is, they're are NOT the best readers. Just think of how they would try to pronounce all those different spellings of Tghawm.

absolutely brilliant idea..............

<ahem>

Ps-ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww- pzeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!

Y^oooooOOOOOhoooooooooo

:lol: LURVE the spelling

There was a newbie reading earlier........poor thing

:lol: dat's funny!!!!!!!!!!!!

sillies - I am goign to be a Loser and succumb to the desire to be on the couch.

I want my energy back.

[Mtndog]

Oh SusieQ- Pseuzzzzzzeeeeeeeeee and Siouxie- I want you (ALL?) to feel better soon. :wub:

Bev, are you a right handed, slighty wavy hair mathS hater??????????

I am a right-handed, slightly wavy haired math uhm........not a hater, not a lover, somewhere in the middle?

BEV!!! GoodtaSeeya! (guttermind intact)

Tri-tip for who? You? Me? Not me . .. .haven't retried beef in easily over a year.

Hey . .....maybe I SHOULD!!!

:confusedaboutwhichfaceisdroolyface-face:

We could have the Tri-tip Trifecta!!!!! YUMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!! Must eat tri-tip before our vegan friend from san Francisco comes

It is WAY too hot where you and Psiouxsie live- I insist you move to Massachusetts toot sweet!

Oh my Goodness Sarah!!!! Poor Ez . . . at least it doesn't seem to be bothering him too much. When my son was on prednisone and bouncing off the walls at the docs office once, I mentioned in passing to another mother that he was going to survive the illness but I was going to have to kill him because of his behavioUr. She remarked "that's how I feel when my kids are on steriods" . . . and she didn't even know he was on it . . . Yep, get that boy to the allergist, stat!!! It took me two months to get in to see one so make an appointment soon!!!

Oh sarah- this kid is a trooper!!!!!! Poor little guy!

Well???

Are either of you gonna offer an explanation so I can stop trying to figure out what they mean by 'decompose a matrix'???

do i have to get the whip out...

Uhm...judging by your new av, yes- GET THE WHIP OUT BABY!!!!!!!!!!!! fabio wants you to use it on him STAT!!!!!!!!

Must go build ark- Steve Carrell and Morgan Freeman have shown up. It is going to rain here for the next week!!!!!!!! Fine by me.......easier to nap when you don't feel like you are missing a sunny day! Susie- Come on over!!!!!!!!!! Bring that cute dingo (Angus's nickname went from Dingus to Dingy to Dingy Ding Ding Ding- she'll fit right in!!)

OK....here's the bad news. I found what I THINK is a tick bite (yes- bull's eye rash).......but you won't believe where......left boob!!!!!!! what, did the little bacteria sucker crawl in my bra? PERVERT! I see doctor tomorrow first thing.....uhm...at least I'm on antibiotics???????

[psawyer]

So I had the notebook at the store today, but for a prolonged period mid-day I couldn't seem to get anything done.

That might make a neat avatar.

BEV!!!!!!!! This is not ok!!!!!! Make sure you take a picture to document the bulls eye rash (yes, weird given the location!)

Happy you are seeing your doc tomorrow! Keep us updated, ok?

[jerseyangel]

OMG Bev--not another tick!!!!!

They just love you--the nasty little buggers....I guess at least all the antibiotics you're on will kill anything before it gets a chance to get a foothold. If there's one thing you don't need..... You poor thing.

Well guys, I might not be around as much for the next week and a half or so.....I'm letting Matt take my laptop with him on his trip starting tomorrow. I can use his computer, but probably won't be on as much.

Susie, I hope that you can get the antidepressant figured out....whether you need a different dose or another med altogether. Do those possibly lose their effectivness after taking for a long period of time? I don't know, just tossing it out there. One thing to take into consideration is that your chemistry has no doubt changed in the last few years on the diet--maybe something different would be more appropriate now.

Love how your computer's stalled on this site

It certainly would

[Jestgar]

sigh

I just had to tell my boss that I might not be able to do my lab work very effectively because of the pain in my wrists (it didn't all go away with the new Edna). horrifying and depressing to have to say such a thing.

but...

maybe he'll get me a technician :hopefulface:

<insert huge rant about aging, intolerances, food and Ednas>

sigh

[tom]

Grrrrrrrr .. . .just back from errands to five <count 'em, five> stores, primarily prompted by wanton want of a frigid Redbridge on a HOT (what? no flamey font?) day - and both WhFds & BevMo are OUT!!!!!!!!

While extremely hot for SJ - 25 or 30 deg F over avg for mid-May - it only felt like a nice day in Phx.

Well???

Are either of you gonna offer an explanation so I can stop trying to figure out what they mean by 'decompose a matrix'???

do i have to get the whip out...

Licorice whip? Wet rice noodle?

<Orange Whip? Anyone? Orange Whip?>

I don't recall any decomposed matrices and it sounds more towards YOUR biological specialty. (Kind of a rotten trick there, I know )

Sorry DoMyMatrix dominatrix, yer on yer own.

. .. .their famous motto: "Always be ready!"

Hehehe teehee giggle-chortle-HA!!!

Stick to peddling poison cookies, girl scout, it's Be Prepared

<isn't it? better be, wif me spouting off in such a way>

having SUFFERED decades of 3-letter plain, pedestrian, plebian one-psyllable pspelling, I'm downright tickled by it.

[Jestgar]

gonna go home and drink eat chips make nachos

sigh

not brush my teeth

[elye]

Oh SusieQ- Pseuzzzzzzeeeeeeeeee and Siouxie- I want you (ALL?) to feel better soon.

Yes! We ALL do, Susie! You'll be on the right road tomorrow, I'm sure of it, after your doc appointment....

OK....here's the bad news. I found what I THINK is a tick bite (yes- bull's eye rash).......but you won't believe where......left boob!!!!!!!

Oh, Bev! I'm so sorry about this crappy development! But yes, the already installed antibiotics will help, to be sure....

...Typical of our Bev to be lookin' on the bright side.....

That might make a neat avatar.

King Peter, that is a terrific pic, and it absolutely MUST become your av. And of course, the screen is stuck in Sillyville....

but...

maybe he'll get me a technician :hopefulface:

Maybe it'll be a tall, dark and gorgeous technician!! Uh....is this possible, in your experience?

Grrrrrrrr .. . .just back from errands to five <count 'em, five> stores, primarily prompted by wanton want of a frigid Redbridge on a HOT (what? no flamey font?) day - and both WhFds & BevMo are OUT!!!!!!!!

This reminds me of a question: Last night DH found a Japanese rice beer at our local beer store called Sapporo. The clerk told us it was gluten-free so he bought a six-pack. I did a bit of reading on it, and the jury is clearly out. It seems to employ barley, but it is altered (?) in the fermenting or cooking process (again, ?) to the point where it should be harmless to us. Anyone know anything? Our Scott says that we should proceed with caution.

Oracle Peter?

May start a new thread on this.....

Hehehe teehee giggle-chortle-HA!!!

Stick to peddling poison cookies, girl scout, it's Be Prepared

Ha! Typical me, using too many words....

At least I had the idea correct......

BEV!!!!!!!! This is not ok!!!!!! Make sure you take a picture to document the bulls eye rash (yes, weird given the location!)

Happy you are seeing your doc tomorrow! Keep us updated, ok?

Will do! Tried to take a pic (uhm...about 8 tries) myself today. Unfortunately, another part of the boob seems to dominate the photo "Honey, can you come here and take a picture of my boob?"

They just love you--the nasty little buggers....

NO PATTI- don't leave us!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know- and I'm the one who NEVER gets mosquito bites, bee sttings. GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:lol: Peeeeeeterrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

You have no idea!! You finally revealed the key to the mystery for me This is a real lightbulb moment for me I had no idea who or what Phta..u..g..h..m was or how to pronounce it

The sillies are letting their secrets out!

[DingoGirl]

Oh my God....this could be Angus's life!!!!!! Look familiar Open Original Shared Link

OMG why did you show me that site? could waste............hours on this.

Lisa

:lol:

revealing our secrets? hmmmmm..........no secrets. Just.........crazy, nonsensical things taht we keep referring to and from which we derive our scatological simple-minded pleasure.

so glad you were brave enough to join the madness. You fit right in.

[tom]

What a sweetheart

How lucky IS this girl to find such a guy right in Phrezno??

How'd he ever get to Phrez w/ the rest of the family throughout the Bay Area?

It is WAY too hot where you and Psiouxsie live- I insist you move to Massachusetts toot sweet!

Ah but SJ's only HOT hot for a few days.

(Angus's nickname went from Dingus to Dingy to Dingy Ding Ding Ding- she'll fit right in!!)

Well guys, I might not be around as much for the next week and a half or so.....I'm letting Matt take my laptop with him on his trip starting tomorrow. I can use his computer, but probably won't be on as much.

Ohhhhhh sure ya will!!!!

Sapporo?????????????????????????

I don't think it's any closer to gluten-free than Bud & Michelob are, which are also made of rice instead of wheat.

I don't think healthfood-store-guy knows wtf he's talking about, tho I HAVE heard similar claims before.

P.S. I had to read "beef w/ sushi" 4 or 5x before I realized how close R & F are on the keybd!

[elye]

Sapporo?????????????????????????

I don't think it's any closer to gluten-free than Bud & Michelob are, which are also made of rice instead of wheat.

That's disappointing. Tastes great, it's 5%, and it's cheap....

Should have known - - too good to be true!
