So, while we are all basking in unseasonably warm weather, it is hard to realize that there are less than four days remaining until the start of this year's Open Original Shared Link

Two days ago, our dryer would not drain....it was half-full of water until DH banged around down there for a hour or so, and then it finally emptied. I rolled over 4500 posts yesterday......And this morning, our dishwasher is not draining. :huh:

:lol:

DH banged around in the kitchen this am, but it still sits with dirty water in the bottom.

So...Ehm....what it Suk-a-toe-ah? Never heard of it....and what does it have to do with trig? Inkwiring Minds Whant to Noe :D

Gaaaaaahhhhh.. . . . ...My grade ten mathS teacher, a huge woman with short, carrot-orange curly hair, enormous black-framed glasses (is it any surprise that I can still picture her perfectly?) excitedly told us the official anacronym for remembering the trig formula. Hilarious, as I remember the anacronym, but not what in hell

the formula was used to compute. . . ... :lol::lol: Chief SOHCAHTOA - - somefin' about sines, cosines, hypotenuses.....crap. . ...... give me a moment.. . .. ...

Ahhhh! Here!

SOHCAHTOA

A way of remembering how to compute the Open Original Shared Link, Open Original Shared Link, and Open Original Shared Link of an Open Original Shared Link.

SOH stands for Sine equals Opposite over Open Original Shared LinkOpen Original Shared Link.

CAH stands for Cosine equals Open Original Shared LinkOpen Original Shared Link over Open Original Shared LinkOpen Original Shared Link.

TOA stands for Tangent equals Opposite over Open Original Shared LinkOpen Original Shared Link.

s126.gif

.. . . ....'Tis a nightmare. . . .....who in HELL uses this formula??????

Perhaps I can use it to fix my dishwasher.

I tried to get me own sub first and found out that there are (at least) three of us out today out of a total of 10 . . . ok, should I do a little mathS here and convert that into a fraction?? percentages?? . . . Not too hard. I can even do this one without a calculator and whilst running a fever.

Hey! Jahgnit. . . ...methinks if you assembled all of the possible supply teachers into a triangular formation in the staff room, you could employ the infinitely useful SOHCAHTOA formula, here. . . . . .....

:lol:

YAYYY!!! SO excited. . .. ..... ....

GOOOOOOOO MICHELLE!!!

I believe the starting pistol is 2 pm this Saturday. This year they start from Whitehorse. . . ...

Hmmmmm......Devil Child would indeed be hitting the east coast first. .. . .....

Can he fix dishwashers, then?

GJiannet....get better sooonn! :(

Todays phunnies; (it's a special day...you get two :D )

It's winter in New York and the gentle breezes blow,

Thirty freaking miles an hour at twenty-five below..

Oh, how I love New York when the snow's up to your butt,

You take a breath of winter and your nose gets frozen shut!!

Yes, the weather here is wonderful so I guess I'll hang around,

I could never leave New York because I'm frozen to the ground!

Here are some short profiles on Michelle's beautiful team for this year's race.. . . ..I think my favorite is PATTI, a lovely little girl with quiet dignity who inspires confidence in any teammates with whom she runs alongside. Hmmmmm.......sounds like another Patti, somehow. . . . . .... :);)

Em :wub:

We're home :D It really was a lovely time--lots of laffs and lots of wine :P Gawd, the only time I teared up was wif me dad--but they'll be out to visit, probably the day after we get a house. :rolleyes::lol:

Yesterday was spent at the hospital, though.......Mark's 91 year old aunt was having trouble breathing so his 89 and 1/2 year old mom called us at me mom's fer help. We picked up the both of them and met her doctor at the hospital. Long(very long) story short, he ended up switching her meds and sending her home--luckily it was (only)bronchitis, reaction to too many meds-- and probably a bit of anxiety.

It was quite something when we stopped at Wegman's for her prescriptions. :huh: Suddenly, she had more energy and was breathing fine, albeit wif a cough, so Mark went wif his mom to pick up a few things and I stayed wif Aunt Clara. There we were, picking things off the shelves for them, reading them the prices, bagging up minute amounts of produce ......all the while moving at a snail's pace.

We loaded everything up and took her back to the retirement home--which was beautiphul, by the way--and kept her company until her dinner was delivered and one of her "neighbor ladies" came by. It wasn't the afternoon we had planned, but it was nice to be able to help for once and so nice to spend time with a remarkable lady.

I have not begun to catch up, so I'm jumping in :D What did I miss? :unsure:

Did you take that pic of the humming bird??? I do so love hummingbirds . . . we only get the ruby-throated here and they are quite territorial. I was standing next to my feeder one day and I had one try to chase me off . . . cheeky little bugger.

Jess! Stop wasting yer mathy time! :lol:

Pahteigh! Your unexpected afternoon adventure just struck me as so.....wonderful, somehow. :) What a special lady Aunt Clara is! Absolutely terrific that you were engaged with her in such a way. . . . .....And I know she felt so safe and cared for in your capable hands. :)

Now, in your conversations with her, you didn't mention anything about anal glands or the yeti, didja? :unsure:

Well, some good news. And hello :)

We just found out that in less than 2 months, I am moving with the family to Cape Cod.

We're both very excited and are looking forward to the adventure. I'll keep you all updated as we go.

I just found out that Skeeter's doc has moved to Canada!! Apparently, we (the US) are trading my daughter's GI for Ryan.

      Water filters are a potential problem for Celiac Disease

      Most people are already deficient in minerals. I can understand the concern. However, if you do happen to get enough through supplementation, drinking pure distilled water is not going to matter. I happen to get over 100% of rda vitamins and minerals. I push myself to get 4000 mg of potassium a day through food, drinks, and supplements combined....

      Water filters are a potential problem for Celiac Disease

      Reverse osmosis water pulls electrolyte minerals out of the body. If used for cooking, RO water will even pull even more electrolytes out of the food. If you're not replacing electrolytes because you're eating food cooked with RO water, you can suffer from Electrolyte Imbalance. The symptoms of Electrolyte Imbalance are similar to those that occur...

      I am sorry to hear you went through that @YoshiLuckyJackpotWinner888.  That could not have been an easy thing to figure out.  I just used Uncle Google to perform this search:  "Can water filters contain gluten?" Here is the AI overview that was returned: Yes, some water filters can theoretically contain or be processed with gluten. While rare, certain refrigerator or pitcher filters may use wheat starch as a binder for the activated carbon. For individuals with high sensitivity or celiac disease, contacting the manufacturer to confirm if they use wheat or corn starch is recommended.  Potential Risk: Some refrigerator and aftermarket filters may use wheat-based components to bind carbon, potentially causing issues for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities. Alternatives: Many water filters, such as those from AquaTru Water, are explicitly manufactured to be free of gluten, corn, and soy. General Safety: Most standard water filters are safe, and the risk of significant gluten contamination is low, but not zero for highly sensitive individuals.  If you are highly sensitive, checking with the specific manufacturer of your filter is the safest course of action. --End Quote

      Most people are already deficient in minerals.  I can understand the concern. However, if you do happen to get enough through supplementation, drinking pure distilled water is not going to matter.  I happen to get over 100% of rda vitamins and minerals.   I push myself to get 4000 mg of potassium a day through food, drinks, and supplements combined. I don’t know anyone else that does. The rda is closer to 4700 mg a day. For anyone else that might be deficient, I suppose tap water might be a better option.  I personally can’t stand the taste of most city tap water sources.  I don’t mind mineral water and prefer it when possible. I recently found out we would need to drink 5 liters of San Pellagrino mineral water a day to get enough lithium to satisfy the suggested 1 mg a day. Unfortunately, this and other mineral waters can also have trace amounts of uranium that occur naturally in nature. Uranium is not a good thing to have in your water. I wouldn’t want that or naturally occurring lead in my water.  There is no perfect solution for drinking water.  Smart water distills and then adds back in some electrolytes.  I could evaporate two gallons day of tap water or mineral water and the remaining sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, etc… wouldn’t amount to what I already consume on a daily basis. I’m not worried about drinking distilled water.

      Library paste and paper mache.  I have in passing read of wheat based glue used to glue fish tank filters together so it is not surprising they might be in refridgerator filters. Seems the issue with bottled water would be at the personal filters rather than the mass filtering.  Just have to boycott the brands that effect you.  Gatorade drinks all have either gums, modified starches or stevia that might be affecting you.  Looking for energy or hydration try Red Bull.  It has the vitamins, minerals, antioxidant Taurine, sugar and glucose to process the sugar from mouth to ATP and clean up. Taurine is essential for protecting mitochondria from damage, such as from reactive oxygen species (ROS) or calcium overload. If you are exclusively drinking bottled water you may want to consider taking Lithium Orotate 5 mg.  We need about 1 mg a day of Lithium and mostly it is gotten from ground water.  Lithium deficiency can cause anxiety and suicide.  I find it helpful.
