My parents did research in the same field. I wonder if they ever collaborated?

This is the that makes me lose it. We had a female apprentice that had some dirtbag say all sorts of nasty things to her. She only reported it when he grabbed her arm hard enough to bruise her. We are 100% ZERO tolerance. That dirtbag was brought up on charges(LU stuff) and paid thousands in fines. Should it happen once more, triple the fine. We are legally bound to keep giving you chances but we can out price your stupidity.

Coming home to a tearful wife is an awful thing. Our cat Doodles passed from old age in Nov. and his brother Poopie has gone steadily downhill. He's lost at least 25% of his body weight. He has lost interest in food and cuddles and lap time. I taught a class after work so I got home later. He had peed on the floor right in front of her a few feet from the spot he was lying. He would never do that. Ever. His breathing is deep and labored....I grew up on a farm. Death was around daily. My wife has a very hard time with these things and that breaks my heart.

I know y'all gonna butter a cookie now. Let's be real. Try a pinch of salt.

You need to dust the butter lightly with sugar.

Lerner: One big som' bitch. Sat right behind the glass at the Boston game. Giant human. Goes from crouch to butterfly very quickly. Just from seeing warm ups. Concrete: I have personally jackhammered a bit of the 115yo concrete under St. Paul railroad bridge. It cures forever. Unbelievable stuff.

This is the most reasonable option to me. He was just starting to come on. He has seen what he needs to see. Giggidy. I said seen.

Friggin fried bologna! That's my next cheat. I still have my 30" waist at 43 so when my body cries out some particular food I give it what it wants. I just had a chewy homemade choc chip cookie with a huge dab of butter.

Management wasn't happy so they suspended him one game. Message sent. Nothing to see here.

Unbelievable machine. They leave me in awe every time. I never had a good scope of actual size until one buzzed over my house very low with 5/6 crows in hot pursuit. It was friggin huge! I've heard there were a breeding pair released at Hemlock lake. I'm fairly close to Honeoye lake. Does that mean they're doing well?

We once had an apprentice so inept yet so sure of himself and downright rude to the learned men. He looked like a hobbit and quickly earned the nickname Scroto T. Baggins. He didn't last long.

It's really simple stuff. I know all of them could split 8 evenly into 4 pieces but put it in a real life scenario and they're confused. Your assessment of block and tackle is spot on. The only other thing I would add( and do in class) is that B/T also changes the direction of the applied force.

Only now that I am fully decompressed can I fully appreciate the exactness of Sodoku in the Random thread. You had no idea of the specifics yet found the irony.

I find this very soothing. Thank you.

If an ironworker was using a block and tackle system reeved with 4 parts of line, how far would the load drop if the ironworker were to pay out 8 feet of load line? Very basic stuff....the ones from city schools struggle the most with this sort of stuff. It baffles and frustrates me.

The numbers! They're so heavy!

Ahhhhhhhhggghhhhhh! Part of the insanity has been trying to teach apprentices rigging calculations!!!!

Someone. Anyone. Be kind and throw me a lifeline of sanity as I have fallen into a vortex of stupidity and I can not get myself out!

I was a kid myself living in Canadiens territory. I wasn't familiar with ahl those days. There is so much hockey upNorth to compete with. I missed Mal's career. I've taken a peek at his numbers and JFC! I'm sorry I missed it. I've added finding clips of Mal Davis playing to my very long to do list... I'm at the game. Amerks seasons are a very good deal. 8$/seat, one voucher for a free Sabres game/seat, one voucher for any Amerks game/seat, any unused season ticket becomes a voucher to any game, food coupons, parking discounts...

Goldfish...the snack that smiles back....which is sort of pissing me off.

Why that poor little fella. He and the one he refers to were both awful last season and neither has been much better this time around. Bye bye, dude.

TY. I'll pm you if I win anything....oh wait no one else play these number ok?

Oops. Downside of the mobile site....and insisting I don't need glasses.

There was a period in time that I had said "seen it" so many times while doing my Ray impression to entertain my wife that I had a hard time not saying it in real time. I've learned my lesson.

Oh he knows. He eats pocket hotdogs. He knows.
