Non-cotton everything is on my list, as it happens. Good tip on the sudocreme, thanks. I had read about using it not long ago as a cheaper and just-as-good alternative to body glide. I was going to trial both, but if you think that Sudocreme is the way to go, I'll just save my money / invest in more moleskin.

If you have time in your preparation I would try as many permutations as possible. I agree some of the solutions are just too expensive - ie you can afford it but just don't wan tot be ripped off for petroleum jelly in a pretty packet.

We've been training every weekend so far, though I've had to skip a couple because of my ankle injury. I was in a hiking shop the other day to get the people there to double check my shoes fit well. The lady there told me that a lot of people would come in the day before to buy new equipment, having done no training at all. I can't even imagine doing that.

I was recommended some peppermint balm by the same store person, which I'm trying today on the second section...

why everything is pain ? hypervalent_iodine, you are such an outstanding girl !

fresh: at the time that I wrote this, I was feeling very sick and sorry for myself. I'd like to say I'm all better now, but as it happens, I came down with another nasty bug just yesterday.

Although I know little about you, I admire you. Being a learned young girl,you have nothing to worry about.

I have a daughter and her man currently drifting about Australia working. Currently somewhere between Brisbane and Sydney . We skype. They said we are not going north because of the crocs and box jelly fish. They like to surf.

I assume somewhere in northern NSW? Coffs Harbor and the Byron Bay/Tweed areas have beautiful beaches for surfing.

Next time they skype i will ask them exactly where they surf

Well, yes. That much should have been fairly obvious given the fact that a.) I didn't say this comment in particular is what made him incompetent and, b.) my subsequent analogies.

D-K does not necessarily prevent someone to learn, though. It just means that the person incorrectly assess own and other's competence in a given field. Coupled with an inability to learn is quite devastating, though.

I think one naturally follows from the other. If you're convinced that you're better than you actually are, it's reasonable that you aren't going to assess mistakes as being your fault / responsibility and something to learn from.

My bed.

Woodford? Awesome, and not as wet as last year.

Did you happen to see the Funky Faeries people by any chance? They have the most stunning hand made oil burners.

Ha. Yes, it was by far the driest Woodford I have attended. In fact it was wonderful, weather wise. Only the occasional brief shower.

I think I may have looked at their stall. I was there the whole week doing volunteer work, so I'm pretty sure I saw most everything there was. My wallet can testify to that.

Your posts seem to be to good not to give rep points...

No more arguments over reputation system. Be optimist. Think of Science. Think of Future.

Rep system has ruined the strength of my opinion.

Mississippichem - She totally just dissed your lady-attracting skills. You gonna let her get away with that? Or are you gonna be a MAN about it?!?!

How many chinese bad men could there possibly be???

if I told you, I'd have to kill you.

Well, I for one want to wish you a late Happy SFN Anniversery!!! : )

Impressive.. for a girl...

It's been a real struggle.

Our llama recently graduated from College with 3 degrees. It's almost certainly the extra l.

No twins, but what if I told you I have a doppelganger?

Sorry, I took too long thinking about the twins thing. Tell your sister hi for me, and thanks.

So you have a doppleganger? Does she live in Oz as well, or is it a long-distance resemblance?

Thank you! Huge hug from me to you!

The chemistry joke was admittedly lame.

Raptors are not good minions. You're too tasty for them to listen long... Not that I would know or anything.

Totally unrelated but I always find certain types of classification funny that were apparently derived from the marketing section of MS companies (HR vs accurate mass, MRM vs SRM, etc).

HRMS?

High resolution mass spectrometry.

Thank you!

Tres bien!

Wow, that is very cool. Congratulations!

False alarm! I had something come up that I thought was going to take me away from here for a little while, but it seems I was jumping ahead of myself. How lucky for you all!

I would have missed you!

You blew up the Chem building again, didn't you?

starting material and goodness knows what else.

I love iodine on the rocks

Hey! you got a problem with lactams!?

You chemists think you're sooooooo great.

Horza. Shhhhhhhhh. I know that and you know that, but my pyrrolidone should remain ignorant.

Mississipi. Sort of. It's more that my KOH has a problem with dry THF. I know what went wrong, but I was working off of a protocol tried and tested by my co-supervisor. So I have to make it work.

Tripolation. It's because we are.

Good for you kiddo.

What did Peter do?

Heh. Well I don't know if it was Peter, but that would make sense. Apparently someone put acid and something else into their waste drum, which was then left in the store room for pick up. Turns out the waste drum had other ideas about how that was going to go down.

I've had some weird things happen in my halogenated waste bottle before.

You mean, you took on another position along with the one you already occupied, or switched?

I have switched groups and unis. I was working on a primarily genetics based project, now I'm on one more related to biochem and organic, which I'm taking into a PhD in a few months.
