13643. Magoseph - 2/3/2005 2:05:33 AM Are you English, Halo? 13644. Halo - 2/3/2005 2:43:02 AM No, I am Australian born. 13645. Magoseph - 2/3/2005 3:04:59 AM Good night, Halo--please, come back soon! 13646. wonkers2 - 2/3/2005 7:30:07 AM Thanks, all. W2 13647. Macnas - 2/3/2005 11:46:29 AM Wonk, good on you. 13648. alistairconnor - 2/3/2005 1:13:06 PM Ah, a fellow euro-antipodean.
Welcome Halo.
Four jars of curry paste in six months? You've really gone native, haven't you. 13649. wonkers2 - 2/3/2005 3:53:42 PM Thanks, all. W2 13650. thoughtful - 2/3/2005 3:59:29 PM Congrats wonks...more power to you.
I've had a number of products discontinued once I found I loved them. Mocha java bars are still available at one grocery store, but I fear they will dry up soon. Used to love cheese-filled pastry puffs but they replaced them with something awful and hardly the same. Of course I've long since stopped eating pastry anyway. Hood ice cream made a reverse choc chip that was to die for...chocolate ice cream with white choc chips, but that ended almost as soon as it started. And when I used to eat yogurt, i loved the key lime...they stopped making that one too.
So it goes. 13651. Magoseph - 2/3/2005 4:29:20 PM I get the Yoplait Yogurt for a treat once in a while--Have you ever tasted it, thoughtful? 13652. thoughtful - 2/3/2005 4:56:46 PM Yeah, mags, I tried it quite awhile ago, but didn't like it at all. Of course now i'm off of yogurts anyway, unless it's plain, full fat, which is fairly hard to come by. 13653. iiibbb - 2/3/2005 5:44:30 PM May I just say... as a budding scientist the single most frustrating thing is dealing with people who already have their reputation.
I have 2 papers out for review right now... one came back today, and while they want me to resubmit much of the criticisms made of this paper are addressed by the paper that should have been finally accepted months ago but 1) my primary co-author insisted he be given time to go over my first set of revisions... and then took too long to get to them which may have prompted a re-review... 2) the reviewers themselves are taking longer than they told me they would.
Sigh.
I have a good idea (method)... it really is... I just want it to get established somewhere so that the unfamiliarty with it is no longer the thing that causes resistance... I want to just be able to cite the place where it resides in the mainstream and we can just focus on what it's actually telling us.
Mild Frustration.
Breathe.
It will be a good day when paper 1 gets accepted. 13654. iiibbb - 2/3/2005 5:44:58 PM actually it's paper 3... but it's the first paper that uses the 'good idea'. 13655. PsychProf - 2/3/2005 6:07:54 PM Wabbit...this cracked me up..."My paternal grandmother's name was Hortense. Mostly people called her 'that spiteful bitch'." 13656. Magoseph - 2/3/2005 6:35:13 PM

Are you protecting your method so that no established scientist can run away with it? Maybe, this a stupid question, but I want to know anyway, iiibbb. 13657. Ms. No - 2/3/2005 6:37:09 PM Bonjour, Magoseph! Comment ça va? 13658. Magoseph - 2/3/2005 6:41:53 PM Ms. No, ça va bien, merci, et toi, comment vas-tu ce matin? 13659. Ms. No - 2/3/2005 6:42:56 PM Congrats, Wonk!
13660. Ms. No - 2/3/2005 6:46:28 PM Bien, aussi, Mago.
And that about taps out my French, but I thought you deserved a lift. One of these days somebody will come along who can say more than "Hi, how are you? My name is Mrs. No. Where's the bathroom?" 13661. Ms. No - 2/3/2005 6:49:35 PM Halo,
Good to see you. So sorry to hear they're discontinuing your curry paste. Is it a vendor decision or is the manufacturer no longer going to make it? If it's just the store then you might find it elsewhere by asking the manufacturer where it's stocked.
I regularly have my parents send me Wick Fowler's 2 Alarm Chili mix because I've never been able to find it in California. The only stuff they've got here in LA is some Carol Shelby stuff that's frankly not worth the bother. 13662. thoughtful - 2/3/2005 7:08:16 PM Hey that's me! that's me! I know more than how are you in french! See?
Ou est le drapeau?
I think it's about the only thing i remember from french class...not that it often comes in handy...
Asseyez-vous!
That was the other oft-heard expression in my 5th grade french class.
