19742. Magoseph - 7/10/2006 2:06:02 PM Today, Flexy is seeing his doctor to determine if his health can stand the cataract operation this Thursday—if everything is all right this week, then we’ll prepare ourselves for the carotid operation in August. 19743. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 7/10/2006 2:29:26 PM Every Good wish, Mago! 19744. judithathome - 7/10/2006 3:04:45 PM Sounds pretty exciting, Magos! Most excitement we had over the weekend was the guy across the street buying a 2007 Lexus. 19745. Neato - 7/11/2006 10:32:18 AM Our most excitment over the weekend was 1 very drunk neighbour loudly wanting a ride to the hospital, to the dilerious delight of the other very drunk neighbour who said it was a boil on his anus, and that we would have to wait til he sobered up before we took him. 19746. Magoseph - 7/11/2006 1:09:40 PM Every Good wish, Mago!
Thank you, Wiz, a darling you are.
Hello, Neato—our neighbors are too busy to have fun like yours have and that is too bad. Most leave early, come back late afternoon and the weekend is spent shopping, washing cars, and trimming lawns. We have lately moving here youngish couples and early-retired baby boomers type--the first ones toil hard; the others play golf and go somewhere else to play it for the winter and those we rarely see, so seriously golf is their lives.
We were expecting more kids, but these new residents are of a type who don’t seem to have any or don’t figure them in their lives.
19747. Magoseph - 7/11/2006 1:10:34 PM I’m telling you—I miss Thoughtful, Jay, Mac, Ms. No—-I wish they would let us know how they are. It is cruel to leave us in the dark as suddenly they did.
19748. Magoseph - 7/12/2006 10:21:20 AM Come and say hello to me, Pelle. 19749. wonkers2 - 7/12/2006 12:53:24 PM Anybody know what's up with thoughtful? 19750. Magoseph - 7/12/2006 1:08:31 PM She must be busy this time of the year--that's what I like to think. 19751. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 7/12/2006 3:05:23 PM Anybody know what's up with thoughtful?
I may have been the last one to see her (at my opening) with her husband. I suspect she may be traveling out west–didn't she mention the Grand Tetons?
Then again I also suspect that she misinterpreted Jexster's razzing as serious, wrt her Republican mate–who was very nice, btw. My impression upon meeting her F2F was that she is not only thoughtful, but also very sensitive and reserved. 19752.

CTGProject 19753. iiibbb - 7/12/2006 7:03:05 PM Published!!!
more or less... got another manuscript more or less accepted today after I make some relatively painless revisions. 19754. judithathome - 7/12/2006 8:51:55 PM Congratulations!!! You must be so happy...gonna celebrate? 19755. iiibbb - 7/12/2006 9:17:47 PM Sushi sometime
I need to address the revisions first. On further review... one of the revisions may be a little bit painful, but it should not prevent this thing from going through. 19756. judithathome - 7/13/2006 3:08:23 PM Subject: Fw: HELL EXPLAINED BY CHEMISTRY STUDENT
The following is an actual question given on a chemistry mid term.
The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it
with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the
pleasure of enjoying it as well:
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs
heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas
cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need
to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which
they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to
Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many
souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in
the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member
of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of
these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we
can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they
are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.
Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law
states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the
same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter
Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell
breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell,
then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year
that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into
account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be
true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen
over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it
follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct
......leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being
which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."
THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A"

Congrats 3i3b!
I hope you get a good report, Mags.
Back at the laundromat parkinglot, and yes, Alistair, this little hippie town of about 1300 people has about ten wireless connections. If I ever left AR and didn't move out of the country, I'd move in or near this town. It's very community-oriented and has a lot of great stuff, including an organic co-op with a nice store, for a town this size. And the physical environment is great. 19758. Magoseph - 7/13/2006 7:29:03 PM We just came back from the clinic—the right eye operation took longer than the left eye’s one. We were told that Flexy made a sudden move while being operated and there was a tear that bled--we have to come back to the surgeon’s office later this afternoon. This eye will take longer to heal. 19759. judithathome - 7/13/2006 11:02:59 PM Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, Magos...but keep in mind that the eye is the fastest organ to heal. 19760. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 7/13/2006 11:04:19 PM Bad luck, Mago. My father had to pee during that kind of procedure and the surgeon told him to go right there on the operating table. Industrial strength lamentations to the healing gods for Flexy and even more good wishes for him and his lovely partner!
Speaking of lovely, the most charmings Wonkers his adorable wife and erudite brother just left and what utterly lovely guests–extremely good company. Don't pass up the chance to entertain them if they're in your vicinity-they are a joy to be around. 19761. Macnas - 7/14/2006 8:57:28 AM Hello hello hello.
Heading to Sligo tomorrow, talk to yez next week.
