I get a kick out of howstuffworks.com

sample list from categories:

Building a plastic hydrogen bomb.

Electromachining, electroetching, and electroplating.

Building your own solar battery.

ETA: from the top article:

Be very careful with bombs.

I thought the article about lockpicking was interesting, too.

Hey, hivemind--how long does it normally take to get your glucose tol test results back?

My memory from the first pregnancy is hazy, but I thought it was about a week or so. This time, they didn't call at all, which I assumed meant I passed it, since I figured they'd definitely call me if I didn't. Sure enough, I was right. I'd passed.

I had mine on Monday, and haven't heard back yet. Which, I admit, I am taking slight advantage of and cheerfully keeping up with my OJ consumption. Sounds like it hasn't been an overly long time, then.

can't see ... not sure if still have husband ...or cat. may have stacked them....

I guess I'm with Hec in the "Extreme Skeptic" corner.With the caveat that I do believe that there are people that mate like swans...pick each other out and never look back.

Actuaqlly, most of the animals that pair off for life still get occasional nookie on the side. (This wasn't realised until they started running genetic tests on the babies. Um, I mean researchers were running the tests, not the parents.) 'Mate like vultures' would be more what you're looking for, I think.

I was really religious until well into my undergrad years. Now I'm an athiest. If I had to count my sexual partners I think it would take paper and pencil.

Me too, me too, and my sexual partners don't even reach the plural.

Please point me to an organization of any sort that's been around for 2,000 years -- heck, even 1,000 or 500-- that has used power and money particularly well.

Is that a job opening? I'd like to submit an application.

My brother has now moved in. We were just watching a music video:

Michael Jackson: "If you're thinking about being my baby, it don't matter if you're black or white."
Brendan: "That's good, it's a shame about the age limit though."

Hee! Hi, billytea. I'd COMM that, but I think I'm COMMing too much, lately. I hope someone else will come along and do it.

I am not awake. Someone shock me or something. Coffee...kick in!

Plei, the glucose A1c blood test can take 15 minutes if they are using the newer technology, longer for the older style, which clinics tend to use.

The holdup tends to be lab backlog and contacting procedures. In my tiny town of 15,000, they rarely take more than a couple of days to get back to me, and they are using the old way.

My advice is to contact the doctor's nurse, as she could find out for you.
