Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
-t, K-Bug did a similar science fair experiment. But she watered her plants with water, milk, and orange juice. They STANK. BAD. I don't recall a difference in growth, but it got kicked to the back yard.
We were working on knife defense in class tonight. I don't wanna get anywhere near a knife fight. In theory I know how to defend myself, but I'd rather run in the other direction.
That was awesome, Jessica.
Y'all, I had a trip down memory lane, and March 7 of last year, I saw this house for the first time. And I was so gone, evident in my emails. I saw 11 houses that day. I only talked about this one in an email to my mom. 4 more days and it'll be a year. Amazing.
That is hilarious, Suzi! The stinky experiment, not the knife defense. I know my sugary plant grew some mold, but they all got to stay inside for the duration.
Mac either typed or helped form the sentences and worked on spelling words to me while I typed for the 9 different parts of this damn project. All but the conclusion is done. I waited to do all the formating and now 5 of the 6 pages are printed out. Thank dog. He will glue them to red construction paper and then glue them to the display board in the morning. Somehow I will coax enough out of him to get a conclusion written and then it will be done done done!
Good luck, msbelle. I think science projects are the bane of many parents' experience. My brother did that since I didn't.
Colonel Tigh on Psych! Also Jeri Ryan, of Leverage and tawdry Illinois politics fame. Also, creepy fanfic portmanteaux! ETA. And, also, cats with laser beams. Someone's been on the internets.
Oh, ew, msbelle. Science fair projects are of teh debbil. We hates them, we does.
Hated doing them the first time around, hate them more now.

Yep! I do a fair amount of science research. I even have a membership!
For my science project I had potatoes stashed all over the house to see what conditions (temperature, light, humidity) would cause the most sprout growth. My results were not dramatic, but at least it didn't smell bad.
I am exhausted from work today. I think I'm too old now to do work that requires a harness and a fall arrest system. I can still do the job faster and better than most of the twentysomethings, but they don't hurt the way I do afterward.
One of my summer students just sent me an email asking me to re-teach him something. sigh I don't have the brain power to explain anything to him right now. It's okay to make him wait a couple of days, right? Since my contract to teach this child was up in August?
