h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm a whinging rotter to!

I'll just be driving through Salt Lake, Marv, and spending the night somewhere around Nephi tomorrow.

I always suspected Ormy of secret right-wing leanings .

Will you be able to possible stop for a bit on the way back FG? Would be awesome to meet you!

The synaethesia tests were interesting. I came out about as synaethesthetic as a doornail. And about as surprised as a doornail too. I kept on thinking of problems with their methodologies though.

Thanks for posting it, Amy.

Have fun on the trip, be sure to give us a full report upon your return.

Thanks Marv and GDZ, but I'm *on a mission* on my way down there and coming back up to the east of you--through Colorado and Wyoming. Maybe next time!

Turns out I'm a liberal airhead...who'd thunk? (pretty much everyone I know, actually)

FG, have a safe trip. And next trip, you're coming down here, damnit.

Have a safe trip FG.

You know when there's something that you've not understood for years, that you were beginning to think was just beyond you, and then you read it, and *bing* it clicks .

That happens to me over and over with Einstein. It clicks and I understand relativity for several seconds.

Or it could be that you understand it for several light years - to an observer watching you scoot by at 0.998*c

Trips...

What's clicked, Z?

I've been working on two poems based on Larkin's most infamous one ("They f**k you up, your Mum and Dad"). Not surprisingly they look and sound much the same as each other. But I am intensely curious about the responses of the parents in this thread to the two poems, because in the end I am going to have to settle on one of them.

That could have been more graceful - have a *great* time FG!

I'm afriad it's nothing very exciting to anyone other than Phil, I've always struggled with the Acid/Base homeostatis metabolism of the body so as a result intreprested arterial blood gases remains a mystery to me!. .

Until today!

I now understand lots of things I didn't understand about patients I have seen.

*goes of to comment on the poems*

Ah, good - I'm not the only liberal airhead in the group.

FG, that sounds like a great trip - the sort of thing I enjoy. Hope you have a wonderful time.

There you go FG, my entry on sourdough bread that I haven't submitted for review yet. Somehow it slipped past the second stage of procrastination, but I've successfully kept it at stage three for the time being.

I've come out a liberal airhead too, but compared to the rest of you all my score of 2.4 makes me something of an arch-conservative.

Now I'm off to see how synesthetic I sound.

And I come out average in the synthesthesia test, but I did come out opposite of most in the number placement.

I'm a whining rotter, me - 1,7.

I've been looking through my scanty notes and discovered that I'm very late for wishing Toccata happy b'day.

And the same to Ormondroyd for your five years in virtual dressing gown.

Hati . Next time I visit I'll have words with your ex.

FG - sounds like a vacation that fills the senses.
*Keeps fingers and toes crossed - except when typing.*

I had to turn down a free course in fundraising - titled From Idea to Project - offered by my union. (Free because I'm partly unemployed/ freelancer). Would have been handy in the work I'm doing with my bonus-son (my husband's eldest). He has recently been diagnosed ADHD - as a grown up (28) - and is now working hard to make a website and a documentary film for information and to create a network. His goal is to help others and to improve the public system's view on grown ups with ADHD - and the help (or lack of same) it offers.

But two of the days of the course are the same as I've promised to help my eldest daugther (31) out with her son the days after she has been through an operation.

Choices!

Hopefully the union repeats the course.

And after two days of attending union conferences and general meetings (as a journalist) - I think I'll have a very close look at my bed.
