Radisson - 2008 / Trey & Princess

Pchemist, I'm quite sure you are normal.  One of my best friends is a chemist, and she is also quite normal.  Which gas phase molecular ions in particular?

[Pchemist]

.......gas-phase ion-molecule quantum chemistry is what I like best.   

....ACK...!!!!!!    Yikes!! 

Yeah.  I get that a lot.  I also like my garden (flowers) and my carpentry (our own house, which we hope to move into by the end of the summer!!!).  So hopefully I'm more "normal" now?

Yep, pchem is physical chemistry.  That's my field of geek-ness.  Along with many others, but gas-phase ion-molecule quantum chemistry is what I like best.

Don't get us started on the subject of geeks lmao

[bcbird]

Hey Pchemist, I've been wondering, does Pchemist=physical chemistry?

Last night over dinner our family was discussing the relative merits of degrees Farenheit, celcius and Kelvin.  Oh well call us geeks.

[deedream]

Oh I have to try and remember that conversion Pchemist,, I am always trying to convert it for Mom. We talk about weather a lot! lol My outdoor thermometer is celcius only (the other one I had that did both broke),  so I say well it is 24C and she does not really know what that is until I say well its about 78F.  lol

Brooke's last flight sounded so harsh.  The photo is strangely bittersweet.  I could see the gorgeous mature wild creature she was becoming, mixed with the young one she had been.
Too much projection of bird's lives onto our reality.  It's grad party time,  human teenagers
die because of lack of judgement over driving skills. 
Fledging is indeed a dangerous time.

Awww that is so sad.. - typical brothers, picking on their poor sister. Fledging is such a dangerous time for them, what a shame. 

[Pchemist]

It's 29 in my livingroom!  That's what -- 84 in old people language?  (fahrenheit, for oldies like me who aren't quite sure how hot is hot!) 

Or in "american" language, since we do it in Fahrenheit.  I use both, because we use Celcius in the lab - though Fahrenheit is a finer scale, Celcius is easier to convert to Kelvin (which is what we really use).

Easy conversion (for "normal-ish" temps is Celcius*2 + 30) so 29 would be 29*2+30 = 88.  Not perfect, but easier to do in your head.  To do it perfect it's Celcius*1.8+32.  I have a quick way to do that too, but now I'm showing my geek-factor too much.

morning all...

check out the updates from our mississauga falcons.. a little sad, a little happy.  some good pictures on the updates.

have a great weekend everyone...

[ballywing]

Wow! - Do you guys ever sleep   - It's good to have people to talk to in the middle of the night isn't it - So now we wait for Tracy's report. I wonder if she'll be going to the nestbox today or tomorrow?   She knows we're holding our breath so maybe she'll go today. Gorgeous here in Wpg, nice day to get some good news.  

[eagle63_1999]

Okay today is the first offical day of Summer!!  And it's cloudy here and it's 20C (not sure what it is in Farenheit)  Got my talons and wings crossed for news of Princess and Trey.  Yeah I was up late too and had to call it a night about 8 hours ago lol.  Hope you have a good weekend.

I'm really hopeful that Princess' excuse for her absence is also that she's nesting!! 

I'm hoping so! 

[Enraptured]

Yahoo! I was so glad to hear you'd seen Trey! I had so much catch up reading to do as I'd not been online for three days that by the time I was finished, I was wiped out!  I do remember though, thinking 'oh, good. Liz got to see one of the falcons!' I know you've been wanting to and trying to for so long!  I hope you see him again soon -- perhaps your luck with have changed now and sighting will be a regular treat!
