Thank you very much! I am going to check out this test.

Have a lovely day!

You know - She did cross my mind when I was looking at her. I'm an XMen fan. This is the most beautiful representation I've seen of Storm. Good choice!

please do, I can point you to some good resources, seed catalogs, books and can offer some practical advice myself

ah. walk-ins. riight. nevermind then

ah yes, it feels awesome. glad to hear..and busy...i guess it's better than bored? i don't know, that office seems kinda cozy

lovely temperature out, isn't it?
how are you doing?

Thanks, Arby. I really appreciate the words of support! *hugs*

interesting... if i ever get a good idea for one, i should try it sometime. how long has it been around? and is the name short for something, or some slang that I'm not getting?

lol. Yeah, I'm fine. Just had a disagreement with the floor. I went in to get some bloodwork done at the walk in clinic yesterday. After they took my blood, they told me to go sit down and make sure I was okay before I left the building. I never made it to sitting down. I woke up on waiting room floor, people hauling me up and one of the doctors freaking the heck out and telling me I needed to go into the emergency room for stitches and x-rays because I banged up my chin and possibly injured my neck. I'm perfectly fine. though. I just have 10 stitches to show for the whole ordeal... just in time for Halloween!

ah, well sounds like a good, healthy paradigm shift

nooooope, leave it as it is .

Thank you!

I'm really sorry arby. Things will work themselves out in the end for what the need to be. Have faith.

i watched the princess bride for the first time in ten years today and i thought i might not enjoy it but it was amazing! i must wear this: http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts-apparel/unisex/popculture/9f70/ :D

Generics are often the result of expired patents. Two things can happen after that. One other companies find much cheaper methods to make the material, other companies realise the patent holder was trying to squeeze as much money out of people as possible, or there is no change in price at all. Once something has a patent on it, you can't even research that compound anymore (more or less), so the price flatlines. All three of these factors are usually in play at once so it's hard to tell which causes which.

Believe it or not, I can imagine a drug being worth 4k$ for 30 pills. When you synthesize these designer drugs, you sometimes have to go through upwords of 20+ reactions, and in the end you get around 3% of the material you started with (and that's on the good side). So you need to start with a lot of material, to which most will go to waste. Not only that, some of the reagents themselves to do the reactions needed are extremely expensive. In particular if you need chiral organometallic catalysts. It adds up fast.

I've always been rather depressed by horror films and gore and such..Not sure why I'm so sensitive about that.. well except for zombie movies for whatever reason... maybe because somehow I see those as more social commentary.

where is your avatar from?
I've been staring at it for 2 minutes and I think I saw it somewhere... maybe its just a mental problem
