**And now I also remember "playing" with mercury - spinning around drops in the palm of my hand and watching them evaporate/sublimate....  Hmm... Was that legal?  healthy?  Or was I "playing" with a different type of mercury?

I did that a couple of times with broken thermometers at home!  I held the mercury in my hand also, but I didn't watch it evaporate.  I probably just dumped it in the trash can...who knew back then?? ::)

On the down side, I bought some rose petal sachet in my suitcase to make it smell better.  I had my coats in there as well.  Well, I thought they smelled very nice (still do) but my boss is allergic to it.  I had to put my coat in a bag.  :(

I work with a woman who still uses moth balls!  Her clothes sometimes reek!  I personally would much, much, much (that's three muches) rather have overpowering rose scent to mothballs! :P

You and me both, DR George!  That's why I chose the rose scent.  My Mom suggested the old mothball/cedar balls.  Ugh.  I HATE them!

I pulled out the record I have of Hans Christian Andersen to see what I really do have.  I will take a photo and post it later.  What I have is Danny Kaye sings……What I don’t have is a record inside the cover, a disappointing fact I had completely blocked from my mind.

My sister and I did the same thing.  She was full of clever tricks when we were young.

I confess, I also have memories of playing with mercury in my hand--trying to smash it, watching it join the other little pools of it I had in my hand.  Like you said, DR George--Who knew?

I don't have clew what I did with it when I was finished with it.  I guess I put it in the trash as well.

Not at all.  There is one small black and white picture of a similiar group picture with the children.

I like your new avitar and you look great with long hair, but where is one of those fantastic happy photos of you taken in NY?

The floor guy has come and gone and I still haven't taken a walk.  He is leaving the floor alone for now.  He is having a very difficult time matching the colors.

Be safe, DR Jose!  

DR Jane, go for your walk!

Danise, you have a new avatar!  It's very nice. :)  It looks like it's your driver's license picture.

Very nice new avatar, DRDANISE.

Yes, DRJOSE - let me check my schedule - I am expecting an interview this week - but who knows.  A semi-get-together would be great!

Someone please make Danise an avatar from one of the NY photos.  I would if I could.  Wait Danise, don't you know how to do that?  I believe there were two really nice photos, one of you with Ben and the other with Larry.

Yes, indeed.  In fact a small portion of Danise's arm can be found at Michael Shayne's tribute to Larry.

Nice hotel.  And this time we have kitchens - stovetop burners and ovens!  Yeah!
And I bet you're kicking yourself for not bringing along your stand mixer and cookie sheets!

Aww, I was messing with a photo but I'm to tired to get it to do what I want it to.  I'll try again tomorrow.

It's dark now so I'm off to bed.  Have a good evening all!

We recently had to get a new thermometer, for taking human (and doggy) temperatures.  I have to admit, I like the new electronic-read style, much easier to use than the old glass-and-mercury things.  And the reading tip is flexible!  This is certanly an advantage, when it is usable for oral, armpit, and rectal readings.   :o

They're also very easy to clean.    :o :-\

I am art-stupid.

Whenever we have favorite sculpture day, DR Sandra can tell you about our fave -- the decomposing goat in the tire.

Oh, wait! I DO have a favorite painting!

Several years ago, my family was visiting my sister in Maine and were at an art fair. My sis found a painting that looks just like DR Sandra. She asked the artist who the model was, and the artist said, "Oh, just some little girl I saw a couple years ago who was digging in the sand at the beach. I took a photo and then painted her." We had been in Maine a couple years before that, digging at the beach.

Hey Jed, did you see the videotape on the news tonight of Cecil the sea lion swimming up the fish ladder at the Bonneville Dam to get to the salmon?  That lard-ass looked like you and me swimming upstream for ice cream.
