Heard of the debate about getting rid of pennies? I like pennies. The fondest times I remember are when my father used to bring home a pocketful of pennies and I would go through them to add to my collection. They are also redesinging the nickel. New backs I think.

This was a miscarriage from a natural pregnancy.

I'm sorry to hear it as well. Stay safe as best you are able.

Sho; thoughts?

Heh, what kind of pants do you wear? Sweat pants with pockets without tying the drawstring? I can lose five pounds by emptying my pockets. I have wallet, checkbook, change, bills, knife, cellphone all in my Dickies. Jeans are are about the same. I collect all sorts of money. I'm not an avid fanatic about it but I collect the state quarters in the Whitman's blue book. I have a penny collection but kind of let that slide lately. I have several older (70's up) half dollars and old style dollars. I agree; four of those monster would drag anyone's pants down. I love Bi-Centennial quarters and save every one I run across. I have one current gold dollar and a bunch of Susan B's. I have several hundred dollars in old style bills spread across several denominations. Just show I can show my grandkids. (Gotta get started on kids first though) And last but not least I have a few proof sets of coins. My dad started buying them for me for Christmas a couple years ago and has become a tradition. I have even registered at the www.usmint.gov web page. I think the gold still helps because aren't they the same size as a Susan B? Reduced from the old style monsters but just a little bigger?

Interesting Article. (beware the pop ups. quote: The coins could become popular collectors items, like the quarters, and might also encourage people to replace paper dollars with coins. Dollar coins would save the government as much as $500 million a year because they last longer than paper dollars, according to a 2002 report from the General Accounting Office, the investigative arm of Congress. But consumers have so far been unwilling to scrap their $1 bills, and efforts to cut paper dollars from circulation have been met by stiff resistance. Yeah I like my dollar bills but I've gotten dollar coins in change from postal machines and they aren't so bad. I'd use them if I had them. (Why post in politics? Simple; anything mentioning the government is gonna head that way anyway )

It doesn't talk about the probabilities. I was mistaken. And I didn't think water was an actual acid but that it destroyed stuff similiar to an acid (and even that is a very loose interpretation). Just wanted to clarify that.

Thanks guys. Hasenau: How goes the store? You still on AOL?

Now he has me intrigued. It's past his bed time. Has to be.

Been reading about this for months. The super secret society that wants to rule the world. Who now doesn't care (as opined by others) who wins the presidency because one of their own will be in no matter what.

That's my favorite section. Water is life giving yet destructive as well. I have always thought that water was a mild acid. But I kept that to myself for fear of getting jumped on by science majors. Turns out I was pretty darn close. I think that article talks about the probablilities. Did ya'll read the whole thing or just my quote? It's really good. Go back and read it if you didn't. I checked the link and it still works as of today.

A financial board I read wanders all over the place much like this one. The subject of immigration both legal and illegal came up. The best thing I ever read was a comment by one poster. "We're full bub. Go back home."

Ok, dumb question. quote:needs to be changed to this.... All Images, Manual pages, etc from Universal Combat (UC), Battlecruiser Millennium GOLD(BCMG), Battlecruiser Millennium (BCM),and Battlecruiser 3000AD (BC3K), are all copyright property of 3000AD Inc. Now that there is a thread titled Battlecruiser Generations with the possibility of that coming out should the copyright notice now included that info as well? Turns out I'm not right after all. I missed the inclusion of UC and will fix my site within a few days.

Yes thank you.

Water is pretty neat. Interesting article from the LA Times. It's actually titled "Seeking Life as We Know It" and talks a little about possible ammonia based life or silicone based life. quote:"We even have trouble understanding what's alive and what's dead," Zare said. "People still wonder what a virus is." Then it goes into a a fairly good description of water. Stuff I had forgotten or never known. quote: All life as we know it is spun from carbon-based threads swimming in water solutions. Both carbon and water have unique ÔÇö some say magical ÔÇö properties. Indeed, physics and chemistry strongly suggest that life might not have had a choice. quote:On the face of it, water seems a rather silly molecule ÔÇö two hydrogen atoms attached to an oxygen atom in a way that looks like the head of Mickey Mouse. Even children know its chemical formula: H2O. But the bonds it forms with itself and other molecules are anything but ordinary. Atoms normally bond by sharing the negatively charged electrons that buzz around their positively charged nuclei, like people sharing popcorn at a movie. In water, the oxygen shares one electron with each of its hydrogens, leaving four extras. These clump together as "lone pairs" that can grab onto other molecules like prehensile feet. At the same time, the two positive hydrogen nuclei stick out the other side like arms. The "feet" of one water molecule grab the "arms" of the other, forming abnormally strong networks. Where one water molecule goes, the others tend to follow. Thus, water can climb tall trees ÔÇö hand over foot, as it were ÔÇö in defiance of gravity, carrying nutrients from the soil to the leaves. Chemists say they would expect water to be a gas at room temperature because it's made up of just a few light atoms. But the strong bonds make the molecules stick together in a liquid form. Luckily, the bonds aren't so sticky that they form a viscous gel ÔÇö something that Boston University physicist Eugene Stanley initially found perplexing. Water flows freely, he and others discovered, because water molecules stick to each other only briefly, let go, grab another partner ÔÇö whirling an ever-changing cast of partners around in a molecular square dance. The upshot is that water stays watery over a remarkable range of temperatures (32 to 212 degrees Fahrenheit, to be exact). This is a liquid bonanza for life, which seems to need some form of fluid to transport things from place to place. In solids, molecules stick together and can't go much of anywhere. In gases, the molecules don't get close enough to interact. Water's unbalanced geometry ÔÇö positive charges on one side, negative on the other ÔÇö also gives it a distinctively schizophrenic personality (although chemists, like psychiatrists, prefer the term bipolar). This makes it an excellent solvent. One side of a molecule grabs on to negative charges; the other side grabs the positive. This pulls most things apart, so water can dissolve almost anything. (If things didn't dissolve, they'd sink to the bottom, or rise to the top ÔÇö not good for a free flow of chemical reactions.) Why doesn't life just disintegrate altogether in water then? While water is one of the most strongly bipolar molecules, it is not the most reactive ÔÇö meaning it can make things fall apart (dissolve) without changing their composition (react). So the parts can be endlessly rearranged. There's more but didn't want to make a huge post. But I love little factoids like this.

Congratulations Greg.

DO NOT REPLY TO THE "LET'S MAKE FUN OF DEREK SMART" etc THREAD

Cool page Stickman. Over 21,000 hits? Wow. My dad has, as my mother says, "more tools than the law allows and than some", but he doesn't have a lathe. I'm guessing that's a metal lathe since you talk about making threads from brass stock?

Marriage has changed over the years Interesting article. Supports Grizzle's comment about property. I stumbled across while trying to find a US Government study that stated some seagulls were gay. I remember reading about it just can't find it. So much for homosexuality not being natural. At least in some cases. It only comes up for me if I type in "gay birds" in the search engine. Hehe. That's funny. As always with a Yahoo link grab it quick. quote: By me Chavik Technically probably legal.I was mostly wrong. Read somewhere today that only 12 states do not specify that marriage should be between a man and a woman. But Most did specify in his opening statement what our opinion on it was so I think it should be allowed. Monogamy is not natural either. Species of birds are monogamous but some aren't and a lot of mammals aren't but some are. And dogs do hump each other but I will admit it more of a domination thing. Can we drop the marry a dog thing? Dogs can't talk or make decisions the same way a free thinking adult can. NAMBLA should be stopped. Children cannot make decisions either and tend to do what adults tell them. I would also allow civil union that gives the same rights as marriage but the gay community seems hung up on the word marriage. Eh, give it to 'em. So what's wrong with Gay Marriage? What makes it not right?
