Alice Audrey November 4, 2010 at 2:30 pm: When the son of one of my mother’s friends wanted to make a scale-replica of the solar system, she helped him lay it out. The son was the size of a quarter. Pluto ended up out of town. He’s an astrophysicist now.
Liz November 4, 2010 at 7:11 pm: I’m sure there is a lot of science in my tiny little apartment. Mostly in my fridge. 🙂

Brenda November 4, 2010 at 7:58 pm: Ha! You’re right. Science surrounds us. Quick examples from my life–I had a cup of coffee. I turned on my computer! I got blood out of a pillow case using cold salt water and I dug carrots up in my garden. Thanks for reminding us how important science is.

Anne November 4, 2010 at 8:34 pm: Searched the internet on how to treat dry and frizzy hair and found a terrific homemade solution: Olive Oil for hot oil treatment and Avocado with Mayonnaise as a conditioner alternative. How cool is that! I must admit though I suck in science… well, except Chemistry and sub-shells. =)

Happy Thursday!

A Redhead Named Sam November 4, 2010 at 9:57 pm: I <3 science!

The pictures of the baby guinea pigs are so adorable – I want one now. Of course, my rat terriers might have something to say about that…

I used science this morning too…My alarm woke me up, I took a shower, I drove my car to work, I heated up water for my coffee, and I used the computer to read & respond to your list.

Happy T13!

kandyblossom November 4, 2010 at 10:48 pm: Love this list. Youngest dd and myself are science geeks, continuously bringing about exaggerated eye rolls from the less enlightened family members. Last year when her class required a science experiment once per grading period, my dd asked if she could do one once per week. LOL.

Today’s science will include turning various ingredients into a delicious Brunswick Stew and fresh cheesy onion bread, stretching the tendon in my arch so that my foot doesn’t start hurting again, figuring out the dimensions of the pieces for the new quilt I am making, and trying to get the chocolate stain out of my throw pillow.

Adelle Laudan November 5, 2010 at 2:15 am: My 16 yr old daughter screeched this morning, and all I heard was ew, ew, ewwww A few seconds later her younger sister came down with dead spider and through it out the door. She shook her head and said, “Kids.” lol
It seems you live on a little piece of paradise. I’m sure all the hard work will be worth it.
Happy T13!
Marita November 5, 2010 at 4:49 pm: Oh what a shame that magnetic paint is no longer made 🙁

I did see some cool sparkly glitter paint at Bunnings. You paint on your regular paint and then the glitter paint goes over the top like a varnish. Looked super cool 🙂

I’m loving all the animal stories and pictures right now (although not the spiders so much).

SenseiMattKlein November 6, 2010 at 9:17 pm: Yes, we are surrounded by science. Might make for some embarrassing moments in my household as I am unable to explain most phenomena. Many trips to google in order.
