Thanks, Jet, but I'm too much of an optimist to be interested in The Doomsday Vault and Nukes. But the efforts to save seeds for the future is a great idea.
There are some beautiful libraries in the world, some of which we've posted here or in the "where in the world" thread, but not many of them have plants and flowers integrated with the library setting. These are not really mixing books and bulbs in the same space, but I like the idea of gardens on library roofs: You can read where this one is:  I really like the look of this one, the University of Warsaw library roof:  |

I believe I actually might have posted one of those before, in the Visual Architectonics topic.
(I think it looked more like an undulating golf course on top of a building, maybe somewhere in Southeast Asia?) There's something wrong with me. I never have anything to say.

I try to remedy the stallwarts with reminders that conversations flow best, but the contradiction still remains: I still have little idea of how to start one.
Here's a futile shot: would anyone care to do some algebra with me, until whenever the next topic emerges from its mole-hole? additional: I found THIS when I entered the query of sample algebra problems into the big G.

I'm pretty damn good with algebra...now. Back when I was first learning it, it was a struggle. But then it must have fermented in my brain and suddenly I realized it was flowing like second nature...or first nature, if you prefer. I almost always help my two high school aged boys with their math homework. When I was much younger, I enjoyed tutoring cute girls who needed help with math.
I just looked at Jet's link above and found this word problem: How many quarts of pure antifreeze should Mr. Alberts add to 10 quarts of a 20% antifreeze solution to make a 50% antifreeze solution? |

My algebraic tutoring stories is limited to just the one, and it was quite long ago, embarassing, & had to be capped off with my earnest yet idotic statement of "we just got paid". youth. i want you back.

10 20 50 quarts ... my answer shall be 15 quarts. I probably used math to figure this out, but my deductive reasoning skills in life are likely more advanced than any mathematical ones I still have left.

Ethylene glycol,
since it's poison, killed my cat; I guess maybe six. Deductive, I'm not. Redactive, I try to be. Sue me for nothing. 2+4+(8-5)=9

Problem #16 - Synthethic Division
Divide: -8x2 - 7x + 2 x - 6 Answer: ____ -- to note: the original problem had multiple choice answers, but again, that invoves some form of deductive reasoning, in which the least likely answers are elimated in favor for the answer that looks more likely. I'll see if I remember how to solve the above (hint that may throw all of us off: do I use the quadratic formula?)

See, now it's going to kill me - what was his "formerly" username? Hain? Oh, that's his new one.
I believe I'm recalling this right - the virtual persona known as Dilbert1234567(?) also liked to dabble in numbers, if I'm not totally making this up. Last bit of nostalgia: do you also recall who was the original girldetective? (I have a feeling she's written me off.) - - - Plus: ring, how am I supposed to share all that I am if I never have any time? Here's gift, seeing as I recall you mentioning how much you adored that one topic devoted to paraguas (I am just now noticing that the Spanish word for 'umbrella' can literally be translated as for {use in} water... refreshing) from the following folders... Share on TFP -> Nonsense -> Umbrella click to show

For the first time in a long time, I'm finally going to get around to clicking these youtube boxes.
Going to start with the most logical occurrence, that being the one directly in front of me (above me; I didn't start watching it until 2:01). "Stay Strange."

I surely would not want to be the poster-child for "normal".
On the other hand, you may have noticed me previously posting that I no matter how weird I think I am, I eventually conclude it is within the realm of normal. |

The "realm of normal"
trains its broad shoulders as toys & not all that well. I went to St. Paul, last night, for "Above the Line..."; met artists' mothers. What the artists said was unclear in both cases, & one was ugly. I'll be editing, not for personal reasons, nor professional.

It was in St. Paul,
& even up the four flights, I didn't trip once. Since you found a "place", I'll go & make the next guess, trying to find you.

catch me if you can
which brings back very fond memories of me chasing Maria around the library...I mean laps around the outside. Inside we sat next to each other and felt childhood orgasmic sensations as we touched hands and legs. I wonder where she is now? Where in the world are you, Maria. |

When girls tickled me,
my reactions embarrassed, 'til they said, "Yes, please." Not knowing reasons, not caring any longer, but able to try.

To find something through your own means is fulfilling. And it leads to other things, some good (familiar), some bad (dead-ends).
It's my prerogative to look, discover and decide what's worth any effort at all.
