Come On Guys, Fill Up That Member Map
Worked for me. Hopefully, the CIA doesn't think I blew my cover by doing this.

A Little Random Knowledge
Ive given up on the triangle. Thats so far out of realm of knowledge it ain't funny. Now this on the other hand. I may not completely understand it, but I want to. I even checked out some library books on it. I also borrowed my SIL's old chemistry book to try an figure it out. I've even enlisted my sisters friend (she is pre med and also majoring in chemistry) to try an help me out.

A Little Random Knowledge
Ain't seen that yet. Definitely putting it on my list though. I remember reading a USA Today article on the Chernobyl Babushkas. Its about a group of people that returned to the exclusion zone a few years after the accident. Now its mainly 70-90 year old women left living there. I'm gonna try an post it on here tomorrow morning. From what I've read Fukushima didn't release tons of radiation. Seems that most the safe guards worked. I did not know that about the radiation from coal power plants. Thats interesting. You have got me curious about that now.

A Little Random Knowledge
I actually read two articles a few hours ago. One was talking about different safety devices and building techniques on some different reactors. The other was a in depth but more simplified explanation of what happened and is happening at Fukushima. Both were quite interesting. Three Mile Island I have only began reading about in the past two days or so. Chernobyl on the other hand has fascinated me for years. Not only the dusaster but also whats become of the villages and people that were in the vicinity.

A Little Random Knowledge
For the $5004.32 a week after taxes, the job is paying. I will be more than happy to learn how to freeze my butt off. Plus ain't no driving involved. I'm given transportation to and from the jobsite(s). Still, I would learn how to drive in the snow for that kinda money too.

Let's Talk Turkey.
Assuming I'm still in Alabama we are doing Ukrainian style this year. Holopche (stuffed cabbage with bacon, and cooked in tomato sauce and bacon fat), Petahet (perogies), hand braided bread, and other traditional food. Its fun when we branch out.

I'm having a helluva time with that. Ct. got put off until the 18th. Now Its been out off until after January. I'm talking to two different companies right now. One has work in Alabama and the Florida keys. The other has work in Arkansas, North Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, and Arizona. I'm torn between Key West and North Dakota currently.

A Little Random Knowledge
Aww come on fellas. Yall know its fascinating. The amount of heat continuously given off by a single element over a long period of time. At least I haven't started bringing up radioactive decay and the formation of new isotopes from the decay of a different isotope.

Nice pictures Homie.

A Little Random Knowledge
I was perusing the interweb today. Reading about nuclear reactions, nuclear reactors, and doing more research on Chernobyl and Three Mile Island. When a thought occured to me. How hot would the molten uranium in a core mass from a meltdown have to be to melt through concrete? Well I think I found an answer that does a good job of describing a total meltdown leading to China Syndrome. Its actually an extremely interesting article. http://www.cavendishscience.org/bks/nuc/quests.htm

Very true. Her and the other area moms were on top of their game with this one. They would buy, sell, and trade with each other. They also had group coupon cuttings and other meet ups. I bwlieve at one point there were 100+ moms involved.

Yup. Thats the current route we are planning on going. Couldn't do it last time because of the meds she was taking at the time.

Pretty ballsy thing to do. Or would it be a nutty thing to do?

Freaking diapers are expensive as all get out. I told her to get cloth diapers. She said I would be the one washing them. So we went with single use. Formula was another wallet killer. Hopefully we don't have to go that route this time.

What Did You Miss?
I slept for most of my high school graduation. Stupid slag next to me kept elbowing me and rah rahing at me. She was so rude. Slept through my sister in laws wedding. My at the time 1 year old son and I took a nap. When I woke up, we had missed the wedding. Barely made it un time ro the reception. Seriously though I was planning to miss the wedding anyway. My wife still doesn't know that though.

Simple Math Question
My remedial algebra professor had glaucoma, least he liked the medicine A LOT. He also was the biggest nerd I have ever met in my life. Almost on par with my English professor. She wished it was still 1960 and she was back in a commune.

Simple Math Question
I just called my sister about the question. She explained it to me. As you said there is no square root of a triangle. Basically the link you posted is the simple version of how she described it to me. Something about using the square root of the hypotenuse to find the length of the third leg of the triangle. Or something along those lines. I got Ds in algebraI and algebraII. I ended up having to take remedial algebra in college, and finished the class with a 32. Like I said letters aren't supposed to be involved with math.

Simple Math Question
That's actually very similar to what I told him. His mom shot it down though. Honestly I don't even know where he learned the word square root. The boy is in Kindergarten. He dang sure didn't hear it from me.

Simple Math Question
a squred + b squared = y squared. So assuming that it is a 90* triangle (right triangle) a and b both being equal in this scenario. a would be equal to b squared or thusly being a to the fourth power. So the new equation would be a to the fourth power equals y squared. Thusly a to the fourth would give the length of y squared. When multiplied by the hypotenous of the triangle. Thusly giving you the length of y. Which in turn would be the square root of said triangle. Least I believe that's how I remember it. I'm not sure though. It may be the square root of a to the fourth power times the hypotenouse will give you y squared.

Simple Math Question
My 5 year old son asked me a question today at dinner. "What is the square root of a triangle?" Well I am completely stumped on this one. Once they started adding letters to math, I kinda checked out. So all you math gurus that fish. What is the square root of a triangle?
