Yes, I get to play with the equipment! No Higher, not that kind of equipment. Yes, spending my day playing with earthquake experiments and writing!! The experiments are computer generated for the most part, so I'll have lots of fun.

It's something different. I've not done any technical or scientific writing for a long time, so I look forward to it. At least there won't be any writer's block. I'll find time to drop in here, I'm addicted.

2. You are a bus driver. At the first stop of the day, eight people get on board. At the second stop, four get off, and eleven get on. At the third stop, two get off, and six get on. At the fourth stop, thirteen get off, and one gets on. At the fifth stop, five get off, and three get on. At the sixth stop, three get off, and two get on. What color are the bus driver's eyes?

3. Some months have 30 days. Some months have 31 days. How many months have 28 days?

4. A man lives in a house with four walls. Each wall has a window. Each window has a southern exposure. A bear walks by. What color is the bear?


5. A horse is tied to a 30 foot rope. A haystack lies 40 feet away, but the horse is able to eat it. How is this possible?

Hello H. How are you doing? Tiff here.

 

[higherlevel4u]

Hello H. How are you doing? Tiff here.

Hiya Tiff! I'm doing great, thanks ..... the sun's shining here in England, it's going to be a nice day, so everything in my garden is roses ....

How are you? I suppose Lynn's in bed again?

Yeah, she is. We share the computer and she usually has it during the day, then we're both on for a couple hours before she goes to bed, then I get it. So....I guess you're stuck with me again.

Interesting arrangement you have there ..... presumably it all works very well? I'm intrigued ...

It works o.k. Better than before. We used to always fight about who gets the computer (even though it's mine) and complain about how long the other had it, etc...but we're doing better now. She's gonna be moving out soon then I'll have it all to myself.

I bet you'll miss her when she's gone though .....

 

[let_us_lick_u]

Of course I'll miss her. We love each other dearly and after 4 years of only being able to talk via email and snailmail, we finally got to see one another when her and her family moved in with me and mine. Now, she's going to be moving out and who know's when we'll see each other again.
