ScarletFrost Manguusu ScarletFrost Most forms of alcohol are good. Except for the one they use to kill frogs and preserve their guts. 我が気、挽回に満ちたり ! 死屍凄愴、此処に極まれり ! Formaldehyde's not an alcohol, it's an aldehyde (no hydroxyl in the molecule, unlike alcohol). 'Tis rather toxic to humans, no matter how it gets in the body. One ounce containing 37% formaldehyde is fatal. I agree though, it is disgusting stuff. *EDIT* Also, I got Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition a couple days ago. It. Is. AWESOME!!!! Taste my full power! Now die a pitiful death! There's also isopropyl, which isn't edible. On the plus side, if you drink it, your corpse won't have trouble with stomach fungus. Ah. I did not realize that isopropyl alcohol was used for that.

It's a disinfectant. So it's used for things other than stopping the growth of stomach fungus.

I thought they marketed it in the form of drinkable stuff by putting an "Everclear 100 proof" label on it. I guess I had better stop trying to save a few dollars... wink On the up side, I doubt I'll ever have issues with stomach fungus. rolleyes

(it's only real purpose is for mixing) It has the smell, consistency, and dare I say, taste , of isopropyl alcohol. I wanted something stout one night , and told the bartender at the place I worked at to give me a glass of his strongest stuff. As a joke, he gave me a glass of 190 proof Everclear (apparently it is the purest drinking alcohol you can get according to him, and here in MO, it is prohibited for sale to the general populace). I drank all that he gave me (probably about 4 ounces), and refused to make a face, probably one of the hardest things I have ever done. Now I have a rep in all the local bars, even though I am not a frequent customer of any of them. LOL I know I put 100 up above, but the owner of the bar actually made a certificate for me afterward, and I went and found it after reminiscing. Thinking back now, it is probably more like drinking gasoline.

I'm in a seriously depressed mood. I came across a sketch in my computer and started crying. It's an unfinished picture of my uncle reaching out his hand towards the viewer as if to ask "Is everything okay?".
I really miss him.

You forgot to mention that's what Methanol is converted to in your liver by alcohol dehydrogenase wink That's why you go blind...mmm self-preserving liver. & remember kids, never store your formaldehyde in the fridge 3nodding ...sorry...apparently being up to my eyeballs in research papers makes me slightly tapped. @ Sapphirianna - It's hard to be reminded of those we lost at first, but after a time you come to cherish those reminders. There was a time when I couldn't stand the smell of roses, because they reminded me of my grandmother, then, one day I loved them again, for the same reason. Only in my house can you describe a rose as smelling like Grandma wink

Never thought I'd be one of THOSE people, but I exchanged 244 messages with a friend last night while I was bored at work. razz It was lots of fun tho! I hadn't talked to this guy since high-school and getting back in touch with the old group is always fun. It makes me homesick tho.
You think I'd stop being homesick after 5 years, but no. crying

In my experience, you never stop being homesick sweatdrop (My father ended up moving back to his home town after 40-odd years, and hasn't felt more at home since...probably helped that he moved into his childhood home xd ).

I don't know...
I am one of our group who has stayed close to home, and I dislike it partly because so many of the old group isn't here anymore. After 13 years though several of the group have moved back to the area, which is cool, but now all I hear is, "We figured you would be the one who left and never looked back..."
Sometimes, I wish that I didn't let us settle here, but my husband thought I wanted to stay close to my family, and I thought he wanted to stay close to his, so we never really discussed it until it was too late.
Now i find myself hoping like hell he gets laid off so we won't have any other choice but move... I know it's bad, but there it is.

He doesn't have to get laid off--if you can find another job and switch without much down time in-between, it's easier on the finances. I'm cheering for you to do whatever you want! Lift those roots and WALK! biggrin

Lift those roots and WALK! biggrin Ahhh... neutral ...But you don't know my husband... As long as he has a 'good' job, we won't be going anywhere... He is very resistant to change, even when he wants it... if that makes any sense... He is always worried that things might end up worse than they are, so when things are better for us some people around us, he would rather stay where we are than risk a worse position than we are in... ...and I really can't blame him. There are allot of people around here starting to feel the effects of our collapsing economy, and we at least are pretty much out of debt (except for the house, and general utilities, but all of our bills are current)... and we have been in worse situations... ...but the more I think about it, the less content I am, because the skills that we have between us are really useless around here. The schools in this area rate among some of the lowest in the state. Not just financially and what they have to offer, but also grade-wise. I want better for my kids. I don't want them to be stuck because they fell into the rut (more like a chasym) of this area... ..and yes, I am exaggerating some. The people around here are decent, and there are benefits to be had out the a** (for those who qualify)... but it just isn't a conducive environment for a family of techies to live in. This place is for farmers, mechanics, social workers, and health-workers. If you don't fall into one of those categories, then you're pretty much boned. The healthcare employment opportunities are endless, and promising, but I've been there done that; it's not for me. I couldn't see me lasting 2 days as a social worker, I know too many people who drain the system. I'm not a farmer. I could care less about engines and the like. So yeah... this is becoming way too long and turning into pure ranting of my deepening disappointment of life, and I really have no right to complain, because life isn't bad at all. I just really know we can do better than this, and I want to. BADLY...
