Yeah, I'm a little uncertain about the wisdom of having some of those elements getting under my skin.
I too should be able to post on a more regular schedule by Monday. I wonder where I'll be?
You’d glow!
Actually, I was thinking about that, too.
I just don’t know how I could make a tattoo that would emit light. Say, a nice long strip of light along the inside of the forearm, so that I could read in the dark.
There are tats that glow under black light. The skeleton tattoo is most impressive.
But I’d need active luciferase and luciferin, and that sounds devilishly complicated.
I expect that human beings would have trouble dealing with those chemicals in the body, given that we don’t produce them naturally. It would be neat to have the periodic table in appropriate colors, though, including the naturally fluorescing ones.
Passive fluorescing chemicals can be rendered non-reactive by encapsulation prior to implantation. So you could use a pallette of fluorescing dyes to simulate the glows.
The real trick would be to be able to emit light under conscious control. You’d have your own flashlight.
The nervous system is always the hard part.
And I’m pleasantly surprised that I actually understand what you’re saying, being as I’m on my second glass of Herding Cats Semillon-Chardonnay. $5 at the Harris Teeter!
This sounded fishy to me when I read it the first time.
I thought maybe because you can buy painted fish.
Or you could swallow fish and glow from deep inside.
While checking out more names this morning, I found a whole passel of Welsh ancestors. Talk about unpronouncable names.... I won’t even attempt it. At least the dates and places are in English.
We’ll miss you. Again. Should we take better aim?
Welsh is a ghastly language. There’s a reason it’s practically dead. We don’t have enough fingers to type it! Hey, maybe their originators were aliens ...
My tat is almost 20 years old, but it still has nice color to it, and is readable. I keep it hidden, but I see it every day!
I’m ready for my second glass of Arbor Mist Exotic Fruit White Zinfandel...$5 at the local Kroger warehouse store.
Tastes like raspberries! The Peach Chardonnay is my favorite, though. Really peachy! So peachy, in fact that you can almost smell the peach fuzz. :o])
I used to drink Arbor Mist, before I found wine at the same price that I could mix with Diet 7up. I always liked the Strawberry flavor best; I’m dubious about peach.
I dunno, but I’m going to be VERY careful when I begin to put the names into the PAF file.
I went through three pages of my original sheets, checking names, and for three pages, I had all the information (or more) than what was online. However, the next page was a veritable gold mine. It really excites me to do this stuff, but then I realize how slow the process is.
When my TV is paid for, I may have to invest in a laptop, as the slipped disk in my back prevents me from sitting here for a full eight hours. It will never get done at the rate of MAYBE three hours a day.
The peach is decidedly my favorite wine. Unless I can get some real Moselle. Now THAT is a wine!!
I’ll poke around on the wine websites and see if I can order you some. DP and I used to belong to a wine club that sent us two bottles of *great* California wines each month, stuff we’d never have found in Oklahoma. It’s much easier to buy wine in the stores, here.
There is a vineyard in Pahrump (60 miles northwest) but I've never had their wines. I DID want to invest in it, when it first went public, but I didn't have the $500. My bad.
I also belonged to a beer club, and it dealt mostly in American micro-breweries. Some of the stuff is now on the shelves in some stores.
I got my brother a beer club for Christmas one year. It was hard to get wine in Oklahoma, so we got a lot out of our subscription there. Here we have real wine stores.
I’ll probably have more money free in a week or so and send you some. I have to watch the balance! but we have several advantageous occurrences in August. I want you to get past being afraid!
SInce this is Vegas, we have liquor stores that are large enough to sell everything from everywhere. If enough people ask for something, it will be ordered. SOMEone will buy it!
I’m thinking, until I can get my loan forgiveness application signed by a doctor, I’ll always be afraid. There just isn’t enough money to make it through the month, no matter what I do, or what corners I cut.
This last year, I’ve given up so much that about all that is left is giving up my wheels (insurance) and the few basic TV channels I get. I can’t give up the internet. Period. And I’m going to see about changing my insurance carrier, since they raised my rate based on my credit rating. No matter that it’s been in force for six years; no matter that I’ve never missed a payment (NV is a mandatory insurance state); no matter that I’ve never had an accident or a moving violation.
The rates went up over $30. So I checked into an insurance company that didn’t insure you based on credit. The reduction in premium should put me below what I have been paying.
You are an angel in disguise, for sure! *HUG*
