WSI New Whale Award, & "No Smoking, we have our Own!"

So today our previous Whale Award Winner (aka Fat Army Spouse) of BF-326 was crushes by a newcomer: WF-330 on All American!! I think the scariest thing is that everyone lies on their ID, so they MUST weigh more than that in actuality... HOW is that POSSIBLE?

As per No Smoking, We Have our Own, feast your eyes upon the masks handed out by the LT tonight (and my lil makeshift sign). On Post they Control burn the underbrush in order to lessen the likelyhood of actual forest fires. This doesn't seem to stop the general public (or soldiers) from warning us to call the fire deptartment... because there seems to be a FIRE on Post!! Tonight after my regular shift ended they starter a burn somewhere near All American freeway entrance. It started out ok, like they do, until people driving by were telling us they felt sorry for us. The LT swung by to hand out masks (boy I wish I'd had one that day on Yadkin when I thought I was going to throw up from smoke inhalation!) They itch fiercely and don't block near enough, but they are indeed better than nothing. At the end of my 21 hour day the smoke seems to be just another irritant. Woke at 0515 to take Hubby to work and couldn't go back to sleep due to class. Done with the assignments I could do there
so I basically farted around in Word. Couldn't sleep AFTER class so I argued amiably with Faygo and Erich until having to leave to my 12 hr day at the glorious employ that is Wackenhut.

In good news, ECU wrote me back telling me they'd evaluate the unofficial transcripts I sent them to see where I could drop into their Bachelor's program (omg the chance to get out of FTCC's 3-year associates track? Yes please! Who purposefully stacks their 2-yr degree classes so you HAVE to take them in 3 years... AFTER taking all the OTHER classes you need. Ridiculous!!

Could be going to a 311 concert with Hubby on Friday, which would kinda destroy the plans I'd setup, but we can really do them any day we manage to steal to be together... 311 he's been waiting for, for 8 years he said? Wow. Worth the effort I think. I'm rather excited to go, since I know it was something HE wanted to do. I drag him to a lot, and he doesn't get to drag me to much (besides the gym :P)

Ok, brain is dripping out ears. Time to pretend I want to be here for another 30 mins. Eek.

/yearning for her cool, soft bed...

    Mz Stella, I would stay you probably don't live near a military base. You don't get to see the women who trap young, dumb, soldiers into marrying them so they can sit around, unemployed, not going to school, just.. eating.. and watching soaps.

    I would venture to say a person who feels my comments are 'mean' is probably a little more than heavy themselves... Fit people rarely pull the Medical Disorder card when we're talking about poundage that is so far beyond rational.

    Having a medical disorder or physical inclination towards being 'heavy' or packing on the pounds doesn't mean you grab more donuts in your misery: it means you make time for that cardio; you skip the junk food in favor of a grilled chicken salad.

    Quit sitting at home whining about some web personalities opinions on your thunder-thighs and go for a walk. Seriously... I'm not famous, nor interesting. So you surfed on in here when you could be doing something to battle your medical condition.

    URGH! Now THAT'S a mean post. You don't like it: Don't read it.

Star Trek Diplomas: All of them. I think.

Image
So... StarTrek.Com has released a Starfleet Academy Diploma.  I wanted to see if the design was supported by canon (because I'm a huge fact-check nerd) and in my quest collected what I think to be all the diploma designs officially used on the show. I'm still looking though, so if you find one I don't have here, please leave a comment! Confirmed authentic : Voyager epi "Non Sequitur". It appears to be the first time a diploma had been shown, if rabid Trekkers diligently duplicating it is any indication. If you register at the LCARSc site, you can download a free template to make your own! (ref: http://www.lcarsc.com/entry.php/34-Freebie-Friday-Starfleet-Diploma ) Confirmed authentic:  Enterprise : "Storm Front, Part II" Earlier in storyline, later in established canon. Found via http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Starfleet_Academy_majors Official StarTrek.Com diploma (Released 2012):  I can't find any epi screenshot t

De Groote Museum

 De Groote Museum (The Great Museum) is centered around the concept that everything is connected . It's part of the Artis Royal Zoo complex (like Micropia) but has a separate entrance and fee (included in the Museum Card).  The museum was closed for 75 years (not a typo!) and reopened in 2022. It used to be the  'Main Building' or 'Zoological Museum' for Artis. You can read more about it's scientific use at their website ! ARTIS honorary member and professor of Anatomy Willem Vrolik (1801-1863) gave lectures on the autopsies he performed on animals that had died in the zoo. He published the very first scientific description of various animal species. After the autopsy, the animals were prepared and ended up in the museum. At that time, ARTIS mainly wanted to collect and understand nature, in order to promote knowledge in an accessible way. The main hall has a nice area for rest (and maybe yoga). Everything needs rest! There's a soundscape that plays throug

Classroom Architect

One of my assignments for Intro to Tech for Educators was to design a classroom (to certain specifications). I'm posting it here A: Because it's neat.  B: In case the file upload goes wrong.  C: Look! I made it a science classroom! Look's like the one I had when I was in 7th grade science! Bangarang!
