A Christmas Cookie from Santa

Bill;

Actually, you saw me in the class.

Yeh,P.E. That's why I think that your APUG picture is older than 1997!

Blue is not a color also

Blue is a feeling.

The best laid plans!

After about one week on my back sick, I am getting up and around. I spent nearly 2 weeks total what with getting ill, being ill and recovering now. So, expect delays. I was about 1/3 through the final read of the book with about 50 minor typos to fix when I got sick. I'll do the best I can what with many many doctors appointments.

Sorry.

Take care Ron , may be because of spending hours with sitting. My mother have similar pains and no pain killer helps. Thanks god, She and You are better now. Dont forget fresh air and long walks , you must exercise. Vitamins are important also.

 

[holmburgers]

Sorry to hear you weren't feeling tip-top Ron, but glad you're on the mend.

Sincere regards from Kansas... on your heads now!

(and Umut's words are wise ones!)

 

[ME Super]

Sorry to hear you weren't feeling well. I'd missed seeing you posting on threads on here but didn't know what was going on, just figured I was looking at the wrong threads. Take some time and take care of yourself, don't push yourself hard getting this book out the door. The DVDs are available, and you've been working on the book for 5 years, a few more weeks of waiting won't hurt any of us. Better to have the book available later than not at all.

Get well soon!

ME Super

 

[wildbillbugman]

Ron,
Please rest and do not worry about books and novices. You are far more valuble to all of us than even your book.

I'm here, on the road to recovery but on a light schedule, and I usually do take walks and exercise. Nothing can be done when a bug grabs you! You go for the ride and consider yourself lucky at the other end.

Thanks to you all.

You need some Toso sake Ron,

Kanpai!

Hai, so omoimasu! Ga, motte arimasen. Sucotchi dake arimasu, so omoimasu.

Heh. Sorry guys.

 

[Hexavalent]

Happy and relieved to see you back here Ron!
I'm cooking a special emulsion in your honour this weekend: Getwellabrom

 

[Mustafa Umut Sarac]

Comicaze !

 

[Sirius Glass]

Ron,

In the future, I recommend that you no longer schedule illness. If they are not on the schedule, then they can't happen.

Get better.

Hey, while you're at it make one that picks up just blues: Dustmybrom

actually, a few times I felt like I had discovered a new retch gas. Its name was "polybathroomfluorine"!

[Kirk Keyes]

Eeewwww!

I try to avoid fluorinated compounds when I can. Well, except teflons...

Make sure you take it easy for a while. And get that neighbor kid to shovel the snow for you this year.

 

[Photo Engineer]

Kirk;

Have not seen any kids lately, much less any to shovel. First real snow today, about 1" and it stayed all day.

And, if you have ever been prescribed Triamcinolone, well that is the fluorine derivative of prednisone! (and no, I did not have that but I do know the structure)

That is just TOOOO funny, Ron! I think I know that one off the top of my head so I'll give it a try (they prescribed it for me a few years ago)-

9-fluoro-11,16,17-trihydroxy-17-(2-hydroxyacetyl)-10,13-dimethyl-6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17-dodecahydro-cyclopenta(a)-phenanthren-3-one. Since I'm going from memory I might have inadvertently rearranged something.

It also has another name which IIRC has "pregna" somewhere in it but I never bothered trying to memorize that one-

 

[Photo Engineer]

I reread Fieser and Fieser "Topics in Organic Chemistry" last month and just remembered that one. My advanced organic was slipping away and this was a good refresher. Tri = 3 steps Amcin = American Cyanamide Olone = Steroid derivateve. That is the naming convention for this puppy!

[Sirius Glass]

When I was studying organic chemistry, I asked the professor about using deuterium-oxide to replace hydrogen in a ring to produce orthodox and paradox.

 

[Crashbox]

I have wondered on occasion how its name was derived, as the "am" and "cin" didn't make sense to me as I didn't see any amine or cinnamic-related stuff in the structure. But I'm just an amateur...

Thank you for the information. No kidding, it has been puzzling me for a while.

 

[Photo Engineer]

Using that analogy with D2O, you can create p-keet and Ferrous Wheel. My favorite is K9P (nona-potassium phosphide).

Now you see why I am studying up again!

Nothing like a little light reading!

I expect when you were in retching, your wife gave you plenty of Leave-u-alone!
