I think however that the truth might be really boring. The waiter did not bring the cake, his assistant did and as soon as the waiter realized what happened he ran to our table feeling so bad, until he saw us laughing and loving it. I think the guy who brought it might have been a nubie!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17041122116481448321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-31115920942572045472012-07-11T17:25:32.957-04:002012-07-11T17:25:32.957-04:00Wow, Erin! What brave, exciting news! This is so...Wow, Erin! What brave, exciting news! This is so cool!<br /><br />I wish you were close by. I used to work as a math and science tutor at a college. What science did I tutor? CHEMISTRY! <br /><br />For fun and learning, are you familiar with the Periodic Table of Videos? <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxZBZQaMcoI&feature=plcp<br /><br />It's a fabulous online chemistry resource from The University of Nottingham over in England. They address elements, molecules, reactions, and vocabulary terms and go on cool chemistry field trips. And, PTOV has a sister program for physics called sixtysymbols. You can follow Brady Haran (the filmmaker) on Twitter at @periodicvideos . <br /><br />Periodic Table of Videos:<br />http://www.periodicvideos.com/<br />and, the YouTube channel:<br />http://www.youtube.com/user/periodicvideos<br /><br />sixtysymbols:<br />http://www.sixtysymbols.com/<br />and, the YouTube channel:<br />http://www.youtube.com/user/sixtysymbols<br /><br />I love, love, love the PTOV folks, especially Brady and the Professor, because they long ago "adopted" my geekling and have been so gracious toward Eddie. My son is very much a bullied outsider at school: the peculiar, brilliant, enthusiastic, energetic, clever, different boy (autism spectrum) with the incredible imagination and sensory filtration issues, verbal processing disorder, and low tolerance for frustration. *sigh* And, these dear chemists over in England have given him a precious dose of being an insider. They have given him geek street cred. ;) *warm fuzzies* *bursting mommy heart* Martyn Poliakoff is pretty much a rock star in our household. lol<br /><br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/periodicvideos/4229689492/in/photostream<br /><br />http://periodicvideos.blogspot.co.uk/2010/04/one-of-our-biggest-fans-at-periodic.html<br /><br />Inspired by both PTOV and Mythbusters, Eddie even had a chemistry themed birthday party one year! All of the young guests got to experiment with Diet Coke, Mentos, and rock salt. <br /><br />Anyway, seriously, Erin, if you need chemistry help, email me! Barbara and Deb can give you my email address behind the scenes (please!). And, I'll give you my phone numbers via email. I hope you have a GOOD experience with chemistry this time!Rigelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-3796022373681421562012-07-11T16:39:11.980-04:002012-07-11T16:39:11.980-04:00(Separating this so it's more obvious to other...(Separating this so it's more obvious to other readers here)<br /><br />http://www.cakewrecks.com/<br /><br />You will laugh your ass off seeing and reading about these cakes.Dawnhttp://boom-child.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-20954924205775467522012-07-11T16:38:00.498-04:002012-07-11T16:38:00.498-04:00I googled the name Nasim.

One of the loveliest gifts you can get is the one you give yourself. Cliche, perhaps, but it also happens to be true.<br /><br />I'm with the crowd who thought "TUWYL," as I'm sure it will be shortened to in the chat world, was absolutely hysterical. <br />Please let Colin know we love it, in case our tweets get lost in the shuffle. :DDawnhttp://boom-child.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-7674745379465180922012-07-11T16:19:16.974-04:002012-07-11T16:19:16.974-04:00Erin, congratulations on making such a big decisio...Erin, congratulations on making such a big decision and going through with it! <br /><br />I don't know what you'll specifically be studying, but I found in the world of science that flow charts work wonderfully. <br /><br />Cell starts here--->does this--->then this--->then THIS-- = Done!<br /><br />History can work this way, english. Maybe even math. <br />Start w/ 12--->divide by-->add to --->answer.<br /><br />That is the kind of organized thinking I needed. Whether this does it or not, I hope something works for you.<br /><br />Best of Luck!!Dawnhttp://boom-child.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
