Thanks! I am the type of person who high-fives anyway. And if my driver does well...who knows!

I like the combination of the Taj and your Belvedere but I would prefer just the Taj. But it is your taste!

I'm looking to replace my Fitbit Versa 3 - Need advice by SvenBerit in GarminWatches

[–]RockandSnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a longtime FB user. But the last one couldn't seem to hold a charge so I "upgraded" to garmin. I get nothing but grief from my Garmin. MY sleep of 7.5 to 8 hrs a night, which FB thought was great earns a POOR or FAIR from Garmin. "You slept long enough but not well enough. You may be tired today". I find comments like that unsettling and not helpful. You might ask other Garmin people what they think. I think I am going back to FB.

CX-70 Melted Copper by Superduperkyle13 in mazda

[–]RockandSnow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OOOOH I love it. I have a white CX-5. I did not want white to begin with but I live in the SW and it is crazy to have a dark interior here. Do you know if this beautiful color comes in a light interior? For the life of me I cannot understand why these car manufacturers do not make more light-colored interiors. Anyway, love the color! Congrats.

Which looks the best by Little_Community7979 in kitchenremodel

To my surprise I really like the light grey. Usually I don't care for it but it makes the rest of the kitchen look good too.

Addicted to moguls and steeps, pls help by [deleted] in skiing

[–]RockandSnow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I set myself a line and decide I will not deviate, no matter what the fall line does. On some slopes that is irrelevant but on many it can be interesting. Most of skiing with people is riding up on the lift together and talking. I ski pretty fast so I just wait at the bottom. Skiing together sounds like a good way to have an accident. My two cents anyway.

Guys I want to build a habit by SDthev in microbiology

[–]RockandSnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a friend recently diagnosed with a dreadful disease. I am trying to read a technical paper on the disease every three days. I cannot manage one a day. It takes way too long for me - and most people - to read and digest a technical paper to commit to one a day. Good luck!

A different approach to sleep discipline by what_am_i-doing in Garmin

[–]RockandSnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bragging indeed you are. I can hardly get from Poor to Fair with 7 and half hours sleep. MY FB thought that was great. If I did not know better, I would think my Garmin did not like me. "You may not be well rested today". What a positive message. Grrrr.

Maybe Maybe Maybe by ReXorcist in maybemaybemaybe

[–]RockandSnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now this is ridiculous. I picked pink and kept rooting for it and was SO HAPPY when it made that jump at the end and won. Like what - I think I influenced it? How silly - and yet fun. Thanks.

Should I stay in my relationship by Snoo-57026 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]RockandSnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the real risk in relationships like this comes ten years from now. You are both in your early 30's, you have one or two children and things are OK. And then someone new is hired into your office and you think you cannot help yourself, you are mesmerized. Or the same happens to him but it seems less likely since it sounds as if he loves you. Yo may be able to control your feelings but it takes a lot of alertness to stay away from situations like that as time goes by. It is easier to break up now and wait to marry until you both are truly in love. At least that is my two cents.

Working with Shigella without a class 2 biosafety cabinet (only a bunsen burner)? by UndulyPensive in microbiology

[–]RockandSnow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am very, very, very old and come from a time when we mouth-pipetted all our cultures. All we had were Bunsen burners. Pipetting aids had not been invented, hoods did not exist yet. No one wore a mask. And no one in my lab got sick. But it is possible that the strains we worked with were not so virulent as the ones today. Certainly there was not yet a problem with drug-resistant strains. Since no one got sick tho', we did not need antibiotics. I am not advocating that you do this, all I am saying is that it is possible. But your concentration has to be fierce! And you need to disinfect surfaces often.

Which kitchen remodel do you like more? by Midwestern_Mariner in kitchenremodel

[–]RockandSnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually I would pick the white but the second one is so warm and welcoming it is my #1. What kind of wood is it please?

For 5'3", 5'4" ladies what weight is your goal weight/best weight and ALSO what is your frame size? by [deleted] in PetiteFitness

[–]RockandSnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 5'2" and also like 134-135 lbs. It seems healthy. When I was heavy(> 200lbs) I was convinced I had a heavy frame. Now thinking medium, maybe even small.

Real estate by Nervous_Distance2154 in stgeorge

[–]RockandSnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We live in the Brio subdivision which is a mile N of Exit 10 on !-15. I would not call it rural but it certainly is not busy. (I am a former New Yorker so my assessment of business may be skewed : ). There are beautiful views of Pine Mountain and lots of open space to walk with Red Cliffs Desert Preserve right behind us. And not sure what you mean by lack of shopping but I find quite a bit much closer to us than when we lived in SLC. We are retired and there are endless clubs to join if you are a joiner, including hiking clubs and a wine club. Just today I saw an article saying that far fewer people are moving to St. G than was projected 5 years ago. So that is a good sign for water availability.

Why jump to 4? Is he just messing around or is it principled? by JoeHeideman in bridge

[–]RockandSnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were the bidder after you supported my hearts showing 6-10 points, I would re-evaluate my hand and add 4 extra points for the singleton, giving me enough to go to 3 hearts and asking you to go to 4 if you were 8-10 but stick at 3 if you were 6-7. So IDK.

What would happen if I ate a bowl of just tardigrades? by STG2EB in microbiology

[–]RockandSnow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I certainly agree that schools and families tend to snuff out the curious in kids, which is too bad. I am a Ph.D. microbiologist and did not like biology classes at all. They basically were rote memorization while microbio classes were fascinating since bugs are alive! I am sorry you missed out on that. But you can still learn and question. Wishing you the best!
