Posts: 49409 07/07/08 10:20 AM CoAdmin.w/Grace06	Are the drawers in your kitchen organized sensibly? Are the things you use most, stored in the highest drawers (minimizing the need to bend or stoop)? Are the things in those drawers located to work smoothly with your kitchen work triangle? And just in case you thought you were getting off easy, what about your cutlery? Do you prefer serrated blades, or other? The seven deadly sins are: 1. Gluttony 2. Anger 3. Envy 4. Greed 5. Lust 6. Pride 7. Sloth

Full-Fledged Member Posts: 6255 07/08/08 12:18 AM Ann: eyes that laugh	First closets, now kitchen drawers? - BF You missed the conversation about kitchen counters, poor thang! Actually, my kitchen drawers are more organized than any other part of the house. What in the heck is a kitchen work triangle?? I only use a serrated knife for cutting loaves of bread. And most of the bread we eat is already sliced, so it pretty much just sits around. Kind of like I do when it comes to anything that has to do with cooking. Wisdom is self-regenerating.

Posts: 49436 07/08/08 06:02 AM CoAdmin.w/Grace06	"What in the heck is a kitchen work triangle??" Ann The concept for the kitchen work triangle was developed by the Small Homes Council of the School of Architecture at the University of Illinois in the 1950's. An invisible "work triangle" is created in the kitchen by the arrangement of the sink, stove and refrigerator. The placement of these three elements in relation to each other is intrinsically connected to designing an efficient kitchen. http://www.renovationexperts.com/kitchen-work-triangle.asp "Ann, he also missed the bathroom fixture topic." Sher Let's just go with the flow Sher. We wouldn't want to force it. [note: this joke may not be recognized by those not accustomed to some New York accents.] PS Sher, Last night I saw a picture of the Centennial Bridge in Panama. Gorgeous.

I know the drawers are a mess, but it would never hurt my feelings if someone else wanted to fix them right. Maybe I better check your link out?

Posts: 49470 07/08/08 09:06 PM CoAdmin.w/Grace06	Dan flatters me. But the truth is, if I knew an squirrels that big (compared to that huge suitcase camera she's holding) I'd kill her and eat her. "How did you happen to come across that?" Sher I've got no excuse Sher. It was just dumb luck. I like architecture, and I used to cross the George Washington Bridge a lot when I was a child. Perhaps my interest in suspension bridges stems from that. There's a whole lot I don't know about Panama. But I'd love to learn more, in person. Perhaps someday, in the dead of Winter, when the temperature plummets into the 90's down there, I will. Gorgeous bridge. Thanks Dan. (nice squirrel too) The seven deadly sins are: 1. Gluttony 2.

Full-Fledged Member Posts: 2412 11/19/60 03:15 PM Interpreter Extraordinaire	Sear, I'm disappointed that you want to kill the squirrel, especially after learning that she knows how to use a camera. I had a small role to play in the building of that bridge, Sear -- I translated the technical specs so that the company in charge of the building could understand them. Hundreds of pages of construction terminology, with words that were not found in any known dictionary. But in truth, it's my joke, and I don't even get it. --- Sear

To me, a major role would be more like placing the explosives to blast the rocks, and stuff like that. I don't think we can trust sear around animals at all. Yes, let's not allow our pets to come near him. But in truth, it's my joke, and I don't even get it. --- Sear

I imagine that must have been extremely challenging. I gather you had to specify stuff like the composition of the concrete, the types of ends on the cables, perhaps including alloy specifications, physical tolerances, etc. It must have taken your team months! You've obviously done a superb job. It's one gorgeous work of art. Oh, yeah, it's also a really cool bridge. "I don't think we can trust sear around animals at all." Ann Ann, Last weekend a friend of mine and I drove his brother-in-law home. When we arrived, we showed my friend's granddaughter the pet rabbits b-i-l had. My friend stood there looking at them mumbling about hosenphepher, etc. (a German recipe for rabbit). But I cautioned him about asking: - So when you gunna eat them bunnies? - I pointed out to him, he wouldn't want b-i-l to ask him: - So when you gunna eat your beagle? - The rest of the visit was fairly civilized.

I understood enough to translate it, but I could not imagine the processes. It must have taken your team months! It was done rather quickly, and they did send the docs in one at a time. It was a one person team. In translating later docs that they sent, I was able to figure out the reason why the builders were delayed about a year or more in starting the works: the president of Panama back then (someone I didn't vote for, mind you) had set things up so that she could steal the money allocated for this project and then have the bond company pay for it, writing it off as inefficiency of the design company. It's really difficult to explain the whole thing, and it took me a while to understand it myself, so I won't go into the details, but the amazing part is that she got away with it. The only thing her team was smart for was corruption. It sucks, doesn't it? But in truth, it's my joke, and I don't even get it. --- Sear Last Edited By: Sherezada 07/09/08 09:03 AM. Edited 1 time.

I can't imagine how you did it. "It sucks, doesn't it?" Sher Political corruption? It must be so humiliating for you. Thank goodness there's nothing to be ashamed of in U.S. politics.

Full-Fledged Member Posts: 2419 07/09/08 11:20 AM Interpreter Extraordinaire	Sear, I'd have expected at least one expert in construction, also fluent in Spanish. There was one, a Jew engineer who had experience with this type of construction, and was also fluent in English. Poor guy, he was so tired of me calling him to ask questions about construction vocabulary. I know this because he told a friend of my mother's. The problem I was having is that Panama uses a technical construction vocabulary that is not used anywhere else in the world, so even a Spanish-English construction dictionary would do me no good, unless it was written in Panama. Let's just be glad that the bridge turned out fine, thanks to my harassment of the engineer. But in truth, it's my joke, and I don't even get it. --- Sear
