luuknam Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Edpo . Cover your eyes with duct tape! I got out microscope and reviewed it's parts. Then I looked up the microscope manufacturer and downloaded it's inadequate manual. I'm a bit frustrated because the objectives are not marked with the magnification on them so I'm trying to figure that out. Now I have to figure out what immersion oil is and if it is something I can get quickly. Hmm. I did discover that I have methylene blue. And slides and covers slips. But no immersion oil and I'm not finding any at local places. http://www.thehomescientist.com/manuals/Illustrated_Guide_to_Home_Biology_Experiments.pdf Page 24. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luuknam Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 http://www.condospalillos.com/blog/2016/8/9/papaya-salad Yeah, what they said: Aquà es muy difÃcil conseguir el tipo de papaya verde que se utiliza en Tailandia It's really not the same with ripe papaya, and finding one that's still green is pretty much impossible around here. Maybe you'll have more luck where you live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luuknam Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Same problem trying to obtain unripe mangos. Both papayas and mangos seem to be sold not quite ripe enough to count as ripe, but way too ripe to count as green/unripe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Today I did another cabinet front with the Murphy's oil soap mixture. Yesterday I was in a puddle of pain afterwards. It hasn't hit me yet today but hopefully it won't be as bad. It took me hours to recover yesterday. But I'm thinking that this is my version of P90X. ;) - Chronic Illness style. So 2/16 or 1/8 of the way done with this project. Now it's hitting me. Off to my armchair for awhile. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I might not actually have an oil immersion lens on this thing so it might be a moot point.. Still trying to figure things out. They appear to be color coded. How many lenses do you have? Most scopes I use at work have four, and the last one is the oil immersion lens. I think it has a black band. The lowest magnification is the red band, the yellow is the one I use for parasites, and the blue one (that never works because it gets messed up getting dragged through the oil) is the 40X which I use for urinalysis. For blood samples and tissue, I've got to use the oil immersion lens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 (edited) Critter, what microscope should I get? I don't know! I don't have one at my house. BUT...I did talk extensively with the last person I met who fixes microscopes, and he informed me that sometimes they get microscopes that have been used, fix them, and sell them. So I'd ask a clinic who fixes their microscopes and get the number and see. ETA: It's a microscopic Booyah!

JoJosMom Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 So. There are disadvantages to country living. I just got in from my evening outside chores (it's dark here now by 4:30) and went to take care of the dogs. I went to dump Buddy's backwash polluted water bowl into the downstairs toilet. And there was a freaking mouse in there. I screamed, bowl and backwash went flying, and I flushed that sucker down. And I've flushed the toilet about 19,000 times since. I may have just had a heart attack. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I went to a bar tonight. For the first time in like fifteen years! A college friend moved to town and she wanted to get together for coffee, so wepicked a place but when we got there it was closed so we went to the bar down the street. It was the kind of place where you can get a beer, or if you’re feeling really fancy, a beer in a glass with an orange slice on the rim, so I ended up with just water. Then she asked me if I wanted to go dancing! 🤣. Maybe I shouldn’t find that so funny, but I do. In case you’re wondering, I didn’t go. I like dancing, but I just can’t see myself in a club. And there’s no way I can stay up til 11pm.You sound like me.😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have decided that we are going to do something different this year. We are going to make decorations out of origami. I think that will be fun. Ooo that will be nice! Once the kids made these pretty origami stars and poinsettia-ish flowers on the road trip to Grandma and Grandpa's for Christmas and we hung them on the tree. So pretty! I'm going to try to remember to cut some paper into squares so we can do that again on the long car trip.
