AMJ Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 This is not how I got the name but it works. Rachel>Rache>Slache. I've also been called Chachel (think Rachel) Sludge ( :glare:), Sledge (I used to work construction and I am *strong*), and Slater. My husband calls me Machel. :001_wub: Eta: And DeSlacheable! That's what started the whole thing. Neat! DH and I were discussing how to put together a sludge lab sometime for our kids. When we do it we will dedicate our efforts to you!

AMJ Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 STOP IT. I do not have faulty logic. Someone said she wanted SWB to post. I said if she does, it's because SWB and I are tight. Then she did - you know, because she and I are tight. So just stop.it.now before the whole thing gets out of hand and I put you on The List of People for AMJ to Beat Up. :toetap05: DH said if I am going to be a ninja elephant I have to put a trunk on the icon, but I don't know how.

AMJ Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Love it! So happy to have that clarified. If it'd been something in French, I'd have butchered it every time. Slache I can do. (edited for typo. up too late last night) I was afraid it was going to be Irish. I can never figure out how to pronounce things from Irish spellings -- my Irish ancestors did not pass that knowledge down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only took physical science, biology, chemistry, and marine biology. Is that even still a thing? For the first part quoted: You took all that in high school? I only got to take half of that! DH says a sludge lab is where the students receive a big, gooey, messy mixture of stuff and they have to sort it all out as to what is what. It can have styrofoam, dirts, oils, water, other liquids -- anything safe to mix together. The students not only have to figure out what all is in it, they also have to figure out how to figure out what is in it. Sounds like a lot of fun (kinda like I imagine forensic science might have to handle), so I want to try one. As for the second part quoted: I was going to dock you even more points, but this is in effect a partial disavowal of the other thread, so you gain back as many points as you were going to be lose here. However, the points docked elsewhere are still docked! :001_tt2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also took 5 "years" of Spanish and graduated a semester early so that I could work full time which is how I could afford to volunteer for a year in Louisianan. I believe that every high school should have a block scheduled because I was a completely average student but I got to do some cool things simply because of the schedule.
