What's on your mind?

[.Mikha'el.]

Thank you all again for your prayers and support. Grandma passed away today. I only have one grandparent left now...

 

[( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]

Daylight savings time! One extra hour tacked onto the weekend!

residents of Hawaii or some parts of Arizona need not apply.

Ah, I see, Multifavs. I am sorry, but, please try to think of it this way, that she obviously has not suffered long. I worried a bit when you first mentioned her progressing illnesses and complications a few days ago, that it would go on for potentially years for her. You will see her at the resurrection again some day, however, as per our faith.

My thanks to everyone here who gave their prayers for me when I was down yesterday. I feel I did much better today. (And if Sara still finds things to complain about next time I see her, she is no longer my trainer, sooo ... quite frankly her opinion matters not anymore. Hah! *deliberately being childish there, no worries* )

Thank you. Yeah, at least she's not suffering anymore, but we're going to miss her.

Heard the train nearby slam on it's brakes and hit something soon after, a little over an hour ago. Also heard an ambulance heading in that direction a couple minutes later, and fear it may have collided with a vehicle at a crossing. Not 100% sure, but prayers would be appreciated for anyone who may be injured.

Bohemian Rhapsody only opens at the end of the month here, but it's a must see for me. Queen the first band I got into, and while I don't listen to them as much these days, that early exposure has definitely shaped my music tastes.

I don't normally bother with movie trailers and cast interviews and the like, but I have been watching them for this, and if they are anything to go by it's going to be awesome. Just based on the snippets I've seen, Rami Malek appears to done a really good job of being Freddie Mercury. The one downside it that it doesn't look quite right seeing him as the moustached version of Freddie, but it's not like he can change his facial features, and I think it will be less jarring seeing the progression in the movie rather than selected clips.

Although talking about facial features, the actor playing Brian May not only looks a lot like him, but sounds like him too. And it's not a voice he's adopted for the movie - that's how he speaks naturally.

I remember when that movie... came out...

Another cool, pleasant morning.

Thanks for the prayers yesterday as well; it can be somewhat unsettling hearing an accident like that take place closeby.

I just rediscovered - probably for the first time since graduation - this blank hardcover book that I had apparently recopied all of my notes over the semester from my first college chemistry class in preparation for the final exam. That was already fourteen years ago? When you put into perspective like this, that that is the same amount of time that it took from my first breath as an infant to my first day of high school (which I remember sucking =P ), it really does seem like time always seemed to pass by more slowly whenever you look back upon your younger self.

Let's see if I remember half of this stuff ....


On the first page ... The definition of an isotope? No.

A few pages in ... The shell models of the first twenty elements on the periodic table. ... Uh, sure?

2/3 of the way in ... Ah, IUPAC naming of organic compounds. That was something I still understand and was the king of in my class ... sadly.

So, I was looking over my 23andMe results and ran across this:

"A note on translating generations to years:
Population geneticists have estimated that the average generation time, or the number of years, on average, between the birth of an individual and their child’s birth, is about 29 to 30 years. Contrary to popular belief, this estimate seems to be true even going back in time hundreds and thousands of years. So if we wish to crudely translate between the admixture date in generations to years, we often multiply by 30."

I'll have to remember this whenever someone suggests that having children after 30 isn't natural. Before birth control, women used to have children until they couldn't. Perhaps sometime in their mid 40s.

My grandparents were in their late 30s to early 40s when they had kids. My great great grandparents were also in that same age range when they had children.
From what I do know about my family and recent ancestors and their families 29-30 year old parents seems a pretty reasonable average. I think most of my family were between the ages of 25 and 35 when they had their kids. With exceptions up and down.
