Every man wants the 3 M's #Madonna in the bedroom, #marthastewart in the kitchen and #marypoppins in the nursery!

You see? simple!

And the rest of the time, they just want a gopher.  :zoinks:

Madonna? you gotta be kidding me.

Plastic bin bag over her head and you would be hard pushed to tell it wasn't a man in drag. Maybe a decade or two ago but now its only missing the scrotum, an adam's apple and a 'tache.

It's Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge colour 'Maximum Steel'.

Looks like what we call Titanium Grey.  :thumbup:

America has maximum steel as a colour too though. Titanium grey looks closer to our 'granite crystal pearl', a colour I was avoiding.
I only really got this colour because it's never appeared on the 300. But as soon as I saw it on the American 300S I knew I made the right choice 8)

The jury is still out on my snack of Sour Cream and Onion potato chips and french vanilla coffee.

Definitely an "Only if you're desperate" combination.

Thinking about saving, and saving hard, until I have enough money for a second-hand rotavap off ebay or labauction. Alongside an IR spectrophotometer, which potentially could be built, although I'd need to buy a new mobile phone to do it and get creative, a highly efficient electric-powered cryostat and some new heating mantles w/ mag stirring to replace my mag stir-er hotplate a rotavap is right at the very top of my most wanted lab equipment wish-list.

Of all that though, the rotavap is my dearest wish, as far as outfitting the lab goes, at least, when including only those things that, financially are within the realm of possibility to attain. If I could afford it, then I'd love a HPLC-MS but that is not just entering, but conquering, raping and pillaging the realm of way WAY more money than I could even hope to save for, secoond, third hand or anything else, planting the flag in said realm and finally systematically lining up and fucking every dog formerly owned by the conquered, raped, pillaged and left impaled alive on stakes, Vlad Tepesh fashion before being burnt to the bare bedrock inhabitants.

More than I can afford as in not so much the hobo getting drunk on champagne, as a hobo suddenly being gifted their own private jet and airstrip to run it from; to give a sense of scale and perspective. But the rotavap...shit would that EVER make things so much easier for me, and faster, more convenient, its the attainable material item I want the most, a good condition Buchi model, of course with vacuum takeoff and of a size sufficient to strip large volumes of solvent, at least a few liters at a time. I don't mind secondhand, I don't even mind how many owners its had at all, just so long as everything is still in perfect working order, no wear and tear on it. But even secondhand, a Buchi rotavap would still be very expensive. Going to cut back on what I eat, until I have enough for one, keeping my eye open after I've built up a few hundred quid to spend and pounce when I see something good going at auction.

^Going by what I have seen of you, you really shouldn't cut back on what you eat.

Have you had your endoscopy?

  I can't find it on YouTube, but I heard a funny standup comedy bit years ago about how single guys
  will eat any weird combination of foods and consider it a meal.  The comedian was at home one night,
  hungry and broke, and a friend invited him over for some corn and :bacon: (apparently all the food
  the friend had in the house).  The comedian said the mentality is "I like corn, I like :bacon: , why not?"
  Initially he said "I don't want no corn and :bacon: !" but eventually he went for it because he was hungry.  :laugh:

  I can't drink sweetened coffee either.  I eat sugar by the truckload elsewhere, but never in coffee!  :soapbox:

Me too! Love sweet things, though have greatly learned to appreciate savoury things during the past couple of years much more.
