This is one of the best moments in doctor who. This is right after they spend time with Vincent van Gogh and Amy was expecting that the good time they had with him might have prevented him from his suicide. So they rushed back into the present to a van Gogh exhibit only for Amy to discover he still killed himself.


Can't you guys even just imagine it?

Forget practicality, or your experience....can you just....imagine?

It's there. It always was.

I am glad there is no clot, because if you died suddenly, I would be distraught and have no way of knowing.

Agreed.

Put bee's wax on hacksaw blades before using them it, lubricates the blade and makes for an easier cleaner cut

Do you buy bee's wax at the hardware store?  I know I run my sewing thread over it when mending.  It strengthens the thread, eases the thread gliding through the material and keeps it from tangling.  I usually get mine from a fabric store.

I have bought it in hardware stores but it can be hard to find.  I got three little cakes of it in a tool box I bought at a tag sale in the spring which will last me awhile.  I did read about finding it in fabric stores when I was looking for it in the past

It is harder and harder to find, there is antiques wax, but that is diluted and softened beeswax, not good for these purposes, and not smelling that nice either.
Beeswax is great to polish metal hanging bars too. Clothe-hangers slide easy, and with far less noise, if the bar has been polished well.

"Joy" is "gioia" in Italian. It comes from Latin gaudium. Gioia is feminine, while gaudium is neuter, though. It has to do with the fact that plural of gaudium is gaudia, that in the Middle Age was mistaken for the singular.

It is more uncertain how Latin bombus became Italian bomba, though. Here it can't be a false singular form, since the form bomba doesn't exist in Latin.
