Ouch ouch ouch I may have fallen over her on a FB woman modellers page, but railways and politics (i have no idea of her leanings) are not a good idea, good for you to standing up to itNot sure which test you guys are getting, but the ones we get through LabCorp (via my wife's employer) don't ask for the full thing back. We just have to swipe the sample with a probe and put enough goop into a small tube of sterile solution. The tube is about the size of one of those squeeze tube one-use CA glue samples. After that, put it in a ziplock, then a box, and another plastic bag with the postal code on it.
On an off note, just got blocked on Facebook by Lucy Dormant for asking if her recent spate of politically oriented posts on her Blue Check Mark page was going to continue.
After she responded questioning if the stuff she posted was political (it was), I asked if the NMRA was paying in whole or part the fees that FB charges monthly for the blue check mark. If the NMRA is paying, I'd prefer no politics. If Lucy is paying, no problemo...
She replied that she paid for it herself. Then blocked me.
Oh well...Back to playing with trains, which is why I had followed that profile.
I have not posted on FB in a donkeys age I handed over my own model discussion page to a fellow modeller - it still does well - but I found it a touch annoying after I got it going and being polite to some people meant biting my tongue which eventually I thought I could no longer moderate it without blowing up big time so stepped away. the gifted modeller who I gave it to (upsetting a couple of real life friends
) also tends to be remote and I fully understand why.The balance this forum has is to my mind miraculous the moderators have the patience of Job. I could not keep my role there and got tired of opinions I thought stupid contentious and down right rude at times. Banning people and clearing out rogues who littered it with adverts almost saw me just delete it, and there was a community so I opted out before I tore it down. My reallife friends still moderate and agree at times they need a break from it.
I have a sense of humour (some may disagree) I like the interaction (except with idiots or idiotic actions) and rather than burn out I just walked away.
good for you though modelling is modelling. And here someone else can slap me silly if I am the one overstepping, so much more relaxing
I can't do canned veggies at all. Having had braces for a few years as a teenager all I can taste is metal whenever I eat canned veggies or even canned fruit. Got to be frozen or fresh or "old fashioned" canned like in a Mason Jar.
