  1. My moon trees ok then? Sent from Rob's GalaxySII
  2. Moon trees were grown from seeds taken to the moon by Stuart Roosa, Command Module pilot of the Apollo 14 mission of January 31, 1971. The effort included 400-500 seeds, which orbited the moon on the first few days of February 1971. NASA and the USFS wanted to see if being in space and in the moon's orbit would cause the seeds to grow differently than other seeds. http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2002/13aug_moontrees/ Sent from Rob's GalaxySII

  16. tapatalk is a less data heavy way of using certain internet forums, and simpler for mobiles Sent from Rob's GalaxySII
  17. You have to have the tapatalk app which will, as you state, open the forums "through" the app If you did open through safari you'd just open up arbtalk as you would on a pc/mac Sent from Rob's GalaxySII

I hate planes! What are we supposed to do though? Were gas/face masks? It'd be way to hot and horrible ?mmmm? Sent from Rob's GalaxySII
  22. Your only as old as you feel! Bit of a detail but think its appropriate:biggrin: Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of '97. Wear sunscreen. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience...* I will dispense this advice now. Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked...* You're not as fat as you Imagine. Don't worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum.* The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind. The kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday. Do one thing everyday that scares you. Sing. Don't be reckless with other people's hearts, don't put up with people who are reckless with yours. Floss. Don't waste your time on jealousy;* Sometimes you're ahead,* Sometimes You're behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself. Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults;* If you Succeed in doing this, tell me how. Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements. Stretch. Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your Life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don't. Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're gone. Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't, maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't, maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't Congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's.* Enjoy your body, Use it every way you can... Don't be afraid of it, or what other people Think of it,* It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own...* Dance... even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room. Read the directions, even if you don't follow them. Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly. Brother and sister together we'll make it through Someday your spirit will take you and guide you there I know you've been hurting, but I've been waiting to be there For you.* And I'll be there, just tell me now, whenever I can.* Everybody's free. Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings;* They are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you should hold on.* Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young. Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard;* Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel. Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will Philander, you too will get old, and when you do you'll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders. Respect your elders. Don't expect anyone else to support you.* Maybe you have a trust fund, Maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out. Don't mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85. Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth. But trust me on the sunscreen...* Sent from Rob's GalaxySII
