> H2O?? at least that's what I think it is.. > Heike Yep. Since yesterday, I've learned 6 new (to me) names for water; Di Hydrogen Monoxide Hydric Acid Hydroxyl Acid Di Hydrogen Oxide Hydrogen Hydroxide Hydronium Hydroxide I haven't verified them, so if one or more is in error, so sorry. But I'm glad I know this, now. I felt like I was *drowning* in my ignorance. This thing has been *bubbling* up for awhile, and eventually it would *boil* over and explode like a *geyser*. But then, I got a *flood* of E-Mail enlightening me. Now, I'm *swimming* in knowledge. But, I still have this *sinking* feeling, like the *tides* of change are coming and I'll be swept up in a *sea* of controversy and contradiction. That's the *watered* down version, anyway. But, I suppose once I get *down stream* a bit, and look back at this, I'll see that things were *flowing* nicely. Sometimes, these *waves* of emotion just roll you over. Oh, well, I think I'll go *surf* the net for a while. Sorry you had to endure that :-) Rick *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
