Deep Sigh!!!! Okay, P'Wise. Stick a stupid label on my forehead and parade me around town...... for the life of me I can't remember what "DHMO" stands for. Can somebody take pitty on me and send me a clue? I'm sure some recent posts will make much more sense afterwards :-) Guesses have included; Dont Have More Opium Dis House My Own Dont Hate Me, Oprah Dont Have Much Opinion Dat Hat Most Oppropriate Dang Helluva Mess, OJ Drive His Mother Over Dont Hate Men Only Doya Have More Olives etc. Rick *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

> DHMO is the acronym for the correct chemical name of this > substance, Di > Hydrogen Monoxide. No wonder I was confused. I was thinking it was part of the Web vocabulary, like "FWIW" or "IMHO". Its a relief to hear I don't have a case of "CRS" (Can't Remember S___) disease.

Rick, DHMO is the acronym for the correct chemical name of this substance, Di Hydrogen Monoxide. For more information concerning this dangerous chemical, please check the following web site. http://lme.mankato.msus.edu/class/629/dhmo.html Steve Holtzman Vice President & Technical Manager Advanced Chemical Technology, Inc.

> 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).

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 When I met my future bride and went up to Alberta Canada to get married, I had a very New York way of pronouncing the word "water" something like "waddah". She thought it was very amusing to get me into a conversation with her friends and relatives in which I would have to say the word. Being a savvy quick New Yorker, I immediately switched to just calling it H2O. Oh yes we did go through with the marriage and are celebrating our 40th anniversary in June. I am still plotting my revenge on her in the spirit of the old Middle East saying "That he who seeks his revenge in a year's time is acting in haste." :-) ralph diaz *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
