Hi Sassi, Been there, tried that!! I consulted Adam at the time, and it seems the file is too big. However, my computer skills are limited, so feel free to give it a go. If you succeed, it's all good, if not, I'm happy to keep sending!! Cheers, Lisa Presto2 & Macca, I'll send yours from home ton...

Hey Richard, Terrific news, congratulations!!! You picked a great time of the year to move to Queensland as well. I hope all goes well with the move. It would be a huge job, moving interstate, and starting a new job in the space of a few weeks, though it sounds like you have a few rellies to help yo...

My apologies Kel, You did P.M. me, but I tend to read some posts etc. at work, (depending on time) then I send the slideshow from home (usually very late at night!!). I didn't read your P.M before I did the last batch of requests, so you're in tonights list!! Sorry, it's been a huge week, both at ho...

Hi Sue, I got an excellent one from K-Mart in the pre-xmas sales in December. It talks, rotates all the planets around, has a quizz button, and other features. Probably won't stand up to too much student "activity", but for $29, it beats the scientific ones in the budget stakes. I would sc...

Julie, Wendy, Wayne and RosalieM,
I have sent the slideshow to you tonight. Sorry it took me a while. Friday, I was on a training day(out of school) and today was a public holiday in S.A. so I have been enjoying a long weekend.
Let me know of any problems.
Cheers,
Lisa

When I started at this school last year, I was invited to the first faculty meeting, introduced to the staff, then the staff were told that they were very lucky to have me( I filled the position the day before school started) and to be nice. Since then, I am invited to, and attend our fortnightly me...

Hi Rae,
All done, no worries. Don't worry about the 24hrs notice. The shock of someone actually doing that could kill me!!!! LOL!
Cheers,
Lisa

Noona, Jilly and Tracey,
No worries, all sent. Any problems, please let me know.
Cheers,
Lisa

Hi Pommy, Because I only work three days a week, My HOD and I asked for a weeks notice, but you can imagine how hard that can be to grasp. I think it should be up to the labbie to determine what is a reasonable time, according to working conditions. As Noona said, in the real world, there will alway...

Hi Again,
Those that asked for the slideshow today(Monday) should have it now. Let me know if any problems.
Cheers,
Lisa

Hi,
To those that asked for the slideshow, I got them off today(I was crook yesterday). Let me know if you have any problems receiving them.
Cheers,
Lisa

Hi Narelle, I have a great slideshow, which has pictures of, and names, various growths on agar plates. I have tried to attach it, but unfortunately, the file is too big. If you could provide me with an email address, (either p.m or on this forum) I would be happy to send it on. I'm sure you would f...

Lizzie, It sounds like you have had one hell of a week, and my condolences to you and your family. It appears though, like me, you always look on the bright side, and know there are always people a lot worse off than yourself. So I am glad you enjoyed the concert, and it's lovely to hear there is st...

Ocker, Like Ellice said, micro burners are just small bunsens. There is no difference in price between the LPG and natural gas ones, but I can't believe the difference between micro and standard. Coxy, Thanks for posting. Yes it was you I was talking about. The bunsens shown in my Westlab catalogue ...

Hi, Thanks Lyn, for the info, but Omega is the supplier I was speaking of, and currently use. The standard burners are $14.30 in my current catalogue, but I am after micro burners, and they are $25.30, although now, I am thinking of getting a mix of both, to keep costs down. Thanks again. Lizzie B, ...

Hi Cindy, Organic acids go in the Corrosives cupboard. My cupboard resembles a 2 door pantry cupboard. In one side, I have the "acids", in the other, the alkalis. Then, in the acid side, I have separated the organic and inorganic onto separate shelves, in alphabetical order, and of course,...

Hi All, Late last year, I remember someone mentioning that they had bought some Bunsen Burners, and that they were happy with the quality, price etc. I have tried searching the forums, but have not come across that bit. I am in the market for some new ones,(we use micro burners) and would appreciate...

Welcome Megz, It must be funny as an "ex" teacher, to read on this site all our whingeing about them!! But honestly, they can make your job a misery, or a pleasure. I hope you enjoy the Chemtalk site. I'm sure I speak for most, when I say you'll wonder how you ever got by without it after ...

Richard, Glad to see you miss us all already!! So sorry to hear about your accident. I can't believe your ok now,(only a week later) especially after a fight with a 4WD. Couldn't you have picked a Mini or something!!! I hope your new job is going well, I bet it's not half as interesting as labbie wo...

Hi All, I actually started back at work on the 12th, but I've been head-down, bum-up in my compactus until today. I got heaps done, but the "little darlings" came back on Tuesday, and ruined all that peace and quiet!! Wendy, sorry to hear about your leg. I hope the cast doesn't get itchy i...
