Supplemental GF tonight?
Let me know if it's a possibility.

Alison,
yes, 5 years...

Thanks Jess!

Interesting name thing...

There's another Mary Elizabeth Kupchenko. And we go to the same pharmacy and optomestrist. She's 80ish, and I'm not. And we're not even remotely related. She's from those OTHER Kupchenkos.

Whoops! Should of read Alison's post befor I posted. Is that the MSDS for Bhopal? The plant was being ignored and the staff was undertrained. Union Carbide should of done a better job to prevent the shanty town from getting so close to the plant. They should of also made sure all the safety measures were in working order and had a better maitenance crew. They were also storing MIC (The chemical the plant was manufacturing) in large quatities. MIC is only a intermediate for the pesticide that was being manufactured. MIC is a volitile substance and they shouldn't of stored it in such large quatities since it was a intermediate and not a finished product. So the basic cause for the diaster can all be traced back to management and their blindness in seeing the conditions of this plant. Bhopal was the largest diaster they had but as a company Union Carbide actually had many incidents that happened at there other plants but weren't as big. This shows the low performance of this company in the area of management and safety loss management. Yes I was studying for my final and yes I'm just regurgitating out what I just finished reading.

I still don't get what MSDS is. I'm not geeky enough?

are you really Adrian Christopher Hastings?
hmm... if only you were old enough to have been born in 1929... in Kuala Lumpur...

The only other Alison like me has a middle name of Joy... and she's a couple years younger than me and lives in Dawson Creek, or Innuvik, I've forgotten. And we're likely related.

And, I didn't think Material Safety Data Sheets in and of themselves were all that geeky to be honest, just the context in which I was so interested in them... so it's much less so the topic but the context of the thing with that one. I mean, really, every work place that uses chemicals has MSDS sheets hanging around, it's only when someone (like me) gets really excited at the idea of seeing one up close that it becomes excessively geeky.

I'm dead??

And I meant trainwreck, sans la unnecessary K. Thanks Par. - And, by the way, I don't make my sandwiches like Tycho - just my taco-stuffed lobsters. (And with my +4 Constitution modifier ... deliciousness ensues, always.)

Sorry, I meant MSDS...

Par what the hell is HSDS?
