BRING ON TOMORROW .........

Thats Good Emma my head is busting too but what great info
You learn something new every day xxx

Right Sandi!

Now there is trouble and I want to Sue!

No where on here did it say that "you must not take you lap top to bed and sit there for hours on end to avoid sending your neck into muscle spasms and cricking your neck"!

I am in bloody agony - where is that claims telephone number!

i even asked to be banned last night just so i could actually go to bed and get some sleep !

i ended up in the police station all night ..for beating my feller up when he tried to prise me away from my geeky buds !

I would just like to say a big 'thank you' to Sandi for organising this weekend and to all the knowledgable geeks who have taken the time to answer all the fab questions.

I for one have learned loads today!

Oh I say...
we've got Theresa's claim going in for a dodgy neck, Emma begging to be banned & a police station involved

Perhaps we should have a public health warning if we do another SSW lol

Thanks guys, it's been excellent so far, you should all be proud of yourselves because without all of the questions posted there would be no answers

Many thanks to all of the knowledgeable geeks who took up the challenge from mine and Amy's begging and offered to lend a hand, without you this wouldn't have been as successful

Dont worry - once the pain killers start to kick in there will be more questions from me - my aim today is for the Skin Experts so get the old grey matter going and watch this space!

This has been a great experience....I was really missing the site today when I was at work...although I was telling my students about some of the information gleaned yesterday.

I have to say though that my highlight was the fact that some (quite rightly) would use The Complete Nail Technician by Marian Newman as a reference book, to help with some questions. Then we would have the author herself (mum) answering too.

ONLY ON THIS SITE!! could that happen...and that is why I hang around on here so much!!

Thanks again Sandi!........seriously though, chit chat only for me for a week!!

i am soooo not going to be able to let this one drop now
i have it embedded in me !
i have doug schoons book next on my list of to-do things , i have been after a secondd hand one for ages , but now im just gunna buy it at full price lol because i have enjoyed learning how everything works so much ...I NEED MORE !!!!!

I'm so thrilled the SSW has been a success!
Thanks to Sandi and Izzy and every one who took part. This wouldn't have happened with out you!xx

Yes I agree, I think everyone came away with a least one new piece of information. Thanks to all who put alot of time into setting this up.

Jules, Izzy, Sandi and all that participated..... I have had a fab time it enjoyed it so much.....thanks everso muchly xxxx
I have learned shed loads and you guys made me think about stuff that I havn't thought of in along time.....
Science geeks rock big time xxxx

hiive been asked by a bunch ofhigh schol students if it is possible to remove all or most of the smell from nail enamel.
my guess is that if it were poss then it would've already have been done
so... what is the scientific answer?

LOL well enamel dries via evaporation its those vapours that we smell....
Now, some are stronger than others, due to their chemical composition, but like all things, good ventilation whilst working and not having your nose right over the bottle or the nail will help....thats my non technical and probably not much use answer lol.....
I think the best guy to ask would be Doug he just loves technical questions lol xxx
