Do you have "close" PF friends?

We don't name a girl after her father while the father is still alive either. Lest the angel of death come for the elder and mistakingly take the younger.

I really didn't look into it, Jimmy. I recall one of my Egyptian teachers has a name #### Ali Ali Ali Ali Ali then some other name.

I thought it's easier to just say her name then Ali⁵.

Borek has been helpful to me too with genealogy. Thank you Borek.

I don't really know anyone here
I just try and help people over in homework and coursework

I'd like to be everyone's friend though!

I'm another newby who missed the wonderful camaraderie I had as an undergrad in the physics study lounge in college and decided to seek it out on the internet.

I've met some really wonderful people on here in the few months I've been on, got some great recipes, learned more about eggplant than I really needed to know, helped with homework until I ran out of yellow legal pads which I've finally replenished, and had a lot of fun in the relationship section and random thoughts.

My fish is the whale shark because a baby whale shark thought my boat was its mom and it laid its head on my dive platform and cosied up to the boat for quite a while. it was very cute in a very very large sort of way but I have no idea why I was asked for "my fish".

I posted a long poem for Borek to help with weird English but don't know if he saw it.

In all my other forums I personally know many of the members but so far on here I haven't run across any I know. I'm game for that Aruba meeting so I can see the goats in the dividivi trees one more time.

I actually have more information on eggplants...

You didn't get fish whacked?

netgypsy

Please share the eggplant info

Nope???

Speaking of naming, I know many girls who have been named after their fathers. My grandmother's name was Williamena after her father William, my next door neighbor's daughter was named Clintandra after father, Clint, and mother, Sandra. A female friend was named Michael after her father.

Some of the most genuine people I've ever met are members of this forum. I'd like to think I've made a few friends here, even if it hasn't been explicitly stated or made official by any means.

THWACK!!!

You are now officially initiated into Physics Forums.

Quantum Physics and Optoelectronics?

Sounds like friends material to me.

Without motorcycle mechanics? We need more "stuff". Some sciences are "interesting", but lack substance.

dlgoff

Well. Anyone who can consume Ghost Peppers without blinking has to be a friend of mine; motorcycles or not.

OK, there are reasonable exceptions. The first year that I had a garden here, my neighbor walked up here, and I picked a couple of ripe Savinas as we cruised the garden spot. I ate mine. He nibbled on the end of his, and took it back home with him.
