If it doesn't still have the webcam snapshots and Dimrill in it then it'll be no good. Also why can't they just get off their arses and make a sequel? Can't imagine it wouldn't sell. |

Urgh, you have my sympathy. It could be the only way she can express how she feels about the state of the world; I'd have *a lot* more tantrums if I thought I could get away with it - but it's not really appropriate for a 34yr old, apparently. Can she say what's wrong? I found with mine that the biggest cause of anger for them was not being able to communicate what was wrong when it was a relatively minor thing, so it'd build with frustration into a huge big thing. |

Normally it's fairly obvious what's wrong, or she specifically says, but at the moment the only thing that she's verbalising is how terrible and grumpy and mean a mother I am so I have to suck it up until she decides otherwise!

Oh that's a classic, isn't it... It's always mummy's fault. She obviously feels you're responsible for something she's not happy about, like the house move or sending her back to school! Hopefully it passes soon - she could be feeling anxious about it all. You know she's only taking it out on you because you're closest though, they have the unrivalled power to make you feel like the worst person in existence but you really aren't! |

If you blow up and properly tie a balloon the elascity of the balloon probably compresses the air a bit, yes, due to the force of wanting to return to a smaller, pre-inflated size. Usually the volume of air in the ballon stays about constant for a week or two, three, then tge balloon gets slowly smaller. Why? The molecules must be taking up the same volume, yes? So, are they escaping? If so, why only after two weeks? Does tge balloon degrade? I wonder this often, but I remember very little of physics or how to apply it here. |

| Post subject: | Re: Bits and Bobs 49 |
I think when you're blowing up the balloon the size increases quickly first of all and then slows down but the pressure increases more. |
|
| Author: | Mimi [ Tue Jan 09, 2018 17:48 ] |
| Post subject: | Re: Bits and Bobs 49 |
So, do you mean it is losing air from the start but the size is maintained in the first week or two as it equates to a loss of pressure, and it’s only when this pressure is lowered to equal, I guess, the outside air pressure that you see the actual difference in size? Yes, that seems to make sense! |

The lowest of those figures, in packet, is 30g, the highest 57g, so even without the quibbling over the weight of the bag there's a disparity of 27g. Anyway, enjoy your crisp bonanaza. |

For science! 1. Pick up the bag. 2. Weigh yourself, make a note of the reading and stay on the scales until after point 5 below. 3. Open the bag and eat the crisps. 4. Put the bag down (not on the scales, obv.). 5. Note the new reading on the scales. 6. Deduct the reading at point 5 from the reading at point 2 to calculate the weight of the bag. NB if your scales aren't accurate enough for so small a measure, buy a bargain box of crisps and eat them all, then do the same calculation after discarding the bags and divide the result by the number of bags in the box, BUT DON'T PUT THE BOX DOWN UNTIL AFTER THE FINAL CALCULATION. |
