Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Cathy, this is sooooooo funny!!!!! My husband is a chemist and he will get such a kick out of this!!!!
You did a great job of matching the colors from the scale! Love these gemstones!

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Hubby says at least I didn’t give you any caustic remarks. I told him I just kept to the basics. ROTFLOL Now you know what life is like at our house!
On Jun 28, 2009 at 7:58 pm #
Cathy H Chocolate Chick says:LOL – Basically, I know what you are talking about!
On Jun 28, 2009 at 8:04 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:I read on your profile that you & your hubby are pharmacists. Do you work together?
On Jun 28, 2009 at 8:06 pm #
DOG Chick aka Angela says:Gorgeous Cathy H! It is like a rainbow! I guess it shows that I know nothing about chemistry!
On Jun 28, 2009 at 8:09 pm #
Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:Very cool pick!
I’m slightly familiar with it because of the pool chemistry. LOL

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Angela, it IS like a rainbow!!! Very cool!
On Jun 28, 2009 at 8:13 pm #
DOG Chick aka Angela says:Ok, I get it! I need a pool! Sounds good to me, especially with a 109 temp outside!
On Jun 28, 2009 at 8:15 pm #
Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:I can’t believe your temp. We’re lucky if we’re hitting 80 around here. and sun? what’s that?
On Jun 28, 2009 at 8:21 pm #
DOG Chick aka Angela says:It’s not usually this hot but every year at this time we spike to around 105 and then it goes back to the 80′s and settles in the 90′s. We have had a couple of years that went to 110-113 and that was a little toasty! Thank God for AC!
On Jun 28, 2009 at 8:28 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Wow, that is really hot for Northern Cal! Our son-in-law was born and raised outside of San Francisco. I’ll have to tell him about these temps — he’ll be shocked! He and our daughter (and the 3 girls) live here in Indiana now. It’s been in the low 90′s with lots of humidity this past week. Supposed to cool off this coming week.

DOG Chick aka Angela says:I actually live closer to Sacramento where it gets very hot. Although, we have the Sacramento Delta (which feeds into the Bay) we are still far enough away to get really HOT! Then again, we don’t have to deal with significant humidity and that is why I don’t live in Houston anymore! Too muggy for me!
On Jun 28, 2009 at 8:39 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Dave is from San Ramon. It’s amazing to me what a difference there is in climates throughout the state of California! I can definitely see why you don’t miss the humidity of Houston! How long have you lived in CA?
On Jun 28, 2009 at 8:43 pm #
DOG Chick aka Angela says:Ok one last comment then I have to go. San Ramon is on the other side of Mt. Diablo and closer to the Bay. It tends to be a little cooler over there but I’ll bet it is still over 100 today. We have lived in CA since right after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake! Still “rockin’ and rollin’ in Sunny CA”!

Chicky Bear-Tara says:This is very pretty. I love the rainbow and the Ph scale!

Julie v says:I haven’t thought about pH in years. Brings back memories of my school days. It is a lovely rainbow pick…

Cathy H Chocolate Chick says:Thanks everyone for your comments!!

Kitty Chicky Cat says:So very pretty!! I never would have thought of the pH scale as color! Very Cool!! It does match the chart!! I look @ this and I ‘m thinkin rainbows! It’s one of those days!
low 70s and dry here! Feels good after high 90s and humidity!!

KPJEWELS says:Cool pick. We have been having cloudy, foggy and rainy days now for about two weeks with high humidity. It is wicked with the humidity. The humidity is raising the temperature by about 8-10 degrees and we are sweltering both day and night. We don’t normally get this kind of weather in our area this early in the year. Hope it clears away soon.
