Don't mess with Darkblade. He's a vampire possessed by all powerful demons. Who apparently aren't powerful enough to help him get a girl he's stalking.

Greentree, I thought it was Autumn there too. ///Please dont be alarmed at the biology website. It is just that I had never come across an i as notation for o group and I have read ALL the top biology/genetic books and all the experts on this site had not heard of it either , like me they only knew the aBo notation. So I wondered if it was just a Canadian thing, I was not trying to prove u wrong. But I do go into things deeply. Well finally a biologist has come back to me on this, he is a Canadian too and he did some web research, found a Canadian site (will shout it asap) that does mention your ii notation but then apparantly says it is best to stick to the well known universal ABo notation . I think it mentions Vancouver??. G/ tree dont worry please.////////Trees ARE beautiful, I would find it awful if those around me went.///I admire them too and in fact I suppose u could say I love them. But animals are higher up the chain of life . Y,know, plants, animals humans and a tree is a large plant. It cannot possibly need u like an animal can (cats being animals) it cannot form a relationship with u that a cat can. It has no central n s like a cat has and so on.Plus isnt it wrong to dislike our brothers and sisters the cats??//// Methinks u are having me on a little!!!!!But above all u carry on liking trees I shall BUT u could learn to like cats too. They need all the friends they can get.Take Care Aileeny

Greentree, Sorry to go on but who taught u to represent the blood group o allele as an i. I am really intrigued to know as I have researched this through a biologists site and they have never heard of the o being represented as an i or ii and neither have I. Looking forward to your reply. //BTW I am showing my ignorance but what season are u in now in Canada. TTFN

Greentree, Thanks for reply. No I am not a biologist but I have a great interest is all life and how it functions. I am 68 ( see profile) and when I had my first son in 1963, I became engrossed in embrology and genetics and swotted up with library books then bought books. I then did an o and an A level at adult ed. And passed with As both times but I have read and studied even deeper than A levels. I must have ALL the top genetic /biology books around etc. I am fascinated by it and I pride myself on my knowledge being correct. Looking back I realise now that this intrique was always there even as a child as I can remember thinking things like" can a cat mate with a dog and if it could what would the baby look like" etc, whilst friends played hopscotch or whatever. I always felt a one off. I guess u could say I am a frustrated lay biologist. But I have learned so much in my lifetime about all species that have given me a life s interest. Blurtit is brilliant for satisfying my academic brain.!! How about u? U obviously know some genetics, where did u learn? How interested are u? Were u interested as a child/ Looking forward to a poss answer. BTW I was taught to use A and B as dominants in capitals and o as recessive not in cap. Example AB, Ao, Bo oo, AA, BB, . Likewise hair colour = D ( for dark, dominant hair colour) and "little" d for fair. Example genotype dark haired = DD if pure breeding and Dd if carrying for fair. Cheers Aileeny. England.

Hi what's up?
