Welcome to Thursday Coffee Hour. This is an open topic thread so help yourself to the goodies and sit a spell and let us know what is new with you. Right now Curiosity is up on Mars seeing if it can find evidence of life. We know water once flowed on the planet. What we don't know is if life formed in that water or not.
Jupiter's moon Europa has long been considered a candidate for life. We know it has oceans under that ice crust and recently we found out that it has geysers. Does it also have the right conditions for life to form.
Recently one of the most exciting places in our galaxy is Saturn's moon Enceladus. We have known for a few years now that it has geysers and water. We now know that it has an ocean and a large one at that. It is also believed to have the chemical compounds in that ocean for life to be present.
So now the real space race begins. Where will life be found first in our solar system Mars, Europa, or Enceladus. I'm betting on Enceladus.
Mars and Phobes
Jupiter and Europa
Saturn and Enceladus
I just got hit with a $1,000.00 IRS tax bill. I had to cash out everything to keep the house going after my brother died. "Friends" had gotten to him for money and he wiped out Mom's account. I had to take every cent I had out to pay taxes and keep the house going before it sold. I have nothing and Reid has been wiped out with medical bills.
I am having a sale of crafts items over at my website There are some special items here at reduced cost and I still have the other items. If you would like to do some Christmas shopping early to help out I would really appreciate it.
