Hey folks, another Being Bears that’s based on a truish story. Yes , I did try to bite the tofu bites from Laura’s hands, and yes I failed and I’m not ashamed!

This episode is based on a true story/conversation/squeeze!

First, apologies. The last couple weeks have been very tough. Laura had (and still does) important assignments and we didn’t have the time to complete any comics (both Being Bears and Bears of Lore).

But we have some time now and managed to get this one completed. Its a sort of continuation of the previous comic and based on a real, hilarious discussion.

—- update —
Big Bear’s comment about Biologists and maths is a comment I actually made, and it is somewhat influenced by the Physicist Lawrence Krauss. In 2012/2013 Prof. Krauss gave a lecture at Curtin University, Perth, Western Australia. At the time I was pursuing a PhD in Radio Astronomy. In his lecture, he put up an equation (I can’t recall the equation) and he said, in jest (and I am paraphrasing): “To the Biologists in the room, this is an equation. The term on the left equates the expression on the right!” So when Laura was trying to figure out the maths in her Advanced Systems Biology class, I made that comment (after I asked about conditions and she got exasperated).

Based on a partially true story. Laura is doing a biology degree part-time and one of the classes is (as I understand) has some maths and coding. I was sleeping (I had the day off) when she texted me about needing my brain to understand the maths. Although, I probably would be spinning on my chair If I was working.

I work from home and once or twice a week, I would work in the office when Laura has classes at the university (which is in the city my office is based). After covid, my company moved to a flexible working scheme and I don’t have a dedicated desk, instead I have to book a desk that has a screen, keyboard and a mouse. One time I forgot my personal wireless mouse at home and had to use the one on the desk. I actually cleaned it with hand sanitiser! *shudder*

Two weeks ago, I got really ill. Laura took care of me and then she got ill, I got a bit better and had to take care of her. For more than a week we were both really ill, taking care of one another.

Another real conversation and a call back to Episode 272: Coffee

Its the second week of 2025 … yay. I love the Christmas holidays as I get to “shut my brain down”, and last week I had to return to work after two wonderful weeks.

Happy Holidays and Season’s Greetings, everyone. Hope you have a safe, fun, happy and wonderful time.

Season’s Greetings. I was sitting on the sofa and my phone fell out my hands, I tried to catch it and knocked a few things away, including the phone. This was the actual conversation, that resulted. Thought I’d add a bit of action to this one!
Ask me after the Christmas season, if I can still see my toes!
