'Out Of Gas'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I can say from personal experience that Fay is one of the least disappointing people on the interpipe. She is all of her Fay-self in person, and then plus the scrumptious sexiness of her actual self. Plus, rather giggly. With a charming British accent.

Cass, did you have a mathy question?
In semi-mathy news, I got an email from my advisor yesterday with a posting of a job teaching 11th grade trigonometry and pre-calc and 12th grade AP calculus at what sounds like a dream school:
In general, each teacher: teaches no more than 4 classes per day; has no more than 22 students per class; has two, daily hour-long planning periods; is eligible for partial course reimbursement in support of classroom teaching and additional stipends for teaching Saturday School and receives his/her own computer, professional workspace, e-mail, phone and voice-mail, and Internet access.
Now, this is a little nervous-making, as I'd gotten used to the idea of having the student-teaching semester to ease me into it, but after some parental consultation I've decided that the best thing to do is say, "Oh yes!" and see what happens, because if I really don't have enough experience for them, they won't hire me, so no harm done. But the best part of it was this: "I asked you because you are my best student who is not already teaching."
So my heart is all warmed and stuff.
Fay is one of the least disappointing people on the interpipe.I've seen Peeps vid... That's a lot of Fayness to live up to.
Cass, did you have a mathy question?It was on the ways Egyptian's dealt with fractions. But I have taken the cough med of post-DC F2F fame and can't be sure of spelling my name, so right now my comprehension will consist of find the slashes shiny.

It was on the ways Egyptian's dealt with fractions.
You mean, with the unit fraction thing? Cause boy, that's hard to do. Like, when you're adding 1/4 and 1/13, you have to find the right combination of (1/x)s. Quite taxing.
Oh, and ginger wine? Excellent. I took some to the delightful and delicious Tom and Nora Thanksgiving feast and decided I liked it, so bought another bottle for myself. Yummy.

Taking 3/8 and making them all 1/something + 1/something +1/somethings. I need to watch again.
Yeah, I'm afraid I don't get the why either, and the how for me was pretty much trial and error. They must have had a lot of lookup tables. (Though so long as you've got an even number in the denominator, you're in pretty good shape, at least for a little while.)
Bummer. I was hoping that there was some really interesting reason *why* and once I heard it, I would understand why they were taking things down to 1/something when it seems more complicated.
Except when they talked about having 5 loaves of bread for 8 people. That one (give each person a half and then divide up the remaining loaf eight ways) made sense and was mathtastic.
OK, hivemind. Where can one get white-tie or black-tie tuxedos? Brooks Brothers was the only place I could think of, and the only jacket they offer has one button and notched lapels, both no-nos.
