[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.

Hey, Cervix Lady!
No, I got no cervix questions. Just saying hi.
Looks like my midterm's finished, although my answer about the distinction between potential and actual infinity was really shaky. Mainly because my understanding of the distinction's really shaky. Still have to write my paper proposal, but I'm going to put that angst off until tomorrow and head to bed soon.
Oh, all you West Coast mothers are still up!
Aimee, you know, I'm honestly not sure. I think it depends on how far down Em's head went before your section.
Potential and actual infinity? Doesn't the concept encompass both?
And now I have a new tag.
Far enough that they had to pull her up, before they pulled her out.
sigh
I miss my epidural.
How's school? How are you? When do you go on your trip or did you go already? I am so behind. Have you seen recent pictures?

I am neither of those things, yet I am awake. Packing, packing, packing. And maybe a bath soon.
Ok, but you didn't post right away.

Potential and actual infinity? Doesn't the concept encompass both?
Well, now, sure. Thing is, the Greeks* were kind of skeeved by this whole idea of, say, there being as many numbers between 0 and 1 as there are on the entire number line. Understandably. I think potential and actual infinity was pretty much Aristotle's way of addressing Zeno's paradoxes -- like, there's no end to how small you can cut up an interval of time (potential infinity), but that doesn't mean that there's actually an infinite number of tiny bits of time in an instant (actual infinity). If you see what I mean.
(* Ancient Greeks. I make no claims about Raq's neighbors. For that matter, it may be that your regular everyday amphora-maker was totally cool with the idea of the part being as large as the whole, and it's really only the well-known ancient Greek philosophers who couldn't manage it.)
I miss my epidural.
Why? you jonesing for numb legs?
I'm tired. I think I should go to bed while I still have a chance at getting 4 hours' sleep.
