The reason we had the discomfort is because all the other answers on the page were whole numbers and could have been figured out without a calculator. It could be that the book gave one of the parameters wrong, because we have seen that before.

I have one non-existent word for you:

Kprinkle.

Have I mentioned lately that I hate winter? Because I do.

I'm sitting with Dana with a hate of winter.

Do either of you guys actually have winter?

Good thing you guys live in warm places.

KPRINKLE!!! That will make me laugh forever.

In the winter hating corner too.

Yet I live in a wintry climate. Where's the logic in that?

psst: Sue, move to NYC, less wintery.

do not hate winter, love allmy seasons (until they drag on and on and then I start to hate them).

KPRINKLE is my hat.

Winter's fine, as long as it's not snowing/raining/sleeting or other stuff is falling from the sky. I can bear the cold, but that's mostly because I drive to work and am not stuck waiting for a train or bus outside.

Can I just say that I love the occasional political rant? Especially his final diatribe to W:

Sir, you are a failure of monumental proportions. A blanched husk of an empty shell. If they had an opposite of Mount Rushmore, your face and Milton Fillmore's would anchor it with whichever Harrison gave the three hour speech in the rain, caught pneumonia and died. And I just wish someone would be willing to take a bullet for this country and commit fellatio on you so we could impeach your lying ass.

The same that keeps me here, though I hate the heat.ETA: Kathy, I'd do it, if I could scour my face after...I'm not working, and what's one minute out of my life, compared to my nation's future?

I'm ok with winter. I'm in NC at the moment, which may be affecting my perspective. But around here, I generally save my climatological hate for August.
