I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

vw, sorry to hear the head is being nasty to you. But good on you for applying to Oxford! How exciting.
Raq that is about the most awful thing I've heard. I hope your family is able to get out of there without too much damage done to R's career.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm having trouble picturing Bogart with an echidna.
vw, I hope your head feels better.
(Parenthetically, are migraines really as common amongst the general population as they are among the Buffistas? Or do y'all suffer more because you have scary big smart brains?)

Shit. My son, who appeared to be finally cleaning up his school-related act, has 30% averages in math and english.
Just shoot me now. I have nagged. I have checked up. And he loses the fricking homework after he does it.

Can he do his homework on flypaper?
((bhp))
eta: Actually, if bad organization and/or forgetfulness are the core issues here, would the teacher be willing to let him turn in his homework via email? Math would be a little harder to show on the computer but I think Nisus Writer is supposed to handle equations and expressions well and I assume Mathematica would. I imagine they must output to M$ Word somehow...

Oh Betsy, that sucks. Do you have one of those all-in-one printers at home? With my 4th grader, we were having the same problem, it would end up anywhere but his backpack and never make it to school, so we started making copies and putting them in his backpack, in his math book and in his lunchbox so he'd end up with at least one completed copy at school no matter what-- I know that your son is older but it might work.

I was just going to ask if the school is at the point yet where he could submit it electronically, at least as a backup.

Aw, Betsy, that sounds so frustrating in a kill him/love him kind of way.
vw, I hope your head is feeling better.
They posted our new salaries with our 2% raises. I am earwormed with Seven-and-a-Half-Cents, but I will not be living like a king.

Unfortunately, one of the big burning issues is that he lost his math notebook, which is a physical object containing all math class handouts, and is regularly checked for completeness. So not so much with the electron-friendliness.
