Huh. I'm wondering if I should respond to this ad: [link] . I could certainly use the money, but something about the wording is hitting me the wrong way.
I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The "females preferred" kinda puts me right off, Hil.

One thing that pings me:
"females preferred"
Why do they care for a tutor in advanced math? Also using the word "female" instead of women. I know standard terminology in apartments for rent. In employment NSM.
t on edit heh. X-post

Yeah. I can kinda understand requests like that when it's something like looking for a math tutor for a 14-year-old girl in certain cases, but it's weird at college level. Also, I'd guess that it violates craigslists rules. Plus, the
Compensation: Fifty an hour, two hundrerd dollar bonus if I pass my test
it putting me off, too.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
It is possible the poster is female - and wants to keep out complications - bu tI don't like the bonus part - it makes the tutor responsible, not the student - which doesn't sound like a responsible student.
ION, I may need an intervention. I've been fixing the paneling for painting - resting my hand a lot. While I've been doing that , I ve been watching DIY. So many ideas.... so many plans....

Hey. New board.
ETA: Befor reading my summary, try youtube: [link]
The commercial is this adorable little boy talking about a movie he saw with his mom. It takes him a while to get there, as he adorable-talks about this man who was fighting this other man and so forth, but the first killer line is: And do you know what he did?!!? He kicked him in the penis. <long stare> it then cuts to a screen "Need a good doctor?" then back to the boy, who calmly and seriously said my new tagline: "He was injured. Injured bad."
It's a commercial for health insurance.

Our wings are not tired.
Hil, the student may have had a bad experience with a male tutor. The bonus could be a commitment incentive for the student. The student probably didn't think a great deal about how it would be read.
No doubt my Bobby responds better to a male teacher. Doesn't make any difference to Brendon.
Thanks amych. I'm just hoping that he discovers a passion about something some day. He could be a professional reader. He can read for 12 hours straight.

Yes I do end up guest lecturing and teaching Master Classes at universities quite a bit. It looks like I will also be teaching a class at CalArts next semester.
