I have to admit, when I first glanced at the problem, I thought "can I have paper and pen", and then I looked again and realized it wasn't necessary.
Man, just ascend already.

[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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I think my committed laziness would win out over my non-mathyness on that one

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Also, I have a student who thinks 27/3 is 24. A simple misunderstanding, but worrisome.
I had a college student who didn't know the difference between 2 1/3 and 2 * 1/3. Every homework assignment, when there was something like 2 * 1/3 in a calculation, she put 7/3. Took me a little while to figure out what she was doing, and then much longer to explain to her why it was wrong.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
I think thank you notes are sort of ridiculous if I give you the gift in person and you thank me at the time you open it, etiquette bedamned. I dislike receiving those too. But then I'm not big on cards in general. I should, however, get around to writing thank you cards to those who I'm sure think less highly of me for taking so long.
ION, today I purchased a djembe drum! I had quite a good time drumming with others today, really uplifted my spirits. Supposedly there are quite a few drumming circles in my area, which is good.
In sadder news, I do not have a leash.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
No lie. I've seen them. Everyone should send Cass gifties just as a means to see the pretty notecards.I like candles, good conversation and long walks on the beach...
Also chocolate.
Sounds like a person who thought of manners as obligation rather than lubrication (also a big poor-me-everyone-else-sucks person, let me say). Oh, and hypocrite, of course -- I mean, if you'd gotten thank you notes from her, as you should have, probably you (clearly a very thoughtful little Cindy) would have been writing them too. If she thought they were basic courtesy and wasn't writing them, then SHE'S the one who was being rude.So DAMN much this. I was expected to write thank you notes to people whom I had also gifted and did I ever get a note of thanks? Nope. Pissed me the hell off.
It is a paradox.An annoying one too.
Oh, quick math survey. Can you solve this problem without calculation: (87 * 326)/87 ? Would you expect an eighth grader to be able to?Yes. Yes.
Nighttime... I need a fire and some wine. Then to collapse on couch.

I'm already curled up on the couch, and now I am wondering if I want a beer.

Cat has been shot. And is still snuggly. Also fed.
Fire has been lit.
Cass has wine and with enough will also be lit.
Sundays are goooooood.

Oh, Lee, beth, I SWEAR I'm going to come get my stuff. Promise. I just, er, haven't. Yet.
How can all my kids be failing? HOW?
Oh, that's right. They don't do the homework. Never mind. Pity it's parent conference week.
