Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Math is this weird place where we do allow people to stop engaging in learning it because they aren't good at it innately. And it's something we wouldn't let reading teachers get away with.
What about writing? And where does talent fit in? Is there a difference between "gifted" and "talented?"
And why not just say, "your kid has a talent for math"? It sounds different in my head, meaning-wise.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
perhaps I do tend to forget the big picture wrt to mac. it's good for me to keep the perspective.
I hope I didn't sound like I was reproaching you.
Can you bring Mac to LA? It's a crime that I've never hugged him.

Is there a difference between "gifted" and "talented?"
enough I guess to warrant both being used in the same sentence for G&T programs when I was growing up? Talented being that motley group who are not quite gifted?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
oh, it didn't sound like reproach - it made me laugh.
I am hoping an LA trip this year if finances work out.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
It is FREEZING in my office. I'm tempted to go nab the heater from my coworker's, who is in the hospital right now, office. I feel a bit like a vulture though.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Talented being that motley group who are not quite gifted?
That doesn't sound right. Talented is a different sort of exceptional than gifted, not a different degree.

The whole "being good" (or not) at something has always bugged. You hear it all the time as a language teacher.
Which I guess makes sense because language can be very mathematical and some people just aren't good at math. @@@

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
A friend just sent me this link which I definitely dug: HEMA is a Dutch department store. The first store opened on November 4, 1926, in Amsterdam. Take a look at HEMA's product page. You can't order anything and it's in Dutch, but just wait a couple of seconds and watch what happens. [link]
