Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

Punishingly Intricate

Is it counterintuitive to have worked out for an hour then eat sushi?

I always think of sushi as being relatively healthy. What's not healthy about it? (Aside from white rice)

I have a really dumb mathy question that I think I should know but don't. I'm calculating an annual rate of return problem and I think the equation should be this:

(x-72) + 2 = 15%

X being the price of the stock that must be hit in order to get a rate of return of 15%. It's currently at $72/a share and dividend payout is $2/share.

I don't know how to solve for X

I just started using a Neti squirt bottle, and it works wonders. It'll wake you up in the morning, that's for sure. Water! Water in new places!

“Not dead yet!”

(x-72) + 2 = 15%

My brain just seized.

Seriously, it just locked up.

Man, I suck at math.

Sushi is healthy because (aside from rice) it's lots and lots of good protein.

If you worked out for an hour and crave sushi - that's excellent.

Much better than working out for an hour and craving hot fudge sundaes.

Man, I suck at math.

Yeah, me too- though I am very proud of myself for being able to do the problem when I was calculating the % part!

HALP!

I think you're missing either a multiplier or a diviser in there somewhere.

Would it be "(72+2)+((72+2)*.15)=X" or something like that (I'm not quite sure where to work the +2 into it)?
