Thanks. I am SO glad to have this thing posted and not have to edit it anymore.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Yay! Hil is saving the rainforests of algebra! I...think.
I'm all excited. Even though I can't really understand it.
Yay for you, Hil!. You worked long and hard for that
woo! Is forest a math term that doesn't mean a bunch of trees?
We characterize those families for which our formula is cancellation-free.
I have no idea what this means, but it looks amazingly cool. And yay Hil! (With a kick in the pants to your no-good no-help adviser).
(With a kick in the pants to your no-good no-help adviser).This too!

Actually, tree is also a math term, and a forest means a bunch of those kinds of trees. And those trees also have roots and branches and leaves, because it's way easier to just use words that already exist than to invent new ones. (I know that one professor in my department will mock me for using the word "poset," because he says it's not a real word. It's not, but everybody uses it, because the alternative is "partially ordered set" and that's just a pain to type out a million times.)
I made DH look at it. He know enough to understand some of the stuff that can be done with the field of math that Hil is studying.
W00t, Hil!
So, the hazards of baking two pies at one time include having them drip all over the oven. I usually have an old pizza pan under any pie I bake, which has served nicely to catch drippings. But I think these pies dripped more than their fair share. Gak. Any want to come clean my oven? I'll give you a pie for your efforts.
Baking soda & vinegar, baby, baking soda & vinegar.
Also, mmm, pie!
