All the tests on Nova came back normal, so the teeth cleaning is back on. We'll see how things go from there.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am not talking about its incidence. I'm saying it's RIGHT.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

How about if I think he's sleazy? Does that make me racist?

I need to know more statistics for my job. I am so math deficient. I am actually wondering if I should take some kind of community college stats class. Even though I know it will make me cry.
In conclusion, MY DOG IS SUPER CUTE!!!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
lisah,
I tell this to my students: when I was in undergrad years ago, I took statistics in math, psychology, and sociology. As you can imagine, each class taught stats differently. What was instructive about this is that I could learn stats: but that I might need the right textbook, or right way to explain a concept to me so it made sense.
I am fully confident that you can learn statistics. You probably need to have a textbook and instructor who can explain the concepts to you in such a way that it makes sense. Before you spend $$ on a class, look at the textbooks and see if it is one you like. There are also a lot of stats resources on the net that can help.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
lisah, you should totes call up my imaginary Internet bf Nate. He's good with stats and he has all kinds of time on his hands now that he doesn't have to blog every day.
