Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Congrats, Consuela!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay Consuela!!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Consuela, that's fantastic! Congrats!
Burrell, I have no advice on the math tracking, but if F being in the "normal" track at a gifted school is going to cause issues down the road for college (acceptance), then we collectively need to rethink what the hell we are doing to our children via the educational system. Challenging them is great; demoralizing them? NSM.
There were no honors courses in grade school for me (K-8). I tested into honors math, English, science, and history for high school. Math was the only subject that made me cry, and I dropped the honors designation for senior year, and was infinitely happier for it. YFMV (Your F May Vary.)
Hooray, shrift! Multiple surfaces to slounge upon. We need pictures of your swanky apartment.
Thai is always the better choice. I had ginger-basil chicken with coconut rice the other night.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Congrats, Consuela!!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Go Thai, choose Thai!
Huzzah, Suela! About damn time.
I love arithmetic and multiplication and division and fractions and all the fun little patterns you can make playing with 3's and 9's, but I am hopeless at higher math. Worse than hopeless - my geometry teacher used to tutor me every day at lunch for free, because he couldn't believe that someone so smart could be failing so hard, and every now and then I'd have a marvelous flash of getting it; some explanation would hit home, something would click, and it'd be like I'd suddenly stumbled across the switch to a brilliant floodlight in the dark dank tunnel I'd been crawling through and now I could see it was a perfect Aladdin's cave of sparkling jeweled logic. Then the light would snap out and I'd bark my shin on a treasure chest and smack my face into a rocky wall, and I could never find the same switch twice.
And yay shrift for having a couch and a bed! (Which for some reason I initially typed as "a couch and Abed".) You've got a spot to slounge on, a spot to sleep in, and you've been through an earthquake and a miserable two-day heat wave followed by a week of biting fog. All you need is a shot of Fernet in some disreputable-looking bar far away from the Marina and you will be a true San Franciscan.

Hooray Consuela!

Way to go, Consuela!
I read someone earnestly arguing that the people who registered for Ashley Madison using their work email addresses HAD TO use those addresses, because their spouses probably monitor their personal email. Okey dokey then.
Finally, I am frequently amazed how authors of huge long complicated articles with a ton of editorial changes have NO problem with the changes and are a delight to work with, while authors of 2-page editorials (i.e., no hard data, no tables, no figures) are the biggest pains in the ass EVER about their papers.
