i always STRUGGLED in school with math -- failed algebra one, barely passed it the second time around. had a WONDERFUL teacher for geometry who tried many different methods to teach me, and spent many hours during lunch working wtih me to no avail. i think the only reason she passed me was so that she didnt get stuck reteaching me the following year. poor soul ended up with me in her class -- AGAIN -- but ths time for algebra two.
THAT SAID.... when i was preparing to take the GRE, i was scared shitless. i was a communications major, after all, in college. didnt have the money for a prep course so i spent lots of time with the prep workbooks. the stuff really wasnt any more difficult than simple mathematics -- but it had been YEARS since i had done most of it. i found that the BEST way for me to prepare for the exam was just actually break out a pen(cil) and paper when i needed to do some. NOT use the calc function on my phone.
this simple method just made me THINK about what i was doing and how to do it. i still swear by it and why i got a decent score (for me) on the GRE.
well if i thought i had a mechanical bone in my body (NO RUDE COMMENTS HERE!) i would consider it, as i really am interested. but theres a reason my degree was communications (not telecomm, just good ole publication editing, PR, advertising, broadcast, etc.) and that i can barely add and subtract (ok, ok, ok, and i can barely type either). my mind just doesnt think like that.
this is one of the few times ive wished i was more mechanically inclined, as a chica. i am SO in love with that show, and other than reception, it would be one of the few reasons i would get cable. i am often incredulous at what they come up with. not to mention, they seem like they have so much fun --- winning or losing. maybe i can pick up a "dummies guide to 'engineering, fabrication and a good mechanical 'know how'". ah well. whats a girl to do??
answer: what.commers live in when they pull their stocks before the company goes under --- after all.... who wants to live in a trailer park.... when you can live in THIS kinda mobile home?!?!:)

...but 'thingie' is supposed to be spelled 'thingy'. Damn stupid slashdot readers don't even know proper spellnigs...
cuz you KNOW that "thingy/ie" is SUCH a scientific word! (and please tell me that "spellNIGS" was purposeful.....)
im still wondering if those who standardized battery sizes was the sibling of who standardized bra sizes.....
aaa=tiny bra, tiny battery;
aa=pretty damn small bra, pretty damn small battery;
c=bigger bra, bigger battery;
d=big enough bra for baywatch, big enough battery to power vibrator for baywatch castmembers;
etc, etc, etc.;
who is in cahoots with who?
i happened across this page today. the site host lists email addresses of those who spam him... so bots find spammers... and the spammers get spammed. nevermind the fact that the email address is prolly only used once before they move to another address. in the meantime... check out http://www.cardhouse.com/drcliff/wreck/shitlist.ht m
ouch. now ~i~ am the dumbass. the second use of "your" was inteneded to be "your," rather than "youre" (or, even more proper --- "you're") see what happens when we all start using dumb typing on the net? it screws us up the rest of the time.
well, i wasnt saying that this is something i would do, per se... just saying that i wouldnt be surprised if some people did it (after all, if they are that small, something tells me they aint getting a bj ---- and theyve gotta have something to make up for it, right? but youll have to tell me (since i dont have a penis) wouldnt that be a scratchy sex tool?
Score! now i can finally have a way to get rid of all my aol disk-turned-coaster-turned-frisbees-turned-blowjob holes-turned-solar eclipes viewer...etc...
