I agree wif you GJiannet!! We use maffs all of the time

I think what made the lightbulbs go on for me with Algebra was realizing that the NAME is just a SYMBOL. If we have some sticks....(geez, I use these a lot, too, don't I?)...llll....It does not matter if we call them four, or X or monkey poop....the quantity is still the same.

Probably having worked for a decade or more before I went to college helped too. Used LOTS of maffs!

Zello! Nice to meets you! Spelling and sense are optional, as you've been told, and I'm sure can see for yersllph! Hop on in! The Ho'tub is phine, and I'm sure sumbuddy can phind you a crutchtip!

Here . . . I'll put it into terms that you can relate to:

Say you desire a $6000 breast augmentation procedure. You can put away $25/month towards the procedure. How many months until you can't get yerselph some new boobs???

How bout this one for ya, Jess?

There are 50.7 ounces (1.5L) in a bottle of red wine (cause I know you buy the big bottles). You need 16 ounces of wine to make your famous tapioca/red wine pudding. How many batches of tapioca red wine pudding can you make before you need to go back to the liquor store?

See . . . you guys use it every day and just don't realize it.

Actually far more complex for me. Need to factor in number of glasses consumed in order to think tapioca red wine pudding is a good thing. This, I think, will vary, depending on level of sugar craving, and amount of chocolate available.

Good morning! Just made it in time to be able to say that.

Sunny and cold here in Toronto today.

Now this your Oracle wants to know:

Why does plow not rhyme with snow?

Yep, I was gonna say exactly this. . . . ....it is NEVAH that simple.. ..there are always variables. I always seem to need a helluva lot more wine on hand than is called for in a recipe.....curious.

Now this your Oracle wants to know:

Why does plow not rhyme with snow?

Gah, these crazy little idiosyncracies of English pronunciation drive me insane.

I get SO tired of apologizing to students for the English language. . . ..

[tom]

A little late w/ this but, with apologies to anyone packing a compass needle, I'm compelled to try to straighten this out. Can't have me sillies going through the rest of their silly lives w/ such a misconception.

Now, I may need some clarification and/or education on this, but when caught up in a pair of pants/shorts, isn't penile configuration/delineation always north? NW or NE, or perhaps Due North, but always northerly?

. .. . .. no

Yep.......my DH is a runner, as well, and he has told me (when I called him at work this aft with my query) that it is ALWAYS northerly, whether wearing spandex, flannel dress pants or Levi's... . .....

. . ...

So, I appear to have me answer.

But is it unanimous?

Omg NO

Maybe a higher % when in spa. . .. spa ... (I think we prefer the term "compression shorts" to spandex) sport/compression shorts, & bike racing may be a special case where a sling provides competitive advantage . .. ..but, in general, .. .omg NO!

Apparently, boxers are 'south' (duh) and anything that 'gathers and binds' winds up 'north'. Makes sense......

.. . .maybe appears to make sense .. .. .which way are those sculptured pouches P

[flourgirl]

Hi Ptaawwm! Good of you to "straighten this all out"! Don't want to leave these people "hangin'"

[elye]

We've been waiting fer your weigh-in on this, Ptaoughmghmnus! (hope you are feeling okay).......

Those of us without the device can only construct scenarios based on assumption, and how they normally look when we see them

Yep, 'tis true.. . . ..But I remain bumfoozled by what DH has ascertained regarding this entire North-South discussion, as it seems to contradict what Ptaoughmn is "OMG - - NO!-ing". . . ..DH claims that when positioned in anything fitted, ie., pants, jeans, shorts, etc., things remain northerly, always. In fact, the mere suggestion of it ever being due south in a pair of Levi's just made him stop and stare at me. "No way. Doesn't happen". . . ...

I can see I'll have to bring this up with him again. . ...more head-shaking silence, and a quick moving away, mefinks. . . . ....

I could ask the male diplomats that I teach tomorrow.....a kind of impromptu poll, so to speak, making sure to organize it as a justified vocabulary exercise. .. . ...

[Crystal Brown]

Uh-Oh . . . . . . Well, I guess it's a good sign that you decided to post anyway . . .

This is my bad habit . . . <---my little set of three periods . . . I use to "pause" and then continue . . .

By the way Zella, you tell everyone in your sig that you have a warning?? . . . Nobody can see that you have a warning except for you and the moderators so no need to apologiz in yer sig. Howeveh, if you're proud of yer warning that's a different story. You should announce it and then add something like (with attitude) . . . "Yeah, I'm bad. So What!!! <then this next part wif a Dirty Harry accent> Go Ahead, Make My Day!!"

Oooooops . . . and forgot to say . . . Welcome to Sillville, where spelling is opshunal.

LOL!!!! I swear!! Don't I just keep digging myself in quite the spacious and roomy hole I did receive a message from one of the mods about my Oops moment.. all I have to say is, by now I should know PM means I did something wrong - again.. I feel like I should wear a leather jacket, slap on some black leggings and call myself a Pink Lady.

I think the three dots rock! < --- I almost typed pink dots.. those rock too, but not what I meant to type.. or say... yesh, I just woke up.

I'm gonna go back in my corner now, wear my dunce cap and reflect my actions

"I'm baaaad to the bone.. ba a a baaaad..."

[DingoGirl]

You guys are silly

I enjoyed reading your posts.. all of 'em

ZELLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG - do we have a new Psilly??? Lurve yer post and......did you really read all of 'em?

dear gawd

This is my bad habit . . . <---my little set of three periods . . . I use to "pause" and then continue . . .

.....is.......that........a.............bad..............habit?

GAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

but - that is simple - that ain't no sort of algebraic formulations and crap

Zella, we will need a picture of this - the Pink Lady getup

Hi Soozle--lurrved yer post Oscar fashion report

Welcome to the madness, Zella So just how much of the sillie archives did you get through? You may never be the same!

I hope all the maths talk is over fer now.....is it safe to come out? Me pea brain and all.....got so much going on now that any complicated figurin' might just make me 'ead explode

[Darn210]

I hope all the maths talk is over fer now.....is it safe to come out? Me pea brain and all.....got so much going on now that any complicated figurin' might just make me 'ead explode

Let's assign variables, shall we . . .

X = the current amount of pressure in PatTee's 'ead

Y = the pressure at which PatTee's 'ead explodes

Z = the rate at which pressure increases when mathS is discussed

How long till PatTee loses her 'head?

See . . . algebra is used EVERYWHERE!!!

[jerseyangel]

How long till PatTee loses her 'head?

Jan-it You're such a maths wiz!

Jeeze, wif all the variables 'n stuff, it probably won't be much longer I'm gonna blow!!!!

I said "wiz"

[Jestgar]

Jan-it You're such a maths wiz!

:o Janet wizzes!!

[jerseyangel]

:o Janet wizzes!!

I'll bet she can wiz and do maths at the same time!

Welll..... I know when I started it was about 2 AM... when I realized there was a double arrow to move me along.. it was 3 AM... after I read a few pages of the "new" stuff and finally responded, it was 5 AM

Yesh, I am that strange!

Oooo-weeee, looks like I need to scrounge me up a pink lady outfit I used to have one... when I was 5... wonder if that still fits???

You sillies are so fabulous.. or shall I say psillies.. Is a psillie from Philly, or did they just drink too much of the happy juice? By the by, happy juice can consist of anything that makes a person happy! Or sillie/psillie.. shillie..

Did someone say breast augmentation? My cousin had one of them.. About two years later she was diagnosed with Familial Polyposis and lost a bunch of weight.. Wellllll, my Mom, the tactful bird that she is, asked my cousin: "So, did your boobies lose weight too? Or are they still up and doing their thing??" After all the laughter and cantaloupe jokes subsided, we did find out that they fared very well and hadn't lost a pound. Moral of the story - there isn't one. Just that if your weight fluctuates, your tiggo-bities should stay the same size post augmentation. <-- Uh oh, I hope that wasn't too crude of a story... I'll be waiting in my inbox for a PM..

Nice meetin' ya'll.. I wonder why I have a Southern drawl, when I was born in California? Hmmm...

[tom]

Hey woohoo things got pretty mathtastic yesterday!!

(I think both of those banks suck btw)

Hi Zella & Welcome!

(Yay for another in the Bay Area tho Solano's almost opposite from the South Bay)

[tom]

I'll bet she can wiz and do maths at the same time!

Ahhhh Fluid Dynamics . .. . I remember that as a course that sent some would-be engineers back to the catalogue to choose some Bachelor of Arts major

[Jestgar]

I'll bet she can wiz and do maths at the same time!

Heck, the boys can wiz and write at the same time. A girl's gotta have some skill...

[Darn210]

Oh Gawd . . . did I not tell you . . . I specialized in Fluid Dynamics . . . man that was a looooonnnnnng time ago. I told you I had a cat named Navier-Stokes, right? Gawd, I'm boring meselph . . . won't talk anymore about it.

Zella, too crude??? Absolutely not . . . but this is a sure sign that you did not read the whole thread if you even asked the question.

Simultaneous mathing and wizzing . . . OK, somebody give me a problem and I'll head to the head.

[jerseyangel]

True dat! I can wiz and chew gum at the same time I gots skills

Oh Gawd . . . did I not tell you . . . I specialized in Fluid Dynamics . . .

This is good--should serve you well during a big post number phlipover

gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! STOP IT!!!!!!!!!

forgot to mention that I loved Ptaum's weighing in on the weenile direction subject :lol:

and - he said MATHTASTIC when really is was a true MATHOSITY

I said "wiz"

she did and the thought it woz phunnee

she really is just a gnatural-born psillie, isn't she?? :lol:

Oh! the boobs stay the same! this is great news.....I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO gittin' me some

[tom]

We've been waiting fer your weigh-in on this, Ptaoughmghmnus!

The gravitational reference makes me wonder just how snug y'all think non-boxers ARE!??

.. . as it seems to contradict what Ptaoughmn is "OMG - - NO!-ing". . . ..

The bolded NO was in response to the purported unanimity of the North Pole, Mrs. Claus. (Maybe Em has the gall to Gallup to the mall for a North Poll?)

It's possible I'm mistaken, but I believe a high majority can provide a literal answer to the query "how's it hangin' d00d?"

I read it.. but me saying it - TWO totally different things.. Remember, I'm the bad kid.. I may get reprimanded more than the lot of ya

It's like - who stole the cookies from the cookie jar? (they're gluten-free, of course!)

And you answer.....
