Still round the corner there may wait |
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
I shouldn't do this...
Sounds like a Weapon of Math Instruction to me!
And on that note, it's back to work.
LOL! Yep!
It's pretty cool, IMO.
As if you wouldn'ta if you'd been here in time!
A slide rule, I can use.... we used a round slide rule-type calculator in pilot training to figure ETAs, fuel consumption... any multiplication task.
This... on the other hand....
I got a ninety dollar calculator Jr. still ain't usin'...
Although to his credit, before he left early today he took the initiative to go by and get his Algebra assignments.
Bad dwarf!
Can I have your recipe? I love oats and chocolate!
$90 calculator? Sheesh.
And don't let him tell you he needs a graphing calculator. I took 21 credits of college math and never used one.
Yeah, we bought it last year, when he flunked the first term. He didn't need it in class then and doesn't now.
Sometimes I wonder if teachers get kickbacks from the calculator companies. That would explain why kids can't add...
Yeah. And of course we bought it because we wanted to give him every advantage...sigh...
Gotta go. See y'all at the debate.
Well, I found the protracter...it costs 35 cents at the drug store. Figured I'd get some Little Debbies and the protracter and buy with my debit card...they didn't have any Little Debbies. Joshua had his heart set on Little Debbies. So I dug around in the car looking for 35 cents because there was no way I was gonna pay for a protracter with my debit card.
Joshua found a dime and 2 pennies in his car seat. That was it.
Sigh. So I'm home. No protracter, no Little Debbies.
I swear, I'm gettin' some change and going and getting that protracter if it does me in! And some Little Debbies too, by gum.
Halfacupa Crap
Get a little plastic cup (I use an old plastic yogurt cup) and put a big spoonful of peanut butter in it, put a spoonful of cocoa powder in it, also put some fake honey in (or real, I guess...I use the maltilol honey with zero carbs). I also put a bit of splenda in. Melt it in the microwave till it's runny...I take it out and stir it pretty frequently. After it gets smooth and mixed together, add some oats. I use "Old Fashioned" not the quick kind. Just add as much as you think the mixture will coat.
I think nuts would be good in it too...almonds or pecans...
It's like a soft clump of fudge.
Ok. I'm logging off too till the debate. I won't watch 'em, so I'll be here in the Hole, at the laptop in Matthew's room.
Sigh... I have got to stop going through anime so fast. Finished off Trigun last night. Not entirely sure what I thought of it - but I think I am going to cosplay Milly. Nice easy costume, I even look a little like her, and I felt a strange affinity to her character.
So, what now I wonder? Coworker doesn't have Cowboy Bebop and I'm just too broke to buy anime right now... I'm just lucky he had inherited the Trigun disks from our predecesor, who apparently burned them before it got licensed. No guilt!
