When I was young I liked math and scored 99th percentile on the Florida Senior Placement Test. That was as high as one could score.

I recently bought a nice TI calculator and could not even figure out how to work it.

On the other hand my verbal skills do not seem to have gone down.

Keep working on the TI calculator. It is possible that your calculator resolution skills are inhibiting your math skills.

Let nothing get in the way of you and your potential.

Not to sound corny, but God made you special...a genius in your own way.

Your challenge is to discover your God-given genius and to exploit for His sake (and the world's and yours)

It's cool to know that I am in the audience of pure genius and one who freely admits it.........

I feel your pain. I was quite good at math, high scores on standardized tests, etc., but in my doddering old age I have trouble figuring out making change. Oh well....
