1. I am the most random person I know

2. I wouldn't even date myself

3. If someone said they would give me any amount of money to pay for one thing I don't have but do want I would get decent health insurance with dental, something I desperately need right now

YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH


Don't tell me your age; you'd probably lie anyway-but the Hershey Man will know!

YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH

This is pretty neat.

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
It takes less than a minute .
Work this out as you read .
Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!
This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.


1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but less than 10)


2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)

3. Add 5

4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator


5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1759 ..
If you haven't, add 1758.

6.. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.



You should have a three digit number




The first digit of this was your original number
(i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).




The next two numbers are



YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)


THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2009) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.
Chocolate
Calculator.

I wonder if there are other things like this for me to share with this community of bloggers, perhaps more current.

i just realized i forgot my quotes

I meant to post some quotes but I got carried away with my story.  Here are some quotes for the day.


Education is a better safeguard of liberty than a standing army.
Edward Everett

Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance.
Will Durant

Education is all a matter of building bridges.
Ralph Ellison

Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
Oscar Wilde

Education is learning what you didn't even know you didn't know.
Daniel J. Boorstin

Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.
John Dewey

Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.
William Butler Yeats

Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another.
Gilbert K. Chesterton

Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.
Robert Frost

some more quotes

I don't know if I'm getting the hang of this blogging thing yet.  The police waking you up at 2am will do that to you, I suppose.  I understand someone wanting to report a stolen laptop, I truly do, but I lose sympathy when you realize that you're being woken up at 2am to hear about it because she's just gotten in from partying to realize it's gone.  I'm sure that the laptop was stolen at a decent hour.

tips for teaching

Working at muse has taught me that people, even college aged, don't listen.  I think maybe it's just laziness.  But in a lot of cases, grammar is just not being taught correctly.  It's sort of disturbing when you think about it, most of the staff writers who make such glaring grammatical errors have no idea that they're making them in the first place.  Not only does this reflect poorly on the education system, but it sure makes my life difficult when time that could be spent designing pages and fitting text in has to be spent correcting it.
