| I don't mean to bring this thread off on a tangent, but it would be really nice if we could stay away from personal attacks or insulting other people. Thanks. :| I agree. There's no reason that we can't have a discussion about this without everyone attacking each other. I personally think that Sean... |

| These are all interesting comments, thank you to everyone for their input. :) For now, I have decided to go with a major in mathematics and statistics. I've heard there are lots of government jobs out there for someone with a degree in statistics (statistician for one :wink: ), and I think that ther... |

I went with legible, barely. If I really try hard and go slow, my writing's not too bad, but otherwise it's just barely readable most of the time. I never did learn to hold a pen/pencil the correct way, so that doesn't help. My 4th math teacher told me I should make my numbers look like numbers.  |

| Hey stlf, I can relate to that. I've often wished I were a little lower functioning too. Sometimes I just feel stuck in the middle - I'm high functioning enough that people expect me to be "normal", but I'm not quite high functioing enough to always deliver on that. :( And Pugly, it's funny that you... |

I had also thought about teaching, but there is no frickin' way I could deal with high s... |

Long story short, I've had a few different jobs (most of them short-lived and/or miserable), and after a rough road, finally got myself back at university and things had gone fairly well this last school year. I thought I had my ultimate career goal all figure... |

| It doesn't have to be napster. There are plenty of free file sharing programs out there. WinMx is my favourite. Just a word of advice: be careful when installing a file sharing program. Many of them come bundled with spyware. Kazza is bad for that. WinMx is pretty good though, no spyware, and fairly... |

Happy Birthday Albert Einstein!
It's interesting to note that, coincidently, Albert Einstein was pretty good at math, and his birthday is on 3/14.
3.14 is the approximation of pi.  |

| I don't know, I don't really agree with the general consensus here. :? I can understand the teacher being a little annoyed, but since you weren't disturbing the rest of the class (I'm assuming) it really shouldn't have been that big of a deal. If she was really that annoyed with you, she could have ... |

| I knew someone who was kind of like that. Since you've already tried to tell her and she didn't stop, either she's being rude, or she just doesn't get it. If you don't care about seeming rude, then I guess you could tell her to shut up and leave you alone. Otherwise you'll just have to grin and bear... |

My lips are always wet, and sometimes the saliva dries all over my lips making a white sort of crust and it also dries a bit in the corners of my mouth making a a sort of white slime. It's not that bad most of the tim... |

| He has sent soldiers to kill innocent people and many of America's own soldiers have been killed as well. :( And all of this has solved nothing. Hey, has anyone else noticed that "Dubya" always seems to have a look on his face like a little boy who is lost in a store and can't find his mommy? :P |
