Grading exams...and they're not doing well.

What kind of exams?

 

[Takai]

What's in store:
Grandkids definition, total enjoyment with none of the disciplinary, correction baggage involved.
When your done having fun with (spoiling) them, send them back to mom and dad.
They will always LOVE going over to Gram and Cramp's house...................

That's how my Mom describes it.

Math.--differential equations.

You mean the same math I use when I try to figure out my monthly budget? Somehow I just end with "i" as the answer.

There were imaginary numbers on this exam! Complex, even!

 

[Takai]

Derivatives, imaginary numbers. I suppose you are going to through in a few integrals for good measure. Stop, I am starting to have flashbacks.

I was told doubling on math credits could lead to this later in life.

Treasure what you have every hour of every day, my friends. Never take it for granted and never allow yourself to forget how wonderful it is that you love someone that loves you back.

Thinking of you, my friend from across the pond.
Please don't ever leave MT as I consider you my "keyboard buddy"..........

Thank you for your kind words. I consider myself the most fortunate of individuals. And I cannot even fathom what it feels like to be in your position. I can empathize but, it seems like a disservice to your loss.

 

[Sukerkin]

Compassion is never a disservice, Takai, do not ever fear to express what is in your heart when it is meant as a kindness to someone. It is true that unless it happens to you you cannot really 'walk in another mans shoes' but that does not mean that the 'other man' does not appreciate your thoughts and emotions on his behalf.

It just proves how glorious real love is that it hurts so much when you lose it thirty years too soon.

So, if it doesn't sound hopelessly inappropriate (and a bit too much like a Huey Lewis song), hug your wives on your anniversaries in celebration of the special power love holds over us when we find it.
