Maybe as a hint that for the 'average' shopper, it IS impossible? I think they need a disclaimer 'Do not try this at home'.

Pool temp was up to 58 last night. I thought it was supposed to be almost hot today and planned to get in to give the floor that good vacuum and scrub that it needs. I can vac the crap out from outside the pool. I can even sort of scrub the bottom from outside. But to get that final perfectly clean, spotless makes the water really sparkly shine, I just need to get in once. It's gloomy and windy. Goody.

and i would get your agent involved. he/she most likely gets a commission so let them work for it. you have to have car insurance. you don't have to have that insurance company or that agent..
I agree. Let them know you want to try to resolve it at that level - before filing a complaint with the insurance commission for your state....

Quote from love2beeamom :
But, in the disappointed side, I found out he didn't pass all his classes this semester. Sadwalk he failed college algebra. This was his second attempt. He withdrew first semester. And every major he is interested in requires atleast algebra plus 2 additional higher maths. I don't know what he is going to do Frown
College algebra can be tough...
I know lots of students that are in the honor society who dropped algebra a few times before they were able to pass with a good grade. The instructor can make a world of difference. Your son might want to check out Ratemyprofessor.com HERE [ratemyprofessors.com] It isn't a totally accurate site - but from what I have seen - if the instructor has LOTS of negative comments - AVOID them.

I guess I just don't believe that there is a mathematically un-inclined person. In my experience and opinion, that's just junk fed to kids when they are young - every child learns differently and if they're not taught in their learning style, they lose interest and some adults around them gather that they're not inclined. it feeds upon it self. I've seen this in adults, too - been told all their lives they're not good at math, and then they find a good teacher and someone who believes in them and they ace the class.

our brains can learn anything, if someone is willing to teach us..
Math is not one of my strong points.
I spent lots of hours on my statistics classes.
I like the communication classes - where you just write papers stating what you think. But you can't BS on a math test...lol

Now - if you put a $$$$ sign in front of a number. I can turn it inside out, upside down, and backwards. The $ sign gives the number MEANING....

But I still don't think x or y are numbers...

I like THIS [google.com]

Quote from ank220 :
If you are buying coupons for possible overage, how do you consider your purchase price point? Is there a % or $$ amount you tend to look for?

I think the deal is over for the suave that I was looking at - I forget food lion's ads run funny. Anyway, *if* I had done it, the math looks like this:

coupon price w/shipping = .40 each

$39.33 suave price at store w/tax
-36.00 coupons
3.33 tax
4.80 coupon cost for 12 q's
8.13 "cost" on the deal
-10.00 store promotion
1.87 "net" overage - or .15 (almost .16) per coupon.

That just doesn't seem like much or worth it at that point. Am I crazy?
I figure it out the same way you do. I take into consideration what the coupon costs, what the product cost, what are the extra taxes involved in buying the product I would't have bought, etc...

I read people saying they got $400 in product for only $10.....

Uhmmm.. No... they didn't count the cost of the coupons - and the fact that $300 worth of the product was something they didn't even want - but had to buy to get the overage.

So - I factor that part out...

I generally calculate it and count ONLY the overage AFTER all costs - to see if the overage is worth it.

Something else to take into consideration is RISK - how likely will you be to get to use ALL the coupons? I don't like to pay Big $$$ for coupons that give good overage IF you can find the item in stock. But you can also take into consideration how many coupons it will take to break even.

I think the first coupons I ever bought were for the Bayer Meters. I paid something like $30 for them - BUT - since they were giving $10 RRs (and the meters were FREE with the coupon) I figured as long as I found 3 meters - I broke even for what I paid for the coupons. Anything over three would be profit... so I took the risk (and it paid off). I know there were people who at that time would not pay that much for those qs.... But I decided - even with the high cost - I could still break even AND make a profit. Without the coupons... I would break even but make NO profit.

Quote from ank220 :
Sounds weird, but I know folks who swear by peeing in a container and then sprinkling it around the perimeter of the garden.
.
Just wait until after dark - and then you can bypass the container and just pee directly on the perimeter.

bulb Maybe Bunnies can hire GG to come pee around her garden. Then Bunnies would have her garden protected - and GG would have $$$ to pay her bills.
WIN-WIN!!!!

We are going to do the $1 movies. Probably at the theater right by the apt. The library programs are great. We try to get down to the downtown library a few times during the summer because the ones down there are fantastic.

Quote from bunnies46 :
Thank you! For the soil...I thought you were suppose to add more soil as they grow?

Let me take a few more pics (close ups) and if you can tell me how far up to put the soil that would be great!
Quote from bunnies46 :
My babies need soil...
i think i never answered this. almost all plants you cannot add soil on top as they grow b/c you will rot the stem or trunk, cause the root graft on rosebushes and fruit trees to grow, etc.

tomatoes are an exception b/c they will grow roots anywhere the stem touches the soil. so i would top up the tomato plants to an inch under the rim of the pot and give it a good watering.

the pepper plant i would lift out the whole entire thing, soil and all and put more soil underneath until the level of the original soil is about 1 inch under the rim of the pot and give it a good watering.

when you water, make sure you water until water comes out the bottom hole.

to see when the next time to water is, stick your finger into the soil about 1 inch. if it is dry, it is time to water. in the dead of summer, you may have to water 2x/day. at the same time, do not overwater b/c your tomatoes will crack. better to underwater tomatoes than to overwater cuz they are susceptible to lots of diseases if there is too much water.

OAN, ank, i third or fourth or eight or whatever it is, the advice to call insurance agent and keep finagling. they fought us on paying out rental etc also but then with multiple calls and negotiation, it worked! so try and try again! persistence pays off, cos they're just counting on you going away.

i, too, had morning statistics and HATED it. had to take 3 semesters of stats. vomit
but i think i hated it more because i was *required* to take it. honors calculus was at 8 am, with a thickly accented professor who mostly whispered to the blackboard and a bunch of jocks trying to major in engineering who worked through their hangover and went huh? at the professor's mumblings. but i loved that class! and aced it. probably because i didn't need it for anything. i took it as my liberal arts math elective and so it was all mine.
what can i say? i don't like following orders. and i don't like compulsion. laugh out loud
