ladyskydiver 0 #1 September 10, 2006 **Brain break alert** I've been working on my homework for Organic Chemistry and realized that I was disappointed there were only 75 problems that I had to work on. I was having so much fun drawing Lewis structures and assigning charges and electrons. I need help! So...how's everyone else's day going?Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly!

LisaM 0 #2 September 10, 2006 I am learning how to "cast out nines" which is what they are teaching my son for how to check his math problems. It's not a sure thing so I don't see the point. If you want them to check it, have them do the problem in reverse! Sorry you asked? ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remeber the trauma we (as in my class mates) went through when OZ changed from imperial to metric, our entire primacy of learning was based on the imperial system, then just as we are getting our heads around it, the governement says let change it to comply with Europe It's easy now for me to owrk in both, and switch bewteen the two so I'm glad i learned under both systemsYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!

Plus, I am in process of planning a "spoil myself" weekend (aka spa weekend )....of course, it'll be in a few months and to celebrate a bunch of December birthday's but hey...it's worth looking forward to.
