I failed calculus miserably in college, and only got my diploma by taking a summer course in how to teach 'new math' to kiddies. [This was in 1964, lol] Fast forward to Y2K...I went to the local Tech School to learn how to repair computers. Had to take a "real math" course, and got an A in College Algebra, with Matrix theory and all that stuff that hadn't even been invented in 1964, lol!!! Sometimes life experience really pays off in big ways. When I was working all those years, I didn't think I was learning math, but apparently I did. Hugs from the far side, ~ Sil in Corea

Yes! I LURVE the Post Secrets! The after-emphasis is especially silly today.
Double Yes!! My inch wormy mug arrived today. It is everything I dreamt of.
Ooooh... great visual pun. I'm very impressed! :)
I lost my full-ride college scholarship because of a pre-calculus class. Forgive my bitterness toward math!! :)
No, it's so easy. You just have to swipe the teachere edition with all the answers! I know. I'm brillant and so thought my math instructor!
Do you need calculus for pottery? Case closed.
NO, I do not need calculus for anything, although as I age my basic addition and multiplication etc. get fuzzy....
Math gives me a headache. A terrible, terrible headache!
