@matigo yeah, we were looking at a practice test my daughter was given. I was a Math/Computer Science major in college, and this shit didn't make any sense to me.
@matigo They've made the math so complicated now, the teachers can't even teach it. Yes, my wife has had this exact conversation with my daughter's math teacher.

After a couple of nights of somehow managing to sleep/wake at semi-normal times, I now have my 3am wake up. Thank you, jet lag. ?
@kdfrawg We did fresh (as in we cut them down) Christmas Trees for years. Recently we stopped and went with fake ones but with the garage cleanup needed for another car, our bigger fake tree had no place to live anymore. Today, we bought one off a lot run by some folks we know. That's in addition to a smaller, fake tree.

@kdfrawg My wife and I haven't been impressed with LED Christmas lights so far. I'm sure they'll get better.
