Oh, Alty, sorry, calculators not allowed in this contest :o

o.O really?

I wouldn't survive

Yes, no caculators, only pen, pencil, ruler. I always bring my compass and set square just in case, but hush! ;)

He is.

He has a gift.

Nah, since there are still problems that I can't solve :o

Ok, for example this one:


A, B, C are digits. The 3-digit number ACB is divisible by 3, BAC is divisible
By 4, BCA is divisible by 5, and CBA has an odd number of factors. Find ABC.

I didn't solve it and had to view the solution... :(

Erm,is the answer,3bA divided by 4CA... erm monkeys.

I'm crap at this unky.

I hang my head in shame,the nuns will be turning in their graves.

Is that English? ;)

ABC... DEFG... HIJK... LMNOP... QRS... TUV... WX.. YZ.

That's my answer. :)

Red, I don't think the nuns knew the answer to that.

Only God does. ;)

The poor nuns,they had their hands full with us.

Country girls can get up too a lot of mischief in a mixed school.

I hear that...

Umm dividing by 5 looks like the clue since only a multiple of 5 or 10 will work, so if BCA divides by 5 then it must end with a 5 or a 0. So A must be a 5 or a 0.

Am I on the right track?

Hey Bell, I'm bragging today, did you see my engagement ring?

Nah, since there are still problems that I can't solve :o

Ok, for example this one:



I didn't solve it and had to view the solution... :(

I'm um... sticking with Alty-mommy's answer

The ring is divine Emop.

I learned a lot in school,and it had nothing to do with maths.

Lots to do with strategy,for example,how to get dan o brian's attention away from the hound that was fiona tynan (names changes to protect the said hounds)

And,how high can I get away with rolling up my shirt before the nuns lose the plot.

And the classic, how do I get a sneaky smoke in before P.E,and how do I get to the disco on Friday!

Yes it is gorgeous Emop, very pretty.

Have you started looking at dresses? Why are you guys getting married so soon?

Drat Unky you got me hooked now but I'm stuck after the first bit.

Sorry, telephone rang again...

Yes, QP, A = 5 :)

Yes it is gorgeous Emop, very pretty.

Have you started looking at dresses? Why are you guys getting married so soon?

Thanks
Yes and I have it picked out,

It's in the summer so it isn't that soon. We've been together for 6 months if you don't count the few weeks we've broken up. It just feels right. And things in my family are pretty different from most families. My extended family is surprised I haven't been married off YET

The ring is divine Emop.

Thank you QLP

Well, let's see the dress!

well, let's see the dress!

And it's only 185!
It's the dress I've dreamed of since I was a little girl

Since I can't get married in pure white since I'm not a virgin, I decided you know what, it may be red but it's beautiful. And I've always dreamed of a blood red wedding dress

Next step, using the statement

A, B, C are digits. The 3-digit number ACB is divisible by 3, BAC is divisible
by 4, BCA is divisible by 5, and CBA has an odd number of factors. Find ABC.
[3 marks]

We know that A = 5, hence, there is 5C

where C is either 2 or 6.

Using the next statement 'The 3-digit number ACB is divisible by 3'

We know that A + B + C is divisible by 3. So,
if C = 2, B = 2, 5 or 8.
if C = 6, B = 1, 4 or 7.

Then, using 'CBA has an odd number of factors'
We have either of:
225, 255, 285, 615, 645, 675

From those, we try each of them until we get an odd number of factors.

Very pretty dress Emop.

That's waaay too many numbers, it makes my brain hurt just looking at it!

and it's only 185!

Since I can't get married in pure white since I'm not a virgin, I decided you know what, it may be red but it's beautiful. and I've always dreamed of a blood red wedding dress

Well, apart from the idea of the blood red coloration... it's beautiful!

Okay Bella, I'll stop :o

Thanks guys

And Please Unky! No more brain ouches

I said I'll stop :(

Aww it's okay Unky, we're just jealous because we aren't as smart as you!

Ok, I'm tired now, see you all!

Night Unky!

Wearing white on your wedding day doesn't signify virginity, it just signifies your first marriage.

A veil signifies virginity.

Just saying.

bloody hell heath!

perhaps you were over tired to start with or your coming down with something.

we would have missed you here and sent out a search party.

I'm not really sure, but it kind of sucks knowing I almost died last night.

Nah, since there are still problems that I can't solve :o

I didn't solve it and had to view the solution... :(

OK, so B can be pretty much any digit. C must be an even number. A must be either 5 or 0.

since a 3-digit number cannot start with 0, none of the digits can be 0, which mean A must be 5.

5CB must be divisible by 3, while B5C must be divisible by 4. since C must be even, that leaves us with 2, 4, 6, or 8. B can be any digit but 0 at this point.

let's try A=5 B=1 C=6.
561/3=187
156/4=39
165/5=33
the only way for a number to have an odd number of factors is if it has a whole number as the square root. The square root of 516 is 22.71, so it's not our answer.

OK, so, let's try A=5 B=4 C=6
564/3=188
456/4=114
465/5=93
the square root of 546 is 23.36, so it's not our answer, either.

A=5 B=5 C=8
585/3=195
558/4=139.5 which eliminates that as a possibility

A=5 B=8 C=8
588/3=196
858/4=214.5 which eliminates that, too

OK, I'm at a loss.

Next step, using the statement

A, B, C are digits. The 3-digit number ACB is divisible by 3, BAC is divisible
by 4, BCA is divisible by 5, and CBA has an odd number of factors. Find ABC.
[3 marks]

We know that A = 5, hence, there is 5C

where C is either 2 or 6.

We have either of:
225, 255, 285, 615, 645, 675

From those, we try each of them until we get an odd number of factors.

Doh I missed the obvious that a 3 digit number cannot begin with A being 0 so A is 5. Does having the flu count as a good excuse for being dim lol?

225 it a perfect square - odd number of factors. So A = 5, B= 2, C=2.

here is my ring and the place he's proposing


Gorgeous ring! :)

I'm not really sure, but it kinda sucks knowing i almost died last night.


Are you feeling even better from earlier today?

I have rivers of sweat running of me, this flu is making me a right old minger. ><.

Hope you are able to get some rest QLP and feel better soon. Anything like Lemsip or tea helpful?

Hey Hheath, hope you are feeling better. But you know, heat stroke is just another excuse to strip nakkie and spray yourself down with water... juts sayin'...

Hey Hheath, hope you are feeling better. But you know, heat stroke is just another excuse to strip nakkie and spray your self down with water... juts sayin'...

I feel a case of heat stroke coming on. :p

My neighbors are about to get an eye full, I'm stripping down and jumping through the sprinklers.

Boo you! :)

Just make sure to clean up any un wanted dog poop, other wise you may have an un requited, muddy, slip and slide... lol

Just make sure to clean up any un wanted dog poop, other wise you may have an un requited, muddy, slip and slide... lol

:eek:

I'm not doing this in the backyard, I'm doing it in the patch of grass that I call my front yard.

I'm going to swing from my lilac tree, and then jump through the sprinkler while yelling like Zena the warrior princess.

Yes, I will be needing bail money a bit later. :)

I've got a buck fifty I can add to the International Bail Out Alty (again) Fund

I've got a buck fifty I can add to the International Bail Out Alty (again) Fund

Again? :eek:

That first time was a case of mistaken identity! I was completely innocent! :rolleyes:

$1.50 US? That might do it. ;)

Hahah, make sure you don't mess up the elephant grave yard Alty. I've probably got a toonie I could throw in :D

5 brownie points to anyone who knows what a toonie is. Excluding Alty!

~~~taking myself out of the running as I looked it up... :)

Do I get any points for honesty??

Well I'm guessing it's some kind of Canadian thing. A teenage mountie? Not sure how one of those would help though.

Hope you are able to get some rest QLP and feel better soon. Anything like Lemsip or tea helpful?

Had a dose of everything going and a soak in a hot bath but it's not having any so I guess I'll just have to wait this one out. Been asleep nearly all day and a bit delirious on and off so guess it's just one of those nasties.

~~~taking myself out of the running as I looked it up....:)

You can have a brownie. :D

Yup it is Canadian, but not a Mountie... lol you know they are called police out here too right! :p :p :D

I always take the Buckley's cold and flu. 2 at night and 2 in the am. Start feeling better with in 24 hours.

Oh come on. It's not fair. I know what a toonie is.

A greenie for anyone that knows what a loonie is. :)

We Canada residents (can't call myself a Canadian) are a bit strange.

I always take the Buckley's cold and flu. 2 at night and 2 in the am. Start feeling better with in 24 hours.

I just drink whiskey. That works too. :)

Oh yea, a hot toddy will cure what ails you!

We Canada residents (can't call myself a Canadian) are a bit strange.

Agrees

Erm well in Enlgand loonie is a derogatory term for someone insane or idiotic but I'm guessing it's not that.

Errrr loonies and toonies. Just makes me think of Luney tunes cartoons.

Right I'm going to fix me that hot toddy and go back to bed to do some more sweating. Night night.

Oh yea, a hot toddy will cure what ails ya!

A tall hottie might too... :D

Okay, I'm telling.

A loonie is a one dollar coin.

And, because we're not at all original or imaginative, a toonie is... come on, guess! I've pretty much told you.

A greenie for the first person that guesses. :)

LOL! You got that right D! Lol

Agrees

LMAO!

You agree that Canadians are strange?

Thank Dog that I'm not Canadian. :D

Hey, I resemble that remark. Alty, you're a German Canadian, just like the rest of us! ;P

Hey, I resemble that remark. Alty, you're a German Canadian, just like the rest of us! ;P

Actually, I'm a German German. The darn Canadians want me to take a test and pay money to become Canadian, even though I've lived here since I was 3 years old.

Sigh.

I'd even learn to say "eh" if they would just clear some of the red tape. ;)

I'm a Canadian at heart, I guess that counts, but it sure would be nice not to have to offer up my first born just to get a freaking passport.

Hubby is doing the same thing in the US. He would be willing to acknowledge hurricane season, mosquito season, rainy season, allergy season, flu season, etc. to clear some of the red tape here... :)

Off for ice cream... night all... :)

Night again D!

I guess my mom was lucky, her parents came over during the war. I guess that was like a free pass. I don't ever recall her saying anything about her parents or her siblings having to get passports or citizenship stuff.

Hi everyone!

Hi everyone!

Many just left.

Many just left.

*sigh*
So I see. Hey Califdad, did you hear the news?

I'm getting married in the summer

Congratulations.

Just don't turn bridezilla on us OK ?

Congratulations.

Just dont turn bridezilla on us ok ?

Haha I won't. On page 99 or 100 is my engagement ring and page 103 is my dress.

I'm extremely excited, and all I care about is the commitment it means, I don't care how the wedding turns out. Haha

So, I won't be bridezilla

Hey peeps. What'd I miss?

Are you feeling even better from earlier today??

Much. I've been babying myself today. Eating and drinking more than usual and I even took a nap. Still a slight headache, and I think a bit of a fever, but I'm good.

I have discovered a delicious food!

What's the food? I'm hungry. I could go for some food.

What's the food? I'm hungry. I could go for some food.

Cubes of chicken over fries with mozarella cheese covered in buffalo sauce

MmMmm sounds good actually. Have you ever tried hamburger on the fries? With gravy and cheese... Mmmmm poutine...

Okay I'm confused. I read the sticky on the body art thing, and it's wrong! Saline solution does work. I've used it on most of my piercings and all the piercers I've seen recommended it. ALSO the sticky recommended antibacterial soap IN the piercings! That can cause an infection! And it kills even the good bacteria that help healing!

Does sound kind of dated...

Close enough. 'cept there wasn't enough money for construction season, this year.

I'm confused. I mean my piercer is also a dermatologist. She REALLY knows her stuff...

But that sticky...

So propose a new one.

So propose a new one.

I'm no expert, maybe it's me that's wrong

You don't have to be an expert to write a sticky. I wrote a sticky and I wasn't an expert.
Just do your research, and have proof to back up your facts. :)

Hi. No work tonight. I called in uh sick. I am sick though... I've been a bad girl... I started taking Ephedrine (ephedra?) pills and well now I feel just eesh.

Why would you take those? Aren't they like banned in Canada?

Why would you take those? Aren't they like banned in Canada?

GNC sells them :(

Why because I was being a stupid face and wanted to lose an extra 10 lbs fast... I knew it was wrong from the start yet I still did it. Bah!

Ohh... bad stuff my dear.

Boo!

so, I wont be bridezilla

Very nice on the ring and dress. Again congratulations.

Hi. Sorry I just up and left last night, I thought I could handle the computer but my head wouldn't let it happen. I feel MUCH better today. I'm never going to take those pills again. I learned my lesson. Promise :D

Glad your feeling better muddy,there's not a pick of fat on you,I don't know where you were hoping to lose 10lbs from.

You need to keep your organs somewhere,and although a nice gucci bag would suffice,a healthy body is so much more convient for travel,living, all that stuff.

Thanks red. I was just being a weirdo.

Hehehe I'm actually not a label kind of gal. I still shop at walmart and carry my ID's and money in my pocket. Ahh something is wrong with me... I haven't had a purse since well highschool--- ha!

How's your day goin' red? Haven't spoken to you in a while.

Going good,bit of a sore back today,forgot I was 38 not 18 last night!

I'm on holidays from work for a few weeks,getting the house painted,all well nothing out of the ordinary.

Are you enjoying the bar work?

I bet the craic is fantastic!

i bet the craic is fantastic!

I enjoy some times. It really depends what bar my boss asks me work at. Personally I enjoy the older bar, people are less annoying there. The younger bar is very very annoying, the girls get too drunk and make a mess and there is always someone crying, fighting and asking stupid questions like "omgsh can I stand on the bar?"... NO. Hahaha. It's funny to be the one watching. I seen this girl come in, her dress barely covered her butt. She got mad when a guy was staring at her and said something to her. Haha what does she expect. The whole night she was a big cock tease and well needless to say the "cock of the henhouse" seemed to like her and she didn't like his "attitude" towards her and he called her a slut and well it was a fun crying time for her.

So far your holidays sound like fun.. haha. I can't paint, I don't know why. I try but whenever I paint a room it just looks very messy, uneven and just ahh you may as well have hired a painter. :p

The bar sounds like fun,I think!

Brendan is painting,I'm supervising.

From the way he is talking I'm afraid he's going to want to take down a wall!

He's a bit of a DIY-er, grand in his own house,head wreaking in mine,however his heart is in the right place and he'll do a good job.

Nice! Make sure you make him some lemonade and a nice sandwich ;)

... That's my thing. I haven't made a guy a sandwich in a while. Any takers? Nah.. I'll make myself a sandwich for a change...

So no hitting your rader lately?

I'm sure there's some cracking guys that come into the bar,no one taking your fancy?

Bye bye green boxes... you'll miss me...

so no hitting your rader lately?

im sure theres some cracking guys that come into the bar,no one taking your fancy?

Lol red because the best place to meet a good stable guy is at a bar;)

Unky, what do you mean "bye-bye green boxes"?

Check the 'Forum Help' sticky made by RickJ today.

Following the introduction of the ffStyle, there will be minor changes with the skin. Namely, titles such as junior member, senior member, etc will be removed, and green boxes representing greenies will be replaced by actual numbers.

Ahh thank you good friend!

Good morning you beautiful AMHDers!!

Good morning KC

*blinks eyes*

:p

Lol

Sup Unky? So many new changes coming to AMHD. I was always a fan of the green boxes...

Only two of them, don't worry too much.

If however, you looked at the completely new skin! By the way, did you get the bad luck of having a look at it?

Well, honestly, I don't find it that bad, but there are still many things that don't work well yet. That said, I prefer the v2 skin. Until... perhaps the options in the ffStyle will be better.

As part of the AMHD Witness Protection Program my ID has changed from KeepItSimpleStupid to KISS. Going to find a corner and hide.

KISS a.k.a. KeepItSimpleStupid

How did you do that KISS? Who do you have to kill to get a username change?

I want Alty, or Altykins, Or Justlistentome! :)

Wow, first Scott gets to get the title 'Renaissance Man' and now KISS gets to be renamed KISS...

I like justlistentome! That needs to be your name.

Justlistentome! :)

Too many Justies! :eek:

Alty could be JARS!

Hmmm,maybe not.

Edit: just thought I better clarify that... jared,alty,R,and sydney.

She could be alternator.

Altymommy sounds too old. I am a mommy, but I don't want to be mommy to everyone on here. I'm only... gulp... 39. :eek:

hey Jlo,why so sad?

Something is wrong with Pete. I have a post in the dog's thread from when it first started this morning. He's at the vets for observation today, and the vet referred him for an MRI next week. His behavior is going downhill fast.

Okay, time to make you saddies smile.

Now smile! :)

Aww... Pete is in my prayers JLo. I hope everything will turn out good :)

Oh JLo, I'm so sorry. He's in good hands, just let the vet do his thing and don't panic until there's something to panic about. Okay?

I know it's easier said than done, but let us get your mind off it, you think good thoughts and know that the vet will do everything he can.

Crossing my fingers for little Pete and you. Hugs to you both.

Don't go borrowing trouble Jlo,just wait and see what happens,its upsetting enough with thinking of 'what ifs'

I could not find your post on pete,can you throw up a link?

The vet thought at first it was an inner ear problem, but after examining him ruled that out. He took blood tests, also. Pete's shown more signs of this morning's walk, plus the vet said he isn't responding to commands now. Another strange thing - when I woke him to take him to the vets he didn't get excited about the car ride and he wasn't able to jump in the car by himself.

He looked so healthy in your recent pictures,anything I say would not help Jlo.

I hope and pray he is OK and the vet can get to the bottom of the problem.

I know. This morning was the first time I noticed any problems with him. It's so hard not to panic. :o

Its out of your hands for now,the waiting game is hard,keep busy.

Its hard not to panic,but don't let your mind circle the worst case scenario.

Happy positive thoughts.

Well,try a little.

I'll try. I'm going to go get some lunch and take a walk along the river. Hope I didn't ruin everyone's day.

Or night ;)

It's okay, don't worry.

Well, I'm logging off now. Tomorrow tuition at 1.15 pm, I'll get about 4 hours from morning to complete my homework. Gosh, there are so much!

Night everyone :)

Be strong JLo :)

Not at all...

This ship looks after its own,one in,all in.;)

I know you're worried, but you're worrying isn't going to change anything. Think positive thoughts. Pete's where he needs to be. I'm sure the vet will do everything in his power to make him well again.

You take care of you, so you can take care of Pete when he gets home.

Promise? I will kick butt if you don't. ;)

With all this talk about pregnancy and getting pregnant, you might enjoy this:

Well, SOMETIMES... people pat my crotch and tell me, "good job..."

With all this talk about pregnancy and getting pregnant, you might enjoy this:

That is too funny! Have to send that one to my hubby... :)

Titter.

QP, there's only one thing that I didn't understand about the past math problem. I don't quite understand how a perfect square has an odd number of factors... I know they have an even number of prime factors (225 = 3x3x5x5) but what are the factors that is referred to with the statement that perfect squares have an odd number of factors? :confused:

Def: Factor Mathematics One of two or more quantities that divides a given quantity without a remainder.

Watch this: 4: Factors are 2 2 and 1; Odd
225 = 3x3x5x5x1; Odd

Forgot "1"

As Kiss says.

Factorisation includes 1. Prime factorisation excludes 1. Since 1 is not classed as a prime.* Thus perfect squares have odd factors but even prime factors.

You might sometimes be asked for distinct factors or distinct prime factors. (as in if a number features several times you only count the same number once).

e.g. 4=2x2 (x1) : 3 factors (2,2,1), 2 prime factors(2,2), 2 distinct factors(2,1) but only 1 distinct prime factor(2). Just mentioned that in case it ever comes up.

*The definition of a prime number is a natural number that has exactly two distinct natural number divisors. Thus 1 has only one distinct natural number divisor, 1, so is excluded.

Heck that last sentence reads like Chinese, even to a mathematician, hope you follow Unky I couldn't work out how else to put it lol.

I understand now thanks! :) (Don't worry, I understand Chinese ;))

But then, something else bug me... numbers such as 6 too have odd number of factors then, 1, 2 and 3. So, there are other numbers, besides perfect squares with an odd number of factors, right?

I could list many more :p (10, 14, 15, 21, 22, 26, etc)

But I think once you reach the triple digits, you're limited to just perfect squares.

You think so? ;)

How about... 414?

418 = 2 x 209 x 1

And I could go on. This happens every time you multiply a prime number by another prime number. You get the factors as one prime number, the other prime number and 1. Well, this can get into an odd number of different prime numbers being multiplied together... (eg 11x13x17x19x1 I better not work out the product :o)

Sorry for hi-jacking the thread :o

Oops, that's why math has never been a love of mine. I'm good at it, but I simply follow the easiest path to get to the answer and don't bother putting in more work than that.

Maybe I'm looking a little too far too... :(

I'm just trying to find some shortcuts.

For example, we know that if the last digit in a number is divisible by 2, then no matter what the number is, it'll be divisible by 2.
We know that if adding all the digits in a number comes to a number divisible by 3, then, the number is divisible by 3.
For 4, we look whether the two last digits are divisible by 4.
For 5, once the last digit is either 0 or 5, it's divisible by 5.
For 9, once the digits adds up to a number divisible by 9, it's divisible by 9.
For 10, 100, etc, so long there are enough zeros, they are divisible.
For 25, so long the last two digits are 00, 25, 50 or 75, they are divisible by 25.

That's all I know about how to check for factors... :(

Afraid I'm going out shortly Unky, then off early tomorrow for a trip to see son and help him move. My legs are still like bambi's from the flu so I'm going to be pulling on all my reserves for the rest of the weekend.

Can't see anything wrong with your reasoning above but not able to give it much thought atm.

Yes numbers other than perfect squares can have odd number of factors, not sure if there'e any more rules I can think of relating to that but will give it some thought when I'm not rushig around. The rule is useful when you know one of a set of numbers is a perfect square as in the problem you set but can't think of anything off-hand that makes it really useful the other way around if you see what I mean.

Promise to think some more after the weekend.

No worries, I have until Thursday. Go enjoy yourself tomorrow :)

OK I was thinking while doing my hair. Female multitasking lol.

Here's some more Unky:

Take the last digit, double it, and subtract it from the rest of the number;
if the answer is divisible by 7 then the number is also.

e.g.. Take 1491. 1x2 = 2. 149-2 = 147 147/7 = 21 so we know 1491 divides by 7. (1491/7 = 213).

It the last 3 digits of a number divide by 8 then the whole number divides by 8.

Ok really got to run, see you next week with more if I can.

Cya next time, and thanks! :)

I really like having a dog in the house. I think Camille does too!

What a freaky look on Camille's face! :eek:

I really like having a dog in the house. I think Camille does too!

well, she certainly doesn't seem to want the dog to LEAVE ^_^

What a freaky look on Camille's face! :eek: She is not a happy camper and defending her territory. I would never want to be on the bad side of a cat who was not a happy camper, for sure ! I only wish Pickle would stand up to Brook that way, but Pickle does seem to get her teasing in, like, nananananana catch me if you can !

Tick

Hey! I didn't hear about Brook for a long time! So, how's she? :)

*knock knock*

Anybody home?

Who's knocking on the door?

:: rubs sleep from eyes, throws on robe::

Hello?

I don't want any girl scout cookies.

Now give me my cookies! ;)

Yay! Alty is here!

Wait, what's the bathrobe doing down? :eek:

Sorry Unky, I'll do anything for cookies. :)

Oh! If it's for cookies :D

Uh... where are they? :confused: :o

Oh! If it's for cookies :D

Uh... where are they? :confused: :o

I'm sorry Unky. I ate them.

32302

Ow... :(

Okay, I think I'll get the chocolate bar then...

Chocolate?

Did you say chocolate?

I'll trade you a cookie for a chocolate.

But, you don't have any, do you? And besides... I just finished eating it :o

But, you don't have any, do you? And besides... I just finished eating it :o

Well I lied, I had a few left, but since you don't have chocolate to trade, I'm eating all the cookies! :D

I'm sorry my stay away from the castle has been so long! How is everyone? I have a computer again :) it's a really super cute netbook by Acer called Aspire one. Its tiny cute and adorable and purple LOL. I love it. And now I can be with friends more again.

Glad to see you back around! Enjoy playing with the new notebook... new toys are always fun... :)

Hehe definitely fun I can sit here in the living room with ayla whle she watches spongebob and still get my homework and resume and such done. And of course email and social too lol

jenniepepsi, so glad to see you back and posting. So glad also you have a new computer which will means we will see you more often, right ?

Hugs lady

Tick

Oh you will definitely see me more tick. I've already started to get back into answering and sifting through questions. I forgot how much fun it is. I'm almost done with school too, one more month and then I go on my extern and then I can start serious job hunting.

... rant time.

My brother's an idiot. I wouldn't say idiot, but... super duper naïve. He has a friend who places advertisements on craigslist to unlock/jailbreak iphones... and gets paid $50 a pop.

My brother does the actual work... unlocking/jailbreaking, and gets nothing out of it. He says it's a "favor" he's doing for a friend.

On one hand, I'm glad he's able to do a favor... on the other, his friend is getting paid $50 a pop while he just places the ad. When I explained to him that he should at least get 50% of it, he doesn't understand it at all.

... He's 17... doesn't understand the value of money at all... thinks that we'll be fine at all times. Just asked me for a new iPod for his birthday, and asked mom for the new starcraft game.

*bangs head* *bangs head* *bangs head*

Face it Sneezy, you got the brains in the family. You can't expect lightening to strike twice.

Boo.

boo.

Ahhhh? ;)

Hi KP. How are you sweetie?

Irritated and irritable.

Looking for a fight.

The usual.

How r you babe?

It's okay. I guess we'll have the trade some other time :)

I'm hot, sweaty, and boy could I use a massage and a nice hot bubble bath.

I'm too lazy to draw the bath, and I don't think a massage is in the cards either. :: pout::

Other than that, I'm peachy keen. :)

It's okay. I guess we'll have the trade some other time :)

Are you talking about our chocolate, cookie trade Unky?

Text time I get cookies I'll share. I promise. I was just so darn hungry before.

Boy do I want some chocolate though. It's been a long time since I had a good chocolate. Just thinking about it is making my mouth water. I think I'm drooling on the keyboard. :(

Hmm.

Sucks to be us, apparently.

I'm all for drawing a tall bath and finishing the night with my fingers over smooth, wanting skin.

Ah well. I'm in no mood to brood too much tonight.

Jus' saying. These hands are bored, bored, bored.

Smiles your way girl.

I hope your keyboard doesn't get sparks and stop working :eek:

Oops, I forgot to say hi. Hi Alty and kp! :)

Idle hands are the devil's workshop. Or some such thing.

Smiling right back at you sweetie.

Oh, and hi Unky. :)

I've spent most of my life being bad while being good... meaning in no damn angel, but I don't play mind games and I do not cross some lines, ever...

But I'm looking to make some waves here soon... or not... time will tell...

I'm patient... until I am not... tick... tick... tick...

Mind games, don't like them. Brain tests, don't like them either. ;)

Are you planning on rocking the boat KP? Let me know so I can hold on to something, k?

I haaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttttte this dog!! It was outside all f#@cking day and you know what it did? It sh!t and pissed all over my bed! Stupid Beagle! Needless to say I got rid of my bed and bought a new one--- yeah I was not going to wash it. Screw that.

Ugh it's been 3 days and I can't wait for the owners to come pick her up. She can be outside all freakin' day and she'll sh!t all over the house. And now my house STINKS.

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Charge them for the Febreze and talk to them about separation anxiety. Just a thought.

Here I am all ready to start painting the house and santa's little helper (brendan) is on the 10th hole playing the best game of his life...

Ill be lucky to get a start on the painting today...

It just may be Friday,he came home full of the joys!

I didn't even mention the paint,let him enjoy the glory until it dawns on him about painting the house.:rolleyes:

Hey sneezy,you having fun?:D

Of course! I always laugh whenever my body functions make noises.

I usually just say.. damn dog,what's he eating!

I just say "R! That was gross, but on a scale from 1-10, you get a solid 9!" Then the kids giggle and ask me to rate their bodily functions.

Hey guys, so I missed a few days, and obviously need to be caught up! So I see the greenie thing has changed. Alty explained that, but I also see that people's names have changed? What's the deal here?

Shortening names is what they told me

Ya, Keepitsimplestupid is now just "KISS", and I'm hoping that once the get through the longer names they'll change mine to Alty, or Poodisturber, or Queenofthebunnies". :)

Lol, there were too many X's in your username for sure ;)

Well good morning unky you still there?

Hi Jennie! :)

Yes, I'm still here, for about 5 minutes before I go some time for dinner.

How are you? It's been a while :)

Ok, looks like dinner is ready earlier than usual :)

Where is mauritiues? Lol its only 8am here Lol I'm thinking about breakfast. And is it Monday or Tuesday for you?

Soryr I didn't mean to be gone so long.

Oh and I have been great. I have several job prospects and several options for a place of my own. I graduate in 2 months. After August I go on my extern for a month and then I'm done YAY lol.

Hey all! Aww it's another beautiful sunny day here in NS. E is home all day, I think a trip to the beach is in order.

Well goodmorning bell! How are you? Lol.
