Having first hand experience with wildfires (both from having to evacuate and from assisting first responders), it's always crazy, and always fascinating to follow. I hope everyone is okay. Thank you brother for us, for putting his life on the line for everyone else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or should I go with $ value/pc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen_rockefeller Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I think that if you don't have one your opinion or comment on it is irrelevant and should not exist........come to think of it that should be the standard for any set. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarleyMoose Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Was out with a few buddies tonight. One had too much to drink so I drove him home. Not before he puked in the front seat of my car. Smelled of Grand Marnier. Dude! At least give me a warning.... So I puked cleaning up his puke.... So bummed right now.

oneknightr Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Is it too much to ask to have one bricklink seller have all the pieces I need with acceptable prices? I hate having to find the seller who has the most (or close to) pieces out of my want list at the best (or close to) price. I do love bricklink though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every night. Prime end of the night time for me on the west coast. I can only imagine it's pretty annoying in Hawaii, too. It's annoying to me because it hits right at that, "well, if I'm going to stop I'm going to go to bed now" time, when I'd rather keep going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpinemaps Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Not sure if I should direct this to Common Core Math or my daughter's second grade teacher. This weekend, we struggled with a math problem. I thought it went one way, but then decided it went another way. It's not the "show your work" part that I'm annoyed with. I understand the concepts behind what they are doing and how they have to show the work, and I understand why Common Core is set up the way it is. No, my real issue is with the problem that she had to solve. Just doing the problem in my head, I know the correct answer. But the answer the teacher came up with is completely different. I didn't cheat and look up the answer over the weekend, but now that it's come back, I looked it up; and discovered I was correct! So I'm pretty annoyed that the teacher worked it out wrong, and is confusing my daughter. Especially because I'm already paying for a math tutor for her. My daughter is an advanced reader, great speller, comprehends a lot. But math just trips her up. I don't need her teacher confusing her even more. So, dear reader, I put the question out there to you. You don't have to show the work, just tell me the answers: - 38 fewer girls attended summer camp than boys. 79 girls attended. 1. How many boys attended summer camp? 2. How many kids attended summer camp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
