Dibs – that was a very scary article you posted earlier re: the woman in Dubai being raped and then held in custody
truly backwards, plus isn’t Dubai one of the more “modern” areas, but it still falls under Saudi law, correct?

Rob – am with you!
I am LOVING the R train more and more – I get on, I get a seat, I read my nytimes app on my ipod all the way up to 59th and 5th and no one sits NEAR me at all
I agree I like the older trains too!!!

“requiring me to raise a fractional number to the power of another number.”
— kinda the way you can’t raise your offer on those props.

m4l, I was NOT pretending, and Kens, I have Excel, but don’t know how to do complex algebraic calculations.

Anyway, I’m done. It was NOT 1 hour (as they said it would be). It was NOT for beginners (as they said it was). I got 9 out of 11 correct and scored 82% (which is great because my boss only got 55%). I did fine except for the 2 equations requiring me to raise a fractional number to the power of another number.

blowfish, I’m so sorry, I may have left you off the Clam Bake email, inadvertently. I’ve been swamped with freelance work and job hunt stuff. Date not set, postponing until early June will send new email to you. : )

my vision is fine these days. those idiots at that vision place i went to in park slope claimed that my left eye uses a 6.00 rx and my right eye was a 4.00 rx. i went months with wonky vision! turns out that both my eyes see perfectly if i just use the 4.00’s in both eyes :-/

i have a sneaking suspicion they just wanted me to have to buy two prescriptions. i actually have to get more of the correct 4.00’s (i still have a ton of the 6’s that i dont know what to do with).. if anyone is that script you can have them. (can i donate them somewhere?, i know you can donate glasses but not sure about contact lenses.) do you think the eye doctor will just let me order the 4.00’s this time?
