| I used to do well with mental arithmetic, but now there are times I cannot even recall multiplication tables. As to the matter of making change, however, this is the very simplest and most accurate way: I used to have to make change and I dealt with it by counting up to the nearest dollar. If someo... |

| The thought that there isn't really any choice for us other than playing a 'rail shooter' game of life is disturbing. However, I think since life is so mundane we never take the time to review important aspects of our life or project future events. Looking at a deck of cards might help form outline ... |

Can't stand when crunchy food is mixed with soft food (think mint chocolate chip ice cream). I can snack on the chips and snack on mint ice cream, but don't mix. Even worse the instant pistacio pudding. I will strain the nut chips out of the powder first.
Of course dont let food touch each other |

Does up before the beak predate up before the birds?

My eye's lit up after the first 10 minutes of the film. Said out loud in the theater, "I want to live in this world."
It saddens me that people are so used to social lubrication that the truth is considered rude. Naturally mean people would no longer have a place to hide. |

I would have done better with formal training. I get the feeling that no matter what I put there would have been a 'trick answer' based on linguistics versus logic. The birds are reptiles question was fun. I used a venn diagram for that (circles in a circle). |
