Dawn: Voice of bearlee

[george55]

Can't do individual ones right now and I'm not sure why Dawn hasn't been on-the computer at home works great. Tom seems to be upset I didn't say anything "intelligent" last time. Well, I found this in a the Florida Educational Math Association(FEMA for short).

Evolution of Math in Florida​

Preface
Last week I purchased a burger and fries at McDonalds for $3.58. The counter girl took my $4.00 and I pulled 8 cents from my pocket and gave it to her. She stood
holding the nickel and 3 pennies. While looking at the screen on her register, I sensed her discomfort and tried to tell her to just give me two quarters, but she
hailed the manager for help.

While he tried to explain the transaction to her, she stood there and cried. Why do I tell you this? Because of the evolution in teaching math since the 1950's..........

Teaching Math In 1950

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit?

Teaching Math In 1960

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?

Teaching Math In 1970

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80. Did he make a profit?

Teaching Math In 1980

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20 Your assignment: Underline the number 20.

Teaching Math In 1990

A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers.)

Teaching Math In 2006
Un ranchero vende una carretera de maderapara $100. El cuesto de la produccion era $80. Cuantos tortillas se puede comprar?



So I'm wondering if there is a moral to this and all I can do is think back to the 2000 election and the difficulty they had in Florida counting in sequential order for the election and now I know-everyone in Florida works at McDonalds

New math always scared me when my kids were in school, give me trig and algebra anytime......

Okay,

If U=a/2(3 sqaured) and F=the number of horses in South Africa and C= the number of times 4 goes into 7 less five expressed 4/7-5 and K=9(xy) and but is always >16/C when U=F and C=U but only when C=C and K is expressed as F+U=C+K, what does (FU)C+K equal?

Sounds like California too. Its scary how the standards have slipped.....and also how out of practice you can get after you leave school.

I talked to one of my friends the other day. She has two kids-one 13 and the other 9. I asked her how her week was.(I hadn't seen her since Wednesday)

She looked at me and said "Alright, just trying to pass the fourth grade for the third time".

You're in California-is she one of your classmates?

If all horses are black except the ones that aren't and,
Mrs. Edith is a horse with gender identity problems,
Is Mrs. Edith black, white or gray or some shade of lavender?

Geroge, it's implicit in the problem how many horses there are-you sure you know this stuff

Yes I am and yes she is lol

Its a community college and it is an art class so we get lots of people of all ages. We have a couple people who are 19 and we have one guy who is a retired Gasoline Company Executive. He is a photographer and traveler aswell.

Yesterday he wanted to take pics of some of us working. He was intending to take pics of the "Returning" or "Experienced" students, but what he ended up saying was he was taking pics of the "OLD PEOPLE". Some people just looked at him and laughed...others looked like they might punch him. I was just confused how, at 25, I could be one of the "OLD PEOPLE".

if F and U are equal, and u=a/2, then there must be ponies in the bun...thus the question.......

HOT FUCKING DAMN! PONIES IN THE FRIGGIN' BUN!!! NOW YOU'RE TALKIN'!!!

Welcome back, stranger!

Not you george! I was talkin' to bear. He's the one who seems to have forgotten that ohio ain't no friggin' better when it cums to elections. I mean ... Ohio and Florida both voted for Jimmy Carter back in the day ...

... even though it was well known he was sleepin' with Rosalynn.

Sorry ... I'm still snickerin' over that pic.

for a person from Florida who elected a Bush and couldn't tell if you elected another, you sure do have a hell of a fixation with a former President who actually served his country and a Nobel Peace prize winner. Author of books on religion, history, poetry, children's stories , and fiction. Diplomat and humanitarian......

yep his brother had Billy Beer.........

but I don't hold it against you for your disdain......

at least during his presidency we were allowed to poke fun of fellow Americans.....now, not so sure......


no matter what, I feel you have the right to do so......and laugh along with you..............

enjoy your goats........


highest regards for your humor.

I thought everybody agreed by now that Florida didn't actually vote for Bushy boy ... but his brother rigged all the results. Now I'm all confused again. Maybe I'll have to go back through my records and see who I voted for.

Anyway, I don't disdain Jimmy boy ... although I do disdain Billy Beer. That stuff really sucked. JC was, imnsho, the most moral president we ever had. Unfortunately, also the least effective because he didn't have a clue on DC politics ... and got little help from even his own party in trying to get anything done.

And btw ... after bush retires I have it on good authority that he's going to at least write one book.



OK ... so it's a comic book on how an american super hero went to the middle east and conquered all terrorism ... and rid the entire area of non-existent WMD ... all in a matter of 4 weeks ... mission accomplished ... done ... nada bad guys ... over and out.

...

Comic book ... but it's still a book.



Maybe we can all rally the nobel guys to start giving one for comics, hey?!?

But if you're trying to convince me jimmy is/was good in the sack, I still ain't buyin' into that!

there used to be a can of billy around here somewhere, one of my sons must have needed a fart chaser.....

ok, I'll give you that....Florida only did it once...we'll blame it on the Supremes

I'll wait for it like I did Billy C's tume.............or give it your goat as fodder!!!!!!!!

 

[DiJiT]

25 is not old...no matter how you look at it...

lol There are days that definately feel like it Cats.

I'm built like a boulder, but I'm still getting the creaks and cracks when I move.

I was in class the one day and my shoulder cracked when I moved it the one time and one friend looked from across the table and said "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!!"

I just looked at her and grumbled" ......That was my shoulder. It does that sometimes"

 

[bearlee]

This reminded me of Ol' Tom, well and DiJiT too since he's built like a boulder and feels as old as one.

Old Ladies

The first old woman told the second old woman that sometimes she gets her husband excited at night by getting totally naked, lying in bed and putting both legs behind her head, yoga style.

The second old woman thought that this was a great idea, so that night when her husband went in the bathroom to get ready for bed; she got totally naked and began the process of putting her legs behind her head.

The first leg was kind of tough to put in place as she was a bit arthritic. However, she finally got it in place She had an even tougher time with the second leg, so she rocked herself backwards until she finally got it behind her head.

However, she had rocked just a little too hard so that she flipped slightly backwards and got stuck with her butt sticking straight up in the air. It was just then that her husband came out of the bathroom.

"Gladys!" he exclaimed. "For heavens sake, comb your hair and put your
teeth in .... You look like an asshole."

By the way, Jimmy Carter has turned into an asshole

Oooopppssss ... ... ... sorry george. Someone didn't teach the ohioinians any manners about past presidents.

btw bear, how do you know that dijit feels like a boulder. I mean, I might speculate he gets aroused reading your sexual jokes, but I wouldn't claim to know how hard his erection is, ya know?!?
