what makes you both so sure? Anyhow, I get one of my little cousins to cut my hair as a matter of course. They do quite a good job and it's a hell of a lot cheaper than going to an actual hairdresser.
I discovered that Ritalin can not only cure ADD, but also depression. YAY! it helps me mix medication.
I went out with someone last night for the first time and he told me that I look 28 and not 33 (I told him to get his eyes checked). he also called back to say that he enjoyed the evening with me.
Had me smiling since then !!
yes, yes ?.... more details please!
Is he a fetching chap?
ooooh that sounds good
complimentary
enjoyed the evening
called
and how did Gautam find the evening?
So, did I tell you about the new Turkish place around the corner yet? They followed the example of the Moroccan shop further down the street, which sells all yer regular Moroccan migrant grocery shop stuff but has put three huge, beautiful bowls with olives in the window and calls itself "Olive Plaza", thus easily succeeding in attracting a whole new, white clientele.
The Turkish place is not a shop but a take-away, but instead of modeling itself on the endless doner kebab places down by the A'street with their strip lighting and bored youth hanging on barstools while the radio's on loud, they too have sniffed out what approach to take here. A nice strip of blue-white mosaic-like painted decoration around the outside wall, a range of different dishes presented in large bowls in a large, clean store. And hosts that really, really love their new enterprise. (In fact, it turns out one of the people who started it is an old colleague of mine, who apparently mostly gave up on her media career - but most of the times it's a positively endearing young couple that's in the store, a somewhat shy but sweet and friendly young guy and an outgoing, smiling young woman with fashionably short hair.)
I was going to post about them the day after they opened, when there was this older white couple in front of me. They were asking about a borek (you know, borek - what you can buy on every street corner in a German town), and were told about it being a "traditional, ovenfloor-baked Turkish dough dish filled with minced meat spiced in Turkish fashion". Oooh, that sounds interesting, they cooed. I grinned behind them in appreciation.
Anyway, apart from clever these people are also just really, really nice. By now all the flowers that filled half the store the first week or two (all bouquets they were given in congratulation for their new place) have gone, but today I saw something new on the wall: a man-high paper sheet with all kinds of little papers on it, each featuring a B/W copy of a picture of some kid and a circular paper that said in kids' handwriting, "thang you for the food" or "it was very yummy" or "thank you very muck", all circled around with drawings and stuff. They explained that it had been national childrens' book week last week, and for the occasion the whole class of the woman's daughter (or cousin or somesuch) had been invited over and G., my ex-colleague, a very lively and spirited woman, had read a childrens book to them while the others served them all food. And so they had made this big sheet as a present back, to say thank you.
Aawwww!

If I may add my two cents re: The Terminal.... the gentleman in question is no longer "stuck." By the time he finally became "unstuck," he'd completely lost his mind. If I'm not mistaken, Belgium (I think it was Belgium) agreed to allow him into the country, but he chose to remain in the Paris airport which is where he still lives. One of the many mythbuster type television shows profiled him a few months before the movie was released.
I think i know the answer, but i dont get it.... show your work plz
The average age of a group of teachers and students is 20. The average age of the teachers is 35, and the average age of students is 15. What is the ratio of teachers to students? Express your answer as a common fraction.

Damn. <silent>
I knew the truth would be infintely sadder than the movie. What a world, eh?
1/4
I never showed my work. That's the reason I almost failed algebra....I couldn't remember a formula to save my life, so I used logic to solve word problems instead.
Sorry to burst your bubble, nimh. It just goes to prove: if you want the truth, come to me; if you want happy, rent a Disney film. (Which reminds me: Quasimodo didn't get the girl either.)
i thought it was 1/4 too, but my bro thought it was something diff, and hes in quite a few grades older than me
OOOOps! It's 1/3! It's been a long time since algebra class......LOL
1/4 is the number of teachers vs. the total.
o no!! 3 dif answers!! i htought it was 1/4 or 1/3
some1 said it was 1/4, then you say its 1/3, and my bro *older* said it was 3/7
still on the search for answers lol, but thanks guyz
Okay, I'll show my reasoning:
If you've got 1 teacher aged 35 and 3 students aged 15......
1x35=35
3x15=45
35+45=80
80/4=20=your average age
1/3 is the number of teachers to students
1/4 is the number of teachers to people
(Now I remember why I majored in literature.)
lol, i dont know... lol im so confuzzled hehe
I smiled, damn near cackled, while watching my neice at soccor practice.
Thanks for making me use my brain, anyhow.
