    I'm selling out and converting over to miles to make it easier on everyone :).

    Nooooo!!! If they want to know your distance in miles, they should be able to convert kilometers to miles and vice versa! Little math does not hurt anybody :bigsmile: :glasses:

    Personally, I think math is deceptively treacherous, but I am capable of using a calculator.

    Mathematics are gloriously beautiful and so logical... it is arithmetic that will get you every time:laugh:
    You mathematicians and your applied logic- that's where it all goes horribly wrong.

    I think she just insulted my intelligence...that's okay I enjoy my uncomplicated life.:happy:

    I didn't mean for it to come across as insulting :embarassed: But if it did, the blame is on John von Neumann :wink:

    Math is logical and true -- unlike the English language where one word can have multiple meanings. Now THAT is deceptively treacherous.
    Hey...careful now... that is how I make my money... :)

    LOL! And math is how I make mine :)

    I agree. I speak fluent math :). It's just easier this way.. :grumble:
    BTW, I love your weight loss ticker :bigsmile:

    Yes! It is much easier. Mathematics is my second choice of therapy (after running, of course :bigsmile: )
    And thank you :blushing: I love the fact that someone gets it :laugh:

    Uh... I didn't... I guess I have been spending too much time treacherously and deceptively exploiting the English language for its multiple meanings. If I didn't, how could I possibly stay in the business of creating ex-wives?

    *Although as an after-thought, I suppose dividing assets and getting alimony requires at least minimal math skills.... or maybe not if I just demand it all....

    10/1 2.4
    10/6 1.5

    I'm trying something different, does anybody run listening to audio books? It didn't seem to make my run and workout to bad.

    "I'm trying something different, does anybody run listening to audio books? It didn't seem to make my run and workout to bad"
    ...I've downloaded podcasts for listening while I run: only problem is "wait, wait, don't tell me" makes me laugh so hard I lose my stride!
