Re: [Mid] Algebra flunkers anonymous

Nice to know I'm in good company. Math, although over the years I have
acquired enough of a working knowledge of it to survive, has always been
hard for me mostly brcause it just never interested me much... no more than
cooking and sewing. There are other things I do quite well, though, and so
I suppose it is up to every lord and lady to find out what their true talent
is and to make the most of it. {(<grin!>)}
