Ok. I'll just do it then.

 

1ft = 12 in.

 

you know that 12(.3) = 3.6

 

that is: 30% of 12 is 3.6

 

so then you just move things around:

 

3.6/12 = .3

 

so he got 3.6 inches but he requested 3.6 feet of ribbon.

 

I hope I didn't beef this one.

No the answer has to be something like this

 

asked for #feet#inches brought #feet#inches

 

the numbers have to be replaced in the pattern such as asked for 1feet 2inches brought 2feet 1inches and the brought has to be exactly 30% of the asked!!!

no help needed. i got it.

 

So, I made 2 formulas and stuck with them

 

Here we go:

 

12(x)+y=z

 

12y+x=.3z

 

 

solve for the variables

 

Nine feet and two inches were mistaken with two feet and nine inches.

 

12(9)+2=110

 

12(2)+9=33

 

33/110=.3

I already know that one. I'm not sure I should just kill it on the spot. I'll tell you in PM just to prove it if you want.

Naming of Parts

 

 

To-day we have naming of parts. Yesterday,

We had daily cleaning. And to-morrow morning,

We shall have what to do after firing. But to-day,

To-day we have naming of parts. Japonica

Glistens like coral in all of the neighboring gardens,

And to-day we have naming of parts.

 

This is the lower sling swivel. And this

Is the upper sling swivel, whose use you will see,

When you are given your slings. And this is the piling swivel,

Which in your case you have not got. The branches

Hold in the gardens their silent, eloquent gestures,

Which in our case we have not got.

 

This is the safety-catch, which is always released

With an easy flick of the thumb. And please do not let me

See anyone using his finger. You can do it quite easy

If you have any strength in your thumb. The blossoms

Are fragile and motionless, never letting anyone see

Any of them using their finger.

 

And this you can see is the bolt. The purpose of this

Is to open the breech, as you see. We can slide it

Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this

Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards

The early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:

They call it easing the Spring.

 

They call it easing the Spring: it is perfectly easy

If you have any strength in your thumb: like the bolt,

And the breech, and the cocking-piece, and the point of balance,

Which in our case we have not got; and the almond-blossom

Silent in all of the gardens and the bees going backwards and forwards,

For to-day we have naming of parts.

 

-Henry Reed

In the Museum

 

Small and emptied woman you lie here a thousand years dead

your hands on your diminished loins flat in this final bed

teeth jutting from your unwound head your spiced bones black and dried,

who knew you and kissed you and kept you and wept when you died;

died you young had you grace? Risus sardonicus replied.

Then quick I seized my husband's hand while he stared at his bride.

-Isabella Gardner

 

NOTE: Risus sardonicus means sardonic laughter.

20/20 vision.

 

Perfect sight.

 

 

 

 

Right?

 

 

 

Do people really have perfect sight?

 

After all, if you have 20/20 vision you can see many things clearly.

 

 

 

But is that real sight?

 

Most people only see what they want to see.

 

Hear only what they want to hear.

 

Read only what they want to read.

 

Think only what they want to think.

 

And only believe in what they want to believe is right.

 

 

 

But then------------------------------------------------------------------------------what is right?

 

And what is wrong?

 

Do right and wrong even exist?

 

 

 

Many people only view things in their own terms and what they want.

 

They don't think about the other side.

 

The counter thought.

 

So, in many ways, aren't most people still blind?

 

 

 

 

 

So much for the surgery.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's a quote I found a long time ago:

 

"Men who believe themselves to be good, who do not search their own souls, most often commit the worst atrocities. A man who sees himself as evil will restrain himself. It is only when we do evil in the belief that we do good that we pursue it wholeheartedly." --David Farland

Zara jan I don't know about you but my vision is 20/15, it's a little bit better then the 20/20, I can see a little bit further!!! ;)

 

My vision is not super great. Mediocre, I guess. But I don't need glasses.

Yes because smelling like fish is great for work. Maybe I'll get a raise. Edited by Zara
