rhetoric and logic tells me that dividing by 0 is like not dividing at all.
so x/0 = x.

I know they'd have to re write ALOT of math books (all of them, perhaps)

but I wonder where that would lead, we do have euclidian geometry.

maybe this could be Alexisian Division...
I called it first, yeah!!

I am in need of clarity between "expanding the intellectual base" and "sharpending the intellectual base".
Some say "expanding the intellectual base" and "sharpening the intellectual base are the same". But, in my understanding - "expanding" and "sharpening" are diametrically opposite terms.
What is your view?

when i was a child i would never swear at my parents still wouldnt ( its called having respect ) so why do teenagers now think its ok to tell their parents to go away ( but not so polite ) when you bring them up the same way your parents bought you up

So I'm a senior in high school getting ready to apply for colleges but I'm worried about my extracurricular activity, mainly how I had none. I have been a part of two clubs in the past four years but each have only been for one year and I was never very deep into either. I'm worried that it will look bad when I'm applying to colleges, that I'll look uninvolved or like a drifter. If I lied on admissions papers and said I was in groups or participated in things outside of school is there any way they'd find out?

My Hubby has a DVT filter in his leg. I'm not certain as to which leg has the filter since I was not in surgery when the filter was put into place; however, since the surgery his right-leg as been severly swollen to the point he cannot walk most of the time. He says the swelling makes his right leg feel like its a "log". Is there anything "I" can do to help him? Any advise will be gracefully appericated. Thank in advance for all of your advice.

I know I am probably going to get yelled at for asking this question, but what is the main difference between English and Western riding? I can ride western and bareback on my horse. I have only ridden english once and it was mostly walking so I couldn't compare much. It felt a lot unsteadier though. I know the saddles are different, but why? Western is just more casual is what I've been told, but barrel racing seems a bit more intense than dressage to me. I want to jump eventually ( I've jumped western and bareback, not very high though) so I am going to switch over to English soon. Why are the stirrups different? Why is there no horn? Does the horse act any differently?

No but really. Is it real? Is it just a misconception that's really just passion or insanity? If that feeling (you know the feeling) you get isn't love, then what is it?

I've been with the same guy (the only guy) since I was 19 - I'm now 28. I've never been able to fully move out from my paren'ts because if I did it would be to his place, but he's a disability pensioner with a daily marijuana habit and he never leaves his house. Deep down he's a great guy but he has never actually come to see me, but sits back and expects me to go to his place, using excuses like "my car won't make it to your place" or "I don't leave my house". The problem is that I want to enjoy life and while I'm happy to have fun at home I do occasionally like to eat out or go and do things. For a while there a female friend of his who'd separated from her hubby moved in with her kids to help him pay his bills - she's not staying there now and refuses to talk to him anymore - and he said he thinks she loves him (he was crying when he confessed this). I know it's all so wrong but I have NO other friends and am very introverted. Where do I start to fix my life??

Seriously, I observe how people treat suicides and it's usually seen as selfish, evil and the people who commit suicide are cowards and sad people who have mental issues. They are often told to get help--counselor, therapist--but what if they don't have a problem with their life. Maybe they just have a problem with life. We are the same as any other animal, we are born, we reproduce, we die. That's basically it. It takes a lot to kill yourself and I don't think its fair to call those who did it cowards. They are far more courageous than any living person because it's not an easy thing to do...I don't know...I live a pretty ok life. I graduated High School in June and I had fun there. I just don't see the point to continuing living. We keep telling ourselves that there is a purpose, we must be here for a reason and when you look at it, life is miraculous in it's own ways ways but I think it's all luck. If I didn't have a family, I honestly wouldn't hesitate. What do you think?

Atm my OCD is really making me obsessed and making me worried ive done something wrong or might do in the future.
A question for fellow christians.
It says you are not able to lust ( i assume that means not to think of a woman and make pleasure) as it equals adultry.
But is it wrong to think of your partner (gf/bf/housband) ?
If you and your partner think of of each other during such a event is that wrong? since its not just any woman but the actual one you love? Is it wrong to engage in such events with each other ? I know sex is for after marriage but im talking about pleasing each other either in front of each other? or alone with yourself thinking of the partner

i'm 21 already. i'm moving out of my parents house next week as the house is getting too crowded for me. i am sharing a room with my sis, my elder's sis's mum in law n sis in law whom i hardly knew. i find the situation uncomfortable n that i dun have personal space. when i announced that i am moving out, my elder sis started lashing out about me running away from my responsibilities (i.e not wanting the burden of taking care of my aged parents)that i am being a selfish brat.
i just cant see it from her point of view. my intention was to get my own personal space n to give more space for the rest that is still living in the house.
pls advise me if i am making the right decision. pls bear in mind that my family is a traditional malay family who believes that family is everything. but i dun share the same thoughts with them.
its not as if i'm totally abandoning my family. i'll visit n stuff. i mean how far apart can we be still living in tiny singapore??

I have been taking Seroquel for about 8 months, and I gradually reduced the doses (under doctor's supervision) and finally successfully stop taking it. I did not cold-turkey it.

However, I would like to know, if there can be any withdrawl symptoms possible after quitting Seroquel.

After stopping the med, I have been experiencing insomnia and strong constipation.

I was wondering, if those problems have anything to do with Seroquel.

I tried to ask my doctor about this but he is gone for a week for out-of-country seminar.

What do you think?

Thanks

A lawyer married a woman who had previously divorced ten husbands. On their
wedding night, she told her new husband, \"Please be gentle, I\'m still a
virgin.\"
\"What?\" said the puzzled groom. \"How can that be if
you\'ve been married ten times?\"

\"Well, Husband #1 was a sales representative; he kept telling me how great
it was going to be.
Husband #2 was in software services; he was never really sure how it was
supposed to function, but he said he\'d look into it and get back to me.
Husband #3 was from field services; he said everything checked out
diagnostically but he just couldn\'t get the system up.
Husband #4 was in telemarketing; even though he knew
he had the order, he didn\'t know when he would be able to deliver.

Husband #5 was an engineer; he understood the basic process but wanted
three years to research, implement, and design a new state-of-the-art
method.
Husband #6 was from finance and administration; he
thought he knew how, but he wasn\'t sure whether it was his job or not.

Husband #7 was in marketing; although he had a nice
product, he was never sure how to position it.

Husband #8 was a psychologist; all he ever did was
talk about it.

Husband #9 was a gynecologist; all he did was look
at it.

Husband #10 was a stamp collector; all he ever did
was... God! I miss him!

But now that I\'ve married you, I\'m really excited!\"
\"Good,\" said the new husband, \"but, why?\"
\"You\'re a lawyer. This time I know I\'m gonna get
screwed!\"
