I would get tons of metrosexual points...oh man, don't get me started. Manicures, pedicures....my wife thinks I am her Ken Doll sometimes. But hey, what am I doing to say "No, honey I don't want the attention. You may not groom me!" And today, I am wearing a pink dress shirt and tie. There is nothing wrong with dressing well. If I am going to put on a suit, it's going to look good to me.... There is nothing worse than a man in a cheap suit!

I like the running shoe in the background! Smile

Nice catch. I was wondering if anyone would notice that shoe. It's a retired shoe that I put on to go out on the balcony to tend to the grill. And the Blue Cat doll and clock is from a Japanese cartoon called "Doraemon" that my wife is nuts about (she's Japanese). It's kind of a cute story, but he's a robot cat that was sent from the future back in time to look after the robot owner's great grandfather who is sort of a loser. The time machine's door is in the child's clothes dresser, where the cat pops out of initially. Doraemon is a cat with no ears because a mouse chewed them off when he was taking a nap and now the cat is scared to death of mice. And he was originally orange but after the mouse chewed off his ears he cried so much that the orange paint got rinsed off by his tears. He also pulls all these gadgets out of his "belly" as needed to help situations the boy runs in to. It's the oldest running cartoon in Japan. The original creators died but they still make new episodes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doraemon

You're just trying to confuse us with the concept of negative numbers. It worked.

Hee hee! My "favorite" mathematical concept is the imaginary number - the SQUARE ROOT OF A NEGATIVE NUMBER. How can this be?? Even after getting a master's degree in engineering, I don't understand it. And what's even weirder is that electrical engineers use imaginary numbers to design REAL things. ACK! That's why I barely passed the introductory EE class I had to take. Any math geeks out there want to help me out? I could Google the subject, but I'm not that motivated, lol. I guess it has to do with the fact that you're using the imaginary numbers as part of a process to get to a final answer, but STILL! Teresa

Ooh, I forgot, math geeks might not want to respond, because if they "come out," members of the BPC might want to kick them out!

Wait, what? I'm sorry, my eyes glazed over while I was reading about imaginary numbers. Yeah, your secret is safe here.

I added a new 5 point item--not getting along well with computers/technology. I love the stuff, but I think I have some sort of electronics incompatibility field surrounding me. I can't currently update my Garmin.

I just went to a math seminar on logarithms...can I still be in the group. I also have my PhD but I really only did that so that I would meet my husband and get that pretty black robe with the yellow and blue thingee. I forgot about imaginary numbers though!

I added points for degrees in "useless" subjects. I have BAs in English Lit. and Photography/Comm. Score! Wink
