Oh yeah thats right, polling is a violation of the CoC. Stupid rule, I never understood that one. Whats the big deal?

btw I wasnt going to give my age, but then I realized that I put that info in my profile. D'oh!
So yeah im older than 30, but not yet 40. Almost over the hill, but not quite just yet.

perhaps. Though mostly it's not related to them. I do suspect there will be a second attempt at seduction soon.

Mostly it's cause I can almost feel Progress being ready to be made in my life in general.

Hell Romantically speaking, (which is the last area I guage Progress in) it almost appears as if someone Sane, has an interest in me. I will know more about her Sanity or lack there of shortly. (Yes yes insert easy "she'd have to be crazy to show an interest in you!" joke, but she could also be a Saint right? Right? She don't have to be Crazy ) So far Sane, and drop dead gorgeous. So far I've almost been like an awkward teenager in her presence. Which never happens with me. I keep meaning to say something clever or witty but something somewhat stupid just comes out instead.  

Job wise things are looking fairly stable. More and more so as I've been continuing to work there really. Vehicle wise, I think the Camaro is going to be actually running around by the end of the year. (Or if not I'll certainly have $ put away to get one that is)

I'm half waiting for the Hammer to drop right now. Things are starting to look to bright, so it's about time fate knocks out the lightbulb on me again.

I might have a new target for Halloween this year. Captain Hammer. The hair is the same. That pic is pretty well current. (Though I've never really changed hairstyles. It's either just too long, or it's that pretty much)

Actually, there was a point in the missive, two points, actually, that neatly sum up my estimation of your options concerning the quoted portion of text.

A) The hammer, the tool that ****s up your good fortune: sometimes that has to be you. Get to it.

B) Rember that the fists are not the hammers, "My penis is the hammer". **** fate.

Yes.

Although I didn't think any OTTers were younger than 16 so I didn't have a 15- bracket. It was added later.

Usually when collecting data, such as in a poll, it is best to have all of the class width be the same.

ie.

15-
16-20
21-25
26-30
31-35
36-40
41+

or even cut it down to a width of 10

15-
16-25
26-35
36-45
46+

But that depends on the kind of accuracy you're looking for.

Cursed? I don't see how.

1) Probably the easiest math class i've taken in my life (and most of my other math classes have been easy for me)

2) A lot of great looking girls always want tutoring help with statistics (apparently it's hard)

3) I'm a math tutor that just so happens to know statistics.

Again i'm now seeing how that is a curse in any way, shape or form.

So 21, but I have no idea what number "187" was supposed to be, as it doesn't seem to fit.  Maybe boj0 just stopped playing the second game after he got 187?
