Oh thanks for the addition of Tux Math, I love Maths and always loved it :)
Thanks for the detailed comment and it's nice to know that you teach your students Maths as well.

I came across your blog when I searched for "intimate anorexia". Thank you for sharing this. My boyfriend is an intimate anorexic. We have broken up a few times and always come back to each other. I've only recently found out this is why he broke up with me before. I am trying to be supportive and patient and understanding but a part of me is also angry when he is silent and disappears from me for weeks. He wants to marry me and when he's well and is talking to me, it all sounds great. But I don't know really what to expect if we get married. I don't know how he will handle being married when he is freaking out and is afraid of being loved. I told him I need to talk with his therapist to know what to do and what to expect if he wants to marry me.

I like what you said about boundaries. For I'm the one who is always pursuing him and I'm always there when he needs me. It was only when he broke up with me last time and I told him that I had to remove him from my life (he's one of my best friends and we were friends before dating but since I'm in love with him, I just knew I couldn't go back to being just friends) that he realized he couldn't live without me and he came back to me. So it seems that I have to be the one staying away and waiting for him to come back to me? I'm so new at all this and I will call this Heart2Heart counseling you suggested. For I do not know what is going on and what to do. Thank you.

Howdy redelf and yes indeed so nice to find you to. Expo67 was a highlight for me in Montreal, I enjoyed it and went as often as I could to fill my pavillon passport up. There were so many countries with Pav's there and it took a good week or two to get through them all. The lineups were long:-) However I managed to see it all, eat foods from most countries and meet new friends.

Thanks you for the information. I did not know anything about them before so your article is very helpful as I need to diversify as I got bogged down in Hubpages for too long.

Hey, Sannel, a pool sounds really good right now. Thanks for the comments! Much appreciated!

Thank you Tolovaj and I suppose that cheating is part of the fun too. It is hardly surprising that the electronic version can be cheated just like in the olden days with the tiny pegs that I kept losing. Ah, what memories.

Tolovaj--I think there are larger above ground pool where you can swim some, but most I have seen are smaller scale. When I get filthy rich, I'll get the biggest one I can find! :-) Thanks for your comments!

I would love to have an indoor pool. . . . or come to think of it, any pool will do, lol.
I just have to keep on dreaming! Great well-researched article Victoria! Lots of helpful information. Thanks!

Ireland is one of top destinations on my to-go list. After all it is the land of great beer and leprechauns!
Thanks for introducing Connemara, it looks like a great alternative to classic tourism destinations.

Hey Tolovaj - I think your comparison with mobile phones is a very good one. I have sometimes wondered why Amazon didn't go for some kind of subscription with the Kindle. They have something similar with Audible - a few dollars a month gets you one book per month, a few more gets you two per month.

They don't have a hardware tie-in with Audible of course - but you can see how they could work that in there if they wanted.

Not long ago I have read an article about investments we can make in and around our homes to make them more attractive if we decide to put them on the market.

In-ground pool was from the point of investment on the top of no-nos. You have already written their is a lot to do to maintain it in good shape and costs are justifiable only if you do it for you and your personal feelings.

Well, when I grow up and become filthy rich (but still lazy miser), will certainly think about pool and ground version looks pretty good to me. But it looks too small... Is there bigger version, something where you can actually swim, available?

Wow, great info and great layout. Being a freelance writer sure is hard to get started. I just have to keep at it and keep looking for opportunities. Regarding revenue here, I am signed up, but where do I find my stats and earnings on that? Thanks, Katie. Another awesome article.

TYVM Tolovaj. I'll surely try.

Nope, I didn't think about women in politics. They think and act the same as their male colleges, so there is not difference.
I believe the real matriarchal societies can be found only in jungle or extremely
separated non urban areas. I remember a series of Desmond Morris about human sexes. He found about one hundred types of marriages (or similar partnerships between man and woman) with nuances about little and big decisions and there were only three where women actually controlled most of decisions like where to live, if and when having babies, how many sleeping partners (you know what I mean) can have the other partner in partnership...
But I should not stray from the subject... Go ahead with your writings, pen is still stronger than a sword:)

Learning math is very important because solid base in math will give you confidence for all natural sciences (so called hard sciences) and also support your thinking skill for understanding all other (e.g. social) sciences.

When I was working as substitute chemistry teacher I always repeated: math is your best friend, it never lies, you can always count on it, it will work the same wherever you go and we spend about half of time in class just for math (this includes logic), the rest was mostly experiments.

I agree, math for first graders should be fun and if I may add another interesting game (it is free and open source) for learning math: Tux Math.

It is easy, it is fun and it works:)
