really? and regardless of the mathematical function, algebra is just a combination of those functions (addition/subtraction/multiplication/division) to solve for a variable. if i'd have written the equation "15/x=3. solve for x" would it look more like algebra to you then?

no, i understood you, completely. when i was recovering from my stroke, part of the therapy was speech therapy. some of speech therapy was learning to swallow/eat again. i wasn't allowed to have certain consistencies of foods. one day i was feeling confident and asked my wife for a slurpie. go get me a slurpy, pleeezzze. she said no that i wasn't allowed. well, one of the nurses (a cute one as it turns out, and one that my wife identified as "a chick i had my eye on") heard me begging for a slurpie and ran across the street and got me one. well needless to say, i didn't choke to death on it and it MADE MY DAY. so i get it.

I think it just goes back to him telling me what I could and couldnt do again.

my wife/nursing school. and you know what. once she was accepted, and i congradulated her on the accomplishment, she decided not to attend. i even offered to help pay for it. you're not a basket case. you want to accomplish something. that's the reason i suggested the community ed class for starters.
