I have been introduced to several new plants/flowers in my new yard this last year. There has been something new in each season. I love it! You never know what might be growing underneith the soil. This is my lastest "find". I haven't yet tried to id it. Anyone know what it is? A kind of lily?

That is very beautiful! I use to work landscape maintenance, and I saw a lot of those, but with different variations of color and shape.
I can tell you it is a variety of day lilly, but what kind I wouldn't now, there are so many different kinds.

Hey Ron! How are things? So now that the Chargers are in LA, are you still broadcasting with them?

Edit: Have you had a chance to interview any of the team doctors?

She's a pretty excellent candidate for marriage already -- 16 is legal in Pennsylvania!
True. Apparently true in Texas as well, for emancipated minors.

Would you ever consider sending her to a Charter Academy? My little boy has a friend whom we have invited over, and somehow he has gotten his little head filled with all kinds of left-wing propaganda. The kid challenged me on why I would vote for Trump. He has become a fan of Trevor Noah. He has apparently butted heads with my older son quite a bit. I wouldn't want to send my little boy to a public school anywhere in Texas. I would rather send him to a Christian school, if I could do so without risking them requiring us to remove him during the school year if I were to marry a second wife. I will be monitoring the situation, when it comes to what they are teaching him. Charter schools appear to be a popular choice around here for Christians who don't want to pay private school tuition.
 
It's legal here too - yet you offered me your mother instead, who's not even available yet. Now I just feel insulted. :rolleyes:

But I said I was going to stop replying on that other thread...
I think when we are talking about legality, it would only be legal for an unmarried man to legally marry her.
 
You're hitting the point where I'd have to break out a calculator (or rather a maths computer program), I have no idea how to begin working that out on paper.
Naw, for something like that you need a quantum abacus.

And I will never get used to people saying "maths" like its a plural.

All you really need, is to know the pattern of how many zeros are at the end of any factorial. That's my last clue, before I give away the answer.

When I go for an extended period of time without mowing the back yard, it starts looking like a botanical garden. We don't get bluebonnets in our yard, though lots of people in our neighborhood do, but we do get these blue flowers and pinkish-purple (I think it is lilac) flowers. Some of them are troublesome, because they get in our garden, and the vines wrap themselves around our tomato and grape plants.

That actually sounds like "Vinca" it is a vining flower that can be very aggravating.Vinca-minor-blooming-big-577d479d3df78cb62c7c6336.jpgLilac is a bush, and is one of my favorite flowers. When they are in bloom they make the whole yard smell heavenly!1452851956890.jpeg

Hmmm, the Blue one looks somewhat similar to what I see, but the other one isn't. I'll have to snap a picture and upload it.

Spider lily?

It is a plural. It's short for mathematics, note the 's' at the end, mathematics is a plural word (although it is no longer treated as such grammatically). Mathematics is a plural because it collectively refers to all the different individual branches of mathematics - algebra, arithmetic, geometry etc - which are all singular words. But their collective term, mathematics, is plural. Older writings, written closer to the introduction of the word, treat it as a plural word. So the correct abbreviated form of it is "maths", also plural.

Technically, as long as you don't apply for a marriage license, you'd still be legal at 16 . . .

And if you ever meet Holly Hannah you will discover that there isn't a public school system in America that could turn her into a conformist. She's looking forward to being done, done, done with compulsory education, but she'll be fine in a public school. I've called every single school system in every single municipality we've been considering, though, just to ensure that they're not implementing anything along the lines of Black Lives Matter curriculum. I'm still waiting, but not holding my breath, to hear back from someone with the title of Director of Student Equity from the Fort Worth ISD. Guess we won't be moving to Fort Worth proper after all!

Reminds me of my own time in public school. Going through human evolution in biology class while taking my own "alternative textbook" that was far more detailed than the official one, showed precisely how few bones they'd actually discovered of each of the ape-men we were being taught about and pulled the whole evolutionary house of cards to shreds. Debates with sex-ed teachers. And the day they banned knives at school was the day I started carrying one every day for the remaining years of my schooling, just because it was a stupid rule...

It is good for a few strong-willed children who are sure of their faith to be in public school. It is an opportunity to witness to others, if you can withstand the onslaught of evil. I don't have that biology textbook any more because one of my classmates tracked me down years later wanting to borrow it, so I gave it to him. There's a time and a place for everything.
