Hello Everyone. Its Friday. Although I think at this point all the days just run together.

Major anxiety today. Took 3 Valerian Root capsules. I'm thinking that will help some.

Good morning!! My boss pulled me out of the Kindergarden room to sub for high school math! I love high school hate math!!!

Feel like crap, had a panic attack last night, I am not in control of anything and that makes life unbearable. And I have t today..

Thanks, sconnie & Jersey.....I am still feeling down today, but I'm going to try to focus on the plans I have for today. Gotta finish up some orders, run to the store, meet a friend for lunch, deliver some orders, etc.

What's really dragging me down, I'm sure, is my ambivalence about finding a full time job. I'm fearful of putting myself out there....I'm fearful of finding a job and not being able to handle working every day due to my health issues...and I'm fearful of running out of money and losing everything I have, now that unemployment is coming to a close. Being a single mom is tough, especially with health issues. I guess the fact that this migraine is still ongoing, and it's been a week, doesn't help. *sigh*

(( jersey )) - Hope the Valerian Root helps. We're here if you wanna talk.

Panic attacks are the worst. Hope your T session will help. (( HUGS ))

Morning all. My H got up early and did my Jillian Michaels exercise video, unloaded the dishwasher, made lunches for the kids, and now he's trying to salvage a pot that he let rice burn in yesterday. (As in BURN, really and truly) Not sure what alien force came and abducted my H, but I'm liking this new one pretty well. LOL.

BTW, anyone know if a metal pot with severely burned on rice that appears to be intractably attached to the pot can be salvaged? We're trying steel wool and that doesn't seem to be working.

I've tried a few approaches in the past that worked pretty well....

Soaking it in vinegar and water has helped. Or, baking soda and water.

MKAC. I like the sound of the alien that took over your H. You can try soaking ammonia in it. Don't mix the ammonia with anything else though.

MKAC - here are a couple of suggestions.

MKAC, whenever aliens abduct my H in ways like that I dont question it I just go with it lol

As far as the pot, hmm i dont know BUT i did boil an egg once on the stove and walked away while it was boiling and completely forgot about it for TWO HOURS!....ya, i didnt even try to salvage that pot lol!

I seriously love this pot. LOL. It's my one really good, really expensive pot.

MKAC, does it look anything like the one in the pic of the link stopdog sent? If it's not that bad, then there's hope! 8-)

Unfortunately, it DID look like that. LOL. It's better now, so we're making progress. I took a knife and scraped a bunch out.

Good thing for my husband it was ME distracting him from the rice, so I can't even get mad at him.

I think I read somewhere to soak it in water with a fresh dryer sheet

Save pot with dryer sheet

Yep my dad ALWAYS used to warm the pots on the stove with a little dish soap. I had to check out the link to see if his idea was on there!

Quick somebody tell me all you know about using properties of exponents!!!

example please

http://hotmath.com/hotmath_help/topi...exponents.html

You can add them.

Hankster just posted the extent of my recollection of exponents.

Oh wait, you can subtract them, too! For division, I think.

I guess they are simplifying expressions involving powers... I think it is coming back to me!! Did I mention that I hate math?

Uhhhh. exponents. Umm... Yeah. Other than you can add and subtract them, I dont' remember a thing. I did horrible in school with math. Sorry.

5 with exponent (-2) = 1/25

and 5 exponent (+2) = 25

You're so smart Lola my plan is for them to teach me their lesson... I don't think this is new to them!!

give me some math problems I want to play.... I love love love math

I'll try, but I don't think that my phone keyboard has everything I need to write out the problems!

(4exponent2)exponent3

Does that make sense??

You can use the ^ sign for exponents. (4^2)^3
