As I have the potential to be in Santa Monica after August, I actually might be. Now theboardboard has become a dating service?

Heh. He lives in Culver City, he's an old BYU friend of mine who's at UCLA now. I love Santa Monica. What brings you here (potentially)?

Vi, move to Santa Monica.

And why not? I've scored lots of hot dates through Board connections. And now that I think of it, they were all tall (5'10" to 6'2") BYU grads, understanding and less religious. Go for it.

tall guys are overrated

I loved 72404- what Owlet eats

I have an intern to hire offer in the area.

And Portia, I'm already in Washington DC for the summer so I am getting out of Provo one way or another. Santa Monica does sound beautiful though. Beaches and moderate weather are pretty ideal. Traffic and ocean-y humidity, not as much.

- hey, just skip Santa Monica, and come to San Francisco! Dirty streets, bush jumpers, the smell of pot mingled with rotten seaweed..... Yummmm- breathe deeply!!

[krebscout]

Oh hey there's plenty of pot here. Plenty.

It's not that humid. Certainly less than D.C.

Thanks for 72450, Owlet! I really enjoy Board facts like that!

[Owlet]

No problem!

Yayfulness,

Thank you. I couldn't agree more. Getting students to actually try is harder, but when they do - oh my goodness, what they learn is just so cool.

Yeah, that was a really good answer!

But what can the mother do to actually help her children learn/complete assignments? That drawback of the Common Core was not as much addressed. (I've been tutoring for two years now, so I have some ethos on this.)

This link in the comment to the question http://theboard.byu.edu/questions/72440 about renaming the calendar is fun reading.

It always warms my heart to see that I cite properly. I also reread the aBeckalypse answer, and it's not half bad, after all these years.

I don't know how anyone could confuse a quote like that as coming from Benson. That is SO not him.

I read both comments and I still don't understand. How does having benchmarks necessitate um, mathematical exploration? What are ya'll talking about?

There have been a couple of answers disparaging huge "buggy" sunglasses in the past little while...I just wanted to say they're more effective for keeping the sun out than small ones. That's all.

I said

There is a lot more to a man's life than rising up the ladder of "success," and there's a lot more to a woman's life than being able to operate a Maytag.

I find this amusing in light of Pres. Beck's spiritual successor, Pres. Dalton's controversial bit about the vacuum. Haha.
