You call yourself a professional? Professional what???? Anyone else care to fill in the blank...

I believe Becka is a professional ______________.

5. Halloween

You know, there are a lot of variables in that Halloween/posting element. Sure, people will be busy taking the kids around for ToT and handing out the candy corn and peeps to other kids. But every good poster should be posting photos of how adorable the kids/pumpkins/jackolanterns/haunted houses are. Then all the rest of the good posters will have to reply "Wow what a great Power Ranger/Bo Peep/Ghost/Cinderella!!!" to every single post. Really compounds the Halloween posts that way.

I didn't say Halloween would decreased the number of posts that day....I just mentioned it was a factor that needed to be calculated in....

I don't like this game. I don't think we should play.

Ah yes, but are there too many variables for Halloween ... loss of posting time, but increased sharing of photos??? How does Brandi's Halloween party affect things? What about Lisa's school carnival?

What is the best 1-way car rental option for this cruise? We will need a car on the 8th and return to the port on the 9th. I will need another 1-way rental from the port to airport on the 16th. I am looking for the cheapest deal for a family of 4. Thanks, Gregg.

 

[becka]

Well I really didn't want to do this because it will scare Angie but if you are going to grill me about my scientific methods I guess I will have to share my work.

sin(kx) = P(D)y
= P(D)(c1y1 + c2y + c3y3 + c4y4)
= c1P(D)y1 + c2P(D)y2 + c3P(D)y3 + c4P(D)y4
= 0 + 0 + c3( − k2 − 4ik + 5)y3 + c4( − k2 + 4ik + 5)y4
= c3( − k2 − 4ik + 5)(cos(kx) + isin(kx)) + c4( − k2 + 4ik + 5)(cos(kx) − isin(kx))

All of this together gives me 50,000 posts on Thursday November 2nd. You can check my math if you would like Marielle.

Note: Angie I am very sorry I had to post this. Marielle made me do it!

The girls had a good time last night at the Eid party (Ramadan). First we stopped at Boscovs, but what the heck happened to that store?!?! Sarah and Amanda were trying to find some sweaters and none fit very well. The one wouldn't even go on an arm?! Sarah likened it to one of those Chinese yo-yo things. We did find some cute capri legging with skulls all over them. Now we have to find a cute black skirt for over it and a neat top! Sound good for PN?

That sounds really cute!!!!

 

[lbgraves]

Decisions, decisions. I was looking into taking the girls to the Disney on Ice Princesses, then remembered Mickey's Magic Show. Now of course there is the High School Musical. What to do, what to do. They are all in seperate months...Nov, Dec, and Jan.

Both kids really liked that show in DC last year.

Hey look guys....Lisa is home! :

 

[lbgraves]

Angie, the kids are on their way to the airport. I just told them that they are going to get on a plane and see Mrs. Mork. They aren't so sure about that.

I'm not quoting the calculations to save others from them. I only asked all of those questions because I needed to know if the hours away from posting and the additional posts canceled each other out!!

 

[lbgraves]

BTW Lisa if you are looking for the "trouble" on the boards when you get back tonight you should probably just do a search for any posts by the 12/9 crew because I am sure you will find it that way... :

I'll search your posts after soccer practice.

It wasn't me it was Karen!
