That Moment When...

Yea, those are easy xD (I'm also a math guy, so…)

Ah! Writing's my best section…

!http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/sats/art/doughnut.jpg! That's the problem- is that the one you've seen?

Writing is not my best section :p

No, I was thinking of a different "donut" problem, but that one doesn't look too hard, coming from an analytical standpoint.

Math is my worst section…

You opposite! :P

Well… not exactly. I like to debate as much as you do :)

When you keep accidentally typing "Chr" instead of "Cor", or vice versa, in the reference test. Grr.

Oh, that is annoying :/

...when you only have 2 verses to review on Memverse today. O_o Haven't seen that in a looooong time. xP

I currently have 1151 verses to review. I don't do MV during BB season, so I still have a lot of catch up.

Have you used the Reset my Schedule button? That's helpful for when you have a pile-up like that ;)

What? Where is that?

Go to the Home page, and click the "Memverse Today" tab. It should be there :)

Thanks. I wish I had known this a few years ago… I spent a whole day catching up last year. I did about a thousand verses that day, but I've been a little lazier this year….

Oh my goodness…that would take a while ;D

I had 1900 this year to catch up on.

Wait, like the Kerestel and Alethea Leonards???

Yep, those Leonards. Specifically, the Alethea Leonard.

Okay! Wow! Why did I not know this before!?? ^though it's more likely that I did but forgot^ That's awesome! I officially met the Kerestel Leonard last month, though we've both known who each other is for quite a while now. :D

There seemed to be several of those who ended up with your camera at one point or another. xD

…When someone laughs at you for saying "these ones" and tries to explain that apparently, that's not proper English.
…When you find a link to a (FREE) ebook, well over 600 pages long, called "Documentary Life of Nathan Hale, Comprising All Available Official and Private Documents Bearing on the Life of the Patriot" xDxD

What context was this in? That doesn't sound like improper English to me. :P

I know! I'm still confused. xP Maybe that having a plural of "one" is a little strange or something. But in the context I was talking about a pile of books and said something like "these ones are something something". If that makes sense. :P

…when you think about how when your youngest sister will be 10, you will be 28… O_o

Haha…a bit frightening, isn't it? xP

That's perfectly proper English. Tell your friend that a grammarian says so! :P

When you start your Ruth Sword Study… and then are overwhelmed by severe nostalgia because it feels like you're starting up Bible Bee again…

Happened to me, too, when I started it. :( How far into it are you?

…You realize the Robin Hood was a Socialist. xD facedesk Why is he always portrayed as so good?

Early Christians were socialists… although that worked out a lot better than when other people tried it.

That's actually not true. Socialism is the equal redistribution of wealth, often by force. The Jerusalem church didn't practice Socialism: we are told that each gave as God laid it on their hearts. They aren't forced or coerced into giving, and if they desired, could give only part of their wealth (as we see by the story of Ananias and Sapphira; Acts 5:1-11). Also, these love gifts weren't redistributed so that everyone had equal wealth, it was given to each "according to their need"(Acts 2:45) Thus, (to give you a modern day example), if someone had a hospital bill, and couldn't pay for it all, the church may have helped them out and made up the balance of the bill. Also, in many Socialist countries, it is common for the government to own the means of production. In the Jerusalem church, however, the people owned the means of production, not the church (Although they could sell their businesses and give the proceeds to the Church if they wished). Does that explain a little better to you why I believe it's not correct to say that the Acts church practiced Socialism? (Sorry if I seem rude or anything. I've been preparing for a debate about Socialism v. Capitalism :P)

If that is what you mean by socialism, then I certainly agree with you. People are too corrupt to handle that kind of power. I was just thinking of socialism in the sense that they shared everything they had. It's a great idea, but it only works if it is voluntary.

Ok, just wanted to clear it up :D Thanks for being patient with me

I understand. I don't know if you know, but there's actually a section in the theology forms about Socialism.

I'm actually the one that started that :P

That would make sense.

Awesome! xD=P

Just started this week, so halfway through the first week.

Great! What do you think of it so far?

…you look up "extenuation" on dictionary.com for a school assignment, and find this:

1. The act of extenuating.
2. The state of being extenuated.
3. Something that extenuates.

Thanks for the help… xD

That is why you want to search for the lexical form of the word. ;)

Well, to be honest, I think I like the Study Guide way of doing it better. :P But it's cool to do it again after not having done the SS for 1.5 years. And I've already been learning some things!

I didn't know that you were doing the SS, too! How far are you (I'm talking to you, too, Rachel) into it? I think that I'd agree that I might like the SG better… although SS is easier :).

Yes, I was hoping to do John, but since my mom wanted to do the Sword Study and we already had the materials I thought I'd do it with the family. This week is the first week, like I said above :)

Both of you: Yes, I think the SG helped me learn how to study on my own better. x) But to me, the SS feels like it it has more order to it. I'm really enjoying doing the SS way of it again, though! xD It's hard to say which I like better, since both have great qualities. :D
Anna: I am in the 2nd week…I'm moving pretty slowly through it because I'm so busy. ;)

@Rachel: It's nice to take it at a slower pace…when we did it for Bible Bee, there was always the rush to finish it up so that we could then have time to review it and study other things.
@Matthew: Oops! I didn't take the time to read every single post since I've been gone, so I didn't see that one. That's neat that y'all are doing it as a family! :)

It's nice to have used the SG and SS. I think that it's helpful to learn a variety of study methods :).
