My chemistry lab was in a depressing room in the hospital basement reminiscent of the old Frankenstein movies and all I got OUT of Chemistry was the desire to be OUT...he, he. What a difference a few years make. Good for you, Mary.
I liked math, Barbara. Have any of you ever heard of "casting out 9's" as a way of double checking if a column of addition was correct? Now, THAT should date me!...yet I still use it today. I worry about my grandchildren who were taught to just use the calculator. What happens if you're testing and the battery dies?

You "kiddies" are the ages of my children...47, 49, 51, 53!
