    I know a few blonds that can kick a lot of butt when it comes to math.

    Pyroholic, thanks, I did my "facepalm" and tried to correct it, but couldn't make it happen.
    These days, a specific consonant isn't that big-a-deal to me.
    Thanks All!- for the input.... we'll get this rectified before you know it. Thanks again. JB

    Scotty-O,.....
    She is.
    My wife even approves, the girl fit's the original parameters quite nicely. She just sucks at math.

    Well I always got a kick out of some of the methods used to teach math, she was likely a victim of the new fuzzy math method one of which they tried pushing when my youngest was in school about the same time as the lass we are discussing.

    Mom said not on my watch and made sure that youngest learned how to multiply, divide, add, and subtract all manner of numbers.

    One of the newer methods is the group think method, where if the group says it is so, it is so. That is how 2 + 2 becomes 5.

    Good luck.
