If Mary Beth drove to work going 70 mph, and on the return trip home it took her 1/7 of an hour longer traveling at 65 mph, what is the total distance to Mary Beth's work?
I don't give a rat's behind.
My question is, why doesn't Mary Beth just quit her job, stay at home, and never have to travel any distances? This way, math illiterate students like myself won't have to suffer the agony of trying to figure out how many miles Mary Beth drives to work every day.
I HATE math.
I am going to be a History teacher for goodness sake. Why on earth would I ever need to know how to simplify or solve quadratic equations. I know the stuff I am tackling right now isn't that complicated, but it's so tedious, and I simply don't have the patience to sit here all day and read and work out math problems.
I just want to set sail already.
But before I do, I have to finish 3 chapters of this stuff so I won't have to worry about doing it while out in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico.
Unless you would like to do it for me?
Didn't think so. Good thing my math for brains brother is also coming home today, bringing his trusty graphing calculator with him, so he can (do my math problems for me) teach me how to do my own work so I can get it done.
But oh, how my mind drifts off to thoughts of sandy beaches, blue oceans, and yummy yummy wine....
Stupid Mary Beth.

I can't even tell you how much it thrills me that I do not have to math EVER in my life.
Unless I am in the Target aisle, and I have a coupon for Huggies, which are on sale, and the Huggies box has 64 diapers, but the Target brand has 85 diapers and I do not have a coupon, which diapers does Missy Beth buy to get the better deal?
At which point I break out into a cold sweat.
