Granny's gone and done it again

Granny people that don't want to do well in math are often cheated while buying groceries. When I worked in an A&P food store at the age of 16 I was smart enough to see the store ripping off people buying sugar. A 10lb bag sold for more than 2 5lb bags. 10lbs either way. I ask why that was and was told it was more for the 10lb bag for the convenience it offered. I saw a lot of poor people coming in and buying 10lb bags thinking they were saving money over buying 2 5's. I still see this happening today in a lot of places. I'm thankful for having math skills over the social science skills.
 
Dang. Physics major. I was about to take ap physics this year but only because the teacher who I wanted as my ap physics teacher is retiring this year. Otherwise, I’m kind of glad it didn’t fit in my schedule. It’s a lot to juggle two math classes. Plus…ap physics is the one ap that scares me.
Me..math..? Nope. My husband sure was good at it. Worked in Quality Control at a big Valve Co. He had to measure cracks in a valve that you couldn't see with the naked eye. Used a special machine to pick them up. They had to pass a certain teeny tiny measurement. I saw a lot of his math when I cleaned some of his note books out when he passed. Looked Greek to me! He was a smart man. It was so sad when he started losing his memory.
