 HN>-> Yes, and Charlotte finished one day early with the afterschool math
 HN>-> catchup.  She said it makes sense now.

 GJ> I'm sure you are very happy to hear that.

Still struggling but she's for a midterm report that shows a D (73) but when I
add the numbers up, the 10 grades come to 790/10=79 (not sure if that breaks
over to a C- or not).  She says she did really well on the next test not listed
on there yet so might break over withthat one.  I'll wrte a note back to query
the average.

Doing B- to A in everything else.

 CS> Well, I never made it through Calculus.  I missed trig entirely due to
 CS> moving school systems and never did catch that up.

 GJ> I had to repeat maths a few times at high school and Uni before
 GJ> scraping through.  In my professional life I very rarely needed
 GJ> calculus.  Basic trig was useful, though.

Dunno as I ever needed it, then obviously not as I've been fine without.

 HN>I thought you had a honking big freezer there in VB? No way you could have
 HN>filled it up this quick is there? (grin)
 
 CS> It died while we were gone.  Probably just needs a shot of freon but
 CS> with a good and better energy efficient one being shipped in, it's not
 CS> worth the effort to have it fixed.

 GJ> As freezers are sealed units, they do not lose any freon unless there
 GJ> is a leak, in which case it will lose the lot.   Then a repair
 GJ> serviceman would have to find the leak and repair it before
 GJ> re-charging.  This re-charge would have to be with the modern,
 GJ> ozone-friendly freon, but as the freezer was designed for the old
 GJ> style gas it would not work very efficiently with the new stuff.  Best
 GJ> send the freezer off to be recycled, if you have such a facility there.
 GJ> There is no sense in fiddling around with it.

Yup, but they looked at it and think it may just be the compressor. If so, they
will fix it up and sell it at cost to a church or something. The fellow was 
happy enough to get it for parts and gave us back our 20$ haul away fees.
