make sure your calculator is in degree mode, not radian mode. I should have know better. But, I haven't done a trig problem in 4 years.
Yesterday, my mother went out to Bluffton, SC to wish one or my father's co-worker's wife good bye. I went along with her. After the stop to say good bye, we went to Target. They had a TI-83 for $87.00! And they had a cable for the computer for $14.99 with a coupon for a rebate of $15.00. I need to send in the rebate.
I've been playing around with the computer and the calculator. Today, I decided to finally solve the problem my sister asked me a few weeks ago. What's the distance between 3rdbase and 1st base.
Well, I know with the information gathered in baseball, I can caculate the distance. I decided to use sine and cosine to find the answer. I thought I had the answer. But when I did sine 45º and cosine 45º, I noticed it wasn't the same answer, which it should have been!
I was in radian mode, not degree mode. No wonder sine 45º and cosine 45º were not equal.
Finally, I figured out the answer and crossed checked it; it's about 127.27 feet from 3rdbase to 1st base.
Why do I seem to like trig?
Last night, I won a pizza off the radio while out. Nicki wanted the pizza, I just happened to be the lucky caller #10 for it. Then, we switched to another station. I could have won tickets to see Lenny Kravitz and Pink. The question was "This is opened every 4 seconds around the world." The clue "It's Weird." All I could think at that moment was my mother eating Spam the night before and how bad it came across to me. 
Misty, the cat that will eat anything, would not eat the Spam. Unfortunately for me, the answer was Spam but I couldn't get through the line. Oh well!
I think my site is completed for now. I completed the comment templates, and changed the update list from a link to a form earlier this morning. At this moment, I just changed back to a link because I can't get the form working! 
I have to go pick my car up at the moment so I'll work on the form later. I might use the notify list from MT to make that list. I'll see.
Oh, I just got some flowers from my mother's friend, Nancy. THANK YOU NANCY! I cried when I read the card.
Ok, now to get my car.

Hey. I am sorry about your job, and your car. Things seem to be crazy everywhere now. As you know, I just lost the love of my life. I think this world is going straight to you know where. Everything is all weird now. A bunch of my friends are breaking up and getting divorced and stuff like that. I don't understand. I will still keep in touch with you and "the sane" Latta's! LOL! Maybe me and Kenzie will come and visit...who knows what will happen. Talk to you soon. I love the new layout! I love the colors!
Love you much,
Seglenda
Thanks on the word about the new layout. As for the "love of you life," he's lucky we live down here. I think his aunt, uncle, and all four cousins would be kicking his @$$ right now.
Everything will work out. 
I just have to believe it.
