lol Yea, you probably should. Maybe something like ''No offense to everyone else, but only atheists need apply.'' Hey, that would be original.

CIJS,

CIJS?
With all that thing going on that you got there, I'm guessing we all agree it would be good.

CIJS - 

You have been the shining light in my darkness. I look forward to our hellos. And even though you are there and I am here, I feel so close to you. I don't trust people easily, but I find myself trusting you and telling you things that I don't feel I could tell anyone else. We have this "feel good" connection and I don't want to lose that. The intellectual stimulation I get from talking to you is something that I haven't had for years. I'm grateful for that and so much more.

I don't know where the future will take us. But I am content in knowing that at least, for right now, I have someone that I can trust and that I can be there for regardless of our locations in this world.  As long as you need my virtual shoulder to lean on, I am here. I do hope this lasts for years to come, but if it doesn't, please know that you have brought a special joy and kindness to my life - one that wasn't expected, but it sure is a grand surprise and I'm glad you're in my life. Thank you.

As a person who enjoys self-learning mathematics, the one downside to this approach is the difficulty in finding books with complete and detailed solutions manuals, especially for higher mathematics--most of these books contain limited solutions (I'm actually reading one currently).  Now, based on some web surfing that I did regarding this issue , it may be the case that the authors make the assumption that students will have other students along with professors with whom they can exchange mathematical ideas with. As a result, it makes sense not to list all of the solutions in a manual for students, as this could lead to students just regurgitating the various solutions in the manual without really developing a solid understanding of the material.    Hence, providing a partial solution manual leaves the door open for more mathematical interaction between students and instructors.  

With that said,  IMO, this is somewhat unfortunate for self-learners,  as many of them actually enjoy the material.  IMO, self learners want to gain a deeper understanding of the material that they are studying: they learn for the sake of learning and are not looking for an easy effortless experience; thus, regurgitation would be pointless .  Hence, having that extra means to work more problems and ensure that one's reasoning and answers are precise and correct would be a great aid in maximizing the self-learner's appreciation for knowledge and ideas.

I am happy. Taking things as they come...

I do like him to lead in the relationship, I find that masculine and sexy, but because it works for us, not because it's being forced on us, and he is forcing it on me.

Yep. I get that. 

I consider myself to be a modern, independent woman; feminist even. Extremely assertive. But, I'm a bit old-fashioned in some ways as well. I likes me some "take charge' in my man; I cannot help this.
So, "Oh yes, baby...I'll go along with whatever you like, if I want to." seems to work out just fine .

Kernel is adorable and he reminds me very much of Andrew from Bicentennial man. One of my favorite characters from one of my favorite movies
