This subject has never been an issue in my household. My mom is a Nurse and we had open talks about this sort of stuff at a pretty early age. I imagine she also had talks with my older brother as well. I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for 2 and a half years now and my parents know that I am using all the safest measures I can with my boyfriend. We do not treat sex as something bad in my home. It is something that is natural.

So spring has essentially started here in NYC, bulbs (tulips, daffodils, crocus) popping up everywhere, leaves actually coming out of trees in effing February!, and flowers, and now it's been snowing on and off for a day. If everything green gets frozen, calendar spring may not be so lovely.

I think you'll find most of those trees, and plants are resilient enough to survive a few cold days, and a bit of snow. That sort of thing happens here all the time where we get a late snowfall after spring has started.

The Hyacynth flowers next door are visible and smell so delicious when bloomed. I need that to happen.

Said Feynman, a notoriously great teacher.
But Paul Dirac, who OBVIOUSLY knew his stuff too, was notoriously bad. John Nash was also a bad teacher (he had no patience). Oppenheimer was a so-so teacher but a great mentor, meaning he had a hard time explaining things but was great at pushing people to do their best.

Side note: I wonder how many people have been driven away from any given subject (art, science, philosophy) by a bad teacher. It is one of the tragedies in the life of a person.

^ They are all clearly crashing into each other, resulting in thousands upon thousands of deaths... yet we hear nothing about these accidents.
Obviously a huge cover-up conspiracy!! :freaking:
