( That's why I suggested such thing ... But don't worry, I am careful now ... I just bite my skin until I reach the under-skin layer ... and, even if I can only feel by 70% (roughly, as what the doctors have told me), it still hurts at some point

( let's make a nail-biter competition ! the one with the shortest nails, or the bloodiest nails wins !!!!!

Here is a picture of my nails ... just taken it with the digital camera ... the flash was a bit too strong, sorry ... anyway, that gives you an idea

( I am not a smoker and neither is my wife ... hardly anybody smokes in my family so it is difficult to understand such a situation ... but I am sure it must be tough.

( I already have Intense Physical Exercice ... but I still bite my nails And I am not particularly stressed ... my problem is : often, my nails are not enough so I start biting the skin around it ... When I was 10, I had a serious accident on my wrist and I could not feel anything in my fingers (even now, my perception on my fingers is about 70% of what it should be) and I bit my fingers so deeply that I reached the muscles ... and the surgeon had to operate me again ...

( I am biting my nails, my father is biting his nails, my grand-father is biting his nails and my late great-grand-father was biting his nails ... Can't this be some kind of hereditary habit ? :drug: I wonder if my kids will bite their nails ...

( If you need any help, I will do the best I can ... just ask.

Don't you fancy being a professional fisherman?

I was quite shy when I was in High School ... so my main problem was participation ... that was really tough for me to utter any word in class I guess I have changed a lot now because I speak in front of a class

Welcome lil' bro ...

Happy Birthday from Frankreich !

I am French and I teach English in High School (students from 16 years old to 20) ... but I love grammar in general (English and French in particular and Quenya whenever I can ...) Then, I have a degree in Maths ... and I studied biology for 2 years in university (but didn't like it so I quitted ...) ... I can't remember much of my biology classes now though

well, Le Maghreb is a different region. It englobes Algeria (except Berbers), Morocco, Tunisia and to some extent the North or Mauritania and some of Lybia.

Well, not really ... I just wanted those who answer to be a little confused ... you always have (x-4)(x+4) in class ... just wanted to make it a little different

no sorry, that is not right ... start again ...

sorry again, I just wanted you to use the property (a-(a+ ... but I mixed things ... and I wrote 2 digits ... I wanted to write actually : (4-x)(x+4) = ???

Algir ... do you mean the town Alger (Algiers in English) ? do you mean the country l'Algérie ... ? Therefore, if you want to say : Algeria is in the North of Africa, use L'Algérie est au nord de l'Afrique. and if you want to say : Algiers is in the North of Africa, use Alger est au nord de l'Afrique. Then, you may say : Algeria is in North-Africa, so use L'Algérie est en Afrique du nord.

Aye, sorry ... I thought most of you guys were in College, University or at least last year High School ... the answer was 1/x Anyway, a simpler one : (4-9)x(9+4) = ?????

Hey, hope you will drop by quite often ... we will miss foruming with you !

Hang on guys, I read this morning that it may be a "Kuyper Object" that come from the "Kuyper Cloud" (obviously) ... and may be one of those gigantic asteroids (as I said yesterday) ... there is no evidence at all that it may be a planet ... just a new object found by Hubble ... My opinion is this : for months now, Hubble is challenged by the European VLT and maybe they want to show that it is still useful

cos²x + sin²x = 1 mine now f'(ln x) = ??????

Great discussions ... A wonderful community Two excellent games-to-be ... 0AD & TLA

Well, for the moment, I am correcting those bloody papers ... Apart from that, I am reading a very nice essay about the origins of Tolkien's Legendarium ... nto much else for the moment, except my 3D models.

Sedna is a mythological goddess too ... but not from Latin Mythology ... I think it is Egyptian. She is the Goddess of the Abysmal Depths ... or something like that But hang on guys ... NASA thinks it is a planet ... it is only 1,000 miles wide. It could be a gigantic asteroid.

There you go !
