Remember sweet little Winnie, Kevin's girlfriend from The Wonder Years?
And then remember how she shocked everyone with this?Well, recently she was interviewed by money lady Jean Chatsky on XM radio (Oprah and Fri
ends). She is apparently a math genius and has written a book geared toward stopping young girls from coming down with the "math phobia" that plagues so many of us she people.In the interview, Winnie, I mean, Danica, was incredibly poised, charming, and oh so smart! Riley is developing a bit of a math phobia, so I'm off to the book store to by me a copy of Math Doesn't Suck. Yeah, that's it, for Riley.
*BTW....AT & T has the most awful customer service. There was clicking and static on our phone line, took them over a week to get out to "fix" it. They were there when we left town for the funeral on Saturday, said they could "fix" it from outside. We returned from NY on Tuesday, and not only was the line not fixed, they screwed up our internet service and now they might come anywhere between two days ago, and the 11th. We look forward to changing providers when we move into the house we are buying next month. Anyhoo....publishing comments and posting will be touch and go til' they "fix" it. I'm at the library right now, nursing my addiction. HT wondered why no one commented on his little note. Darling....you didn't turn on the comments!

Well I don't care coz I use google reader now - I'm almost a convert.
Thanks for the blast from the past. do you know what age it's designed for?
Cheers
This is my calling card or link"Whittereronautism"until blogger comments get themselves sorted out.
And I so wanted to comment on HT's sweet entry the other day. He's a gem. :) We miss you, Michelle!
I can tell you similar stories of AT&T...no clue whatsoever.
Winnie - God I loved that show and her. Had no idea where she went. I used to work for a Physics Lab and they had a special program for local grade school girls and math to avoid phobias and to promote careers for females in science. It was great and successful.
I think I saw her talking about her book on The View, or Oprah, or somewhere. How cool is THAT? I love it. I suck so hard at math, but some of it may be that I was so afraid of it, and just gave up! Tell us how it is, after you read it?
:)
Are you dissin' my cable company???
My life support??????
I missed you! Glad you're back. Miss M has the math phobia, too.
I'm so on it.
Thanks for the tip!
HT, so funny, I wondered if he left the comment link off b/c he wasn't going to be able to comment for you? Anyway-for me,math does suck, calculators are cool and way better at the stuff than me. I'd like to know how to get a firm little tummy like that though. Oh how I disgrace us all eh?
Oh, all the Fr*AKen phone companies suck worse than math, if possible.
