Your denial that you resemble later portraits of Dame Agatha, of course.
Oh I see! Okay here you go. I deny resembling later portraits (or any portraits) of Dame Agatha.
So you say.
Brilliant woman. If only you were capable of appreciating it.
I didn't say she wasn't brilliant, Christiecrite. I said that you resemble her at that stage in her life. Not intellectually, though.
Sorry, I am not at that stage at life and even when I am, I won't resemble her. Because we're two different types.

A student might take an aptitude test suggesting that they are good with numbers and data. Such results might imply that a career as an accountant, banker or stockbroker would be a good choice for that particular student. But, they might instead use that aptitude to be a gambler, a bookie or a math teacher.
Someone else might be a whiz kid with physics. Instead of a career at NASA or teaching at a university they might aspire to something else like a sea captain or even a pro poker player (Einstein loved playing poker).
Still some others like myself excelled in and enjoyed chemistry in school. Those natural aptitudes don't mean that a career in medicine and science are the careers of choice. I always loved "mixing" things...I worked as a bartender for 25 years. Someone else might rather become a chef with an aptitude for chemistry.
She was a genius. I once read about some famous geniuses who had certain disorders along with their brilliance. Turns out Christie had dyslexia.
"It is about a difference in perception," explains Gloria Davis, a California-based teacher of dyslexics (those who have a difficulty in reading or using language). "A lot of geniuses are dyslexics who solve problems through visual imagery and have problem communicating their ideas in conventional terms."
Einstein couldn't speak until he was 3 or tie his shoelaces properly until he was 13!
I didn't know that about the dyslexia, very interesting. If you ever have the time or interest, read her autobiography. It's wonderful.
Show me where science says this

The proportion of male to female engineers in the USA proves that women do not choose this field as often as men. Unless woman are beaten if they choose this major. I am not saying that women can not do this but because of our freedoms that they choose other things, and they have the right to do this. Men and women while equal under the law, are not identical, nor should they be.
Ditto. Hard to imagine living that long out there on the ocean. Glad they were saved.
I have......it was a lonnnng time ago, but have always loved her works.
No shit. What a stupid thread. I've found having great and correct tools mean everything. Any average person with the right tools can be a journeyman craftsman and be competent. The right tool, willingness to read and patience. Dicks don't matter.
Some of these dummies are looking strictly at gender rather the the desire to learn something new and master various skills. It's really satisfying to figure out how to make or fix stuff.
Awesomesauce. My youngest daughter is a math genius, and has a masters degree in early childhood/special ed. She decided in 2nd grade that that is what she wanted to do. She had learning disabilities and was in special ed classes herself. When she was in high school she told me "Mom, I have this brain thing. It's called this* and I never knew till now that I was the only one who doesn't see numbers and letters in color." She has color-grapheme synesthesia. She could do relatively complex arithmetic problems in her head when she was only 3 because she saw them in color and how they related to each other, but alphabetic letters were only black and white so had no meaning to her when she was learning to read. She can still see letters/numbers this way, but has learned to visualize them as the rest of us non-synthetes see them.
