This is something i am in the process of learning...and..a journey I am enjoying immensely. I sometimes get wrapped up in my own pain that i lose sight of the TRUTH. And this is ONE of them!!!



Sometimes...we just need a little nudge..to look UPWARD...and for a brief moment...give thanks..for all the things...we have that we were given, without even asking for.

Currently I am learning the more people tell me that I "can't trust God" is exactly when I need to throw all I have into Him.

Sigh... Countdown is on for when I am back in Europe. This season has been an extra tough one!

Yummy food, here I come! :p

Lol... I'm not worried about safety! Ah, this makes me laugh! I feel safer there than I do here. But it's all what you are used to... There's no place like home!

I will be heading to a couple places before back to NL. Try to enjoy some nice weather before home.

Today I learned what a DUNS number is. I also learned how hard it is to type when you're shaking something up and down in your other hand.

I learned that there are people in this town who will fill up their underwear with brown and leave it in the corner of a restaurant bathroom. I could have done without that information but I got it anyway so I'm passing it along to you.

Schmores Girl Scout cookies are slammin' delicious!

No joke; go get some . . . and some 2% milk.

Today I learnt what inside a pig's heart looks like during Biology class...I would like to show pictures, but I don't know if I am allowed to show such graphic images here.

And so what we have learned applies to our lives today, God has a lot to say in His book!!

You see we know that God's word is for everyone, now that our song is done we'll take a look!!

I'd love to see the microvalve. Hubby got one from a pig, so I am a bit curious what it looks like.

Pretty cool too. Had he gotten the same valve from a human or a mechanical valve, he's have to be on anti-rejection drugs for the rest of his life. Pig? Works perfectly, so no need for anti-rejection drugs.

I learned that there is a blank coat of arms at Westpoint. It is blank because it stands for Benedict Arnold, the man without a country.

I learned that I should set myself a rule that I should spend the extra money to go out to eat when I'm craving unhealthy foods rather than going grocery shopping and buying several meals worth of said unhealthy food. I also learned that even when it's good and satisfies that craving, it's not as wonderful as you imagined it would be.

I learned to dislike the program "R". Intensely. Stupid program. User-friendly as a rabid cactus.

i love R

SAS, i do not love. R, i love.

R does exactly what i want it to do, exactly as i want it to be done -- so long as i do the math and the coding correctly. i think its interface and usability is very user-friendly, but SAS i find confusing, unintuitive and very limited.

SAS only does what it wants to do, and i have to ask SAS in just the right way for it to be done. if i have a distribution that isn't standard, i can't use the statistics SAS gives me, and i can't customize display or output. i can't customize sampling in SAS like i can in R, and i can't easily create algorithmic analysis of large banks of data. R will do any kind of statistical analysis i want, in exactly the way i want it to, and return exactly what i want it to return.

R is also free, and SAS is exorbitantly expensive.

Outstanding. PM me your email address and I'll send along my Statistics homework and you can fire up R and/or R Studio and go ahead and knock it out for me. Thanks.
