hope u feel better, Toinena.If u want to know, as far as over-the-counter painkillers (without a prescriptiion) there is:
aspirin
ibuprofen (motrin, advil)
acetaminophen (tylenol)
and naproxen (aleve)
be very careful not to take more acetaminophen than directed because it can cause liver failure.
For headaches, what works best for me is excedrin (aspirin, caffeine and acetaminophen)

I just realized that these might go by totally different names in your country.

Well your lucky Linx 
, as a kid and when I went to public school the teacher got sick of me doing math problems in my head, so when I didn't show my work she would keep me in for lunch, and sometimes after school. When my parents found out, all I know is my parents did yell at her (weird but true) then that's how I became homeschooled.

No problem, Zero. I have stock up on painkillers, heartburn pills (the American diet really tortured my stomach) and band aids (why did I buy that???? I guess I will get use of them one day) when I was over there. So I have excederin. It also helps me to wake up. Oh man! How many hours left until weekend???
Exactly 48 hours actually.. at least for me since its midnight here.
Glad you have some pain meds on hand! 
I keep forgetting to buy excedrin 
I was thinking more along the colonial style... but that works too!
That cloak would be a viable alternative, in a dark grey. I'm not much for french fripperies like ruffles.
Hey Everyone,
I thought you might want to see a picture of what you've all been helping me "build."
This pair of shorts is what I call my "working protocol" -- as in, I made this as a first try and now I know what other changes I want to make, and so your calculations have been helping me plan for my next rendition.
Alongside the shorts are the two patterns I've been combining to make them. Although I need to start with a pattern, I very rarely like that patterns as they are and almost always make modifications.
Viola, I think it was you that mentioned that pattern envelopes tell you how much fabric you need on the back--this is true, but ONLY if you're following the pattern exactly, which I almost never do (this is why I asked people to SHOW me how to do the conversions, so I can do them for myself next time.)
For instance, neither short pattern has pockets, and I put pockets on both the front and the back, so I had to account for a bit more extra fabric.
Thank you all so much for your help, and I'll see you again when I start my next project.

(45 inch / 36 inch) x (36 inch / 1 yard) = 5/4
5/4 yard wide x 5/3 yard long = 25 / 12 square yards
or 2 1/12 sq yards, or 2.0833...

first, we must find out the average sized of 1 lima bean in measuring unit of ounces
let this value be L ounces
clearly we believe that the amount of ounces would be less than 2L ounces
2L = 2 time L ounces
or in short, the amount of tolerable lima bean <2L ounces
the question is, how big is a lima bean
for ease of calculation sake, let's assume that a lima bean is an inch long
and a lima bean is a quarter inch think in diameter
we need to convert this into cm, to find the cubic cm, to find the ml, to convert it into ounces

Growing up, all the Asian (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) kids excelled in that area.I think most people aren't too great at math anyway...
Do you know how many Asian people there are?
Note: I also suck at maths.
Heh heh.
Rest assured, not all Asian kids are good at math.
Even through college and my couple years of grad school, math seriously ticked me off because those were always the classes that ruined my GPA (grade point average.) Thank goodness my worst class in high school was optional and I was able to drop it because I was getting A's in everything else and a D- in physics. I honestly don't know personally know any Asians who fit the stereotype of excelling at math but I'm sure there are plenty of others out there. After all, the stereotype has to exist for a reason, lol.
Ironically, my best subjects always involved English and writing.

I'll make up a math problem
say the radius of a circle measures sqrt(7) inches
find the area of the circle in square inches
hint: there's an approximation for pi that makes the computation really easy
