So I get 2 of these emails earlier today, one for Math and one for Biology:



I notice the email address is from the UK, so I say I can't do it since I live in the US. Finished, right?

Later, I get this email:





This has to be some sort of spam, right?

🤣 or they're trying to get you into the dark world of sex trafficking and you'll need Liam Nieson to go balls out to rescue you.

I don't know anybody like that.

It just seems weird that (1) I said no, but she understood it as yes (2) they are relocating from England (3) spam people on Craigslist ALWAYS work in real estate and construction management but in Africa (4) they don't want me to meet at a public place

....hmmm.....

ask to meet in a public place, you never tutor in a private place, at least not the first time anyway

 

[BlueElmo]

I immediately regret my question?

So what's new, people?

Hanging in there?

I don't think Spurs can hang onto beat Dirk though.

 

[JJMrK]

Heath Bell is on my fantasy team but I don't care. That was great.

 

[metallica81788]

So I'm really not sure how to respond to that whole email thing. I guess I just won't do anything and see what happens.

 

[dingyibvs]

I think it's better to just tell them to meet you at a public place near your home. If it's a scam they won't respond. Did the email address seem legit?

Good call. I'd definitely hold off on it. Unless they keep persisting and seem even fishier. Then switch that crap around on them and ask for a $1000 downpayment to, "ensure that they are serious about her education."

 

[metallica81788]

The address is @yahoo.co.uk

I wonder how they found my email because I am on a list for LSU private tutors. But then again, someone from a different LSU found my name and asked for an Immunology tutor when I can't do that.

 

[FloatOn]

i've heard that one too! love it.


though my all time favorite non-math joke is...

what's brown and sticky?

A STICK!

i also like: what's green and has wheels?

grass. i lied about the wheels.

That's my favorite joke OF ALL TIME!

I don't know anybody like that.

Sounds sketch for all of your above reasons.

*bats eyelashes some more*

My girl-using-me-sense is tingling!

And oh god biochem - I took that back in undergrad - like 7 years ago. I rocked it... but I don't remember ANYTHING. So redoing all that material in med school should be interesting. I'll probably be like "iso-frucsomething that sounds familiar!"

 

[Sentinel]

That's my favorite joke OF ALL TIME!

Hey hey, stick joke - I'm really happy for you and all. And I'ma let you finish.

But "why's 6 afraid of 7, because seven, eight(ate), nine" is the best math joke ...

of all time.

/shrug shoulders, walk off stage

Man float if you are going to do it - do it right my man!

OK, here's a joke for those of you who are bored:

So Yoda, ksmi, and I died and went to heaven. We were led to a long hallway with many doors. As we walked along the hallway, I found a door with my name on it, so I entered. In there sat a ugly biatch, maybe 80lbs, 3-4 teeth still remain, sores all over, and a deep voice boomed from above: dingyibvs, you've sinned your whole life, and you are sentenced to spend an eternity with this woman.

Damn.

Yoda and ksmi kept on walking, and eventually Yoda found a door with his name on it and entered. In there sat another ugly biatch, at least 300 lbs, pimples all over her body, and grease covered her hands and face as she munches on a goat. A deep voice boomed from above: Yoda, you've sinned your whole life, you are sentenced in afterlife to spend an eternity with this woman.

Ksmi is now getting a bit scared, and walked carefully until she found her door. To her surprise, inside sat Pierce Brosnan, perfectly tanned, and working out as sweat covered his well-toned body. Ksmi was overjoyed! Then a deep voice boomed from above:

Pierce Brosnan, you've sinned your whole life....

😛

I had to go back and look up this "insult" dingy threw at ksmi. All I've got to say is...

damn

Sorry ksmi 🙂

[Mind you, this is coming from the guy who's nephew (~4 years old) always smiled when he saw my face. His mom asked him why he did that, and he said because my face looks funny. She clarified if he meant because I smiled all the time so my face looked happy - and he said "no, because it just looks weird and funny". So I got told by a 4 year old.]

So don't hate me ksmi 😀

Yes. For sure scam. Just stay away

Basically the next step is they send you a check for some absurd amount (like $3000) and then ask you to buy them stuff or send them stuff (like, buy me this and mail it to this address or send me a check for $1000). And then your bank will notify you that the check was actually fake and you'll be out however much money you sent to the scammer

 

[FloatOn]

I got this email a couple of years ago through my school account that I had a very wealthy, but distant relative die and I was the only one who could collect the inheritance...in South Africa.

So an infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The bartender asks the first mathematician what he'll have.

"I'll have a pint," the mathematician responds.

"And you?" the bartender asks the second mathematician.

"Half a pint."

The mathematicians continue to order.

"Quarter pint."

"Eighth pint."

"Sixteenth pint."

"Let me stop you right there," the bartender says and pours two pints.

hahaha smart bartender. What was that? Taylor series solution or something? Gah, I can't remember the terms anymore... but I know what the outcomes are! 🙂

Random aside - need to get from NYC to Philly and back. What do you guys recommend - bolt bus or mega bus?

My paper is finalized. Now I can chill for a whole week (as far as school is concerned).

My orientation schedule is up. My classmates and I get to bond for an entire week starting at 9 am. I gotta start waking up early sooner or later.

 

[metallica81788]

I need to go to sleep soon.

 

[JJMrK]

Met you should follow through just to mess with them. (Obviously don't give them any money.)

 

[TooMuchResearch]

But if you go to sleep, the bored insomniacs will have no one! No one!

I think it's hilarious when people at the gym are wearing gloves and a lifting belt to do shoulder shrugs and curls.

I get a kick out of the ladies that wear gloves while using the 5 lb plastic dumbbells : )

My roommate ate most of the pizza we got over the weekend so I'm eating all of the strawberries now.

There's a thought.

My roommate ate most of the pizza we got over the weekend so I'm eating all of the strawberries now.

Sounds good.

 

[FloatOn]

...I didn't know she was going to finish the pizza. I hope she didn't want any strawberries.

 

[metallica81788]

They seem to be very inquisitive about my rate.

I should tell them I charge 500 Deutsche marks and 3 quail eggs per hour - no compromises or exchange rates.

Just depends how much weight you're doing... I use gloves during all upper body exercise b/c otherwise my hands just get thrashed by the texture of the bar/dumbbells. I don't usually use straps for most barbell exercises under 3 plates but generally use them over that, I find it funny when people use straps for 135, but whatevs. I don't think a belt is particularly useful for shrugs, I don't even use it for squat/deadlift anymore.

 

[metallica81788]

Now I'm going to sleep. I will leave you all with a token of my affection.

 

[FloatOn]

Throw in a pet monkey and that sounds good to me.

Wait, I was going to ask you if you know what a suspended D2 chord is.

I don't think a belt would ever be useful for shrugs or biceps exercises. I tend not to use any "accessories" unless doing weighted pullups or dips.

those things always seem scary to me. i'm always afraid that i'd land with my legs bent and the weight right between my legs....

i put a tutoring ad on craigslist a while back and got those all the time. actually, they were even funnier. let me go search for one.

and waiting to read from you soon.
MR DANNY............. ............."

i usually replied to these by saying that we'd need to meet in a public place and that i take cash only. that shuts people up. eventually i go so many of them that i wrote back this crazy email that was like "honestly. what are you expecting? you think i'll give you my bank account number so you can steal everything? you think i'll let a stranger into my apartment? you can't even type"

Yes. For sure scam. Just stay away

weird. that's a pretty lame scam. who would fall for that?

Random aside - need to get from NYC to Philly and back. What do you guys recommend - bolt bus or mega bus?

bolt sells out quicker. mega's wireless is more reliable and you have the option of sitting at a little table with your compy. i would go mega.

 

[jla314]

wait, are you leaning duke? i thought you were HST fo sho

i'm still deciding, but leaning HST :/

it's too bad you don't need to go NYC to Boston. the Fung Wah bus is like an adventure
