I Love Stitchers

I love Stitches so much that next month I am going to purchase Volume One of Stitches and Volume  Two a month after that. I do not have  debit and/or credit cards but I do go to the store and purchase a $25 iTune gift card once a month.I am on a budget.

Note: None of the gift cards iTunes or otherwise on the unsecured racks are activated. They must be activated at the cash register.So if you drop a few accidently on the floor while trying to get your  iTune card(s) don't worry about it.They're nothing but cardboard .They don't even have bugs that set off the store's alarm installed in them.

Of course there may be some idiots that will try to steal a handfull of those unknownst to them unactivated gift cards. The store will
even let them leave with them and probably report it to iTunes.

So when this person or persons try to enter an unactivated code into the computer it won't work, also iTunes now knows were they are exactly located. IDIOTS !   Duh! Oh that's where you are ! --lol

Not only that but they would not be allowed in that store again, not just the store they have in  their town, but all of them. Stealing is still stealing. Their name(s)  along with their picture is/are now in their database in all their branches.

Now why am I going to download Stitchers next month and the month after that? Well, this month I am planning to download Victoria Justice's new movie 'The Outcasts' . However I will still have some money left; I can at least download   some of the Stitchers episodes for $2.99 each just to get started.

         Stitchers Volume I  $19.99
         Stitchers Volume II $19.99
'The Outcasts' starring Victoria Justice $14.99

In the meantime I can have Stitchers fix on the Freeform website

Direct And indirect Variations

                                Intruduction:
Oh no not more math ? ! Why do I sometimes write  blogs about math? Sometimes parents need help with their kids' homework especially math (if they already don't know how). Math was one of my favorite subjects in school. 

 A direct variation in math is when if one thing increases then another thing increases as well. For example the more you buy the more you have to pay. It also applies to decreases. The less you buy the less you have to pay.

For example three apples cost you a dollar. How much would six apples cost? Yes, I know you already know the answer but let's do
the math anyway.

                                3            1
                               ----   =   ----
                                6            X

                   Now let's cross multiply: 
                                3X=6
                                  X=2
So if three apples cost one dollar then six apples cost two dollars.
      
Now on to the indirect variations where one thing increases while another decreases. For example when driving in a car the faster you go (increase)  the less time (decrease)  it would take you to get to your destination.

Let's say you are driving at 30 miles per hour and it took 8 hours to get to your destination. How long would it take  if you were driving  at 60 miles per hour ? Yes, I know you already know the answer, but again let's do the math anyway.
                              30       8
                             ----  = ----
                              60      X    

Hold it ! If we figure this equation as it stands now, we will get the  wrong answer of 16 . Remember this time it is an indirect variation in this case we have to invert one side doesn't matter which one. Let's invert the right side changing 8/X into X/8.

                             30      X
                            ----  = ---- 
                             60       8

              Now let's cross multiply: 
                 (30)(8) = 60(X)

            then divide by 60 on both sides.

                  (30)(8) 
                   -------  =   X
                    (60)

      30/60 can be reduce to 1/2 and 1/2 of 8 is 4 which is now the correct answer. So there we have it in this indirect variation. If it took 8 hours to get to your destination driving at 30 MPH  then it would take you 4 hours driving at  60 MPH
