Never heard a jasmine referred to as a belly flower before. Do you happen to know why?

I grow a star jasmine and it is quite fragrant.

[JoelHinrichs]

Microflora are belly flowers in the vernacular because you have to get down that low to see them. From there, the idea of an odor seemed unlikely - nothing more than that,

teacher about the similarities in thinking skills needed for learning and using math and language? How could the structural understanding of language help the verbally gifted, mathematically challenged student start to employ their deep grasp of language forms to understand the “grammar” and production of mathetmatical structures and concepts?

One English teacher wrote on a paper I’d turned in “punctuation is not algebra”.

you tell them you feel the Holy Spirit putting it on your heart to instead go mushroom foraging.

I once joked that I felt the Holy Spirit was leading me to go camping and skinny-dipping.

God got the last laugh: while enjoying nature in the raw that state led to sharing the Gospel with a college guy who’d never heard of Christians going skinny-dipping.
When I told friends about this I got nicknamed “Apostle to the Skinny-Dippers”.

The student is expected to integrate experiential insights to deepen understanding of nothing in particular, and further appreciate the relative significance of nothing.

Easily done; just visit the area around Des Moines, Iowa.

I particularly like the one section asking how the Huns felt about imaginary numbers and binomials.

I saw that and thought, “There’s a science fiction story here somewhere”.

Advanced Hun Math?

Hun + Hun = ?

I guess it’s a real thing.
