In tonightโ€™s broadcast weโ€™ve seen this happening a lot! @TMacPhils @JohnKruk @Phillies @TarynNBCS
So home plate umpire Rob Drake has a physical tick that literally causes his eyes to look up? I donโ€™t believe that would ever impede his ability to officiate a ballgame.

.@rally_health Since Jan 1 l've been trying to get my One Pass benefit. Your website claims my info can't be verified. I've been unsuccessful calling (still on hold after 75 min). My gym participates in the program but also couldn't use the web interface you gave them. HELP! @IBX

Thank you @DynamicsSIAM for sharing this. This elective is perfect for young, math-interested students. It complements a traditional math program beautifully, utilizing students' existing skills while challenging them to seek patterns, think creatively, articulate clearly.

It's more fun figuring this out together and sharing our resources. Maybe we'll find more new connections to add to our network of collaborators!

Well, Joshua, the NCTM Board has been silent. I guess thatโ€™s our answer. Sigh. As you commented, โ€œThe Ask Dr Math archives in the wayback machine are great for browsing but of course the search function won't work anymore since there's no engine behind it :(โ€œ @kdykema @drjeffshih

So sad to hear about Lee Stiff's passing. We were totally psyched when @SuMACzanne persuaded him to do an #Ignite at #NCTMAnnual @NCTM in San Fran in 2016. Five minutes of energy and passion! youtube.com/watch?v=RRsv_rwZโ€ฆ

Each year (since 2000 when we moved to PA) Iโ€™ve wished for SNOW on my birthday (& yes, other days all winter long, too! LOL) It started snowing this afternoon & we have ~2โ€ so far but itโ€™s supposed to snow all day tomorrow & more Tuesday morning (my birthday)! HAPPINESS! ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿป ๐ŸŽ‰ ๐ŸŽ‚

. @RepPeteAguilar @marygayscanlon @SpeakerPelosi @JoeBiden What does Louis DeJoy say about the PAEA which compels the USPS to pay in advance for health & retirement benefits of all of its employees for at least 50 years? Might that be worth a conversation? @Durant100 #SaveTheUSPS
6) Frustrated I realized I should not be communicating with @DHLUS but instead with the company we had ordered from. SUCCESS. Our 2nd box was delivered Friday 6/19. Lesson learned. Beware of @DHLUS and @DHLUSHelp. @Durant100
5) Laurent emailed me a phone #/extension # to use to begin a โ€œresearchโ€ inquiry to locate our 2nd box. Soon a week had passed and Iโ€™d talked to Lillian, Mary, unidentified woman, Will, and Teresa. 2 of the 5 HUNG UP on me mid-conversation! So rude. @DHLUS

4) On 6/12 Laurent emailed that we should expect delivery on Monday 6/15 BUT Saturday 6/13 I received a text and an email and amazingly @DHLUS truck pulled up. One of our 2 boxes was delivered. Disturbingly the driver said that was it. Uh-oh, where was our second box?
3) I attempted to explain to Laurent that we would have patiently waited if our shipment had been delayed (civil unrest & pandemic affecting Philly were Laurentโ€™s excuses) BUT why for 2 days in a row did we receive alerts led us to expect delivery?
2) On 6/11 history repeated itself. Again I received a text message & an email alerting me that our shipment would arrive โ€œby the end of the day.โ€ Nope. On 6/12 we decided to phone @DHLUSHelp. We talked to Daniel who said he would note our complaint. I received email from Laurent
1) Have a choice of using @DHLUS or another delivery company? Our recent experience w/ @DHLUS might help you decide! Our frustrating experience started 6/10 when a text message & an email alerted me that our shipment would arrive โ€œby the end of the day.โ€ Nope-No shipment that day
