Howdy, pleased to meet you. 57 here, haven't known about this stuff for long, well not the label, alway thought something was a little different. You nailed my one reaccuring nightmare, school. I don't spell so hot, hate spell check and move letters all over the place. But no one yells at me in here for doing it, refreshing. Did a little stink in the Army wasn't a happy time, but somehow got through it. I talk to much too. So anyway, welcome home. 
Hi, postpaleo,
Love your avatar!
I'm good with writing, but am so bad at math that I think I have dyscalculia to some degree.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyscalculia
So I can relate to how stressful school can be. When I was in school I failed every math class. I could not ever get the same answer twice! The numbers would sort of float around in my head like number soup, and I couldn't get them to hold still long enough to do any calculations in my head.
I can do simple arithmatic with a pocket calculator, balance my check book, figure out a few simple things like % and volume and such, but that's about it. Algebra is the work of the Devil!

Lol, I don't even want to click on that link, I just don't want to know and you can't make me 
I have a little saying, I don't do numbers, but I do math.
