Or for moms like mine who just wanted me gone for the summer. Worked well for me too: I didn't have to see her for months either.

Plus the guy is an entitled, bloodthirsty liar who also is a healthcare provider. Outrage towards a sociopath is completely justifiable.

Those eyes! That’s going to be a pretty little girl.

Thanks for the google scholar link! I bookmarked it to read some of the relevant articles later.

Do you have a citation? Cuz I'd be interested in reading about it.

I too finished Crypto but wasn't happy doing it. I didn't understand some of it, which made me feel stupid. I don't like feeling stupid. I'd give it 2 Amazon stars for being unintelligible to even an intelligent reader.

If you have a U.S. Public library card, chances are you can find any book you want to borrow for free. I have 7 books on my tablet, just waiting to be read.
