Therefore 1 cannot be a whole number.  Yes or no?

No.  Infinity is not a number.  In this case it is the set of all possible numbers.  This is like mixing apples and hamsters.

I could be described as painfully shy around the same period.  I wonder if online forums basically select for our sort?

Well, I'm not so shy now.  I prefer being around people which is why I hated being an art major.  It's a lonely thing, art is.  I loved the social aspect of theatre so I majored in theatre design.  Forums are more of creative writing outlet for me.  

I wasn't shy in high school.  I was the school's newspaper's cartoonist and acted in a school play.

But I am shy now.  Too many missteps with other people made me quit trying. So retirement is perfect for me.   hobo

If you add a hamster and an apple, the hamster will consume the apple. Ergo,   hamster + apple = hamster.

No, really, it is.  In fact, there is an infinite number of infinities and they are all numbers.

I left it open for someone to post the really tough question.

We get maple syrup from the sap of maple trees.

Where does table syrup come from?

I had a powder grinder when I was shooting black powder. Never thought of making baby powder with it. Missed opportunities.
