It's quite simple, JP asked for it and now he's in denial.
I got that credit I applied, so my degree is now finished. That was really stressing me, so I'm glad that's done now. The funny thing is that as a
reaction to the guy that was really rude to me, I ended up supplying them with references from six different jobs and one of them ended up being
enough to get the credit.
I'm back to studying French with earnest as we'll be visiting my relatives in Normandy again in January.

Bien! J'espère qu'on peut vraiment ecrire en français ici!
Went to work as temp aagain, cleaning... The last house was filthy! So much trash! There were balloons and popcorn and doritos everywhere. It was a
battle, that one, but as extra reward we got to keep the groceries they'd left behind. So now I have a bottle of Sprite and a jar of applesauce.
Just heard Toots Thielemans passed away, legendary jazz musician. Sis and I saw him live in 2006.

Je suis capable de comprendre ton voeu, mais mon français est limité en général. Je suppose la forme familière est acceptable. Je suis sûr que ton
français est supérieur au mien.

Je pensais que nous ne voulons pas effaroucher quelque uns, mais il n'y à pas beaucoup de personnes ici.
This is fun, but maybe we should continue to speak English. No reason to not throw a bit of French in every now and then when things are quiet. You
see, even that is very ironic.

I don't think it's going to attract many more people than we have already no matter what language you speak.

English speaking people from those countries where English is the dominant language - US, UK, Australia - are quite commonly monolingual and are often
intimidated by other languages.

I only allow spiders to intimidate me, but that's not a conscious decision.
Had another mail from Huck, he's really up a creek... poor guy.

All my best to Huck.
There is a survey, that I'm not sure I trust because they only asked 3,000 people, that actually purports to show that multilingualism is seen as
desirable by 71% of people in the UK and the US. Go figure. There are still plenty of parochial bigots to go around.

Does that mean that the 29% believe it's undesirable or that the 71% think it's dead sexy?

In my original comment I was basing myself on anecdotal evidence of bigotry that I've come across throughout my life towards anything non English . My
own father would not allow me to be brought up speaking French around the house. He deprived me of a very useful skill, which I'm now having to try
and absorb as an adult.

^Sorry to hear that... It's very important to learn the base of other languages before you're 12, after that you'll have a hard time learning a new
language.
My sister escaped death and destruction when she noticed the neighbor's barbecue'd gone on fire. She alerted the emergency line, alerted the neighbor
and helped putting the fire out.
I on the other hand spent hours on the phone with my sweetheart.
Looks like the Zappa forum is finally moving. The new address will be forum.zappa.com.

So life's not dull up there.
I tried the new link. It's a live site but a long way from functional. Just a bunch of links to Diva's knitwear.

Sorry to hear that... I caught GG last night but that was really an inconvenient time.
I'm at my bf again. Unfortunately I forgot my laptop plug and adapter.
