Hello people, sorry I haven't been online in a while. Been pretty busy.
About 8 months ago while I was playing online, I got into a friendly argument with a french friend of mine about languages, he said Arabic sounds like a braying camel that's choking on a... ehm
I said that French is a language that God made exclusively for women and not to be spoken by any self respecting man, anyway, things escalated (in a fun way) and we had a bet on which of us would be able to carry a conversation in the other's language first. A 3rd party suggested I give the french guy a 6 month lead, as Arabic is a completely foreign language to a French/English speaker, while French is relatively familiar to an English speaker.
Anyway, the 6 months were up, and as of two months ago, I've been grinding on Duolingo
@Regen: My cows are great
I also got a litter of 7 puppies, and again their mother got mastitis, and stopped feeding them, so I've been doing that with a monster recipe of boiled sweet potatoes, milk, whey an flour. They're absolutely adorable, but they make me walk very slowly around the farm so that I don't step on any of them. The rhythm is: leg forward, no more than 5 cm off the ground, sweep puppy away with the outside of my foot, place my foot, put the other leg forward and repeat.
@Dina: Is that show where they spent half the episode mowing the grass, the other half kicking the ball and the third half showing the surprise of other players and spectators? The episode ending mid-kick and the goal is scored in the next episode?
I absolutely loved/hated it as a kid.
go
Anyway, how is everyone doing? how's the family, Regen? And Dina: Your hubby doing ok?
I haven't watched any games yet, sadly. But hopefully I'll get to watch France vs Denmark (I hope France loses so I can taunt my french friend, but it's unlikely.
