Hi. I think that's a very nice idea. Toronto is a bit far away, but what is a little distance?:) reading is one of my main pleasures. Languages come with the territory. What about cooking, though? I won't touch any méat, but I'm rather good at improvising dinners...

I apologize. Really. Right now I don't feel intellectually qualified to join the discussion anymore. Really. I promise: I'll leave you to your delightful discussion without my idiotic, primitive and totally inadéquate interference. Promised. And I'm glad to know that the world is still in the...

The answers to a very simple question on this thread are tremendously funny. Lots and lots of words. And lots again. My o my- people on a mission. Thé op asked a very simple, dreamlike question. He did not post an add. And to be frank : it was a dream like question and not meant to provoke a...

Salut jafo. Are we talking about long term friends or long term buddies here? One doesn't give up on a 20 year FRIENDSHIP. Buddies could be différent. (I just forget the "pussy" remark. I think it came out of desperation. One of the things that happen and were not really meant as an insult) If...

Half past two in thé morning and thé pain is so bad that you carefully walk to and fro, knowing that lying down would be a mistake. You know it will get worse. It's very quiet and the toc toc of the crutches the only noise. At least you won't disturb anybody's sleep with it... It's a hot and...

So easy: just buy a ticket....my o my...

Oh, bogey IS right. Why SHOULD one take a so called selfie and put it on some ridiculous so called social network thing if not out of vanity or some kind of exhibitionist "disorder" ? To use one of these modern time shrink terms.

Competitive attitude is working/acting against not with others. I totally agree. Vain and draining, as you pût it. Ridiculous even. Yes, decidedly draining. Higher, faster, bigger...bull

Competitive attitude is working/acting against not wit

Triple bogey could not have put it better. Forget about this idiotic and superficial competing stuff and move on to something more profound. Vain and clever is out. Just bull... Stop comparing and competing. Being one's self is already challenge enough. So just be yourself.

@mickey: I just read your post and with regards to thé phenomen that you observed, I got the feeling of living in a totally différent society. Where I live shop owners don't have such powers and surely are not frightened by their customers. And I know some very wealthy people who just don't...

You asked: can anybody be a bit différent, please? Well- I am. Not a bit. Mais totalement different. Je te jure!

Come over and bring the others with you. The greenhouse needs to be fixed. And not only that:)

Sounds not good, Jafo. But strangely close to how I feel and did lately. House is nearly empty by now. Getting rid of a burden, in a way. You did not die in your sleep because it was not yet your time to go, I guess. As it was not yet mine. I think, there is still this "hope thing" that keeps...

That's what I'm doing. Well- did until now, since my disease takes over. The land is there- just come over. There's even a vinyard. Could you ask for more?:)
