?????? ???? Board Languages
by kylecawazafla- 31 replies
- 1.9k views
?????? ?????Which languages are you most familiar with and speak or encounter on a regular basis? Which alphabet do you know best, if it is even one? If you moved from country to country, how long did it take you to pick up the language if you have at all yet? I grew up in California with English being my main language, and Afrikaans as a side language with my parents. Since then I have enough German to hold a superficial conversation, although I picked it up from being in Germany instead of taking classes, and inversely took classes in Spanish and am semi-okay in it now (3 months in the Canary Islands helped A LOT) . I also went to a high school in Seattle with a stro…

Went to bed really early last night, and got up really early and went shopping at 4:00 a.m. local time. Parking lots were packed, and more people were streaming to the place. Wal Mart wasn't just a zoo, but the entire Serengeti! When did this madness start to be an institution?

"Bris Vegas" = Brisbane
by Walter John- 4 replies
- 1.1k views
"Bris Vegas" = "Brisbane". Local term to describe Brisbane, the capital of Queensland, and declared the most livable city in Australia several years running. Brisbane has a population of around 1.5 million, and is the centre of the South-East Queensland corridor that runs from the Sunshine Coast to the New South Wales border (although some would include the northern coast of New South Wales around Kingscliffe in this definition.) This area has the dubious distinction of being the fastest growing region in Australia According to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, there are several explanations for how the city of Brisbane, Queensland got the name Bris Vegas (or Brisve…

"If" by Rudyard Kipling

- 1.5k views
If by Rudyard Kipling If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream -- and not make dreams your master; If you can think -- and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two imposters just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fool…

Howdyall: Just kinda sorta ruminatin' about that 'hood in Sadism, called Normal Heights, which seems anything by normal . . . The "Normal" part of "Normal Heights" is not a reference to mundanity; instead it refers to the State Normal School, which is the predecessor to San Diego State University (formerly located in nearby University Heights). The State Normal School building now serves as the Eugene Brucker Education Center, the central office for the San Diego Unified School District. This is from the Wikipedia thang about NH . . . .

Cassandra and I recently visited part of the Great Barrier Reef with Reef Magic which takes you to a great area of the Outer GBR which is well known for the beautiful very large Maori wrasse, many other fish and pristine reef. Of all the reef trips we have done this is our favourite , great crew, great food, a great day and of course "very relaxing". Under water and Heli shots where taken by "Reef Magic" on the day which for a small price they sell to happy day trippers. Pete and Cassandra 5 times I tried to post pics and it wouldn't let us. this is "why" so many pics are showing a few times, Im not going to "try n delete" as I don't want to "reload" again and a…

Howdyall: My computer is nowhere near full memory-wise, but it's a slower than it used to be. One problem is supposed to be "registry errors" and a solution touted for it is ARO 2013, which is a downloadable program. http://www.sammsoft.com/aro/freescan/installC.aspx?referrer=hw-F36freescanC_L4-aro&utm_source=hlw&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=aro&sid=223597050 Anyone have any experience with this?
