Well done on the Dr app @SoulOfRusalka. I avoided that while abroad just for fear of getting tongue tied. Took me a month to figure out how the laundry worked in my Austrian youth hostel! (Austrian German is NOT the same as German German.) But at least mobile phones have moved on sufficiently you've always got Google translate in your corner (blasphemy for a language graduate, I know).
I have finished all my Christmas shopping. I just need to do some wrapping and I'm done! Never usually this organised but I know full well once baby is here, nothing will get done.
Just like Canadian French is not the same as France French.....
Is that true? I didn't know that. Makes sense now that you say it. Isolated languages evolve into their own version.0 -

Jesus, I wouldn't even tell your host mum that.
Yay for eating breakfast though! And I'm glad you went to the doctors. Did you get any answers or help?
Reading back on this, it was meant more as a concern for your safety rather than a comment on your sexual preference. I know a gay couple who moved from Russia to England for their own safety, they won't even go home to see their parents.1 -
Confession: When someone says on a thread that they "binged" on 7 fun-sized candy bars on Halloween, I want to reach through the computer and throttle them.

Woo-hoo, big Binger! I don't think of it as a binge unless I eat the whole bag. I can walk off the calories in 7 funsize candy bars.0 -

Right?!? It's a binge when you've blown thousands of calories, not a couple hundred. I don't have, and have never had, BED. But it seems disrespectful to those people who struggle with true BED to call 7 fun-sized candy bars a binge.1 -

Very true. I have a French Canadian friend, and while we understand each other on the whole, the accent is totally different and many of the words are too. Much like British English and American English.
Tends to be more Anglicisms in Canadian French as they're far less snobbish than us. Did you know the French French have an academy whose job it is to protect the language, and whose members get issued with ceremonial swords!? True story.0 -

I actually went to a gay bar with an friend my first week, and then when my tutor asked what bar I went to I panicked and said that *I forgot the name* which is um...not very believable unless I drank a LOT. lol.
Anyway, I think St. Petersburg is probably the safest place in Russia for me easily, and sadly I expect that I’m better off than a gay man, too, so I’m sure it would be fine but not taking chances if I don’t have to.
My sister and I also invented a fake American boyfriend for me before we left. His name is Brodyjohn Stancliff III, and he’s just Chris Evans with an obviously-photoshopped mustache.

Or just protecting Canadian French with a shiv. Either way.

Every time someone says they “binged” on a perfectly ordinary amount of food I just want to scream “that word does not mean what you think it means!!!”kelly_c_77 wrote: »quiksylver296 wrote: »Confession: When someone says on a thread that they "binged" on 7 fun-sized candy bars on Halloween, I want to reach through the computer and throttle them.

OMG I saw that too & had to stop myself from making a snarky reply.
I wish some of my monstrous binges were only on seven fun-sized candy bars.
I shudder to think what some of my worst binges have been calorie wise.0 -

The name is hilarious! Sounds like some yuppie name that would be popular in the '80's.
It sounds like a name Clark Rockefeller (not his real name obviously) would've chose to continue his scams.

I know there are going to be doughnuts at a work meeting, and a potluck at bowling tonight. Son has a wrestling match, so I'll be running from work to wrestling to bowling. I really think I'm just going to cross today off as a wash, and start again tomorrow.
Halloween was a bust for me too. I ended up working late then went to bonefish grill and had pad thai. I am still seeing the effects on the scale. I didn't have any candy at home so I wanted to avoid trick or treaters.0 -

I worked concessions for the first round of high school football playoffs. I got almost 4000 steps in a 6 x 15 room in 3 hours. Our team won and will host another game next week. *Roll Tribe! * Our band is going to be at Bands of America Nationals (3 of the last 5 years - our band is better than our football team); so instead of concessions, I am going to be in the alumni pep band. No halftime show, but we will be there to stir up the crowd.

Yeah, same. I just hate knowing that people who seem like good people and seem to like me might treat me differently if they knew this totally insignificant fact that’s not even the most important part of my identity? Ugh.

In other news, I am celebrating the return of health by... not learning my lesson or changing any of my behavior.
So that’s fun.
