...In other words,

I think I'm failing at it though. I might need to start smoking and drinking to work on the weathering.

Speaking of the show where you can't go one episode where someone doesn't die...
@russian/sulcata/tortoise?? Seen the new season yet?
I've only seen as far as the end of season 3.
But I heard last Sunday's episode didn't go down very well, lowest audience appreciation so far by miles.

What! Don't deliberately do yourself harm...
Might want to have tea with (practically any old wise dude) and ask them about what they use in their beards.

Did you read it in English or French?

I always wonder how well books are translated and whether there's something missing. I should start learning the French so I can go back and reread Dumas and Vernes as they were intended.
My French is pretty good, but not that good.
But you are right, it's very hard to get a perfect translation, meanings become lost and idioms are often difficult for example.
Arabic even more so.
Love Verne's classics and Dumas, but can't get into modern French lit. at all.

I think that's because of what happened to *****. It wasn't in the books so it wasn't actually necessary. The real question is how they handle the transition from where the last book ends to completely off the rails.

Hey , how long do I leave the babies in the incubator ? I have a enclosure setup . They still have there bellies open a little .
Personally I'd leave them until their bellies closed up. But ask my sis @Yvonne G . She has numerous incubators all going at the same time....I did incubate goof ball once. I won't explain....:(

I had a friend who became a psychiatrist; he studied German for several years so he could read Freud in the original. :eek:

I tried watching TV but..... (see? but, but, but!)
a) if I were to watch something I like sleep would NOT come because I'd be interested in the show/film or whatever it is.
b) if it's something boring, well...I would not be concentrating and all sorts of negative things would begin to race through my mind, and in this case sleep would 'never' come!

Thanks your advice anyway. Appreciate it.
Work graveyard shift. Works for me like a charm. I've been known to fall asleep sitting up on the couch while sending someone a text message.
