Aha! sol has a ranch in sunny Mexico. I know where I will be visiting this January instead of shovelling snow all month... :P

Or maybe we should drop in on Loup. I hear January is a nice month in the Southern Hemisphere. Wink

Ah, Feburary is the hottest, Janurary and December can be quite mild sometimes. It's nice, though, because our summer holidays include Christmas and New Year's.

Hi!

Want to hear something funny? I injured my wrist while flapping my arms around yelling at the dog for barking at the cat. So I have not been online as much as I would normally because of that. Just in case anybody misses me... Wink :P

Oui and Non? :P

Je parle un peu de francais, mais ce n'est pas tres bien. J'etude la dans l'ecole pour huit ans... mais j'ai oublier beaucoup de la vocabulaire.

(Some of the spelling may be off, but I remembered this much... I'm actually quite surprised as it's been over 15 years since I gave it up).

And TAS, it should be "orteils" instead of "pieds"... Wink

Very good:
I speak a bit of french, but not very well. I studied it in school for eight years (grade 3-11)... but I forget lots of vocabulary.

I took Spanish classes for several years (I even got an award for it) and all I can seem to muster up is "Esta Susanna en casa? Si, esta con una amiga." And that isn't even techinically correct because a question is supposed to be preceded by an upside down question mark. :roll:

I'm not sure how you can work with a desktop so unorganized TAS. Mine is pretty messy though. I dump what I'm woking on in my desktop then move it into my project partition or my garbage folder.
