Oh, and with Merlin of course. ;D Still a fan. MERLIN!!!!!!! Um, I mean, I too am enjoying this. Obviously. So now - instead of studying law - I'm studying to become a history teacher in secondary school. Really liking it so far, so hopefully it will stay this way. This is what I do!!!! YAY! I appear to be abusing punctuation today. This is very bad of me. I must go and think about what I have done wrong in this excessive use...

Hey! ;D Thought I should drop by here as well since I just came out of lurkdom in the GTST board. Could hardly skip saying 'hi' here, could I? So: HI! (And Neand: hope you had a great X-mas as well... Missed you btw! x)

(And Neand: hope you had a great X-mas as well... Missed you btw! x) Glad you delurked Amber. Missed you too btw... a lot. Xmas was ok... different, but ok. I'll explain later. How's Jarno? Hard to imagine how long it's been, but I'm now a great-uncle for a third time. Ni2 had boy in March, and Ni1 had a girl in November. All are doing well. Did I read right? You've dropped out of Law and are going for a new Major? Started yet? Going ok? Still working? How's the family? I'm getting more hooked on Merlin than I thought possible. If it hadn't been for you and Louisa I'd never have watched that show. Thanks. Take care sweetheart... JF

Wow! Didn't expect a reply in the CT for at least a month... ;D You're fast! Good to know Xmas was ok, but now you've made me curious about why it was different. Hope it was a good different... Jarno is doing great! At the moment he's in love with 'Bob the Builder' for some reason. He still refuses to call me by my name (even though he obviously loves me ), but he knows all the characters from that series and talks all day long about Bobba. (That is 'Bob' in Jarno language) Time flies... He turned 2 in November and I can still recall the day that I proudly announced in the CT that I had become an aunt. Wow! Three little ones already?! Congrats!! I knew about Ni2, but what a nice suprise to hear that Ni1 had a little girl in November. You must be a very proud great-uncle. And yes, you read it right. I dropped out of Law school. Finally. It really didn't make me happy... And eventhough it was really hard to tell my parents because I knew they would be so dissapointed, I'm still very glad I did it. I've started a complete new study, so at the moment I have (again) a bit more over 3 years to go, but I don't care. Love what I'm doing now. Still having minor freak outs about whether I really made the right choice, but all in all I'm happy about it. I love history and I love kids, so teaching history to kids in secondary school seemed like the perfect combination. It's going ok; passed all my exams so far. Still a lot to do, but I'll get there... (Hopefully!) And yes, still working at the same job. And the family is doing ok. Both my mom and dad are having some troubles with their hearts (my dad had a minor stroke in October), but nothing dramatic at the moment. The doctors keep a good eye on them. Glad you like Merlin so much! I still need to see the S3 finale, because for some reason I still haven't seen that one... I do read (way too much!) fanfic. ;D And how have you've been doing? (Did the snow keep you busy this winter? ) xx

Just because I feel like sharing something sweet... ;D I really need some encouraging pushes. So much to do and not in the mood for a thing at all. *sigh*

Just because I feel like sharing something sweet... ;D I really need some encouraging pushes. So much to do and not in the mood for a thing at all. *sigh* Thanks for the cupcakes... I too feel for something sweet right now. I've got a chocolate cake, but I didn't bother icing it... I think I'm getting lazy. So you dropped out of Law School... and here I was hoping to have a lawyer friend at last... guess I'll have to do without. But I can live with two history-teaching friends. I majored in History at college (not university; our system is a bit strange... college first - grades 13 and 14 - then university). If there's one thing I've learned in life is that one must go with what feels right. Combining your love of history with your love of children seems like a match made in teacher's heaven. How come you still have three years to go? Couldn't you get credited for some of the courses you've already taken? or are you going part-time? What does Jarno call you? Auntie? (the Dutch equivalent of course... which is what btw?) Merlin... V is now running Season 2 (translating takes a while), but that's ok. I miss the British accent though. Re your parents... sorry to read they're having heart problems. As long as they're careful. My mum had two mild strokes and you'd never have guessed... that how good the meds were. Re snow... nothing to write home about really. Very little by our Saguenay standards. We got about 20 cms a few days ago and that was the first major snowfall this winter. I'll post some pics later. OH... but it's been cold though... my heating bill is hitting the roof. Re X-mas... I'll PM. I'm as busy as ever. Currently going door to door distributing Church Donation receipts. Incredible ... got to talk with a number of elderly people... it breaks my heart... the loneliness... Given your job, I'm sure you understand what I mean. I've got to do something. Not sure exactly what, but I've got ideas. I am still volunteering at the Alzheimer/Dementia centre. Love it... love the people... The head nurse told me to be careful though as I tend to get too attached. I know she's right, but I have so much love to give and I don't know how to mete it out. It's always a case of all or nothing with me. Whenever one of the patients dies, I can almost hear my heart ripping... I miss the old gang... momnoc, restenergy, louisa, Princess Ollian, aldebaran, mikey, aldi etc.... But we all have a life away from this Board. Wonder how they're doing. That's it for now. Take care one and all, jf.

For those Board members who wander this way... I'd like you to check Restenergy.net... He's got new pics posted. Worth the detour. Amber... I should have waited before making my snow comments... more than 40 cms have fallen since march 4th. That'll teach me. I should have some pics up soon. Thinking of you. Here are some pics: Take care one and all, JF.

Wow! That's a lot of snow...! I'm just dropping by to say I'll be back later... It's a bit busy right now and if I'll start writing I just know I'm not going to do the things I have to do. *rolls eyes* Have homework for tomorrow and I really should be doing that. So, just here to let you know I haven't forgotten you! xx Will be back tomorrow after class!

Wow! That's a lot of snow...! Good thing I posted those pics when I did... freezing rain and rain started two days later. It doesn't look anything like it anymore. Hope you got the homework done. It's all a matter of priorities. I have a fair bit of reading to do before tomorrow afternoon's meeting and I really don't feel like it but it's got to be done. Very sweet of you. Tks Time to do the dishes (I know... it's late... but I can't stand waking up to dirty dishes), then bed. Sleep well. Take care one and all, JF.

Hi there... felt like saying we're coming out of the woodwork... but figured "coming out of the snowbank" might be more appropriate (in my case that is)... anyway... hope you've composed yourself by now. Nice hearing ;D from you again. Teaching? Still Merlin crazy? Sleuthing? Hope life is treating you well, jf Take care one and all. PS I talked earlier about the freezing rain... here's the result: Malus berries... Backyard Linden tree: Sure was pretty. You all sleep well now.

Earth Hour is now a thing of the past here... meaning it ended a couple of minutes ago. I cheated. I had a lamp on in the living room... but that's all that was on. I have so many questions... but I'll refrain for now... Allow me to ask one: Have you got yourself a new job? or gone back to school? That's it... not too bad eh? Feel free to pop back in. Miss you, JF

Nice hearing ;D from you again. Teaching? Still Merlin crazy? Sleuthing? Hope life is treating you well, jf I am now composed ;D Merlin crazy as always, gotta have something to squeak over. Teaching one day a week and working for a children's charity the res of the time. Not quite what I want to do but it keeps me busy and the people are great. Very little on the sleuthing front at the moment, it's rather disappointing. Perhaps I will have to go and hide someone's wheelie bin and cause uproar in the village. Hope you are not too snowed in and cold!!!

Miss you, JF Yeah, its been a crazy couple of years. Still is. Have not found a new job, still hate it but am now using the fact that I hate my job as motivation to keep at the school thing. So am working and going to school both full time... Dead on my feet but trying to remind myself it is for the best and will work itself out.....

Hi, all. It's been a while, hasn't it? I do still lurk here semi-regularly, but it's been a long time since I posted, so I wanted to say hello. Hope everyone is well. I get to fly off to Europe quite soon. I'm looking forward to a few days in Amsterdam, followed by some time in southern Germany before going to Paris for about a week. I've been long overdue for another trip to Europe, so I'm excited. And, of course, I'll have my camera with me. Speaking of camera, I've created a new website. Check it out if you're so inclined: www.restenergy.net

So happened to all the this chat?? I never had the chance of participating in this, but I mean I guess it's time to bring it back. It's would definitely be nice to talk about something here. This is a chat thread after all, so why not use it??

Alright, I don't need someone to respond with another post (it would be best), but a PM will work just fine. I need some advice with a question I have concerning translations. And that has to do with what I should translate to into English. It's school vocabulary, and as you know, this changes A LOT in English speaking countries, and also what is taught to those learning English as a second language. So I just want to know what vocab should I use in my translations. I want to make it as universal as possible, but also less complicated. I want to know what grading system to use, and also what Educational Stage Levels I should use. I will be using these a lot, so I need help with it. Thank in advance. I appreciate it P.S. If you happen to be reading this and you're Spaniard, Mexican, or Colombian and went to school in your respective country, please send me a private message. Thanks

Just want to say, I think it's about time for a change of the banner since most of the characters are gone (ie. dead). I did a new one, if the owner of the forum wants to use it, please go ahead, I will be glad to see it up there.
