Thought or Rant of the day!!!

[Snickie]

Congratulations, Vega! <3

Can we see the dress?

[Vega]

I'll try to rant less...

It was a very normal everyday dress. Actually, I think I was the less "well dressed" of the wedding
But we are marrying "again" in Spain next year and we are making the big celebration there so there I'll have the cool awesome dress

Swollen toes, swollen feet. No ankles. What are those again? Swollen fingers. It rained today, so it's humid out, so our evaporative AC isn't working. It's probably 35C outside, which normally isn't too bad when there's the AC working since (normally) it's a dry heat out here. Spent an hour on my feet making dinner, though, and took a step away from the stovetop and suddenly my back pinched and felt like it had just collapsed in on itself. Didn't sleep well last night. Acid reflux no matter what I did, or took, and if I laid on my left side for more than 10 minutes, it'd get numb and then stabby painful, so I'd have to roll over to my right side, which made the acid reflux worse, until 10 minutes later I'd have to rotate again. Peed 5 times last night. My record (so far) is 9 times... which was two nights ago. Surprisingly, I slept okay (on my 9 pee record night) except for the whole waking up every hour on the hour (or more) to pee. Woke up at 1 am last night, though, couldn't sleep, so I read a book until 4 am. Then I got up at 7 am and went to work. At work the AC is reverse cycle, but nothing is insulated so I have to find every excuse to just stand under it with my arms out.

Sad night at work tonight. Came across a herd of 8 deer running in the west end of the train yard. 8!! And here I am. No gun or hunter in sight. And a freezer with absolutely no deer meat inside it. I about cried when I realized I could only "shoot" a crappy picture of 6 of them. What good is hunting seasonnif the hunter you paid for a deer isn't finding any, and yet I find 8 by accident. Some bull poop is what it is..

When's the baby due, Wolfsong?

Congratulations Vega!! And yeah, I want to see the dress too!

Ah, yeah. I just bloody loved when I was feeling like that and people kept telling me stuff like 'Pregnancy is the most beautiful moment in the life of every woman', and I was inwardly like 'fuuuuck you!'.

Jan. 14th, give or take. And don't get me wrong - I love being pregnant most of the time, which I didn't expect going into it, but I miss my ankles and the ability to tie my shoes without it being a massive hassle.

[Snickie]

Laceless slip-on shoes ftw.


So, I haven't actually played Cantr in probably several weeks. I've logged in to keep my account from timing out, but not actually played. Because finals, you know. And while finals was extremely stressful to me, not having to worry about Cantr was a huge help.

Of course now that winter break has started, whether I start playing again is up in the air.

Guys, Polish is available now on DuoLingo.

Now the question is should I finish Esperanto first and start Polish later or abandon Esperanto and start Polish now?

[ObsessedWithCats]

I was soooooo excited for Polish, then I quit Duolingo and Cantr, then I went back to both and within three weeks of getting back into Duolingo Polish was released XD I've started the course - it's a bit clunky still, but I'm not sure what the normal timeframe is for exiting beta. If it's not likely to happen soon I'd say just go for it.

I've found it really hard so far, but that's with only the language I spent several years learning in school before I started Duolingo for comparison.

[Alutka]

I've found it really hard so far

Nah, Polish it's not hard. I've learnt it as a toddler.

On a serious note, if you have any trouble with Polish, I am always willing to help.

[Snickie]

Dziękuję Alutka

And I don't know the requirements for beta, only that Esperanto has been in beta for a few months, it's nearly finished, and I think it's still clunkier than Polish so far.

[ObsessedWithCats]

Dzięki Alutka ^_^

It's at least logical converting what's said to what's written once you learn the rules. I've always thought English must be one of the worst things to learn as a second language.

[mru]

Yes, once you get hold of the rules, reading and writing in Polish becomes one of the easy parts.
Good luck!

Just a side note: from what I can see, Duolingo won't correct you or indicate in any way that you're making a mistake if you don't use special letters like ą, ę, ć, ż etc. I suppose that may be a slight problem as a lot of Polish words use these and the pronunciation can be quite different in some cases. Otherwise it looks good, though
