IMO: Although help from a professional could better the situation, depression creates a disconnect between people who are suffering and their friends/family who do their best to empathize. Having been in both states (like many) attempting to communicate with the "other side" is a very difficult task as the rational processes are very different. It is tough stuff, and if it was as easy as talking it out or getting help, we'd have a lot less suicides. --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility. As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5-year phase-in plan that would become known as " Euro-English". In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter. In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away. By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v". During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru. Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

Erasing would make it much easier, and a lot more fun for sure. But would you get even a fraction of the enjoyment of watching THIS ONE?!. Unbelievable. What a nut sat in front of the computer for that long...even IF you DID have the eraser it would be incredible. --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

Economics/Finance/International Business student. Although I am considering a (very well paid) academic career in finance, i plan to end up in a private equity/venture capital role. Take your supergood financial analysis skills, work hard, negotiate, work harder, make a deal, break a deal, make it again, produce a HUGE return, and take home some, QUIT (because you have/had! no life) buy a little yacht, sail around oceania. well, maybe, if I can get the grade I want on this monetary economics final in an few hours. Quit tempting me into cuncation. --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

Nope, not all. I have 4/6 done so far. 1 today, 1 friday. Then only another 6 more and i'll be done forever. But i'll probably mix those 6 with 4 others and add in 2 more and make them last. Even though it sucks taking finals, I love to see how much I have learned in a few months time. And that's all you have to do, read a book and learn. Hate it Love it. --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

So then you know about pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis? And what about pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism? (floccinaucinihilipilification - In recent times its usage has been recorded in the proceedings of the United States Senate by Senator Robert Byrd, and at the White House by Bill Clinton's press secretary Mike McCurry, albeit sarcastically.) *Here I am cunctating again before my 6p.m. final --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

As I am digressing from studying for my final tomorrow morning at 8a.m., I am theorizing that my friend (an English Major) probably bamboozled me with his ability to construct non-existent vernacular. I believed him on the basis that he previously educated me about the word "sesquipedalian". This word can be used in a similar fashion, although usually prompted by slightly different circumstances. For example: "Antidisestablishmentarianism", often referred to as one of the longest words in the english language is definitely sesquipedalian. *Note "anti-dis" is in fact a double negative in the word itself. I just called my old friend, asked him, and he had no idea. Now I am sure he was bamboozeling. He did however tell me of a new cool word I will certainly use, in particular when referring to my amazing girlfriend: Cherubic: having a sweet nature befitting an angel or cherub; "an angelic smile"; "a cherubic face"

I used to be a big fan of a word I unfortunately forgot, but would love to be reminded of. I searched for it high and low but can't find it. I think it starts with "C" and the definition is: "overly verbose" It is a lengthy word. I love to use it when someone (such as some of the people above) spits out a word i don't understand. I simply responded with: "Don't be so....." This then unexpectedly produced the "deer in the headlights" look onto THEIR face. Unfortunately I associated with too many non-pretentious people and didn't have enough opportunities to express this word and it faded from my memory. PLEASE tell me what the word was! --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

hhhmmmm yeah i have been reading and reading and it seems you are correct. They constructed the statue in France and then disassembled it again for shipment. Maybe there are two bases? Can't find anything on his version of the story. I don't see why he would have bs'd though. Oh well, i'll ask around Paris, if it is the case I am sure it would be at least somewhat known in Paris. --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

I was walking through Central Park in August when a downpour hit. I ran to a shelter where there were a bunch of people, including two young people from Romania and France. In our conversation I found out this guy is a badass cook in a pretty cool restaurant in Paris. This restaurant has a basement, created when they excavated the rock for the foundation of the Statue of Liberty. Anyone have ANY idea where this restaurant is?! (I lost the address Matthieu gave me, but I still want a free meal in Paris in two weeks!)

I'm walking to class one day with my Ipod in my right pocket and my earphones in. I get to class and take off my bag (off my right shoulder) and as it brushes by the side of my body my Ipod SHOCKS me in my EARS! The headphones really. It was violent enough to make me let out "OW"... no one believed me when I said...MY IPOD SHOCKED ME! I am a slow monkey and haven't learned yet, so it has happened multiple times now... Why does this happen? --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

So I was watching the Discovery Channel last night about "Biker" wanting to go 120mph on his skateboard. Jeb was there assisting or something. They got into the wind tunnel to test the idea (horizontal) and Jeb was all excited about Biker starting the "fly" his body... anyone else see this? --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
