Have the discussions here over the years ............

[naomi24]

taught you anything, or changed your views in any way? If so, how? And if not, why?

[naomi24]

Oh, Luna, I am sorry. Is this the girl you told me about? How very sad. Your poor sister.

I'm not sure he will return, but I'm working on it. We had a very peculiar moment there.

I'm ok, thanks. Life for me has changed greatly recently, and I'm much too busy, but I'm ok.

[naomi24]

What a shame, Luna. Poor girl. What a sad life.

I won't go into detail, but I'm busier than ever now. I don't have much time for me, but AB provides a welcome diversion here and there.

Are you teaching your friends English?

[naomi24]

And you can spell it too! :o)

[naomi24]

Many languages have different grammatical rules. The French, for example, speak what to us would appear to be backwards. They say 'a house white', instead of 'a white house'. Anyway, good for you for giving it a go. Polish could be a very useful language to have in this day and age. Maybe you could do a course in teaching English as a foreign language. I have a friend who does that, and you don't need to speak the original language to do it. A new career perhaps?

I don't know what's up with R&S Luna. We seem to have been invaded by people not really interested in the subject, or bent on causing stupid arguments. People these days are so angry all the time. There's no fun here any more. It seems to have deteriorated with the arrival of one particular participant, and has gone downhill ever since. The key to the wine cellar has long disappeared, as are the days when we organised parties aboard the Ark, and AB spectaculars with full orchestra, and happily threw and munched custard pies. Ah, them woz the days!

[naomi24]

True. Sorry. I get these bright ideas, but I should keep them to myself. Like my mouth, my fingers often run away with me.

This might help with your calendar question.

Night Luna. Have a good weekend.

[naomi24]

Blimey, the whole lot was a bit philosophical! I think you're right - money doesn't bring happiness - but you might as well be miserable with it as without it.

When I was really skint, it didn't make me value anything. It worried me sick and made me ill.
