torn asunder

if it makes any difference, i've actually completed the full free duolingo course, but have yet to speak it out loud with anyone, so you might not need full confidence for it!

If you're interested, I've been in need of a japanese conversation partner for a long time now, but have been unable to find anyone. feel free to email me if you'd like to discuss the possibility?

not sure it'll work for everyone, but if you right-click the border image, then 'open image in new tab' (or something similar) you can see the full image.

i have dreams of dozens of recurring places that, as far as i know, don't exist. not sure how common it is? i've got malls, museums, amusement parks, rivers, lakes, public parks, ocean waterways, dunes, construction sites, homes, several different neighborhoods (both residential and industrial), and i know them well enough to recall them clearly while awake as well... if i were an artist, i'd attempt to draw them. (hrm, maybe i will one day?)

the statement by itself is racist. if the person has enough money to afford a lawyer, you could have just said so, their being jewish had absolutely nothing to do with it.

dude, really?

what would a mosquito do with a paw paw if they found one?

i actually quit this month, though it's likely only temporary. I also quit for a year 2 septembers ago. of course, i've been sad/anxious since i was 8-10 yrs old (diagnosed clinical depression by a psychiatrist), so i didn't notice it that much. what i did notice was that i no longer felt comfortable around other drunks, so i rarely go out. honestly, i'm just waiting for synthehol now! https://www.livescience.com/4060-hangover-free-buzz-star-trek-synthehol.html https://gizmodo.com/real-life-synthehol-will-get-you-buzzed-but-never-drun-5434752

wow, welcome back!

ms turbo is back? 😉 good to see you here again!

this was why i never donated after the (one?) time i did - i asked troy to lay out the costs of operating dgn so the members could see where their funds were going, and for accountability. he refused. i was all for supporting the board, but had the feeling that the dgn donations were going to pay troy's personal bills.

i associate bren with 'weird shit'... 🙃

holy crap, a 'siren' sighting!? good to see you post again!

same...

hey FC, good to see you post again!

welcome to the board!

hey megan, great to see you've signed up here! i enjoyed talking with you at the pop-up - hope you find some interesting topics to join in on the board, and also some events to go to!

I talked with this megan for a while that night, and gave her a dgn card with my user name, so she knows how to find us if she wants. she was really nice - i enjoyed talking with her!

this really was never true, you're just required to be respectful when arguing with someone. common courtesy, really. the problem most people had was that they got angry/disrespectful/insulting when arguing, and that does go against the rules. i've never understood why it was so difficult to grasp this concept? (sorry, not harping on you specifically SG, just venting a frustration!)

wow, he lives! welcome back!

appreciate your input, SG, and the info related to troy's passing. my father went the same way, so i understand to an extent. i have no advice for anyone, more than what you've posted, so thank you for that. i was going to write more, but everything sounds trite. maybe later, if i find the right words...

hey bean!... i mean, not_bean!

hey meg, welcome back!

unless there are two of them, papa pete's is in kalamazoo... (nvmd, i see the title has been changed.)
