Hi fairy,

Harry is right, it should be "Do you know who I am?" :)

and here's a nice little story which I just found on: http://www.humorcube.com/html/Do-You-Know-Who-I-Am.html

It was the final examination for an introductory Biology course at the local university. Like many such freshman courses, it was designed to weed out new students, having over 500 students in the class!

The examination was two hours long, and exam booklets were provided. The professor was very strict and told the class that any exam that was not on his desk in exactly two hours would not be accepted and the student would fail. Half of an hour into the exam, a student came rushing in and asked the professor for an exam booklet.

"You're not going to have time to finish this," the professor stated sarcastically as he handed the student a booklet.

"Yes I will," replied the student. He then took a seat and began writing. After two hours, the professor called for the exams, and the students filed up and handed them in. All except the late student, who continued writing. An hour later, the last student came up to the professor who was sitting at his desk preparing for his next class. He attempted to put his exam on the stack of exam booklets already there.

"No you don't, I'm not going to accept that. It's late."

The student looked incredulous and angry.

"Do you know who I am?"

"No, as a matter of fact I don't," replied the professor with an air of sarcasm in his voice.

"Do you know who I am?" the student asked again in a louder voice.

"No, and I don't care." replied the professor with an air of superiority.

"Good," replied the student, who quickly lifted the stack of completed exams, stuffed his in the middle, and walked out of the room.

:D

Hi Harry and Caitlin :)

I will use quotations, because I'm in a hurry ;)

good (-:
Yes, I hope so, too. :) I think this board is quite good. (-:

Hello fairy,

That's good when you're good at (or "in"?) school. I wasn't good at school. Do you want to do your school-leaving exam or do you want to leave school after 10th grade?

What do you want to be when you school finished?

If these questions are too personal for you to post the answer on the forum then you don't have to answer.

Do you know what I wonder about? Why do you sometimes make your smilies in that way (-: and not in that :-)? You're the first one I see who makes it in that way.

@Caitlin Thanks for your help with the question and I'm a little happy that I was right. :)

Best wishes

Hi you two :)

Well, don't mind ;) I don't want to sound like a show-off, but the truth is, that I'm quite good in school. It's not difficult to (I'm not sure if it's right... or shall I use "for"?!?) me. (-;

What do you want to be when you school finished?

in der Schule sein = to be at/in school

UK I was at school with (= I went to the same school at the same time as) Luke's brother.
Is Emily in school today or is she still ill?
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?key=70349&dict=CALD

gut sein in der Schule = to be good in school or (even more popular) to do good in school

it's not difficult for me

what do you want to do after you finish/leave school?

;)

Hello Caitlin,

At first thanks for your explantion because of this in/at school.

I have a question: You wrote my sentence: "What do you want to be after school?" in that way: "What do you want to do after you finish/leave school?"

I wanted to ask: Was willst du werden nachdem du mit der Schule fertig bist? and in my collins dictionary is written:

was willst du einmal werden? = what do you want to be when you grow up?

Wasn't it right just to change this sentence?

Best wishes

Harry

Caitlin

17.02.2005, 12:54

Hallo Harry,

das "was willst du werden ...?" bezieht sich doch auch im Deutschen hauptsächlich auf die Frage "... wenn du einmal groß bist". Genauso ist es im Englischen. Nach dem Schulabschluss gibt es so viele Möglichkeiten, die man machen kann. Deshalb würde ich den Satz so formulieren: "was willst du tun, wenn du mit der Schule fertig bist?"

Wenn du aber vor allem nach dem Berufswunsch fragen willst, dann kannst du das z.B. so fragen:
"What kind of job do you want to do after you leave school?"
"What career do you plan to follow/pursue after you leave school?"
"What profession are you going to choose after you leave school?"
"Are you going to university after you leave school? - What are you going to major in?"

:)

Hi Harry! :)

At first the smilies: This one ( (-: ) means that I'm left-handed and I like it ;)

I want to get my high school degree and then, well I don't know what I'm going to go then ;) Maybe I'll study or I'll go to England (-:

Some times I wanted to be an actress, I know it's innocent, but it was my dream... well, and now... I'm ot sure about it ;)

Why? Are you left-handed or right-handed? ;)

I'm not, just thought that most software didn't take the left-handed users into consideration, you might have to deal with lots of trivial things when using computer. It's not like writing, you can place your notepad, pen and reference books at anywhere you want. :D

Harry

Thanks Caitlin.

@fairy I'm right-handed as most people. ;)

What about you? What's your job?"

Why do you write it was your dream? Dreams are important, but this is just my opinion.

I haven't found any word for what I am. It is something between an office junior, an office worker and an office administrator. The German word is "Bürokraft or Bürofachkraft" both of these words are right.

Best wishes and a nice evening to everyone who is reading this.

Well, I don't know... I realized, that it's innocent to believe that you can become an actress (and live on it!)
I agree entirely... dreams are very importent and, well, my dream is to go to the UK and live there and, maybe, I'll find a nice and sweet boyfriend :D

Yes, you're right... Is there a "mouse" (is that the word?) for lefties? I have never learned to use a mouse for left-handed persons and I do all the things at the computer with the right hand ;) It was a little rearrengement, but now, after all, it's ok... At school it's a little bit more difficult )-: Sometime I've a pad for left-handed persons because it's better and a pen for lefties ;)

Do you know how many people are left-handen and how many people are right-handed?

I don't know the percentage, I guess it's rather low, less than 1%? ;)
My younger sister is left-handed, well, might be "was", my father forced her to use right hand since her childhood, it's like a long time training. Interestingly, she still uses left hand unconsciously sometimes. She seems to be able to write with both hands quite comfortably.

What do you do as an "Bürofachkraft"

I think and hope you will find the right one to live with and who will put you into good humor. :)

Hmm, what do I do? Let me think, well I do compare offers, write letters and so on. I created different tables with excel within the last 2 or 3 weeks. You know for example a vacation calendar or a table where people can fill in the hours they worked. I know it sounds not especially exciting and not really complicated but you have to work with a lot of formulas which can be really long partly. You need them with it the program can automatically calculate chuch-holidays. You know that are holidays which every year on another day. It's a little complicated, but I like it. :) I can't tell you all of the formulas I used because I don't know all of them anymore. When I see the table again I would know what I would have to do. ;)

If you have any questions more feel free and ask. I don't have one at present anymore.

Hello fairy, Caitlin, and hi hurricane_sh ;)

@fairy: Well, actually it isn't that complicated and actually, I think, it isn't really the work for a Bürofachkraft to create such tables but I like it because it is something special, do you understand? It isn't anything what everyone can do and you also have to be interested in such things otherwise you will turn crazy I think. ;) It isn't just that you're typing in formulas you also have to know how they work, sometimes you have to write a lot of formulas in one cell, too, you know with brackets. When I'm at work on Monday I will copy one of them and show you. It isn't that easy to explain. ;)

@ Caitlin:

Oh, that's good :) I've one question: How can I switch from the German to the American keyboard?

Hi fairy,

that's easy :) at the bottom of your screen on the taskbar (Taskleiste) you can see the symbol "DE" (Deutsch). If you click on it, a small window is shown in which you find "EN - Englisch (USA)". Now, if you click on that, the keyboard automatically changes to the American-style keyboard. Somewhere, there's the option to see the layout of this keyboard but I can't find this option at the moment :o

If you want to have a look at the layout, you can do so here: http://www.classykeyboards.com/datacal/us-international-layout.htm

@Caitlin

Don't you have this symbol just when you use WIN XP? And then you also don't see it in any case. For example me I don't see this symbol because I just use one language and because of that I haven't installed another one.

Best wishes

Harry

Caitlin

20.02.2005, 07:54

Hi Harry,

you're right! Thanks for pointing this out to me!

Ok, here's another way how to do it:

"Start" - "Einstellungen" - "Systemsteuerung" - "Ländereinstellungen/Regions- und Spachoptionen" - "Sprachen" - "Details" - "Englisch (USA)"

hope this isn't too confusing :D

Caitlin

20.02.2005, 10:38

Hello and Good morning :)

I'm sorry, my PC is "ill" ;)
I think it's too old.

Well, it's quite easy, I'll describe you my way :)
"Star" --> "Einstellung" ---> "Systemsteuerung" --> "Tastatur" and then "Sprache"

I can also use a British keyboard :) Caitlin, have you something like that (http://www.classykeyboards.com/datacal/us-international-layout.htm) for a British keyboard?

I thank you very much ;) you two :)
If I want to switch from the German keyboard to the Amercian keyboard I've to do this: "STRG+Umschalt" and then "101" and ready :-))

I'm sorry, I'm very tired and therefore I'll stop now ;)

@ Harry:When I'm at work on Monday I will copy one of them and show you. It isn't that easy to explain.
Thank you ;) It'd be very nice of you :)
@ fairy, have fun cleaning your room. It's just a joke don't missunderstand me.
I didn't missunderstand you :) It was funny but my room isn't clean now :o There are so many magazines on the floor :rolleyes:

Hi fairy,

I found an even better page where the different keyboards are to be found:

http://www.lakefolks.org/cnt/index.htm

As far as I know there's no difference between a British-English and an American-English keyboard http://www.cheesebuerger.net/images/smilie/haushalt/h028.gif

I can turn my keyboard in to an American English keyboard, a British English keyboard, a Jamaica :D English keyboard and so on...

Hello fairy, Caitlin and hurrican_ch,

@ fairy, I'm sorry I couldn't post anything yesterday. Actually I wanted to show you two pictures but they're too big to post them.

But I will nevertheless show you two formulas. I hope I do write them without any mistake.

first one: =(+ZÄHLENWENN(A7:A38;WOCHENTAG(2))+ZÄHLENWENN(A7:A 38;WOCHENTAG(3))+ZÄHLENWENN(A7:A38;WOCHENTAG(4))+Z ÄHLENWENN(A7:A38;WOCHENTAG(5))+ZÄHLENWENN(A7:A38;W OCHENTAG(6)))-(ZÄHLENWENN(B7:B37;$N$2-2)+ZÄHLENWENN(B7:B37;$N$2+1)+ZÄHLENWENN(B7:B37;$N$ 2+39)+ZÄHLENWENN(B7:B37;$N$2+50))-ZÄHLENWENN(M7:M37;1)

This formula does calculate the days of work per month. The first part (this one with "ZÄHLENWENN(A7:A38;WOCHENTAG(2))" it's going to count all days when it is a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. The second part does subtract all holidays which are governed by Easter Sunday (That's another formula which is written in the cell "N2" in my table.) The last part so ZÄHLENWENN(M7:M37;1) does count all number 1 which are in (Spalte (I don't know the word in English) "M". There's another formula which is checking whether there's a holiday like the 1st of January, 1st of May and so on. You know these last two parts are important because nobody wants to go at work on a holiday. ;)

Second one: =WENN(UND(G9>0;ODER(D9="U";E9="U"));G9;WENN(ODER(D9="";E9="";D9="K";E9="K";D9="A";E9="A";"";WENN(UND(E9>=(751/1440);ODER(A9=WOCHENTAG(2);A9=WOCHENTAG(5)));F9+G9 )-(30/1440);F9+G9)))

The main work of this formula is to subtract half an hour when it is or when it is after 12:31 p. m. except Fridays. This 751 = 12:31 p. m. and this 1440 is 1 day, so 24 hours.

Do you have understood my explaination?

Well, these are just 2 formulas but I think you can imagine now how it works.

If you have a question then ask me and I will try to explain it once more or maybe also in another way.

Best wishes

Harry

Thanks for posting it :) I know, I put you to a lot of trouble... ;)

I'm sorry, that I can't write more... but I'm feeling ill :(

See you later,
fairy :)

Hello to everyone,

well, what shall I say? I'm surprised and I also feel a little proud. May I be proud of myself?

I also have to admit that it is really complicated when you just know these two forumlas because you can't really see the connections, for example in that cell "A9" there's the day of the week in it which is also a formula. You know there are 12 ("Spalten" Does anyone know the correct name of this word in English?) and in 8 of them is written a formula, + the calculation of working days, + the calculations of Easter Sunday and + the calculation of the Day of prayer and repentance (these two formulas are not by me. I have found them on the Internet don't ask me for the web-site anymore.) And of course the formula which is checking if there's a holiday like the first of January, first of May and so on.

One of them that I found should work without a mistake until the year 8202. But anyhow it just works for me until the year 2021 and this also just with a little trick which I also don't know anymore it was more or less be chance that I have found this trick. A while ago I found a formula which works correct until the year 2078.

@fairy you didn't put me in trouble. I wish you a speedy recovery.

Oh, I'm sorry... I'm going to do a language trip this year :)

See you later (I've to learn for maths.... :( )

Hello fairy,

How were your teachers at school?

When will you do your language trip this year and will you go in the same city?

May I ask: Who is paying for your language trip? I just ask because I think it's not cheap.

Best wishes

Harry

Hi Harry :)

No, I'm going to go to Oxford this year. My teacher was very nice (an old British lady with a cat ;) --- typical British ;) :) ---)
My parent's are paying for my language trip. Yes, it isn't cheap and I do not feeling well, if my parents are paying for it... I don't know why, but I'm feeling "guilty" ;) Well ^^

Best,
fairy :)

Harry

18.03.2005, 15:26

Hello fairy,

When you really feel guilty, have you ever been thinking about to do anything that your parent's don't have to pay all? So I mean that you do something to earn some money like me I delivered papers when I was still in school so I was able to buy something when I wouldn't have done this I wouldn't have been able to buy the things I bought because I didn't get that much pocket money. I just got 9 DM per month and with the paper thing I had about 140 DM per month. So you see it was a lot more. Of course you won't have that much free time anymore but for this you will have money so you would be able to pay for your language trip by yourself at least a part. There are also other jobs which you can do an earn more. I just wrote it as an example.

Best wishes and I wish you a nice weekend.

Harry

Hi fairy,

there's no need to feel guilty, none at all :)

there's no money better spent the the one spent on the education of one's children ;)

Hello you two,

Have I made myself unpopular with the text I wrote? :(

Hmm, I'm not able to change it anymore. It was just my opinion and I just wanted to give you an advice not to feel guilty anymore.

Well, see you

19.03.2005, 13:14

Hi Harry,

nonono, don't worry :)

you wrote your opinion from a "child's" point of view and I wrote mine from a parent's point of view, that's all. Had I written from a child's point of view I would have said something very similar to what you said.

So, you see? Everything is perfectly alright ;)

19.03.2005, 13:59

Hi Harry :)

Great :) I don't know why... I'd nightmares.... terrible...

See you later,

Harry

20.03.2005, 00:41

Hey fairy,

I know about nightmares, too. I hope you slept much better last night. (I wrote last night because I think you will just read it after you got up on Sunday).

Question: The painter of the picture which you have as User-picture (dunno if it is the right name but I think so) is Jonathon Earl Bowser, isn't he? I'm not sure but I think so because I think I saw this painting on his web site. I don't know whether you already know this site: http://www.jonathonart.com/ if not you should take a look at it. There are great paintings in the galleries. :)

Best wishes

I gave you the link to this page www.deutsche-in-london.de Well, and I'm member of this page ;) And I'm using a picture of Jonathon :) I like his pictures but I'd never known that he's the painter till somebody of this board wrote me and asked me whether I knew him. And know.... I was just looking for a picture... and again :D It's crazy ;) Is Jonathon the English name for "Jonathan"?

With all my love,
fairy :)

Harry

20.03.2005, 09:30

Hello fairy,

that's really funny. I know him since about 4 months a friend of mine showed me some pictures and gave me the link to his web site. :)

I don't know whether is Jonathon the English name for "Jonathan" but it could be maybe. ;)

Best wishes and have a nice day.

Btw. I won't be online for some days.

Hi Harry :)

Well, I haven't been writing for such a long time. I'm really sorry.
How are you? Well, isn't it a beautiful day? I'll go to the library today and I'll borry some books. Does anybody know "Theos Reise"? I got it to my baptism last year. At first I thought: Ouf... Oh no, that's really boring... But, indeed, it's quite interesting.
Well, I do not know what I wanted to write. I hope I'll remember it later...

Love,

Not long to go now until your trip to Oxford, right? I bet you must be really excited.

Hi there :)

No, I don't know "Theo's Reise", who is the author? Is it anyone famous?
Je ne sais pas ;)
Here that's the book: http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/3423128879/302-0968932-5535225
and here
http://www.lernen-heute.de/theos_reise.html
and that's the author:
http://www.beilharz.com/qs/qs-clement.htm

It's a little bit like Sofie's World...I haven't read the whole book (Sofie's World) It's a philosphical book... I've never known that this kind of books could be interesting... I thought "philosophy" argh... no that's not my profession, still it isn't. But I've learned that this kind of literature isn't as boring as I've ever thought :)

Not long to go now until your trip to Oxford, right? I bet you must be really excited.

http://www.mainzelahr.de/smile/liebe/knuddel.gif

Indeed, you're right... it's almost two month... I'm so happy... I could jump in the air everytime I think at it http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/a040.gif ... and I'm, of course, pretty excited... :) I make lists of everything that I mustn't forget... I read books (I got one about Cambridge and Oxford to Easter :) http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/3895616710/qid=1115383903/sr=8-2/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i2_xgl/302-0968932-5535225 )
I'm going to go by plane... I've just flown one time... but I like it...

Do you know "About a boy"? Of course, you know, don't you? I'm reading it at the moment... and I've to read another book (for school :rolleyes:) "Schachnovelle" ... I'll read it this evening... it's just 109 pages :) That's quite short, isn't it? :)
nice to see you. :) I'm okay as far, you? Hi Harry :) Nice to see you as well ;) (that's a new phrase I've learned :D "as well" :D Indeed, I knew it, but I've never used it ;)) I'm really happy and I'm fine :)

I don't know "Theo's Reise" either. I know "Gullivers Reisen" Is it maybe a similiar story? http://www.jadukids.de/personen/pers/gulliver/

No, it's really different. I put some links in this post. If you like, you can look at it ;) There's a description about the story. It's about religious and something like that. My godmother gave it to me because she knows that I'm interested in this kind of stuff.

Aus der Amazon.de-Redaktion
Theo ist ein 14jähriger Teenager, der seine Nase von morgens bis abends in Bücher über ägyptische Götter und griechische Mythen steckt -- wenn er nicht gerade am Computer sitzt und die Rätsel der geheimnisvollen Pythia löst. Eines Tages erfährt er, dass er an einer tödlichen Krankheit leidet. Seine lebensfrohe Tante nimmt das zum Anlass, ihn mit auf eine Weltreise zu nehmen. Es ist eine Reise der ganz besonderen Art: Theo reist nicht einfach zu den typischen Attraktionen für Touristen, sondern zu den wichtigsten Schauplätzen und Zentren der Weltreligionen. In Jerusalem, Rom, Darjeeling, Istanbul, Dakar und anderswo trifft er kompetente Vertreter der unterschiedlichsten Religionsgemeinschaften. Mit Theo können Leserinnen und Leser eintauchen in die Welt des Judentums, des Christentums, des Islams, des Buddhismus, Konfuzianismus, Schamanismus und vielem mehr. Theo stellt kluge und kritische Fragen, die ihn zwar etwas naseweis und altklug erscheinen lassen, doch entspringen sie seiner Sehnsucht, etwas zu finden, an dem er sich wirklich festmachen kann. Mehr und mehr tritt Theo aus der Rolle des distanzierten und reflektierenden Beobachters heraus. Er wird verwickelt in Rituale und findet schließlich auch Zugang zu seinen Gefühlen und seinem Herzen. Die Religionen werden ausgewogen und differenziert dargestellt und einerseits in ihrem historischen Werden, andererseits in ihrem heutigen gesellschaftlichen und politischen Kontext beleuchtet. Das Buch ist ein Panoptikum der Religionen und Kulturen -- unterhaltsam, allgemeinverständlich und kompetent geschrieben. In einer Zeit, in der viele nach tragenden Sinnangeboten suchen, macht Catherine Clément den Versuch, mit Theos Reise im Wirrwarr der Postmoderne durch Information und Wissen über Religion die Qual der Wahl zu erleichtern. Ihr Roman möchte Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene bei ihrer Suche nach Gott unterstützen und eine kritische Urteilsfähigkeit stärken. Die Ähnlichkeit zu Jostein Gaarders Roman ...

Hi you two,

@fairy: hmm, the book seems to be interesting. Actually I don't believe in God but nevertheless it is interesting to read and to watch about it. I'm open for a lot of things because I think everyone shall believe in what she or he wants to and I think in every story is a little bit truth, too. I have watched "Die Zehn Gebote" more than one time and at present I'm reading a book it's called "Memnoch der Teufel" I really like it. It's about a Vampire who mets the Devil and the Devil is telling his story, what he experienced before there was a hell and the reason why God punished him.

Here you can read something more if you want to:

I'm open for a lot of things because I think everyone shall believe in what she or he wants to and I think in every story is a little bit truth, too. Well, indeed, I'm baptised, I had my confirmation and I "belive" in God... but I'm looking, I don't know why, for another religion... It's crazy I know, but there are so many "mistakes" in the Christian faith... I do not know if it's right.... ;)
I have watched "Die Zehn Gebote" more than one time There's a little part in the book and it's about this film :) and at present I'm reading a book it's called "Memnoch der Teufel" I really like it. That's great! :) At the moment my friend is reading it, but if she'll finish it, I'll read it. It sounds really good and I'm waiting impatiently to read this book :)
It's about a Vampire who mets the Devil and the Devil is telling his story, what he experienced before there was a hell and the reason why God punished him.
I like vampires and this stuff ;) I know, they don't exist but I think there's something like that and, indeed, although they don't exist they do exist but not in this kind they're showing in books... It's confusing ;)

It's not the same cover but it's the same book
It's about a boy whose parents got a divorce... well, he meet Will who's really cool. He hears the right music and wears the right things and so on. Will is 36. Well, then after a long time, they become "friends"... But I haven't finished the book yet ;)

Did you read those two stories I posted a while ago? If yes, what do you think about them?
No, I'm sorry. I didn't manage it. I hadn't the time... Then I decided to print it and now they're still lying on my bedside table :rolleyes: But if I'll have the time, I'll read it :) I promise it :)

Hey fairy and Caitlin :)

@fairy

I'm curious, why do say that we're/I'm great?

Why did you write "believe" in quotes? Aren't you sure whether there's really a God?

No, I don't think it's crazy that you are looking for another religion. What do you mean with mistakes? What's "wrong" with the christian faith? What should comprise "your" faith in your opinion. I know that there are many faiths but I dunno the differences between them. What faiths do you know 'till now? Can you tell me the biggest differences between them?

I also know that there are people who just believe in God and don't have a religion. I dunno what this people are called. :confused:

Hmm, when you really interested in Vampires you should read all the books of this Vampire Chronik, Memnoch is the, I think 4th book of 7. The first one is "Interview mit einem Vampir", then "Fürst der Finsternis", "Königin der Verdammten", "Memnoch der Teufel", "Der Vampir Armand", Merrik (I'm not sure with the title here) and "Blut und Gold". I'm not sure but I think most of them you also can buy in English, so not just in German. Oh, I almost forgot the Autor is "Anne Rice"

No, I didn't know that I can change my "Benutzer Titel" but I wouldn't know anonther one either. ;)

Well, I'm going to go to bed now ;)

Yes, there are so many poor people... there's so much trouble, illness, wars and so on on the world. But where's God?

No, I don't think it's crazy that you are looking for another religion. :)
What do you mean with mistakes? What's "wrong" with the christian faith? In the Bible stands that everybody is equal. But what about popes, cardinals and so on? They're not equal...

What should comprise "your" faith in your opinion. I dunno... I think what I'm looking for isn't here on earth ;).
I know that there are many faiths but I dunno the differences between them. What faiths do you know 'till now? I know many... some of them good and some of them not as good as I know the others. If you read "Theo's Reise" you learn to know some interesting religions ;) But there are more than them :) There are some nature religions (Indians, Wicca - witch religion) and so on... I'm no prof at this stuff :) therefore I don't know everything :D
Can you tell me the biggest differences between them?
In my opinion are all the religions similiar :) They've often the same origins, the same customs, festivals and so on. There are polytheism and monotheism religions... Well and the religions took on some things... The greek religion has the rebirth and that took on the Christianity :) You see, they're pretty similiar ;)

I also know that there are people who just believe in God and don't have a religion. I dunno what this people are called. :confused:

Hi Caitlin :)

Thanks http://www.mainzelahr.de/smile/schuechtern/flirt.gif I just read one or two books... well ;)

I'ven seen that picture before... But I don't know where ;) Well... I've one question: I've read Harry Potter very often and there's sometimes this word "dunno" it has the same meaning as "don't know", hasn't it? Is "dunno" informal language or formal language? :)

Love,
fairy :)

Caitlin

07.05.2005, 16:43

"dunno" is definitely informal language :) . On internet, though, it seems to become more and more "formal" language :p

the word "dunno" is slang for "don't know", oldfashioned as I am, I prefer "don't know" :D

Harry

07.05.2005, 17:07

Hey you two :)

Hi Harry :)

Oh no... I wrote such a long text... it's all away :(

Oh, I know that "problem", too. That's why I copy my text before I click on the button to post it. But sometimes I also forget it, then I have to write everything again and it never happened that I write the same, the second text is always shorter.

@fairy

I'm curious, why do say that we're/I'm great?

I dunno :) It's just great to talk to you two :) I like you and Caitlin and it's a pleasure to talk to you :D

That's great, thanks! :) It's also a pleasure to talk to you. :)

Why did you write "believe" in quotes? Aren't you sure whether there's really a God?

Yes, there are so many poor people... there's so much trouble, illness, wars and so on on the world. But where's God?

You really have to read that book. Of course, it's just a book but it sounds like it is true. Maybe you'll also find some answers in it. And of course, I would like to know what do you think about the book after you read it.

Zitat:
What do you mean with mistakes? What's "wrong" with the christian faith?
In the Bible stands that everybody is equal. But what about popes, cardinals and so on? They're not equal...

Hmm, that's true and you also could ask: What's with poor and rich? The space between poor and rich will bigger and bigger and the middle class will completely disappear sooner or later, won't it?

Zitat:
What should comprise "your" faith in your opinion.
I dunno... I think what I'm looking for isn't here on earth ;).

Hmm, but don't you have any idea? I know there are some things you will search for and never find them. Like the meaning of life. I dunno the meaning of life and millions of other people either. In case anyone knows it at all.

I think I'll really read that book "Theo's Reise". I'm anyhow interested in that stuff, although I don't really know why. What do think would it be good to have just one Religion? I mean there "is" one God so why do people have different religions? They all do believe in the same God, don't they?

Zitat:
I also know that there are people who just believe in God and don't have a religion. I dunno what this people are called. :confused:

I'm sorry. I don't know either ;) But if I hear the word, I'll tell it you immediately :)

There's a film with the same name starring with Brad Pitt :)

I know I read the book to the Film. I should tell you something: I read a while ago that you should make a decision either you read the book or watch the movies because there shall be differences between some books and the movie. I don't know it, I just read the books 'till now and I don't think that I want to watch the movies, too. I think it's crazy but I don't want it to because I have pictures in my mind of the people, the places and so on and I like this pictures it I think it would confusing me when all of it would be different.

Thanks for the hint :) I enjoy reading books in English :) It's so much better :) when I'll go to library next week, I'll look for some of these books ;)

When you want to buy them then most of them you should find on Amazon.de. I bought mine there, too. I was reading "Fürst der Finsternis", the English title is "The Vampire Lestat" in English and it wasn't bad but it took me a long, long time to read it. I bought it in English because I couldn't buy it in German, nowhere, everywhere just in English, well and so I bought it in Engish. ;)

Best wishes and have a nice evening. :)

Hi Harry http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/f055.gif & Hi Caitlin http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/f055.gif

Oh, I know that "problem", too. That's why I copy my text before I click on the button to post it. But sometimes I also forget it, then I have to write everything again and it never happened that I write the same, the second text is always shorter.
Yes, I haven't wrote everything which I wrote the 1st time.... I 've just done a false "klick" and everything was away...

That's great, thanks! :) It's also a pleasure to talk to you. :)
Thanks :)

You really have to read that book. Of course, it's just a book but it sounds like it is true. Maybe you'll also find some answers in it. And of course, I would like to know what do you think about the book after you read it.
Do you mean "Memnoch der Teufel"? :)

Hmm, that's true and you also could ask: What's with poor and rich? The space between poor and rich will bigger and bigger and the middle class will completely disappear sooner or later, won't it?
Yes, you're deadly right... I wrote this in my first text and forgot it in the 2nd... ;)

Hmm, but don't you have any idea? I know there are some things you will search for and never find them. Like the meaning of life. I dunno the meaning of life and millions of other people either. In case anyone knows it at all. Yes, but you might find the meaning of your life in a religion :)

I think I'll really read that book "Theo's Reise". I'm anyhow interested in that stuff, although I don't really know why. Yes, do it :) It's really good... well... sometimes you think "oh no - it's boring"... but it's good ;)
What do think would it be good to have just one Religion? I mean there "is" one God so why do people have different religions? They all do believe in the same God, don't they?
Yes, originally there's just one God. Look at the Islam, the Christianity and the Judaism... It's the same God, he's just got other names ;)
But if you want to proselytise other people it's easier if they've a polytheism religion :) Then you can compare the Gods and Goddesses with the other Gods and Goddesses... it's like Zeus and Jupiter :) They're the same... the Romans take on the Gods and gave them other names. You can see it here.
(http://www.mbradtke.de/re002.htm)The first is always Roman and the second is Greek. If there isn't an other expression, they've got the same name.

I know I read the book to the Film. I should tell you something: I read a while ago that you should make a decision either you read the book or watch the movies because there shall be differences between some books and the movie. I don't know it, I just read the books 'till now and I don't think that I want to watch the movies, too. I think it's crazy but I don't want it to because I have pictures in my mind of the people, the places and so on and I like this pictures it I think it would confusing me when all of it would be different.
That's really good, indeed :) If you can imagine this picture and if you realise that you don't want to watch the film, because you'd like to have the pictures in your mind, that's, indeed, very good. Last year was a new film in the cinemas... "The Secret Window (http://www.sonypictures.com/homevideo/secretwindow/index.html)" I've just read the book and haven't been watching the film... And I'm happy about it, because the film is not to be very good. :)

When you want to buy them then most of them you should find on Amazon.de. I bought mine there, too. I was reading "Fürst der Finsternis", the English title is "The Vampire Lestat" in English and it wasn't bad but it took me a long, long time to read it. I bought it in English because I couldn't buy it in German, nowhere, everywhere just in English, well and so I bought it in Engish. ;)
Thanks for the hint :) Well, it remembers me at "Darren Shan" (http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/3426624362/qid=1115536040/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_10_3/302-0968932-5535225)
That's just one book :) But there are many more :) It's also about a vampire and, indeed, quite interesting :)

"dunno" is definitely informal language :) . On internet, though, it seems to become more and more "formal" language :p

the word "dunno" is slang for "don't know", oldfashioned as I am, I prefer "don't know" :D :D Thanks http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/liebe/a010.gif :)

Well, I'll getting breakfast now,
Love,

Hi fairy http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/f055.gif & Hi Caitlin http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/f055.gif

Yes, I haven't wrote everything which I wrote the 1st time.... I 've just done a false "klick" and everything was away...

"haven't written" not "haven't wrote" and write "Klick" with "c" then it's right. ;)

Zitat:
You really have to read that book. Of course, it's just a book but it sounds like it is true. Maybe you'll also find some answers in it. And of course, I would like to know what do you think about the book after you read it.

Yes, I do.

Zitat:

Hmm, I'm not sure but I think you missed the first two questions of mine. What is "polytheism" Never heard, of course I found the translation but I don't know the meaning of the word.

It's interesting to see that people think there're so many Gods, although there "is" just one. They all say, "I believe in God" but in which one? What would they answer when you ask them "Which God do you believe in?" I think they would say. "There's just one God." But what's then with the other Gods? There're so many things that confusing me and this altough I don't believe either the one nor in the other one. Have you ever asked yourself "What's with the other Gods, when there's actually just one?"?

That isn't meant nasty, I hope you believe me this and when I'm going to personal or too far, then just tell me.

It isn't that much today, maybe it will be more the next time again.

Best wishes and have a nice Sunday

Hey you two :)

fairy!!! how can you do that to me!!!!!
:D I'd to look up this word as well. It was some weeks before and I wasn't sure if I wrote it right this time ;) But, indeed, I did :) :D
would you believe it? I had to look this word up Really? Well, indeed it's a really difficult word... my teacher would love it :rolleyes:
"haven't written" not "haven't wrote" and write "Klick" with "c" then it's right.

http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/konfus/n015.gif I thought at two many things.... :o at the same time...

Hmm, I'm not sure but I think you missed the first two questions of mine. What is "polytheism" Never heard, of course I found the translation but I don't know the meaning of the word. Polytheism means that you believe in many God and Goddesses... Not just one ;) If you believe in one God or one Goddess you call that monotheism. Islam and Christianity are monotheism religions and Hinduism and stuff like that are polytheism religions :)

It's interesting to see that people think there're so many Gods, although there "is" just one. They all say, "I believe in God" but in which one? What would they answer when you ask them "Which God do you believe in?" I think they would say. "There's just one God."Yes, they would do it, if they've a monotheism faith. But what's then with the other Gods? Well, if their religion is polytheism they could say that they believe in all these Gods and Goddesses :) But, well, they've a got for everything... a God for the harvest, one for the weather, one for love and so on :) I think, they might be priests for different Gods and Goddesses... They serve just them and no other God... oh no, I'm getting confused... :confused: )
Did you watch Troy? There's a priest which serves one God... she gave her life and all for him... well and then there is a, hum, "King-God" :D He's the one who has the most power... I think, if they don't want something like love and so on, they believe in the "King-God"... but I'm not sure ;)

There're so many things that confusing me and this although I don't believe either the one nor in the other one. Have you ever asked yourself "What's with the other Gods, when there's actually just one?"?
Yes, I did. Well, that's the difference between mono- and polytheism :) If they have a lot of Gods and Godesses, they've one for everything... If they'll have a good harvest, they make sacrifices to this God. I hope I made it a little bit clearer for you ;) Well, it is confusing :)

That isn't meant nasty, I hope you believe me this and when I'm going to personal or too far, then just tell me.

I know and it's ok :) I'll tell you as much as I can and as much as I know :)

http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/verschiedene/a030.gif I wish you two a sunny Sunday :) http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/verschiedene/g015.gif
Love,

Hi you two,

@fairy

Well, most of them is really confusing me, but that's not so bad I've learned something out of it, too. ;)

You said you're looking for a new religion, what's with you, do you think there's just one God or do you think there're a lot of them?

Sorry, but I have to ask you once again because either you have forgotten my questions again or I haven't got your answer :confused: :

What do think would it be good to have just one Religion?
I mean there "is" one God so why do people have different religions?

Thanks for sunny wishes, now it's sunny. :) About an hour ago it was still raining. Hope it's sunny where you live, too.

Best wishes

Harry

Caitlin

08.05.2005, 15:21

I mean there "is" one God so why do people have different religions?

sorry to butt in, dear Harry, but what makes you so sure that there is just one God? :) and ... is he male or is she female? ;)

Harry

08.05.2005, 17:41

Hey Caitlin,

I myself think there's no God, that's also why I don't believe in God but I'm interested in things that other people think, no matter what it is. When anyone can prove me that there is a God or a lot of Gods then I will believe, too. I also would like to see/meet him/her or them that, of course, would be the biggest proof at all. Nothing shows me that ther's also just one God just as nothing shows me that there's one. Maybe that's why I'm interested in this stuff sometimes, maybe I'm looking for a proof. maybe that's the meaning of life, looking for something maybe you'll never find.

What's whit you? Do you believe in God?

Caitlin

08.05.2005, 18:50

what about me? No, I don't believe in God but was raised to believe. Like fairy I was baptised and then went through confirmation but as soon as I was old enough to think clearly ;) I decided that I definitely didn't like the idea of any "him" God ... on the other hand, I didn't much care for a "her" goddess, either :D

and if you'd ask me about the "meaning of life" I'd answer: the meaning of life is life itself

:)

Hello :)

You said you're looking for a new religion, what's with you, do you think there's just one God or do you think there're a lot of them?
That's exactly one point I'm looking for ;) I don't know :) Maybe there are a lot or just one, I do not know :)

Sorry, but I have to ask you once again because either you have forgotten my questions again or I haven't got your answer :confused: :

What do think would it be good to have just one Religion?
I mean there "is" one God so why do people have different religions?

Sorry, I forgot it ;) Well, the 1st thing is, what Caitlin said ( sorry to butt in, dear Harry, but what makes you so sure that there is just one God? :) and ... is he male or is she female? ;) ) and the 2nd thing is: I don't know if it's good to have just one religion... I'm trying to find it out... I mean it's maybe better to have just one, because then there's no risk to mix them up but on the other hand it's maybe better if you've two religions, because then you can find something that you miss in the 1st religion in the 2nd one :) I'm grown up, well, "religion-bilingual" :) There are no really deep differents between the two "religions" because they're both Christianity... Catholic (my daddy) and Protestan (Evangelic) (my mummy :)) :)

Thanks for sunny wishes, now it's sunny. :) About an hour ago it was still raining. Hope it's sunny where you live, too.
Here in Soltau it's raining an sometimes sunny... I thought April is all over :confused: :D

and if you'd ask me about the "meaning of life" I'd answer: the meaning of life is life itself
That's really good indeed :)

It's like talking about the sense of life. :) (or is it the same?)
I've found one of Nelly: and if you'd ask me about the "meaning of life" I'd answer: the meaning of life is life itself
Well, it's just the attitude, isn't it? Somebody thinks the sense of his life is being a monk and somebody else thinks it's his sense of life to be a multimillionaire and some other people think like Nelly and for some other people the sense of life or meaning of life is how Caitlin said it :)

Sometimes I think Gods and Goddesses are just made for people to cling to something... well, they do their work ;)

-----------------------------------------------
Another theme: You know, I'll go to Oxford ;) And, while I'm being there, Harry Potter 6 is going to be published. Do you're going to buy it? Or does this not interest you at all? I've found a article about this theme (well, it's not exactly about Harry Potter's publishing, but it deals with it, a little bit :))

http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/newsid_4470000/newsid_4474000/4474039.stm

09.05.2005, 18:46

Hey you two,

@fairy The sense of life = the meaning of life and maybe I'm wrong but I think the meaning of life is the right expression.

No, I'm not interested in Harry Potter, so I won't buy it either. Have you read all books about him?

I have finished "Memnoch der Teufel" today. Now I have to buy the next one. In the meantime I'm going to read "The boy who lost his face" by Louis Sachar. He also wrote "There's a boy in the girls bathroom" and I like the book. :) It's also written in easy English. :D

Have you ever been in the Heidepark? Do you like carousels?

Hey you two :)

@fairy The sense of life = the meaning of life and maybe I'm wrong but I think the meaning of life is the right expression.
Yes, I think so two, but I wasn't sure, therefore I wrote sense of life...:) But I mean the same :)

No, I'm not interested in Harry Potter, so I won't buy it either. Have you read all books about him?
Yes, in English and German :) Have you never read any Harry Potter book? Well, they make a song and dance about it, but it's a fantastic book :)
In the meantime I'm going to read "The boy who lost his face" by Louis Sachar. He also wrote "There's a boy in the girls bathroom" and I like the book. :) It's also written in easy English. :D
I've never read one book of him, but I guess I've heard of him http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/konfus/c010.gif

Have you ever been in the Heidepark? Do you like carousels?

Oh yes, of course. It's just 2-5 minutes away ;) At the 1st time their are really funny bunny but after a while you are tired of it ;) And you? Have you ever been in such kind of theme park? :)

I think you made a small mistake :) when you quoted "Nelly":
Yes, I did. I forgot to copy the quotation. http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/konfus/n015.gif Here it is:

I used to think that life has got a plan for me, until I realised that life had to be planned by me
and, by the way, who is Nelly? I'm not really sure ;) I wrote this quotation in another board... Maybe it's from this Nelly (http://lexikon.freenet.de/Nelly_Furtado) or from Nelly Furtado (http://lexikon.freenet.de/Nelly_Furtado)

hey! you can queue up with all the others in front of a bookstore, hours (if not days :D before) and then make the big rush for one of those precious volumes ... an event you can tell your grandchildren about one day http://www.mainzelahr.de/smile/unsortierbar/whis_omma.gif;) :D :D Maybe I'll try it :D When I'll be back, I'll tell you what happened :)

Hey Caitlin, hey fairy,

Yes, I think so two, but I wasn't sure, therefore I wrote sense of life...:) But I mean the same :)

You have made a little mistake. I hope you don't mind that I tell you. It's not "I think so two", but "I think so too".

Yes, in English and German :) Have you never read any Harry Potter book? Well, they make a song and dance about it, but it's a fantastic book :)

That's right, I have never read a book about Harry Potter.
Hmm, how do I have to understand that: "Well, they make ..." What's the answer for? The sentence doesn't really make sense to me. :confused:

I've never read one book of him, but I guess I've heard of him http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/konfus/c010.gif

Do you know "Holes" it's written by him, too. Some pupils are even reading it at school, maybe you you did it too.

Oh yes, of course. It's just 2-5 minutes away ;) At the 1st time their are really funny bunny but after a while you are tired of it ;) And you? Have you ever been in such kind of theme park? :)

"their are"? Shouldn't it be "there it is"?

Nope, I wasn't. About 13 years ago, when I was in school we wanted to do a class outing and going to the Heidepark but at the end we haven't, because there was no parent who had time to go along with us. And now, I don't really like carousels and something like that anymore. It's almost too much for me to see it on TV or when other drive (?) on carousels, then I get such a weird feeling in the stomach. :D

This is the 100st (I'm not sure if the "st" is correct :confused: ) post (or better said response) in this thread http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/a040.gif

You have made a little mistake. I hope you don't mind that I tell you. It's not "I think so two", but "I think so too".
I'd never mind ;) I hate my slips of the pen... http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/konfus/a090.gif ;)

That's right, I have never read a book about Harry Potter.
You've to read one! :)

Hmm, how do I have to understand that: "Well, they make ..." What's the answer for? The sentence doesn't really make sense to me. :confused:
There's a lot of ballyhoo about it... Of course, it's a fantastic book... but the "Pottermania"... If you ask me, it's a little bit exaggerated... ;)

Do you know "Holes" it's written by him, too. Some pupils are even reading it at school, maybe you you did it too.
No, I've never heard about it... At school we've just read "Love me blindely", "Death End for Murder" and another book. Therefore I read a lot of English books at home. :)

"their are"? Shouldn't it be "there it is"? Oh that's one of my slips' of pen... I don't know why I wrote "bunny" http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/konfus/c010.gif but actually I wanted to say that they are really funny at the first time, but after a while you're tired of it ;)

Hey fairy,

It seems that we're alone for some days.

I wonder whether you have also noticed that there are some topics away in the section "Klatsch und Tratsch"?

And I wonder where they are? Is anybody able to answer this?

This is the 100st (I'm not sure if the "st" is correct :confused: ) post (or better said
response) in this thread http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/a040.gif
It is "100th". I looked up in my dictionary.

I'd never mind ;) I hate my slips of the pen... http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/konfus/a090.gif ;)

Where did you get this expression "slip of the pen" from? I just ask because I haven't found a "good" translation" for it yet and I would like to know what really it means. :D

What's the best book about Harry Potter in your opinion?

There's a lot of ballyhoo about it... Of course, it's a fantastic book... but the "Pottermania"... If you ask me, it's a little bit exaggerated... ;)

Oh, okay, now I understand it. Well it is like it is with other things, too. Look, I just read today, oh no, yesterday ;), there are people who are waiting for the premiere of Star Wars Episode III for about 500 hours and that one is the third in the row. You can read it here: http://focus.msn.de/hps/fol/newsausgabe/newsausgabe.htm?id=14462

I dunno, but I don't think I would ever do that.

No, I've never heard about it... At school we've just read "Love me blindely", "Death End for Murder" and another book. Therefore I read a lot of English books at home. :)

Here you can read something about "Holes"

http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/0440414806/qid=1115851590/sr=8-1/ref=pd_ka_0/302-6602145-0119247

He's a good autor in my opinion and the books are really good above all for people who learn English because they are easy written, so you don't have to look up for every second word. ;) For you they could to be too easy, though. ;)

Do you borrow all of your books in the library or do you buy some, too?

This feeling in you stomach is the "thrill" :) I like it :) But after a while it's too much and I need a breather :)

No, no, it's more that I feel ill just by look on it. ;)

I dunno, but I don't think I would ever do that. :D

Here you can read something about "Holes"

http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/0440414806/qid=1115851590/sr=8-1/ref=pd_ka_0/302-6602145-0119247

He's a good autor in my opinion and the books are really good above all for people who learn English because they are easy written, so you don't have to look up for every second word. ;) For you they could to be too easy, though. ;)[/quote] Thanks for the link :) I'll look for this book in the library tomorrow.

Do you borrow all of your books in the library or do you buy some, too?
I borrow the most, but I buy some as well. It's just cheaper to borrow them ;) :)

No, no, it's more that I feel ill just by look on it. ;)
That's not good ;) I was scared of Colossos, but some of muy friends plead with me.... :rolleyes::eek::( Well, it was an experience ;)

See you later (I've promised my little sister to watch a movie with her... )

Thanks for telling me. :) I was already kinda frightened because I thouhgt the topics would be deleted.

Zitat:

It is "100th". I looked up in my dictionary.

Thanks :) http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/liebe/a066.gif

*blush* no problem :)

Zitat:
Where did you get this expression "slip of the pen" from? I just ask because I haven't found a "good" translation" for it yet and I would like to know what really it means. :D

:D I got in from leo (http://dict.leo.org/?lp=ende&lang=de&searchLoc=0&cmpType=relaxed&relink=on&sectHdr=on&spellToler=std&search=Fl%FCchtigkeitsfehler) :)

Thanks. I thought of some German words but not of "Flüchtigkeitsfehler". Sometimes it's really weird there is one German word and as in this case 4 English words to express one and the same thing. :D

I borrow the most, but I buy some as well. It's just cheaper to borrow them ;) :)

I couldn't borrow books, because it took me too long to read a book. Like "Memnoch der Teufel" it took me about 2 months because either I didn't have time or just didn't have pleasure to read. So, it's better for me to buy them then I read when I want to. ;)

See you later (I've promised my little sister to watch a movie with her... )

Which movie did you watch?

I'm quite quick in reading books... Last week we had a long weekend (Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday...) I read 3 or 4 books... I don't now... at the moment I'm really a bookworm :rolleyes:

Which movie did you watch?
We watched "Dude, Where's my car (http://www.foxhome.com/dude/)?" (We watched it in German because I've recorded the film... in German it's "Ey Mann, wo is' mein Auto?") (here's a link (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0242423/)). My sister likes it. It's a film about two boys who forgott what they did last night... Each of one has a girlfriend (who are sisters) and their centanary is at the next day. Well, they've of course presents... but the gifts are in the car - and the car is away... On the search of the car they find out what happened last night... it's a comedy :)

Now I've to go... I'm going to have a shower because I'm so tired...

3 or 4 books? I can't imagine that. How many pages have had the books? Well, althrough the number of pages doesn't really mean anything because it's also a difference in which type size it is printed. For example the books from the Vampire Chronic are written in a type size of about Arial 9 and "Dogs don't tell Jokes" (it's the book that I'm reading at present) is written in about Arial 12. So with a bigger type size you will read more pages in the same time. ;)

I just thought of it, I forgot to list a book from the Vampire Chronicle "Nachtmahr" That's the book before "Memnoch der Teufel".

We watched "Dude, Where's my car (http://www.foxhome.com/dude/)?" (We watched it in German because I've recorded the film... in German it's "Ey Mann, wo is' mein Auto?")

Don't you mean "anniversary" instead of "centanary"? And bye the way I haven't found the word either. I just found "centenary" but I don't think that you really mean that word, do you?

Each of one?? I'm quite sure that it should be called "Each of them", shouldn't it?

I watched the trailer and it seemed to funny. :D Do you watch a lot of movies in English? I try to watch every movie in English some with and some without (English)subtitles. How about you, with or without subtitles?

Now I've to go... I'm going to have a shower because I'm so tired...

You should sleep more at night. ;)

by the way, you and Harry had been talking about the two expressions "meaning of life" and "sense of life", right? I meant to tell you then already that I did some google-search about these two. Here's what google came up with:

"meaning of life" = 943.000 results
"sense of life" = 158.000 results

and just to please myself ;) I also looked for:

"meaning in life" = 110.000 results
"sense in life" = 701 results

anyway, "sense of life" seems to be a pretty common expression, as well :)

Hi Harry :)

3 or 4 books? I can't imagine that. How many pages have had the books?
The 1st one... nearly 400 ... the 2nd one... mh... wait a minute... 250 and the 3rd and 4th one 200 pages together (I guess... I'm not sure with the last two ones ;))
Or, wait, it migh be that I've changed something... I'm not sure if one of them was Harry Potter, because then it's not 250 but nearly 400 :) In English, of course ;)
Well, althrough the number of pages doesn't really mean anything because it's also a difference in which type size it is printed. For example the books from the Vampire Chronic are written in a type size of about Arial 9 and "Dogs don't tell Jokes" (it's the book that I'm reading at present) is written in about Arial 12. So with a bigger type size you will read more pages in the same time. ;)
Yes, that's right :) But in my experience the English books have a very small size of letters :)

I just thought of it, I forgot to list a book from the Vampire Chronicle "Nachtmahr" That's the book before "Memnoch der Teufel". :)

Don't you mean "anniversary" instead of "centanary"? And bye the way I haven't found the word either. I just found "centenary" but I don't think that you really mean that word, do you?
I wasn't sure which I should take... ;) I mean "Jahrestag" and "centanary" has a tiping error, of course... I disliked "anniversary" because it's quite similiar with the French word "l'anniversaire" and that means "birthday" ;)

Each of one?? I'm quite sure that it should be called "Each of them", shouldn't it? Yes, of course... slip of my pen... :eek: :D Je déteste ça!

I watched the trailer and it seemed to funny. :D Indeed, it's funny :D
Do you watch a lot of movies in English? I try to watch every movie in English some with and some without (English)subtitles. How about you, with or without subtitles? I try to watch every film in English but my sister dislikes it... :rolleyes: At the beginning I watched every film with subtitles but now not any more ;)

You should sleep more at night. ;)
:D I know :) But I cannot sleep... I don't know why... ;)

Did I tell you, that they haven't got "Holes" in the library? Instead of this book I've found one by Agatha Christie :)

Hey fairy, hey Caitlin,

@fairy

That's really a lot what you was reading during that few days. I finished "Dog's don't tell jokes" yesterday. It wasn't as good as the other books which I read by Louis Scharr (maybe it's spelled wrong)

Well but "centenary" means "Hunderster Jahrestag", doesn't it?

Je déteste ça!
What are you talking about?

No "Holes" in the labrary? Hmm, who knows, hope you will enjoy the other book you have found. ;)

Oh, that's really interesting :) What would we do without google? :D

Hi Harry :)

I finished "Dog's don't tell jokes" yesterday. It wasn't as good as the other books which I read by Louis Scharr (maybe it's spelled wrong) I've read two other books yesterday... I thought they're scary or maybe horrible... but nothing of this... they were booooooooring ;)

Well but "centenary" means "Hunderster Jahrestag", doesn't it?
I don't know ;) Look here
http://dict.leo.org/?lp=ende&lang=de&searchLoc=0&cmpType=relaxed&relink=on&sectHdr=on&spellToler=std&search=jahrestag
Oh yes... look here to see what it also means: http://dict.leo.org/se?lp=ende&p=/Mn4k.&search=centenary

What are you talking about? It's French ;) Je = I - déteste comes from the verb "désteter" (hate) and means "hate" - "ça" means "this/that" -> I hate this :D

No "Holes" in the labrary? Hmm, who knows, hope you will enjoy the other book you have found. ;)
I hope so as well :) I'll read it this evening :)

I would do the same as I do now, too. :D
:D And what are you doing now? :) How do you find to the "BB"? Through google? ;)

Zitat:

I don't know ;) Look here
http://dict.leo.org/?lp=ende&lang=d...earch=jahrestag (http://dict.leo.org/?lp=ende&lang=de&searchLoc=0&cmpType=relaxed&relink=on&sectHdr=on&spellToler=std&search=jahrestag)
Oh yes... look here to see what it also means: http://dict.leo.org/se?lp=ende&p=/M...earch=centenary

That's very confusing. When someone talks to you about a couple, how do you that it isn't their "hundertster Jahrestag"? I mean nothing is impossible because as far as I know the oldest person was 124 years old.

:D And what are you doing now? :) How do you find to the "BB"? Through google? ;)

Well, actually I meant it because of looking up words. I'm using my Collins Dictionary. I didn't find the "BB" by Google. ;) It was by chance when I was on the main page (forgot the name of the page)

Hi fairy, hi Harry :)

We watched "Dude, Where's my car (http://www.foxhome.com/dude/)?" (We watched it in German because I've recorded the film... in German it's "Ey Mann, wo is' mein Auto?") (here's a link (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0242423/)). My sister likes it. It's a film about two boys who forgott what they did last night... Each of one has a girlfriend (who are sisters) and their centanary is at the next day. Well, they've of course presents... but the gifts are in the car - and the car is away... On the search of the car they find out what happened last night... it's a comedy :)

Cambridge dictionary:
centenary
noun [C] (US USUALLY AND AUSTRALIAN ENGLISH ALSO centennial)
(the day or year that is) 100 years after an important event; the 100th annniversary
centenary celebrations
Next year is the centenary of her death.

Webster dictionary:
1. \Cen"te*na*ry\, a. [L. centenarius, fr. centum a
hundred.]
1. Relating to, or consisting of, a hundred.
2. Occurring once in every hundred years; centennial.
``Centenary solemnities.'' --Fuller.
2. \Cen"te*na*ry\, n.; pl. {Centenaries}.
1. The aggregate of a hundred single things; specifically, a
century. ``Every centenary of years.'' --Hakewill.
2. A commemoration or celebration of an event which occurred
a hundred years before.

as “centenary” comes from the Latin word “centenarius” = “hundred” it has to be something with „hundred“

therefore, dear fairy, in your sentence the word "anniversary" would have been the right one to use :)

I wasn't sure which I should take... ;)I mean "Jahrestag" and "centanary" has a tiping error, of course... I disliked "anniversary" because it's quite similiar with the French word "l'anniversaire" and that means "birthday" ;)

the pronounciation is quite different, though :D

Hi Harry :)

No, but I've got the book in my bookshelf ;) But I've never read it :rolleyes:
Maybe I'll go to the cinema this summer :)
Do you know Kingdom of Heaven? I saw it yesterday. It's a really interesting film :)
Well, I wrote you that I was going to see a DvD - it was "Fight Club" - it's a quite intersting story and it's interesting as well how someone feels who is two persons in only one person ;)
I know, this film is not for people who are younger than 18 but I don't understand this (in this case). This movie is not really brutal or bestial - I've seen some films which are more bestial and scary than this one and which are till 16. :rolleyes:
I just want to tell it to you :)

Love,

25.05.2005, 10:51

Hey fairy,

I have bought the book about 1 and a half year ago and started to read it 4 days ago. ;) It's also in English so it takes me some time more to read it but it seems to be interesting. :)

I'm not sure whether I have seen "Fight Club" once. Do you like martial art movies?

I think, I found a little mistake: "... are more bestial and scary than this one and which are till 16. "

You, of course, mean from 16 up, don't you? I mean, it would be weird when someone tells you: "You are 17, so you are too old to watch this movie." :D

Best wishes and have still a nice day. :)

I've only got it in German... Do you know what? I've found some English books in a book shop in my town! :) I've never thought that they've some!

I'm not sure whether I have seen "Fight Club" once. Do you like martial art movies? Nope. In my opinion Fight Club ist no martial (I suppose that you mean with "martial"-"kriegerisch", don't you?) film. It's an psychological film. ;)

I think, I found a little mistake: "... are more bestial and scary than this one and which are till 16. "

Hey fairy,

I don't know how big the book shop is where you found some English books but I think each major book shop does have some of them.

No, I mean "Kampfsport" with "martial art".

I'm surprised I thought "Fight Club" would be a movie about a Karate fighter or something like that.

I have never heard about "Kirchentagsferien". I just know "Pfingstferien". Is it the same maybe?

Hi Harry :)

I don't know how big the book shop is where you found some English books but I think each major book shop does have some of them.
The book shop isn't pretty large and therefore it's just a shelf (I mean "Regalbrett" ;)) with English books :)

No, I mean "Kampfsport" with "martial art".
[quote] Oh, I see. :)
[quote]
I'm surprised I thought "Fight Club" would be a movie about a Karate fighter or something like that.
Oh no... Well, there's a guy, Tyler Durden/ Jack (they are the same person but that turns out at the end ;)), and he founds "Fight Club"... Well, Jack thinks that Tyler founds it but of course he is Tyler and therefore he founds "Fight Club". Tyler is doing a lot of crazy things, of course Jack does this things... It's a little bit confusing...
The sense of Fight Club is to knock each other around... crazy, isn't it?
Well, indeed, it's no really great or fantastic film as a film (there are much more films who are better ;)) but it's really interesting how it is for a person who is two persons in only one single person and realises it :)
I have never heard about "Kirchentagsferien". I just know "Pfingstferien". Is it the same maybe? Yes and no :) I had holidays on Whit Monday and now because of the "Kirchentag" in Hannover ;) I know it's complicated to explain therefore I looked for a link: http://www.weser-ems-bus.de/Kirchentagsferien_beachten.html

P.p.S.: I know, the link is very very bad... But I couln't found a better one :(

Good morning fairy, :)

The book shop isn't pretty large and therefore it's just a shelf (I mean "Regalbrett" ;)) with English books :)

Hmm, when it would be a "Regal" than it would called "shelves", wouldn't it? I'm not sure. :confused:

This movie "Fight Club" seems really to be confusing. :D

P.p.S.: I know, the link is very very bad... But I couln't found a better one :(

That's not meant nasty: You couldn't find a better link? I can't believe because I thought you would like to google. ;)

Try this link: http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&q=Kirchentag&meta=

Do you like Charmed? I watched it earlier when Shannen Doherty (Prue) still was acting in it. I dunno but anyhow it isn't the same without her anymore. That's why I stopped watching it.

Hmm, well, that's for now.

hey fairy,

That's confusing again, why does "shelf" mean "Regal" and "Regalbrett"? In my opinion it isn't the same, is it?
Because a "Regalbrett" is only a part of a "Regal". Hmm, maybe there's another word for "Regalbrett" when it is only a part of a "Regal". Maybe Catilin does have an answer/idea when she will be there again.

I just watch Charmed sometimes... I haven't got the time ;) But Prue was just in the team form the 1st till the 3rd season and then came Paige, doesn't she?

Yep, I just read that Paige was in from the 4th season. If you're interested: http://www.charmed.de/ I dunno whether they have an official web site, too. I haven't found one yet.

Hi Harry :)

That's confusing again, why does "shelf" mean "Regal" and "Regalbrett"? In my opinion it isn't the same, is it? Yes, of course, it is. You are right ;) Therefore I wrote that I meant "Regalbrett" and not "Regal" ;)

Because a "Regalbrett" is only a part of a "Regal". Hmm, maybe there's another word for "Regalbrett" when it is only a part of a "Regal". Maybe Catilin does have an answer/idea when she will be there again.

Yeah, that would be wonderful :)

Yep, I just read that Paige was in from the 4th season. If you're interested: http://www.charmed.de/ I dunno whether they have an official web site, too. I haven't found one yet.

Thanks for the link :) Isn't this the official one?

No, I didn't know that song. I haven't understood everything but what I've understood was funny. :D Thanks for the link. :)
You're welcome :) It's pretty good :D I like this kind of music - sometimes :D

I haven't read everything that's one that web site http://www.kirchentag.de/
I don't really know how to ask, neither in German nor in English. ;) Because I don't really have an idea how it is there.
Well, I try it and hope you understand what I want to know: Do you want to go to one or to several events?
No, I don't think so... (well- actually yes but I'm busy and I've nobody who'd like to with me to one of this events ;) ) I've never been there.... But maybe it'd be really funny :)

Thank you very much! :) Yes, it's a very sunny and hot day. I think it is about 25 degrees at present.
Here are 28 degrees :D

I'm really sorry, but I've to go now... I've to do some stuff for biology :rolleyes:

You're welcome. No it isn't the official. I just looked up once again and have found the answer in the "Impressum". http://www.charmed.de/impressum.shtml

Hmm, I'm really soory to hear that you have nobody who likes to go with you to one of those events. Well, maybe you will still find someone. Good luck by that.

I would don't like to do something for school when I have vacation. ;) Is it something interesting, at least?

Have a nice evening.

Oh, I see :)

Hmm, I'm really soory to hear that you have nobody who likes to go with you to one of those events. Well, maybe you will still find someone. Good luck by that.
Thanks :) But I do not think that I'll find someone because it's over tomorrow or on Sunday...

I would don't like to do something for school when I have vacation. ;) Me too ;)
Is it something interesting, at least? No... it's stupid boring... "Polynomdivision", "quadr. Un/Gleichungen" for maths and for biology: "Chromosomen", "Diabetes" and so on... :o

See you tomorrow :)

Hi Harry, hi fairy :)

I'm back again http://www.mainzelahr.de/smile/huepfend/001.gif

:D

That's confusing again, why does "shelf" mean "Regal" and "Regalbrett"? In my opinion it isn't the same, is it?
Because a "Regalbrett" is only a part of a "Regal". Hmm, maybe there's another word for "Regalbrett" when it is only a part of a "Regal". Maybe Catilin does have an answer/idea when she will be there again.

it's like this:

one shelf of books/one bookshelf = (Bücher-)Regalbrett
(many) shelves of books/(many) bookshelves = Bücherregal

Cambridge dictionary has the following examplary sentence:
"One wall had shelves from floor to ceiling, crammed with books."
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?key=72666&dict=CALD

so, if you want to say "Regalbrett" you have to say "one bookshelf/one shelf of books"

the word for "Bücherregal" is bookcase (this can be a Bücherregal or a Bücherschrank)

now I have to do some http://www.mainzelahr.de/smile/haushalt/waesche.gif http://www.mainzelahr.de/smile/haushalt/buegeln.gif http://www.mainzelahr.de/smile/haushalt/einkaufen.gif

I dislike this stupid travel business... I'm not going to Oxford because there weren't enough people for the "Intensivkurs" ... It's just possible to attend the "Abiturkurs" (but I'm too young...) in Oxford this summer... Well and they had just an "International Intensiv Kurs" in Brighton... (because all the other courses went like hot cakes...) Well... and therefore I'm not going to Oxford but to Brighton ;) Well ... I've read and heard a lot of nice things about Brighton and I'm sure that I'll go to Oxford somewhere along the way....

Hey fairy,

Do you know "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams?

The movie to the book shall be in the movie theatre in summer this year. If I remember right in July.

Best wishes and have still a nice day.

Harry

I have to correct myself ;)

I just found that:

Per Anhalter durch die Galaxis
Ab 9. Juni 2005 im Kino

http://www.rtv.de/images/blind.gif
Waaas, Sie haben Douglas Adams' "Per Anhalter durch die Galaxis" nicht gelesen? Hinsetzen, nachholen! Das alberne Machwerk wurde 15 Millionen Mal verkauft und ist eine Art moderner Klassiker.

Ursprünglich als Hörspiel (1978) entstanden, presste Adams das Ganze auf Verleger-Empfehlung hin 1979 zwischen zwei Buchdeckel. Schnell fand sich eine wachsende Fangemeinde, für die er bis 1992 noch vier Fortsetzungen nachlegte.

Bereits 1981 kam es zu einer ersten (BBC-)Verfilmung des wahnwitzigen SF-Romans; der Mehrteiler wurde auch gelegentlich in Deutschland ausgestrahlt. Es handelte sich jedoch mehr oder weniger um eine Low-Budget-Produktion, bei der die Special Effects aus Gummiköpfen und sichtbaren Nylonfäden bestanden. Eine Verfilmung nur für Liebhaber, sozusagen.

Der aktuelle Kinofilm hingegen dürfte auch "Laien" ansprechen. Am Drehbuch war (bis zu seinem Tod 2001) Douglas Adams selbst beteiligt, die Fortführung überließ man Karey Kirkpatrick, Autor des komischen Trickfilms "Chicken Run" (2000). Die Produzenten einigten sich darauf, möglichst wenige der bizarren Gestalten am Computer animieren zu lassen und verließen sich statt dessen auf die Magie "echter" Lebewesen aus Jim Hensons Werkststätten.

Worum es geht, kann man eigentlich nicht in einem kurzen Artikel beschreiben, doch hier ein paar Sätze zum Inhalt: Arthur Dent (Martin Freeman), ein durchschnittlicher Brite, muss eines Morgens feststellen, dass sein Haus zu Gunsten einer Umgehungsstraße abgerissen wird. Zugleich outet sich sein bester Kumpel, ein arbeitsloser Schauspieler mit dem merkwürdigen Namen Ford Prefect (Mos Def), als Außerirdischer, der die Erde dringend verlassen will.

Grund: Unser Planet muss einer galaktischen Umgehungsstraße weichen und wird daher vernichtet. Zum Glück kennt sich Ford - schon von Berufs wegen - mit der Reise per Anhalter aus und schafft es, in letzter Minute gemeinsam mit Arthur ausgerechnet von dem Raumschiff mitgenommen zu werden, das mit der Zerstörung der Erde beauftragt ist.

Leider gehören die Raumschiffler zum kaltherzigen Volk der Vogonen, und die beiden Kumpels sind innerhalb kürzester Zeit gezwungen, sich ein anderes Transportmittel zu suchen - und das mitten in der unendlichen Weite des Weltraums.

Das ist nur der Anfang einer verrückten Reise durch Zeiten und Galaxien, in deren Verlauf ein depressiver Roboter, der kriminelle und zweiköpfige Präsident der Galaxie sowie ein Reiseführer durchs All und das tröstliche Fazit "Don't Panic!" eine große Rolle spielen...

Hey fairy,

It's me again.

So your vacation official starts on July 14th. Then this sentence "Well, and at the 9th of July I'm not going to have holidays" anyhow makes me even more confuse. Because it sounds to me like all the others are going to have vaction on July 9th except of you, your Land of the Federal Republic of Germany.

Am I too old to understand this? ;)

13.06.2005, 18:57

Hey fairy,

Ah, now, I really know what you mean and makes sense to me, too.

It wouldn't make any difference when you would have vacation on July 9th, because the movie is already in the movie theater since last Thursday June 9th. ;) You mixed up the months.

But, yes, I still want to move to Canada, though, it will take some years before I can do that because I still need 4 years of work experience, in a job that definite standards fulfil and I also have to improve my English. ;) But I dunno what will happen during that time either so it also can happen that I have to change my plan to emigrate to Canada. Nobody really knows what the future is holding for them.

Best wishes and have a nice Sunday

Yep, it's an old post but that's nonsense... I think it's pretty interesting ;) :D

Nobody really knows what the future is holding for them. Exactly! Nobody knows what will happen but I'd be pleased for you if you'd emigrate because I thinks it's pretty good :) Why do you want to emigrate to Canada? What's the special thing? Why do you choose Canada and not Australia, the UK, New Zealand, the USA,...? :)

Hey fairy,

Yep, it's an old post but that's nonsense... I think it's pretty interesting ;) :D

nonsense??
Shouldn't it better something like that: but that doesn't matter/ but that doesn't make any difference?? Because, I think "Unsinn", "dummes Zeug", "Quatch" and so on doesn't really fit.

Exactly! Nobody knows what will happen but I'd be pleased for you if you'd emigrate because I thinks it's pretty good :) Why do you want to emigrate to Canada? What's the special thing? Why do you choose Canada and not Australia, the UK, New Zealand, the USA,...? :)

You'll laugh because when I was about 12 I was dreaming of emigrate to Australia but their conditions are/were unattainable for a normal mortal. ;)

Hmm, don't get mad at me but I can't really tell you why I have choosed Canada because I think some of the reasons aren't that good and the reasons which are good I don't know whether they still will exist in a few years such as that their economic upswing, the solidarity between people. You know most of I only read and I don't know whether that's true. That's why I also want to go to Canada for a "short" time, 1 year, or so to see like it really is there. Maybe I will find a canadian-company that I can work for here in Germany and which is make possible to work in Canada, too. I think that really would be great. But with my luck that never will happen. I would be lucky to find a "good" job at all.

Best wishes

:D :D
England as England's fantastic but my organization... No, I'd never travel anytime again with "ef" because there were too much stupid things... like my Pakistani hostfamily who doesn't speak English well - it was awful!
And Portugal - it's a fantastic country - very sunny and the Portugese are crazy people :) - and very, very nice! I mean, would you ever tile your house or a church inside? And I was at the end of the world
(http://www.fotoreiseberichte.de/algarve/algarve_cabovicente.htm)and the town where our hotel was is this town. (http://www.fotoreiseberichte.de/algarve/algarve_olhos.htm)
how was Brighton? http://www.mainzelahr.de/smile/froehlich/freu.gif
Brighton as Brighton was so wonderful - you can see so much things. And near Brighton's a village where's the house of the jungel book author. But the English youth is a "little bit" xenophobic in Brighton...

toooooooooo bad http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/traurig/c020.gif

And if you read this, you'll see me again :) How were your "holidays"? (I'm not sure whether it were holidays or not ;))

http://www.mysmilie.de/smilies/lieb/23.gif:D

The Pakistani hostfamily wasn't that good. I mean, they made so many mistakes, they couldn't they the "th" - and that'd be British culture? No, I don't think so. They were nice, of course, but I went to England to learn more about the British culture and not to learn something about the Pakistani's.
Oh, I nearly forgot it. Do you know the Pride Parade? It's fantastic! :) I think it's a little bit similar with the Love Parade ;)

Well, at first, I wanted to go to the USA because I think if you wanna talk about it you should've been there. (and before I'd wanted to go to UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand ... you see, I was waver ;)) And then the bomb attacks in London, terrorism and stuff like this -- I don't want to go to the USA at all. So I've heard a lot of wonderful things about Canada!, and so I decided to go to Canada ;)

Lots of love (I'm sorry - but I've to do my homework...)

Hey you two,

@fairy I have the feeling that I have understood something wrong! What do you mean with gap year?
First I thought it would be a year without school but now it sounds like a student exchange to me. Because I think you're in high school grade 10 and you said that you don't know whether they will take you or not.

Maybe you'll be able to tell/to explain me. It would be very nice of you.

Hey you two :)

@ Caitlin: http://www.cosgan.de/images/smilie/liebe/f010.gif http://www.cosgan.de/images/smilie/liebe/h020.gif
@ Harry: It's a high school year (a year with school - you live in a family and are part of this family). I wouldn't be able to take a year without school if I want to make my A-levels because I'd lose one year and I'd have to catch up on everything. This would be too much. It's usual to make a high school year and so I decided to make one as well.

Well, it's ok as far, but I've already had better times.

what kind of work do you do? Is it as interesting (and complicated ;) ) as the last one? Anyway, it must be good to work again, right? I hope that everything will turn out alright for you next year! :)

I'm quite ok, thanks, being kept busy doing translations http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/haushalt/d022.gif

Hey Caitlin,

No, it's not as complicated as the last one, at least 'till now. ;) I "just" have to sort mountains of letters/deeds, to register them and as a result of that writing other documents. It's not bad, at least it isn't boring. ;)

Have you ever seen about 50 files? That's about the number of files which I have "filled" with the letters/deeds oh, and of course they had to punch holes in. I have no idea how many letters/deeds I have punched holes in but it was enough. It's not really exciting but yes, it's good to work again.

May I ask: What do you translate?

Have a good time wherever you're going to!

see you next week

@fairy What do you mean by "soul-destroying"?
Hmm, you couldn't find an english version?? That's strange, you could have ordered both so the German and the English Book on Amazon.de

21.10.2005, 09:08

Hi Harry http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/a015.gif

"soul-destroying" (I know, I could write the German translation but this thread's English and I think so we should write it in English and I looked it up for you http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/f040.gif in an English dicitionary http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/d055.gif )

Here it is:

soul-destroying adj. (of a job or task) very dull and boring, because it has to be repeated many times or because there will never be any improvement

source: http://www.cornelsen.de/WebObjects/COLLehrer/zielgruppen/oald/oald_sites/frame_dictionary.html

Well, you see, you read it once and then you've to think about it because it's a little bit philosophical and then you might have to read it once more because you might want to have a second look :) Well, and that's a little bit soul-destroying although it's a really good book.

Yep, amazon.de is a very good idea - but there's a rub in it. I haven't got enough money at the moment to buy books - so I've to go to the library and have to look there.

I wish you two a wunderful weekend and Caitlin, I wish you lot of fun by translating ;)

@ Caitlin lots of success and luck by doing the translation. It's not easy to translate a book. How many pages does it have and do you have to translate from German to English or the other way around?

thank you, dear Harry :)

The book has 250 pages but, as there are lots or equations and tables in it, the text to translate should 'only' be about 200 pages ;) Unfortunately I have to translate from German into English :o it would be easier the other way round :D

I wish you two a wunderful weekend and Caitlin, I wish you lot of fun by translating ;)

Hi Harry,

No, unfortunately I haven't finished translating yet. I hope to get it done by the end of the year, though.

What about you? Do you have any news about your job? Will you still be working in January?

Hope to see you around more often ;)

Good afternoon, you two =)

Or how many newbies did we get?
Well, the last time I was a bit stressed out but at the moment everything's nearly fine and I thougt: Why not popping in and having a look what you're doing?
Just because I've time now, I'll tell you, what happened to me the last month we haven't seen each other. It didn't worked with my exchange year - well, I definitely tried absolutely everything - but nothing worked out. I tried it with YFU - the only organisation I was allowed to try by my Mum. She didn't want to give my child custody to any commercial org therefore I tried it with YFU. You know, they only take about 5 students who want to go to Canada - and I wanted - I would also have gone to every other country - except of Poland or something like that ;) In the end my parents said, it would be the best if I'd go to Canada. Well, I told you ages ago, didn't I?
Canada is beautiful and I would have been so pleased if I had been able to go to.
Of course I didn't give up and tried to go abroad privately. Then it was just a matter of my age. I'm just 16 years old - it's a bit too young since everyone I asked or made other people asked them ;) told me, they would have taken me for one year - but - I'm too you. The stupid custody again. It was all coming to nothing... Well, when I'm 18 I can do what I want and don't have to take care whether it fits with my age or not.

But you know me - I'm always optimistic, am I not, thus I decided to change the school. Now I'm at a commercial high school. And it's FANTASTIC :) I've subjects such as business studies, economics, computing, Spanish again, French in a very little course - just 3 students and one teacher - wonderful!, Maths, some other economy subjects, politics, ethics, PE, German, physics and - needless to say - English =)

I do love it there - the lessons are much more pleasant than they were at the general educating grammar school.

So, that's it. How did you do? Is everything all right?

Lots of love,
fairy
