Originally posted by Cloudbringer: Ramon! Yes, we do seem to keep missing each other. But it's ok. I'm sure we'll get caught up one of these days. I do enjoy our discussions! Memny asked us to do more on the book forum (BLATANT PLUG HERE! ) so I may actually do some reading so as to have something to talk about. May review something if I finish reading it! I think it's the Ziroc thread about what people are reading that is where I recommended a few things. There isn't all that much to go through, so I'm sure you'll find it! I'm not on the board as much for a couple reasons. MP is one big one, but also haven't been posting as much at work (til today!) because rl has need of me. I have missed you, though! Couldn't find you anywhere and then someone mentioned you might have left us! There's even a thread out there with your name as the topic. Glad to see you here, anyway. I'm around a bit later tonight, but that's pretty late for you! (around 845ish my time). Oh, I still want to know more about that major you are studying in...sounds quite interesting! Post or email if you like. Ahh yes, the new title...sigh..Ziroc has one heck of a warped sense of humor, doesn't he? LOL I think that title is available to anyone who hits the right number of posts! Not just me! Cloudphenom...teeheehee

CB,

I am afraid I have to stand you up for the "date" later in your evening. It is already 1 a.m. here and I'll be off to bed after this post. One problem is that last weekend continental Europe (CET zone) changed to our "summer time", thus the time difference to the east coast (EST) is not six, but now even seven hours. Don't know Mistress, err, Lady Epona, is it now 11 p.m. or midnight on your little island ?

I went to the books forum and saw your recommendations, thanks. Will have to check my father's library for them. Btw, reading a book before reviewing it, what a revolutionary - and at the same time oldfashioned in the best way - concept !

Good night !

Ramon,

I think it's now 6 hrs from London time here. Goes back to 5 after we change our clocks this Saturday. Ahh, well, Ramon, mayhap we shall catch up on a weekend. I stay up late just to catch half of the European and Australian contingent on Friday and Saturday nights! Silly time zones, anyway...quite bothersome!

Good luck in the apartment search.

Originally posted by Epona: Cloudy, congrats on reaching the lofty heights - but shouldn't that be 'Spam Mistress'?? Although on second thoughts, that would sound a bit er... how can I put this?... I think the word I'm looking for is 'kinky' !! LOL

Thanks! Yes, I have noticed along the way, that the titles are definitely skewed in the masculine favor....but yah, "Spam Mistress"...uh, Mistress of Spam? LOL!! No thanks! Not my style! Does sound quite kinky...er, don't tell Ziroc! He's been warped and wild on another thread lately!

Okay, since I'm new here, I'll go on and answer this one, too!

WHAT'S YOUR TOP 3 FAVORITE GAMES OF THE PAST 2 YEARS? Wizards & Warriors, MM7, MM6 (if that one counts).

DEATH PENALTY OR NOT? Not, for the most part. There's too many extenuating circumstances. I'm sure I'd feel differently if someone I loved or myself was personally involved . . .maybe. I'm not a "bleeding heart", BTW...I believe in giving the maximum penalty up to but not including death . . . but I don't think I could live with myself if I condemned someone to death and later found out that there was evidence that the person didn't commit the crime. I'd rather err on the side of Life.

ARE YOU PLANNING ON STICKING AROUND ON THIS BOARD? Yes.

Originally posted by Ramon de Ramon y Ramon: Thanks for the compliment ! I am just fine, finished the huge research paper last weekend. Now I'll have to get busy finding a new flat and a new job before it is time to prepare my final thesis. And how are you ? Ohh, I have not forgotten about our "living abroad" thread. Just building up the tension for one of my infamous long and winding posts. This afternoon, when discussing learning foreign languages on the "German" thread I was almost there. But don't worry: you will get your chance to shine as the princess of 1001 nights of this board. Btw, did you get the chance to learn any Arabic ?

I'm glad to hear that you are fine Ramon! Good luck on your home-hunting. May you find something comfortable and affordable quickly.
You asked how I am, and I think I will give the safe answer - fine - because the real answer is complicated. But really, I am fine.

Yes, I learned Arabic. However, I have not used it in many years, so I recall only a little bit. What Arabic I hang on to is due to my husband, who speaks it with me sometimes.

Oh - and I am not wanting "to shine as the princess of 1001 nights of this board". I am basically shy and uncomfortable with that kind of attention. I am interested in hearing about other people's experiences when they've been in foreign countries. Yorick's is so fascinating - other people surely have similar adventures to share!

Glad to see you haven't totally disappeared Ramon.

Sometimes I think I
understand everything,
then I regain consciousness.

Bilqis, may I disagree ? Lovely ladies should be given a forum to shine in from time to time. I also think that everyone likes some - sincere - attention every now and then and if the right opportunity presents itself.

I guess I understand what you mean when you are saying that the real answer on your well being would have to be more complex and complicated than a simple "fine" and I also respect that you choose not to go into more detail on that.
I am always amazed - and mostly impressed - by the degree of frankness some members manage on very personal matters, but I myself couldn't really see me doing quite the same. But may I add that your answer in its earnestness - and do not get me wrong - struck me as remarkable "unamerican" ? Whatever that is supposed to mean ...

Is your husband Arab then ?
