My consciousness is quantum entangled with the win. (riffing off a post I just made in a non-local consciousness thread)

Fun, fun, fun. The ça is pronounced sa, just so you sound french

The meaning, "it goes"
It can be a question "ça va?"
Or the answer, given ...
In a jolly voice means it goes ... Well
In a sad, melencolly voice is it goes ... Badly
Or just normally means , it goes ... Ok.

Very versatile and compact language is french ... Occasionally

comme ci comme ça

Good evening, about to go watch a movie in a bit.

I think me ever sounding French is about as likely as peace in the Middle East.

We have a couple of Aussies recently moved into the village, their french is about as funny as mine;-)
I speak french with an east Lancashire slur
They speak french with an Aussie twang,

You can speak German - all you have to do is yell everything.

Chuckle.
Flying back to france on a Ryanair plane. One of the cabin staff was German. The plane landed but was taxying, one steward said "please remain in your seats until the plane has stopped". Of course everyone continues getting up, getting bags from overhead lockers etc. the German guy yelled "sit down". That worked. Paul and i were in stitches at the german command in his voice

I don't understand the rush to stand up when the plane lands. I just sit and wait then walk out behind them, I'm willing to give up the 30 seconds they gain over me.

It is really an amazing thing. However, to be honest, most Germans can't help but sound weird.

Yup, I'll sit until those in the isle start moving. I don't see a problem

I have a German friend, he's married the French woman who has the house across the square. They spend winter in Germany and summer here. He was a teacher so despite being german the job also boosted his commanding voice,

Did you know that the Klingon language was created with the German language as a guide.
It seems that native German speakers have no trouble mastering the speech pattern ;-) Qa-pla

I believe it. And many people make fun of their language but it was very easy for me to learn.

I'm trying to figure out how to prepare healthy food for just one person.

Sam has his one beer in the evening. To say he's a lightweight is an understatement. He turns into a 23 year old again(in his mind). "Yo, bro, you don't want to be cool and play some music, and do flips on the skateboard? The night is young! Let's PARTY!!!"

No. No, I don't want to. It's near midnight and I want to go to bed.

I'm 40. I don't want to be 27 again. I like being 40.

35 years ago, I was trying to get national ranking in beer drinking. Then, for some reason, I lost interest in volume and began to pursue quality instead. I'm not sure I achieved great heights as a connoisseur, but my tastes greatly improved and my intake dropped way off.

I just want to be healthy for my age or perhaps a bit better than that.

Preparing food for just one is always a problem to me. But it can be done. It helps to have a good grocery available. I did it by cutting up my own produce when I could and eating it up as needed, but when I couldn't do that, I could buy it already prepared for a bit more.

Feeling a bit better?

Eh, sort of. My cars done. Not as bad as I thought it would be. Still need to pick it up. Not clear on my driving right now. Going to wait and try tomorrow.

Happy about that. Head still hurts and I'm tired.

Could use a good beer, but I still think it would be wasted right. So I'll wait till I feel much better and can enjoy it fully.

Still jumping words when I type. I do that anyway. Just seems worse right now. It took me a bit to right just this. Probably still jumped something.
