  1. I had actually seen a double toilet before Sochi. There is a building in town that used to have a salon in one of the suites and the bathroom there had two toilets. The only time I could see using a double with no stall is if you and your child are going at the same time.

     

    As for two doors, that's not too weird, either. If you've seen Sex and the City, you know that Carrie has two doors on her bathroom--and that's in an apartment! The house my parents built had two doors on the master bathroom: one leading into the bedroom and one leading out into the hallway. It was a perfect arrangement, because my mom could get me ready for school in the morning without having to worry about bothering my dad, who worked something like 4:30p - 1:30a during my youngest years. (Also good if the bathroom downstairs was taken and you really had to go--just fly up the stairs and straight through the door! No corners!)

  2. I've never had any of my frozen accounts purged, sad to say. Not even my oldest account that is alive, but I can't get into.

     

    Fortunate for the auto-cancel, though. Whew!

  3. I see you got to R16 last year, Liana...are you going to try for that again?

     

    I also see you clearly have more GPG than me...pretty obvious, even with a twenty-three game gap.

  4. This isn't so much being gone as just an annoyance...being frozen and losing plot/event trophies from two or three years.

     

     

    But I know what you mean about coming back just after a plot finishes...I think my last big hiatus took place during FR. :P

     

    A couple of times, plots have come up and I've mistaken them for something else entirely (like some activity TDN was doing or something...not sure), so by the time I get into them, they're partway through and I've missed whatever Special Rewards you got for completing the tasks on the first day they were released.

     

    I think the biggest hiatus I ever took moved us from the yellow sidebar to whatever came next. (I don't remember if we went straight to pulldowns or what.) But that was a long time ago!

  5. I choose "authentic" over "textbook" any day--at least when writing novels. :D

     

    ~*~

     

    Three of the characters are discussing something, which a fourth would never allow. So the sentence in English is,

     

     

     

    “Forget ‘allowing’ it!” Catalina glared at Raquel. “You don’t have enough brain cells to make a barony prosperous!”

     

    So if we're talking about lighting things on fire with our eyes, that just may work. :laughingsmiley:

  6. We went through past tense before I finished (the equivalent of) my second year in Spanish and none of it stuck!

     

     

    I'm trying to get something like, "X glared at Y", but it keeps coming back with "miro", which is "look", I believe. Ayuda me, por favor!

     

    (I know there are some Spanish speakers on here...I remember them offering to help me a few months ago!) (In fact, I may eventually hire one of you to translate this manuscript for me, when the time comes. Hopefully it will become a book one day!)

  7. $150 is a small price to pay for a lifetime friend (says someone who has twice paid the humane society fee!)

     

     

    The two we have now are a gift from the Goddess, in their own crazy ways. ;)

     

    (I know my Lauren is, for certain...we had a two year old who didn't work out, so we took her back and we were supposed to pay the difference between the adult cat fee and the kitten fee. Never happened! :D )
