Sailing was released in July 1980 and Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do) came out in 1981.
And I feel old now.
Christopher Cross is coming to Berlin. I wasn’t aware that he still tours around the world.
Saaaaaaaailing, takes me away to where I’ve always heard it could beeeeeee…
I wish, I could talk about all the Chicago hot dog stands’ names. I mean, they are always trying to out pun each other. Here are a few:
Hot Doug’s
Superdawg
Wiener Circle
Frank ‘N’ Dawgs
Or about the signs saying things like: Ketchup is only acceptable for children under the age of 17, we all have to grow up sometime” or “Don’t use ketchup on your...

One Year
Received a noticed that D’s one year specimen storage is up.
It has been one year. I knew this day was coming but wasn’t sure how I would handle it. So far, I just want to curled up and take a nap. But it could be all the German’s lessons.
About a year ago, after 3 failed IUI’s, our Reproductive Endocrinologist, RE, told us that our only way out of this no-baby mess was...

“Choosing to have children at 50 disrupts life’s natural trajectory, causing needless suffering and disharmony for both parent and child. “It’s irresponsible,” London says.” — NYMag article on mothers having kids past 50.
Lemme see if I have this straight. It’s irresponsible to have kids after 50. However, it’s also irresponsible to have kids as a teenager, as...

I like to be helpful and all, but I have a new person sitting next to me in my German class. She is always asking me to see and she then, proceeds to copy my vocabulary list - new German words we will be learning that particular chapter with their English meaning.
I spend at least an hour, per chapter, getting these words translated and it kind sucks that she just wants to come in and get them...

inessita replied to your post: The immigration inspector is here making sure… And my mother constantly complains that “these immigrants” never learn the language and don’t even have to (can you imagine the fun we have at family dinners?).

The thing about my infertility support “group” (online) is that, we are all a bit fragile there. We all kind of support each other when the outside world is just telling us to suck it up.
So when generalization about gender come up, like men don’t ever listen/do laundry etc,I tend to look away since it would create a sh*t storm due to already hurt feelings.
Weight and size...

Officially trolling my Infertility support group. But one thing I have learnt here over and over again is that the word gender and sex are not interchangeable.

Found a English speaking psychiatric that works right by me. The majority that I have found in the past works in the outskirts of Berlin (1 hour ride in the train) or were only psychologist.
My appointment is not until October 26th but I already feel a big relief.
FX that he is actually good and I can keep it forever and ever.

I don’t believe there is anything in the whole earth that you can’t learn in Berlin except the German language.

ourladyofcounterclockwiseness-d asked: I'm not the best at teaching, but I'll give this a try: It's "ist" instead of "hat" because you don't have a dynamic process, you only have the outcome, so it's a passive state. Maybe it's easier if you put it that way: "Meine Karte ist gesperrt worden." You would use "hat" in a differently structured sentence: "Jemand hat...

Of course, I couldn’t be the other two verbs I know to say close or lock.

German help, bitte.
@thecountessofclockwise & @inessita:
How do you say in German: my card is locked?
My Maestro card got locked, security reasons I guess. Got a new PIN already.
Thanks!

Is it really that hard to get a license in Germany? Does no one drive? How do you get around? I am so confused!

nanner replied to your photo: GPOY Inside The Blind Passenger Olafur… Am I supposed to being seeing a smiling face in that or am I losing my mind?
Yup, that’s me. It was insane. Also, it almost gave me a panic attack.

Some days, I really hate German and want to quit, but then I learn that the word for annoyed is sauer and it’s all good.
