- I'm sad to announce that Sheila's grandmother died late Friday afternoon. I will not be on line as much in the next few days. It is Saturday morning here now. All will be well in the long run!
- I'm still very busy with family issues. I will try to write a little each day. But life is complicated at the moment.
- I'm back! I had lost my password! But I have retrieved it!

-
- alandeng: They are very hardworking for winning the Olympic gold medal.

My new avatar photo shows a bird house I made from a hollow log.
- Everything is back to norbal! 今天很雪很冷。
- The rain is washing away the snow!
-
- FabulousKid: 今天雨水都把雪冲走了。
- sedgehead: That's an interesting phrase: 今天雨水都把雪冲走了. I like it. Now if I could only remember it!!!!!
- FabulousKid: hh, sometimes my Chinese is a mix of madarin and cantonese. But I may not necessarily notice that.
- Snow! 今天我们有 flurries. It should turn into rain. So perhaps the snowy ground will turn brown again.
-
- benben1222: I admire that u can see snow!
- Brain teaser: I put four gloves (two pairs) in a box. I randomly pull out one glove. Then I randomly pull out a second glove. What are the odds I have drawn out a pair of gloves?
-
- sayuri: 1/3??
- jinzhenluo: can you speak chinese
- sedgehead: Me? 我会说一点，可是不好。
-
jinzhenluo: you can write in chinese,it seems you are good at in chinese.
- sedgehead: If I try to say something complex in Chinese my Chinese friends say "I can't understand that." And I say "but I wrote it in Chinese!"
- jinzhenluo: that likes i speak in english .it is hard to learn englis for me ,what do you think of chinese ,is it interesting?
- sedgehead: Yes, I like the challenge of learning Chinese! English hint: you should read my lesson on "the little things."
- jinzhenluo: ok,i will.
- sedgehead: Two in three (2/3). If the first is right handed, the box still holds two left handed gloves and one right handed.
- sayuri: oh, you're right. i make a wrong understand. i think there are two diffirent coler golves.i miss the right and left...
- sedgehead: In that case, you were correct, if there was a mis-match pair. English: use I, not i. Start sentences with a capital letter.
- Monday p.m. after work, I'm checking email and watching TV. 星期一后工作，我看电视和电邮。
-
- bessie: We usually say:"星期一下午，下班后，我会看邮件和看电视。”
- sedgehead: Thanks! I'll have to study what you said.
- denver: Yes, for a sentence like 'after/before xxxx', you should always switch their position first before you try to translate them. e.g. "after work" -> "work after"->"工作后&
- denver: Looks the reply message has a length threshold. it truncated my message
- denver: e.g. "after work" -> "work after"->"工作后"
- denver: "before I have dinner"->"I have dinner before"->"我晚饭后"
- sedgehead: Thanks for your comments. I have much to learn. But I will catch on eventually!
