Yes. Seven did come up with moscow as the opening location and the guy swearing while being hanged. She also said a bunch of stuff that, while I'm gratful for the input, I didn't use as it conflicted with my vison.

Tis better to sit in silence and be presumed a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.

It'll still be there. That's one thing I love about stories going on userpages. Stuff dosen't get buried unless you yourself bury it.

þ is the "thorn"-- and you pronounce it like the "th" in "thorn" or "thick."
But it's not pronounced like the "th" in "thick" or "thin."

Not a contradiction...
Easiest way to distinuish the two types of "th" sounds is if you can feel the breath on your palm. Certain "th" words such as "the" and "breathe" we use our voice. You can feel the "th" sound vibrate off your palm.
But the "th" in the words "thigh" and "breath" aren't voiced-- so, you don't feel the vibration of your voice on your palm.

My English Teacher taught me this; and she was taught this in college by an old professor.
r-g asks if it is a contradiction, because you said thick in both examples.

*cough*
I assume the by one of the "thick's" you mean "thigh".
Otherwise, that IS a total contradiction.

I know, I was stating that I had defeated you to increase my already inflated ego.
You know, misery <3s company or w/e.....
1 alegría + 1 alegría son 2 alegrías
1 pena + 1 pena son media pena
my grandfather had a poster that read that in his bedroom
(1 sadness + 1 sadness is half a sadness, and 1 happiness + 1 happiness is 2 happinesses )
Did I spell console right?
Firefox spell check says yes.

I learned the possible pronunciation of "th" indirectly, as an English teacher corrected a classmate of mine who was singing an old Scottish song, and wrote the phonetics. The student had an awesome voice.
That teacher's name was Perla, she laughed a lot, but wasn't very nice.

No Dredd, I can still keep posting and you cannot have my mod spot.
Its possible now to go into working in Ontario. My interest lies in federal policing, not community/contract policing. Hopefully I can be one of the lucky few who do that right off the bat.
The polygraph asks you nearly ever imaginable question, like 167 in total I think.

Kids, when you go to other people's house, and you borrow the other person's computer to IM, remember to check if you , by accident, have clicked on "sign in automatically"; because it could mean trouble.

I once left myself logged into my email at a friends house, and she kept emailing me and crap with my own email.
also, JoS. My dad called the mounties when I disappeared for a day during a trip to BC. That was the day I went to vacouver to visit newgrounders...I felt saying "i'm going to go meet people from the internet" was a poor answer to "where are you going today?"
he noticed my skis were still in the hotel and that I was gone and was afraid I had done heliskiing or rented equipment

My sister is getting me this rose plant for Christmas...
which survived Huricane Katrina.
She knows that I like plants with a history behind to them.
If you come to my house, you're liable to get a history lesson when I show you the roses-- either histories of the family-- or the history of the plant.
I have a musk rose from Santa Clara University which I researched...
It was given by Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie to father Schuner sometimes in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
He was the guy that started the Rastafari movement-- and supposedly, he's a decendent of Queen Sheba.
I took a few cuttings in 2003, and now it's a massive plant that wants to be a tree.
I hope one day to own my own rose nursery, one day-- and sell roses with these intricate histories.
