[quote user="TWINKLE"]      "And what is the decision?" asks the doctor.        "We're having granite worktops." [/quote] My boy friend told me yesterday that he had chosen the granit worktops ... I fear to have to check something ...[+o(]

Speaking only in French , reading only in French , writing only in French .... No better solution .          

Chancer ,   Very beautiful testimony .

On Facebook  most of people have no avatar  and  give their true name . That's not the case here . It's a little bit different . Sincerely, there are good things on FB too . And you can choose what you share , with whom . If you decide not  to answer to a request  systematically , it's as if you said in your true life : "I have enough friends ; I shut my  door  ..." why  ? Yes , I'm agree , it would have been better to find another word for " Friend" .

You can have a lots of friends on FB and never communicate with them . I have few friends but get  in touch with only four or five  . It's because some of my friends do not seem to be very often on FB . Others ,  are so active  on FB , with lots of friends , it's difficult then to get one's turn  . So don't be sad Cluzo .. I can be your friend if you would like to ...[:)]

I didn't like FB before I discovered that it could be a good opportunity to get in touch with friends who lives very far from me  and through whom I could make more friends too .  I read very desagreable things on FB ( not my friends ) , silly way to speak , or write too . It's a good way to discover the ... face ...the other face of people you think to know ... If they are the same , on FB and in their life , you can be confident . If there is a gap , " mistrust". Very often , for people who are  hypocritical  , FB is the place where they betray themselves.   

That's strange . It's as if they had two personnalities ; the friends I have are the same , on FB and in their life . If I can propose a theory , perhaps they are more sincere on FB! [blink]

[quote user="pachapapa"] People now send me emails saying they want to be my friend. I feel sorry for them. I click on the link to make them happy. I have over one thousand friends now and increasing by the day. I dont feel any happier though. In fact the emails are seriously beginning to get on my tits!   [/quote]   You are not forced to accept all the requests ! Do you want to be friend with anybody in your true life ? No I think . I have very few friends ( under 25 ) and for the most , I know them really .[blink]

[quote user="Gluestick"][quote user="Molly"]...And  read witty reflections .  [/quote] Witty? I'm obviously thinking of another place. To me, it reads like the very worst of those appalling Christmas Round Robin letters, where the small-minded recount all the trivial aspects of their boring lives. Together with attempts to outdo each other in terms of their last holiday, last trip shopping to New York and other similar muppet activities. [/quote]   If you had a FB account and were my friend , you could see that this is not the case ...

[quote user="woolybanana"]ooops, perhaps I was wrong. Does it mean Floppy Buttocks - in which case, the answer is - not in a bikini![/quote]   You mean feed-back ?

It depends on  friends you can have ... It's very often a good way to get links to informations , conferences , plays , art , we could ignore otherwise ...And  read witty reflections .   But thank you for your answer .  

I would like to know your opinion ...   Are you pro or against FB ? and why ? [geek]  

I am sincerely sorry Leo .

I don't know where to post this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sPGePuyR-E&feature=youtube_gdata_player [:D]

[WJT"] Unfortunately there is no laughing smilie because if there was I would post a line of them in response to Molly's post regarding American woman having a hold over American men since pioneer days! HAHAHAHA!!   That is good work 5-element! Perhaps it is someone in disguise! Is it really so funny ? why ? I'm serious you know...[+o(]

Nobody knows .. All the articles  we  can read on internet do not give the same analysis . The economists disagree about this . The thing that we can say is that one of them will be right .. But who ?  

Thank you very much Richard .

Hi , Hi , I would like to dowload a free mp3 (Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier ) . When I try to go to a site , most of the time , I get on the right of  my computer , lots of  desagreable propositions by girls wearing  " bikini " who would like to chat or who propose other things .Is it because of this first name ? Very boring .I hate Internet sometime for this . I just want a good site ( BBC for example ) where I could find the file in Mp3   Thank you very much for your advice .

To Paul , Thank you Paul for your answer . About the American males , most of them ( those that I meet - ) are very shy face to females . They seem to fear of them ; One of my american friend ( A senior citizen  ) told me that it was because women hold the reins in a couple , and in the American society ....And this, since the beginning of the birth of the nation ( when there were only few women for many men during the pionners era ,) later ,these things were reinforced by the early feminists ...   American45 I fear that I do not understand you anymore ...  

American45 That's strange , in the beginning  I thought that you were 45 years old . I was certainly wrong ,wasn't I? You say ' a young Franch woman ", But  why not saying "A woman of my age ... I am 23 for example ..." That's true that there are lots of "seniors " on this forum . You certainly do not ignore this fact . And we can't have the same approach because of that .  Do you have a FB account ? In that case , you can find good friends  of your age around you  who could answer  to your request : French people or American people who could have been in touch with French girls ... Obviously , you seem to be very nervous about this situation . But you have to learn that sometimes in our life  we do not get an answer to our questions , and  if we get it , we have to understand it and to accept it. It's  another step .

On this site , http://www.marmiton.org/Recettes/Recette_galette-des-rois_10832.aspx   A very good site ... May I come for tasting it after you bake it ?

American45 I would like to know how you  managed it ... I hope you 'll  tell us about  the end ... or the beginning of ....the history ...  

American45,   I didn't want to hurt you . I do not know if we can say that French Culture is a backward culture ... In New England  things are not so different( I think ); Yes , you are going to say : In New England ,  All old oddities are esteemed...  I just wanted to give you a piece of advice  ... Now , as French people say ." Vous faites comme vous voulez ..."  

word play : A green card in a " salle obscure " : How to get a green card in a dark room ....[:D]

I didn't think that American 45 was in America currently ... But never mind . I gave an answer , a clear answer . French women generally do not act like this . ( If they are well - bred ) . They can invite a man to see a movie , but only if they have been friends for a long time   . (I insist : All depends on her age too . ) You seem to be rather  uncomfortable in this situation; So try to think about why .... I am sure that you will find  the answer ....
