Glad to check in here: I have been busy with work and studying Latin -- now in my third semester! -- but have been really sick the past few weeks. What with the wind and the drought and the occasional rains, allergies have been terrible here this fall -- and I have been knocked out with a combination of sneezing, coughing, wheezing and the like.
Today I'm finally breathing a bit better but it's slow going. The cat has had a great time sitting on me while I have been in bed so much. (If I don't take care of myself with this, it will progress to pneumonia, so I don't hesitate to get to bed).
Hope everyone is doing well and I'll drop by more frequently.

Hi all,
I'm an oldtimer who used to frequent here and just popped by by chance and noticed orchid's note that Chatty has passed away? When? What happened? Dotsie's hubby is my eye doc, and her sis in law is my hairdresser, so I hear regular news of her though rarely see her these days. But I rarely see most everyone.
Ellemm -- how cool that you're studying Latin!

Hi DJ, Good to see you here again, and we'd love it if you'd stop by more often. Chatty died on April 1st of this year. Here's an obit that might tell you a bit more. she is sadly missed.

Ellen, I took Latin for 3 yrs. in high school. We had a dynamic teacher where over 200 students would voluntarily enroll for his course for the lst year.
It's a great foundation...to actually learn French, Spanish, Italian later because of the verb conjugations. Your English language vocabulary will also expand.

Actually, I was kind of a stink pot in high school. I started out at a Catholic high school and we had to take two foreign languages. The standard was Latin and French or German or Spanish. Well, I didn't want to take Latin, probably because I was 14 and thought I knew everything, so wound up taking French and Spanish at the same time. I did at least 3 years of French at a public high school, then majored in Spanish and Political Science.
Soooo, I eventually wised up a bit and missed the Latin, so here I am. There's no doubt that Spanish is closer to Latin; anyway, it has been fun to see where all these languages came from.
