I have zero experience with it, but I've heard many good things about the Rosetta Stone software. As in, I know real life people who have used it and gush about it it. I'm not able to judge their fluency, but some of them have bee

Why is it terrifying? I may have some experience to share and you might be able to get something from that.

Absolutely... Academically, I've only failed two things. Typing and Spanish. Today, I'm fluent in Spanish - though a bit slower than natives. Why? I spent a whole lot of time with my pidgin Spanish below the border. Eventually, I

Wait... It is ver. 1.0? Does this mean it has been beta for this whole time? I am obviously not an Android user. Sorry if this is a dumb question. For whatever reason, the text (mobile Safari, outdated a little) all appears in just one vert

If your investments hold no value then everyone else will have come down in a similar proportion - assuming you're diversified. So, you might have a lower total number but your value will still be pretty similar, as will your buying po

I am a huge VMware fan and have been for a long time. Caution: I have found mentioning this confuses people because I'm often mistaken for a FOSS zealot. I am not. I just prefer FOSS because I like to tinker. I have no moral qualms wit

My bears are just silly little critters. They are the Maine black bear. They might hit 400 pounds. The last time they killed someone was in the 1880s, but they like to lay still after you shoot them wait until you are close, and then kick t

Raggedy couch and a suit on the back of your office door. You didn't mean to stay there until 02:00, but you're going to have to be back at 06:00 so you might as well stay there.

I'd absolutely not recommend young people move here, unless they want something just plain middle class and hard work. To live here and truly enjoy it as I do, really takes a great deal of money.

I'll be damned! It really is a Mainah convention. I have like a dozen Moxie shirts. Man, the poor village people had to put up with me moving in. I used to drink - a lot. But, we've come to grips with each other. It was so differe

I am accepted as a native but always will be from away. I can hunt, fish, twitch logs, drive a tractor, plow snow, and spit. I know the woods and roads better than most natives. But, I'm from away.

Yeah, as I mentioned above, I own a lot of land. It is all open for public use, except a small portion around my house. I finally had signs made up and an extra phone line installed so that people can call and leave a message saying when an

Oh, we take deaths seriously. We take serious injuries seriously. We will laugh when you crush your boat, trailer, and truck because you can't follow directions. Really, backing up a trailer is very easy if you just follow the directio

I'm taking the parachute. How often do you get to jump out of a fiery wreck of a plane? Besides, if there is a deity, I'm probably well passed the threshold for acceptance in a mere few minutes. If I find out there's a deity,

I bought a substantial (obscene really) amount of land that had been owned by a paper mill. It hadn't been harvested since the 80s and it's a working forest (TSI, sustainable) now. I know how it's done, have the gear, and c

Yeah, it would take external stimuli for me to choose the treatment options. A grandchild might do that. Maybe excessive angst from the missus but that's unlikely - she knows my views and I'd not be with her if she wasn't acc

Yeah, fire is right off my list of good ways to die. I'm pretty sure that has to suck. Conversely, if I'm burned badly and still alive, I probably won't want to live. I already have a living will and DNR. I'm 59. If I ge

Nope, not even remotely surprised. It is pretty much entirely jest. Most tourists are fantastic, though they often try things they aren't experienced or equipped for. This results in them dying in new and interesting ways. I'm on

Absolutely. My life is riddled with bad choices, some of which I continue today. I'm constantly surprised I am where I am, and that I'm somehow alive. Can I delay gratification? Sure. I don't always want to do so. I don'

Yeah, I was responding to someone who'd know which they I meant. My bad. I live outside of the tourist area, I'm really remote. But, the village is a tourist area. They go from 1200 to 12000 people at times. There are camps and pa
