BEXTER! It is Friday!!
Yaayy! It is ages since I have done this. I used to work for a dutch NRM consultant and he had these books on livestock, agriculture etc. and it used to bother me that I could not under a single word so I began a game of looking up every single word in the sentence to find out what it means. I have no dutch since I forget the words and the sentence the next instance (I'll never use it), but I can understand a sentence of dutch if I apply my game to it. Thanks Branshea that was fun!

Sure, the right language sensitivity !, but... now it's Saturday and Bexter may have a computer crash and hopefully just that and nothing worse. I'll wait till Monday and then I will crawl towards my dictionary.

And I don't have a Dutch/English dictionary. I suppose
I could buy one, or use babelfish. Bex did say there would
be computer problems until July

Sure you do, and you even hinted at it by invoking babelfish. If you have a computer you have a browser, and if you Google "Dutch English Dictionary" the very first entry will take you here . Even if you spell it "Duthc English dictionar" the way I did.

Never in any lifetime would I have thought of that. Thanks.
I still go to bookstores. I think I am ready to leave
this life: getting too complicated, an old goat like me
cannot keep up.
