we never were taught the language and i wasn't aimed that ways. i learned hundreds of technical/computer languages at school instead. tried to take German at one time but brute force memorization that required on top of all the other work was too much for me and i gave up after a few weeks. ich bin crank and a few other phrases stuck mostly because of humor.

i consider myself USoAian more than anything, but i do enjoy the foods and culture of some of my ancestors, don't think i'll ever travel over there as i'm pretty sure i may not come back (trains to everywhere!).

sleep well after your workout. glad you didn't run into a tree or rock.

So do I ~ but it is good to learn and keep our culture ~ all of it ~ that's what they try to ~ take from us ~ our culture ~ our memory ~ Like the statues in our south ~ Robert E Lee ~ is ours ~ even if no mater where we live ~ it's all us ~ our history ~ the enemy would like to have the nose hate the ear or the hand ~ reminds me of a joke ``` another time ```


Yes ~ I'm glad as well ~ it was great fun ~ haven't has that much fun ~ in a long while ~ my face ached from hours of smiling ``` Good to have met you ```

"The made me ware the helmet..."
was a typo and not bc you fell and hit your head!!! 'O'
Looks like fun and yeah, all of that exertion will wear you out!
Personally, I might try x country but NEVER downhill!!!
Moja obitelj nije talijanska, ali bliska, iz Hrvatske.

glad you are survivor. we're all in this together no matter what. i am surprised you went skiiing.

my issue with downhill skiing is that i would like to go too fast, straight down, full speed ahead and not be able to see what i was going to run into. cross country skiing is more my speed, but even better is snowshoeing. not enough snow around here to do that most of the time, but i have good memories of friends trips out into the woods and to some frozen water falls up north.
