what are you thinking???

[Elisa]

I love Andrew's funny and educated observations

[reindeer]

Yeah, it takes time to digest the information...doesn't matter, I like that considered way of your response Elisa

[Elisa]

What a humble person
I am thinking summer is ending and a great autumn is waiting for us...

[reindeer]

I think...that was exceedingly present continuous sentence...

[Elisa]

Huum...I am thinking:" he was thinking I am writing exceedingly present continuous but was I using it really too much or am I choosing the best form?"

[davinden]

now, I am thinking watching movie The Expendables 2 in cinema.

I think...you know mates, let me say:
Stop thinking and start writing!
They want you to become a writing machine, for your own advantage. So give 'em the reason to work a little for a change, by sorting your silly mistakes.
In real life, no one will write your resume for you, so why don't you do it here and now?
In real life, no one will ever know what a nice person you are, until you tell 'em about yourself.

If you don't want to speak about yourself, tell your story. Is there a shortage of amazing things around us?
Stutterers and shy people go first. Also, they may leave their disadvantages (stutter and shyness) in the lobby, where the stuff remain safe and sound, because there is no one to snitch it.
What do you think about it?

I am thinking Andrew’s is right.

There are moments in our life where it seems everything, every choice we do is wrong. People have always something to say.

We have to go on and do what we think is the best for us and think with our head. This is the best way to make our life flow in serenity.

I want to submit this Aesop’s fable. My parents always told it and one day I saw it on a carved wood celing of a city hall (municipal building) in my mountains.

The Man, the Boy, and the Donkey


A Man and his son were once going with their Donkey to market. As they were walking along by its side a countryman passed them and said: “You fools, what is a Donkey for but to ride upon?”
So the Man put the Boy on the Donkey and they went on their way. But soon they passed a group of men, one of whom said: “See that lazy youngster, he lets his father walk while he rides.”
So the Man ordered his Boy to get off, and got on himself. But they hadn’t gone far when they passed two women, one of whom said to the other: “Shame on that lazy lout to let his poor little son trudge along.”
Well, the Man didn’t know what to do, but at last he took his Boy up before him on the Donkey. By this time they had come to the town, and the passers-by began to jeer and point at them. The Man stopped and asked what they were scoffing at. The men said: “Aren’t you ashamed of yourself for overloading that poor Donkey of yours—you and your hulking son?”
The Man and Boy got off and tried to think what to do. They thought and they thought, till at last they cut down a pole, tied the Donkey’s feet to it, and raised the pole and the Donkey to their shoulders. They went along amid the laughter of all who met them till they came to Market Bridge, when the Donkey, getting one of his feet loose, kicked out and caused the Boy to drop his end of the pole. In the struggle the Donkey fell over the bridge, and his fore-feet being tied together he was drowned.
“That will teach you,” said an old man who had followed them:
“PLEASE ALL, AND YOU WILL PLEASE NONE.”

I want to submit this Aesop’s fable. My parents always told it and one day I saw it on a carved wood celing of a city hall (municipal building) in my mountains.

I know this fable. Though in my version the donkey doesn't sink. If I don't mistake, it was in a book of well known soviet poet and translator S. Marshak. Let's check...yes, that's him!

Where did you take it? I mean it's not carved in English on the ceiling of your city hall, is it?
Of course, nowadays we obtain the information easily, thank to internet. However, not everything. For example, sometimes there is no way to identify a melody which you listen to, or recollect. In such case the internet search doesn't work, so you have to save this melody into your memory and later 'to play back' to someone who really exists, preferably a music lover.
I have such an unidentified piece of music in my memory, vere famous one. Can you read notes by chance?
Have you ever had this problem?

And also, may I ask you to translate that sentence of yours into right English please? No offend

We have to go on and do what we think is the best for us and think with our head

Yours,
Andrew

Andrew,
first of all I have to thank-you to help me in English, we are here also for this reason and God knows how much I need to improve !
I'll try to write that sentence well:
"We have to stay on our path and do what we think is right.
It doesn't mean we don't have to learn from other people."

With regard to the fable I think you can find a version in all language. I have found the English version on internet.
In ceiling of the city hall people have carved the figures (is this the right expression?) so everybody can understand.

You are right internet hepls a lot but you cannot find all and not all of what you read is right.
In addition I like the smell of paper :)
I love music,too and I had the same problem with melodies, now I have an Iphone who helps me (Soundhound)
I have read that there is a new application with Android (I think). You can sing the tune and the computer finds your song (MIDOMI).

I think next year with our computer we will be able to cook the "Lasagne alla Bolognese", too hahahaha
ciao to everybody
