chickadee Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 How come no-one offers me coffee when i go to other threads? (not that I drink it:naughty:) Tis true then, this must be one of the friendliest threads on the forum. And cos I'm so used to this one, I often get a nasty surprise when I'm not universally embraced in other threads. *sigh* *must learn to lower expectations* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bexstar Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Well, until today I only had internet at work, and I really had to tone down my internet usage...and well, I had to sacrifice MFC. SORRY!! So I bought a new Mac book yesterday, and it took me about 10 minutes to work out how to access the net (I don't read instructions). Anyways, I'm back to MFC!

So I bought a new Mac book yesterday, and it took me about 10 minutes to work out how to access the net (I don't read instructions). Anyways, I'm back to MFC! We moved house a couple of months back and i had no internet for about 6 weeks and that was difficult enough! Woohoo for being back on MFC! i think you got it! guy sounds a bit like "gui" in guitar and laine like Elaine, but a little bit more open.... sounds a bit like glenn with emphasis on the gggg part lol i'll just have to make a trip down under to verify your pronounciation. haha, that was difficult for me to explain. Yeah, the guy was like gui, but considering that I say Elaine as Uilane if you like, that's what I meant all along! I don't say a long E on Elaine. And you'll definitely have to come down here and check it out! lol canadian thread is friendly as well... we offer poutine!!! What on earth is poutine?! And do you guys speak french in that thread?

chickadee Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I know a Canadian girl named Tara and I always pronounced it with a long A after the T, making it sound like car.

Mika4Life13 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 From part 12:*nods* I've just always been a music freak.. *gives you a dancing carrot* SSshhhhh .. I'm sturking for all of us! Ohh Wouldn't that be fricken awesome!!! True, but it's Patrick Swayze and RBSKY.. I assumed laziness of the swayziness.. (how lame) This may come as a shock to you, but sometimes parents don't move house and instead they hide behind the couch and watch as you read the note they've just pinned there because THEY DON'T WANT YOU ANYMORE.. Failure.. Part 13 now: LIZ!!! I'm not suspicious of it. But, I'm a witch. The fear of the number 13 has alot to do with women and witches. Good Morning Missy You should try the other candy he's got.. it's called "FanGurl." It's so good you'll squee. True.. It should've been called "Making Bow Chicka Wah Wah ft. Clay." If your cat was going nuts then it was most likely 99% a tom cat. No it's not me!!!! I swear!!! Good Afternooonnk Everyone. Hi Kelzykins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guylainem123 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 What on earth is poutine?! And do you guys speak french in that thread? (I know there is English, I ducked in once, but French would floor me!) poutine is a dish served in fast food restaurants, mostly in quebec. it has been made in quebec for a few decades but is starting to be known across canada. as weird and unhealthy as it sounds... it tastes pretty good! take a look http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poutine on the canadian thread, we tend to speak english most of the time... that being said, we may slip in a few french words now and then. most of the time, i don't even notice it anymore... that's because it's like that in my house too. hubby is english & i'm french. our kids are bilingual. i always spoke french to them, hubby spoke english, right from birth. so now hubby speaks french too so we are constantly changing from english to french & french to english. we dont even notice it & i suppose it may be quite annoying for our guests from time to time lol. french from quebec is very different then french from france. when i first looked up mika on internet, i saw the french fan site (http://www.mikawebsite.come, i think) and i never truly joined it... i didn't understand what they were saying, their expressions are sooooooo different. i suppose i could get used to it, but english is easier to undertand here lol do you speak other languages?

Can I be rude and say "Urgh!"? I'll just have my fries with sour cream thanks, if it's all the same with you. Or with soft serve icecream... Mmmmm! (I'm serious about this! Has to be McDonalds fries with their sundaes tho) I'm like Bruce Willis in Fifth Element. "Listen lady, I only speak two languages. English and Bad English!" I did a year of Italian in primary school and a year of French, but remember exceptionally little of either. that would depend on which part of canada she is from.... here, it would be an open "a" for instance, my sister in law lives in ontario, she pronounces "sonya" more like "sanya" here, the o would definitely be o She's from British Columbia. Can't remember the name of the town. I think she's living in Toronto now from memory. So I can ask you how to use the MAC??? I have never used one before, but randomly decided to buy one.

Well gather the files and send them in an outgoing mail attachment to you other computer, then open them and save them to your computer, and then open them from those files onto your new itunes.
