The DnD Sanctuary

Well, for some people when Europeans enjoy the season, it's happening some otherwise there(https://dndsanctuary.eu/imagecache.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fim7-tub-ru.yandex.net%2Fi%3Fid%3D103017781-20-72%26amp%3Bn%3D21&hash=ee1d337b945446d9c7318f52d26f056e" rel="cached" data-hash="ee1d337b945446d9c7318f52d26f056e" data-warn="External image, click here to view original" data-url="http://im7-tub-ru.yandex.net/i?id=103017781-20-72&n=21)(:
And you Downunderers can as well report your "Fall" issues or - wait till September! :D
Now -- for the business: [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJQgt-nKHOU[/video]What's your spring (or whatever)? Do you enjoy it? What is it look like about now?

Myself, I prefer the gem performed by these gentle hands: [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFHPRi0ZeXE[/video]

Gosh! she's married! :no:

Just for you. (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/253164678/violin.gif)

It's got hot enough, but (https://dndsanctuary.eu/imagecache.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Finformer.gismeteo.ru%2Fgraph%2FG99974-2.GIF&hash=1cc4b69f837fb19ad76c9290cb50bd18" rel="cached" data-hash="1cc4b69f837fb19ad76c9290cb50bd18" data-warn="External image, click here to view original" data-url="http://informer.gismeteo.ru/graph/G99974-2.GIF).
Generally, it's dry. Unusually for our place - which is known to hold moderate to high air humidity.

We Downunderers call it Autumn

Today is about +20°C, but from tomorrow it'll drop down to slightly below zero at nights. For a few days, I reckon. It's dry, though the forecast has said it might be going to precipitate a little - about tomorrow, I hope...
Got outdoors: the trees and bushes have started to tiller buds and leaves - including larches.

Aha! The updated forecast says the drop delays, but it'll be a bit longer than a couple'o days. And some rain will be possible within three days - starting tomorrow:)

I believe everyone's Spring is the same. Cold days become warm. Life returns to all that died during the winter months. The sounds of birds chirping becomes regular again. So on and so forth... (for those that actually experience the different seasons)

I believe everyone's Spring is the same.

:right:!
Tell that to... Somebody here. Huh?:D

Yes, "chirp" is the right word to use for the birds here in the city. They used to drive me crazy last summer with their random high frequency squeaks. Every now and then one of the birds would fly past my window, and squeak/chirp loudly. Damn.

I remember in the location where I lived before when I was a kid, birds were few in number and would "sing", i.e. repeat a few tones over and over.

I love to hear them. I get a bit annoyed when a male bird tries to show his dominance to my window tho. Had one bird last year, fly into my window repeatedly for a few weeks before he realized he was seeing his reflection. :lol:

Most all birds lack the ability to distinguish themselves in a reflection... Only a handful of animals have shown the ability. Even children don't get it until after a year old.

Bugs are what I hate of spring. All of them little critters are waking up too. Seems wasps are gonna be bad again. I've seen a lot of bees already tho. One stands guard over the back door fighting the wasps off... he can stay.

Tonight it seems I had such appearing in dreams...
I guess it was a nightmare...:left:

What area do you live in?
Rural? Ecosystem pattern?

Yes, those damn bugs prevent me from opening the window.

Have you ever heard of mosquito-nets or something?
:rolleyes:

I don't like bugs either. They give me the heebeegeebees. Good luck with the wasps. Knock on wood, I've never been stung by anything but a jellyfish.

What about ticks?

What about ticks?

They fall in the bug category.

They fall...

Indeed, huh?

Are you on something?   ??? You have refused to prove me wrong about your areas spring...  :wait:

I have no areas to govern - so what could I say?:rolleyes:

Maybe this way?

about your areas spring...

As I said that I have no areas to govern, so they won't spring.
(Anyway, how areas could possibly spring!????)

Oh boy! Maybe an apostrophe was needed (area's). What I meant was....
What is Spring like where you live? Perhaps you should refer several posts back when you told me ask someone in your area.

English is my first language while you are still learning. Do try to keep up.  ;)

According to YOUR national research, it's YOU, Brits, who's expected to "keep up" with the language your nation has given us.

Perhaps you should refer several posts back when you told me ask someone in your area.

???

I told ya. Now that he thinks you're a Brit you are even farther from anything meaningful. Too bad there isn't a linguist around to help him.

English is my first language...

According to linguistics, your "first language" is descriptive, which means it follows the speakers.
Thus, am I expected to believe that ignoring proper spelling (including the proper placement of the apostrophe) and punctuation (including capitalisation) is destined to become the language norm?

...while you are still learning.

Well, should I we learn all the "innovations" abound amongst the "native speakers"?
Shall we forget that "it" has its own personal possessive form? Shall we address people "@Mandi - ..." instead of "Mandi, ..."? Shall we forget the spelling difference between a noun's possessive and its plural? Shall we? (I hear you, Brian!)

Ugh! Oh look, a bird!  :)

Brian, as a dedicated Anglomaniac, I can't forgive Brits when they rape the language, don't you?
According to Britain's national research, today is the day when it's happening: the Brits are getting less literate in English than foreigners who learn English abroad.
We may lack lexicon, or be unaware of modern idioms, but we succeed in apprehending the spirit of the language of the Great. I am a linguist - I studied the language not only to "speaka any", but as a major part of the curriculum to UNDERSTAND it in its entirety -- and - would you believe? - to teach it.
Now I'm trying. And you know what? I feel like I'm succeeding more - not with Brits, with other guys like myself.

I can't forgive Brits when they rape the language, don't you?

It's our language and we can do what the heck we like with it. Get used to it.

JoshL might be planning to become a British citizen. He's listening to Scottish radio and studying Scottish maps.

:)
Yes, judging by their playlists and all, they must be swell pals there in the country!:yey: I wonder if RJHowie might be considered an example?:rolleyes:

On topic?
Well, I've already made some contribution. As I said then, this spring appears - say - abnormal!:wow: Our climate has never been dry! At least as far as I can recollect.

Then we'll consider splitting it in two -- sorta like Classic Greek and "EU" Greek!:)
:P

This is the lounge. People come here to not be bothered by wannabe know it alls. "Light hearted"

Also we are not on a first name basis. My username is ensbb3 (no caps). Not everyone knows my first name... nor should they.

And finally I'd say you're off topic but the OP is written in such horrific English there's no way to be sure. Just stop. Almost 1900 posts and nothing worth keeping from you. I can get my son to login and correct grammar better. Try commenting more on the subject.

I concur. Admittedly, I do get a bit sloppy with my grammar.  :whistle:

Lots of people do. Luckily I haven't been put on trial for crimes against punctuation yet. (Someone's probably not sure of proper usage so it's "O'K", for now.)
Only a douche would make topics to grammar nazi them while bird-dogging anyone mildly off the subject they hardly comment on...  fortunately there's nobody like that here.

Brian, I don't answer to non-language comments, sometimes even don't read them.
Mandi, good morning! I'm glad we've come to terms.

Mandi, good morning! I'm glad we've come to terms.

You've come to terms with something..... I haven't. I didn't admit that for your sake. Everyone gets sloppy and makes mistakes at some point. You're not perfect. Quit pretending to be. 

You're not perfect. Quit pretending to be.

I don't have to.
:P

Though I often behave arrogant.

Arrogance is an ugly trait.

You said English were your "first language"? I can hardly recognise...

I sooooo want to correct you right now. Fortunately, I'm not an arrogant grammar Nazi. I let people recognize their own mistakes.

Anyways, you are off topic.   :rolleyes:

It's a forum on the internet, who needs grammar. As long as your grammar is good when it counts who (apart from Josh) cares.

[Moderator hat]
You are beginning to push your luck Josh. Stop being such a grammar nazi. If someone's grammar offends your sensibilities, that's fine, but go and stew in a corner for a while rather than making an issue of it. It's not big, it's not clever and you are starting to annoy other forum members and that is not acceptable.
[/Moderator hat]

...I'm not an arrogant...

Me neither:

Apparently, people whose primary language is not English and who may believe that what "true Brits" write is grammar. And you could easily look up for the stats that we're in the majority.:rolleyes:

Mandi, good morning! I'm glad we've come to terms.

Douche bag. I'm done with ya.

You started this; but I apologise for using your MyOpera name.

I don't know their name, today walking out, I saw a not so vast mat nicely dotted with those blueish-violet bell-like shortgrowing beauties. I came up and bowed, then there I met a humble-bumble doing its important job:)

Z-zz-z..

:)

The other day I presumably heard a nightingale singing out of my window; and yesterday (or maybe today morning?) I heard maybe a similar guy, or some other bird singing. It tweeted like this: :whistle:. What do you think it was?:)

Rainy and cool all day. Snow reported in the Northwest suburbs this morning.

Right now, raining and 40F. Sump-pump running about every fifteen minutes or so.

Is it usual for your place in May?
Here, it looked like starting summer earlier this week, the next one even a heat wave expected. I don't think it's like usual, but anyway, the week after that there's a drop expected, and the first days of June are forecast to be moderate. Rains are also expected - but judging by a recent oops in such a rainy 'promise', nobody knows...:left:
