Cheb has a 2014 Volkswagen Jetta SE (with turbo and PZEV option). Bought it used with 33k miles on it. Couldn’t be happier with it.

Thanks. I appreciate it.  lusone:

You know when your sick, and nothing tastes good....yeah, that.

Blackberry brandy is very medicinal.  Just make sure you get the one with the drunken Polack on the front (I'm not kidding).

No problem. I don't mind putting in a little leg work here and there.

Are you familiar with Ravelry? I'm TnyPirate over there, you can stalk my projects if you'd like. This hat is what I'm currently working on. And I do My Favorite Murder, Criminal (which isn't all murder, but very good), Serial, True Crime Garage, Real Crime Profile, Martinis and Murder...

Aw, you don't listen to Small Town Murder?  One of my favorite murder podcasts since it's two comedians making fun throughout (except the people who were murdered, because they're assholes, not scumbags).

Nope, but adding it now! I'm a total podcast junkie. Murder podcasts aren't the only ones I listen to.

Yes! I will check out your projects! I'm thecozybird on Ravelry, but I'm not very good about updating it with my projects.

I like the organization. My stash is out of date by about 6 months, though. I really need to add all the stuff I've bought recently.

Before buckling down to study for the PE, I was trying to re-learn Spanish using Duolingo (I took Spanish is middle school). But I was torn between French & Spanish (I took French in middle school and into HS). 

idk how I feel about Duolingo since I legit kept going through the same sentences over and over and over. I get that repetition helps seal it into your head. But it got old real fast since they were simple sentences: yo vivo aqui (idk how to do accents on my computer, sorry)

As a multi-language learner, I'm not really in favor of most apps and programs (I've literally used almost all of them) for learning a language for "real". Nothing, and I mean nothing, beats a real pen-and-paper class at community college, or moving abroad, or dating someone who is bilingual (native proficiency). It's like the PE, nothing takes the place of time spent with pen and paper.

I do have some hacks though. For example, even with no formal grammar lessons, you can get yourself 50-60% of your intelligibility from just memorizing vocabulary (please remember to also memorize the gender) in almost any language. Still takes time, but that's time you can steal throughout the day.

I listen to them a lot when I drive.  But now that my commute is only 10-minutes...I do not listen to podcasts as much.

I vote to send @JayKay PE as ambassador to Ukraine.

Buying easy-readers in other languages helps, too.

Also, the "slow news" podcasts are great.
