How come sometimes you speak (type) perfect English and other times (mostly) you put on the broken_English act? Think it's cute or something?

What's you regular screen name?

Sometimes, my father asks me to edit his English because he knows sometime he is not understood by Americans. Mostly I tell him it's OK and everyone here will understand. Most people here are actual travelers and get past the languange challenge.
What country are you from?

It's the sound of <b>Freedom</b>, ain't it great!!! It's a shamed that so many people take it for granted. ((b))

I don't hear anything in the Financial District (Montgomery @ Sacramento)

Buses and BART are bad this morning, everyone at work noticed.

The Blue Angels arrived today (Wed. 10/4) at SFO around 12:30 p.m.


What is it you were &quot;hearing and seeing&quot; on Monday? Hmm?

I don't believe they fly to Monterey on their practices. When they used to come to Moffett Field I could see everything and they were not that far away.

Rugpilot...are you always pulling our leg? or just sometimes? Are you tongue in cheek? Or, god help us, are you not?

No wonder Faina hasn't been posting that much lately...The Fleet's in! O:)

Budman Oct 5th, 2006 06:37 AM

She's invited the Fleet for a GTG? :-) ((b))

Kal Oct 5th, 2006 06:39 AM

...but she's rotten to the Corp. :))

Can't figure out where A.R. is hearing and seeing, nothing over Market St today, will see and hear anti-war demonstrations ON Market at noon.

FainaAgain Oct 5th, 2006 08:22 AM

Are you guys asking me to post more often? Buckle up! ;)

FainaAgain Oct 5th, 2006 08:23 AM

Shanghainese, when was this commotion with the fire in the Market @ 5th area? Maybe this was what he was hearing? Was it Monday?

Shanghainese Oct 5th, 2006 09:31 AM

Can't help, Faina, I wasn't in the city on Monday. Now go girl, don't put up with Kal, hit him with your umbrella, you need it today.

Kal Oct 5th, 2006 09:32 AM

Oh noooooooooooooo...we were just wondering where you were. :-d

Armani_Rugpilot Oct 5th, 2006 09:50 AM

Not hearing today. Was hearing on 2nd OCT. Very North + South flight line overhead and visible for many miles from my home for that day. Was working all the week ,not hearing more jets since then. I living in Silicon Valey, not in the SF.

That's interesting, because they came in yesterday from Cape Cod Massachusetts where they had been for the previous week.

FainaAgain Oct 5th, 2006 10:34 AM

NOW I hear them! And as my co-workers hear them too, I know I'm not hallucinating :)

To hit Kal with umbrella? Let me see... Nah, I better show him a wine bottle and take it away ;)

FainaAgain Oct 5th, 2006 10:42 AM

Armani, maybe there was fire, and you heard the fire pilots trying to put it out?

Armani_Rugpilot Oct 5th, 2006 01:40 PM

Not fire planes. Jets for airshow. I knowing what I hear. Mabye I cannot say in English exactly how I'm thinking but you knowing what we both hear today, too. I hear the jet about 30minute ago.
