The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Mary,

Always good to hear from you. It sounds as though you are doing well and your health issues are hopefully behind you. I don't remember if I shared with you that I lived in Castres, Languedoc, for a year as an au pair. I remember many asking me about US politics even then, amazed that we had elected Le Cowboy as POTUS, (Reagan.) Are they still that willing to discuss difficult things or are they more cautious? Loved the local accent...was almost like singing.

Almost married a local, but I think I was more in love with his family and the country and wisely flew home. I really related to the way of living there, and it sounds as though it hasn't changed much!

Thanks for playing!
