I am currently sitting in front of my computer, which is in my kitchen, waiting for something to finish cooking in my microwave.
As I will be eating shortly, one might well wonder why I chose to sign in, or why I feel compelled to share this uninteresting news with you.
Well, I did not know that within 5 minutes of me signing in, my son was going to ask if I fancied something to eat, which I do... because I'm hungry. So, now I'm sitting here thinking, "Don't get too involved with the forum discussions, or at least not until after I've eaten."
"That's all well and good", you might think, "but why are you telling us all this?"
Um, I have no idea. None whatsoever.

If only I knew which post of the billions in this thread.
i sometimes eat the first bit of chocolate before I start the savoury. Then finish the bar after. Silly behaviour but not illegal
My Hebrew grammar is appalling despite spending hours learning tenses when I was at school. I generally use Hebrew for religious study, so I use my reading skills a lot more than speaking or writing.
I was of the generation that wasn't taught English grammar on the grounds that it would stifle our creativity. I mostly picked up English grammar by reading a lot, but not knowing the proper grammatical terms and so on has really hampered my learning of foreign languages.
Sometimes, but not often. Also, sometimes the 'afters' can be the starters. As you can probably guess, we have relaxed attitudes in my home.
Best post in the whole thing
That was the one I was thinking of!
The qal imperfect today. I think I've got it worked out, but whether I keep remembering it is another matter! And I keep forgetting the Hebrew for remember, which embarrasses me each time I do it, even though nobody knows but me and God (and now this thread...!) I've only been doing it since autumn, I'm finding it difficult but fun.
Arrgh, I'm half-an-hour late to reply! This is the problem with what's become the fast-moving world of The Snake & Pygmy Diaries.
I realised after posting that it probably could be interpreted in offensive ways, which wasn't my intention!
I'm doing it while blogging!
Do you mind if I ask what your Hebrew homework is? I'm not fluent, but can read biblical Hebrew reasonably well, Mishnaic and modern Hebrew less so. I did GCSE Modern Hebrew and feel I should be better than I am.
Yes, yes, yes. Thanks AuTriker, you have just reminded me of a BT advert with Maureen Lipman. "You got an ology!"

It's a curious thing because, truthfully, both of you make me laugh as much as anyone.
Try keeping up in here while doing Hebrew homework! I'm not usually good at task switching either. Maybe I'm not really autistic?! Nah, pretty sure I still am - and even if I wasn't, I must be now after being in this trhead so long!
Luftmentsch, I'm not quite sure how to interpret that.
Good, but confusing.
As Sparkly wrote, I too can't keep up. Even my glasses are going cross-eyed.
Erm, is that a good thing or a bad thing?
It's like faith healing in reverse.
Humour is a funny old thing Luna, and is subjective. Appeals to some, but not everyone. Some people struggle with humour, whilst others don't. I feel touched that despite struggling with humour, my post managed to make you laugh.
I wasn't autistic until I entered this thread...
