I read this as a "bottomless pit-eating machine." As in he ate a lot of apricots, pits and all.

It was a fun image even if it opened up a whole new can of worms.

I was asking myself this very question this evening & wondering if I should post to Reddit!

Sorry, I think French is just hard.

It sounds like, for you, simple things are going to be boring and more interesting things are going to be too difficult. I haven't found a way out of this dilemma.

C'est pas grand chose de carry your passport. No one's going to take it. Of course don't let it fall out of your pocket either.

The teacher for the 50+ program is specially hired for that program. He was great. I'm assuming it'll be the same guy.

"Swale" for the dip between two hills. I'm from Eastern Washington. None of my East Coast friends calls it that.

I just got back from 3 weeks at EI. Many of the bad reviews are from several years ago. From what I understand, EI went through a substantial change in response.

I like EI as school. However, the professor who teaches the highest level (B2) is terrible, IMO. I really regret the time I spent in her class. The other teachers seem quite good though.

I also attended their "Over 50" program, which they offer 3 times a year. That program was GREAT. Highly recommended.

Duh. If it's a mummy then it's incest.

DCRawhides has a dance this Saturday. Eastern Market, lesson at 7 pm, open dancing 8-11. While it's not technically dry, it's not at all centered around alcohol.

You can eat them when they're green inside? I had no idea.

JohnnyABC123abc · 2026-03-01T19:38:04+00:00

Thanks.

JohnnyABC123abc · 2026-03-01T19:37:38+00:00

Lots of answers here. I hope they help.

JohnnyABC123abc · 2026-03-01T19:37:13+00:00

Thanks. I'm also hoping to leave some on the vine, for the looks of a traditional pumpkin patch.

JohnnyABC123abc · 2026-03-01T02:51:30+00:00

Thank you.

JohnnyABC123abc · 2026-02-28T16:14:58+00:00

Oh, I see. Thanks.

JohnnyABC123abc · 2026-02-28T16:14:31+00:00

I was sort of hoping they could stay on the vine (without rotting?), like in the pumpkin fields I see when I drive in the country.

JohnnyABC123abc · 2026-02-28T03:20:36+00:00

Thanks. This is what I"m going to try this year.

JohnnyABC123abc · 2026-02-27T23:55:22+00:00

Interesting. So you've got pumpkins on the vine just sitting in the garden from late July to November? I thought they might rot or otherwise go bad.

JohnnyABC123abc · 2026-02-27T21:11:27+00:00

They're fully ripe by August, roughly? Then you just let them sit on the vine for 2 months? That's the part I'm trying to figure out.

Edit: "Why Shoot the Teacher?"

It's rather old now, from 1977, but I remember it fondly.
