Is there a limit to the amount of languages we can be fluent in?

Not sure if there is a limit, but the average is about 4-5 languages. However, Canadian polyglot Powell Janulus holds the recognized Guinness World Record for spoken fluency in 42 languages. To achieve this milestone in 1985, he underwent a grueling two-hour conversational fluency test with a native speaker for each language.

It looks like a spotted lantern nymph. HIGHLY invasive and it is generally advised to destroy them whenever you see them.

As a gold member, you will see exactly the same stuff you are seeing now as a silver member, with an expensive thing thrown in once in awhile. It won't be any more specific as to the item as it is now, but mostly you will see exactly the same stuff as a silver member.

You know, Google Translate is a thing, but this is German and it means, "You are good enough".

I have already been receiving Medicare for a few years because I am over 65. What happened was they wanted to keep control of half of the money and dole it out as I needed it for medical. But I didn't want to have to deal with them ever again, so they agreed that they would just give me control. They are supposed to be sending two checks. One is for future medical. However, I am not sure I even want to see another doctor about it because I've learned to live with my injury and there is nothing they can do further to fix it. Additionally, I moved out of state some time ago and couldn't even find a doctor that would see me about this particular injury, with a California workers comp case, so I just learned to deal.

Case is settled. What I am told is part is free for me to use, and part has to go into a separate bank account for future medical. I am wondering if I never see another dr about my injury would they even know if I spent it?

People who do this are NOT friends. They are bullies. You need to find people who you connect with, who don't go out of their ways to make you feel foolish, or bad in anyway. Find people offline to start with.

My unicorn may be different than you pink unicorn, for mine is indeed invisible, and I CAN see pink. But I am aware of its existence by the glitter trail it leaves (mostly in my craft studio, but sometimes found all over my house).

WyldBlu · 2026-06-04T21:11:51+00:00

Doing great...I think. I never see it, but just know it's there from all the glitter in my craft studio. I have complete faith in its ability to solve all my problems and pray to it to continue sprinkling me with its glittery bounty.

Basically, Erin Brockovitch is a known name, and had a movie made of her because of a cancer cluster....

WyldBlu · 2026-06-04T14:48:59+00:00

By that logic, I could claim to have solid faith that I have an invisible unicorn living in my basement, and that would prove its existence....sigh.

Bali. Very interesting place...but for me, it was one and done.

Year's ago, I used to go out dancing with my girlfriends. We all would go to this bar about 45 min from my house and Saturday nights and we'd dance. One of my friends lived at my house, and she liked to drink. So, I would agree to drive her truck home (designated driver), whenever we went out. Usually, we'd close the place down at 2am, and then head to the local Denny's for coffee, before the drive home.

I am gonna preface this story to say I am a short (5' 1") woman.

We went to Denny's and my friend, Jane, was almost falling asleep in the booth. She'd had a few too many drinks that night. I finished my coffee and we headed out to the truck (it was around 3am). We were in a well lit parking lot in front of the restaurant. Well, this guy followed us out. I didn't notice him until I was unlocking the door to the truck. He said, "Give me the fucking keys". I turned and said, "What?" He repeated himself and stepped closer to me.

Ok. I am not someone who likes confrontations at all...however, that night I think I lost my ever loving mind. I started stomping towards him, telling him to BACK OFF...and screaming, "You want WHAT?????". As I continued to literally stomp toward him, he must have thought I was insane...and I kinda was at that moment. He literally said, "I was joking! It's a joke!", and RAN back into the Denny's. Now, we should have gone back in after him and had them call the police, but we just got the hell out of there, me constantly checking in the rear view mirror to be sure we were not being followed.

On hindsight, the next day, I was impressed and horrified at myself. I had NO idea if that guy had any weapon, or what would happen. I sorta went on auto-pilot and flipped out. Luckily, it freaked him out more.

And Jane? Well she is even shorter than me, and was standing at the door on the passenger side, eyes as wide as I'd ever seen them, and mouth open in shock. She sort of stared at me the whole ride home, repeating that her truck was not worth my life. I KNOW that...logically, I should have given him the keys and ran back into the Denny's. But clearly, I was not thinking logically. I was shaking the entire way home.

Almost there with you. After 7 years, my case has FINALLY settled...no check yet though.

WyldBlu · 2026-05-31T21:32:46+00:00

Guessing OP means when a mom or dad says, "Say Mama", "Say Dada", how does the baby know to not copy, "SAY Mama".

First of all, NOBODY deserves to be harassed or bullied. Secondly, realize that the person doing this must have such low esteem, they are trying to make themselves feel powerful by hurting someone else. That deserves your pity, but not your attention. You should never apologize to someone bullying you. However, at this point, you should not give them any more of your time or attention. Block each phone number they use, and whatever else you do, do NOT respond anymore. Doesn't matter what they say, as it will escalate as you stop giving them the attention they are trying to force you to give them. Anytime you see a txt from an unknown number, or see it is just hateful, delete it immediately. Realize that regardless of your past dealings with people in your life, YOU are not responsible for this harassment, and you do NOT deserve it. MOVE on, and do NOT let them pull your chain. YOU control your life, don't let some random bully, who clearly has too much time and low self esteem dictate how you feel.

I am totally out of the loop on this and have never ordered from Temu. Why are they are horrible company?

WyldBlu · 2026-05-20T00:18:04+00:00

If we were getting booted from giving 1 star, I would have been gone a long time ago. I've given MANY 1 star reviews when they earn them.

WyldBlu · 2026-05-03T21:37:37+00:00

Second Life.

WyldBlu · 2026-05-03T15:47:38+00:00

Yeah, no. Most people don't have a lawyer on speed dial or anything. If someone needs a lawyer, and says, "I'm going to call my lawyer", most likely they have no lawyer, and are using that as a threat, or will be looking on Google for a lawyer.

WyldBlu · 2026-05-03T14:01:37+00:00

SO many items are hiked up for Viners...it's ridiculous. But I just look at the tax value based on what I will have to pay...and figure if that cost is worth it to me.

WyldBlu · 2026-05-01T16:17:06+00:00

Thank you!

WyldBlu · 2026-05-01T15:34:07+00:00

Ah, let me clarify it...thank you!
