that will never happen so we are now friends for life 
super cool new hobbies - so much fun! I did start reading technical Japanese at my last job and found it very fascinating that i was able to pick up so quickly. Practice and consistency help - wishing you luck with both

@anon74766472 you’re WAY ahead of me !! 
I swear it doesn’t stay in my brain! Although I’ll admit I haven’t been consistent.
I guess in between English and Spanish my brain doesn’t have space for more… time to delete some bad memories I guess

baby steps my friend - the mind is an amazing organ - can soak up so much more than we give it credit for… and a sober mind is unstoppable! 
Haha, I don’t even know if this is correct. One of our clients is a big Korean company and most of their documents are bilingual and I only see smileys all day. But deepl is really good to translate into Korean… actually more accurate than French - German

That’s interesting! I’ve been practicing on an app but I wonder how it’ll work when I have to write Korean on paper…. Let’s say my stick figures didn’t evolve from kindergarten

Thanks for checking in on me… I am ok with all the crazy fires that are devastating the island of Maui right now and all I can do is pray 
for the ones that are truly affected by this. The sad part is that old Lahaina town where I work is gone and we were able to save one of our boats before the harbor caught on fire and from what I’m hearing that the fire is still not contained

Thank you I’m just worried about my coworkers who live in the area that’s been affected and all my friends in the rooms of AA and NA who live on that side we haven’t had contact with some because of cellular service being down and power and Internet is also out in Lahaina and they are not letting anyone into Lahaina so I can’t physically go and check in on them on a good note I am still clean and working my program and been giving up my days off to do H&I service to the treatment center to share my experience strength and hope. Thanks again for the check in it really means a lot

Thx Jenn - I am still dropping in daily but I haven’t been posting as much. Summer is busy season for painters in this climate (Canada - we do 50% of our annual revenue between June and August), so it is hard for me to find time to tidy the house and make my lunches, and then I don’t have much time online.
I do drop by and scroll through though, and I’ve been posting here and there, simple posts to welcome people and give encouragement 
Thx for checking in Jenn. You’re a good friend; I appreciate it
