Bonus question :  If euthanasia could be made retrospective, my choice would be Gord Downie (sorry Syanne) because he's a sad excuse for a vocalist.End Quote

Well, they're Canadian so that gives them a certain advantage over others...but listening to Gord sing is like listening to Katherine Hepburn......seriously....imagine Katherine singing to Henry Fonda in On Golden Pond...They shot a movie once in my hometown...everyone was in it for miles around...

See what I mean? ;)

Quoting:Euthanasia should be legal in certain cases but not all. I believe these groups that say "No" have not had anybody
suffering bad enough to want to let go. It is heartbreaking.

RR - it wasn't meant to be a question about whether euthanasia is right or wrong...

Although my wording has obviously left a bit to be desired, because a number of people have not gone near it..

It was simply another way of saying :

If you could go back and save the world from having to have put up with someone, who would that someone have been ?  EG : A number of Ugandans might have Idi Amin come to mind....etc

Nothing more than that.

Niagara Falls or Grand Canyon ? I've only been to Niagara...and I gotta say that Canada's Niagara is nicer than the US's...I'm not just bein' a homer..it really is bigger and more impressive, however both together makes it pretty spectacular to see....I really wanna go to the Grand Canyon but still haven't made it...

Yep, must agree with you that the Canadian side is better…and this opinion is from an American who's been there…

Howcum everyone is having such a hard time with plume or ice? It was perfectly clear to me! ;) :D ;D
End Quote

"Plume"???  as in "La plume de ma tante est dans le jardin"?

(from the song:)
La plume de ma tante est dans le jardin
Et je crois qu'on y vois l'étandard sanglant
Ou tout les bonnes Marseillaise
Ont écrasé tout leurs fraises
C'est dans le jardin

...prizes for the best translation, but I'll bet nobody knows who wrote it ;-)

Would plume here be plume? or ink pen? I'll give it a try with plume... (This is off the cuff, without a dictionary, so give me some latitude here....)

My Aunt's plume is in the garden
And I believe one sees in it, the bloody standard
Where all the good Marseillies
Have inscribed? all their sentences (phrases?)
This is in the garden....

How'd I do? ;)

(Hope it is not virtual Madeline giving out the prizes..... :( )

Uh, what?  Still don't get it.  Please explain.
(At least somebody explained to me what "elephant ears" are.  Being unfamiliar with them, I chose "cotton candy" because I knew what cotton candy was but not "elephant ears")

Not bad - actual translation (using "feather" for plume runs as follows):
My aunt's feather is in the garden
And I think I see there the bloody standard (that's the one from La Marseillaise, the French National Anthem)
Where all the good folks of Marseille
Crushed their strawberries
It's in the garden

...I don't know exactly what my father was on when he wrote it (there's another couple of verses, too, and it was written about twenty years after the last time he spoke any French.  Now you see where I get it from ;-))

Pretty funny Phil!

"crushed their strawberries?" :o

I knew "fraises" was familiar, but I couldn't place it... my French is 25 years behind me too, alas.... And I never spoke it, only read it.....

I'm never gonna get it if no one explains it to me, and if you don't, who will?  (But thanks for letting me in on what "elephant ears" are because to me they're either the auricular lobes on a pachyderm or some kind of plant that looks like them)
