QUOTE(Panama_Pete @ Jan 18 2007, 11:03 AM) [snapback]170904[/snapback] Oh, no. West Frankfort, not West Frankfurt? Now you tell me.  You got it right, Pete. The place with the only Hamburger comes between a bun, with pickles and mustard, and not from a city in northern Germany.  Sorry, I am just a bit silly today with all the recent nonsense from the Shelton Clan.

QUOTE(västergötland @ Jan 18 2007, 10:11 AM) [snapback]170925[/snapback] That would be highly supprising. Okay, you caught me! I've always enjoyed languages and have watched many subtitled German documentaries, so I guess I picked up a few words that way. What I think I do know is: Ich = I nicht = not sie spricht deutsch = she speaks German werden = wording, I think The rest I just guessed at. Guess you all could tell.

I think "werden" is a gramatically bent form of "to be". I couldnt tell you the correct grammar term for it though.

But let this be a lesson to you all here, the people at BSDA are of the INTELLIGENT kind!! Aw, thanks. I did hear German from time to time as a child but it didn't stick too well. One of my favorite stories about by great grandfather happened shortly after he moved his family out to California from North Dakota in the early part of the 20th century. He was driving his car into the garage when everyone inside the house heard him yelling (in German, of course) "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" followed by a huge crash as he drove through the back wall. He had only had the car for a little over a month and was still used to the team of horses that pulled the wagon on their farm, not the horses under the hood! But now I have strayed again.

QUOTE(PeacefullyBewildered @ Jan 18 2007, 09:38 AM) [snapback]170933[/snapback] Johann, do you have any updates on how Linda is doing? Is she pleased with how the investigation is proceeding? How about the website? I'm sure Johann can tell you some things with regard to Linda, but I can also tell you that she is doing very well! She is busy and doing things she has wanted to do for some time. She knows that life is not easy, but that God is good, and she trusts Him completely. Her faith has grown and it's a blessing to me. As for her personal website, she plans to update it soon.
