    I’m surprised their prices are exploding like that again. I was beginning to think I’d paid a tad much (before customs). Maybe it’s because of tax returns?

      Could be that, or could be because they are so dang gorgeous!!!

        Mais évidemment! Si tu peux bien lire et écrire, (and I assume you can since you aced your exam) c’est sûr que tu peux bien parler! Une bonne étudiante comme toi, franchement… 😆

        Eh, Medley, je trouve je trouve la lecture et l’écriture d’être plus facile que le discours. Surtout parce que le discours dans l’examen concentrée sur la philosophie du Maupassant et du Sartre… Et je trouve la philosophie est pas du matière conversationnelle en français. Ca c’est mon problème. 😆
        say what???

          He’s home, looking very regal and doing his utmost to help me forget how much more expensive he was than I’d wanted. Live and learn, I guess. The fee was made up of 41.40 for customs and 53.65 for sales tax. Much more of this and it’ll be cheaper to rent a Learjet and go pick them up in person.

          Plus then you get to meet everyone

            I was wondering why the price on these guys has not gone down. The black gold went down. One went for around $250. These guys are not getting any CHEAPER though!! I may actually miss out, but now I can see why. They are AWESOME! Now I REALLY want one!!!

            The Flames went as low as $330.00, and 18 of the 24 sold under $400.00! I really wanted to get one of the BEP but I guess I’m going to have to pass, I just don’t have that kind of money right now 🙁

            There are still 24 Black Violet Peacock coming, I’ll definitely have a try at one of those, but I wanted one of each. Oh, well. Maybe I’ll win the lottery 😀

                At least, I hope it says that. 😆

                😆 I’m so sorry I missed those Flame auctions. I love that bright coloring.

                  Yup, you got it. Man, can’t they find something more interesting to discuss? I avoided the philosophers in university. Conversation should be about your last vacation, not heavy stuff like that.

                  Don’t I wish! I have three French books that my class prepared for Monday: Sartre’s Huis Clos, Maupassant’s Une Vie (which has got to be the most boring book I’ve ever finished), and Molière’s L’Avare. Of course I love L’Avare, but the profs will most likely hang on the significance of the absence of mirrors in Sartre’s hell. 🙄

                    I never had Maupassant for some reason… The one author I wasn’t able to finish was Proust. And he got a Nobel prize too!

                    Good luck!

                    Thanks – I think I’ll need it. Proust is awful – and I’ve only read excerpts of his.
