"I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be" Douglas Adams - Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

lrai

I am always reading some book. In the past 17 years here in China finding books in English isn't easy, but I have been lucky to work for a company that keeps an English book library. I have read nearly every book in that library including some I would never have read if I had more choices, LOL. One ...

lrai

I forgot to include some of Jules Verne's works when I made my list. Out of all the books he wrote, I'd probably choose "Around the World in 80 Days" . I read it in the original French back in college and I loved it. Have you ever dreamed of being like monsieur Phileas Fogg? I have! 😃 [br...

lrai

I am not exactly motivated that way, but good for you. There are deeper issues I'd like answers to but I am content that I won't get them this side of eternity. LOL

lrai

Yes, but it's a well, they also show another one in the episode with the woman who has the issue of blood, it's a well. There is another one in the Christmas special called the Shepherd where there are women drawing water and the shepherds stop by for a drink. There are many wells, just curious, why...

lrai

There is an episode where they show Jacob's well, and in that episode Jesus meets the Samaritan woman, I believe it's at the end of season 2

lrai

My guess is it looked more like what we see in THE Chosen than the photo you have here. There would have been a well and nearby there would have been a place for watering the herds. That is my guess. While this photo is lovely I am fairly sure it didn't look like this, not in the desert.

lrai

Corinnebelle: Think of it this way, if all they had were boys, where did those boys come from if it implies a shortage of girls?? If you want a good example of that in real life, look at China and you can see the outcome of a one child policy where boys matter and girls really don't. That didn't go ...

lrai

Corinnebelle:

I am fairly sure daughters were born first, but in recording births at that time only sons mattered, hence you record them. However, going back to the lineage of Christ you see a few women are mentioned which signifies a change in "our" status, LOL

lrai

Okay I can see what you mean now, but to be honest it would be hard to know just how many and I guess from my viewpoint, it really doesn't matter to me. Genesis has a lot of this one begot that one etc. While genealogy can be useful for some things I am just not that inclined to spend much time on i...

lrai

Corinnebelle: I am confused how you got to 5 sons when you can only name 3?? Why 5, does that have a special meaning to you? Yes, it is true that the bible tells us that Adam had sons (plural) and daughters but it gives us NO numbers on how many of each other than to name the 3 sons. I think that is...

lrai

This is an issue that just keeps coming up. So, last week I couldn't log in for two days in a row which meant I used up two more of my streak freezes then all was good and this week once again I am not able to log-in and today I am still waiting to see if DL will allow me in before I have to use up ...

lrai

Okay today I was able to log in...funny thing however I used up 3 of my 4 streak freezes (not b/c of anything I did) and now the quests are gone and I am back to just 2 steak freezes. Hmmm, I guess that might have been why I couldn't log in...just guessing. I just want to do my lessons at my pace an...

lrai

Thomas:

That probably is the case but it shouldn't affect the fact I have an account and one with a 1300+ streak...I do exist, really I do.

lrai

I submitted a report this morning, now let's see how long it will take them to fix it. This should be fun....

lrai

Thomas: Thank you but I have not been hacked, this seems to happen whenever DL does some kind of update. Then it goes away until the next time. Yesterday with a VPN I could finally get in before it used up a streak freeze but this morning once again I don't seem to exist. To be honest with all I am ...

lrai

DL must be doing some thing again b/c yesterday and again today I can't log in. After a 1300 day streak it says I don't exist..hmmm, not sure how that happens. I may not be really computer savvy but this just makes no sense at all.

Just venting again...sorry.

lrai

Another change just happened the purple is gone and now it's back to gold. Just pick a color and stick to it, LOL. I give up, my focus is now strictly on doing my lesson each day and ignoring all the nonsense that the DL people think I really care about!

lrai

Okay, today everything was different on the site and my purple went away and the Legendary is not the same, I am too OCD to deal with this much change. LOL I guess I am just too old and like things to stay consistent, changes really throw me and it will take some time for me to get used to the chang...

EranBarLev:

Yep but then where else will you spend these stupid gems???

lrai

Dear JudieLC:

My password wasn't the problem...but thanks for letting others know about this issue. I am still not sure why this happens but it did clear yesterday after many attempts, now let's see what today will be like, LOL

lrai

Just trying to see if it's ONLY me or if anyone else has the following issue: I tried this morning to sign in but DL says there is NO account for that user. Funny, I have over 1200 days of a streak using that account but for some reason today I don't seem to exist. Not the first time I have had this...

lrai

I know exactly what you mean. The quest feature suddenly popped up a few months ago on my DL, at first it was no big deal, but now it's become a headache for me. The 30 per month was okay, one a day, but now it's 50 this month and I refuse to be sucked into it. Also, I can do a lesson and for some r...

lrai

Dear Ian: Your health comes first. I only do one lesson a day but then the monthly quest appeared and I am a bit OCD and found myself sucked in. I had to discipline myself to only do a max of three lessons in a day. However the quest fairy doesn't always seem to count them. I have to weigh in on the...

lrai

Dear EranBarLev:

It seems to be working b/c I am doing it now. I never noticed if I spent lingots to do legendary or not. I have over 12,000 gems and I had over 9,000 lingots so I didn't give it much thought. Sorry I can't be of more insight.

lrai

My lingots also were converted to gems, and to be honest I don't see any difference. There was not much you could do with lingots other than buy a streak freeze, and gems seem to be the same. For those who lost lingots and didn't get gems, my condolences to you. I would tell you to contact Duo but t...

lrai

Ian, I am no spring chicken so I totally get it. Stop the stress and don't do this to yourself it isn't worth it. I used my lingots to buy steak freezes to use this year as I went into the hospital for 2 weeks and there was no way I was doing lessons while there. I have no idea why they took my ling...

lrai

I don't really keep track b/c other than buying streak freezes I don't and can't use my lingots for anything. However this week my lingots were taken away and replaced with gems. I am not sure what the difference is but I found it interesting. Also I have a heart symbol with an infinity symbol next ...

lrai

I totally forgot about the first switchboard I worked (one of many jobs I had as a teen), it was where you had to plug the call to the person they wanted to speak to...it was fast and furious at times. I remember once getting so frustrated I disconnected everyone, needless to say I didn't last long ...

lrai

I think all of us who are "older" feel the same way...if only we knew then what we know NOW. I had the original Barbie, and Ken, but alas they are in B & K heaven now. I also had "wig" Barbie and it was at that point I learned that cutting hair would not be a good profession ...
