«««««
I conceive that there is nothing which gives a man more pause before taking as absolute what his feelings welcome, and his mind deems plausible, than even the flicker of recollection that something of the sort has been tried before, felt before, disputed before, and for some reason or other has now quite gone into Limbo.

I asked my hubby, who is a more advanced #German student than me, what #GermanSpeakers use to indicate a #pause or #hesitation in speaking, and he didn’t know either.

- it comes to my mind ...
- to observe ...
- that I sense ...
- to have been a little ...
... too free. Finally it has come out: "I have been too free."
In the construction "I observe ... that I sense", #introspection becomes sentence structure, #diary becomes #style.

Grand froid provoqué par le sénateur de gauche qui explique que le CMP n'est pas légitime car les députés n'ont pas voté la loi de la retraite donc pas de mandat

Had a brief visit to the 'other site' today to see how many medical and social equity folks I followed had moved over to Mastodon. Sorry to read that in spite of knowing that they're going down in flames, many of them find it 'too challenging' to relocate.
