"Tempestuous" makes much more sense. <BR/><BR/>Oddly, I think I actually *would* describe myself as an optimist. In the long run, everything is going to be fine, even though we might all be dead by then. :)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks again!Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13246990884639753146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20440617.post-4139279436586808832008-08-31T19:02:00.000-07:002008-08-31T19:02:00.000-07:00You are very much welcome :) If you are interested...You are very much welcome :) If you are interested, the translation would be:<BR/><BR/>"I already linked there a short while ago.

I quoted your last paragraph, and my comment was (roughly translated) "It's not like she is the most optimist girl in the block, but Grace is an awesome writer".CPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05060660472767938848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20440617.post-28845582298011702722008-08-31T09:49:00.000-07:002008-08-31T09:49:00.000-07:00Wish my Spanish were better, but I understand enou...Wish my Spanish were better, but I understand enough to say thanks very much!
