Yes, it wasn't for me. I know people have had success with it, just not me, LOL!

I got bored really easy with it. It also seemed impractical, but that could be because I desperately needed a "quick fix" so to say, and it clearly wasn't doing the job. It also didn't give me enough grammar...I have learned that I need the grammar part in order to understand how to put things together.

Hmmmmmmmmm.

This does not help me with my decision! lol

H and I really want to learn Spanish, and we would totally shell out for Rosetta Stone if we were really confident that it would work, but I am reluctant to plunk down at much money for something that might just be clever marketing.

Well if our post office didn't suck and wasn't on strike, I'd send you a copy for like $10. When they go off strike, I can try to send you one, if you'd like.

Ooooooh, really? I would love you forever! Why are they on strike? Does this mean you don't have to pay bills?

God knows why they are on strike, and god knows how long it will last. It's really freakin' annoying though.

Sadly, we don't pay bills through the mail. We make transfers directly to people's accounts. It's pretty weird to have someone give us their account number and transfer funds to it. Our lease has our landlord's account information on it; it was alarming at first.

I wish our apartment complex did that. It seems ridiculous, but it is such a pain in the ass to remember to walk the check down to the office during business hours on the right day. I want autopsy, damn it!

[Jalapeñomel]

I will for sure let you know when they go off strike, and I will send you a copy. Do you have a Mac or PC?

[Doc_Lobster]

Mac at home, but I have a windows virtual machine on it.
