Still got a lot here, though. I'm older than you though, and get to interact with that last generation of native French-speakers.
I am in opposite case. You go bit out of city and you wouldn't be able to find any native English-speaker!

Be wise, thoughtful and compassionate.

Before one writes/posts or speaks - THINK!
T - is it True?
H - is it Helpful?
I - is it Inspiring?
N - is it Necessary?
K - is it Kind?

As regards your question "What can I do to improve my health?", I probably shouldn't say this but, I recommend that you give up, there is nothing an idiot like you can do.

No - I just pick up such gems here and there. It is very similar to words I read in high school 40+ years ago.

I'm surprised. In my home town in N.H. the last wave of native French speakers arrived before WW I. My grandmother was literally the last one of those immigrants to my home town alive. She died in 2002 having lived to be 103.

Around the time of WWII, Several industries moved to this area, including some wood-products mills and a very large veneer mill. Some of those mills moved here from the St.John Valley, and native French speakers came with them.

Jimmy and Astronuc are siblings, aren't they ? I guess Astronuc is Jimmy's younger sister.

Time to switch to another platform? Or better yet, to become platform independent.

People often misunderstand mythology : we're not only Sisyphus, per example, we're his rock as well.

Gad, I just have had a conversation with my faraway mate about the importance of xml's attributes which he told me to ignore all because they were of no importance. If he was sincere, then that is clearly off-ground, all of them are essential for the server to retrieve correct location of node and its value. If he wasn't, then Gad was right: I shouldn't have climbed up top the mountain to later walk down on bare feet.
