I haven’t seen cold turkey but I think if you combine that is with Dr Wicked’s write or die and you’d be unstoppable :)
My fridge food is a lifesaver!! Already got one great meal :)
Well, I’ve been inspired to trash my collection of manuals. Checked them on the website first of course. Good riddance.
I need all the help I can get. But these really are very useful, especially amazed by Duolingo!
Duolingo rocks. Just start with one lesson daily and quickly you will go to 2, 3, 4 lessons.
Works for me!
