Hercandle that was the last to extinguish every year and that was obscure to M. No hint of a permission

For hours or like that. The black wicks flames leaning in a wing-dance for a while. The snuff of their consumption, drops
of it would run on the side of the candle between times, … hardening back in its snuff again. A sharp race to the
end of the span of life. Last gasp endingIn the short time she was staring at it, looking in her mind on the white snow. On flakes falling gently. The

anything else.M sensed tranquility. Light and love and youth. Hope. Beauty

líonra ríomhaire baile | ||
Fuair mo ródaire bás deich lá ó shin | ||
Ní raibh aon idirlíon againn sa bhaile. Fadhb mór. | ||
Thiomáin mé go MicroCenter, siopa ríomhairí mór i SLP | ||
Shíl mé gurb é an siopa is fearr é | ||
Tá sé ar an taobh eile Minneapolis as mo theach. | ||
Throid mé in aghaidh MNDOT trasna an bhaile | ||
Bhí ródaire ASUS ar díol | ||
Shíl mé gur comlacht mhaith é ASUS. | ||
D’oibrigh an sean-ródaire go maith le blianta agus bhí sé ó ASUS | ||
Cheannaigh mé é agus thiomáin mé abhaile | ||
Níos mó trioblóide le trácht | ||
D’iarracht mé an ródaire a chur ar bun sa bhaile | ||
Bhí an chuma air a bheith ag obair ar feadh nóiméad, ach theip air | ||
D’iarracht mé arís | ||
scéal céanna. agus arís | ||
Chuir mé glaoc ar tacaíocht theicniúil | ||
D’iarr an duine orm go leor ceisteanna amaideach orm. | ||
An ndearna tú é seo? Rinne mé. An ndearna tú é sin? Rinne mé. Ar athbhútáil tú an ródaire? Rinne mé. | ||
Ar deireadh, tar éis uair an chloig ar an bhfón, bhí an ródaire ag obair | ||
Chríochnaigh mé an glaoch. | ||
Dhá nóiméad ina dhiaidh sin theip ar an ródaire. | ||
Ba é seo an deireadh | ||
Chaith mé an ródaire seo a thabhairt ar ais ródaire eile a a cheannach | ||
Bhí sé anois ceithre a chlog | ||
Bheadh sé craicealte a thiomáint chuig SLP ag an am sin | ||
Cheannaigh mé ródaire eile ag BB in R | ||
Thug mé an chéad ródaire ar ais go MC an mhaidin dár gcionn | ||
Rinne Linksys, comlachta dhifriúil an ródaire ó BB. | ||
Ar dtús, bhí gach rud go maith | ||
Ansin chonaic muid fadhbanna. | ||
D’oibrigh Wifi le haghaidh roinnt rudaí éigin, ach ní rudaí eile. | ||
bhí ríomhairí go maith. táibléid go maith, rudaí Nintendo go maith | ||
ní raibh iPad ag obair | ||
ní raibh fóin chliste, iPhone agus Android ag obair | ||
Tá rudaí idirlín go leor inár dteach | ||
tacaíocht theicniúil eile | ||
An ndearna tú é seo? Rinne mé. An ndearna tú é sin? Rinne mé. Ar athbhútáil tú an ródaire? Rinne mé. | ||
Bhí Mia agus mé ag labhairt le tacaíocht theicniúil as dhá comhlachta éagsúla | ||
Bhí muid “on hold” ar feadh tamaill | ||
D’fhéach mé timpeall agus chonaic mé “wifi range extender” d’aois a d’úsáid mé blianta ó shin le sean-ródaire eile. | ||
Bhí smaoineamh craiceáilte orm | ||
Chuir mé é isteach sa leictreachas | ||
soilse uaine | ||
Ansin dúirt mo mhac is óige go raibh a iPad agus iPhone ag obair | ||
dúirt mo mhac is sine go raibh a fhón Android ag obair | ||
Bhí fón Android Mia ag obair ina dhiaidh sin. | ||
bhí gach rud ag obair arís | ||
Ní thuigim fós an fáth gur shocraigh an rud seo an fhadhb | ||
Ba Voodoo é. | ||

Johana: Scéalín do chomhrá -greannmhar sasta

Is aisteoir í duine atá aithne agam. fuair mé cureadh go bh-freastal ar
phremiére a scannán sa gcathair, San Francisco, areir. Is dóigh liom go
bhfuil an príomh ról aice sa scannán. chuaigh an scannán, ceistanna agus
freagraí , deoch ina dhiaidh sin, go maith.

Is dóigh liom go … | I am of the opinion that … | |
tá an scannán bunaithe ar bh-fabhalscéal, Tristian agus Isolde.

nuair a d’imigh liom as bloc árasán, bhris an t-ardaitheoir amháin in aice
leis an stáisiún traenach faoi thalamh. níor tharla sé a riamh. iompraíodh
mé sios [anuas] staighre ag grupa na b bpaisinéirí is deise. . seo é an cás
ag an Amharclann na Mainistreach i mbaile atha cliath agus an Dubliner
tábhairne, St. Pól
iompraíodh | was carried | p aut |
mainistir | monastery | f mainistreach |
Sa deireadh oíche, níor fhios agam má tá an t-ardaitheoir briste fós,
nó ag feidhmiú ag an am sin. Ní maith liom baol , nó seans nach bhfuil
duine le cabrach ann. Chaith mé le teacht den traen ag stáisiún níos
luaithe inar bhfuil go leor \ ardaitheoirí iomadúla cúltaca ann [got off
where there were multiple elevators for back up]. Ansin, Shiúil mé trasna
Berkeley sa mean-oíche sa Dorchadas, ar mbealach abhaile. Bhí sé go brea.
feidhmiú | functioning; operation, application | |

A dhiabhail, an-scéal agat. Bhriseadh na hardaitheoirí ar an ‘el’ go minic

Johana:
is dóigh liom gur bhac é ar an EL traen I siceagó, agus nuair a bhí deifre
orthu, go hairithe. an bhfuaireadar teacs nuair a bhriseadh?
B’fhéidir go tobainn, tuigim ar fad;
Is fearr liom cathaoir rothaí lámhthiomáinte le thogail amach, níos
éadroime. go maith Nuair a bhfuil rang/cruinniu eile ann?
