Happy New Year to all. Looks Like it works. Looking forward to raucous discussions, clarifications, and new knowledge.

Cynie Linton Junior Member Username: cynie_linton Post Number: 2 Registered: 10-2010 Posted on Tuesday, January 03, 2012 - 02:53 pm:    Thanks Sheldon. Fussing over AAMA testing standards for curtain wall today, we will see if I have questions.

We also try to inject humor into what can be serious business. But above all, we are here to help each other do our jobs better. Someone on the forum will likely have sufficient experience to share regarding almost any question.

Now does that apply only in France? How about parts of Canada or other French speaking areas of the world? Ya gotta love the differences in cultures. Oh yes, welcome to the forum. The friendly jibes are just counterpoint to the serious and useful exchange if information and experience. I check it out every work day and sometimes at home just because. Lynn Javoroski FCSI CCS LEEDŽ AP SCIP Affiliate Senior Member Username: lynn_javoroski Post Number: 1361 Registered: 07-2002 Posted on Thursday, January 05, 2012 - 12:05 pm:    Well, if a term of endearment is "little cabbagehead" (petit chou), I guess the French can say pretty much anything...and of course, we have similar things in American. You can call someone almost anything, and make it an insult or a come-on with the right inflection. Consider calling someone "baby" for example - quite multiple meanings just from the way you say the word. And Sheldon is a truly dear friend, in spite of what he called me!

Now I am exhausted. I will have to go home to refresh myself, and select between the various gift bottles I received: Scotch (Lagavulin), Baileys Irish Cream, Saint Brendan's Irish cream, and Irish Mist. Decisions, decisions.
