A Actual Message From A Actual French Person!

[Roman]

Well, it sounds like, from the beginning of the second paragraph, that we need to see what you wrote to him.
By the way, I think you certainly could have opened a new thread about this.

Dang man, you really brought it all back up for me with this one. I'll try to keep working on it, but you really launched me into my multi-hour reflection on the subject and thinking of responses in French which I will probably not be able to ever write down. It takes so long even when I'm thinking in English. I guess that partially explains why I've never had such conversations with French people. And ultimately, like life in general, it is what it is. What can one do?
