I'm working on my ficathon assignment - yay me! - and needed a word in Czech. Don't ask. Sent a distress e-mail to a fic list I'm on and someone recommended the following site.

In the Memories section there is a list of languages and people who will help you with those languages. We'll see how well it works.
Posing a question as long as I'm typing: What is it, and I'm thinking it's a Southern thing, with calling people you don't know hon or honey? I'm pretty immune to men saying darling or babe or such 'cause obviously they're idiots. A week or so ago, I was in Bookstop when a lady asked me where the bathroom was. I gave her directions and she said, "Thanks, hon." Now I think I look younger than I am, but still. Earlier this week, a lady called to speak to my boss and started off with, "Hi, honey, can I speak to {boss's name}?" AT WORK!!! The office I work at is very small and casual, but she was calling in. I know, in the grand scheme of things, this is nothing. I have no objections to terms of endearment, but shouldn't you save them for people who are dear to you?
And on a note that will only entertain people who know me - all one of you - the outdoor cat at work made herself very much at home in the office today for a little while. Boss and I are trying to convince her that being an indoor kitty is a good thing and we wouldn't make her stay in all the time. We like cats.
