@BlockFiSupport I took advantage of your convenience withdrawal from my BIA account and received 50% of my balance. I’m now confused. Will I be able to withdraw the other half at a later time? Or did I accidentally give up that right?

@JoeBiden I am better off! My savings are finally earning some interest, and I feel safer going out in public with so many people having been vaccinated. My SS finally rose more than the increase in Medicare…..

@Claire_Cox16 @duolingo As an American I would add Day at the end too….if the day is what is meant. I’m working on @duolingo French and noticing some odd English usage too!

[Ruth Krawczyk @TranslatorRuth]

@Claire_Cox16 @duolingo I’m doing the same, only with French before I head to France this summer. At times the English does seem strange, but then I wonder which English are they using? Lol!

I met her once at my very first literary translation workshop in Austin, TX, back in the late 1980s. She made a strong impression on me. Wish I had known her better!

Saddened to learn today of the death of Edna McCown, a wonderful translator from German, Festival Neue Literatur co-conspirator, Goethe-Institut New York program director, etc. etc. A beloved colleague, gone too soon.
