I am an American girl, 18, want a penpal from anywhere in the world
My name is Erin, and I am 18 years old, soon to be 19 years old in June. I am a very interesting person, if you want to know more about me, I will tell you. Just E-Mail me at Brevoort77@yahoo.com.
I live in Michigan in the United States. I love France! I will be attending college this fall to further my studies in French because I want to be a French teacher for high school students.
Hope to hear from you!
Disappearing posts
I found my posts by clicking on "Today’s" above right and directly under "Terms of Service." When I click on the navigation button and select "Threads," it says the category is currently empty. (Of course, if you don’t do that first, you won’t find this information so I’m not sure why I typed it!)
At any rate, if you lose a post, try the "Today’s" or "Last 24 Hours" buttons above. Presumably the topics will eventually be returned to the "Threads" section.
If this is a forum improvement, I suspect a lot of people will not find the threads and will disappear to a more user friendly forum. Just my humble opinion, of course. Perhaps I’m just cyberdeficient.
Posts disappear . . . where do they go?
Under Travel Help a person named "Simmie" just asked about handicapped transportation from Metz to LaRochelle. It was listed as being posted May 14 although it is currently May 13 (3:12 PM Pacific time).
At any rate, I replied, hit "Done" and the entire thread simply disappeared. Is it out in cyberspace or are you now reviewing posts before they go up?
Just curious.

Cannes Film Festival
The Cannes Film Festival is a prestigious international film festival. It has been held annually in Cannes, in the south of France, since 1946 with a few exceptions.
Given massive media exposure, the Festival is attended by many movie stars and is a popular venue for movie producers to launch their new films and attempt to sell their works to the distributors who come from all over the globe.
After Protest Threats, Cannes Turns to the Films
CANNES, France (Reuters) – A Spanish film launched the Cannes film
festival for the first time on Wednesday, as organizers heaved sighs of
relief that the threat of labor protests raining on the Riviera glamour
parade has been averted.
On Tuesday they reached a last-ditch deal with stagehands and part-time
French actors who had planned to disrupt the event in pursuit of a
pensions deal.
The workers will now be welcomed on Wednesday night’s official
opening in the Palais des Festivals and allowed to hold news
conferences to air their grievances.
Ahead of the opening, the world’s press were shown cult Spanish
director Pedro Almodovar’s “Bad Education,” a noirish thriller about
child abuse in the Catholic church.
Turkey and Constitution set to dominate European elections in France
The vexed questions of whether to support Turkey’s
bid to become an EU member and whether to hold a referendum on the
Constitution are emerging as the main issues as the European election
campaigns kick off in France.
On the first issue, the ruling centre-right UMP party, is steadfastly against Turkish entry.
Its electoral programme, recently cleared by the party membership,
says, “Turkey has no business in the European Union”, sentiments echoed
recently by the UMP leader, Alain Juppe who said last month, “The UMP
does not want to see discussions with Turkey at the end of the year”.
Ottawa to fund D-Day veterans' trip to France
Bowing to public pressure, the federal government is set to offer more
than $1 million to allow aging veterans of the D-Day invasion to attend
ceremonies in France next month to mark the historic event’s 60th
anniversary.
According to the Toronto Star, veterans will be reimbursed for part of their travel costs, perhaps as much as $1,000 each.
Veterans Affairs Minister John McCallum will make the announcement from Ottawa at 10:30 a.m. ET Wednesday.
