A mis amigas están muy amable! Findy, if you are loosing sleep, that could mean you are becoming addicted to Spanishdict.com! In a good way of course! - bandit51jd, Jul 16, 2013

Hola! I think you left out a word there, amiga. encontrar = find or encounter. There's something else out of place but I can't quite put my finger on it. (I'll vote you up anyway for trying.) :D - Findy, Jul 16, 2013

(I meant in the English version, not the Spanish one.) Silly me. - Findy, Jul 16, 2013

I get so nervous pointing anything out... can you tell? My sentences are always perfect, you know. hehe - Findy, Jul 16, 2013

I am happy you didn´t feel picked on, maybe the more exposure the sentences have the more a fluent Spanish member will see them for our learning! How did you rest? Well, I hope! - bandit51jd, Jul 16, 2013

Dormí como un tronco (like a log, not a trunk jeje). I will help other people one day when I become fluent (is that a subjunctive?). KG painted me a word picture today which helped the penny to drop. ♥ - Findy, Jul 16, 2013
