MickinMD ★ Posted March 25, 2023 Share #10 Posted March 25, 2023 I ran into trouble as a student because I didn't know another French word for "cry." I took a college French 202 class that had only 5 students: four cute girls and me. I loved it except for five days. The class was held late in the day, around 4 pm, on Mon-Tues-Thurs-Fri. I worked on campus and could put in a couple hours in the chem lab until it was time for class, so I was always on campus at class time but FIVE times the I was the only one who showed up for class because of the time or homework difficulty and the professor held the whole hour long class for one student and I had to handle all the questions. There is a French lyric poem by Paul Verlaine from the 1800's that begins, "Il pleure dans mon cœur, comme il pleut sur la ville." I thought it meant, "It rains in my heart, like it rains on the town," because I knew "il pleut" means "It rains," and figured pleure was some 19th Century thing that meant rain and didn't bother looking it up. But "pleure" means "cries," so I screwed up giving my interpretation of the poem - a class where ALL communication had to occur in French so I really stumbled. The professor wasn't too hard on me since I was the only student who bothered to show up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dietary cholesterol is a relatively small player in heart disease. It is like you say, genetic high cholesterol. So says my doctor. He is far more concerned with triglycerides from dietary choices.
