Here´s the translation of the poem.

Thanks for the FSI link. I bought the basic FSI Spanish course a while back and it was about $80. If I knew there was a website that had the materials for free .....

My try:

Seni çok seviyorum. Sana güveniyorum ve tek istediðim sensin. Bana inan lütfen.

Belki bir gün Türkiye´de yaþayacaðým. Üniversiteyi bitirecek ve daha Türkçe´yi öðreneceðim zaman.

Seni görmek için çok heyecanlýyým, sadace seni öpüp sarýlmak istiyorum.

This just in:

"YEREVAN, Armenia – Armenia and Turkey agreed Monday to final talks aimed at establishing diplomatic relations and resolving a seemingly intractable rift that dates to the massacres of Armenians under Ottoman rule nearly 100 years ago.

Both sides said in a joint statement they expected the talks to take six weeks and to end with an agreement setting up and developing ties.

Armenian President Serge Sarkisian, however, has indicated the long-running dispute over the World War I-era killings of Armenians would not be a deal-breaker between the two neighbors..."

I was very excited to read this news and I feel this is a step in the right direction. I´m curious how the Turkish members feel about it.

You don´t know why? Because Tami thinks that all Americans think that all Muslims are terrorists.  

You know what, you´re right, you didn´t say it in this thread (neither did I state that you said it by the way). I take the "ALL" back. I´m not going to go thru all of your posts to check if you said it before, if you didn´t say it, then I´m sure you´ve implied it many a times. And certainly that seems to be the impression you give out. Which, if it isn´t your actual opinion, is very pathetic indeed.

Who´s the main actor of the show is not for me to decide. I´m sure many members share my sentiments even if I don´t go about making my point in the most effective way. 

It´s hard to tell how objective the poll was as the link to the actual poll comes up empty. I couldn´t even find it on the Gallup Poll site. Must be quite outdated.

And again, it´s hard to conclude that ALL Americans HATE Muslims where you come up with 39% ESTIMATE based on a poll. Not to mention that the question had nothing to do with hate. That´s what I mean by YOUR lack of objectivity. You take something and twist it to fit your agenda.

By the way 39% is not all, not even half, not even the majority. I thought you might want to know.

Speaking of embarassing onself, you would know, being an expert at it.

That made me laugh out loud.

Wow, you do have a sense of humor. Who would have thought!?

And by the way, don´t tell me what to do, as long as I´m within guidelines I´ll post whatever I want.

I think flowers are nice. I have sent it in the past to male friends with different results - some loved it, others felt it wasn´t "manly".  I think showing caring when somebody is sick is a perfect occassion to send flowers regardless of gender - it´s not like you´re sending him roses to profess your undying love (in that case I´d say wait for him to send the flowers lol). Anyway, if you´re hesitant to send the flowers, I´d send some sweets or something like that - just makes sure not to send anything with gelatin if he doesn´t eat pork products.

My try:

I´m worried a lot about  you and also not getting the answer to the birthday mail.

I´m saying all ...(ah?) and I wonder what you´re doing.

Write me an answer when you find the time.
