Oh, here's the foundation closing I heard about last night: [link]

Thanks, megan! Would that work for a military surrender? (Directed at the captain of a ship.)

Sorry, I was napping. I think I'm coming down with something.

"Livez-vous" might be more used by police. I did some poking around on the interwebs with some different options and think you may want "Capitulez!" although I'm not sure that would be used alone in command form or with a person. It is certainly used in a military context with places.

I did find "Ne capitulez jamais!" (Never surrender!) as well as this Napoleon(!) quotation:

"Si vous ne capitulez pas sur le champ, je prendrai la ville d’assaut, je serai forcé de faire ce que je fis à Jaffa, où la garnison fut passée au fil de l’épée. Prince, épargnez à la brave nation autrichienne et à moi la nécessité d’un acte aussi effrayant : la place n’est pas tenable."

Bought the last thing on my errand list. Still not sure if my father needs more gift, but I hope not. Don't want to go back into stores.

Lord, my head hurts today. But I can't remotely sleep anymore, so more TV it is. And job applications. Watching the first season of The Rockford Files as I try more for work.

I did some poking around on the interwebs with some different options and think you may want "Capitulez!" although I'm not sure that would be used alone in command form or with a person.

That's what I was thinking, but since I never took French, I didn't know if it would be grammatically correct.

In conclusion: thank you! You're awesome.

My French dictionary seems to have gone walkabout. Or perhaps I seriously need to reorganize my bookshelves.

I thought I was in for the night but I just discovered that I don't have enough quarters to do my laundry. I really don't want to go out again.

Wow, the tunnels under Moscow look totally Gigeresque.

Compare and contrast with the underground city Derinkuyu.

A friend of mine got a photo in TIME magazine!

Tree has been achieved! Because of Abby being so sick this past week, we weren't able to go to Hallmark to pick up their annual ornaments, so I finally just up and went myself. Thankfully, they still had one of her Barbie (she gets the Barbie holiday ornament every year) and they still had Nate's fire truck.

My personal ornament this year.

Oh, here's the foundation closing I heard about last night

Wow.

I did some poking around on the interwebs with some different options and think you may want "Capitulez!" although I'm not sure that would be used alone in command form or with a person.

I don't know enough to know if that's the word that would be used, but grammatically, that's correct for a command to a group of people.

Oh, it's definitely correct grammatically, it just doesn't sound right to me as something you might shout at someone.

But, you know, I rarely hear people telling other people to surrender.
