Yes Louis,
"schleudern" indeed. Not using deutsche daily leaves me forgetting proper spelling.
Seem's my Langenscheidt conversion dictionary has been missing for some time as well.
I only knew what a schleudern was from friends who were German. They owned a model railroad shop back in the 80's and 90's. The wife was from Dusseldorf, and the husband from Wisconsin originally, so I took an interest in the language.
They were a sweet elderly couple. I miss them. I used to spend hours in their shop.
We'd have coffee with other customers, and oogle over and discuss all the Marklin, Fleischmann, and Roco
model trains. I became hooked within a few months.
That group of friends helped me through a very rough relationship break up.
Having advice and compassion from an older more experienced couple who had been through the same thing taught me a lot.
Once, Delos was having some trouble with his NEC VCR channel tuning with cable, so I went to their home and showed him how to program it to the cable system.
They liquidated and retired in 1995, and sold me a lot of my collection at a deep discount.
I wanted to buy their shop, but the neighborhood was changing for worse by then.
My new better half also said no way because more online sellers would kill the hobby shops. Today, there are few left.
