Same song, second verse, English accent, same as the first!

Grroooovy, now I find out you have a Youtube channel???

I like that!
We mix Spanish, English and French in this house, sometimes in the same sentence. I remember going to Torremolinos on the early morning train, and getting there about 11 AM, starving hungry. We stopped at a bar for coffee and a bite, and there was a young girl standing behind the counter where we were, washing glasses. We ordered in Spanish of course, then DH asked me something in English and I replied. Then I cracked a joke in French and he answered. Back to Spanish as we discussed plans. Finally the girl (tattoo, navel ring, lowrise pants and work boots), threw down her towel and said in Spanish, "OK, where ARE you from?"

Like my mom's friend who always said she was making "horses doovers" for her bridge club. (Hors d'oeuvres).

I wonder if "slut" came from "slattern", or if "slattern" was the later, "naice" form of "slut"? There's a similar word in Yiddish: Schlampik.

If he gives you any trouble Groovy, call in Les Paul, he'll take Mr B down a peg or two!

So...only via Amazon, huh?
I don't have their cloud and I never well.
Lástima.

Indeed. I can only wish you are as happy as we are--it don't get no better than this!

If he bassed their relationship on something besides pulling the strings,maybe his guitar wouldn't have to weep!

There's something similar they used to say about sloppy housewives: "She's a slack-twisted creature."

Slattern is a good word, too.

What did George Harrison say to his guitar while it gently wept?
Don't fret!

We mossn't have a re-peat of that, be com-post!

Chicago was the soundtrack of my college years. Of course I was from Iowa and in those days Chicagofest was a big thing.

I don't know why this line from a song has been running through my mind---for years!!! It's harmonious and I like it, but..."

You crack me up. My quote is from a book. (There's a movie?)

Also, "Does Anybody Really Know What Time it Is" is by Chicago!

Oh peas! You know we would, I've bean waiting for someone to hoe in!

"No problem, alpaca lunch."

Groovy Girl, you are freakin' incredible. You know why. I mean--you're incredible in all ways, of course, particularly personal cool. But you know what I mean.

I feel like Blanche Dubois from A Streetcar Named Desire; "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers." (Without the crazy alcoholic lady part, of course. ;)

Two nights running I have remembered my dreams. This hasn't happened since I had two TIAs a few years back. Before that, for me going to sleep was like going to the movies: I had these detailed, interesting dreams and I could remember them (and still remember some dreams from 20+ years ago). Curiously, I almost never dreamed about people and places I know. Then came the dream drought. No one around me understands that I would give major body parts to get the capability of remembering my dreams back.
Two nights in a row, but this time I have dreamed of people and situations that have to do with my waking life.
it's a start.

LOL, we'll think of something.

I could always email you my postal address, *tee hee*!
We went to the Korean place for lunch today, and had a nice walk too. It didn't rain which was good because the skies were dark and we had no umbrella.
