BS. I'm not shy (as you know). I am watching a fascinating episode of Stargate SG-1 on the Sci Fi channel. You can only get my attention on this level by licking up my neck to my earlobe:)

[Victoria Delsoul]

That sounds big... what does she have?

[tuliptree76]

Fever, chills, aches.

Ha! Speaking of BS as Norman Schwarzkopf would say, that's bovine scatology!

[Victoria Delsoul]

Oh no, yikes! Let's hope not.

[BobS]

It's very good. Do you get the SciFi Channel where you are? A commercial came on; you are permitted to cuddle:)

[BobS]

BTW, BS in Spanish is called caca de toros.

[Victoria Delsoul]

LOL!!! Yep, that's right.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Actually, it should be just: caca de toro (not plural)

[Victoria Delsoul]

So what kind of music do you like to hear? How about some oldie Italian?

[Victoria Delsoul]

Tango Italiano... Lyrics and all

Tango Italiano Un Tango Italiano, un dolce Tango
Ho sentito una notte suonar
Sotto un cielo lontano ...
Quel Tango Italiano, this is the Tango
That was born when our love had its start
On the night that I found you ...
In quel momento sull'ali del vento avrei voluto andar
E dal mio amore il mio cuore sconteto voleva ritornar ...
Un Tango Italiano, un dolce Tango
Ha portato un ricchiamo d'Amor
Al mio stanco e nostalgico cuor
E mi hai fatto per sempre tornar
Dal mio amore Italiano ...
You were so warm and so near
And my heart climbed a stairway to the stars ...
Un Tango Italiano, un dolce Tango
Ha portato un ricchiamo d'Amor
Al mio stanco e nostalgico cuor
E mi hai fatto per sempre tornar
Dal mio amore Italiano ...

"Actually, it should be just: caca de toro (not plural)"

YOU run around Spain and Pamplona (Basque)and find a way to communicate. Caca de toros is accepted there.

[tuliptree76]

That's a pretty song. :-)

I finished watering my plants. LOL!

Now all I have to do tomorrow is change Winston's water. (And homework, of course.)

[Victoria Delsoul]

When we say BS, we're talking about a singular Bull, ain't that right? We don't say Bulls sh!t. Well, it isn't different in Spanish. However, colloquialism allows any expression you want.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hey, how's Winston doing? Looks like he's doing fine.

[tuliptree76]

He's doing okay. He's been eating when I feed him.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Oh, great news. I'm happy for you... and for him too, lol

[tuliptree76]

Thanks. :-)

You had better travel around Spain before making an assumption. There are regions with dialects and different inflections. Castillian Spanish isn't typical in the rural regions. Go near the French border or the Portuguese border. The Basques will consider you an intruder and the Portuguese will give you a funny look.

Now look at my email to you.

[Victoria Delsoul]

I've traveled to Spain twice, and hopefully this summer will be the third time. I have relatives in Spain. My mother is from Spain. I agree about dialects and colloquialism - I think I brought it up in my previous post.
