I took one semester of Spanish at the community college after my job started sending me to Latin America. My teacher there was from Spain and talked like that. But he did not insist that we do.
TWSS
Thank heaven for that-it sounds to me as if the person talking has a speech impairment...
Thank you very much.
Are you watching the Five? Dang they’re at each others throats today. I bet there will be bloodshed before November!
My daughter is all excited about looking for it now. They watch a novella in her Spanish class that is mostly about teenagers with one creepy adult guy stalker who drives a fluffy pink car and sits outside their houses, spying on them.
Amelia Pond!
I LOVE the Beach Boys. Saw them at Princeton U in Jadwin Gym, many moons ago.
We’re thinking about doing weeping angels for Halloween. Don’t blink.
The weather was chilly this am, high 40s, so the house was cool and the cat was running around downstairs, out of his safe room and the small dog was chasing him while Gatsby was upstairs snoozing. They were having a grand time playing. I think we are making some progress, getting him to venture out of kitty city. I leave the door open all the time when I am here. As much as I would like that collie pup, we’re going to stick with two dogs for now. If someone wanted a good birthday/Christmas combo gift for me though, it would be a great idea.
Thank you for posting that. A nurse friend sent me a link to the video and I was afraid if I tried to play it, my computer would lock up. At least now I can read the sentence.
Should i send a link to this post to the spouse.... ? ; )
that is truly awesome
Probably not. He tolerates the dogs. I don’t want to push it. If it was up to him, we’d have no animals in this house and we’re at 3 so I guess that’s enough. If only she wasn’t such a pretty pup...who looks a lot like my sweet Chumley dog.
I sent that link to my contractor compadre-what a riot.
That show “Decisiones” was on from 10:30 pm to 11:30 pm on Telemundo Monday-and my channel guide thingee informs me that it is on tonight at the same time-it is worth the watching-enjoy the silliness...
The others are starting to gang up on Beckel like a wolf pack attacking a damn caribou-it is funny...
I did and I posted it last week. Very funny, worth watching again and again.
