Which makes the fact that he got out of his car, went in and got them, more important.

He could have called FTD.

He didn’t......

There’s a difference between thoughtful, and pretentious,

Must have missed the ping today!

First thing that comes to mind, though, is something about male horse flatulence...

Sort of like the Wisconsin motto - “Come to Wisconsin and smell our Dairy Air!”

Kind of my point. You can argue, that there’s now way to know of he got them himself, but...c’mon man.

He stopped, went in, and did something nice.

Like you pointed out, he had 10million options.

i’m not making barbs, i am making comparisons and Lundqvist is the polar opposite of Ovie’s style.

Thx for the response, xs. All help with Spanish is appreciated!

----------

The Colombian guy was hitting on the pretty, married gringa at the cantina in the hotel. She didn't speak Spanish very well.

Finally, she said "Lo siento, soy cansada", thinking she is telling him that she's married.

"Y que!", he says.

She waves her ring finger at him.

"Ahhh, tu eres CASADA.", and she realises her mistake.

He pauses for a moment, then shrugs and says, "Bueno, son iguales despues de todo, entiendo. El 'n' no es importante. Buenos noches, senora.", and walks away.

(Note: Panamanian jokes are almost always about Colombians, and vice versa, for historical reasons. The joke may be funnier when completely in Spanish, dunno; I laughed my xxx off.)

Rme. You know I was teasing.

Ovie, bought the flowers, hisself. Cut him some slack....lol

You’re being way too literal... I tend to get that way when I stay up late...

(Like every effing night...lol)

But, really ..Ovie, did it. No bout a doubt it.

cute! and yes, i know they were connected and probably had land issues between them. my daughter’s future fatherinlaw travels a fair amount to Panama. he’s an engineer and is helping them build a power plant, as a consultant.

In Wisconsin we run the water a little bit to get it hot. In California, we ran the water to get it cold!
