I also came across this recent pic of my brother Michael's two children, my nephew and niece - John Michael and Alyssa.  -All is right with the world.  :)



I do not think it's appropriate for a little girl to be smoking a cigar.

Cute pic DR Jose.

DR Panni, I didn't even know serviette was used as an English word.  I knew what you meant because of what it means in french.  But I've never heard anyone in English use the word.

Tom,
Pardon my being French with you, but you should realize that "realize" has a Z, as in Zorro!, unless you are using the French spelling! ;)
In American English François!

Hmmm... Just flipping through the channels...

NBC is broadcasting the Apollo Theatre's 70th Anniversary Special... Natalie Cole just sang... WOW!  I haven't heard sing like that in years!... Then Ashanti - very good too... And now the incomparable Patti Labelle...  Sing it girl!

However, I think I'm going to go for a walk in a little bit... My ice cream level is a little low... Hmm.. Maybe even a cookie...  -I just don't feeling like spending almost two hours driving in a car tonight... But that could change after the ice cream... We'll see...

Portayed by whom?  He's never been a homophobe, to my recolection.  Someone's putting spin on him.  Again.

Didn't Arnold tell the world that "Gay marriage should be between a man and a woman."?  

I don't think he's a homophobe, but like altogether too many of our elected officials, Democrat and Republican, he's not going to go out of his way to do us any favors.  

Here in Minnesota, Arnold's close buddy Jesse Ventura was couageously (and vocally) pro-gay.  In fact, Ventura ensured that same-sex couples employed by the state of Minnesota were granted a whole lotta the same privileges extended to mixed-sexed married couples.  Which incoming Republican governor Tim Pawlenty promptly got rid of...and now, he's supporting a constitutional ban on gay marriage.  

Nice guy, eh?

Re: the house comment

We moved my sister and her hubby to their new house today.  Well, I didn't move them.  I basically watched.  There was really nothing to do.

There were so many people helping, I basically just sat there and watched.  And took care of water and donuts!

Good link François. Not sure what the conclusion is and I would assume it is written by an American.
Language changes even here - the words borrow and lend are often interchangeable. So many children say "Can I lend your pencil" when of course they mean "May I borrow your pencil".
Most common errors here - I think as a result of lazy pronunciation by Australians in general -are where "have" is replaced by "of" in the expressions "could have" and "would have" etc. Australians tend to say "could've" which to the listener is "could of". Fascinating. No! But it keeps the home fries burning.

Tom,

In my "old" days, i've learnt that one borrows FROM and one lends TO!
Now, you mean things evolve there too?
Too confusing for me!

Yes, from the tone of the writer, one can tell that the link is expressed from an American point of view!
In a somewhat arrogant way, i think!

Well, that's LA for you - like most of its citizens, it cannot make up its mind.  It wants to be one thing, can't commit, and decides to be something else.

Nice name for pets!

My buddy Derek had a dog who he'd named "Askem".

When someone would ask Derek what his dog's name was, he'd reply, "Askem!"

Usually, they'd repeat their question, and Derek would once again reply, "Askem!"

And some people would actually look at the dog, and ask, "What's your name?"

I've actually seen it happen.  More than once.

Because they are SUPERIOR to women, and can do the job themselves, which is something women can't admit!!!! :o

Women create problems that men solve! ;D ;D
