Well, you've read the notes, the notes were in Yidspan, and now it is time for the Yiddish and Spanish cows to come home.

And the word of the day is: TEEM!

First post after BK!

Topic of the Day: just English. Even though my mom is German, I never learned to speak it. My sister took a couple of years in high school, but she doesn't remember too much.

Today, my worked is closed again, so I'm sleeping in again.

And now, I'm going to go to sleep so that I can sleep in. Hopefully, most of the snow will be gone by the time I wake up since it's been raining for the last several hours, and will probably continue for at least several hours longer.

Have a good day, all!

I crashed arlund mixnight. At 1:00 the phone rang and woke us up. My heart is still pounding. Wrong number I guess, better than an emergency.

Darn that phone call.

Good morning, all!

We are supposedly heading for a big storm today, so I'm proceeding cautiously.

Good morning.

DR George, I doubt the character on Manifest has anything to do with Follies. Michael Moriarty played Ben Stone in the early episodes of Law & Order.

I once had a cat named Benjamin Stone.

TCB, congratulations on the increase in your tax return.

TOD:

With Google Translate, I got through German this past year. My Spanish is rusty, but I can understand it. I think I need to be surrounded by a language first, then add beer. Helps with the French and Portuguese.

I wish more than anything that I had pursued a couple of languages and could speak/read fluently in them. I sort of fell in love with German in high school and took a year of it there and another two (?) years in college. At that point one has to be a complete idiot not to continue and complete the process. Well, say hello to the idiot. I could pick it up again even now, but...

Dabbled in Spanish, taking the mandatory class or two in Florida (I’m trying to remember which year(s) that was), and a year of Italian in college. But my tongue simply doesn’t take to those so well, nor did I have the necessary level of interest.

The new one I’d choose right now would be French.

Annabelle and I made our patrol. The building is safe for the day.

I hope Joshie and I can finish Act Two of I Married An Angel today. If the weather reports are accurate, tomorrow will be an icy day and I would rather stay home.

Little Thatch has adopted Annabelle's polka step. He's such a cutie!

Interesting. What does that mean, though, getting through German with Google Translate? I guess I don't know what it does, beyond roughly translating a web page. Is some kind of actual instruction possible?

BK,

Although I agree with your criticisms of THE BALLAD OF CABLE HOGUE, it is still my favorite Peckinpah picture. Also love the song score.

Druxy · « **Reply #23 on:** February 12, 2019, 05:31:26 AM »

T.O.D.

I took Spanish in high school, but aside from "Si" and "No comprendo," I don't understand a word of the language.

Exciting day today:

1. Haircut
2. Blood test
3. HOA meeting tonight.

That's SOME day DR DRUXY!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #26 on:** February 12, 2019, 05:35:44 AM »

I can understand Spanish and speak it sort of....but how it sounds to a Spanish speaker is I am sure, a comedy routine.

Thanks to DR JANE and DR VIXMOM for the tomato responses. Yes DR JANE I use a serrated knife.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #28 on:** February 12, 2019, 05:36:50 AM »

Thanks to DR jan for the FOSSE info. I had only seen the promo once and didn't really catch the details!
