    I like this thread.
    "My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure."

    Don't come to a stop on your bike with your feet still clipped into your peddles and think you won't fall, unless you have great balance.

    There is a big difference between the word amapola (poppy in European Spanish) and ama polla. BIG difference.


    When learning to use platform pedals on your MTB bike, wear shin guards.

    When learning to snowboard wear wrist guards.

    Oh yeah, been in the confusing language word scene!...
    Like when I confused in Spanish majones (jeans) with mojones (sh*ts) I got some pretty weird looks. Sheesh, the trouble I got into when I was learning Spanish...don't remind me!

    Boy, you are not kiddin'!!! My husband and I took an Italian language class in the fall and we were both petrified to speak because every time we did the instructor would chastise us for saying something dirty. Who knew there is only one n's difference between pen and penis and they have and anus?! And we were warned against asking for pizza in Southern Italy unless we'd like to get a beating. (He was from the south and really seemed to take it personally when we mangled the language).
