divingbiker - Ewww....

Karen, congrats on the new grandbaby. Jack is adorable. His mom looks so happy and proud in the pic. 9lbs - wow! DD was 8 lb 13 oz and I can't imagine what it would of been like delivering her naturally.

I just got back from the mall, which is one of my least favorite places, and I have a pounding headache now. But the kids are happy. They have been saving their money for a while and wanted to visit the Lego and Hello Kitty stores. DS even helped his little sis with her purchase. I'm very proud of him. Sharing is not always one of his strong suits.

Oh my.
How is it that her coworkers are privy to that bit of TMI?

Divingbiker- I have a coworker that overshares but never to that extent. And I have a problem of being too blunt for my own good at times, I can only imagine what I would say!

tucker- That is a big baby, what a champ mama is. Wow. I cringed when I heard my nieces were both 9 lbs, sounded painful but what do I know? He is cute, congrats on another grandson!

Amanda, how's Maggie doing?

in reference to Divingbiker's co-worker's TMI. After living on an Apache Indian Reservation in Arizona for a few years, and discovering their very very dry sense of humor.... there is a certain food item I can't quite face thanks to my Apache co-worker.

Burritos.

(used baby diaper)

This same man taught a naive chick in our office a greeting in Apache. She wanted to greet the Tribal Council properly.... Daniel taught her the Apache version of a Beetle's song - "voulez vous couche avec moi, se soir? Fortunately she tried this out on one person first, who snickered at her, and bellowed "Daniel!!!" Chickie had no idea what she said. Once she found out, she was out for blood.

that's french, what does it mean?

"Would you like to uh, "lie down" with me, tonight"

I tried something similar once on Svalbard with an fellow student who spoke only English, taught him to say "Vil du være med meg hjem?" to any girl who caught his fancy. It means "Would you go home with me?"

It means "Would you like to sleep with me tonight?" and it's not the Beatles, it was the disco group Labelle.

You guys are cracking me up!

The placenta thing...some people consume the placenta--either dry it and make it into a powder and take it in capsules, or they make a soup out of it (seriously). I think if I remember right, her baby was about 18 mos old when we planted the tree. So, it had been in the freezer that long, which is a long time to keep organ meat (lol). I don't know what she had planned to do with it originally.

Cute enough

He knew he was being conned, but I think he drew a few laughs at least.

You're right, I could hear the song in my head, just couldn't remember how far back it went. This is what I get for missing the Beatle's Invasion (lived in France '63-66). I learned Yellow Submarine in French first, from some record of a French Pop singer Mom had.

Reminds me of a time when I had a new co-worker from the Soviet Union. He used up his pencil eraser, and aksed me where he could get a new rubber

Once I told the slang meaning , we had a good laugh.

**OakLeaf** · 03-09-2009, 03:52 PM

I remember plenty of Latin grammar, root words, etc., but very few phrases or sentences. One of the phrases our peer instructor taught us that I remember very clearly was:

Ave, nauta! Esne in urbe novus?

(Hey, sailor. New in town?)
