> [@harmonicamoon](#): > > Mostly hung out in the West. CA, NV and Utah. Been south for 8 years now. Thanks for the English remark. I don’t speak it much here, and find myself translating Spanish to English to write on this MB. Damn! That must be weird. When I took high school Spanish and we had to try to speak exclusively in the language the most common expression involved _¿Cómo se dice…?_ as in “Como se dice toothbrush?” and such. ---

> [@Zeldar](#): > > Damn! That must be weird. When I took high school Spanish and we had to try to speak exclusively in the language the most common expression involved _¿Cómo se dice…?_ as in “Como se dice toothbrush?” and such. Yeah, I remember high school Spanish. They taught us to ask, “Where is the library?” I always thought that was weird. I am gonna go to a foreign country and ask where is the library? If I understood their directions and got to the library, I would be surrounded by thousands of books that I couldn’t read. I think “Where is the bathroom?” Would have been more useful. ---

Well troops, I am gonna go downtown and buy some pesos. They are having a sale. Best exchange rate in the last 52 weeks! Which means I will have an extra $300 pesos this month. Which is awesome! Probably celebrate and pick up a six pack to keep me company while I watch the Grammy Awards. Keep spreadin’ good cheer. ---

Have fun HarmonicaMoon! About all I got out of high school languages was how to find a “friend”, a beer and the bathroom! 😛 I liked that Johnny Carson spot with Dolly. She’s really slimmed down now and she’s still so dang pretty and funny. ---

She’s really slimmed down now and she’s still so dang pretty and funny. I have never been able to inagine what it must be like being her husband. She’s not alone in that category either. With the rapid turnover in celebrity marriages (and the rest of us as well) it’s amazing how some of those long-term relationships have worked. Robert Mitchum always amazed me that way. I read a biography on him some time ago and he was quoted as telling his wife before they married, “Stick with me, baby, and you’ll be farting through silk.” That’s got to win over anybody, right? 🙂 ---

> [@jasg](#): > > Ok, it is tomorrow (the sun was not paisley when it came up) and I am not seeing much enthusiasm for a naming of the group… It’s not a real priority. That much is true. It’s hard to tell what is. A few of us are yapping away and most of us are either just reading along or not that much involved in the gang concept. Maybe the idea of having to vote on a name pushed it onto the back burner. ---

> [@jasg](#): > > Ok, it is tomorrow (the sun was not paisley when it came up) and I am not seeing much enthusiasm for a naming of the group… There’s something else to consider here. Weekends tend to have a different SDMB crowd from weekdays, even if the 4H crowd types are more immune to the difference than those with day jobs, a life and other distractions. Giving up entirely would be premature and perhaps this time next week we can see just what may become of the whole idea. Meanwhile enjoy yourself with ongoing patter or introduce a topic or two of your own. As a last resort, tell us a little about _you_! ---
