I have the worst allergies ever today.....it sucks

Take an Alka-Seltzer Plus....it works great on allergies. I thought I had come down with a cold a couple of weeks ago, took one dose, and before I knew it, it was gone. Must not have been a cold, but rather allergies. Works like a charm for me.

Well, yeah, I'm not in France, and in the USA, we don't mean forever.....so....:smiliehug:

One of the most recent differences I have noted (btw. Swiss-French and French) is the use of the word adieu here. In France, adieu means goodbye forever (as in death or you will never see this person again for whatever reason) while here it means simply goodbye (and you will see each other again). In France, when you say goodbye the words that you typically use are “au revoir”, “a bientot” or “salute”.

But it is a French word, and that is what it means in the French language so.... no, you ain't goin' nowhere. :smiliehug:

I know what you are saying, but I wasn't talking to French people, (are you French?) - see, you're not French, neither is Boop, Stat, DT, Pacer, nor Rosie.....so they don't care that in France it means forever?

And to use your logic, we're not in Switzerland either. :eusa_angel:
I wouldn't mind being in Switzerland....I've always wanted to go there....and it doesn't mean forever there, either.....I guess the Swiss people are pretty sharp....they don't take orders from the French...

We should go back to Spanish. I don't speak it but I could follow your Spanish post.
Did you have to use the translator?:D
Muy buenas noches, señor Pogo....muchas gracias por la leccion en Frances.....

Now what is scary is that I understood that sentence without needing a translator and I don't know Spanish besides the odd word or phase. Context is everything! :)
 
This is very evocative.

It's nice. But I do have to wonder why everybody has all their lights on. :confused:

Saw a jigsaw puzzle like that, a cottage setting with every window lit up. I said, "that house is on fire!".

It looks like one of those late evening summer thunderstorms has just finished so that would explain the lights.

Maybe you're Hispanic, DT, and don't even know it......:lol::lol:

It's not the lights ---- it's the fact that they're on in every single room of every single building.
 
It's been a week since Connery graced us with his beautiful nature pics. So I figure I'll share what I look forward to every year.

They only last for a day so it's good to pick them and fill your house with their wonderful scent.

At my folks', they have a row of the white, lavender and purple lilacs. I miss them. Maybe I should take a run out there.
 
Wow. This is indeed a nice looking bar. Check out the inside.

It is indeed....where is it?

Well judging by the picture I'd say 115 Avenue C, New York NY 10009 (Lower East Side), with a phone number of 212/982-4034. But that's just a wild guess.

Hee hee.

Smartass....I didn't even see the sign....I saw it but I didn't read it, thought it was just advertising....Okay, you get one point for that one.
 
Been crazy busy here tonight, I think we may finally be seeing a slow down. I get off at 4:15 a.m., and have a 9:00 a.m. doctor appointment. I hope to get something remotely resembling a nap in between, and then my ride and I are going out for lunch. Then a bit more sleep, then shows and dinner with my sister. Fortunately I don't work tomorrow night, because somewhere in there I'm gonna be dragging like a sumbee.

Wishing you good sleep and an especially good Dr's appointment.
