  1. What a cute puppy! Hope he gets well soon! Good luck to you both.
  2. I think roommate is a blanket word, just like in the south "coke" is a blanket word we use for "soda" or "soft drink". It's become an acceptable "slang" term. It's just a general term. And to me, a "housemate" or a "fratmate" sounds funny--I've never heard anyone use the term housemate, and having never left the US, I've really only heard fratmate in movies! Vallerina--Be glad this is happening now that she's NOT your roommate anymore! I had some very bad experiences with my roommate that were just as creepy, but we were still living together at the time! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!
  3. What do you call them? ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!
  4. Conjugation of verbs is impossible. It is mostly a process of memorization. ------------------ I disagree. to do: I do, you do, he/she does, we do, they do or to fly: I fly, you fly, he/she flies, we fly, they fly Most verbs in English are like this, just like most verbs is Spanish are conjugated one way; there are irregular verbs in both. But I don't think English conjugation is that hard. _____________________ Pronunciation can depend on context. "Bow" as bow and arrow. "Bow" as bow of a boat. "Bow" as in Jim Bowie's last name. ----------------------- This I agree with. Pronunciation IS typically easier in many other languages because they are more constant, but remember that there are letter combinations in those, too, that sound different. Spanish has the ll, which sounds like a y, for example. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!
  5. I was actually thinking German by my 3rd You were the exception, then, and you probably had a better teacher than my Spanish teacher, too. She hated us! But seriously, I don't think most people can truly become fluent based on what they learn in a high school classroom. It's just not practical. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!
  6. The storm that defiled my truck happened in mid/late May. That storm did suck! I'd had my Saturn (gave my truck to my dad ) for a couple of months and had gone out with some friends dancing...left the car, luckily, under a carport. We didn't get it as bad as some people, though. My truck wasn't damaged at all! I'm sorry about yours--that sucks! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!
  7. Highway Patrol guys who wear smokey bear hats... -------------------------- Ever seen the movie "Varsity Blues"? Those are referred to as "mount-me" hats! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!
  8. anything is easy compared to English, or so I am told. -------------------- If you're talking about slang terms and humor, that's true. It's also true with spelling, but the actual basic language isn't that hard by comparison (in other words, verb conjugation and forming a sentence type stuff--you can quickly learn to communicate, I think). _________________ If you think in German and don't translate in your head, is not an issue. I cannot speak for Spanish or Italian, but once you understand the rules of German, you are good to go. --------------------- It's that way with many languages; however, that's why it's so hard to learn a foreign language--be it Spanish, French, German, Italian, or whatever--in school. You can learn the structure of it, but you don't learn to THINK it, so you never really learn to speak it well. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!
  9. When I did my first tandem, I was allowed to steer (a little) in the air, but told to let go when we were going to land. When I did my second tandem, as a training jump, I helped steer and flare. Whether that's because it was a training jump or what, I don't know, but I have seen it both ways, and I've only been around for 3-1/2 months. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!
  10. If it's causing an issue with safety, then it's time to do something about it. Otherwise, if the girls are stupid enough to be seduced that easily, then so be it. I don't know what he says to "seduce" them, but you might want to go into the "women only" forum and print out the thread on "worst pick up lines" to show them. Perhaps as a warning. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!
  11. The only thing I was compensating for when I had my truck was my fear of dying! I'd just totalled my Olds Alero, which I absolutely adored, and nearly totalled myself in the process. After three days in the hospital and three weeks of excruciating pain, I bought a 97 Dodge Ram 1500, and for about two years, I felt MUCH safer. I felt that if I ever got into another accident, unless it was with an 18 wheeler, I couldn't lose! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!
  12. When I get a chance to sit down and watch tv anymore, Trading Spaces on TLC, and I watch Friends and ER religiously during the regular season, even if it means recording it and watching it later. Unfortunately, I also got sucked into the American Idol worshipers, but I think I've broken out of that one now! (it was mostly about Ryan Seacrest, anyway--he's such a cutie!) ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!
  13. Your profile says you're in Austin. You should go in for some good southern humor. Try downloading some Jeff Foxworthy and Bill Engvell. These two sound like real southern rednecks, and their jokes and stories are hilarious! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

  18. Oh yeah, I don't remember that song... but I do remember seeing those guys at a club (The Back Room) in Austin, TX, back in 1990 I think... pretty hot stuff back then. The Back Room is still an awesome place to see some really great bands; I have an old friend who plays there a lot, and I've seen a lot of really great players there over the past 5 years or so... ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

The boss says, "You know Hung Chow, I really need you today. When I feel like this I go to my wife and tell her to give me sex. That makes everything better and I can go to work. You should try that." Two hours later Hung Chow calls again: "Boss, I do what you say and I feel great. I be at work soon.
