Well, M, the vet may be correct. Of course, along similar lines, I always have to chuckle when someone, often from the EU, talks of being "pure German" or "100 percent Italian", if you get my drift. Hope your countryfolks are adapting to the Virus. Country-wide lockdown now in Panama. Bessos. Coiza linda.
Yes, Melody. I actually find tarantulas a bit scary. But ones kept as pets do not seem to bite. (There there, why don't you hold it first?) But some may be dangerous. Years ago, while working on a project in the Panamanian jungle, our local guides had plenty of respect for both snakes and spiders alike. And how about that Harry Belafonte song about "Hey mister tally man, tally me bananas". He makes specific reference to the deadly tarantula. Day-O Song.
CC, YES! Less wrong---how spot on. Can I borrow it from you? Yep, and in President Trump's silly attempt to just will it all away, with good and bad components. we see a good deal. His love of country, and belief in the strength of our people and institutions. Also behind his challenging m,any vapid and biased reporters, and doubling down on responses to attacks. Of course, the down side is that he's quite wrong, and crudely playing to his base. Surprisingly, acting as a pol. Imagine that.
Thanks,. Micman. Nice broad view on the issue. My point was that illnesses such as the flu can affect history. But we already know how illnesses can often do so.
Immersion. my boy, immersion. Working on my fifth language, starting with Duolingo. Decent free platform, which takes one up to conditional subjective tenses. But it can only provide the 500-1,000 word basic vocabulary, which linguists know actually can take us pretty far.Then simply spend time living in the linguistic culture..Avoid anyone who isn't fluent in the language of interest, and listen to radio/TV, read papers, and so on. A GF ain't a bad idea, if she's hip. I once had such ideas for Mandarin, of course as a world tongue, but also to explore ancient texts on TCM and acupuncture. One party state's evolution sort of turned me off. Gotta master the ideogreams, my friend, at least on a basic level, for full effect. Otherwise you'll come across like the typical American high school foreign language teacher. Or worse, as one of those pathetic ESL dilettantes .
Not for the bright and really educated. The point was that some features of influenza can compromise mental abilities, and may lead to grave historical consequences, as most historians well know, OM. The reference to Biden and Trump was a clever distraction, which hit its mark. Didn't know at that public community college alma mater of yours, that they has an associates degree in missingthepointology. With a possible dual major of virtue signaling administration.
OK, OK, so there are a few hottie Latinos that can belt out a song or two. But when I start my crooning in Azorean here, be prepared for lots of women to start to melt. Just got to figure out to do so on this ancient machine. Of course this isn't an excuse.
And thanks, Melody, for the nice info on TV there. Boom to bust, with helps from pols. A lot of that going about world wide. But we are hearing little about virus spread in central and south America. Wondering if the populations are somehow resilient, or just out of the way. But Peru has lots of (seemingly corrupt) pols with roots in Japan. We present, Srta. Melody reporting, ---star cultural, political, scientific and man chasing reporterette, dateline Caracas. True news, VERY true.
Hey, So is it common there in your country for people to watch TV shows like Seinfeld? Are they on broadcast (roof antenna) TV or only cable/satellite, and are they in Spanish or English, or with subtitles. I know there are many such shows produced in Europe, notable Spain and Portugal, and the novelas are drama examples. I guess Mexico has its share as well. Are there such popular comedy and drama shows produced in Venezuela? Yes the ENORMOmeter. At first, I thought I'd use the term MICROmeter, but then had second thoughts.
Yep, M. One of my favorites there, and there are many. And a true confession. There were never 30 cm. On actual precise measurement, using a laser enormometer, the total was exactly 29.47.
Too dumb, mate, to load pics here. Hope to learn someday. And PF, I try to scrub my slate daily---just loosens more gray soot, all over the place. Onto my fingers, shirt, face and shoes.
You will never miss much, Diva, as during pillow chat in our tree top love nest, I'll blurt it all out. But while I got the Cyberscrutinizer to agree to this one exception, she placed me, little me---just imagine---under my own threat of disinvitation, NEVER to reveal these CS high security secrets to a soul. I tried to get her to agree to my also revealing all to my main competitors, CC and Pat, in a sneaky move toward false friendship and trust, without success. So there you have it. Do you like silk sheets?
Yep, AB. But their alt liberal fans hang on their every word. It's as sacred to them as Clinical Fetus Murder. I think that NPR's/PBS's total move away from their initial charter and purpose, while under taxpayer funding for decades, borders on criminality.
PF, when I travel overseas, I travel lightly. A small backpack covers each trip. Including computer, and golddiggerocidal spray bottles. And all I have with me can be washed in a sink. As in my student days there. Good for you.
Good points, all. And PF, from Grandma's typing hands, to your eyes. Just remember, one beer can be too many, and one thousand, never enough. I should know. But this actually brings to mind another upside to our little friendly virus buddy.
Thanks, MO. Our Friend. Yep, gas is down to about 2 bucks here, from near 2.70. My road machine tales 91 to 93 octane, but even that is a bargain. But I recall visits with ohana there, Ewa Beech, and it was always a lot higher. Even on base. Paradise has her costs. A bargain at any price, no?
