Coffee it is,
Betty,
You are just being modest.
You are the best among us.
And,please stop playing the old lady card ,it doesn’t work.
I love to see the wonderful women who is the inspiration on this blog.
I will take you up on that.
See ya,
By the way,
Dear Betty,
A rule of thumb says : the way you write reflects the way you talk. So, don’t go around and say you can’t speak in English as well.
You beat me to it ,hands down
Yours
The bonehead:)
Check out this week’s podcasts!
Of which, #765 interests me and then gets and wins my attention! 😛
Lucy,
Celebrities have a reputation for entering very short marriages that end in divorce or annulment….???
Well, as far as I know, it’s always one of their living styles.
By that, I’m not insulting all celebrities as a whole.
There are also a great deal of “good” ones in the art world out there!
I just mean, as you’ve said above, they just have a reputation for it. 😉
Lucy,
Speaking of marriage, BTW
I remember reading a few days ago your listeners wrote in their comments asking whether you are a single or double.
In fact, me too, don’t know this mystery! 😉
Well, for those listeners who want to know it,
there is an episode #303,
Pay attention to the very end of that episode.
At there, Jeff reveals the fact. 😉
If Jeff WASN’T PULLING OUR LEGS on that podcast, you all will get to know the answer that you ever want to know. 😛
Thanks Jeff and Lucy for your new podcasts
and of course for letting me shoot the breeze here. 😉
Come on,
Huyen, my friend,
You’re warmly welcome!
keep it up!
Jeff

But the connection here is “ups and downs” !! more “downs” ! 😉

Just killing the time here,
When the new year 2012 set in,
I mapped out to listen to your podcasts #301 through #400,
