Hi
I would like to share with you something really sweet I saw today going up hiking.
Laying low on the grass there was Mom deer with a little one.
I am not an expert on these things, but here what she did: as she heard me approaching, with a few quick jumps she went and left behind the little one alone.
I believe she was nearby. I did not get near the baby who was laying low on the grass motionless. I just took a photo from where I was standing and moved on.
That was a special moment.
Thanks bye!
Hi! “Be prepared to meet Mrs. Failure, be lucky getting a job!”
Unfortunately, this is the cruel truth.
Hi! Dear Betty, you latinos dance?
I’d like to see you dancing.
It is wonderful.
I have seen many figure skating dancers from Asia dancing on European classic music.
Graceful, graceful, graceful!
Hi, Dan! You really want to envy you.
A fairyland!
Hi! Dear Emiliano, how are you? Where are you?
We are waiting for you with your optimism.
We need you.
Hello everyone
Today I heard the term “Hogwash” twice. I did not know what was its meaning, so I looked it up.
Basically it is used instead of the other term starting with Bull@#€£.
I heard it first on a prank call on You tube at Ownage pranks.
After that I heard it from the mouth of Judge Jeanine Pirro. As always, referring to Mr Obama.
By the way, on Yopu tube I have found an interesting tv show called Penn and Teller Bull…..
Thanks
