    I am fine. Looking tons of cheesy movies from the great TV show MST3K that is lots of fun!
    Right now I am listening to Ronald Jenkees. Do you guys Know him? check him out on Y. tube.

    Hey, have you ever seen the Y tube channel Epic Rap Battle of History? You are going to learn History and English at the same time and have fun. hehehehe

    I am looking forward to looking at Parviz’s video.

    I know, I spend many hours watching videos, and I am also eating tons of peanuts coming from Texas.

    I am not going to get fat like Peter. Besides sitting I also walk miles in the woods. Just the other day I had the pleasure of spotting two young Deer. I was so happy.

    Thank you and have a good week everyone

    Hi! Dear Fredy, maybe you are at another level of English if you cannot understand our teachers.
    Be sure that our teachers give us all details to understand better , and all their “soul”.
    That’s why we love them very much.

  5. Tania says:

    Thank you.

  6. Tania says:

    Hi! Is there snow in your woods, Dan?
    It is raining in my country.
    We are waiting for snow at least for the season holidays when a lot of people prefer to go to the mountains.
    I’d like to go , too.
    All happy people, laughing, music…
    And the life is so short…

  7. Marcos says:

    Hi everyone

    As always new words and phrases to improve my English, as kegger, menace, waylay. So, kegger in my neighborhood are raro and I never need waylaying people outside because nothing ever menaced or menace my sweet home.

    Thanks

  8. Dan says:

    Hi Tania

    I doubt we are going to see snow this winter.
    This year has been unusually wet over here with lots of rain and humidity, and the temperatures are too high.
    These days around ten degrees C.

    Bye

  9. peter says:

    I have insomnia.
    I can’t sleep a wink most nights , just toss and turn.
    I might as we’ll make Sth out of it ,like learning some terminology for it.

    Looking forward to it

    Thanks

    High in the mountains there are bellow zero Celsius degees and a little snow.
    But in the South, with mediteranian influence , there are and seven Celsius degees.
    For the moment we have yellow code for raining.
    Thank you, Dan.
