I took it in high school, and can understand a few words, but not sentences. My grade was't a very good one. I never could think in spanish. I always had to think in english and translate it in my mind, which takes too long when taking tests to pass the course.
Yea me too. And every word they speak has so many syllables that their tongue looks like a revolving door. I mess with my Mexican and Hispanic friends because of that.

Okay. We are home and I managed to get the bird songs uploaded to youtube. Excuse the video quality but it was more about the sound of the birds rather than the scenery. [emoji23]

That's why I have zebra finches. I love the noise they make. They sound like little laughing toys and they fly almost like hummingbirds.

Lol. I don't hear it when I talk. So not sure I have one. [emoji23] I will record myself talking sometime and then post it. Actually why don't each of us make a recording of ourselves telling a post instead of writing it down. Then we can all hear what each other sound like.
That sounds like fun.

I was able to get close enough to my latest stray cat to get his picture last night. Here is Evander (the feline formerly known as Tony):

View attachment 268541

(so named because of his ear) He's not neutered and he thinks he has to fight with my young, neutered male (who also thinks he has to fight). Evander (the feline formerly known as Tony) always gets the worst of it because he's old and Mr. Kitty is still pretty young. I was going to trap him and have him neutered, but because he's old I guess I'll just let his fighting self live here and let him be.
Even older tomcats will get calmer and better to handle when they are neutered. I would do this with your Tony. His agressions against other cats will lessen. That will be better for him and the other cats you feed.

So, fellow roomies. . . is it heat or cold for a sore back? This a.m. I felt like I was going to have a muscle spasm in my back (lower back twinge) so I put off the heavy lifting outside and opted instead for repotting a few plants. I took a couple Bayer Back and Body (they contain caffeine and I'm a bit wired right now because before I realized about the muscle spasm and taking the pills I drank a Slimfast Advanced Energy and they also contain caffeine). So now that I'm in the house for the rest of the day, my back is really starting to complain. I'm ready to vegetate in my recliner, but don't know if I should get the heating pad or an ice pack>?>??????????
Warmth is the best for muscles me thinks. Get well soon.:)

Hello guys, I know I've been gone a while but I was just checking in to tell you all that Merlin has successfully come out of his 4th hibernation at 5 months and 6 days! [emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]
That`s fine. Good news and well done @rjamesbeasley and Merlin. Go on to conjure in 2019.:):tort::<3:

I was worried about putting an older cat under anesthesia?????

That would be interesting! I wonder is there a way to do that without going through utube?

Use heat. If you have any Naproxen (Aleve) take that. It is an anti inflammatory and will help with the spasm. I can’t help with being wired out... lots of water maybe??

I think Evander is a beautiful Tom. I bet the vet would think it’s safe to neuter him. He seems very active so probably very healthy too... I don’t like hearing about the aggression towards you.

I was afraid it was a toad or frog hiding out. They have a way of waiting until you're asleep so they can land on you in the middle of the night.
He would have had to have found his way upstairs for that to happen!
If he was Prince Charming under a froggy spell then I wouldn't object too much!;)
But you have to kiss an awful lot of frogs to find him!

I would use heat - I believe it helps the muscles repair quicker.
