I still admire how you edite all the posts, adding "many" after 1 and 2 :lol:

Accuracy is important, si ma'am. And, we have an accountant in our midst, A+B=C, man!

I don't understand what the whle fuss is about.

In Poland if you have to show a foto ID before voting.

And you have to sign the voters list (did I call that right?) before you're offered a ballot.

Every election is the same.

And nobody's protesting against that.

It's too obvious, see ma'am: The Polish system prevents the illegal Mongolians from voting!

K, it's time to stop copying T-Bone with his monologues

Bailing on me, you traitress? Bad Asia! Bad, BAD Asia! :P

1. Tarklar = tard

2. I been cleaning the back yard since about 8 or 9.... All kindsa weed and stuff...

1. Why, thank you, si man.

2. Mrs. T-B. & I picked up and put up the gazebo today, bodyache man. I did the high-altitude stuff. Mini-B. and the cat supervised. As part of clearing off the back patio, Mrs. T-B. attacked a strange small patch of weeds between it and the casa and filled a Many-gallon (39) trash bag with weeds and detritus, si man, and uncovered several boards and other wooden materials to be thrown out by me, bodyache man. Mrs. T-B. celebrated her constructive feat by popping two Many-mg (325) enteric aspirin at my insistence*, and I shall celebrate by popping even stronger nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs before bed, grog man.

*Mrs. T-B. finally recognizes that when a gringo offers you a pill, or suggests that you take one, it's true love, gee man.

In need of annoying foreign spouse advice. [...] keep me from strangling hubs over this.

Part Many: Without hesitation, kick his culo hard, intensely, and relentlessly. Tell him that the "cultural implications" are that his family is a national embarrassment. Furthermore, tell him to tell them that Correa is handing out Obamaphones.

Over here you're being asked for ID while buying alcohol :P

They should check if you're at least 18 years old. Tho I was 30 and sill had to show my ID to buy vodka :lol:

Well, they checked to see if you were Many years old, and you were Many, so you had to show your ID to buy vodka. Elementary, my dear Asia, see ma'am.

My opinion: if your hubby has some extra money after paying a monthly rate of all his medical expenses, he should pay next month rate this month, to pay those expenses off quicker. And then he'll be able to buy his mother some expensive and not-needed-at-all toy quicker.

Sounds sensible, but it comes from a Polish accounting expert who doesn't even know their numerical system!

Did you count those words Steve???

He failed math. I shall help the poor clueless boy. Many, and Many.

Yeah, that's Many words!

See, Steveklar? See see see man?

Also how in the absolute #### has a mod not closed that "proof" thread?

Maybe none was f*cking online until it was noticed or reported, see ma'am.

I counted in Polish

Remedial Polish Math is obviously needed, sigh man.

it's Part4 Inheritance money [...] If the hubs has the cheek to ask for a share, kick him to the curb.

Except for the misspelling of "PartMany," where's the +Many button, huh man?

crazy price on sale from a dealer

used serger that was refurbished

we managed to grab the last of the expedits at 20% off and ikea-hacked them

Kit is ready to apply for U.S. citizenship, genuflect man.

Speaking of which, the Saturday GSs were disappointing in number, quality, and offerings, si and sigh man. Mrs. T-B. wanted to be free of Mini-B. for a while, so I took him. He refused to get out of the car even once in 2 hours, often tantrumming. I bought only Many (3) warshcloths for .Many (.75) and some overpriced Mason jars for [mumble, mumble].

Mrs. T-B. called for me to retrieve her so we could drop Mini-B. at his first swimming class. I did this and continued my route. The so-called "subdivision-wide mass GS" turned out to be exactly Many (4) casas on the same street. I got a set of Many (4) tinted tumblers for $Many ($3). That was the entire take, sigh man.

Next weekend is, if I recall, Memorial Day weekend, so it's unknown how many GSs might be scheduled. Regardless, I plan to hit all that there are, si and so there, man.

beat his skull in

If Mrs. T-B. were to try, or had ever tried, something like that, I'd kick, or would have kicked, her shapely culo, both in person and back to Ecu, see ma'am.

If I were you, I'd go spend all of it right now!

Even a blind squirrel, like Steveklar, finds an acorn occasionally. If the gubmint doesn't get it now, they'll get it when you take it out of wherever it's parked, see and sigh ma'am. Plus, you can buy the fancy phone for Ecu.

And I, I feel like Tarklar, yapping to myself...

[full height of indignation] You dare to scorn the all-time master of yap-selfing, huh man? Reported!!!!!

I almost had my husband willing to get it for me.

I volunteer Mrs. T-B. to give you lessons on how to bat some pretty puppy-dog eyes and say, innocently, "Sometimes, husbands buy their wives a ___," sigh ma'am.

I was looking for a ceiling fan for my gazebo

Quiet!!! Mrs. T-B. will hear!

They have Dairy Queens in The Canadian Republic?

In Canadia, the chain is known as: Dairy Queen, eh.

MIL had her car door stuck on the curb....apparently she opened the door....sat into the car....car sank....so did the door and got stuck in the ground
