:hello: back my friend!

I'm good thanks. I'm travelling at the moment. I'll be in London for a few more days before moving on.lane:

I hope you're likewise doing well?:thinking:

I can certainly sympathize with a heavy study/work schedule!:bugeyed That's what these trips are for!

I'm so glad you're back because we've lost a lot of members through the attrition of time and the fact that this is a forum dedicated to a deceased celebrity.

So . . .

:hug:

P.S. It's obvious you haven't been on in a while because you posted on your own profile!:lol:

Hi my friend!!!
How are you?
Thank you for your posts!!
I've been away for a long time .... lot of work, study.
But now I'm back.
kisses

I hope you return in time to see this:

And I thought I was a slacker around here!:bugeyed

I completely understand how your course(s) at the university can cut into your leisure time, some of which, as you've stated, you'd like to spend here.:yes:

I'm sorry to hear that you were upset about someone exploiting Michael. I know the feeling!

It's good not to leave the books for too long when you're taking a course!

Thanks, I will. You do as well!

Hi!

I'm doing fine and replying to your message after almost 2 months!:bugeyed

I still have the Christmas feeling . . . and the New Years feeling for that matter!

I'm glad to hear your problems were solved!

Thanks I had a great weekend that one in January and I've had some pretty good ones, some better than others, since then!

:hug:

I'd almost forgotten about that song! Thanks for the translation. It was so funny, it really made me laugh! As for your question, it's just a lighthearted juvenile ditty!

Oh, and that was a very valuable service you provided, translating the trail transcripts into Portuguese. I hope everyone who benefited from your efforts thanked you for them.

Hi!

Yeah, I really missed you here and am so happy to here back from you after all this time. I thought you might have left for good!:bugeyed But I'm glad you're back now. Hopefully, you can visit more often.:thinking:

:hug:

Seriously, I haven't heard from you in a while so I'm keen to know if everything is fine with you?:thinking:

It seems to be taking sometime to translate those lyrics!:bugeyed:thinking:

I didn't know it would be as hard as Egyptian hieroglyphics:



:D

Where's my translation?! I think I've been quite patient!

I need another message because:


The song was a youtube recommendation that appeared after a song I was listening to ended! Great song, huh?!

It was a good Sunday, thanks!

Have a good week!

You take care as well but hopefully you will check back sooner!

:hug:

Hi!



I'm so glad to hear from you! It's been a long time! I hope you are doing well these days?:thinking:

But just because you haven't met them that doesn't mean that good journalists don't exist!:D We mustn't be so egocentric as to think that our own experiences are the sole shapers of reality! But I hope you do meet some righteous journalists one day.:yes: But I have to ask you this: do you consider a journalist righteous only if he or she agrees with your point of view or has your code of ethics?:thinking:

Actually, the standard of living has increased markedly in recent decades due to medical advances but because of this the genetic quality of the individual has declined because those with a predisposition to susceptibility are being artificially buoyed by all the advances. In the past, nature would have killed them off.

I thought this news item might be of interest to you: World's oldest woman dies in Brazil at age 114.

I was wondering if you are able to translate or can can tell me where to find the translation for the lyrics in this song:

*It is not the most sophisticated or thoughtful song, obviously, but I would like to know nonetheless.

I have relaxed the strained relations considerably.

Your present avatar is lovely.

Take care.:hug:

Thanks for your Easter message!

I know this is very late, as I haven't logged in here for 2 months, but I would also like to wish you a Happy Easter!

Don't you think you're generalizing a bit?

Thanks for your concern. It is appreciated. I needed to take some time off to catch up on things I couldn't attend to while I was on my trip. Frankly, I also experienced some strained relations with members here but I have resolved most issues in that regard.

What do you have against journalists?!:thinking:

I hope you are doing well these days.

:hug:

P.S. Your avatar is beautiful. Where is it from?:thinking:

Thanks for the educational and informative post. Despite my reserved nature, it has inspired me to someday attend a Carnival for the experience if nothing less. Prior to your post all I knew about the Carnival was what I gleaned from the 1965 James Bond film Thunderball!:bugeyed

It is world famous so I've heard of it of course but I must confess I don't know many details. Perhaps you would care to enlighten me?!:thinking:

Is it in anyway related to Mardi Gras?:thinking:

I hope you have a good weekend as well!

Except for one or two reversals, I am enjoying myself immensely. Thanks for asking!

Isn't moving to a new place also like a vacation but a permanent vacation?!:thinking:

I also have a couple of other questions:

Did you move to your new place by choice or did circumstances dictate that you do?:thinking:

Do you miss your old place?:thinking:

Take care

:hug:

At the Carnival, please avoid this chap:



:D

Oh, that's okay! You can take your time. I'm not your boss!

Moving is usually quite a hassle. I hope your new place is safe and comfortable.:yes:

I'm doing great. I hope you are too.

Same to you.

:hug:

I was deliberately one day late with my Valentines Day greetings just so I could use this superb graphic I scanned from a Batman comic book!

Here's a 'little hand'



:):D
