Including long-eared furry ducks, for example - so now you know his secret. JA talks in a high squeaky voice and calls Emily "princess" at least twice per sentences. It can really grate after a while - like about 90 seconds. Chris is Uncle Christmas because that's what Sarah said when she heard his name.<br /><br />The vase was thrown by one elderly lady at another at their table of four when she thought the latter was monopolising the conversation with Stuart. The offender has been banished to a non-Stuart table.Assistant Village Idiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978011985085795099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-78996945254379788472012-12-24T15:33:13.470-05:002012-12-24T15:33:13.470-05:00Nice sturdy lookin' boys.

The fact is that you will still get injured just puttering around the house. The point is that by getting injured during exercise you have much better stories to tell. <br /><br />3. re: language. No surprise that Spanish was a bust. How can you expect to learn a language when none of the other people you are speaking with don't know the language either. If, however, you meet a speaker who is attractive in ways that motivate multi-linguism -- well, there you are. <br /><br />4. We also need the story of the thrown vase. <br /><br />5.
