Brains and brawn. Or, la tęte et les jambes.

21659. Magoseph - 4/25/2007 12:15:28 AM

I have both!

Bienvenue sur notre site, Cavan!

What is the French for "the eyes see all"?
Thanks in advance!

Yeah, I think each parent/child relationship has its own bizarreness, too.

"life partner would not just be well cared for by their children"

I am busting a gut thimking of anyone caring well for me when I'm dying.

Heh, my aunt and I were talking today. She thinks she'll die alone and find her body later, and follow her burial plan as well as can be hoped.

21665. Ulgine Barrows - 4/25/2007 7:09:35 AM

I know I'll die alone.

21666. Ulgine Barrows - 4/25/2007 7:10:18 AM

Not so scary after 40 years contemplation, eh?

21667. Ulgine Barrows - 4/25/2007 7:15:45 AM

Er...sorry. Inapropriate dialogue for a cafe.

It was windy, very windy & stormy today.

Hail didn't damage my new car, though. I'm not pulling any insurance scams tonight, or any night.

21668. Ulgine Barrows - 4/25/2007 7:17:00 AM

mmmm, I love how i always get it wrong, Magoseph.

21669. Magoseph - 4/25/2007 11:21:21 AM

Er...sorry. Inapropriate dialogue for a cafe.

Only swearwords are inappropriate, Ulgine

"the eyes see all"?

Literal translation: Les yeux voient tout. Ali may weigh on this expression because I think there's an adage about eyes as, for example, about ears: Little pitchers have big ears.

Souviens-toi qu’il y a des yeux partout, Ulgine!

Meaning in my book: watch your step--but Ali will come on and decide. I just came back from the convenience store and I can't think for the moment, soaked that I am.

Mago, you sent us a cold rain today. What's in store for tomorrow?

21671. Magoseph - 4/25/2007 4:20:16 PM

Dear Wonk,

At your service, here it goes: Early rain--showers in the afternoon--high 46 with winds 20mph to 30mph--change of rain 70%--rainfall one and half inches.

Wiz darling, thanks for the hello!

21672. Magoseph - 4/25/2007 5:55:16 PM

I stole this picture for Wonkers:

We spent time in the safe room last night, waiting for tornados to hit...they didn't but we enjoyed a good chianti while waiting.

Arky, did you get any of that storm last night or did it peter out on the way?

21674. wonkers2 - 4/25/2007 7:58:17 PM

The Cap'n sez "Thanks, Mago. How about a moonlight cruise? Bring yer friend Sego along, no extry charge." How do you say "Wow, what a looker in French?" Quelle belle dame? How could she possibly lose?

21675. arkymalarky - 4/26/2007 2:31:13 AM

I know I'll die alone.

Could be, we never know. We just don't want to make it a self-fulfilling prophecy. I've seen people who I would have sworn that about, who were surrounded by loving family and friends in their last days due to changes most never thought they'd make (mostly involving alcohol).

21676. arkymalarky - 4/26/2007 2:32:40 AM

Judith,

It came through, but the line was very thin. Lots of wind and lightning but I'd say for less than 20 minutes. If I hadn't been awake I don't think it would have woke me up.

21677. arkymalarky - 4/26/2007 2:33:56 AM

New Car? Wadja get, Ulgine?
