I LOVE soup 2much, I always ask what the soup de jour is in any restaurant I go to. Nams, "soup de jour" is soup of the day.

Then there is double coyote ugly. Double coyote ugly is when you chew off your remaining arm because you know she will be looking for a one-armed man.

LOL Todd.
Nearly the end of work on Friday. Well, it's 2.30pm - that's nearly the end of work isn't it.
I heard that soup de jour joke the other day on the radio. The customer asks the waiter what the soup de jour is and the waiter rushes off to the kitchen and comes back with a big smile and says "It's the soup of the day."
There was another one where the Prime Minister is dining with two aides. The waiter asks what she'd like. She says "I'd like a big sirloin steak medium rare."
The waiter says "what about the vegetables?"
She says "they'll have the same."

Are they Canadian French or France French? Makes a BIG difference. Nams...promise me you will check it out....because I will not do it justice.... ...the premise is a small village in GAULE 50 years B.C. It's the only village left that the Romans have not conquered... the village has a 'druide' who can cook up a magic potion that Asterix (and often the whole village) drinks to make him 'strong'...now...his best friend Obelix (who is my favourite BTW) doesn't need to drink it...he is always very strong....because he fell into the potion when he was small! The characters are loveable...there are 'running gags' that someone keep on making you laugh.... and actually one looks for....every culture, every country, every tradition and all of history is revisited and rewritten.....but the structure never changes..... Asterix and Obelix always WIN.... the Romans are always being outdone... there is always a celebration at the end.... what make the stories are all the references that occur 'in between'..... ...it is really really funny.....you need to read a few to start catching the 'running gags'.... Although movies have been made... nothing beats the originals..... texts by De Goscinny and cartoons by De Uderzo...

I'm with you Luna, they are wonderful. You caught the flavour of the stories completely.
There are also great punny names for all the characters, especially the Romans.

Idjiot ex was there, good for son, but can make my skin crawl on occassion. He had his stooopid Hawaiian shirt rolled up a bit to better see his stooopid MLC tattoos. His stooopid long hair & his dumb, stooopid boots. click, click like ladies shoes as he walks down the hall... Hi Nams...I see that seeing you ex got to you as much as it got to me seeing WS getting into car with OW just across the street when I went to pick up DS10! (....and yes...everyone saw everyone)... I just HATE....encounters with WS.... my whole body goes into 'survival mode'..... GAWD!

Hi Todd, thanks for asking. I am from Brazil I read what she wrote to larousse. Don't be fooled. Estrela is from Saint Paul, Minnesota. She even spelled Brasil wrong!

I couple of months ago the company began a recycling campaign. We all got three different colored trash cans and matching liner bags to recycle glass, plastic and aluminum. We use a lot of aluminum - so mush so that we easily fill a bag before Friday's collection day. We are okay on plastic and it will be roughly 9 more years before we fill up one single "glass" bag. There is no point to our recycling. It all gets thrown in the same hole in the desert. A few expats just complained that we didn't recycle and that makes very bad PR so the company decided to start. These expats are the same people who report to mods BTW.
Anyway, I bought a can crusher in Yeager's. It allows you to stack up cans and crush away - kind of semi-automatic. I installed it yesterday and I called the DDs out to the garage to try it because we had a bin full of empty aluminum cans. They loved it. They played with it all afternoon. Afterward they hugged me and thanked me and told me it was the nicest present I had ever gotten them. Go figure.

That's right, all the Brasil discussion and I betrayed myself... ops!
On another note, I just had another "talk" with H (I don't want to put the W before anymore, but I'm not ready to call him FW neither). He agreed to write NC as sample in SAA. He explained that he's used to talk to OW, that they became friends. I explained that he's just postponing finishing the A, that a friendship with OW is not acceptable. He said he's still in touch with old GFs. Do I have to explain to him why this situation is different? Well, I did. So he said he would sever contact with her.
Question: He will send her an e-mail and bcc me. Can I send her a personal note saying something along these lines: "You've already caused enough pain for me and my family. Do not contact my husband, under any pretext, ever again." ???

IMO it's a total waste of time and energy for a BS to be incontact with the OP for any reason.
