John Ratzenberger visited the Jacuzzi plant in one episode of his Travel Channel show “Made in America.” (Sadly, the show was canceled over the summer after five seasons on the air. :sad:)
Did she just show that guy who took a bath in a Burger King sink, that made its way all over the internet and then the news? I thought that what that guy did was kinda stupid.
I wear a watch… auto wind and water proof, It signifies a goal I set and achieved. When I look at it I’m reminded I can do anything if I put my mind to it….
Are Jacuzzis still popular? Are you kidding me? :shock: Oh boy! I used to go over my bosses house and sit in his Jacuzzi (he had a true Jacuzzi brand) for an hour or two. There would be like 6 people in the darn thing. We would talk shop like flying model R/C airplanes and racing R/C cars. The girls would talk about… well whatever they talk about. It can’t be of anything of importance. :roll: :mrgreen: That’s all on week days. Weekend was a different story. We would have so many people show up we would have to take turns in Jacuzzi. :roll: Rarely there would be a time no one was in it. One of my favorite things to do in a Jacuzzi is sit in the thing during a snow storm. :shock: Nice and warm and try to catch snow flakes on your tough. Sounds a bit crazy but its really fun. Another fun thing to do is try breathing under water. Sure you can use the aerators bubbles, but I found a more intimate method that’s fun to do with your Jacuzzi buddy. Oh yea, you have to have a Jacuzzi buddy. You never know you might need mouth to mouth resuscitation from drowning in the Jacuzzi. :shock: Speaking of Jacuzzi buddies, Marina I think you should have one. You never know you might just stop swimming unexpectedly and risk drowning. :mrgreen: Since we are on the subject, my first aid & CPR certification is about to expire and I need to brush up on mouth to mouth resuscitation. Can you help me out? :mrgreen:
p.s. Young Grasshopper, Your Kung Fu is getting better! :mrgreen: Just be careful. I broke my own nose once. :shock: Ok laugh all you want. :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :lol: :lol: Oh there goes my pride, now shriveling up into a little ball the size of a mustard seed. :cry:
calling all buzzword, calling all buzzword … re the essential oils stuff: :)
after a long period of occasional doodling around looking for essential oil info that wasn’t mere new age fluff …
… i found a site called: “Safe Alternative Medicine” which actually has genuinely useful info:
there seems to be two different methods of hoick the oils into the air.
I’m only familiar with the crude dish-of-heated-water method (vaporiser or burner).
The other fancy method appears to be termed “diffuser” (by means i havent checked).
this is the kind of thing i … [White Ceramic Oil Burner]
which is basically a dish (to hold the water to which to add drops of oil) on a stand with a nightlight candle in it.
There seems to be an unfortunate habit of essential oils sites focussing on malaise rather than enhancement, so you have to do some extrapolating and testing {shrug}.
You guys are a little quiet without me to stir up trouble?
Does anyone have anything interesting to talk about?
A word I have a lot of problem with is FREE.
What is your definition of Free?
My definition of Free; ….
Someone else pays for or gives something they own….
Is air free? Is sun light free? I say no, but what is it?
I don’t know why, but there is just something sexual about that word. COCKTAIL. :mrgreen:
Maybe it is named that because it sometimes comes after the drinking. Guys going out and grabbing some TAIL with their huge… :wink:
I was just joking around with that last post, but I took some time to think about it as its reference to time. Maybe it is some kind of rooster (cock) reference. When a COCK first notices the sunrise, its TAIL faces west where the sunsets, which is when people normally start drinking. I don’t know, it seems like a plausible guess. :idea:
I think your first answer is closest, seriously, but I really have no idea.
I though it would be an interesting word for Marina to research but
i guess not. It would be great if she did….. Your second one is very intelligent and thoughtfull….
look. if mac was so great and pcs were so inferior or whatever, everyone would be using a mac. but the majority doesn’t. must be a reason for that.
you’ll always hear something like, “i bought a mac because i don’t get any viruses / malware.” but actually it’s rather, “i bought a mac because i don’t know how to protect my computer.”
there are macs that come with xp, i think. but, if you use xp on a mac — why did you buy a mac then?
you can do everything you do on a mac on a pc, too.
Thanks alx :mrgreen: . I don’t think sales has anything to do with one company being inferior/superior. Someone has to do better than the other. I also think it is because mac is quite expensive and you can only get mac on an apple computer, whereas Windows don’t make their own computers.. Others do.. like HP Packard Bell etc, so there is much more chance of sales, apple limits them exclusively to themselves :neutral: . I wish it was as simple as being able to do all I could on a pc.. But lately when I have made videos things look good then I publish it and it freezes midway, Windows can be VERY VERY irritating. I used to be a sworn windows lover.. Didn’t like mac at all but now.. I think out of wanting to try something different.. and desperation. i am buying one.
alright. if you hear a voice laughing because something doesn’t work and you can’t find another program … it’s me. hehe.
yeah, if you can’t handle a real computer and don’t know how to fix stuff, you’d better get a mac.
besides, what does not making their own computers have to do with anything? you don’t buy an operating system without a computer, do you? a person wants a computer. goes into a store. there are macs, there are pcs. you decide. most people in that situation get a pc. why? well, think about it.
but, if you got too much money and you think you need overpriced crap, go right ahead and buy one of those girly computers.
Its not that at all. I just am not going to be forced into downloading other stuff because windows is too stupid to do it.. I tried to look at some other stuff. But I didnt get on.. I think PC would be easier than mac to use. but i will get used to it.. I will use my pc and my mac.. And how the hell can a computer be girly :?:
i think if you take the situation purely on it’s own terms (i.e. what you do isn’t for a resume)
assuming that sw available on both machines is equally lucid (because this would be the priority – rather than the machine)
.. then the Mac/PC thing is entirely irrelevant. I think there’s a historical preference for Mac because in the past it specialized in video (and printing). … the days are gone when there was a technological benefit to using one or the other.
Plus .. current macs and pcs have oodles of processing power for the normal human being producing vids with fancy effects.
ie. on technological terms .. don’t matter one bit.
The real differences are in marketing.
coolness and elitism of the mac v. the everyman pc.
cool suave erm .. top macintosh guy v. evil gazillionaire Bill Gates,
etc.
James…. I was simply trying to make your life easier if you wanted to edit videos Macs are the easiest to work on.. but I am not going to bother defending my advice.. I am simply telling you what worked for me and basically every other person I have ever run into in Hollywood where they make a lot of movies. If you want to buck the system then use your pc.. and good luck.
Ya James
It like a bicycle is easier to ride then a motorcycle.
It is slower and does less so there is less to go wrong.
Macs are ok to use as long as no one sees you with it. :lol:
… what’s most important is your style, content, and presentation .. the technology is secondary, it’s only there as your platform … however, being of the male gender, you’re likely to be seduced by technology – so beware – go spartan with technology.
I would suggest get the software with the very minimal range of capabilities .. i.e. only sufficient to do the bare essentials .. do you can concentrate on what really matters .. ie. your presence, material, etc etc.
I go all over the place mijj. :lol: I can get on with about anything… I would say what technology I have bought in the last year.. But people would probably think I was bragging << thats not bragging by the way <<nor is that << or that << or that << or that << or that << or that << or that << or that << or that << or that << or that << or that << or that
.. in other words the Mac/PC thing is irrelevant – unless you’re planning to go into the vid production biz professionally, then i guess it’s relevant for the resume.
yeah, and if you do it professionally, you’ll need a fast computer. look at this:
Mac Pro
8 cores standard, up to 3.2 GHz
Start building your Mac Pro with our suggested configuration:
Two 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon “Harpertown” processors
2GB memory (800MHz DDR2 fully-buffered DIMM ECC)
ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT graphics with 256MB memory
320GB Serial ATA 3Gb/s 7200-rpm hard drive1
16x double-layer SuperDrive
When you add up the cost of your productivity going to zero while you remove the adware and viruses from your computer because your cousin used your computer for 5 minutes and clicked OK when the popup said (click here to view cute flash card) .. then the Mac is a bargain! (I’m just playing with you aLx :-) )

if i’d buy such expensive machine i’d put in 2 4870 X2′s in CrossFireX :lol: but now apple won’t let you do that :???:
But you can put in 32 gigs of ram :S weird….
do you need a raid card in a mac to put your hd’s in a raid confirguration? lol it costs 710 euros :lol:
a 1tb sata HD costs 360 euro’s wth!?!?! last time i checked a 1 tb HD was 100 euro’s in the computer store….
I just configured a mac pro that has just about the same specs as my pc altough I have a 24 inch display and this mac has a 23 inch display, in total the mac pro costs € 5.446,00 ….
my pc cost me a total of 700/800 (can’t really say exactly) euro’s :???: (took me a long time to get the cheapest hardware tough)
buying a mac because it has an “Isight” or because it doesn’t get any viruses is just the most stupidest reason -.-
the isight thing is like buying a specific really bad! car just because it has a cupholder or something :???:
I’v never had any trouble with viruses or popups or whatsoever wth are those anyway? :shock:
… you could use a photo of your face and cut out the chin and mouth part and animate that, Southpark Canadian style. … and you could have Marina as an animated photo cutout in there too .. get round those massive appearance fees she charges.
actually .. i was thinking earlier .. if i wanted to upload music it’d help with sound quality if i could keep the image part of the bandwidth down, so a simple animation would be the best thing to do.
Adobe Flash does that kind of thing real easily.
.. cetp, of course :oops: it isn’t going to be as easy as pointing a camera and recording.
It’s quiet here today, all the kids are back in school now.
What does leisure and school have in common :?: :?: Someone needs to investigate. :smile: :roll: :roll: :grin: :grin: :wink: :mrgreen:
Hello Marina. I fond your profile on you-tube and found it really cool. I would be happy if you explain me why Russian salad is named like that?? thank uuuuuuuuuuu
I use my hot tub most every day. It’s even more fun when it freezing outside! In fact it is used for both therapeutic and social purposes. I do use the term “hot tub,” however rather than Jacuzzi®.
привет Marina,
Thats about the only Russian I know :)
I would like to know the origin of “Soap Box Derby”
I understand the “derby” part, but where does “Soap Box” come from?
Its homemade car racing…what does soap have to do with it!? Haha.
Thank you so much! Loving you videos!
– Babydoll26 (Alicja Dzbanuszek)
When these things first started, the carts were literally made from wooden boxes that were used for shipping soap. After the the soap was delivered, kids would take the empty boxes and put wheels on them and coast them down hills.
The good ole days are gone. There is nothing like that to show the younger generation how we grew up and what we played with. I mean in the dirt. Trucks and little cars, soap box cars. make go carts out of wood frames and push each other. Take three old bikes and make one. Carve out boats to play in a mud puddle. Climb trees and make a tree house, man I am getting old. I don’t feel it yet. I still like to play. But now the bigger the boys the bigger the toys.
Hot tubs are seen in HOT HOT places like TX, but only during the spring or colder months–it’s fun to get that contrast when it’s in the 50s outside!!
I haven’t seen any here in Northern Cali, but that doesn’t mean they’re not around…I just don’t have the money to associate with millionares or even the upper middle class who could afford it.
I think they were a fad for people who could afford it in the 90s, then the fad began to fade :smile:
Marina…looks like you can’t get enough karate-do!!
Invigorating once you get started, isn’t it!?!
That, or you like being silly…either works…as long as you enjoy it :wink:
hello Marina
I’m from Mexico City and I would like to know the origin of the word: DUDE… i’m not a native english speaker so it could help me to understand my american friends… and also, is the word DUDE using in UK?
Muchas Gracias — thank u a lot :idea:
Hey mijj , what a coincidence. My neighbor is a drummer singer musician So Calif. As we were breaking down his drum set for his gig on Sunday, I mentioned Phil Collins and one of my favs – Coming in the air tonight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=manxPVTLth8
drums always mystified me .. just someone banging bits of stuff .. til, some time ago, i had a shot at messing with drums in FL studio (virtual music workstation thingy). It was excruciating trying to get something to sound human and natural rather than mechanical.
Since then i started paying attention to what they actually get upto and the kind of things that could be done. That “intelligent drum deployment” vid is chock full of inspiration.
Thanks for those links, karl. :)
I think i prefer my simian cousin’s version to the Collin’s one.
Interesting question! I was imagining a hut with walls made of
hulled-out sugar cane, or a house made of rock-candy.
Instead, all I could find was reference to the Sheena Easton 1984 song “sugar walls,” which was, according to the Urban dictionary: a complimentary term for a kickin vagina
The Jacuzzi has been very popular here above the 49th parallel for a long time. Swimming pools much less popular… too much… maintenance and heating costs.
One time I walked around the corner to find a married friend in the Jacuzzi with a girl with big boobs – no top on. (lucky guy LOL) I really shocked them and she was about to get up. My mind was instantly racing for a response. What to do – what to do??? I motioned with my hands for her not to get up… (although I was interested in seeing more)… I did a pirouette and said I sorry I must have the wrong address!! and left. Oh boy!
My friend and I have a phrase request. “Put your foot in your mouth”! Crazy!
We’ve been trying to figure this out for years, and we can’t find a solid answer anywhere, online or otherwise!! If someone can do it, we know you can!
I wouldn’t mind if Marina put her foot in my…OKAY, I WON”T GO THERE! :twisted:
That was bad. I didn’t cross the line, did I? Because I was just joking around. I have a bit of a bold, dark sense of humor. Sorry, if I caused any offense.
Anyone that wants to upload a video to the Best Weekend Ever contest has 2 minutes to do so. Ooops, too late. The upload phase has ended and the viewing phase is now in effect. Marina leads with 3187 votes over second place video with 1678 votes.
Monday voting has just started and this is the last week of voting for Marina. The end of the contest is midnight ET Saturday Sept 13.
Marina now has 3207 votes.

You want HER to do a piece on it :?: Looks like U JUST DID IT :razz:
By the way, anyone who keeps a bunch of apes obviously can’t be showing any shrewdness :wink:
Guessing from how much it is for a mere pack of cigarettes, I’m guessing it would be a bloody murder (of crows :smile: ) to buy a pack of weasels, let alone a pack of bears :!: :!:
Hot tubs, backrubs, candles, champagne…. :mrgreen:
these are a few of my favorite things.
Adustable blower jets are the way to go!
You already know that, I bet – heh heh! :twisted:
Relaxing and ……stimulating, yeowza!
The best is when there’s a cold plunge
available to follow up a hot soak. :grin:
Your front snap kick looks improved!
Be sure to do warm ups, first – less chance
of a tendon pull or muscle rip. You won’t
enjoy it if that happens. Chi-ya, babay :smile:
A good teacher is always one step ahead of the students. :wink: :grin: :razz: Yesterday in the Calender post I put forth the proposition of what words came directly from the names of inventors, :idea: and there she goes. Can we all get a peak of your Lesson Plan? :?: :???: :smile: :smile: :mrgreen:
Oh yeah!!, Jacuzzis are still popular, in fact I own one here at my place… The problem is that I live in Mexico, if you wanna see it any time just let me know and I promise it’ll be REALLY FUN!! :smile: :wink:
Oh yeah. Jacuzzi’s rock! Especially when you have a beautiful Russian blonde with you. I won’t tell anyone Marina – I promise it will be between you an me and no further……Oh. I just told everyone on your web site. Well, I still stand by my offer!
Send me an email and we’ll hook up! Did I mention that I’m Italian? I HAVE TO TRY, DAMN!
I’m not trying to be offensive… Captain Jack has requested that I do this for ease of searching through the words for requests. I’ll gladly ask him if he or Marina wants me to continue or change or stop. Thanks
Fianchetto
Jacuzzi’s seem to be popular items in the new housing market in the area where I live. I dont own one and have only used a jacuzzi hottub maybe once or twice in my time. I do however have a jacuzzi water well pump in my water well. This pump is supposedly is manfactured by the Jacuzzi company.
Your camera might be bruised and needing a nice warm jacuzzi after that kick. No no!,don’t do it!,I was just kidding!
I work in new houses often but haven’t seen one with,or designed for, a jacuzzi lately,prolly been a few years.Older houses can be retrofitted so this info is no “tell all”.
Jacuzzi is a trademarked name, but like Xerox, it has come into common use for any brand ( by the public ).
When using a public spa of any brand please be certain it is well maintained. By this I mean the water itself more than the also important mechanical parts. Spas should be checked at least every 2 hours for adequate Bromine ( more stable than Chlorine in the warmer water ) and pH levels. Untreated spas have been linked to outbreaks of Legionaires Disease. If the water is even a little green stay out. Trust me.
along with kleenex, polaroid, band-aid, q-tip, post-it, scotch tape, styrofoam, and, most recently, i-pod – all are brand names that have become commonly used…
Another product of popular culture, which is now made it to mainstream dictionaries (Mirriam Webster), is used in marketing strategies all over the internet, and Hip Hop/Rap songs :smile:
Isn’t creativity grand?
Just now watched the jaccuzzi vid. I tried to join in your vigil, but failed, While I was away, remembered who the tiger picture reminded me of…all exotic & smokey eyed, with a vulnerablity, betraying her power & grace, in a hostile environment, Sade, my favorite song of hers.
i’ve probably mentioned this before but i’ve worked with the somali population. thought i’d recommend some music. check out k’naan he’s good. his song what’s hard core challenges the practice of valuing violence to establish street cred, what is the price of establishing violence as a commodity, the collapse of a culture?. anyway, the somali culture has a rich oral tradition, they did not have a written language until the 70′s, most people could speak at least three languages. from their shores they have witnessed the ebbing and flowing of the worlds most powerful cultures since the time of the egyptians.
Not doubting your research but, I’m not sure “Jacuzzi” has it’s origin in baths. :???: :idea: :shock:
Jacuzzi is a company name.
I believe they made first water jet pumps.
They were used in shallow draft jet boats in Vietnam circa “Apocalypse Now”. :?: :?: :idea:
I think it’s more in line with jet boats and wave runners than hot tub baths. :idea:
Hope you won’t need the karate skills when we ace your trip to Las Vegas. :razz: :razz:
#32 is supposed to go on trial there soon and he has a thing for lovely blonds. (Look out he has a ………..) :evil:
Maybe some karate attack dog training for Kobe :grin: :grin:
Hey Wetsuit as far as I can tell the Jucuzzi company has been around since 1915.
Company History:
A wholly owned subsidiary of U.S. Industries, Jacuzzi Inc. is the originator and world’s largest manufacturer of whirlpool baths, with which its name has become synonymous. Jacuzzi was founded in 1915 and remained a family owned and operated company until 1979 when it was bought by Kidde Inc.
wetsuit5, Jacuzzi made items for airplanes.. and I think they made the first small sized airplane for transporting mail.. or something like that.. then the head of the company made a whirlpool bath for his son who had Rheumatoid arthritis.. which is how the first Jacuzzi bath was made.. and the rest is history. I gave you the origin of the word Jacuzzi to describe hot tubs.. as most people don’t realize it is a brand name.
Is Marina coming to fabulous Las Vegas? I’ve lived here since October 1995. Currently starting my second year of teaching First Grade. But I was a casino dealer for nine years, and have also worked for RV caravan and condo timeshare companies (one year apiece). Favorite activities? Rock scrambling and off-roading!
краÑÐ¸Ð²ÐµÐ¹ÑˆÐ°Ñ Masrina, How could you possibly post a video while the 49er football gane is televised? Don’t you enjoy Americn football? Luckily, the commercial breaks are so long, I can catch up with your video and post a reply. For your homework, there usually is a Jacuzzi or similar water device at most hotels I use. I don’t go into publicly used swimming pools or jacuzzi baths anymore. I got a skin infection, once. I like to see you in your swimming suits, though! :-) Your Ð¼Ð½Ð¾Ð³Ð¾Ð´ÐµÐ»ÑŒÐ½Ð°Ñ student, seesixcm6
Yes, we’re watching football on TV! That’s why I mis-spelled Marina’s name, too! I guess things might be like this every Sunday until after the Superbowl! I’d still like to see Marina in her bikini bathing suit, or if we go to a private Jacuzzi, she wouldn’t need a bathing suit at all! :grin: seesixcm6
The name was shortened toTaumata. I don’t know how to pronounce the original name. If you want more info go here. Maybe Marina will post that word for you. :smile:
Hello mijj, Maybe you just need a break
or two
or three
maybe a little TV?
or a little more TV
As much as I try to stay away from here I’m drawn back like there’s a little black hole forming here
no more breaks for me — i think i can handle the intoxication of M’s presence now i’ve realised if my brain sizzles, then i can skip the video. :) (she’s so good in those i could practically taste her.) .. though that means i’d probably lose marks if we’re examined. :(
not keen on the parade of bathing beauties – cattle market.
… the tech presenter girl is nice … :)
… if she could be in command and take lessons from M on charisma, she’d be a beaut. … and then after that, she may be ready to loosen a few of the buttons. :)
Now, why is it that seeing anyone attractive conjures up a comparison with M?
Could you do the word banana ?
xD
Its kind of strange ! Its calld the same in greek too ! Μπανανα !
And pronounced the same ! (Μπ = b , α = a , ν = n)
Pleaseee !!
Hello Capman911,
This show brought to mind an episode of “Home Improvement”.
Tim was adjusting the speed on his hot tub jets when his wife walked in and asked what he was doing to the tub. He said he was adjusting the speed of the jets to three speeds; low, medium and- who needs a man.
…{bath} or do the word {SHOWER}

John Ratzenberger visited the Jacuzzi plant in one episode of his Travel Channel show “Made in America.” (Sadly, the show was canceled over the summer after five seasons on the air. :sad:)
Let me try that sad emoticon again: :sad:
To be more specific, John visited one of Jacuzzi’s plant in Chino, California; one of many plants worldwide.
Marina, I hear so many people say “Ja coo zy” including you.
Shouldn’t it be pronounced “Ja coot zy” like “pizza?”

Did she just show that guy who took a bath in a Burger King sink, that made its way all over the internet and then the news? I thought that what that guy did was kinda stupid.

Hey Marina!
When you say “by the way”, does the way refer to the way as in “way better” or the way as in “railway”?
Love, Maxim ;)
hello marina,
may you sexyteach us something on the word “bravo” ?

Thanks, duvduv, for your WORD REQUEST: “bravo”
J’accuse y.
hmmm .. according to Yahoo babelfish…
“J’accuse y” translates as “I show there”.
so a “J’accuse y” is probably the French expression for a TV or something.
I also accuse you :twisted:
:shock:
James, what is your accusation?
Je t’accuse is I accuse you
Are Jacuzzis still popular? Are you kidding me? :shock: Oh boy! I used to go over my bosses house and sit in his Jacuzzi (he had a true Jacuzzi brand) for an hour or two. There would be like 6 people in the darn thing. We would talk shop like flying model R/C airplanes and racing R/C cars. The girls would talk about… well whatever they talk about. It can’t be of anything of importance. :roll: :mrgreen: That’s all on week days. Weekend was a different story. We would have so many people show up we would have to take turns in Jacuzzi. :roll: Rarely there would be a time no one was in it. One of my favorite things to do in a Jacuzzi is sit in the thing during a snow storm. :shock: Nice and warm and try to catch snow flakes on your tough. Sounds a bit crazy but its really fun. Another fun thing to do is try breathing under water. Sure you can use the aerators bubbles, but I found a more intimate method that’s fun to do with your Jacuzzi buddy. Oh yea, you have to have a Jacuzzi buddy. You never know you might need mouth to mouth resuscitation from drowning in the Jacuzzi. :shock: Speaking of Jacuzzi buddies, Marina I think you should have one. You never know you might just stop swimming unexpectedly and risk drowning. :mrgreen: Since we are on the subject, my first aid & CPR certification is about to expire and I need to brush up on mouth to mouth resuscitation. Can you help me out? :mrgreen:
p.s. Young Grasshopper, Your Kung Fu is getting better! :mrgreen: Just be careful. I broke my own nose once. :shock: Ok laugh all you want. :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :lol: :lol: Oh there goes my pride, now shriveling up into a little ball the size of a mustard seed. :cry:

Hey Marina! I would like to request for the word ” Coconut ” If it is not a nut, why a coconut? THANKS!! :lol:
Jacuzzi :smile: rhymes with Uzi :twisted: , the Israeli assault pistol, and Doozy, from the Duesenberg luxury automobile :cool: .
Marina, when I type “kinda” it doesn’t show up as a spelling mistake. Is kinda actually an official word now?
YES
there are no “official” or “unofficial” words.
Amen Alx, we agreed on that some time back. :wink:
I think you’ll find “official” and “unofficial” are both words.
Is it a word?

calling all buzzword, calling all buzzword … re the essential oils stuff: :)
after a long period of occasional doodling around looking for essential oil info that wasn’t mere new age fluff …
… i found a site called: “Safe Alternative Medicine” which actually has genuinely useful info:
[Aromatherapy - index]
including …
[The Basics of Aromatherapy] (background)
[How to Blend Essential Oils]
that sound awfully complicated .. i just drip the oils straight from the little bottles into the oil burner.
[Top Ten Essential Oils]
there seems to be two different methods of hoick the oils into the air.
I’m only familiar with the crude dish-of-heated-water method (vaporiser or burner).
The other fancy method appears to be termed “diffuser” (by means i havent checked).
this is the kind of thing i …
[White Ceramic Oil Burner]
which is basically a dish (to hold the water to which to add drops of oil) on a stand with a nightlight candle in it.
alternatively, if you’re lush with cash …
this is an extortionate [Ultrasonic Misting Diffuser]
There seems to be an unfortunate habit of essential oils sites focussing on malaise rather than enhancement, so you have to do some extrapolating and testing {shrug}.
yeah, i got it.

Hey Marina if you can, i would like to know the origin of the word disappointed.

You guys are a little quiet without me to stir up trouble?
Does anyone have anything interesting to talk about?
A word I have a lot of problem with is FREE.
What is your definition of Free?
My definition of Free; ….
Someone else pays for or gives something they own….
Is air free? Is sun light free? I say no, but what is it?
What is the English word for ” No cost ” ?

The English word for “no cost” is “what’s the catch?”.

I’d like to know the origin of the word “Cocktail”
My mother says all the time at about 5:30 “It’s Cocktail Hour”
thanks,
Ken
I don’t know why, but there is just something sexual about that word. COCKTAIL. :mrgreen:
Maybe it is named that because it sometimes comes after the drinking. Guys going out and grabbing some TAIL with their huge… :wink:
I was just joking around with that last post, but I took some time to think about it as its reference to time. Maybe it is some kind of rooster (cock) reference. When a COCK first notices the sunrise, its TAIL faces west where the sunsets, which is when people normally start drinking. I don’t know, it seems like a plausible guess. :idea:
I think your first answer is closest, seriously, but I really have no idea.
I though it would be an interesting word for Marina to research but
i guess not. It would be great if she did….. Your second one is very intelligent and thoughtfull….
Thanks, namath12, for your WORD REQUEST: “Cocktail”
Marina (or anyone else) is this true about mac??? http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=iEAGmBRC1dc
jup, I love that guy :grin: he’s so awsome:P
look. if mac was so great and pcs were so inferior or whatever, everyone would be using a mac. but the majority doesn’t. must be a reason for that.
you’ll always hear something like, “i bought a mac because i don’t get any viruses / malware.” but actually it’s rather, “i bought a mac because i don’t know how to protect my computer.”
there are macs that come with xp, i think. but, if you use xp on a mac — why did you buy a mac then?
you can do everything you do on a mac on a pc, too.
Thanks alx :mrgreen: . I don’t think sales has anything to do with one company being inferior/superior. Someone has to do better than the other. I also think it is because mac is quite expensive and you can only get mac on an apple computer, whereas Windows don’t make their own computers.. Others do.. like HP Packard Bell etc, so there is much more chance of sales, apple limits them exclusively to themselves :neutral: . I wish it was as simple as being able to do all I could on a pc.. But lately when I have made videos things look good then I publish it and it freezes midway, Windows can be VERY VERY irritating. I used to be a sworn windows lover.. Didn’t like mac at all but now.. I think out of wanting to try something different.. and desperation. i am buying one.
alx… You messed up a bit on the wanna play link you posted below….. XboX is made by microsoft :!: :!: :smile:
and?
all the information you need.
alright. if you hear a voice laughing because something doesn’t work and you can’t find another program … it’s me. hehe.
yeah, if you can’t handle a real computer and don’t know how to fix stuff, you’d better get a mac.
besides, what does not making their own computers have to do with anything? you don’t buy an operating system without a computer, do you? a person wants a computer. goes into a store. there are macs, there are pcs. you decide. most people in that situation get a pc. why? well, think about it.
but, if you got too much money and you think you need overpriced crap, go right ahead and buy one of those girly computers.
Its not that at all. I just am not going to be forced into downloading other stuff because windows is too stupid to do it.. I tried to look at some other stuff. But I didnt get on.. I think PC would be easier than mac to use. but i will get used to it.. I will use my pc and my mac.. And how the hell can a computer be girly :?:
i think if you take the situation purely on it’s own terms (i.e. what you do isn’t for a resume)
assuming that sw available on both machines is equally lucid (because this would be the priority – rather than the machine)
.. then the Mac/PC thing is entirely irrelevant. I think there’s a historical preference for Mac because in the past it specialized in video (and printing). … the days are gone when there was a technological benefit to using one or the other.
Plus .. current macs and pcs have oodles of processing power for the normal human being producing vids with fancy effects.
ie. on technological terms .. don’t matter one bit.
The real differences are in marketing.
coolness and elitism of the mac v. the everyman pc.
cool suave erm .. top macintosh guy v. evil gazillionaire Bill Gates,
etc.
James…. I was simply trying to make your life easier if you wanted to edit videos Macs are the easiest to work on.. but I am not going to bother defending my advice.. I am simply telling you what worked for me and basically every other person I have ever run into in Hollywood where they make a lot of movies. If you want to buck the system then use your pc.. and good luck.
:evil: I just typed out my comment and accidently closed the window :!:
I can’t remember what I typed now. So in a nutshell
I have already decided to buy a mac, and I can’t wait. Thanks for all your help and advice.
Ya James
It like a bicycle is easier to ride then a motorcycle.
It is slower and does less so there is less to go wrong.

If i might butt in and make a suggestion …
… what’s most important is your style, content, and presentation .. the technology is secondary, it’s only there as your platform … however, being of the male gender, you’re likely to be seduced by technology – so beware – go spartan with technology.
I would suggest get the software with the very minimal range of capabilities .. i.e. only sufficient to do the bare essentials .. do you can concentrate on what really matters .. ie. your presence, material, etc etc.
I go all over the place mijj. :lol: I can get on with about anything… I would say what technology I have bought in the last year.. But people would probably think I was bragging << thats not bragging by the way <<nor is that << or that << or that << or that << or that << or that << or that << or that << or that << or that << or that << or that << or that
oh .. i meant to add ..
.. in other words the Mac/PC thing is irrelevant – unless you’re planning to go into the vid production biz professionally, then i guess it’s relevant for the resume.
yeah, and if you do it professionally, you’ll need a fast computer. look at this:
Mac Pro
8 cores standard, up to 3.2 GHz
Start building your Mac Pro with our suggested configuration:
Two 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon “Harpertown” processors
2GB memory (800MHz DDR2 fully-buffered DIMM ECC)
ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT graphics with 256MB memory
320GB Serial ATA 3Gb/s 7200-rpm hard drive1
16x double-layer SuperDrive
$2,799.00
this is a complete rip-off.
When you add up the cost of your productivity going to zero while you remove the adware and viruses from your computer because your cousin used your computer for 5 minutes and clicked OK when the popup said (click here to view cute flash card) .. then the Mac is a bargain! (I’m just playing with you aLx :-) )
2 quad cores running at 3.2 ghz and a ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT :???:
leaving outh the ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT would sound less stupid
alright, i changed the configuration.

iWork ’08 preinstalled
Final Cut Express preinstalled

if i’d buy such expensive machine i’d put in 2 4870 X2′s in CrossFireX :lol: but now apple won’t let you do that :???:
But you can put in 32 gigs of ram :S weird….
do you need a raid card in a mac to put your hd’s in a raid confirguration? lol it costs 710 euros :lol:
a 1tb sata HD costs 360 euro’s wth!?!?! last time i checked a 1 tb HD was 100 euro’s in the computer store….
I just configured a mac pro that has just about the same specs as my pc altough I have a 24 inch display and this mac has a 23 inch display, in total the mac pro costs € 5.446,00 ….
my pc cost me a total of 700/800 (can’t really say exactly) euro’s :???: (took me a long time to get the cheapest hardware tough)

Bottom line James is for about $1000.00 more then a similarly equipped Dell, You can say you own a Mac. I think Marina will still like you aether way.
Dell does not have the iSight camera
iThink iKnow why.
You know, James .. maybe it’d be better if you did your vids as hand drawn animations synced to your voice.
I did think about doing that at on time but movie maker can’t handle anything that complicated right now.. Don’t you like my face then?
buying a mac because it has an “Isight” or because it doesn’t get any viruses is just the most stupidest reason -.-
the isight thing is like buying a specific really bad! car just because it has a cupholder or something :???:
I’v never had any trouble with viruses or popups or whatsoever wth are those anyway? :shock:
I ent got nuffin agin your face, James .. in fact
… you could use a photo of your face and cut out the chin and mouth part and animate that, Southpark Canadian style. … and you could have Marina as an animated photo cutout in there too .. get round those massive appearance fees she charges.
I don’t know how to do that :shock:
search on google “how to jibjab” or osmething like that ,you’ll get some tutorials on hwo to make the mouths move like that
yeh .. actually … there could be two modes for the characters face .. Talk, NoTalk.
The Talk part could have the lowerpart of the face animated according to a script.
If the animations in the Silly Canadian South Park style, then getting sync doesnt matter all that much.
actually .. i was thinking earlier .. if i wanted to upload music it’d help with sound quality if i could keep the image part of the bandwidth down, so a simple animation would be the best thing to do.
Adobe Flash does that kind of thing real easily.
.. cetp, of course :oops: it isn’t going to be as easy as pointing a camera and recording.
oh .. you’d have to find the synch points from the audio for the animation too ..
.. hmmmm

I use my hot tub most every day. It’s even more fun when it freezing outside! In fact it is used for both therapeutic and social purposes. I do use the term “hot tub,” however rather than Jacuzzi®.
Are Jacuzzis still popular, hell yea…. or atleast where i live, Wales.
Speaking of Wales reminds me that we have to walk our dog in a flooded field, that might give you a clue to how much rain we’ve had.

I understand the “derby” part, but where does “Soap Box” come from?
Its homemade car racing…what does soap have to do with it!? Haha.
Thank you so much! Loving you videos!
– Babydoll26 (Alicja Dzbanuszek)
When these things first started, the carts were literally made from wooden boxes that were used for shipping soap. After the the soap was delivered, kids would take the empty boxes and put wheels on them and coast them down hills.
Duh !…., Doesn’t anyone watch “The Little Rascals” anymore?
Where are people getting their information that gets them through life?
The good ole days are gone. There is nothing like that to show the younger generation how we grew up and what we played with. I mean in the dirt. Trucks and little cars, soap box cars. make go carts out of wood frames and push each other. Take three old bikes and make one. Carve out boats to play in a mud puddle. Climb trees and make a tree house, man I am getting old. I don’t feel it yet. I still like to play. But now the bigger the boys the bigger the toys.
Thanks, babydoll26, for your WORD REQUEST: “Soap Box Derby”
Hot tubs are seen in HOT HOT places like TX, but only during the spring or colder months–it’s fun to get that contrast when it’s in the 50s outside!!
I haven’t seen any here in Northern Cali, but that doesn’t mean they’re not around…I just don’t have the money to associate with millionares or even the upper middle class who could afford it.
I think they were a fad for people who could afford it in the 90s, then the fad began to fade :smile:

Oh .. and if anyone did check the “intelligent deployment of drums”, you might want to hear the actual recorded track:

and … seeing as i have this branch all to myself …

Hey mijj , what a coincidence. My neighbor is a drummer singer musician So Calif. As we were breaking down his drum set for his gig on Sunday, I mentioned Phil Collins and one of my favs – Coming in the air tonight.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=manxPVTLth8
And here is your simian buddies doing that version. :lol:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TApA1fyoSdk&feature=related
drums always mystified me .. just someone banging bits of stuff .. til, some time ago, i had a shot at messing with drums in FL studio (virtual music workstation thingy). It was excruciating trying to get something to sound human and natural rather than mechanical.
Since then i started paying attention to what they actually get upto and the kind of things that could be done. That “intelligent drum deployment” vid is chock full of inspiration.
Thanks for those links, karl. :)
I think i prefer my simian cousin’s version to the Collin’s one.
and to add to may almost, but not quite, solo percussion branch …

Hi, Marina. I have a very simple and “pithy” request. I’d like to know the origin of the term “sugar walls.”
Thanks a bunch,
Bonezilla
Bonezilla,
Interesting question! I was imagining a hut with walls made of
hulled-out sugar cane, or a house made of rock-candy.
Instead, all I could find was reference to the Sheena Easton 1984 song “sugar walls,” which was, according to the Urban dictionary: a complimentary term for a kickin vagina
Wikipedia agrees, adding only vaginal walls
Here’s the link to the video if you want to see it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiJElPRnz54
There you go: It’s more sexually-related slang, created by a popular culture guru :wink:
hey! .. my instinct leapt to that conclusion first time i saw this post.
Thanks for confirming it.
:)
Hi Marina,
The Jacuzzi has been very popular here above the 49th parallel for a long time. Swimming pools much less popular… too much… maintenance and heating costs.
One time I walked around the corner to find a married friend in the Jacuzzi with a girl with big boobs – no top on. (lucky guy LOL) I really shocked them and she was about to get up. My mind was instantly racing for a response. What to do – what to do??? I motioned with my hands for her not to get up… (although I was interested in seeing more)… I did a pirouette and said I sorry I must have the wrong address!! and left. Oh boy!
My friend and I have a phrase request. “Put your foot in your mouth”! Crazy!
We’ve been trying to figure this out for years, and we can’t find a solid answer anywhere, online or otherwise!! If someone can do it, we know you can!
I wouldn’t mind if Marina put her foot in my…OKAY, I WON”T GO THERE! :twisted:
That was bad. I didn’t cross the line, did I? Because I was just joking around. I have a bit of a bold, dark sense of humor. Sorry, if I caused any offense.
Yes jacuzzi’s are still popular. Also, I would like to request the word basketball and could you find the origin

YouTube converts uploaded vids to FLV format .. but says you can’t upload vids in FLV format.
Goddam stoopid YouTube.
but no!
… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube#Technical_notes says :
so .. according to wikipedia, youtube will accept FLV format uploads, but according to YouTube, they don’t.
Again I say: “Goddam stoopid YouTube”.

By the way, anyone who keeps a bunch of apes obviously can’t be showing any shrewdness :wink:
Guessing from how much it is for a mere pack of cigarettes, I’m guessing it would be a bloody murder (of crows :smile: ) to buy a pack of weasels, let alone a pack of bears :!: :!:

When I rebuild, its gonna have a new jacuzzi(r) with about 40 jets just for my FEET. :-)

–Cartload of chimpanzees
OR
–A shrewdness of apes? :razz:
See the GARGANTUAN list of animal-group names above if my question doesn’t make sense :razz:
Yes they are, but here people call them hot tubs. Which is weird, because a hot tub is just a tub of hot water with no jets or bubbles.
:mrgreen: I was going to post a comment but decided to go to the jacuzzi instead. Will I see you there?
where does the term “use your noodle” (aka: use your head) come from?
Thanks, general_wrath, for your PHRASE REQUEST: To “Use one’s Noodle” (to think)
Oh yeah!!, Jacuzzis are still popular, in fact I own one here at my place… The problem is that I live in Mexico, if you wanna see it any time just let me know and I promise it’ll be REALLY FUN!! :smile: :wink:
We put in a hot tub this year. I just got out, came to the computer, and here you are talking about Jacuzzis!
It felt good as we had been working around the house all day.
Oh yeah. Jacuzzi’s rock! Especially when you have a beautiful Russian blonde with you. I won’t tell anyone Marina – I promise it will be between you an me and no further……Oh. I just told everyone on your web site. Well, I still stand by my offer!
Send me an email and we’ll hook up! Did I mention that I’m Italian? I HAVE TO TRY, DAMN!
Hi there Marina,
..
I wanna ask for a word,
…
so surprised it hasn’t been cheekily asked for yet……
…
and it is…..
callipygian…..
yup, pretty much, and no, it’s not steatopygia or dasypygal either…..
just “callipygian”
thanks so much :>)
Don’t mean to make a perfect ass of myself, butt it has been requested. just not been seen around here in awhile… the request, that is.
Thanks, idmmbn, for your WORD REQUEST: “Callipygian”
dude, would you just cut the shit?
I’m not trying to be offensive… Captain Jack has requested that I do this for ease of searching through the words for requests. I’ll gladly ask him if he or Marina wants me to continue or change or stop. Thanks

Jacuzzi’s seem to be popular items in the new housing market in the area where I live. I dont own one and have only used a jacuzzi hottub maybe once or twice in my time. I do however have a jacuzzi water well pump in my water well. This pump is supposedly is manfactured by the Jacuzzi company.
It’s RileyMcArthur and I wanted to know the origin of the word: Pimp…
Thanks, rileymcarthur, for your WORD REQUEST: “Pimp”
Your camera might be bruised and needing a nice warm jacuzzi after that kick. No no!,don’t do it!,I was just kidding!
I work in new houses often but haven’t seen one with,or designed for, a jacuzzi lately,prolly been a few years.Older houses can be retrofitted so this info is no “tell all”.
[comedy break!! - Bill Bailey - Part Troll]
Marina, i have a word request can you do the word ZOMBIE

Jacuzzi is a trademarked name, but like Xerox, it has come into common use for any brand ( by the public ).
When using a public spa of any brand please be certain it is well maintained. By this I mean the water itself more than the also important mechanical parts. Spas should be checked at least every 2 hours for adequate Bromine ( more stable than Chlorine in the warmer water ) and pH levels. Untreated spas have been linked to outbreaks of Legionaires Disease. If the water is even a little green stay out. Trust me.
along with kleenex, polaroid, band-aid, q-tip, post-it, scotch tape, styrofoam, and, most recently, i-pod – all are brand names that have become commonly used…
good point on the health issue…for sure… :cool:
Did you see the photo of the green polar bears on some of the news web sites? Apparently due to algae!
You should have put ‘queue tip’ at the end of the line.
Hi, My name BJ or John if you will. I would like to know how did the phase (Bling, Bling) come about, and where did it originate from?
Thanks

It’s flashy jewelry http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bling
which started in Hip hop songs and is commonly worn by rappers and adolescent caucasian teenagers…(aka the gangstas and wanna-bes) http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bling+bling
Another product of popular culture, which is now made it to mainstream dictionaries (Mirriam Webster), is used in marketing strategies all over the internet, and Hip Hop/Rap songs :smile:
Isn’t creativity grand?
BJ?!….. For moment there, I thought you were implying something else to Marina. :mrgreen:
Thanks, john22, for your WORD REQUEST: “Bling Bling”
Marina, i was wondering if you could do the word obedience?? :smile:
Thanks, lilasian360, for your WORD REQUEST: “Obedience”

wow! ..

i see the seduction in her eyes…the languid torpor…molten desire…
and love purrin’ forth from ‘er throat…
or is that “dinner!”?… :cool:
it would be an honor to die for her nourishment, annudder.
any money down on your, um, abstinance abilities? I quess thinking of tigers will take your mind off it for awhile.
nah! .. they’re not seductive .. they look too weird.
the furry one has the bod you can climb onto and lose yourself in.
Pussycat, pussycat, I love you! Yes, I do!
that is just not a good Tom Jones mime…lol…
Just now watched the jaccuzzi vid. I tried to join in your vigil, but failed, While I was away, remembered who the tiger picture reminded me of…all exotic & smokey eyed, with a vulnerablity, betraying her power & grace, in a hostile environment, Sade, my favorite song of hers.
nice song, nice vid.
i’ve probably mentioned this before but i’ve worked with the somali population. thought i’d recommend some music. check out k’naan he’s good. his song what’s hard core challenges the practice of valuing violence to establish street cred, what is the price of establishing violence as a commodity, the collapse of a culture?. anyway, the somali culture has a rich oral tradition, they did not have a written language until the 70′s, most people could speak at least three languages. from their shores they have witnessed the ebbing and flowing of the worlds most powerful cultures since the time of the egyptians.
Let’s see. Patent #3297,025. Filed January 10, 1967. Nope. Not mine.
Of course, they’re popular! Like the celebrity hot tub party! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jdjv5ZwQcdQ

A Jacuzzi is just a Jucuzzi until Marina slips in. Then it becomes a HOT TUB.
Excellent observation :grin:
When you’re right, you are RIGHT :mrgreen:
Marina,
And as for your picture at time 0:16.
I’ll still pass. :sad: :sad: (Summer’s almost over)
I can wait a few more months. :razz: :razz:
HotForWords,
Not doubting your research but, I’m not sure “Jacuzzi” has it’s origin in baths. :???: :idea: :shock:
Jacuzzi is a company name.
I believe they made first water jet pumps.
They were used in shallow draft jet boats in Vietnam circa “Apocalypse Now”. :?: :?: :idea:
I think it’s more in line with jet boats and wave runners than hot tub baths. :idea:
Hope you won’t need the karate skills when we ace your trip to Las Vegas. :razz: :razz:

Maybe some karate attack dog training for Kobe :grin: :grin:
Hey Wetsuit as far as I can tell the Jucuzzi company has been around since 1915.
Company History:
A wholly owned subsidiary of U.S. Industries, Jacuzzi Inc. is the originator and world’s largest manufacturer of whirlpool baths, with which its name has become synonymous. Jacuzzi was founded in 1915 and remained a family owned and operated company until 1979 when it was bought by Kidde Inc.
wetsuit5, Jacuzzi made items for airplanes.. and I think they made the first small sized airplane for transporting mail.. or something like that.. then the head of the company made a whirlpool bath for his son who had Rheumatoid arthritis.. which is how the first Jacuzzi bath was made.. and the rest is history. I gave you the origin of the word Jacuzzi to describe hot tubs.. as most people don’t realize it is a brand name.
Just check out the Wikipedia article on Jacuzzi. It corroborates what Marina is saying.
Is Marina coming to fabulous Las Vegas? I’ve lived here since October 1995. Currently starting my second year of teaching First Grade. But I was a casino dealer for nine years, and have also worked for RV caravan and condo timeshare companies (one year apiece). Favorite activities? Rock scrambling and off-roading!
Are their one arm bandits in your classroom? Do you have a course for card counting? Does your classroom have overhead cameras to watch for cheaters?
Wow looks like someone can’t hold a job… :lol:
No, geronimo. None of that. But in math centers, we throw dice! :cool:
hahahaha…love the karate moves…they kick arse… :lol:
i’m sure jazuzzis are still popular…i’d have one, but i can’t see putting one in when i’m one this one lil’ ol’ well…
‘course, that’s one excuse…the other is i couldn’t afford one tile, let alone the whole jacuzzi… :oops:
but do invite me over when you get one… :cool:
краÑÐ¸Ð²ÐµÐ¹ÑˆÐ°Ñ Masrina, How could you possibly post a video while the 49er football gane is televised? Don’t you enjoy Americn football? Luckily, the commercial breaks are so long, I can catch up with your video and post a reply. For your homework, there usually is a Jacuzzi or similar water device at most hotels I use. I don’t go into publicly used swimming pools or jacuzzi baths anymore. I got a skin infection, once. I like to see you in your swimming suits, though! :-) Your Ð¼Ð½Ð¾Ð³Ð¾Ð´ÐµÐ»ÑŒÐ½Ð°Ñ student, seesixcm6
That’s why I was able to post three times and wait five more minutes. I was watching a movie and had my bot reloading my computer for me.
Yes, we’re watching football on TV! That’s why I mis-spelled Marina’s name, too! I guess things might be like this every Sunday until after the Superbowl! I’d still like to see Marina in her bikini bathing suit, or if we go to a private Jacuzzi, she wouldn’t need a bathing suit at all! :grin: seesixcm6
My ex-wife got one of those from the jacuzzi at a hotel we stayed at and the holtel REFUSED to pay for any doctor bills.
WORD REQUEST: SUBSCRIBE
:neutral: Man, I see a lot of people requesting this word. And it usually comes with the same answer:

thanks. that’s does make sense

And how do we pronounce-
“Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu”
Its probably a longest place name..
Waiting for your answer!!
Your obidient student ; :wink:

The name was shortened toTaumata. I don’t know how to pronounce the original name. If you want more info go here. Maybe Marina will post that word for you. :smile:

Hey yo!!
Thanks for the Wiki Help…. already had a research done b4 posting :idea: … i want to hear some one pronouncing the (long) word.
If you find them then let me know. That’s a heck of a name for a hill. Maybe you can get Marina to pronounce it for you. Good Luck :wink:

no!

I’ll give myself three days. Unless M does a vid in an overcoat and wearing a bag over her head – then i might give in.

Hello mijj, Maybe you just need a
break
or two
or three
maybe a little TV?
or a little more
TV
As much as I try to stay away from here I’m drawn back like there’s a little black hole forming here
whoops, I meant
here
no more breaks for me — i think i can handle the intoxication of M’s presence now i’ve realised if my brain sizzles, then i can skip the video. :) (she’s so good in those i could practically taste her.) .. though that means i’d probably lose marks if we’re examined. :(
not keen on the parade of bathing beauties – cattle market.
… the tech presenter girl is nice … :)
… if she could be in command and take lessons from M on charisma, she’d be a beaut. … and then after that, she may be ready to loosen a few of the buttons. :)
Now, why is it that seeing anyone attractive conjures up a comparison with M?
on the other hand .. i’m gushing about M again (creepy)! .. maybe it is time for another break.
Could you do the word banana ?
xD
Its kind of strange ! Its calld the same in greek too ! Μπανανα !
And pronounced the same ! (Μπ = b , α = a , ν = n)
Pleaseee !!
Probably coined by those crafty Portuguese ladies who then passed it on to the rest of the world by word of mouth.

Hello Capman911,
This show brought to mind an episode of “Home Improvement”.
Tim was adjusting the speed on his hot tub jets when his wife walked in and asked what he was doing to the tub. He said he was adjusting the speed of the jets to three speeds; low, medium and- who needs a man.
I think they are the last hotel we stayed in had two of them and 2 pools.
