    the number 2, i missed the tok to ga okk thing in the morning, afternoon, evening...24 hrs.

    oh well the number 4...from teens to oldies

    the number 5....if we are out of town, the kids from school would greet my husband "hey joe". Hubby would answer back...'no i'm not a joe...i'm english.....kids would say 'yes joe we know english'

    the no. 6 it's always around in any occassion....volume on to the max

    the no. 8 .... oh yes...it's ok

    the no. 9 whispering here in there & everywhere.

    nice one terpe. It brings back memories.
    If you can't say something nice. SHUT UP!. Simple.

    You will very soon find yourself pointing with your lips and saying, "For a while?"

    I do know a lady who rides a solo motorcycle; you may see her picture right here.

    Most of her fellow citizens find her alarming, and assume that only a foreigner would take up with such a freak of nature. "She goes out in the sun and gets brown!!" The really good bit is that she also shops like a bloke - walks into SM or wherever, buys the first thing that fits the bill and walks out again in minutes, usually muttering "If we are going to have to wait for my ate let's go and find a drink!"
