And yet I met a fine young lady serving my wife and myself our dinner while apologetically stating she will learn English soon. I found that to be encouraging. One on one, the people I encounter are pretty interesting, seemingly hard working and eager to be self sufficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, perhaps social media was not ready for humanity. Perhaps it had no awareness of the real condition of the hearts of much of humanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't go hungry for lack of information on what I am ordering. As a side note, I had to pass the Alamo test in order to become approved by her for marriage. I think I clinched the deal when I had a Mariachi band play and sing at our dining table at San Antonio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's funny! Guess I came close myself. Seems when asked what classics I read over the summer Cannery Row and The Grapes Of Wrath was not the answer that would be appreciated. It was a downhill slide from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
