Good to hear. |
Good for you. I had not a clue today, and nothing came to during the day.

Well played an excellent choice. |
I remember the incident that you refer to. To be honest I wasn’t posting seriously, I had no English language songs come do mind and I think that my opening comment acknowledges that I knew that I was ‘breaking the rules’ I was fully expecting to get some stick for posting the song from one or more people.
So thank you for making that point about your experience. I just saw my post as humorous I am sorry that was not clear enough. I would never post foreign language lyrics as a serious post. I am sorry if my post offended you. |

Mary in the morning - Elvis
