For aches and pains, take raw garlic. Mince it, and drink it with a glass of liquid. - Rex_W Nov 7
But don't breath on anyone afterwards! - sheila-foste Nov 7
jejeje... I´ve prepared a salad spiced with garlic for my husband´s birthday today :) - Issabela Nov 7
The best thing for back pain is situps/crunches. I do 600 per day--sciatica is great motivation. - lorenzo9 Nov 7

Esto es de una poema escribió en "Spanglish"

"nosotros estamos entrelazados como el amanecer

nosotros estamos entrelazados como el atardecer

noche y día, oscuridad y luz

I speak the words, and you are the truth"

(we are intertwined like the dawn

we are intertwined like the dusk

day and night, darkness and light

hablo las palabras, y tú eres la verdad)

"A amanecer, usaremos esto cofre de tesoro vacio como cebo para atrapar los piratas. Estaré buceo en la bahía y esconderé detrás un roca y señal cuando a caerá la red de pescar."


(At dawn, we will use this empty treasure chest as bait to catch the pirates. I will be skindiving in the bay and hide behind a rock and signal when to drop the fishing net.)

Did you mean to type "despierto"?

What you typed seems to mean "I woke up before sunrise everyday."

Please enlighten me (so to speak!).

It is obviously a typo. For it to be a word it would have to be either despierto or despertó (with the accent on the O) Mi madre me despertó enojada. DespertO is not a word. - robertico Nov 7
