For aches and pains, take raw garlic. Mince it, and drink it with a glass of liquid. - c41f84dfc9, Nov 7, 2009
But don't breath on anyone afterwards! - sheila-foster, Nov 7, 2009
jejeje... I´ve prepared a salad spiced with garlic for my husband´s birthday today :) - Issabela, Nov 7, 2009
The best thing for back pain is situps/crunches. I do 600 per day--sciatica is great motivation. - lorenzo9, Nov 7, 2009

Oops - I bet that should be "obscura" - sheila-foster, Nov 7, 2009
Or even 'obscuras', possibly? - Jespa, Nov 7, 2009
Probably! - sheila-foster, Nov 7, 2009
How about " me gusta el verano"? - 00515f39, Nov 7, 2009
Oh well - I tried! - sheila-foster, Nov 7, 2009

No le temerías si lleva ropa entonces? o.o - 003487d6, Nov 7, 2009
Un fantasma amaneció...probably wouldn't have scared him if the fantasma was a she. - 0068e2f4, Nov 7, 2009

"Amanecerá y veremos" is an expression we use a lot in Colombia, meaning that whatever you are promising I hope you can achieve it.

Did you mean to type "despierto"?

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

Please enlighten me (so to speak!).

je je - funny, Carlo! - aloshek, Nov 7, 2009
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. - 0068e2f4, Nov 7, 2009

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)

I was trying to say "a poem that I wrote in Spanglish" - did I conjugate it wrong? - aloshek, Nov 7, 2009
Este es un poema que escribí en Spanglish. - 0068e2f4, Nov 7, 2009
That's why it is always a good idea to write everything in both languages. - 0068e2f4, Nov 7, 2009
