Brought to you by more than one century of feminist movement ;-) - bill1111, Nov 17, 2010

Vaanz: You do a great job everyday posting the photos, and I appreciate your hard work. Please don’t get mad at me, but smoking is not a good thing to show. - Rolest, Nov 17, 2010

You're welcome Vaanz! Maybe you can just pretend that he is scratching his mouth Rolest! - amykay, Nov 17, 2010

Sorry Vaanz, I apologize for my comment. It is just that I watched my mother die a slow horrible death slowly suffocating over a 4 year period with emphysema caused from smoking. - Rolest, Nov 17, 2010

It is a horrible way to die Rolest, I've had 2 grandparents and 1 uncle die from smoking. - amykay, Nov 17, 2010

Thanks for the support amykay. I hope a few people here at SD read my comment and your comment, and my answer to the thread, and make a decision to live. - Rolest, Nov 17, 2010

Oh... I'm so sorry Rolest.. I wont post any pics like that... - Vaanz, Nov 17, 2010

I found this very funny... Thats why, I posted it - Vaanz, Nov 17, 2010

Thanks Vaanz. It IS a very funny picture I agree! If only the man wasn’t smoking... (;- - Rolest, Nov 17, 2010

Answer 1

I love hard work , I can watch it all day.

Me encanta el trabajo duro, lo contemplo todo el día..

jajaja very funny ray :) - 00b6f46c, Nov 17, 2010

... lo contemplo todo el día. :) Dear Ray, good morning : - cogumela, Nov 17, 2010

Buenas días guapa y gracias mi amor. - ray76, Nov 17, 2010

But you can't mix 'puedo' and 'lo contemplo'. It's either 'Me encanta .. , puedo contemplarlo todo el día' ('I can watch it all day'), or 'Me encanta.. , lo contemplo todo el día ('I watch it all day') - bill1111, Nov 17, 2010

Great one Ray! - amykay, Nov 17, 2010

That's just what I was going to write....just far enough out to dump him once and for all! - Echoline, Nov 17, 2010

Oh no not again !! I better review the differences between ser & estar now ... thanks qfreed :) - 00b6f46c, Nov 17, 2010

Hi, Lovely! Welcome back! - sanlee, Nov 17, 2010

Welcome back lovely love i have missed you greatly. - ray76, Nov 17, 2010

I missed you too ray :) thanx a lot :) - 00b6f46c, Nov 17, 2010

Le estoy enseñando a ser una esposa útil, como yo. :) Hi, lovely! - cogumela, Nov 17, 2010

If it's the husband talking you can't use "como yo" as he could never be a wife, hehe. - Eddy, Nov 17, 2010

Or 'esposa' in Spanish. I guess in English you could say 'spose' instead? - bill1111, Nov 17, 2010

Hi cogumela ! & Thanks for the correction :)) - 00b6f46c, Nov 17, 2010

Well Eddy I'm sure he wishes to be a wife after all wives are much more helpful than husbands ;) jajaja - 00b6f46c, Nov 17, 2010

Answer 7

Don't look at me, she likes to row.

A mi no me mires, le encanta remar.

A mí no me mires, le encanta remar : ) - cogumela, Nov 17, 2010

Gracias. I knew there had to be better words but I couldn't figure out what they were. - Leatha, Nov 17, 2010

Answer 8

Could you open another beer for me dear?

¿Podrías abrir otra cerveza para mí querida?

mí , : ) Muy buena, Ian ! - cogumela, Nov 17, 2010

It's more common to use 'me' rather than 'para mí' in a sentence such as this one. Either '¿Podrías abrirme otra cerveza, querida? ' or '¿Me podrías abrir otra cerveza..' - bill1111, Nov 17, 2010

Answer 9

This reminds me of an old joke...

How did she get rid of 250 lbs. of unwanted fat? She divorced him.

¿Cómo se deshizo de 250 lbs. de grasa no deseada? Se divorció.

Funny! - Rolest, Nov 17, 2010

Se divorció ; ) Nice one - cogumela, Nov 17, 2010

Answer 10

¿Puede ser que alguien me explique el problema?

What's the problem here?

Your Spanish sentence seems more like an honest attempt to ask for an explanation than an ironic remark, because of the 'puede ser'. To say something similar to 'what's the problem? ', I'd say: ¿Qué problema hay?' or '¿Dónde está el problema?' - bill1111, Nov 17, 2010

It's like, "Uh, what's the problem?" jajajaVery good Eddy... - amykay, Nov 17, 2010

Thanks Billstpor, duly noted - Eddy, Nov 17, 2010

jajaja ! Muy buena, Eddy! - cogumela, Nov 17, 2010

Answer 11

Lo siento, pero ya estoy ocupado manteniendo levantada la parte delantera del bote para tí.

Sorry, but I'm already busy keeping the front of the boat lifted up for you.

'manteniendo levantada la parte delantera del bote.' - bill1111, Nov 17, 2010

Answer 12

Desearía que pusieran un gimnasio en nuestro lado del lago.

I wish they would put a gym on our side of the lake.

'Desearía (or 'Me gustaría') que pusieran un gimnasio.. ' - bill1111, Nov 17, 2010

Thank you for the correction!! - ronm192, Nov 17, 2010

Answer 13

Esto debe estar en Los Estados Unidos.

---

This must be in the United States.

debe ser : ) Hi, scot ! - cogumela, Nov 17, 2010

You mean because they named the boat after a handgun? :) - bill1111, Nov 17, 2010

Answer 14

¡No estoy gordo! Es el pack de 12 que tengo aquí en la barca para mi esposa!

I'm not fat! It's the "12 pack" of beer down here on the floor for my wife!

¡No estoy gordo! Es el pack de 12 que tengo aquí en la barca para mi esposa :) good one! - cogumela, Nov 17, 2010

Gracias Laura! - amykay, Nov 17, 2010

Answer 15

La asesoría matrimonial está al otro lado del lago. Pues, no tengo ni idea de por qué vamos allá.

The marriage counselor's office is on the other side of the lake. But, I don't have any idea why we are going there.

La asesoría matrimonial está al otro lado del lago, pero no tengo ni idea de por qué vamos allá. : ) Nice ! - cogumela, Nov 17, 2010
