Sorry to not see...but ...someone has worse pics than me...:rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
Oh yeah, my pics are definitely not the greatest. In my defense (not that it would change anything) but the lights were just coming on, it's at the back of the tank, the glass is dirty, and it's super bright so if I don't turn down the brightness all you see is a green blur....
Kinda like pictures of my Hulk Lepto. :thinking-face:

Something about it's nice to know that in this site there are some people that speak Spanish? No wait, there's no way you believe I speak Spanish, not even for a second?
Sort of lol very close. That I didn’t think I’d be speaking in Spanish to people here not specifically that there are people who do. And I didn’t think I’d be talking to you in Spanish not that you didn’t or did know. So very close lol

Tell me how you understand this question or how you learned (something like that)... Yes, I took classes, no my parents don't speak Spanish. I took Spanish off and on starting in like 5th grade.

Why do you need to know though??? It is unnecessary.
Just wanted to know if your parents taught you. It’s said there are people who do speak Spanish but refuse to teach their kids.

After testing my reading comprehension with that passage, I was a little surprised at how much I understood when checked with a translator. I had 4 years of Spanish class in high school a while ago, but that is all. ...I guess my mom taught migrant Spanish-speaking children years ago also, so she taught me some Spanish as well.
Many of my co-workers on the jobsites speak Spanish (few are also fluent in English), so it is good for me to at least be able to comprehend the gist of a written message! In no way can I communicate effectively while listening and trying to speak Spanish back, though!

...also, anyone else think we should start #ThreadfinThursday?

For the LONGEST time I couldn’t figure out how you kept the pan and bowl hung on the side full of food.
Super glue and coral putty.

The takeaway I got was that she was saying we're silly for speaking Spanish, French is where it's at. Right @OrchidMiss ?

I estimate she meant that she speaks some French sometimes but she is no good at Spanish.
Mind you, I've never really studied French, but there are enough similarities to English and Spanish that I can understand some words.

...and a translator confirms (close enough) my estimation!

Same goes with Italian.

I liked my answer better. I picture Suzi saying something along the line of "Silly boys, Spanish is for kids."

That’s when you wait for someone elses reaction to determine the appropriate one… in most cases ;)
