<sigh>
I KNEW you were gonna say something like that! Ok, I really do need to learn Spanish, I just hated it when I was a kid because people would talk and I couldn't understand them. It made me mad, so I didn't want to learn to talk to them.... stupid, I know

I began in Portuguese at 14 and learned Spanish at 20.
My mother learns computers now and her older brother is studying Java and HTML. We are never too old to learn anything.

I could definitely use one, living in NM and all......... I can usually pronounce it, I can't spell it though, and I can't follow a conversation. Aren't you too old to learn a new language after 9? I'm way after 9....

Abuelita
I can never remember how to spell that.......this will be good practice, eh? I always wanted an Abuelita, our neighbors had one while I was growing up. I like you, you write with love. My actual grandma was 89 when she died and that was 11 years ago, that's why I figure you can't be old enough to be my grandma......I guess it's possible, but highly unlikely. She was stuffy and kind of a bitch. Don't get me wrong, I loved her a lot, but she had a mean streak that wouldn't quit, and was quite rigid in her thinking. My other grandma I didn't really know. I wish we had sailed to india :o)

desertsong, I asked because you said that I was too young to be your grandmother.
I wondered how WONDERFULLY, and incorrectly wrong you were. 36 perhaps??? Multiply that a few times and you'll be closer to the truth.
And, Everyone I know now in my life has passed up my real name, see I've forgotten that name already...now I am just Abuelita. Even my brothers and sisters call me that now. Been one so long.
So, you can call me grandma if you'd llike, but my name now is really Abuelita.

desertsong, and just how old is this grandma who is too young?
If you are going by my writing, I change ages and names and locations and circumstances in just about everything that I blog, Creative writing, using the HUGE "Artistic License" attached to the wall above my keyboard!

DREAH, I made this story up based upon stories heard from 40 yrs. of friendships
with women and some of the dialogue came from my own experiences.
As I said in a previous comment, it was a writing homework assignment for myself, to convey emotion using dialogue alone......
But, thanks for your concern for my safety.....

Grandma
You definitely conveyed emotion through your dialog! Well done. You are allowed to write down stuff if you want to. This is your space to do as you please. I love all the stuff you write.......and I hope you don't mind me calling you grandma, even though you are much to young to be my grandma. Tropical fruit huh? Spice.....

My only excuse missyj, is that I look for the tropical fruit
in the salad bowl of life. Not satisfied with the guy next door and all that I can guess about him (probably being wrong, too), I gather the exotic to me. The ones who 'taste different'. I finally stopped eating fruits.
Go to my Grandma's Tips on Dating and Marrying, if you haven't already been there, cut, paste, print and hang in front of the mirror where you dress to go out with men.....food for thought for the evening.

How is it
that strong, intellegent, creative women can end up with such assholes? What do these men bring to the women that they can not find in a more reasonable place? I had my own asshole with the same kind of mentality as this asshole - just manifested in different ways. Why did I think having children with him would be a good thing? I am still shaking my head.

Thanks undone. I had been afraid to write something sad as most of my blogs are upbeat.
I wanted to try to convey emotion using conversation only. A homework assignment for myself. I had thought myself poor at dialogue and wanted to see if I could improve it by actually putting pen to paper, er, fingers to keyboard.

It is sad.
