Three Little Indians
JKL
--------------------
When the new school year started the history teacher was so excited
because there were three little Indian boys in her class. She was
beside herself with excitement. So she asks the first little Indian
boy to stand up and tell the class what tribe he was from and how he
knows this.
The little boy stands up and proudly throws out his chest and takes
his fist and hits it on his chest. He says in a booming voice: "I am
a Cherokee. My father and I walked for many moons and one day my
father says son, you see all this land. This is Cherokee land. So, I
know I am a Cherokee". The teacher says: "Very good," and asks the
next little Indian boy to stand.
The little boy stands up and proudly throws out his chest, takes his
fist and hits it on his chest. He says in a booming voice: "I am a
Comanche. My father and I walked for many moons and one day my father
says: 'son, you see all this land. This is Comanche land.' So, I know
I am a Comanche". The teacher is growing more excited by the moment
and asks the last little Indian boy to stand up.
The little boy stands up and proudly throws out his chest, takes his
fist and hits it on his chest. He says in a booming voice: "I am a
Fuckawee". The teacher looks dumb founded. She says: "I don't think
there is any such tribe as the Fuckawee." The little boy says: "My
father and I walked for many days and many nights. And many nights
and many days. We ran out of water, but we kept walking. With no
rest, we were getting weary. Finally, one day my father stops and
with his hand to shield the sun from his eyes, looks around. He said:
'Hmm, where the Fuckawee'."

Hi,
If I've still got your attention, now that you know I recount ancient jokes,
let me tell you a little more about myself.
I hated regular school life and left as soon as I could, with no
qualifications.
Was a keen model-maker as a boy and got a job with a model-making company,
progressed through the company
and introduced CAD system to design models, became Chief Designer by 19,
then Operations Manager at 22, was head-hunted by another company and now
thoroughly miss modelmaking. Success seems to take me away from the things
I enjoy - I married young (17) but the marriage failed as I
was working too hard to make time for a home life.
Just moved into my new home. Looking to make new friends.

(Is JKL your real name by the way? Sorry! Just curious.)
I read your very interesting letter on the news group and decided to write
you. You seem nice and friendly. I liked your joke about the Three Little
Indians;) You say you want to meet girls in England, well I'm a Spanish girl
but I study English since I had 10 years, and I would like to practise my
English with a real British pen friend, so maybe, if you wanted we could
write each other sometimes, I would like this very much. Also, I will
probably go to the UK sometimes soon for some visiting. I have some friends
there, in London and also in Manchester. I love everything relationated with
England and the English! Except the English weather, I don't know how you
can live in all that fog. Is it really very cold?
Well, I will tell you a little about me, so that you can decide if you want
to write with me or not. I am 24, (some of my friends say I seem older) and
quite tall, 1m78, with nice long black hair. My friends say me that I am a
bit crazy but I don't think it's true. I enjoyed reading, listening music,
going out for walks in the mountain with my dog Toby (he is a "pastor
alemán", I don't know how to say this in English), meeting friends,
travelling... Before, I studied Tourism and last year I worked in a travel
agency. At the moment I work sometimes as a guide in Barcelona, to save
money for my English trip.
Anyway, I will not talk more about myself now. If you wish to write to me I
will be very happy. Also, if you want you can tell me the mistakes I make in
English, this will be good for me too, because my English is still very bad.
Well, that's all for now. I hope you will write to me and we can be good pen
friends.
Bye!

Your letter was charming and couldn't have come at a better time - I've had
an awful day (will tell you more soon) and receiving your words was like a
ray of sunshine coming to warm this cold and foggy land :-) I smile there
because I am teasing you gently - will explain in next letter.
I haven't time tonight to respond properly, but I wanted to let you know I
received your letter and am looking forward to sitting down and replying in
full just as soon as I can.
Until then,

Well! To say the true, I read your and think that I am really reading a
letter from a Catalan friend! You see, "Joel" is a Catalan name too. At
least, there was a boy in school with this name. He was a boy who liked
Heavy music and motos. His hair was longer than mine! I don't know where he
is now. Perhaps he plays in a band.

An awful day? I hope that tomorrow is not so awful, then. Here it is raining
a lot. This morning I must to go with a group of German tourists in
Barcelona who wanted to go to the "Sagrada Familia" (do you know it?) and
the "Museo Picasso". They said they did not belive that it can be so rained
as this in Barcelona. Actually, it was not a good day for me also. One of
the Germans (an old man) was a little "persistente". I have decided I don't
like very much Germany.
I am glad you smile there in the fog, anyway. :)

As promised, I am sitting down to respond properly to your delightful letter
which was the one bright spot in my day yesterday. Like I said on the
newsgroup, I just moved into my new home, so here I am sitting
perched on a box, the computer set up on another box, and the remains of a
microwave meal congealing on yet another box.... I *have* to get myself
organised!
Anyway, the original plan was that my brother would travel back to Bristol
after he'd helped me move in, but he and his wife had a terrible row over
the phone off and on all day Wednesday, which meant the move went a *lot*
slower than it should have done, and he ended up sleeping in my spare room
because she said she never wanted to see him again.
Thursday mornign I had a very important series of meetings set up at work -
I started this new job at the beginning of July and the previous chap was
extremely popular but didn't exactly have his finger on the pulse, and was
just letting things tick along until his retirement. (I am going to have my
work cut out trying to establish the kind of relationships I need to with my
staff as they were all devoted to the old guy.) Well, everything went wrong
practically from the time I got up Thursday morning. First of all I went
down to the kitchen to make some coffee and discovered that the previous
owners' cat had found its way back here and brought a mouse in with it
(there is still a cat-flap on the door, although I don't have any pets yet).
The mouse managed to escape and hid under the fridge. It took me ages to
catch the mouse, release it in the garden, catch the cat, put that in a box
and ring the owners to see what they wanted me to do with it.
Then I went to the fridge to get some milk for my coffee and breakfast, and
discovered my brother had used up the last of the milk. <mental note: find
out about doorstep deliveries> I don't feel entirely human until I have
eaten my Frosties!
Then I gave up on the idea of breakfast and went to grab a shower. The
water came out brackish brown and almost cold!
I gave up on the idea of a decent shower and had a quick wash then went to
find some clothes, and had a fruitless search for the suit I wanted to
wear.....
.... then the traffic was *terrible* and the journey took twice as long as I
had anticipated....
Well, I don't want to bore you by giving you the full catalogue of woe, but
suffice it to say that the day didn't get better until I found your response
waiting for me.
I want to respond to your words, but will have to cut it short just now -
must dash out to the supermarket to buy some milk ;-)
I don't know why I have agreed to this, but this weekend I am going with my
brother to Bristol to try and act as mediator between him and his wife, to
get them talking things through. Whilst I am there, I am going to visit an
exhibition of 'micro-sculptures' in Bath:
http://www.theimpossiblemicroworld.com/homefs.htm
<groans> My brother has asked to use the phone so I have to end here, and I
*still* haven't responded properly to your words. Will just say that your
English is excellent. I would hesitate to correct it as I enjoyed imagining
hearing how you would say it if you were speaking the words to me, and the
occasionally exotic turn of phrase was most endearing. Regarding Toby, I
think we would call him a German Shepherd.
Mónica, have a lovely weekend and I will talk to you again when I am back
home. I read your second letter, by the way
:-)

I have read your nice and delightful letter. Now, I am a little curious
about some things. Do you mind that I ask you questions? If you think that I
ask too many questions, you can say it to me, it's normal, the people say
often that I am too curious!... For example, why do you move into a new
home? Did you live with your family before? Here in Spain it's normal for
people to live with his family until they are quite old, or until they are
married. But in the UK I think it is different, or no? I don't know exactly
how old are you, I will do a guess and say about 30 or 35 years... (Excuse
me, I suppose this is not a polite question to ask!) Also, I read about your
previous chap and imagine that you work in a hospital, or something like
this. So, if previous chap did not find the pulse with the finger then I am
sure you are better than he. You will be extremely popular too. I don't know
why I think this, but I *think so!* :-)
I know it is difficult beginning in a new work, I had many problems in the
travel agency when I was new. I think it depends of the people that you are
working with.
How is the new home? Do you like it?
I think it is sad that you eat a congealing meal in your new house. If I was
there, I will prepare a nice Spanish meal for you. My favorite is "paella
valenciana", do you like it? I am a quite good cooker, only a little "lazy".
But I don't cook congealing foods. Also, I think I will cook nothing if
there is a mouse hid under the fridge :-( (I don't like very much mouses,
can you hear?:))
Also, I send you my wishes of good luck with your brother and his wife. If
we write more, I will tell you about the days when I try and act as mediator
also between my family. I have a great experience in this.
I am very happy that you have time to write me before your busy weekend...
In special because you must have (have you not?) a lot of letters from nice
English girls to answer. Will you see some friends when you go to Bath? I
have not gone to this place, but I have heard it. It is famous for some very
elegant roman baths that there is, is this true? I do not see the
'micro-sculptures' you show to me <groan>. I think that we have nothing like
this here in Spain. But I wonder, how will you see them if they are so
small?:)
Well, I think I have asked you too many questions and you will think "what a
nosy girl" (I don't know if this is correct). Excuse me if I am too much
questioning. Perhaps one day I will tell you why I am such a long time at
home and like to talk too much on the Internet. Oh yes! thank you for tell
me about the German Shepherd. Is true, not all the Germans are the same:):)
Well Joel, I go now to feed Toby and have a lovely weekend. And please
excuse me again for all my silly questions! You haven't to answer if you
don't like, you know?
A lot of best wishes,
Mónica

The good news is it is warm and sunny and there's no fog :-)
The bad news is that cat is here again (luckily he didn't bring a friend to
visit this time) and I can't get hold of the owners
Hope you have a good day - no pesky old Germans! (curious to know in what
way he pressed his attentions on you!)

PS German Shepherd dogs are sometimes called 'Alsatians' too.

Thank you for your understanding. Transvestism can be a complicated, fiddly
matter... even in a text medium where you don't actually have to worry about

No, no, I compared the interactions between Chloe and
Nunia with those between Chloe and Monica. And then
thought, hmmm maybe she was warned off Monica. It was
speculation based on the implication that you were
declaring yourself a second shoe and Chloe was declaring
herself a third shoe, but now you are saying she wasn't
privy?
Beyond accusing OB of being in the travel agency
wearing the skirt (or should that be Col. Mustard
in the Library with the Candlestick), it's all
facetious conspiracy theory on my part, anyway.
What do you expect when it's been hitting 317 Kelvin

bathwater)-- I'm housebound. ;p

I did not say I was a third shoe: I said something like "I hope you have
three feet", playing on the Three Little Indians title to confuse you,
after your wrote that "the second shoe dropped"!:) The game was all about
confusing, and having a giggle at who was confused, was it not..?;-)
Giggles, then!:)
As for the name "Niunia", it was actually one that was reminescent to me
of a long time ago gfriend of some poster, named "Nuria". When poeple lie,
they tend to keep some element of the truth, unable to completely invent.
So there I had doubts, in fact.
As for someone posting they'd be from Barcelona.....;-).

<sigh> It wasn't an insult, don't take it as one.
OB outed himself as the "text transvestite" (first shoe drops),
Toaster responded to my "headers" remark (second shoe drops and
time to start a conspiracy theory), then you posted that I need
three feet (I took that as a request by you to be included in
the conspiracy as the third shoe dropping).
If I have to explain these things they're no fun. ;)

I hope we're not about to return to the Bad Old Days of ASL when everybody
thought everybody was somebody else in disguise. :-) Just to clarify:
a) In the "Three Little Indians" thread, Monica is me, Joel is Toaster. The
letters were exchanged about a year and a half ago in a private
correspondence, as a kind of light-hearted literary exercise. It somehow
seemed like a good idea to post these letters during a quiet spot in ASL for
whatever entertainment value they may have. There are still quite a few to
go :-)
b) I am not Niunia. You'll just have to take my word on that. I am curious
as to why anyone might have thought I was. I'll have to read her posts to
find out. Has she got bushy eyebrows I wonder? Does she smoke like a
chimney? I can't wait to find out.
c) I have never worked in a Travel Agency. But yes, I have been known to
frequent such places, in my idle and dissipated youth. As for the question
of whether I wore a skirt during any of these visits, my lawyer has advised
me that I have a right to remain silent on that one. :-)
Hope this helps.
Oh well, back to manicuring my eyebrows...

Went through 18 months of many times a day explaining what I never even

I yet explained here today once more,if about soemthign else, hoping in
misunderstandings for real, simply, and no bad will.
I explained how my "Hope you have a third foot" was meant, and you from
there coudl clarify your thoughts and words and say where you were

Good will works if TWO try.

No one did. I just mentioned that it was actually funny, cause I never
suspected the Monica thing was in fact OB posing as a woman. I simply saw
it as a woman and a man having a rather hittign it off in the ng, if it
seemed to pop out of the total blues, and then do not tend to immiscate
myself into that.
See, soemoen asked himself howcome I answered you and not "Monica".
That was just why. I then said that funny thing was that I wondered seing
the forst post signed Niunia oif that woudl be a real person or OB posing
as a woman, because the name sounded like an ex gfriend of his from ages ago.
Freom there, he assumed I woudlo have assumed you;d be OB, where I did not.
I only said that it was funny as when i saw the name niunia in the
ehaders, the thought had crossed my mind, (not after), whiel the Monica
thing never made me wonder (save for when Barecelona was named) cause it
was a sort of exchange between only two posters, one supposedly male amnd
one supposedly female.
As for playign that, I used to play "Durchess and Duke" with that poster,
if in email, and all sortts of humourous things of the kind, where
exactly, I know he coudl do soemthign liek that, and yet never gave any
thought much to the Monica thing at all, while becasue I know him to be
anble of such humour role playing in email, I knew it coudl happen he
woudl do that on asl one day: where then knowign that, the forst glance at
the name Niunia made me wonder.
I hope he stopped assuming I assumed by now:). Some udnerstand fast when
you explain a long time. I can be one of those at times myself. But man,
all that explaining about soemthign I din do again, in the end:).
I sure hope as OB says that asl will not become a bunch of assumptiosn as
way back!!

Nah, you are followign inhis assuming-assuming, here. To my knowledge, no
oen ever mistook you for OB, if maybe he wishes LOL;-)

Assume and assume and prove your double assumptions and then prove your
assumptiosn wrong?
Deja vu all over again;-)
Hope the straightenign out your game is now over.
I woudl not want to carry explanatiosn on for soemthign I never did in the
forst palce one more time:)
Hope you can read better this time,OB?
In then end, by total coincidence, "Est bien pris qui "aurait pu prendre";-)
:):)
Ah, confusion and assuming others assume.
That nbeats flatly assuming, as it always wants to prove itself wrong in
double assumptions.
I sure hope you do without all that trouble:)

At first look I don't pay attention to eyebrows.
When a man feels good about his bushy eyebrows
it's ok and it's also ok when he feels good about
his no-bushy ones.(btw- I don't like when a woman
has a bushy eyebrows so I'm manicuring them).
The trick is to keep breathing... heh I pay attention

both men and women just walk in to get their hair
cut, the woman finished up my hair then picked up
electric clippers and asked "Do you want me to do
something with those eyebrows?" The puzzler was
that my eyebrows are nondescript.
I had one of those moments where you think to
yourself "I can't possibly have heard her correctly"
and said something like "Beg pardon?". And she
repeated it. I was so nonplussed by the mental
image of her shearing off my eyebrows that I could
only think to say "No" without investigating what
she had in mind.
I never went back there again. I wouldn't have
been able to relax for fear that the next time she
might take it upon herself to just do 'something'
without asking first. A person shouldn't have
to fear for the safety of their eyebrows while
getting a haircut.

I'm so glad you asked :-)
Last week on Three Little Indians ......
Joel explained that he pines for model-making, just moved into his new home
and is looking to make new friends. Mónica responded warmly from Spain
expressing her concerns over the English weather and his diet, and
introducing us to her dog Toby. Naturally touched by her concern, and
perhaps more than a little swayed by her status as a dog owner, Joel writes
back to reassure her about the weather and to tell her of a feline visit.
And now, without further ado.....

I arrived home late last night and was enchanted to read your letter. Thank
you :-)
I am glad that you ask questions - it makes me feel like you are interested
to get to know me and that we can have a good friendship :-) I look forward
to being able to answer your questions and telling you about my weekend, but
this morning I must get ready for work
(The cat is here again. I think you are right about that. It is very
dangerous for him/her (?) to keep crossing all the roads to get here. I
will talk to the owners tonight)

I had not even noticed the thread, as as I saw new names by headers and
clicked to see, it showed to me as two addressing each other particularly,
where then I'd check here or there later in the htread to see if it still
was two talking to each other; seing it was, I left it to that. At some
point, early on, I noticed a Barcelona comment, and to say the truth, I
just thought, simple me "Hm. Ob will either jump on that occasion or
recognize a pupil, and wanna hide maybe if so. Better wait and see what he
says. He said nada (as OB), and so I just forgot about the whole thing,
not even thinking "Ah-ha, this is Ob and this is Toaster!". Never crossed
my mind, as it turned out a Monica and a Joel seemed to hit it off out of
the blues, for the little I had seen, and addressing each other only.
Now, my cpomment about the name "niunia" and how I then wodnered: that was
meant as to show how I had not oen clue until I saw your own post that OB
and Toaster were posting as Monica and Joel, and yet, absolute;ly by
coincidence, the name Niunia that started to post at an approximate same
time, yet made me think ***as I saw the name in the header***, **before I
read the posts from Niunia** yet made me think of "Hm. Nuria? No, Niunia.
Heard that name soemwhere before, notin real life, online, someone saying
soemthign using that name...Coudl it have been OB? Soudns like Nuria to
me". And I then found funny, see that I had that thought seing the new
name "niunia" that day, knowign OB one tom play that way as to ewinkly
pulling legs for a laugh, say, whiel all that time eh was already dpoing
it and I never even noticed:):)
The reason why I did not answer Monica is as I said, intially thinking
better stay put in case that might be a pupil of OB by cincidence" and
also, seing "she" fast addressed a male poster in a sort of one on one way.
So no, as email probably had lots of ink about to let you know, I was not
privy to any of it. I do not correspond with either posters, if lost
emails can arrive every now and then.
So to se how big a thing it was made, with assumptiosn I woudl ahve
thought Niunia was OB all the time [I am easy to fool: I donlt even know
(nor really care to:)) how to check routing and addies, anwyay, and one
poster in here, neither of those two, will at times play that way making
me think he is any person at all in my ebox:)] and even read Niunia say
she too was amazed I woudl now have taken her for OB all that time (!!I was
not only unaware of Taoster and OB having posted as Monica and Joel,
but seeming not even aware of my own thoughts...??;-):)).
Meanwhile, as assumptiosn gave signs of wantign to go on then deny having
ever been made:), back at the ranch, I had one heck of a time with
frustration about peope having abrain and using it to assume and codnemn
and so on, in RL, on the phone, in email, and even watching twits on the
street invectivating each other and so on as if they had no brain to use,
had already f=gotten me discouraged about Mankind as a whole, where I was
tryign to have a break in asl, and grew tired just seing allll the
explanatiosn that this new assumption written from as if fact woudl bring
in my ebox. Yeah, it did. So after sepnding two days explaining things to
just about everyoen on earth about nothing, unexisting things, rtaking a
break here, tryign to amke humour and join the fun and confuse you:):)
thinking the othe two woudl get to play along, maybe, and you too, it
ended up with my thinking "Gawd all mighty...What the heck did I ever do
to see such a stupid thing I was not even aware of get to be "monte en
epingle" with such wild assumptiosn, now?? Not explaining again? I am dead
beat with explaining sittign at the puter all day sicne darn Thursday!!".
As I mentioend in a far past and in amore recent thread on logic, one can
not use logic to peove what doe snot exist. Assumptiosn then can bring a
hell of a bunch of confusion and explanation, create doubts about persons,
etc, etc. Heck, those of us who were here way back saw too closely how
easy affirmatiosn thrown about anythign lead to others assuming whatever
and staying stuck in that impass, how doubts created a mess.
After Thursday and Friday and Sat morning, as my post entitled sat morning
shows, I just coudl not envisage more explaining still oif things that
were not existing. D,r,a,i,n,e,d, and with an inerview to come for which I
ahve to to online work about a webiste, which si not my profession much at
all!L:)
And here I am, 3:18 A.M., once more hopign to God I never have to explain
nada again.
Might come as a surprise, but I often have a few persons in my ebox that
read here, and email me, being very deprressed, not hoping anymore. For
those, trust is a central issue, essential to hope. One assu,mption
creating doubts can have way more impact then than seesm to be suspected.
It can require tons of hours of work reassuring poeple, where they stay
bewarign again, afraid to trust and be hurt again, and many step backwards
it is then...Lots of work, wehre I then wonder what the use of it is then,
to make stesp forward only to see the work undergo such setbacks...
That si a bit a lot, when oen is drained from a heatwave, and tryign to
relax for a coming interview when their metabolism is going through the
roof...
There is so much more than ever meets the eye around this ng...Sometimes
poeple have no way to know what a bard word, a tension, etc, can mean to
quite a few...

I'll say! At least we managed to clear it out in no time, and corect the
assumptions on both sides. (Or so I assume LOL:)
There are some with which it is always impossible, no matter how I'd try.
I can not prove what does not exist is what it all comes down to, in those
cases...
Sorry once more for a long babble. Dead tired.

Have you tasted this? It is quite nice.

Following the advice of a self-help book I read recently, I now start each
day by looking in the shaving mirror and thinking "yeah. I feel great about
my eyebrows."
Will this do?

Well, as long as you don't shave them off altogether and then draw them back
on with pencil, which I understand some women do. Although I can see the
rationale behind this - greater control over one's facial expression. I
suppose it must be something to be able to get up in the morning and think
"hmm, what expression shall I wear today? Check diary... meeting at 11am
with a couple of uppity subordinates in the office... yes, I'll go for my
quizzical, sardonic, faintly supercilious look. Then at lunchtime, erase and
switch to Aggrieved Innocence for meeting with boss... then at 7 o'clock,
remember to rub out eyebrows and replace with Playfully Seductive in time
the dinner party." This is undoubtedly very practical, but some of us still
prefer the authenticity of real hair... :-)

For the benefit of latecomers to this thread who might be imagining a
scenario like the following:
"Make mine a martini ... shaken, not stirred," he told the barman; then,
imperceptibly shifting his chair closer, with a quizzical gleam in his eye,
he slipped his Smith and Weston back inside his jacket, gazed at Niunia
across the table and said "I think I'll call my fridge Algernon..."
well, it didn't happen like that. Honestly, it didn't.

Hello again!
What a surprise to wake up and find another nice letter, waiting for me! You
will have wrote it yesterday I think. Today is when you go to see your
brother, is this right? I hope that you will have a good journey. (but I
don't know how much you will travel. Do you live far from Bath?).

That's nice:)
> The bad news is that cat is here again (luckily he didn't bring a friend

Perhaps he likes you. If he stays more time, you will maybe have a "pet"
more fast than you wanted, no? :)
> Hope you have a good day - no pesky old Germans! (curious to know in what
> way he pressed his attentions on you!)
Presently I have not to go with any tourist groups. When the work agency
want me, they telephone.
I don't know how to say in English, in Spanish we say "era un pulpo" (he
was an octopus). You can also say "viejo verde". ( I suppose you don't say
"old green"? :) ) I can not find 'pesky' in my dictionary, but I suppose
that it is the same.

This is interesting. I think you will like Toby if you will know him. I
adopted this dog at an animal refuge that we have in my town. I think he was
abandoned on a highway in the holidays of summer. I don't know how some
people can do this, do you? Poor dog. :( But I think he is a happy dog now.
(Anyway, he eats a lot.)
Well, I will go now for to do some shopping. Without enthusiasm. Today, I
have strong headache.
Have a nice weekend!

I had to wipe my eyes after reading your letter, I was laughing so much!
"he now does not find his glasses, the poor man :-)" indeed. Hmph! (LOL).
The cat is a huge bundle of long grey and white fur - sometimes it is hard
to tell which way it is looking, never mind what sex it is. Seems to have a
very forgiving nature, though. Despite the fact I kept stuffing it in a box
last week, it is now curled up on my lap and purring. I sat here (still
perched on my boxes - but news on that score later) and switched the
computer on, and the cat sprang up on the box beside me, stretched out one
paw and rested it on my thigh, then looked up at me. I shuffled my bum
further back on the box to make more of a lap, and the cat climbed aboard.
I have to admit, I did try lifting its tail to see if I could tell whether
it's a boy or girl, but didn't get a good look. It sniffed at my
.....er...... 'lap', presumably for much the same purpose, then kneaded a
bit before finding a comfortable position to settle. I managed to ring the
owners from work today and spoke to the wife. Funnily enough, she made the
same suggestion you had come up with, and so we've agreed for the moment to
give it a week and see how things go. They brought round the cat's bowls
and cushion during the day and left them with my new neighbours. I had to
cut the call short this morning, but once I've finished writing to you, I'll
give them another ring and find out what its name is and so on.
>

With all the cat hairs everywhere, is is more like my suit wearing the cat!
Whilst I was on the phone about the cat, I brought up the subject of the
shower. It seems they never used the shower as they both preferred baths,
but they recommended a good plumber. I got my secretary to ring, and she
booked the plumber to come on Wednesday, so I have arranged to work from
home that day. Which means I shall have an opportunity to catch up with
answering your letters and to tell you about my weekend, to sort out my
clothes, and hopefully to assemble the desk and order a chair.
I am sorry to hear you are still suffering from a headache. Do you get them
often? Do you know what causes them? What sort of 'quiet' music do you
like to listen to?
I was wondering if you live alone, but I see that you live with your mother.
Is it just the two of you?
Well, reading about your lunch is making my mouth water so I shall go and
heat up my microwave supper. Doesn't have quite the same appeal as the idea
of you being here in my kitchen and cooking your paella valenciana, of
course ;-)
Hope your headache is better soon.

Heh! That site you posted the link for recently, the one about 'things my
girlfriend and I have argued about', was the funniest thing I have read in
ages. It was compulsive reading. Literally had me laughing out loud.
Thanks for posting that. Did you notice the colour of the guy's hair? Now
I'm imagining him sitting in your hairdresser's chair:
"Do you want me to do something with those eyebrows, sir? Everyone can see
you're not a natural pink"

Awww. Well, it still might, you know. Although I wouldn't advise whispering
where George is concerned - he's a bit deaf. You're better off just waving
the glass in the air when you want a refill. And as for feeling safe...
hmmm. Just out of curiosity, how old did you say you were? :)

So...Turning round to him again she noticed that he slipped his
Smith&Weston back inside his jacket. In a some strange way
she felt safe now.....Everything started a couple months ago, she
was celebrating her 27th birthday. It was here, the same place,
the same bar.Even those George's face with any expression..
She still remember that day...Those voices 'more vodka'....,
...'it isn't only wasze miejsce'...., and then - that shot...No, she
doesn't want to think about it now. There is no past, there is only
the present. She looked at him with a smile on her face wondering
'how old he might be now?' while George served him another
martini - as always - shaken, not stirred...

Does: 'now that's what I call straight talking' mean:
Yes! Now that's what I call straight talking
or
Oh no... Now that's what I call straight talking? ;-)
What are you trying to say by using 'yours place' and 'coal-mine'
and why in Polish? ;-)
is 'Umm' a polish or a english phrase here? ;-)
and another two questions to you-> what does it mean '(tr)'?
Is Smith&Weston a kind of gun or alcohol or something else
a bit more different? ;-))))))))))))))))

Suddenly, she heard a faint bleeping noise which seemed to come from his
shoe. "Damn it," he said, "can't Moneypenny leave me in peace for one
moment?" He bent down to unlace his shoe. The lace was knotted and difficult
to untie and the bleeping got louder as he struggled with it. "I'm sorry
about this," he murmured, "what with all the cutbacks in MI5, and Q on
vacation in Marbella, they couldn't afford to give me a radio watch this
time, it had to be the old radio shoe, 1949 model. You'd have thought
British Intelligence would have heard of mobile phones, but no... Dammit.
Sorry sorry sorry..." Finally the lace came undone and he quickly and deftly
extended the aerial from the toe of the shoe and held the shoe to his ear. A
moment later he sniffed suspiciously and decided to hold it a little further
away. "Moneypenny?" he grunted.
"This is Agent 009," came a voice from the cavernous depths of his Size 12
1/2. "Listen. We need you to go to Gliwice immediately. We've located the
headquarters of SPECTRE - they're based in a coal-mine on the outskirts of
the city. They're plotting to take over the world with some sort of hypnotic
drug blended in with vodka. Only you can stop them. We're relying on you,
007... Good luck."
"Damn," he repeated pointlessly, as the line went dead. "I'm sorry, I have
to leave you. Urgent business. Another dastardly scheme for world
domination. You'd have thought they'd have learnt by now. Oh well. Can you
get the drinks? I seem to have come out without my wallet... or rather, the
only one I have belches out poison gas and showers you with steel darts when
you open it. A flimsy excuse, I know... But, well, I'll make it up to you.
Be good." He dashed out, and was gone in a moment.
"Your shoe!" Niunia called out, picking it up from the table. "Wy
zapomnieliscie wasz but! You've forgotten your shoe!"
"Don't worry," said George, coming over to the table. "He's used to wearing
only one shoe. Standard MI5 training."
"Oh," she replied. "Tell me, I was just wondering. How old is he now?"
"Forty-one," said George.
"Oh, is that all?" replied Niunia in surprise. "He looked about fifty to
me..."

I tried running "umm" through the translator and it came back as "umm". I
guess it must be pretty well universal?

Today is a good day. Today I have time to do what I want to do, which is to
write to you, and answer your "important" questions.
;-)
I have had a most successful morning. I asked my neighbours (yes, they are
very nice - very talkative!) to put a note out for the milkman to call here,
which he duly did, so I will now have milk delivered to my doorstep every
morning. The plumber arrived early and has fixed the shower so that I can
use it, but also talked me into having a new shower fitted soon which will
have a bit more power to it. He has also given me the number of a
painter/decorator.
I have unpacked all my clothes (found my favourite suit!) and put them in
the wardrobe so it won't be such a scramble getting ready for work every
morning, and I have assembled my desk and been out and bought a new chair
(high-backed black leather - very comfortable and Pouschka definitely
approves).
Anyway, let me tell you about my weekend as promised, and then I shall
answer some of your questions.
Chris and I drove down to Bristol Friday night (roughly 100 miles - I live
in a village called Yateley in Surrey) and I had to smile once we left the
motorway as we hit a patch of fog, and I thought about you. It was the
first time I've seen fog since I came back from the Middle East. Anyway, we
made good time and Chris was home in time to read a bedtime story to his
youngest daughter. He has three: Katie (5), Alicia (12) and Faye (16 going
on 30) By the way, your English is excellent but I realise I may sometimes
use phrases which don't translate very well, such as that phrase 'going
on'...... normally we would say for example 16, going on 17, in other words
'nearly' 17 but when I say 16 going on 30 it is a way of saying she seems
mature for her age. She is already shrouded in the poise and mystery of
womankind. But I digress. Once the younger girls went to bed and Faye went
out, I sat down with Julie and Chris and asked them if there was something
special they had kept as a memento from their wedding day. They glanced at
each other then looked down, then after a moment or two of silence Julie
left the room. I raised an eyebrow at Chris to ask what was happening (was
afraid talks had broken down already!), and he explained Julie had gone to
get her wedding garter. So then I explained the idea was that they would
each have an opportunity to talk, and whilst the other person was talking,
they must be quiet and listen. Whoever was holding the garter was allowed
to speak, and they would have to ask to hold the garter when they wanted to
speak. (It was a technique I picked up when I went for marriage guidance
counselling myself, some years ago. I am not proud of the fact I had a
failed marriage behind me by the time I was your age). Then I got them
talking about things like what they had first been attracted to in the other
person when they met, what they had hoped for from marriage, what was
important to them ..... that sort of thing .... after a while they seemed to
be managing to talk to each other without yelling or interrupting, and I
left them talking and went to bed.
Saturday I took the girls into Bath to visit the Microworld museum and we
had a great day. My favourite micro sculptures were done by a Spanish
chap - Manuel Ussa - and he uses natural things as background, for example
he had sculpted this tiny horse standing on the head of an ant.
After the microworld museum, I took them for a hot chocolate and a cake,
then we watched a street artist. He was a bit of a comedian and his patter
drew a large crowd, and the finale of his act was to ride a 10 foot high
unicycle whilst juggling with three flaming torches - very spectacular!
Afterwards he invited everyone to throw some money in his umbrella, so I
gave the girls some money to put in and Faye asked for a pen and some paper,
scribbled something down and threw it in with the money. Alicia asked her
about it, and she admitted it was her e-mail address and phone number! I
asked her if he wasn't a bit old for her (he looked to be in his mid to late
twenties) but she just smiled one of those annoyingly enigmatic 'men! They
know nothing' smiles.
Of the three girls, Alicia seems to have been the one most affected by Chris
and Julie arguing all the time, and she seems a bit insecure. Katie held my
hand all the time, so Alicia did too. At bedtime Katie sat on my lap for a
bedtime story, so Alicia did too. She kept wriggling. I'm not sure how
innocent (or otherwise) 12 year old girls are these days. I pretended not
to notice. Katie and Alicia share a bedroom, and Katie had agreed to give
up her bed for me for the weekend and sleep in her old cot, but then she
changed her mind and asked if she could sleep with Uncle Joel. (Whilst
Chris and Julie have been arguing, one or other of them has been sharing her
bed rather than sleep with each other). Well, I didn't mind of course, but
I had no sooner got into bed late Saturday night than Alicia climbs in
beside me as well, slides her arms round my neck and kisses me. <gulp> I
did not know what to do - didn't want to make her feel rejected - was afraid
a careless word of rejection might leave her traumatised for the rest of her
life or something awful like that - so I sat up and picked up my mobile
phone (she asked me what I was doing and I told her I was setting the alarm
for the morning) and sent a text message to Chris' mobile saying 'help!'.
Only Chris didn't have his mobile on him - Faye did. She came into the
bedroom and said "Alicia!" in exasperated sisterly tones. With nothing more
said, Alicia went back to her own bed and stayed there. Phew! (sigh of
relief).
Sunday was fantastic weather. Cold, but clear and sunny. We all went for a
walk and climbed up the Cabot Tower. It has a brass plaque on each side
with arrows pointing to local landmarks and some arrows pointing to distant
landmarks, with the number of miles to each place. It pointed to Madrid
(770 miles). We waved in your general direction! (I told them I was
corresponding with a lovely Spanish Senorita with long black hair). All in
all it was a good weekend. Chris and Julie got through it without shouting
at each other.
Whilst I was there the family had their annual measuring session. They put
marks on a door post with their height every year, to see how the girls
grow. I told them your height so they marked it on the door post and made
me stand beside it - it felt very good to realise that we would be eye to
eye if you were wearing high heels :-)
And still I haven't answered your questions :-)
I will click on send now, and later this evening I will hope to write again.
Yours,
Joel

hair, wasn't there? I formed the impression as I read the story that his
dad's non-conformity had had a very positive effect on him, had in effect
given him permission to be free to be his own person, express his
individuality and develop his own unique world-view. There would be other
ways of looking at it, of course. I suppose ultimately the 'proof of the
pudding' will be what he does with his life as an adult, and the role he
forges for himself within society.

At this moment it is a bit hard for me to write, I think I will may be have
to write a short letter. We will have a visitor to the flat soon, I suppose.

I am thinking that you have a russian lady now, to live in your house and
sit in your chair. But no, this is not sure!!! Instead, you only have found
a name for your cat. (This is better) (for you)

This is very interesting. More questions:) Why did you go to the Middle
East? How long did you stay there? Will you go back there again? Or will you
now stay in England for ever?

Thank you for explain things for me. Alicia is a Spanish name too, you
know?:) I also like the name Faye (but I think I will not know how to say it
well). I don't have "womankind" in my dictionary, I suppose you mean that
she is a kind (small) woman? This is nice. Also, is your brother older than
you? he seems it. Anyway, I read this words, and I think "he (Joel) likes
children". Is it true?
But I digress. Once the younger girls went to bed and Faye went

I am now (again) curious... may be one day you will tell me about this
failed marriage, if you want? But anyway, you must not be shameful of it.
Because I will tell you then about my failed boyfriend (ex boyfriend)... I
can't talk about this now, but I will explain you in another letter, if you
like.

I have never heard the name "Manuel Ussa". Perhaps he is more famous there,
than here. (Or may be he goes to UK because the people here call him "Mona
Lisa"). Did you look at the scultures with a "lupa" (I don't know this
word - a looking glass?).

So, now you are afraid that in few years you must go to a wedding on a
unicycle? Oh no! This is terrible!! May be when you will have a daugter of
12 years, you will think she is going to marry one (or more) singer from
"back street boys" also? I can imagine. "Men! they know nothing". I think
this is very exactly! ;)
You should be happy that your neice has got a such good "criterio" (for her
years, I mean). A man with a unicycle - very good! And three flaming
torches - better! Really, he sounds me the "perfect" boyfriend.:) If you
discover his telephone number, you will send to me, please? (No, this is not
really:)) But in serious, if I tell you of the "nice" (horrible, old...) men
that I falled in love when I was 12, now I am thinking you will not like to
write with me again... :(

I am intrigued - you mentioned a visitor once before in a way which
suggested it was not a welcome prospect. Do you not like visitors in
general, or is it one in particular? (Of course I would not wish you to
answer this if to do so will make you unhappy).
> I am happy that all goes better with your new home!
Thank you. There is a lot to do here, and I hope in time you will give me
the benefit of your feminine wisdom when it comes to choosing colour
schemes....

<smiles> Yes, you are right of course. Pouschka is my furry lady friend,
who likes to leave evidence of her presence (finding long hairs on my
clothes).

My work took me to the Middle East. I was there four years. I would not
choose to go back there, although it is possible I will have to visit
occasionally. England would be my long-term choice to settle down, but the
company I work for is international and there will always be a call for me
to travel, as long as I stay with this company. As things stand at the
moment, I am ok about the travelling, but if my circumstances changed, I
would do a 're-think'.

I didn't know that - amazing how the Spanish influence is creeping into my
life from all directions ;-)
I also like the name Faye (but I think I will not know how to say it

Ummm, no, although it is a charming translation :-) It simply means 'like a

Yes, Chris is 38, but even so we are very good mates. I was bullied a lot

"muaa", eh? My goodness me, you have a word for everything. I'm not sure

indicate my nervous swallow as I wondered how to deal with an awkward
situation!

Mónica Candelas Gallardo
advice, like a sister, OK? Do you listen me, Joel? ...Good! You should NOT
send this photograph to any more girls. No, no! *Especially spanish girls.*
They will not like it, you know? If you like, you can send to me photographs
like this, I don't mind, because I am a very "spiritual" girl. For me, is
not important the aspect physic. I will not be angry:) But if you have other
penfriends, is better if you say "I am old man, with long grey beard and
parrot nose". This way, they will like you more. I "promise" you!
Well, I stop making joke now. :) Really, you are very handsome! But now, I
think about your internet telephone bill. If you send to other womens your
photograph, you will have too many answers. You will not have time to read
all they (very boring), and also, is expensive. I think (for you) is better
to send photografs to me only. Then, you will have more time for your cat
(and, for paint the walls in a better colour). Do you agree? Of course, I
think only for your cat :):)
Sorry, I am very terrible, isn't it? This is because I am a little
"nervous". I suppose that you will now think "what a silly girl". Really, I
am very very happy you send me this. But then I remember, that I must now
send you also a picture of me. Well, this is difficult for me because now, I
have no nice pictures:( After I send you this letter, I will try to find
one. Is this right? I hope so.
Well, now I will answer your delightful letter....

Thank you! Well, I have decided to go to your home and see if you look after
your cat correctly:) Also, if you are very very lucky I will perhaps prepare
for you a nice paella. (If you are not already a congealed man)

Well... Really, I think I am not well! Oh no! I am going to
(desmayarse)!......
> I am in packaging.
I look at the photograph again, very carefully, but I don't see this very
well. I think you must say the true: "I am in a towel". Or is this the same
thing, for you? :)
I know it is difficult beginning in a new work, I had many problems in the
travel agency when I was new. I think it depends of the people that you are
working with.
> How long were you with the travel agency? What made you decide to leave?
I was in this place for a year, more or less. I made very good friends
there, but then I had some "disagrees" with my boss. (May be I will tell you
more, another time.) But really, I left because of the other problems that I
had in this time. It is a bit hard for me to say about those things.... For
now, I will only tell you that my *EX* boyfriend is a "yonki" (he take and
also sells drogs). I did not know this when we started to go out together.
But I found out it later. :(
> <blushes> That was very crass of me. Hopefully I shall have the sense
not to make the same mistake with my

No, no! You must not think it is mistake! Do you want to know the true? Is
nice:) Only, you must then say "Do you like that I make for you a nice cup
of tea?". (Or something like this. )
> So, how are you today and how was your day? Were you leading any tours?
No, the agencia is very silent at this moment...
I will tell you about my day in another letter, I think. (Don't forget, I am
a little nervous yet:) )

P.D. Excuse my very bad English, will you? Is not so bad normally, but I

any photographs that I think you will like very much. But now I have found a
picture where I am like you, with towell! (except the towell is on my head).
This picture was take by my mother. It is not a nice picture, I think it
makes me seem more fat than really. Also, would be better with a cat (or my
dog), isn't it? But I send it to you anyway, because I know that you like
towells. :)
Mónica
[editor's note: owing to Netiquette strictures against binaries on
non-binary NGs, I'm not uploading this picture. If you are really that
curious, you might find something uncannily similar to Monica's picture if
you do a Web search on "Maribel Verdu", checking out pages in Spanish (I
think most of them are anyway) and looking for a photograph where said
actress is lying on a sunbed facing the camera with a pink towel on head and
feet in the air, sporting acres of cleavage and a sort of Art Deco ring with
an expensive-looking mineral inlaid in a rectangular bluish setting.
Alternatively, just imagine someone who is rather too pretty for their own
good. - Ed.]

Hola Joel! By certain, I had forgot to ask, do you speak Spanish? I think
that may be yes, because always you remember to write the "acento" on my

I will can explain some difficult things more easier.)
Well, I continue with my "good" english: Good morning, sir! Oh, no, he is

me too)

Well, this is good idea! I hope you will not be angry, if I tell that in
Spain, people make joke about English "colour schemes". In special, when we
see your Queen in the television, with her "wonderful" clothes... Oh! Now
you are a little angry with me. :( ...Well, but this is only a topic. I
think that probably, you will choose nice colours. But I will like to help
you with feminine wisdom, of course! :)

Oh yes! if she leaves hairs on the clothes, she is *very good* lady friend.
I think this "evidence" will be very interesting for your secretary! :)
Everyone will speak at work about your very hairy "amante"! Perhaps Puschka
will do a little scratch on your hand, too, this will make the life of your
secretary very more "interesting"... :)
(Now I am also wondering, where he found this name "Pouschka"? It sounds to
me russian?).

Thank you for explain (again). is it possible you will one day travel to

very beautiful.

This is so good. My brother is younger than me, but he defended me also, on
some times. Now, I do not see him so much (because he lives with Gemma, his
girlfriend, since a little time) but he is a very nice boy. You will like
him, I think.

I suppose that your wife wanted to have children, and you no? Perhaps you
thought that you were a little young? I think this is normal. But later, I
suppose you will like to have a son or daugter, may be....

Well, may be in next letter I will send you some picture (if I find it) of
two "handsome" men (for me, a lot of years ago). (This is for you to
ROTFLMAO some more) One is José Luis Perales (he is quite horrible, really!)
a Spanish singer. Another is Chico Buarque. Actually, now I think that his

words and to dream about a little! ........
Mónica Candelas Gallardo
not like this history very much, may be you will not want my femine wisdom
no more after I explain it :(:( but I will say the true. ...
First, I told in other letter that my ex boyfriend takes drugs. I knew him
in a party when I had 17 years. I liked very much he, so we began to go out
together. Then, I didn't knew that he was a "yonki" (a boy that takes drugs,
I think it is English word?). But later, I discover this. I become very
afraid, because some times he had a lot of money, so I know that he also
sell drugs (but he didn't told this to me). I think may be the police will
find him. I was very silly girl. I said nothing to my mother, but was a very
big problem, because after some months, he came and stealed some things in
my house (things of my mother, when he had not any money). I had a little
money (was thinking to buy a car) and I gave this money to him so he will
have a treatment, but he didn't do it. My mother fined things that were
"disappeared" and she was very angry with me (you will imagine). So, I will
not tell all the details. But it was quite a hard for me. When Sergi was
good, he was very nice, but when he had "problems", no... Well, then he
wanted me to stolen some money from my work (travel agent). I said no, but
he became very angry, and I was afraid. So, this is the reason I decide to
leave my work, I told to Sergi that they had "despedirme" (give to me the
sack?). Then a person that was friend of he, was died (of "sobredosis"). The
police ask questions to Sergi. They came also to my house, and talked with
me and my mother. All the neigbours knew this. My mother was very sad. Then,
Sergi spoke with another person from my work and knew that I was not
"despedida". He was very angry with me, and this is when we finished. Now he
is not my boyfriend, since a lot of time, but sometimes (not very often) he
come to my house and ask for money, or for staying a few hours (because the
police is looking for he). I don't want this, but I don't know what to do.
My mother says me that I must go to the police, but I don't want to do this.
All the neigbours think I am bad girl. They think that I am also taking
drugs (*NOT TRUE*). It is hard to live in this place. This is why I don't go
out, only to work in Barcelona (we live in a "barrio"). Also, if I have
normal work, every day, Sergi will know I have money and will be more
problems. (He doesn't know I do tourist guide). I will like to live in
another place, but now, I can't.
Well, this is the truthful about Mónica. If you will not write any more, I
will understand it. ...........

Oh, I agree wholeheartedly! Now that I have seen your photograph I realise
there must be an exclusivity about the exchange of photographs between us
.....
{unpeeling the pink towel.......}
.... you must *not* send your photograph to any other poor, unsuspecting
Englishmen....
{.....liberating long, black hair to cascade onto bare
shoulders ......}
..... or it will cause too many accidents on our roads ....
{..... breathing in the freshly-washed scent of
it ......}
..... and our 'gross national product' (or manufacturing output) would
suffer ...
{.... burying my face in it ......}
..... and our newspapers would be full of statistics about an unusual
increase in male heartbeats.
But I am immune, of course, so it is safe to send your photograph to me. I
didn't spend the day dreaming...
{.......studying the shape of
her foot, such a work of art .....}
...well, I woke up at the traffic lights, anyway, when the BMW behind me
sounded his horn.....
{..... mentally tracing the curve of her cheekbone .....}
.... and I *did* pay attention the second time my secretary gave me an
important message....
<smiles>
Mónica, you don't need me to tell you you are a beautiful lady (but I will
anyway, probably too many times a day, when you visit). I have read all
your letters (including the one about Sergi) and wanted to write quickly to
reassure you all is well between us. I will respond properly - hopefully
later on today, but now I have to go into work (although it is Saturday) -
yesterday I held a 'think tank' meeting - it went very well (will tell you
more soon) and afterwards I took everyone down the pub to celebrate. Now I
want to follow up quickly whilst everyone's enthusiasm is still high, and
must plan the 'planning' meeting! Then tonight Ted and Jilly (neighbours)
have invited me to a dinner party.
Yours,
Joel

Mónica, you need never apologise for your English. You make yourself
understood very well. I admire your skill at communicating in another

equivalent - does 'palabra ciego' mean anything to you?)

it's a great pleasure to know that you think about it that way ;-)
Have a nice Sunday ;-)

your translator doesn't know about it. I was very astonished:
coal-mine and "wasze" instead of "twoje" ;-)
