CONGRATULATIONS, YOU ARE OUR FEATURED MEMBER FOR MARCH!

That's not necessarily what I had said, Margarida, it's just that sometimes these online translators don't function all that well, and sometimes they translate the words but don't really convey the true meaning of the words in the phrase. It's not really your fault, so no apology is necessary. English may seem easier to you than Portuguese, but it's also a language in which it's easy to confuse the meaning of some phrases, especially when you throw in slang terms and phrases. Have a good day, Margarida.

We will meet in a place of love and peace.
Happy week!

NICE WEEKEND!

Hi, Margarida,

       No problem, and you don't have to feel sorry about being concerned. I didn't take your comment as though you had "charged" me anything (it sounds like a credit card company comment, the way you worded it, though). That's OK, English is a complicated language.

        Well, take care, and have a good weekend.

Bill

I quit all the sites except here, WM and the music site.  I just have no time to do the other sites justice.  I barely have time for these.

Happy Friday and a great weekend!
May be one of the best.

My silence? I guess you've not been checking my wall lately. I've just been terribly busy of late, is all it is. Happy New Year!

Bill

thank you for always being there, my friend

Hello Margarida, Thank you for the lovely Christmas and New Year's greetings. It's appreciated. Feliz Navidad y Ano Neuvo to you and your precious family and friends. Namaste. 

Hi Margarida. Thank you for your kind Xmas and New Year greetings. Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to you and your loved-ones. 

Feliz Natal Margarida

obrigada pelo seu BG que copiei

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I recently reviewed your earlier comments and caught more on your health issues. I'd only caught parts of it, I'm sorry to have to admit. Tonight marks my last dose of Mavyret, a medication for treating Hepatitis C. I hope it works, I've had it for just over 30 years. I've heard only good reports on its effectiveness, though.

I hope you can find something which helps with your (spinal?) column pain and the coughs. I suppose it shouldn't surprise me, as Brazil is just south of the equator and is largely jungle, thus rather moist. Hoping all is well for you. Blessings.

Bill

Dear Margarida,

Well, then, Happy "Natal" (even if we haven't gotten past Thanksgiving yet - wait, that's specific to the United States). Thanks for confirming "Dia das Bruxas" for me. As for the clarifying entries, I am simply interested in clear communications and accuracy. Being another programmer/coder, you can probably relate well to that. My primary work right now is actually in transportation as a shuttle driver, and I don't mind keeping any computer stuff I do as a hobby - IT work here in the states can be a bit on the neurotic side, and that would take a bit of explaining about the U.S. and its peculiar form of the I.T. field of work. Well, take care, and have a good evening.

Hi, Margarida,

"Dia das Bruxas", eh (did I spell it right?)? Good to know, thanks. I know, Halloween is a slang form of the term "All Hallows Eve". As for the witches, not all of them are evil, any more or less than any other way of life, sect, or creed would be. It all comes back to people and the choices we make. Some are inclined toward good, and others, not so much. Wicca (Latin for "way of the wise", as I understand it) has within it a "Wiccan Rede", which states "...an' ye harm none, do what ye will" (as rendered in Old English terms). Actually, Wicca might even be the world's "oldest" religion, or way of life. Please don't take that as any participation or lack on my part, I'm simply presenting my findings after my own preliminary examination of the matter over the past 10-15 years. Thanks for noticing that I generally incline toward being "good-hearted" and "sensitive", as well. Most haven't noticed over the decades. Well, take care, and enjoy your weekend.

Hi, Margarida,

Now that you mention it, you must mean the same weekend when I couldn't get on the site, either. Apparently they'd had to re-certify on the server site which handles the temple's Domain Name Service for the internet, so I'm sure all the site users would have had the same trouble. They had it back up after that weekend was over, though. Have a good weekend, Happy Halloween, and "Feliz Dia de los Muertos" (to render it in spanish, sorry - I don't know the equivalent Portuguese. You can tell me if you like).

Hi, Margarida,

I wish that your country had the resources which ours does to solve problems. Maybe it's the upside of being a younger country. Please don't ever think that I would be insensitive to anyone who cannot find the resources to get more done in a better way, because I am not insensitive. Lots of hugs back, and ciao for now.

Bill C.
