Birds and the Bees
The birds and the bees.. why the birds and the bees?
I got some dates wrong… Samuel Coleridge lived about 100 years earlier… but his poem didn’t use the actual phrase “birds and the bees”.. the 1939 date I was referring to was actually the first explicit use of the phrase “Birds and the Bees” which was in a Newspaper article at that time.
Well, that’s another one of my interpretations gone down the chute
I loved your singing Marina; it made feel all dreamy, like a big baby.
Hello Marina,
A newby w/ his 1st comment. I am definitely HOT for words! I have a couple of word requests:
1. pussycat – when one is referring to their furry pet;
2. cruciverbalist – a word game enthusiast, especially crosswords.
If I get to HOT for words, should I see a specialist/ Like a philologist
Thanks & Be Good, n1961
…I second your request and think I’m tooo HOT4words..
Cross Words Trailer…I live by croSS-words________holy-sh_t 
Agghh I think her psychedelic polka dot top has infected my brain. I could certainly stand to learn about the birds and the bees from Marina, or hotforprofits.
Marina please would you sing more songs you have a beautiful voice
I think I’ll use the ‘birds and the bees and the fleas’ metaphor instead now. Not sure what the flea does, but I’ll make something up.
PS Nice singing, Cole Porter songs suit you
I’ll probably be frank and leave them with piles of questions.
Or I’ll let the school do it…
You are the coolest!
Did you wind up rerecording the sound for this one? It looked like the lips didn’t quite match the words at times (That always bugs me when it happens on TV).
You are so sexy when you sing.
we used dolls when we told or kids about sex
PS: your still HOT
You mean like those blow up ones? That would have been pretty full on for a kid. One of my friends had a sheep shaped one of those, but the police took it. I’m not sure why.
Birds and the bees??? how about Marina teaching the birds and the bees. Certainly any normal 15 year old can relate to that!!
I’m requesting the word Craps, as in the dice game. Why is it called craps? Who came up with it? Why is it when you lose you say, “I craped out”.
How about the word Dice as well. What came first, the dice or the craps 
?
Hey guys new video is up.
I have been bad, I haven’t done my homework yet.
I would most likely do what was done to me. After a sex ed class, which was given after school so parents could attend, I would ask if they had any questions.
The classes were set up by age so you were not over loaded with to much info. They had the classes every year.
I had no trouble with your video.
Great video Marina you singing really captured my attention
Hello my dear teacher.
May I request the origin of the word “sardoodledom”. 
Who is AtheneWins
I have seen its name come up on several occasions. 
Hey Mike,
re down below: “…don’t want to see Marina go back to that style of dress just to draw a crowd.” .
I can’t disagree with you and your point is well taken. My view is this; I look at Marina’s eyes which sparkle with passion and speak volumes. All of the dresses Marina has worn have been classy and Marina’s persona is very classy. Since she is physically fit and well proportioned, I see nothing wrong with any of her dresses which all look gorgeous on her.
Some people can pull it off wearing low dresses more so than others. As long as it looks classy, I’m all for it. Cheap stuff is dime a dozen on the net, but a class act like Marina’s is a gem.
I whole handedly agree
Holy video views batman, the Birds&Bees video is gaining on the clown on page one of YT. Is this a record… in less than 24 hours the vid is on YT page 1 most viewed.
Marina is actually watching how some thumbnails do better than others. I would be interesting to see how the different images rate.
But what I don’t understand is AtheneWins videos get so many hits?
Uggggh, I don’t understand the Tanya vids count either. Must be a cheat someplace. I think Marina said some time ago that some cheat by placing a hundred embedded vids on MySpace and then hit refresh which jumps the count up significantly.
kinda weird yeah, 440k views and only 900 comments, all his vids are like that. But he does have 100k + subs. i duno, manipulating the views for every video takes a lot of time…and he’s got a new one every day. :S
I watched some of their programs and they are not as interesting as Marina’s. But there is one great big difference. I whole heartily hate to say this, is that Tanya shows more cleavage. Plus you get this comment in the left corner of the video that says click here to see Tanya nude. People will flock around a site if they think they will see boobs. Remember when Marina first started she showed some cleavage and then as her videos matured she started to wear non reveling clothing. I don’t want to see Marina go back to that style of dress just to draw a crowd. She has a very respectable video dress code now and I for one like just the amount of what I see. This is my assessment only and does not reflect the views of anyone else. If I am wrong then please feel free to tell me as for I will not take offense at anyones opinion. I think I have now out grown that phase of resentment towards anyone for their comments.
Mike
I see there is some kind of trick involved by exploiting a bug in the system. They need to do some kind of duplicate IP filtering.
Mike, I agree with your assessment of Marina’s dress code. She is now very well known and can make changes without losing her ranking. That said, I still would like to see something skimpy now an then. The teachers pet dedication is a good place to wear such an outfit. Though, I don’t know what would be appropriate for women in the student body? Maybe a clip of a handsome dressed man in uniform? Naw that can’t work. It has to come from thee Teacher. Humm…
Well, which YouTube site are you looking at? It’s still on page 2 on the UK and Canadian sites.
The US site.
That’s correct B, the Canadian site views are different.
I use the global site, Bob.
So what is the URL for the US site?
If I type in YouTube Usa in my address bar I get taken to the Canadian site and there’s no US site listed in the drop-down menu of alternative sites.
i think he means the global one
That’s correct Bob, there is no US flag selection. Here is what you need to do. You must clear both your cache and cookies, then go to youtube.com which is the global site as foxbow said. As soon as you select any country, the cookies are set for that country and getting back to the US site, means having to clear the cookies and cache.
Many thanks for that; now I’m on the same page as everyone else.
I was wondering how you were all seeing the newest vids before me.
In dutch the expression is: de bloemetjes en de bijtjes.
Translated it’s: de flowers and the bees.
Self explanatory if you ask me.
word dat überhaupt wel eens gebruikt in nederland :p ik heb het nog nooit gehoord
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Una3nSoqnkE
oh, ja ik wist wel dat het bestond maar heb er nog nooit iemand over horen praten, is volgens mij ook gewoon gejat uit het engels.
Wow you are hot !!!! Word request …. blowjob
How old are you?
The new hirez video came thru just fine. Could you add the “allowFullScreen” tag to your HTML? I’d like to try the hirez on full screen.
See “http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/full_screen_mode.html” for info.
Thnx, al
Marina, the embedded code on YouTube already includes the Allow FullScreen tag, so you could copy that code and then add the extras, like border, HQ, etc.
Or, if you just want to add the tag to the above video, you would add the following code before the closing object tag. Here is the code. I am using square brackets “[ ]” so this text box won’t mess with the presentation. Up above you would use the angle brackets “”
[param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"] [/param]
[/object] <– part of existing code
I wouldn’t use the birds and the bees method. That’s like telling them that babies come from storks. IT’S ALL LIES!!!
I would probally tell it like it is, when they reach around the age of 10. And I want to say to those who have kids and care what your kids get exposed to, keep your porn movies out of reach if you got them. You know they start to learn how to work a DVD/VCR player before they learn to read. Drawers, stands, under the bed or TV are not good hiding places. You gotta keep ‘em high and out of sight. When I was around the age of 4, my step-dad was careless leaving it lying around their bedroom. And I probally didn’t fully understood what I was watching, but I think I had enjoyed it. I don’t know, it was too long ago.
Damn, I lost power from the maintenance man working on the electrical box. I had a good paragraph written out.
I dislike the stork story. It a cop out if you ask me. I don’t like disinformation. It just teaches kids that lying is acceptable and common practice. Im not going to break out the porno tapes, but I would rather find a more truthful solution to teaching such a subject. I do think animals are a good example to start with when they are very young. When they are around 10 mental years old then they would get the full eduction. Notice I said mental age. Kids mature at different rates. I go by what I would believe they can handle, mentally. To many people make dissension based on physical age.
Thank you for the video… I always wondered about the origins of this expression “the birds and the bees”. For my word request
, I would like to know the origin of the expression “blackball” (e.g. To blackball a proposal). Thank you!
Homework: Humm good question. Well it would depend on their mental age when the subject comes up. In Sea Scouts, the boys are aways bringing up the subject. I keep finding myself wanting to take notes!
You wouldn’t believe the stories I have heard.
I would hate to use such a cliché if they where my own kids. I believe there is aways a better way to teach kids. Had not really put much thought into it since i don’t have any of my own. I might have just to send them to their mother and see what she says. That would be the safes bet in a pinch. Don’t want to get into trouble saying the wrong thing or worst yet pulling out a porno movie. LOL.
Hey, Jack,
It’s a bit off topic , but I’ve just seen “Mad Jack” on the news; deadliest catch? I wouldn’t like to think how many offspring this fella has been responsible for.
Damn, forgot the link:- Man Jack
Sigh! Mad Jack.
Oh you haven’t seen a
Mad Jack 
yet. Just keep that up buddy! 
Tnk for the link bud!
Hey guys,
Reading by today and noticed that
everyone is being very nice.
I had a thought, If there was just a place
for the minions to talk and bitch without
hurting Marinas site. Right,
Maybe an old video?
“Assassin” has less the 20 comments,
and has a good name for a club house.
Come by for updates and bitching.
Hi RRR could to hear from you
Hey roadrunrnch!
Hi RRR, Your suggestion has been brought up with other students before. Im not yet convinced if it would be a benefit or not. I do know on thing for sure is we should not use an old video posting. Because people still go back and review old lessons. It might be best to host a page like that on a off site blogging page. Do I think this type of page would be healthy for those who participate? Probably not. Would I myself visit and comment? I just might. Like you I would rather see people blow of steam elsewhere that is not in the classroom. We should try really hard not to disrupt class because there are more people now visiting the site than ever. Especially younger and more sensitive people.
Talk to Miss M about that. We talked about that the other day somewhere we can go and vent instead of doing it here. She can fix it so the comments don’t show up on the column on the right.
Whats up buddy!!
Request:.Hungry as a wolf. / голодный как волк…
A lion or a bear would be even better choices. But around the world people use this expression. Or maybe “I’m so hungry, I could eat a horse”(/an ox)
Why are wolfs supposed to be more hungry then any other member of the animal kingdom?! One really overweight man, could eat far more than any normal sized wolf!
Do you think it’s related to some past events? Or did it just catch on from one folk to another, like many more expressions now out there?
A great bit on pollination is on the old show QUARK, viewable on youtube as “Quark 70′3 sitcom part 2″ . Quark’s crewman Ficas is attempting to explain to Princess Libido how Vegatons pollinate. Ross Martin as the emporor steals the show. The good part starts at about minute 7:00.
marina,QWERTY,why did they put these letters on the keyboard/typwriter so they would spell QWERTY?
It’s because of the speed of the fingers when the typing-machine was invented. The speediest fingers were used on the most frequent letters of the english alphabet : QUERTY is okay for English but for French we have AZERTY because French has not the same vocabulary and the frequence of letters is not the same depending on every language. Today of course the speed of the fingers is still very important for those who use all their fingers for typing. (that’s not my case
)
The QWERTY keyboard was invented in the early 1870s by Christopher Sholes, a newspaper editor. The problem with early typewriter machines it that when you type really fast the hammers that make the letter would jam up. My dad would get very angry with me every time I jammed up his typewriter. So Mr. Sholes found an arrangement that would slow us down. Most common used letters on the left hand and above or below the home row keys.
Dvorak keyboard layout was to replace the Qwerty keyboard.
Dvorak patented his keyboard layout in 1936 by Dr. August Dvorak, an educational psychologist and professor of education at the University of Washington in Seattle, and William Dealey as an alternative to the more common QWERTY layout.
It has also been called the Simplified Keyboard or American Simplified Keyboard but is commonly known as the Dvorak keyboard or Dvorak layout. I myself had taught myself how to use this keyboard layout and its very efficient. all your vowels are on the home row. Its rather easy to learn how to use. But unfortunately everyone kept with the old style because it was a standard at the time and no one wanted to make the switch.
Just look at the US is still using the Imperial measurement system when the rest of the world is using Metric system of measurement. People don’t like change. Weird hu?
Snap!
I know professional writers who STILL use the old manual machines. They have even becomes experts at repairing them themselves & having parts manufactured etc. The Muse is a strange thing to mess with and even though they may have computers when they ‘write’ they use their old machines.
My dad used to be a newspaper reporter for the Yakima Herald Republic. He did mostly Nascar and late model sportsman races. My dads wrists where so strong from typing on the old machines, we would hang on his hand and he could lift us up off the ground with his wrists.
I remember the pressure setting lever on his typewriter. He had it cranked all the way up to its highest level, and still he wished for a harder key pressure.
Also typewriter sales men could demonstrate how easy they were to use by quickly tyoing out TYPEWRITER, because all of those letters are on the top row.
Actually, it was not the speed of the fingers but the slowness of them which was the deciding factor. The first typewriters were mechanical devices, which had the letters on the end of metal arms arranged in a semi-circle, so they would all hit the paper at the same point. If you typed too fast, the letter arms could arrive at the same point simultaneously and jamb together.
The qwerty keyboard was devised to limit the speed of typing so that this would happen less often.
so good that our keyboards are qwerty also, I wouldn’t want my keys to get jammed together. The way I type, you never know.
as you can see I’m not a good typeist should be typing out not tyoing out
I have a word request. What is the origin of the word romantic? and what does it have to do with Romans if any?
all good here with downloads and quality
M, given the musical theme (thinking you should do some songs on a CD; soothing voice you have), being so many songs equates to even more words/ lyrics, could have homework or guess the tune lessons which could be alot of fun. Everyone has a song in them too, could make for HFW’s X-factor!!!!
I’m always humming or singing a song to much annoyance of others but music can at times, say it all, all be it on a blue day or a happy one…..
Anyhoo, i’m having a Bill Withers Lovely day as sunny and warm, Better than ain’t no sunshine……
Ahh, got me going now…….don’t know much about History
my original country is Jordan and we have saying :
{{ IF YOUR LOVER HONEY DON’T LICK ALL of it }}
sorry maybe there is no relation but the bees made me remember this
Do yo mean “If you love her honey” or ” If you love honey” Your sentence doesn’t make sense.
hm.. maybe it refers to the fact that bees need honey to eat also, so if you take it all away every time, then you will have no more bees. That’s my guess..
the birds and the bees ,ive heard about it.but in our country we say the flowers and the bees because it rymes better in our language we say
“de bloemetjes en de bijtjes”
i cant remember my parents telling me about any flowers and bees
so i think i already understood before they even started mentioning it.
besides we got great schools.i think thats were i got it first.
Just call The Godfather! _ I explained to Joseph and William about the birds and the bees, as mum and dad were suddenly too busy to hang around for this topic. I told them about fishes and how they, do it, this was a good one for leading upto us humans….only we didnt get that far as both of the G-Sibs were cracking up laughing to my hand puppet models, got as far as ‘ the man gets a tent pole in his trousers’ whilst the lady lays there doing her nails waiting for the peg to be put in…..it really was awkaward, but they understood what was meant, kids are not stupid, they just know it is not easy for us elders to explain, correctly……..the lesson lasted only a few minuites
then all forgotten with a kick about with the football, thats football, not soccer!! 
The main thing i guess is that they understood that the birds and the bees happens between two people who really love each other and want to be with each other forever. So now Joseph is deciding on which one of his many girlfriends he is going to be with and he’s not letting go any secrets on how to ‘pull’, which doesnt help me, and he knows that too. Why would anyone want kids, they can be so mean 
Rather then letting your curious kid google something that he doesen’t know, “sex” for example, you might as well just tell him the whole deal.. one topic at a time. If he/she is really interested and actually wants to know, then he/she will listen to you. I’d much rather have a serious talk with a child than let him google the word sex.
I mean that wouldn’t go to well. He will find out, of course, but at what price. porn is hardly linked to reproduction. 
) Do you agree?!
Anyway, if you don’t have the guts to deal with your own kid’s education, then where do you hope he will get it from… school?! Just hand him the 10th grade anatomy text book, and say: “Here! Read this Junior!” Generically speaking of course. (I wasn’t referring to your situation
Hi Chemikal, thanks for your words. Yes! I agree with you 100%
let me know your thoughts and thanks again, Matt
Thankfully, my Godchildren already know what happens regarding the birds and the beez due to their parents and I teaching them all about it. I use a wonderful Human Anatomey and Physiology book illustrated with beautiful pictures and words. The very book I used at college ten years or so ago when doing an access to science course. Altough in more detail than the usual ‘younger age’ books, they grasp it with zeal. They think porn is stupid, or thats what they say. They do however understand that sex is between two people who really love each other, who want to spend the rest of their lives together, be best friends with that person and even die for each other. Their parents are excellent roll models in this regard. I just add churlish humor to make light of, pretty much everything to be honest, as learning therefore becomes more enjoyable for them. Fun! Besides, they teach me a great deal also when they have no worries about asking any number of questions. So porn to them is of no interest but why would it be when they are so imaginative and bright with a zillion better things to know and do about. One day chemikal, hope to have my own children and bring them up in a loveing home, I may have a different perspective by then but I hope I can teach them as I do my Godchildren and better so. As long as they are safe from harm and we elders can keep an eye on them and for us to be their no matter what the situation all should be peachy
If Kiss’s where rain drops i would send you showers.
If a Smile was water i would send you the sea .
If Love was a person i would send you me …….
the word ….Love …..its such a strong word ……it can discribe….alot of things ….with other words with it……oxoxoxoxoxo
i would explain that we as humans make love not sex becouse sex spreads rumers and desease but luve you make with one person and when you are old enough you will feel love for some one and you will under stand what to do and not to be permiscuas
Hi Marina,
I have a Word Request: Amateur
unrelated question: What is the difference between philology and linguistics?
There was a song called “The Birds and the Bees” that was popular in the 60s. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfa0Nk3h_qc It starts:
Let me tell you ’bout the birds and the bees
And the flowers and the trees
And the moon up above
And a thing called love…
Take care, Phil
Excellent link.
I was thinking of that song while running.
If little Suzy asks, I’d describe the relationship of the Earth’s mantle… to the atmosphere…to the single cell bacteria that started generating oxygen so we could evolve! Voila! LIFE! It’s the Gaia theory of life
Gee, teacher, since you’re Marina, Earth mother and all
(yea right, bouncing down Melrose in LA) would you please do a story on the longest word in the English language (describing a bit of the above, with volcanoes)
pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis
I’d LOVE to hear the syls trip over your Slavic tongue
I think that the actual longest word is the full scientific chemical name of Titin it is supposed to be 189,819 letters long. Some linguists consider it to be a chemical verbal formulae rather than an English word.
It’s still pretty impressive.
Joke: Dad’s driving his twin boy and girl to kindergarten and the little boy says “Dad, where did we come from?” and the girl says “Yeah, you’re suppose to tell us.” So, he sighs thinking ‘this is much earlier than I ever expected’ but goes into a long detailed description including arousal, penetration…everything. Finally, as they pull-up to the school he finishes, turns around to see both their eyes wide open, mouths open and they’re staring at each other in silence, and he says “Well, does that explain everything?” and the little boys says “I-guess-so…it’s just that Billy says he’s from Cleveland & we wanted to know where we come from…”
That’s funny… reminds me of a South Park episode where the parents think that the kids got their hands on an adult tape and go into the whole explanation.. of EVERYTHING.. not realizing that the kids hadn’t watched it!
That was one of my favorites.
A little chick hatches from an egg and says “I’m a human”
The mother hen said ” your not a human, your a chicken”
The chick said ” where did I come from?”
The hen said “you were hatched from an egg.” He said
“Where did the egg come from?
She said “I laid it”
He said “do humans lay”
She said ” some do, others are chicken”
Clicking on the ( eternally loading ) image above sent me to youtube where it played flawlessly. Up above the image is still loading. Not a complaint, but a data point.
My favorite reference to the birds and the bees is the joke where a little boy asks Dad about the birds and the bees. “Remember what you saw your sister and her boyfriend where doing in the living room last week? The birds and the bees do that too.”
Kids not in picture yet…but when it’s time for the ‘facts of life’ I’ll just have them plug a lamp cord into a wall socket & ask “Got it? Good now don’t do it until your ready.” The rest their mother can explain.
if my children ask how they were born, i would tell them ” if you want to know the answer, then study hard and soon you will know the answer.”
Your kids will ask and expect you to give them the answer, (after googleing “the birds and the bees”) they will say this: “If you know the answer, please write it in the comments below.” Just to freak you out! =)
=)
And then in a soft warm echoing voice, you will hear a subliminal message: “Please subscribe…”
Kids are not patient. They will get the information, (Mis-information) from their equally ignorant friends.
another acceptable origin for the phrase, from Wikipedia:
The full title of the work is: Birds and bees and other studies in nature, published in 1896.
video worked fine…
Great research!
Marina sang just like my 1-4 grades teacher used to sing to us. Nice flashback. She sang nicely too, and never used an instrumental background, cause we had a cheap school.
)
Here’s another fun “Birds & The Bees” song.
great vid
I forgot about that video. One of my favorites!!!!!
when would be a good age for the sex ed talk? Cause when we finally decide to do it, the toddlers will probably know as much as we do.
It’s awesome that you were brave enough to sing. You must have heaps of ego points stored up to keep putting yourself out there.
Hi! I would like to ask where does the word swingle/swingles come from
The Swingle Singers, an a capella folksinging group from the late 50s/early 60s first coined the term, I believe.
1812 one of my favorites
Oh you sing to us so cutely Teach!
As for teaching children, it is only the more Victorian mindset that keeps us from being open (and bashful) about sharing honest information about our bodies and their functions for reproduction. I would use the examples of animals as children would most likely be exposed to this behavior “in the wild,” but mentioning this adult process in humans too. Early information and concerns is best provided when discussing both sex and love.
I do have a problem with the video. Its not the time it takes for the video to download. I only have 1.5 mbs down. But my stock video card on this computer sucks. The video is a bit more jerky and lips are out of sync. But I would not change a thing because of me. Im getting a new computer soon and will be fine with the HQ mode. I guess it will put the computer purchase at a higher level of yet another thing to by.
….I don’t think you need a videocard to watch yt videos :S I can play hq video’s on a 10 year old dell….with an onboard videocard (not my pc
)
Im running a first version mac mini with onboard video. It was not designed to run a 20″ monitor. It does great on a 12 or 15 inch. This isn’t even my computer. Its a loaner from a friend, because someone wanted my laptop more than I did.
Cap good luck with that, it seems you’ve put this problem to rest many times. You said one time that your equipment was once cutting edge. Now, from your description. you could trade it for a bucket of jellyfish, seaweed and sand… As they aren’t much different from oneanother… the seaweed could be your “hardware”, the jelly fish could be the “brain” of the PC, and sand for circuitry.
Did you say you had 1.5Mb on your video card? Is that in bytes or bits ?!
Ok I’m done making fun.. I really hope you get yourself a system you deserve. Make sure it’s balanced, and that you get plenty of memory
Also try adding to the Marina’s youtube video URL : “&fmt=6″ at the end. Probably you know the old trick with &fmt=18 for high quality, well 18 will make it flv (flash version) witch is better, but if you have problems with sound, mp4 is the way to go. Hence my suggestion &fmt =6 (mp4 format,slightly less FPS, better sound fidelity)
I don’t guarantee it will work on your present system, but we have to try. I can’t stand the thought of you not being able to view your favorite videos on youtube. Besides it gives Marina a bad image as well.
No. 1.5 mbps download speed. Just a block away I could have fiber optic downloading at 50mbps.
I’ll get a good machine. Don’t you worry about that. Your preaching to the quire.
I used to build computers and program them. My first computer was an Apple II plus. As for the video I know exactly the problems Im having. I don’t care to fix them with hacks. Im just going to get a new system and be done with it. I have to get a new system so I can start making videos for my classes.
Someone wanted your laptop more than you did? And you gave it away to him? Oh, well I really really want a house in the US, is that ok, please?
You don’t even need it when your on voyage. Please? 
No I was robed. Now get this by a former roommate. He broke in to the apartment and took a bunch of stuff.
You can have all my houses. I don’t need them on my boat. Heck you can take the whole monopoly game will all the little green houses.
I don’t play with it anymore. 
And I want the Octopus more than Paul Allen;
Can you put in a good word for me, Skipper? 
Yea I can. I need to go talk to him anyways. He still owes me money.
You know Im about 10 minutes away from Bill’s house by way of boat? I could motor off right now and drop anchor on his man made beach. Have you every seen it? Its imported sand. Brings a whole new meaning to don’t bring sand when you come to the beach.
I guess no one told Bill.
do not go to start ,go straight to jail and no bonus
ooops my reply should be one window higher sry

I just found out today I have been walking by the secret location of the makers of the computer game called “Halo”. I wonder why it was so important to hide it?
I guess Bill needs all that sand to cook his chips.
Well as long as your giving things away like houses and octopuses, Jacky Claus, I got a list of things to ask for!
Sorry too late. Ex-girlfriends took it all.
heyy
i love your videos
i would like to know the origin of onomatopoeia
x
Homework answers:
1. Most likely, I will use the birds and bees.
2. I had no problem with the high quality video. Why don’t you post both types and let us pick which one to view?
Hi lostinhere,
Good suggestion on video.
Earlier in the day, Marina had embedded both the Std and the HQ video, but then she changed it to keeping just the HQ video. Don’t know the reason. Down below I made a suggestion that if she goes back to embedding only the Std video, she could add an HQ video link below the Std embedded video.
Remember boys, don’t forget to use a conundrum…
Always wear your rubbers.
Ribbed? Here is your conundrum. How many flies does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Only two, the trick is getting them inside the light bulb.
hehe, no birds and bees for me:P And certainly not the way my parrents did it…. They were doeing all weird and eventually they handed me a laptop with a sexual education website openend
I was like….. wth…..I allready know this you morons….and then they suggested me to read it anyways 
no way! 
that was realy lame and awkward:P LOL
I can’t download “skinny dip” video into iTunes……..
It has scenes that are not suitable for young viewers.
I know G but they also have a clean rating out next to them if they are ok for the younger crowd to see. I can’t get two or three of the lateast videos to download on I tunes either. I like to watch them in full screen.
I HAVE A WORD! Where did Catch 22 come from and what does it exactly mean?
wasps and water, riding the ion trail, the conception and birth of a solar system, What was there before there was nothing, and where would you put something if was nothing? I would want my children to study all these things and tell them don’t worry about having children it will happen when the time is correct for them.
sure are a lot of covers done of Porters “Let’s Do It” thank you Marina for the insight
Can you imagine if Marina taught sex ed? She would probably be in prison for manslaughter by now
I had this verry pretty teacher for biology a few years back….The moment she said something abouth sex all the guys started laughing, she just couldn’t give a normal lesson cause no one took here seriously
We had a similar problem with a substitute history teach. One of my classmate took some spy photos and we went to our photography class and made about 10 copies to post around school. She ended up quiting. She wasn’t qualified to do the job, but still not a good thing to do.
First
AND also
NO flame wars yeasterday
thank god
Actually, I was trying to think of what analogies or even how much more embarassing it would be for parents to have to ask their kids for sex education er I mean advice (not that parents would need it), but I wonder what older people could learn from the younguns
Bill Engvall has a funny skit on that. His wife asks him to talk to their son about it and he started it off by asking his son what he knows about sex already. After 30minutes he said he had a note pad out.
I tried to find it on youtube & had a good laugh at some of the other stuff, thanks raven62 .
Yes now days kids exchange information at an alarming rate compared to years ago.
Here it is http://youtube.com/watch?v=5Vr9eSbRQJs if this doesn’t work it is Bill Engvill 1 of 2. The 1 of 2 is funny too.
I mean 2 of 2
my bad. Enjoy. 
raven62, that was funny “you can do that?”
raven62: Bill Engvill moved to my town (4-5 yrs. ago, small town I’ve moved-on) & gave free performances to benefit the local theatre–a very cool guy & community member.
Great video raven62
I would like to know the origin of “smokepole” or “front stuffer”???
Thanks,

Marina, in this video your aura and presence was exceedingly captivating and along with your ‘a cappella’ singing, you inspired me to get this off of my chest.
My fantasy is that if you could cover these four songs, ‘a cappella’, in the same dress, same location, I would buy the DVD in a heart beat. Green screen or on-location with musical score would even be better.
I’m not comparing you to these ladies, and gawd knows there is a ton of contemporary women that I could have picked. I chose these moldy but oldies for their classical romantic and ethereal essence.
Lee Hazlewood, Nancy Sinatra – Some Velvet Morning
Etta James-At Last
Joan Baez – Diamonds and Rust
Julie Andrews – When You Wish Upon a Star
OK, I’m going to hide under this table while the musical purists gang up on me.
Loved your links, especialy Etta & Joan. Some links on topic too
Ben Lee & Mandy Moore
Patrick & Eugene fun…
but one of the sweetest voices ever Eva Cassidy sadly, gone too soon.
BillyB, great other choices. I love Eva…
I just thought about who Marina inspired me to think of: Doris Day.
Marina, you’ve got to do this one and any other song by Doris Day.
Doris Day – Teacher’s Pet
Wow, had never heard of Eva–thank you.
I had a dream about Marina last night
Do tell… or not?
Oh really? I haven’t had one yet.
Maybe because I day dream of her too much. 
You know how you get strange dreams. I dreamed I was in the supermarket and there was a little piece of “hotforwords” chocolate and some small chips. A man barged me when he went to get some rolls. We has a HUGE fight. He smashed a trolley into me and I picked up a WHOLE fridge and smacked it into him..
Sorry, http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=kGFM1pY2dcw&feature=related
Doris Day, yeh, what a bright ray of sunshine / classy lady.
Thaila fun but a little too much for an old guy like me
“Professional virgin” was how we used to jokingly refer to Doris Day. Her persona is so wholesome, like a milk commercial or something. Watching her in a film role made you feel like there was no way on earth anything she said or did could contain any sexual overtones whatsoever. Makes you wonder what her private life was like. She was always typecast as just so, so PROPER. Great voice on her, though.
I loved the Teachers pet song!! I think it summed it up most for us here.
… 
Hi Marina, I was eating chinese the other day and they gave me a pair of chopsticks to pick the noodles. It then kept me wondering why there are called “chopsticks”? It doesn’t chop things up, so logically it should be called eating sticks instead… I hope you can solve this mystery.
Thank you.
Thats a tough one edwardyys. I don’t think anyone has traced the origin of chopsticks. I use chopsticks almost everyday. I have a bag full of chopsticks. I even have plastic ones but don’t care for them. Bamboo grips the food so much better.
Everybody knows in France that boys are born in cabbages and girls in roses !
In the UK, kids are delivered by a Stork and left for parents to find under Gooseberry bushes in the garden.
This could explain why many Brits have such prickly personalities.
We have also this Stork in France but I think it’s since the story about this little elephant with big ears. Dumbo ?
I just watched your purple lesson. Then it dawned on me. Where did the trem ‘Green with envy” come from???
I would also like to thank you for making learning fun
How did the police come to use the term “foul play” in describing the nature of someone’s death??
Joseph
When my mom was 12 her mother told her that when a man and a woman sleep together “a seed goes into the woman and she get pregnant.” So one day she took a nap and when she woke up she saw that her uncle had fallen asleep next to her and she went and told the whole neighborhood that her uncle had gotten her pregnant. It took a lot of explaining to the neighbors what was really going on. My mom was about as sharp as a bowling ball. She also believed in Santa until she was 14.
WHAT
There’s no SANTA 
Yea just wait until the north pole melts. Soon it will be open for navigation and panama canal will become almost useless.
Great vid. Marina: I did have a hard time with this in HQ. It kept stopping to load every 20 or 15 seconds which made it frustrating to watch. Am I the only one? Cole Porter ain’t got nothin’ on you.
Because High Quality video has a lot more data to download, it may play at a faster rate than your internet connection can handle.
Just let it start and then hit the pause button to allow it to download the video, then you can watch it uninterrupted once it has downloaded.
I had to do the same thing Bob. I only have a 1.5 wireless connection. And just a block away there is fiber optic that has 50megs down speed. Grrrr.
Me too, geronimo. Had to pause it and wait many time, then it would jump to the end (also many times) so I had to click on thre play progress bar in several locations and then wait while it reloaded buffer memory just to finally get to the end. And that was on YouTube. I couldn’t even get it to play here.
Hello Marina, The HQ video works for me. I have a fast PC and connection. If you decide to go back to a Std Quality embedded video,
you could add an HQ link below the Std video instead of embedding an HQ video like you did earlier. The HQ link would look like this which is just the Std video YT link with &fmt=18 attached.
High Quality Video

Stokes I am glad you put up that video. I have never seen it before. It was just beautiful.
Pedantickarl, that Stairway to Marina was just beautiful. It makes her look like an Angle.
Mike
Thanks Mike. I was inspired by Marina’s persona and I think of her as an Angel and nobody including Marina can change my mind on that one.
Can’t argue with that.
Марина, why does the subject of love have this orinthological and apiological euphemism, but the word that literally means “study of love”, philology, is used to describe the study of words? I think HotForWords must investigate.
Oops, I don´t know if you saw my word requests, I placed them at some older lessons. My words are Atom and Mitochondrion.
Hey Marina I was wondering the origin of the expression Cut a Rug which means “to dance”
Thanks so much!
-UmbaFlicks
The vid is loading like crap,nuthin doin.
The birds carried Me somel little pills and now the birds are pretty-much dumb as a post.”
May I request the word “barbituate” followed by the phrase “and then some”?
Facts of life and Let’s do it while the uneducated fleas do marching music. I’m trying to be funny but, making children learn somethings get complicated and then the egg broke. Marina makes the point of difference for reproduction and sex. And to think music and words gets people in the mood. Birds do it and then more birds do it.
marine i always have wonder since i learn 2 speak english why people in USA called a women’s private area pussy. i know it can mean little cat some when didnt people started to use it as a women’s vagina. can you do that word PUSSY
There is something I like better than birds and bees. What is it? Sorry, It’s top secret and I enjoy every bit of it! Especially with my 41 year old woman and I’m only 30 years old.
Get on it young fella!! give Gramma what Mama dreams of!!
labatt78, hehe, you make me laugh sometimes. Now I know what the 78 stands for… from 1978 “In Praise of Older Women“.
You’ve discovered something that some guys never learn…Older women have jobs, with dental plans. Younger women can’t help you when your teeth get knocked out playing hockey.
That is correct Billy. The other difference’s is that she’s about 6 foot tall and I’m 5′3. The other is I live in the west suburbs of Chicago and she lives by Gary, IN. Yes Tyrant I always give what my big mama dreams of..at least 3 or 4 things she loves to do to me to excite me
Blondes are fun!
Perfect… she has her own place too
Exactly, This is a first, Marina serenading? That’s cool!Like I said blondes are fun! I’ll drink 2 that also, cheers!!
So, you must be humming this tune then….
Kid Creole – Endicott
No end of surprises from Marina, eh. The dancing makes me laugh a little though & snowboarding in plaid… she is “uber cool” & pulls off everything she does with trendsetting style.
I guess it’s best to be carefull what you wish for, be thankfull for what you have
pedantickarl… Endicott
even the gods do it
i would like to request my last name its italian i thin its weiner(no joke)
The high quality mode was fine for me (however low quality looked good enough).
As for the “birds and bees” analogy – certainly not. When the kids were younger they got questions answered directly – that is if they had any questions. We also had, indeed have, a sex/pregnancy/birth book in the book shelf with lots of pics and diagrams – that was always available if they chose to look. Also we breed and show guinea pigs – so there was another natural source of things to see and learn about. Other than that we never actually set out to tell them anything if they didn’t ask. I kind of guess that when they came to learn about it at school they already had a rough idea. It just hasn’t been an issue for us.
Nick
i won’t have any kids
why not? sounds like a definitive statement, not meaning to be too personal just curious if you’ll share… don’t like kids? kids don’t like you? or just say mind your own business. cheers
Oh… I agree. wow, Marina singing!!! quite nice & no accompaniment or cheater electronics like Britney uses… oops.
i won’t because i don’t feel prepared and i know i can’t mature a lot more XD (i’m eighteen) despite i’m quite a matured person. That’s in case i pass the age of 30.
and the other one i hadn’t passed the 30’s 
Once i had a dream about my future, it was splited in two parts, one was about my old me, i was half bald, and still a metal-head but with no kids nor wife/ves
Nothing prepares you to have kids
I’ve had three & two are married now. I’m still not prepared… nor am I ready to become a grandparent, which I imagine might be a tick easier. You are young yet, at 18 & not knowing what you want. I got married @ 27 & am now 50, didn’t expect or even envision reaching the age of 50 when I was a teen, but I don’t feel old yet… at least not every day.
Why have children?, probably a question you won’t ask now. food for thought. cheers
Did you know the DOA estimated that a child born in 2007 will cost you $204,060 till the age of 17. Thats not including the cost of iPods, playstation 3, car, computer, etc.
My dad said one day at the dinner table that he had made a million dollars over the course of his life. He couldn’t figure out where all that money went.
Being as I just watched Apollo 13 again I do believe I prefer the long neck beer bottle and a glass demonstration used in the opening of the film!
Regarding the “Download Manager” thing:
What happened to me:
Last night I clicked on a blog or website that contained HFW videos. Instead of a HFW video, I received a scam page that told me it was scanning my computer for viruses. I knew immediately that this was some kinds of browser hijack. (Don’t remember the site, sorry – will investigate.)
This morning, when I clicked on my bookmarks to bring up the HFW site, I received the download manager to download a *.gz file, which was actually the HFW site. That is a Unix/Linux zip type file, confirming my suspicions of a browser type hijack or HOSTS file type hijack or cookie / cache file hijack.
I was not able to ascertain the exact cause since clearing my cookies, cache and re-loggin in, cleared the issue. (my system is clean of all spyware / viruses)
Quick Analysis:
Although a host can have issues that would do the same thing, I think we would have many more complaints. Also, after I cleared my issue, I noticed that there had been many postings on the HFW site this morning, indicating that it was not a HFW site issue; ISP cache issues maybe.
I suspect:
1. Hackers are interfering with HFW access by poisoning certain HFW links on Google search results?
2. I live in So Calif (ATT DSL), it might have been an ISP caching issue?
For those who had this problem, were you aware of any weird browser behaviors visiting other sites, like spam alerts, etc. prior to visiting HFW site?
Once I find more exacting details, I will let you know what web sites or links might be the offending ones, if at all.
Thank you for the info!
Thanks pedantickarl! I was playing around with something on my website this morning… and it resulted in my having to reboot my server…. then when I visited the website I got all these weird characters… but it reverted to normal right away.. then I got an email from a guy saying that my website was gzipped.. that the encoding was all wrong.. then I got another email from a guy saying that his download manager kicked in while visiting my website…
Anyway… I think I might have triggered something this morning while trying out a new plugin… and it may have messed things up temporarily.
So I think it was a temporary issue.. but let me know if it persists!
Marina
Is this going to be on the test?
Thanks Marina for the heads up. That’s a relief. If I find anything else I’ll let you know.
Don´t play to much Marina, you will frighten us all if we face such issues.
You site is working perfect on my computer
Oh Marina, you do the funniest things
)
And I posted a reply to one of your older comments, trying to prove a point. I guess I did just that. Oh well…
As I was logged into HFWs yesterday It took me to a web site that wanted to know what I thought of HFWs. It wanted different statistics about my personal history. I started to answer some of the questions and something different seem quite right so I left the site. I haven’t seen that site since.
Simply explained to my kids that it’s kind of like with belly buttons.. boys have “outies” down there and girls have “innies”….
I think the birds and bees thing predates Cole Porter, though he certainly popularized it. BTW Marina, you are visually very attractive, but after hearing you sing, I recommend you stick to your day job.
Unlike all the sycophants below, I have to agree about the singing which was flat and off key; Marina has a beautiful sound when talking, so maybe with voice training she could become a singer, but she’s not there yet.
Hey … don’t forget the sycophants above, funny you should call Marina flat? As I didn’t hear the key note to start on, I thought she was brave to sing without accompaniment.
…
We had a nice young lady sing the National anthem on Sat. nite & the canned music machine was broken, She sang it out loud & yes one could tell she was hunting for the pitch on the long notes, but I think everybody there said nothing bad, just happy to not be the one called on to sing into the Mic. with no music to accompany.
Hey you wanna have a flame war… you old Sasquatch
Later though, I’m too tired… might just blow a puff of smoke.
Hi, Billy,
Marina is certainly brave – it’s one of the things I like about her – but sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind. I would hate for her to get the idea that she’s got the talent to be a Pop Idol, only to be humiliated by someone like Simon Cowell.
Anyway, no flame wars with me, Bro, and if you’re looking for one I shall ask Capman to hose you down.
Hahahahahahahaha! Good one, Bob.
By the way, you should sing more in your videos, you have a great voice. We’re a very demandin class aren’t we? We want singing, dancing, we want it all.
I can handle the HQ video. Uh, what exactly does HQ stand for? Oh by the way, Porter had the right idea, let’s fall in love. I dont think I’d use analogies to educate them on sex. the first time I heard that from a teacher it just confused the crap out of me. I dont want to do that to my kids, love and sex are confusing enough already without bringing animals into it.
High Quality …like Marina
Teachers now aren’t just teaching sex education in school. They are taking it one step further and having sex with the students. Everyday is another event where a teacher has had sex with a student.
The HQ is just fine and dandy for me.
…and another thing, that dress has summer written alllll over it…loves it!
Hey PD, whats with the change of gravatar? The last gravatar wasn’t what you wanted to BEE?
Just thought I’d go for a theme thing for a couple lessons…or maybe I just have a temporary identaBEE crisis.
Well BEEfor you change it again, BEE for any reason, let BEE know what your next BEEvatar will BEE. I’ll leave you with this question to ponder;
“To BEE or not to BEE, that is the BEE question on your BEEsy day.”
You even have a cute singing voice
If I had a daughter and she asked me about I would tell her that it’s something special between two people,…. and your not doing it till I’m dead.
Now my son (so I don’t have the doubble standard) I would have to tell him the same thing. He is ten today and I’m ot ready for him to grow up and start asking those kind of questions.
I know what you mean about your daughter. You sit in the back seat while she is on a date with a shot gun. Now my son is like me I told him to go out and propagate the world, it was his. So watch out people with daughters that are 20 years old. My son is on the loose.
No, just kidding.
Even stuffed rabbits breed like rabbits.

KB I have seen that one before, but it is still funny every time I watch it. I forgot about that one.
Hello Marina, no MOTD today ?
oops, ignore this one, it updated to late for me, haven´t seen your comment !!!
Thanks it worked I got to see the new lesson
Anybody here getting any kind of weird download thing when you log in or any other times? I’ve gotten 2 people that said they got weird download manager things and someone said the site asked him to download something.
Probably spyware on their computers… but wanted to double check.
yes it say s downloaded in 5 sec
what is downloaded in 5 sec?
i dont know that all it says
First, thank you for the HQ video above.
Regarding your question, everything is fine on my end… however, yes, regarding the “download manager” thing, I have something to say about that. Give me 30 minutes or so to compose a succinct statement about that. I’ll post the info then.
I got such a message when I accessed your “hot for words” site. I didn’t proceed further. I got to your site without that pop-up (if that’s what it was) by entering You Tube first, then your site. Hope that helps.

One mail came from me, it gave some some .zip data, I saved one of them, if you want me to send them to you, please tell me !
Hum, after some time it was gone, but I still have the data here.
The videos won’t load up on mine
Hum, try to close your explorer and open it again, seems to help sometimes, click pause till it loaded…….
Yes! This morning I tried logging on by clicking HFW in my fav list and a little window popped up and said I needed some kind of zip thingy to open HFW
I think It also had this 
.gz in the message…couldn’t log on until I downloaded something called Winzip and its only a 45 day “free” trial…I’m worried 
Um, I can handle all videos, I just don´t get access to the Panties and a other one.
But I think the color of the regular video is better.
I just have to razz you for a minute, you said you don’t get access to the panties
You want me to send you a video or a magazine. 
No, no strange download commands. Tell them to clean their caches and run virus scan.
no downloads here, either. tried safari, ie, firefox. nothing.
This morning tried to find your website, wouldn’t be found… so rebooted anyways, figured you were probably messin with something or hideing… so I had a shower. Seems to help somehow as I have a PC, which everyone knows, when things don’t work right , shut it off & do something else for awhile, then everything will be fine. Never had a MAC so I don’t know how to panic. I lie, had an old apple macintosh with the giant floppy disc, could turn it on…but I guess I was too young to know what else to do after that (was too embarassed to ask my dad)
Hi Miss M. Is there anything wrong with I tunes. I can’t get the last few videos to load so I can watch them in full screen. I also can’t get the Horny video to download to I tunes either. Thanks for any help.
Mike
It’s unnecessary to use analogies to tell kids about reproduction. They can understand the mechanics well enough with a literal explanation.
Dear Marina, I rate your video five stars, due to your nice, modest, polka-dot dress, great vocal delivery, good use of hands while singing, great lighting, neat background, and an interesting topic. Just a small change: Samuel Taylor Coleridge was an English post who lived from 1772 to 1834, so he couldn’t have written a poem in 1939. It must have been written earlier.
For your homework assignment, parents here no longer teach children about sex. California’s school system provides sex education to children, whether parents like that or not. Most other state schools also do this.
Here is a question: Since you are a producer of videos for advertising income, are your clothing selections inventoried as “costumes”, so that they are a tax-deductible expense? If not, your accountant can tell you more about this and it could reduce your income taxes.
Your dear student, Seesix CM6
you have a beautiful singing voice marina 5*
ok so why do people say god bless you after you sneeze?
I know that one, but like below I’ll let Marina answer it.
By the way When a priest sneezes is it okay to say God bless you to them?
i just want to know were the phraze: the early bird gets the worm
I know the answer, but I’ll let Marina do it. It gives her material to work with. I’ll just keep you in suspense
just kidding you
Oh no Greek Mythology, now poetry.
I’m doomed.
I’m gonna take on a sisyphean task and detruncus the world beaches of beautiful bottoms.
Be careful Comrade Agent HotForWords.
Comrade Dima Bilan heard your song.
He thinks you might be trying to take his place at the shindig in Moscow next year.
I’ll alert Comrade Boris to lock up the AK-47
In the meantime, “Must Kill Moose and Squirrel”
Ah that’s it, don’t teach Birds and Bees, teach Moose and Squirrel.
Even better can we get the etymology of “Moose and Squirrel”.
Verrrrry clever wetsuit5, how you got “Moose and Squirrel”
in there. We’re not going to let that one die…. is we???
Ooooops, I meant “you and me” and maybe a few others…
Sorry, aLx, I’m just funning with you. It’s all in fun.
Kill Moose and squirrel
Moose and Squirrel! Moose and Squirrel!
If it dies, it goes on the menu.
@BillyB- Good menu, great prices!
…Do they have curbside togo? 
Pagedoll, it’s not take out, more like a Drive into “You kill it, We grill it” … Thats good strategy to keep the costs down.
Love the rules of the roadkill… #1
Very nice, very funny, and……you look *great* !!!
Hum, I guess I will try the Birds and Bees, or let my woman do that part
. hum, mabe I…I realy don´t know at the moment, I just know I need a explanation when it comes to that point 
…. 
I think it’s more embarrassing for a man to tell the kids than the wife.
true, if I have to tell them, you won´t know where it will lead to
but I think if I ever get a good one up it will be a pleasure for me (we have to show that we have a good side in us
, it will make us sort of “the man”) 
Can you imagine….walking down the streets, all woman watch you with a friendly smile, and a small sort of ..rrrr.. in their eyes….. *dreamy* I would be
Holla!
Hey Protac6 whaaaassssuuuupp
Very beautiful voice singing a cappello
I love her voice… very smooth, romantic and seductive. I’m trying to place another singer who sounds like that. I’ll let you know as soon as it hits me.
Congrats on the extreme last. I laffed my tush off…
Some body will figure out a way to beat that one of mine. Oh well, It’s on
I am still waiting for someone to tell me about the birds and the bees. I had to learn mine in the back seat of a 64 Impala. I figure I wouldn’t tell my children They learn more than I could teach them at school and on dates.
Wouldn’t you kill for that car now?
Soon you’ll have to kill to fuel it!
I remember several of the guys in my band had to leave practice early on many occasions in order to go find some poor unfortunate soul’s car with a full tank so they could siphon enough gas to keep their monster v-8s running during the oil crisis of the mid-70s. We were only allowed to buy gas on even or odd numbered days of the month back then. If you were the kind of person to whom planning ahead was an unrehearsed skill, and you loved cruising and burning rubber in your Dodge 440 Super-Bee, 396 Chevelle, Mustang 426 Mach I, 465 Wildcat, or your Olds 442, that was what you did, apparently.
I had a 65 VW bug that got me where I needed to go on its little1000 cc engine. They always razzed me a lot about it, but what the hell. My guitar and amp fit inside just fine. I just felt lucky because I didn’t have to come home with gasoline on my breath! Imagine getting pulled over: “Sir, have you been drinking?” Then having to breathe in the cop’s face only a few minutes after spitting out a nice mouthful of leaded premium. Mmmmm! “Step out of the car please…”
Tha was a good little story there, thanks for sharing. I wasn’t driving in the seventies but I must drive a van for the work I do now, and I tell ya what, every time I pull away from fillin’ up, It feels like I just lost in Vegas!
I am glad you are back I thought you may have been one of the members that quit. I even e-mailed Marina and asked her if you had quit. I am sorry for your troubles and hope for the best for you. I am fine except for a little gout in my left foot which was my fault for not drinking enough water.It’s gone now. As for Fayetteville it’s a place to live, nothing special here. If you like living next to a military base then it’s ok. I don’t live that close but we know it’s there. It is hot and very humid all the time except for in the winter. I like the colder weather a lot better. I just love it when it snows, not ice, but just snow. So take care and I hope every thing get ok for you
As for the new site attached to my name I thought I would put up some games to challenge peoples minds. I tried a few and liked them. This part of the site is for teachers to show their students different things about how thew CIA makes up codes and different other games.
Misha
Marina, WOW!!! excellent video!!!!
I love your singing. More please….. music to my ears…
I agree, get Ron Jenkins to play a little music in the background and I am in heaven
Kobe must have been really hungry.
He ate every one of the red flowers off of that poor ole plant. Right down to the stem
