I love all berries equally! No [discrimination] whatsoever. They taste good in [yogurt]
My favorite berry is- cranberry
Hay, straw is cheaper. An old farmer joke and my random lesson. Strewn about like quackgrass roots[rhizomes]. I like all edible berries and you make me smart.
xbox wrote this in a previous lesson that I thought rather interesting:-
‘I found this very interesting and learned a lot. Hope you do too.
The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn’t just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the 1500s:
In the Spring they;
the towns people would get their berries sprouting, sometimes to early. the Winter, as we all know in the early months of April, especially in England, are very unstable, it could all of a sudden ice out of nowhere. So, People would have to throw straw over the tops of the berries to insulate them, and keep them from spoiling from over exposure to the weather. Hence the name (Strawberries)’
Oh, and my favorite berry is the . . . cranberry!
In French, “fraise” (strawberry) is a slang term that refers to one’s face. Example: “J’aime pas sa fraise !”
On a highly related issue, when I was a kid, we used to have lunch on a nice marble slab in Barry Cemetery. Just off 69 Hwy north of the river in what used to be a one-horse town named Barry, but is now a part of Kansas City, Missouri. We enjoyed spending time with the silent majority.
Last April, I visited the town of Strawberry, Arizona. The state’s first schoolhouse is located there. I guess the kids who attendd school there grew up to be smart. Berry smart.
strawberry are great with cream and a beautiful woman like you…
Soy = 1679, saio “sauce for fish, made from soybeans,” from Du. soya, from Japanese soyu, variant of shoyu “soy,” from Chinese shi-yu, from shi “fermented soy beans” + yu “oil.” Etymology reflects Dutch presence in Japan long before English merchants began to trade there.
How about we do the definition of “give them the raspberry” LOL

[happenstance]
Strawberries for me. Gosh Marina, your lucky to be living in L.A where its sunny and happy every day of the week.
God I hate fog.
My Favorite Berry is….. Marion Berry. Or maybe it’s Chuck Berry…..of course there is always Barry Williams (brady bunch). Then I am quite fond of the New York Razz Berry.
MARINA-strawberries are good.what about mayberry ?
милашка et al.,
Which berries? Depends on the purpose
For dessert: strawberries & raspberries
For cereal: blueberries.
For drinks: cranberries (for vodka), cherries (for other liquors)
I gotta go with strawberries, if only because it’s fun watching Marina eat them
ANyway, I would like to request a video on the word ghoul
My favorite berry is the tomato. My second favorite is the sea buckthorn and my third favorite is the barberry. And, yes, Bob is right: the banana is a true berry. I took a botany course in college.

Guys,
Don’t miss Marinas appearance on the Bill O’reilly Show on the 31th.
Here is his email address, yip it up. oreilly@foxnews.com.
Marina,
Did Bill ask for any special word ie, Hypocrite, Tartuffe or Pharisee. Just kidding, I like Bill.
I like his tantrums when someone disagrees with Him.
He’s a little supercilious but ……….?
Why are Fingers called phylanes instead of just fingers
The bones of the fingers are called the phalanges.
Oh!
I know what I wanted to ask you Marina, I want my videos to say watch in high quality (like yours do.. ) How do you make them do that.. What camera do you have? James
xx
I tought you needed a bitrate of at least 600kbps and uploud the vid in xvid or divx, not sure. Do a search on it, “how to get high quality on youtube” on yt im sure you’ll find the answer.
Just hope marina replies.. I wanna know what type of camera it is etc. I think if you just have the right camera it will do it anyway
James, make sure you upload your videos with a size of 640×480 and I use H.264 encoding at a 3000 kbps encoding rate… My older videos where I uploaded them at 320×240 I don’t think they do a high quality version of them.
How did you get so smart with computer technology?
Experience Capman… I’ve been doing this for over a year now
How do you do a 3000kbp rate?
I can do everything else.. Just not the 3000kbps bit..
When you compress your videos… where do you tell it the bit rate? it would be 3 Mbps or 3000 kbps.. I don’t think that rate is that important though as long as it’s 600 kbps I think minimum
Somtimes I just upload them straight from movie maker.. I just tried to convert a video like you said and now its saying windows explorer has stopped working and rundll32 doesnt work.. Its getting better now. But when it fixes itself… I will try again… Thanks
Any more Ideas on the putting of different colored squares around our comments? If you do may I have a red one
Don’t Fence Me In
Well, now that I got that excitement out of the way, I like cherries, strawberries, blackberries, and sometimes raspberries. Especially as preserve spread or syrup.
I also read somewhere that the strawberry was a member of the rose family.
Ha
