No matter what the origin of the word, shopping is still hell. I think I can relate more to the prison origin.
I like shopping, and will be doing just a bit more later tonight. Because during a phone conversation earlier today I said,
“She is coming too?”
I am always the last to know these things.

The tickle me Elmo dolls are becoming so complex that the next generation of Elmo will be able to stand upright and walk around on it’s own. Mothers may decide to skip having babies and just go with an Elmo for that nurturing companionship that a newborn is able to help provide for a momma. In a few years tickle me Elmo will be able to do all the shopping, make the grocery list, call and make your appointments, basic household chores, etc.
Beautiful, Dear Teach. (So was the lesson.) It’s great to see Gorby “feeling his oats”, too.
Personally, I loathe shopping, except for shopping for my loved ones during times like Christmas or birthdays or other special occasions.
It’s ironic, since I’m probably the biggest “computer virgin” who regularly visits HFW, but I’m not experiencing any of the problems viewing lessons or posting comments that many of the family are. Don’t have a clue why that is(naturally), but I just thought it might be helpful somehow for you to know. I’m on a new HP laptop that has all the “bells and whistles”, but nothing exotic.
Thanks for all you do for us.
Always.
Always.
I’m in the same boat, origialistrick…unless someones’ tickels my HP…WordREQUEST…, OATS
Nice boobs, WHERE IS THE WORD PRON FROM? OR ADULT FILMS!!!
Hello my sweet friend when will you come to TURKEY!
All with my loves and hugs,

I want to show some love for a family of cuddly, yet under-appreciated words, namely the “ub” words. Bub, cub, chub, club, dub, drub, flub, gub*, glub**, grub, hub, nub, pub, rub, sub, scrub, slub, snub, stub, and tub.
*Gub isn’t really a word, but it’s used in a bank robbery scene in the Woody Allen movie, Bananas.
**Glub isn’t really a word, either. It’s the sound of a cartoon character drowning.
Nastik means Atheist i guess. Please someone confirm the right meaning not NASDAQ

Oh! you want the word as it applies to Botany.

I do my best SHOPPING
when I just walk around a store looking at things. I find great bargins that way.
I get the 5 finger discount when I shop! I AM JUST KIDDING!!!! I just thought that expression sounded funny
Hey, Marina just did her own word request;
“5 finger discount”
kewl
Does a thumb qualify as a “finger”?
No! You use four fingers from one hand grab,and one finger from the other to hold the bag open!
You do know that in Alabama, a ‘credit card’ is what the rest of the world refers to as ‘2m of garden hose and a gas can’.
We used to say “Cobbing”

I shop a lot on the net, but usually only go straight for what I want in a mall. I don’t usually like shopping otherwise. There you have it!
I will go back and change all the embed to just high quality not HD.. as I had no idea that HD was so hard to watch!
Will do so now!

I loved the large size of the HD vids, BUT watching was hard seeing that the voice & video were not in synch.

It really doesnt matter much since I LOVE WATCHING YOU
Your infatuated ( *** WORD REQUEST***) student B.B.
Marina, do tell us about your date with “Mr. Right”
OOPS! I forgot…
Blockquote format seems to have disappeared.
Where did you find that Evan?
I presume you’re referring to the quote “Are you single?”…
I copied the quote from your FAQs page, then bracketed it with the
format from the “Allowed” line, which still is not putting the quote in a box.
I believe it was this comment below.
D’oh!
Notice, I didn’t point it out.
I can relate. Been there, done that.
hello everyone. today let me sing a little bit here.
“shopping for labels, shopping for love, D&G is all i m thinking of. shopping for labels, shopping for love, a D&G cloth has never broken my heart before…”
So are there italian people here on this site, by the way?
Hi Marina,
I’ve noticed a lot of grim faces this holiday season, lots of people saying they wish Christmas was already over so I would like to request the word “Humbug”. Perhaps it will remind people why they should be making merry this season and hopefully change the heart of a few Scrooges out there.
Thanks!
Christmas markups are a drag on the economy
All the good sales are AFTER Xmas
WORD REQUEST Flirt, like shopping
Hello Marina! I’d like to know about the word “Pálinka”. It’s a Hungarian word for a Hungarian drink, that’s all I know. When I was in Hungary, I drank a bottle of Pálinka. This drink was very toothsome.
Pálinka, Pálinka, Pálinka moya!
Shopping is one of my absolute least favorite things. I like buying stuff, but I always have a plan, get in and get out. It is funny, though; I can spend all day at a museum or some exhibits. I have a blast, and time just flies on by. When we go shopping, Mrs. Somebody leaves me behind. At a museum, she drags along. We just do not synch on this.
Thats a very weird, lonely and chubby child there at the end of the video…
Be nice!
Heh, I was just christmas shopping.
