Yes.

Especially when one trades in Wife 1.0 for Wife 2.0. We don't always make the best choices the first time around, but with the right person things can become paradise.

And paradise is where I live now.

By the river.

Our first Christmas after finishing our house was a white one.

That is some view!

That all sounds delicious

......I am craving some fresh fried oysters, but none are close.

I don't know how you avoid them. I went playing tourist in a cave today, and just as we got to the deepest, most remote part of the caverns, this swarthy guy with snaggly teeth stepped out from behind a huge stalagmite and said, "now, what Pentax should have done..."

This guy??
That's my brother, the cave dweller.
Mom always liked him best.

"Unorganized" in short!

I've heard Norwegian spoken only a few times.
If I hear Spanish, or Italian I can pick up a few words here and there, and with French I can usually understand enough to get the gist of the conversation.
With Norwegian I'm at a total loss to pick up anything I can recognize, but it has a cadence that makes it a very melodic language.

A Slovakian friend of mine share with me, years ago, this one: Strč prst skrz krk.
You will note it contains no vowels at all. Supposedly it's an insult meaning "Stick your fingers down your throat."

Best I can manage is some Afrikaans or Dutch.

According to Google:
Stick your finger through the neck.

Afrikaans is an interesting language. I don't think there is another language, save for English, that is as much of a conglomeration of languages.
If you have a knack for language, and you hear something being spoken with a Britishesque (is that a word?) accent that is totally unidentifiable, think Afrikaans.
