The Theme from Love Story

1) The very popular tagline for this movie is, "Love means never having to say you're sorry." Here's your chance to rewrite it. "Love means _____________________." Love means saying sorry even when you think you did nothing wrong. 2) The movie was famous for a montage of the lovers frolicking in the snow. Do you enjoy sledding, skating, skiing, snowball fights, snowmen, etc.? Or do you just want spring to hurry up and get here? I love winterfun....

2 times in one

No way I could keep up with all the expectations of others. There were so many appointments in my work agenda and in my private agenda, that I knew on monday that I couldn't do what needed to be done. Take for instance the mistake of the new secretary, who planned an appointment from 10 to 11 at one location and from 11 to 12 at another location, meaning: at the other side of town. That usually takes about half an hour to go from one location to the other, so it's only logic to think it can't be done in one or two minutes. Then an aunt suddenly...

When I was 10 I was trained to dance in official dress at the carnaval festivities for...

Sorry

1) This song is a plea for a second chance. Are you good at forgiving/forgetting? I try, because I'm not without fault. But it's more difficult to forget than to forgive. 2) Justin asks his girl to "forget this." What have you done/said recently that you wish could just be forgotten? Something unimportant. I was asked to come and celebrate Carnaval and I declined. Right now I wish a bit that I had gone with them to have a party.... 3) Mr....

Friday 5: Press

In what way are you pressing your luck? When I visit my gram I always hope she invites me for dinner. Most of the time she does. When did you last wield an iron? You mean Iron clothes? I almost never do, so I won't know what was the last time. I try to buy non-iron clothes. Not counting buttons on your computer, tablet, or phone, what was the result the last time you pressed a button? This afternoon when I made photocopies. What was the name...
