Different ways to say love!

In the weeks leading up to Valentine’s Day, a group called Today Translations got in touch with 320 language experts and asked them to pick the MOST ROMANTIC WORD in the world. Here’s a rundown of their top four choices:

#1.) “Amour” . . . the French word for love

#2.) “Amore” . . . the Italian word for love

#3.) “Bellissima” . . . which is both Spanish and Italian for “very beautiful”

#4.) And “Tesoro” . . . which is both Spanish and Italian for “treasure”

And the three LEAST ROMANTIC ways to say “I love you” are:

#1.) “Watakushi-wa anata-wo ai shi–masu” . . .which is Japanese

#2.) “Rydw i’n dy garu di” (–pronounced “doo-EEN-duh-GARee-dee”) . . . which is Welsh

#3.) And “Qaparha” . . . (–pronounced “Kah-pah-hah) which is Klingon. (???)

Overall, Italian was voted the most romantic language in the world . . . followed by French . . . with Spanish and English tied for third.

Getting warm with waffles!

So, okay it may not be the most stylish, but it’s comfortable and warm and that’s what counts in winter! It’s what’s considered thermal underwear or “waffle material” to wear as outerwear.

(*strictly according to Amber*)

Why choose thermal as opposed to a regular long sleeved shirt?

Thermal shirts are often knit in a waffle-weave pattern that assists in trapping body heat AND many thermal shirts have ribbed knit cuffs to prevent cold air from entering the sleeve area.

I got a really cute pair of waffle tights from Old Navy with little buttons on the bottom. Warm and comfy – what more could you ask for?

If you are attached, the two of you could be engaged in quite the tango this summer. Pisces helps make and spend your funds! Careful.

Kevin Smith

Kevin Smith, the director of Mallrats, Clerks and Chasing Amy was asked to leave a Southwest flight, he claims, for being too fat.

Kevin was understandably ticked and took to Twitter to hilariously vent his frustrations.

–”You (effed) with the wrong sedentary processed-foods eater!”

–”I know I’m fat, but was Captain Leysath really justified in throwing me off a flight for which I was already seated?”

–”I’m way fat. But I’m not THERE just yet. But if I am, why wait til my bag is up, and I’m seated WITH ARM RESTS DOWN. In front of a packed plane with a bunch of folks who’d already I.D.ed me as Silent Bob.

–”So, @SouthwestAir, go (eff) yourself. I broke no regulation, offered no “safety risk” (what, was I gonna roll on a fellow passenger?). I was wrongly ejected from the flight (even Suzanne eventually agreed).

–”And (eff) your apologetic $100 voucher, @SouthwestAir. Thank God I don’t embarrass easily (bless you, ‘Jersey Girl’ training). But I don’t sulk off either: so everyday, some new (eff)-you Tweets for @SouthwestAir.”

–”Wanna tell me I’m too wide for the sky? Totally cool. But fair warning, folks: IF YOU LOOK LIKE ME, YOU MAY BE EJECTED FROM @SOUTHWESTAIR.”

–”Don’t worry: wall of the plane was opened & I was airlifted out while Richard Simmons supervised.”

V-day Marriage Fail

Now this is awkward.  Could she look any more horrified?

Alexandre Bilodeau is the MAN!!!

Canada’s first gold medal on Canadian soil!!!!! 

It came in moguls last night. 

The 22-year old says his biggest inspiration is his brother, Frederic, who has Cerebral Palsy. 

Great quote from Alexandre in the Toronto Star:

“He’s been an inspiration for me since I was so young,” said Bilodeau, 22. “He’s 29 right now. February 18th is his birthday. He’s handicapped. He’s got cerebral palsy. And growing up with a brother that’s handicapped, you learn so much.

“… Going into those schools where everybody could complain, but the only thing on their face is a smile. They’re enjoying life.

“It puts everything back into perspective. I’ve got that chance to train, and maybe one day will be an Olympic champion, and I’ll take it. Even if it’s raining, I’ll take it. I’ll go train. (Frederic) doesn’t even have that chance, and he has a smile. Every morning he wakes up, and he’s got all the right to complain, and he never complains. … We can learn from those people.”

Canada has 3 medals so far, one gold, one silver and one bronze.

If you’re Valentine’s day sucked – theirs did too.
