    Oh, my. This is acceptable, yes. Your angel financier must have deep pockets. Normally the best I can do is an indie California Cabernet. Oh, and leave the bottle, s'il vous plait, I am sure Torunn will help me finish it.
    You can count on me, and we will have a chance to get acquainted. Do speak with a special accent?

    Rusty hasn't done anything I can see to deserve this wine.
    Love me best
    when I deserve it least
    because that's when I need it most

    Lemons are often needed as a garnish here.

    Mon plaisir, et oui, le philantopiste a en effet de profondes poches. Since you invited torunn to join you he has also insisted that you both shall have any of the fine munchies on offer, gratis/free naturalmente. Bon appetit.

    OK where's the guy who ordered the Pepsi?

    You know, I'm American, no real regional accent that I know of, of course none of us thinks we have an accent even when some, esp. from the South or New England, are really noticable to others. Sometimes when I'm unusually tired, I can start speaking in a drawl; I think this is from the year I spent in North Carolina as a little girl.

    Yes you all have different accents depending what part of the U.S.A. you live in. I have relatives in Boston. They even say things differently as an example: What we call pop they call tonic water.....LOL...at least we all got a laugh out of it. Other expressions to that they use.

    Yes, we have people we call 'special' here too, but has a different meaning. Perhaps you are special! 😉

    As I was taught British-English, which I still stick to, I can have a hard time understanding accents. e.g. Australian was a bit tricky when Kewpie and I met a few years ago.

    We are a bit special here in that we are women - not so many in these forums.
