Comments: My sister thinks I’m a bit obscure on # 1 and #8, so if you agree, here is some help.

#1. If you propose to me, I’ll wed ja!  (a y is pronounced like a j in my part of Mexico!). Yes. Very obscure. Sorry, Patti and all.

#8.  My fault. I left out part of the sentence.  It should read: Crew cut–what happens in the kitchen on a boat during stormy weather..(.i.e. the boat lurches and the kitchen crew slices their fingers instead of the veggies.)
