21) I can definitely teach you Spanish. Bien Chevere!
24) Those are very pretty to see them up close. I would love to see them in my lifetime.
27) I am very curious to know how your teacher inspired you and what you learned.
28) I am with you on that one.
31) I also agree with you on this. You can't take action pictures with digital cameras because of the delay.
35) I love my glasses too much. I am a wuss when it comes to contacts, my eyes are to sensitive.
42) I watched my first hockey game in ages... Very exciting, but Tampa Bay lost to Buffalo.
44) That's my dream, but Bob Barker is retiring in June. :(
46) There is no other city like Las Vegas.
50) Very Funny.
