To brighten up this shortest day, a very old (children’s) joke that I received yesterday for the umpteenth time, and I always have to chuckle a bit about it.

Exactly thirty winter solstices ago, I married my love 
Google tells me that pearls are the appropriate gift.
Unfortunately, I’ve cast all mine before my grunting guitar buddies, so shall have to revert back to the woes of wooing again… 
Wish me luck

Hi Brian , 
Okay…this one comes with a big wink and a little bit of a bad burrrp is allowed if someone feels it coming 
stupid stupid stupid 
Casting/throwing pearls before swine 
Do you really need the luck…nooooo …just put on your piteous (sweet sad) face and you’re forgiven 
Have fun together and have a great time,
x2 Rogier and Hermine
Oh Brian you’re just an apprentice. My wife and I celebrate 46 years next April.
Congratulations, a lovely pearl necklace will be the perfect gift. We as your guitar buddies are perfectly happy having your obscure but artistic performances cast before us.

Oh wow Gordon @sairfingers …that makes me very happy to read 
on this early, wet, dark Sunday morning …
Brian @brianlarsen 
To see if I missed anything I threw this last part into my Google translation English/Dutch…And THIS came up 
so we will have to return to the misery of making love again
And so my Sunday begins before my first tea
Greetings my dear people

Google is close, but no cigar 
Wooing is typically the work you have to ‘invest’ prior to ‘divesting’

Ha ha, I figured that out, but from now on it has a new meaning 
And in this last last sentence from you Wooing is translated to “pursue”

That sounds about right, Rogier, just a really specific pursuit

I have an idea where this is going, but I can’t quite understand it… it’s not the English we speak here, so to speak. 
and the generated translation talks about food … that can’t be it… or wait… no …or …no no, I won’t go that way
Greetings ~:christmas_tree:~~ 
I can almost smell the spring …so close

Hi Andrea 
It’s never too late to say nice things …and while I’m still breathing …Which is becoming increasingly difficult due to a cold for a week with a lot of coughing 
and luckily our first Christmas in our lives, eating outdoors withjust the two of us was my best day and super fun (I thought that was really ridiculous in the past ,but very nice to see so many (100+) freshly dressed, cheerful people together in a party mood) …
Thank you for beeing here 
and I start play to catch up on some reading, but see that it is a bit busy if you don’t keep up with that daily
Greetings

I hope you get well soon! I’ve got a cold too since 3 days, the first one after years, a lot of sniffing and coughing 
and definitely no singing!
Happy you had such a nice dinner for two at Christmas. The older I get, the more I feel the need of “silence”, so I can relate to this a lot

Ooo nooo …I share this with you ,a little to late but still good 
I realized just in time through a funny conversation last week that some of my favorite fruits and vegetables are not appropriate to share here ( I will make mistakes in the future 
)

Well I confess you have me beaten to follow what is inappropriate or if you are making some kind of joke, Rogier.
