  1. We should, but I don't think they make bras for people with five boobs!
  2. I used google translator. It's not perfect but it is good enough. Sometimes things happen that make you understand that in life you can not or should not be alone. In last October 10 my older sister, Paloma, suffered an accident after throwing a party to inaugurate her new apartment. Paloma has a disability, the left side of her body since birth is much weaker than the right. Go live alone was an important choice. After the party with friends, I left at midnight after having so much fun. At five I was woken up screaming and banging on the door of the house. Paloma had fallen from her bedroom window on the fourth floor, ending in the grids of the building. I jumped out of bed and ran to her. It could have killed anyone who put in my way, but when I saw her, I stepped back. Circulated to nurses and firefighters, was impaled on the grill, the body pierced in four different points. Via one of the tips out by her leg. She was still conscious. I was with my brother, housed in an ambulance and called the family around the world calling them to come. That day my father was 60 years, and seeing that I called him on the phone, thought I would be arriving in Dubai to make it a surprise. It took almost two hours to free Paloma. They could not lift her body, fearing that she lost much blood, so they had to cut the edges of the grill and leave them in the holes to remove them only in the operating room. Paloma was conscious the whole time. I saw the nurses to put on a stretcher and anesthetize her on the path. When I touched her face, she was already asleep. The whole block was agreed in a stunned silence. Paloma was taken by helicopter to the Royal London Hospital, where surgeons managed to save her life in an operation that lasted 14 hours. Incredibly crates that were saved, despite the horrendous injuries that resulted, because the fall broke and Paloma had prevented brain damage. Paloma is still in hospital. When you are high, will be transferred to a rehabilitation unit where he will learn to walk again, restoring nerve function of the legs and hips. Will take years until it heals completely. I grew up in France and the UK, and I constantly had to rely on the public health system. But what happened to my sister made really enjoyed it. We are protected from cradle to grave, and not give the deserved value. My father is American and we children, we have a U.S. passport. If one such incident happened across the ocean my parents already had to have sold the house to get pay expenses. The USA government sends troops overseas to "defend" the rights of its citizens, but leave the people defenseless when it hurts the country. If you fall from a window in America, they leave you alone. It's horrible. Another relative of mine, who had an illness in LA a year ago, was hospitalized at Cedars Sinai Hospital for 14 days and was discharged with a bill of $ 19.000 which is still paying. We have no health insurance and my sister as a resident of the United Kingdom is proud not to need it. Across Europe are practiced public expenditure cuts, and the two sectors most at risk are the ones that we take for granted, schools and health. If the experience with my sister made me appreciate even more the United Kingdom? No doubt! I can not understand how the U.S. has reached a point of entrusting the responsibility of the proven health companies, whose profit more passion than cure. Obama reforms in health go in the right direction, but there is still much to change not only the system but the very culture of the nation for the care of the citizens. Many U.S. citizens see public health as a threat to the proven system to which they are accustomed. Noting that America seems to privatize is simpler than turning to public health and free. Italy, in second place in the world for better health care system (despite the problems of which we know) has a lot to defend, like Britain. And it seems that we should do it more than ever in the future.
  3. This thread is so funny. I just stumbled across it as I was looking for a different thread. I shower every three days but I take baths on most of the days that I don't shower.
  4. Today, at a school band thing, this girl was sitting down with an open water bottle. She sat up and was holding the water bottle upside down without even realizing that water was pouring out of it until half of it was on the floor! It was hilarious!
  5. I am neither fond of the advertisement nor opposed to it. However, I remember one old interview I saw in which Mika said he thought it was silly when celebrities have their own lines of scent. I know it is not his own line of scent but it is still very similar and I thought that was sort of funny. I think he looks good in the picture but in my opinion, he looks much better in other pictures. I prefer seeing him wearing his own more interesting and unique clothing than seeing him in a black suit.
  6. The last CD I got was Pandemonium by BWO. It is a collection of some of their singles and it is great!
  7. Hi! Violette is my real name and I am from the UK.

  8. Last year I saw a man who looked almost exactly like Mika in the airport. The only major difference was that he was slightly tanner than Mika. When I first saw him, I almost thought he was Mika but I quickly realized he wasn't. He was really cute ......... obviously since he looked like Mika:teehee:
  9. In my Spanish class, we had to pick an celebrity and describe them in Spanish so that people could guess who we were talking about. I picked Mika and nobody guessed correctly. It turned out that only one person in my class had ever heard of Mika before.
  10. I got my mom to like Mika and now we always listen to his music in the car. The first time she heard Grace Kelly she said, "Wow. He is so talented! I would love to be able to sing like that." and then as I let her hear more Mika songs, she couldn't stop talking about how talented he is.
  11. I have several name suggestions (even though Mika doesn't want our help:biggrin2:): Elvira, Dymphnie, Ianthe, Irene, Annabelle, or Clarisse
  12. I first discovered Mika when I heard Grace Kelly and thought it was so different from everything else on the radio. I bought Grace Kelly and I loved it and when LICM came out I was so happy because I got to listen to more Mika. And I have loved Mika ever since! Then I found MFC and it seemed like a nice place, so I joined!
