In combination with "stur" (stubborn) it sounds a bit more offensive to me. And then again, I try to call only myself an Esel every now and then. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Re flights to Venice/Milan:<BR/>Besides Vienna (6 hrs by train to Ve), there are 2 airports in Austria that are even closer to Venice, Graz and Villach. Bratislava is also an airport to consider.<BR/>Maybe this website helps: <BR/>http://www.megaflieger.deMerisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-483911541311389592.post-39996806528769042992008-03-02T20:54:00.000-08:002008-03-02T20:54:00.000-08:00Onomatopoetic animal tiles:Does the sssserpent his...Onomatopoetic animal tiles:<BR/><BR/>Does the sssserpent hiss?<BR/><BR/>Do the beezzz buzz?<BR/><BR/>I can imagine the tiles arranged on the counters in my kitchen, holding warm plates and loaves of hot bread.<BR/><BR/>And of course, my favorite is the cat.Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912030095491960175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-483911541311389592.post-66292267633398008582008-03-02T19:12:00.000-08:002008-03-02T19:12:00.000-08:00Dear Rochambeau:Yes, I have all these tiles in my ...Dear Rochambeau:<BR/>Yes, I have all these tiles in my home and really want to collect his other animals -he even has a pig!<BR/>My friend who is sick's initials are K.C. - she is doing a little better though still seriously ill.<BR/>Thank you for thinking of her.<BR/><BR/>High Diva and Lane - yes, I think the elephant is very cool....<BR/><BR/>M.
