I'm planning to visit South America this summer, but the news is about zika everyday, so anyone live in south america or has just been there, can you tell me how serious is the zika virus now, and do you think its gonna affect the olympics? is if safe to go travelling there in the summer?

does the word 'caller' mean anything sexctually?

I got a message from a female the other day. like maybe all the woman here. I only get message from men but barely any woman. (not that its a bad thing, just I came to this community to study language but id really like to meet different people and make more new friends as well. Both male and  female )so  i replied her message , saying she might be the first female whoever messaged me. 

Then she said 'am i your first female caller？', i was like' yes, you are'. she said ' im not a lesibine but i love woman！'  i thought she meant she likes to hang out w girls, me and my friend jokes like that all the time. then we exchanged skype and she started to talk dirty out of no where. its not like a big deal and it happens all the time anyway. but im just confused is the word caller means anything sextually. that she meant things sextually at the time. 

Im not a native english speaker so lots of times i understand the sentences but i dont know its hidden meaning. so everyone can you tell me does the word caller means anything sextually. haha. if so it was super weird that i answered yes.

Random thoughts I started to learn spanish a year ago and i tried hard everyday after work. Then my work got very busy and i stopped my learning. Now half a year later when i log on italki, i cant even understand my own notebook entries in spanish. Sometimes you need perceverance to achieve a certain goal. Thats something I'm lack of. I was planning to visit south america this summer but the zika thing seems to be serious. So I might just go to west asia instead. Iran, turkey, jordan and egypt. And id love to go to lebanon if possible. Normally I travel alone but im a bit worried if its safe travelling in these countries alone as a woman. So Anyone whos been there, can you give me some advice？

The Key To Happiness Today I’m going to try to incorporate 24 words into one story. They are: sneak up, drown out, sink in, backbone, barge in, grievance, resentment, passive-aggressive, refrain, attorney, validate, cookware, generate, mindful, pat, quack, audacity, stoic, interfere, gobble, overbearing, flaw, stifling. Amanda found her husband cheating at the age of 33. They were married for 6 years then and they had no kids. She knew there was something wrong for a long time, but she was just too afraid to validate. Her husband was the backbone of the family, she just didn’t know what should she do without him. She was stoic and had nowhere to voice her grievance, she refrained from making any move, and she dealt everything in her passive-aggressive way. She started to doubt everything about herself, her appearance, her taste of clothing, her personality, which she used to believe that the only flaw was a bit overbearing. She went to work as usual, act perfectly normal, but she would gobble up a big jar of ice-cream everyday at night, she had a feeling that all the emotions generated in the day time would go away along with the ice-cream. Her life was stifling and the resentment grow quietly in her heart, she wasn’t happy. Everything changed after she took a long vacation in Europe. The idea of independence started to sink in, she realized she could actually manage her life on her own. One day she followed her husband and barged in the hotel, she sneaked up on them and caught them in bed. Soon after that, she found herself an attorney, and her husband didn’t have the audacity to say anything. Just like that, she was divorced. She gave her husband the last hug and patted him on his back, and then she left without hesitation. Amanda became a single woman living alone. She found herself an apartment in the downtown area and bought a whole new series of cookware, she always wanted those beautiful plates but their kitchen was too small. She was mindful of her body and would do lots of exercises every day, just to keep her away from the quack. She would play loud music to drown out the noise outside at night. Nobody interfered her life. She would dance, cook and laugh everyday, and just like that, she proved to herself that she didn’t need another person to fulfill a happy life.

Moon in the river part Ⅰ (the second story I made up helping to remember the words) Today I’m going to incorporate eighteen words in one story. They are:prowl, tag along, tip one’s hand, luscious, constitutional, alley, creaky, piggyback, lingerie, hock, stash, scratch out, trifecta, ghoulish, squeamish, perfumist, in the ring and in the stand. Lucia is a girl grew up in the countryside, her parents adored her and were really protective. She would tag along her mom all day long, they just had so many topics to talk about. They truly had a happy family. But that’s not enough for Lucia and she has her own secret. Lucia always dreamed of going to the big cities, the lights shining all day and night, the clubs which are always crowded with people, the shopping malls full of beautiful dresses, they were all fascinating to Lucia. More importantly, she was tired of being a country girl, she wanted to be rich and famous, and she really believed she could do so. Lucia had a special talent with scent, and she wanted to be a perfumist. But she didn’t want so tip her hand so early, she waited, till the age of 23, and she finally got her chance to leave the small town and came to New York, big city. She could have just started her career in perfume, but soon after she came to NY, she found there were loads of easier ways to be rich and famous and she forgot what she came for. She was this luscious young blonde and she soon found herself a job as a lingerie model. It’s every girl’s dream job but the thing is, it’s not a stable one. Soon Lucia found herself short of money, she became this big city girl trying to scratch out a living, she even hocked the ring her mother gave her. So instead of fame, she started to dream of money.

Jen and Luna (A story I just made up to help remembering the words I learned) I just started watching movies and TV series without subtitle lately, yesterday I watched a comedy called ‘The Exes’. It was all right and I find myself 9 words short of understanding the whole show. They are shove over, swap, assortment, crumble, crawl, tickle, hooks, intervention, braid each other’s hair. I’ll try to make up a little story with these 9 words, so it might help me to remember it all. And also, since I’m unfamiliar with these words, tell me if I used it in a wrong way. Ok, here it goes. Jen and Luna are 2 girls grew up together, ever since they were little, they played together, they braid each other’s hair, they went shopping together and helped each other with the straps and hooks when buying dresses, they love dresses just like every little girl do. They were obsessed with assortment of clothes on display in the shopping mall that they used to spend hours in it. Jen met this man Ted at the age of 26, they fell in love very soon and swapped their rings and vows, they were married. Everyone was happy for them except Luna, she was crumbled, in a way she doesn’t even know why. Jen was not happily married either, ever since she got married, she felt there was something wrong, she doesn’t share much in common with Ted, he was a couch potato the whole time and whenever Jen wants to watch the TV, too, he shove over, they never actually talk. Soon she started arguing with Ted. Their marriage was on the edge of falling apart, at first there was intervention by relatives and friends, but it didn’t work, they had a divorce. One day after the divorce, Jen crawl out of her bed late in the morning, she remembered Luna, the time she came to her bed and tickled her, then they will laugh together, then she realized of all the time she was in love with Luna, and they are both lesbians.:0)))))))
