    REX MORGAN: I don’t think June should show up in her bikini with those wild parties.

    MARY WORTH: I think Jim is falling for Dawn.

    APT3G: It seems like Evan’s aunt is an instigator.

    SALLY FORTH: Isn’t it enough that Sally and Ted paid for Sally’s sister’s wedding – now all the relatives are really taking advantage.

    REX MORGAN: @ SWEETBILL: Los Angeles (Hollywood) is only about 2 – 2 1/2 hrs. by car from San Diego. Might Rex & June have time to drive north and visit Iris before flying home? Maybe they’ll at least find time to call (Iris) and find out how the “Chasing Mildred” screenplay is coming along. MARY WORTH: @ Arye: You may be right. FUNKY W: Living here in South Florida, I enjoyed seeing the autumn leaves in today’s strip.

    Foxtrot – In Panel 2 Paige says, “What the heck is this?” In the Spanish strip it’s “Que Diablos es esto?” which translates to “What the Devil is this?”

    REX MORGAN: I like Florchi’s idea about checking in on Iris if they get the San Diego situation resolved. Florchi, you don’t have Autumn where you live?EDGE CITY: in today’s strip, mom and her daughter Carly are discussing Jewish high holidays. They both have blond hair. Arye, can Jewish people have naturally blond hair? (the name Carly has “Nobody Does it Better” by Carly Simon in my head today, I’m going to listen to some other music to try to get it out!)

    @TEH: Last year I was on the main street of Ft. Lauderdale and saw a tree with the most beautiful purple flowers (I think the tree was called Jacamel?). I loved the color so much that if I ever repaint my apartment, I will want one room to be the colorof those flowers.

    @TEH: I was born with blond hair and so were many of my relatives. My mother’s family came from Galicia (south-east Poland) and during the hundreds of years that Jews lived in Poland some Polish genes crept in.

    Rex – Are “the girls” the tenants? Maybe they think they are paying the rent some other way.Judge Parker – Sam looks amused, but it’s a dangerous situation. He knows about the “farm” so both he and Avery have to be kept quiet.Mary Worth – Beginning love or just appreciation.A3G – But what is she instigating?

    I posted this earlier, but did not want to direct it to andrelguera. No need to blame the messenger.

    Apparently, the censor isn’t working. I assume andrelguera knows idioms well, but I think David’s translation is literally correct and andre includes it as one possible translation. I also agree with JanCinLV; I’m one of those “older folk” who thinks it’s too bad that word has become so over-used. Young people need to improve their vocabularies.“carajos” – apparently reference to body parts and functions is common in all languages. In the book “Congo” by Michael Crichton, the ape who had been taught a number of words using sign language, when angry said “go to the bathroom on yourself”. She had never been taught that combination of words. It just comes naturally.

    @andrelguera, I also appreciate your help with translations. Did you catch the August 18 strip. Paige to Jason: What are you ordering? Jason: “Chicken jerk” [sounding like he is ordering chicken and calling Paige a jerk or bum, bobo]. Jason then adds: I mean “jerk chicken” [a kind of barbecue]. In the spanish version, both terms were translated “la pizza boba”. This totally misses the joke. How would you translate this?
