carhelgom: jejeje

susannenyrop: we're discussing the video

susannenyrop: How do you think that Robin and Jim met?

susannenyrop: and mike asks: Who can write a question beginning with "How long"

carhelgom: it was an accident or something weird, like a car crash

susannenyrop: where was that Carmen?

susannenyrop: Oh, they met in a car crash

carhelgom: in new york

susannenyrop: and why then, do you think they do not want to tell us?

carhelgo

susannenyrop: carhelgom: becase maybe they hated each other at the begining

susannenyrop: Interesting solution

carhelgom: and now they love each other

carhelgom: well kind of tragical

susannenyrop: Yes, they're obviously in love

susannenyrop: I suppose you're getting familiar with this way of communicating

carhelgom: but maybe with the legal problem with the crash, which was quite terrible he found this so mented smart guy

susannenyrop: Oh yes, he's a lawyer

carhelgom: i knew it but i dont recieve the invitation or rather the other way

susannenyrop: what  Robing doing

susannenyrop: what was robin doing yesterday?

carhelgom: she studied and ate lunch

carhelgom: she studied so an specific field ...medieval lyric sosososoos

susannenyrop: yes something with misogyny, men hating women

carhelgom: i didnt knew that weird sentiment existed

carhelgom: we are quite sweet people

susannenyrop: Think of the Muslim regimens

susannenyrop: they often treat women ve

susannenyrop: susannenyrop: they often treat women very badly

carhelgom: thats not fair

susannenyrop: absolutely now

susannenyrop: and it used to be like that in Medieval Europe, too

susannenyrop: I mean obsolutely NOT

susannenyrop: Carmen, Carolina is calling you to the last exercises

carhelgom: medieval time is worthy as a dark period of human being, this thing confirms is. carolina is telling us to stop the chat

susannenyrop: yes, too bad

susannenyrop: see you perhaps
