what a dude!
zapewne jedna z wielu możliwości ;)
As it turned out, i didn't have the $20 the program cost, but the clerk payed up however much I was short out of his own pocket! What a dude! I guess if it weren't for that, I never would have got started with mapping.
Thank you so much for inviting us. TJ looks as fantastic as ever! What a dude!! Nice to see Kim again, too!

Do Teresy powyzej:
\'attaboy\' zostalby uzyty przez matke chcaca pochwalic swego syna, ktory sie dobrze sprawuje w szkole albo na boisku, i w tym kontekscie mozna sie tu doszukac podziwu, ale raczej zachety by kontynuowal tak dalej.
Nigdy bym tego nie uzyl w znaczeniu : \'Ale koles\'
Mowie oczywiscie z wlasnego doswiadczenia, i moze ktos ma inne.
Pozdrowienia
