Dear Sarah:
Please dont read posts of Arrabal, you die and you do not understand them. If you want, I can give U some "total" lessons of Spanish, but the "real hard spanish",, the mero mero petatero (not traslate). I´m not writer, I pray God that is it never, works like donkey and spend like rich man although it follows equal of poor man.

apparently work in a financial group in Puebla.

sorry by my bad english

Sarita:
y eso que no has leído los posts de Arrabal, te mueres y no los entiendes.

Cuando quiera usted le doy unas lecciones muy claras de lo que es el español, pero el macizo,,, el mero mero petatero.

no soy escfitor, quiera Dios que no lo sea nunca, solo trabajo como burro y gasto como rico aunque siga igual de pobre.

dizque trabajo en un grupo financiero.
