Could ask if she and her son wants to get dinner sometime with you and your son. As long as it's a pretty inoffensive family restaurant, that shouldn't be too forward. From there you can get a better understanding of her situation.

If not fluent, yes you'll have a hard time. I've been there and outside of the tourist areas, people either can't or won't speak English.

I do recommend the USVI if the language barrier is a problem.

I had a disc-based MP3 player. The looks on my friends faces when I had 150 songs on my discman and they had 12.

Don't threaten me with a good time.

The thing about Seinfeld and other comedians who aren't as popular anymore is that they blame the audience for not liking their material. Tastes change over time. The comedian either needs to change their act or live with the consequences that people aren't going to like their material as much.

Rodney Dangerfield was a great comic for his time. If someone tried to tell the same jokes today, I don't think he'd get very far. That's not the fault of the audience. It's the fault of the comedian. No one owes you a laugh.

I'm O- so I give two units of red cells and get saline and the plasma/antibodies back. The guy at the donation site says "make sure you don't drink any alcoholic beverages for 24 hours...but you can have one if you want." He looks back to see if his manager is around and then whispers "you can have two but don't leave the house."

These people should have their children taken away from them.

Not the Onion, but still great satire.

He prefers a woman who is "damaged" because he thinks she'll put up with being treated like a broodmare.

The concept of rewatching a movie is almost foreign to me now given that I have access to a library of tens of thousands of movies. It would have to be very good and something that whoever I'm with hasn't seen.

Of course I used to watch the same movie about every month or so back when I was growing up in the 90s.

Back when I worked at Burger King in high school, there was me and a stoner running the late shift. I'm running the drive through and the guy wants a Whopper, plain but heavy, heavy, heavy, [...], heavy, heavy pickles. I push the "heavy pickles" button about 7 times. He probably said it 15-20. The stoner starts giggling and says "I'LL GIVE THIS FUCKER JUST WHAT HE ASKED FOR." He proceeds to put, easily, 100 pickle slices on the sandwich. At this point it's a pickle burger with a little meat. It goes out the window and we go about our day.

Manager gets a call about 15 minutes later. Guy calls in and asks to talk to the person who made his sandwich. Manager says "sigh, what did he do this time?" Guy says he's been eating at Burger King for 15 years and this was the first person to make his Whopper the way he wanted.

Yeah I think Arch is fine, but I'd never recommend it to a new Linux user.
