don't mention Ward
if we're here it's to share our passion and
also to share our qualities or capacities
for instance .... the one of my sweet wife

but very pleasant when some one thanks

my translator
noticed those two letters without knowing the signification
and told me that sometimes for embellishment it's wasn't rare
to be honest, she's not a specialist,
even she's graduated from Cairo University
her field being the public-relations

but you, Ward, from where are you from ?

So it was you!

I go often to Cairo and the last time I noticed that even the very overpriced kaskaras they were no more

Are you sure about the law? I thought it was something like 200+ years old. I buy antiques of 19th century easily (when I find them)

what I'm roughly sure, excepted if the law has been modified recently,
- 80 OR 100 years, but not more
