My abuelita, who was from Jerez, used to say "El que come y canta, loco se levanta." That was because when I would visit her and have breakfast with her, I would sing or hum and wiggle around on my seat. I remember asking my tia Carmen, what that meant. I realize now, as an adult, that I needed to have it explained to me, so I could process the information. I do recall "understanding" what my abuelita said. Marge:)

wanted to let you know for future reference. For now nothing will change

in the day to day operation of the group. One project I'm going to have

I think we could be done in an hour.

Ojos Tapatios

Hi Rosalinda:
 
"Ojos Tapatios" is a great complement. I've been always
told the same thing & yes my family is from Jalisco. It is suppose to mean
that you have very large beautiful eyes. The woman from Jalisco are known to
have the large eyes (it's a trademark). . . and I don't know why but it tends to
be true if you have "Ojos Tapatios" you must descend from
Jalisco.

Tapatios

Hi folks,
 
Within a month's time, I have heard two people mention this phrase about my
eyes.  I have never heard this description before, so to hear it twice in a
month was surprising.
 
In this first instance, I was at a mall cafe waiting for my sandwich when
the sandwich maker asked me in Spanish if I was from Guadalajara, since I had
"ojos tapatios".  I told him no, and after he shook his head, I did

Ojos Tapatios

However, I have never heard of "ojos tapatios."  And I never would have guessed I have them.  Has anyone else heard of this term, and how do you define them?
Rosalinda:
 
The definition: beautiful
 
I have heard some wonderful praise about you, from Kitty Cortez, so the definition would be appropriate There is the saying about the eyes being the mirror to the soul/spirit...
Looking forward to meeting you in February.
Saludos, Helyn

HelynHERMINIAHENRIQUAHERMOSA

I vote for hermosa Herminia.  I had a g aunt with that
name.  I always thought it was pretty, but then it wouldn't work well in
the US. 
I see naming similar names in one family a lot.  My
dad has two cousins, and they are both Guadalupe and sisters.  They are
called "Las Lupes,"  and they are distinguished as Lupe grande & Lupe
chica.  The older one who I might add is also heavy set is Lupe
grande.  Not sure I would like to be distinguished in this way. 
My tios Alejandros have both passed away, but they used to distinguish them
as  Alejandro primero  y Alejandro segundo.  My
abuelito used to also refer to the first one who passed away as a baby as
Alejandro el vivo, and the second one as el Alejandro que vive.  He had a
sense of humour...

Message Archives


I have a concern and was hoping some of the more tech savy members of
the group could help me with. I don't know how to "save" the message
archives to another location short of opening each individual message
and copying and pasting them into another document. I don't want to do
that and would like to know if anyone has any ideas on how to save them
in a faster fluent procedure?


thanks,

Hi folks,
 
Within a month's time, I have heard two people mention this phrase about my eyes.  I have never heard this description before, so to hear it twice in a month was surprising.
 
In this first instance, I was at a mall cafe waiting for my sandwich when the sandwich maker asked me in Spanish if I was from Guadalajara, since I had "ojos tapatios".  I told him no, and after he shook his head, I did admit that my family was from Jalisco (my grandma was born in Totatiche, but grew up in Guadalajara).  He was quite happy, as it confirmed his description.
 
On Christmas, I went to visit the same grandma, and there visiting her was one of her friends, a Mexican lady.  My grandma was talking about me, and the lady mentioned that I had "ojos tapatios."
 
Now, my family is not just from Jalisco--- I have family from Zacatecas, Guanajuato, Aguascalientes, Michoacan, and San Luis Potosi.  So how did two different people know about my Jaliscan descent?
 
I never thought of my eyes as
