is A Latin phrase meaning "something for something".
This term is typically used in financial circles to describe
a mutual agreement between two parties in which each
party provides a good or service in return for a good or service

Aunt Celia used to be a close friend of my mother, they both worked in Dole before. Her husband is very famous in town as he's the one circumcising all the boys there.

I remember all those Xmas caroling when we were younger, I can't believe it's that so long ago. Marisol was a quiet girl and was only allowed to play with us for a certain number of hours (she's an only child). Marife or Maribeth is she still in Germany? I wonder what happened to Vicky Corporal?
