    Help plssssssss!

    Hey guys! I'm trying to decipher the meaning of these words (Quid pro quo gracy !) Is this Latin or Greek or Spanish ?

    Anyone out there who is kind enough to help me? Brain is a bit slow today, I just need to know what this phrase means.

    Thanks!

    its latin... meaning something for something or give and take or tis for tat or this for that or you scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours.
    God grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things i can and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people i had to kill because they pissed me off.

    quids pro quo

    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

    Gracy .... mmm ?

    That was quick. Thanks Maria or is it Matt? Should have listened intently to my lecturer whilst doing Business Law last semester. Phew! I asked because I've read something interesting on my inbox when I opened it. Now I know. Thanks again

    Quid pro quo?Isnt that what Dr Lecter said to Agent Starling?



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    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?

    The De La Cruz apartment is a part of my childhood too. And yes, Happy is Cruz not De la Cruz.
