Bandidos not Banditos

LOL, I was just channel surfing and I came across a movie called Bandidos, so I looked it up. It is spelled with a D instead of a T.

as far as that goes, i wonder if it's bandidos de mayo!! :scared2:

LOL -- It is! I'll change it in the siggy, and if you want to copy and paste the new one, feel free!! :eek:

to further complicate matters, i realized today that the female version would be bandida!! :sad:

ah well... i just put it under my avatar. :eek:

You're right, it would be bandida for female, but for a group of mixed people, it would still be bandidos. However, you are also right that it should be "de Mayo" -- how quickly I forget my basic Spanish. LOL

So, I am again changing my siggy, so if anyone wants to copy and paste into their siggy, feel free. :eek:

awesome, ann!

thanks for making a new banner! :eek:

No problem! I had to have something to do now that I'm back at work! LOL

Ugh... I really want to be back at home lying down on the couch!!!! My tummy hurts!

John was the first of us May folks to post so he got to choose the name.

The technical way to say it was considered but it was decided that Mayo Bandidos was a short and fun name.

If I have a vote I would rather not see the name change now.

Got approval last week but I have been really busy moving my 88 yr old dad from CA to PA.

I haven't had time to think about myself and have not posted in awhile.

I didn't have to stress on approval because they sent everything in to Highmark BCBS a week before I thought they would. When I got home from CA a letter was in the mail. I am on schedule for 5/27 and really have the jitters now.

I have been reading everything everyone has been posting and I really appreciate everyone taking the time to share their experience.

Hope everyone is doing well and good wishes to those still waiting.

True, true! So, let's give a SHOUT OUT TO JOHN!!!! and ask him what he would like to do. I don't mind changing it back. It's easy to do! :eek:

That's funny, I've been thinking the same thing... and craving Fritos!!!

with chili... and cheese...

omg... where's my yogurt??!! :eek:

Aaaaack ! You are reading my mind!!!! :eek:

Funny, keep us posted- I'd like to change mine if needed. =)

I still like Banditos, although if we are being correct with Spanish it should indeed be Banditos de Mayo.

Why do I like Banditos? Because -ito or -ita means "little" in Spanish. And I sure like the thought of being a little Bandster... :redface:

But I'm too lazy to go change my banner... haha. Too much energy spent at the gym!! Yayyy!

Kellster, you are so right! I hadn't thought of that!!! I love that it means little! I vote to keep it the way it was spelled.

John, you out there??? Let us know what you think! :redface:
