Literally, "gone to Heaven" -- my wife's maiden name (unmarried -- not sure
of the Deutsch translation) is Himmel (yes, and of German decent), so I'm
well aware of the translation of that word.
So, when my (then) girlfriend and I did the things you were supposed to be
married to do, I described them as "having a piece of Heaven..."
;-) ;-) Funny, not that many people actually caught on... :-)
[[ Unforch, now that we're married, we don't seem to have *time*... ]]
The only off-topic post I have time for, so be relieved! ;-)
