"D'oh!" is a word taken from pop-culture (The Simpsons!) and is like saying "Oops!" but in a more oafish way.

Do you know about a saying that it says (The distance never will be an impediment.

Then if you are so far away to me, it does not matter because the distance does not make the different.

Sometimes I don't understand you, and please, don't get angry again

¿Cómo lo dirías en español?, ¿algo así como la distancia no es/hace la diferencia?

I must beg your pardon, but it's true, I don't understand you when you write in English, sorry! That's the reason because I told you that you made me laugh (or better, smile) because I remember a little child starting speaking when I read your posts. Anyway, I know I haven't a good English either. But it's hard for me to understand you when you write in English.

No, I told you that I didn't get angry easily, though I'm a prudent person.

What does a beanpole mean?

Rusty has a spectacular aura aboutRusty has a spectacular aura about
Estar feliz como una lombriz (literally, to be happy as a worm) is an idiomatic expression, Luis. You must find an equivalent expression in English instead of trying to translate the expression literally. We never say we're happy as a worm in English.
Look here for a suitable equivalent.

A beanpole is a pole (un poste) used to support the vine(s) of a bean plant. I believe you say emparrado for a beanpole. The word, in English, can be used to describe a tall and slender (alto y espigado) person:
He's as skinny as a beanpole.

The my answer must to be I'm happy as a clam.

I didn't know anything about the word beanpole, because I found the word inside of the dictionary from Tomismo and the result was beanpole for lombriz, I'd like that if you can check it in the dictionary for that the people does not make confuse between the words or meanings.
