	Hm, alright. Well, after I sent my message to the list I decided to
google the expression (yeah, I know, I should have done it _before_ I
sent it), and out of all the sentences that came up, only 1 seemed to be
_maybe_ written by a native Spanish speaker. I then proceeded to ask an
Argentinian friend if she had heard this expression, "me da feliz", and
she was very blunt: "no creo que exista; acá por lo menos no usamos esta
expresion" (meaning "I don't believe it exists; we don't use that
expression - not here, at least").

	So, well, maybe it does exist, but at least it proves my Spanish is not
so bad. Lol.

Peace,
Ken :-)
