I’m responsible enough at work.. Ought to be allowed a little irresponsibility when I’m off.

[TASMANIANRED]

Yeah, probably one of those cunning linguists.

[SandRat]

The Lazy-Boy has mugged me once already I’m crashing.

[HiJinx]

We got some rain here this afternoon and evening. Enough to take the dust off the truck, but not all the bug splatters from last week’s trip!

[HiJinx]

Hi, Taz. Glad tonight is better than last night.
I don’t know how you do it...

[Kathy in Alaska]

A cunning linguist....that would be my...so many new languages.

[TASMANIANRED]

Night Sandy..

[TASMANIANRED]

Last night was really a rough ride.

Disturbed my composure and that rarely happens.. I couldn’t go to sleep despite a hot soak in the tub, melatonin and sleepy time tea..

I’m pretty good at not taking work home with me but it caught me.

Couldn’t wait to see if the little elderly man survived the night.. He did..

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hmmmmm.....I think just enough rain to take the dirt off would be a good start. Good luck with the bugs. Ick!

[TASMANIANRED]

Some people have an ear for languages. I’m not one of them.

If it’s not Southern English.. I have problems..

[TASMANIANRED]

Night Kathy.

Time to take my weary self home.

Looking forward to hitting the sack...

Night All.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I can usually pick up a word or 2 or 3, but I have no knack for languages at all either.

[HiJinx]

Ah, that’s good. Really good.

I hear a little of that from Piper’s dad. He sometimes gets to double as the suicide hotline at the University. I’m fairly sure I couldn’t do that.

I like his license plate frame - “My work number is 9-1-1”

[HiJinx]

What you lack in ‘ear’ you more than make up for with ‘heart’.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night, Taz...((HUGS)) and safe journey. Sleep well!

[Kathy in Alaska]

How are you managing this evening, ms b? ((HUGS)) Having some issues with music and having to hustle.

[Allegra]

Then I heard the word Mojehad what doeas that mean?

I don't know that word; maybe it's someone's name? It's not "Mojahed," is it? If so, that's Iranian (Persian.) Or it might be Kurdish...they have a lot of Farsi mixed in their language.

Now you've got me curious...I wonder if I'll be able to pick it up locally in Baghdad?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thank you kind, Sir. Mail received today. WooHoo! I had been working on checks earlier this week til life interferred. Will be getting back to it, hopefully to be caught up this weekend.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Aloha, Hawaii....I’m glad this Friday is here. Yes, it seems ms b and my are working out crab dishes tonight. Words way over my head. LOL!!
