OFTR – Why not just have one word for everything? It would make learning other languages very easy. But I bet bbbBertie would still get it wrong..

Roy – Do you think so?

Ian – That is good!! Tell your friend he is doing a great job of child rearing.

Here is nice lullaby if you should wake up tonight.

It was sent by the eleven year old son of a friend in England.

I just hope Ian doesn’t shop in Lidl then.

Wouldn’t bother me though. I can speak, eat and drink in German. And herself can fart in Russian. Impressed?

As for computers – ?????

Alan – That’s good. Worrying is getting less severe, so? I’ll postpone my worrying until next year so…

Brian D – That’s too big for me. I’d do myself some damage. I’ll leave that to Bad Ambassador. He seems to be a professional worrier?

Good to see people still worry about the little things!

Word History: Worrying may shorten one’s life, but not as quickly as it once did. The ancestor of our word, Old English wyrgan, meant “to strangle.” Its Middle English descendant, worien, kept this sense and developed the new sense “to grasp by the throat with the teeth and lacerate” or “to kill or injure by biting and shaking.” This is the way wolves or dogs might attack sheep, for example. In the 16th century worry began to be used in the sense “to harass, as by rough treatment or attack,” or “to assault verbally,” and in the 17th century the word took on the sense “to bother, distress, or persecute.” It was a small step from this sense to the main modern senses “to cause to feel anxious or distressed” and “to feel troubled or uneasy,” first recorded in the 19th century.

No point in me trying to get anything else done today – i have mysteries of the world to mull over.
