Wash ,'War Stories'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
A "Hamish" person makes a place cozy and makes the people around her feel cozy.
In Romanian this person would be called a "gospodina." There is a masculine form (gospodar), but it's more about the homestead more than the home.
Funding~ma, Seska!
And much luck, Shir.
And Jilli, yes, I'm glad you did it. I hope no one will be so thoughtless and rude as to say anything, but if they do, you know we'll rip 'em a new one. Politely, of course.
Oh, dear God, why can't there be a social worker who's not an asshole? Of course, last time we met, he actually stood up for the Hayes code. I should feel sorry, being that he's the most obvious closet case since Ricky Martin,(way not as cute..way) but Jesus Christ! Sign my paperwork and go away, Garment Bag!
Wait, how do you tie your shoes, Laga? Inquiring minds need to know!
I'm trying to find a video but they all start halfway.
Basically the firt knot is the same as the one that makes the bow but you pull the ends all the way through. It's really fun to show drunk people, then try and splain them how to do it.

OK, Erika, I just choked myself laughing at that last bit.
Okay, that's how I tie my shoes. I think it's awesome. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't some *other* awesome way to tie shoes I was missing. I really hate tying my shoes. I spend a lot of time trying to find shoes that don't require tying. My favorite shoes of all time were the awesome pair of lace-less Doc Martens I had in the nineties.
shoelace sistahs!
there is a lot of back-door Yiddish in Israeli English. So you may have heard more Yiddish than you think.
I'd love to hear more. I didn't know that (though it makes sense for more religious Jewish-Israelis, but I was brought up in a very secular house, and in the secular education stream [there are few streams in education in Israel. One can choose where to send their children to. Not that the secular stream is that secular, but you study Bible for an hour or two per week and not for 6, 12 or more]).
And yes, Yiddish is a mix of English and German written in Hebrew.
And sorry to hear about the pita social worker.

Oh, God. Wow.
Seems like the Montreal option becoming a bit more realistic. An email singing my praise was just sent to the directors (I was cc'ed).
So, umm, anyone's available to check the CV I'm about to send to them? And to pinch me? I know it's still only an option, but I'm gobsmacked. This is so unreal.

Also a whole lot of Polish, and a few other languages.
