One of my college professors - Classical Greek - was of the opinion that any language with regular verbs just wasn't worth her time.
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, Toddson, I'm so sorry! That sounds like a terrible experience. I hope the physical effects are not too bad or long lasting.

FWIW - I have no idea how any non-semetic language speakers are learning Hebrew and I have mad respect for them. I suspect the "because this is how it is in this language" answers to "why is this...?" questions begin in the 10th week of class.
Sheryl, happy birthday!
May today be peaceful and calm.
And with cake!

Oh, Toddson, I'm so sorry, that sounds awful. I hope you feel better soon.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Oh Todd, that sounds terrible! I can't believe no one helped you! I'm glad you're up and doing okay. I hope the blood was the worst of it and you don't have too much residual soreness.
Happy birthday, Sheryl!
Happy belated, Drew!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh no, Toddson! That does sound terrible, and I hope you are actually OK. May I recommend some painkillers before you go to bed tonight?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Ouch, Toddson. I hope the ice helps and that you don't end up with too much stiffness or soreness.

What is even happening?
Toddson, you poor baby. I hope you feel better soon. I'm sorry no one helped you. I think everyone must be feeling extra wary because of Covid-19.
I read Natter, and stopped after Laura's post here Laura "Natter 76: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Foaminess" Apr 17, 2020 7:38:07 am PDT, so I returned to this post of yours Toddson "Natter 76: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Foaminess" Apr 17, 2020 7:49:08 am PDT:

I mean, I know as a breed, we Buffistas are precious about language, but...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Breakfast this morning would have been better if we had not cut the strawberries with the knife that was used to chop onions.
