Got MORE rain yesterday.....whee!

The last I heard, twenty cars were destroyed by that wildfire....our sudden rain put it out, thankfully......I do not believe that there were any fatalities......hope not .

I am so enjoying the overcast and coolness and dampness.....I Shall pretend I am in an Oregonian forest!

If you ever want rain Sylkat, just come and visit me during your summer (our winter). We normally have plenty.

Oh well, I have come to this. I need walking aids, like the one in the picture. Some of you may already know that I am an exceptionally tall man for my age, I am 2 meters and I weigh 100+ kg. No wonder I'm suffering from ... is the word osteoarthritis? The 4x4 walker didn't cost me a penny, the society pays the bill.

Sorry to hear that Krabo. I recall that the world's tallest man had back problems and the photos show him with a stick.

I am glad that you have financial help for your medical needs.......many people in America have to fight and argue

with government assistance for any and everything !

I'm sorry to hear you need that, Krabo. I'm glad you (both of us really) live in welfare society though.

Thank you all for your concern. -- Sylkat, yes I knew that much of how things are in the US. These remote corners in the world may not be the best places to live, but one things is sure: you get medical help when you need it. Nonbody asks you any question of insurance card.

I see. I have made incredible vocabulary mistakes. How can it be? Of course it is different to say something in a language not your own, but I must consentrate every time I type any word. I check them, recheck, re-recheck. It takes time. I would like to say something in my own language. Perskeles!

That doesn't translate on my programme. Doesn't inspire my confidence in said programme!

Just drop the s's and you will soon have an answer.

Just testing the signature thinhgy. If it shows, it just shows. If not, then not.

'East Of Eden' is a book by Steinbeck.

Your signature is quite clever.

Ah, the first Finnish word I learned minus the 2 's'! Picked it up from some book decades ago My second word: kilpikonna. The two should never meet.

No they shouldn't!

Latvia and Finland were the last two European nations to adopt Christianity, Finland in the 1150s and Latvia a hundred years later. Our language didn't know dirty words, or sacred words, for that matter, so we took them from our neighbors. Latvian language has been a fruitful source. The most used Finnish dirty word, perkele, has its origins in the Latvian deity Perkunas.

Interesting. And from what I understand, Finland is still quite a religious country.

Compared to the rest of us heathens.
