Welcome to Windlyn and sleep well. There is ONE game I play once in a while. It's an amusing parody involving the Serbian president but is actually addicting once you start playing.

Gingerale:
To the border of alcoholism. Thank you for the warm welcome. How are you?

galled:
While it's true that other languages better encapsulate emotions in their words, I know plenty of native English speakers who can express themselves without a problem. Russian has words that can't be perfectly translated into English because the translation lacks the appropriate depth and emotion. The meaning and emotion in a piece of art is open to interpretation, so it could be easier to be "lost in translation" through art than language.

I absolutely agree. That's what I've been saying for a long time.

Sorry to hear it. It's the pollen? Is there something that helps with your allergies? I haven't been up to anything. Getting by day to day.

Good to see you back! And I'm glad you came back from the border of alcoholism, that's not a very good place to be at! I have seen people cross the border and struggle to come back.

Can't remember if you were looking for work? Sometimes one day seems to blur into the next, to be broken up by special events..a flurry of action and then a lull.

That was an exaggeration; I was not struggling with alcoholism though at the rate I'm going, it wouldn't be far off lol.

What kind of work do you do that is so monotonous?

Oh good... having had family that struggled with alcoholism its not a pretty picture - probably why I never went down that road- and why I worry when others seem to be.

My customers are actually entertaining, their lives are like a soap opera really. Mundane is just the routine of the day, day in and out routine working with no breaks and sometimes I work six days a week so I get tired. But I have a job that pays the bills and provides retirement and health benefits which are costly if you don't have any coverage. And I can save some money to sometimes do something fun with family or friends.

Yes, mostly pollen. Grass in particular although the winds have picked up quite a bit, so I'm sure there's a bit of everything getting in my eyes and nose. I just went out for about an hour today (and just walking to my car and into the store and back and I'm a wreck.

I take allergy pills, but there are some days every few years where the pill don't help much.

Re: Alcohol--please be careful. It is addicting no matter what people say.

I did, I slept until 11am lol XD
Hmm, well, it sounds amusing from what you said XD

[Gingerale]

Hope you have been staying injury free - did all the other sprains etc heal up ok? Or are you still having residual affects from the injuries?

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Have you been doing any travels?
