Good maen everyone! How are you doing?
It has rained at the morning here, and now we are having some womderful temperature (around 22°C)

Edited: I threw a small tantrum today bacause I accidentally dropped a big cut of watermelon to the floor. Of course, it cause a bit of problem, first because I had to cut and discard a part of the watermelon. And I had to collect and throw to the garbage all the small bits of watermelon spread in the floor and, of course, wash the floor and make sure there is nothing left. Obviously, I swore a lot, which reminds me to share that we Argentinian swear a lot. It is always fun to see the articles/news about USA and how some profanity is considered such an awful thing there.

In another side note, profanity has the same root that the Spanish "profanidad" or "profano" which are used for something against religion, a sort of sacrilege, not something against morality or being a prude. A blasphemy in the strict religious sense.

Maen all, hey Otlan. *waves*
Sounds like a wonderful place to live Dina :D
Some things just rub you the wrong way and the only relief is cursing out loud. Very satisfying. Also "Profano" sounds very close to "Profane" in English, which has the same meaning that you explained.
Minion earned a nice juicy dinner today and yesterday, as she successfully hunted down two mice from my room. Yesterday was a regular kill, with her sniffing the mouse and locating it, and me moving furniture and junk around to give her easy access till snap-gulp-thank you for joining us for breakfast, we enjoyed your company.
Today though was a bit special, woke up late, and was drinking a bottle of water and rubbing her back. She was relaxed and purring and everything, when she suddenly disappeared from under my hand, and 200 milliseconds later she was 3 meters away catching a mouse that just streaked along the wall. She was very proud of that kill, played with it and kept getting my attention for half an hour, showing me her good work before she finally ate it. (Red carpet-woohoo). It was the fastest I ever saw her move.

Hello people.

Fcrate, I can't help but feel sorry for the mice, but I am happy for minion, and I am glad you rewarded her. She is doing very well.

Otlan, oh, luckily I had saved a good slice of watermelon before the debacle. And about swearing, of course there are some degrees, and obviously you can't do it in very formal situation, but if you are at work, drop something to the floor and swear, nothing happens. And in normal conversations with friends, coarse words are very, very common. Sometimes there is nothing better to express yourself.

LOL! yes, it was delicious.
And it would be nice to see you here.

Weather has been much nicer, with some hours of 13°C, with is clearly low for this time of the Summer, so I am pleased. They are forecasting a hot day tomorrow but it is ok because we had that break.

To be honest, Otlan, I just discard the seeds. Nothing creative or anything. And about the weather, I can't complain. This has been a much better Summer than the few previous ones. It was high time, those years I've felt that I was living in the Equator itself.

I've had a weird time with swearing in the military. In a regular line unit, where it's just soldiers, no one really cares. But once you get to a higher echelon unit, like where I'm at now, and there's civilians working with us, all of a sudden it's not okay.

My supervisor pulled me aside when I first got here, and he told me to stop swearing before one of the civilians files a complaint with HR. My reply? "Since when has the army had fucking HR?!"

That supervisor gave up on getting me to stop swearing pretty quick.
Some people are like slinkies; they're utterly useless, yet you can't help but smile as they fall down the stairs.

Hah! You remind me of my childhood. Had those all the time. My brother used to mime a crank with his hand next to his ear and start spitting seeds like a gattling gun. :D
