Hooray for wonderful words! Shiremom used to call Pelinti "pizza palate", and we always regretted eating so hastily.

I liked the first one very much. I totally get grief bacon.

And : Iktsuarpok (Inuit) repeatedly going outside to see if the person you are expecting has shown up yet

I call that "the Wait" I like Iktsuarpok better.

Those were GREAT. Thank you!!! :)

Weren't they fun? You are most welcome.

The translations are so poetic.

[hanarobi]

And I love that these feelings have such universal recognition. The translations are definitely a joy.

Haha. Cool to know there are so many words world-wide that express these things.

I do love being reminded in such a clever, fun, interesting way that we are all pretty much the same, the world over.

I just discovered that at some point in the past I had unsubscribed from your journal, and I have no idea why. That is why I missed all your news from the spring.

I'm so sorry about that.

Anyway. Now I'm reading you again. I cannot figure out how I did that and it was not intentional.

Hope you and your family are hanging in there. All well here so far.

ETA: And those words were hilarious. I loved Grief Bacon too.

Hey hey, heard from a friend of yours that you had been unwell, and wanted to drop you a few lines wishing you well and offering to send you pictures of fanart, or baby ducks, or memes - whatever your jam is. I have lots of comforting things to share, and I will share them with you if you like.
