    Okee dokee artichokeki

  • roadrunrnch

    I was all read to say Bull Shit…….I should have known She is not dumb.
    She was just playing with us

  • James

    when you said embarassing, your chair made a fart sound. My brother choked on an apple once when he was 4 and stopped breathing and just froze, was so scary. but he coughed it up. No teachers pet today :(

  • chevolay

    Olovalicious :smile:

  • prospero811

    Wow – coincidence, Marina – when I was 6 I learned to hate asparagus, because I was eating dinner one time and choked on a piece of asparagus, and actually threw up.

  • prospero811

    To this day, I can’t and won’t eat asparagus.

  • prospero811

    Maybe this video provides an idea for another word… “Heimlich maneuver.”

  • roadrunrnch

    No more pets?
    I believe she thinks the pet thing caused hard feelings for the ones not picked. She may say Hi or comment to you. That is about all she does for now.
    Hell she likes your work. Keep that up and she will notice.

  • James

    Marina, were you eating that asparagus with a fork :?: :roll:

  • roadrunrnch

    Orlova-licious

  • James

    Oh I had just noticed there hadnt been a tp for a while, oh well no worry. as long as she keeps making her videos, i’m happy

  • orion_ss1

    As it happens, I ate some asparagus last night and I’m doing fine. :smile:

    What doesn’t kill you makes you strong ( especially if its high in iron ). :grin:

    GREEN BEANS, well that’s a different story. :sad:

    And if I ever get ahold of whoever decided that a pimento is edible, :mad: there’s going to be trouble.

  • wetsuit5

    Yeah Sister Words,

    I still wanna take you out for crepes.
    But no vegitable ones.
    Something fresh and sweet. :razz:

    Is chocking why George Bush doesn’t like broccoli? :twisted:

    I’m sure it’s because nobody could replace me. Once I finished my tenure as Teacher’s Pet, nobody else could fill the void in her heart after I was gone. She tried a couple of times, but to no avail. What can I say, I’m irresistible. It’s just the cross I have to bear. :lol:

  • chevolay

    Points off for spelling :neutral:
    Find a way to say “moose and squirrel” in one of your lessons. :grin:

    We have to be kind to artichokes, each one has a heart. :neutral:

  • prospero811

    Green beans are awful.

    Nothing holds a candle, however, to the horror show known as the brussels sprout.

    Oh, my God. There are not words to describe how repulsive brussels sprouts are. Ugh…. disgusting. I’d rather stab myself in the eye with my fork…

  • chris4782

    Another great video Marina; i would like to find out the origin of the word “scintillating”. I already know it means sparkling, twinkingling, exceptionally brilliant (just like your amazing blue eyes). Remember scintillating. Good luck with the next video im sure it will be good as always!

  • roadrunrnch

    Damn James,
    You are like a Marina magnet. You go Dude! :lol:

  • lostforwords

    I thought I knew the Italian for artichoke: il carciofo :sad: That must be middle Italian…?

  • wetsuit5

    WOW, WOW, WOW :shock:
    Has that plant taken off like a rocket. :shock: :shock:
    I think it’s jealous of the Artichoke. :razz:

  • James

    Yay. I like teachers pet then I try and find thier comment, Can i request the origin of the word “facetious” my dad says it is like I am. But I can never remember what it means. More than that I would like to know if the origin has something to do with the word “face”

    James xx

  • James

    LFW. You seem to write a lot of things in different languages. Are you multi-lingual??

    HI CAN YOU PLEASE FIND OUT THE ORIGINAL WORD FOR { STABLE }

  • James

    HAHA :razz: Filthy mind haha

  • lostforwords

    A technical-aesthetic request:

    Marina,

    When you used to record only with the Macbook cam, it was great because the distance between you and the lens was much less than it is now with the new camera.

    It meant that you could lean forward to give us close-ups of your incredible baby-blues (see naked, pedigree, and break a leg for examples). I miss those kinds of videos so much. You’re so far away now…..

    Can you set the Sony to a wider angle (not too much that it distorts) and sit closer too it? The macbook cam may have been lower quality, but it was so complementary to you.

    Will you consider it?

    ciao carciofa!

    Hi Marina,
    I was wondering if the word ‘Pneumonoultramicroscopicsiliconovolcanoconiosis’ counts as an english word?
    My english teacher made us learn it years ago and told us it was the longest word in the english language.
    Thanks,
    B

  • lostforwords

    Oh I also has to pass unseen German and Greek to pass my comprehensive exams in graduate school. Still I can’t type or proof read worrh–ineradicable dyslexia.

  • i lovemarina

    how about the origin for the word, choking?

  • i lovemarina

    I think I have the same problem

    or the word, lesson?

  • http://www.youtube.com ferasbayern

    I ASKED THIS QUESTION ON YOUTUBE AND DIDN,T ANSWER IS THERE AND WORD IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE ITS ORIGINAL FROME Russia

  • James

    There you go then perhaps you should try with a spoon, or a kinfe, actually I think eating with just a knife would be harder than with your hands.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/foxbow15 foxbow15

    wy do I always say whas, and not was ……:S

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/foxbow15 foxbow15

    You ask if there’s a word in English language that originated from Russian language?

    Ok what happened to the video. It cut off in about two minutes. The same as your’s Jack. Did Marina forget the rest of the video?

    “I am paying for this coffee” is a bit odd as an expression. If you want to pay in a restaurant, just say: mis cobras por favor: literally, my charges please.

    green beans are kinda good, but sprouts rule!!!!!! I can eat a whole pan full of them!!!

  • pedantickarl

    Yes Captn, I also had the same problem.
    I solved it by going to YT, then cleared both my browser cookies and cache and it worked fine in both Std and HQ format. It also works here now.

    Your status bar shows that it is a “Google cached” video. You may already know that Google caches content all around the world to deliver it more quickly. When the Internet gets bogged down, or routes fail, the content can get corrupted.

  • pedantickarl

    I think we are getting the video delivered via “Google Cache” and the video is corrupted. Go go YT, clear cookies, clear your cache and reload the video. It worked for me.

  • lostforwords

    Wow, that’s weird. I don’t have it yet. I am going to clear the cache and try again.

    Hi. Lastly I was wondering about word “noob”, from where does it come from? “Noob” is refer to on-line gamers, who cannot do things right and have difficulties in following simple instructions or just cheating. Why n00b? :twisted:

    She is Voodoo-ing Yoodoo :lol:

    n00b is a word I hate so much, it comes from the word newbie

  • seesixcm6

    Dear Marina, What an interesting homework assignment! I hope you get some exciting answers! I have never choked on a vegetable, and hope I never will. I kept my mother’s cooking habit of slicing vegetables to bite-sized pieces before cooking them (in water or by stir-frying). They cook faster this way and we save energy. For instance, a whole baked potato takes longer than if in smaller pieces. The only thing I ever choked on was a surprisingly small piece of salami, when I was about 11 years old. I forced myself to cough very hard and expelled it across the table! Good thing I did because my mother was coming for me with a pair of chopsticks to extract the item! Your dear student, seesix CM6

  • lostforwords

    James, I thought you were the A student in the class. Go watch the vodka video again, or you’ll never make teacher’s pet (like you’re not already :roll: ). The word vodka is not the Russian word for vodka.

  • roadrunrnch

    :shock: ?CAN JAMES MAKE THE HAT TRICK? :shock:

  • damaxterpiece

    hey hot for words i would like to know the origin of the word..”BONANZA”…

  • pennsyltucky9

    I only got through 2:20 or so before the video stopped. Apparently it won’t run to the end, even on You2b. From what I could see, it’s artistic, but it chokes in the clutch.

  • http://captainjack.ws CaptainJack

    I think her big sister (evil twin) sabotaged the video. I think she is jealous of Marina being so famous. Wait… It think im getting the twins mixed up. Marina fibbed in this video and it was her sister that corrected her. Maybe Marina is the evil twin. Hummm… I think the next time I go out with her sister I better make sure that I’m going out with the right twin, I mean left twin. OHhhhhh its so confusing! :razz: :razz: :grin:

    Can I make a hat trick?? what are you suggesting her RRR

    PT9 how do you clear the cache in IE7. I thought all I had to do was delete the history and the cookies. I must be missing something.

    “Do” can mean just about anything, don’t get too excited. :mrgreen:

    No worry’s Guys Marina caught on to my playing along time ago. Hate or love it, She just ignores it. Some are just slow to catch on. :lol:

  • pedantickarl

    Clearing cache for IE7 I think is the same as before. I don’t have it yet, but this article may help.
    http://kb.iu.edu/data/ahic.html

  • pennsyltucky9

    Whaaaaaaaaassssssssuuuuppp, Mike!

    Did you restart your browser? IE7 starts automatically on my PC, so I have to restart my machine to restart the browser. Shut it off and restart it if you can. That’s one of the things I really hate about windows. They don’t make it easy to clear the cache or delete cookies. You have to jump through a bunch of flaming hoops to get things to run the way you want them, and even then it’s a toss-up as to whether you’ll get a new improved worm or a virus on any given day. I stand by my mac, and I sit by it a lot, too!

    Being that this is an election year, I was wondering if you could explain the origins of the word “caucus” (as in “Iowa Caucus”) and how it differes from a primary (as in “Indiana Primary”). Thanks.

  • James

    mine seems ok, but i did download the vampires podcast. and all i get is the audio and the pic of marina that says sexy

  • http://fire.ci.fayetteville.nc.us/ capman911

    Thanks :smile:

  • pedantickarl

    Hi lostforwords,
    Although I agree with what you said, I think the last few videos have Marina in the perfect perspective.

    Now, what would be really interesting is if Marina shot her videos using three cameras all at the same time with different angles, like some studios do. One camera could be an ultra closeup similar to how many European / foreign films are shot. :smile:

  • lostforwords

    Right vodka is not the Russian word for vodka. That’s what the video is about. The Russian word, voda, means both water and vodka.

  • http://www.youtube.com ferasbayern

    I have tried all of that too even rebooted my computer and the video still doesn’t work. I guess we are just sol in watching this video. :???:

  • rebelliousruski

    That’s quite interesting Marina. Now I have a new question for you. Where did the words gel and jelly come from? And, why is gel spelled with a G and jelly spelled with a J if they are almost homophones.

  • smokey36bear

    I choked on a cherry tomato once

  • pennsyltucky9

    Something to do with having multiple facets, I reckon. In mainstream usage here in the states, saying “I was being facetious” is tantamount to saying “Just kidding!”

    Example:

    person 1: “Your hair looks really nice today.”

    person 2: “What? But it just caught fire a minute ago and half of it burned away!”

    person 1: “I was being facetious. Sorry. Looks like you still have one good ear left, though. Would you like some butter on that TOAST? Hahahahahaha!”

    Well, you know I don’t agree; the Macbook cam videos are the classical Marina to me. Think how close one is to laptop screen rather than to a camera 6 to 8 feet away.

    Video Playing Issues.
    Just a note for those having video playing problems. The Internet Traffic Report web site shows significant drop in performance and response times are higher and packet loss is in the 5% area, hence the video corruption. It looks like the Internet problems started around 3 AM this morning PDT

    Updating the Flash player is always a good idea and clearing your cache.

    For those still with problems, you may have to wait until the Internet stabilizes.

    AL KHARSHUF is certainly Arabic but this word was taken from another language. The only way to know the truth is to find the géographical origine of this plant. COFFEE for example comes from ETHIOPIA, CACAO from Mexico.

    I read in a Yoga book that “Guru” is Sanskrit for teacher (apparently a lot of European words can be traced back to root origins in Sanskrit) so our beloved teacher Marina is also our guru. However this raises another question,
    What is the origin of the word “Teacher”?

  • sniperskaya

    Marina, I’ve noticed that a lot of your lessons lately seem to focus on food, drinks, vampires, etc. Might our dear teacher have a bit of an oral fixation? (Please say yes, please say yes, please say yes!)
    Here’s something for you to put in your pipe and smoke – how did the word “pipe” originate?

    Hey Marina. I just discovered my marina manager (Emma) is Russian. I walked up to her today to pay on my moorage and she was talking to one of her maintenance guys in what sounded like Russian. I asked her what language she was speaking and she said Russian. So I had to mention you and your blog. Her comment was, “Now everybody is doing something on the internet now days.” Then she asked me if you where a true Russian (whatever that means). I said you where born in Russia and now living in LA, and you speak very fluently….

    Must be a lot of phony Russians out there hu? :???:

    The illusion of brown eyes was caused by the clothing she was wearing the color cone receptors of our eyes were overloaded by the blue of the blouse so that the blue of her eyes was almost imperceptible by the people viewing ( all us people watching the video) the color of her eyes in my view changed as my brain shifted its perception acuity as she was moving about while speaking.

    Listen, your first ‘bitch’ comment was direct, uncalled for and against your puss-’n-boots (junior high at best) “learn it – live it…” fake tough guy vow. You can’t claim to be in a strong state of boredom, yawn, wink to your friends and then run and hide behind your schmaltzy, two-bit persona—it’s just not genuine. Deflate your ego a little, use some of that hot air to again inflate your empty promise, you should be man/person/whatever enough to stand by your word. Or, are words just something you’re typin’ away at. I’m willin’ to smoke the peace pipe but then, the deal is, you gotta shut up.

    As for the second ‘bitch’ comment you are one squirmy little dude, to that there is no doubt, and you have no idea…Take off the shades, repent, quit wallpapering this site with your stream of unconsciousness, or your every regurgitated thought, and we can all go about our happy little exercises, n’est pas?

    Wasn’t there a song about that? Something about never put beans in your ear even though you put them up your nose instead?It must have been a trend because I remember our famlly doctor having to extract beans from someone’s nose but it wasn’t anyone related to us, just a neighbor down the street.

    My dad nearly choked when he was asleep and my sibling and I decided to see if we could shoot “baskets” using his open mouth for the hoop and cheerios for the “basketball”. Great game until one of us actually hit the “basket” and he woke up. Not a happy ending to that story.

    I was warned… “that would be disingeuous…”
    That being said, & I’m no expert. Awhile ago a friend of mine ran, & still runs a website. I asked him how he made $$ off his site, he said “If people clicked on the ads. and bought something from that site he received a percentage of the sale. So if the ads’ interest you, click away, but Marina, or whoever is responsable for the ad. content won’t get to accurately guage the response to the ads. if the clicks are just random. So if Marinas site is to be the best it can be, let her know the stuff you’re interested in, with a genuine click or comment etc.
    Hey if I’m wrong let me know…

    In Ohio and Indiana, institutions
    were created for the orphans of
    soldiers and sailors lost in the
    Civil War. These were architected
    by Abraham Lincoln himself.
    The Ohio Soldiers and Sailors
    Orphan’s Home was a self
    contained community including
    a power house, academic school,
    trade school, church, armory,
    hospital, dairy farm, pig farm,
    acres of farmland, administration
    building, dining hall, parade grounds,
    and cottages for four hundred
    kids age K – 12th grade.
    “The Home Revue” was a
    periodical produced on site
    by the print shop class,
    written by the journalism
    class. In the first edition (1865?)
    was an article discussing the
    coining of a new word “newkie”
    in describing the new kids
    as they were cycling in.
    The state sold the place off
    during the Carter years to

    Owls have great night vision with super large pupils. They do have some problem with bright lights, but more likely the problem was their other Achilles heel. When they fixate on a target, like a mouse, they get tunnel vision and lose focus on danger around them. I have seen people catch owls by just putting a mouse on a string and hold a net near it. When the owl notices the mouse it completely forgets about the human it just saw standing there and will land on the mouse and get caught.

    NICE HUMOR. WHAT ABOUT THE ORGIN OF THE WORD “PIPE DREAM” MY GUESS IS THAT IT WOULD SOMEHOW REFER TO OPIUM DREAMS FROM LONG AGO IN THE DAYS OF OPIUM DENS.

    Hi ferasbayern,
    Marina means she is my future ex-girlfriend.
    Just kidding, you’ll see what I mean when you watch this video.
    Marina explains the meaning of her first name at 1:31 min.
    It’s in the “Honeymoon Pt2 / Happy Holidays” video.

  • pedantickarl

    Hi TongueTwislers, it’s a widespread problem having mainly to do with YouTube and not this site. Also, the Internet is having issues as a whole.
    You can go to YouTube and select the HighQuality version of the video and it will play fine as it comes from a different server than the Std version. Also, make sure you have the latest Flash player.

    Dear Hotforwords:

    Per your advice I went to the Maxim Radio site to listen to the Hotforwords broadcast.

    It was quite enjoyable but it made me wonder why a Radio Station would be called: “MAXIM”

    Would you please investigate the word: “MAXIM” and let me know the origin of this word and why a Radio Station would want to me called: “Maxim” Radio?

    Thank you

    Still holdin’ back are ya? You commented, I responded; but you’re just playin’ for the crowd… Get off your Pogo Stick and stand on your own two feet. I was ‘itching’ for a fight, no, but I find your Romper Room tactics fascinating, you call something outta the woods only so you can play dead.

    Sorry that I won’t visit your links and entertain whatever you’ve concocted, you’re the type who’d rifle through the drawers in a person’s house. Maybe PCs are too powerful for your character, traipsing through subjects and areas too lightly, maybe this World was better-off when people like you just carried clipboards and a pencil.

    Link, comment, whatever, dip your brush & paint me however you’d like. Commenting can actually be great, and thoughtful commenting is just that—thoughtful, but you’re a commenter run amok and eventually, in all your wonderful over activity, poison for a site like this—which is too bad.

    Well, with this subject and YOU I am done, DUN, done. Which for me means (unlike your past performance) no little chicken comments post facto, no lurking, games, no you get the ‘last’ word but not living by it etc., done.

    Wait in the weeds all you’d like, but I really think we should both move on, and I still wish you a good long life with many growth spurts.

    .Of course it’s not the first and I never said it was the most used or even the best example of Do’s use. This all stems from a cute little thing Marina said; I’ll be DOING teachers pet shortly. And my remark: I never knew how important being the pet was .( paraphrasing ) But that is all it was.

    Marina – I think you should have a separate site on words relating to vampires. Think of it: Hot for Vampires. Just he name is very evocative, even if you aren’t hot for vampires and I assume you are not. But they are very trendy right now. I have no idea why.

  • whitebyrd

    Very interesting excuse; my only problem with it is it’s only Hot For Words Videos that are affected! Oh the other HFW video that choked was Bluetooth!

Gee do think YouTube is discriminating against Hot for Words? And I have tried again & again on Bluetooth, but not yet on this one!

    Let me know your thoughts on both of these things.. does the login thing work like before and generic icons or random monster icons?

    I have never risked to choke with vegetables but when i was four years old, i was on the mountains with my father far from everything and from everyone and i was going to die choked by a plum stone…my father managed to save me at the very last possible moment with the force of despair… i was blue almost lifeless,i looked death into her eyes…but thanks God i’m still here now.

    Yes subverse, I am also having the problem in So. Calif – sporadically.
    It is mainly YouTube issue, and Internet high packet losses in certain areas don’t help. Besides that, Anaheim has a router out of commission.

    I just sent another message to YouTube about this problem. Their Help system is very deficient and it appears they are trying to fix that also.

    Hey, melika
    I know you are in Fla. What server are you receiving this video from?

    Also, the caption for the video uses the word ‘hense’ is this an Americanism? or just a spelling mistake? I only ask because I’ve just finished watching the latest Teacher’s Tip which promotes a grammar and spelling checker, then I saw this caption – it made me chuckle. :)

  • sweet2

    I need the answer to this, teacher, it’s driving me bananas [oops]!
    Here it is:

    When you have had a good time, a wonderful time doing something [like breakfast at the Blujam?]…
    then it may be said that you have had a whale of a time.

    A WHALE OF A TIME ?

    What does a whale have to do with this? If it’s the whale who swallowed people, it doesn’t sound like fun. Where is this whale, anyway? Was there a whale-sighting somewhere, I mean, a sighting of a very very special whale? Well, what did they see that was so special with this whale? Why did this warrant bringing his name, and this very idea, into eternity? Enshrined in language just ‘cos he’s a lousy fish? I don’t think so! It’s also not fun to be caught in a whaling ship, it’s not fun to be burned for heat and oil, and it’s certainly no fun to sacrifice body parts for the fertility rites of another species!

    Please help me out, I really could go bananas!

    Regards,
    Sweet2

  • pedantickarl

    Hi whitebyrd,
    I hate to disappoint you, but YouTube’s reply to my email confirms that the video problem is on their end. It only affects certain caching servers. Not everyone in the US is affected by the problem as there are many caching servers out there.

    conntype: cable/DSL
    errormsg: Video jumps to end
    known_issue: yes

    I think this would be a perfect opportunity for you to apologize to Marina for your arrogant inconsiderate remarks.

    By the way, Marina is more technically savvy than you could ever hope to be.

Or is it your all just Hot For Marina; go take a cold shower! Aloha~

    LMFAWO; you yahoos are a trip! Now to set the record straight; 1: I’m a retired Web Master living in Paradise in the South Pacific. I use a Mac Server and a T3 wireless broadband ramp to the net. 2: Spend most of my time on the net’s largest 3D Virtual World designing for fun, speculating on virtual land for profit. When I’m not there I’m in another social networking site that is a Virtual Bar; making new friends & entertaining old ones with Vlogs. 3: I repost Marina’s Hot For Words there for the past two months, every day for entertainment purposes solely. I became a member here to be a Critic, which apparently her viewership’s skin is too thin to tolerate. She hasn’t asked me to leave or complained on my words here! So get a life Kiddies & Suck it Up! Aloha~ :twisted:

  • http://www.hotforwords.com Marina

    Whitebyrd.. sorry that you are having issues with my videos lately.. others seem to be having the same problem, but the only problem is that nothing has changed on my end at all.

    I complained to YouTube but their response is that they cannot replicate it. I cannot replicate it on my end either, which is a problem…. as it’s hard to solve the problem when you can’t replicate it… so I don’t know what to do, other than hope that YouTube fixes the problem somehow, by mistake perhaps.

    Oh it looks like pedantickarl got even more info.. to do with their caching servers which would make sense that they couldn’t replicate it as they were not using those servers.

  • http://www.hotforwords.com Marina

    whitebyrd, you are correct… my website is hosted on my own server that is maintained by the hosting company… but it still requires me alerting them to problems when they happen.. and the only thing they fix are core computers functions… so any time to encounter issues, I appreciate the heads up! :-)

    Now, don’t go getting into arguments here… there have been some really nasty people that have made their way over here from YouTube… and I think people here are trying to keep it a little more civil than what you find on YouTube.. so that may be why there might be an overreaction at times to what people say!

    The people here are actually pretty cool.. so please give them a chance! I think you can have some fun here!

    By the way.. glad to see that you are a mac guy! I am mac all the way as well!! So much better than pc!!

    I think your sage is needed here. A few 24 hours-a-dayers are taking over this site as they comment on everything, always.

  • whitebyrd

    I left you a nice video response Marina but I don’t see it so I suppose your site doesn’t allow such things! But I’m sure you saw it. You know when I was doing web site design & virtual web hosting & e-commerce; I would use every browser that was available to see how my builds appeared on all platforms. It was much easier to tweak the code before I uploaded, than to have the client emailing me with a complaint. From what you’ve related to me, I suspect a line of code is the guilty errant between HFW & YT! Have your programmer clean up the code & I bet these problems will cease to exist. Aloha~

  • whitebyrd

    Been with Apple since the Lisa, even did telephone tech support for one of the larger Mac resellers. I think I need to qualify one thing, my server is the next to the last model Apple made using the Motorolla processors. They run extremely fast & Hot (this is why Apple switched to the Intel chip) but I have two in my server & they both have their own water jacket to keep them cool like your car has a radiator to keep it cool. I’m a tie-dyed in the wool mac man (not many of us left) since the Intel inside happened. I won’t buy a new mac now; the intel makes too many math errors for my tastes. I buy old mac & upgrade them to my specs & eat Intel macs & pcs for breakfast! Aloha~ :twisted:

  • whitebyrd

    okay4now Mahalo for the Heads Up on the, what did you call them. ‘Minions’! I was making my bones on the net when these Minions were learning which way to wipe. They had better clear a path, for the Big Cat is on the prowl here now & as anyone has seen I won’t tolerate any sh*t on my watch. I always can give better than I get but cross me at your mortal peril. 24/7 would make them hackers or unemployed slackers either way they’re no threat & if they’re the latter, they won’t be here long. It take money to access the net & when that runs out they’ll be history out looking for a job or panhandling on the corner for food. Look for all intents & purposes this is a discussion thread; unless your in the computer or software business would you care from a business perspective? The problem wouldn’t exist in those two cases. This site has turned into a Social Networking meeting ground; while I don’t think that was Marina’s intentions at the onset. Like many of us web publishers, she was seeking content for her HFW Videos! Aloha~ :twisted:

  • blueskies13

    is aspsarigus related to artichoke

  • mrchex

    Ah. that was amusing thank you

  • okay4now

    Yeah, creating a private (members only) site & trying to consider how to theme & set a discussion thread type atmosphere without an active ‘cop’, and I agree it would not be the same issue as here but I won’t stand for any of it and I could see how it could develop, even on a small scale, as friendships turn into some cliche of the teenage years–and it is based on a professional trade so the problem would be different but in creating a positive freeflow area that is welcoming I see a big benefit & victory. I trust Marina will get ahold of it at HFW, (she has massive volume feeding into this site from youtube) and it’s painful to watch it being so actively chased away by future panhandlers…cheers!

    Hum, I think it is just a botanical code for specific plants, mabe when they match in some attributes or what else. I found a site that holds some botanical code …….(whatever). I think they just gave the name to place them into a class of plant, so there won´t be any background info on the word I think.
    There truly are flowers that match to a specific symbol, e.g. Sun or whatever…but I think sinesis is just a code.

    If Marina find something she can disabuse us/me.
    (hope it´s the right English grammar :mrgreen: )

  • tedt

    Hum, sinesis…sinensis, the only background info you will get is as I mentioned it in a other comment……no word was spoken without a reason, the only info on thisone is the code I think, “a classification or family for their attributes, or…..whatever”.

    Stomp me if I´m wrong :mrgreen:

    One time I choked on a soy wrap while eating a piece of sushi. It got caught in the back of my throat and I couldn’t cough it out. So I had to use my fingers to reach back there and yank it out. Irritated my throat all night.
    And this part isn’t a vegetable or exactly choking, but recently I had an incedent while eating a white peach. Before I had a chance to swallow what I was chewing, I laughed at a joke and it went up my nose. It’s not a pleasant feeling, it is kinda of similar to getting water up your nose, but a little bit more acidic. It took me over an hour before I could completely blow it out of my nose. The biggest chunk of peach was about 3/4 of a cubic inch. I know, it’s disgusting.
