Well.......to me, air attendant= flight attendant= stewardess. So you'll have to tell me what you did asan air hostess.

BTW, how many hours ahead of me are you? Im on Eastern Time.

You're doing just fine do far. I'm teaching Akoya American slang. If you want, I'll do that for you, too. Always happy to corrupt innocent minds.(LOL)

Hallo, Karin!

Oh, uh...yeah....about that. I knew that. When I posted it I had a rather nasty hoofdpijn, so it all came out in a jumbled mass. Sigh.....gotta love the painkillers!

I am very relieved my moeder is getting better. My parents are in their 70's, so I worry.

O! Niet! I don't hate winter.......I LOATHE AND DESPISE IT!!!!!!! Sorry, but I'll probably be whining till spring. I think I need to go hibernate! (lol)

Tot ziens!

no I´m not a flight attendent (but i wanted to when i was younger) the doctors explained that people who expose their skin to hot & cold, big

degrees diffrencies randomly can get dry itching skin.wery common among air hostesses. We only had a wery cold winter that year & warm inside.

Me, too! It was quite a scare. I worry about my parents a lot. I want them around a little while longer. Oh wow! You were a flight attendant? Cool!

Ah! You're from Sweden! Hej! Hur mar du? Sorry I can't put the little circle over the a. My computer can't do that. But you know what I'm saying, I hope? Oh, goody! Another fun language to learn! Am I getting off to a decent start? Hope so!

Hejda!

Valbeads:
as well as Karin because she's from N. Belgium.

Hate to do this but I must correct you here, Val. I'm sure Katrien will like this as much as I do. I'm from Holland, The Netherlands. But to refer to it as North Belgium will do the Belgians a lot of good. I don't think the patriotic Dutch will like it. I think it's very funny anyway.

Glad to hear your mother's recovering. Do I get the impression that you hate winter?

Greetings from Karin.

Niwas — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 08:29:39 GMT

oh I´m glad to hear you´r mom feels better.

whn i was youns I got a rash that was itching and the skin became dry that was caused by the weather. Warm inside & cold outside it wascommon among travelling airhostessses.

by the way i´ m from Sweden

Re: more by Niwas!!

Valbeads — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 03:11:24 GMT

Niwas,

Thank you so much. Mom is home now and recovering. They think her cold might somehow have caused the rash. Not sure how, but I guess it happens.

It is horribly cold and damp here now. It goes below 0°C pretty much ever night now. Won't be long now till we drop down to 0°F! Brrrrrr! Have I whined lately about how much I hate winter?!

Well......here in the US we call it all jewelry; we just call it two different types: the kind of jewelry most of us make is known as fashion jewelry. The 14k gold, or sterling or fine silver, or platinum, or palladium jewelry with precious stones like diamonds, rubies, sapphires, etc., is called fine jewelry. Or, you can call the fashion jewelry, "accessories."

What is your nationality, Niwas? Karin's Dutch, Katrien's Belgian and Akoya's German. I speak Russian fluently, some French, a little German and I'm learning Dutch, because Katrien also speaks Dutch, as well as Karin because she's from N. Belgium. I'm half German, half Scottish, and you can see how Celtic I look from my pic! Speaking of Russian, I was out having dinner after Mass tonight, and ran into a lady who is Russian. When she found out I spoke Russian, she went crazy! She said she thought I was Russian! I began learning Russian when I was young, so I speak it with a Russian accent. So there we were, standing in the middle of the restaurant, yakking away in Russian, and heads are starting to turn!(lol) It was funny to see the surprise on people's faces, because Russian comes as easily to me as American English, so I can speak in Russian just as fast as I can in English. It was SO much fun! I love learning languages. Seems God made me kind of a natural at it; because I pick a new language up fairly quickly. I really like to be able to speak to people in their own language. Plus it looks as though I may have gotten myself a new client, too! Whee!

Hi Niwas,

I'm not a native speaker either but I think jewelry (I've seen it spelled like jewellery as well) is fine also for beaded things. Here in Portugal they call them 'joyas' which is such a nice word! Like joy, very playful.

Hope you'll have a nice weekend as well.

Greetings from Karin.

Thank tou so much for all you´r kind comments.

it is quite cold here sometimes, so I got some sparetime beading when my children is a sleep.
I mean every body needs some "ME" time when they have small children
a couple of days ago we had -16 degrees celcius and I prefered to stay inside .

Val:
I´m sorry to hear about you´r mom Val,really hope she will get well soon.
The first picture with green emerald coloured glass beads is a bracelet I made for a women (about 65 years old) that just met a new man she is about to start dating and she bought a new dress that she wanted some new jewelry to I´m so flattered she chose my design

Is there any other word for necklaces,bracelets & ring other than jewelry??
English is not my first language and jewelry sounds so expensive for me because I think of jewels.
So I´m just wondering if you call it jewelry even if it´s not really expensive stones and gold & silver

Hope you all will have a wonderful weekend

I'll see what I can do. I'm thinking I may be up for awhile. My mum is on her way to the ER; my dad is taking her. I think she's having an anaphylactic reaction to something; she just developed a rash and it's just spreading and getting worse. I'm here taking care of Zoe and Mac (and vice versa) but I know I will fret. I will pray to my guardian, Bl. John Paul, to watch out for her. Can everyone please pray for my mom? Thanks!
