Sorry mate ... not a scoobie.
You could ask admin to help. PM any one of them, they're a decent bunch here if you take them the right way. I use the scruff of the neck, but I'd not advocate that for you.
btw ... it's always best to check up unfamiliar and foreign words on the net before using them. I do it all the time because I don't want to look as stupid as Baldrick ... well, no-one does actually!
Cheers ... and welcome!
See Carol ... I can be nice. Though I admit it's a struggle!  |

Mairead ... the sentiment has been around a long time in various wordings since 85 ce.
For instance ... It is not wise, believe me to say, "I shall live." Too late is tomorrow's life: live thou today (None est, crede mihi, sapientis dicere "vivam"; sera nimis vita est crastina: vive hodie))~Martial, Epigrams, bk. I, epig. 15. (85c.e.)
And for today ...
"Since we are destined to live out our lives in the prison of our minds, our one duty is to furnish it well" ... Peter Ustinov |
