Hey LM, you have been traveling so much that you missed getting the Uncovering Genome Mysteries badge!

I almost didn't dare to play your they're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!
because I know it will resound and resound and resound in my head ...
if I can get away with just one day, it's be fine!

Well, the Dutch don't turn it the other way

he-he in 'The Undutchables' they more than hinted at the Dutch having a tendency to stubbornness …

they're using it that way because you can't say 'meer of min'

You mean YOU, the Dutch – for everybody else it works fine

Our ships go down with ’mus og mænd’ as well – but mind you: ’mus’ is the same in singularum and plural.
It could be one single mouse and more-than-one man.
But it isn’t.
I have no idea how we decide there are more than one mouse on board ships.
- there must be some finesse to us anyhow ....

Another alliterating expression is 'met man en muis' (with man and mouse) in the sentence 'het schip verging met man en muis' (= the ship went down with all hands). What's typical here is that 'hands' has the same meaning as the Dutch word 'hens' in the expression 'alle hens aan dek!' (= all hands on deck), while the Dutch word for 'hand' is (the same): 'hand'

Here I really see why I’m 'the primitive northern tribe!' <it really bites>
We stick with men and assume they have hands to do the work needed to be done on the deck.

We have ’sikkert og vist’ – like the Belgians
But, we’ve got it wrong, the Belgians and us Danes, of course
… it should be ’vist og sikkert’ ..
that just doesn’t have the same ring to it ....

Hey LM, you have been traveling so much that you missed getting the Uncovering Genome Mysteries badge!

I found it a mystery myself, BladeD, and just looked into it. I run three android phones
- Saphir12-Nathalie is currently hospitalized in Sweden again!
and I just acquired a tablet (no name yet).
They cannot run MIB it seems.
Besides, I have my two-core laptop which is allocated to TB, and it's slow; one WU can easily take 60 hours
- perhaps I use all the power talking
I should have a machine like your new one
which is so fast that ....

The expression is singular, but 'we' just know, we derive, that plural is meant.

Three more alliterating Dutch expressions are:
- met man en macht (pronunciation) = with might and main — again switched words : macht = might
- taal noch teken (pronunciation) = no sign of life
- kind noch kraai (pronunciation) = kith nor kin
— It may sound strange, but the 'ch' is in Dutch pronounced like you're clearing your throat, the same as you would pronounce a 'g' in Dutch. There is no sound like it in English, but it is like J in European Spanish and it is found in Hebrew and Arabic.
Examples: ga! (= go!), geel (= yellow), glad (= slippery), grijs (= grey), graag (= gladly), genoeg (= enough).

Pronunciations added:
- min of meer
- met man en muis

Good Afternoon Base Campers!
Thank you for putting so much life into our 'team thread'
Shop talk
Not much.
Yesterday we issued a general invitation to each and every cruncher visiting the Forum.
We also put one up at the EVGA Forum. Hopefully yodap@BC will come.
Let me repeat:
The International Team trek begins on Saturday June 9 – or as you please – and lasts for one week – or as you please.
The address is: The International Team
So far the badge suggestion has not been shot down - it's still

Chit-chat
Today has be a very good one for me.
My fatigue seems to have returned to the normal range, and the pain picture has been manageable as well.
I have had a bit of energy and I speeded on my way to an event at the hospital where they monitored me for five days.
The theme was 'What is important to you' meaning that the health personel want to ask their patients this ....
There was a performance by one of our best female comedians who was twice hit by cancer - two models.
Her attitude was: "Why NOT me?" as opposed to "Why me?"
You can fight or give up.
She has written a song for the Cancer Association in Denmark
"Et øjeblik" - it means "A Moment" but in this instance the translation into
"That moment" would fit better - it's the moment when you learn you have cancer and your world stops. For a moment.
Speeding is always a good sign. So is dancing with the car …
I wanted to travel …
I’m not minded for alternative medicine but a reading group friend had recommended me a healer who mastered all the disciplines – zone therapy – all the mysterious things, and I made an appointment yesterday
… and I cancelled it.
My intuition and instinct warned me against giving up milk, normal vitamin pills, calcium supplements – and COFFEE!
Twice I did something contrary to my inner better advice: The Vagifem HRT and the group therapy.
Time to listen!
I ascribe my improvement to halving the halved dose of Selo-zok - just the name!!! – the beta blocker.
My heart rate is still low but I function far, far better.
Normal miserable me … I’ll take her any time
