Hi Lena. Miss you too.:):<3:
My leg is getting better. I think soon I will be back here again.:)
In German we have a saying: Unkraut vergeht nicht.
Translated it means: Pest plants never die ........:(
Nice, isn`t it ????:D

Germans can be very poetic. When they want to! [emoji23]
Glad you’re getting better, my friend!

Another card?? Heather, are you married to a postman by any chance? :D

Lol!! All the postal services are very familiar with my route because my business mail comes here too. ( I run an office from my home) but I’m starting to feel a bit guilty.. I have deliberately held on to TORTOISE cards n gifts inside the USA so it would be close to Christmas .. I don’t think i can stand it any more... [emoji16]

Good morning Everyone!
@Bee62 I’m so glad your feeling better. Lena, your humor is so special... I have to scroll through the posts even when I’m too busy just to get my daily dose of @Kristoff .. Everyone here in The cdr contributes to a “special” part of my day [emoji38]

And I got the lovely card from you! They do love you at the post office!

YOU feel guilty? I finally bought Christmas cards yesterday. I hope to get them addressed over the long Thanksgiving weekend so they can go out on Monday.

Did I mention this is the first time I'm sending out Christmas cards in, well... Ever? :D

Hello Bee and everyone else!!
We have the same saying, Onkruid vergaat niet. Onkruid is weeds. What we feed our Torts. Hmmm...

“Niet” sounds like Russian «нет». It just occurred to me that our “no” is not that far from “nicht” and “not”. Hello, Indo-European cousins! Or should I say привет?

Unkraut... Is the Kraut part related to the Kraut part of Sauerkraut?

I could look it up online, but it tends to stick in my mind better if I can ask a native or pseudo-native German speaker. :)

This is a company that knows the rules only too well and keeps coming up with new wheezes to get round the rules. The problem is that it isn't anything we haven't seen before. And salesmen don't always seem to have the highest IQs; the Chinese bots are much smarter :D On this occasion they have ended up embarrassing their customers by asking them to place glowing recommendations. It's a shame they told them what to say; identikit posts stand out :D
It's the difference between paraphrasing and parroting. It's not like it's a campaign to influence a government official (where numbers of contacts really do count).

Weeds like plantain, dandelion. Things that will always grow back.

It's funny, my mother is always trying to get ride of the weeds in her garden. And I plant them for my Tortoises. She rather vigoriously tries to get ride of them. Lol

I bet you could publish a book of actual excuses received over the years.
Would that book of excuse notes be published with or without the grades (of the notes themselves), marked up edits, and/or suggestions on how they could have been more effective? ;)

Maybe she needs to tortoise proof her garden. Then your tortoises can visit to mow the lawn! :D
