My mother almost named me Solveig (actually "Solveiga" is what's on the name day calendar). Anyway, please tell you friend she has a wonderful name.
-
:-)

Hello Me @ Wordnik. I almost didn't recognize you. Long time no see, I just tweet.

You have found the meaning of life. The pure essence of humanity! (I agree. I could tattoo that message on those pics on my forehead most of my mornings.)
-
Does this remind us of somebody? ;-)
Forgive me, I've been wanting to post a few comments on your blog but for the life of me can't manage to do it. Just let me say here it's thoughtfulness is both striking and entertaining. -
Lea,
what's the name of Mr. Clean in Finland? If it's different from those listed here, can you add it? -
Ah, so these are cloudberries! Thanks for the explanation. Mmm, berries :-)
-
The berries are "cloudberries". (Lakka | muurain.) Quite expensive ones, they are common on the northen swamps, but you can find them in the southen part of Finland as well.. Some people think cloudberry liquer is nectar of The Gods, but I personally hate it. I think I am blue(and rasp)berry person myself. -- And strawberry. I grew up in a place called Strawberry Hill.
-
Lea Lea! I received a postcard today from Finland with some kind of orange berries pictured. All the card says about the picture is 'lakkoja rasiassa'. Can you please tell me what kind of berries they are?
-
That would be great on a toast.
-
We have a bit of spare sunlight here, although I must say it's of the bleak and extremely hot variety. Anyway, I'll put some in a jar and send it over for you to try out.
-
Sanna is also a common family name in Sassari, Sardinia.
-
Call it woman's intuition. Sometimes it actually works... ;o]
-
And you already answered my second question. Thanks!
-
-
Might as well ask you, Lea :-) Is Sanna a Finnish name?
-
Thank you, Bilby!
-
I mega-loved the sketches on your blog Lea - funny and biting themes, appealing designs and interesting variation in the backgrounds and the overall look of the frames (eg. the black balloons in the Hate panel. Especially snortled at the queen and the flowers, top stuff!
-
Vista ... best thing I can say is that it rhymes with barrista :-)
-
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup!
-
I just got Vista. I surely hope it involves this convenient little java program you mentioned... among all the other weird things it carries in its huge whale belly.
-
I only click Java links that cause fresh coffee to pour forth from the USB port.
-
Me neither.
Coffee to you too! -
I love coffee, I loathe tea
I don't click javascript and youtube links... -
Coffee!

lea commented on the word white trash
Infectious word like swine flu. My friend is a cultural antropologist/librarian, Native Americans being her main subject and she loves this word. I have grown to love it, too, I noticed. White trash has left the building on Capitol Hill... Woohoo! Life is good.

lea commented on the word you are the seeds in my mole
Sesame seeds are the most important, essential ingredient in Mexican mole. Saw it on TV. Two wiseguys from England cooked there. The local saying allegently goes like this according to them.

Oh, boy, I hope it's crap. It's hard to believe that people are actually that stupid on this Planet. (The RSS-feed icon was the best I've ever seen.. Looks like the dude is sitting on a toilet.)

Is that a word? It came up, as I was blogging old cows. Try not to be offended. I think I am jewishish, since some of my ancestors were Jewish.

Mr. Proper also could be a scurvy pirate, perhaps? Rrrr? No? True. Tom of Finland sounds more likely.

I think it is Mr. Proper in Finland. Is it true that the dude is wearing earring? I've never used this product. It obviously sucks.

lea commented on the word böp
For a moment I thought it was "böö". That is what the ghosts say (in Finland), when they try to scare you. I completely forgot how native english speaking ghosts do it. Stupid friends also might jump behind the corner at you and shout: böö!
