Somehow, it seems appropriate.

I have no formal Latin education (my high school's philosophy was that any foreign language besides Spanish was useless) but does that mean something along the lines of "There are always new varieties of torment"?

heh, my latin is rudimentary at best but that's not what i think it means... i think it's a bit more.. hmm... visceral.

i'll let someone else translate though just in case i'm wrong...

Why not ask Dame Patricia herself?

Are we in the latin forum?

"We are always in the sh**. Only the depth varies."

He was actually a very good Latin teacher.

Is that how you spell shno?
Yes, Yvan & pshrynk are always in that, and at varying depths.

WDE. (and me at times too)

To be fair, Fledchen was, actually, correct, in that it does "mean something along the lines of" what she suggested.

Cheers,

Will your plants be okay if you cover them?

Cherry blossoms are EVERYWHERE!!! Two of the trees near my house already are beginning to drop their blossoms. We're going out tomorrow into the 'Higashiyama' part of Kyoto to stroll the "Philosopher's Walk," a long, paved walking path along a stream with huge cherry trees completely covering it for it's entire length. We'll picnic along the way. It's times like this I really enjoy living here!

Here too --cherry blossoms-- and the lilac on my balcony looks like it's alternatively purring and laughing out loud in the sun (hmm; I have to cut on drinks before lunch, yes?)

remember YGG : breakfast first, *then* zany carters. then you should be ok. purring / laughing lilacs are perfectly normal in those circumstances.
