Do they still have that law about being nice to small furry animals again?

Ricky, I know you want to be getting better. We all want that too. If I were closer, I'd come try to be a nurse but you'r probably prefer that I stay away - I'm not very good at it.

Doing nn - slang/shorthand for spending nn years in prison (in this case, 70); because the authorities finally got fed up with you being nice to animals.

I think.

No one should have to be around me when I'm sick. Fate worse than death.

Must be a UK sort of thing. We do say "doing time" here ... and I have heard "doing 25 to life" used here .... but for the most part, when we just say "doing nn" .... we're talking speed, and not the drug kind either.

Yes, it has been a little worrisome here since I took in the stray puppy that was abandoned. However, someone I know is going to take him home with her on Tuesday, so no one will be able to bust my chops over him. He'll be in a nice new home with someone who will love him.

Over here, it can depend on the context. "Doing nn years" is more common than just "doing nn", but both would be understood in the right context. Of course, an eavesdropper from a country that had corporal punishment for criminals might get the wrong idea if they heard one person saying that another got 6 for armed robbery.

Oh that's good that he's found a nice home. Hope your two girl pups don't miss him too much!

I've been fighting the feeling to puke for the past half hour. It hit me all of a sudden. I want it to stop so I can go to sleep

Maybe I ate too much today?

That's how it hit me, very all of a sudden. If you keep feeling that way, then it might be the bug.

I got a wet cool washcloth and put it on my stomach for a half hour. That helped. Feel fine now, I think whatever I ate didn't like me.
