Maybe we English speakers should adopt that word. I've been in quite a few situations where it would apply. I could say, "You're really acting, like, totally nakhrapom!!" (a creative combination of standard English, Russian, and Valley Girl) They wouldn't know what it means but it would derail their little tantrum for a second or two.
(I didn't quote your full post here- I thought the whole post is valid, but I wasn't responding to the part I left out) Well... actually, she might have had a point. I'm sure you've heard about the problem of antibiotic resistance. Bacteria evolve a LOT faster than we humans do- and germs been learning how to survive antibiotics. (A good example is someone who has a virus infection who asks for antibiotics: antibiotics generally work on bacteria, but viruses are a VERY different organism.) We don't want to lose antibiotics in our war against disease, but we have to use them if a person really needs them.
I'm aware of antibiotic resistance and "super-bacteria", but in that case (after i got contaminated in February of 2019), i was feeling really pathetic, and, having considered all risks and possible consequences, i decided to take Ciprofloxacine, because my ears were aching badly (they merely didn't work), and i was afraid to lose my hearing.
I was given this bouquet of 9 tulips by our students as a gift (tomorrow is the "International women's day", that is widely celebrated over here).
I'm giving these flowers to all our female VVers. Thank you all for being around!
Happy holiday, everyone!
That's nice - it means that all the people who work there are able to have a day off to spend with their families.
She’s pretty annoyed.
Both my daughters have trips planned for March and April. The April trip has been cancelled. Daughter doesn’t want to be in an airport with the current coronavirus situation. It was a nice trip to Costa Rica. But they got a voucher to reschedule but lost the deposit.
The other daughter is going to Iceland in two weeks but her travel companion no longer wants to go. My daughter is not worried about the virus at all. But looks like it’s leaning toward them not going. So far no luck with getting reimbursed or rescheduling for her though. That’s a good chunk of money down the drain.
I wouldn't like to upset you even more, but look at this side of the matter: it looks like very soon, every cruise ship or an airplane will have a contaminated person onboard. And what do they do with such ships? Right,- they place them under quarantine without letting them go into any harbours. This perspective is quite frustrating for a vacationer. When placed under quarantine, these ships become walking Petri dishes, and there is almost no chance to avoid contamination for those who are still healthy. Those who were on the plane are being isolated too... We have a saying: "Everything that is being done - is being done for good". Plus, "Better safe than sorry".Both my daughters have trips planned for March and April. The April trip has been cancelled.

We all just need to be endurant. (Honestly, i've no idea how to do it).
Yeah, we’re not the kind of people to do something like that alone. As independent as she is with living alone and travelling for her job, going to Iceland alone, or any other vacation spot for that matter, isn’t something she would do.Can't she go alone ? I would be gutted to have to cancel such a faraway trip.
). What did help me,- is what Sumerian gods had done to me. I was sweaty like a tzutzik after what they had done this night, but i woke up without the pain. Now my throat and tonsils are a little swollen (because it's late), but no real pain so far, no otitis (that i'd been so afraid of), almost no "clicking" sounds in my inner ear(s), and no pain in both ears (there was slight pain yesterday!
). I was freaked out yesterday, but today i feel more confident, because i feel that Sumerian gods stand up for me.
