Muriel, as you know, English speaking people are fond of short words; "Nuke" is just another example such as brolly, such as coke, and so on and so forth.

I'VE READ THIS BEFORE BUT A GOOD REMINDER IN CASE YOU ARE HAVING A HEART ATTACK ALONE.
" Hi everyone, can you put a

❤
Not your typical forward...please read...
THIS IS A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH READ IT CAREFULLY & SHARE IT !!!!
This is from Dr. Geetha Krishnaswamy, Please give your 2 minutes and read this:
1. Let’s say it’s 7.25pm and you’re going home (alone of course) after an unusually hard day on the job.
2. You’re really tired, upset and frustrated.
3 Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up in to your jaw. You are only about five km from the hospital nearest your home.
4. Unfortunately you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far.
5. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy who taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself.
6. HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE? Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.
7. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.
8. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital.
9. Tell as many other people as possible about this. It could save their lives!!
10. A cardiologist says If everyone who gets this mail kindly sends it to 10 people, you can bet that we’ll save at least one life.
11. Rather than sending jokes, please... contribute by forwarding this mail which can save a person’s life.
12. If this message comes around you... more than once… please don’t get irritated... You should instead, be happy that you have many friends who care about you & keeps reminding you how to deal with a Heart attack. on your FB wall, without comment, only a heart, then send this message to your chick contacts. This is for women to remember its the week of breast cancer prevention!
❤ Check your boobies!! "

I'm posting this as I was born in May... but I won't buy the t-shirt they'd like to sell to me

What about women ? When were the best ones born ? Very Happy

Muriel, as usual, Google seriously considers your question:
-> How the Month You Were Born Affects Your Personality | Time.com
-> SCIENTIFIC evidence that when you're born is key to your health
-> How Birth Month Matters

Gérard I don't know if it's true but I have learnt a new word
gibberish=Nonsense.

gerardM Ven 18 Aoû - 23:32

MurielB a écrit:...

Muriel, for me, gibberish and Nonsense don't mean the same:
- gibberish is something ununderstandable
- nonsense is stupidity
Would I be wrong?

MurielB Sam 19 Aoû - 16:40

No you're right

gibberish is speech or writing that is unintelligible, incoherent or meaningless while nonsense is letters or words, in writing or speech, that have no meaning or seem to have no meaning.

OK but nonsense has other meanings:
- foolishness (in fact a range of meanings going till the French "conneries")
- triffle

Gérard do you know Mr Nonsense's story ? My grand-children love it.
