I was talking to my neighbor across the street this past weekend. They have a 9 year old son, so they are a younger generation than me. The family of 3 were heading out on a bike ride. The dad was lamenting that summer was ending so soon, wishing it could be longer especially as the day was so nice, he said "FOMO" you know. I agreed and was only happy to know that FOMO means 'fear of missing out' haha. Our language is evolving quickly. Are you up to date on all the latest acronyms?
They also noticed I was back outside weeding again, so I told them about my recent detached retina issues. The wife said her dad had a detached retina while on vacation in Hong Kong but fortunately they were to able treat it there. My eye is still cloudy (I can read large print (such as my phone password, the time and maybe the date), hoping when the gas bubble subsides the vision will eventually sharpen. It is an exercise in patience I am learning. Vitrectomies are serious surgeries. I got the long lasting 6-8 week gas bubble.
Ja, also andere Abkürzungen von Sätzen benutzen ist auch bei uns.
ReplyDeleteMach langsam, liebe Christine, nicht dass alles umsonst war mit der Op! hugs Elke
Yes, we also use other abbreviations for sentences.
ReplyDeleteTake it easy, dear Christine, lest the surgery was all for nothing.hugsElke
I’d never heard of FOMO before! I loved reading this and learning something new today. Best wishes, Liuba x
ReplyDeleteAnd a new acronym learned! Nice your neighbors are friendly and all the best to your eye!
ReplyDeleteIt’s always funny how quickly new slang catches up with us! Wishing you so much patience as that gas bubble subsides. Take it easy and get well soon!
ReplyDeleteHave never heard of FOMO before...
ReplyDeleteI sure hope your eye can heal perfectly, Christine. That has to be tough to deal with!
ReplyDelete...keep planting flowers.
ReplyDeleteI know what FOMO is, but I don't usually have it myself. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to know that you are still healing. Patience isn't easy, but you are getting there!!
Have a nice Weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update about your eye. That must be scary to live with but you are making the most of daily things, taking it in stride. Stay strong! 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗I hope to get back on schedule soon, but if it's not one thing..then it seems to be something else. Always catching up, but I miss a creative outlet and I miss the friendships I've made on blogger. I feel I know you all much better than some I work with. All the best to your creativity! & thank you for all your comments.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm missing out on not know all these terms. I am not sure I like all these terms either. All the best to being on the mend. Take care of you! All the best to you and your blog!

ReplyDeleteI love the saying in the picture.
And I think I'm too old for FOMO. :D
Our language is changing faster than ever before. Yes, this eye surgery is very seriously. I had it and my eye never healed right. I hope yours does.
ReplyDeleteHard to be patient when you have something like this going on. Sounds like it’s heading in the right direction if you are outside weeding. How nice to enjoy a chat with your neighbors. I did not know what FOMO means. I still am living in the stone age as far as acronyms are concerned :) That’s a lovely picture with the saying. Looking at beautiful flowers definitely helps me.
ReplyDeleteGenial. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeletebonsoir une bonne nuit bon dimanche bisous
ReplyDeleteI tried planting flowers only once. Went to Dollar Tree and grabbed a packet of Morning Glory seeds, did all the right steps, and it just kept sprouting. But I never got any flowers, and I kept wondering why. Then finally something started to bud—and it was a tomato.

DeleteI'm used to acronyms. After all, I interned at ATT (American Telephone and Telegraph).
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update on your eye. I hope it keeps getting better day by day.
I like that quote. And I understand your exercise in patience as that is how it is with me resting my shoulder. I hope the vision clears up soon!
ReplyDeleteEyes are so tricky. I have floaters, after my cataract operation...
ReplyDeleteMy client has macular degeneration. So sad for her.
Hope your eye gets all the way better soon.
ReplyDeleteOur language is always evolving and more often than not I'm behind with all the current sayings/abbreviations LOL
ReplyDeleteDo continue to take things steady as you heal from your eye surgery.
Lots of good wishes coming to you.
All the best Jan
I am not up to date! I only found out what FOMO meant recently after I bought a nail polish called FOMO and had to google it haha! :-D
