-----------What I tried to say:

(happy!) I (perfective) receive part-of-the-mass-of " ju'i lobypli " [from]
Lojbab.
I resume-after-a-pause am-interesed-in Lojban

(BTW Lojbab: Is-it-true (hope!) I will in-the-future receive JL from-you
   or I dollars how-many? send to-you.  I don't know to-what-extent
   I financially balance with-LLG )

(patient hope) the dictionary when? will be published
(complaint) I continuing intense work motivated-by money and not the
learning of lojban
(hope) but [observative] future-medium-distance resuming-after-a-pause learning

BTW (hope!) Logfest (slight envy) is enjoyable for you-all

---------What I really wanted to say:

I'm glad to have just received back copies of "ju'i lobypli" from Lojbab.
It's resparked my interest in the language.

(BTW am I scheduled to receive future issues of JL?  If not let me know how
much $ I should send in. I'm not really sure how my balance stands)

I'm also wondering, (with no impatience implied) when it's looking like the
dictionary might come out.  While I'm unfortunately too busy at work to
study lojban right now, I hope that will change in a few months.

BTW I hope you all are having fun at Logfest!  Wish I could be there!

---------question

How would I say "receive back issues of "ju'i lobypli""?  Would _loi slabu
me lu ju'i lobypli li'u me'u_ be better?  What if I just wanted "issues of
ju'i lobypli" and I didn't care about "back"?  There ought to be some way to
put "loi" to work!  Or is there some other goodie in the loj-bag that I need?

Any other corrections to/suggestions for my jboselsku are welcome!
