We invited my mother to the cafeteria down the street... She tried to make her peace with such dinge as only our crew maight find companionable. (1 Does it mean she tried to like it even though she didn´t?)... 2 as only our crew maight find companionable... (what does that mean?)

A foreign boy with a very strong accent says about the colors of a painting that he finds extraodinary wet and alive ... "Like flaa jus flung". ( What could "flaa" could... something chic? sexual?)

You are mixing with some strange people. In the first sentence the word dinge does not make any sense and I would suggest this rendering: "with such dignity as only our crowd might find compatible." I imagine that she behaved in a way which you readily understood and accepted, but which others might not have understood.

"Like flaa just flung" doesn't mean anything to me. I would suggest: "like flowers just flung", as this is something colourful. It's as though someone picked some flowers and threw them down while they were still fresh.
