Hey, you naughty girls and boys! you �ve managed to give me a jump!!! I thought my pc is .."kaput"...burnt out!! completely and forever!! when I saw that there so many changes, so many people who I know have their flags changed, well, that �s one, but seeing my fellow countrywoman Donapeter �s flag being another one, completely strange to me!!!!!...that was the final shot!!
oh, thank God I decided to read the forum tonight!! my poor pc!

I �ve just thought of another way to distinguish between the two: most children would think this �flag-swapping � business hilarious while most kids probably wouldn �t. It �s a bit like your auntie making you wear a �funny � hat - like a fez or a feather bonnet. Some young �uns like it, some don �t. |

H dear friends
Not sure ... what is going around here, but.....
My flag is my heart.
Obviously, not my government, but that is some different business. Governments come and go. FLAGS are for ever. Flags are our blood, our soul.
What happened ? Why did you decide to change flags? Well, I can see you are all happy and joking and... that �s pretty good.
Have a nice a week, even if you have changed flag and boss.
BIG HUGS to all
Linda

@ Donapeter .... welcome to The Bahamas! Believe it or not we do work in The Bahamas. However on some islands some schools are actually built on the beach,,, imagine that!
Stay as long as you like! Get some sands in your shoes and you will keep coming back! |

Nobody has mentioned that a kid is actually the name for a baby goat.
Native speakers are well aware of this and would only use �kids � informally. |

"Doctor, Doctor I feel like a goat".
"How long have you
felt like that"?
"Since I was a kid".
