Don't be bitter, all older people aren't like this. If they have children they may look at you with love like for a daughter. Don't let one old grouch spoil your day
You did good Meta, The temperature here goes way below 0 at this time of year and alcohol is a problem, when someone falls down drunk in the street, the public will inform the police immediately, they come and quite gently put the drunk in the paddy wagon and take him to a special unit for the night. The alternative is to find him literally frozen solid in the morning. Drunkenness is discouraged in Finland, but they won't let anyone knowingly freeze to death.
I have experienced being out in these conditions, when over a misunderstanding my g/f kicked me out at midnight in -18 degs. I survived by resting 20 mins then walking briskly 20 mins. I also had cold weather gear on.
But I was sober and could still have frozen to death if comatose.
They did the same with photobucket, I can't make head or tail of the new format. In fact I am looking for a new photo prog, to store and edit photos. Any suggestions?
Thanks zman, it was a quote from an English tabloid, but having said that speaking another language for a long time does make you tend to fall into what I call international English. Or maybe it's just me!!!!!!
The President forgot to send me an invitation to the Independence day ball, in Helsinki today. I was going to give him some of my stew.Still never mind I can give it to all of the bloggers.
On behalf of President Obama and the people of the United States, I congratulate the people of Finland on your national day on December 6.
The connections between our two nations date back to the first Finnish immigrants who journeyed to America centuries ago, making great contributions to our national and cultural identity. Today, some 700,000 Americans trace their origins to Finland.
From the hardships and wars that followed your independence, Finland has emerged as a world leader in telecommunication, scientific research, and innovation. The United States values our strong and dynamic ties with Finland as we work together on issues ranging from developing 21st century technologies and advancing environmental research to promoting international economic development and defending human rights. We honor the contributions of Finnish soldiers, police trainers, and development experts working in Afghanistan and with peacekeeping efforts around the world to help build a better, safer future for people everywhere.
I wish all the people of Finland a happy Independence Day celebration and look forward to further deepening our partnership in the years to come.
Saddest, Kate has already had serious morning sickness, He is recognised as the father to the next heir to the British throne. But I feel all fathers are due this recognition even though the mother has to carry and deliver the baby.
