There are many languages spoken here and I am trying to learn and adjust. In my neighborhood, one person greets with a husky “Salutations!” some say “Good Morning” when they exit stage left they may say “Chow”, Goodbye”, Good Day or simply walk away. I would guess there are thousands of different expressions that we have not been exposed to or may mean something different.
I read somewhere that may google translator should be a link on every post. Perhaps it should.

Nope! Never been near it. But I love Sago pudding! and us Afrikaners have a weird habit, we say, Ya,ya a lot. Nebraska’ns wear those warm, weird shaped furry hats in winter, right?
I like learning new languages. And there are many different ways of expressing something?
I guess that maybe some of you have been to Omaha, Nebraska and may know me from there. My collection is quite famous locally.
That is interesting grace.
I guess I don’t understand people and their motives. I will just get advice from those who want to know about me. I am very active on a different site where many of you post and know me. I can’t be concerned about agitators. Life is to short to worry about rifraf. Pandas are peaceful. I am a caring a peaceful person.
Oh I understand the confusion. Gramps couldn’t write any longer. So I asked if the profile could be changed and I could participate. New writers are not open, and I was allowed to change the information and participate. So I am just replacing. I guess if he is ever able to return it would be turned back to him.
Passionate Panda,
I’d like to offer you some advice. Write often. Ignore people who taunt you. Only follow those who you enjoy interacting with, which will help you to focus on those people. Then you can pull up the posts of only those you follow and it helps to focus on your positive and helpful contacts. It’s deffinately time to slim down my list again. As you may have read I am not spending my time here and I want it to be enjoyable while I am here.
I would prefer to get my advice from the administrators, thanks.
I read Ghostwriter. I read all of the top five writers on the site. I believe anyone can comment on any posts.
I wouldn’t know why anyone comments. You would have to ask them. It is nice that you found your answer.
This is correct. You can only answer for your personal actions. Great response @Passionate Panda.
I fluently speak both English and Latvia and have some knowledge of German and French. What country are you from?
That is very impressive.
What country are you from?
In India most wish each other, or say hi and some say the Hindi version ‘Namaste’
I didn’t know that Grace. It’s interesting.
