    With reference to the Longest Word. The page below will answer what questions to consider when choosing a word. What criteria was considered for the selection. Also what the longest word is in a multitude of languages. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_words sandrewn (so now I know what an agglutinative language is)

    Following my status entry on longest word in English(should of said in the dictionary), I found this interesting page. The world's longest place name. The actual meaning of the names is even more interesting and entertaining. So the next time you wonder what's in a name, try and find out. It could be a fascinating story. In Wales(3rd place) http://www.fun-with-words.com/longest_place_names.html In New Zealand (2nd place) sandrewn (now you know)

    When we hear of bagpipes, Scotland immediately comes to mind. Page Scrawler made an excellent comment, that they exist all over the world in different forms by other countries. Read the Wikipedia page below to get some history and pictures of some of them. Maltese Zaqq https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagpipes sandrewn

    Modern day Good Samaritan, through snow and sleet... oh wait, that's for postmen. Well read on anyways.

    When next you look in your cupboard to see what canned goods you have in stock(well I do), try to image what someone else or from another country might be seeing in theirs. If I had one comment to make about this, no.4 would sum it up, nicely. sandrewn (believe it or not)

    In light of that, I guess he chose the right profession. His father was was a doctor, coincidental? I think you/we should look at it from a different point of view. I recall from the Humphrey Bogart film, 'Treasure of the Sierra Madre', when the bandito leader(Gold Hat), replied to Bogart. From the following quote, just replace ' badges' with 'surnames'. Movie ' Badges, we don't need no stinking badges!' Icelanders ' Surnames, we don't need no stinking surnames!', we are all Vikings here! sandrewn (think pride, not lack of numbers)

    There is some thing wrong with the system here! Murderers, child molesters, rapists, people who have embezzled millions and destroyed countless lives have received less than this man. Man jailed for 22 years for stealing a television remote | Eric Bramwell must serve at least half of the sentence before he is eligible for parole http://upvoat.com/story/man-jailed-for-22-years-for-stealing-a-television-remote-eric-bramwell-must-serve-at-least-half-of-the-sentence-before-he-is-eligible-for-parole/ sandrewn (the prosecutor should be a shamed of himself) or that 3 strikes law, that saw a man who stole a candy bar, sent away for life.

    The talent of these artists continues to amaze and entertain me. What or who you paint on can really make all the difference. sandrewn (still applauding)

    I think most of us have been to at least one wedding, in our life time (your own doesn't count). The 25 you will see next are not your average seen every day types of wedding. Or, maybe it's just me and that I have lead a sheltered life. You be the judge and tell me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qm9tmg8KGg#t=277 sandrewn The video is screwed up. When you press play it will start 2/3rds of the way through. Just make the indicator go to the beginning and it will play the whole video. Sorry about that.

    I'm glad you're here, I'm glad I'm here. I guess that makes me glad all over(I liked that song). Just wanted to add my two cents worth and ... Wish You ColumbusGuy A Very Happy Birthday!!! sandrewn
