Very personal matter, feelings. And different for each person maybe. Everyone's feelings are very personal. And it is very easy to hurt someone, especially in an anonymous site. But a person has control over themselves only, no one else, and if I choose to let someone hurt me, then that is my decision, no one can hurt me unless I let them. But I can still be offended, and have been on this site early on.

"And different for each person maybe". Most 'hurts', specially in this anonymous field, are unintentional. What lets one person in perfect peace may be very upsetting to someone else. The limitations of the medium and communication in general, I think.

Indeed feelings are very personal. It is in the listening to them with our hearts that we get to understand them. This medium, videlicet, the written word, is one I enjoy. It is easier for me to put my feelings on paper.

This wasn't too long ago, but it seems some didn't see it or forgot: http://wordsmith.org/board/ubbthreads.php/topics/187807/Re_big_old_affixesThis is Bran's reference to her "SLC", tongue firmly planted in her cheek! We all know she loves her native land, and for good reason. I, for one, am not worried about her feelings. Luke, I think you missed that thread! As an aside, I went to Amsterdam as a child, and have forgotten a lot, as children will, but will never forget staying in an inn below the waterline and eating rusks for breakfast. Although I somehow confuse it with Tivoli Gardens (we also visited Denmark and Sweden on that trip), we were captivated by Madurodam and it's moving cars and trains. I still have the pair of wooden shoes I wore out completely, and the little silver bracelet with tiny blue and white enameled "wooden" shoes on it. I'd love to go back some day! :0)

Ah, rusks! Clear. That certainly wasn't Legoland.

Legoland
I have been to the original Legoland in Billund, Jylland, Danmark. It was fun. A cousin who was a sales rep for a a tent-like contraption on a small trailer got me free room and board for his company's shindig there. Ah, the herring, the Aalborg akvavit, and ĝl. Yum. Somewhere I have a tape of some Muppet songs in Danish that I picked up at one of the daytime activities.
Ceci n'est pas un seing.

Ah! The bracelet you talk of refreshes my memory. Those were called "beggar bracelets". Ironically only children from well-off families had them right after the war. There were all sorts of little silver pendants you could hang to it. bracelet If you touched one of the tiny silver trinkets to admire it, you were supposed to give another one of those tiny silvers. ( does not explain the beggar thing imo ) That's nice you brought it up. As for Denmark, with a friend I made the round of 'Jutland' on bike once. 600 miles. Once we had a beer ( ol )( forget the / that had to go through it) at noon and never made it up the next hill. Bikes and beer are the worst combination.

Thanks for the update. And I know Bran's feelings for her country. I was speaking in general about letting one's feeling being hurt, even tho' I did quote her. It was a comment from my perspective, concerning hurting other's feelings. And I think the necessity of caring, without compromising one's values. Thanks again.
