  No, live in States. I'm a fine diner as in Taco Bell, so if you can't impress with a Taco Supreme ( comes with tomatoes and sour cream....a fine and precious addition) then I can't go out with you because my standards are out the roof. Kind of like Mars and it's millions. I actually see many "Mar" tians visiting here from Mars in my city here. Evidently all our Tesla self driving cars testing the markets here on our crowded streets in Phoenix draws quite the crowd from other planets. The only thing that really bothers our tourists is when a Tesla, Waymo, Google self drive, or Lyft and Uber test drives (no one in the car, driverless cars) hits and pulverizes a pedestrian every week. But hey, we have to have driverless cars to get us around and some deaths aren't going to stop anyone. Of course I hope you get I'm making jest of a very serious issue in our state. Because people are dying because of getting run over by these all too necessary driverless vehicles. Phx, AZ., is I believe, the largest test market in the world. I know we're up there, so don't quote me exactly. As for asking others out on this site, you HAVE YOUR ACCOUNT FROZEN FOR DOING IT, SO being a little funny is fine, but don't actually ask anyone out here, because you'll pay by not being able to play on Rewardia. I had a few on my back and asking them nicely to stop didn't work. But administration over content got the point across. Never seen those guys since. And was followed up by an administrator that their accounts were cancelled and they lost all they had earned. Apparently, these rules are in the policies that no one takes the 6 hours to read. Lol.

The coat of arms of Australia, officially called the Commonwealth Coat of Arms, is the formal symbol of the Commonwealth of Australia. A shield, depicting symbols of Australia's six states, is held up by the kangaroo, and the emu. The animals were chosen because they are native to Australia. They symbolize a nation moving forward, since neither animal can move backwards easily – i.e., symbolizing forward progress.Edited 06-Dec-22 14:57pm

  Long story... I was working in an Arabic country doing a contract back in the 90's. They had huge 8 lane freeways which went for miles, with large grass center strips and huge round-abouts. Every so often there would be a statue of military significance i.e., charging cavalry, war hero on horseback, horse drawn gun carriage, etc... One day I was travelling with an English army mate, and he explained why some of the mounted horses had been posed with different legs in the air.

  Im surprised the differences in min. wages is so different when people live so close. Of course it's the States themselves that decide min. wages, but I wonder if it causes a lot of people to move, since they don't have to move far, to get a better min. wage. I'd like to think I'd move. Especially if it's across a street or river!!

Another strange fact that happened to my sister while she was pregnant ,was her feet grew1/2 a shoe size. Apparently not just swelling ,women's feet can grow up to one shoe size bigger and remain that way after pregnancy.This is due to stretching and softening of ligaments and widening of the various joints in the feet from hormonal changes and carrying extra weight.
