Thank you! I needed this!

I have seen this error several times lately. The word is "gilded" not "guilded". A dictionary can be useful in writing (and spelling.)

In how many languages can you ask, "WHAT?"

Thank you for posting these images and giving us a brief background.

Good grief! Are you serious?

It's not like there are hundreds of thousands to preserve their unique heritage, their beautiful culture, the spirit of "Aloha" and the little bit of land that is left to them. The suit is just another example greed-based racism; or is there any other kind?

Oh dear, their racist slip is showing.

Perfectly summarized.

I am reminded of my 5 year-old neighbor, "You're not the boss of me!"

Just like the "old days" in school, starving people must sit down and pen a "thank you" note, and then they will be collected to send to their "benefactor." Good grief!

Hence, the word "gadabout" to describe a person.

I know the feeling.

Wish I could be there. I'm sure it will be as interesting a conversation as one of his books!

Love the Chinese porcelain as well as the light;

Yes, it is beautiful; many thanks.

Why am I not surprised?
