It’s amazing to me to see how many words are pronounced the same from language to language; My wife is Chinese and always called her father “Baba” and her Mother was called “Mama”, The below link shows about the different languages that pronounce the word for “Mama” the same:

Did you know that on the island of Aruba that you have to learn 4 other languages before you can graduate High School? English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese; Their Native language of Papiamento is actually 5 languages (Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, English and French) combined into one; I was intrigued when I heard them speak in their own language as I would hear an English word every now and then.

They have to learn these languages because these are the most popular tourists that visit their island and so being they rely mainly on tourists they must learn the languages.

I don’t know what I did but my knee hurts today. I already have bad knees to begin with. But beind my right knee on the outside it hurts, but not consistently. It is weird. Hopefully just an ache and pang of age.

It’s tingly.

Got my eBay issue sorted out and dang it was fast. I contacted eBay about a package not delivered, they got back with me in like 10 minutes with a refund.
