Hi all<P>I was kinda wondering if I am a one of, or if there are more of us south africans here on this board. I know many if not most are from America and a few are from Australia but are there any from South Africa ?<P>thanks and best wishes to all hang in there and be strong<BR>Jenny

Sugarinbritches,<P>Wish we had more South Africans like you on this board. You're fun with a great sense of humor!<BR>We will adopt you as an honorary American, and maybe we can include South Africa as our 51st state. What do you think?<P>Rockaway

I'm from Texas, but my daughter's best friend is from South Africa. She has been in Texas for a little over year, and is definitely a blessing sent from God. Does that count?<P>------------------<BR>"Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." 1 Corinthians 13:7

Well thanks to both of you for your replies, Rockaway thanks so much for being so nice and yes include south africa as your 51st state (lol)I wonder what Mr Clinton will think of that one !<P>Persevering of course that counts and I am happy to hear that your daughters best friend has made such a good impression on ya'll cause I belive in many places in the world we are regarded as "strange". Sure thing it counts I declair you a most honourable South African !<P>Hugs to you all<BR>Jen
