You are not the first one to make that request about a love smiley. I shall make it my life's mission to find us a good one. If you know of one we can steal from somewhere, please say!

LOL - I have just arrived with this one!
Now, if you had to choose just one, which would it be? We can't overload Mr. Webmaster, but he may cope with just one more smiley!
Entering smileys isn't something I can do from here - it is a server task, in this instance.

How many species have you had friendships with? I can think of three Dogs, cats and a Gibbons monkey. (ape?)
I think the commentary says it is in Tennessee, USA.

Hi Jo,
You are right. That video is from the Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee, USA
The Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, Tennessee, is the nation's largest natural-habitat refuge developed specifically to meet the needs of endangered elephants...
They have a Camera but I haven't looked in on them for a long while.

Since Conversation is off topic topic:) – any suggestions about the origin of this blanket?
That should be very familiar pattern for Estonians.
But i have to warn you – it’s a tricky question:)
The answer amazed me and i thought i share this with you.
So – what do you think?

I cheated

. So I won't tell.
Feels like a bit of rockets or space-something-or-other got splashed on top of the traditional, though. Like cargo culture?

Without cheating, would have guessed from somewhere in the Balkans, I think.
But maybe also pop / street design: wham - bang - splash. Sorry if it is too irreverent!

Can I guess??? The colors are very similar to what we see in Lapland - the Same people....
Well it's not English, I would say... and it is old, at least the pattern is....So I would say Native American handicraft????
The star............ hmmmmm Sioux???????????????????
I might be completely wrong
