Really? Where are the kids and how old are they?

The kids can be seen under "number of views".

And do you think kids old enough to read should be sheltered from the word "vibrator"?

Hehe, I'm not really a kid but I don't think I can consider myself an adult Laughing

Hi everybody,
This thread is so interesting.

I totally agree with Barb and Jamie about "Have a good day!". I think it's quite polite and friendly.

As for "Good day!", what do you think if one says that as a good-bye with a smile (friendly smile Laughing )?

Hi Nessie

That might be interpreted as a shortened form of "Have a good day".

Something I hear people use a lot over here is "Have a good one". Very Happy

Hehe, I don't know what the common way of saying goodbye is, but I myself like to say "Good day!" or "Have a good day!" very much Razz It sounds somehow very nice and friendly RazzRazz
