That your messages can show up on Twitter as well, (if you have a Twitter account.)so all your friends will see the messages, and hopefully send their own!

5. What is the phrase that has been going around in Japan?

Basically it means Go For It. I heard a reference to this on NPR a month ago and can't find it again, maybe someone will know what I'm talking about lol.

My heart is with you Japan!

7. The phrase you are looking for is

Ganbatte Kudasai Nihon! (polite)

or

Ganbareyo Nihon!! (More of a cheer or command)

(It means, Do Your Best, Japan!)

9. Domo Arigato!

Hopefully I've spelled that properly, please excuse me if I haven't.

I wish I could give the whole country a hug.

6. What if we were all nice to our fellow DUers, if only for a day?

Via http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=439&topic_id=1118381&mesg_id=1118381

... And this got me thinking...all those people in the computer screen that you spar with have lives, and loves, and families just like you. What if we were all nice to our fellow DUers, if only for a day? Sure, lots of people piss you off. Sure, it seems like those "others" are hardly human sometimes, what with the vitriolic, violent poo-flinging that goes on around here. And yet...how about cutting 'em some slack today? It wouldn't hurt, would it? Just for one isolated, solitary day? ...

10. Thank you for posting this.

I just wish I had mad skills of the medical variety so I could really help.
