    I would be curious to know exactly what you are thinking as you gaze at the pineapple flag. I'm from Hawaii and as a sailor in the Navy the guys called me "pineapple" ... so when ever I wrote letters I'd add a little doodle of a pineapple next to my signature, I'd sometimes draw a pineapple on my folders and notebooks because everyone would then know who to return it to if it was found.

    I'm wondering why you aren't friends with your neighbor so you could simply ask? I always find it intesting to learn about other people, their cultures, experiences etc. I remember once talking to a very old man who had been in world war II. I asked him what it was like and he shared with me some very interesting thoughts.

    Many cultures have different symbols and flags that stand for different things. Some are good and some are bad, if you take the time to find out, it will be an education.

    Lets take the art to Tatoo... many kids like to have them these days and yet many don't know why... In some cultures it started as cuts in the skin to show how much one would be willing to suffer as a honor to someone who has just died. Later they found out how to add colors using extracts from different plants, etc.

    When you really think about it, why would anyone put a permanent tatoo on their body when they don't permanently use the same clothes or shoes year after year? Oh because shoes and clotes change with the time and trends and you age. So could tatooing be out of trend a few years from now? hmmmm then we would pay $$ to have them removed, which is what many are doing today.

    Guess the general emphasis of my comments is time is short, learn as much as you can by grabbing all the data/information you can, Analyze it, and apply to your life. The more of this you do up front, will mean less pain, money and efforts on the back end..

    I always told my kids... analyze, scrutinize and realize.... in all that you do...

    I understand it's the universal symbol of hospitality and domestic happiness.
