Hi, everyone! And thank you very much for the many comments about the fall of the wall and Reichskristallnacht
and what we should celebrate, what we should ponder, etc.
It was most interesting.
Many said, why not celebrate and at the same time remember the Nazi era, etc? We could do both.
Many said, we could see it like this:

I would like to ask parents to be careful with personal ads.
I have a personal ad here — I won’t show it on camera,
otherwise you’d be able to discover the identity of the proud parents and that would be unfair.
A child by the name of Maila is born, and the proud family announces:
“Out of the belly, straight into the heart.”
Ouch!
I’m currently having problems with my computer:
the graphics card isn’t playing ball any more and is taking applications down with it, one after another.
That’s a bit problem for me. At some point, I’ll probably have to buy a new computer,
with Windows 7 — I hope everything goes smoothly.
I hope that this computer can hang on until I have time to buy a new PC,
otherwise I’ll have this problem, because...
if, in the middle of a video, I suddenly—
