I still not 100% sure but I think my family name is Swedish. I have been told by people it is but then again I have been told it's German too. My family has been in Australia for a number of generations so it's hard to say.
Have you tried to search the answer? Usually it´s pretty easy to tell if a last name is swedish or german but of course i don´t know this particular case.
Yeah I've tried but it doesn't yield a distinctive result. Thanks for getting back. I'll PM you my last name. I just thought considering you were from Finland you might be able to tell.

Definitely a good place for adventure though. I didn't have a car when I was there but it would be cool to drive all over that place. Out in the country into the highlands and stuff.

Can anyone explain to me why people feel that it is their privelage to behave in the most absolutely rudest way at the grocery store? I was waiting in line patiently as the woman in front of me was getting rung up and then paying. The woman behind me, who had an infant and two small children with her, started to load up the conveyor belt with her groceries and each time she put more stuff on the belt, she shoved me. I finally told her "I can't move up any further- that woman is still getting rung up and paying." The woman behind me was also on welfare and also had those checks from WIC for free groceries. She had them lined up on the conveyor belt with each item. Anyhoo, then she says "I'm gonna flip the **** out!" right in front of her small children! All because I told her to quit shoving me and I could not move up any further until the woman in front of me left! I am getting to the point where I just dread going to the grocery store because of all of the rude people I encounter there! People are always trying to skip the line. You know what- If I see someone has fewer items than me, I usually tell them to go in front of me. But I don't like when people assume that "I'm not in line". Last week I had a woman ask me if I was in line- YES-can't you see I'm standing behind the man who is being rung up and there is also a woman in line behind me! Don't be rude! Aaaahh! I just needed to vent.

I'll quote Schulz here: "I love mankind, it's people I can't stand."

I'm with you PGH-girl. There is NO courtesy anymore. Before I even got to the line in your story, I just knew that she was someone who was getting free groceries--and she was. I was in the grocery store on Saturday, and a couple of the check-out gals told me that earlier the store stank. You see, someone was trying to steal meat by taking the price tag off. Well, apparently they couldn't get the tag completely off and had punched holes in the plastic wrap, so they just stuck the container behind some canned goods to rot. So typical of our society here in the 21st Century...

Yepper. According to some folks here in the U.S. and billboards that I see, tomorrow, Saturday, May 21, 2011, is the end of the world. Since I don't expect to be Raptured, I plan to join friends and loot some stereo equipment and HiDef 3D TVs.
Seriously, I don't want to denigrate anyone's religious beliefs, but it's already May 21 in some parts of the word, and I haven't seen any horsemen of the Apocalypse. Do these seers mean May 21, Eastern Daylight Savings Time? Greenwich Mean Time? If that's it, I need to get my crowbar and board with nails in it ready. ROFL
