Why do Swedes have big teeth?

My 1963 Volvo 544 only got to 400,000 miles before it died, what’s up with that?

Hey Swedish Guy. How soon is Ford going to announce the sale of Volvo to the Chinese auto maker Geely for $1.8 billion?

Why is Peter Forsberg so...how you say...hot?

What, if anything, does “Uffda!” mean in Swedish?

My father's grandparents came to the United States together from Germany and Sweden. They moved to Nebraska and farmed there, his dad farmed there, and he left the farm after high school to do other things.

One thing we always had growing up, on special occasions, were swedish "little thin" pancakes. They were great! We also occasionally made ebelskivers, but I think those are Danish. There was always a short jar of pickled herring in the refrigerator as long as I can remember. I ate some now and again, it wasn't too bad.

Are lingonberries swedish?

Welcome to Free Republic! I have a question: “how do Swedes view SAAB now? Do they care about the company? Does Sweden have a lot of pride in regards to SAAB and Volvo? Thanks for the answer.

Hello :) There is another Swedish guy who sometimes posts here. I’d love to visit Sweden some day.

In the US and UK children are growing up very sheltered in their day to day activities due to fears of “stranger danger”. Is Sweden the same, or do parents feel more comfortable letting their kids roam?

There is a thread currently up on the sidebar called: Are you new to Free Republic or the tea party.......I forget the rest of it, but you should go there if you want to find out how to navigate the FR site. Best lay low on praise of Obama here. He is public enemy #1 around here. This is a conservative site. We believe in preserving our culture and traditions and learning from past mistakes. Welcome to FR. We do love having members from other countries.

Hej, The Swedish Guy (Den Svenska Gubben/Killen?)! Välkommen! I am Charles Henrickson (Karl Henriksson), and I am the Swedish Ping List master here on Free Republic. When there is a Sweden-related thread posted, we send out a "ping" to notify the rest of the people on the list. I assume that I can add you to the list.

My grandparents came over to America from Bohuslän and settled in Chicago. My cousin now runs the Henriksson family farm in Torbal (between Tanumshede and Lur). I have spent a lot of time in Sweden visiting friends and relatives.

Var bor du i Sverige?

Ping to the Swedish Ping List.

My grandmother was a Swede and made horrible coffee. My mom says it’s a trait of all Swedes and could never understand why Folger’s Coffee had a Swede as their spokesperson back in the 70’s. What’s your opinion?

[InvisibleChurch]

Yes, did an Italian elite force invade Sweden by mistake?

Funny thread ping...

[Pharmboy]

Welcome. I have read that the Swedish Vikings were more interested in trade while the Danish Vikings were more interested in killing and pillaging. Do you learn something similar in school or is my information incorrect?

Thanks for your answer...and don't be put off by the wise guys on this thread. Free Republic prides itself on this and you must admit, some of the IKEA jokes are funny.
