Need a Kanji Translated? Just ask!

Hello all, I was told about this website from a friend and perhaps i can get help telling what this poster means. First let me say I am very interested in Japanese sports history and can usually find what I need through a search but this one has me stumped. Looks like it could be from the Olympics back in 1972 when it was held in Sapporo but I am not sure. Hopefully someone can help thank you

For a ski school run by Mainichi Shinbun (newspaper).
 
Awesome, thank you very much. It gives me something to go on to see if there is any interesting history to it or did any famous skiers competed.
 
Hello, my friend gave me this beautiful kanji art but didn't know what it says. Can you help by translating it for me please? Thank you!

 
？（素？）？家？愛
家和萬事成
If your home is peaceful, everything goes well.
萬事亨通
Everything goes well and smoothly.
寿福康寧
Longevity, Fortune, Tranquility
海？（君？若？）

Google search suggests that that might be related to a Korean religious organization. (I have to point out that that's not a well-written calligraphy.)
 

Thank you very much!!
 
You don't know your name even in your native language?? Or, "cupofnoodles" is the one you are talking about?

No mother hates her child enough to give it a name like that.
 
You're on the internet mate, there's a bunch of people out there who already know your real name and what you like to have in your sandwich for lunch just because you're surfing the web (especially if you have a Facebook account).

If you still don't want to tell us, don't worry you still have two possibilities from here: 1) you send a PM to anyone who's willing to receive a PM from you and you tell them your name, 2) you look for a website that will do the translation for you.

But I really don't think anyone would take interest in knowing your real name. Except if you're James Bond... maybe... but then you'd probably be using a public computer and... nah you wouldn't give us your name even in a PM, if you were James Bond. You'd learn Japanese instead.

Is that what is meant to just ask?

Sorry I did, thanks for the warm welcome

What are we supposed to do? You came to a public forum asking people to translate your name...which you won't tell us because you don't want to give your name in public.

You can choose to give your name or not, but we're not going to play twenty questions or beg you to tell us so we can help you.

Again, what are we supposed to do?
 
Hello everyone
I recently purchased this lovely kimono, despite not knowing what the japanese character on it means and since I actually don't enjoy being a total poser (or an idiot) - can anyone tell me what this stands for? I'd truly appreciate it!
 
The original meaning is "number one", and it can represent "the best" as same as in English.
 
There's a word I came across while reading a manga recently. I've seen the kanji, but never these three together. I've tried kanji dictionaries and checking radical dictionaries, but to no avail. It looks like "言同子". My searches are coming up empty. It appears to be an insult. I've attached the image below, as well. Is anyone familiar with this? Many thanks!

It's almost certainly supposed to be
調子のんな （調子に乗るな)
 
Okay, that makes sense. I guess the kanji in the picture was just missing a couple strokes. Don't know if the artist did that on purpose or not. Thanks a lot!
 
Can someone please translate my friends kanji its on a daruma doll
