1:26 am

grannyrose

wow!!! even better news. i hope they are both feeling the relief and happiness.

1:27 am

1:29 am

sprite

will you be going home tomorrow? Or am I a day off as usual?

1:29 am

grannyrose

good friend you are sprite. some flowers maybe, or better, a plant which will bloom every year to remind them of this wonderful news and time.

1:30 am

grannyrose

you aren't a day off at all. dr john sent me home early as i was feeling so well.

1:30 am

sprite

I am bringing a pebble I painted for him, as a power rock. And a cuddly toy to keep him company.

1:30 am

sprite

oh how wonderful! So you are home already, that is great news.

1:32 am

grannyrose

tomorrow we start tying up the last of the few loose ends remaining, apart from the grandkiddies demanding our presence on grandparents day at their school.

1:33 am

sprite

awwww so precious. You are taking enough layered clothing with you, right? The weather here is never constant. It might be hot, it might be cold, and everything in between.

You can only enjoy the warm weather and the garden in the meantime Ruby - and of course the puppies! Worrying can't help anything and certainly won't help you - try to put it out of your mind and enjoy the moment. XX

7:46 am

thinking it will take me longer than that

7:48 am

Judi

Greetings, Babblers. Love, embraces and prayers for our British family.

7:52 am

rururocks

Nice Judi. I despise terrorist actions in Europe

7:53 am

Sam Snead

Surely ALL terrorist actions should be despised?

7:53 am

Judi

I despise terrorist actions anywhere.

7:55 am

Judi

Killing children at a concert. Unbelievable.

7:56 am

cybernan

all of the terrorist acts are deplorable and cowardly

8:04 am

cybernan

*!* hagd everyone

8:06 am

rururocks

I wish they would just keep their terrorist crap in the Arab countries in the middle east and sort it out there amongst themselves. ( and leave Israel out of it)

8:09 am

rubyfoo

It is hard to feel safe anywhere.n I'm even nervois in this backwater, reluctant to go to the mall in Annecy.

8:12 am

rururocks

I doubt they could find Annecy. But no one is truly safe anywhere while this festers

8:15 am

Judi

You really have to keep a hairy eyeball when in large crowds. Even then, you never know when some nut job with a martyr wish will pop up.

8:17 am

rururocks

What is really the point of killing innocent people?

8:18 am

rururocks

What is the gain?

8:19 am

Judi

Islamic terrorists (ISIS, ISIL, etc. etc.) believe in a strict ideology. They believe that those who live in Western culture are sinful - an abomination according to their interpretation of their religion.

8:19 am

rubyfoo

They want to create fear and uncertainty

8:20 am

Judi

It is their belief that it is an obligation to kill those who do not adhere to their religion.

8:20 am

rururocks

The only certainty is that England will bomb the shit out of them

8:20 am

rururocks

Or the US will

8:21 am

rubyfoo

And limit our freedoms through making us reluctant to travel, congregate, seek Entertainment, etc.

8:22 am

rubyfoo

You really think England will?

8:22 am

rururocks

*tries to imagine Ruby in a Burka*

8:22 am

Judi

There are no go zones in Britain - Muslims living in certain clusters. These Muslims practice Sharia law, subjugate and enslave women, and generally ignore local and national law. THEY ARE ALLOWED TO DO THIS by Britain. Time to take out the trash I say.

8:24 am

Judi

Happy to change the subject....Anyone have a clue for the Ra7?

8:25 am

rururocks

Young rat ruffians ra7

8:25 am

rubyfoo

There has been an enormous change here in the 18 years since I arrived. Although tthere were many muslims, the women were friendly (I shopped in a halaal butcher) and weren't in hijabs.

8:26 am

rubyfoo

Now, they are and no longer make eye contact

8:26 am

rubyfoo

are in hijabs*

8:27 am

Judi

France has much the same problem as Britain, Ruby. Again, time to take out the trash. Maybe allow the women and children to stay, but the Muslim men (those who subscribe to Sharia law and ignore French laws) need to be deported.

8:28 am

Judi

Ty for the clue, Ru. Fireworks.

8:29 am

rururocks

Yw judi

8:31 am

rururocks

It is not going to be fun flying now

8:32 am

Judi

America also shares the same problem. I would say the vast majority of Muslims who want to enter this country as "refugees" or "immigrants" deserve the more accurate label of "infiltrators".

8:33 am

rubyfoo

I won 't fly any more or even take a train. I'm glad I travelled so much before, both for work and for pleasure. This is it for me.

8:33 am

Judi

Sure, Ru. Security everywhere will be ramped up again. That's all well and good, but terrorists aim for soft targets. Drive a car or truck into a crowd on the street. Blow yourself up in an arena. Shoot up a mall.

8:35 am

Judi

They are cowardly and unconscionable and therefore difficult to defend against.

8:37 am

rururocks

I agree with those 2 comments

8:37 am

Judi

I've blathered on enough. Time to get to work.

8:37 am

Judi

See y'all tomorrow! *POOF*

9:19 am

Sam Snead

Only just seen some of the comments about immigrants. Although some relevant points are made, some of the comments are ignorant and outrageous.

9:19 am

Sam Snead

9:20 am

Sam Snead

sorry!!

9:22 am

moolingwa

and that's fw

9:22 am

moolingwa

that has to be the quickest grid I've ever done

9:25 am

moolingwa

I too find outright bans to be problematic. In the US, there are far many more attacks committed by right wing extremists, than there are by terrorists, but muslims, and muslim males seem like an easy target. Of those terror attacks that do occur, a significant number were perpetrated by people who were either born in the US or naturalized here.

9:26 am

moolingwa

I think there's also a case to be made that banning muslims, either male, or blanket bans, would do more to alienate those in the country, and perhaps have the opposite effect of that which is intended

9:27 am

Sam Snead

Good to see some common sense on an emotive subject.

9:27 am

hego

9/11 is the last time an American was killed by a foreign born terrorist. And they were Saudis.

9:28 am

mattygroves

Wow. Some truly ugly and ignorant ('taking out the trash') comments. I'm ever so glad this is not my first time on the chog - I'd hate to think what a newby would think based on some of what was said. And, for the record, the whole no-go thing is a lie peddled by Fox News. Sharia Law has no legal basis here and if individuals tried to enforce it, where it contradicted British law would find themselves in hot water.

9:28 am

mael

a ban is an insane and reactionary proposition, which is based on emotions and not actual prevention of anything

9:32 am

aebmusica

te6/21.....clue please

I think Judi's comments were over the top

9:36 am

godthaab

Judi, I saw your comment. You are right. The UK has let in people that complain against the government. They have also let in a lot of known terrorists.

9:39 am

mattygroves

Since when is complaining against the government a deportable offense?

9:39 am

hego

Travel in certain parts of London and Paris can be disconcerting.

9:40 am

hego

They are forever changed.

9:40 am

godthaab

Matty - look at Germany in World War II, look at Uganda under Idi Amin, Look at Saudi Arabia, Look at Thailand....

I still can't find the d, eveen trying morewords, or the 7.

9:52 am

rubyfoo

And hello Hego

9:53 am

Godthaab: I don't get what parallel you are drawing

9:55 am

...where complaining against the government can be a death sentence, and often was.
