Anyone watched the debate last night?

I'm sure some would be leaning towards Christy and possibly even Carson.

I am positive it'd better be someone who can collapse Hillary, as I'm sure she'll be the one on the liberal side.

Would the poor people of thirld world countries be able to get rid of insincere and selfish leadership....get rid of corrupt culture...get rid of vvip culture...get rid of fundamentalism..get rid of vicious circle of poverty...
Every day they live with the hope but to no fruite as the elite class corrupt politicians would never allow this to come true..

....on Monday, when the Neo-Con who was ruining the country got tossed out of office. Okay, elected out of office.

This song is dedicated to Mr. Stephen Harper and any other politicians who plunder the country they were elected to govern.

I will not be bashful, I would vote for Bernie Sanders any day of the week, he is for the 99% of us. He is accused of being a Socialist, so what, we do not have a Democracy any more, so which is better, Socialism or Capitalism, which would be the best for the average individual? The Scandinavians are Socialists and they care for all individuals and have more time off from work to enjoy life. Join me, vote for Bernie.

It's so good to be home. I admit, no matter how beautiful and exciting a trip and vacation is, there's no place like home. I missed my children, my love, my beamer, the wide and spacious roads, and all that is American. I used to rent a car before but this time being driven by friends is simply wonderful. I thank you so much Phil for driving your beautiful car (Citroën, full size top of the line). Now I can truly say I am an expert in driving a right side driver car having driven them from England, Australia, Switzerland and France. Amazing how almost all taxis are now Mercedes E class it used to be BMW. Most cars are very small compared to my country, virtually no big SUVs, no trucks like our crew cabs here. And definitely not many luxury cars like we have. Heck I have seen more Ferraris, Aston martin, Porsche and M650/550, here than there.

The good thing is 130 km is a regular speed limit which is awesome compared to California which is 70 miles per hour. And not a single sheriff, police of highway patrol on the road. Needless to say I enjoyed driving without restraint, except Phil and Tess scolded me if I drove past the speed limit. But thanks again Phil for trusting me in driving your beautiful car.

For shopping, merchants in Europe charge 12 percent from customers, while in the US, the merchant pays the CC. I made a mistake using my credit card from shopping on the first three days. After that I withdrew Euro cash from my bank through ATM.

I used to shop a lot when US dollar was higher than Franc or Lira but today our dollar is cheaper by .7 percent than the euro. Buying a Louis Vuitton tote is cheaper at the Broadway in Santa Monica than in France where it's made.

I have mostly flown Swiss Air from the US to Europe before but there's only a direct flight from LA or NY so I flew Delta for the first time and it's okay until they left 250 baggage in Paris and I'm not happy about it.

Anyways, this blog is to thank so many good friends who I met in Paris, most are CS members but this is specifically to Phil and Tess who has shown me the true "France", the country side. Also Brian and Roz (Scotland) Mick and Pat (Ireland), and Mark and Ann (England).

I have had the most memorable experience with all of you and I hope to see you in the US next year.

For hotels I'm so lucky to be a member of 4 and 5 star hotels and 50 percent discount helped a lot. I can't complain on our stay at the Holiday Inn which is a walking distance to the Eifel tower. A last minute decision so I can at least rest one day before my flight but Tess and I decided to stroll Mont Parnassus section and it was fun.

But having been accommodated by the most wonderful hospitality of Phil in his beautiful and sprawling Chateau, Tess and I felt like queens. The elegance, the Atrium, huge bathroom. I never expected such a hospitality. Thanks again Phil. Tess and I planned on staying on a hotel but your kindness and generosity, we're simply blessed. Driving to all the different historical places like Carnac, château, (Mont St Michel), just amazing. I wish I know how to upload pictures, I'd show them here.

Thank you again my friends for making this vacation most memorable and exciting. I will hopefully bring my children next year to see Europe before it's completely changed.

Obama Calls Donald Trump with Debate Advice

Gheesh, what a stupid act she did for implementing an open door policy to all the migrants and now that it is beyond control she is calling for a summit to find a solution to this colossal problem.

Note: It was proven that there is only a very few percentage of these seekers as true refugees, majority of them are economic migrants.

There is a wave of migration going on in Europe. At first they were thought of to be refugees. Record show however, that for every 100 of them accounted for, about few are truly in need of refuge.

Since Germany opened its doors they now swarm the whole European Nation.

The question is: Is this really a move to seek refuge? Or is it more of an economic motivated migration?

Note: The latest report is that unrest is exploding due to the unprecedented invasion and inability of most countries to accommodate them. In fact all the borders are tightened and Merkel is calling for an emergency summit.

What impact has this wave done to the whole of Europe in terms of economic, social and political system?

Thank you all for your read and participation.

Different countries, different refugees, same problems? I don’t think Britain should open its borders to hundreds of thousands of people who think our benefits system is a cash cow to be milked to the last drop. I do think those in desperate need should be given refuge. I don’t know how to tell the difference and have been on the fence but this article, spotted on Facebook, was thought-provoking. I can’t always be a flitterbug blogger.

I hate this photograph. It wasn't part of the article, and I think it is emotionally manipulative in the extreme - but it made me cry anyway.



I’m not blocking comments, but I don’t expect any.

(The writer, Frankie Boyle, is an angry Scottish comedian, very Tartan Noir, but he turned serious to have his say on the refugee crisis dominating our news at the moment.)


We invade their countries and justify it by saying that our way of life is better, then boggle at the idea they might think living here is great. We pay no attention to how our actions in other countries have precipitated the situation. There has to be something wrong with a world where the best employment option for a farmer in Africa isn’t being a farmer but crossing the Mediterranean on a punctured lilo, only to spend days dangling under a lorry so he can end up selling lollipops in a nightclub toilet. Our indifference is staggering. For a lot of these people their best chance of survival is to dress up as a leopard and hope to get Twitter onside.

Of course the true existential threat to us might come from ourselves. If we can look at another human being and categorise them as ‘illegal’ or that chilling American word ‘alien’, then what has become of our own humanity? To support policies that dehumanise others is to dehumanise yourself. I think most people resist that, but are pressed toward it by an increasingly sadistic elite. If you’re worried about threats to your way of life, look at the people selling the public services from under you. The people who will destroy this (British) society are already here: printing their own money, printing their own newspapers, and responding to undesirables at the gates by releasing the hounds.

Although I have not looked, I have been told that the mods have a profile of their own.

From what I gather, the mod is quite a tall, hunky guy (or so he says) looking for women 25 and older.
Makes me wonder whether the mod has dated people onsite, no doubt he has lots of experience to draw upon from peeking at the seduction lines the rest of us have written.

That said, if any of the mods are dishy, sexy or curvy women that fancy my profile and want a holiday in Tenerife..... Dont hesitate, get in touch! (I promise not to pester you for all those little secrets you know about us... well perhaps a little!)
