I'm sorry that I haven't posted recently. I suspect that many of you may be wondering what has happened to us. Our lives continue. We are enjoying life as best we can. And, we are having some fun. But most of our recent focus has been on the current political world. I don't want to go there in this blog. I'm not taking a political side, because I don't believe that any one individual or political party can know what is right or the best course of action. But I do feel a need to share that writing this current blog has become very trivial compared to how divided we seem to have become in this country. That saddens and disturbs me greatly.
Any news that is not liked by our current administration is labeled "Fake News". And,yes, there is a lot of "Fake News" out there. So, how do we decide what is "Fake News"? Is it anything we don't agree with? Or do we need to find better ways to figure out what is fake and what is not? I don't have an answer.
Our two legislative bodies are very divided and it seems clear that members of both parties don't respect members from the other party. What happened to being able to listen and learn from each other? What happened to working together for the common good?
We seem to have lost so much at this time. Our history is full of wonderful statesmen and consensus builders. But,stop and think about it ... among all of our current political leaders (over the past twenty years), who is going to stand out in history as a statesman or a consensus builder? There are a few, but too few.
How did we become so divided? And, how do we recover? How do we learn to talk together and respect each other?
When I can stop worrying about the world we are leaving to our children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, etc ... I'll try to return to this blog.

Dear Susan, understanding the problem is the key to solve it. However, this is way above your head and you can only go so far with it. I don't want to make this a political site (oh, no!), if you like how a Dutch guy looks at your nation, please send me a mail. If you didn't save my adress, just reply to this posting and I'll get into touch.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes, Lindsay & Marco
Thank you Lindsay and Marco. I have no intention of turning this into a political blog. I just wanted to share with my readers why I have been absent.
ReplyDeleteI do still have your email address, and just belatedly responded to a couple of emails from you. I apologize, but I haven't been checking that email very frequently lately.
I would love to hear from you concerning the Dutch view of the US (and the world). But, let's keep it separate from this blog.
Hello miss Susan, I added 2 mailings to your mailbox. One is about my concerns with the US today, the other is a brief report about our BDSM-adventure. Please enjoy and, please, do reply on either. I am always open for other persons ideas and views. Best wishes, Marco.
DeleteI'm sad for you Susan. For me it's all the more reason to enjoy yourself with your partner and let the politics go. For those of us that care deeply about others and our world it is hard to do, but I believe we must or the awfulness will over take us. Wishing you the very best, Penney

ReplyDeleteBe assured that many of us are interested in politics. Occasionally we need relief from it all and what better way than to get the paddle out and hand it to your wife.
ReplyDeleteALL THANKS TO DOCTOR STEVE FOR HELPING ME WITH THE ISSUES OF MISCARRIAGE.
ReplyDeleteI had a miscarriage in 2013. We’d only been trying to get pregnant for a couple of months, and when I got that first positive pregnancy test, it felt a little bit like a whoops! Well, okay. One evening, I came home from a book reading and was bleeding. I quickly turned to all my pregnancy books, and to the internet, all of which told me that a little bleeding could be normal and fine, but the longer it went on, and the more pain I was in, what was happening became clear. The bleeding wasn’t stopping, and neither was the pain. Even though it was obvious enough what was going on, I refused to take any pain medication. Because you’re not supposed to take blood thinners when you’re pregnant. That was how I lost my first pregnancy. And in two others in the same year I had to look for solution, because our family Doctor could not help, he has given us a lot of prescription but non worked, I had to look for solution on line and saw the contact of Dr Steve I contacted him through the mail and made purchase for his product which is a permanent solution to Miscarriage. Now am having two kids and I promise to tell the whole world about him if he helps me out. You can contact him for solution on drsteve833@gmail.com for a good solution to miscarriage.
