That my English teacher invited me to go on a trip to London with some other classmates.

I'm honored! Now I just have to see if I can go! I'd love to see London.

My daughter is at her friend's house right now rehearsing a dance for the school talent show. A year ago this friend was diagnosed with a very rare type of bone cancer in her leg. The odds weren't good and best case scenario was that she would lose her leg. Thanks to some fantastic medical care she is in remission and dancing! Miracles do happen!

That's brilliant news.

Hey GG a friend of mine was telling me that the Netherlands are bringing in laws that state you can't have weed at cafes or whatever unless you're Dutch? Any truth to that? It would kill tourism

AnCatKatie · 05-20-2012, 07:59 PM

That I met someone called Grace O'Malley and when I mentioned her namesake she knew what I was talking about

Watching Harry Potter movies on TV, even though I've already seen them all.

Sadly, yeah. They've started a pilot May 1st in the southern provinces that you can't buy weed unless you have an access card. So most Dutch people don't go to official coffee shops anymore, as they don't want their names to be in customer records. It's a brilliant move by the government, as it pushes the entire drug scene back into the underground movement.

Fucktards.

The plan is to have it country wide by January 2013. Time to start hoarding I guess.

cobl04 · 05-21-2012, 05:54 AM

Man, that really sucks. Was it creating any issues? Or was it just a massive overreaction?

Galeongirl · 05-21-2012, 05:58 AM

Massive overreaction. The local governments claimed there were too many issues concerning foreigners(Belgians, Germans) coming over to our country solely for the Coffee shops(well DUH). And that they didn't want that anymore.
Well brilliant, now they closed off legal routes, they still come. Yet it's now the illegal drugsrunners that get the profit, rather than government regulated stores. Bunch of morons.

cobl04 · 05-21-2012, 08:01 AM

not cool for such a progressive country!

Galeongirl · 05-21-2012, 08:35 AM

Yep, we're going backwards. Also with the current economy issues, they're raising the prices and tax and shit, rather than cut their own spending. Our government is fucked up.

A friend has had a pretty strained relationship with his two oldest daughters for the past several years and one has even not talked to him in quite some time. They have their reasons and he can be difficult, but he does love them very much so this has been very painful for him. One of the girls had to have brain surgery (the other had the same surgery several years ago -- they are identical twins and this problem was caused by a congenital issue) and her father went there to be with her for this (they live on opposite ends of the earth, so it was a hell of a trip). The surgery (today) went well; both daughters (and their boyfriends) are talking to him; someone he loves very much who is battling alcoholism back home is hanging in there (after a hard relapse last week)....

His life will be messy and complicated again soon -- I swear it's just like a soap opera -- but today it's good. Really good. It's great to see him so happy.

MsPurrl · 05-22-2012, 01:34 AM

indra, he is fortunate to have you for a friend!
