[LHR02]

Holy mackeral Kim! Just heard on the news tonight that there were two bombings in Bali today.....one at a nightclub and one near the US Consulate. Sure am glad you are home.....else I would have been one worried 'mom'!

edited to take out that word I used that the system changed....

God, I know..I've been following it all day.

As it stands 60 people are dead and 120 injured, most of them are tourists.

It was in Kuta where we did all our shopping and went in for dinner pretty much every night.

Glad I am safe at home but my heart goes out to those with family and friends in Bali at the moment. Or to those who were so excited about an up and coming trip..

The violence in our world is really heart wrenching..

(PS Took off the word censors-didn't know they were on. I think in this case, holy shit is quite fitting!)

[Kim]

Updates say that now the death toll is at 171 with 294 injured.

Ah Kim.......girl I just saw your post on that 'other' place.....and I know how upset you are and how personally you are feeling this.....

but, my 'bloody stumps' remain from previous run ins with those two and you've been there longer than me! Don't let them bother you too much, and best advice, just stay out of it. You'll never win. It's their proud personna (sp) to be cruel I think.

I know what they are like and at this point, it's not about winning-it's about standing up for those who were killed and maimed...

God, image if you were killed and your family had to read trash like that on the internet? I just can't stand by and not react. I know I'm asking for it but that's fine, I'm a big girl-bring it on!

The ignorance just kills me, Ging... I mean 13 days earlier and I was THERE, right there... How can people make jokes about it??

I was just looking at a photo of a mom and dad looking for their 15 year old daughter.. it absolutely breaks my heart.

I know I've taken it so personally cause I was just there, just walking down that street, talking to those people..just hit me so close to home.

So... let the battle begin!

PS MWC is my new best friend..go read the post now..

Kim -
I also read of the conversation you are speaking of.
Screw them! Those guys just like to hear themselves "type" sometimes.

I'm on your side!

And I am glad to hear you are safe, but can't imagine how shaken you must feel. My heart goes out to all the families and friends of those lost.

[Kim]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that.

I do feel shaken-the last night we stayed we were in Bali we stayed late in Kuta and would have been in a restaurant right beside the Sari club had it been 13 days earlier. I've been waking up my boyfriend cause I keep having nightmares and talking in my sleep about Bali.

I really appreciate the support-it would be easier to get over without the ignorance of these people but I guess the world is made up of many kinds..

Thanks again,
Kim

Kim,
You know, I hope, that I support you. ;D But, as an aside I have to say that I would support satan himself against Jboy. God, I just detest that kid, he is so in love with his own dissension. I can't even grant him the ignorance of youth.....he is just plain ignorant. As a general rule, I try to avoid any post he makes. Just don't EVER let him join here...please!

[Kim]

LOL at suporting satan over jboy...that cracked me up.

Thank god we don't have any trouble makers on this board as bad as him, he is a nightmare.

BTW.....Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you had a real feast and a great family evening!
