UKCruiseJeff Posted August 9, 2017 #3276 Share Posted August 9, 2017 It was just a pizza without cheese really ..... the tomato had lots of oregano and chopped up anchovy. I cooked it a bit lower than Neapolitan. I see that nice Mr Trump decided in a totally of the cuff set of unplanned and unconsulted and unrehearsed set comments, to set about trying to provoke a totally unpredicatable Kim Yong-un into pre-emptive conflict. Not clever bigly as the great man would say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camillus112 Posted August 9, 2017 #3277 Share Posted August 9, 2017 "Not nice" is right! But he needs a war more than George Bush needed 9/11 to remain in power. Maybe KY-un turns out to be reasonable... "maybe" is a hyperbole... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKCruiseJeff Posted August 9, 2017 #3278 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Having two totally unpredictable and "emotionally unstable" leaders who know that they will be physically out of harms way in any terrible conflict isn't something to make the rest of us sleep easy. Trump seems totally out of control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKCruiseJeff Posted August 9, 2017 #3284 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Yes, M ... you highlight the obious. The more people at the very top of the administration talk utter rubish and nonsense the more sensible people have cause to be extremely concerned.

Solo mi! Posted August 9, 2017 #3286 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Jeff, I have to explain, I am a Gemini so there's two of me, and both agree with you. I'm a Gemini too, Camillus and I totally agree with you and Jeff. My husband and I spent three years in a Warsaw Pact country and the former Yugoslavia, and what Trump is doing is frightening. You certainly should tone down the response when dealing with North Korea. Diplomacy can and does work....but then again, there is presently not a US ambassador in South Korea.

UKCruiseJeff Posted August 9, 2017 #3287 Share Posted August 9, 2017 However, he knows that he is the most popular President in American history because twice a day he receives a folder full of positive press views and flattering pictures of himself. This is of course not considered "fake news". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKCruiseJeff Posted August 10, 2017 #3295 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Thanks Mysty.It's all good. Let us all celebrate whatever we can. Life is short. Eat dessert first. I was extremely lucky finding my wifey first time. I realised that she never saw any bad in anyone. So there was hope for me. She asked me to marry her over several years and a refusal often offends. We have a mere forty eight years and there has never been any serious disharmony. I reckon the key things are to remember you cannot "unsay" something said in anger. So don't say it. So if you are losing your temper leave the room and calm down. Feelings must never be hurt. Also never let things go so you forget your better half is still an individual with the germ you first saw that made you succumb. I'm lucky in that I make her laugh every day and I keep her fed. I still think of her as being very young and needing looking after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mysty Posted August 10, 2017 #3296 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Beautiful J! Myster and I are on 39 years. And I knew before he did. :) I am a Scorpio. I am blessed with this dear lad and I thank the universe repeatedly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jpalbny Posted August 10, 2017 #3298 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Ah, you all make me smile! Only 22 years here but looking forward to a few bazillion more. Spins, nice anniversary treat! I am old enough to remember when Nixon resigned... Jeff, I think I treat Chris pretty similarly. It's in my best interest, as she takes me on nice vacations, and buys me nice toys. :D On call this week and weekend. Hopefully off to sleep soon.

UKCruiseJeff Posted August 10, 2017 #3299 Share Posted August 10, 2017 JP You are a VERY wise man. :D The key thing is always to apologise very quickly even if you have done nothing wrong. When I think of all those lost years when I didn't apologise quickly enough and not nip the conflict in seconds. With the benefit of hindsight you never win the war if you try and win the battle, but conceding the battle generously and quickly always brings a truce and welcome concessions. If only I knew then what I know now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
