What is wrong with us humans? We worship all the wrong stuff, why can't we get our act together?
It was great to hear about all the nice, kind people you met and befriended. What an education, learning about other cultures first hand, just awesome.
Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us. Your article was so well written, good story telling, points made without a lot of hum bug. hehe
You and Pura look like a very happy couple, nice photos of the two of you.
Enjoyed the read very much. Take care of each other.
Happy Holidays !!Hello my friend @dandays, what an extraordinary adventure you have been on.What an eye opener working with all those other volunteers at the refugee camp. Some pretty grim stories there. That poor soul Omar, the horrors of war.
The only thing that would’ve made this response better is if I would’ve read it first! What a pleasant way to start my day—thank you, @farm-mom!
Thank you mentioning “well written,” I really appreciate that. I spend a lot of time on my articles hoping they’re released error free, thank you noticing and letting me know.
I wish I knew why those in power did what they do, too. It’s gross. <-preceded by a foul four letter wOrd. I never intentionally set out to introduce a couple from California as the ones who could change a few people’s mind where they’re “Americans are good people” but, @farm-mom, we’re going to do our best to do that exact thing one person at a time.
We’ve met some really amazing people amongst our travels and we know we’re blessed to be in this position, very well aware it can all be taken away from us at any time so we’re just enjoying the ride. What kind of people would we be if we didn’t share it with you and yours and anyone else who will listen? 😉 Thanks a lot for keeping an eye on us, thank you appreciating what I have to say, and don’t ever be a stranger!
Happy Friday, @farm-mom. You know.. knuckles to you know who.
This is not what our Lord intended us to become. Your are right on with enjoying what you have because for sure, it can be gone in split second.
Sending hugs to you and pura, hope you have a blessed Christmas.😃🎅🤶Good morning @dandays thanks for you kind words. I think it's awesome that you are able to experience the world through your travels. It must have been quite satisfying although sad to work at the refugee camp. My heart breaks for all the innocent people, especially the children, who suffer at the hands of these horrible people who hate so much, war is the only answer.
You say some of the nicest things—you’ve come a long way, Mrs. Jurg, from avoiding this platform to owning it. You guys lead by example as it is with your double and a half century vows you’ve kept so when you have something to say...
I listen.
I’ll stop by your contender before too long but here’s a pre congratulations on the reward—it’s nice to see your efforts receiving recognition.
I feel like it’s Christmas already because I got two big huge responses from The Sweed—I love it when does that!
Awee, bromance coming on, sweet. I want you to know the sweed must really like you because he is very close with his feelings. he knows the difference right off if someone is sincere or just faking it. I, on the other hand just want to believe all people are good, trustworthy. I must say, it's good we met so young because I probably would have gotten into sit that wasn't right for me. That's why I love him so much, he has always taken such good care of me.
I sense you do the same @dandays for your lovely pura.❤
That extended period of time he and I were radio silent was like losing a best friend. I’m sure you had a lot to do with clearing that one up—thank you! Sometimes my jokes rub people the wrong way, I intentionally go for the jugular at times and never did I, nor will I, do that with him. Even Pura was “what did you do?” I said “I really was just trying to be funny!!!” Mwah from Rome, @farm-mom, have a great weekend you guys. ❤️
It wasn’t until I met Pura I learned what it takes to ‘want to’ be a better person. I’m sure you and for sure he knows what I mean by that.
Good afternoon @dandays, yes, I am glad the two of you are chatting again, he was unhappy also, in turn so was I. I just hit him upside his head and said let go, gave him a tickle and a hug, and joked about the bromance. Told him every time you mentioned him or sent him the knuckles, then finally said, ok the guy's an A-hole, but we are all A-holes sometimes, he's still your friend. Let's have a group hug and move on. Simple as that...😀😍😎
