Amen, Snugs. I am sick about BHO's treatment of your country, your PM and your Queen. I am glad that you know us well enough to know that he doesn't speak for us!
I am not sure how we are going to survive four years of this.
Your thread tonight, Snugs, is lovely! Thank you so much for your work. It is surely a place of sanity to remember our beloved GWB and Laura.
Hope you and your dad are well. I saw some pictures of him perhaps last week---he looked good! Are you getting enough rest and are you in a good routine now with him at home again?
Of course I know you and others here on FR and elsewhere well enough to know this does not reflect all or many Americans but it does worry me that if he treats all other countries similar after the gloss a hype has worn off America will be thought of as an ignorant and brash country with no or little interest or respect for other country's traditions and customs. Will he bother to learn some of the Japanese custom's and show due respect to them is one that really jumps to mind knowing how important this is and how even our commissioning engineers at work are taught how to behaviour especially the way of entering and leaving a room where there are important officials and older people present. I cringe to think how Obama will handle situations like that.
You will survive because you are Americans and you know that he does not represent how you feel and treat each other and others of different cultures and view points.
I am fine dad is very tired at present after the broken night's sleep. On the whole though we are settling down to a routine now.
He is having his eye's tested this afternoon his optician has arranged for a domicile visit today at about 2.30
