  1. Hi,

    The pirates would be controlled if Somalia were under control shame the UN do not do anything about this but they ignore it ditto the situation in Sri Lanka where genocide is happening against the Tamil population.
    And what about some action against the violence and muder against gays in Poland.
    Take care.
    Love,

    • There are so many wrongs on this planet that need to be righted. The situation that was going on – the Captain held hostage – hit very close to home. This pirating has been going on for years, getting worse lately as they become more brazen and perhaps disparate?

  2. Hi,

    You are absolutely correct answers to complex problems are not as swift as we might all like.

    Feel real bad about my response was not seeing it from your point of view.

    Have been thinking about it alot since and am really sorry if I upset you.

    If this had come as close as it does for you then I would have felt like you did.

    The captain was extremely brave and is now quite rightly a hero and thankfully an alive hero who has returned to his family,friends and his crew.

    Hope you have a good Sunday with good weather like we have.

    Love,
    Herrad

  3. Hi,
    Just read this in a UK paper:

    THE family of a Briton held prisoner for seven months by Nigerian pirates were joyous last night after his captors released him.

    The man, boat captain and married father-of-one, Robin “Barry” Hughes, 59, was seized by rebels along with scuba
    diver Matthew Maguire, 34.

    They were captured on September 9 in West Africa as they headed out to an oil rig to work on damaged undersea pipes.

    Bloody hell it has been a long wait for the men and their families, glad they have been released.

    Have been following these stories more closely since the US captain was freed.

    Have a good day.
    Love,
    Herrad

      Sorry I did not answer your responses till now. I have not been spending any time on the computer this past few weeks.

      It is good for me sometimes to do other things LOL – like finish the painting, visit friends, etc.

      I was not the least bit upset about your response about the pirates. I love hearing others opinions and enjoy comments always. it is great that the American captain and the Briton captives were released/rescued.
      .
      Hope I get motivated soon and come up with something to blog about.
