OLD NEWS OFF TOPIC.

Greetings from Her Majesty's Canadian Subjects.

From the time I was a little girl, God Save the Queen was something we all learned… And something I hold very dear to me as my own Family hails from the the Highlands of Scotland.

For the celebrations, my entire Family and our Clan will be celebrating Her Majesty's 60 year reign as our Soverign, wearing nothing but our very best to proudly display our heritage and loyalty to the Crown.

Long Live our Noble Queen, God Save our Queen!

Hiya's…

    I agree with Covems, I was one of the 22.77 million.  I watched the entire broadcast and a lot of the pre-wedding coverage and a lot of the post-wedding coverage.

  Queen Elizabeth II is a person that I greatly admire.  She carries herself with a grace and dignity that I envy.  Her Diamond Jubilee will get a lot of coverage here in the U.S. and I will be among the millions watching.  And Brandybee, you are so right that the Pagentry of the English and all the Royals from all the countries for that matter, are a sight to see.  We here in the U.S. have nothing that matches that.

  So I join the chorus from around the world…

  God Save The Queen

Thanks for letting me share,
Pafe

William of Orange is the one who initiated the rebellion against the Spanish conquerors in the 16thy century, which led to the '80 year-war'. in 1648 the northern part of the netherlands seperated and formed a republic. In 1815 the Netherlands became a monarchy, the family of Orange claiming that position. The famous quote of William I is: Je maintiendrai. Which means: “I will uphold”. It is still used on the passports of dutch nationals.

The current heir to the thrown is named after him, Willem-Alexander. And as they say, behind every strong man is a strong woman. In this case, the choice for an Arentinnian, fiesty woman turned him from a softie, into someone that we can trust the country with. They have 3 children, all daughters. So, if the monarchy still exists by that time, after a King we will have a Queen again.

Had a good friend I met on Achat from Napoli I haven't seen for awhile. But she went MIA before the earthquake though. My heart goes out for all of Italy and their time of sorrow and grief.  I've been deployed there way back in the 90's during the Bosnia conflict. Loved it there and got to do some site seeing while there. Rome, the Vatican and Venice as well. Beautiful women and friendly, happy people.. Want to go back there some day and spend more site seeing time..

[chien_lubrik]

My !?! won't this ever end ?

I really hope so … no kinds peoples of the DreamWorld had suffered from the nature's wrath hopefully ( as it seem ) but my thoughs are with the ones who have their live taken, their owns devastated … and for the families.

I know the Italian Peoples, the bulgarian peoples ( another earthquake last week ) will rise. I hope they will rise even higher.

Well sometime words are useless, this is one of this time.

Sorry.

Thoughts and prayers out to those affected by such. A volatile situation working amidst structures already weakened by the major one which hit the area earlier. Living in an area prone to shakers (we have at least one here daily  I hope the region will take note and work to earthquake proof the existing structures, till then those affected not be frozen in fear of mother natures powerful hand.

Sad to see the cultural sites impacted, but much sadder to hear of the loss of life. I echo chien_lubrik with hopes that no one in our community has been impacted by this.

Such matters reinforce a belief that all should keep and maintain an emergency kit, rations and water for at least 3 days for each family member stuffed away. No matter where you live, the potential for a disaster exists.

My thoughts are with all people who were injured, lost friends or estate. There is not much more to say then all of you alreday have said, just one small about us all.
If you think of the victims of a disaster, we all should take one minute and think about us. Very often we think that our problems are the most important in the world, but at all they are just small flashes and absurd in compare with those who are injured or lost anything.
We claim if the A-Team doesn't give us our most needed poses… it's ok and it's allowed. But sometimes we should take a coffee, sit down and think about the things we are able to do, we are allowed to do and we own (and I don't talk just about material things, also bout friends, health, possibilities we just do have because we live in freedom….) If there is one little chance to learn something then this:

Be happy because you are able to be happy.

Lover

I'm not big in monarchy, but I respect your emotions for it and send my regards to all English people and to all people of the British commonwealth.

Very well put, Lover. I highly agree with you there….
