:ot: I always get out of my happy bubble when I read stories about anything that has to do with islam.....I read the comments by other people, and it just makes me sad that so many people hate muslims....I hope my husband is happy here! :(

Sorry.... :ot2:

Well I hope your husband is very happy here. It is very sad when someone hates someone just because they do not believe in a similar way. We are all different in so many ways. Just like the people that are on this site. We are traveling to all parts of the world, but we gather here to help and communicate with each other, and try to learn from one another. best of luck..

Sorry.... :ot2:

There are plenty of people that don't care at all about what religion you are. One of my best friends is a Persian and Muslim and who and what she is has nothing to do with the daily news. Just help your husband to ignore the trash that make his religion an issue.

Happy 7,000 Loto

Wouldn't it be cool if we all got together in Miami? I'm game for a trip to Miami sometimes this year. Mid-Spring or late-Spring. Loto, you up for a trip? I have a $250 flight voucher that's going to expire by Oct 14th. I need to use it.

Hey, maybe we could all meet up at Pepsi-Cola, Fla. :wacko: I hear one can fly cheap if you take one of those

computer flights. :blink: I don't have a flight voucher, but I should have plenty of "sky miles" by

the time I get back from China.

Thanks everyone for the encouraging words....I agree with everyone here....I don't know why I read that ####### sometimes, but I know it doesn't really bother my husband, so he says. Thank God I have a very open and accepting family. I am happy to be a part of VJ, where all kinds of people from all walks of life share a common bond, I guess that is why I stick around! :blush:(F)(L)

It is similar with the local news on TV. Most of what I see is always bad news. One would believe all this area is flooded with meth labs, gas station robbers, homeless people, etc. but the truth is, we have a very good place to live.
