Sorry for not write much the last weeks, here in Germany most people are so braindead, it's crazy.

No need for a "big event" but development. One of my ideas to reach it: Don't play "their" games - don't use "their" rules - don't think in the box of "their" paradigms.
It's more "refuse" than "resist" - without too much ideology. You don't need to know much about "what's going on behind the curtains", it's mainly to create your own rules together with like-minded people.

I just checked and she's also disappeared off my Fb friends list. Although I did attempt to leave Facebook recently and deactivated my account, so that might be why she's left it.

I'm sorry to hear that :/ From my English perspective I always found Germans to be very practically-minded and not easily manipulated, unlike the sheep here in the UK.
But then I guess we live in an age of "smart" phones and social media, the two combined are a very effective anaesthetic against reality.

I finally replied, but you probably haven't seen it yet. I've been crazy busy taking care of two 80 + year olds who are staying in for the most part, and my job is busier than ever since this Covid mess. Apparently June is adding a side of riots and civil unrest. 2020 is definitely a year for the history books.....
Hope everyone is well! I should be around more soon.

Yes, you're right, but I have high standards ...
What pisses me off is that when it comes to Covid, it only goes to the extreme opinions. Either it's completely harmless or it's the absolute killer virus. It's the same with other subjects too. And then there are a lot of propaganda trolls in the forum, but many don't realize that fake information is constantly being spread there.
I must say, GLP was a very instructive training for me ...

So glad you're fine! It was strange we didn't here from you for such long time. But the times are really crazy. And we can expect more to come I'm afraid.

Hey Fo, well she seems ok at the mo, but we've both given up on worrying about it for now. We can't get an appointment and we still have no result from the scan at the beginning of January. She doesn't appear to be suffering any ill effects right now other than the headaches so we are making the most of that.
This whole virus scaremongering has completely effed up the country. I don't deny there IS a virus, but there is clearly a global agenda being driven on the back of it and neither she nor I want any part of it. We are staying away from town, taking walks in the countryside. We only get our food online or from the nearby petrol station shop (during these visits, she keeps a very close eye on me. Police have been harrassing shoppers there. I am not a fan of coppers and my temper is very short )
The world's gone mad, so all we can do is wait to see if people finally wake up and come to their senses. Then maybe we can see about her getting treatment.
How are you doing? Seems like you're very busy? Are you affected by these protests / riots at all?

Thank you , Bohse. Yes he was a funny little sausage, feathery ears and a big squashy nose. He will be missed.
I shall bury him on Sunday (after I've sobered up) next to our greyhounds, Roxie and Max.
I want to put a flower garden above them all and that way perhaps they'll be undisturbed by whoever moves in after I've left.

Yes, now that there is education about de-clawing less people do it, but there are still a lot of assholes who can't stand snags on their clothes or furniture. I volunteer with a local group who not only helps feral cat colonies, but we also educate prospective adopters about what de-clawing actually is and are trying to get legislation passed to make it illegal. It should be outlawed. It's animal abuse, in my opinion. It infuriates me.
