    The images coming from the BBC online feed are quite scary. I hope all members of this forum and their friends and family are OK.

    Would be interested in your general impressions lph when the events sink in ...later.

    Many of us in North America, don't know much about the "tenor" of Norway these days.

    It's one of the European countries that the main North American press don't report on a regular basis.

    +1. Glad to hear from you, lph. I am saddened about yesterday's events. So futile.

    Glad you're OK, lph. My heart hurts for your country. Several of my ancestors emigrated from Norway and I likely have relatives in the Trondhjem area. When I think of Norway I think of such a peaceful place. But extremists are everywhere. I'm so sorry for the mourning that so many are enduring because of this man's senseless actions.

    Glad you're okay - and thinking of Duck also. What an awful thing.

    Hi all, back again on a real keyboard this time. Will be brief because it's late. Thank you so much for all your warm wishes. As far as I know so far family and friends of mine are not affected, nor of Ducks. But as she put in, once the names are announced it's highly likely that we will know of someone affected. Norway is a small country with a pop. of 5 million and there are over 90 dead, most of them teenagers.

    Tomorrow we go to pick up our teenage son who has been safely at a summer camp. I will be hugging him very closely.

    I'm relieved you and Duck are okay, lph. But how horrific for all involved. I'm having a hard time getting my head around it. These poor children and their families. It's incomprehensible. You and your country are in my thoughts and prayers.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
