    More stories coming out now

    The tsunami wave was 4 stories high. I just can't imagine the horror
    of those trapped in their hospital beds.

    Can I just gently rant for a moment? I heard a woman say last night that she was not contributing to aid for Japan because of how cruel the "Japs" were to "our boys" during World War II. I was surprised by that. I just kept quiet because I couldn't think how to answer.

    They're still having big problems with the nuclear power plant. I wonder what is going to happen with that over the long term.
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    I hope they get things under control there soon, but don't see it happening anytime soon, sadly. I hope most people left the area who could.

    There are always women who will find ways to hang on to hate, thankfully, humans rarely live over 100 years, so it won't last forever!

    I'm not surprised by this at all. I'm surprised that we haven't heard more of the same thing. I'm certain that many people feel that way, especially if they lost friends or family in the war. Does that make them right??? - of course not - but I can understand the feelings behind it.

    Like our dropping two atomic bombs on them was all sweetness and light!!!

    I look at it like probably most of their service men were like ours; just following orders from their leaders.
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!

    They just found a dog floating in the ocean

    I heard on the news just moments ago, that a dog was found floating on a roof top, in the ocean. It looks fairly healthy. I wonder how it could have lasted so long without good water and food? Maybe it was relocated and wasn't on that roof top the entire time. No one will ever know. The dog was cute.

    Here's the video - and it looks like there was plenty of debris around him so he probably scavenged food from that. What a cutie, definitely at least part Shiba Inu!
