I was interested to read that euthanasia is legal in Belgium as we don't seem to be able to have a proper discussion about it here in the UK. I have had a Samsung Galaxy J5 for almost two months now and what I really love about it is the large screen and the camera, which takes really good photos. xMrs Tiggywinklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262841220840086776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2857159910102323096.post-39237191649153501612017-05-28T01:24:50.542+02:002017-05-28T01:24:50.542+02:00I'm sorry to hear about your friend Ilona'...I'm sorry to hear about your friend Ilona's mom.

I wish we were allowed to specify euthanasia in such a situation but we aren't and it doesn't look likely to change. I should hate to be stuck in limbo with no chance of improvement, and it's very hard for families. <br /><br />Good luck with your new phone.

I like that you're BACK. Sorry about your friend, Illona''s mom. She was a wonderful lady and made the most of her life. You will enjoy your Smartphone once you get the hang of it (which won't be long if I know you!) and then you'll wonder how you ever managed without it.

I thought I had seen a lot of hate during desegregation, but I believe there is more now. We have a free press and he's trying to control them by claiming "fake news" whenever he doesn't like what they say. I believe some are becoming disillusioned, but not his die hard followers. Next time can you keep him a while longer?Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09068151073417372746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2857159910102323096.post-84689709370881661682017-05-26T16:57:32.028+02:002017-05-26T16:57:32.028+02:00So sorry about your friend'a mother.

So sorry to hear of her passing, but as you said, she was a role model for living a very long life. May she rest in peace. I laughed out loud about Trump's visit -- you voice my feelings of him exactly. I've had a smartphone for 4 years now and love it. Like you, I resisted for quite awhile, but one day my husband showed up with a new iPhone for me and I'm so glad he did.

I wish it was more accepted here in the UK that being alive isn't necessarily the most important thing - being able to enjoy life is more important. Thinking of you and your friend.
