I just feel terrible for the people of Ukraine and powerless to do anything about it. If Alex is effectively murdered in Ukraine how will you feel then? I don’t hear any Russians on this website making much of a protest. Maybe the whole country of Russia is fucked up and it’s only going to get worse. Maybe nuking Moscow is a bad idea but we should view Putin as being no different to Osama Bin Laden. He is nothing better than a terrorist. A bully that needs to be out-bullied.

I wouldn't have a problem if we nuked Russia. Moscow or wherever Putin and his government are hiding. I don't need this shit in my life. It's unacceptable behaviour. If the world ends that's a risk I'm prepared to take. I don't think it will because it's obvious Russia is in the wrong and deserves it.

So I want to get back to a more comfortable weight for me and also feel better physically, so I’m cutting back on soda. I usually have one 20oz/591ml bottle per day, and I’d like to drop that to once a week. I’m planning to skip drinking it one day this week, then skip two days, and so on. Today was my first “skip day.” At first I was having awful cravings and just wanted to give in, but I ate some fruit instead and I felt better! I’m so proud of myself for trying to kick this habit! Why don’t you just drink a diet brand? That’s what I do. Making electric pylons in my new job.

I'm feeling a bit pissed off. I didn't realise my new job is 30 miles away I know I'm made of tough stuff and I've done a lot of metal work in the past but 30 miles, really?

Thanks eismann . I really enjoyed that video. I liked it so much I have shared it on Facebook and claimed it as my own. I am a little sceptical about the existence of such large oil and gas reserves in and around Ukraine. Surely they would be common knowledge? Also, I was under the impression that the Ukraine has been invaded in the past largely for it's fertile soil as Ukraine is traditionally known as the bread basket of Europe. The Ukrainian flag of yellow and blue represents a wheat field under a blue sky. I am aware there are a few other mineral resources in Ukraine that the Russians might be trying to get their hands on from stuff I have seen on the news.

I’m feeling a massive sense of relief. I start my new job in metal fabrication on Monday. Been so fucking stressed the past couple of weeks.

Yeah, well. I guess one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.
I'm glad you added that "nothing justifies this war or any war for that matter" because I was worried you sided with Russia in a previous post. This war is unjustified and in my mind Russia is the aggressor. I simply can't get my head around how somehow Ukraine is at fault.
Yes, I agree. The news report is making race an issue. It just feels like war and peace has come full circle, that another war is starting in Europe. Europe is predominantly white. We have largely been able to live in peace since the second world war. I find it emotional too.

Just found out my best friend past away while on a mini vacation skiing trip to Montana, I'm in shock right now! Sorry to hear this Jimmyzz. Please feel free to get in touch if you want to talk about it.

I chose “Dare to Love me”. I think it is one of her more intelligently composed songs made in an interesting way. It is short but sweet. The other songs I enjoyed were “Bite me” and “Bois lie”. Overall, it is a good album.

Work has dried up for me. I am living off of savings. I actually almost find myself crying sometimes over the situation in Ukraine when I watch the news. My problems pale into insignificance compared to those people caught up in it. I will find some way through my current lousy life situation. I always do. Awaiting feedback on an interview I had last Friday and I have one more job opportunity I have to explore which I turned down in the past. After that I think I'm am going to concede defeat and be officially unemployed again.

Hang in there Alex. We are all behind you and the people of Ukraine.

Yes, I agree. I find it very unsettling.

I’m back from my week long ban for posting messages that Russian fans might find offensive. My deepest sympathies to the people of Ukraine who are being invaded.

I've got another friend Mark, of Indian heritage that liked your photo too. Mark is a really nice guy with a good job. He doesn't behave like a nob when he drinks, infact he is a very responsible drinker. Very sensible and intelligent guy. I can DM his photo to you if you like? Nope. I don’t appreciate you sharing my pics either, pls delete it if you still have it. Okay Panchali remain anonymous. Your right/choice. I'm a proud LBS (Little Black Star) I hate all these unexplained abbreviations on the site, never have liked them.
