Oh how sad. But I am so pleased that she got to see her before she passed. Robin must have a very strong faith, she has been through so much.Quote:

My prayers and thoughts are with them, and with Robin in particular as she forges ahead on her journey without her mom, but with Sally Ann and other loved ones beside her.
Wow! Good thoughts and best wishes to Robin while she fights her new opponent, MDS. Now she doesn't have her pillar of support with her. How much more suffering does she have to go through? I hope she beats this disease and comes back to GMA soon.
Best thing that happened to that royal family was Diana bringing in some new blood and, thereby, creating those 2 beautiful boys.Quote:

I think the debate rests here. What on earth does this mean? The royal family is tradition, for sure, but archaic. Their place in government means nothing. King? Queen? Prince? Princess? This is all Disney Land sh*t.Quote:

As for Diana bringing in new blood....same as with any bride marrying into the family, really. It's not like she was a "commoner" like Kate.
As someone I used to work with would say, "Yes, you and I both know what should be. I'm telling you what IS."Quote:

Whether that should be the case isn't the issue. These are the facts of Harry's life and the facts of the government and monarchy in the UK.
I wonder if, say, a President's son, who was also a military officer would be held to similar standards in this country. Would we all be laughing if a "first son" behaved this way under similar circumstances? All familial ties aside, the military doesn't look favorably on that kind of behavior. If drugs were involved and, God forbid, Harry was involved with that AND there's proof, I wonder what the military will do. Is that grounds for discharge in this country or do they not care?
It is all bullsh*t to me.
