It's certainly ridiculous that a tube of paint for instance can leave Italy, cross the pond and cost that much less than here, supposedly inside the EU!I am pleased that you feel a bit better trish, even though it is only a bitAnd i hope the tablets help out. It will certainly be the taxes trish what pump up the prices here. I think this country must have one, if not the highest vat rates in europe.
The trouble seems to be spreading like a malignancy. It may be the first thought that springs to most of our minds, but nuclear offensive isn't the answer ...for one thing, they aren't all in the same place by a long stretch - they seem to spread relatively thin and far, and for another, it could trigger mayhem from other volatile countries.I also agree with everything you say regarding the bast*r*ds, who want to destroy our civilized cultures and go back to living in the bloody dark ages. Like they do now incidently. I am not going to post on here on the way i would sort it out given the chance, but it would include something with nuclear in it`s name.
Yes, it often does seem to be even £'s for $'s - with art materials, I have a friend in LA, and he used to take delivery of the paint etc., re-label it and post it on to me. He also made me linen panels too and sent those.

I certainly did need the sleep. Managed to sleep from around 12midnight until 7am today too, but getting up again was not good! It's taken until now for things to calm enough for me to move around better.
Son brought me some tablets he'd got months ago for labyrinthitis, and it turned out to be the same ones my old doctor gave me some years ago when I was troubled by this BPPV. They did help quite a bit then (Betahistine dihydrochloride), but this time is worse than back then. Hopefully, they'll still help! Have only had two so far.
You don't have to know anything about painting & art. All you do need to know is a/ do you like it, and b/ does It look right. If the answer is yes on both counts, then she's talented!
Ah! there's a thought - do a search for Jacksons Art and my name - you should find an article they did about me last year.
My Step Daughter gets her Mother's talent for singing too, in fact she won a national karaoke competition a few years back and won time in a recording studio. She decided not to bother and keep working as a Care Assistant 
That's one thing that really irks me, when someone has a natural talent and just doesn't do anything with it. If I could do something like that, I wouldn't be driving buses that's for sure
Very true ian, i believe the soldiers who you speak of are already there, and waiting mate. Just depends on their orders.

You'd need a darn big country to get them all 'settled' into ...and they aren't so dumb that they'd just gather there like sitting ducks
...sadly!Nice! ..but yet another lot of coils to stock up on
They want all of the countries and states ..they want to impose their so called religion on as much of the world as they can, by fair means or foul. They vowed they'd do that a good many years ago now.
Too many factions, spin-offs, groups, sympathisers, and not to mention those too afraid to stand against them. Every leader world-wide needs to take a very firm stand against them and take responsibility for clearing them out of their countries- but we know that won't happen!
Thanks Ian - I'm pretty fed up of it already. I'm fine if I don't move!
..by the time I've slept, I won't be able to look down at the keyboard again! Still, never know - these tablets may help by morning!Some people (myself included) find it very hard to 'make an exhibition' of themselves ....it doesn't always sit comfortably no matter how good/competent they are. I was being trained for Covent Garden Opera by an ex opera performer who had gone on to become her Majesty's Chapel choirmaster. Every time he put me into grade competitions, my voice shrank and disappeared, and I did have a very powerful soprano voice. I was in 2 Church choirs because they actually wanted me! But, I began singing with a group and had my head turned by the music of the day ...and my vocal chords badly strained to boot!I keep telling the Wife she should do more painting, but she doesn't take compliments very well. In fact she's a superb singer as well, but trying to get her up singing is like trying to push a bus uphill
Yes, and I think that's what weakened things to the extent we didn't dare risk upsetting anyone of different ethnicity. It was a disaster just waiting to gather speed!
I do think more under cover/covert work would achieve a lot, but all this PC rubbish stands in the way, and they have to be answerable to far too many people before they can act.

Always meant to go back to it, but life happened, and it was painting that I happened upon first. Finally, I'd found what I was best at, but attending my own gallery openings was a nightmare, so I don't go anymore because by the time the day comes, I'm a wreck.
If your wife is taking lessons or attending a class, her work will grow and become even better. Perhaps find an art society that puts on shows? A bit of success is a huge encouragement

Who knows what is going on out of sight, but it'll be a drop in the ocean against the vast array of fanatics.
We seem to have acquired a potentially nasty world ....someone let the genie out of the bottle and it'll be a darn hard job getting it back in again!
If only words would do it!Well now we've set the World to rights, I'd better call it a night
Thanks - often seems we the public can see the simple truth and part of the answers, yet they can never do that without making everything as complicated and un-doable as possible.Well said on all points trish.
If all countries would/could deal with what's on their own doorstep, it would make a huge difference.I know they wouldn't want them as citizens, but they would know how to deal with them if they were prisoners
