[PeaceNikki]

5. Hillary is SoS!!!

Heads explode...

[La Lioness Priyanka]

6. hillary exists. heads explode!

[PeaceNikki]

8. Well, naturally.

But now she's on the cabinet.

I hope your trip was fantastic. You were missed. :hug:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

9. i missed you too!

:hug:

[NewJeffCT]

7. I think every day, people lamented the failure of the Obama administration

in some very heated threads in GDP. Lots of anger and people losing their tempers, etc.

So, nothing unusual.

Welcome back, though!

[Inchworm]

10. Yay!

Was hoping to see a post from you :)

:hug:

[IndianaJones]

11. how long a flight is that? nt.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

12. 10.5 hrs from india to london. 7.5 hours from london to kolkata. nt

[Parche]

23. you flew British or Virgin Atlantic

:hi:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

27. british airways. nt

[redqueen]

13. Just the usual.

Snark, snark and more snark.

Oh and Thom got his PC! But you know that. :)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

14. yeah i read that yesterday evening. logged in for about a half hour.

:)

[redqueen]

15. I also asked this:

And wouldn't mind hearing your preference, if you're inclined to answer. Feel free to PM me instead of kicking it. :)

[Ava]

16. welcome back

:hi:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

17. Did you have a nice time? What did Lisa think of it all? OH...

where are pics? :D :hug: :hi:

[taterguy]

18. You missed a lot of threads where people talked about you

They were all deleted by the Mods

[La Lioness Priyanka]

19. LOL

[jonnyblitz]

20. welcome back! i thought you were in Calcutta, silly me.

now back to my quiet lurking....:hug: :hi:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

21. i was in kolkata/calbutta.

:)

[jonnyblitz]

22. lol...close.nt

[La Lioness Priyanka]

25. they changed all the names a while ago to un-anglicize them

ironically the country has gotten americanized as they have tried to un-anglicize

[jonnyblitz]

30. I never knew Mumbai was Bombay until this incident. nt

[NewJeffCT]

32. China did that as well a while back

Beijing used to be Peking, Nanjing used to be Nanking, Guangzhou used to be Canton, etc. Shanghai is still Shanghai, though.

and, they've become more Westernized there as well.

How have they become more Americanized in India?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

fast food. malls. western cars. mtv. night clubs

[Fire Walk With Me]

37. I watched WALL•E twice yesterday and loved the anti-corporate, anti-consumerism theme

as the root of all of our troubles (the obvious selfishness which allows it to prosper as well). Such things have created the Bush family. I hope that India may completely avoid the negativity inherent in capitalism/consumerism.

Glad you had a good trip.

BTW, Barack Obama spent some time at a food bank passing out food, asking people to simply call him "Barack". This alone, even before he gets into office, has given more to the people of the country and its new direction than Bush has done in his entire life. Barack is quietly leading by example...it's quite exciting as this -must- build into something wonderful.

[NewJeffCT]

38. That wasn't there on your last trip to India?

Weren't you there only a few years ago?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

39. yup, just moreso.

[NewJeffCT]

41. Do you feel out of place at all?

and, do you think you get noticed as different because you've lived in the US for a while now?

When we went to China last summer, my wife got complimented on her Chinese - I guess because she doesn't look like she grew up there anymore.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

40. yup, just moreso.

[jonnyblitz]

34. your typo in " Calcutta"(you wrote CalButta) further confused me!

:rofl:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

35. lol

:rofl:

[bigwillq]

24. Welcome Back!

:hi: :hug:

How was your trip?

[KitchenWitch]

26. I am so glad you are back and you are safe.

:hug:

[Deep13]

28. Um, photos?

:shrug:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

31. very soon. maybe tonight or tomorrow

[Deep13]

33. Welcome home.

:party:

[ZombieNixon]

29. People freaked out over trivial bullshit (and the occasional non-trivial matter).

The usual. :)

[LynneSin]

36. I had a co-worker who was staying at that hotel but left 15 minutes before the bombing

:scared:

[JackBeck]

42. SCOTUS appointed McCain President. Didn't you hear?

Glad to hear you made it home safe. Did the two of you have a good time?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

43. yeah we did! very tired now though

[Heidi]

44. Nothing much. Just some of us missin' you.

Welcome back, Pri. :hug: :hug:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

45. thank you!

:hug:

[FloridaJudy]

46. Glad You're Back!

I was a tad worried there: didn't realize you were on the other side of India.

Same old/same old here. Oh yeah: Wal-Mart shoppers are animals who kill people :sarcasm:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

47. i do think wal mart execs are animals preying on the poor

not the shoppers though

thank you for worrying about me

[FloridaJudy]

50. Amen. eom

[KamaAina]

49. So what's doing in Kolkata?

I read a Nat'l Geo article on it a few months ago that, for once, actually focused on stuff other than the extreme poverty, for instance, its stature as an intellectual capital. Any thoughts?

[Jamastiene]

51. China declared me mentally ill.

Apparently, they now classify my extreme love for computers and the internet as an "addiction." Those Chinese and their attempts to thwart my bid to live IN the internet permanently. :eyes: What will they dream up next? Now, I must implement counter measures to make sure they never find me, put me in a straight jacket and keep me from my beloved internet. So far, so good. :yoiks:

Glad you are back safe and sound. :hug:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

53. LOL

:rofl:

[ThomCat]

[Redneck Socialist]

67. Depending on when you left you missed a pretty good flame war over shopping carts.

:eyes:

Other than that, not much happened. Welcome back.

[hippywife]

68. Welcome home!

I guess I didn't realize you were going. I was wondering why I hadn't seen you around.

I don't have facebook, either, but will look forward to whatever pics you post here, too. :hi:
