I've wondered the same thing

[Tortuga]

Americans should vote for Donald Trump as president next month or risk being dragged into a nuclear war, according to a Russian ultra-nationalist ally of President Vladimir Putin who likes to compare himself to the U.S. Republican candidate. 

 

He may be preparing for war if Trump doesn't win or at least posturing...

Scary talk...lots of muscle flexing going on right now. Somethings up.

Here's another fear monger sending out messages to the citizens living in various countries,including US.  Get out now, come home!

Awww!!  That's sweet.  According to Google and where I think you live, there is a 15 hour time difference between you and us, which means at 4am here it would have been 1pm yesterday with you?  That would work for a group chat.

That's a long sad story. ....

I often can't sleep,  I'll try in a bit...but I will wake at 4, 4:30 this morning anyway. 

Too many years of getting up before the sun...

Sleep issues seem to be a common problem these days.  It is no wonder so many of us don't  function properly.   I hope you manage to get a couple of hours in.
