Wow, I usually follow world events in the news but I hadn't heard about the bombings 2 years ago. No wonder you felt a bit tense, and like you said having your kids there didn't make things feel better, I'm sure. On the other hand, what are the odds of it happening again, and exactly where you are? There are so many dangers all over the world at all times that if we were to worry about all of them, we might as well seal ourselves into an underground bunker indefinitely. I think you did the right thing to go to Bali.

Exactly ..they are friendly and genuine all the time!!
The last bombings were 2 years ago and apparently there was another not long before that ..then the big one in 2002 killing over 200 people (mostly Australians). 2 days after we paid in full the government reissued warnings to reconsider going there...I can understand people's apprehension...it was on in the back of my mind the whole time..(mind u that could be because I had my kids with me) although I did feel safe the whole time....but I guess so did those people before the bombs went off. To be honest it made me see how venerable Australia is and I would not be surprise if it was the next target

I found a better photo

My hands are jankity right now, to borrow a phrase from Dan. Besides, this is a thread for the ladies. What am I doing here?

As you were.

You're always in the "ladies" threads for some reason...

I have no pics of my hands.

But my nails are all natural, and quite nice for that if I do say so myself. I do nothing to them but file them. They have a natural french manicure look to them. They are quite long right now, actually. My nails always flourish in the summer.

If I'm feeling fancy, I'll give them a coat of clear polish now and again.

Youre right and I can vouch for that!
