    That's quite a job. In the ten years I was a coastie I think we had only one or two on that scale.

    If it happened in Baltic Sea, there would be many other countries helping. (Like in Estonia case.)

    Near Trondheim there is not other countries, their chopters and crews that near.

    I don,t know does Sweden have suitable chopters nearby. If they have, they will send them.

    This is second bad naval disaster in Norway in short time. Both have happened during or near big northern military exercises. Russia disturber GPS-system very badly during these exercises from Kola peninsula.

    [foliohat off]

    I don't know does UK or Iceland/USA have boats, chopters and crews there. If they have, it will take time for them to get there.

    It's gonna be a long night in that boat and waters near it.




    Cargo ship Hagland Captain is distress. It needs assistance. It is at least partly drifting 5nm fom Viking Sky.

    Pollution could be an issue to - those ships carry nearly as much HFO in bunkerage as a small tanker

    I've been thinking of the Mandella effect a lot lately, and though I find it to be an absurdity to excuse away faulty memory, it does have me thinking.

    I swear as a child, society seemed to be going in the right direction, and somewhere along the way it diverged (I think I know where but not gonna say it) and I somehow crossed over from my universe full of sane humans, where adults ran things and into this world, where no one knows how to lead, everyone in charge acts like babies and the insanity just seems to keep growing and growing. It's a sad day when I feel sane, which means I am less insane than others.

    I am stuck here in the Goddamn Berenstain Bear Universe, Where Emotions and impulsive behavior has replaced Logic and Reason. I need to find my way home, find the doppelganger who stole my life, kill that doppelganger and reclaim it.

    Sounds like the reasonable and logical solution.

    My bath tub is filled with stained sheets, my body is sore and I didn't get any sleep during the unplanned one night stand.

    Now I feel dirty, empty and used because she refuses to report the psychopath husband who beats her children bloody for no reason. She separated but cannot divorce out of fear.

    Just lost all hope and don't know who I am anymore. Marriage used to be a sacred bond to me, but now it just feels like a license to hurt and abuse immigrants.

    She needs to get professional help in some form or other. Ideally legal help. I can understand her being afraid to divorce, in case he gets worse. She may well be fearful for the children. If he's like a lot of those kind, he may threaten to hurt, kidnap or even kill the children.
    Unfortunately, if she won't report him, he will likely continue his reign of terror in any form he can-near or far. Even if she does report him, it may not make much difference. But she won't know unless she tries.

    Murder is always an option. I'm not saying it't the best option, or even a good one, but it's always there.

    There are so many other options that I don't recommend to even think or talk about that option.

    If it is a real option - then don't talk about it. Especially don't talk about it in internet.

    If it is not a real option - then don't talk about it. Especially don't talk about it in internet.

    You know the (five minutess) old Finnish saying?

    "If you want to kill someone, dig two graves. Then nobody figures out to seek from the distant forest swamp. They focus all they attention to the graves."

    @LazyBear Thinking some more, it may be worth writing your account of events from when she approached you for help. Then if she does report it at a later date, that could be valuable, and make a difference to any prosecution that is brought against him. Otherwise, it could be he said, she said.

    Most of our conversation is saved in the LinkedIn chat history, which she can show to others. We didn't speak much in person by having introverted INFJ and INFP personalities.

    Yeah, but I'm a writer, and a writer that grew up with Agatha Christie, Dick Francis, et al. Murder is always the first option to come to mind, it's then up to me as a writer to find an alternative that's less cliche and appropriate to the character and situation. Someone doesn't thank you when you hold the door open for them? Murder! No, wait, just don't thank them when they open the second set of doors for you in a moment. Someone deciding to wait until they're supposed to be ordering to read the menu board instead of the 10 minutes they've been waiting in line? MURDER! Nope, just make impatient noises and talk shit about them just behind their back. Someone being horribly violent and emotionally abusive to someone they've sworn under god and law and in front of both their families to cherish and protect? MURD... no, wait... ... .... Well, if it's not murder, it should at least be something ironic.

    There's a similar English saying that says "fuck the graves, use a woodchipper and a pig farm"

    I'm gonna say it here... that the Trump Thread is still not closed... and to be clear, I oppose any such threads even if it were Obama, George W., Clinton. Don't care.... everyone is an armchair politician. I on the other hand, just want to see shit burn. and write all my books. :p

    I've drank so much my body is numb. I wish my heart could feel the same way.

    I guess I'll always be haunted by these thoughts of being without romance, and lonely, for the rest of my life. And the worst part is I know it's almost entirely my fault. No matter how badly I don't want it to be, that's the truth. I'm a coward. A fool.

    Perhaps the sooner I accept this, the sooner I can move onto the Happiness Thread.

    Or maybe not. My life was romance-free until I was 22. Met my future wife then.
    Nearly 40 years later, we're still together.

    I was footloose and fancy-free til I was thirty, then I met the future Mrs. A.

    That's not an endorsement of marriage, by the way.

    Nor is it a criticism of the institution.

    Some people find they need nothing more than themselves, others spend years seeking permanent companionship, and some find that what they thought they needed was different from what they ended up with. Give it time, as the Stones more or less said, you just might find you get what you need.
