Bonne Bastille Day! (Or, Happy Bastille Day, or whatever you are supposed to say) to all of our BariatricPal friends in France. I may eat some extra, good cheese today to celebrate.

I really wish I wasn't in my two week liquid diet phase right now... I love going to Bastille Days and eating something yummy!

May I?

This is not "Bastille Day" in France. It is "la Fête nationale" and commonly called "le quatorze juillet." A proper greeting is "joyeux quatorze juillet!"

What we have in common: Parades, fireworks, parties, et al.

Merci!

Joyeux quatorze juliet! (Autocorrect really loves this one.)

It's a pity that you cannot even Celebrate Bastille Day anymore. "At least 30 dead, 100 injured after truck [intentionally] drives into Bastille Day crowd in Nice [France]". http://www.foxnews.com/world/2016/07/14/at-least-30-dead-100-injured-after-truck-drives-into-bastille-day-crowd-in-nice.html This was after he fired shots into the crowd.

I know. Awful news.

@@Inner Surfer Girl, autocorrect needs some corner time.

@@James Marusek, that just stopped my heart. Having heard no news in several hours, I started up my computer a little while ago and saw a headline that implied a traffic accident with far less loss of life and damage. I don't seek the hideous stories, but feel it almost a duty to know about them. The follow-up reports usually increase in ugliness and sickness.

It has become worse -- 80 dead, per an item that went up on the CNN website half an hour ago.

Oh my I can't believe this happened again??? How can a human being do this to other human beings. I just saw the news[emoji22]
