Wow. I've been catching some of the craziness there this evening. Seems dangerous. You guys be careful.

Hut, Bags is a great poster and person. Ck has met her several times. I believe a lot of people used to call her that. I just sort of followed suit. She hasn't swatted me yet for it.

Again, guys be safe. Hope this ends soon.

I don't know the details of what is going down in baltimore but my prayers are for the people of Baltimore to find peace in their hearts and the violence to stop cause this is not the answer to the problem..only the innocent suffer from this type of action that is going on...be safe my friends cause it would be tragic to lose some good friends like you to it is just a small group of people that is trying to give Baltimore an bad image and the good people shale over come this bad situation that is happening....god bless Baltimore and the good people of the city ....stay safe my friends and take care of yourselves .

Thanks Lou, the family of the victim have pleaded for peace, but you're right, certain groups are instigating this violence. To my knowledge most of our nesters are out of range of the violence and are safe. The police are the primary targets so it's personal at this time. I've watched some of this "live" on the internet and it is quite disturbing, understandable and disgusting at the same time.

Thanks kicks, Bags is a great lady, I'm glad I dropped my Irsay vendetta and took the chance to greet her. I actually feel better about the situation now and will attempt to upload a picture later that will give closure to that era.

I guess I win the Brian Williams award for faulty broadcasting. The mobs weren't incited by gangs, instead they were part of the peaceful marches that also took place. A lot of conflicting stories and rumors are spread when something like this happens. The mobs weren't protestors, simply thugs out for a good time and some loot. A mother and her son were forced to evacuate their home that caught fire and burned to the ground. Her son's wheelchair was destroyed in the fire and he is incapable of walking. Lots of victims and grief. As of last night, 15 officers injured, 15 buildings and 144 cars set afire, over 200 arrested, God knows how many victims!

TO ALL OUR SWISS FAMILY MEMBERS IN BALTIMORE:

News reports (for whatever they are worth) say it is quieting down, and things are starting to return to normal (whatever that might be after this disastrous run of events). Keeping the Peace, Justice and I hope you're all safe and far away from the awful events that have taken place there. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all...

Ms Bags has been posting as "The Baglady" for all the time I've known her. If you ask her how or why she started using that icon, I'm sure she'll tell you.

Ms Bags and I have become close friends over the years. We first met in the first year the original Switzerland was formed--2007 I believe. We had a group of female bloggers (Dolphins, Colts, Patriots and Seahawks) and called ourselves "The Divas of Switzerland." There were others that could not make the trip, but I invited all the women for a Divas' Weekend. None of us had ever met prior to that visit, but we immediately were drawn to one another. Several of the male bloggers, as well as Glenda the Good Witch sent donations toward our eating and drinking adventures. We had a wonderful time and Bags and I remained close over the years since. I have been to Indy for a Dolphin game and she has subsequently been down here a couple of times. She is an amazing lady (and I DO mean lady) and is one of the most knowledgeable people in Switzerland. She is familiar with just about every team, not just her Colts and Giants. I guess you can infer that I like her very very much. In fact, I don't know anyone who doesn't like her--and in our world of football, that's a real reach...

Morning All,
Thank you all so much for dropping by to offer your concern.
Baglady, yes, I have seen your posts on Faux as well. Good to talk with you.

I want to touch on what Hut has been posting on a few sites. This is not gang related. 70% of the people in this particular neighborhood are unemployed and uneducated. They are destroying their own neighborhoods by burning them down. They are attacking law enforcement, as well as each other.

Now this is not to say gangs aren't around, but the initial statement posted by the police which stated the gangs are going to join together to go after the law enforcement was nothing more than a rumor. A few of my friends who are cops in the city even said that gang members have been trying to stop these idiots and they themselves were being attached.

it is a pathetic, cowardly way of dealing with the situation. Are they corrupt cops, you bet but there are far more good cops than bad.

A local DJ, who happens to be black, actually said yesterday that these thugs need to stop blaming everyone else for is happening to them, and start where the problem lies, which is blacks killing blacks. He said once they start admitting this is the real problem, they can begin to figure out how to fix it. This is a man who grew up in Baltimore City.

Baltimore is losing hundreds of thousands of dollars because of these idiots. Business all closed, tourist attractions closed, O's game cancelled, playing today but closed to the public, bars and restaurants all have to close very early because of the 10:00 p.m. to 5:0 a.m. curfew imposed by the mayor. This is just horrifc. But I hope everyone that reads this understands that Baltimore is truly a great city to visit.

Just want to commend Kat on her post and say I win the Brian Williams award for bad journalism by picking up a rumor and running with it. It seems the worst is over, but we'll see. Thanks for everyone's concern.
Shout out to CK for dropping by, It was nice hearing about the Diva's club and how a social media site can bring people together. And yes, yourself, Ms. Bags, our own Kat, Kicksie , and the other posters that frequent here are truly fine people.

Posted: **Wed Apr 29, 2015 1:21 pm**

Hut, "Kicksie" is NOT amused. :lol:

Anyhoo.... Thank you for the updates. Its so sad how stupid some people can be. Tearing apart their own neighborhood. Hope you get back to normal soon.

True dat!!! Good family and friends if we're lucky enough. Good luck to your Texans in the draft tomorrow. You know, at this rate, you may set an all time record for being the fastest poster ever to become a veteran. Were you this active on Fox? I would hope you answer in 25 posts or less

Good Morning Gang,
Today is Fleur's birthday. Hope everyone can drop by the Saints page to wish her a happy BD.

Thank Hut for the comment.
I do want to say I stand corrected on my post about the city losing hundreds of thousands of dollars. As it turns out we are in the millions now. Sad!

I wish I was as confidant that it is going to stop, but the truth of the matter is it could get even worse once the investigation is over. I also don't think Al Sharpton coming to town is going to help either. I think he is going to stir up more emotions and riots.
Hope I am wrong.

I hope everyone has a terrific day!

GO DRAFT!!!

This is a great day to be a Ravens fan!
GO RAVENS!!!

A bunch of folks are going to gather in the Switzerland forum page tonight for the draft. We figure we will all post in our own team room when its close to each teams draft pick, but for the rest of the time, we wanted to have a central location. Pass the word.

Posted: **Thu Apr 30, 2015 10:00 pm**

good pick by ravens tonight!!! good luck rest of the way...

Posted: **Thu Apr 30, 2015 10:02 pm**

First time in a while we didn't go defense with our first pick. I really believe the guys we targeted were taken. With so many picks available, I guess there was no sense in trading down. Of course I'm wrong, weclome Mr. Perriman!!!

Posted: **Fri May 01, 2015 7:37 am**

Good Morning Hut. I was pleased that they went with a WR on their 1st pick. Although the news media showed some not so flattering footage of Perriman, I think he's going to be a good fit. Flacco/management will mold him into an even better WR in the NFL.

Happy Hour starts at noon today. I will be supplying the beer, crab cakes and wings.

Sounds delicious, I'll be there. I also think Perriman will do just fine! 6'2" 218lbs with blazing speed, great pick for the 26th slot. Maybe, just maybe we got a Boldin and Torrey all wrapped up in one!!!

GOOD AFTERNOON NESTERS!! DID SOME ONE SAY BEER & WINGS WITH SOME CRAB CAKES ON THE SIDE ?? COUNT ME IN!! gotta believe ozzie knows what he is doing Perriman will be a good fit for your team

Yeah, when Kat gets cooking, the hell with football.
In Ozzie we trust, my trouble is that I want all our holes filled with that top pick. I'm a bit impatient. Your guys are doing quite well themselves. Let's keep it going.

believe me hut I know how you feel....I have been so pissed of with the draft picks by (oilers-Texans)THAT I SAW RED....HAD MIGRANS FROM THEM....NOTHING TOTALLY SURPRISES ME ANYMORE....SO LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS THE REST OF THR WAY...

Posted: **Sat May 02, 2015 1:58 pm**

So far, so good! The Ravens have accomplished quite a bit in the first four rounds and have plugged those holes. The analyst(s) have made some fairly positive comments so far on the Ravens draft, I have nothing to complain about. It's good to see the faith the Ravens have in Forsett, we got a pass rusher and strengthened the DL. I'm glad we took a CB, a nickel at first with potential to grow. Of Course Perriman and a much needed TE. With three picks to go, I can only wonder. I still hope they take Stefon Diggs from Md. but I don't think we have room for another WR. I'm wondering if we can keep Butler! Another TE? OL for next year is an issue with the possibility of losing Osemole and/or Yanda. Hope you've got some magic left OZ!!!
GO RAVENS!!!

To finish up, the Ravens were still scoring B's and better with our final picks. Another TE as expected and very favorable comments on our back-up OT. The last pick surprised me a bit, a wide bodied WR with tons of upside, a Boldin with the last pick? I guess Butler will become a casualty, we have a bench full of WRs. Ozzie, DeCosta and Co. had a plan, and it showed. I'm sure they didn't get their player in every pick, but who does! I certainly have no complaints.
GO RAVENS!!!
YOU GOTTERDUN!!!***so far***
Now on to inviting undrafted players to camp and looking for those gems the other teams may discard!!!
