Hi.
It's been a while, yes? Oh I've been hanging around, reading your blogs and peeking at your flickr streams. I just haven't had much to say lately.
But now I'm back, and the first thing I'd like to say is: THANK YOU.
Yes. To all of you. Your overwhelming support has been so much appreciated during this difficult transition. Your comments, heartfelt e-mails and cards, your flowers, gifts, plants all meant so much to me and my family during our difficult time.
****
In the morning when we wake up, as per our newly formed ritual, I carry Kate to the living room to look at a photo of my father. And as if on cue, she undoubtedly points to it and shouts his name. Usually his name is a burst of happiness from her mouth, and part of me feels relieved by her recognition. Yes. She still remembers him. Yes. He's still fresh in her mind.
Alison and Henry are starting to comprehend his physical absence from our lives. Usually a memory will trigger or a thought will pop into their minds, and then a moment of sadness washes over them. Today as we were getting ready for bed, Alison turned to me and said softly, "Mama, I didn't want Buppa to die."
So yes. Sadness does creep into our lives on a daily basis, and it comes at surprising times, like sudden pangs of emotion. But most of the time, we live in our many moments of happiness together as a family. We've made it this far, and I know, as so many of you have shared, life does go on. We're know that now.
Thank you again for everything.







Good to hear you're all well and getting on and it's nice to have you back blogging. I've missed you. I've been a bit sloppy on the birthdays this year but I still have something for you and Kate. I'll make sure it will get to you a.s.a.p.

Another clue Lowe's is the good one::::Katrina cottage plans.
http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productList&Ntt=plans&Ntk=i_products&category=Katrina%20Cottage%20Plans&N=0+5002245
In this era of preditory developers building massive new homes (ie SUVs) it is quite refreshing to see Lowe's promote modest single family structures.
Looking in Denver these are the kinds of homes I am looking at. To move into a brand new structure would be key, especially in Denver:::::Full insulation, no dreaded leakage leading to high heating bills. No ghosts and no history.
As with all things::::Redwhite&blue IS BAD FOR YOU!!!! Much like some Walmarts, some Lowe's stores are redwhite&blue color scheme:::Assume its a clue that these towns are disfavored and it would be wise to GET THE FUCK OUT!!!
Bet that Oldsmobile was the only good American auto manufacturer left and now they're gone.
The 80s era of M&A and integration with/controlling interest by evil entities has eliminated good from the marketplace.
In this era of Manifest Destiny positioning the gods have the preditory disfavored steal from the good disfavored::::
1. Microsoft stole Windows from Apple Computer/SteveJobs/Wozniac
2. Alexander Graham Bell stole the telephone from Elisha Grey
3. Waffle House's business model was stolen by many entities who copied the style and stole market share. HOLDING BACK THE COFFEE IS A TACTIC THE GODS USE TO SEND THE DISFAVORED ELSEWHERE and a clue they are good::::Coffee is bad for you.
4.
5.
…
499.
500.
When it comes to Walmart they really didn't expereince a M&A phase that I'm aware of, so expect the redwhite&blue clue to only be in effect in the South:::All Walmarts in California are evil. Howevery, they said Costco/PriceClub merger paved the way for the presence of Sam'sClub on the WestCoast, and they share that Sam'sClub is good, but again that might only be here in the west where they compete with evil Costco.
I'd like to remind people Sam'sClub's presence is in the InlandEmpire while Costco does business in WestLA.
As far as NorthernCalifornia goes Concord is the only BayArea Sam'sClub location, and for a reason:::SanFranciscoBayArea is The Beast, geographic clue sent as Manifest Destiny sculpted the shoreline.
Sam'sClub is more expensive than Walmart for a reason.
None of this is important. In the end they are ALL BrainLessCloneHosts and they will all be used in the same way:::To prey on the disfavored.
The M&A/evil acquisition of controlling interest allows the gods to justify the elimination of this so-called "help", none of which ever existed. Any perception otherwise was deceptive, used as corruptors, much like the Presidents of the United States streets example.
The Italian boot and Scandanavian penis pissing on Europe as the Vikings did both prove the positioning that is Manifest Destiny is all a scam.
My advice is understand the Amish clue and live simply and strive for purity.

[URL=http://www.car-crash.us/]Car accident[/URL] and drunk drivers are the most pressing problems of our everyday life.
According to the World Health Organization, each year 1.2 million people die and nearly 50 million of people are injured or became disabled in car accidents. The cost of road traffic injuries for each country is almost 518 billion dollars per year, which is from one to two percent of their average Gross National Product. By 2020, the car accident will be the tenth leading cause of death in the world.
To solve the problem and reduce death rate of car accidents on the roads, according to World Health Organization, it is necessary to resolve the five major tasks: riding a motorcycle without a helmet, problem of road infrastructure, problem of speeding, problem of alcohol consumptions and the usage of safety belts.
In the whole Europe the death rates during car accidents has steadily decreased: in 1991 – 162 deaths per 1 million citizens, in 2004 – 95; in 2007 – 77. In 2007, the most dangerous roads in Europe were in Lithuania, where out of every million people in the car accident died 223 people, and in Latvia – 177. But still some other new EU members remain problematical, such as Estonia and Poland where the number of car accidents continue increasing.
The main reasons of car accidents are: the tendency of modern European drivers to constantly increase the speed of driving, neglecting the rules of safety belts usage and security facilities for children (child seats). In most of the Eastern European countries that undergo rapid motorization, road infrastructure development, the progress of security services cannot withstand the increased load.
The experience of countries with developed motorization, such as Canada, France, Finland and the United States, proves that to reduce car accidents and avoid the enormous social and economic losses the next steps should be followed:
[URL=http://www.car-crash.us/]Car accident[/URL]
• a flexible and adequate legislative framework for the organization of traffic;
• road infrastructure: to settle pedestrian crossings, repairing roads, provide the necessary number of parking spaces;
• pay special attention to promotion of traffic safety and clearly show the consequences of traffic violations to people.
The main focus of foreign legislation system, to avoid car accidents on the road and provide its safety is the violators’ liability.
