and https://zonalert.wordpress.com/tag/hu...
while the information in the blog post is definitely wrong about the authors mentioned as the blog post is more of a vindictive rant rather than a balanced argument, but nevertheless it highlights a possible practice within the industry. Again, I'd like to make it clear that the info within the posts is debunk.
Christine - hope all goes well with your Dad. I went through similar things with my mother 4 years ago and it is so stressful to be getting calls and running to the hospital. Best to your Dad and all the family.Ter'e - take care of your husband and best wishes to you and him. A house is an inanimate object and will still be there when things settle down. Family first - great choice!
Sadly, something must be in the air. A friend of ours mentioned on facebook that she had a stroke in October and is recovering, and another facebook friend's husband was diagnosed with cancer and he has quickly passed away. Reminders to be so grateful for my wonderful life and not worry about the small stuff.

Hugs from all of us here.

Never thought about it, but one of my favourite programmes and so good this year.
It really is a great dancing competition.
Anhhhh Christine.....Sending love and strength to you, my friend. You have sure been tested lately. I hope they can come to a decision as to what is happening with your dad.
You take it easy..........enjoy your days with him.

Oh Christine, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. You and your family have been through so much, in such a short time. My heart and love goes out to you and your dad. I am praying for your dad. I know what it is like to deal with a parent that has heart problems. My late mom died at the age of 84 of degenerate heart failure. She was always being rushed to ER with some sort of arrythymia. At least in Canada, we are fortunate that we don't have to deal with Medigap. Be strong and keep us updated. Take care of yourself.
Sorry to hear about your dad Chris. I'm praying for you girl and Dad!!! Keep us informed about how things are going. Hugs, kisses and lots of love!!!
Sending warm wishes and hugs and a shoulder for you to lean on Chris. xoxo
Sending best wishes to you and your Dad Christine. Xx

That's the last thing you need to be dealing with at this terrible time.
Wow, thank all you guys for the love and well wishes!! I really appreciate all the kind notes. Will see how things shake out. So far Dad remains a mystery patient. Doing fairly well though hospitals sure do a number on older people's memories...
My thoughts are with you at this time Christine.

I have added 7-8 photos taken over the last 4 days where my wife and I did our Christmas Market Fayre.
Hope you like the pictures, sadly the weather was not good and not as successful as before.
But great characters and good fun.
My heart is so heavy right now. Yesterday one of youngest cousins lost her battle with cancer, she was only 6 years old. In her short time here on earth, she touched a lot of lives including one of the players from the Washington Wizards. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/22...Earlier this week, my best friend's husband lost his father just days before they were supposed to travel to see him so he could meet his great-granddaughter in person.
Then last week, we lost my great uncle. Right now I really feel bad for my grandmother. Last week she loses her brother, this week her great-granddaughter.

What an awful few days it's been for you and your family. Especially horrible when a child dies. Deepest sympathies and best wishes to you and yours, Lorrea. Take good care.
Lorrea, I'm so sorry. That's a heavy load of grief to carry. Take care of yourself and your family.

Lorrea - So sorry for your losses to you and your family.
Lorrea........What a difficult time for your family. Especially hard to bear during the holidays. My heart goes out to you and yours..........
Mod
My heart and thoughts are with you and your family.
It has been a tough time for you
thank you all for your warm thoughts.
So sorry for what you and your family are dealing with Lorrea. It is so painful to lose people you love. To lose a child though, that must be especially difficult. My heart goes out to you as well as my prayers.Christine, how is dad doing????
Hi Dawn, he got out of hospital yesterday and is in rehab to build him up a bit. I think it is starting to sink in a bit that he probably can't go back to his apartment because of these unpredictable spells. He's depressed, understandably. Kinda heartbreaking to watch...
Christine your dad is in my thoughts and lorrea I'm very sorry that your cousin passed away from cancer
Christine wrote: "Christine your dad is in my thoughts and lorrea I'm very sorry that your cousin passed away from cancer"Thank you, NJ Christine.
Christine,glad your dad got out of the hospital, and is in rehab, but can understand why he is depressed. It is so sad to see these changes as they effect the elderly.
Lorrea, I am very sorry that your cousin passed away from cancer.

That has to be a big pill for him to swallow, and of course it is hard for you to watch. I just hope you guys have a peaceful holiday. You are definately in my thoughts!!!

Autumn - oh my, I love this article and so many of the recommendations. Thanks so much for posting. Some I've read, some I own and will move up the list and some I have not heard of but will add to the TBR list. Awesome!
Christine - I hope your Dad continues to improve and enjoys the holidays.
Janet - what is boxsetting? I don't know on this side of the pond.
What is boxsetting, Janet? Speak English!!! Is it like gift wrapping?
Janet wrote: "Haven't been reading much of late, staying up late boxsetting and catching some movies."I am a boxsetter too! Now that we are on christmas break me and the boys are finally going to work our way through the last two series of Breaking Bad, before we move on to Sons of Anarchy.
Elaine and Janet - does that mean sitting down with a box set of a TV series and watching it straight through? We call that binge watching.
Now I understand Pat...if this is what she means!
Sue wrote: "What is boxsetting, Janet? Speak English!!! Is it like gift wrapping?"Sue - I thought giftwrapping too!!!
My brother-in-law is from London...and nobody can understand him either!!!
Well, I have to go bedsitting, and get some sleep as I have to go Christmas shopping tomorrow morning, and it is 1:10A.M. now. Have to be up by 7:30A.M.

How many books will you read on your break, Sean?
It'll be more than me; I intend to spend my free time writing.
