About a month ago my youngest daughter came to visit me. She brought her friend Lisa and they both started giving me a bad time about my "old fashioned phone". You woulda thunk I was carrying an old rotary phone in my pocket. No, it was a small black cell phone with no special features (app's??) and not the "smart phone" style.

They said, I needed one where I could "txt" and something more modern. I was happy with what I had and when they said, "Well, you know they're going to discontinue that phone soon" I replied "I can wait til then". I am learning a new language so I also replied, "I have no need for bling".

This little black phone shaped like a wad of tar was doing a lot of "failed calls" and just failing all around. I called my carrier, used to be phone company, and the rep told me I had a SIM card in it that wouldn't work in my area too well. When he told me the companies name I started to lose my control.

First of all when I opened the account I was told they were using a reputable phone system that I was comfortable with and the SIM card was that companies SIM card. But oh no! They sent me a phone with another carriers SIM cad knowing that this SIM card was not good in the area I lived.

I cancelled and opened an account for less money with unlimited "txt"ing" and phone calls for one price. It was perfect but little did I know how "perfect". I'm not a "txt'er". I like to hear a voice and in particular my children's voices. So I started calling my kids with this new phone and I couldn't reach them. Imagine, with a cell pone they carry in their purse?!?! So I had this revelation. I would "txt" them.

HA HA HA!! My phone lit up with return "txt's" and the rest is history! They wanted to know what kind of phone, what my rates were and on and on with how many "apps"!! OK, I'm learning and I didn't know what to answer.

So, ok, maybe I can't hear their sweet voices but I hear their sweet "txt's"!!

I decided last week to visit my kids and grandkids in California last week.

I took Amtrak and then the Metro Line and landed in Ontario. CA where my son lives. His beautiful wife and the G-kids greeted me so wonderfully I was pushed to extreme happiness because of this love!

Needless to say, his dog just couldn't get enough of me nor the cat. These 2 pets are the best. When I woke up after overnight they were with me in my bed. All snuggled up like 3 pupa's in a cocoon!!

I got re-acquainted with my new G-son, Gabe. He knew I was a stranger and he looked me over for awhile. But in a short time we were pals. His older brother, Leo, was all over me too. They also love their Mom and Dad to the max. When one of them leaves the house to go shopping you should see the excitement in the kids eyes when they walk through the door. Heck the dog and the cat too. Leo and the pets run to the Mom or Dad and Gabe crawls to them as fast as he can.

I know I have mentioned this before but my siblings were a pain in the neck. But God rewarded me with a great family. And my son is just 1/3 of it.

During the week I went to stay with my sisters. They are getting very old now and are not really able to take care of themselves properly. I have offered to live with them, and even pay rent, but they refuse my help. I can't figure my siblings out. But simply put they have never been loving towards me. I have long ago accepted this but I know they need to be watched. But because of their attitude towards me it's not as carefully as it should be. Yes, they are obstinate!

The week also meant a visit with my niece, Cecelia. She is a darling and a real delight. She has the manners and attitude of a saint. We spent the day together and we also went for our favorite pasttime meal. A cheeseburger together. She has never been accepted by my siblings because she in not a blood relative. She was adopted by my late brother, a man she proudly called and loved as her Dad!

The weekend was then spent with my daughter and pal, Carly. She is the twin sister of my son and we have a great relationship. Quite simply, we love to hang. She drove me back to Arizona and we spent the weekend at the Casino where I work. She "fell in love" with the guitar player then she left to go home.

I am so proud of my family. They have all done well and they deserve everything they have.

Yes, I love my family very much!

Does anyone know what happen to Robert? Is he going to return? I think he has yet to post the final chapter of his Indiana Jones (CS version) story.


....not to mention his sense of humor is missed.

I have noticed that for the most part...CS turns into a serious fest without him....well, at least for me.

But...

Maybe he found the love of his life and is no longer needs to be here.

So all of these things is what relation with marriage? Yes,definitely.It is very simple that no matter who you are and where you are from,if a person has a evil heart and never know reflect on self,whatever who married with and where married with,he also will not get happiness.Like many women married with foreigners but later also divorced.Why?The evil survive all the time whatever she married with who and where she goes to,her evil follow her all the time too.A marriage for money,also the happiness will also lost cause of evil and benefit.Because here almost most of people chase for money and benefit even sacrifice others's authority and life,they are willing to do that.But family is not a game of benefit and evil.Everyone has excellence and faults.But the choice is decided by self.Or some people went out of here,like the news of Italy some days ago,they protested the police of there ,but they didn't dare to resist the evil and garbage action of here.It is not right and also so disgusting.But many foolish people who they are slaves of here say that they love China Country.That is So Ridiculous!Why?They didn't dare to resist evil but dare to resist the police of free and respected country!Surely it doesn't mean that freedom is ready for rogue's free?
What i said that is not saying anything to anyone and anywhere.Just it is for right,true or false.Happy familys are all alike,but unhappy are fill with all kinds of unhappiness,because like god and evil,happiness always fill with all kinds of active mind and soul like god,but evil also fill with all kinds of bad things like evil.
For me,serious marriage is not only for love and emotion,but also the most important is for religion,heart,mind and soul.
Like the bible says the third kingdom Solomon of Israel who was the most clever and richest in history,he prayed for god just for wisdom,it can make him judge people with fair and righteous.What is wisdom, but not clever?Wisdom is the soul &mind of righteousness and integrity in right things and direction.Soul and mind is the real life.So there has a word "A dead-alive person".So i understand very much like the TED Talks said:Embrace the near win and success is a continuous journey.Also like marriage and countries:No one is perfect,but we can continue to make more progress all the time.So reflection and feeback is pivotal.We can be better and better more and more until we be perfect in ends of life.
My English is not good,but i am learning and making more progress step by step everyday.
Thank you so much.I am very happy and be gateful internet for i can get more happiness and hope.This world belongs to god and there has more sunny and active people.

Has anyone seen or talked to the Catman?

I saw a beautiful pair of twins.. little girls today. I mentioned I have a pair of twins, female too but both are already grown. I remember when they were much younger,like 8 years old, several occasions, they'd have the same dreams, say complete sentences at the same time, for example "Let's go outside and play, or Mom can we have some cookies?. They would also end up in the same exact, position even if one was left sleeping apart in another room, or farther away from the other as my mom would help or a family member in putting them to sleep when it's bed time. I remember once my mom was at the foot of the bed with Melissa in her arms and I was with Melanie.. We both went to sleep and about half hour later I woke up and notice Melissa moving.. Slightly.. Away form my mom, I kept watching and as the minutes went by, both keep moving away slightly until both are together in the middle of the bed and holding hands or in identical positions. I don't understand it all and I although I would want to.. I KEEP THOSE SPECIAL MEMORIES ALWAYS and know that yes they are indeed unique and special.

Everyone kept looking and talking about them, more exactly about him. finally, they deserve what they have been longing for, true love and marriage life.

There she went my buddy, to the States, to her new home, new life. my heart nearly stopped beating when i listened to her husband's sharing and her stories of how they found and grew love from this website into a a realized dream, how they came to the believe that love is true. Every detail, everything happened as a heavenly magic.

It is true love that transforms people's lives. the real man makes other women envious of his woman instead of his woman to be envious of others. My buddy found him and when will I?

There are 2 schools of thoughts arguing within me now. 1 says just relax, let it come without notice, the other says stay away from non-marriage minded men. well, trying not to be so obsessed by finding love but the damn love-abundant heart keeps asking me the same old question again and again lol.

If there is a mighty power or positive energy surrounding me that is created by what I have generated into the universe, Please hear my prayer, my wish to bring us together as one forever :)

Today my Indian ex-classmate says he misses me so much and ... he would divorce if i agreed to come to him...even we just had some talks and walks togetger sometimes when we studied together a year ago and some online conversations now and then. He has no issues with his current family! Why are many men unloyal? Willing to abandon his wife who has shared nearly 20 years of ups and downs to run after his own new feelings that who knows will subside quickly after being satisfied?

Feeling bad for him but suddenly feel sorry for me lol. Why most of married men like me not single ones? Whereas, i m not looking for NSA or FWB. So ironic.

RELEASED and GRATEFUL!

Phone broke, overspending for beloved got me in sudden trouble at the beginning of new year. this incident shows a big gap in my financial risk management lol.

though it is new year time i had no other ways but make phone calls to my debtors to ask for the money back even though i didn't want to do that at all. 1 picked up the call with another promise to return the loan in 1 or 2 years the other even didn't pick up the call

Superfrustrated, i didn't make another call to the 3rd one and started talking with my friends. and in a blink my problem is solved weeee friendship

Sometimes in life, the effects don't come in a linear way but a zigzag. we can hardly receive a help back from those we exerted it to but normally from someone new. however, i guess it goes in a circle and one way or another, good things will bounce back to us

You made my day, friends. Love you all, the good and the bad those taught me and made me feel

My friend said no matter you are coupled or single, what you really need is peace in mind. Having peace enjoying foods i prepared for myself
