I just received a phone call from my mother and Aunt #4 died this morning. Her health condition was critical and she did not resist.

I received the bad news quite well what puzzled my co-workers. I believe they expected me to receive the news in a more sadly way. This doesn’t mean I don’t care but she is an …

Yesterday I wasn’t in conditions to update my blogs. The tooth issue was resolved. The tooth couldn’t be repaired and was removed. After several failed attempts, the tooth had to be broken in two and remove each part separately.

I’m happy and at the same time disappointed. Google just updated (I think it’s over) and:

Blogspot Blog: The one I lately have almost only been writing paid posts (from PU2B) in and the one I only don’t stop writing there because I have some sidebar links for one year, just got a PR2 (it was a PR3 …
