A few days ago my Grandpa Vance suffered a stroke while opening presents in PA. He has spent the past few days in the hospital, most of which in the hospice ward. He was not getting better, and it was looking more and more like it was his time. Yesterday evening he died, quite peacefully I am told, and with people that love him. While Grandpa Vance was not my "blood" grandparent he had been in my life for a very long time, right around 29 years so pretty much my whole life. I am saddened that he never got to hold my little girl, but he did meet her when she was in her Mommy's belly though. I will not be able to make it up north for the funeral due to lack of money mostly, but also due to the lack of wanting to take time off of work. Waiting almost 3 months for a restaurant to open makes me not want much time off for a while, plus we need the money around here. Pearl, Kim, and I are here for any family that needs us, you know how to reach us...
Work has been going very well, starting to get busier and busier (bad economy my ass). We haven't even advertised yet, and we are getting business.
Speaking of the economy, seriously, they need to stop saying it's bad. If they started saying the economy is just fine I think people would start spending money again and then the economy would be fine, that is if it really is bad to begin with. Economics is a really confusing concept, I am convinced they made it that way to keep us down. Capitalism is just Feudalism re-packaged...

I'm so sorry for your loss hunn! Losing a grandparent is definitely hard, and it seems harder once you have children of your own. xx
You do "rant" well...almost as well as Bob...
I'm sorry for your loss.
I had to comment on the economy - you are so right! Economy rises and falls on people's fears. If everyone would stop hooping and hollering, things would work out.
