    The day Dartmouth stood still...

     The price of conflict
     
    There is no words to describe a soldier that meant so much to a village, so much to all who live here, from shopkeepers, to pub owners, from taxi drivers to the people who live in Dartmouth, a sad day felt by all who paid their respects!

    The sun shone bright just like Brett.

    A Dartmouth Hero, Never Forgotten!...

    Personally i was going to leave the sad news where the girls where concerned, they have been through so much already, i just didn't want them to...well i guess to know , so for the past week and half  i said nothing. I never thought that the school was going to let the pupils know.

    The girls had already read the letter, all pupils have been explained to by the teachers that they wouldn't see Brett in  or around school again! When Nick came back from the school run he said he had never walked into a school so quiet...I looked at the girls obviuose signs that tears at some point had been shed, Nicks own son at 5 years old has today found out what dieing really means, the same confused upset look on his face has was on  two of the girls faces back in 2006.
     
    Sue and Peter (Bretts parents)- Sue was involved in the communitie in so many ways both have known the girls since the week i moved to Dartmouth.

    Missed you guys, strange has that most deffo is...

    Never thought i could actually MISS people sat otherside of their computers, Those i know, well sure i miss them, both over a net connection and in the real world, (more so when i cannot text to keep in touch) but peeps out there  'lost in livespace'.... who i have never met off here. Confused... i missed you guys too. crazy eh??

    Well i can explain where i been or rather why i have not been sat right here enjoying the daily 'live fix'...

    FRIDAY- Wishes you all a great weekend! Had LOTS of design stuff/coursework to catch up on, and LOTS of washing
    (and ironing) to also catch up on...So off i goes to 'catch up' with it all, expecting it to take me ALL weekend to do!

    LATE LATE FRIDAY EVENING- Shock! computer starts running slow...very slow! So i runs crapcleaner through it,....SORTED!...switches the computer off and goes to bed i was knackered.
    Oh hell yeah, sorted it sure was!!!!

    SATURDAY-Switches on the computer to ALL files been deleted!...only shortcuts left. ALL programes non excistent, just blank ....gone! Tryed to reinstall all but nope dam computer didn't want to play THAT game, instead it wanted to play the one of 'recover me from scratch' !... (dad don't stress!!, i saved the design for you onto disk,..didn't save anything else but your design is safe so long has mad mutt don't chew the disk!  Going to stick it back on photoshop and ....mail it to you soon has done,  hopfully by morning ) Smile

    Sooo, Saturday was a LONG drawn out day, full of '' insert recovery disk' and wait for updates once done.....nearly 8hours later, yay i has my puter back, i thought. only something wasn't right!...something was going VEEERY slow still, Bro will sort it i thought...!

    SATURDAY/SUNDAY MORNING- problem still not sorted, the why a mystery, i mean how hard can it be to boot from disk, shove in few recovery disks, wait to load and update to brand spanking new Cdrive???

    Ha! but when some numpty does the recovery whilst still connected to the internet then it is going to pick up first 'crap slow' net connection it can find, has some NUMPTY hasn't installed service provider so how the hell can the computer be connected to the net from that brand spanking new Cdrive!!!

    SUNDAY- Came and went in a somewhat deja vu state!... 'recovery' updates (taking only 2 hours this try) and yup minus the net being conected!

    MONDAY AND TUESDAY- Hmmm! spend those two days taking girls school....readding software!
                                                  Picking girls up from school.....re-adding software inbetween seeing to them!...playing with mad mutt whilst taking one disk out to insert next.

    TODAY!!... Today i came away from this computer, was TOTALLY sick of seeing the dam thing! Bro no 1 came over and layed down the other 3 paving slabs. Open-mouthed...
    (Photos to follow...)!!

    Has before he left me a mountain of mud to shovel 'somewhere'... i decided not to ask him where to this time !


    Mum has decided yesterday that has her doctor gives her the impression that she doesnt want to know, then mum has taken the attitude that she doesnt either....! Has of this morning she has stopped ALL her care as she says she cannot afford it (£104 per week) so now she is quite literally on her own, ...Dad and bro no 1 went up today to make sure mum ate something and took her pills, has she has been told the same has i did on friday, 'if she doesn't then she will have a stroke'

    Am going to have a word when i go to this event tomorrow, feel like i for one now has no idea if mum has been ok in the night or in the evenings has there is now no carers popping by.Am not sure why mum does these things, when she knows she is not 100% back to herself!

    Blimey is that the time...better be taking myself to my bed, accompynied by sleeping little one that seems to of at some point whilst i been doing this blog, sneaked in and got cosy in my bed with Solitaire cuddled up to her.... SO HATE DOGS ON BEDS AND SOFAS!!!!! GRRrrrr  Angry....and now my blog is not publishing it's entry properly ..i give in !

    Dreams!..What exactlly are they?....

    Chatting with some CAD friends we got totaly of topic and onto 'our dreams'
     
    Dreams ,i always thought was something you had when your asleep but your mind is in a subconscious state, something that feels has though it is actually happening but in fact you are asleep, it isnt untill you awake that you realize it was all just a dream and 9/10 times go back to sleep right?....well that is what i thought having a dream was!
     
    It seems that a person can also want to 'have something', 'do something', or even 'want to achieve something' and that is called having a dream too.
     
    Now here is my confusion!
     
    My aims and goals in life started when i was 13.
    my dad took me to an Architects and Design exhibition at Doncaster Racecourse,
    From that day on i always had one focus in life, ...one aim and one goal...To work in the design field! Architect/Interior Design.
     
    My plan of being where i am today at 31 didnt quite work out, when it came down to the 'do i have children now and work on my career in design when i hit 30 (which i did) or do i choose to have the career first and just has that may be taking off then have children?!....i decided to have children in my 20's (22 to be exact) and carry on career wise with my one goal in life when they are all at full time school , to work in the design field  which is what i am doing today (Was not planning on being mum to 3, and certainly wasnt ever planning on being a single mum to the 3 either, but thats life!, )...So far my goals, and aims that i decided upon right back when i was 13years old are today slotting very nicely into place. Smile
     
    So the way i see it is -I DO NOT HAVE 'DREAMS IN LIFE' I HAVE AIMS, GOALS AND A TARGET OF WHERE I WANT TO BE....Am i strange? or weird? are my goals and aims  in life what you and others call  your dreams in life? 

     

    Hmm  this one  is going to really niggle at me!!

    A poem snt from a friend who..well poem says it really!

    Read
    Alone.....

    Especially the Poem


    I believe whatever is in store for

    us will be for us.

    The poem is very true, unfortunately.

    Make sure you read the poem!
    CASE 1: Kelly Sedey had one wish,
    for her boyfriend of three years,
    David Marsden, to propose to her.
    Then one day when she was out
    to lunch David proposed!
    She accepted, but then had to leave
    because she had a meeting in 20 min.
    When she got to her office,
    ! !
    she noticed on her computer she had some e-mail's.
    She checked it, the usual stuff
    from her friends, but then she saw one
    that she had never gotten before.
    It was this poem. She simply deleted it
    without even reading all of it.

    BIG MISTAKE! Later that evening,
    she received a phone call from the
    police
    It was about DAVID! He had been in an accident
    with an 18 wheeler. He didn't survive!


    CASE 2: Take Katie Robinson She received this poem
    and being the believer that she was
    she sent it to a few of her friends but
    didn't have enough e-mail addresses to send out
    the full 5 that you must.
    Three days later, Katie went to a masquerade ball.
    Later that night when she left to get to her car,

    she was killed in that spot by a
    hit-and-run drunk driver.


    CASE 3: Richard S. Willis sent this poem out
    within 45 minutes of reading it.
    Not even 4 hours later walking along the street
    to his new job interview with a really big company, !
    when he ran into Cynthia Bell,
    his secret love for 5 years. Cynthia came up to him

    and told him of her passionate crush on him
    that she had had for 2 years.
    Three days later, he proposed to her and they got married.
    Cynthia and Richard are still married
    with three children, happy as ever!


    This is the poem:
    Around the corner I have a friend,
    In this great city that has no end,
    Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
    And before I know it, a year is gone.
    And I never see my old friends face,
    For life is a swift and terrible race,
    He knows
    I like him just as well,
    As in the days when I rang his bell.
    And he rang mine but we were younger then,
    and now we are busy, tired men.
    Tired of playing a foolish game,

    Tired of trying to make a name.
    'Tomorrow' I say! 'I will call on Jim
    Just to show that I'm thinking of him.'
    But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
    And distance between us grows and grows.
    Around the corner, yet miles away,


    'Here's a telegram sir,' 'Jim died today.'


    And that's what we get and deserve in the end.

    Around the corner, a vanished friend.

    Remember to always say what you mean.
    if you
    love someone, tell them.
    Because when you decide that it is the right time it might

    be too late.
    Seize the day. Never have regrets.

    And most importantly, stay close to your friends
    and family, for they have helped
    make you the person that you are today. 

    SMILE, even through your
    tears!!!!!


    Just wanted to thank Si for sending this to me via facebook. It made me realize that the time i used to have i never seem to have anymore!

    Beautiful words with great meaning, sent by a friend...

    Ordinarily people are not happy when they are alone. They feel very empty, they feel something is missing. They can't live alone for long periods, even an hour looks like many hours. They escape into a relationship. The realtionship is just an escape from oneself. It is not a true relationship, it is negative; a man falls in love with a woman just to avoid his loneliness. A woman falls in love with a man just to avoid her loneliness.

    The positive relationship is a totally different one. You are not trying to escape from yourself. You love to be yourself, you love your aloneness, you rejoice, and whenever you find time you move into it. But in aloneness so much bliss is created that you have to share it. It become like a burden, like a cloud full of rainwater - it has to shower. It doesn't matter whether the earth needs it or not, it does not matter whether the trees are receptive or not; it has to shower, it has to unburden itself.

    Remember, the greatest burden in life is when you are overflowing with bliss. Everything else can be carried, but bliss has to be shared. It is the greatest burden - sweet, but a mountainous burden. You cannot carry it alone, you needs friends to share it with. Then a relationship is positive. Then you don't fall in love, you rise in love. Then a man rises in love with a woman.

    Star sign down to a near perfect T

                    

    all about taurus

    Taurus needs a partner

     who will reinforce feelings

    of comfort and familiarity.

    Also,

    Taurus needs someone

    who’s willing to stand on principle,

     and hopefully,

     prevent Taurus from

    getting stuck in a rut.

    Taurus can become very bossy

    in a one-on-one relationship,

    so this “my way or the highway”

    approach

    would be best met by

    at least

    as much

    persistence and vigor.

    Taurus also needs

    a partner who

     encourages deeper analysis

    of people’s feelings

    and motivations.

    Taurus can easily be

    caught in the

    material aspect of life,

    and unless someone is able

    to nudge Taurus

    into occasional encounters

    with emotion and spirituality,

    Taurus would be missing

    some very important

    aspects of life.

    Because Taurus is ruled by Venus,

    it’s especially important for this

    pleasure-seeking person

    to feel “good” about a relationship.

    In general, Taurus’ stability

    makes for

    a person who is

    easily domesticated and an

    ideal marriage partner,

    so long as the Taurus person

    can be drawn away from

    a self-centered existence

    that consists mainly of

    keeping things just the way they are!. ......

    Thanks Si nice one

    haha

    Respect for you zak and all your biker friends

     

    The Biker

    I saw you, hug your purse closer to you in the grocery store
    line. But, you didn't see me, put an extra $10.00 in the collection
    plate last Sunday.

    I saw you, pull your child closer when we passed each other on
    the sidewalk.
    But, you didn't see me, playing Santa at the local mall.

    I saw you, change your mind about going into the restaurant.
    But, you didn't see me, attending a meeting to raise more money for the
    hurricane relief.

    I saw you, roll up your window and shake your head when I rode
    by. But, you didn't see me, riding behind you when you flicked your
    cigarette butt out the car window.

    I saw you, frown at me when I smiled at your children. But, you
    didn't see me, when I took time off from work to run toys to the
    homeless.

    I saw you, stare at my long hair. But, you didn't see me, and
    my friends cut ten inches off for Locks of Love.

    I saw you, roll your eyes at our leather jackets and gloves.
    But, you didn't see me, and my brothers donate our old ones to those
    that had none.

    I saw you, look in fright at my tattoos. But, you didn't see
    me, cry as my children were born and have their name written over and
    in my heart.

    I saw you, change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere. But,
    you didn't see me, going home to be with my family.

    I saw you, complain about how loud and noisy our bikes can be.
    But, you didn't see me, when you were changing the CD and drifted into
    my lane.

    I saw you, yelling at your kids in the car. But, you didn't see
    me, pat my child's hands, knowing he was safe behind me.

    I saw you, reading the newspaper or map as you drove down the
    road. But, you didn't see me, squeeze my wife's leg when she told me to
    take the next turn.

    I saw you, race down the road in the rain. But, you didn't see
    me, get soaked to the skin so my son could have the car to go on his
    date.

    I saw you, run the yellow light just to save a few minutes of
    time. But, you didn't see me, trying to turn right.

    I saw you, cut me off because you needed to be in the lane I
    was in. But, you didn't see me, leave the road.

    I saw you, waiting impatiently for my friends to pass. But, you
    didn't see me. I wasn't there.

    I saw you, go home to your family. But, you didn't see me.
    Because, I died that day you cut me off.

    I was just a biker. A person with friends and a family. But,
    you didn't see me.

    Re-post this around in hopes that people will understand the
    biker community.

    If you don't re-post this, It sucks to be you. I hope you never
    lose someone that rides.

    EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE US, RESPECT
