You are sweet.<br /><br />However, do please remember the <i>original</i> Wet Spot Machine was discovered and reported by the blogger known as But Why? – to give credit where credit is due. I only referred people to this amazing thing. But Why? herself seems to have either disappeared or is taking a very long break from blogging. I just looked, and her latest post dates back to 2009. That's a long break even by my standards (a long break by yours, of course, would be about 48 hours, no? You prolific thing). <br /><br />I have an essay to write. It's not going well. I must back to it, for I should hand it in today. I don't think I shall, mind, for the lecturer has said that extra time until the end of the week is okay. I would prefer finishing it today, but procrastination rules, ok…<br /><br />xAnna MRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13801478271766064478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24659266.post-6572459095482884152012-12-09T16:35:12.116-05:002012-12-09T16:35:12.116-05:00And I like your humour.

I still show people the picture of the "Wet Spot Machine" which I first saw in your blog.<br /><br />As I write, I remember a poem to Our Lady of Chimayo, and a winter of yours.

Thank you.<br /><br />I have been mostly away from the blog world for quite some time; but I'm partially back now, and I'll be sure to check in with you more regularly again. You are and always have been a good sort, and I recognised you immediately as such, all those years ago. <br /><br />xAnna MRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13801478271766064478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24659266.post-12453202519603054132012-12-09T11:55:54.354-05:002012-12-09T11:55:54.354-05:00Your words of concern make me feel great.

I am really sorry to hear about your ...Hei Montag.<br /><br />I am really sorry to hear about your news. The fact that we <i>know</i> this is the way of life, that The End comes at the end and as the end, and that it is the "correct order" of things for parents to go before their children, doesn't make it any simpler to comprehend and deal with, when it actually happens or begins to happen to oneself. <br /><br />Words of condolence and sympathy, no matter how heartfelt, tend to sound a bit trite in these circumstances, and there isn't anything anyone can <i>do</i>, to make it go away or otherwise – apart from offering these words. Unless, of course, one is somewhere relatively nearby and can offer help in practicalities, should the need arise. As I am not in the position to offer to push the vacuum cleaner around for you, or to do your dishes so that you can take some time out for yourself or something, all I have is words to give; and so, without wanting to turn it all around and talk about my problems and worries, I just want to tell you that my current life situation is similar (my mother has been diagnosed with a fatal condition this year) and hence I really and truly <i>know</i> how it feels, and how you might be feeling – although obviously, we all react in our own way, feel our own feelings. But I can have a personally-felt inkling of how you might feel. <br /><br />So, you know. I hope you can still have this one more Christmas together with as much joy and gratitude and love as is possible. Sending you my thoughts of friendship, sympathy and empathy. <br /><br />xAnna MRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13801478271766064478noreply@blogger.com
