all the horror of having vista as an operating system is not coming true!!!
does this mean we shouldn't take for granted what we are told but use the brains we claim to have and find out for ouselves? dont ask me i'm mentally ill and believe in conspiracy theories (a little like Dale of King of the hill fame).

saw my kids this weekend, i don't think its wrong to say they are in care at the moment. they've grown a lot since we last saw them, not only physically have they matured but their personalities have grown too. the oldest a girl is scarily mature, understands the stories on soaps, knows about her situation in care and as sort of decided for herself about who cares for her. the younger two both boys haven't changed as much physically, but emotionally they are both different people!!!

admitted it to myself this weekend, i write short stories. they are fictional accounts based on real stuff from my past what i observe (people watching) and what i undersatnd of this world. a few years back a little book was published, a sheffield based support group for dads (FATHER FIGURES) helped me edit and string together some stories i had wrote about been a father (thank you Ben, Peter (chopper) and all the others) this inspired me to keep writing. i now attend a workshop with an average hack called simon crump (sorry simon, you ain't that bad!)and as i say i've expanded my themes a little. anyway to stop the blathering i have admitted i would like to be published again one day but more important to me is that one day my kids or grandkid find the folder with my writings in it and understand me a little better through reading them...
