Well, I usually post earlier, but I didn't know if I'd be going this year due to hectic ticket issues, but they just came through so I'm gonna leave in a few hours after posting this. I'll be going through my usual Fourth of July activities, where I'm going to visit my parents and grandparents for the week and spend some time with them. I should be back and ready to post on Monday the 7th, so I'll see you all then. Keep the place going for me, and I'll find what I missed when I return.

Well, I'm back, guys. Thanks for the well-wishes, I hope you all had a great 4th and are all safe and sound. Had a fun week, like I usually do: visiting the parents and grand-parents like I do every year around this time. I hardly ever see them so it's fun to be able to go back home and see them all.
Just had one little mishap: when I got off the plane ride back, I found out that the camera, which had the only pictures I had of myself and would've put them up so you all can finally get a look at who I am, got broken in the ride, and realized I had it packed next to the metal frame of the suitcase and thereby forced it to crash against it and break before I could unload them onto my computer, so I guess it'll be a while still before you all see my ugly mug.

Well, some sad news folks. I got home last night to hear that my grandmother, whom I just visited a few weeks ago on vacation, died during the week and I just found out about it. I don't know much about it, but apparently they're doing the services on Friday so I'm going back out to attend it. I most likely will be back on Monday again so I can help my family get over it for a few days, but no guarantees about it. Hope you all have a good time and I'll see you all when I can.

Thank you both, it was indeed pretty sad but I'm back, for now.
It turns out that she ended up having a heart attack on Tuesday morning and was rushed to the hospital by a neighbor who heard her collapse, although on route they ended up being struck by another car and she died from the impact of that since it was on the passenger side. The neighbor just has a few cuts from the glass and some muscle soreness but is otherwise okay, considering she died in his arms so to speak. So, even though it happened Tuesday morning, I didn't get the call until Wednesday night, with the funeral services taking place on Friday (no traditional funeral, just a church service followed by a reception afterward) but I stayed there to help out and got back last night.

Apologies for my being a year late, but I'm very sorry to hear about your grandmother. And like all our departed loved ones she will live on inside you forever.

I'm sure you've noticed how I wasn't around the last couple days. I've had computer problems starting Saturday afternoon, where my computer completely crashed and will not start. I can't even get into the secure mode to fix it, but I also don't have the money to get it fixed, so I'm pretty much boned for a while and will have to rely on my friends' computer (which I'm on right now) to get here, and it might not be everyday at that. There's really very little I can do at this point, so please bear with me on this, and I'll do what I can to get here. And if you could help me out with this, I'll be eternally grateful for it.
