Grandma it has been a year.

It has been one year since grandma past and there are not many days that I do not think about her.  This year I have been thinking about her since the 21st, which was her birthday.

You are missed and loved as much now as ever.  I miss you,

Love Shane

So, we had a loss tonight.  Our poor betta fish Sushi died today.  Very sad news.  We do not know why or when.  The boys and I came home tonight and I saw that Sushi was at the bottom of his bowl and not moving.  I tried to get him to move and he did not.

After the kids got in bed I asked Aidan to come down and take his medicine and I told him.  He was very sad and cried.  We decided to not tell Elliott as he might get sad and cry too.  Aidan said we should say that he wanted to become a Ninja and put one of those head bands on and went to Japan.  I added that maybe when he was swimming there he ran in to Mater while towing a car to Japan.

Sad sad day for the betta and Aidan.

Young little kids....

What do you tell your 3 year old when he says are we going to die? Do you see where this is going? Tears, sadness and then I'll tell you what Elliott did.


So, I said to him that everyone dies. Yes, there were tears and sadness on his part. But, I said, for every minute that you are sad there is a minute that you will miss out on doing something fun and exciting. I said that it will be a long time before you die, so lets not talk about it because it is making me sad too.


He finishes his drink and gold fish and then he says things like, but I won't be able to play with my green truck when I am dead and I will be thirsty when I am dead and being dead is not fun. TIL (Today I Learned) kids are a lot more honest, straight forward, understand our world and know more than we think they do.

TIL (Things I Learned) about Google Chrome

Google Chrome has a great feature where you can synchronize what Chrome looks like between browsers.  If a theme is installed or your bookmark bar is synced between a laptop and desktop or any other Chrome install you have.

What I learned is I am a nice guy (ok, I know this is self centered but I think you will agree what I did and what this other guy did are two different things).

I recently found that someone had their GMail account password stored in Chrome.  So when I went to Google Chrome that account logged in.  Since it is not mine I told Chrome to forget the password.  As well they had the syncing setup and I logged them out as well.  I then logged in and synced my bookmark bar so I would have my book marks.  Since I logged in last week to that PC I had not been on it.  I noticed that most of my book marks were no longer on my bookmark bar.and could not figure out how that happened.  I just figured it out.  Thanks to the asshole that deleted all my bookmarks that I had synchronized with Chrome.  It really shows what type of person you are.  I could say or do things as well but I have the self control NOT to do those things.

I took me years to get those book marks.  Thanks.

Hockey.. Canada eh!

My oldest guy is in hockey now.  This is the 2nd week we are out.  At this point the coaches are evaluating the kids for skill and placing them in groups with similar skill.  He broke his first stick today.  Need to pick up two just in case this happens again.

My little guy is so sweet....

My grandma passed away in December of '10 and that is sad for everyone that knew her.  My little guy, who is 3, said the other day at my moms that he wishes he was a super hero and he could bring great grandma back to the hosbibal (cute) so that the doctors could make her better.

Every time that we went to see her I told him he should go say hi and give her a hug and a kiss.  He was shy the last time that he saw her.  I know he is little but I wanted him to know that she cared for him.

I do miss my grandma, it has been over 6 months now and I still think about her and miss her.  And so does my little guy.

Google+

Ok... Facebook is done.  Don't like it, never got in to it.  REALLY like Google+.  Android phone works REALLY well with it and they have updated the app to make it work well.  Have not figured out how to add people using the app but that will come.

Did some searches on some people this past week.  Interesting where people end up in life eh?  Crazy world this is.

The family is doing really well.  My big guy wants to be an actor and my little guy just loves Finn McMissle.... great movie by the way - loved Cars.  Cars 2 had shooting in it, the first did not.

Well, it is late... need my sleep.
