What You Should Know About an Affidavit of Death
"A friend of mine who is a vice president of a title company suggested that I market to people who have recorded an Affidavit of Death (death of a loved one) and approach them to sell their home or possibly attend the funerals. What would you recommend is the proper verbiage or protocol to approach these potential clients? I want to be dignified. He told me if I do not approach them another REALTOR may. I am open to the idea but want to know the correct protocol. Thanks, Debbie."
This particular topic about an Affidavit of Death has been on my mind lately, probably because I've been selling an unusually high number of homes in Sacramento that involve a death in some manner. At first blush, I'm tempted to say that you have a great idea—hounding grieving relatives—and thanks for the idea, Debbie, I should go do it myself.
I'm just joking with you, Debbie. Let's get serious about death. First, you could pull the name of the deceased from an Affidavit of Death recorded in the public records. Bear in mind, however, that not all Affidavits of Death are recorded immediately upon kicking the bucket. You might be better off scouring the Death Notices published in the newspaper.
What Is an Affidavit of Death?
For the rest of you, an Affidavit of Death is an instrument typically signed by a relative or a person close to the deceased. It states the dead person is the same person who was in title to the real property described in the Affidavit of Death. The Affidavit is generally recorded in the public records, along with a certified copy of a death certificate, often at the time the sale of the property is consummated.
However, the Affidavit of Death and accompanying death certificate can be filed at any time by the survivors. Probate lawyers generally prepare the Affidavit of Death, but in the past, title companies would prepare the document, although you might find a few title companies which still do it today.
Now, back to you, Debbie. Here are my thoughts about why this is a bad idea for you. But if you insist upon doing it, here are a few brilliant ideas.
How Not to Approach the Grieving When Chasing an Affidavit of Death
- Wait until the body is in the ground or otherwise disposed of. I know that your heart is in the right place, Debbie, and obviously, you want to protect the grieving family from being battered by a less sensitive real estate agent who is perhaps rushing in to make a fast buck, but patience is a virtue, they say. After the last shovel of dirt, go for it.
- Do not call attention to yourself. You should probably not zip into the parking lot at the funeral service with real estate advertising plastered all over your vehicle and blasting Warren Zevon belting out Knockin' on Heaven's Door. Nor should you wear a flashing sandwich board that pulses with lights: List With Debbie. List With Debbie.
- Do not hover by the guest book to hand out business cards. Muttering: "I'm so sorry for your loss; you should list with Debbie," is likely to get you a fast invitation to leave. Besides, people can't read your cards when their eyes are all puffy, watery and blurry.
- Don't offer to speak during the service. When the minister asks if anybody else has anything they want to add, do NOT raise your hand, regardless of the temptation. This is not a good time to perform your elevator speech: if you're looking for a Realtor, no matter how attentive or distraught the audience appears, because they do not know you. Please remember, while your enthusiasm for the listing grows, you are still a stranger to these people.
- Refrain from littering windshields in the parking lot with Meet Debbie flyers. Although you were so thoughtful to print these flyers on the back of the Affidavit of Death, this marketing approach might seem like you're saving trees since the Affidavit of Death is doing dual purpose, but how about this—how about not printing the affidavit at all? Consider instead making a donation to Nature Conservancy. Besides, trust me, your flyers will simply fly away in a breeze, swat an unsuspecting child in the face, and then the child's parents will throw rocks at your car for making their kid cry.
Acceptable Ways to Approach the Grieving When Chasing an Affidavit of Death
- Consider handing out small boxes of tissues, branded with your company name. I'm not suggesting you leap over the pews or toss a tissue box to that guy at the back of the room, but removing a couple of tissue boxes from your bag, nudging the person next to you and whispering while dabbing tissue at your eyes, please pass these down, is a quiet and dignified way to introduce yourself. Your company name, website, and phone number should be printed discretely, using a tasteful font like Baskerville italic; no Comic Sans, please. Then, quietly switch rows several times during the service to distribute.
- Pass repeatedly through the line for food. This way you can mingle without being obvious. As you reach for the wedge of cheese stuck to a toothpick with an olive on top, and yes, I know, you hate olives, you can strike up an intimate conversation with the person in line next to you: "I had SUCH trouble recording the Affidavit of Death after my mother died; do you like olives?"
- Hire a Scottish bagpipe player to entertain. This is stupendous. Nobody will ask where he came from. Nobody will ask him to leave. He can sashay into the funeral in a kilt, playing that bagpipe, and all the women who were sobbing will stop to pay respects. When he is finished playing, the bagpipe player can announce in that charming Scottish lilt: Sponsored in Sympathy by Debbie Realty.
- Share a photo slide show about the departed on your iPad. This presentation can be called Favorite Places of Mr. Newly Departed. Begin with the Affidavit of Death. Then, using Photoshop, you can creatively insert the body of the deceased into photos of various landmarks about town. Of course, one of those historic landmarks is your real estate office. Share this over cocktails at the reception. Be sure to drink more than necessary.
- Introduce the listing contract party game when everybody has started to drink. Drunk and depressed people make the best real estate clients, ever. They are too drunk to argue with you and won't remember anything the next day anyway and, by then, they will have signed your listing agreement. They will be too embarrassed to ask how it happened. You will be a hero.

The title that foreshadowed modern soccer simulators
Who knows how many FIFA games have been produced to date, given the many platforms that have received a title, and the many, many games that have been produced every year. My guess is, probably in the hundreds. However, FIFA 99 is a turning point for the series for two very pertinent reasons. On one hand the titles in the series begin to look like the modern games everyone knows and enjoys with this one. The animations have become by the time this game hit the market, quite modern, both in the way the players look on the field and, to a degree, in the way they interact with each other. The control scheme is also a bit more simple than previous incarnations. Though not as simple and as playable as a Sensible Soccer game, FIFA 99 still managed to include a whole lot of in just 4 directional buttons plus other 3 control buttons. The question for today's audiences will be a very simple one: is the game really worth it, wouldn't a 2012/2013 title be more playable, overall. Certainly, but, then again, if you want to sample what football simulators could do in 1998, this is the title to go for. It will be a while until Konami will launch their soccer games and steal the crown from EA, but for the era, this was the pinnacle of football simulation.
The Good Ol' Days (for soccer)
FIFA '99 is one of the games that's make older games look and feel better than their newer counterparts. FIFA '99, in my opinion, has a much more responsive and simple control scheme, using only 7 buttons in total (4 for moving your player 3 additional buttons for shooting, passing and centering the ball). The graphics are impressive for today's standards, but let's remember that these graphics were outstanding when the game was released. A great feature that I found in this game the ability of creating you own custom cups and leagues and choosing which teams should participate in.In conclusion, any soccer loving gamers out there might find this one to be a fun little game. And if you have friends, gather some and have fun!

I mean really, if we need to take a few lessons on spreading the word, and sharing a message, this is a great place to start! What was Santa's Secret?
Well when you start breaking it down this guy was a pretty smart dude, and we can all experience magic in our businesses following a few simple strategies that he implemented, if you're a believer and a doer!
What was Santa's story?
Simple, he wanted to come to town and give everyone who was good a present, and those that were bad a lump of coal. Sounds like a pretty big pipe dream really, but hey, this guy is good. So how the heck was he going to accomplish that?
He had a Goal (fantastic at creating an annual business plan)
- He was making a list (of all his clients)
- checking it twice (correct information & target market, who they were, where they lived, what they wanted)
- going to find out who was naughty or nice (assessing annual results & needs of his clients)
- he knew when you were sleeping, awake, bad or good (customer service and solution provider, he really understood his clients and how he was going to help them)
He was a Go Giver (gave to strangers, he knew that everyone was important)
- Presents (took the time to find out what they really wanted and was a great note taker)
- Hope (waiting in anticipation for December 24th, created a feeling of excitement all year, great with TIME Management)
- Memories (family, friends, and he was memorable with his big red suit and signature laugh, he was a master of making dreams come true)
- Fun (he had a team of great people that loved what they did, a sleigh that flew, a reindeer that lead the way with his red shiny nose and a signature belly laugh)
He wanted to help people (bring people together & focus on their skills, strengths, qualities and all the special talents they had)
- He hired elves that were professional toy makers (product & services)
- he had people that shared his vision and wanted to help him achieve his dreams, like Mrs. Claus (Team leader & support)
- he used flying reindeer and Rudolph with his shiny nose (sales & marketing)
- he used the services & skills of people he knew so he could expand and really get the story out – photo booths, Santa's that duplicated him, created movies, tv shows, music (photographers, realtors, trades, etc.)
So, really what was Santa's Secret?
He had a great story, shared his story, attracted people that loved his story, and built a team that liked, knew & trusted each other and him,
they really wanted to help and support each other be the best they could be,
he helped them shine, excel and stand out, and they in turn did likewise, they loved what they were doing,
and it was such a great story that it spread far and wide, and everyone continued to talk about it, which resulted in creating awesome memories that last forever and a story that continues to spread and go down in history.
Now that's what I call "magical", who'd a thought? Santa's Secret.
As we move into another year this is a great time to think about your story. Is it memorable, everyone talking about it, is it going to go down in history?
What can you do to have more fun, add more excitement to your life and create your own amazing story?
What interesting & fun things can you think about that happened this year to start creating a memorable story next year?
A really simple place to start if you have a "story block" think about:
- People you have met
- Who are you helping
- What made you decide to do what you do
- Projects you have collaborated on
- People that have helped you
- Fun stories, sometimes the hiccups in starting a biz
- Success Stories and why you continue to do what you do
Personal or professional, it's about people getting to know the REAL YOU!
What can you do to improve people's lives while creating fun, exciting and meaningful relationships which will result in some great memories and a story that will keep on living and go down in history.
Building relationships one conversation at a time.

"No, It's Getting-Hit-On-The-Head Lessons in Here..."
In the old days, video was shipped around in RG-59-type cables, or big, fat Belden 8281. Both of them had relatively incompressible solid plastic internal insulators. You could very nearly hit the stuff with a hammer without harming it; you could walk on it with impunity and the normal wear and tear of being crammed into tight spots with a few score other similar cables was insignificant.
Fast forward to 2015 -- heck, to 2005 -- and the demands of high-speed serial digital video mean we're using foam-dielectric coax, in about 0.25" and 0.125" diameters. Kink it, bend it tight around a corner, bend it sharply at the connector or step on it, and you have killed it dead. Crunch a tie-wrap tightly around it and it'll conk out deader'n last years Cat. 6 cable under similar circumstances. The littlest stuff won't even withstand a straight pull of more than about 40 pounds force! And occasionally, it lingers, expiring slowly, waiting until the least convenient moment. Now the old-timers at work, they know all there is to know about working with coax -- if they don't know it, it's not worth knowing. Yes, they know everything about the proper care...of RG-59 and 8281. Foam-insulated coax, now, well, the habits of a lifetime are not easy to change. Especially if you don't give too much of a damn. Besides, it usually works. Until it doesn't.
And so it goes. Me, I never drink -- well, hardly ever -- but I came home from work last night and made a nice tall glass of Pimm's No. 1 and rose-elderflower lemonade. I'd've made and consumed two, if I'd had more lemonade. The mess I had to dig through was never very nice but it has somehow become exponentially worse over the last few months, and there's no way to fix it without causing considerable disruption. I'll probably have to be the disruptor -- again.

Optical fiber cables are as bad.. Cleaning up after a trade show we watched a union worker grab a 15m FC cable, coil it tightly around his elbow then take the free end and tie a nice overhand knot to secure the coil. After he left we swept about $10k in cables into the trash can...
Seems all cables are assumed to be as abuse-worthy as your basic outdoor extension cord..

No way to TDR it -- no way to even know where the far end was. I started tracing from what I thought was the source, only to discover it came from somewhere completely else, so I had to start over, at the destination, and work painfully backwards. To begin with, I didn't even have a portable video monitor, and this signal was in three different flavors, depending on where in the chain of converters one was looking.

Yes, coax, twin-ax, etc. were very forgiving of physical abuse if terminated properly. Good on you for fixing the issue!

Hi Roberta,
I'm on the receiving end of OTA television, and the wiring in the house is a mix of RG-6 previously installed by Comcast, and some quad shield RG-6 from home depot installed by me. Is RG-6 the foam dielectric fiddly stuff you're referring to? Or is that a property separate from the cable type to look out for and treat gently? Thanks!
- October 25, 2015 at 8:03 AM
- Roberta X said...
The stuff we use is (still) a riff on RG-59 rather than -6, plus a submini that I don't know the old RG-series number for the base design. It's a little smaller in diameter than 6.
IIRC, RG-6 and relatives are made in both solid and foam core (plus some nasty weatherproof versions with sticky gunk under the outer jacket and a version with a molded-in steel carrier wire that will ruin diagonal cutters). You shouldn't step on or sharply bend any of the flexible cables but the older solid-core stuff has a relatively stiff, incompressible translucent dielectric that is fairly rugged. Foam core has a white, compressible closed-cell foam dielectric. In the latter, the solid center conductor can migrate through the foam if it is sharply bent and it is a lot easier to smash. You can check scraps of your cable and tell what kind it is.
Baseband digital video is generally less tolerant of cable faults than *any* kind of RF: my stuff breaks easier.

It's officially autumn in Stockholm, Sweden though it feels more like winter. In northern Sweden, they've already had their first snowfall. I don't even want to think about snow yet so I figured instead it was time to let you know what I want to read as I prepare to cocoon for the winter… There are a lot of good books out (or soon to be released), making it difficult to pick only a few…
I spent part of Monday evening trawling online bookstores looking for intriguing titles. Here are five books I think I will read as winter chill and darkness settles upon Stockholm:
I love a good ghost story and Justin Cronin's review Chris Bohjalian's The Night Strangers (on Amazon.com) intrigued me. Set in rural New Hampshire, the novel tells the story of Chip Linton, a pilot suffering from survivor's guilt, and what happens when he and his family move into a rambling Victorian house in northern New Hampshire. One day they discover a door bolted with 39 locks…why 39 locks? And does it have anything to do with the 39 people who died in the plane crash Chip survived? This could be the perfect creepy story to get me in the mood for Halloween.
I am a sucker for books set in my hometown of Philadelphia and books with recipes incorporated in the plot. Angelina's Bachelors by Brian O'Reilly (with recipes by his wife, Virginia O'Reilly) satisfies both of my guilty pleasures! The novel is set in South Philly and is described as a Capraesque (even better! I love Frank Capra!) story about a young widow who, following the sudden death of her husband, finds herself cooking for seven unlikely bachelors. According to many reviewers, O'Reilly really captures the vibe of South Philly. I wonder which version of South Philly we get… well, I will just have to order this book and discover it for myself. I have fond memories of times spent in South Philly with my high school and college friends.
Now granted the Silver Spoon is not a book one reads… it's more a book for drooling. It is the bible of Italian food. Tord and I already have a copy of this amazing cookbook but this new edition has photographs–something our edition doesn't have–and I do love a bit of food pornography. I can't help it…especially not when Italian food is involved. So this one is on my list even though what I will probably do is mark recipes and coo at Tord until he fixes them for me, which is one of his favorite things to do at the weekend. And if you want to learn to make proper risotto or cacciatore, then you need this cookbook. And if you don't want to learn how to cook but you like looking at pretty pictures of yummy food…then you should definitely buy this edition of the Silver Spoon.
I loved Martha Southgate's Third Girl From the Left so I was very happy when I heard she had a new novel coming out. Her new book is called The Taste of Salt and tells the story of two generations of an African-American family and how a legacy of addiction affects them. At the centre of the story is Josie, who has chosen to exile herself from her family and finds an escape from it with her profession as a marine biologist. When her mother asks her to come home and pick up her brother from his second stint in rehab, Josie must come to terms with her past and with complexities of her family. I have the feeling this will be one of those books that makes me cry so I will have to prepare myself (and Tord) for bouts of weepiness.
Finally, there's Ellen Sussman's French Lessons. I first heard about this book back in July. A clerk at Waterstones in Harrods told me about it but they didn't have it in stock. I thought about ordering it when I returned to Stockholm but it kept slipping my mind. Now I've written it on my list so I have to buy it!
French Lessons is a novel about three Americans and the experiences they have in Paris via their French tutor. It's also about language, love and how lives intersect in the most unexpected of ways. I was intrigued (still am!) so I think this could be my sit-in-cafés-dreaming-of-a-weekend-trip book for the winter.
So now that you know what I'll be reading, why don't you tell me what you'll be reading this autumn-winter… Drop me a line! Let's compare notes!
And don't forget: you can follow my blog if you enjoy reading it. Just click on the "Follow" tab in the lower-right corner of your screen and enter your details. You'll be notified whenever I update kimtalksbooks–which will be fairly often during the month of November since I'll be keeping you abreast of my Nanowrimo progress and posting the very rough drafts of my Nano chapters.

Stress is a very complex phenomenon. It is, therefore, no surprise that there is no commonly accepted definition. A widely used working definition is an adaptive response, mediated by individual differences and / or psychological processes, that is, a consequence of any external (environmental) action, situation, or event that places excessive psychological and / or physical demands on a person.
Hans Selye, probably the leading authority on the concept of stress, described stress as "the rate of all wear and tear caused by life.� Alvin Toffler, the author of Future Shock, said "Dr.' Hans Selye knows more about stress than any other scientist alive.
There are many physical sources of stress, such as work overload, irregular work hours, and loss of sleep, loud noises, bright light, and insufficient light. Psychological sources of stress may be due to a particular situation, such as a boring job, inability to socialize, lack of autonomy, responsibility for results without sufficient authority, unrealistic objectives, role ambiguity or role conflict, and dual career marriages. But what might be stressful to one person may be less so to another; people react differently to situations.
Stress can have various effects on the individual as well as on the organization. There are the physiological effects that may be linked to a variety of illnesses. Then there are psychological effects such as burnout or boredom.
Various kinds of behavior, such as drug and alcohol abuse, inordinate food consumption, accidents, or withdrawal from the stressful situation (absenteeism, excessive labor turnover), may be a reaction to stress. Clearly, not only dies the individual suffer, but the organization may also be affected by the turnover or impaired decision making of its managers and non-managers alike.
Individuals and organizations have attempted to deal with stress in various ways. Individuals, for example, may try to reduce stress through better management of their time, healthful nutrition, exercises, career planning, change in jobs, and promotion of psychological health, relaxation, meditation, and prayer. Organizations may provide counseling or recreation facilities or may improve the job design by matching the person with the job.
Fitting the needs of the individual to the demands of the Job:
Managing, then, offers rewards but also involves stress. An individual aspiring to a managerial position should evaluate both the advantages and the disadvantages of managing before pursuing this career. A proper fit between individual needs and the demands of the task will benefit both the individual and the enterprise. Career management will help to achieve this fit.

(Note: Please click on the image in order to see a larger view)
When I open my Google spreadsheet, this is what I see (going across the columns): the date, the planned workout, how I felt before the workout, details of the workout itself, and how I felt/recovered after the workout.
Doing something as simple as organizing my workouts has improved my workouts immensely. Here's why:
I can see how well I've done
When I complete a run, sprint workout, gym workout, etc., I make sure to compare my results to the last time I completed that same workout. For example, after completing a three mile run, I would go back through my log and search for my last 3 mile run. Next to my current time, I would mark whether this time was longer or shorter than my last 3 mile run. If it's shorter, it boosts my confidence, and I can start to judge when I can up my mileage. If it's longer, it kicks my butt into gear, and I can move forward with an adjusted training plan.
I can see what needs to be done
One of my biggest mistakes when I first started working out is I didn't rotate my workouts. For example, I would spend the entire week doing 3 mile runs because I wanted to increase my endurance, and yet I wouldn't see any results. I realized I needed to incorporate sprints, strength training, and cross training into my workouts in order to prevent my body from falling into muscle repetition (doing the same thing over and over) and becoming fatigued. So, I now will rotate between long runs, sprints, and biking. When I go to the gym, I rotate between leg, arm, back, and core workouts. And when I sprint, I rotate between intervals, ladders, and regular sprints. This would be almost impossible to keep track of if I didn't have this spreadsheet handy. I can see what needs to be done next in order to vary my workouts and improve my athleticism.
I can prevent injuries
If you look closely, you can see I injured my IT band. This happened in our first ultimate tournament, when I played almost every single point for 8 games. IT band injuries are also known as "runner's knee," and the most common cause is overuse. After looking up some IT band strengthening exercises, I looked where I could incorporate them into my current workouts. This will hopefully prevent any further injury, and many of my workouts are categorized under "cross training," since I'm aiming to keep it easy (and also because I'm on vacation...). When I begin running and sprinting again, I can mark how my IT band felt during and after my workout in this chart, and this will help me decide whether I should scale back or keep going with my current workout plan. Also, if I notice that one muscle is more sore than usual after a workout, I can keep an eye on that in order to prevent an injury in the future. And should I become injured, I can look back and see where it started in order to help better diagnose the issue (which ultimately should be done by a doctor, I just like to have an idea of what's going on with me).
The share options
This is more why I choose using Google Docs instead of a regular spreadsheet. If you decided to make a workout plan with someone else, you can share your spreadsheet with them, as long as they have a Google account. So, if you and a friend are getting in shape for summer together, the two of you can have the same exact workouts, but keep your information on separate sheets. When I shared this document with someone, it was an extra motivator to complete the workouts because I felt accountable to someone else. Plus, if you're any bit competitive like myself, you're going to be checking your friend's progress and spur yourself to keep up with him/her, or continue doing better ;)
I can't imagine what my workout plan would look like if I didn't keep track of it. It'll improve your workout routine exponentially, and you can see what needs to be done, how far you've come, and how you can help prevent injuries. I have found that this little technique has vastly improved my workouts, and I hope you set up your own!

A Minor Home Repair Triumph
I'm not very handy. I regret this. I have spent most of my life trying to be handy and trying to do various projects--but it just never seems to work out. Whatever skill set makes one handy--dexterity or coordination or whatever--I lack.
So, when I do something with a modicum success, I'm quite excited and like to celebrate. And, I'm inviting you all to celebrate with me.
After years of hosting football games, nerf wars, wrestling matches, and all kinds of other activities equally inappropriate for a small interior space, the corner of our living room wall was seriously problematic. Huge chips had been knocked out of the wall. Sadly, I didn't take a picture before I put the wallboard compound on. But you get a sense of the length of the wound from this photo.
After sanding and sanding and sanding and applying more compound, sanding again, and then painting, I'm happy to say, that my first venture at wall patching turned out okay. It's not the best ever, and I won't be quitting my day job, but it's credible, I think. Here it is after the repainting.

Rediscovering Me
Rediscovering Me –
I can't believe how much I'm looking forward to this either… the 'meals' and drinks… it's like my body is waking back up after a semi-coma slumber. As though I have been moving through sludge… struggling to get out but clueless as to how, and now I've begun the process of climbing out of that pit with a set plan and the proper set of tools to actually do it.

Research has finally caught up to Common Sense!
Apparently the Researchers from The University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom have finally proven that you can't not treat obesity in multiple people with a "one size fits all" mentality.
"With most health conditions, there is variance in a treatment plan based on the unique conditions of one's illness. For example, we know there are 14 types of breast cancer, and each may have a very different course of treatment. But with obesity, it's one size fits all: Eat less. Exercise more. Repeat.
Until now."
The above quote comes from Amy Capetta, from Yahoo! Health. She wrote an article entitled "There Are 6 Types Of Obesity – And Each Should Be Treated Differently" in which the 6 types of Obesity are stated and makes it glaringly apparent how you cannot treat a person from one category the same as you would a person from another.
This has been apparent to me for a very long time. Just seeing the different people in my family that either worked on toning their body, keeping in shape, loosing a little weight, or trying to loose a lot of weight made this idea completely transparent to me. The things that worked for one or more did not work for all.
Eating less and working out more actually caused me to gain more weight, counting calories turned me into a zombie with no energy. Diet pills were not good for me either, the PA at my local clinic was a life saver there. And yet the doctors continued to state the same rhetoric over and over, "Eat less and exercise more". My body chemistry wasn't working with that and it wasn't until I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism that I started to loose weight and keep it off for a few years.
I truly hope that this continues to be a continuous debate within the medical world, as well as the weight-loss world.
Blessings and Warm Wishes to All,
~Ya-ya~ ❤

My 2015 New Year's Resolutions
Recently I was approached by the admin of Beautiful Outlaws about joining a group on Facebook that she had set up. The idea she has for this group is "helping each other succeed in our New Year's resolutions", a group to help eachother stay motivated, and to be the "cheerleaders" for eachother. She asked each of us to introduce ourselves and to state what our goals were for the year. This was not a hard request, but it did make me realize that I hadn't even thought about them. I had no goals for the New Year. Now that I sat and thought about what I should do, all of the choices I had of things to focus on was a little too much. So, I chose to simplify and go with the basics and build from there. Everything needs a strong foundation first, right?
For 2015, I've decided that my goals will be to write more, concentrate more on my health, learn to accept help from others, and to be more open.
Obviously you can see where my priorities lay, or perhaps it's that I've already subconsciously decided which I can achieve and which are most likely not to succeed. Allow me to show why these are my choices.
- Starting with one of the hardest choices of my goals: Be More Open.
Being open about myself has never truly been easy. I've always said that I am an open book, and to an extent that is true, but I've never been truly open about my thoughts and feelings with others, unless they were in my "inner-circle". So it is my intention this year to work on that openness.
I've also chose to work on being more open in concerns of communication. I can communicate rather well, but I do not always do so. It is hard for me to just call someone out of the blue to just talk, writing a letter "just because" (I was a horrible pen-pal), or instigating a random conversation online. The odd thing about this, however, is that I can strike up a conversation with anyone in person, dropping by someone's house out of the blue just to visit is not hard, but when it comes to doing so behind a paper & pen, phone call, or computer screen it's another story. Therefore, it is my intention to work on this type of openness as well.
- Next would be: Accepting Help from Others
I am not very good at accepting help from people, nor asking for it. Even when I am at my wits end and breaking apart, I have an issue with reaching out to ask for help. I've gotten a little better at it since losing my mother last year, and for a little before then because of needing help with my kids while I took care of her, but it is still enormously hard for me to do this. If I am to lessen the stress in my life, I must learn how to do this. Therefore, it is a continuing goal that I am working on.
- Concentrate More On My Health
As a couple of you may know, I have very poor health. I have a couple genetic health issues, as well as others that I was diagnosed with at 16, that I am dealing with. I have a genetic disposition to blood clots (they are not fun, nor is the hospital stays), clinical depression (something I've dealt with for a long time but is only a recent diagnosis), anemia (low iron), and hypothyroidism. I've decided that if I am going to start feeling better, being sick less, and have any possibility of losing weight then I have to start doing my own research and figuring out what works best for me. I need to figure out what foods work best for me, what ones I can eat a lot of or need to eat less of, and what ones I need to keep an eye on. There are certain foods I cannot eat because of medication interactions, inhibiting thyroid function, and can raise the possibility of clots. I also have a hard time absorbing iron so I have to be aware of foods that can help with that.
I need to keep a record of how different anti-depressants make me feel and keep a record of how I feel (emotionally, highs or lows, anxiety levels, ex….) and why. I need to make and keep as many appointments (blood-work and such) as I can.
I need to pay more attention to meditation, and "me time" instead of allowing them to fall to the side. I need to begin Pilates again, regularly. I need to concern myself only with those whom care about and love me, not those that wish to harm me.
All of these things will help me to become a healthier person, inward and out.
- And finally: Write More
Oh the many things I wish to write this year. The many things I wish to do with my writing.
I wish to complete my manuscript for the book I'm working on. I wish to post to each of my blogs at least once a week.
It is my desire to entertain and help with my writings. To give people a place to come for help without judgment, to tickle someone's sense of frivolity, to allow for a place where someone may learn something new or open their eyes to another idea which would allow them to look for their own answers. There is so much and so little that can be done with writing, and I wish to tap into, and use, that endless possibility this year.
These are my goals for the year and I will endeavor to work on each of them. I may not complete any of them, because I do not believe that any of them could truly be completed except the manuscript, but by working on all of them I will become a better person.
Have a wonderful week my lovelies and a wonderful New Year.
Blessings & Warm Wishes,
YaYa 😉

Musings From An Upset Mind
Now… lately there seems to be a string of childish behavior. An epidemic really, and I'd like to address it.
I can't voice any one else's opinion on this subject, as I don't know it, but I can voice mine and so far all I can come up with is – Some people need to grow the *insert any word of choice here* up!!!!
We are adults, childish behavior needs to be left behind with the childhood, or in some cases "teen", years and if you still feel the need to act like an adolescent then feel free to put on a diaper and grab a bottle. Childish behavior helps no-one and gains you absolutely no sympathizers, although in some cases as people tend to lie quiet well they do have some.
How I wish the truth could be voiced to them but what good would it do? We must wait on Karma, as people will always "reap what they sow"in the end.
Now, this type of behavior does, howsoever, in most cases gain you the title of "Self-Centered B****", be you male or female. It gains you the ability to look like someone who hasn't learned that the world doesn't revolve around you, and is able to isolate you into a place that no-one wants to be.
I'm tired of the "Poor, Poor Pity Me" trip and people who tell lies to gain whatever gram of sympathy they can from people who truly just want to love you for you and be there as family, friends, to just be together.
I guess that's all I have to say on this now other than, No-one is a pawn to be used by another. We are all individuals who create our own happiness and are entitled to that happiness as well as keeping that freewill that allows us to keep those who wish to bring us down out of our lives.
The flip-side of this is that when those who have wronged us may or may not be able to enter our lives without a door being there for them to use.
So when/if we tell those who continually bring us headaches to take a hike because we don't need, nor desire the stress they induce upon our lives, we should also allow them the door to enter our lives again. We can accept the apology, or just accept that they have changed, until evidence contrary to this presents it's self. And hopefully those who are family will realize we love them and want them as a member of our lives, but we hold the right to be individuals without requiring their permission to be who we are. We also hold the right to kick them out again should they begin the same BS again. Unlike a child… an "Adult" doesn't require more than one chance, and is old enough to know that a true apology means they WON'T repeat the behavior and will do all that is necessary to prevent a repeat performance.
These are my thoughts and now that it is off my chest I feel slightly better. I hope this little rant of mine can help another but if not, It does help me.
Warmest Wishes and Wonderful Thoughts to you,
P.S. Do not let the "Emotional Vampires" of the world "suck the life" out of your day. Be strong, and continue being positive.
Who are You?
As the image states above… "The most creative Act You will ever undertake is the Act of Creating Yourself" .
So what does that mean? To me it says that we all create ourselves into the people we either want to be or think we should be, and sometimes into who we believe others think/want us to be; but in the end, We are the ones that make the choices.
So how important is it to our creation of self that our perception of ourselves is untainted/not influenced by our peers? To me it is very important to the process. For better or worse we create ourselves according to what we have been taught is proper and valued.
Our views and values of the world and self, including how and when we start our life with another person is created by our peers. For better or for worse we are the creation of others and very rarely do we have the ability and courage to re-create ourselves into someone who we truly love and want to be. An unfortunate thing since the world's perception of ourselves shouldn't matter but the perception of those we love and cherish, including yourself, should be whom we wish to make happy.
The only person we should ever change for is ourselves, and as long as we have an excellent network of friends and family to support us we become that beautiful butterfly that is our creative soul bursting free of the shackles that society has put upon us. Yes, we do make the choice at first to allow the shackles to be put on because we believe that it is how we are supposed to live. We then, at a later date when we are teens or adults, either make the choice to keep these restraints or to shuck them off and create our own sense of self with our own value systems, be they right or wrong by our peers standards we grew up with.
There are also the people whom, after marriage and either before, during or after children, realizes that they have wish to change whom society and peers say they are and re-create themselves into whom they truly are. Sometimes this is a true change, and sometimes this is just realizing that they don't wish to be shackled to the same old same old but wish to be the creative soul that has bounced around until caught in a cage and hidden away because it just wasn't proper anymore.
I'm not speaking of an evil or hurtful change or of someone leaving their children and just running off because of this self-realization, I'm speaking of just letting that tiny little voice that you've told to be quiet speak up and allow yourself to be the artist within. Allow yourself to put on a cute little crazy hat and go for a walk in the rain because YOU love it and want to. Allow yourself that simple pleasure that you've been told to avoid because it just isn't proper and right. Be Yourself, not the Stepford-drone.
In the end, the butterfly or the caterpillar, is our choice of self and our choice of who we want to be, and right now I believe that there are a lot of people whom are in the metamorphic stages of creating themselves anew. I hope that someday soon all will be their own butterfly and we all will spread our wings to fly on wings of choice and creativity.
Lots of love and Hoping this helps someone,
Ya-Ya 🙂
15 Ways Build Your Confidence or, in my case,15 Things to change to be called a B**ch
A friend of mine shared this picture with me and I read it thinking… yes I've done this and I did that and I'm working on those. Then I thought about it and realized, I've done all of those and the biggest one I've done is to start putting my own needs before my own instead of always putting others first, and for my effort I was labelled a "Selfish Bitch".
All the other times when I've bent over backwards for other people and put their issues before my own is forgotten in that one instant when I evaluated the two and decided that what I had to do for myself was more important than another person's issue. How, you may ask, is this possible? Well I've come to the conclusion, after a few times of this happening, that people, by definition, are selfish.
Now I truly believe that you should help your neighbor and love your neighbor as you do yourself because, honestly, it makes YOU the better person, and if they hate you for it then so be it because they are hating you for being a positive being and that's OK with me. (I have massive issues with that one because there are some people who just rube you the wrong way lol)
But let's get back to the 15 things listed above and break it down one by one into practicality and why you should give it up, or something like that.
- Doubting Yourself…. That's a biggy there. Self Doubt is the most destructive of all of these because it leads to almost all of them happening. Doubting yourself leads to doubting whether you should or shouldn't do something and you usually end up saying you shouldn't even try to do it because you can't. Come on… The first step is to TRY IT and remember " Every Professional was once the Amateur Beginner".
- Negative Thinking ….. This is a hard one. Thinking in and of its self is both positive and negative. We have to think in both terms if we are to come to the best conclusive outcome in any given situation. The point being made here howsoever is that we must stop the type of negative thinking that says "That will never work", "That's a horrible idea, why are you even considering that" and so and so forth. This is the type of Negative Thinking that stops you before you even begin and is truly the downfall of many people who have the brilliance to succeed.
- Fear of Failure …. Another biggy here. The Fear of Failure is ingrained in all of us do to being taught that we must "fit in". A small child does not fear failure, they are taught to fear it. To a child the world is their play toy and every thing is possible, from the Monster under the bed to Santa Claus. Moms and Dads the world over are heroes at bed time because they CAN slay the monsters and if you truly believe you CAN fly. When they grow up they CAN be ANYTHING they want to be, so why do we teach them to be afraid of failing? Why do we, ourselves, have to be ok with failing? We don't and we shouldn't count ourselves out before even beginning but we can be ok with the failed attempt, should it even happen. Remember – You can never win, if at first you don't try.
- Destructive Relationships ….. Now this is one that seems to be in the running for the WORST decisions made lately. How can any one ever hope to have a healthy, long-lasting relationship if we continually keep making the wrong choices? I know that I'm just as guilty as the next person because, let's face it, if you already know it's going to fail then you aren't as hurt when it happens and you've already built up that defensive wall to safe-guard your heart right? WRONG!!!! You can build up that wall and you can consciously and sub-consciously make that choice, that horrible horrible choice, to date the same destructive types and be in the same destructive relationships over and over and over again but you can NEVER safe-guard that heart from becoming invested and in turn ruining yourself to the possibility of something good and someone who can truly be the best for you. Trust me on this, I know.Now there is the flip side to this and that is STAYING in a Destructive Relationship, I.E. the abusive type. You can enter a wonderful, truly magnificent relationship and truly, whole-heartily be in love with this person that you have every intention of spending the rest of your life with. You have the cliché white picket fence and 2.5 kids and the whole she-bang but something happened along the way to this quiet little blissful dream becoming fulfilled and you and/or your children (should you have them) are now the recipients of mental, emotional, physical or other types of abuse and that my dears is a very DESTRUCTIVE Relationship. Should you decide to stay in such a type of relationship I do hope you take into consideration the damage that can and will be inflicted upon your young, innocent, impressionable children. They are, after all, YOUR responsibility, and if you do happen to want my advice, it is this: Get out while the gettin' is good, and It's never to late.
- Gossiping …. To my way of thinking, There is nothing worse than a "Gossip". I absolutely abhor gossiping because it tends to do nothing but destroy people's lives. Not just the person whom is being gossiped about but the person doing the gossiping. To many people have things said about them or done to them because of someone deciding they were bored and wanted to see just what would happen if this and this was said. OR, someone misunderstood what was being said (ever play that old game 'telephone'? How often did the end resemble the beginning?) and spread a vicious or ludicrous lie, which in turn ruined someone's self-esteem and person. So basically… You shouldn't gossip.
- Criticizing Yourself and Others …. Ok so we all know and have heard that our own worst critic is our-self? Well that has to change, somewhat, because if you are always horrible to yourself your going to start believing it. Give yourself a hand now and then as well as an 'Atta-Boy' because while critiquing yourself is a good thing complimenting yourself is even better when it's a job well done.As for criticizing others : Ever heard of Murphy's Law? I think that pretty much says it all
- Anger …. Some say there is Righteous Anger and that that is ok.. Others say there is nothing good about anger as it is self-destructive being that there was never a good outcome from a decision made in anger. I think that in some cases anger can fuel you to do incredible things that you would have never been able to do and those things might be good. Howsoever, the end result is pretty much always bad so cooling off before doing anything is always a good idea. Give yourself a "time out" before acting 😉 That's my rule of thumb.
- Comfort Eating …. Never has a woman known better than the end result of this. Every woman, teenage girl and child knows what comfort eating is and the effects it has upon our psyche and our bodies. I'm sure there are men who do this as well because it's not possible for only one side of the sexes to have the sole hold of this department and I do hope that they too are able to see and understand the destructiveness of this continued behavior. Therefore, I believe, I don't need to say any more on the topic other than to please, find a better outlet. Pick up a notebook and pen/pencil set from the local dollar store and write it out, take a walk, go find a "quiet spot" all your own, take up some sort of hobby you can pour your soul into and let that be your healing.
- Laziness …. Every person who has ever been a child knows that this is bad. There is a time and a place for everything so make sure that being lazy isn't your constant but your occasional.
- Negative Self Talk …. Again… the same as #1 … they kinda go hand in hand. You have to be positive with your self because sometimes all you have in your cheering section for you to succeed is YOURSELF.
- Procrastination …. umm….. umm…. Yea… I'm seriously bad with this and while I know it's a bad thing I've done excellent with it myself in school work and whatnot so I'm not truly objectionable enough to tell you why it's bad. I can tell you that if you procrastinate your life away and never take that step forward that opportunity will pass you by and you'll be left behind so it IS important that you not procrastinate in everything but an occasional procrastination I am sure is ok.. maybe not lol Like I said.. I'm not the best example to follow on this one.
- Fear of Success …. There are people who have this fear and it is a legitimate fear and best dealt with by speaking to a trained professional. The first step though is realizing that you DO have this fear and WANTING to seek help with/for it.
- Anything Excessive …. Well I think that pretty much sums it up. Yes, women do tend to have a lot of shoes… when you have so many you require your own closet for just shoes that would be excessive… get rid of some of them. Yes, men tend to put a lot into the vehicle they love… when the vehicle gets more attention, money spent on it, love from you then your family, children, wife, gf, bf does… that would be excessive… do something about it. Everything in moderation, please.
- People Pleasing …. hmmm I am a people pleaser, I know this and I try to work on it. First step to doing so is realizing that in being a people pleaser your denying half of yourself it's rightful joy in life by sacrificing yourself for the enjoyment and pleasure of other people. There are many examples I could give here but I think you can come up with a few. The joy of another should not harm you. The pleasure/enjoyment of a group should not cause you harm.And last but not least ….
- Putting Others Needs BEFORE Your OWN …. Didn't I start out this little article with WHY this is a bad thing and WHEN it's ok and whatnot? But, I'll re-iterate, You should NEVER put someone-else's needs before your own when it causes heartache or injury to yourself or those you love. When it goes against your moral convictions You should not put their needs above your own. When You are constantly bending over backwards to give others what they want and denying yourself your own needs and wishes then you are people pleasing and putting others needs before your own and those are two things that you should not do as it denies your "Id" and that can lead to massive problems.
In short … We all know what is negative and bad behavior and it's time we took account of our own actions and put some positive back into our lives. This change is best made when we start with ourselves and how we view ourselves and treat ourselves. Be Positive and see just what a world of difference it makes within you, even if you only do it for a day.
I challenge everyone who reads this post/article/blog to try and stop doing these 15 negative things for 1 day… then 1 week .. see what a happier and healthier you it creates within you and travels to others.
Take care and Blessings,
Ya-Ya 😉
{Referencing the "Id" – According to Sigmund Freud, there are three parts to someones personality. The Id, the Ego and the Superego. The Id deals with our primitive drives. Its goals are the seeking of pleasure and the avoidance of pain. The Ego knows what things are real and that behaviors have consequences. The Superego represents our morals and sense of right and wrong.}

With all of the changes at The Country Village, we'd like to update you on our plans for Doll House Baked Goods. Thank you all for your continued support, we appreciate your thoughts and kind words as we go through these changes.
How long will you be open at The Country Village?
Our shop will remain open throughout most of April 2019, at the Country Village. We will keep our current business hours, 10am to 6pm Wednesday through Saturday, and 11am to 5pm on Sunday. The shop is closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
Are you moving to a new location?
As of this writing we do NOT have a new location. However, we have a backup plan that will allow us to continue baking for our upcoming 2019 Farmer's Markets. This means that after we close our shop in April, we will be without a storefront.
We are continuing our search for a new shop, and are confident that we will find a new home for Doll House Baked Goods. Of course we will post an update once we find a reasonable location.
Where can we find you after April?
Look for us at the Lake Forest Park Farmer's Market, which opens May 12th, Sunday 10am to 3pm.
We will also be at the Edmonds Farmer's Market, Saturdays from 9am to 2pm.
Edmonds Farmer's Market will be a new event for us, although we will not have our pies at this market.

Newark International Film Festival Officially Open for Its Second Year
Newark, NJ – Newark is no stranger to the world of blockbuster film, stellar entertainment and vibrant culture. September of 2016 saw an inspiring culmination of all three during the premiere of the inaugural Newark International Film Festival and it did not disappoint.
An ambitious endeavor birthed in the mind of its founder Kenneth Gifford, the festival consists of three main components – screenings, celebrity driven panels and Q&A's and interactive workshops and exhibitions for filmmakers, industry insiders and spectators alike. Mr. Gifford voiced his gratitude for the first year along with his hopes for year two.
"Our goal for the festival mirrors our mission – we want to revolutionize the film experience for film lovers and we wanted to do it in Newark. Last years' experience rivaled our expectations and the bar is even higher for our second year. We were truly humbled by the participation and spirit of collaboration in the city and are really looking forward to even more dynamic partnerships this year."
A standout in its first lap to the festival circuit, the NEWARKIFF's unique approach to catering to its filmmakers and festival goers has already made it a darling amongst festival elitists and film insiders around the world.
"We screened our film Ekaj at the 2016 NewarkIFF and we have to say that they really went out of their way for their inaugural event this year…" Cati and Mike Gonzalez, Filmmakers.
This year promises to be an even more illustrious and immersive event with the founding team working harder with an earlier start. January 12th saw the official opening of submissions for the film festival and they are already representative of two countries. Newly minted Executive Director Leslie Peters says the excitement for the festival's second year is palpable.
"I am excited that the NIFF will be celebrating its second year in the City of Newark, New Jersey in September 2017! It is with sincere and humble honor that I have accepted the role of Executive Director and I endeavor to continue to introduce to the world the finer talents, history, and cultivation the people of the city possess."
The Newark International Film Festival saw over 800 submissions from 70 countries in 2016. Between target marketing and strategic metrics, the staff is confident a groundswell will happen early and be consistent leading up to their early admissions date.
The Newark International Film Festival will hold an official press conference in conjunction with the city of Newark and Mayor Ras Baraka at Newark City Hall to officially kick off this year's festival on January 26th at 1:30 PM. A reception will follow at Taste Venue from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. All are welcome to attend both events.

I was completely inspired and motivated by Caper Mom and her post about purging and cleaning out the clutter.
I am ready to take this journey to simplicity and getting rid of the clutter. I went so far as call the local trash service and ordered a large dumpster. So, I came home to a large container for my purging to begin.
I am so excited to begin this process. This weekend for me will be full of simplifying my life and getting rid of things that no longer bring me joy. I'm ready for a complete overhaul of things that I are in my home.
Trust me. My work is cut out for me. I'll be exhausted when I'm done.

How to Market to Middle-Class Consumers
This story appears in the December 2006 issue of Entrepreneur. Subscribe »
Ultra-luxe companies like Coach and LVMH Moét Hennessy Louis Vuitton are reporting strong 2006 sales. But in the mass-market luxury arena, disappointing earnings from upscale companies like Chinese eatery P.F. Chang's China Bistro and natural grocer Whole Foods may indicate that middle-class consumers who have been trading up are starting to trade down to more affordable purchases. "Consumers in general are becoming more cautious with their everyday spending," says Ken Goldstein, an economist with The Conference Board, a business research and membership organization.
So if you're a retailer targeting middle class shoppers, how can you preserve sales? Retail expert George Whalin, author of Retail Success: Increase Sales, Maximize Profits and Wow Your Customers in the Most Competitive Marketplace in History, says not to fret--there's still growth within the retail sector. As middle-class consumers cut back, Whalin advises you to:
- Get information. Capture everything from names and e-mail addresses to customer preferences, and use technology to house and apply this information. Whalin says this is where some bigger retailers fall down, and the personal touch of sending a communication that relates to your customers' preferences can preserve and increase sales.
- Host special events. Events can generate traffic, but think new and exciting, says Whalin. Local or national celebrity appearances, book signings or visits from designers or artists give busy customers a can't miss incentive to visit your location.
- Avoid downscaling. Offering less expensive goods can backfire. "You don't want to offer cheaper goods that make people think 'junk,'" warns Whalin. "Stay true to yourself and work harder to get the kinds of customers who want what you offer."

Order Altitude Sickness Treatment Online
What is Altitude Sickness?
Altitude sickness, also known as acute mountain sickness (AMS), is a term used to describe the effect that being at high altitude has on the body. The effect it has on the central nervous system is a form of high altitude cerebral edema (HACE). It usually presents at altitudes above 2,400m (approximately 8,000 feet) and many climbers will experience mild symptoms above 3,000m (at nearly 10,000 feet). This can include headaches, dizziness and shortness of breath.
The height you climb to is often not as important as the speed at which you ascended to that altitude. AMS can be more common in fit younger individuals because they are more likely to attempt a rapid ascent. The way to reduce the risk is to acclimatise and be prepared to descend.
All services provided by Anytime Doctor are safe, fast and confidential. You can obtain treatment within the privacy of your home and without the inconvenience of waiting for an appointment.Read more

Treatment Options
Diamox (acetazolamide)
Medicines at a glance
|Diamox (acetazolamide)
Diamox increases the amount of urine produced and changes the acidity of the blood. This results in improved breathing and reduces fluid around the brain and in the lungs.
It is used for the treatment of mild early acute mountain sickness (headache, fatigue, light headedness, difficulty with sleep) to resolve symptoms, before a planned ascent can be resumed. It can also be used where rapid ascent without proper acclimatisation cannot be avoided and should be continued for 2-3 days after the final altitude is reached.
Can also be used to ease disturbed breathing patterns during sleep and can be continued until descending to an altitude where sleep is no longer a problem.
Note: Acetazolamide is not a sedative

In a continuation from our Skinny vs. Chunky heel debate, we turn our attention to handbags preferences. There are those of us who only feel content when our monster bags are able to double as sleeping bags, and others who prefer to tote around dainty purses that only fit the essentials. It seems that these two breeds of ladies are a mutually exclusive sort; Ask a hoarder to whittle down or a minimalist to bulk up, and you're willing to open yourself up to an endless stream of complaints and excuses. But we want to know about you—are you ladylike when it comes to your purses, or are you more bag-lady-like? Weigh in, below!

Here's the progress on the new blanket I started yesterday. I've had a good nights sleep and I'm not feeling as flat out as yesterday, the stitching has made me feel better! I've never begun a blanket with a rib, now that I've done one I think I've got the building blocks for crocheting a jumper. They'll be no jumper for a fair while mind, this is going to take far longer than I thought – I'd forgotten, while easier, stripes have more stitches than granny squares.
I'm following this pattern – I absolutely love the stitch definition that's working up. I've never used herringbone stitch (the dark grey) before but it looks great and the texture of the row in light grey is really effective. I'm just 26 rows into a 126 row blanket though so I better keep at it if I want to get this done by the end of the week. I'll hopefully make far more progress tomorrow and will be posting on here instead of instagram while I have my week off social. Honestly, I love sharing photos and looking at everyone else's but it's so much less 'noisy' the weeks that I don't engage on there and I get so much more done.

I visited Wat Sanghathan in Nonthaburi for a tour and conversation with Phra Frank Gavesako while in Bangkok. Since 1979 the abbot of Wat Sanghathan, Luang Por Sanong Katapunyo, and student of meditation master, Venerable Acharn Sangwahn Khemmako, revived this abandoned temple outside of Bangkok. Now it is thriving with many mae chiis and lay people participating in the rigorous meditation schedule. There are few foreigners who come here but for those who do, they will receive an interesting experience in Thai Buddhism and instruction from Phra Frank..
