I’ve seen more articles recently about people selling gold for gas cash. Old rings, old fillings and other jewelry have been sold to raise cash to help make ends meet.

7-year-old Steals Grandma’s SUV and bashes Mailboxes and hits cars in Palm Beach Florida firday. The kid smashed mailboxes and hit parked cars as he made the 8-minute trip! He was unhurt and drove the SUV till the right front wheel came off after hitting a sign!It was unusual for the Childs behavior and he may not be prosecuted. Right now he does face grand theft auto charges! I wouldn’t be surprised to see much more of these crazy kid cruisers hitting the streets stealing maw maws ride. People are becoming bolder and acting more and more at younger ages, we have a strange future coming!
Back in the day, when my grandparents were growing up no one had money to waste. My grandparents came from big families. Every penny was a crucial. For dinner, they served pasta most of the time and if you were given meat, chicken, or steak for dinner that was considered a luxury.

I think we are wearing Grandma Diana out. In between the massive amount of dishes we dirty and the multiple dirty diapers from The Cuteness, she's getting a little tired. And let's not forget the endless requests from her husband back in Laredo for her to look up W W Dots (websites).
I think she's getting a little taste of what we go through when she calls for Grandpa Charles. He's a little
After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin. Finally, she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, putting them back to bed with stern warnings. As she left the room, she heard the three-year-old say with a trembling voice, "Who was THAT?"

White wicker patio furniture has been around for a long time. In the United States you could see white wicker furniture on farmhouse porches and grand plantations. Basically this was natural wicker that was painted in order to give it the clean, classy look that only white wicker can provide.

A 6 year old kid was asked where his Grandma lived."Oh," he said,"She lives at the Airport and when we want we just go get her. Then when we are done having her visit, we take her back to the Airport."
Last night my beautiful, beautiful, beautiful grandmother passed away.
I don’t know how to say how much I’ll miss her. She was a force in my life that was grounding and true. She loved me fiercely.
I know my Grandpa will miss her beyond words (they just celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary) and my parents and all [...]
It's been one rough week for one presidential candidate.Sen. Barack Obama made some interesting comments yesterday on WIP in Philly about his grandmother being a "typical white person" who crosses the street when she sees a black person coming toward her. The New York Daily News has a story explaining the entire situation.Obama's campaign is now backpedaling from the comments, claiming Obama misstated his message.Press the right arrow/play button to hear the entire interview.
While some like this blogs focuses on this Shelby Steele article:
Mr. Obama’s broad appeal to whites makes him the first plausible black presidential candidate in American history. And it was Mr. Obama’s genius to understand this. Though he likes to claim that his race was a liability to be overcome, he also surely knew that his race [...]

When you have a senior parent, the concern for their ability to maintain their lifestyle can be a significant worry. Almost without exception, senior citizens resist the idea of moving out of their house and into an assisted living facility or nursing home. You as a child of a senior citizen may see issues of safety if your aging parent continues to live independently. If their spouse has passed on, there may be issues of loneliness and depression. Hallways and doors of old homes are often not built to accommodate walkers or wheelchairs. And the vision of your children's Grandma or Grandpa falling and being unable to reach you for help is frightening. And then there is the financial side of maintaining their home and paying the mortgage if it is still active.So the question is whether you
The family wheeled Grandma out on the lawn, in her wheelchair, where the activities for her 100th birthday were taking place.Grandma couldn't speak very well, but she could write notes when she needed to communicate.After a short time out on the lawn, Grandma started leaning off to the right, so some family members grabbed her, straightened her up andStuffed pillows on her right.A short time later, she started leaning off to her left, so again the family grabbed her and stuffed pillows on her left.Soon she started leaning forward, so the family members again grabbed her and tied a pillowcase around her waist to hold her up.A grandson, who arrived late, came up to Grandma and said, "Hi, Grandma; you're looking good! How are they treating you?"Grandma took out her little notepad and slowly w
Lawyers should never ask a Mississippi grandma a question if they aren't prepared for the answer. In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know me?' She responded, 'Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you'll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.'The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know the def
As more baby boomers retire there are going to be some parents that are not going to be in the position of just being able to make it. Starting late with 401k's, higher then expected health costs and frankly, longer life will add to this phenomenon. This is the flip side of the coin of kids waiting longer to leave. We may end up living with our parents, between homes over half out life! Don't get me wrong, I love my Mom and Mother-in-law, but I could end up with both!Personally this is not a burden I want to put on my children.

An elderly woman walked into the Bank of Canada one morning with a purse full of money. She wanted to open a savings account and insisted on talking to the president of the Bank because, she said, she had a lot of money.After many lengthy discussions (after all, the client is always right) an employee took the elderly woman to the president's office.The president of the Bank asked her how much she wanted to deposit. She placed her purse on his desk and replied, '$165,000'. The president was curious and asked her how she had been able to save so much money. The elderly woman replied that she made bets.The president was surprised and asked, 'What kind of bets?'The elderly woman replied, 'Well, I bet you $25,000 that your testicles are square.'The president started to laugh and told the woman
My submission for this week's Works For Me Wednesday is the Best Homemade Bread Recipe ever! And, as a bonus, it's SUPER easy to make. My Grandma used this recipe and technique to teach me how to make bread, and she makes bread just about everyday and has for years and years. I'm sure she found this recipe somewhere a long time ago, but I have no idea where so I can't give credit to its author.

There was a virgin that was going out on a date for the first time and she told her grandmother about it.Her grandmother says, "Sit here and let me tell you about those young boys. He is going to try to kiss you; you are going to like that, but don't let him do that."She continued, "He is going to try to feel your breast; you are going to like that, but don't let him do that. He is going to try to put his hand between your legs; you are going to like that, but don't let him do that.Then the grandmother said, "But, most importantly, he is going to try to get on top of you and have his way with you. You are going to like that, but don't let him do that. It will disgrace the family."With that bit of advice in mind, the granddaughter went on her date and could not wait to tell her grandmother

Although there are some other things I want to post about, I thought it only fair to wrap up the whole Grandma Diana saga with a proper goodbye.
We all took her 30 miles away to the Conoco gas station that serves for the Greyhound Bus stop. She demanded, as she always does, that we take her early and drop her off. She doesn't mind waiting inside. Can you believe that? She's a little loco at
If you are not the Grandma of my kids, you may go on your merry way because I am just using my blog as my refrigerator door for those who live 1,700 miles away. Mom, if you were here, you would have this crammed in your face only minutes after your arrival. Of course, if you are not my Mom you can go ahead and read on anyways, as long as you can stand a wee bit of motherly pride. I love poetry. I like reading it and I like writing it when I am so inspired. Yesterday the boys and I sat down and read a selection from The New Oxford Book of Children's Verse. First, let me say that I had completely forgotten that The Highway Man included a suicide. Oops. Didn't remember that at all. But I think the excitement of the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere maybe made up, in the minds of my children, for the nameless dead guy on the highway who made the very unfortunate wardrobe choice of lace at his throat. I hope so anyways. I think we'll save anymore of Alfred Noyes for Jr. High Lit. (
My Great Grandma and my Grandma H. both love jello salads. My FIL seems to as well. I can't say I share this affinity. I like jello but only if it's sugar free and naked. LOL.

For all you jello and pineapple lovers, this one is for
I got my first early Christmas present yesterday courtesy of my lovely Grandma. She has a tendency to secretly spoil me, which is why she gave me one of my presents now instead of on Christmas--so none of the other grandkids would get mad. My Grandma and I have always had the exact same taste when it comes to fashion, that's why I wasn't suprised when she gave me this Sigrid Olsen "Venice" Soft Hobo Bag in black. It's a roomy hobo with the softest leather exterior that I have ever felt! The bag might be a little on the expensive side at $188, but it will definitely last me for many years.

Times have been interesting lemme tell ya! Let me do a short recap here ...Monday, November 5, 2007- My Grandma passed away.Tuesday, November 6, 2007- We drove to Kentucky.Wednesday, November 7, 2007- Visited with family and friends.Thursday, November 8, 2007- ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE!!! (I was nearly shot)So I figure that's a really good place to start. Just keep in mind that my Mom married a man with four kids that hate us and we hate them because they hate us; my stepdad is alright though. His kids are just horrible and they treat him horribly too. Anyway ...Thursday, November the 8th-On thursday I was at Mom's house sitting at the kitchen table ironing Caleb's shirt so that we could go to the funeral home. Mom, Amanda (my stepsister) and I were talking when my stepsister says that her brother (Jay) and his wife (Susan) are going to meet us at the funeral home.If our family was normal, that would be okay ... but I can't stand Susan!The Step-Sister-In-Law-SUSANI can't stand Susan b

Just in case you're not sure what the heck a FACK is, let me clue you in.
Grandma Diana doesn't have a computer. The internet is a wonder to her. One of the first things she asked me about the internet was, "Where is the place you would go to learn how to make a bomb?"
A valid question. And I shocked her socks off when I googled that phrase 'how to make a bomb' and 22 million hits came up. I
A 5 yr old boy went to visit his grandmother one day. While playing with his toys in her bedroom while Grandma was dusting, he looked up and said, Grandma, how come you dont have a boyfriend?Grandma replied, Honey, my TV is my boyfriend. I can sit in my bedroom and watch it all day long. The TV evangelists keep me company and make me feel so good. The comedies make me laugh. I™m really happy with the TV as my boyfriend. Grandma turned on the TV and the reception was terrible. She started adjusting the knobs, trying to get the picture in focus. Frustrated, she finally started hitting the backside of the TV, hoping to fix the problem.The little boy heard the doorbell ring, so he hurried to open the door, and there stood a man.The man said, Hello, son, is your grandma home?The little boy replied, Yeah, but she is in the bedroom banging her boyfriend.Grandma's minister fainted.
I think I'd written about this before, but for some reason I was reminded of it again. Maybe it's because Thanksgiving is coming up and I got thinking about family. I'm not sure.If there's one thing I'll ever truly regret in my life, it's that I didn't go to my great grandma's birthday party last fall. I don't remember why I didn't go. I think I had to work, or something else was going on. Anyway, that would've been my last chance to see her before she died. Sure, she was like 96 years old so it was about that time, but I still regret it. Not everyone is as lucky as I was to know their great grandmother.What always tears me up, though, is thinking about that letter I sent her while I was in Japan. I remember my mom had told me she had fallen ill, so I wrote her a letter to cheer her up. When she had to go into the nursing home near the end of her life, that letter was one of the few things she brought with her. After she died, it was given back to me. I have it in my room ba

On a previous entry here I wrote about how to get your Christmas Cactus to flower and on my other blog I wrote an entry on rooting Christmas Cactus cuttings. In the first entry here I alluded to something being fishy in regards to calling my plants "Christmas Cacti." Most of the plants sold today as "Christmas Cactus" are actually not the true Christmas cactus. These are not your grandma's Christmas cactus.The Schlumbergera truncata cultivars being sold today as "Christmas Cactus" are actually the plant commonly referred to as "Thanksgiving Cactus." The real Christmas cactus is Schlumbergera x. buckleyi and is a cross between S. russelliana and S. truncata. The plant was produced by William Buckley at the Rollisson Nurseries in England.Why are two different plants going by the same common name?The reason that Schlumbergera truncata is going by "Christmas Cactus" today instead of "Thanksgiving Cactus" is because of money. Professional plant growers can get Schlumbergera truncata to flo
By: Duane ShinnWe lived almost exactly one mile from the heart of Auburn California on Palm Avenue between the old Highway 49 and the new, broader Highway 49; the highway that connects Auburn with Grass Valley, both towns formed during the Gold Rush of 1849. The city limit line ran right down the center of Palm Avenue, so we lived just a few feet inside the "city"; really a town of about 3000. Palm tress, unusual in Auburn, used to line our road, but through the years some fell, some were cut down by progress, and now they were scattered; one here, then a quarter mile, then a cluster of a half-dozen, then more for a space. As a small child I used to imagine that Palm trees were giant one-legged ostriches, now petrified, like ancient prehistoric birds.The house I grew up in was built the year before I was born for thirty five hundred dollars. It sat on the northeast corner of my Grandfather Eisleys' property, a ten acre segment now occupied mostly by my Uncle Henry's nursery, aptly na

Here's an idea that is truly smart and practical in a home pressed for space. Grandma's Kitchen is a fully functional kitchen area that folds into the wall to look like a minimalist piece of art.For the contemporary home that needs to make the best use of space, Grandma's Kitchen is a great way to get everything you need when you need it from a kitchen while still being able to maximize area with larger crowds. The kitchen changes by a number of touch mechanisms that complete the transformation from picture to dining space quickly and easily.read more | digg storykitchen and bath blog free tips Pune real estate kitchen design kitchen tables kitchen cabinets
We’re back home from Maui and despite all the drama surrounding Grandma’s passing (long story) it was a really nice service. Everybody tried to put their differences aside for one day and come together as a family.
We even stopped by Grandma’s old house where I spent many summers growing up. It’s been sold 3 different times over the years but it will always be Grandma’s house to me.
Thank you again for all your thoughts and prayers. I really appreciate your kindness.

My Grandmother passed away Sunday evening. She was 95 years old.
I keep writing and re-writing this post but the bottom line is . . . I wish I had spent more time with her. I wish I would have made more of an effort to see her, to have my kids get to know her better, but daily life just got in the way. And now it’s too late.
Why is it that it takes something tragic to happen before we realize what we should have been doing all along?
Whatever you’re doing right now, stop and take a moment to appreciate your loved ones. Call someone you’ve been meaning to. Give your children and spouses a hug. Tell someone you love them. Make the most of every day.
A hui hou Grandma.
My Grandma K is home resting today from a car accident yesterday.For those of you who know her, you know that she does nothing slow or without gusto. She was on her way to mail her triplet great-grandbabies' birthday cards and didn't negotiate a stop sign in her favor. (Is that a polite enough way to say that she ran a stop sign?) Actually, she doesn't remember if she stopped and didn't see the oncoming car that hit her or if she rolled through without stopping.Regardless of what happened she's really sore. Thankfully, there are no broken bones. According to my mother, she looks like a truck hit her in the face. She has bruised ribs, a slight concussion, and a pretty big goose-egg on her head witch turned into 2 black eyes this morning.Please say a prayer that she will heal quickly.
A 70 year old grandmother in England was sentenced to a 20 year term in jail for ordering the murder of her daughter-in-law who she claimed had been guilty of adultery. Bachan Athwai arranged for her brother to strangle Surjit Athwai and then dump her body in a river. Ms. Athwai was on a trip back to India with her mother-in-law when she mysteriously disappeared. Her children were told she had run away with a man and all traces of her existence whether pictures of writing were destroyed. The judge told the murderers, “The pair of you decided that the so-called honour of your family members was worth more than the life of this young woman.”
The judge is correct, it is “so-called honour” which impels people to brutalize or murder someone who they claim has violated some aspect of family or religious traditions. In this case, Ms. Athwai was murdered because she apparently had a mind of her own and was attempting to stand up for her rights. Her mother-in-law believe
A little boy and his grandfather are raking leaves in the yard. The little boy sees an earthworm trying to get back into its hole. He says, "Grandpa, I bet I can put that worm back in that hole." The grandfather replies, "I'll bet you five dollars you can't. It's too wiggly and limp to put back in that little hole." The little boy runs into the house and comes back out with a can of hair spray. He sprays the worm until it is straight and stiff as a board. The boy then proceeds to put the worm back into the hole. The grandfather hands the little boy five dollars, grabs the hair spray and runs into the house. Thirty minutes later the grandfather comes back out and hands the boy another five dollars. The little boy says, "Grandpa, you already gave me five dollars." The grandfather replies, "I know. That's from your Grandma."
I have a Grandma named Sandy,
And she’s sweeter than candy.
She’s lots of fun and likes to play!
When I’m with her, she’s fun all day.
She likes to go to the Harry Potter site;
She’s on the computer all day and all night.
Grandpa doesn’t like it; he wants his chance,
But Grandma says: “No playing pinball; you don’t stand a chance!”
Grandma is the coolest lady in the town.

COVINA California -Police are expected to file assault and elder-abuse charges today against a paroled drug dealer who allegedly stabbed his grandmother Monday night at the Tumbling Waters Mobile Park.Jerry Guerro, 24, was arrested by Covina police on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and elder abuse after he allegedly attacked his grandmother with a butcher knife in the 1300 block of North Citrus Avenue.---------------------------------------------Parents are sitting ducks. They can't imagine that their children would want to do them any harm. Maybe they just resent having been born.
My mother in law got a loptop! I couldn't believe what I heard when I first heard it. For many years, she was very resistant about computers and was adamant that she didn't want to try using a computer. I suppose she changed her mind.I told my husband the other day that if only I have the time, I want to initiate a part-time job teaching grandparents how to e-mail and blog. I think that's a cool part-time job! It would be so rewarding and fulfilling - teaching the grandmas and grandpas to use e-mail and to blog in order for them to stay in touch with their families, especially grandkids. It's also the best way to use their mind, and meet other seniors from all over the Unites States and from around the world. So, if you're a blogger SAHM who's looking for income, why not put an ad in the paper out teachng seniors how to e-mail and blog.Oh I really would like to fly over to Connecticut to teach my mother in law how to blog. I think she's be good at it like Millie. And I thin
Grandma turns 87 (I think) tomorrow, so I made her a lovely apron from my favorite apron pattern. This time I made it reversible, as you can see in the detail of the bow, and I like the heft it adds to the apron. Also, it looks a little short on my sister, because Gma is decidedly under five feet, so I had to shorten things a bit. We're also giving her a lovely old hardback copy of Pride and Predjudice. (She loves to read.)
I've talked about my Grammy Poe here, but I haven't mentioned my other grandmother, Grandma K (aka Dr. K). Anyone who knows her knows that it's not for lack of stories and character. She could fill up her own blog.At 81 years young, Grandma K is still going strong. She still quilts on a very regular basis at her church and is the life of any party. Before her busy retirement schedule, she used to teach home economics and served as the department chair for several years. She can whip up a meal faster than anyone I know. If she had a show like Paula Deen, it would only last about 10 minutes. She'd be done with a 4-course meal by the first commercial break. They'd have to fill, fill, fill.I talked to her tonight and told her how the triplets were really enjoying their tilapia. To my surprise, she has never fixed tilapia. I think it's high time she make some tilapia. So here's the recipe:Broiled Tilapia Pesto4 fillets of tilapia (6 oz. each)2 cloves garlic, minced1/3 c. fresh lemon
It's not really a surprise - we've suspected it for a while now. I posted about it back in January last year when the suggestion first reared its head. However, actually hearing it confirmed is something of a shock really.Mum took Grandma back to the specialist today. There's no doubt she has been getting worse, and the fact that she agreed to the appointment without fuss shows she recognises it. Mum said he asked her various basic questions, such as what year it is, what the season is - and she had real trouble with it. She got the year eventually but while she could work out (by listing them on her fingers, apparently) that it is August she couldn't equate August with a season. So the diagnosis has finally been made. How the hell Grandad is going to cope with this I don't know. They're 84 and getting more and more frail, Grandad in particular. He aged very rapidly after his older brother (who had dementia) died - how many years ago is that now? Hi s sister lives next d
We went to Grandma's house yesterday for a little surprise visit. Aunt Mara (Clif's sister) had a new camera that she wanted to try out. She got some really sweet pictures of me with the kids and Grandma with Lauren.
Watching a small child vomit evokes a particularly sharp feeling of helplessness.
My sister and her family were out in the mini-van we're sharing this week, so I transferred The Poo's car seat to my mother's BMW for an afternoon jaunt to Chatham yesterday. We had a lovely time shopping there, and stopped for an early evening snack before heading for home.
The drive back to our summer home is
Next month, I'll attend a conference called gnomedex, where I hope to learn alot more about blogging and social media -- that will maybe translate to some sort of added value for you as a visitor to and reader of this blog. I've always looked at this blog being primarily about autistic/family content to a very niche audience. I haven't spent alot of time trying to market it or expand it beyond its core objective - to give one guy's view of the ups-and-downs and sometimes humorous insights and commentary on his life with his autistic child. I have always hoped that if the right person finds the blog, that they end up bookmarking it coming back to it regularly, or when needed. Maybe I should aim higher with 'Autistic Dad', but with career and family obligations, I have to be realistic into what I can throw at this Web site. That being said, I hope to learn how to do more, or think differently, or possibly become more sophisticated and/or savvy in running and writing this Web blog.
Classic pearls get a hip, modern update when paired with amethyst and sapphire and placed inside a cage of bright and oxidized sterling silver. Handcrafted by Joanna Jorgensen of Jorgensen Studio, these amazing earrings have an architectural, slightly gothic, feel to them, that are still very posh. The delicate lilac South Sea pearls and the tiny gemstones are so feminine and really play up the intricate design of the surrounding silver cage. They would add a shot of modern elegance to any look. See more of her beautiful designs HERE, including her beautiful Raku and Majolica Pottery.

Yeah, sorry I've been quiet - been in Napa, innit. Not really. But Ruff Sqwad were out there a few weeks ago and decided to make their own episode of Ayia Napa Uncovered. There's footage of them in the hotel, in the swimming pool, in KFC, checking out some girls... Just your usual kind of stuff to do while on holiday, I guess.Talking of Ruff Sqwad, they played at my last DO IT! party on the weekend just gone and killed it. I really am a massive fan of those guys. I told them to arrive an hour before they were supposed to play expecting them to be late but they actually turned up on time. They didn't mind waiting around and didn't hassle me for drinks tokens all night (like some other people I've booked before) and then went on a did an amazing long set, even though I didn't have much money to give them. I also went to Jammer's mixtape launch the night before (will have pics for Friday) but only stayed a little while. I heard Jam had 60 people on his guest list so it took ages fo

My friend “Nora” was very shaken by something that happened to her recently. While her six grandchildren were visiting, the oldest boy (age 13) shouted, “Let’s take her down!” and all six of the children attacked her, knocking her to the ground, then groping and hitting her.Nora is 73 and only 5 foot 2. Her oldest grandchild is 5 foot 7 and weighs 140 pounds. All of the grandchildren are large for their ages. The youngest, who is 7, weighs well over 70 pounds.My question is, what can elderly people do to protect themselves? Nora took the beating because she was afraid if she fought back, she’d be turned in for child abuse.Abridged >>

I enjoy eating brunch so we tried Grandma’s Kitchen. The small restaurant has a homey feel. You need to go before 11am to avail the 10% discount. We got to order 1 minute before the deadline!
I never really enjoyed the food sadly, either it was too bland, or starchy (steak). Though my other friends loved their order (peppered steak), it was not really my thing. You can order pancakes, waffles, omelet too.
The service waitresses/waiters can speak a bit English so you can explain what you want. Though this is not my favorite, you can try but order the right ones. Try the cheesecakes, I heard that it’s their best seller.

Little Tony was staying with his grandmother for a few days. He'd been playing outside with the other kids for a while when he came into the house and asked her, "Grandma, what is that called when two people are sleeping in the same room and one is on top of the other?" She was a little taken aback, but decided to tell him the truth. "It's called sexual intercourse, darling." Little Tony just said,"Oh, OK" and went back outside to talk and play with the other kids. A few minutes later he came back in and said angrily, "Grandma, it is not called sexual intercourse! It's called Bunk Beds and Jimmy's Mom wants to talk to you!!"
Let me begin this post with a disclaimer. I love my grandma. She's lovely. I'd never wish for anyone else. I will admit, though, that if I were transported to an alternate dimension in which my grandma never existed and I could choose one elderly lady to replace her, I would totally choose Old Grandma Hardcore. Below are the reasons why.She owns an Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, Nintendo DS and PSP. Which big time company reps gave to her.She plays heaps of games. Not just family friendly DS titles - the kind Nicole Kidman might play if advertisements were a reflection of reality - but hardcore FPS titles like Gears of War and Resistance: Fall of Man.She plays Xbox Live and unlocks achievement points and stuff.She played Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters in her hospital bed.She seems like an awesome person to know.I admire anyone who breaks two age-old (excuse the pun) stereotypes: that all gamers are under 15 and male. Sure, she's just one person, but anything that isn't this is a step in the
