Help after bereavement.
Sometimes you discover, amongst the very many websites that are on the internet, a website that really does try to help others, a website that is not there to make money, where there is no hidden agenda  you can read it and come away having learnt something and feeling better.  www.afterloss.yolasite.com is just such a website. The author has attempted to help persons in that period after the loss of a loved one, and of course, often forgotten, that can be a much loved pet.

We that are bereaved are not aware how that loss will affect us as usually these details are not talked about but this site is trying, and hoping, that will be changed.  The personal knowledge of the author, written in "My Story", http://afterloss.yolasite.com/my-story.php will help all those that are in the period after loss to realise that their actions and feelings are similar to those of others at this time and for those that are aware that the death of a loved one is imminant to be given an idea of what to expect and know that their actions are normal.

Blogs and Websites.
I read that there are 400 million blogs and websites on the internet, some of them are pretty awful and should be avoided at all costs, but, there are some great ones as well.

How could we ever search them all to find the ones that maybe are worth visiting? I found a good site and someone has dug around to highlight a variety of blogs and sites that could be worth a visit.

http://BLOGSandWEBSITES.yolasite.com has a variety of places under headings such as, Humour, Travel, Sad, Arts, Interesting, etc.

Worth a click.

Blog action day. Global Warming.

Is it happening? yes of course it is, we know that as our scientists have given us proof, it is a fact.

Can we do anything about it? This is where we run out of facts.

Many scientists think that we can, but, just as many think that we are unable to do so as we are , as yet, unable to give a reason for that global warming that can be proven. Is it a normal cycle in our planets life that will continue regardless to anything that we may do?

We, the ordinary folk, only know what we have read in books or newspapers, or have seen on films or television, many just accept that information as facts, Why should they? The information is a personal view of the presenter of these,so called,"facts".

The waters have been muddied by charlatans that produce films and books based on their selective "facts", government have seized the opportunity to raise taxes, and others are happy to jump on that bandwagon for purely financial reasons, to sell their product.

If the cause is C02 emissions the reduction of 100% by the UK would have no effect on the world wide amounts but would cost this country and its people many millions of pounds that could be more wisely spent in alleviating some of the problems that exist in todays world.

But, global warming remains a problem that we must consider. We must learn to live with it based on an expectation that it will continue.

Rising sea levels will possibly flood lands around the coastline of many countries, including the UK. Would it be better to assist in moving the many villages on coastlines all over the world to higher ground? Possibly our government should be preparing to build the new parliament to the middle of the UK?

There is no rush, maybe 500 or a 1,000 years, maybe 2,000, maybe 5,000 before things become critical and I trust the scientists of tomorrow to come up with the answers for my great, great, great, great, great, etc, grandchildren.

New children's short tales.

Have you visited the "Stories for Children up to 7 years old." website?

All are new tales and many have a moral attached to them such as "Granny Potts and the Birds", © where the tale shows that "one good turn deserves another" and is easy to explain to children if they do not pick up on it themselves. 

  In other stories that the author calls, "Not quite true tales" such as "Falling Leaves" © that gives an explanation on why leaves turn colour and fall each year, a not quite true tale but enjoyable to children  of 4-6 years old.

All tales are free and can be printed from the site.

The website welcomes children's short story's by unpublished authors that will be posted on the site with full credit to the author.

"Stories for Children up to 7 years old." can be visited at, http://sylvestris.bravehost.com/index.html

Scottish Independence.
 

To all that live in Scotland and those throughout the world that have an interest in the future of Scotland.

Has anyone asked for your opinion as to the road that Scotland should take for the future?


INDEPENDENCE for SCOTLAND?

“YES” OR “NO”


The SNP Government and the opposition parties are playing politics on this subject that is so vital for the future of Scotland, for the future of our children, grand children and future generations.


We may, or, may not, get a referendum one day, but, without a referendum how will the politicians know the wishes of the people that they represent?


Please, take a moment to visit,

http://visiting-scotland-blog.yolasite.com/

and cast your vote.

This site is free and has nothing to sell.
