Is your MOM addicted to drugs?
What helped you with getting your little girl not to wet the bed anymore at night.
My daughter just turned 3 years old 2weeks ago and she seems to keep her underwear dry during the day it’s just at night and I stop letting her have any thing to drink at 6:30pm since her bedtime is 8:30pm but she still seems to wet the bed at night.
My 4 year 3 month old daughter still wets her pull up though the night. I’ve tried limiting her drinks after dinner, getting her to pee 3 times in the last hour before bedtime and that doesn’t help. Waking her at 11 is a disaster, she’s a very deep sleeper and it’s traumatic for me to wake her up, she can’t figure out what’s going on and it scares her. I think it’s because she is such a sound sleeper that she’s wetting her pull up before she wakes up fully, but she’s beginning to really feel ashamed of this and my heart is breaking for her. I don’t mind the peeing, I’m ready to wait for it to end on it’s own, but she’s so bothered by it I feel like I need to do something.
I had her potty trained since she was 2 1/2. she went a year completly dry every night. She would even wake me up at night to go to the bathroom. Now, for the past 6 months or so, she wets the bed every night. I have stopped letting her have stuff to drink by 7pm. I make her go to the bathroom before she goes to bed and yet, she stills wets the bed…sometimes twice a night. I am just fed up and confused. I just don’t know what else to do. What else should I try?
As I jetted the streets of Chicago in a perverse attempt to find a liquor store that still carried Mad Dog 20/20, I reflected on how odd timing could be. Not thirty minutes ago I was a doctoral student sitting in lecture at a prestigious, private university and now I was actively seeking a substance whose sole purpose was the destruction of the brain I was just developing. Truthfully, this was the first time I was ever looking to buy some Mad Dog; though I do remember it floating around throughout my college years. So, when I jumped in my car I never thought that this search would be so difficult; I just assumed I could get it anywhere. But, as I continued to swerve my little Saturn from liquor store to liquor store, I kept receiving the same twisted dirty look from the staff when I asked where they kept their Mad Dog.
After about an hour of scouring the city streets I hit pay dirt. The clerk had to go all the way to the back of the store, move some boxes out of the way and dig out my prize. When I went to the register the second clerk asked to see my I.D. As I reached for my wallet the first interjected quickly and said, “Now, we don’t need to see his I.D. I trust him.” With that he shot me a sly wink and bagged up my three bottles. He must have thought he was doing some underage kid a favor. I wanted to scream that I was really over 21 (by quite a many years) and decree the real reason I was purchasing this vile liquor. But I hesitated and thought, maybe it just makes more sense to him that a youngin’ was buying such an inexpensive, atrocious alcohol. After all, what respectable doctoral student would?
At this point you may think this article to be about the trappings of a young alcoholic. Now, while working toward a Ph.D. may drive me into the bottle, I’m not quite there just yet. In all actuality, I was preparing for a party I hosted on November 2, 2004. The invitation read as follows:
All people and political parties are welcome to Election Night 2004!!! But, there is an agenda for the evening. If:
1. John Kerry wins, I will have champagne for all.
2. If Dubya wins, everyone will be required to drink 1 glass of Mad Dog 20/20.
3. If Nader wins, I will personally buy an all-inclusive round-trip package to Hawaii for everyone who comes to the party.
4. If, somehow, the Democrats win the election but the Republicans steal it AGAIN then we all will pile into our cars and make a break for Canada!
Hope you can make it!!!
As I’m sure you can assume, the champagne was decidedly easier and much more expensive to obtain for the festivities. Also, I didn’t exactly have American Airlines on hold with 20 round trip tickets to Hawaii in anticipation of the greatest political upset in the last 100 years.
As a reluctant Democrat, I spent the weeks preceding the election debating with my academic colleagues about who was going to win. With all the higher education Republicans being called into an undisclosed F.B.I. conservative protection program, these discussions were largely one-sided. The tenor is best characterized as having a measured optimism. Kerry was obviously intelligent; the fact that he “flip-flopped” on issues only proved he could in fact change his mind if given new evidence. And, of course, how could the character of a decorated Vietnam veteran ever be tarnished?
These discussions also provided ample opportunity for Bush-Bashing; I admit that I participated in these sessions with zeal! Now, our President Bush has never been seen as a flip-flopper. You either clearly knew his stance on an issue or you clearly knew he had no intention of taking any stance at all. I think Chris Rock summed it up best:
Reporter: Mr. President, What about the economy? When’s it going to pick up?
Bush: Well, you never know. We’re talking to people. And economic indicators are indicating that indications are coming to the indicators. You know what I’m saying? Alright.
Reporter: Mr. President, what about gay marriage?
Bush: F— them faggots!
November 2, 2004 finally rolled around. I was incredibly thankful that my near round the clock vigil of all the major media outlets would soon end; I hadn’t watched this much news coverage since the days following 9/11. At any rate, I ducked out of work, drove to my polling station and cast my ballot. Even up until the second I punched out my chad I was conflicted, but ultimately chose to follow my mind rather than my heart. I make this distinction because if I had voted for who my heart wanted, Nader would have been a single vote greater in Illinois. But, I bought into the hype that this election was just too important. As I said before, I am a reluctant Democrat.
The party that evening went well on its way and we watched the events unfold. Of course nothing surprising initially happened; states were falling where we all new they would. The northeast lit up blue, the south burned red. Like clockwork, within 5 seconds of the polls closing in Illinois it was awarded to the Democrats. I always take it as a matter of pride that my home state is the first blue beacon out to the west.
My partygoers continued to munch through all the hors d’oeuvres and make small talk since it would be at least a couple hours wait until we started receiving a few of the “toss-up” state election results. And then it came – Kerry was projected to win Pennsylvania. Not wanting to fall prey to another Florida fiasco, we quickly checked out all the news outlets for confirmation. All except Fox News (surprise, surprise) had the same wonderful blue color enveloping Pennsylvania; at that point a Kerry win felt much more tangible. The South cards all fell for Bush, as expected. Our numbers looked horrible, but we knew we could add on California’s 55 electoral votes to put us at ease. Until this point in the evening I was guarded in my optimism, but now I started to allow myself to believe. Maybe we wouldn’t have four more years of Bush.
The night rolled on and Florida fell as I expected but along came Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota in the win column for us. My eyes began to bore holes into Ohio on the TV map. I don’t think I moved from my position for sometime as I sat hoping for an answer.
I have never claimed to be a mathematician at any point in my life. Truth be told, in my first-year of college I was required to take a no-credit, remedial Algebra course. Nonetheless, on election night I found myself doing incredible calculations effortlessly in my head as I watched the returns come in from Ohio. It was still too close to call but Kerry was trailing. None of that mattered, each time I calculated the number of votes we needed I rationalized ways we were going to get them. After all, Democrats are lazy aren’t they? I had bet they were lounging around their houses all day, continually putting off going to the polls. I just knew they were watching T.V. like I was and suddenly realized “Oh damn! Look at those poll numbers. We had better go vote!”
Plus, we were heavily relying on the college vote. Having worked in colleges for many years now I’ve seen first hand just how adept students are at procrastinating. They probably were piling out of their residence halls right now and slowly trampsing over to the polls. Yeah, that must be it. I pinned my hopes of the election on the fact that lazy Democrats and procrastinating college students from Ohio were going to save the day.
With fear starting to creep in, some of my companions began speculating about what four more years of Bush really meant. The realization that we were going to lose continued to seep its way more and more into our psyche. Needless to say, neither the champagne nor Mad Dog was drunk that evening. And, my smart-aleck friend who brought with him a packed bag in hopes of a free Hawaiian vacation somberly went home. The night ended on the familiar note of a build up minus a pay off reminiscent of 2000. I struggled to stay awake into the night, but eventually fell asleep in my living room with the TV on.
Let me pause for one quick side bar. If elections are going to keep ending like a Hollywood cliffhanger, can we all decide to move them to Friday? On the Wednesdays following these sleepless nights I get absolutely nothing done between the frequent dosing off and even more frequent refreshing of every media outlet I have opened up on my desktop. Days like this I am addicted to these websites even though I can get a better idea about what will be on next week’s “24″ than I can about an election that already happened!
The early morning hours came without any news. I turned on the coffee pot, no news. I toasted my bagel, no news. I showered while occasionally craning my neck out of the bathroom to see the TV, no news. I was starting to get irritated.
Then came the Kerry concession speech; I knew it was coming, but just didn’t want to believe it. I wish I could say that he left me with some solace or hope in the future. I wish I felt united behind President Bush as the justified winner. But honestly, I cannot remember one word the man said during this speech. All I remember is thinking that maybe it was a good thing he didn’t get elected. I mean, for God’s sake, no President of the United States should ever be seen wearing a tie resembling something donated by the makers of Pepto-Bismol! Come on, you have to agree with me there!
Of course, this was just my humor consoling the incredible loss I felt in this moment. How could my calculations have been so off? Did the unreliable college students of Ohio sell our collective souls down the river because of a good drink special on campus? The parade of Bush parties all over the nation began to spring up and glow on my television screen. Bush was then able to give the triumphant reelection speech his father never could. As Bush supporters throughout the country were chanting enthusiastically “Four More Years” I sat down, put my head in my hands and muttered in a barely recognizable, guttural, pained effort of speech, “four…more…years.”
This article is not about what happened to the Democrats in losing this election. I merely tell my story of the election to one, set the stage for what we see in liberal America today and two, as a method of cathartic release for the emotions I still have bottled up. Looking back a year later, I can’t bring myself to hold Kerry solely responsible for this loss even though it seemed like a proverbial slam-dunk. What concerns me more is the attitude and rhetoric my fellow liberals have employed in the months since November. A year later I stand aghast at the senseless ramblings of individuals I thought to be patriots of this country. I believe in many of their virtues and ideals and thought I was standing shoulder to shoulder with them in a fight for what we believed in.
Unfortunately, many of my liberal co-patriots have gone off the bitter deep end. It is sad to witness the disgust, bordering on hate, many have expressed for those who dared cast their ballots for Bush. I even heard remarks after the Hurricane Katrina catastrophe that “those people down South” should blame themselves for President Bush’s slow response in their time of need. After all, they are the ones who voted for him. I find such a sentiment revolting. These are the people we hope to serve and yet we have shown so little respect for them in the wake of this election. If they do not “get” that we can serve them better than the Republican right, who’s fault is that?
In my junior year in high school, my entire class was unexpectedly called down to our large auditorium. Not knowing why we were being beckoned, we hastened downstairs knowing the reason could not be good news. A month or so prior we had all taken the Pre-ACT and evidentially our results had just been received.
My high school was supposed to be a rigorous college prep program and our combined Math scores were far below the national average. This is of course a foreshadowing to the future problems I would have in college requiring remedial coursework. In any case, the school administration had called us down to one, inform us of this fact and two, berate us for so horribly embarrassing the school by our poor performance. The principal spoke at us. The dean of students spoke at us. After about 10-15 more minutes of our own teachers criticizing our work ethic and performance to date I shot my hand into the air. I just couldn’t take it anymore.
When I was finally called on I could actually hear the hundreds of heads sweep back in my direction to see what I dared to say. While what I said next was most definitely rooted in a rebellious, adolescent, smart-aleck rebuke to the administration, it was nonetheless a moment of truth and relatable to our current political situation. I said, “Now, if I do poorly on a test, then that is my fault. But, if ALL 400 of us do poorly on a nationally administered test, isn’t that YOUR fault?” as I pointed my finger in the direction of the faculty.
As I am sure you can imagine, I got into an incredible amount of trouble for my outburst; but that does not mean that I was wrong! If Red-Staters who have lost their jobs, are having their daughters and sons die in the Middle East and are suffering through a horrendous federal response to a natural disaster are still voting for the man and political party responsible for their plight, how can we place blame for the election at their doorstep? We evidentially did an outright horrible job at teaching and explaining how we want to work on behalf of these honest, hard-working people occupying the land between Los Angeles and New York City. We did not show them how we have their true interest at heart and not just interests of the richest 1%. It isn’t their fault and there is nothing fundamentally wrong with them. The problem lies within our nation of real-life, working liberals.
I absolutely refuse to align myself with rhetoric of dejection, mistrust, and constant bemoaning of how we have been cheated. I have some news for all my fellow liberals out there…WE WEREN’T CHEATED! But, even if we were cheated, we cheated ourselves. I can’t believe that some of the most highly educated and respectable people in our nation are such incredibly sore losers. We aren’t on the playground anymore folks and there will be another day for another election. I have no confidence in President Bush either, but I do have confidence in us as a people. Besides, if Kerry was elected, we have to be honest, we were only hoping for a slightly less screwed up world than we already have. A messiah sent to heal the wounds in our country he was not.
We liberals here on the ground floor, living real lives, will not have success just happen to us. We have to create our own fortune. The Democrats may be the best we have and, unfortunately for us, the only thing they have successfully created is an ocean of failure. Just take a quick look at the results for the past 10 elections:
1968 – Richard M. Nixon (R)
1972 – Richard M. Nixon/Gerald R. Ford (R)
1976 – James E. Carter (D)
1980 – Ronald W. Reagan (R)
1984 – Ronald W. Reagan (R)
1988 – George H. W. Bush (R)
1992 – William J. Clinton (D)
1996 – William J. Clinton (D)
2000 – George W. Bush (R)
2004 – George W. Bush (R)
Are you able to see the problem? We have elected 2 Democrats to our nations highest office in the past 36 years and one of those was JIMMY CARTER! There are problems that pre-date the “Dubya” era of our history. We have to take a critical look into how this history and the Democratic Party has affected the nation of liberals of which I am proud to be a part. Proud yes, but not satisfied. We can be better than we have shown ourselves to be this past year.
One, we are not going to win allies by calling people stupid. It is just that simple. Liberals are quick to chastise President Bush for pushing around the world like he is Clint Eastwood in some Western. He is not well liked around the world because he is a bully and thinks he knows what is right; let’s not make the same mistake. Let’s not assume we naturally know what a family living in Stillwater, Oklahoma wants or needs. We may share in a collective American culture, but our individual experiences are far removed from one another.
Two, we are not going to win allies by looking down our noses at people. Do you remember the stuck up professors you had in college who thought they were God’s gift to the world? Did you like them? Of course not! Pretentious academics end their life in the solitude believing that they were always better than everyone else. Notice closely that I said their story ends in solitude. An important point here is that solitude doesn’t carry much voting power.
Three, we are not going to win allies by telling people how easy it would be to improve their situation. First off, I have rarely met a person whose situation was easy to begin with. Everyone has a story about the hardest thing they have ever had to deal with in their lives. To them it was difficult and, even if another’s experience was different, no one has the right to pass a value judgment. Everyone’s story deserves respect.
Many Red-Staters like their “situation” and don’t need people filling their head with the idea that there is something wrong with them. We have fought and are still fighting hard battles for equal opportunity. This means all people have the equal opportunity to lead any kind of life they want. I too get annoyed when NASCAR clogs up my nightly ESPN time, but being a fan of NASCAR does not infer that you also possess a lower I.Q. Again, I say we have constantly fought for the choice. Why would we begrudge anyone that?
We should learn from and show respect to the Republican Party and Red-Staters. They are ardent Americans and a large section of the population we hope to serve. Furthermore, when the Republicans took a presidential back seat in the 1990s, never once did I hear that they wanted to flee to Canada as I heard loudly exclaimed from many liberals this past year. I point the finger right back myself in this instance in reference to my Election Night invitation. How more un-American and juvenile can a person sound by saying that since I didn’t get my way I’m taking my ball and going home. If the Left is going to flee the country because the current King of the Right is still in office, I have to respect Republicans even more for deciding to continue the fight and not just BLOW town when Clinton held the same JOB. Remember, the Right was exactly too ecstatic when we had our president in the 90s.
Special Note: For those of you who want to move to Canada over election results my first instinctual response is to help you pack. We don’t need you here; you’re nothing but a pessimistic weight holding us down. But, if you really are willing to move over this, then could you at least take one for the team and move to Ohio? We need some more blue voters there.
The point is that I have not seen my peers leading with respect this past year and I call upon them to do so. I don’t care about the politicians; they are going to do what they are going to do. I say again that I am talking to the real world, working liberals where the true charge for change falls. We are better than this and only by being better are we going to reclaim positions of power in politics. It is 3 more years until the next election and I am guessing it is at least 8-12 more years before Barrack Obama can run. We need answers and leaders today. Get your game face on liberals!
Boo!! ‘Tis the season once more, when everything scary, silly and strange becomes really cool (and we’re not talking about the American presidential election). Happy Halloween everyone!! October 31 is fast approaching and the gross and ghoulish will be out and about, looking for candy and trying to scare the bejeezes out of you. Seeing it’s about that time, to relate tales from the crypt, who are we to not pander to the masses and give our very own chilling list of haunted hotels from around the world.
During our extensive research we were surprised to find that Europe and North America seem to have an inordinate amount of spirits who just don’t want to leave their former residences (though we’re thinking with the recent economic downturn, many may change their minds and finally move on). Even so, there are places to stay around the world where spooks and specters float in the night…. Here is our top 13!
The Nottingham Road Hotel (South Africa)
What’s the best way to keep good staff? Don’t let them leave. This hotel in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa has a barmaid who apparently decided the tips were just too good. The barmaid’s spirit has been known to move pots around the pub, open beer taps, ring a service bell (which was supposedly no longer in working order) and has even been attributed to deflating tires of certain guests. They were poor tippers of course.
Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel (USA)
There are so many haunted hotels in the United States, it was tough to pick just a few. We picked this one because it’s just so cool. The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, California is supposedly home to the ghosts or Marilyn Monroe and Montgomery Clift. Marilyn is said to haunt a full length mirror that was once in a room she was known to frequent. Guests have reported catching glimpses of the blonde bombshell in the mirror as they pass. Clift stayed in room 928 while filming From Here to Eternity and guests have reported being able to hear him pacing and rehearsing his lines.
Buma Inn (China)
The Chinese take their spirits seriously, and this one at the Buma Inn in Beijing seriously wants revenge. Apparently a guest at the Inn was poisoned by the chef and subsequently died. The chef was so upset about it, that he then killed himself afterwards. The murdered guest is said to be seen roaming the halls forever in search of the chef, looking to inflict his revenge.
Breakfast Creek Inn (Australia)
According to the Brisbane Visitor’s Guide this Brisbane hotel is apparently known to almost the entire population of Australia. If that wasn’t weird enough, it’s apparently haunted as well. It was built in 1889 by William Galloway, the former Lord Mayor of Brisbane. One night, apparently drunk, he fell from a second floor window to his death in 1895. Having undergone many renovations since then, his ghost is said to have been seen and heard wandering the older, original portions of the hotel.
Toftaholm Herrgard (Sweden)
Once home to a baron this hotel in Toftaholm, Sweden is haunted by a young boy. The boy, a commoner, fell in love with the baron’s daughter. The baron disapproved and arranged for his daughter to be married to someone else. On the day of the wedding, the boy hung himself in the rafters. His spirit is said to haunt room 324 where the rafters once were.
Genting Highlands Resort (Malaysia)
Located just north of Kuala Lumpur, this popular resort and casino has apparently seen its fair share of suicides by those distraught after incurring gambling debts at the tables. Various visitors have related stories of seeing a man jump from the top of the hotel only to vanish before hitting the ground. It’s also said there are rooms in the hotel that are not available to stay in no matter what the occupancy level of the hotel because of the strong presence of otherworldly spirits.
Ballygally Castle Hotel (Ireland)
It’s a castle, therefore it must be haunted. The Ballygally Castle Hotel is haunted by Lady Isabella Shaw, who was imprisoned here in the 17th century for the horrible crime of giving birth to a daughter instead of a boy. So distraught, she apparently jumped to her death clutching her daughter. Her ghost is said to be heard wandering the halls, knocking on doors…while holding her crying baby. Creeeeepy.
Dragsholm Slot – Hotel (Denmark)
Another castle (go figure), this one located in Sealand, Denmark is home to three ghosts; the Gray Lady, White Lady and the Earl of Bothwell. The Gray Lady is apparently a maiden who was so devoted to the castle she returns nightly to check on the grounds. The Earl of Brothwell was captured here in the 1500′s and imprisoned in the cellar where he subsequently went mad and died, now forever to wander the halls. The White Lady is a daughter of one of the former owners who fell in love with a commoner. Her father found out about the illicit affair and imprisoned her in the castle. During renovations in the 1930’s a skeleton in a white dress was found behind one of the walls lending credence to the tale.
The Stanley Hotel (USA)
We like creepy movies, and Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining” is as creepy as they come. Based on the Stephen King novel, King himself based the Overlook Hotel in his book on The Stanley Hotel in Park Estes, Colorado. The Stanley is said to be haunted by its original owner F.O. Stanley and his wife Flora. Stanley’s ghost has been seen wandering the lobby, bar and Billiard Room while Flora continues to play the piano in the Music Room. Guests have reportedly heard music coming from the room. When they open the door the keys are seen moving on the piano as well, but as soon as they go closer to investigate, the music stops.
The Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel (Canada)
Set in picturesque Banff, Alberta the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel is said to be haunted by a ghost bride. Legend has it that a bride was walking down the grand staircase to the lobby for her wedding reception. The “train” on her gown apparently brushed against one of the numerous candles used to light the lobby and caught fire. In her panic, she apparently tripped and fell down the stairs, breaking her neck. Her ghost has been seen wandering the halls still in her dress. Just more proof that eloping is the best choice.
The Savoy Hotel (India)
Famous as the inspiration for Agatha Christie’s first novel The Mysterious Affair at Styles, the Savoy Hotel in Mussoorie, India is apparently haunted by its former owner, Lady Orme. Murdered by sipping on some strychnine mysteriously placed in her medicine bottle, Ms. Orme’s murderer was never found. Her ghost has reportedly been seen aimlessly walking the halls of her old hotel.
The Langham Hilton Hotel (England)
An iconic hotel in the middle of London, the Langham is reputedly one of the most haunted hotels in the world, with as many as 7 different ghosts seen from time to time. Some of the ghosts are dressed in Victorian clothing, one of the ghosts is said to be that of a German soldier, another is said to be the ghost of doctor who murdered his wife and then killed himself, and the Emperor Louis Napolean III is said to haunt the basement. Room 333 is supposed to be the most haunted of all, in which a BBC reporter watched a specter appear from a floating, glowing ball, right in front of his eyes.
The Queen Mary (USA)
It’s a boat, a hotel and it’s haunted. How cool is that! The former luxury liner was bigger and faster than the Titanic in her day and was used to transport troops in World War II. Now permanently docked in Long Beach, California and converted to a floating hotel, the Queen Mary is reportedly home to various different ghosts. The boat has been the site of 49 deaths, so there could be a few ghosts to choose from. There is the sailor crushed behind Door 13 of the engine room, now seen roaming the halls only to disappear behind the very same door that killed him, there are the women in 30′s style bathing suits seen sitting around the first class pool (though the pool has been closed for decades) and there’s the little girl who drowned in the second class poolroom, often seen (and heard) in the area while clutching a teddy bear. There is apparently more, but we’re just too freaked out to continue talking about it.
For the last 20 years, I have helped clients plan for their âgolden yearsâ, including how they will address the issues of aging and remaining independent. And now I am personally experiencing it myself; I am the Designated Daughter with my own parents. Because my parents and I had âthe important conversationsâ and did the proper planning, I was prepared when I received that âCall in the Nightâ. Part of creating the life of your dreams is making sure you address all the âwhat ifsâ in your life. Skipping this step could create unpleasant complications that might be avoided. Our parents and loved ones are living longer and we need to know how this may affect our lives and be prepared with a plan. Take a look at these statistics:
When Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid were designed, life expectancy was 63. Our fastest growing population is age 85 plus and 50% may have some form of     Alzheimerâs. By 2030, 70 million people in the US, or 1-in-5 people, will be age 65. Another 1 million people will be 100 years old. The need for healthcare and related services is exploding!
According to USA Today:
60% of US caregivers are female 66% are married or living with a partner 45 is the average age of US caregivers 77 is the average age of the care recipient 41% of caregivers have children under the age of 18 at home 52% of caregivers are employed full time
Learn how to be prepared, how to talk to your parents or loved ones, what you and they should do to make sure your lives continue to run smoothly and how to avoid costly mistakes.
Step One ~ Get Organized!
Youâll need to gather together the following: One filing cabinet, complete with hanging file and manila folders; a copy of all important documents; a large three-ring binder with big tab dividers; and a colored marker.
Use the binder to store copies of important documents. Label the document title on the tab divider. This will come in handy should you need to transport documents. Using your marker, write on the back of each document where the original is stored (i.e. Will stored in safe deposit box and son John has the key.) Have a section on beneficiaries that lists all documents with appointed beneficiaries. Always keep this section current.
Next, organize your file cabinet. If you donât want to store original documents in your file cabinet, note the originalâs location in the appropriate file. Create the following titles for your hanging files and store items under each category in labeled manila folders.
Important Information
Location of safe deposit box and key Passwords for debit card, online accounts, computer, and voicemail Armed forces documents Birth and marriage certificates Names and phone numbers of your attorney, CPA, financial planner, broker, and insurance agents Copy of tax returns and winter/summer tax assessments Copy of Social Security Estimate Statement
Legal Planning
Copy of will and trusts Copy of life and unemployment insurance policies Durable Power of Attorney (DPOA) documents Prepaid funeral and burial arrangements/plan for pet relocation and expenses.
Banking/Investments
Copy of each credit card with contact phone number Divide out by financial institution a copy of bank statements, brokerage accounts, annuities, IRAâs, stock/bond certificates, and dividend reinvestment plans (DRIP) Copy of retirement plans and investment real estate documents Copy of âSurvivorâsâ Pension Benefit (what will surviving spouse receive after the retiree dies?)
Medical
Name and phone numbers of physicians, dentist, and pharmacy (list prescriptions) Copy of medical insurance card and benefits guidebook Long term care and disability insurance policies Patient Advocate Designation document. Give primary care physician a copy Copy of Medicare card and account number
Household
Copy of home deed, homeowners insurance (umbrella policies) Copy of mortgage and home equity loan statements Copy of auto title, loan/lease, and insurance documents Copy of statements for gas, electric, water, waste management, telephones, etc. Home maintenance file to include repair receipts, phone number of repairmen, warrantees, and appliance insurance.
Step Two ~ Discovery
Your documentation is organized. Breathe a sigh of relief! Next, youâll need to have a series of important conversations with your loved one and other family members including:
What do they think they want for their long term care? What are their needs as they are aging and who can provide it? How do they want to handle their money and property as their lifestyle changes? What kind of legacy do they want to create for themselves?
All of this may take a number of conversations. Try asking if you can talk about these things in general terms because you are doing your own future planning for college savings or retirement. Ask for their help to assess their situation and welcome their input on solutions. Role play a bit⦠Try talking about how they would feel if they had to make these decisions for you instead? Ask what their friends are doing about these types of things? Patience is key here! The most important thing is to really take a look with them at their values, lifestyle and spiritual picture as they ultimately have to “own” the solutions.
Next, youâre ready to select the individuals you want on the caregiving team. Include any that apply: family members, doctors, home care specialist, attorney, certified elder law specialists, insurance agents, brokers, CPA, caregivers, certified financial planner, therapist, etc. Many of these professionals are trained to help families deal with health, financial, and social issues in a holistic way.
Step Three ~ Create a Financial Plan
Sit down with a certified financial planner and develop a financial plan that addresses the following:
Financial Position:

Because still have a lot pats of people living in deep water and heat fire. According to the example, empire are building 36 gunstars, so great projects, cost great manpower, material resources, you mightn’t know, Liyidan spending entire empire 25% tax income for those projects. Many families were destoried, many becautiful stars were throat cuted.” A support asked him,“Honor Windon, I want to ask you when time 36 gunstars will be done?” Windon answered,“This is good asked, according to their plan, possiblity will done after 5 centuries. But, I think that time limit will longer than the plan. Moreover empire isn’t good sleeping every day, because still have strength opponent S.Country. Once it’s have happened outburst affairs, the projects will no end in possible.”
Another supporter asked him again,“Acctully, are we only this reason to together gainst premier Liyidan? Honor Windon, could you explained more?”
Windon said a loud,“I just want to explain the question this time, please to invite project workers from Gunstars of Double Stars, then we can see.” Several workers having groan on the sickbeds, they were set and helped by nurses and doctors near the rostrum. Windon slowly bowed, and the camera lens fllowing him move to move. Audiences would clear watch dialogue from Windon and sick workers. In the lens, Windon healthy body and weaked bodies those form to a color contrasted clearly. Kindly asked,“How are you? Are you OK?” Workers one by one answered, all lying on the mobile sickbed. One of worker pale face and feeble breathing, he said to him,“O…OK.” When words end, his body began falter and falter moving, couldn’t controlled a twitch. Doctors and nurses quickly closed to help, the hall began to tumulting. Windon slowly standed up, and spoke,“Quiet, please to quiet. I throught that worker talking something to me, but I have no idea now. I think I should show some formerly face, let’s look!” The screen expressly show those workers basic information. Simply differend before, full of energy and sonsy people have became only skin and bone. Windon talking more,“They’re a few of billion patients.”

He’s strong will to control angry fire from himself, and talked to Windon,“I’m sure his my people of planet, I have little thinking he became this face, The empire have announced dead on list, Kapaph is one of them!”
Some people started to angry beat senator desks, and aloud abused.
Windon spoke,“Thank you, please go back your seat.” Windon turned to say people,“The fact in front of eyes, our premier having lie! He’s twiddle with us!” A supporter standed up and asked,“Honor Windon, Why didn’t stop the tragedy happend before? Why?” She’s an exciting. Windon answered, “Please calm down, this question very good asked! Those cases we should stopped to, but it’s weren’t know all people, When I knew the thing its too late, my power is very limited. Because the premier keep a firm hand on parliament, How get force to resist? This is one of main reason why I secretly meeting with you.” Another supporter asked him,“I want to ask Honor Windon, What’s proof Have you? How to prove the parliament was controlled? Would you explaint?” then a supporter suddently stand up and told the supporter that, “Do you think these cases can’t proved?”
“Right!” “He’s right.” Gabble talking from people.
Windon answered again,“Calm down, please, listen to me. Now that some people don’t believe, I want to do a small test with us. Two years ago, had a discussion meeting of great project building of G.I.M.E. right? We’re a member of ten thousand senators of empire? Good, please remember voteed that day, then watch the screen.” People suddenly likes jump heart out, a man angry shout,“What’s happened? I’m sure voted the nay, but why not!” An other man shout,“Why!

“So bad! If I didn’t see the fact, I couldn’t dare believe this true.” “Real bastard!” “Darned.” People’s angry emotion more and more evidence.
Windon looked over everbody, then continued to say,“Are they proofs? Yes, they are. Our parliament such like those. Only 3000 people Really care parliament? Where’re others?” People angry cry and loud, Windon spoke again,“Please callmness, ladys and gentlmen, callmness.”
People controlled themself in difficulty.
Windon asked,“These years, how many additional money do you earn? Only know some parts of totall in possible. Don’t worry, I have collectied incomes of all senators since 100 years ago, including other income concern. Ladys and gentlemen, scrutiny action. The names were amended by me. But, If you are one of them, you surely understood! People began to read the smiluation information on hands, used finger to press information, or looking for others.” A supporter had a sigh, then said, “Premier is a cheat, he shouldn’t cheating me!” People reading and watch each other and face to face. The result have started in hearts.
Windon had a deep breath again, eyes glitter, speech aloud,“We exactly understanding Why together here. It’s certain that every effect must have a cause.” We need a brave leader to guidance us at future. Nowaday, Liyidan’s weak mind making many suffer to everyong. Our future needn’t him in service, the empire future must not hold in his hand! Remember at former, We have tried to use all kinds of peaceable method for future, but facts in eyes, we all know. For change the flesh and blood, the sword posibblity to final means. Let’s battle for future!”
Surge feelings of the massess in the hall. Some people bravely standed up on the rostrum, said aloud,“Liyidan! Down! Liyidan! Down!” People too, at a stretch, whole hall such deafening.
Windon suddently recalled a more impressible topic haven’t publiced,“But, It’s enough!” single depend on those proofes can prove Liyidan’s crimes.
A team of military officer walked out from rostrum back. The first that is a heavyweight battlecoat officer, his Lenton, Defence commander of Leitibu. He has serviced for Windon since 150 years ago, and one of favorite generals. At the fore part, he’s commanded great army to battle S army. The rich actual combat experiences were admired reason. Lenton had a salute for Windon, then spoke,“Battle-line have readied, please order!”
Angry people forget himself, cried war again and again.
Battle fleets were moving on the sky, billions of soldiers standing by, more twenty commanders of galaxies one by one requested dircetion of Windon from theirs demesnes. Windon looked into the distance, gentle have a tidy manteau, then stepped on battle spaceship in exclaiming, fly to sky. Followers stepped on other spaceship too as impatient to wait. Whole Leitibu were boiling, paraders hight cried, people were prayed, people were blessing, because they have families and friends joined the insurgence army. The main force had making up by 20 galaxies from original empire armies. They’re totalled to 3.1 billion soldiers and officer. Other armies were form by engage soldiers and voluntary army of empire, totalled to 4 billion or so. Military strength sum to 7.1 billion.
A sliver of meteor nicked Blueness night, with the romance colour in their light and warm.
Liyidan were enjoying to wonderful flame flower near the Sunshine fire stone in spirits. Moment forget worries of works and
put down busy, then to do some interested thing, that will help to relax stress from works. Liyidan has middle stature, like to dress civies. Aged face and silvery voice, heart with the best discernment. He’s fiddle with careful, but flame suddently changed colours, more and more weak, he’s woke up bad sign. It’s never thing such like that before, since the empire constituted. Strange, once G.I.M.E. had a great advancement, the Sunshine fire sure stronger flame, exactly direct proportion on empire rise and fall. Therefore when the Sunshine fire hight rising, liyidan will become very gladness. Because know every thing were controlled by himself. But he did make a serious mistake that result of happen crisis in the empire. He didn’t know the insurgence from the Windon’s Leitibu, who union 20 galaxies, above 7 billion soldiers against his empire still to after-uprising, public the speech, see the information. An information officer fluster submited a report,“Honor premier, Mr.Windon have mutinied 5 hours ago in the Leitibu, and company with 20 galaxies,7 billion soldiers!” Liyidan didn’t dare believe self-ears this time. Subconscious asked,“Why this time told me! 5 hours passed.” The officer reported,“I’m so sorry, because the rebellion force malice hide facts. Bring on right rate of information down, therefore…” Liyidan angry shouted,“Out! Get out here! I need calmness!” He’s sat down on the chair, put the unusual voice under chair in second, then thought about,“I didn’t know my old friend such treat to me. Windon, I misread you.”
A past event fast thought. When Liyidan was young and a colonel of empire, he’s knew Colonel.Windon, both same colonel. They’re graduated in Strategics Institution of Higher Learning of Empire (G.I.M.E.War College). They’re sent to survey of weapon pollution of Earth Start as soon as possible nominate.
Liyidan and Windon get off the spaceship, immediately went to the plloution area. Because the empire is battling years and years, months and months. Result to a series of weapon pollution day by day increasing. Human difficult living in the pollution area. But vicious circles again and again, many animals living in these places, bodies were unusual changed, also gave more and more black shadows to empire. Windon looked at the pollution hurst, stranger colors full dye a lot of piece jungle. Unknow animalcule overgrow on the useless well. Over ash forg and died trees on the hillside, big choked smell smoking over there, it’s couldn’t suffering. People appeared unlucky foreboding.
Liyidan busy worked to investigation with other staffs. A staff spoke,“Colonel Liyidan, Windon. I found many bad animal bodies in front of the swamp area. Evidence to show those animals were bitten by huge creature, there’s B.creatures territory places in sure.”
Windon gazed the huge feetprint, then feeling bad. He asked,“Conlonel Liyidan.What time will we finish the survey?”
Liyidan answered,“Conlonel Liyidan, don’t worry about that. We will finish sooner, please waiting for me.”
Windon going on,“You and me, add others, only 100 people, It’s not a good idear in this way,”
Suddently, terrible cry from the hursts, the voice resound hollow a long time. Windom firmly hold the laser pistol, said aloud,“Brave men, strengthen defensive! Pick up the plan!” Leaves of branch began to discomposure tingle, heavy stepps with the smash leaves sound far to near. It’s alike a huge form moving to outside from inside. Soldiers arranged groups per 5 or 7 people, round and round their conlonels.
Bit by bit clear, a monster. Liyidan had a surprise,“Wo, such huge B.creatures!”
The B.creatures are poison-wildlife, because of growing in weapon pollution area long time, then Multiply to unusual change creatures, extremity danger. Windon stared to the 6 meter high B.creature, crimson body growing colors of rainbow poison horn. Often blast stench throw off, Grotty long bola-tail draging behind back, leave over some long and twisted way of marks. Strong and vigorous claws stepping, deep footprint leaved behind. The B.creatures tingle standing tine-ear, purple light from covetous eyes, Saliva or liquid running from the mouth and sharp teeth. That time, its mouth spurt out the deep call,“Ao! Ao~!”
Liyidan said aloud,“The B.creature is calling companies, We must back here! Speed to ready!” The B.creature began fast running to groups. Empire soldiers had bend over backward to shoot. Numbers of flames foercely shoot to its body, but never delay B.creature speed. 100 meter, 90 meter, 80 meter, the distance was closing. Men’s will would be wobbling. Windon quickly take out the laser sword, and operated bomb-type, fierce threw to B.creature. It’s ate off the sword, everyone had a great surprise. This sword system very currently, abroad using. Becuae of high class security and strong function. Can closing combat and some distance shooting. Also can set up a part of repair. Also the especiall point is with safe password or other special code that start up explode system.
Windon was calmly standing, absolutely standing, and shouted,“Hold up! Listening to me, opening fire!”
Soldiers had all strength to trigger. The B.creature still rush running to them under big fire. heavy stepps were more and more coming, everybody’s heart speed up, but continued to shoot, shoot. 30 meter, 20 meter, 10 meter, Liyidan sweat was running on forehead. Sudden, B.creature had a cruel shouted, then weak down to groud,“BOMB!” from Its stomach, green blood was emiting from wound hole. Although B.creatures couldn’t move, but soldiers’s eyes still fling places, for fear second expressed.
Liyidan undestood the danger was coming, spoke, “Fall back to the base, get out here! Hurry up!”
They’re fast running out the bad places. The B.creatures called beyond…
In the battle tank, Windon slowly spoke to him,“Colonel Liyidan, if the thing in two minds, you and me will died here.”
Liyidan still had a little fear, but secretly felicitate the disaster.
Happy said in no time,“This B.creature have good nose, Where’s weapon pollution, they’re will be there!”
Windon “ah ah” smiled and talked,“Needn’t mind, I can master everything, no one closed us. I have a good idea, we’re going to the small bar tonight. Ah! Aha~ha~!”
They’re became good friends and companies since the case happened. Till to now, they’re depend unremitting will on works, overcome layer upon layer difficulties, finally climbed up the highest leader positions. He’s really unknew, Why the accompanier with him at the former blood fight, now instant changed, became a stumbling block of empire. Windon althought couldn’t cilmbed up his position, but great honour at same, It’s only under one man. The rather that go through fire and water many years, he’s actuality don’t believe why happened.
“Honour premier, honour premier.” An information officer broke his thinking, the officer continued to report,
“Emergencies meeting, senators waiting for you.” Liyidan slow standing, then went to Empire premier Meeting Hall.
In the palace of D.S. great birthday party still holding. People smile, both degustation, enjoy wonderful birthday programes. A young perrty lady gentle and cultivated walking on the bandstand, applause rose up. She’s glad speak,“Thank you, thanks for your support. I’ll offer a classical song for you.《Dream Land Story》” Sweetness and fair music along with her dancing, The story is… It’s said that long long ago, there’s ayoung preety songer feet on the Dream Land, She’s surprise discovered many fly creatures able to song. It’s very blessedness, very exciting to song, the voice so great. Suddently, a difference ray winged to her from sky. It’s a view as a distorted, indistinct shadow appearance of something, It’s a light door. A wing girl smile closing her, and kind talking. Then leaded her to the light door, the light as smaller to smaller, door closed finally. Two years ago, the songer go back to home, her song pleasanter to listen, inebriation. She became famer songer of G.I.M.E. 3 years late… The singing voice is so great, as the heroine of story.
Onhogo power said,“Good, very good!” Applause from audiences again, seens satisfaction full stop.
An officer stealth near Onhogo, low talked,“Honour Onhogo, generals waiting for you in the Universe-eye Info-center.”
He did a wrinkling brow, turn to speak sideward,“Beautiful Ms GianJing, I need a little time to meeting, would you help me to take a charge in my birthday celebration some?”
GianJing felt a surprise,“Honest Onhogo, It’s my pleasure, thanks for your regards. Please to reassurance.”
He’s departed from guesters, palace, to step on spaceship on the Universe-eye Infocenter way. A group of deffense fleet landing on, then tag along his ship flying.
Onhogo sat down the chair of Command module, tasteless asked aside,“Captain Sidink, take the meeting info to me.” Sidink strict answered that,“No problem, honour Onhogo.”
He’s careful reading the info, he’s more read most unclear, to look outer the fash fleet, silently thinking about. At this moment, outerlook weren’t important in his mind, he needs a result, the empire ending of future. He’s phoned to the premier,
Onhogo said,“Honour premier, I’m Onhogo, I understood in substance.”
Liyidan said,“I wouldn’t believe Honour Windom did this case, What’s good suggestion?”
Onhogo talked,“The cases is up to this condition, I thinking that if negotiation was broked, It’s doubt to arms.”
Liyidan said,“I absloute know this point, It’s useless, even we cut territory of country for peace. I very know Windon, such he’ll till to end!”
Onhogo lower voice,“We can continue to use old idea deal with this man, do you think so? Honour premier?”
Liyidan as same of him,“I allow you execute the T.S.M. plan in the occasion requires. But don’t forget,
We’re face to former-companies as Windon, I afraid the plan won’t done!”
Onhogo smile said,“Honour premier, many ways to done, But I thinking that is the suitable way.”
Liyidan thought in two minds. After a little, he again replied,“Nice! I’m allow to you use the plan again if Universe Star plunged in crisis! ”
Onhogo said,“Thanks my lord!”
Onhogo’s face showed a ghost of snaky. He’s recalling conquer former enemies one by one in the scenes, brought mind in the War-Competion, and how to defeat opponents one by one. Aslo looked back on the widely sky, amazingly speed destroy to tough enemies of recalcitrance. He still believe the war will be win without T.S.M. plan, it’s kill a chicken needn’t on an ox.
Sidink broke his mind, reported,“Honour Onhogo, its according to the new info, Windon have renunciated
to G.I.M.E. on the blazeing in the whole, also allianced with 20 galaxies, 7 billion soldiers, hundreds of billion battle
group of fleets dig up the hatchet to G.I.M.E., and the reason is, the reason…”
Onhogo asked him,“What’s the reason? Please talk.” Sidink replied,“Yes, my lord. The reason that is premier Liyidan has controlled parliament of empire such several hundred years ago, also listed to tens of serious accusals.”
Onhogo Knowing said,“I know, prepare to fleets at once. We must arrived to Mubu star, Flamemend star convoked units, then prepare to out for a battle!”
Sidink said aloud,“Yes, sir!” Spaceship dashed out the aerosphere of star. Exhibiting the ocean of universe on face. The Universeeye Information Center piece by piece to became big, became huge. There’s supper space info-port, 3 million square kilometer expanse. The importantest military base in D.S, Number of solar systems are involved in forces. Onhogo ran to the Second Battle Headquarter of D.S. when get off. Tens of empire higer generals were waiting for him in the Meeting Center. They’re standing up at once while he’s arriverd. Onhogo sited down as a draught, then had a wave to everyone, spoke,“Please sit down, don’t standing.”
A gerneal too impatient to wait,“Honour Onhogo, Windon has leaded the rebel army to break through first line of defence of Universe Empire Star. And general Gui Wu Guo is battling to S. invasion armies under fury. The Empire Star is attacked between S.Invasion and rebellion, They’re hold us under war predicament, it’s stared in face. In addition, General Mateph fleets are returning to the Empire Star on way.”
Onhogo had a pat with hand on council board. Then slow said,“Thanks for general Bianja, Who’s want to say more something? please.”
Gneral Peterhanla is near Bianja, he’s first talked,“Honour Onhogo, Because our armies are under bad war predicament, please listen to me.”
Onhogo wasn’t at all attented to their saying, and ferocious face became terror much more.
After moment, he’s asked,“When will Unbeatable GunStar done? Who can tell me that!?” They’re still just standing, no one replied. He’s crinkled, and talked,“I saw the information. It’s press hard on, Who dare to act wild in G.I.M.E., sure be can’t passed in any event! Take my order, the main armies going to the Empire Star in second, then battle to Windon egg! We will going meeting on way! ”
On the way, the meeting is continuing. General Peterhanla said,“According to the information form rebelon on screen, the emenies will use preponderance of soldiers power to pounce us in possibility without fail, It’s overpowering and total battle scheme. Undifficulty to look the attacking way of rebelon from the Empire Starschart, please pay attention to these places.”
Imitate screen showed some solid constellation. He’s talked more,“The rebelon have speed to attacking at present. It’s estimated to arrive there 24 hours later, and will make effective attack.”
Bianja asked,“Our starsfield armies would strengthen power to delay enemy attacking speed in ability or not?” Peterhanla replied that,“If have enough backup power, but our armies will be disastrous.”
Onhogo talked,“We need time. If only that have enough time, stick to victimization more in war.”
Peterhanla replied,“Yes, honour. I’ll execute in a minute.”
That time, other general Jamno asked him,“Excuse me, I want to ask another question.”
Onhogo answered,“Sure, talk please.”
Jamno spoke,“Enemy armies tend to mucilage-glue in battle, military strength whether withdraw to the universe Empire star about, and make time to fight of guard?”
Bianja replied,“This is a good idea. but total withdrawed, will enormously strike Dragons Battlestar armies’s morale, and there’re besieged now, I afraid the result very serious.”
Onhogo laugh,then talked “General Bianja is right with reason, once Twin Dragon Battlestars fell, It must be help to rebelon armies attacking force. And thereby work disbennifit to us. It’s make very disbennifit influence to other star places. G.I.M.E. can’t fell back, even one man with battle last time!”
General Dara was near Jamno, his asked,“Honour Onhogo, for armies can faster speed in battle, I hope we can transport troops and material of star to replace other that one by one circle in succession action. Is it right?”
Onhogo had a look to Dara, then replied,“Right, this’s way if suitable condition. Arrange now.”
Dara answer,“thank you, I’m execute it.”
Onhogo asked,“What about unite-armies everyplaces? General Bianja.”
He’s replied,“Honour Onhogo, they’re on the way. It’s estimate landing-time 10 hours late will be arrived. And our armies will be arrived at 7 hours late in succession.”
Onhogo talked,“Not bad! We must lead up speed than Mr. Windon step, otherwise dally over opportunity combat, unmanageable on blast.”
Peterhanla spoke again,“General GuiWuGuo has again suggested to add reinforcements at one minute ago. And prermier Liyidan wish to send parts of fleets for rescue action.”
He’s replied,“I know, I order General Dara lead 5 million soldiers, 50 million units of fleets to rescue in the twin Dragon Battlestars, assistance General GuiWuGuo clear up on precipice!”
“Yes, sir. I’ll go.” Dara replied.
Onhogo continued to talking prewar prepared with generals. Numberless of battle fleets hight speed to U.Empire Star in the widest space. They’re possibility saluted to glory of Empire, or humiliation.
The birthday celebration continued to open like a full swing. and that time, Sunshine continent has greeted
early morning. People couldn’t tire because of jubilation one night till a succession of fleet gunshots had
savage broken sweetdream at immersion.

Because of empire locating a civil war edge, Onhogo ordered me to defence palace. Please don’t frighten, and don’t worry about these. In aside, Charle.Guan Ⅳ couple or others should fast go back to the bedroom of palace. To ensure security, I’ll send 2 Royalty-armed escorts for His Royal Highness.”
It’s uncomplete saying, a sticked to crutch midlife-man walk out from guests, and asked,“Honour Deco, 2 Royalty-armed escorts may be too smaller, allow my family armed-escorts to join defend job. One of that I can try one’s best faith for master, two of that I can abate Honour Deco’s burden, Do you think so?” A young officer leaded a team of soldiers to here at front door of palace, he’s saluted,“Report to Grigadier Qu Qing, V.Family Universe Fleet Colonel JiaJianChun and units waiting for your orders in 20 kilometre distance of palace.”
Qu Qing was born in D.S. generations service for V.Family, he’s D.S. Universe Fleet Level 1 Grigadier.
Deco had a saw JiaJianChun, then smile spoke,“We’re same, It’s never mind, OK, OK.” People got a load of him at coincide. He’s young and handsome, remarkable, with Royal-warrior honor, show heroic bearing hair.
Qu Qing smile replied,“Hum, good, take order yourself! Never slow Protection responsibility.”
JiaJianChun replied,“Yes, Grigadier.”
Charle.Guan Ⅳ cuted argumentum, talked,“Thanks for your regard V.Family. In this condition, everyone should go back, and units allowed stay. Another, Grigadier Qu Qing go with me, I have important thing talk to you.” Deco knew somewhat, he’s thought,“That old fox crab my great, How should I report to my lord?”

Guests said goodbye to Charle. Guan Ⅳ too, then one by one leaved for home.
Qu Qing followed after Charle. Guan Ⅳ came to King meetingroom. When sat down, he kneel down with a “Bu Ton”, then cried to apologize.
Charle. Guan Ⅳ promptly supported his up, and surprise asked,“Uncle Qu Qing, something slow talked. I wouldn’t receive this manner. standing up then say, please.”
Qu Qing excited to cry his tear out, and talked,“My force weake, many years couldn’t service for responsibility, have not good portection for V.Family.”
Charle. Guan Ⅳ slow talked,“Alas, V.Family under these conditions because that be forced.Onhogo having great power, influenc. We weren’t his opponent. It’s not blame and because of you. I only complain haven’t got enough experience and skills myself.”
He’s supported Qu Qing with hands, then sad down on chair, Qu Qing slow talked,“G.I.M.E. on the life and death line,V.Family should reflect on this time.”
Charle replied,“That’s right, Uncle. His anabasis action is bode ill rather than well, difficult divination. V.Family may be able to brace up royal hero way again, correctitude faith and statute. Thought… thought I still worry about the Gunstars power are mightiness in our mind, we’re whether…?”
Qu Qing letter smile, answered,“Don’t fear that Unbeatable Gunstars, one of them is only building near life star of D.S. It’s wasted of long time 200 years at least, then may be finished. The rather that the empire is diffence to former today. The complete day is no end time. And the furthest regret, Onhogo brought the great mass of armies elite of V.Family, but his some of all contract armies elite still defend in D.S. Even we can all right to thing, national power will tend to vacuum estate.”
Charle. Guan Ⅳ answerd,“Words with truth, He’s took the main armies elite, We also watch out for other against-force’s intrigues.” Onhogo had staied 3 contract armies, they’re very experiences in battle. Deco, ZuoGe, Pinorbarwi control them. Wisdomer Deco is noble of D.S. he’s called “Heaven-Wisdomer”. His unit called “Sky-dragon Warrior”, they’re good at sky battle. Wisdomer Zuo has called“Supernatural Speed Counsellor”, He’s controling the Different-armour Warriors, they’re difference nation hero engage-warriors, great ability to land battle. And Pinorbarwi has named “Steel General”, control aeroamphibious engage-armry “S.Army”. This is second to none elite unit in V.Family. We have to alert. I think in this conditions, We must unite friendship power to chart great plan.”
Charle.Guan Ⅳ supplemented,“I remember Minkim.Guan of V.Family this time again.”
Qu Qing asked,“Is he Sea nation Minkim?”
Charle answered,“Yes, he’s. Sea nation have source with V.Family 1000 years ago. For overlord position, not spare to down status. And marry sea nation. Nowaday, great elder Minkim.Guan has V.Family blood. Although power on hands, but has low-style, dislike to society study. So called the Silence Elder in his presidial.”
Qu Qing had a quiet considering, a few minutes late said,“Honour Charle. Guan Ⅳ, you’re right. Sea nation although had married with V.Family. But It’s not behave of real help us. We must call upon heroes everywhere for V.Family. I have a plan. Could I…? ”
He’s replied,“Please free talk, if this can help V.Family.” Qu Qing talked,“Three days late, V.Family will have an emergency meeting concerning civil war of empire, I will invite V.Family else heroes or famerperson at attendance. That day our can find faithful talent helpers. Add power of family. The first can fill up the vacuum of family power. The second can keep away Onhogo’s expansion power in effect.”
“That’s a good idea. I hope my family is real V.Family of D.S. this isn’t fiddle puppet!”
