Simply wanted to say Thank you for your blog. I really appreciate such resources where people write about real life, real problems, real joy... Though I spend much time in the Internet, cannot always find something fresh and worthy to read. Even news articles (which I mostly find at http://www.picktorrent.com search engine) do not always contain interesting info. Your resource belongs to my favorites.
