Belated Best wishes
As I watch QPR collapse in front of Liverpool. I realize I have been quite remiss. My best wishes, to all my readers, of Liar and a Dreamer. A very merry Christmas, and a peaceful 2013 from Lima Peru, to everyone who reads my blog.
A very happy birthday to my Father in Law, Sabrino. A true gentleman.

Renee O Connor is alive and well
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0640488/
And making movies. I caught this on Space, about 6pm Lima Time. You may remember Ms O'Connor, from Xena Warrior princess. Where she played Gabrielle, the heart to Xena's head.
Since then, she seems to have been typecast, and seems stuck in a sf ghetto. Unlike her co star Miss Lawless, who has made a good career in the genre TV world. X-Files, Battlestar Galatica, Spartacus.
Also is it significant that the O Connor girl, plays the Bard, but the Lawless Norman plays the warrior? ( Actually Miss Lawless was born Miss Ryan)
I enjoyed Miss O'Connor's performances. I wish her well
*******************
My wife is still suffering from her dentistry.
The boy is teasing me and mocking QPR
I went to a nice Chi-Fa place today. Really enjoyed my lunch
I have been giving my wife injections for the pain she suffers. She is left is agony. I have to wake her up in a moment. For her to take pills. It makes me very nervous. Today, I was going to give her an injection, but thought maybe Sthefany better double check the needle. I was right there was still air in, the needle. I have a new respect for nurses.
Our Christmas decorations are still not up
As yet the world has not ended

KLM/Air France Experience
After posting my blog on twitter, about Air France/KLM refusing to let my brother board flight KL 0744 on the 19th of Decemeber. I received this response
@malchera Thanks for sharing your blog Malchera. We regret to read about your negative experience! Did you already file a complaint with u
I replied after 48 Hours, giving Air France/KLM a chance to reply. They did not
and then, this.
@malchera experience of yours will not deter you from flying with KLM. <<<
Personally I would rather never fly Air France/KLM again. The choice of flights between South America and Europe, is dominated by them, and there partners.
As of 17th of December, nearly a month after the event, I have had
1 reply to my emails
No refund
a statement of regret on twitter
I remain unsatisfied

KLM Air France experience
On the 19th of November, myself my brother, and my fiancee, arrived at Lima Jorge Chavez airport, hoping to get on to flight,
We arrived in good time. We had checked in on line.
My brother has a slight learning difficulty. Mild Dyspaxia, dyslexia but apart from that is a healthy competent adult. He works at a supérmarket. m
My fiance, requested that Air France staff assist my brother in making a transfer. She stated that my brother is Autistic. This is medically and legally accurate, information. However she was describing a complex medical condition. Which it does make my brother sound worse, then he is. Also my Fiance is not a native English speaker. Again she is describing a complex condition. The staff at the desk, told my Fiance, that they could assist my brother but he would have to be taken through his connection on a wheel chair
My brother was unhappy about being escorted through on a wheelchair. So he wished to decline and make the connection, himself. He had in his possession a mobile phone. Several euro’s worth of coins, and a bankcard of at least several hundred euros worth. I had pointed out several landmarks in Schipol, where my brother could have gone, to contact members of his family, and friends. Such as the Hilton, in Amsterdam Airport.
So we tried to board my brother normally. A desk agent, refused to let my brother board.
The desk agent, stated that my brother would not be able to travel, in case he got into difficulties, and Air France/KLM would be liable.
I offered to waive any claim, and pointed out the above facts. Had the worst come to the worst. My brother would have been able to contact his family, in minutes. He would have had his passport he, knows his address, and probably would have been able to finance a flight home. Note he was more than competent to return home from Heathrow.
We requested to speak to the supervisor, and we waited more than 15 minutes. Before a supervisor decided to speak to us. I realize this was a busy time, for KLM/Air France so we waited quietly.
I showed the supervisor in question, my brothers work ID, tried to explain my brother’s condition, and asked could he board normally.
I told the Supervisor at the desk. That my brother was a healthy competent adult. I showed her my brother’s work ID. In retrospect my Fiance and myself, was probably acting like the overprotective parents of a teen. This was my fiancé’s first encounter with my brother, and someone with dyspraxia. I also note, that in the end. Myself and my fiance, accepted my brother's decision on his competence. He was prepared to be pointed in the right direction, but not carried through on a wheel chair. My brother, thought it was unnecessary.
The supervisor explained that this would be a decision of the crew. We were asked to wait half an hour, we did quietly.
When we returned, the supervisor at the desk, refused to let my brother board despite the fact that we had a ticket. We were treated to a series of excuses. My brother had paid for a ticket, to Amsterdam, and from there a ticket to London. We had also paid excess baggage. . We had complied with every request made.
This was not enough for the supervisor at the gate who also felt the need to speculate on my brothers condition, and to insist, that my brother would be turned away at the EU border? Despite the fact that my brother is an EU citizen. Why would he be turned back
I am extremely unhappy at my brother's treatment by Air France/KLM,
