My letter to Warner Music
Dear Warner Music,
My name is Sarah Bertrand, and I am a 25 year old aspiring carney that has emotionally crippling issues with Christmas music. Now Warner Music, I am no Grinch. Why, I love Christmas. But when I am working, and have to listen to "Christmas Now3" basically on loop for eight hours a day, I think that's enough to make anyone go a little berserk.
As for the Pussycat Dolls version of "Santa Baby"... well you're lucky. They have eternal immunity; or at least immunity until they lose their elasticity.
Naturally 7's, "No Christmas Without You" just left a bad taste in my mouth. I'm so over sappy Christmas songs.
"The Christmas Song" was an attempt by Divine Brown to wow her meager clan of fans, when she should have just been content to be fondly remembered in our hearts as a one hit wonder with "Old School Love".
As for Brian McKnight's rendition of, "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas", I must sheepishly admit that I stopped listening; so that can't be a good sign.
I'll refrain from pointing out the irony of Keith Urban's, "White Christmas", because we're all proud of him for kicking his habit, plus I liked Moulin Rouge and his wife's a babe.
Colbie Caillat's, "Mistletoe" was dreary and dreadful; she is not capable of singing anything that isn't strongly reminiscent of that "toes, nose" song.
I believe I can safely say that everyone is over bubblegum teen carols, so Ashley Tisdale's prepubescent charm was lost on me.
Bryan Adams needs to calm down. He really does. No matter what he chooses to sing, he always sounds like he's doing a benefit concert about something whiny. Aside from that, the words to "Christmas Time" make me stabby. So stabby.
Joss Stone, Ron Sexsmith, and Tami Swick don't necessarily deserve to be heckled; they just didn't make me feel festive.
This, Warner Music, brings me to Jewel. Oh Jewel. You know, yodelling was kinda neat for a second when we felt sorry for you because you lived in a van, and when we heard it we all pictured you driving around sobbing with hairbrush raised to your weathered lips like a makeshift microphone, yodelling with the night air as your audience? Well, we're over it. Have been since you came out with that book of weirdo poetry. Yodelling has no place at Christmas time. Jewel, I know you miss being a "B" list celebrity, but my "Winter Wonderland" is one that's void of your crackily comatose voice.
KT Tunstall. I wish I could criticize past singing debackles, however I literally have no idea who you are. This being said, while trying to make it through "Sleigh Ride", you sound like you're falling asleep with a mouthful of roast beef. In addition, just so you know, it's not "hip" to sound indifferent, because in the end you're still singing a Christmas carol.
Serena Ryder. I liked your song. I know. I listened to it 37 times because I was desperate to find something I could mock, but "Calling To Say" is actually a very charming song.
Dennis De Young. Sweet sassy molassy. Are you serious? Your song, "When I Hear a Christmas Song" makes me feel so unbelievably hopeless. If I could formulate the feeling your holiday diddy evokes in my soul, I would say it can be compared to watching a movie where the main character's best friend ends up dying from some tragic and obscure illness, and as soon as they die someone bursts into the room who realizes that a cure has existed all along. Then, the main character gets word that his family has just gotten into an abhorrent and unnecessary car accident. And then you realize that it's not a movie, Warner Music; it's your real life. This song makes me feel like it's not worth waking up in the morning. I think Mr. De Young should be strongly reprimanded, and an appointment with a career councillor should be made mandatory so that he can immediately choose a different direction with his life. Perhaps mortician, so you fit in with all your "customers".
Chad Michael Stewart. You've really outdone yourself with this one. I am literally astonished that you could make a Christmas carol sound like a suicide note. There is such dispair in your voice that I feel like your tears were almost being emitted through the shoddily constructed cd player that dwells at my place of work. Then, when you don't think the barely audible swan song that you made "Silent Night" into could get any worse, you crescendoed into a boredom induced stroke to finish it off. If you hate Christmas so much, why don't you just convert to Judaism? Christmas can just pass right on by, like a fleeting case of food poisoning, and you'll never have to think about it again. Consider it?
Hawksley Workman. You were always pretty bad ass. "Smoke Baby" was a solid song, and "No Reason to Cry Out Your Eyes" was great. I'm just curious though: in "Merry Christmas (I Love You)", were you drinking during the song, or did you just get hammered before?
Last, but certainly not least, I come to Red Hot Chili Peppers, with "Deck The Halls". I don't get it. And it's scary. I really am at a loss, it's such a ridiculous song.
Warner Music, I'm sure by now we both see eye to eye on your Christmas CD fiasco. I don't think I'm being unreasonable in demanding retribution. Although I didn't personally purchase this CD, I feel like I've been robbed of a lot more than money. My sanity, and patience. I demand $20 for having to put up with this Yuletide malarky, and a written apology from you, and every single artist on this CD. Minus Serena Ryder. I thank you for your time, and look forward to an immediate response, and subsequent presents.
Sarah Bertrand

(RxWiki News) The ability to live and function independently is a big concern for seniors. A recent study found a simple way to help improve the quality of life in their later years.
Researchers looked at the correlation between the quality of a person's diet and the ability to perform the activities of daily living years later.
The study suggested that a good diet now can contribute to a good quality of life later.
"Work with a nutritionist to set up a healthy diet plan."
This study was conducted by Bamini Gopinath, PhD, from University of Sydney in New South Wales, Australia, and colleagues.
The research study examined the diets of people who had participated in The Blue Mountains Eye Study. The research team conducted surveys for their diet study on 3,654 people at the beginning of the study, as well as five, 10 and 15 years later. After five years, 2,334 people were available for follow-up surveys, 1,952 were available at 10 years and 1,149 were available after 15 years.
The researchers collected information on the participants' diets at all time points and used the data from years five and 10 in their analyses.
Total diet scores were assigned to the food eaten. The researchers divided the diet scores into four groups, from highest to lowest. The highest scores indicated the best quality diets, and the lowest scores were assigned to the lowest quality diets.
Subjects were given a survey to assess their quality of life five years and 10 years into the study. They recorded their activities of daily living after 10 and 15 years. Some examples of daily living activities on the survey were eating, walking, shopping and housework.
Analysis of the quality of life data showed that the people who ate the lowest quality diet were more likely to be men. In the group who ate the lowest quality diet, 49.9 percent were men, while 32.1 percent of the group with the best diet quality were men.
In the group that completed the activities of daily living surveys, 52.5 percent of the people who ate the lowest quality diet were men, and only 32.7 percent of people who ate the highest quality diet were men. There were more smokers who ate the lowest quality diet at 9.1 percent, compared to 3.1 percent in the high quality diet group.
When the researchers looked at the association of diet quality at the start of the study with quality of life at five years, they found that physical function, general health and vitality were all improved in those in the highest diet quality compared to the lowest diet quality group.
After five years, people who ate the highest quality had a 50 percent decrease in the odds of not being able to perform the activities in the instrument of daily living, compared to people who at the lowest quality diet.
The researchers speculated that the higher diet quality — usually associated with eating higher amounts of vegetables, fish, fruit and whole grains — may have decreased proteins seen in inflammation. These inflammatory proteins have been reported to lower a person's ability to perform some physical activities in later life. They also hypothesized that the antioxidants in the fruits and vegetables eaten in the high quality diet group may have help prevent the decline in physical ability.
"These findings could stimulate targeted intervention strategies that modify dietary practices of the aging population, thereby potentially preserving or delaying further deterioration in general well-being and physical functioning," the authors concluded.
This study was published in the February issue of the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
The Australian National Health and Medical Research Council funded The Blue Mountains Eye Study.
The authors did not disclose any conflicts of interest.

House Taxation has five bills on Thurs Feb 5
On Thursday, February 5th, at 7:45 AM the SD House Taxation committee will take on 5 bills.
HB 1115 – SoDakLiberty Posts – Increase the maximum property tax levy for the pension fund of a school district.
Rep Jim Bolin (R, Dist 16) and Sen Jim Peterson (D, Dist 4) are the prime sponsors. This would increase the max property tax levy from thirty centers per thousand dollars of taxable valuation to thirty-five cents per thousand dollars of taxable valuation.
HB 1193 – SoDakLiberty Posts – Lower the state sales and use tax on certain food items and to increase the rate of taxation for the sales and use tax on certain goods and services.
Rep Ray Ring (D, Dist 17) and Sen Bernie Hunhoff (D, Dist 18) are the prime sponsors. This is a bill to get rid of sales tax on food, and raise sales tax in other areas to make up the difference. The list of what doesn't count as food has the following additions: soft drink, candy, dietary supplement, and food sold through a vending machine. It would appear the sales tax in other areas would be increased thirty-five hundredths. This is a bad bill. Yes, many people consider sales tax, especially on food, to be regressive. That is exactly why the sales tax on food needs to stay. The regressive nature of including food in sales tax means there is a built-in safety mechanism to prevent the legislature from passing higher sales taxes. If the legislature tried to raise sales tax a percent or two there would be a great amount of backlash from working families in South Dakota. That backlash needs to exist to keep government size and scope kept at conservative levels.
SB 19 – SoDakLiberty Posts – Revise certain provisions regarding references to the Internal Revenue Code.
This bill passed Senate Taxation and the Senate floor with no opposition.
This bill is at the request of the SD Department of Revenue (DOR). It changes several references of federal tax code from Jan 1, 2014 (and 1997 in a couple of references) to Jan 1, 2015. This is a standard bill to make sure current federal law is referenced in SD code correctly.
SB 20 – SoDakLiberty Posts – Revise the age that a manufactured home or mobile home will be considered real property.
This bill was amended in Senate Taxation, the amendment just pointed to another part of code that defined mobile home. It then passed Senate Taxation and the Senate floor with no opposition.
Another DOR bill. Current law states that a 1977 or newer manufactured home is real property. This bill would change that to 1950 or newer. I am curious as to why this change is being made.
SB 21 – SoDakLiberty Posts – Revise the income guidelines for the paraplegic property tax relief program.
This bill passed Senate Taxation and the Senate floor with no opposition.
One more DOR bill. This one would change the income guidelines for the paraplegic property tax relief program. For instance the current lowest tier for a single-member household to get 100% tax reduction is an annual income of $5000 or less; this bill would make it $11,670 or less. I'm not sure how utilized this program is or how much money the state spends on it. I need to listen to the testimony and hear much more info before commenting on it.

Virginia 46.2-862 Reckless Driving Statute
§ 46.2-862. Exceeding speed limit.
A person shall be guilty of reckless driving who drives a motor vehicle on the highways in the Commonwealth (i) at a speed of twenty miles per hour or more in excess of the applicable maximum speed limit or (ii) in excess of eighty miles per hour regardless of the applicable maximum speed limit.
Virginia 46.2-852 Reckless Driving Statute
§ 46.2-852. Reckless driving; general rule.
Irrespective of the maximum speeds permitted by law, any person who drives a vehicle on any highway recklessly or at a speed or in a manner so as to endanger the life, limb, or property of any person shall be guilty of reckless driving.
Virginia 46.2-865 Reckless Driving Statute
46.2-865. Racing; penalty.
Any person who engages in a race between two or more motor vehicles on the highways in the Commonwealth or on any driveway or premises of a church, school, recreational facility, or business property open to the public in the Commonwealth shall be guilty of reckless driving, unless authorized by the owner of the property or his agent. When any person is convicted of reckless driving under this section, in addition to any other penalties provided by law the driver's license of such person shall be suspended by the court for a period of not less than six months nor more than two years. In case of conviction the court shall order the surrender of the license to the court where it shall be disposed of in accordance with the provisions of § 46.2-398.
Most people are shocked that if you do donuts in a parking lot, you can be charged with reckless driving in Virginia. If you spin your tires, you can be charged with reckless driving in Virginia. Keep in mind that in Virginia, reckless driving is not a traffic offense. It is a criminal offense. Virginia has some of the strictest driving laws in the entire country. Be very careful about violating the different Virginia driving laws.

As an added bonus, the following is a federal statute you might find relevant.
A national bank may fulfill its obligation to disclose information on the source and amount of remuneration, required by § 12.4, for mutual fund transactions by providing this information to the customer in a current prospectus, at or before completion of the securities transaction. The OCC's view is consistent with the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as provided in a no-action letter dated March 19, 1979, which permits confirmations for mutual funds to refer to the sales load disclosed in the prospectus. See Letter to the Investment Company Institute, reprinted in [1979 Transfer Binder] Fed. Sec. L. Rep. (CCH) 82041 (Mar. 19, 1979). The OCC would reconsider its position upon any change in the SEC's practice.
(a) In appropriate situations, a national bank may satisfy the written notification requirement under§§12.4 and 12.5 through electronic communications. Where a customer has a facsimile machine, a national bank may fulfill its notification delivery requirement by sending the notification by facsimile transmission. Similarly, a bank may satisfy the notification delivery requirement by other electronic communications when:
(1) The parties agree to use electronic instead of hard-copy notifications;
(2) The parties have the ability to print or download the notification;
(3) The recipient affirms or rejects the trade through electronic notification;
(4) The system cannot automatically delete the electronic notification; and
(5) Both parties have the capacity to receive electronic messages.
(b) The OCC would consider the permissibility of other situations using electronic notifications on a case-by-case basis.
This part applies to national banks that have filed notice as, or are required to file notice as, government securities brokers or dealers pursuant to section 15C of the Securities Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78o-5) and Department of the Treasury rules under section 15C (17 CFR 400.1(d) and part 401).
(a) Bank that is a government securities broker or dealer means a national bank that has filed notice, or is required to file notice, as a government securities broker or dealer pursuant to section 15C of the Securities Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78o-5) and Department of the Treasury rules under section 15C (17 CFR400.1(d) and part 401).
(b) Customer does not include a broker or dealer or a government securities broker or dealer.
(c) Government security has the same meaning as this term has in section 3(a)(42) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(42)).
(d) Non-institutional customer means any customer other than:
(1) A bank, savings association, insurance company, or registered investment company;
(2) An investment adviser registered undersection 203 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80b-3); or
(3) Any entity (whether a natural person, corporation, partnership, trust, or otherwise) with total assets of at least $50 million.
A bank that is a government securities broker or dealer shall observe high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade in the conduct of its business as a government securities broker or dealer.
In recommending to a customer the purchase, sale or exchange of a government security, a bank that is a government securities broker or dealer shall have reasonable grounds for believing that the recommendation is suitable for the customer upon the basis of the facts, if any, disclosed by the customer as to the customer's other security holdings and as to the customer's financial situation and needs.

So you know women have a higher life expectancy rate than men, right? Some "experts" might try to tell you that men don't live as long due to one or more of the following reasons:
- Men generally have higher levels of testosterone, insulin, and other anabolics that cause oxidative stress.
- On average, men consume more tobacco, alcohol and drugs.
- Men tend to be more aggressive, and thus more likely to encounter violence.
- Men take more risks when they drive cars or motorcycles.
- Men only have one X-chromosome, which makes them more prone for X-linked hereditary diseases.

It's glorious out!
Bruce and I have been enjoying a quiet day at home. It feels so good not to go anywhere! I've been cranking through loads of laundry and some church-related work.
I heated up a big bowl of leftovers for lunch.
I turned the sandwich thins and meatballs into a meatball sandwich! All delicious.
It's been nice to relax, but I'm off and running again! I have a meeting with some friends about their wedding in May and then it's back to school for performance #2!
Happy Almost-Spring!

Credit: GRusso /LEGO Ideas
The Hubble Space Telescope is an iconic spacecraft responsible for almost a quarter of a century of astronomical discoveries and stunning stellar images.
As such, it is due time for it to be immortalised as a Lego model.
At least that is the idea of Gabriel Russo, a Lego fan and admirer of the orbiting observatory, who designed a Lego brick version of the space telescope and uploaded it to the Danish toy company's social website, "LEGO Ideas."
And judging by the number of supporters Russo's Hubble has recruited to date, just over 6,300 at press time, he is far from the only person who thinks it is a good idea.
"A Lego model of this amazing piece of space engineering would come as a perfect homage to its 25th anniversary in 2015," Russo wrote as a part of his model's description on the website.
LEGO have also recently celebrated the anniversary of the Moon Landing in LEGO.
The build in the picture took around 2-3 weeks for building techniques.
The "Moon" was just a grey blanket made similar to the Luna ground.
This set will include the Brick-Built version of the "Eagle" also known as the "Luna Lander", Neil Armstrong with his unique printed face and a removable helmet and a clip on chrome gold visor, Buzz Aldrin also with his unique printed face and a removable helmet and a clip on chrome gold visor and last but not final...Michael Collins, Again with his unique printed face and a removable helmet and a clip on chrome gold visor.
Angus MacLane's character Wall-E produced by LEGO.
LEGO Ideas, which was previously known as CUUSOO, invites Lego fans to share their proposals for new brick-built models.
Other fans and the public can then cast their votes on the website for their favourite ideas.
The concepts that successfully attract 10,000 supporters are considered by the toy company for commercial distribution.

Bayern Munich chief, Uli Hoeness to serve jail term as prosecutors nix appeal
Last Updated: Monday, March 17, 2014, 16:32
Public prosecutors said in a statement that they did not plan to contest the three-and-a-half-year prison term handed down last week to Hoeness, 62.
Hoeness was sentenced on Thursday for cheating the state out of 28.5 million euros ($39.5 million) after a four-day trial that riveted football-obsessed Germany.
He admitted hiding his wealth in secret Swiss bank accounts while obsessively "gambling" on stock and currency markets for years before seeking to come clean in return for immunity from prosecution.
After the verdict was handed down, he walked out of the courtroom in the southern city of Munich pending an initially-planned appeal.
But a day later Hoeness announced he would forego appealing the sentence, resigning from his posts as president and board chairman of the champion club where he spent four decades.
The prosecution, which had called for a longer jail term, had also been considering an appeal.
"The Munich II public prosecutor`s office will, in the criminal proceedings against Ulrich Hoeness over tax fraud, not file an appeal against the verdict," its statement said.
No date has been set yet for Hoeness to begin his jail term, but it is expected to start in the next few weeks.

Hidden Household Germ Hotspots
As we're going through doing the spring cleaning, here are a few hidden places where germs like to hide.
We have wooden floors in our house and a linoleum floor in the kitchen and bathrooms, so there are a few spots where we keep rugs to catch dust and dirt from the outside. Did you know that germs like to grow under those rugs? Neither did I. I do roll up the rugs and shake them outside just to put the sand and dirt back into its natural habitat, but have you ever vacuumed the underside of the rug? That's where the real dirt and germs like to hang out. All you have to do is just flip the rug over and vacuum the underside really well to get it out of there.
Have you ever thought about what kind of germs are hanging out on your credit card? How many times per day do you handle it and have you ever thought about how many other people handle your card and how many other cards they're handling? Not everyone is as good as you are at washing their hands. Once, I watched a cashier cough into her hand, wipe her nose and then take my credit card. Ew. Every now and again it's a good idea to give your credit cards a rub down with an alcohol wipe. Really get in those grooves around your name and the numbers. Same goes for your phone.
I took a look at the inside of the trash can in my house the other day and I just about heaved right into it. If the inside of your trash can is a little iffy, this is a project best done outside in the driveway or patio. Take a bleach based spray and spray the can down inside and outside and let it stand for 10 minutes or so and then hose it down well and allow the can to air dry before you put another trash bag inside. It's also a good idea to do the same thing for your recycling bin.
What's on top of your refrigerator? How about under it or behind it? Yikes! When we were buying our house, we had an inspection done and the inspector kept saying over and over again, "You don't know how these people lived" in a somewhat alarming fashion. The more we cleaned, the more we realized he was cautioning us because when we pulled out the refrigerator, we found a taco underneath it and about an inch of dust and grease on top and eight years worth of crud behind it. It's a good idea to wipe the whole thing down when you do the surface and the handles. Vacuum behind it and use a grease cutting cleaner on the top. It's shocking how much stuff accumulates up there.
For some reason, every time Glen uses my vacuum cleaner, it makes the most God awful noises. I don't know if he does this on purpose or what, but at least he's vacuuming. The last time I told him to turn it off and unplug it because I knew exactly what was wrong. Do you have pets or long hair? Have you ever turned your vacuum over to look at the brushes? It's amazing how much stuff gets tangled in there. Make sure it's off and unplugged and take a scissors and cut out the tangles. Check your owners manual for exactly how to clean any other pieces, parts and attachments.

A while back we finally gave in a went to an Indian Casino buffet for dinner. It only took 4 years of everyone telling us to give it a try.
As we were exiting the restaurant a Pow Wow was letting out.
"Hey Mommy! Hey Daddy! Look at all the cwowns!"
(Whispering) "Those aren't clowns, they're Native American Dancers."
"No they're not. They're cwowns! Wow! I weally like their cwown costumes!"
(Still whispering) "See all the feathers on their heads? Those are called headdresses. Clowns don't wear feathers."
(Hissing at J) "Stop laughing and walk faster!"


text: We need to prioritize. Some crimes we jail people for are less dangerous to society. Ultimately, we need to solve the issues that create crime and the conditions that lead to it. We need to begin with a blank slate and find solutions to the whole problem. Prison is only one aspect, although perhaps the most costly. I imagine the entire cost to society, including the entire criminal justice system, police and the victims themselves, is large enough to justify a rethink.

By Walter F. Roche Jr.
Several years after it first came due, the wife of a well-connected Knoxville developer has paid off a $1 million loan from the father of Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam.
Records at the Nantucket Registry of Deeds in Massachusetts show the Haslam loan to Ann Furrow, wife of Samuel F. Furrow of Knoxville, was just recorded as satisfied last month.
The elder Haslam loaned the $1 million to Ann Furrow in 2011 during the same time period Sam Furrow and a group of investors were trying to sell an office building to the Pellissippi State Community College at a substantial profit.
The Furrow group purchased the Strawberry Plains building for $5 million and ultimately sold it the community college for $10 million in 2012.
The notice of satisfaction of the one-year loan comes some four years after it was originally due in June of 2012. Records at the Nantucket deeds office show the only recorded activity on the loan in the interim was a June 4, 2013 agreement by the elder Haslam to subordinate his interest in the property to a bank loan.
As first reported by the Tennessean, the purchase of the office building came despite the need for extensive repairs estimated at as much as $16.6 million.
In response to questions posed at the time, the governor, through a spokeswoman, said he was unaware of his father's loan to Ann Furrow. The collateral on the loan was a Nantucket property at 112 Baxter Road owned by Ann Furrow. Samuel Furrow transferred his interest in the property to his wife prior to the Haslam loan.
Dave Smith, spokesman for Gov. Haslam, said Monday the governor was not aware that the loan had been paid off.
Samuel Furrow, when asked about the sale to Pellissippi, described it as "clean as a whistle."
The loan was not the only Haslam interest on the Massachusetts resort island. Cleveland Browns owner James A. Haslam 3rd, brother of the Tennessee governor, owns an oceanside property on the island which has been up for sale for over a year. The current asking price for the home at 37 Sankaty Head Road is $9.99 million, according to real estate listings.

Last night, by the end of the night I was as close to a basket case as I have ever been in my life. All of the things we have been given had just finally taken their toll on me and I found myself just crying not knowing what to do or how to fix any of it. Extremely overwhelmed with the good intent of others that call or email you with suggestions or those sorts of thing but not being able to do much other than say thank you or just kind of listen to them tell you how you should handle a situation that they are not themselves living. Both Hugh and I know it is all well intended and their attempt to help and try alleviate or "fix" our current circumstances. However, Hugh and I both know that sometimes there are things that just can't be fixed and that there are others that come in God's time and not ours and advice and suggestions will not move the process along any faster or take away the pain, lack of understanding, or general frustration away and may in fact make it worse.
I sat here this morning during my 4am wake up call that I tend to have either for no reason or just way to much going on in my head. Part of me was seeking a way to understand it myself and to explain it to others on a level that they could comprehend. Often times I don't understand it myself and when asked how someone can help,often times I don't know the answer. All of a sudden it hit me and I thought of a moment in my life that was a little more understandable that related to our situation in an abstract way.
A few years ago when my grandmother was alive we were attending a baby shower for my cousin's wife. My grandmother had dialysis that day. For anyone who doesn't know much about dialysis it is an exhausting and draining process for the individual undergoing it and although it sounds simple it truly is not. My grandmother was living proof of that, she went from a strong independent woman to a woman who had to learn to depend on others and truly fight to find it in herself to wake up in the morning and endure more that she felt she had in her to do. By the end of her life she was very tired and I was blessed to have been able to be there for her and have a very personal and unique relationship with her where we talked about these sorts of things I got to see the human part of her, not the part that was always put on a pedestal by so many others. She knew she never had to pretend around me and could be honest and weak when she needed to be without feeling guilt or a need to keep it together.
That day she felt a huge obligation to show up to the baby shower and was brought in via wheelchair to do something she wanted to do but something she just had no energy to do. She kept it together for everyone yet could barely keep her eyes open and struggled to just sit in the chair. Those around her bustled around doing all the baby shower stuff. They recognized she needed to eat and felt that it would help her to get back to "herself" again. My aunt got her a plate of food and placed it in front of her and returned to participating in the baby shower festivities. I remember sitting there watching my grandmother sit in a room full of people with a plate of food right in front of her.
Every part of her knew she needed to eat but she was so drained and tired. Those around her kept doing what they were doing knowing she was "taken care of" food wise without ever realizing she was not actually eating. Someone else returned with a drink after noticing she was not eating. Cake time came and she had cake in front of her too. Now there were many options in front of her. She had tried several times to eat but her hands were so shaky and she was lucky to be able to even get her hand on the table. Not only was she not eating she was not drinking or even touching cake(her absolute favorite thing).
I remember moving to the seat next to her and discreetly asking her if she wanted to eat and she said yes. I asked her if she could eat and she just looked up at me with much pain and sadness in her eye(she had lost one to cancer but the one she did have spoke volumes) and no other word needed to be spoke. I picked up her fork without making a scene and cut the food and began to help her eat and drink. Without saying anything, I knew she was grateful and there was nothing else needed. We would take a break to get a drink and I allowed her to do some of it once she was feeling a little stronger. There were times I had to help her out again and did not leave until she was full. She eventually stayed long enough to feel as if she had completed her task there and was taken home. Often times during her hospital stays this was also the case when they would drop her food off to her...she would have to wait for someone to come help her and if no one did she did not eat or would try to eat and just get frustrated.
How does that pertain to our situation? People will call or suggest things that even though they are right in front of us we just don't have the energy or ability to do right now. Life for both of us has become very draining. No matter how much we may want to do it sometimes we just can't do it. We logically know these steps need to be taken but sometimes just don't have it in us to do it or really are not capable at this time. The overwhelming feeling of sadness as you watch it there in front of you but not be able to do anything with it becomes such an emotional thing and painful reminder of the things you know you should do but cannot do. It is not laziness or self pity by any means it is just really not being able to handle anymore due to sheer exhaustion.
That also does not mean that we feel that it is someone elses responsibility to fix our situation for us. We know we have to be a participant, just like my grandmother had to eat her food, I could not do that for her and I also gave her the opportunity to do what she was able to do but still staying by her side to help as she would tire again. I find that people will ask us how things are and we have just gotten in the habit of saying fine because we know they don't really want to know or they themselves are overwhelmed by our situation. Somewhere in there they feel as if we are asking them to fix it for us when in fact we really just wanted to share with them the very thing they asked, how we are doing.
We aren't asking you to pay our bills or feed our family or take away our pain, we are just asking you to listen. There are those who will opt to help out in their own way and that is greatly appreciated. However, we never tell someone that we are having a bad time in the expectation of getting something in return. Hugh and I both have come to know who we can now be honest with and those who we just need to say everything is fine to. We have had conversations with several family or friends who we were talking to and they made it quite apparent they had no money and could not help out when in fact that was never the intent of the conversation! When you are in that situation it really makes you feel worse than you did at the beginning of it all.
This also lead me to think of helping others and how the word charity has truly been turned around by society from it's original meaning. I am pasting in a response I posted to another blog page when someone posted about the fact that they were having a hard time taking help from others after being the one for so many years to give help. Due to their current circumstances they found themselves in very unfamiliar territory. This made me think of Hugh and I and how the two of us were always like that and how after Josh's first seizure much of that changed and we had to learn how to accept help. For us this has had to continue much longer than we anticipated and often time we have received judgmental attitudes and criticism for choices and things in our lives that others don't understand because it did not happen to them.
Unfortunately for us life happens to us. We are not the people who plan things in life and they just happen the way we anticipated them to be. There are those out there who are fortunate enough to be able to do that but life just doesn't work that way for us no matter how hard we try. Little do most people realize we aren't the ones in control. At the time we made a decision it was done with the best intent and was the right decision at that moment. That is not to say a second later we did not realize it was not the best choice or that it was not going to work out as planned. We cannot predict the future and as long as a poor decision was not made with malice or intent of hurting someone than it is something we will have to learn from and move on from. Sometimes we don't realize it at the time, but some of the worst situations and poor decisions were actually in fact the best thing to ever happen to us and actually creates something much better than we even had planned!
Below is my response and I hope that this particular blog gives you a better understanding for those who you just may not know how to help or understand why they aren't doing something that just seems so simple and easy to you.
My Response:
Unfortunately in modern days the word charity has taken on a new meaning. Here is the old school and new school version of the word taken from Wikipedia.
In Christian theology charity, or love (agapē), means an unlimited loving-kindness toward all others.
The term should not be confused with the more restricted modern use of the word charity to mean benevolent giving.
I think often in times like these it is hard to look at charity as a blessing and showing of love due to the modern day use of the word. You are learning lessons that you never would have been able to and you are also giving a gift. Think of the moments that you were the giver and how wonderful you felt to be able to help another human being in a time of need. You are now blessing someone else with that gift and teaching them lessons in life you are not aware of. Never is this a one sided thing…both the giver and receiver are actually doing both! I have personally found that it is our pride and societies views often times that gets in the way of the reality of it all. It always feels better to be the one giving but also think of those feelings of gratefulness you do feel and other emotions you are given because they now give you a better appreciation for those you helped out so many times yourself and can see first hand how they felt. You are now given the gift of truly knowing first hand what true thankfulness is all about and there will be a time where you will be able to give again in that capacity but for now you will need to find a way to give in other ways.
Recently, we lost our 4 month old son and it was my children who actually taught me a very important life lesson. My oldest went to a grief camp and upon the completion of his weekend there he told me he wanted to donate to the camp to help other children. Both my husband and I would love to have just been able to write a check to make that possible but it just was not something we could do. It was then that my 11 year old said to me, can't we just do a fundraiser mom…someone was there for me and I want to be there for someone else. Needless to say we put together a fundraiser for this camp. Initially people criticized this decision saying our family was financially not in a place to do this sort of thing. Finances have nothing to do with charity and compassion and I found that out first hand when my boys raised over a thousand dollars and got tons of in kind donations for this organization. After the fundraiser I learned that we all have a chance to give even when we do need to receive in other aspects. If you feel the need to still give than find another outlet there is always someone in need of even just a listening ear and that can be a huge gift!

So I almost died on my way to work this morning.
Okay, died is probably a bit of an exaggeration...
But someone did almost hit me because he wasn't paying attention to what the *$#% he was doing. Good thing I was or there would have been some serious damage done, and one or both of us would have ended up under the semi in front of us. Ugh. Idiots.
Along those same lines...
Every day on my way to/from work this week (which has only been three days!) I have gotten stuck behind someone doing at least ten miles under the speed limit. I generally go between five and ten over so to get stuck behind a person driving slower than my grandma makes me want to punch everyone. Wednesday was possibly the worst because I was 8-10 cars behind the car that was driving so slow and no one would go around so I was stuck way in the back doing 40mph when the speed limit was 55. I have zero patience for those people. I can understand driving slow when the weather and/or roads are bad. That's acceptable. But the roads have been clear for days and it hasn't snowed or rained!
Okay, I'm done ranting...for now.
Anyhoo, I joined a friend of mine in her 2013 hundred book challenge. Basically the goal is to read 100 books over the course of the year. I'm already betting I don't even get close to that, mainly because of school and work cutting into my recreational reading time. But it gives me a goal to work toward.
As I told you all yesterday, I started reading The Hunger Games a couple days ago, so that's book #1. I'm over half way finished with it already. I'm guessing I'll have it done sometime before the weekend is over and get started on book #2 (which is also book 2 in the series) Catching Fire.
At some point I think I'm going to sort my books by what I've read and what I still need to read. And that will give me a good starting point for the 100 book challenge. Also, just fyi, I'll be documenting/keeping track of what I'm reading on here because I don't really have anywhere else to do that except for a notebook and that's boring :)
Tomorrow evening Chris and I will be going to the Fox to see Wicked. I'm so excited. This will be my third or fourth time seeing it. It is by far my favorite musical (although to be fair, I'm kind of obsessed with anything to do with The Wizard of Oz and the like). I have no idea where we're sitting, but I don't really care too much. I'm just happy I get to go again. We're also planning on doing dinner before hand, but I don't know where we're going to go. Anyone know of some good restaurants near the Fox?
If you forgot like I did, IT'S FRIDAY!! Yes, having a three-day work week totally threw me off and yesterday felt like Wednesday. But it's Friday! The bad news is that I won't be getting paid until next Friday. Going two weeks without a paycheck kind of sucks. The good news is that I finally got reimbursed for my mileage when my boss and I drove to St. Louis back in November for the launch of Proud to Be. And they did direct deposit rather than mailing me the check so it's already in my account. Yay!
Enjoy the weekend everyone!
PS If any of you book nerds want to join the Challenge, let me know! :)

TMAP consists of a set of utilities, combined into one command line program called tmap. Each utility is specified by a unique name or command. Specifying TMAP without a command will give a list of commands, while specifying TMAP with a command but no options will give a list of options for that command.
There are two steps in mapping with TMAP. The first step is to build an index of the reference genome onto which we map. This index needs only to be built once for each genome, performing much of the mapping work upfront. The second step is to map the reads to the reference genome using this index.
TMAP is implemented as a command-line program. It accepts many command-line options to customize and tune the mapping algorithm. The key commands are organized into one binary program called tmap. To access each command, we use tmap <name>, where <name> is the name of the command we wish to execute.
Guía de uso
