Wedding Update: 9 Months to go!
Down to the nine month mark! This past month has been more thinking and visualizing rather than actually making concrete decisions and plans. I mean, we have our venue and I got my dress, the rest is a cake-walk, right?
One thing I can happily say is that I haven't been a bridezilla.
Right, Tom? RIGHT?!?!
But seriously, if I'm being completely honest, I haven't done any crazy complaining or stressing. I mean, I've watched some of those shows with crazy brides, and they totally stress me out. I can't make it more than 2 minutes before I need to either change the channel or walk out of the room.
Like, these women are nuts. And it makes me question the sanity of the chump that asked them to spend the rest of their lives together. You really want to spend each and every day with her? And then there are her friends/bridesmaids whom she treats like total garbage. How have they not ended the friendship? Why did they agree to be in her wedding? And how on Earth do they restrain themselves from punching her in the face?!
Breathe, Holliday. Breathe.
But since I haven't been stressing too much, I was so surprised when I had this crazy wedding dream/nightmare a couple weeks ago. I wrote about it here, so check out how strange it was.
I guess the one thing that hit home the most with that dream was the part about my mom not coming. I've been stressing about this the most and trying to figure out possible ways to get her down here. And then the guilt sets in.
Am I selfish for having my wedding down in Long Island instead of upstate? It has been less stressful planning it down here, and yet I feel like a horrible daughter in making it more difficult for my mom to come.
So I've been looking into finding resources in order to get mom down here:
- Her friend offered to pay for transportation down here – plane, train, whatever – so that's one less thing to worry about. Realistically, a plane would be the best way because she can't sit in her chair for more than a few hours.
- From there, we'd need to find transportation from the airport to Long Island (and vice versa when she goes home).
- We would need to have an aide with her for whenever she needed meds, to use the bathroom, and transporting between her motorized chair to bed.
- Along with the aide, the nursing home uses a Hoyer lift for these transports, so we'd probably need one of those.
Is there such a thing as renting a nursing home room or assisted living space for a night? That would be great!
On top of all this, the most important thing is keeping her stress level as low as possible. Stress exacerbates her condition, so we would need to make everything as easy on her as we could. This was actually one of the reasons we didn't hold it upstate.
No matter what we plan, in the end, her MS will rule the day and decide how she feels. So even if we did hold it upstate, there's always a chance that she may wake up that morning and feel like total garbage and be unable to attend anyways. See my dilemma?
Whew, okay, let's move on. I'm becoming a stress-ball again.
On a lighter note, I've been designing our Save the Dates. In the wedding world, they call these STDs for short; I know, weird. Tom suggested skipping the STDs…wait…ahem, let's just use Save the Dates. Come on Holliday, be mature.
You know you were thinking it too.
So Tom suggested just skipping Save the Dates and going straight to the invitations. Because we are having a wedding that has the potential for a lot of out-of-town guests, it would be a great idea to get a head count earlier than typical timelines suggest. This way we will have an idea of how many hotel rooms we might need to block, how many guests in general for ceremony and meal preparations, and how many would attend a separate reception if we held one upstate.
On top of that, we need to figure out a picture we both like to put on the Save the Dates and/or Invitations; we might need a few depending on what design we go with. Tom and I both like the Save the Date postcard idea, so if we do send STDs, we'll probably go with something like this:
Except Tom isn't a fan of the front picture. Which brings me to finding a photographer…
So an appointment had been made to meet with the photography company that works closely with our venue. Except someone (I won't name names) slept through said appointment. Normally I think this would stress me (or anyone) out, but to be honest I'm not too impressed with that company's portfolio.
Since they are based in Long Island, I wouldn't have been able to attend the original appointment anyways, since I have grad school and work during the week. I've had my eye on two other photographers whose work I find so much better, but obviously they're a bit pricier. I want the photos to be amazing, so I really don't want to skimp and end up with crummy pictures just to save a few bucks. But I also don't want to pay an arm and a leg, either.
So I made an appointment with one of the other photography companies I liked better, and I'm hoping that things will go well and we can decide to go with them. I'd also like to set up an engagement session with them. This way we can become comfortable with our photographer and we can all get an idea of what we want for the big day.
A couple weeks ago, we asked Tom's dad to take a few pictures at the beach where we got engaged since he has a pretty nice camera. We have this running joke about not wanting super awkward pictures, so I mentioned poses like the 'peering around a tree at each other' pose. So we made a point to take a picture like that for fun, knowing that it is something we want to avoid with actual engagement pictures.
Even with our desire not to get awkward pictures, we got plenty of them that day. Not because we were super pose-y or cheesey, but because it was super windy and sunny at the beach. We wanted candid, we got candid. All I have to say is watch what you wish for. Outtakes might be posted on our wedding website, so wear a diaper for that experience.
Speaking of, Tom and I got to sit down and work on the website together last weekend. Tom did most of the work while I sat next to him and made my suggestions for overall look and functions. I'm always so amazed when I watch him do stuff with computers!
How did you know what to do to fix that? How did you know to type that? Where did you learn all this stuff?!
I've learned a lot along the way because he knows how to break things down and explain them to someone who is not completely technology illiterate but is nowhere near his level of knowledge. It was a nice bonding time for us and hopefully the site will be up soon.
On top of all that, I realized that this year will be the first time we get to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas together! Tomorrow, November 17, is the three year mark since we met, but we haven't actually spent a major holiday together because of the whole 400-miles-between-us thing. We've talked over Skype on such days, but to actually be able to be with each other and share the joy that those days bring makes me really excited.
And (okay, let's get cheesy for a second) kind of emotional. I mean, you have no idea how long I've waited to be able to spend special days – holidays, birthdays, even just going out on dates – with Tom. It's crazy thinking about all the time we spent so far away, all the things we couldn't do, all the experiences and memories we couldn't share because of the distance between us.
Through the difficult times, the frustrations, the doubts, the short visits, the extreme loneliness following the short visits, and the inability to share all the good times without a screen between us. After 2 years of that, you can imagine how ecstatic I am knowing that Tom and I no longer have to endure these!
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. –Romans 5: 1-5
Yes, we will still have frustrating times; I understand that marriage does not magically take away problems. If anything, problems will be brought to light or created as a married couple spending a lot of time together. But we'll be able to work through them face to face. God seriously tested our relationship, and now we're going to be joined in marriage! And I'm pumped!
So I told Tom the other day that we might just need to get one of those cheesy "Our First Christmas" ornaments for the tree this year! And we can put one of our awkward beach photos on it. Like this one:
Or maybe something more like this:
All I know is there are plenty of awkward pictures to choose from. And all I can say is that we're a couple of awkward people. And we must embrace it.
So, to put a twist on Romans 5: 3-5,
We rejoice in our shared awkwardness because it produces our endurance to deal with each other's awkward characters. Let us hope that we can get pictures a little less awkward. If not, we have no shame because God loves us no matter what.
My Invisalign Journey (3): Getting my aligners!
You should definitely check out my previous posts about my consultation and my first appointment before reading this!
Have you done that? If not, reread the first sentence. Good? Okay, let's keep the story rolling!
So we left off with Dee (my technician, remember?) telling me that the office would let me know when my aligners were ready. I would have to wait anywhere between 3 to 6 weeks. Well, during the sixth week, I actually called the office just to inquire about my aligners. I wasn't sure if maybe they had tried calling me and for some odd reason it didn't connect. Or maybe the voicemail didn't work. Or maybe they called the wrong Holliday…you never know!
Dee, friendly as usual, told me that Dr. Jacquie had taken a look at my 3D images, made some tweaks to them, and that this was why it was taking a bit longer for my aligners to come in. Okay, as long as everything was running smoothly, I could wait an extra few days.
Lo and behold, the next day, Dee called me back to tell me my aligners were ready!!!!! I made an appointment the next day and went straight to the office after work. I didn't care that I would probably be late to my grad school class. This held much higher priority.
I was so excited to get to the office and finally get to start my treatment. It was Halloween, so all of the technicians were dressed up in different Angry Bird costumes which was pretty comical. I updated Dee on my wedding plans and showed her some pictures of my dress; she had shown me a picture of hers during my consultation. She said it was gorgeous and we kept talking about weddings, but it was hard to make serious conversation with her in that costume.
After that, another Angry Bird-esque technician led me to a room to show me my 3D images, how my teeth and bite would change, and to explain everything about the aligners (proper wear/care/etc). She told me that Dr. Jacquie actually ordered for me to have a couple more aligners than originally thought. But she also said that I would be able to keep them in for a shorter period of time; so instead of wearing each aligner for 2 weeks, I would be able to wear them for about 10 days each. So it wasn't a terrible adjustment or extreme addition of time, but man, are my teeth screwed up or what?
She pulled up my images that had been taken the last time I was there, and then showed how, with the aligners, my teeth would shift and re-align into a beautiful configuration. She showed me views from the front of both top and bottom teeth, so this is how my smile would look eventually. She then showed aerial views of the top and then the bottom teeth; it was amazing to see how crooked my teeth and jaw started and then how perfectly straight and rounded they were by the end!
My online account with Dr. Jacquie's office actually has these images and shows the progression, like a little movie! I even have the option to share on Facebook or send a link to someone who would actually care to see it. But instead, I took 4 screenshots of each view (front view and aerial views of both bottom and top) to give you an idea of the progression. The pictures show what my teeth look like at the beginning (aligner 1), how they will look in the middle of treatment (aligners 17 and 30), and what the final product will look like (aligner 46).
How freaking cool is that?! I watched the video about 5 times in a row for each view…and got so excited every time it got to the end!
The images at the office actually showed the attachments that will be put in place on my teeth for the rubberbands to fix my bite. I kind of freaked out a bit because the computer showed huge red pieces on my teeth. Umm you know I'm getting married in August, right? Oh, and, I also interact with people on a daily basis. So huge red things on my teeth will not exactly work for me.
"Don't worry, I know the screen shows them as red, but they're actually going to be tooth colored, so they won't be noticeable." Phew.
After she showed me these images, she took out my aligners from their little plastic bag and kind of explained the basics of how they are each labeled in case I mix them up. My top and bottom teeth are extremely different, so I have no trouble deciphering which is which, but I guess it was good to know. They also have the aligner number on them, so if all of my aligners at some point were to end up in a big pile, I would be able to group them with their corresponding aligner number.
She helped me pop in the bottom, had me pop in the top, and then had me pop them out to make sure I knew how to do it. It was kind of awkward and difficult because they were kind of tight, but other than that it was fine. I popped both back in and felt like a linebacker with a huge mouthguard in my mouth.
I know they're clear and they aren't as thick and huge as a sports mouthguard, but it was so foreign that I felt like my cheeks were all puffed out. She told me that it was going to feel weird at first but no one would really notice except me. "When you smile, they only make your teeth look shiny. Other than that, no one will notice."
She went through the cleaning procedure, rules about not eating or drinking anything (except water) while they were in my mouth, and what to do when I progressed to the next aligner. She told me not to throw any of my aligners away.
"When you finish with a set of aligners and are ready to move on to the next set, clean the old ones really well and throw them back in the plastic ziplock back that they come in. This way, if for some reason your teeth do shift back a bit at any point, you can match up your teeth to one of the sets of aligners and wear them again to get them back to where they should be." That makes sense!
During this entire spiel, my tongue was having a field day running along the smooth plastic of my aligners. I know that's weird, but they were just so smooth! Plus, my mouth became really dry because A) I had rushed there after work, B) I was excited, C) I kept breathing out of my mouth because I felt like I couldn't keep my mouth closed. Now, it's not that they are thick or bulky or anything, but it was just a huge difference from what I was used to, so it felt like I couldn't keep my mouth closed, if that makes sense. If not, oh well.
I was nervous about talking too; I remember one of my friends talking about how her aligners made her lisp a bit at first. "You may talk a little funny in the beginning, but your tongue will get used to them so it won't be a problem."
She sent me on my way with my first three sets of aligners, a couple tooth brushes, a travel toothpaste, and two cases for my aligners. I was very self-conscious because my mouth felt so awkward, so smiling was weird because I had no idea what I looked like.
Dee greeted me at the front desk again, asked how they felt, and set me up for my next appointment. I was told that I would be fitted for the attachments for the rubberbands at the next appointment, as well as receiving the next three sets of aligners.
So look forward to my next post about my first week with the aligners; I'll give my first impressions, any complaints, as well as tips and pointers about Invisalign.
My Invisalign Journey (2): Consultation and First Appointment
If you haven't already done so, read my first post about my Invisalign journey here!
So now that I had my consultation scheduled, I was really pumped. Normally the consultation would be free, which is great. However, mine was $75 since I did not have a panoramic X-ray of my mouth taken within the past year (or ever).
So when I walked in for my consultation, I met the technician (let's call her Dee seeing as I don't know how cool it would be to actually use names other than Dr. Jacquie. And Holliday.) that I had corresponded with over email and phone, and she was just as pleasant in person. I learned that she was planning her wedding for next September, so we bonded over that; we talked about planning and dresses and all that good stuff. She took my panoramic X-ray and then brought Dr. Jacquie to see me.
Now I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical about Dr. Jacquie. Although all of the press about her was great, I was unsure as to whether she would be some fake and impersonal woman. I mean, who knows? Maybe she let the fame (she was featured on The Tyra Banks Show) and recognition (she's an Elite Preferred Provider and in the top 1% of North American providers) get to her head.
But I was pleasantly proved wrong! The moment she walked into the room, she said she was glad to finally meet me, congratulated me on my engagement, and she was completely genuine! And she had a great smile herself.
Plus, she used creamsicle flavored gloves when she felt around my teeth and gums. Bonus!
She said that I had great teeth, my X-ray looked perfect, and they were going to not only straighten my teeth, but I had a pretty bad overbite. "You hide it well because your front top teeth are pushed back, so there isn't the obvious gap between the top and bottom teeth." She said it almost as a compliment…I was tempted to say 'thank you.' I mentioned that I had jaw pain and clicking a lot and she said that my bad bite is most likely the reason. Well, cool.
But I guess it could be worse. I could look like this dog with a crazy overbite.
So overall, my treatment would be 18 months; the first 6 months were mostly just to straighten and align my teeth. She said that they would be beautifully straight for my wedding in August! Then the last 12 months were going to focus on fixing my bite. She even explained to me how my bite had formed so unevenly using one of the fake sets of top and bottom teeth in her office. She was very clear and thorough about it and how the treatment would fix this.
Now, ironically, to fix my bite, she told me I would have to wear rubberbands connecting my top and bottom jaws. I have to say, I'm not as excited about the rubberbands as I might have been say back in middle school. I wonder if they make glow-in-the-dark ones…
They went over the price once my treatment plan was explained, including overall price and monthly payments. Now obviously everyone's treatment cost is different based upon the length of time and necessary work. My whole treatment was going to be $7500 because of the extensive amount of time with my jaw needing fixing. They could just straighten my teeth, but without the bite alignment, the teeth wouldn't sit correctly and this would compromise how straight my teeth would be in the end and could ultimately make my jaw pain worse.
She also said that since I was getting married, they would include a whitening treatment so that my teeth looked extra gorgeous for my wedding. And, they were going to give me an extra set of my last aligners so that I didn't have to buy a whole separate set of retainers at the end of my treatment. Great!
I didn't make the decision to go ahead right then and there; I wanted to talk it over with Tom before I just said, "Yeah, I'll spend $7500 on myself." They told me it was fine, that I could just call them after I had made the decision. So Tom and I talked and agreed that it would be worth the investment. I called the office right away and scheduled an appointment to create my aligners.
Fast forward one week to my first official appointment. Dee brought me into another room this time with a large computer-like contraption. This machine was going to take pictures of my teeth from all angles and create a 3D image of them. From these 3D images, Dr. Jacquie would determine how each tooth needed to be shifted, and how my bite would be fixed. The aligners would then be made using these images. (This picture is not mine, but that is the machine and how the images look during the procedure.)
How cool is that?! The procedure was a bit uncomfortable for a few reasons. First, it blows out cool air the entire time to prevent the camera from fogging up, so it dries your mouth out like crazy. Plus, I have some sensitive parts of my teeth and gums, so there were times when I wanted to cry out in pain because the cool air was killing me. Finally, your mouth has to be open uncomfortably wide for an extended period of time while they get every angle of every tooth. The molars were a killer to get good pictures of.
But it was cool seeing my two sets of teeth as 3D images on the screen when she was finished. It was annoying because they looked even more crooked and uneven without my skin to cover them up. But then again, they will be straight and pretty soon enough; that's why I was there!
She then took a bunch of pictures of my teeth and bite with an old-fashioned (old-fashioned in comparison to the large contraption I just had prodding my mouth) digital camera. I assume those will be the "before" shots for the before-and-after pictures. I can't wait to see how much my teeth change!
Dee said that it would take anywhere from 3-6 weeks to get the first three sets of aligners, but as soon as they arrived they would call me and get me an appointment so I could start my treatment ASAP.
Next post will talk about getting my aligners; I'll include the actual 3D images of my teeth, too! Get excited! I know I am!
My Dream Wedding (Literally)
So I had a very vivid and clear dream last night. It was about my wedding. And it was not something I would hope will happen on the real day…
I got in the car and the policewoman said, "I'm going back to the station, do you want a ride?"
I don't know whose cat I was holding in my lap, but it was trying its hardest to get out of my grasp. I glanced at the clock on the dashboard of the cop car.
1:35. My wedding was at 2. "I better not seeing as I am supposed to get married in 25 minutes." I was surprisingly calm despite the fact that I had less than half an hour before my wedding was scheduled to start.
I exited the car, let the cat go, and was on my way. Luckily I was already at my venue, so there wasn't any travel time to worry about. No one ever gets married on time, so it won't be terrible if we start a bit late.
When I got to the bridal suite, which was more like a wooden canopy that would double as the altar, two of my bridesmaids were waiting for me. They were going to style my hair, except I remembered I hadn't had a chance to shower yet and I'm pretty sure I had worked out earlier, so my hair was in need of more than just a curling iron and hairspray.
"I was hoping to at least use some dry shampoo," I said. But there was none available, so I just had to deal with what they were able to do.
The next thing I knew, there was a golf caddy letting us know that it was tee-time. Tom and his groomsmen had planned a golf outing before the wedding. Shouldn't they have done that much earlier? Maybe it was busy and it had to be pushed back? Hmm, I hope they play quickly and are back in time for the ceremony.
The masseuse/makeup artist then came by to my "suite"; he seemed very fabulous, although his face was kind of scary. He went over the pricing of the treatments he suggested for me, put some foundation on my face, and was quickly on his way elsewhere.
Well I guess today is all about simplicity, I thought to myself. Today is about our marriage. I guess my hair and makeup don't have to be too much. But at least I know my dress will be gorgeous.
Speaking of, where was my dress? I glanced to my right and saw it crumpled on a shelf. It still looked clean, so hopefully no one would notice if there were a few wrinkles.
All of a sudden, I saw my whole family walking into the canopy. My whole dad's side of the family was able to come, which was something I had been unsure of since the wedding was a 7-hour drive for most of them. I was so happy and started greeting them with hugs and "I'm so glad you could make it."
I then came to the sinking conclusion that my mom hadn't been able to make it. I don't remember telling her where the wedding was going to be, and therefore I don't remember her saying she would be there. I felt terrible.
At this point I was all set to go; I had my wedding dress on and all of a sudden I heard the processional music begin. Oh my gosh, I'm not even in place! Tom can't see me until I'm walking down the aisle!
So I grabbed my dad's arm and we walked around the back of the wooden canopy so that the guys could get in place at the altar. As we made our way around, there was a whole marching band that had set up on the porch of the main building and started playing and singing a happy song to get me pumped about my wedding. They were holding a banner too, although I can't recall what it said.
Wow, this is so nice! After all the chaos of the past 25 minutes, things are going pretty smoothly. And I'm excited to finally be getting married!
I glanced down at my dress as we walked. I think it looks nice! And I'm glad I worked out earlier because it fits great!
I couldn't wait to see Tom's face when he saw me. And see how handsome he looked in his tux. We made it to the aisle and started the processional. But then, about halfway down, my dad started speed walking. I tried holding his arm tighter and saying, "Whoa, where are you going? Slow down."
He broke free from my grasp and ran the rest of the way, leaving me stumbling the rest of the way. When my dad moved out of the way, I had a clear view of Tom. He was lounging in the chair I had been sitting in earlier. And he had his everyday clothes on. Jeans. Sneakers. Striped blue and white polo.
"Are you serious? Why aren't you dressed up?" I asked.
"I was just golfing," he replied. I was really upset at the fact that he wasn't taking this seriously. I then realized that my dad had been wearing a flannel shirt, cut-off shorts, and sneakers this entire time.
This isn't a freaking hoe down! This is my wedding and I can't believe no one is treating it like one!
Without saying a word, I just walked away. I walked around the back of the canopy, the way we had gone earlier to make it around to the aisle. The band and singers were all still set up on the porch, probably waiting to play some celebratory tunes when the ceremony was over. But they realized that this was not a good sign, that I was walking away without my groom in tow. They started chattering inaudibly, probably making up scenarios as to what had happened.
I walked down the busy road in front of the venue in my wedding dress and heels. God only knows what those in the cars passing by were thinking of me. I probably looked like a tragic mess. Greasy hair. No makeup. A wrinkly wedding dress.
I continued walking until I came to a beach. I went and stood in the sand and the water. Something was going on there; a bunch of large machines were floating on the water. They weren't boats but more like large metal boxes as large as buildings. A crowd began to gather, so I decided I should probably leave.
I walked back down the road toward the venue thinking that hopefully the day could be salvaged. A few speed bumps shouldn't completely bring this special day to a screeching halt. As the wooden canopy came into view, the dream ended.
Thank goodness.
Wedding Update: 10 Months to go!
A little less than 10 months to go! As much as I would like to write about all of the things we got done this past month, there honestly hasn't been many changes since my last post. But with good reason…
Long Island knows how to do weddings. I mean, it's like a wedding factory down here. And not in a bad "get in, get out, bring on the next one," wedding-a-minute type thing. But down here, it's so competitive that they are all ready to offer you as much as they can, all in one place, to make your wedding and life easier. I mean, who wouldn't want that?
Some of my friends that have gotten or are getting married upstate were/are so stressed dealing with so many different vendors because each aspect of their ceremonies and receptions was being taken care of by a separate entity. Our venue is our ceremony and reception site, is our caterer, and will be taking care of linens. So it was so exciting getting to check multiple things off the to-do list just by booking our venue.
Plus, down here most venues are partnered with photographers, cake bakeries, florists, etc. whom they have worked with and trust enough to recommend. We have an appointment in a couple weeks with the photographer they recommended, so hopefully they fit our vision. Since they have worked at our venue many times, they know all the good spots for pictures. Bottom line: nothing corny. Like these.
Pricing down here makes much more sense, too; at some of the upstate venues I looked at, it was if you were casually eating out at a restaurant and had to pay for everything separately. And I mean everything. You want chicken? That'll be $5 per person. Steak? $9. Choose your sides: you want potatoes? That's going to be another $4 per potato-eating person. And so on, and so forth.
I realize that's not how all places are up there, but there is nothing that complicated down here. You get a menu that lays out every single thing offered: you get to choose 8 hors d'oeuvres from a list of 20, then you get to choose 3 entrees (usually you choose chicken, beef, and fish) which all come with sides, you choose whether you want an open bar or just the beer/wine/signature drink choice, and so much more…and you get all this for one flat rate per person depending on what month you are getting married.
Note: June-October are the most expensive. Obviously. If you're looking for a bargain, get hitched in December or January – it's about $30 less per person! But personally I would not want to be trudging around in the cold with the possibility of snow.
So needless to say I'm extremely happy to be saved from all the stress that I've heard and seen others go through when planning their weddings. The biggest thing on my mind lately has been my dress, but I guess I wouldn't say it has been really stressing me out. Of course I want to look amazing on my wedding day, but I knew I would find one that I liked. Plus, we have 10 months; I was told to find one no later than 9 months before the wedding in order to allow time for fittings, alterations, etc.
I have been scouring websites and building up my 'Love and Marriage' board on Pinterest with dresses for a couple weeks now. Plus, my friend and maid of honor Courtney had been planning to come down this week so that we could go dress shopping with my future mother-in-law, so I wasn't too worried.
And I'm happy to say that I found my dress!!!!!!!!
There's an awesome story behind it, but I think I'll wait awhile to tell you. It's actually one of the dresses on my Pinterest board, so that's fun! I thought it was pretty when I saw it online, but it's so hardto know how a dress flows and what it feels and looks on you until it's actually on you.
All I know is that as soon as I saw it on me, I was so overwhelmed with happiness. And there were tears. I didn't get this way with any of the dresses the first time I tried some on, and I was kind of unsure as to whether I would have a teary reaction at all. But I know myself and if there wasn't a tiny bit of water works, it wasn't the dress.
And it happened. I cried. Mrs. Harrigan cried. Although she had tears for pretty much all of the dresses I had tried on previously 🙂 But that's to be expected.
I originally wasn't much into the idea of a veil, but when the lady at the bridal salon put one on me, it all just fit together. After awhile of ogling at myself, she asked if I wanted to try other dresses on. I was kind of unsure. I figured since we were already out, why not? But when she asked what style I wanted, I just looked at myself, still wearing the dress, and said, "This." She smiled and said, "So is this your dress?" And I said, "Yes, I love this." And that was it!
The biggest thing for this next month is to get the wedding website all set and looking pretty so that people can actually start using it. I've been putting content on there and trying to make it look nice, and Tom has to do more functionality stuff to make things work better and so that people can RSVP on it. Other than that, this month has been smooth sailing.
It's been nice without added stress of having to take care of so many things this past month. Especially since I wasn't with Tom (other than short Skype chats here and there) for 3 of the last 4 weeks. With work, school, my friend visiting from out of town, and Tom going to Amsterdam for a weeklong work trip, it was very hectic for both of us. But then we got to spend last weekend (and it was a long weekend for me with Columbus Day!) together, and it was wonderful. ♥
Reblogged: My husband is not my soul mate
Confession: I have had these same thoughts. Great post – and good to know before I get married! No more emotional and embarrassing letters for me…I'll be memorizing lyrics of songs instead (*wink*)
Reblogged by TheArtInLife
It might seem odd that on this, our one-year anniversary, I am beginning a post with the declaration that my husband is not my soul mate. But he isn't.
I wouldn't want to imagine life without James. I enjoy being with him more than anyone else in this world. I love him more than I ever thought you could love someone, and I miss him whenever I am not with him. I wouldn't want to married to anyone else other than James, which is good, because I plan on being married to him forever, and he has to let me die first.
But I reject the entire premise of soul mates.
Do you remember those awesome Evangelical 90's/ early 2000's where Jesus was kind of like our boyfriend and we all kissed dating good-bye because we just knew that God was going to bring us THE ONE and then life…

I'm feeling pretty stressed at the moment. Actually I don't like the word stressed. The word stressed is overused and undervalued. That being said 'I want to shut out the world, preferably by sinking slowly into a vat of chocolate ice cream' is not very succinct. So for now I'm gonna run with stressed. When I'm feeling stressed a curious phenomenon occurs - brown boxes start appearing at my door. They come at all hours of the day and they are delivered by wordless strangers; some of them are big, some of them are small and most of the time I have no idea what I will find inside them. When I am stressed I shop and because I'm a parent I do my best shopping online. I don't just shop online because of motherhood, I do it because it feels so unreal. You see the perfect picture of the pretty thing that will absolutely transform your life from abject drudgery to glossy glamour with one click. You type some magic numbers into the friendly box and then two to five days later, well to be honest, who cares what happens. I'm not really in it for the results - most of the time the item, when in my possession, only reminds me of my lack of self control and makes me feel a little nauseous. So my mission for the week was to accept I have enough without more stuff.

Weight Loss
Do you know what your weight should be? The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institute of Health has developed an online Body Mass Index (BMI) calculator that you can use to help determine where you are in relation to your ideal body weight. You can view the BMI calculator here. A BMI of 18.5 – 24.9 is considered normal. Everyone is built differently; that's why the normal BMI range is fairly wide. For example, if you're very muscular, you might end up at the high end of the range since muscle weighs more than fat. However, if you have a normal build and you're at or above the ideal BMI range, you should consider losing weight. When you're overweight, your body has to work much harder, and the extra weight also places a great deal of stress on your bones and joints.
Obesity is a growing problem in the United States, bringing with it all kinds of serious complications such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. It is largely a result of the combined effects of poor eating habits and sedentary lifestyles. As a result, weight loss has become a multimillion dollar industry; yet most people find it very difficult to lose weight.
If you have struggled with weight loss, Andrew Bora can help you! In order to lose weight, you must burn up more calories than you consume. Don't be deceived by fanciful claims you may have heard about certain fad diets– they can do you more harm than good.
Regular exercise and a healthy diet are both important. If you are motivated, Andrew will help you get on track with your workout and your diet so you can achieve the results you want!
- On average, Andrew's clients lose 1-2 pounds per week (some are able to lose even more)
- Developing lean body mass facilitates fat loss through increased metabolism
- Working with a personal trainer helps keep you motivated to achieve your weight loss goals
Here's a little experiment you can do to demonstrate how losing 20 pounds would feel. Get a sturdy bag and put 20 pounds worth of books in it. Next, assuming you are able to lift the bag without injuring yourself, pick it up and carry it around for a few minutes. That's pretty heavy, isn't it? Now put it down and feel the difference!
Don't put off getting down to your ideal weight any longer. Weight loss brings many benefits:
- Significantly reduce your risk of developing serious diseases now and in the future
- Control your health care costs
- Look great and feel younger than your real age
- Improve your agility and enjoyment of sports activities
- Enjoy being able to wear the latest clothing styles, or just the ones in the back of your closet that no longer fit

Would you share this Article with others?
CashReel, located at www.cashreel.org, is a fraudulent website. The fraudulent website, which claims that it is a global charity organization that helps its esteemed members to donate to one another and help improve the standard of living of the entire community at large, is another pyramid or Ponzi scheme. The fraudulent website tricks potential victims into registering by claiming that they can earn 100% of their money or so-called investment in 30 minutes to 7 days. But, we all know that making 100% on your investment in such a short period is virtually impossible, and why would you want to send your hard-earned money directly to someone you do not know? The answer, CashReel is a scam attempting to trick people into registering.
Online users are advised not to register with the website or become a member. And, those who are already members are asked to stop making payments to the website.
The website www.cashreel.org is considered fraudulent or a scam because they promise members or investors large profits based primarily on recruiting others to join their program, not based on profits from any real investment or real sale of goods to the public, making them appealing to people who want to make some quick cash.
CashReel is a pyramid or Ponzi scheme because they do not do any form of investments, sell products or services to make money. Instead, they take money from new members that old members recruit, to pay the same old members. If cashreel.org fails to recruit new members, they will be unable to pay old members, which will cause the scheme to crash. Once the scheme crashes, the owners will take whatever money they have collected and disappear.
The owners of cashreel.org just collect money from new members, and pay some out to old members and keep the rest for themselves. That is all they do. Once the pyramid scheme fails, new members will suffer the most, because they will not get back a single dime of their so-called investment. For the owners, it will be a big payday for them, because they would have already collected thousands or millions of dollars from their members or participants.
A pyramid or Ponzi scheme is a business model that recruits members via a promise of payments or services for enrolling others into the scheme, rather than supplying investments or sale of products or services. As recruiting multiplies, recruiting becomes quickly impossible, and most members are unable to profit; as such, pyramid schemes are unsustainable and often illegal.
In a pyramid scheme, an organization compels individuals to join and make a payment. In exchange, the organization promises its new members a share of the money taken from every additional member that they recruit. The directors of the organization (those at the top of the pyramid) also receive a share of these payments. For the directors, the scheme is potentially lucrative - whether or not they do any work, the organization's membership has a strong incentive to continue recruiting and funneling money to the top of the pyramid.
Such organizations seldom involve sales of products or services with value. Without creating any goods or services, the only ways for a pyramid scheme to generate revenue are to recruit more members or solicit more money from current members. Eventually, recruiting is no longer possible and most members are unable to profit from the scheme.

125th Street is an express station that has four tracks and two island platforms. It is the northernmost Manhattan station on the IRT Lexington Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. Located at Lexington Avenue and East 125th Street (also known as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard) in East Harlem, it is served by the 4 and 6 trains at all times, the 5 train at all times except late nights, and the <6> train during weekdays in peak direction.
A planned northern extension of the Second Avenue Subway would connect with this station and with the Metro-North Railroad's Harlem–125th Street station, located one block west.
This station opened on July 17, 1918 as part of the extension of the original subway up Lexington Avenue to 125th Street and into the Bronx.[4] Initially, service was provided only as a shuttle on the local tracks of the then-formed Lexington Avenue Line between Grand Central, continuing past this station and under the Harlem River to 167th Street on the IRT Jerome Avenue Line. On August 1, 1918, through service on the Lexington Avenue Line began. Both express trains and local trains began stopping at this station, running from Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn.[5] The extension from Grand Central cost $58 million.[6]
The opening of this station resulted in development in the surrounding neighborhood of East Harlem.[7]
In 1952 or 1953, a public address system was installed at this station, providing information to passengers and train crews.[8]
In 1981, the MTA listed the station among the 69 most deteriorated stations in the subway system.[9] This station's renovation was completed in 2005.

The station is unusual in design, as a bi-level station with island platforms but not configured in the standard express-local lower-upper configuration. Instead, the upper platform serves northbound (uptown) trains and the lower level serves southbound (downtown) trains.[6] Adding to the unusual design is the local track on each level having train doors open to the right; the express tracks likewise have doors opening to the left. North of the station, just after crossing the Harlem River, the line splits into the IRT Jerome Avenue Line (heading north) and the IRT Pelham Line (heading east). On the lower platform, each track comes from one line, and a flying junction south of the station allows trains to be diverted to the local or express track.[10] Throughout the station's history, this station has been one of the more important on the line as it is the northernmost transfer point between express trains to the IRT Jerome Avenue and White Plains Road Lines, and local trains to the IRT Pelham Line.[6]
There is an active tower at the north end of the upper platform; it is a satellite to the tower at Grand Central–42nd Street, which controls the entire length of the Lexington Avenue Line.
There are four staircase exits and one elevator exit.
- Staircase at SW corner of Lexington Avenue and 125th Street[11][12]
- Staircase at SE corner of Lexington Avenue and 125th Street[11][12]
- Staircase at NW corner of Lexington Avenue and 125th Street[11][12]
This station has a mezzanine with two separate turnstile banks. The northern turnstile bank leads to two staircases going to both northern corners of Lexington Avenue and 125th Street, and an elevator going to the NE corner of Lexington Avenue and 125th Street. The southern turnstile bank has two exits leading to both southern corners of Lexington Avenue and 125th Street.[11] The station's elevators were installed in November 1989, making the station one of the earliest to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
The station lies one block east of the Metro-North Railroad's Harlem–125th Street station on Park Avenue.[11]
A fifth entrance will be built as part of a proposed Second Avenue Subway station here. It would be located on the southern side of 125th Street in the median of Park Avenue, and an ancillary facility would be located one block south. An ancillary would also be built at the southeast corner of 125th Street and Third Avenue.[12][13]:22–23

Harlem–125th Street[14][15] is the planned northern terminal for Phase 2 of the Second Avenue Subway. It would be built underneath 125th Street, below and perpendicular to the existing Lexington Avenue Line station. The Harlem–125th Street station would be part of Phase 2, from 96th Street to 125th Street, with the next station south being 116th Street. Phase 2 would also include a station at 106th Street.[16] A station at Lexington Avenue and 125th Street was not on the original Second Avenue Subway proposed as part of the New York City Transit Authority's 1968 Program for Action; instead, a Second Avenue Subway station would be built at 126th Street and Second Avenue. The line was to be built in two phases—the first phase from 126th to 34th Streets, the second phase from 34th to Whitehall Streets.[17][18] When opened, it will initially be served by the Q train, with the T providing service when phase 3 of the line is built.
Introduction of the station to plans
In March 2007, the Second Avenue Subway was revived.[19] The line's first phase, the "first major expansion" to the New York City Subway in more than a half-century,[20] included three stations in total and cost $4.45 to $4.5 billion.[21][22] spanning from 105th Street and Second Avenue to 63rd Street and Third Avenue.[23] Phase 1 opened on January 1, 2017.[24][25]
The second phase, between 125th and 96th Streets, was allocated $525 million in the MTA's 2015–2019 Capital Plan for planning, design, environmental studies, and utility relocation.[26][27] This phase will complete the project's East Harlem section. The alignment will run under Second Avenue to 124th Street,[28] before turning west on 125th Street.[29] On October 18, 2016, the de Blasio administration announced a rezoning plan for East Harlem.[30] One of the three Special Transit Land Use (TA) districts is for the area of the 125th Street/Lexington Avenue station.[31]
On November 21, 2016, the MTA requested that the Phase 2 project be entered into the Project Development phase under the Federal Transit Administration's New Starts program.[32] On December 15, several elected officials for the area announced that they were seeking $6 billion of funding for Phase 2 of the line, including $2 billion from the federal government.[33] These officials wished to secure funding from the presidential administration of Barack Obama before Obama's term ended on January 20, 2017. In their request for funding, they cited that they wanted to avoid an uncertain response from the administration of Donald Trump and start construction on Phase 2 as soon as possible.[33] The FTA granted this request in late December 2016.[34] Under the approved plan, the MTA would complete an environmental reevaluation by 2018, receive funding by 2020, and open Phase 2 between 2027 and 2029.[35] In January 2017, it was announced that Phases 2 and 3, which are expected to cost up to a combined $14.2 billion, were on the Trump administration's priority list of 50 most important transportation projects nationwide.[36][37]
In July 2018, the MTA released a supplemental environmental assessment for Phase 2 of the Second Avenue Subway. The updated report indicated that the 125th Street station would be relocated about 118 feet (36 m) west and 20 feet (6.1 m) below what had been proposed in the 2004 FEIS, in order to reduce impacts on nearby buildings. The proposed three-track station was reduced to two tracks.[13]:12 The modification would reduce flexibility, but would allow the section under 125th Street to be mined, rather than being constructed as cut-and-cover, thereby reducing impacts on nearby buildings. Simulations showed that a two-track layout could support the same level of service that the three-track layout could have provided: 28 trains per hour. To make up for the loss of the track, the tail tracks west of the station would be lengthened.[38][39][13]:13
Current plans
When built, this platform will be the permanent northern terminal of the Second Avenue Subway. It will be five levels below street level, or two levels below the lower-level IRT Lexington Avenue Line platform.[12] The station was originally proposed to have a three-track, two-island platform layout with a mezzanine above it[40] and switches to the east of the platforms.[41] The July 2018 plans call for two tracks and one island platform, with switches both to the west and the east. The tail tracks would extend to Lenox Avenue to allow for six trains to be stored, three per track.[13]:13 This would also provide a provision for a future expansion of the line along 125th Street.[42]
Extra transfer capacity to the existing Lexington Avenue Line station would be provided as part of the construction of the Harlem–125th Street terminal.[13]:13 In its July 2018 supplemental report, the MTA indicated that it wanted to build new escalator entrances to the subway station complex on two of the corners at Lexington Avenue and 125th Street, replacing the existing entrances there. Entrance 1 would be located on the southeast corner, while entrance 2 would tentatively be located on the northwest corner, although this has yet to be confirmed. The original 2004 plans had called for entrance 2 to be located on the southwest corner, but the MTA stated that the location was comparatively small.[13]:22–23 The Second Avenue Subway station will include a new exit leading directly from the Second Avenue Line platform to the median of Park Avenue at the south side of 125th Street, allowing for a quick connection to the Metro-North station. In the 2018 report, the MTA stated that it also wanted to include a property on the intersection's southeast corner within the construction site.[16][13]:23 The ancillaries were also shifted from the locations proposed in the 2004 FEIS. Ancillary 1 and Ancillary 2, which were respectively supposed to be located at Third and Park Avenues on 125th Street, were both moved south to 124th Street. The ancillary buildings were also shifted west because the station cavern had been relocated west.[13]:24
Second Avenue Subway Community Information Center
A Second Avenue Subway Community Information Center for Phase 2, along 125th Street between Park and Madison Avenues, was originally planned to open in May 2017.[43] The center's opening was delayed to September 18, 2017.[44]

- ^ This is the station code it will have whenever it opens. This fits into the gap for the station numbering. 96th Street is 475, and 34th Street–Hudson Yards is 471, so clearly, the numbers in between are for the second phase of the SAS. 474 would be 106th Street, 473 would be 116th Street, and 472 would be 125th Street.

As promised I am going to talk about church number four. The church of Thyatira.
- Thyatira – Things Jesus liked Rev. 2:19 – I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first. Things Jesus did not like Rev. 2:20 – Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. Jesus Christ also offered a warning to the church of Thyatira. The warning was issued in Revelation 2:21-25 – 21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. 22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. 23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. 24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden. 25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
Jesus said to the church of Thyatira, that he knows their works also. He knows of their charity, service, their faith, and their patience. They are last, but they will be more than the first. Think of it like this, there is a race and some of the church members of Thyatira are in last place, but because of what they do and what they believe, they will finish ahead of other church members who are in first place. To become more than the first. Even though the church of Thyatira had many great qualities, Jesus still found things that He did not like. Jesus said that His servants are adhering to the teachings of Jezebel. Jezebel was a Phoenician princess turned "prophetess" who married Ahab a prince of Israel and as time passed, Jezebel and Ahab ruled as king and queen. During the rule, Jezebel did not accept Yahweh as God, but continued her practice of nature worship and sorcery (Satan worship). The spirit of Jezebel was allowed to endure and to corrupt some of the church of Thyatira. Not only did the servants of Christ commit physical fornication, but, my belief starts here → they also committed spiritual fornication. Spiritual fornication is as discussed in the post titled Revelation Chapter 2 Part (B). Spiritual fornication is the mixing of paganism into Christianity ← my belief stops here. The servants of Christ also ate food that was sacrificed to idols. Jesus, also issued a warning to the church of Thyatira, and He said, I have given you time to repent of your fornication, but you did not repent. Now, I am going to allow people who commit adultery with her to suffer greatly, unless they repent of their deeds.
My belief starts here → Revelation 2:22 states, that people who commit adultery with her will suffer greatly. I believe this is speaking about both physical and spiritual adultery and fornication as mentioned in Revelation 2:21. The interesting thing is that, Jesus commented on both fornication and adultery. Fornication is sexual intercourse between people not married to each other, and adultery is voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and a person who is not his or her spouse. We, as Christians are called the bride of Christ according to Revelation 19:7 which states: Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. Marriage spiritually means that we are in union with Christ Jesus, and not with another "spiritual" leader. All Christian people should believe that physical fornication and adultery are sins. Now, let's focus on the spiritual fornication and spiritual adultery. Spiritual fornication is when a Christian (married to Christ) mingles his/her beliefs with pagan beliefs. The pagan who is (married to Christ or not married to Christ). As we well know, one can live a completely pagan lifestyle, and still call herself or himself Christian. Spiritual adultery is when a Christian (married to Christ) intentionally goes and mingles his or her beliefs, with pagan beliefs because the Christian wants to satisfy some urge that she or he knows is not allowed in the body of Christ. In both instances, fornication and adultery, the acts are intentional. The key difference being, that in spiritual fornication one is a nominal Christian; and does not really have a love for Jesus Christ. It's just what she or he was raised to believe. In a sense if the nominal Christian finds another "partner" that appears more pleasing then he or she will not hesitate to pursue a relationship to see if there is something more there. In spiritual adultery, the Christian is married and loves Jesus Christ with all his heart. This Christian will not forsake the Lord Jesus Christ, but this Christian may sacrifice a belief because it does not agree with their morals. Also, in both instances of spiritual fornication and spiritual adultery it is mingling of the doctrine and testimony of Jesus Christ with pagan ideas and doctrines ← my belief stops here. The people committing this sin physically and spiritually will be punished, but they will be forgiven if they repent.
In Revelation 2:23 Jesus states, that He will kill her children with death, for He searches the reins and hearts. My belief starts here → When Jesus states that He will kill her children it does not actually mean children, what I believe it means is the followers of the teachings of Jezebel, and those who think it is okay to commit physical and spiritual adultery. The word children in this case would equal future followers of this "Christian" doctrine mingled with pagan beliefs, that have actually corrupted the teachings of Jesus Christ. In the same verse Jesus said that He searches reins and hearts, meaning that he knows what desires drive these individuals and He will give each according to his works. Revelation 2:24 is very important, as it states, that those who do not have this doctrine, and have not gone too deep into the so-called knowledge of Satan (Satan Worship) and still make their way to Christ and accept His sacrifice that He made for all. Jesus states, to these people I will put no other burden on you. Meaning that Christ is not going to expect these future followers to know everything there is to know about Christ or Christianity and how everything fits together like a jigsaw puzzle ← my belief stops here. Jesus said in Revelation 2:25, that you must hold onto what you have till I come. The next post I will discuss church number 5 which is the church of Sardis and the post will be titled Revelation Chapter 3 Part (A). Stay tuned, and as always you can follow me on twitter:

Part two of the DP edition.
Wrong video, buddy. Congrats on the engagement BTW.
Really like this one. Interesting stuff you are talking about + very relaxed atmosphere. I was there with you guys .. hmm …makes me hungry 🙂
Again a great Film Fellas 🙂
As for myself I did time at SAE college for audio engineering.
I can totally agree on that going to these schools doesn't mean you'll get a paid job straight away but its real fun and would recommend it to everybody.
This is the best Film Fellas I've seen to date. Very insightful on the nature of the industry. People envy my job now but they aren't aware of the crap you have to go through to get it. I'm forwarding this video to anyone who asks me about getting into the industry.
I would like to interject that old/new Hollywood phrase that "its not who you know, but who knows you". I have never even had to show my reel to get a job. Having gone to a pretty prestigious film school I can also say that they did not even warn us about what the work situation would be like once we graduated. All you heard about was the few that had made it BIG.
Luckily, I took a few terms off to try and see if I pounded the pavement what would happen. The job that I have today, ten years later is still due to those few terms I pounded the pavement. However, over those ten years I had lost sight of making films that I wanted to make.
Here I must put in a word for Phillip, watching his films and reading his blog has made me feel like getting back to making pieces again no matter if they're good or not, whether its with an HVX or a Harinezumi. This is where the personal truth lives.
However, I would also like to point out, that in this episode Phillip also once again gave some indication of a paradigm shift which is the percentage of work that he has gotten over the last 18 months has been due to his internet presence and I am sure also due to his internet "Presence". I mean look, how the heck did he end up on this episode. So I think that the "who knows you will always be the main way one is hired" but now being internet savvy and entrepreneurial should also be part of any serious film school's curriculum.
Thanks Philip

Twenty years ago, I was an undergrad smitten with Joyce, Wilde and Yeats. My plan was to spend that summer in Dublin studying Irish literature — and falling in love with a cozy, back-street pub, where I'd settle in every evening to drink a few pints and tinker with the terrible poems in my notebook. Maybe I'd meet a real Irish poet and fall for him too.
It was an eventful summer. I met my poet at the pub I dreamed about, where I quickly acquired a taste for Irish whiskey. Neither supersweet upfront (like many bourbons) nor smoky (like certain single-malt Scotches), it was the perfect middle path. I still loved dark, creamy stout — but a nip of stronger stuff on the side somehow made it even more delicious. Jameson's easygoing, vanilla-tinged tang — there was no too-muchness about it — was, and is, the right counterpoint to Guinness's earthy, deep, just-bitter-enough flavor and richness. It was great warm too, and not just for coffee. One woman I befriended drank only hot whiskey, even on unusually balmy Dublin afternoons. When I questioned her about this, she snapped, "You drink coffee in the summer, don't you?" By August, I didn't mind a hot whiskey at the end of the day myself.
The poet and I are still friends, and Irish whiskey has remained my unfussy, constant companion. Some whiskey snobs scoff at Jameson, but there are good reasons that it's ubiquitous (the most popular shot, by far, at most New York bars I frequent): it's mellow and friendly and easy to be around, kind of the golden retriever of spirits. But beyond Jameson (and Bushmills and Powers), Irish whiskey options in the U.S. are now plentiful: from Cork's humble Paddy (my first choice for a hot whiskey — I suspect because it has an unusually fruity, zesty flavor) to Tyrconnell (an Irish single malt that's lovely for sipping and a great value at about $35) to Greenore (a small-batch whiskey — the 8-year-old variety costs about $40 — whose pale golden hue hardly suggests the appeal it should offer bourbon drinkers). Both the 12- and 15-year Redbreast offerings (which run between $50 and $75) have plenty of spice and fruit.
If your idea of the perfect St. Patrick's Day drink order will always be a pint of stout and a neat whiskey on the side, go for it; I'll start off with the same. But Irish whiskey can also mix it up like the best of them, something I'd seldom say for Scotch, which can be overbearing. A Redbreast sour? That's a delicious way to celebrate the 17th of March.
Kingsley Amis's Irish Coffee
1 teaspoon sugar (or to taste)
4 ounces fresh black coffee
1-2 ounces Irish whiskey.
Stir together in a warmed wineglass. When it is still, pour 2 ounces of chilled double cream on top. "The cream must float on the other stuff, not mingle with it." (From "Everyday Drinking")
Hot Whiskey
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
2 ounces Paddy whiskey
3 ounces water, just off the boil
1 lemon wedge, studded with three cloves.
Stir the brown sugar and the whiskey in a heatproof glass; add the hot water. Stir again. Add the lemon wedge.
Irish Whiskey Sour
2 ounces Redbreast 12-year-old whiskey
1 ounce fresh-squeezed lemon juice
1 scant teaspoon simple syrup
A dash of Angostura orange bitters
1 teaspoon egg white (optional, for extra froth).
Fill a shaker with ice, and add all ingredients. Shake vigorously. Strain into a 4-ounce sour glass or Champagne flute (for straight up) or into a highball over ice. Garnish with a half-wheel of orange and a cherry.
The Three Greatest Irish Whiskey Songs
"Streams of Whiskey" (the Pogues): Who could resist a song that begins: "Last night as I slept/I dreamt I met with Behan"?
"Whiskey in the Jar" (traditional): A tossup between versions by Thin Lizzy, the Dubliners and Pulp.
"Whiskey You're the Devil": The best version of this traditional song is the one you sing right before the barman kicks you out.

Test Stands
Test stands are measurement assisting devices that ensure a specimen is pulled or pushed in axis with the force gauge and at a consistent speed. Test stands deliver better testing reproducibility.
A test stand has a stationary attachment point (typically at the base) and a moving crosshead, where the force gauge is attached. Most test stands can exert tension and compression loads.
Manual test stands offer better speed and direction consistency versus a handheld test stand.
Test stands generally are not considered a measurement instrument and are not reviewed for calibration.
