Editor's note: This is part 1 of a 3-part series on controlling and dominating spouses. Today's article discusses how to identify such a husband or wife.
Marriages become distressed for a variety of reasons. In our turnaround weekend for crisis marriages, we see them all; infidelity, addiction, poor communication, lack of love, anger, and more. One of the most common difficulties leading couples to us is one spouse controlling or dominating the other.
Some controlled or dominated spouses finally had enough and decided not to take it any longer. They took a stand and made it clear that if things do not change the marriage will soon be over. Others fell into an emotional relationship with someone who treated them with dignity and respect. All have one thing in common: they demand a different life than the one they have been subjected to in their marriages.
Though in actuality the marriage has been in trouble for some time, the other spouse did not recognize the severity of the problem. From our workshops, we know that most controlling or dominating spouses have little comprehension of how their actions affect their spouses. As they become aware of their husband or wife's negative reactions to them, they typically justify their behaviors by explaining their intentions. We often hear them say things such as:
"I thought I was helping by pointing out things she could do better."
"I admit that I can be a little harsh in the way I say things, but that's just the way I am. He knew that when he married me. I never meant to make him feel bad about himself."
"If I didn't control the money, she'd send us into the poor house. If I let her do what she wanted, our kids would be wearing hand-me-downs."
"Isn't it fair for me to say what I think? I was only standing up for what I believe and I can't help it if that offends him."
"I think I have a right to have her take care of me and my needs rather than always running off to do any and everything her family wants from her. I wasn't controlling; I was trying to make my marriage work."
From their viewpoint, they did nothing wrong. However, their spouses feel anger, resentment, and sometimes bitterness because of the way they have been treated.
Because this problem prevails in so many marriages, I placed a survey online for people who feel that their spouses control or dominate them. Though not exhaustive, the survey indicated at least nine areas in which people feel controlled or dominated by their spouses. Unfortunately, only females responded to the survey. Therefore, all quotes in the next section are from women. However, we know from our work with marriages that situations exist where the wife dominates or controls the husband.
Because so many controlling or dominating people tend to dismiss complaints from their spouses, I supply the quotes below with two goals. First, I wish to demonstrate to those who feel controlled that they are not alone and that they should not dismiss their frustrations as selfishness or misunderstanding. Second, I give examples of how several different people feel controlled in hopes of creating awareness of the dominating spouse of how his/her actions are perceived.

Ways That Spouses Control
My Spouse Tries to Control What I Do Or Wear
Writing about her current husband, one respondent stated, "He makes choices for me including the food I eat."
Referring to a former spouse, another respondent wrote, "I wasn't allowed to wear makeup or 'revealing' clothes. However, he required me to wear sexy lingerie weekly."
She went on to state, "He installed spyware on my personal laptop and tracked every website I visited for the entire eight years of our marriage without my knowledge and used that information to verbally attack and criticize me."
Another person said of her former spouse, "He used religion to try to control me."
In a similar vein, another wrote about her former spouse, "His control began primarily through religion and gradually grew to a complete totalitarian system including dress code, language, schedule, even private prayers."
My Spouse Uses Anger
One spouse said of her current husband, "He gets angry if I make a mistake."
Another said her spouse controls her through yelling at her.
Writing about her former husband, one person stated, "He would give me the silent treatment for days at a time when he got mad at me. He was verbally abusive and lectured me like a little child."
A young wife said of her current spouse, "He had (and is still working on) anger issues and I quickly became afraid of his outbursts, though he never hit or hurt me physically."
My Spouse Uses Criticism and Sarcasm
A respondent wrote of her current husband, "He is constantly sarcastic towards me."
A woman said of her former husband, "He was very verbally critical and found a way to twist anything I valued into a weapon to control me. He tried to make me feel that I was bad or wrong or undeserving."
My Spouse Acts Superior to Me
One person responded about her current husband, "He expects me to do things and think the way he does. He believes his way is better."
Another wrote of her current husband, "The verbal abuse comes in the form of questioning everything I do or say. Any opinion I have or knowledge I have of a subject is dismissed as stupid or incorrect. I can tell him what happened at a concert and he will look me right in the eye and tell me it didn't happen in that way. He comes across as the ultimate know-it-all and the rest of the world is inferior to him, yet I know his own self-esteem is in the toilet or he wouldn't feel the need to act this way. I can be cooking in the kitchen and he will come in and take over because his way is better. I can get ready to draw something, such as a triangle, and he will try to take the pencil out of my hand and draw it for me because he doesn't feel that I can do it. He comes across very charming and affable to the outside world, but at home, he is totally different. All of our friends would be shocked if they really knew what he was like."
My Spouse Controls the Money
Referring to her former husband, a respondent stated, "He controlled all money including my paycheck. He gave me an allowance of $100 per week for anything I or my daughter needed."
About her former spouse, one woman wrote, "He spent money with no regard to our ability to earn money, including running up a home equity loan."
Another said of her former husband, "He made it clear that HE made all the money and was angry if I spent any (he made more than $700,000 per year). To stop his accusations about my spending, I would cut coupons, shop sales, etc., and then write the check for the full amount. I kept the savings as 'cookie jar' money so I could buy him a Christmas or birthday present without him seeing the credit card bill. When he discovered what I did, he blew up and said I was stealing from him."
She continued, "I caught him having an affair. I got a nice settlement."
My Spouse Tried to Control or Dominate Me By Embarrassing Me
Writing about her former husband, a respondent said, "Drinking made him mean, usually only to me. He drank a lot and I had to create diversions to get him home before he launched into me and eliminated any chance of a social life."
She continued, "He forgot Christmas for me. We were at my parents and after all the gifts were handed out, I didn't have one. He said, 'Oh, I forgot you.'"
Another said of her former spouse, "He lied about me to people in our church which isolated me."
My Spouse Tries to Control Whom I Spend Time With or Talk To
A woman wrote about her current spouse, "He gets angry when I visit and spend time with my family."
A respondent said of her current spouse, "He is just overbearing and does not like me to do anything without him and does not want me to spend time with friends or family."
My Spouse Justifies His/Her Negative Behavior OR Blames Me for His/Her Behavior
A woman said, "He refuses to help with any major decisions. If he doesn't like my decision that I'm forced to make without him, then he throws a tantrum like a 2-year-old."
Another said of her current spouse, "He does things like ask me if we can go out to eat when he knows we are low on money. Because I can't say no without risking an outburst, we go. A week or two later when we don't have the money to pay bills he gets angry anyway and blames me for not managing our money well. He dominates while giving the illusion that I am totally in control."
My Spouse Controls or Dominates In Sexual Ways
A frustrated woman wrote about her current spouse, "He pouts if I refuse sex, even for legitimate reasons such as a bad headache or an illness. He then blames me for the lack of sex in our relationship. The pressure to have sex is immense and yet he is very distant emotionally when it comes to sex. I could be anyone; he just needs a body to satisfy his need. There's always the lingering threat that he will get back into porn if I don't satisfy his need."
A respondent said about her former husband, "He withdrew all emotional support. He withdrew all sexual relations, including simple things such as sitting near, kissing, etc., not just intercourse."
Another wrote of her former spouse, "Sex was his way or not at all."
More to Come…
This article serves as part 1 of a three article series.
Part Two will focus on how control and domination affect the spouse that is subjected to that behavior.
Part Three will focus on how to deal with a dominating or controlling spouse to stop that behavior.
We realize that a person demonstrating one or more of the above actions occasionally does not mean that he or she is controlling or dominating. None of us is perfect and each of us can display less than ideal behavior at times. Therefore, if you feel that you may be dominated or controlled but are not sure, take a free assessment.

hkluth wrote:I find that using a lot of creams (even ones with no scent added) often burn when they hit the psoraisis patches. The one that doesn't seem to hurt as bad is a Gerber Baby lotion called Grins and Giggles. I can even use the scented variety in that. It isn't oily and soaks in very quickly so I have to apply it often but I'd rather do that than have some sticky, greasy ointment type moisturizer on during the day. At night, I use just plain Vaseline (Petroleum Jelly) and coat my hands liberally just before going to sleep. The Vaseline is kind of messy, so a pair of cloth gloves help to protect sheets and pillow while still giving the skin a chance to breathe.
moodindigo wrote:Diprobase used lavishly and frequently helps but I find Oilatum after my shower and Vaseline at night and on coming in from work (being outside dries my hands and makes them crack) helps,
Will be seeing the consultant for the first time in a couple of weeks.
My P is the palmar type so the scaly bits crack and bleed and I find that putting a plaster over the sore parts at night with a great splodge of Diprobase and Vaseline over Sudacrem baby antiseptic, really helps a lot. I'm not sure how you'd manage that over large areas - maybe elasticated bandages?????
I try not to use the steroids unless I have to.
hkluth wrote:The lotions and moisturizers do help in the short term but I've found that they also have the effect of changing the texture of the scales that crack and peel. When I leave my hands with no moisturizers, the skin thickens and cracks but peels in flakes (like a sunburn peel). When I keep moisturized, the skin thickens like a callous and is rubbery as it peels. This means that it peels more deeply at one time rather than the slow constant dry peeling with out the moisturizer. Leaving them dry though leaves my hands vulnerable to catching the dry spots on things (like paper or clothing), which is very irritating.
Yes, for large areas, I've gotten quite creative about how to bandage them. I have sections where the entire front and both sides of my finger is peeling all at once. Peeling inside the joints is particularly hard to bandage and still be able to use my fingers. I use the stretchy cloth bandages and since I'm sensitive to the adhesives, I put a layer of stretchy gauze around the finger first. Then the bandages go over the gauze and stick to themselves.
Bandaging where I work is important because I work inside a computer room and the door is opened by a standard type doorknob. If it is slippery from greasy hand lotions, it is hard to impossible to get out in a hurry. Not a good situation...

After I see the dermatologist, I will post here if appropriate.

Cheap, Fast Water Fun09 Aug 2015
A summer past time everybody remembers is taking a huge, refreshing swig of water from the water hose while playing outside. Nowadays, there's more than one way to catch that refreshing swig all over again. We've listed some virtually inexpensive water games that don't even require you leaving the driveway to cure the summertime boredom we all face. Other than slip 'n slides and water balloon fights, these fast and easy games will offer a quick way to cool off without breaking the bank.
Cold Potato
Unlike hot potato, cold potato is considerate of the summer heat. Using a pin to poke a small hole in a water balloon, the 'cold potato' is passed around in a circle before it runs out of water. The idea is that every one cools off, but not too much.
Add a twist: The player who catches the balloon as it runs out of water gets an entire leaky water balloon squirted at them.
Marco Polo – without the pool
The idea is the same but instead of treading water, the infamous Marco is blinded and strapped with a water gun to seek out his or her Polos. Mixed with a bit of hide and seek, Marco counts to ten with his or her back turned, and then calls Marco. When a Polo is successfully drenched, switch roles.
Add a twist: Add some water balloons to the Marco's arsenal.
Maybe one of the easiest water games ever. The goal? To make the biggest splat with water balloons. Just throw them in the air. The higher the throw, the bigger the splat. Winner is the player with the biggest splat.
Add a twist: Challenge players to create a shape from their splats.
Bobbing for Apples
A carnival tradition, bobbing for apples is a perfect way to chill down. Just stick your face in the water and try your best for a fruity prize.
Add a twist: Switch up fruits and turn the edible prizes into smoothies.

Getting Kids Healthy for School03 Aug 2015
By Tori Linville
Back to school isn't just about backpacks and new classes. It's the one time of year that a student's immune system is re-exposed to millions of germs after a three month break. It's back to the cafeteria for school lunches instead of food at home. It's back absent-mindedly touching doorknobs and noses. If you're not too grossed out, here are some reminders and tips to helping the transition from home to school easier on the whole family.
Stress the importance of common sense when spreading germs, meaning:
· Washing hands after using the restroom to reduce the spread of sickness. For little ones, reminding them to wash their hands through the duration of the Happy Birthday song two times in their heads can be a helpful tip.
· Cover mouths and noses when coughing or sneezing
· Keep hands away from eyes and mouth
· Regularly use hand sanitizers and disinfectants, especially after touching eyes, mouth, keyboards, community tools such as scissors, etc.
· Don't share food, drink or personal items with classmates in order to reduce illness and other possible contagions
· Double check for possible sicknesses before arranging any play dates or sleepovers
· Pack a lunch complete with more whole grains, fruits and veggies. Low-fat dairy products and low-sodium and low-fat choices are best along with portion control to make a healthy meal
· Ensure plenty of exercise and sleep for a healthy body
Some products that are backpack and pocket-friendly and can help slow down sickness include:
· Pocket sized Germ-X
· Personal Tissue Packs
· Tea Tree Oil (to prevent lice)
· Sanitizing Wipes
· Vitamin C Drink (or drink mix)

Ways to Pay for College03 Aug 2015
By Tori Linville
Being at college, let alone paying for college, can be a completely nerve-wracking experience. The game has changed and so have the finances. There are so many different avenues to financing a college education that it can easily be overwhelming and confusing. While there's a never-ending amount of information about student loans and other ways to pay for college, the first step isn't what you might think.
Organize your thoughts and prep mentally for the Financial Aid Jungle.
Doubt and assumptions are your worst enemies when looking to apply for a loan or scholarship. Believe it or not, many people assume they're not good enough in some type of way to qualify for the various types of aid. It's never too soon or too late for investigating which loans and scholarships you can apply for.
The best tools to use are perseverance, tenacity and self-control. Just getting started with the search for the correct aid is an extremely large step to finding the best aid possible. Taking on a controlled money-saving plan to supplement whatever aid you receive is also a big battle, as cutting corners is something that isn't taught in a college course but picked up along the way.
Lastly, every bit counts. If that means writing a five page essay for a $50 scholarship that you won't have to owe later plus interest, why wouldn't you do it?
Exhaust all avenues of securing aid
To figure out what kind of funding you can secure, you need to know all the different ways to get some moolah. See rachelcruze.com for further info. about what types of aid to look out for.
· College-Specific Aid – colleges are sneaky sometimes. Scholarships aren't always published and to see what you could be missing out on requires some dedication and legwork. While a phone call is okay, the ideal would be to visit the financial aid office to check for any and all opportunities you could be eligible for.
· Federal Aid – this is where your FAFSA comes in. While federal aid does have the largest amount of aid available, it's mostly based on financial need that is reflected by the household income. A.k.a. don't rely on just your FAFSA to get you to the finish line.
· State Aid – this kind of help is usually financial need + achievements = money. This is where the hard work and studying pays off.
· Military Aid – if you or a family plan on serving or have served the country, military aid is a definite possibility.
· Personal – obviously, this comes from your wallet. Last resort only.
Use loans as a last option for funding your experience and remember that debt is NOT a requirement for a college education.
Focus on Federal loans first: Known as federally guaranteed Stafford loans, these are usually offered as part of financial aid awards and have lower-than-market interest rates. Unsubsidized loans begin accruing interest immediately, while subsidized loans don't start until you graduate.
After that, consider a PLUS Loan: Federal Direct PLUS loans are open to parents of dependent undergrads and graduate students. They're based on your credit rating and FAFSA. The government insures the loan and sets the interest rate and benefits. Parents have to apply for this loan and an application can be found at a financial aid office. You can defer the repayment until six months after no longer being enrolled.
Finally, consider private loans as a last resort of the last resort. (College financial aid offices occasionally give private loans. These don't have to be accepted.)
Research other secure and stable strategies to help generate funds
Look into 529 College Savings Plans: These come in two different breeds, but can help a ton.
A 529 college savings plan simply helps save for college. These are usually managed by an investment company and are state-sponsored. You can enroll in a plan from any state – eligibility isn't determined by residency.
A 529 prepaid tuition plan cover future tuition at today's prices.
To enroll in a 529, there are additional requirements. See collegedata.com for tons of free and useful information to get started with your financial aid journey.

Back to School Ideas24 Jul 2015
By Tori Linville
School is almost in session for another year. Teachers will be sending home assignments to complete and requests for classroom supplies. Children will be stuffed with knowledge and lunches. To survive the back to school daze, we've got some great ideas to try that will supply smiles all around. Good grades not guaranteed.
Teacher Survival Kit
A great way to get on a teacher's good side is an unforgettable survival kit. The start to the new school year requires tons of supplies that teachers need for the day to day of operating a classroom. Grab a small dollar store basket and line it with some tissue paper. Then, load it up with some of these goods:
· Germ-X or any type of hand sanitizer
· Post-It Notes
· Pens
· Pencils
· Printer Paper
· Notebook Paper (wide ruled)
· A box of tissues
· Paper Clips
· Binder Clips
· Dry-Erase Markers
· Dry-Erase Board Cleaner
· Candy
· Stickers for grading
Back to School Candy Pencil
Send your kiddos back to school with these treats to hand out to classmates. They'll be sure to be a class favorite and allows for a quick break from all the learning!
What you'll need:
Rolo candy
Hershey Kisses
Yellow scrapbook paper
Pink scrapbook paper
Metallic of foil scrapbook paper
Paper cutter (optional)
Markers, black
Glue Stick
1 piece of lined paper (to guide)
Large skewer or scoring tool
What you'll make:
1. Cut Paper
Yellow paper: cut 3.5 in. by 4.5 in.
Pink paper: cut .5 in. by 3. 5 in.
Metallic paper: cut 3.4 in. by 3.5 in.
Cut a circle from another piece of pink paper by tracing around the rolo candy and cut out.
2. Using the lined paper as a guide, score the long side of the yellow paper every two lines.
3. Write a fun, nice message in the middle of the paper. Fold the paper on each of the scored lines.
4. Attach the pink and metallic paper to the end of the yellow with glue.
5. Carefully remove the white paper from the Kiss and color the tip with a black marker.
6. Using glue, wrap the Rolo candy with the paper and secure, then add the Kiss.
7. Attach the circle of pink paper to the end of the candy with glue.
Check out this website for more fun school-themed craft ideas.
School Countdown/Art Display
Using a simple picture frame and some twine, you can generate excitement about the upcoming school year by displaying a countdown and then displaying any artwork the children come home with during the year.
Just take a large picture frame and wrap it with twine. Start by tying a secure knot with the twine at the top right of the frame, then wrap around the frame.
Hang a fun, festive countdown by securing sheets that display the days with a clothespin. After school has started, use clothespins to hang artwork and enjoy!

It is officially summer. Parents of older children probably just said a prayer of relief after that statement. For them, this hiatus in classroom learning means no more dropping off to school before work in the mornings, and no more late work lunches in order to make plays, parent teacher conferences, and holiday classroom parties. I just heard multiple sighs of relief, because although we enjoy all of these things and love watching our little people discover themselves as they participate in their activities, my goodness, it gets exhausting!
But what happens when your child goes to school year-round?
I have a preschooler. And, although my son's official preschool session has ended, as all preschool mothers know, the summer leaves us with 2 and 1/2 months of preparation for the next "big boy" and big girl" class come the fall. So, while our babies are attending preschool day camps full of movies, water days and other hot weather fun, it is up to us to continue enriching their learning experiences as they grow. Here are some great ideas:
Visit the Zoo
Taking your child to the zoo can result in multiple lessons about a wide variety of land and sea animals. Take photographs, and afterward your child will have pictures to reference as he learns the animals' names and about the habitats in which they live.
Hit the Blue
Go to the pool, the river, the beach or play around in the sprinklers in your front yard. It is never too early to teach our babies to enjoy and not to be afraid of the water. Visit a local department store, get some fun water floats and toys, and work on everything from counting multiple buoys to learning to differentiate varying colors as you play together.
Flashcard Fun
You know what your child loves more than anyone. "M" is for Mickey Mouse, and "P" may be for Popsicle. Your next step? Hit up your computer with your little one and find pictures that match your alphabet. Make flashcards. Sit together for 30 minutes to one hour each day and you will be surprised what can happen during summer break.
Explore the Outdoors
If you live in a wooded area with lots of greenery or near a walking trail or park, grab your child's stroller or wagon and go on a nature walk. Be on the lookout for flowers and plants, bugs, rabbits, and creepy crawlies that your littles ones might love (even if you don't) and combine your exercise session with a lesson about plants and wildlife.
Take Up a Shared Hobby
Despite the fact that most of us working parents don't have a summer break like our children (and yes, I'm extremely envious of all my teacher friends), our kids' summer freedom often means just a little more free time for us as well. If there is something that you love doing, whether it's picking up the old guitar in your spare bedroom or taking photographs, incorporate your child into your hobby. Teach them a little more about the fun side of yourself.
Pictures are always fun and are such an easy and fun way to document our memories. Pack a picnic one day, grab your camera and buy a disposable one for your little person and have a photo day! Once you're done, visit a crafts store and build your own scrapbooks or make a collage of your memory together.
Whatever you do, have fun with your kids this summer!

Both women and men who have a congenital heart defect need to think about a few things when planning a pregnancy. These include the risks of passing a heart defect to your child as well as the possible health risks of a pregnancy for a woman who has a heart defect.1, 2
If you are thinking of
becoming pregnant and you or your partner has a congenital heart defect, there are a couple of things to think about.
If you have a congenital heart defect, your pregnancy may be
considered high-risk. Specific issues will need to be addressed with your
doctor, such as:
You may have a cardiologist involved with your care throughout your
pregnancy and delivery.
A fetal echocardiogram can be done as early as 16 to 18
weeks of pregnancy to check for congenital heart defects in the fetus. Other
testing, such as
chorionic villus sampling or
amniocentesis, may be done.

Read here from NFL.com – reliable source indicating Barnett to be traded or released. This wouldn't surprise me much. I have wondered a bit for a while now if TT hasn't been keen on Barnett – like Barnett doesn't fit the mold character-wise. I have definitely appreciated what Barnett has done for this team and the effort he regularly brought. But the most important factor, his play, has seriously declined since his knee injury. Even in decline, he wasn't BAD, but he certainly is not the player he was. (Not even mentioning the injury issues…) All of this would lead me to not being surprised if he's not a Packer next year. I had held out some thought that he could compete at OLB, but with Walden, Chillar, maybe Zombo (and likely a draft pick…pretty sure we'll be drafting for this position), we're probably going to be fine.
Barnett to be shopped?

TT doesn't like old, expensive players (especially when the replacements are an improvement)
It's not some personal vendetta. Sure Barnett wasn't drafted by TT but TT hasn't been there long enough for his picks to be old.
Barnett at OLB? really?
CindyV Says:
March 4, 2011 at 8:34 am |
We've fine without Barnett the last half of the season. I wonder if his hissy fit about the team photo sealed the deal for his departure. No one like it when family business gets aired in public.
Dave K Says:

A few weeks ago Barnett tweeted, "If I didn't play for packers would you guys still have my back?" I think that is very telling.
When all is kosher and Barnett is the starting MLB it probably isn't a problem but I'm guessing there is a risk of him being a problem if he doesn't get his job back. I think the same thing factored into he Al Harris decision this past season. Certain guys bring energy and passion to the team when playing well but when asked to accept anything other then a primary role they don't handle it well. Their ego and demeanor once an asset become a divisive locker room issue. I obviously have no idea but that is my guess observing him on twitter the past year and how Rodgers handled the team photo dust up before the Superbowl. Rodgers doesn't tweet anything during the season without a purpose. What he said to Barnett was intentional and I'm guessing it was something building over the season. Rodgers was sending him a message to back off and that week wasn't about him but about the team.
All that being said I still think Barnett is a quality player. He has some value to another team. How that plays out with his salary and the CBA I don't think anyone knows.
I am also in over my head when I start trying to project him as an OLB. I know he has played MLB his entire career and his size/height are an issue for OLB but the guy can play football. If Popinga or Jones can function at OLB I can't imagine that Barnett couldn't make it work. Jones is listed as a whopping 6 pounds heavier then Barnett and one inch taller. I would think you could do some special things with Matthews/Hawk/Bishop/Barnett on the field at the same time but I readily admit I have no idea if Barnett has the tools to play OLB in Caper's 3-4. Maybe he has the tools to be an average OLB and they just don't want to pay someone $6 million to be average. Just thinking out loud I guess….

It would have to wait until after the CBA is completed. Teams arent allowed to trade/sign/release players until that is resolved. I think if he were going to be released, it wouldve happened with Hawk. Now, a trade is possible – but I dont see them releasing him this year. Next year, when they have a lot of FA's to sign, it would make more sense.
What could you get in a trade for him? I think he could be pretty valuable – he still has a marquee name, even though GB could probably succeed without him (case in point, Dallas, Feb. 6th).
I'll bet you could get as high as a second rounder for him.
travis Says:
March 4, 2011 at 1:32 pm |
I personally don't see a trade likely. Teams know our position and unless Ted is willing to swallow 6 million, we will have to cut him. And that's why I don't see a team willing to give up anything when they could wait till he's a FA…
The only way is if multiple teams are interested in him, then a team may be willing to give up a draft pick for him.. But at this point I doubt there is much interest. He was a great player in the past, but you can't say that now, never mind plenty of question marks to go along.
Nick Says:
March 7, 2011 at 8:55 am |
I agree he isnt a GREAT player, and teams may be willing to wait it out until hes a FA – but you never know with some of those deperate teams that need a solid LB. He is still better than probably 75% of LB's out there. Im sure Carolina, Detroit, Buffalo, etc. would love to have him.
I hope its a trade….would suck to lose him for nothing.

Real Madrid Eliminates United in Champions League
MANCHESTER, England - Just like 10 years ago, Ronaldo scored at Old Trafford to advance Real Madrid in the Champions League and eliminate Manchester United.
Back then it was the Brazilian Ronaldo, who scored a memorable hat trick.
This time it was Cristiano Ronaldo, back at United for the first time since leaving four years ago. The Portuguese forward opted not to celebrate the goal that gave the nine-time champions a 2-1 victory Tuesday night and their third straight quarterfinals berth.
"I am happy inside because Madrid got through," Ronaldo said after the 3-2 aggregate win. "But on the other hand, I feel a little bit sad because of Manchester United."
United took a 2-1 lead in the total-goal series when Nani's cross in the 48th minute deflected in off a leg of Sergio Ramos for an own goal. The game started to turn when Nani received a red card from Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir in the 56th minute for a studs-up, flying challenge on Alvaro Arbeloa. United manager Alex Ferguson charged out of his seat and down to the sideline to vent his anger.
Luka Modric cut to his right across the top of the penalty area in the 66th and tied the game and the aggregate with a 25-yard shot that eluded the left hand of diving goalkeeper David De Gea and went in off a post. It was just the second goal for Modric since Real Madrid bought him from Tottenham last summer.
Ronaldo scored three minutes later, getting past Rafael da Silva and sliding to tap in a cross from Gonzalo Higuain. Ronaldo reached 40 goals for the third consecutive season.
"Mentally it was not easy for Ronaldo," Madrid coach Jose Mourinho said.
Ferguson was so angered by the decision to eject Nani that he skipped the post-match news conference and sent assistant Mike Phelan.
"Everyone is wondering what had happened and why it happened," Phelan said of the red card. "We had a very distraught dressing room and a very distraught manager - and that's why I'm sat here in front of you now."
Ryan Giggs, the 39-year-old midfielder making his 1,000th senior competitive appearance for Manchester United, Wales and the British Olympic team, angrily pointed at Cakir after the final whistle. Rio Ferdinand sarcastically clapped in his face.
Mourinho, viewed as a possible future replacement for the 71-year-old Ferguson, walked off the field early without celebrating the end of the match - a stark contrast to his famous run when his Porto team scored in the 90th minute to eliminate United in 2004.
"We didn't play well. We didn't deserve to win," Mourinho said. "I doubt that 11 against 11 we can win that match."
"Independent of that," he said of the red card, "the best team lost."
Ronaldo starred for United from 2003-09, winning the FIFA Player of the Year award in 2008. United sold him to Real Madrid in June 2009 for 80 million pounds (then $131 million).
In addition to the Ronaldos, there were other similarities to the last meeting of the clubs at Old Trafford, in the second leg of the quarterfinals in 2003. A decade ago, Ferguson dropped David Beckham from his starting lineup and brought the midfielder on in the 63rd minute of the 6-5 aggregate loss. This time, Ferguson started Wayne Rooney on the bench, inserting England's star forward only in the 73rd minute.
"Can't believe (at) WayneRooney isn't starting tonight!!!" wife Coleen Rooney tweeted.
Even Mourinho defended Ferguson's tactics.
"Sir Alex won the right to have every decision acknowledged as correct and every decision should have no question mark," Mourinho told reporters. "He is the best. He has created history. You are nobody and I am nobody to put a question mark in front. His team was very well organized."
With Arsenal trailing Bayern Munich 3-1 going into the second leg in Germany next week, England is in danger of having no teams in the quarterfinals for the first time since 1995-96. Defending champion Chelsea and Manchester City were eliminated in the group stage.
In the night's other match, Borussia Dortmund defeated Ukraine's Shaktar Donetsk 3-0 to advance on 5-2 aggregate, getting goals from Felipe Santana in the 31st, Mario Goetze in the 37th and Jakub Blaszczykowski in the 59th.

CARSON, Calif. – FC Dallas squandered an opportunity to stay in close contention for an MLS Cup playoff spot by giving up a lead and settled for a 1-1 draw with Chivas USA at the Home Depot Center on Sunday.
Jorge Villafaña scored a 69th-minute equalizer and Kevin Hartman was forced into three big saves in the final minutes as Dallas were forced to settle for a point.
FCD are now four points back of Vancouver for the fifth and final Western Conference playoff spot. Each side has two games remaining, which means FC Dallas must have at least one win and one draw over their final two (at Seattle and vs. Chivas) while hoping Vancouver drops its last two (vs. Portland and at Real Salt Lake).
Villafaña ended a near-MLS record 600-minute scoring streak for Chivas – the worst-ever mark for a non-expansion team – with a shade more than 20 minutes remaining.
Nick LaBrocca played the ball out wide right to Miller Bolaños, who had been dangerous throughout the second half. The Ecuadorian midfielder then sent a ball across the goal area that Hartman appeared to get a piece of but not enough to stop its momentum. Unmarked, Villafaña knocked the ball into the back of the net.
The goal canceled out what had been a dominant performance by FC Dallas in the first half. Just eight minutes in, left back Jair Benítez sent a long ball to the top of Chivas' penalty area. Playmaker David Ferreira controlled it, had space and fired a shot on goal. Dan Kennedy dived and made the save, but left the rebound for Blas Pérez, who easily knocked it into an empty net for the game's first goal.
Most of the rest of the first half was rather uneventful, but the hosts picked it up after the break. With Juan Pablo Ángel replacing José Correa, the veteran's presence was an instant spark for Chivas. In the 66th minute, Angel tested Hartman with a potent shot from 10 yards out but FC Dallas' Kevin Hartman made a save, diving and knocking the ball over the crossbar.
Juan Agudelo was close to giving the hosts a late game-winner as Chivas pushed hard in the closing minutes. In the 89th minute, the young striker raced down into the penalty area and fired a shot from close range but Hartman made the kick save.
OPTA Chalkboard: Chivas turn the jets on in second half
For Chivas USA, the draw breaks a franchise record seven-game losing streak, but the Goats still haven't won in 11 attempts. They next host Colorado on Oct. 20.
FC Dallas, meanwhile, face a tough road trip to Seattle on Oct. 21 (8 p.m. CT on ESPN).

Here, the trees are in boisterous bloom: As we walked into storytime at the public library this morning, my girls were greeted by the SAME little old lady who was the little old lady who held storytimes when I was their age. I adored her then, and adore her now--she remembered my children's names after I introduced her, held the children rapt with a book about a duck who tried, to no avail, to avoid a spanking (she's a little old-school), sat with Sydney on her lap while a group of daycare children sang a St. Patrick's Day song for the local news (5 at 5!), and took my hand as we walked over to the crafts area so that she could ask all about my life ("Why, I'm a teacher, Ms. Louise, and I have a library science degree").
Ah, homecomings.
Matt, who drove us down here for the week but then went back to Indy to work (How I am going to survive here without him, I do not know), did not have the pleasure, thusly, of meeting Ms. Louise, but he did get to hear me blather on all about her on the phone, and all about the horrible papers I'm grading and what exactly are my students doing all class while I'm teaching the material, oh and by the way how was the drive back.
He also, because he thinks of me even when I'm not around, sent me a link to this awesome artist who embroiders female merit badges.
They are awesome.
While I never earned the Applied Mascara or even the Pantyhose badges, really, I am all about the Fertility badges. Not only do I get the ones for the Pill and Pregnancy Scare and Inserting a Tampon, but I also get nicer ones like Bride, Pregnancy-- --and Breastfeeding: But now, of course, I totally want to add to the list. How about Tandem Breastfeeding? Working with Baby in Lap?
Hosting Child's Birthday Party? Taking Child to Emergency Room? Finding the Perfect Sports Bra?
Telling Former Teachers that You're Now a Teacher Yourself?
We all deserve an entire vest full of these.

Celebrity yogi and creator of the Bikram Yoga style, Bikram Choudry, has refused a request from Pop Superstar Madonna for private lessons. Choudry offered to include Madonna in his regular classes, but would not see her on a one-to-one basis saying that if she wanted to be a student "[she would] have to leave [her] ego behind."
Choudry, who has a number of other high profile clients (George Clooney, Jim Carrey, and Jessica Simpson) stressed that none of them have objected to his methods, and does not intend to make exceptions. Yes, the work of Yoga is to cut through the limits of the ego in order to see the truth, but is this choice an example of this teaching? Or is it an example of two very strong egos colliding?

Though this may appear superficial on the surface, the debate brings us to the very basis of sharing this practice. Traditionally, yoga was a practice that was handed down from teacher to student directly and individually. Teachers may have had dozens or even hundreds of students, but each was given just what they were ready for on a one-on-one basis with the teacher or guru. Presently, the presentation of yoga is very different. We pack students in as tightly as possible providing a one-size-fits all approach to asana and yoga.
Is this effective? Should Madonna, who might be a very different individual than Bob Smith on the mat next to her, be given the same practices and techniques as everyone else? Bikram would say yes, Pattahbi Jois might have agreed. Both teachers having the utmost faith in the sequences of asanas and pranayama that they brought to the table, but what of their teachers? T. Krishnamacharya, Jois's teacher, worked individually with his students, tailoring each practice to their individual needs and abilities which is precisely how three of his students went on to create and share three very individual expressions of Yoga (Jois, B.K.S. Iyengar, and T.K.V. Desikachar) all as expressions of experiences with the same teacher.
This contemplation is not meant to dismiss the power of practice shared with others. Though we may all be unique, the power of Yoga is universal, and when we join in the potency of practice with others that power increases exponentially. But, is that power alone enough to move us beyond our obstacles, or do we need to develop a deeper more personalized relationship with our teacher to really move forward in this practice? My response would be that our path of practice as just as unique to our individual personalities as is our method. Some of us will need individual guidance to embark upon and explore the deepest layers of this practice, and others will ride the wave of shared experience into the horizon of understanding.
No matter our path, though, the aim is to be guided from the place of authenticity within all of us, and reach out from there. Not from ego, or fame, or even self-consciousness. When we sit down and ask ourselves, truly, what we need in our practice and in our lives, then what we need will appear as a reflection of our awareness. As the old saying says, "the teacher appears when the student is ready," so if Madonna is seeking from that authentic place, then maybe the message is that Bikram is not the teacher.
What do you think? Should yoga be tailored to the individual or are classes just as effective?

It's probably not a good sign when a presidential candidate cries in public. At any rate, the associations aren't positive. We have the legendary tears that seemed to mark the fall of Ed Muskie. Muskie was standing in the snows of New Hampshire, campaigning in the 1972 New Hampshire primary and defending the honor of his wife from the depredations of the publisher of the Manchester Union-Leader. The moment is captured on YouTube. (Thank you, leftwingescapee.)
We have the tears that Hillary Clinton shed campaigning in the 2008 New Hampshire primary. By contrast with Muskie, she was indoors and she was not defending the honor of her spouse. Rather, she was feeling a little sorry for herself. The tears might have given her a lift in New Hampshire, but they were in a losing cause. The moment is also captured on YouTube.
Now we have Newt Gingrich tearing up in Iowa as he recalled his mother. The context is key. After a swift rise as the non-Romney flavor of the week, Newt's campaign is in descent. Will the tears brake or reverse the decline? I doubt it, especially if they prompt observers to look at what he was saying:
"I identify my mother with being happy, loving life, having a sense of joy in her friends, but what she introduced me to, is late in her life she ended up in a long-term-care facility. She had bipolar disease, and depression, and she gradually acquired some physical ailments, and that introduced me to the issue of long-term care, which I did with [Former Nebraska Sen.] Bob Kerrey for three years, and that introduced me to the issue of Alzheimer's, which I did with Bob Kerrey for three more years, and my whole emphasis on brain science comes indirectly from dealing with the real problems of real people in my family[.]"
How did Gingrich "do" long-term health care with Bob Kerrey? It would be nice if the folks covering this story bothered to explain. Looking around on the Web, I find a 2008 New York Times op-ed column appearing under the joint byline of Billy Beane (!), Gingrich and Kerrey. Although I'm sure there is more to what he "did" on long-term health care with Kerrey, so far as one can deduce from the column, Gingrich "did" it by bloviating about it in the style to which we have become accustomed:
Working closely with doctors, the federal government and the private sector should create a new institute for evidence-based medicine. This institute would conduct new studies and systematically review the existing medical literature to help inform our nation's over-stretched medical providers. The government should also increase Medicare reimbursements and some liability protections for doctors who follow the recommended clinical best practices.
I could go on, but I want to stop before I start crying myself.

Former Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous host Robin Leach said Friday that President Obama is a socialist.
Appearing on the Fox Business Network, Leach told host Neal Cavuto the current White House resident is "whipping up this racial war and this economic divide" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
NEAL CAVUTO, HOST: The White House itching to slam the rich nonetheless by taxing them out. But lots of states are trying to actually reel them in. In South Carolina for example, they are pushing big tax breaks for billionaires who invest in small businesses. My next guest says that's a good idea, and he knows or two about the rich. He made a living by following how rich folks were living. Former "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" host Robin Leach who has I think one of the most distinct voices on the planet.
I would love you to do like my answering machine, "You've reached the Cavuto residence." No. How are you?
ROBIN LEACH, VEGASDELUXE.COM HOST: Hello. I'm very well, but unfortunatley, Neil Cavuto is out at this moment driving in his open top Rolls Royce along the beaches of the San Tropez.
CAVUTO: Just set it to record. You are not a fan of what is going on here.
LEACH: No, I think it is deadly dangerous and I don't use those two words lightly.
Look, what Obama is proposing you've got to cut right down to it, it is socialism. It is so ugly and evil. It doesn't work – it's never worked. And we went through this in Britain until Maggy Thatcher and rescued us from a fate worse than what's going to happen here.
CAVUTO: He takes great umbrage to that socialist description.
LEACH: Of course, because it is the truth.
CAVUTO: He says, "I'm trying to level the playing field."

Nutritionists have long touted the health benefits of raw foods. The "Raw" logo indicates that the food was not heated above 118 F, which is the temperature at which many beneficial enzymes are believed to be destroyed. Raw foods contain more usable nutrients than their "cooked" counterparts, along with being easily absorbed by the body.

The Champion of the Ladies Sugar Bowl between Bunker Hill Country Club and Quail Dunes Golf Course goes to, the Quail Dunes Ladies Golf Association(QDLGA).
It was a windy and chilly weekend of competition but the QDLGA maintained their concentration in the difficult conditions. Qauil Dunes pulled in a total of nine and a half points to Bunker Hill Ladies Golf Association's two and a half points. Quail Dunes team captain Dianna Pfeifer, felt that "we placed our teams in strong positions to pull in a good win".
Bunker Hill Country Club and Quail Dunes Golf Course both had tough pin placements due to the horrific wind conditions. Bunker Hill's Sandy Cook talked about bending over to mark her ball on the green and it continuing to move because of gusts of wind.
Sharon Midcap and Judy Gettman were the only doubles match to win both points on Saturday.
"The wind was horrific, but as a team we played well," said Gettman in a release.
Saturday's competition was a two-person best ball, and Sunday's competition was an individual event. A total of 12 points were possible. The Ladies Sugar Bowl trophy has bounced back and forth each year from its beginnings in 2007. This is the first year that it will be staying at the previous champion's course.

"We don't talk about it," head coach Charity Elliott said of the ranking, "and try to keep blinders on."
It's this unwavering determination that has proven successful for Elliott and the team. Although she acknowledged the ranking is a "huge honor," she tries to keep her team focused, she said.
"We are constantly talking about 'our standard' and asking ourselves if we are playing to our standard," she said.
The UCSD standard seems to be marked by a fast tempo game with great defense and an upbeat playing style.
The team was disappointed it did not make the regional tournament last year after losing to Cal Poly Pomona in the CCAA tournament, Elliott said, but it was perhaps that loss that helped them build this season's team when they started training last spring.
Their hard work, meanwhile, seems to be paying off. The only losses the team has suffered so far were two exhibition games, against perennial powerhouse Stanford and SDSU — both Div. 1 teams. Elliott said those games were actually "good confidence boosters," because the team was able to "find out in a hurry their strengths and weaknesses against that caliber of team."
Some of her team's strengths, she said, is coming from its seniors, Chelsea Carlisle, Daisy Feder and Lauren Freidenberg. With its aggressive playing style with a lot of fast breaks and trapping on defense, the team is "very unselfish in that it isn't centered on just one player," Elliott said. "We are constantly looking for players with high caliber character and the potential to be program changing."
Meanwhile, she described her coaching style as "extremely positive with high expectations."
She said some of the challenges her team faces come in the form of recruiting with such high academic standards at UCSD and the lack of available scholarships. Elliott, however, has managed to use that situation to her advantage.
"It gives us the opportunity to give more borderline players opportunities [to play and to prove themselves]," she said.
On Feb. 10, the team will face one of its toughest competitors. Chico State, which lost to UCSD on Jan. 7 in double overtime, will try to redeem itself.
"They played fantastic," she said, calling the game a "great learning tool." As for the rematch, her team, she said, is "looking forward to it."
UCSD has also started a campaign to move up to Div. 1 in NCAA athletics. UCSD, which has competed in Div. 2 since 2000, would like to have all of its athletic teams competing at the Div. 1 level by 2013-14.
Elliott supports the move and said she feels the university is well suited for Div. 1 athletics. The move, however, wouldn't change the way she goes about leading her program. The transition, she said, would probably be a smooth one, as scholarships would be increasingly available at the Div. 1 level. Recruiting against upper level teams, she said, "poses new challenges and would be very exciting."
"It's not about the division or level but more about changing kid's lives for the positive," she said. "It's just about enjoying every single day."

The Internet Runnith Over
When I was cutting my teeth in the IT world I meet a guy at work named Ken. he was an IT idea guy and the company kept him locked away in a room like a mad scientist. In my time at the company I used to find excuses to go pick his brain. I was the closest thing you can get to legal LSD.
He never wore shoes, he sometimes appeared as if he never even went home. I never saw him build anything but he was the guy the brass would call on when they needed someone to poke holes into a gant chart or some IT sales pitch about redundant servers. I asked him once "if anyone has ever impressed him" his reply was "not yet".
Maybe he was chock full of ignorance and negativity I was not smart enough to understand 1/4 of the things he said. One thing that stood out is that he claimed to be one of the ex-government employees who invented the internet. He said it was designed for the government and cannot sustain its growth patterns. He compared it to the leaning tower of Pizza with the world trying to find space on the top floor.
It has taken almost 20 years to really understand what he was saying. Broadband wasn't a consumer product back then it was for business and government. Now when we check into a hotel and if it doesn't have high-speed internet my kids act like we stuck in some road side motel with a crappy dinner. If they only knew of dial-up and all of the tricks to getting on the net in the AOL days.
So this morning when I was reading this article on Mashable about the internet is running out of IP addresses I thought of my mad IT guru Ken. For every box plugged into the net there is a unique IP address given. Some can be reissued but even with that the fact is in a few days we will run out of IP address. At least IPv4 IP's are going away. The ones short enough for your IT manager to remember the IP address and recite it to the boss about your continuous views of adult dating sites. The people who are smarter than us about these things have already been preparing for this. No need to not buy the new laptop or tablet. No you cyber stalkers won't have freedom to run a muck after we run out of IPv4's
The one thing that Ken forgot is that he is not the only intelligent guy stuffed in a "idea' room. People have been working on IPv6 for a few years and the new IP address will be much longer and a blend of number and letters (WEP anyone). So keep surfing, keep laughing at your friends who do not have high-speed Internet and stay connected.
Remember you are OG if your IP is 184.108.40.206 and you are a newbie if your IP includes letters and digits. It is not to late they have just about 4 billion unique IP's and they are getting taken at a rate of 1 million address' every four hours.

Well I am up early, going to the hospital in a few hours for my Gastric Bypass. Nervous but excited. Was told I might be in the hospital till Friday, will let y'all know how it goes. Keep smiling, let the adventure begin for a whole new life.· 1 reply
It really isn't that bad at all. What i will say is you may feel some nausea after you wake up and when you get to your room and a bit of pressure in your abdominal area. Try the over the counter stuff they give (I think it was GASX) and something else they give for nausea. Get up as fast as you can unless you are sick or something but try to go for a walk and continue to do so every hour. If you still pressure and nausea, ask the nurse to call your doctor and see if they can recommend something stronger for both. That was a lifesaver for me. Other than that I have been very happy with this whole process so far. I am out three weeks now. FOLLOW EVERYTHING THEY TELL YOU TO DO, I have. God Bless you on your new journey.

Surgeon was pleased and told me to wean off the PPI. Ultrasound was fine. There was no nutritional counseling because vacation time but I could schedule an appointment should I want one.
I'm going to wait for the labs coming back and if there should be anything off I'm going to make an appointment. The question I had can be asked and answered via e-mail.

Surgery (sleeve) was Monday, 7/6 and today I finally feel a little more human! I've battled headaches, nausea, soreness of course, and I can't sleep more than 2 hours at a time! I am still sore, especially up in my ribs! I'm also very tired and my energy is extremely low. I have a business I work from home but I don't even want to think about it right now! I'm so grateful to have this behind me and finally feel like I am actually on the road to recovery! I'm still on clear liquids until next week. Hopefully then my energy will pick up a bit!!· 1 reply
Hang in there, Judy! I am suffering along with you from a distance. I am hoping that I am turning the corner today. I could really use a good night of sleep too. Cheers with sugar free jello! 😬

Hope you all are keeping it safe and staying sane during these difficult times.
Stress has never been good for food habits and these are odd times so keep working on your mental game and don't beat yourself up too much for any setbacks.
I enjoyed this little video and wanted to share.
I totally agree with you! Mindset is so powerful! There have been times before surgery, and since, that I have started to feel scared or like just throwing in the towel and crying my eyes out! But I keep telling myself that as long as I can stay positive, my recovery will go smoother and I will be so much happier! It's so hard to do right now with all this other going on, but we have to look out for ourselves!!

Aquirax Uno Posters ( Japanese Psychedelic Design )
While doing some organizing around home I recently re-discovered an interesting book I picked up some years ago at a second hand book shop here in Osaka. Titled Aquirax Uno Posters 1959-1975, it contains a number of cool psychedelic designs from Japanese artist Akira Uno.
Uno was most prolific in the 1960s and 1970s where his trippy illustrations were used in theater stage event advertising. He also did logo and fashion advertising for a number of boutiques in and around Tokyo.
Here are a number of posters from the book I scanned in. I like his simple line work which is somewhat reminiscent of the work of Western 60's psychedelic artists. Many of his posters display sexual themes that were perhaps more openly accepted in Japan than the advertising standards allowed in the USA/Europe at the time.

Organic Investing 101
Posted August 3, 2011on:
- In: Finances | investments | Laugh | Life | Organic Living
- 2 Comments
My financial advisor wants to Baker Act me! He thinks I'm a danger to my portfolio! Me? I think I'm just ready for some Organic Investing.
What is Organic Investing? Well, it's the exact opposite of investing in obscure Mutual Funds. You know the ones with anywhere from 30-100 different companies in the mix. Do you know who's Green and who's not? Who hires 5 year old factory workers and who's marketing cigarettes to kids?
….Beep, beep, beep. We interrupt this blog to bring you an open can of worms… I just researched one fund I once owned and look who I've been supporting… just to name a few…Monsato, News Corp, Inc., Phillip Morris International!
Back to Organic Investing 101…. I like to compare it to organic gardening where you know your dirt and your dirt knows you. Or mixing up your own salad dressing with 3 identifiable (and pronounceable) ingredients as opposed to the 25 listed on the grocery store bottle. Or shaking up your own homemade icecream in 5-10 minutes with 3 ingredients; half-n-half, sugar (organic honey if you so choose?) and vanilla instead of buying the store brand that just might contain Anti-freeze?
In the past, when my mutual funds "performed" well, I really didn't quite know who to "high-five?" Well, to be brutally honest, I never even paid much attention to how they were performing. Most of my attention is spent on how my two children are performing… in their 12 extracurricular activities I taxi them to and from (and yes, my Wazoo is hurting as we speak).
So, I called my genius financial advisor-who has always made superb choices with my portfolio re: the Bottom Line- Ricardo (his name has been changed from English to Spanish to protect the "sane") and told him that I wanted some money from my portfolio to invest in a local business. Well, he did his usual brilliant job of trying to reason with The Unreasonable. And in a flash, the truth behind my excitement came flooding in. It just feels wonderful and exciting to know exactly what you're investing in…. so, let's feel our way to a prosperous future, shall we.
1. Are you letting JOY be your intention behind everything you do. Especially investing! (Sorry, but if you're my friend and you don't make me laugh, or at least smile… you're climbing a slippery slope… now if you inadvertantly fall, that could be funny, thereby bumping you back up the rating scale)
2. Are you using Your Six Senses– Can you feel, see, touch, taste or smell it? And, more importantly, do you like what you sense? Check! Five down, one to go-The Sixth Sense (and no, I'm not asking if you can see dead people!) Do you have a wonderful, exciting gut feeling about the investment? (Monsato?, Phillip Morris? – I suddenly feel nauseous as you should too, if you find that your investments go against your heart and soul) Does it resonate with you?
2. Can you High Five the General Manager or the CEO? I can! I know his name, his shoe size, where he lives, his mama's phone number. I can see the exhiliration on his face as he shares his business plan. I can already see us doing the Prosperity Popping dance (my personal favorite is the Robot!)!!
If you answered "yes" to ALL THREE of the above questions (they are all equally important!) you are already an Organic Investor! Now go enjoy that Homemade Ranch Dressing Ice Cream Sundae while you Grow Your Local Economy!
