So happy with this purchase!!
What a beautiful, neat, capacious and simple tote. By all means, simple in a positive way. I loooove the color of camel. I adore this color on accessories (bags, totes, belts, hats and shoes especially), and it never goes out of fashion. The leather is really soft and clean, and the tote is well made. A stylish sample to recommend. As expected, I am in love.
Sizing: Smaller than Expected

When I first got this bag I feel a little disappointed, it is too simple. And after using it a few days I really love this one. Very soft leather, simple but fashionable outlook and really big volume.

Good tote!!!!
I saw this last year on shopbop but it was sold out. This year when I saw it came back, I bought it right away. The bag is adorable and the leather is soft. One issue for me is the stitching part looks a little simply made. Although the removable strap for me is a little short, but it still very stylish. Other than that, I love this bag!!!
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

Why would you want or need to modify your perfectly good servo? It turns out that servo motors are great little gear motors that can connect directly...
Parts and tools MG 995 Servo Two 2.2k ohm resistors Soldering iron solder sponge Needle-nose and diagonal pliers Flat and phillips head screwdrivers...
Use your phillips screwdrive to remove the four captive screws on the servo.
Remove the cover that has the 4 screws, exposing the motor and PCB.
These 3 white wires are currently connected to the potentiometer. By the end of this instructable these wires will be gone.
If there is a horn attached to your servo - remove it.
Carefully remove the cover from the back of the servo. This will expose the gears.
Take a picture of your gears, to be sure you remember how they go in when you are done.
Remove the upper most gear and set it somewhere clean and safe. Try not to get the gear dirty.
Remove the gear that has the spindle that pokes outside of the servo. This is usually pretty tight, so pull it off with your needle-nose pliers if yo...
If you look at the gear you just removed, you will see a small shiny pin. Look at your gear and identify it.
Grip the spindle with your needle-nose and pry the pin out with your side-cutter. It will take a little prying but it will come out.
Now that you have the pin out, look at the bottom of the gear. You will see a plastic insert.
Use your flathead screwdrivers to pry the plastic piece out of the bottom of the gear. Try to get the plastic out of the inside of the gear without l...
This is what your gear should look like after you take the plastic out.
Put the gears back together just like you found them.
Snap the cover back over the gears. We're done with this side of the servo now.
Pull the PCB out and cut the 3 wires that connect it to the potentiometer.
Remove the three wires from the potentiometer. You can de-solder them if you like, or you can do it like I did and just pull them off.
We don't want the potentiometer pins getting in the way, so just bend them down so they are flat.
Twist the resistors together, then bend one of the leads down like this.
Solder the resistors together at the twist.
Trim the excess wire above the solder joint you just made.
Trim the other two leads so they are the same length as the one in the middle.
They should look something like the picture when you are done.
Carefully desolder the wires from the PCB. Gently pull the wire while heating up the solder joint and it will come right off.
Solder the resistors to the PCB.
Just a precaution to make sure the resistors don't short against something. Also, be sure the leads on your resistors aren't making contact with anyt...
Stick the motor back in. Make sure it is all the way in and meshing with the gears in the case.
Carefully position the PCB in the case. It may be a tight fit with the tape on it. Just make sure you will be able to get all of the screws in.
Attach cover over the motor and PCB.
Fasten the 4 screws and you are done!
This is the code you can use to test your servo if you are using an Arduino. The myservo.write(90); line sets a standard servo to it's mid-point. It...

Recently it has seemed that every other tweet or Instagram posted by pop star Rihanna taunts the public with an uncomfortable thought: Singer Chris Brown, the man who beat her so badly in 2009 that was she was almost unrecognizable, may once again be her lover.
Rumors the two had reconnected began circulating not long after their infamous altercation, which ultimately resulted in Brown pleading guilty to felony assault. Then earlier this year there was the remix to Rihanna's song "Birthday Cake," in which Brown was the featured guest vocalist offering such coy nuggets as:
"Girl I wanna --- you right now
Been a long time I've been missing your body".
OK, maybe "coy" is the wrong word.
In any case, the couple's allusions to their reunion --a Twitter picture showed her embracing a man who appears to be Brown; another showed a man presumed to be Brown face down and shirtless on a bed -- culminated with Brown posting a photo of himself and Rihanna, who appears to be in her underwear. "What would music today sound like if these kids didn't exist?" the caption read.
Normally I don't like to get too involved in grown folks' private business. But when you use social media to shove your business down the public's throat, it's no longer private.
Rihanna doesn't need to be a spokeswoman for victims of domestic violence, nor does she need to live the rest of her life as a victim. But someone needs to send her a copy of "What's Love Got To Do With It," or something, because she's sending a message that everything is fine and that the man who beat her is "a good man." Maybe so, but 77% of women her age who report domestic violence have been victimized previously by the same man, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics.
This fall, some Upstate New York high school students dressed up as Rihanna and Brown and reenacted their fight in a school skit for fun. When one treats serious matters like this so lightly, does one inadvertently gives permission for others to do the same?
When the world first saw the images of Rihanna's face after her fight with Brown, many rushed to blanket the songstress with support. The way she is flaunting their relationship now, I don't anticipate the same amount of sympathy for her if another incident occurs.

there is something you must always remember.

But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.

A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.

Advans SA SICAR (Advans SA) is a Venture Capital Investment Company, created in August 2005 by Horus Development Finance together with several development financial institutions: Agence Française de Développement (AFD), the European Investment Bank (EIB), the Netherlands Development Finance Company (FMO), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), KfW Entwicklungsbank (KfW) and CDC Group plc (CDC). In 2010, Fonds d'Investissement et de Soutien aux Entreprises en Afrique (FISEA), a company fully owned by AFD, joined the group of initial shareholders by participating to the capital increase carried out by Advans SA and by acquiring AFD's shares in Advans SA.
Advans SA is incorporated in Luxembourg as an investment company in risk capital (SICAR) and supervised by the Commission de Supervision du Secteur Financier (CSSF), Luxembourg's financial supervision authority. Its total committed share capital amounts to 43.6 million Euros.
Advans SA's mission is to build a network of financial institutions, also known as Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) or microbanks, in developing and emerging countries. The institutions of the Advans network offer simple yet effective financial services such as loans and deposits to micro small and middle-sized enterprises (MSME) which have limited or no access to formal banking services.
Advans SA's strategy is to invest as lead shareholder in the microfinance institutions it creates, along with other shareholders with similar interests and vision. Advans SA provides these MFIs with financial resources and services, mainly equitybut also loans and guarantees. As an investor, Advans SA has a double bottom line objective: contributing to economic development and poverty alleviation while offering a decent financial return to its shareholders. Technical know-how is provided by the fund's manager and technical partner, Horus Development Finance (Horus), a French consulting firm specialized in microfinance in emerging and developing countries. Co-investors in Advans' affiliates are chosen based on their ability to bring strategic and operational benefits as well as financial support. This ownership model increases the quality of governance and helps achieve financial sustainability as well as social impact of the MFIs.
Over the next 3 years, Advans SA's aim is to pursue the expansion of its network, creating new MFIs in Africa, Asia and the Middle-East, but also investing equity in existing MFI which need a strong lead shareholder. MFIs of the Advans Network share common values and best practices and benefit from synergies gained through the Advans network.
MSMEs are one of the main sources of economic development in emerging and developing countries. These enterprises of less than 50 employees represent the large majority of business activities (often over 95%) even if their contribution to GDP remains limited (below 50%). Usually the biggest employer in these countries, they play a vital role in terms of income generation in countries with high unemployment and poverty.
Yet two important factors hinder the emergence and expansion of these small businesses: (i) access to adequate know-how and technology; and (ii) access to a regular supply of financial services on acceptable conditions. Advans SA was created in 2005 to help overcome this second constraint.
Advans SA SICAR was the first Microfinance Investment Vehicle (MIV) taking the form of a "Société d'Investissement en Capital à Risque" (SICAR) to be awarded the LuxFlag Microfinance Label. It certifies that Advans S.A. SICAR actually invests in the field of microfinance.

Wednesday Style Icon? Yes!
I have been really honored to profile some AMAZING women on this site, and because of the increased influx I will add Wednesday as I day that I profile icons. Not all Wednesdays, but many.
Our upcoming Wednesday icon is G.G.
In the very first BGLH post I ever did I mention that after shaving all my hair off, I searched the media for hair inspiration and found very, very little. So it's exciting that now, you all are hair inspiration for me and the women who check BGLH. (Take your hand, put it on your shoulder and pat.)
Being a style icon has nothing to do with hair length or texture and everything to do with uniqueness, imagination and creativity.
I'm trying to working up to icon status myself. My hair is not *quite* there yet (I don't want to do a profile and be put on blast on my own enterprise... not that that would happen, but still) but I'm working my way there...
Thanks guys for supporting the site and keep the profiles coming!

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? That's one of life's existential questions. In the case of a 250-year-old coastal Douglas fir that was blown down in a West Marin forest 10 years ago, no one may have heard it fall, but a lot of people are going to see and experience it a decade later.
When the Exploratorium opens in its new home at San Francisco's Pier 15 on April 17, two halves of the majestic tree, a section of its trunk and its gigantic root system will be the showcase exhibit, working title "Tree Experience," in the new East Gallery, one of six galleries in the Exploratorium's new bayfront home.
The design team that created "Tree Experience" wanted something spectacular to greet visitors to the capacious East Gallery, an 8,000-square foot space that will focus on the life sciences.
When the magnificent old tree was discovered lying on a West Marin hillside, Marshall tree supplier Evan Shivley tipped off the exhibit team at the Exploratorium, knowing that it was the kind of sensational specimen they were looking for.
"I had envisioned what this exhibit would look like inside the museum," said installation artist Michael Brown, the lead designer. "We just needed to find the right tree."
Brown knew they'd found what they'd been looking for. And so did biologist Kristina Yu of San Anselmo, the gallery's curator.
"I live in Marin and I see big trees all the time,"
When the tree's various pieces are mounted on steel plates, the exhibit will weigh more than nine tons, and its Medusa-like tangle of roots will soar 13 feet above the gallery floor.
Visitors will be able to sit between the two sections of trunk on a bench made of the tree itself, a design aimed at creating an intimate, contemplative space.
"When you're between these two log halves, you'll feel as if you're sitting inside the tree, looking at the rings and the beautiful grain," Brown explained. "It will reveal things that you might not normally pay attention to."
Estimated to have once been more than 200 feet tall, the tree was knocked down by powerful winds on private land near Olema. Because of the angle of the slope it fell on, the tree's trunk, five feet in diameter, was elevated off the ground above a creek, preventing insects from crawling inside it and damaging the wood and beginning the process of decay.
For the Exploratorium team, the tree's enormous, lacy roots were its biggest selling point. They had what Brown describes as "dramatic punch."
"A root ball with arms that are reaching out to the sky was one of the dramatic things we were looking for," he said. "Once the exhibit's in place, we can talk about how these roots held that tree up for more than 200 years until some crazy wind storm knocked it down. It will be like a doorway to a larger story that we hope will inspire people, so that the next time they walk in the forest, they'll have a little more knowledge than if they had not had this experience at the Exploratorium."

The lawsuit alleges that despite being paid in full and on time each month to safeguard personal possessions in a storage unit, Berger wrongly auctioned and destroyed all of the items being stored without permission or authorization, according to the Complaint filed by McCorvie Law Firm, P.A.
Orlando, Florida (PRWEB) February 21, 2013
Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, husband and wife (the "Johnsons"), filed a Complaint in Hillsborough County, Florida against Berger Transfer & Storage, Inc. a Minnesota corporation, an agent of Allied Van Lines (http://www.bergerallied.com) ("Berger") for the alleged wrongful destruction of all their personal property that was being stored in a storage unit under Berger's control and supervision.
The Complaint explains that the Johnsons paid Berger to store and protect their valuable personal property, irreplaceable family heirlooms, and collectibles in a storage unit. The Complaint alleges that unbeknownst to the Johnsons, Berger mischaracterized the account as non-paying, and – without notice or opportunity to cure the alleged payment discrepancy – Berger auctioned off everything in the Johnsons' storage unit. Meanwhile, as the Complaint alleges, Berger continued to accept the Johnsons' monthly payments.
Approximately 18 months later, the Complaint further details that Berger notified the Johnsons of the error and destruction of property. The Complaint states that on or about December 5, 2011, Berger's General Manager sent the Johnsons a letter advising that Berger had wrongly sold their possessions at auction stating "An error input was made and your lot was misidentified as a nonpaying account. As a result your household goods and personal effects were sold at auction." The letter is attached to the Complaint as Exhibit "B."
Lauren Heatwole McCorvie, the Johnsons' attorney, states "This case is about Berger's alleged disregard for the Johnsons' personal property that was entrusted to Berger for safe keeping. As a result of Berger's actions – which Berger admitted to in writing – the Johnsons are seeking compensation. Many items that Berger allegedly auctioned/destroyed were irreplaceable family heirlooms and collections that have extraordinary sentimental and personal value."
The Complaint alleges that not once did Berger give the Johnsons notice of the alleged non-payment issue prior to Berger selling/destroying the Johnsons' belongings in the storage unit. In fact, the Complaint states that Berger did not notify the Johnsons of the error (and wrongful destruction of the Johnsons' priced possessions) for approximately 18 months after destruction. To date, McCorvie alleges that the Johnsons have not been able to recover any of the items lost.
The Complaint sues Berger for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, violation of the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, conversion, and punitive damages. Case Caption: Martin W. Johnson, an individual and Zenaida A. Johnson, an individual, Plaintiffs vs. Berger Transfer & Storage, Inc. a Minnesota corporation, an agent of Allied Van Lines, Defendant. Filed: In the Circuit Court of the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit, in and for Hillsborough County, Florida, Case No. 2013-CA-002688.
The Johnsons are represented by Lauren Heatwole McCorvie, Esquire, of McCorvie Law Firm P.A. in Orlando, Florida, http://www.McCorvieLaw.com.

The board that oversees physician discipline in Massachusetts has yet to deliver on its promise to post more information online about doctors who are charged with a crime or who have a history of negligent care.
Now, doctors whose licenses are revoked or allowed to expire as a result of disciplinary actions are absent from the board's public database. And information about malpractice cases or board actions is removed after 10 years from the profiles of still-licensed physicians.
Why can we not get this information on teachers, business people and firemen and police, as well? Why just start or stop with doctors?!! Why not get and keep a list of who has box seats at the red soxs too? I mean, we require that doctors report any and all income and gifts from drug companies. Why do we just limit these requirements to doctors. I would love to know if my insurance agent,non profit CEOs of hospitals and other companies, car dealers or investment banker is taking others out to dinner and using funds to go to games too?!!! Are not crimnal convictions available to the public? Why not organize the convictions by religions and sex too? That way we can identify "cells" of undesirables on a daily basis. I think information used in this manner has lots of uses. this is just the beginning and I think that we will discover a lot of great information to use and re use...abuse...
Dear haftastudy:
Well, the minute teachers make as much as doctors, I might agree with you. For police, I actually agree with you now (they really should be watched more closely, and the records of that watching should be public). As well as (perhaps) bankers and hospital CEOs.
It's about power. Doctors have it-when you go to the doctor, you are putting yourself or your child in his or her hands; if they've been soliciting sex from minors, perhaps you'd put yourself there, but not your child. If they've had a string of malpractice cases which look surprisingly alike, maybe you don't want to see him or her at all. Fact is, having a license to practice medicine is a statement from the government that you've met a certain standard; anyone can give you medical advice-if you have a license, your medical advice is theoretically at least this (imagine my hand about shoulder height) good, and you are at least this (so, maybe chest height) trustworthy.
Or maybe you'll trust to luck-lots of people do, including me; I didn't check out my PCP before I went to see her (I have since; she's clean, record-wise). But your taxes pay, in part, to keep an eye on people like me (I am a physician). Don't you want to know what you're paying for? I think lots of people do-and they should get it. Just like in a lot of other states, which do this better than we do. Consider Vermont, which honestly I am not surprised does it better, and Texas, which I am very surprised. Both have searchable databases showing that physicians were disciplined, what they were disciplined for, and showing what remediation they undertook.
(Fascinatingly, Texas in particular seems to focus on remediation rather than punishment, which Massachusetts does only for substance abuse issues. I approve; if you screw up in a way that is fixable with more education, you should be required to get said more education. Also, I have to say I approve of removing ten+ year old malpractice records. Chances are, if you haven't committed more malpractice in 10 years, you're not a bad doctor, even if a malpractice case indicates that you once were. (It's not clear that that's what a malpractice case proves, but for the sake of argument, let's say it did)). This should, I argue, also be a theme, as with the recent Globe editorial on police disciopliinary cases. Professional discipline should be about remediation, retraining, and rehabilitation. If you exceed the malpractice threshold (which should be more than 1 case-that is often random-and more about patterns of practice), then you should be re-examined by the board or their representative. Your deficiencies should be evaluated, and you should be given the opportunity to fix them. I would argue furthermore that this is a chance for feedback to your training program. "Hey, Dr. Chief of Residency (or perhaps even Medical School), did you know this about Dr. X before you graduated him? Could you maybe have fixed this *before* you let him out?". If we don't record and review information like this, we will never be able to improve the entire group of physicians, or the training they get. The armed services seem to get this way more than the rest of us do.
This is a hugely complicated topic. First, as to the first two commenters, my take is that there may be more agreement between them than is evident. Hafta's comments seemed to have a flavor of the devil's advocate, and tamo's comments are clearly a reflection of a doc's perspective.
And as far as the Globe's approach to the topic, it's clear that their intentions are good. But there are at least two different topics getting fused together here. Topic 1. is docs who have been unacceptably poor performers in one way or other. Yes, it is good for people to have information about providers so they can make a personal decision about who to see. If someone has a history of criminal behavior, that's important to know. On the other hand, as tamo insinuated, malpractice information is oftentimes ambiguous. Some good doctors get chased by patients who are more of a problem than the doctor ever was. So the type of malpractic info is important, as is how it is used.
The second topic which is melded into the Globe's article here is health control cost containment. That is very much a separate topic from the type of information that is desired in this database. While there are qualitative differences between health care providers, it is simply impossible to collect, verify, and clearly document the type of information which would truly allow a person to say, "I'm going to see provider A because he/she is just as good and is less expensive than provider B". It simply cannot happen like that. Explaining that problem is worthy of a very long article, all by itself. But for starters, much of health care is related to the relationship between patient and provider. Yes, surgery and technical procedures are much less dependent on that. But primary care, mental health, pediatrics, and many other areas of health care are dependent on the subjective experience of the relationship. A computerized database simply cannot address that issue.
Criticism of the Board for not having information on the doctor in question in this case is misplaced. The doctor had a license in MA at some point. He was arrested in Pennsylvania in 2008. The offense did not happen here while he was practicing here. He hasn't practiced here in years apparently. He has been in prison since 2011 it appears. The Board took action to revoke his right to renew his MA license recently, so they preemptively told him not to come back to them when he gets out of prison.What more should they do? What patient is considering seeking treatment from him? If you google his name, his trial details come up and it is a heinous offense by an individual likely never to practice medicine again in any state in the US. It seems that the Globe and the legislature are looking to find a flaw in the Board's actions rather than to set up a system with true value for the public. The original Globe story that prompted profiles changes in the legislature was written by students looking for a story for a journalism class. It focused on the lack of a profile from one of two doctors in a malpractice case and never mentioned the profile of the other doctor who was fully licensed in MA and had the case listed. Profiles did what the law at the time required. The other doctor didn't practice here and had no local profile because the law applied to licensed MA physicians. Blame the legislature not the Board. There are plenty of areas where state govt. has room to improve and the Board is included but please write about real issues of impact to the public.
The State is simply covering up or protecting those who it sees as credibly bringing benefit to the Commonwealth or the industry of medicine (including pharma, insurance etc). Doctors are like gods here in the Commonwealth so G-d forbid we should offend them. Simply the powerful protecting their own interests, not equal justice for all.
Well, the real problem is that doctors oversee doctors, just like lawyers oversee lawyers. Everybody has a vested interest.
Real regulation would involve descisions made by non-doctors only. There's no valid reason that the composition of the board be mostly M.D.'s, and there are a myriad of reasons that it should not.
We all know what happens when Wall Street is left to regulate itself. We have the same situation in medicine. It's very likely that what we see here is foot dragging by people who aren't at all enthusiastic about the information being available. If you want to see an example of that, read the post by LawyerInMass.
Our Medical Licensing system in this country is a bit like the Catholic Church. If you lose your license in one state you can always go practice in another. Until the medical community begins functioning openly and honestly with the public and leaves off the "old boy" mentality we will continue to have a contentious relationship with each other.
This is really not that complicated, and in the grand scheme of databases, the data set is small. In 2006, there were 23,548 licensed physicians in the state (http://www.massmed.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=News_Releases&CONTENTID=15224&TEMPLATE=/CM/ContentDisplay.cfm)
If we round up to, say, 25,000 today, that is still a very small data set. California, which gets almost NOTHING right, has a wonderful registry that allows access not only to disciplinary actions, but to detailed transcripts of the decisions as well. Massachusetts has a history of incompetant elected officials and appointed bureaucrats, which given not only tje native talent pool but the number of people (I among them) who want to live in the state is inexcusable. but until there is a culture of excellence and accountability from the top down, there will be no substantive changes.
The assertion that this is not complicated sounds like it is coming from a member of the computer community. Sure, numbers mean nothing to a computer. They can track endless numbers. They can store endless data. But knowing which data to collect, how to frame it, and what kind of decisions can be intelligently made from it is nothing if not complicated.
DJM71-The database does not have to be built from whole cloth. The structure for the DB and the algorithms and queries have already been written for at least one other state, that is, CA. I don't know if they created their own or if they use a provider, but you clearly know nothing about DBs. This is not groundbreaking new work, and any professional worth their salt would already be in contact with other state regulators to explore possible solutions. Massachusetts tends to use words like 'complicated" as smokescreens for laziness, incompetance, or other, more nefarious motives.
Speaking of HealthCare, here's some news that the Globe FORGOT to report. From the AP last Friday
2/15/13 WASHINGTON (AP) -- Citing financial concerns, the Obama administration has begun quietly winding down one of the earliest programs created by the president's health care overhaul, a plan that helps people with medical problems who can't get private insurance.
In an afternoon teleconference with state counterparts, administration officials said Friday the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan will stop taking new applications. People already in the plan will not lose coverage."
Notice the AP's wording "the Obama administration has begun QUIETLY WINDING DOWN"..I guess that Obama (and HIS name is on this) has decided that you SUCKERS who thought that the "Affordable Health Care Act" is really UNAFFORDABLE. Anybody with a pre-existing condition is OUT OF LUCK.

So I recently told I woman that I care about that I am a non-believer. She is a "christian" and just as I thought she instantly withdrew. Well I've had family members do the exact same thing. This kind of response can be painful and comical at the same time. I would be interested to here other stories and points of view on this.
Sorry to hear about your closed minded ex. Shame she couldn't see past the fact that you two were having a good time and had to assume you were one of those moralless, murdering, raping, plundering atheists you hear about so much.
I've also had people have a change of opinion in me just because of my stance on religion. I can remember in 6th grade talking about it and seeing how shocked they were at such an opinion. They just had no idea that somebody could not believe in what they do. Hopefully this will be a minority way of thinking one day, shame none of us will be around to see it.
Yeah it is quite pitiful that we have to defend reality while others defend fiction. Thanks for the concern and input. They'll make movies about this nonsense years from now.
i rarely get a gasp from telling other people, because most people doesn't really care somehow @_@ except for my family of course..and some remarks that i easily brush off since my friends love to joke around and in a way caring tho annoying...lol
Well being from the bible belt if you don't believe they look at you like you have a phallus growing out of your forehead. Friends, family, strangers....the sad thing is, contrary to popular stereotypes, there are some very intelligent people in the south. Just not when it comes to religion.
Painful, eh? Then frustrating, later it's somewhat comical, and eventually it leaves you feeling mildly sad. My Aunt "withdrew" emotionally after I told her. She used to be somewhat of a second Mother or maybe just a very loving mentor. I think she felt I was rejecting not just our faith, but also a large part of her. She thought I was arrogant for wanting better answers than those provided by Catholicism. I'm sure she also thinks I've become morally depraved...recently I've sensed a certain nervous energy about her when I am within speaking distance of her children. I am sure she is thinking something like, "Oh, God, shield my innocent babies (16 and 24) from Kairan's evil, evil reasoning!"
Since I came out atheist, she hasn't called and we no longer do things together. Now, we're still polite when we meet at family get-togethers and she says the things a caring relative should say. She isn't warm or genuinely interested. In my opinion, she's playing the part of a dutiful, "caring Christian." Ick.
I guess I could try to talk to her about the change but I'm kind of peeved.
Yeah your situation sounds a lot like the relationship I share with my sister. But luckily she annoys me crap out of so I'm not really at a loss. My other sister and I also have a broken relationship but she is nucking futs so I have no problems there either. And of all the nieces and nephews I have there are a few logical thinkers in the bunch, Once they escape the mothers wing they'll come around to reality....I can't wait.
It happens. I've had friends who knew me for more than a year without knowing I was an atheist, withdraw when they found out. I've had friends who've known me for more than FIVE years - since BEFORE I was an atheist - distance themselves from me because they don't like that I'm more outspoken about my atheism than I used to be. I hate feeling like I have to censor myself when I hear friends constantly talking about god, church, and praying. Recently, a Christian friend jokingly said "Oh, I can't do (whatever it was), that's so bad, I'll go to hell," and I laughed and jokingly replied, "No you won't, there is no hell." She didn't get upset but was obviously a little miffed and changed the subject. I just figure that eventually I'll replace all the people who can't accept me because I don't believe in sky fairies with people who prefer to be rational about the world, like myself. It hurts but I think the more you widen your circle of like-minded people, the easier it gets to lose the ones who don't fit into that circle. I kinda get a giggle, actually, out of imagining former friends sitting around talking about what a bad person I am because I'm an atheist.
That's a good attitude!
