I vote fail.
Almost 30 and feeling it..
Today I realized I'm almost 30. I also realized I'm overweight, out of shape and picked up some really nasty habits in the past 10 years. I moved out when I was 18 and haven't really changed since. Smoking, eating bad, watching TV, playing MMO's and multi-player FPS's..
Today I got myself a treadmill, a workout mat and some free weights. I have a free room I'm going to turn into a gym in the hopes of at least shedding off a few pounds of fat and gaining a few pounds of muscle.
I also plan on getting rid of all the nasty things I eat and stocking up on fruits, veggies and raw meats. I'm a very lazy cook, and most of the stuff I eat can easily be tossed in the oven or microwave. I rarely actually cook anything.
Knowing myself, I probably won't change my eating habits. I'll probably hit the gym once for 15 minutes and never go in that room again. This is kinda why I'm creating this journal. I'll update it with how much I worked out, routines, what I ate, recipes and other meep I discover along my journey.. or I'll fail miserably and this will be the last journal entry..
April 15th 2011
Bought some vitamins this morning, centrum cardio (good for cholesterol).. Dead tired though so no workout today. Had some fruit for breakfast (2 banana's and an apple) and up to my 2nd litre of water. I hear drinking lot's of water is an important part in flushing out toxins. Sadly, my camera is ded but I'll start posting pics of the home/gym and food once I get a new cam.. checking prices at best buy..
April 16th 2011
2x 30 min job.
200 push-ups through out the day.
Looking at quick 10min full body workout's I can do in the morn before jogging every other day.
No breakfast.. this has to change
Turkey sandwich on white bread for lunch.
Frozen fish (haddock) with rice and veggies for supper.. sad thing, everything was frozen/processed except the rice, it was instant. But that's going to change shortly, found 3 butchers around me (2 halal), there's Hatian fruit/vegetable store 2 mins away and a farmer's market (this one) one subway stop away. I'm going to start visiting these places more often.
I'm looking for some quick/healthy recipes so I can compile a list of ingredients before I go grocery shopping.
I'm also going to try and quit smoking but I will keep playing Black Ops. I realize that working out will relive stress, but I need a definite outlet. I'm looking at taking a class or something I can do outside in the mean time. I could go to the shooting range but it's expensive, far and kinda complicated here in Canada. I'm still too out of shape to take up an actual sport right now.. maybe after a few months of dieting and cardio, I might be able to enjoy some form of sport and dump the FPS's all together.
I played a lot of world of warcraft, but it's been months since I logged on.. lately a lot of black ops..
thing is I don't cook.. I can't cook meep besides scrambled eggs and frying a steak.. for example. tonight I ate take out general tao chicken with steamed rice.. I usually get take-out 5-6 times a week.. A lot of people tell me just changing my diet does wonders..
I'm trying to combine both exercise and healthy eating.. I'll try to put up some pics of the home/gym, need some help to get the treadmill in that room.. I'm thinking of mounting a nice 21" in front of it.. I also got a nice closet with mirrored doors.. I'll try to make some videos/pics of the stuff I cook/eat..
You can cook anything you wanna '(cept maybe things like cheese souffle. That meep takes more talent than I have.)
What makes it even easier is YOU HAVE THE INNERNATZ!
Apparently you're not illiterate,and cooking directions are frequently in point form. The web has thousands of cookbooks for kitchen simpletons.
Next up! Learn to like cooking.
Whipping up a meal for one or two is easy,and quick, once you know how.
it's mostly laziness.. I have very unstable work hours.. in fact it's 3:24 am and I'm on a conference troubleshooting some url encoding that gets mangled before hitting back-end applications and I have a presentation and training to give tomorrow at 1pm, in 9 hours to be exact.. I won't be cooking meep in between.. it's usually get up, shower, meep shaving and probably pick up a guru and a muffin on the way to work.
I can't cook...
This is such a bullmeep statement. There is no skill required to cook healthy meals. Reading a recipe and following simple instructions in front of a counter and a stove are skills that most 5 year olds have mastered. This is nothing but a lazy cop out.
You can prepare a salad, steam some broccoli and grill a sirloin in about 15 minutes. If you clean up while you work the whole meal will have a grand total of 20 minutes invested in it. Having been around FPS addicts, I can assume that you have absolutely no problem meeping off in front of that game for hours on end - so this excuse that you can't do it is literal bullmeep.
Now, if you wish to live on take-out and microwaveable corn byproducts (which is exactly what 90% of microwavable food is), you will never be healthy. Even if you do spend an hour a day in your new gym, you'll still be eating garbage and that garbage will make you look and feel like meep. Sitting static for hours on end at work, during your commute to and from work, and as a hobby after work is a great way to ensure that your sick body will store every meepty meal you eat as fat. Your organs are being effected by this lifestyle as well and, eventually, so will your mind - long before it should.
My wife and I just attended the funeral of a dear friend who killed himself in almost exactly the same manner. At the ripe old age of 47 he dropped dead of complications related to the type II diabetes that he inflicted upon himself due to his lazy lifestyle and meepty eating habits. He left a 16 year old boy and a 14 year old girl to fend for themselves in the process. The meeptiest part is, they're both on the same path to self destruction that he took to an early grave.
You are not entitled to a healthy body. You have to use common sense and a bit of self self control sprinkled with a dash of self respect to maintain your life vessel. If you cannot manage these simple self maintenance duties, your quality of life will continue to decline and you will have nobody to blame but the pasty blob in the mirror.
So, can the meeping excuses and take at least minimal amount of interest in yourself and your health. Otherwise, meep off and die with the rest of the lazy retarded slobs in this country.
Honest to really, cooking is easy.
First and foremost: Don't be lazy about it.
Second: Don't be scared of cooking. "I can't do that" is bullmeep, especially
with the cornucopia of cookbooks on the internet.
If you can follow directions, you can cook.
Doing dishes IS a pain in the meep for most people, but you don't have to empty dish and cookware cupboards to cook even a days worth of meals.
Get your self a portable dishwasher, if they're that daunting.
Personally, I like washing dishes. It's a nice solitary no brainer activity
that results in something accomplished when it's done, even if it's a minor something.
I'm with dragonstaff on this one, but in the spirit of my recent resolution to look more kindly on my fellow apes, here are a few tips:
No job / money is worth croaking of heart disease at 40. You will be surprised just how much you can push back on the management if you say "i'm going to be offline for a few hours, gotta go work out / train" instead of "i've gotta go play WoW and smoke bongs".
Loose the video game addiction. Video games are stupid and teach you to loose. Most chicks think it's boring and gross, and they're right.
Take up an outdoor activity, any outdoor activity (what did you enjoy as a child?). Most chicks this they're fun and cool, and they're right.
Don't think you're gonna work out by yourself in your house. Sign up for classes. Pay for 6 months in advance, so you have an economic incentive to keep showing up.
Get a meeping martial art you fat meep. Pay for 6 months in advance, so you have an economic incentive to keep showing up.
Find people to cook with and for. Invite people. Get invited. Make plans. Enjoy company. Be polite, enjoyable company.
And finally, learn to enjoy doing dishes. It is a zen activity worthy of respect.
Take charge of your meeping life you worthless piece of meep.
Ive always hated the idea of burning an hour in a gym. Last summer i bought a bike (Marin 29er) for the 10mi each way commute to work. Then I got rid of the second car.
Best thing i ever did. I still need to eat better (i have a vicious sweet tooth that undermines the healthy food my wife cooks), but i pretty much put myself in the position of having to exercise 2x a day for a half hour.
good luck.
At thirty, I was doing an unbelievable amount of food, beer, and even the occasional line. At nearly twice that, I have coffee with a single shot for breakfast, two bong hits, and a light lunch, then a chunk of meat with some kind of veggie for dinner. I went from a stone's throw from 300lbs to a steady 165-to175 (I'm six foot even). I work my meep off every day I can. We cook all our own meep. It's fun. Learn it...way better than anything in the restaurants. I'm in better shape now than I was at your age, and I smoke more pot, eat better food, and do more things. I just wish I hadn't blown out my joints so I'm so sore every morning....lose that weight now.
Wotak has some of the best wisdom I've seen as of late to share. If you are serious about changing your life, no amount of gym rooms will fix it. Slap the excuses out of your mouth and take some real personal responsibility. Meep motivation, it is called god meep reality. I woke up once with the same realization you shared, it can be done, if it doesn't it lies squarely on your shoulders.
That being said, make it ritualistic if you want to maintain it at first. Do the same activities at the same time daily. Also, keep it simple, no reason to spend more time shopping for the gym room than your meep is going to be in it.
I appreciate all the advice and I do agree, it's all on me. I've been living like this for over 10 years. Starting new meep isn't as easy as it sounds. It takes a meep-load of motivation to break a 10 year routine instant gratification and over indulgence. It's not like I don't enjoy the way I'm living/used to live. I love it! I just don't like what I'm becoming and that's what make it difficult.. but I'm sure a few more gems like "Take charge of your meeping life you worthless piece of meep." will help motivate my meep..
just get it in your head that you want to be healthy. everything else will fall into place if you can do that. think about what you're doing, make conscious decisions and form better habits.
i gaurantee you'll start feeling better after removing meep food from your diet.
as far as this gym thing goes, i think it's a stupid thing and you're wasting your money. if you want to be active then go do something constructive. like yardwork. keep a garden with vegetables that you can eat. go outside and do something
Video game habit: Needs to go. Period. Delete your PC games and sell your consoles. Video games meep your mind into a fall sense of accomplishment. The few friends I have who still game are tossers. Nice people, good friends, but tossers. Don't be a meep. Even staring at a wall for hours on end is better than video games...at least doing that you would develop some mental stillness. Which by the way, is a good thing to develop, because a still mind is a strong mind is a focused mind. Video games meep that up.
Diet: Keep it simple and cooking won't be a chore. Brown rice is a good carb staple. There are good, cheap salad mixes at places like Trader Joes and Fresh & Easy (lettuce is useless, go for things like baby spinach, arugula, herbs and spring greens). Avoid dressing besides olive oil and vinegar. Make apples, bananas, mixed nuts, and dried fruit your snack foods. Go for lean meats. Drink lots of water and lots of green tea.
Exercise: Keep this simple too so it's easy to maintain. Start off with pushups (I recommend perfect pushups), crunches, and a 2 mile run. Do that routine every other day. Once you start feeling good branch out to other exercises. Yoga once a week would be a good investment. Working out stoned is awesome (but only smoke a little) - increases body awareness, focus, and dulls the muscle pain. When you work up to it, try running stoned in Vibram Five Fingers - you'll feel like a gazelle.
Smoking: Not sure what to tell you here. I smoked cigarettes for almost 10 years, and quit 6 months ago. IMO focus on the other aspects of your life and you will develop enough mental discipline and appreciation towards your body to walk away from smoking pretty painlessly.
Misc: Challenge yourself and get out of your comfort zone. Take dance lessons and start reading The Brothers Karamazov. Take a couple weeks off and backpack through Central America. Doing stuff life this gives you the positive momentum that breaks bad habits.
That's my spiel.
tiny update..
my meep needs a bit more motivation.. I'm eating right and have been for a month now (couple of times I ordered a pizza).. haven't really experimented alot with cooking new meep, mostly stuff I already knew..
I'm not really working out.. I seem to be way too tired to even get my meep on the treadmill.. any advice on beating this tired thing.. I generally have 3-4 hours of sleep a night, 6-7 on weekends.. trying for 8 but I can't sleep during the day and have been working alot of nights since February, hence the 3-4 hours a night.
still smoking and can't quit.. I've somewhat accepted that fact making it even harder.. I'm thinking of volunteering in a hospital, cancer ward and maybe that'll wake my dumb meep up..
so yeah..not alot of progress..
Sounds like you still need to find something hobby-wise that'll motivate you to move yer meep.
You could check your paper's event section, wander around your local downtown area or mall and just look at what people are into.
I'm gonna be 40 next week and I'm thinking of taking up barbecueing for events.
So I started working out alot more.. I'm really out of shape.. picked up the p90x video a few days ago and gave it a try.. it's been 4 days.. gonna hit it tonight again.. anybody else try this meep? I can't finish a video, I'm exhausted half way trough but I'll keep at it an pace myself until I can do the whole thing.. I think it'll be a while before I do..
I've also been jogging/speed walking a kilometer every morning with a quick workout routine (pushups, squats, pushups and more squats) and eating right too. I've been hitting the farmers market a lot too. I'm still didn't get into the whole cooking thing yet.. but I have a few recipes lined up for next week.
Still play some BlackOps, I don't know why, but sniping head shots are a great stress outlet. Work is a lot more quiet, I'm starting a steady 9-5 schedule, no more random nights and weekends for a while, hopefully long enough for me to change my ways..
So it's been a month and a half and I'm finally getting my meep in gear. A big thanks to everybody for you're advice and encouragement. I'll try to keep you guy's posted and if I changed my mind and figure before after picks and journals aren't too meep, I'll post them up too.
you silly. start out small. work on strength training. otherwise you will be sore for days and go nowhere. also after each workout, have a protein shake. two tablespoons of whey protein powder mixed with some lowfat milk. it tastes nice.
if you need help with cooking, there are many swarmers that, from what i can tell, know their way around the kitchen.
It might seem like I'm not pacing myself, but I am. I'm not overdoing anything and I think the limits I set for myself aren't above the out of shape state I'm in. I din't mention, but I'm doing the lean program of p90x and it's mostly cardio, stretching/yoga and some heavy stuff (chest and arms video involves about 500 pushups), but it's once a week in my rotation. I'm doing the push ups and squats, 50 of each in the morning just to get my body used to working out and I'll up the load but most of it consists of cardio until I feel I'm ready to take it up a notch with some intense weight training.. I'm am into the whole protein thing as well, eating 8 times a day and taking up to 75%-80% of protein a day (1gram/ pound of weight) since I'm mostly doing cardio.
what you're doing seems pretty heavy if you're just starting out. work your way up. do as many reps as you can until it starts to hurt, then do 10 more. trust me, i've been there. you'll eventually get to the point where you can do this program easily and all the way through, given time. it's good you're doing the protein thing, your muscles need it to repair themselves.

Adlai E. Stevenson High School located in Lincolnshire, Illinois. Huge school, 4000+ students. A million clubs and sport teams. Kids come from Lincolnshire, Buffalo Grove, Long Grove, ect.
Good place to be (BGHS sucks) Visitor: "Damn this school is big. Kids must be lost."
Random Kid: "Uh, no, both buildings are just squares..." Freshman: "Ahh! I'm going to be late!!" Senior: "Haha, freshman. I love stevenson..." |

Adlai E. Stevenson High School (SHS) is a school located at 1 Stevenson Drive Lincolnshire, Illinois. The school was established in 1965 yet somehow managed to be awful since 1964.
SHS has more money that it knows what to do with. Unfortunately this money goes into aesthetics rather than improving the smell of the buildings. The smell of ass can be smelled in classrooms in both the New and Old building. But the school decided instead to add a "point" to the old building and give the entrance the look of an airport. A butt ugly statue that even when completely entombed in Ivy and dirt will still be hideous because you know it is still there looking as stupid and ugly as all get resides on the side of the school facing route 22. Ladder of peace, more like waste of space. Security guards are bountiful at Stevenson as well. While a majority of the student body wouldn't have the balls to defend themselves in a fist fight the school see the need to have an army of 45-79 year olds at the ready, in case a fight does break out. The security personnel then become bored and look to enforce EVERY stupid rule in the rule book of the school. They also enjoy cruising around in school owned Beauvilles the parking lots of the school and the neighboring streets off-campus(where they have no jurisdiction) looking for Freshmen and Sophomores who are not on-campus. They fail to notice of course that kids can just go over a hill and be free from security. Adlai E. Stev... |

Adlai E Stevenson High School (SHS)
It is the local public high school in lincolnshire Illinois. It is considered as one of the best in the country and contains over 4,500 students. The mascot is the patriot, sporting the school colors green and gold. There are two large buildings (dubbed the old and new building) Despite the size, anyone with an ounce of logic can manage to not get lost because of the convenient signs posted at any given intersection of hallways. The new building is shaped like a square, making it even harder to get lost because all you have to do to find your way back is to continue walking. There are an amazingly high amount of security guards who bust kids and write them up for disobeying the stupidest rules. For example, sitting on the stairs, having your cell phone out inside a building before school starts (just recently changed, actually), and telling members of there many sports teams to put their equipment in their incredibly inconvenient lockers or else they will be written up for carrying a weapon (sorry to the hockey, field hockey, baseball, and lacrosse teams) There is also a club for almost anything imaginable and many electives to choose. Besides that, there are an ample amount of accelerated, honors, and AP classes to place into or choose. As for food, the vending machines are stocked with junk food, ice cream, and zero calorie coke-related sodas. For lunch, there is rarely a healthy choice. As for busses, they can be described as over cr... |

There are few people alive capable of rendering Stephen Colbert speechless, but apparently Mandy Patinkin is one of them.
The famously intense actor, nominated for a Golden Globe for his role as CIA operative Saul Berenson on the Showtime drama "Homeland," paid a visit to "The Colbert Report" on Wednesday night. After some chit-chat about Patinkin's truly impressive Old Testament-style beard, Colbert got down to business, asking whether working on "Homeland" had made him more or less afraid of terrorism.
"I'm not frightened about terrorism," Patinkin replied. "I'm frightened about the roots of what we call terrorism."
Best of 2012: Movies | TV | Music | Jazz | Pop Music | Video Games
It was exactly the kind of distinction that drives Colbert, the blowhard conservative character, mad. "Let's blame America! Go ahead!" he said, rolling his eyes.
Patinkin said that he does blame America, but only to some extent. He explained that a show like "Homeland" does something that the most even-handed documentary can't: "In the hands of good writers you have the opportunity to present both sides of an opinion equally and that you leave it to the audience to listen and then make up their own minds."
"That is called propaganda, because if you give a moment's humanity to your enemy, then he wins," Colbert replied. He continued to push Patinkin, asking him whether he'd have gone to war against Saddam Hussein (no), or under any circumstances whatsoever (well, not exactly).
"I would go to war with words, not weapons. I would die talking before I lifted a weapon," he explained. "I think that's the answer to peace in the Middle East. Peace in the Middle East isn't going to be created by another war or violent act on the other side. It's going to be created by someone like yourself and someone like me, two individuals who have a belief and who can talk to another group of individuals and people start changing their minds. It's not a magic trick."
Colbert's audience erupted in applause, but the host himself sat silently, apparently unable to come up with a quippy response – quite a rarity for someone with his lightning wit. Though surely Patinkin knew Colbert was in character, his responses were deeply, passionately heartfelt, and the contrast made for some riveting television.

General Motors Co. said Monday it will offer a twin-turbo V-6 engine and eight-speed transmission — both firsts for the automaker — in its all-new 2014 Cadillac CTS available this fall.
The new 3.6-liter engine can achieve 420 horsepower and 430 foot-pounds of torque, and has been certified as having the highest output in a V-6 engine in General Motors' history, said Richard Bartlett, assistant chief engineer for the engine.
"The new Cadillac twin turbo brings a new dimension of technologically advanced performance to the all-new 2014 Cadillac CTS sedan," David Leone, a GM executive chief engineer, said in a statement. "Delivering power and sophistication, it marks another large step forward in the product-driven expansion of Cadillac."
The engine is married with an eight-speed transmission, which will provide a 1.5 percent fuel economy improvement over a six-speed transmission, Leone said. He would not provide exact mileage, but said it will be above the mid-20s on the highway and that mileage in the city would be respectable.
"It's not a guzzler," he said.
GM said the twin turbo — which is not a replacement for the high-performance V-8 engine in its CTS V-Series — will have more horsepower and torque than the BMW 5-Series equipped with a 4.4-liter V-8. Bartlett said the twin-turbo powerplant weighs less than engines in key competitors.
"From a density standpoint, we think we've got a very competitive product here," he said.
The new engine will help the CTS go from zero to 60 miles per hour in 4.6 seconds; it can hit a top speed of 170 mph.
New for the 2014 CTS model, a 2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder rated at 272 horsepower will serve as the base engine and get about 30 mpg highway. That's a variant of the engine offered in the Cadillac ATS and replaces a 3 liter V-6 engine as the CTS base.
Cadillac also will offer a 3.6-liter V-6 naturally aspirated engine in the new CTS, a variant of one offered in the ATS but with increased torque. That will generate 321 horsepower.
The new V-6 twin-turbo engine also will be available in the 2014 Cadillac XTS large sedan.
"All of the people who said XTS needed a V-8, well today you know why we did not do that," GM North America President Mark Reuss tweeted Monday. "Twin-turbo V-6 will make you smile."
The carmaker will reveal the new CTS next week at the New York International Auto Show.
GM partnered with suppliers Mitsubishi Heavy Industries for the turbocharger and Aisin Seiki Co. Ltd. of Japan for the eight-speed automatic transmission which works with paddle shifters. The twin-turbo engine will be produced at a GM plant in Mexico.
GM is working on its own eight-speed transmission but it's not ready yet, Leone said.

I am sorry. To all those I encouraged, sorry I misled you into thinking your efforts would not go unrewarded. And that you could change the course the nation is headed on.
I'm sorry that America spoke loud and clear when they chose welfare over freedom. I'm sorry voter ID was struck down in an effort to sanction voter fraud.
I'm sorry the poor gents in Benghazi had a socialist dictator as their lifeline. May God rest their souls.
I am sorry our children are saddled with an inconceivable debt and sorry that they may never know the America our founding fathers intended. I am sorry our brave men and women of the United States military are nothing more than pawns to our president.
I am sorry we re-elected a community organizer whose first political meeting was held in the living room of the scariest American terrorist of modern times. I am sorry he was re-elected because of voter fraud, entitlements and the color of his skin.
I am sorry that, according to the general under-informed public, celebrity appeal and good public speaking are priority requisites for our commander in chief. I am sorry the Constitution is a worthless document to the leader of the free world.
I am sorry that all of the fears of four more years are now becoming our reality. I am sorry the sound of slamming doors is small businesses across the country closing shop.
I am very sorry that the fate of the ill is at the mercy of Obama's death panel. I am sorry that the unqualified panel doesn't hold a medical degree, but rather, are driven by greed and corporate red tape.
I am sorry we won't be able to afford to drive our cars because of high fuel prices. I am sorry our president doesn't want us to be self-reliant like we are certainly capable of. I am sorry he is also building a society of citizens that are not self-reliant either. I am sorry the good guy doesn't always win in the end.
I am sorry that as I pound the keyboard, the anger swells in my gut….
I am sorry my anger is turning into resentment.
And I am sorry to those on the left because that resentment is metastasizing into motivation. And I'm sorry that the motivation is merging with loyalty. Democrats, I am sorry that you think the freedom fighters have been successfully silenced and squandered. I am sorry that you're foolish enough to think this hushed the silent majority. I am sorry that you'll soon learn the days of our silence are days gone by.
I am sorry you'll discover that we're far from defeated. I am sorry that you'll learn the sour taste of war at the hands of the patriots ready to die for their country. I am sorry that we will stand shoulder-to-shoulder to defend our rights and preserve our freedoms that our founding father envisioned.
I am sorry you haven't yet seen the conservative beast unleashed. I am real sorry that you're about to. I am sorry we will not give up until we are dead and gone. And sorry that, even then, we'll stand with a God we openly praise, and fight from above.
I am sorry we will not give up the right to defend ourselves, our faith, our family and our freedom, with our lives if necessary. Or that we believe in individual freedoms.
I am sorry that I refuse to be treated like a man. Or that I believe life shouldn't be seen as a fair game where everyone gets a first-place trophy. I am sorry that as a single mom without child support, I refuse to collect entitlements at the hand of the top 1 percent.
I am sorry that I think women's liberation movement and feminism screwed it up for freedom-loving females everywhere. I am sorry that I have a problem with my tax dollars going to kill your babies and pay for your whoring. I am sorry that I think government has no place in our home, or that I don't think the children of undocumented illegals should have the same rights as my American-born daughter. I am sorry that the only issue I am in in agreement with you on this is embryonic stem cell research. I am sorry that you have to murder the unborn – and sorry that I feel we should find triumph in the tragedy by using the pieces to try and save the lives of the terminally ill. I am sorry that I am in agreement with you on just one issue.
I am sorry that a group of people large enough to reelect the scariest president in the nation's history really exists. I am sorry that there are that many ignorant people in the United States of America. I am sorry that a man that may, or may not, be American-born is the commander in chief of what used to be the free world.
I am sorry the movie 2016 is going to be our autobiography. I am sorry a man named Barrack Hussein Obama is the president of the United States of America. I am terribly sorry he stood at the Tomb of the Unknown on a day meant to honor our fallen heroes without his hand on his heart or so much as a salute.
I am sorry I am angry. What I am not sorry for is the fearless, freedom-fighting friends I have made along the way. Or for the lessons I have learned. I am not sorry that I refuse to be silenced, or that I promise you, on my soul, that the fight has just begun. I am not sorry that we will use the next four horrifying years to get stronger and become a force undefeatable.
I am not apologetic that we are fierce, strong, determined and smart. Or that we will stand shoulder-to-shoulder and walk through the gates of hell defending our freedoms with our life if necessary.
I am sorry you won, but I am not sorry you're about to learn what it's like to piss off freedom-loving patriots.

Now Randy has the sudden bravado to call out "a subtle threat" under the guise of wanting "to bring us all together for the good of a nation."
Good luck with that Randy.

Death panels for Medicare and Medicaid patients are already a reality taoist. Doctors, nurses and staff have already coined (and I do mean coined) a p.c. code for it. It's now being called "the pathway", or simply "the path" for short and the number of patients chosen for it has dramatically increased over the past several years. Do your homework before spouting such nonsense tao.

Everyone has their right to their own opionion however, sometimes if you haven't anything nice to say, you shouldn't say anything at all.

You could have written this blog in a nicer way and still have gotten your message across. . I hope you are not raising your daughter to be so angry. Why when I click on the other bloggers name here on the Patch you get a little background information about them but when I clicked on your name nothing comes up?

Yes, Ms. Lorraine has returned. Is she still a regional "organizer" for my favorite Koch brothers-funded "grassroots" Super PAC, Americans for Prosperity?
I wonder, after the miscalculations of the 2012 presidential election, if the Koch boys would have better luck resuscitating one of their dad Fred's favorite issues, the "water fluoridization is a communist plot to poison American children" meme? Perhaps this is a concept the "conservative beast" can really "unleash themselves" over... ; )

Hmmmm. we say the same things about the MSM, George Soros, Think Progress, Daily Kos, all the newspapers...whatever. There are people who are unelected and don't have to be doctors that will telling states how many procedures will be allowed...once that amount is reached, nobody will be able to have that test...it is called rationing...those same unelected non doctors will be able to choose life or death for many of you...Obama did say that people will just have to be given pain killers if treatment options for older people won't do as good if the same treatment goes to a younger person.....so there is a death panel...right now if you go to the hospital and are treated then sent home, you can't go back with recurring symptoms for up to 30 days or the hospital is fined, that just went into effect. Abortion is covered even though obama promised it wasn't and was even called a liar by Congressman Wilson at his SOU speech and it turns out he was correct.....See many of us have read the document because we are business owners who are laying off people right now in order to afford the taxes and the regulations.....we are making sure to put people with Obama Stickers on their cars, first on the lay off list...you get what you vote for.
1:53 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
"right now if you go to the hospital and are treated then sent home, you can't go back with recurring symptoms for up to 30 days or the hospital is fined,"
Do you know why that is? It is so that hospitals won't be tempted to discharge patients early and without making sure the patient has adequate home support to make sure medication is taken, etc. It's called good medicine.
As for the rest of it, you seem to be conflating health insurance, Medicaid and Medicare all together. Are you doing the right thing and dropping your personal health coverage since you object to paying for that of your employees?
2:02 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
Naynay, pre-ACA and even now you have severely underqualified people denying claims and treatments, wasting the time of physicians and hospitals, and review panels whose focus is protecting profits. That's the for-profit health insurance industry you apparently prefer. A middle man that gets in between patients and health services. Doesn't it make more sense to take the middle man out of the equation? But the Affordable Care Act is not a national healthcare program, would that it were. I perceive it as an attempt to rein in the profiteering of the health insurance middle man. If it doesn't work, this country seriously needs to consider a NH plan.

Of course not - you are a compassionate liberal - living in Muskego just about says it all..
5:12 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
Anti, ALEC is a special interest-type organization with bi-partisan legislative membership (although there are far more GOP members). I am of the firm belief that the influence of special interest groups, not just ALEC is proving ruinous to our country's financial health and security over the long term. If our nation is to be truly "equal opportunity" that means equal access to legislators, even if the constituent can't offer a book deal or other perks. Obviously that's an idealistic view, but one I believe to be inherently sound.

It's really got nothing to do with men and women, Heather (other than the fact that if you can sell this notion that the GOP is nothing but crusty old white men, you can attempt to set up Hillary's run in 2016). It's got to do with the extremes on either side being unwilling to give up their hardened positions. It's not gonna change.
Hence, there's no sense complaining about logjams in Washington and a lack of coming together. They're only doing what the voters want them to do, as evidenced by the results of this election. More of the same stuff we've had over the past 4 years.

Depends on what you mean by "work together". B.O. and the Democrats didn't even stick out a hand these last four years. B.O. Care is the best example. Once it passed the Senate, and the Dems had a majority in the House they could have approached the Republicans and said "look, something is going to pass. Either this piece of garbage which will burden the middle class and ruin the economy, or something we can come up with together."
But none of that happened. Another wasted opportunity brought to you by B.O.

So, I have a serious question. When the author states, "I am sorry that you'll learn the sour taste of war at the hands of the patriots ready to die for their country," how are we supposed to read that?
Personally, I think she's just being a hysterical sore loser, but that might be a seriously threatening statement. Is Noelle Lorraine planning to go on a killing spree? I mean, it's either shockingly insensitive or downright reckless to make these kinds of statements in light of the fact that we've had two local mass shootings this year. I hope Patch is doing the responsible thing and reporting this kind of violent rhetoric to the proper authorities.

It's a metaphor Tao. We have seen our freedoms eroding away over the past several decades. First Social Security forced upon us, then Medicare, now B.O.Care. I no longer have the choice to carry health insurance or not. B.O. has made that choice for me.
12:31 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
Only in conservative-land is almost eight decades 'several'. It shows the same wealth of historical knowledge as when Ms. Lorraine tried to tell us that the GOP was the party of Lincoln and civil rights for black people.
I don't like the individual mandate either, Alinsky, but neither do I like paying for your healthcare indirectly through cost of goods and services or increased medical costs to cover bad debts while I have none for myself. Here's a thought -- the GOP still controls the House. You guys give us a healthcare system that works better than the ACA and I'm sure it will be popular.
Or by freedom, do you mean the freedom to get your health insurance through your business while not covering your employees?

The human mind, in its desire to know, understand, and control, mistakes its opinions and viewpoints for the truth. It says: this is how it is. You have to be larger than thought to realize that, however you interpret "your life" or someone else's life or behavior, however you judge any situation, it is no more than a viewpoint, one of many possible perspectives. It is no more than a bundle of thoughts.

It's fine to mourn the election. It's fine to demand truth and justice in Benghazi. It's not fine to spout hatred towards half of the United States, and I don't believe it's productive to project doom and gloom and for people to either curl up into a fetal position, or even worse, to declare a sort of active war on the sitting President.
Let's find out what happened in Libya. Let's keep fighting for economic sanity. Let's work on this deficit. Let's work on making the world a better place.

"Welfare over freedom"?, "socialist dictator"? These "dumbed-down" demonizing talking points are EXACTLY why many moderate, Latino, and women voters reject the message that Republicans try to sell according to exit polls.
Level-headed reasonable people can see our problems and support a course of action to deal with them. Sometimes they disagree. But when it drops to the level of name-calling, hyperbole, and exaggeration - then it is no longer political discussion - it is pointless babble.

Our Constitution is being ravaged. A frenzy of hedonistic, Hollywood wanabes devoid of all personal responsibility have taken the electorate. You, who admire Obama and his law-breakers http://bit.ly/M8Qioi have no argument, except to slander, threaten, ridicule, and now it seems perpetrate physical violence on those who have a differing political view and passion for our country's founding principals and Constitution.

Noelle and people like her, listen to their pundits and FOX "news" and eat up every word as truth, like it came directly from God. They don't bother to do any research to find out what is truth. Liberals want to reach across the vast gulf that separate us now and TRY to work together. Liberals are not talking about buying up guns or stocking up on ammunition. Rush, Icky Vicky and every other right-wing, teabillie sister humper pundit is advocating this. Why? So they can start a war against their fellow Americans? Is THAT their answer to loosing the election? Is THAT how adults deal with things? You know what? I'm sorry you people are not adult enough to want to meet in the middle. I'm sorry that your way of thinking is almost a thing of the past. I'm sorry that you can't see beyond the end of your nose. I'm sorry that you wouldn't recognize truth, if it bit you on the butt.

Thanks Noelle nice post. As always the Libs are vicious before the election, then afterwards we all néed to compromise. Of course Obama came out and said he now has a mandate. The only mandate he has is to stand on a corner and hand out free contraceptives. So libs enjoy your free stuff, you'll need it because there won't be any job growth.
12:52 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
@JMB -- Yes, the Conservatives were so restrained before the election and they are accepting the will of the majority with such grace and maturity now.
I recall two recent elections where the 'liberal' side lost by the same margin and we were pretty much told to suck it the next day. No real offer of compromise.
No one is handing out 'free contraceptives' that were not being handed out before.
12:40 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
@Absolutelyfabulous -- I doubt it is Ms. Lorraine deleting any posts. It is most likely the Patch editors who don't care for certain links being posted. And then, unfortunately, any replies are deleted along with the parent post.
Jim Price
2:50 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
You are correct, Randy. Blog posters including Noelle Lorraine are not allowed to delete comments they don't like.
Noelle Lorraine
12:53 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
Thanks to all of my outspoken supporters. I am grateful for each of you. To those who stand in opposition I respect your opinion too.
@annie brewer, as always, your words are eloquent and inspiring.
And I hope everyone takes the time to look at the photo on this blog of the way I found my car this am. Something that would Only happen to an Italian or GOP operative...
1:02 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
No, it happened more than once to a mixed-race couple my parents knew years ago.
To whoever did it -- shame.
Chief Toby Keef
1:08 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
How awful! This is certainly a hate crime against the Italians, perhaps the most oppressed ethnicity in America.
1:34 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
Miss Noelle thinks she's an "operative". Can you say delusions of grandeur? You really think someone torched your car because of this stupid blog? Really???? You are delusional, I would bet it was an ex boyfriend or you did it yourself. The blog is not worth damaging someone's personal property over. I do hope you notified the police.
2:20 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
There seems to be quite a bit of rust on this car as if it has been sitting for quite some time. No vestiges of a license plate. No evidence that provides a specific place for the car. And, of this hour, no news alerts of a politically-motivated attack on Noelle Lorraine. If this occurred overnight or this morning shouldn't we have heard about it by now?
Chief Toby Keef
12:55 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
Oh well, there's always a new election next year...

I accept your apologies. Now...with a Republican majority in Congress and a Democratic President, can we count on you to support bipartisanship as the voters have directed?
2:33 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
Got to love that bipartisanship. Just like Obama going against the will of the people when he forced thru Obamacare. He bought off Senators and then negated Mass. Voting in Scott Brown through his parliamentary tricks. Well, enjoy your non-recovery but you have your food stamps, Obama phones and contraceptives. Hope there is something left to save 4 years from now.
2:57 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
Got to love these liberal Alinsky tactics. Karma is a bitch, just ask Pelosi don't see her walking around with her big gavel anymore

I have suspended one commenter and warned another about posting personal information about others in the comments section that is in no way pertinent to the subject or opinions being expressed. If you don't want your comments deleted, and if you don't want to be suspended, stop doing it.
Jim Price
3:58 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
TruthTeller01 – I'm afraid I can't and don't agree with you that this is a forum for dissecting a writer's personal life because of her political views – especially when that person has put herself at the disadvantage of providing her full name, thus identifying herself to anyone wishing to background check her, while you and other commenters use aliases that prevent her or others from returning the favor.
4:07 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
Jim Price, if someone is going to write a blog about being a conservative and HER lifestyle does not reflect her preaching, then people should know she is a SHAM. Noelle and her group have been harassing people for over a year, she put herself out here, she reaps what she sows.
Jim Price
4:13 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
Nope, I reap what she sows. I have been sitting here monitoring this comment thread half the day to protect Ms. Lorraine, the same way I have promised to protect anyone who blogs for me, from personal attacks that are irrelevant to the subject and the opinions expressed and are counter to the terms of service agreed to by every Patch user.
4:21 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
But Jim, shouldn't you be protecting us from hyperbole? ; )
Jim Price
4:25 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
Bren, if I did that there wouldn't be much left to read ;)
4:32 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
I would then suggest that you vet your bloggers better in the future. Now since we are aware that Miss Noelle is full of poop, there is no need to further comment.
4:49 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
My life won't change much with Obama being elected. I voted for Romney but my life will go on. I do not have children so I do not have to worry about their future. I have discussed the election with several people, several are liberals and surprisingly, they are the one's that seem angry. Not one conservative that I have talked to has said anything angry or acted that way - only the liberals. I wonder why that is. Probably because you know you voted in a completely inept man and a liar to boot. When this Libya stuff blow's up in everyone's face I truly hope you realize the error of your ways.
4:56 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
@Sunrocket -- I truly wish I could copy/paste some of the things I've been reading on various message boards since Monday morning -- vile racist stuff and business owners closing down their operations simply because they'd have to give their employees health insurance now (even though they brag of Cadillac plans for themselves). I think it would change your perception that only the liberals are angry.
Bob McBride
5:09 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
If you're familiar with the history of weblogs, you'd note that this one is truer to the original form than most we find on Patch.
I'm not saying that's a good thing....I'm just sayin'.
5:13 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
Randy - I'd love to do the same but I'd get banned from commenting. Considering the democrats won I'd think I'd be hearing a little more kumbaya. I honestly know and interact with more liberals than I do conservative's and not one of them has expressed how happy they are he was re-elected. Considering your side presented no other alternative I guess you had not one to vote for. I think the insurance thing will come to rear it's ugly head in just a matter of time. I purchase my own insurance and have for years so I expect a larger premium in time. I'm self employed in an industry that has managed to whether the recession so I am not concerned about losing my job. I know quite a few liberals with some pretty fancy insurance plans themselves so that's not just something on the right. At least conservatives are not hypocrites, practically every liberal I know is. I wish Obama the best in the next 4 years - he is going to need it and so is our country. Maintaining the status quo doesn't help anyone - but isn't that what liberals want to do? Help everyone? Regardless if they are perfectly capable of helping themselves? That's the liberal mantra isn't it - just let people think they need the government and then they'll get the votes. I wonder why none of these people's lives ever get better after voting democrat? Tom Barretts Milwaukee is a perfect example.
5:24 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
"At least conservatives are not hypocrites, practically every liberal I know is"
Could your statement be any more subjective? It's also more than a little ironic, given the course of this thread.
" Considering your side presented no other alternative I guess you had not one to vote for."
How often do we see a serious challenger to an incumbent President?
As little as i like the status quo, II would prefer the status quo to turning around and heading back to where we were in the fall of 2008.
5:17 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
that would be - no one else to vote for and weather the recession, darn spell check.

I was a bit surprised that Noel would come out of the closet and put something like this on the Patch. The last time she placed her extreme views in a blog on the Patch, she had her head handed to her. I look at this piece as someone with deep regret at their failure to manifest their fantasies. What she is really bemoaning is the death of her mythology, myopic perceptions, and will be expected to change. Poor Noel; life's a bitch and then you die.
Bob McBride
5:37 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
If you're gonna do the 15 second analysis of what ails her, is it asking too much to at least get the spelling of her name right? Unless you were referring to someone else entirely and just misplaced this....Noel Redding....Gallagher....Coward?
5:50 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
@Lyle -- I would have said it was Noelle's behind that got handed to her last time, but you're so much more elegantly-spoken than I am.
I'd like to call BS on this entire rant of hers, but one thing I must point out:
" I am sorry that as a single mom without child support, I refuse to collect entitlements at the hand of the top 1 percent."
As if it's only the top 1 percent who pay for those 'entitlements' that help struggling single mothers. We all pay for those, and we lower bracket types pay more when the 1 percenters get their tax breaks.
I really took exception to her remark about paying for other women's 'whoring'.
Mark Sanders
5:51 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
Well, Noelle started it with "Barrack" ... haha.
Lyle Ruble
6:07 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
@The Real Randy 1949....I too took exception to her remarks and like you find the her comment about "whoring" particularly distressing. Back in the day, I knew quite a few liberal radicals who were as ingrained in their revolutionary positions as Noelle is in hers. A few of them died in a police shootout and that was probably a good thing for the overall society. One of the things I take away from her rant is how very dangerous her position has become to the general public welfare. When people take those extreme positions, either right or left, they lose perspective and start viewing everything through the lens of hatred and are apt to make inappropriate decisions followed by horrible actions. If she wasn't already on a government watch list, this rant will probably put her there. She appears unstable enough to do something drastic.
Ed Willing
6:54 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
You just inferred that Noelle dang in a shoot out like those others would be better for society. While pretending to be some bastion of civility.
You are a hypocrite. And aside from just annoying me in general, it makes me even more irritated that you're forcing me to defend the woman. Her character is questionable. But with your above comment, so is yours.
Hey Jim Price, you've got more moderating to do.....
7:01 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
@Edward Willing -- Good lord, man, you should proof your posts before you hit submit. Lyle said no such thing. And do you even know what a bastion is?
James R Hoffa
7:04 pm on Saturday, November 10, 2012
Hmm... Hoffa seems to recall that Lyle keeps 'a file' on Mr. Willing!
Anyone else remember that?
Michael McClusky

I am sorry that Lyle is not so ashamed of his own writings as to never appear on Patch again.

@ Richard I've never collected a dime of welfare in my life. And yes I smoke. Aside from my maiden name, the rest is lunacy. Of course there's a lot of cases. I used to have rental properties ergo many evictions I had to initiate. As far as AFP that's so far from the truth you're nuts.

So nice to see how the "inclusive" Democratic Party uses bully and scare tactics to try and silence those with differing opinions. The left now is begging for cooperation in Washington when they were praising their own Senators who were holed up in Illinois.

Interview with Stuart Brown
As the founder of the National Institute for Play, Dr. Stuart Brown's work is focused on the effect and importance of play in our lives. His research indicates that play is as basic a natural phenomenon as sleep, and, like sleep, many of us aren't getting enough of it. A life devoid of play faces major health risks, such as depression, a decreased immune system, and stress-related diseases. On a larger scale, a culture devoid of play may even experience higher rates of interpersonal violence and crime. By incorporating more joyful, non-repetitive activities in our lives, Dr. Brown argues, we are able to replace these health and societal risks with a greater sense of wellbeing for ourselves and our communities.
There a strong connection between the practice of play and the emotional and cognitive development of the brain. So not only will engaging in play-which could include physical activity or sports, a creative practice such as painting, or simply giggling with your child-improve your physical and emotional wellbeing, it can reinforce patterns in your brain and optimize the learning process.
Watch Dr. Brown's interview with TCOYH to learn more about how the practice of play can benefit our emotional wellbeing, relationships with others, and the world as a whole.

Brett Jackson has struckout 53 times in 125 plate appearances. Darwin Barney has struckout just 50 times in 540 plate appearances. Jackson has more strikeouts on the Cubs than all players but Alfonso Soriano, Bryan LaHair, Starlin Castro and David DeJesus. By the way, can we stop referring to Castro as a contact hitter? How many times have you heard of a hitter who is going to strikeout 100 times be referred to as a contact hitter? His contact percentage is only slightly higher than league average.

You're giving up too quickly. With someone of B-Jax's ability, it's quite possible that he may be better the second time around. Keep in mind that what we see now is not necessarily the final result. It could be, but we can't honestly be sure.
0 0
@ bubblesdachimp:
I was probably even more optimistic about Jackson than you were. I thought if he could just cut the strikeouts down he might be able to become a superstar. What's interesting is that despite the strikeouts, he's still been better than replacement level. On the other hand, there's Vitters who just flat out sucks and apparently may not even be in the Cubs plans anymore.0 0
@ Jed Jam Band:
He'll strikeout less and worst case scenario he's still better than replacement level. I'm not as optimistic about him as I was, but I started to lose some optimism before he even came to the big leagues.0 0

@ mb21:
WHich is silly.. Sporadic playing time.. First time in majors. Super young. That would be dumb to give up on Vitters…
I jsut dont see how brett can be useful without cutting down on the ks by a whole fucking lot. Also there will be years when his defense is less then par i assume by advanced metrics meaning we might have an issue with his value

8 Steve Swisher says:
I was a huge B-Jaxx fan. We're talking Mancrush. We knew he was going to strike out, and hopefully that will lessen. (Although at a certain point, the leopard has his stripes, know what I mean?*)
The thing that troubles me is his arm. I'd heard he had a cannon (and a strong arm — zing!), but the few throws I've seen him make were not exactly Jesse Barfield-esque.
*I was going to use the acronym KWIM there, but that seemed… wrong.

@ bubblesdachimp:
I don't think the Cubs ever saw him in their longterm plans. It's why they targeted a 3B prospect at the trade deadline even though they have Baez who may be moved to 3rd.Unlike Jackson, Vitters just doesn't have the patience to be successful at the big league level. Jackson's patience has still been fantastic despite all the strikeouts. He has a much, much better chance of becoming useful at the big league level. He's not far from that even though he's striking out in eveyr at-bat.

11 gaius marius says:
it's too early to write off Jackson, kids.
chances are good that he's going to fan in 25-30% of his at-bats in his career. but he's also going to walk on the order of 12-15% with a .200 ISO.
this is a kid currently tagging 30.2% linedrives. over a longer sample period, his BABIP is i think going to combine with his BB% to drive very acceptable performance.
the whole setup reminds me of Mike Cameron. and if his BABIP really does fall out around .370 — as it consistently did in the minors — he's going to be better.

@ gaius marius:
MO mentioned this a while back. If Brett Jackson's going to be the white Mike Cameron, I'll be ecstatic.
0 0
@ gaius marius:
Cameron is a good comparable. I'm not writing him off, but I'm not as high on him as I was entering the season. Then again, I was thinking he had superstar potential so my expectations have more or less just fallen in line with his actual talent.What do you think of Vitters?
0 0
@ bubblesdachimp:
Yeah, but we know they were targeting a 3B prospect close to MLB ready. If they thought highly of Vitters, it's unlikely they'd have specifically been looking to acquire a young 3B.0 0

@ gaius marius:
I figure there's just too much that Vitters has to improve. He's a below average fielder (some scouts have said he'll have to move to 1st base), he doesn't hit for enough power to make up for his horrible on-base skills and he's a below average baserunner. He's still young so he has that going for him, but he has to improve in a lot of areas.0 0

Join in the discussion as four diverse women expose the reality side of The Love Dare's 40-day challenge with kitchen-table wisdom and profound truth about relationships, love lost and found, family life, and themselves. For the married, about-to-be-married, divorced, or single, this new Reflections from the Powder Room series candidly discuss sensitive issues presented in some of today's most popular Christian books from four transparent women from different walks of life.
Product Information
Publisher's DescriptionReflections from the Powder Room is a fun but thoughtful discussion of The Love Dare as seen through the diva senses of four diverse women. This unofficial companion guide exposes the real-life side of The Love Dare's 40-day challenge with good clean fun, kitchen-table wisdom, and painfully profound truth. You will enjoy the light and lively banter about The Love Dare book, but also about:
Author BioWriters Shae Cooke, Tammy Fitzgerald, Donna Scuderi, and Angela Rickabaugh Shears hail from the East Coast to the Rockies and British Columbia, each bringing a unique and fun perspective to life and love. From a current ghost writer training for menopause, to a 2o something who is looking for her life's career, to a former 60s child turned Charismatic believer, to a happily married 50 something loving life, the reflections they share with you tare as heart felt as they are genuine. You'll enjoy sitting with them awhile in the The Powder Room of Life. Publisher Information: About the Book"What is the use of a book," thought Alice (in Wonderland), "without pictures or conversations."
What's more fun than reading a book? Discussing it with friends...or even strangers who become friends! Four of us happened upon The Powder Room, an on-line reading place where women discuss, dissect, and dish out some diverse thoughts about best-selling books. A book is not only a friend - it makes friends when people are drawn into a conversation about it. Although as different from each other as colors of lipstick, hair, and fingernail polish, we felt a divine connect through humor, personality quirks, and a common desire to gain momentum toward our God-given destiny. We decided to review books written by those who have traveled similar roads and triumphed, or who have taken different directions and found transformation in areas of spirituality, setbacks, and relationships. We try on the principles and teachings in the book for size and fit, and then share what works or doesn't. As an eclectic group of animated and transparent women, ours becomes a journey of tears and fears, laughter and joy, as we find the courage to rise above the bling to find God's pearls of wisdom and truth. As we search for answers and insight in the mall...err...halls of our dreams, many times the book being reviewed becomes our catalyst. We had fun with our online discussions and decided to share our banter, "deep" thoughts, and yada-yada-yada. For those of you who don't have time to read a good book - read it through us! Of course we rambled a bit throughout, but that's the great thing about friends, right? Reflections from The Powder Room add dimension, weight, and fun to fabulous worthwhile reads!

All Bikes Welcome
Coast to coast the generosity and caring of motorcycle clubs for children's charities is well known and in our Nation's Capital the support has been exceptional due to our partnership with Freedom Chapter #9983.
Over the past 5 years events hosted by Freedom members have raised over $20,000 for wishes. Events have included their "infamous" H.O.G. wash where every summer folks come out just to see the "ghost busters" in action. Poker Runs have always been popular as a lovely day on the road is every biker's dream. This past October a new event was introduced and due to its success will return later this year. Stay tuned for details on their October Charity Dance hosted by the Ladies of Harley.
Freedom Chapter #9983 is truly a special group of men and women not only dedicated to the promotion of safe enjoyment of bike riding but equally passionate about making a difference in their community and in the lives of the special kids we serve.
