Tornado Safety (cont.)
At school: Follow the drill! Go to the interior hall or room in an orderly way as you are told. Crouch low, head down, and protect the back of your head with your arms. Stay away from windows and large open rooms like gyms and auditoriums.
In a car or truck: Vehicles are extremely dangerous in a tornado. If the tornado is visible, far away, and the traffic is light, you may be able to drive out of its path by moving at right angles to the tornado. Otherwise, park the car as quickly and safely as possible -- out of the traffic lanes. [It is safer to get the car out of mud later if necessary than to cause a crash.] Get out and seek shelter in a sturdy building. If in the open country, run to low ground away from any cars (which may roll over on you). Lie flat and face-down, protecting the back of your head with your arms. Avoid seeking shelter under bridges, which can create deadly traffic hazards while offering little protection against flying debris.
In the open outdoors: If possible, seek shelter in a sturdy building. If not, lie flat and face-down on low ground, protecting the back of your head with your arms. Get as far away from trees and cars as you can; they may be blown onto you in a tornado.
In a shopping mall or large store: Do not panic. Watch for others. Move as quickly as possible to an interior bathroom, storage room or other small enclosed area, away from windows.
In a church or theater: Do not panic. If possible, move quickly but orderly to an interior bathroom or hallway, away from windows. Crouch face-down and protect your head with your arms. If there is no time to do that, get under the seats or pews, protecting your head with your arms or hands.
After The Tornado...
Keep your family together and wait for emergency personnel to arrive. Carefully render aid to those who are injured. Stay away from power lines and puddles with wires in them; they may still be carrying electricity! Watch your step to avoid broken glass, nails, and other sharp objects. Stay out of any heavily damaged houses or buildings; they could collapse at any time. Do not use matches or lighters, in case of leaking natural gas pipes or fuel tanks nearby. Remain calm and alert, and listen for information and instructions from emergency crews or local officials.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
So after watching the series 2 Doctor Who finale last night, I realized I was feeling all the feelings from Final Fantasy X all over again. And then I thought about it some more, and the two are actually quite similar in a lot of ways.
-Both stories involve a woman going on a journey with a mysterious but charming man from another time and place.
-Both men vow to protect said woman at all costs.
-Both are involved in an epic battle to save the world from their ultimate enemy.
-Both women confess their love for the men only to watch the love of their lives fade away.
-Both women are left with family and friends.
-Both women are forever changed (for the better) from their experiences, and I can only assume this is the case with Rose, that both actively seek a way to be reunited with their loved one.
I never thought I would have to go through that again. Thanks a lot, Doctor Who!
I totally didn't just cry at the series 2 finale. Noooooope.

Moe hasn't been eating well and is a lot smaller than the rest of her litter. To play it safe we ran a blood panel to see what was going on.
We got in the blood results and it seems her levels are all over the place. Our vet called a specialist to review them today and They are concerned that it may be a Portosystemic Shunt (PSS).
Essentially PSS is a defect in which one or more abnormal veins allow blood from the intestines and elsewhere in systemic circulation to circumvent the liver. These veins are actually remnants of normal embryonic blood vessels that for some reason fail to regress normally after the puppy is born.
We will be scheduling her to go in and have a double blood panel done. We will need to fast her for a few hours, then have the first panel done. Then she can eat and will have the second panel done. The will compare the two results and see if her liver is processing the way it should be.

The City of Yankton is given two-million dollars from the U.S. Economic Development Administration.
The wastewater collection, transmission, and treatment systems need to be improved because of flooding and erosion that occurred in 2011.
The project is funded through the 2012 Disaster Relief Opportunity Program.
South Dakota Senator Tim Johnson said, "This is a very important project and these funds will help ensure the necessary investments in Yankton's wastewater infrastructure to more fully recover from the 2011 flooding and better withstand future natural disasters."

Pebbles to Boulders: Who is Your Customer?
When it comes to providing customer service, I always remember the following. Treat others in the same manner that I would like to be treated. As well, it is always nice to have a reality check to remind ourselves as to who the customer is.
It is obvious that our first thoughts as to whom the customer is, are the kid curlers ages 6 to 11 years. Our primary focus is on this age group. This is where most of our energy and resources are directed. Followed closely behind the youngsters, as customers, are the parents. Without the parents, the kids do not get to the rink. As program providers, we need to care for the parents needs as well.
What do the parents need to have their customer like relations satisfied? Parents need information, trust, and knowledge.
Trust is knowing that their children are going to be cared for, both on and off the ice. A police criminal record check is a good idea for most key volunteers if not all volunteers who are dealing with children. It is a different world we live in these days and one cannot be too careful when it comes to protecting our children and ourselves when dealing with kids… therefore, when working with kids, it is a good idea to be in the company of another adult. Having qualified instructors available is a great way of establishing trust with parents. Provincial and territorial associations have wonderful programs to support the training of club volunteers who are assisting with kids. With that being said, it might not be possible to train everyone with specialized courses, so on-ice and off-ice volunteers can play a great role without the training. On-ice volunteers can take direction from program leaders when setting up drills or games…. Simply a traffic controller is a big help to assist the little ones with direction on the ice. Off-ice volunteers can assist with the weekly check-in desk, social events, equipment checks and preparation, lounge set up, etc… a coordinated volunteer crew leave parents with the feeling of trust when they see their kids being cared for so well.
Knowledge for parents is simply a snap shot of what the program is going to offer and the expected results when the season is done. Let parents know how you think the season will transpire. This information can be communicated with a brief letter or communiqué at the beginning of the season.
For the kid customers, one simple rule applies…Fun, Fun, Fun!! Keep the programming fun and entertaining. Yes you want to care for skill development, so a good program will cleverly disguise the skill elements with fun activities. We have suggested the use of drill stations to break up the routine of regular curling. When teaching skills, the duration of the lectures should be kept brief for kids have short attention spans and you wish to have them focus as much as possible. Less talk allows for more activity to experiment with the skills. Do not rush skill development either; let the kids have fun and watch as their skills improve within your nurturing program.
When preparing your season, schedule in special events such as themed parties, spiels and family days. Themed parties are easiest when related to the festive times of the year, like Christmas, Halloween, St. Patrick's Day and Easter. Arrange for Santa to stop in before Christmas or have a magician come by to entertain the gang…what fun! Who doesn't like attending a bonspiel? Spiels are a great way for the Little Rockers to exercise the skill development during a day along event. Plus, they can develop their social skills, as they will meet new friends at the rink. You'll be surprised as how many parents will attend too. Family Fun Spiels are terrific fun! The kids play skip and third, while the adult's play lead and second.
When it comes to entertainment, what is an important element at all parties….Yes you're right, FOOD! Every good party has food as a focal point. Pizza and hotdogs are easy food solutions, throw in some treats like Gummies, Skittles or Smarties and watch the fun. Photos, by all means take some photos. Photos are a fine way to provide recognition for the kids and a sense of belonging to the group. Post the photos on the club web site or the bulletin board… be sure to have a photo release from the parents providing permission to do so.
Loot or goodie bags that the youngsters can take home are also a fine way to say 'fun' at curling. For low cost, little games and treats that can be placed in a bag and then shared with others, could turn out to be a way to promote the curling program.
When thinking of who the customers are with your Little Rock program, to think of the whole family unit is a good way to go…. You cannot go wrong!

In the end, it had to be Boston.
If we're going to do this we're going to do it right. No trying to skirt around the ailing Penguins or the virgin Lightning. It needs to be a head-on collision against the Bruins and then when we can't run another mile we have to take down the Eastern Conference's top seed.
We have to do that or not at all. It's the difference between being Stanley Cup Champions and WORLD FUCKING CHAMPIONS.
The Bruins have wanted this for a year. The Capitals for three. If we can beat them again I don't care who comes out of the West, they're going to get facebroke. If we can't, then we didn't deserve it. But that Flyers team I saw in the first two periods on Tuesday? That team was something no one wants a piece of, whether they have revenge on their minds or not. That was a fucking Cheez Whiz avalanche.
And about this goalie shit. Everyone STFU, lolollllz, omg.
You know how many great goalies don't win the Cup each year? About 58. You know how many elite goalies don't win the Cup each year? 8, 6, 4, whatever. The point is that incredible goalies, the best goalies, lose. How many great saves can you make in a game? Not as many as shots that will be taken.
You have free will, reader! Stop repeating what they say between periods and the recycled thoughts on the recycled paper. Who is the best goalie of all time? Tretiak? Dryden? Brodeur? Esposito? Parent? Plante? Sawchuk? Roy?
Which one of them didn't lose a big game, a big series?
They can be as great as they want. You get to them enough, they're going to get scored on. Simple as that.

For her undergraduate degree, Dr. Milbourne attended Prairie View A&M University, graduating cum laude. She pursued her medical degree at the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine. Dr. Milbourne received her residency training through United Health Services.
Patients visiting Dr. Milbourne can receive a full range of podiatric services. She provides general consultations, toenail removal, and x-ray imaging. Treatment is available for issues including walking problems, heel pain, corns, bunions, foot infections, athlete's foot, hammertoes, and abscess. When she is not treating patients, Dr. Milbourne gets involved in her community through organizations including the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Rebuilding Houston, and Crossroads of Life Church. …
Dr. Milbourne was very knowledgable and honest about her assessment of my issue. I appreciated her candor and she discussed all options available.
Very Kind, gentle, very concerned about her patient, explain what she is doing every step of the way. The entire staff provide outstanding customer service!
In general, Dr. Milbourne is one of the best doctors that has received me. She is very professional as well as her staff. I highly recommend.
She was really professional and she's awesome. I wouldn't trade her for anyone else!
Dr. Milbourne is awesome and was able to answer all my questions. The staff are also amazing.
Liked the doctor a lot. She took time explaining her diagnosis. Did not like the wait. Hope this was an anomaly.
Very awesome visit, even though my diagnosis wasn't great ;)
My experience with Dr. Milbourne was very good. I would recommend her.
Extremely nice, warm and professional.
Great visit.
She was great with my 7 year old. Her bedside manner kept him calm, she was patient, and she exhibited great expertise.
she was so personable and explained the procedure in detail. super nice !
I enjoyed my visit with Dr. Miilbourne. She and her staff were very professional and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend their services.
In her opinion we should wait for a few days to see if my jammed big toe nail starts to heal on its own instead of her removing it today. Sounded good to me as I prefer to keep my toe nail. She also took my orthotics and was going to have them re-furbished by their company instead of selling me a new pair.
Dr. Milbourne is the best! She was very informative and provided very helpful advice.
Dr.Milbourne was nice and knowledgable.
Very helpful and answer all my concerns. Took time to look at my injury very carefully. Staff was very friendly.

Casey Kasem passes away on Fathers Day

Casey Kasem Passed away on Fathers Day. The Man was a radio legend. His voice was with us every weekend and through ups and downs. Click here to listen to hear Casey reading a letter from a listener on during the 60's
Casey doing his tribute to John Lennon the weekend following his death
Casey from January 1981
Each week he would sign of the show with "Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars" because he did not believe in saying goodbye to listeners. Casey believed that even as the science of radio had changed the basics did not. It was about telling stories and sharing with the audience. He was one of the all time greats to me and is an American Radio Icon....thank you Casey
This was the final Casey Countdown Show

Fighting for Americans' Right to Dissent: A Review of 'Hell No'
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
There is a certain circular (il)logic of the hawkish variety that goes a little something like this: In order for Americans to protect our freedoms from terrorist threats to our security, we have to give up certain liberties until we reach a time of absolute safety. Well, I hate to break it to these folks, but there has never been a time in American history when citizens haven't grappled with one security threat or another, and when the populous cedes power to elected leaders, history shows it's not likely to be given back without a fight.
In Hell No: Your Right to Dissent in Twenty-First-Century America, Michael Ratner and Margaret Ratner Kunstler of the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) take the reader through a brief chronicle of American protest and the U.S. government's (legal and illegal) disruption of dissent. They examine the detrimental impact that criminalizing lawful political activity has had on social movements and provide concrete guidance for activists who engage in acts of resistance. The authors make clear the need for Americans to reclaim their First Amendment rights to peaceably assemble and speak without fear of impediment or reprisal, and they reveal the myriad ways individuals are being punished for enacting the ideals of our democratic nation.
On August 29, 2004 I made a phone call after returning to my apartment from one of the largest protest marches in United States history: the Republican National Convention in New York City. I was exhilarated to have stood in solidarity with hundreds of thousands of people in order to voice my objection to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the Bush administration's repressive policies, and I wanted to infect an apolitical friend with my joyful enthusiasm.
My excitement turned to concern when I heard Isabella's voicemail message: "Sorry I'm not able to answer my phone. I went to Union Square to buy a pair of shoes and was penned by the NYPD with several hundred people while simply walking down the sidewalk. I'm not sure if I've been arrested or not, but they're holding me and a bunch of other people at one of the piers. It's pretty foul in here and I don't know when they will let us go. I don't even know if I'm being processed or if I am in the system. Please call the NYPD and see if you can help get me out."
After three days Isabella was released without being charged when a judge threatened to fine the city of New York for each hour its Pier 57 prisoners were detained. Isabella was one of the over 1,800 people who, in May 2011, won a class action lawsuit against New York City for being unlawfully arrested and excessively detained to clear the streets of dissenters (and those who found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time, like Isabella).
According to Ratner and Kunstler, this example of indiscriminate mass arrest by corralling law-abiding protesters, journalists, legal observers, and bystanders with a large swath of police netting is far from unique. It is one of many unjust tactics being used by law enforcement officers to dissuade and prevent citizens from agitating publicly for social and political change. People who possess wealth and social power have networks and resources that give them the ability to gain an audience with lawmakers and politicians and persuade them to do their bidding, whereas ordinary citizens must rely on civil disobedience, passive resistance, and organizational solidarity to attract attention.
However, their dissent cannot be effectively expressed when government officials fail to grant assembly permits or restrict sites on which demonstrations are allowed to places with low foot traffic or poor access. When people without means are silenced by the threat of unlawful arrest or the denial of public space to protest, American democracy is eroded and our individual freedoms are curtailed. Not allowing citizens their right to dissent stands in opposition to the very spirit on which this country was founded.

LAWRENCEVILLE -- A historic landmark will soon get the park treatment, with restrooms, walkways and signage for self-guided tours.
The historic Yellow River post office building, which was built in 1840, was restored by the county several years ago. The job was controversial, placing the building's status on the National Register of Historic Places in jeopardy because of it was moved farther away from Five Forks Trickum Road to allow for a widening.
Now, though, the landmark will become a part of the county's historic inventory.
The improvements, which also include parking, landscaping, picnic tables and trash cans, will provide better access to the former Hudson-Nash farmstead, which also includes a slave quarters and a barn, a press release said.
Todd Smith Grading Inc. won a $455,132 contract for the work, which should be completed by spring of 2012.
Other historic sites operated by Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation include Freeman's Mill Gristmill in Dacula, McDaniel Farm in Duluth, and the Gwinnett Historic Courthouse, Isaac Adair House and Lawrenceville Female Seminary in Lawrenceville, and the Chesser Williams House located on the campus of the Gwinnett Environmental & Heritage Center in Buford.

SEABROOK, N.H. (AP) — An ammonium hydroxide spill of less than a gallon in a stockroom at New Hampshire's Seabrook power plant has required the plant to declare an "unusual event," the lowest of four emergency categories.
Plant spokesman Al Griffith says the spill happened about 1:45 p.m. Wednesday inside the administration building. He says there are no injuries and no danger to the public.
It's not clear how the spill happened. Cleaning materials are kept in the stockroom.
The building is in a protected area.
Plant operations have not been affected.

But these days, it is something that describes a clear image of your individuality and the standards of living. Every time a visitor comes to your house, he or she might visit your bathroom for some apparent reasons. Now, if the area is unattractive, offensive and dull, it'll definitely leave a negative impression on your guests.
There are some points that must be considered while purchasing and installing a new washroom. Firstly, if you hire a company offering bathinstallation services in Harlow, you must try to obtain references and confirm the previous work and experience of the company if possible. Installing a washroom is not an easy task. It is always recommended to take services of qualified people for bathroom developments. If the installation is not done properly, a lot of damage can take place in the bathroom. Therefore, you must select a reliable and a skilled bath installation company in Harlow to do the improvements.
If you want to make small repairs yourself, for example, installing a new toilet or a sink, ensure to take assistance from professionals. It is considered essential because to do these works in a proper way, you must possess an ample of skill-sets. You must be a knowledgeable plumber to blend all the skill sets together to generate a comprehensive bathroom fitting solution.
Bathroom installation is a very difficult thing to do, that is why, it is always recommended to hire a recognized, competent and trustworthy bath installation company in Harlow.

slick shiny cyanmagentayellow atoms
bouncing wall to wall
filling black outlines
balloons stuffed with words floating in the air
confident paper-thin heroes
smilinglaughingflying heroically
keeping watch
as we slept tucked warmly into our childhood
we were always so good
at finding those warm tight places
niches and nooks
our lair
the fortress sanctum
(beneath the bed
behind the bushes inside
our mindselves)
places to hide from the shouting
the silence
the graysick tension in the air
the un-nameable knowledge
that we did not want
Somewhere in mid-Pennsylvania after midnight,
I would stop trying to sleep and turn on the small round reading light above my head
to reread my comic book - Bizarro Superman!
Bizarro, clad in a brightly colored imitation of Superman's costume, had a child's backward logic and a syntax to match. "me am not Bizarro No. 1-Me am not alone"
In my favorite story he flew far away from earth to build a world of his own -
A square approximation of earth - that he populated with people he created – imperfect clones of Superman's friends.
You have to admire those kind of problem solving skills-that sort of creativity - fashioning his own perfectly imperfect place in a universe that didn't seem to want him in it.
Then I would turn the light off and watch city after city of street lights and shadows
Roll through my blank reflection on the window
until an over-amplified unintelligible mumble alerted us that we would be stopping soon - (was that Filadelglia, Algluna, or Blogstown?)
We would pull into a bus station or rest stop full of light and strangers
where I would eat a piece of Boston Crème pie,
and buy another comic book.
Then Bizarro and I would get back on the bus
And head off toward our new world.

wow, it seems that u are experincing some real difficulties. i was wondering just how old u are as i am attending a school for childern with problems,(I was beaten up at school and it made me nervous of my peers) i am frequently dealing with my friend's problems. i feel for you deeply and i hope that you are o.k . as for the 'no emotions' i am sort of the opposite, i either feel really happy and confident or really sad depressed and suprisingly i don't think i have bipolarity, despite most of stephen's documentary feeling rather close to home!! :-//
i must admit though that i have never attempted suicide, even though most of my poetry is depressive. best wishes for the future

Hi. Well I'm 16 (17 in 2 weeks). Glad to hear you're looking out for other people. The same night I was posting here, I went to bed and a massive bright light came through my windows and went, and I heard things downstairs, so i went out of my room, and there was the person I am obsessed with (obviously a hallucination), she went, I went back to bed, got no sleep all night. Then in the morning saw my cpn, had a very long chat. That night was the most real experience I have had, in terms of hallucinations and mood changes, very crazy night..

hi, it's great to hear that u are so close to my age and happy birthday for your 17th lol anyway i was wondering if u could answer me something, (u don't have to if u feel that it's too personal i won't mind ) but when u see the person whom u are obsessed with, dothey look so real that you could touch them or is it obviously in your mind? because i visulise people who i really like, and have conversations with them when i am alone, but i know that it is just wishful thinking and that they are not there, nor do they have feelings for me in reality (but we can all fantasise ) i would say that i am perfectly normal in having these thoughts and i wanted to know more about your hallucinations so that i could understand your 'visions' in greater detail thanx
p.s i am applying for a-levles in psychology and english next year
fingers crossed lol

A lot of new couples find out just how serious things are this time of year. When it is time to decide where you two will spend the holidays – together or apart, things get pretty clear.
Some people place a lot of meaning in meeting family members. If you are not invited to Thanksgiving dinner, should you be worried?
It depends, really! I believe that when the time is right, you will meet the family of the person you are seeing. It should not happen before you both feel ready to meet family.
I think that the important thing to remember is when and if you meet someone's family, you have to be your authentic self. Don't pretend to be someone you aren't to impress them. Family members can spot a fake person from a mile away. Well, my family members can!
What do you think is important to know when you are ready to meet the family?
Have you ever dated someone who did not introduce you to their family? I know someone who dated a young woman for years and never met her family. She was basically delaying the inevitable "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" scene with her African American boyfriend and her Korean parents.
Would you allow the person you are dating to keep you from their family?
How do you know when and if you are ready to meet the family?

Good morning, I for a few…As far as being worried if you aren't invited to dinner really depends on where you two are in your courtship. If it's something fairly new, I wouldn't place too much emphasis on no invite. If you feel you two have been very serious and have moved into a higher level, then yeah I would question it. But it all goes back to communication. When I met the beau's mother, it wasnt planned. She had a lay over here in ATL on her way to a connecting flight but it got cancelled. So I got a call from him saying to make sure everything was in order at the house since she was coming there. (She doesn't live here).
Then the beau recently met my folks on our trip to the cabins about a month ago. At first, he seemed a bit nervous/hesitant about it. I probably would too being that most SO's don't meet a whole group of their gf/bf's family at once. (It was close to 70 folks that went on the trip). But as I told him before going, my folks are laid back. I told him it wasn't going to be like on the Cosby Show, where he had to wear a sweater vest, a bow tie and sit down to a 5 course dinner, explaining his 'intentions' with me. After we got there and saw how everyone was, it was smooth sailing. So I suppose it's on me now to meet the rest of his peeps.

Would you allow the person you are dating to keep you from their family? No.
How do you know when and if you are ready to meet the family?
Technically, if you're always being yourself you can meet them at any point. From a practical standpoint, you tend to prefer meeting them once the relationship has established some consistency and progression. Because they have to impress you as much as you have to impress them, meeting them can give you more insight into your person of interest. Because if his/her family is cool, it's one less thing to worry about; however, if they appear dysfunctional, is that a potential red flag?
When it happens, you just hope it doesn't become a negative experience, i.e., some aunt or cousin barraging you with more questions than his/her parents, the lack of ingenuity in asking of that stupid "What are your intentions?" question, family members attempting to turn an introduction into an inquisition, etc.
November 16th, 2011
9:00 am
Not understanding….what's up with a rule and timeline for meeting the folks? All these rules and stuff just seems silly to me. IMO, meeting or not shouldn't indicate anything. It shouldn't indicate I'm the one if I do meet his folks and it shouldn't indicate I'm not the one if I don't or haven't met his folks.
November 16th, 2011

I can't think of one single person I've dated (for real) where I didn't meet their parents or wasn't encouraged to come along and meet the parents. If I didn't and was invited, I wasn't ready.
November 16th, 2011

We knew we were ready to meet each others parents when we left Arizona, due to nepotism regulations, for graduate school. My parents agreed to house us until school begin and my new bride's state was between Arizona and my home state and her folks wanted to meet their new son-in-law. I was all ready married to the person I needed and continue to need to impress.

Good Morning All,
Would you allow the person you are dating to keep you from their family? Huh..how am I gonna force the issue? I mean if they say they don't want me to meet their family..then I know this is not the person for me. So I will keep on keeping on. Sorry but either you are ashamed of them or ashamed of me..so I am not really interested in trying to figure out the reasons.
As for when is the right the time for the family meeting..well I guess we will know when we know..no timeline..but I would prefer not to be considered just another chick he brings to the bbq..so I would like the relationship to have some depth.
November 16th, 2011
9:23 am
good morning all.
even in my younger years I was never very anxious about the meet the parents/family/friends. I'm not pressed to meet the parents/family – I'll meet them when I meet them – but I've also never been pressed for anyone to meet mine – at least not so much in my "new life". it's also kind of moot living so far away from my family. guys from home know me, my family, our background so it's all good. guys I've met since moving away from home have only heard the stories. my family is very rough around the edges and you have to get in where you fit in with us. the weak, meek, easily intimidated need not apply as I'm most definitely not going to run interference. it does seem though that men do better being brought into our fold than women. I don't know if it's because women are more sensitive or if it's because the women in my family are a lot harsher than the men. meeting the family is most definitely a test and can even be a dealbreaker. I've stated on here before that my folks do some things. if a guy I'm dating is passing too much judgment on my family it might be time to cut him loose.

O/T – holiday office potluck season is upon us. I have NEVER ever participated in office potlucks. I don't bring anything, I don't eat anything. I'm amazed that my name is still on the sign up list.
November 16th, 2011
9:48 am
I do holiday potluck. I only eat my stuff and the meat that's provided and anything brought in unopened (i.e. chips, soda, etc). Anything cooked…no way
November 16th, 2011
9:49 am
And then too it depends on the folks setting up because if it's brought in unopened and you're one that don't wash when using the restroom, you open it I'm not eating it.

Good morning.
When I finally met my ex's family, I felt like I was welcomed. His mother's smile greeted me and she immediately complimented me how I carried myself (was a sign, but I didn't know it). As the evening progressed she stood up at the table and said "Leggs, you are the sugar to his salt." I thought that original and said thank you. Later in the wee hours of the night, he wanted to do the do, but I couldn't. I was a guest in his mother's home. He insisted, I resisted. The next morning, his mother's demeanor changed dramatically. She still had that smile, but it was apparent she no longer cared for me. I think overnight she realized I was indeed going to be a part of her son's life for the long haul. I found out two things that weekend:
(1) his family is bat isht crazy; and
(2) smiling faces carry daggers behind their backs.
November 16th, 2011
10:02 am
Yeah…..The only people doing put luck at my job are the morbidly obese. I don't need to eat that much, nor do I want to, so I opt out. Because of that, I am treated like a leper. Some of want to avoid diabetes.
November 16th, 2011
10:12 am
Sort of O/T, but seeking a little advice. Recently separated, divorce almost final after 15 years. The ex and kids in another state have invited me to spend a couple of days over Thanksgiving with all my (soon to be) former in-laws. This makes me uncomfortable for a number of reasons, the most pressing that I am still having some serious rejection issues and difficulty adjusting to life without being part of a family. My kids really want me there, the in-laws want me there (the D was completely and totally her fault – they still accept and adore me), and the ex claims to want me there. Am I setting myself up for an emotional failure by attending?
November 16th, 2011
10:13 am
Good morning!
Leggs, that is quite a story!
Ahh, the meeting of the parents/family! I am a very family-oriented person and most of the men I've dealt with have been the same, from the 1st boyfriend to my now husband. I've never had a family to not like me. In fact, there were times the family seemed to care for me more than the dude did! It kinda got to be a problem I think in a few cases, because they liked me so much I think they started pressuring dude to marry me & scared dude off. One mother, after our 1st meeting, pulled her son aside and told him I was a keeper and don't mess over me!
It's never been a big buildup to the meeting and usually it did not happen 1st during the holidays. Usually it would just be a casual meeting at his house or at a bbq. By the time the holidays rolled around, I was already welcome.
There was one guy, though, who never brought me to Sunday dinner, which was big at his house, like Soul Food. I met his mom when she was in the hospital and had met his family thru a cousin of mine. They all liked me and would ask about me often.I realized I was not special to him because he had taken other women to dinner before. Never me. I also realized I was being played big time.

Most of the time our office orders food out. We stopped having so many potlucks. We are tired of cooking. It works out great.
Our Thanksgiving luncheon is today and we are all going to Pappadeaux lunch buffet. We've done it in the past and it was quite good and a nice outing.
November 16th, 2011
10:22 am
KaiserSoze – Am I setting myself up for an emotional failure by attending?
Are you expecting anything out of it or are you going simply to spend time with the family as it sounds?
Most of the time our office orders food out
We have so much lunches catered in or outings or client luncheons, these folks are excited to have something close to "homely" and being about to chat it up about dishes and stuff.
November 16th, 2011
10:23 am
@KaiserSoze ~ I'm going to tell you what I did. When Thanksgiving rolled around, we were divorced 5 months. I did not want to spend Thanksgiving with him, but I knew it would mean the world to our daughter. I invited him. I knew he felt a little uncomfortable to be back in a home he helped me to qualify for. For the sake of our children, sometimes we have to put our emotions, our issues on the top shelf deep under that cozy quilt in the back of the closet. Have a talk with your ex, state you don't want to walk into any drama and for the sake of the kids, if any pop off you will have to leave. Put your children first and go. Be cordial to the in-laws. Sit next to your children at dinner to help ground your emotions if you should become sullen. Remember why and for who you're doing this for.
November 16th, 2011
10:23 am
many not much
November 16th, 2011
10:27 am
@KSoze ~ also, it may have been more bearable for me because it was only the 3 of us. I didn't have any in-laws to deal with at that time.
November 16th, 2011
10:28 am
kimmie – funny you should mention that old boy's mother pulled you to the side. I asked him if he remembered his mother telling him to leave me alone before he ruined my life. those were her exact words and I was standing there when she said it. at the time I didn't pay as much attention to it as I should have but reflecting on it now I'm like wow – was that woman speaking loud and clear.
November 16th, 2011
10:34 am
disco – One mother was so upset with her tired, two-timing son that she let it slip to me that he was messing around. I already figured he was, but she just confirmed it. Poor thing, she tried to cover it up by saying she thought he & the other women were going to be just friends because his daughter didn't like her & liked me better and she herself couldn't stand her and told her so. I smiled, but honey, the damage was done.
November 16th, 2011
10:36 am
disco – Mama's know. Even though they love their sons, they know when they are no good. They also know a good woman when they meet one and know their son is not going to do right by the woman. Most of the time, they are so right!!!
November 16th, 2011
10:42 am
re-reading my post looks like I left off that I recently spoke with the guy. still, guess you figured out that's what I meant. my son brought a girl home last year. I wasn't feeling her at all. I held my peace during their visit but after he got home and checked in I voiced that I didn't care for her much.
November 16th, 2011
10:47 am
"How do you know when and if you are ready to meet the family?"
I thinks it's a matter of respect. Respect for your immediate family and respect for your man or woman. For example I think it is inappropriate to bring someone to meet your Mother and/or Father if you are still married and not divorced. Why subject your man or woman to that situation. It can be embarrassing to you, your man or woman and your Mother and/or Father. What kind of example are you setting for your grown children and grandchildren if you have any. Personally, I don't care about what other family members think. To each their own.
November 16th, 2011
10:48 am
I haven't had a time frame to introduce mine or meet a lady friend family. The times I have met a friend family I felt I was welcomed and percieved a good fit. This works for me, be myself don't let anxiety affect how I am sized up. It's that easy for me.

November 16th, 2011

@disco ~ I will probably be like that, tell my child after her guest leaves and explain why I may not like him.
@BF ~ You mentioned my bday yesterday and said it was going to be a good year. Should have taken that as a sign for my cash 4 because the year of my bday dropped last night!!!!! UUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!
November 16th, 2011
10:57 am
I haven't read the posts yet, but one thing I have seen that is a big red flag…and yet I've seen the scenario often on the blog. When a male doesn't introduce you to his family after being ionvolved for awhile, or never invites you back to his place and only meets you out or at your place…MARRIED!!!! You are a side dish.
I have no hesitancy about meeting their families or inviting ladies to meet my family. When inviting them to meet my family I do try to arrange quiet one on ones with all of my children at some point first before the big party thing. It is safer for the lady.
November 16th, 2011

"How do you know when and if you are ready to meet the family?"
I remember my daughter bringing home her boyfriend from college during the holiday's. She forgot to tell him about her "old school" Daddy and did not warn him about how to dress appropiately. I opened the front door to greet her and was shocked she would bring someone to my house looking like a clown (tattoos, earrings, dreadlocks, pants on the ground showing his underwear). I looked at her and then I looked at him straight in his eyes (lol). Before I could say anything my daughter caught my attention begged me not to ruin the holiday dinner and kick this clown out of my house. I was mad at her because she knew how I felt about her dating young men who want to look like a "thug". She was raised in a house were men acted and looked like men, not clowns.

11:04 am
I still see and get along well with my former inlaws after 19 years of divorce. Before my mother inlaw passed away she pulled me to the side (this was before my ex wedding while her fiance was somewhere in the house) she said no matter who my ex marries I will always be her son in law. Teared me up for a second, I say go you were invited not going could be tough on you in the long run.

@ Robert…great post. Children seldom realize that 'their past' will become 'their present' at some point in the 'future'. Those looks and actions they choose now will affect their professional opportunities and their relationa opportunities from now on. That is why what they post on their Facebook pages can come back to haunt them.

Well from what I understand this cat has dreads….I ain't gonna say nothing on that but IF I decide, his pants better not be sagging nor looking thuggish or he'll be turned around at the door. I haven't decided yet though.
Only other good thing is that my kid will be at my sister's so if any "courting" will be happening it will be there….lol In a house full of people. We'll see though.

Robert – You are like me & how my parents were. I think that helped shape who I was attracted to. I had to have someone presentable to bring around the family. They would never let me leave the house with a dude that looked like a thug. Bring one around any of my extended family and they would talk about me like a dog too.
November 16th, 2011
11:10 am
Good morning!
@Leggs..good advice on 10:23
@Kaiser,for ur kids sake,go. Put ur marriage emotions in check.
You be the man as long as ur life is not in danger.
On topic:
This topic is kinda like the rejection topic yesterday. Be careful also of these family functions because you are being 'graded'. If u don't fit there is no bliss after the holidays.
Good luck in the relationship!

Celisea – I have tried to be open-minded, but I just can't get into the dreads or braids on a man. The Bridal Bliss couple on Essence.com – the groom has cornrows. They are neat, and he seems nice & they are all in love and all, but would not be my taste.
November 16th, 2011
11:14 am
@ Leggs, re: 10:33 I liked your post. There are times and things you sacrifice yourself for the sake of your children's welfare. I forced myself to always be involved and cordial with my ex wife and in-laws after my divorce and it worked out so well. I am invited to all weddings and brought into the family pictures, etc. Next week I am cooking a giant Thanksgiving dinner. Since I am between relationships, my ex-wife will come over, as well as my kids and their families.
Too many people (IMHO) actually cost themselves and hurt their children by not putting aside their pride and anger (just say "I choose to let what you did go, you don't owe me anymore"). Then YOU choose to involve yourself. You don't have to sleep with them, you can send them home at the end of the day, and you make your children happy and more comfortable.
November 16th, 2011
11:14 am
Kimmie – You know I like a nice fresh cut. I ain't feeling the dreads but if he can navigate through uncles, cousins, nephews unscathed and not scalped, he'll be doing well. I'm with you SOOOOOOOOO not feeling dreads. Now if it comes to it, if he becomes a "constant" visitor, I will definitely as um what's up with needing a haircut. Yep I sure will. I hope I can hold it when I first see him.
November 16th, 2011

Dang Leggs how in the world did you not think about cash 4 hanging out there. Waiting for you put down on it, that would have been nice bday and holiday money.
November 16th, 2011
11:16 am
sort of on topic – I guess. I hated when chicks used to try to cozy up to me to get at or with one of my older male cousins. I had lots of cousins and many of them were quite popular with the ladies. it was like when a girl realized we were related all of a sudden she was trying to be in the mix. I suppose it could have been worse if my brothers were older rather than younger. I'm told by girls with older brothers that this was a really big issue.

@ Kaiser Soze (great movie too, thanks) I had not read your post before my posts above, but I can honestly tell you that staying involved and letting it go were the single best thing I did during the divorce. You do it for your children and they will love you for it. I say go, it has worked well for me. You go with the attitude that it is just a social event that your children are attending, nothing more, nothing less. It has no meaning or function beyond just being a gentleman. In addition it makes you look strong…because you are.

My perspective on it these days is about when my kids bring a girl around to me us. I'm sizing them up as far as how good looking and intelligent are my grandkids going to be if THIS turns out to be the one. So far, no keepers — well, my oldest is engaged to be married next summer. We'll see.

i've always felt the guys i've dated were much too quick to take me home to meet the fam in general, but holidays were never a prob. i am very close to my own fam and that is how i choose to spend my holidays. no ifs, ands or buts. after we get married, s/o and i will alternate holidays with each other's fam and/or most likely host them at our home.
to add to the posts from other bloggers about warning signs thrown up by ex family members; i recall my ex's family constantly saying "you're the best thing that ever happened to him". years later i had that lightbulb moment 'hey! how come noone ever said he was the best thing that ever happened to me?'. duh.
kimmie, s/o has threatened to rebel against corporate america by growing dreads when he retires. i told him when he starts growing his hair out i will stop coloring mine. that put an end to the rebellion.

@Robert ~ at 15 I really startaed emphasizing to my daughter the type of dude she cannot bring home to meet me. We would drive around and I would randomly point to a dude walking that just on his appearance, she couldn't bring someone like that home to meet me. Sagging pants will not cut it in my home. Why they like doing is something I don't even want explained to me. I'd be damn if a young man is sittin on my couch with his pants at his thighs….oh hell no!
@Randyt ~ thanks, Randyt! You sound a lot like me and my ex. Leave the stress and strive at the door and be parents. It's no longer about us. I like to believe I'm rearing a well-rounded young lady and its due to the sacrifices I'm making all for the benefit of her.
@BF ~ I'm so hung up on 9431 I didn't think of the year of my birthday all the while I'm playing my bday for Cash 3. It's crap like that that makes people miss all that money…not connecting the dots.
So, now, I'm staying with 9431 because it's in the system for so long and will concentrate on the last 4 digits of my social!!! One of these games are going to pay me something (lol)…

Thats funny, LOL. I may draw some fire for saying this, but I am one of those men who frikkin HATE hair curlers…especailly those big azzed ones. If an S/O threated to start wearing those around the house I'd back away from or agree to dayum near anything.

"It has no meaning or function beyond just being a gentleman. In addition it makes you look strong…because you are."
That is the bottom line!
