text:
In the darkest times and the deepest pain, it is not uncommon to feel completely alone.
It seems cruel. An order of pain with a side of loneliness.
It makes one question their faith.
Why would God leave us alone?
Our faith tells us that God leaves us feeling alone so that we find him. It tells us that if the rest of the world hadn't walked away, that we wouldn't be pushed closer to our spirituality. We also know that God meets us in this darkness to force us to grow, adjust our path and become better people.
God intends for these struggles to make us students of the heart and then to pass those lessons along to others. For us to send a card that we otherwise wouldn't have, to offer a sympathetic ear, to help a person struggling through their day or make a meal. God intends us to not only grow as people in our own individual strength but to grow in love.
1. Empathy: It is simply a fact, that it is often difficult to understand another human being's pain unless one has experienced it. Empathy allows a deep feeling of connection which eases the isolation and suffering of an individual. It produces a respect for the trials and tribulations of life and the acknowledges the support that a person in pain not only needs but craves.
2. Kindness: Kindness is the ultimate grace in life. When we are alone with God in our own suffering, we have a heightened awareness and appreciation to those who show us kindness. It is emotional currency when the pain has bankrupted us. It is a human investment that multiplies long after the darkness lifts and the light shines because we remember to extend it to the next person.
3. Generosity: The suffering grows our empathy and kindness so drastically that there is a greater generosity within us. A generosity of spirit, of time, of resources and of love. The emotional growth makes us more aware of the pain of others and makes us want to give more. To not only give back to those who gave to us but to possess the inability to simply turn the other way.

I am watching The Bachelorette
I know, why????
It's like not wanting to look at a horror movie, but you can't help but peek anyway.
You know it's going to be a bad "B Movie" scene only there's something oddly compelling about it. We don't try and understand this phenomenon. We just give into it. We dig into the couch, pull up the covers and are captivated.
We know they aren't going to find true love. For Pete's Sake, there's only ONE 'Ryan and Trista.'
But we hope.
We really hope because we want another 'Ryan and Trista.'
I watch Jo Jo and I find myself screaming at the television.
"Jo Jo pick Chase! You like the other two because they are hard to get and you liked Chase because he was hard to get until now!!"
All I can think is poor Jo Jo likes the guys who seem like a challenge and she hasn't yet figured out that equals heartbreak.
I'm secretly hoping this is leading up to Jo Jo and Chase ending up together. Because who didn't love him after he stripped down and looked at the camera and said, "Sorry Grandma." Come on! He's the guy! Oops, that was Robby wasn't it?? But still, Chase is Jo Jo's guy.
I think it's time for a Divorced Bachelorette – don't you agree?
We wouldn't spend a lot of time saying we "feel a connection" and "will you accept this rose?"
We would say, "Hey, you're a good person and you look like you know how to treat another human being AND I'm attracted to you. Will you bring ME roses?"

My sister and I are up late talking. I snuggle in my bed with my chocolate lab Hazel curled at my feet.
I share my sense of discouragement in divorce. I tell her that three years in to this no one should have to experience this exaggerated experience. I tell her I am tired.
I tell her the long-term bullying is inducing confusion. As if there wasn't enough to begin with.
I tell her I am exhausted and ready to walk away. Of course, I was ready to walk away a long time ago but divorce takes two. The same two that made marriage impossible.
I am distracted by my Hazel. She's big energy, a constant reminder of love in my life.
She wags her tail while looking at me.
I can't help but smile back despite my emotional exhaustion.
Now I have to admit that my Hazel is a big hot mess. I mean this in the very best doggie way!
Hazel doesn't have one doggie bad habit she has them all. She digs, she gets into the trash, she jumps on furniture, she breaks through the fence, she steals food, and she jumps on people. She's hopped out of a car window and run through the grocery store not once, but twice.
Oddly, some shoppers do not find a dog running through the frozen food aisle very entertaining. Others, however, find it hilarious especially when it looks as though she's stopped to shop herself in the dog food and bakery aisles.
Amazingly, none of this has ever bothered me. On the contrary, I believe it is a part of Hazel's charm.
I feel lucky that she is mine.
It is an analogy for any relationship.
We are all big hot messes. Only some people see the glitter among the hot mess. They see the winning lottery ticket.
They understand that our biggest imperfections can be our greatest charm.
That a digger, a jumper, and an overall hot mess are one of the most lively additions to our lives. Because despite their faults, they don't just love us, they adore us.
Isn't that what love is?
Just loving someone for who they are? My golden retriever was pretty perfect. I used to call her the 'un-dog.' Emma didn't have a bad habit. She was just easy and loving. I miss her and adored her.
Hazel is so much more complicated, yet I love her just as much.
Emma and Hazel are different. Dog worlds apart, yet the world needed or should I say my world needed both of them.
Perfection isn't always bliss and imperfection isn't always catastrophic.
It's the acceptance of each of the people (or dogs in this case) into our lives and how they perfectly or imperfectly complete us at the…
Perfect time.

No Catholic wants to become a divorce statistic.
People marry because they believe they will defy the odds. Why else would they challenge not only Catholic but overall divorce rates?
They do this because they believe in true love. They believe in the Sacrament of Matrimony.
They believe that God is the author of marriage and that 'what therefore God has joined together, let no man put asunder.'
But people are human. Marriages struggle and some work together to overcome the odds and some work solely and therefore, become the odds.
What are the current Catholic statistics on divorce?
1. 25% of American Catholics who have ever been married have been divorced
2. That is 11 million people
3. Or 1 in 4 Catholics
4. Only 15% of this 28% indicate that they have sought an annulment
5. 1 in 10 who have divorced are now remarried
Are Catholic divorce rates still lower than the general public? Yes
There is hope for divorcing Catholics.
In addition to Pope Francis and his annulment reform, a large number of Catholics seem receptive to many nontraditional relationships.
A 2015 Pew Research Center Survey of Catholic Views on Family Life found that U.S. Catholics want the church to be welcoming to people living in a variety of nontraditional arrangements.
The study found that 6 in 10 Catholics say they believe the church should allow those who are divorced and have remarried without an annulment to receive communion.
This is welcome and encouraging news for divorcing Catholics. A faith that is incredibly strong with 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. saying they are Catholic and with 45% of Americans saying that they are connected to the Catholic religion in some way.
The evolution of this modern world and faith continue to challenge many religions.
It is inspiring to know that the Catholic faith is widening the girth to include and not exclude its faithful.

Seems like a juicy column, right? I'm guessing my high school friends are hoping it is.
The teenage years! What a ride!
I knew even back then I didn't want to grow up. Only, even I was smart enough to realize that at least in the area of relationships – I needed to!
My high school friends and I are still close. No, not in the creepy we never let go of high school and grew up kinda way. In the normal, we went out into the world, built beautiful lives and families and stayed connected.
Somehow this huge network of people stayed together long before the Facebook thing. Not just with our best friends or close friends, but with all our people.
The ones that in many ways introduced us to life when we were just old enough to meet it.
People often ask me how I stayed close to so many of my high school friends. I usually joke and say that our high school was more like a college. It was way too big and we were way too unsupervised.
Like any other teenage melting pot, there existed the typical catty, petty moments that accompany that age. However, even then, despite the different cliques, there was a universal unity amongst us. It was unusual and I often wonder if growing up in the nation's capital provided this underlying understanding and tolerance of individual differences.
A few years ago, I am chatting with friends at a reunion.
One of the guys asks me why I did and didn't date a few guys?
All I could think was REALLY?? Do we have to go back to the beginning of what led me to this ending?
You know what I mean! A lot of us go on in life to shall we say – MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES!
The high school girl in me ESSENTIALLY didn't get much wiser with age. BUT – I digress…
"I liked 'hard to get' back then," I say. "Only I had no idea that 'hard to get' was code for difficult. Back then it just seemed like code 'for fun!'"
"What does that mean????" He asks as they all roar with laughter.
I have definitely confused them with this riddle of self-reflection. Too deep for this late in the night.
"I didn't date or stay with the guys I should have," I say. "Back then I think I was a little immature or fickle." (As a side note: A few guys reading this might agree with the latter, but I'm sticking with immature)
"BUT, in short – it just means I was young and dumb!" We all laugh. "Isn't that what we are supposed to be at that age?"
What I am really telling them is two things:
Thing ONE:
It's pretty high school normal to like someone until they like us back – OR – like the people who don't like us while we are also not ready for those that do.
Thing TWO:
It's not fun or challenging or healthy to go for 'hard to get.' Sure, like I always say the world's not black and white so sometimes it works out and people mature. Only 'hard to get' can also mean that either this person just really isn't that into you OR they're too caught up in their own world to make time for you.
You have a fifty-fifty shot at them maturing in terms of relationships. As I said, a lot do. Only emotionally I was part of that fifty that did not and still gravitated towards the same relationship.
But back to the reunion…
They are still laughing. Still trying to decipher exactly what I mean. In hindsight, this might have been a better conversation for the beginning of the night. I find myself smiling. These are the guys that I admire. The ones who truly love their wives and children. The ones who stay devoted to their families.
So back in high school when we were all being introduced to the world and LOVE…
Did some of us make good choices then? Yes
Did some of us end up with our high school loves? Yes
Did some of us have the one that got away? Yes
Did some of us mature and go onto to great relationships? Yes
Did some of us continue to make the same mistakes? Yes
Nothing has changed over the years. These are the same answers to anyone who grew up and out of that teenage melting pot called high school.
Though I may not have understood love back then…
I ended up with so many that I love. A group of people whose friendships matured far beyond our adolescence.
I like to say, that it is with our old friends that we once again recognize our young selves.
The kind of love that grew up together.

My Catholic mother wanted to teach me about love.
She wanted desperately to keep her marriage together. To show me an example of beautifully, in-love parents.
When it became unabashedly clear that she could not…
My mother taught me a different lesson about love.
In some ways, an even more remarkable love.
My Mother taught me…
1. We Could Ultimately Forgive – Believe me there were many times that I saw my parents argue. A troubled marriage rarely ends without it. In those moments, it was difficult for my mother to always do the right thing. After all, she was human and struggling to keep a marriage together with someone who was a drinker. However, in the years that followed, my mother did not hold onto anger, but rather spoke gently of the man who had broken both the hearts of her and her children.
2. We Were Loved – We knew who our father was. Children of divorce are smart. They live the situation. Even if they are temporarily confused by a parent, in the long run, they understand the truth. Our mother did not teach us to live in denial. We understood our father's drinking problem. We understood that he ultimately made choices that kept him away from us. However, our mother always reinforced that it was an illness that kept him from us and that he loved us and that we should love him. The way she used to phrase it was, "he loves you as much as he's capable of loving." In an era, where many women and families would have been ashamed of this and of the fact that the marriage didn't stay together, she proudly lived her truth and taught us to as well. There was no shame. She was strong and kept us strong.
3. We Were Blessed – I do not remember a time that my mother didn't think and express that she was a woman who was incredibly blessed. I absolutely remember her worrying about financial things and being stressed or tired. However, I do not remember her ever complaining that she had been left to physically, financially and emotionally raise five children alone. My mother made it very clear that the five of us were her greatest blessings in life and that with us she had everything.
4. We Were Who We Were Meant To Be – My mother did not spend time apologizing or making us feel bad that our father had left. Instead, she reinforced that all things are a part of God's plan and that this was ultimately how God meant to shape us in life. Her faithful fortitude and lack of overwhelming self-inflicted guilt or pity freed us. In fact, in many ways it made us feel special and not sorry for ourselves. We were not the children of a father who left, but rather individuals who were called upon to live a different path and purpose in life. At the same time, she made us feel absolutely unconditionally loved.
I remember a counselor that we had once seen asking me which parent that I blamed for my parent's separation. When I told him neither. He was shocked. I explained to him the way my mother had raised us. In fact, though we knew my father was the reason their marriage ended, there wasn't any long-term anger or pain.
I say long-term, because just as my mother was human so were all of her children. There were absolutely times when we were angry, disappointed and upset with our father.
"Remarkable," he replied. "I wish your mother were alive today so that I could meet her."
"Why?" I asked.
"I have been a counselor for many years," he said. "There is always someone blamed for the dissolution of the marriage, one parent or the other."
Of course, there was one parent responsible for the end of my mom and dad's marriage. It's just that my Catholic mother replaced long-term blame with God having a very special plan for our lives.
I hope to emulate her. I know I attempt to teach the same lessons. I also know that I am still in the very human aspect of divorce.

I am proud to have grown up an Irish, Catholic. I think this is how most of us feel about our heritage and our faith.
I always knew that I wanted to marry another Catholic.
I remember the first column that I wrote several years ago The 3 Things That Ended My Marriage. I realized I had married a Catholic only in troubled times we turned out to be two very different types of Catholics.
I was raised to believe that difficulty was meant to shape us. That adversity is a rubber band yanking us back towards God.
I always say that I grew up imperfectly perfect.
I was raised by a single mother of five who worked tirelessly to be all things to each of us. We had a tremendous love together and a need for each of us to be fiercely independent and chip in.
When I met my husband I was so glad that he appeared to have grown up perfectly. No, not for the reasons which you are probably thinking. I wasn't seeking nor did I have an interest in a perfect person. It was simply because when you love someone, you are so happy to believe they have lived with few struggles and much of what they deserved.
I have been asked what might have made my marriage survive. I believe that a spiritual commitment to faith and not a ritualistic commitment to faith would be the answer to that question.
Actually, I think if I was just meeting someone today, I wouldn't just look at them as a registered Catholic. Think registered politician. What does that mean? Sure, you belong to a party, but what do you really believe? What do you really stand for?
I stand for the rubber band of adversity which yanks me back towards God.
Often, an initially unwelcome call to grow as human beings and to do so with purpose.
I made my world smaller and walked closer to my faith and family.
My husband and I were both Catholics, but we were not the same type of Catholics.
He did not find his way towards faith and family. Had he, we would still be together because according to the way that I was raised…
When you have God and family, you have everything.

I chose to believe that my dad didn't really have that large of an influence in my life. After all, he left when I was only five years old.
The good news? A really great dad improves a girl's chance of succeeding at a good relationship.
The bad news? A not so great dad decreases a girl's chance of succeeding at a good relationship.
Here's the saddest aspect of this unfortunate reality.
There are plenty of men who love their daughters and treat them like princesses. Men who want the very best for their daughters. They devote their time to them, spoil them and tell them they deserve the very best.
It doesn't matter.
It only matters if they treat their wife with that same loving devotion.
Children do not go out into the world and duplicate the love their parents made them feel. They duplicate the love they witnessed between their parents.
So a dad who cheats on his wife is setting his daughter up to attract herself to the same type of man.
A dad who is an alcoholic and turns his spouse into the enabler is setting his daughter up to attract herself to the same type of man.
Of course, there are the daughters who have a heightened awareness to their father's bad behavior. Some are able to steer clear of repeating history since they are determined to. And sadly, others either don't have the awareness or believe they can avoid duplicating it, yet they still do.
My dad was an alcoholic.
He behaved badly, blamed my mother and then abandoned the family.
I knew from an extremely young age that I did not want to and would not marry a man who abused alcohol. I was the daughter who thought she had awareness. In fact, I did avoid marrying an alcoholic. I thought I had conquered my childhood fears.
Imagine my surprise when I realized that I had married a man who…
Behaved badly, blamed me and then abandoned his family.
Each time my husband did the wrong thing he told it was my fault.
When I begged him to get counseling he walked out while I held my small children's hands and they cried. He did this three separate times. I know what you are thinking. I am the idiot who let him have the chance to leave me three times. What can I say? That is love.
Even sadder and more telling about our own individual family histories? My husband who has absolutely no history of alcohol abuse, did in fact, abuse alcohol during the years I attempted to voice my concerns and leave him. No one is more distressed than I am that I have repeated not only my history but a footprint that my father put in place that I thought I could avoid.
I simply attracted myself to a different extreme and unpredictable personality rather than an alcoholic.
I still attracted myself to a man who behaved badly, blamed me and then abandoned his family.
What should have happened?
When an individual behaves badly it is up to them to have the awareness and self-responsibility to correct their own behavior.
They should not behave badly and say that their wife made them do it. I remember my dad telling me once that he knew he drank too much, but that my mother shouldn't have yelled at him. It's the false reality of a misbehaving individual. To convince themselves that the stable parent, who does not behave badly and yells in fear is the one to blame. And then, like my dad had done several times before, he abandoned our family.
He played the role of victim. The victim who claimed he had to leave the oppressive woman who was yelling at him.
The reality? She had already given a man she loved far too many chances.
And his daughters would be thrown out into the world to try and have the skills to find men who would not behave badly, blame them and abandon them.

Divorce a cheater and society will hate them.
Divorce an addict and society will beg you to leave them.
Divorce an abuser and society will tell you that you should have left long ago.
Divorce a narcissist and society will tell you that you are crazy.
One of the additional angsts of leaving a narcissist is that they present well to the world.
Friends and strangers alike will see the overt behavior of a cheater, a liar, an abuser or an addict. There will be a public outcry. A demand that one must be treated better. There will be an obvious enabler and a more obvious individual who is behaving badly.
However, the individual who dares divorce a narcissist will meet quite a different societal response. There will be no public outcry. No demand that one must be treated better. There will be no clear vision that one spouse is actually an enabler and that the other is behaving badly.
A narcissist is two people. They are attractive, charming and successful. They are also cold, cruel and ruthless.
The inherent lack of empathy, something which is a development trait learned in childhood – results in a Jekyll to a Hyde personality.
Society will try and understand what you are saying and what you are going through. However, they will question you because their logic will tell them that if there was truly both a Jekyll and Hyde then why haven't they met them both?
Most people won't meet the flip side of a narcissist. That seems to be reserved for those closest to them and perhaps periodically, a few people who work too closely with them.
It can be in part because narcissists do not tend to form deep attachments and therefore have an improved ability to remain 'surface' charming. It can also be because a narcissist lives in their own world. As long as you do not complicate or injure their world they will remain charming.
However, if in the narcissist's eyes one dares to anger, offend, hurt them or interfere with their world – they will stop at almost nothing to punish this person.
This is just one more of the reasons that divorcing a narcissist is impossible. They aren't interested in a divorce. They are interested in control, retribution, and punishment.
Society will continue to see this seemingly light-hearted and charming person. How could this affable personality actually be inflicting bullying, emotional and financial abuse on their spouse and possibly their children?
Society will convince themselves that they are missing something. Perhaps the other spouse is exaggerating? Perhaps there is more to the relationship story? Perhaps the spouse is just more uptight than this charming person and bringing it on themselves? Perhaps there are two sides to this story?
There are not two sides. There is only an enabler and an abusive personality.
It is sadly the acceptance and confusion of an acceptable mental health disorder due to the fact that narcissists are attractive, charming and successful.
So society accepts these bullies as mainstream. There is no outcry. There is no real ability for the courts to help.
In some ways, even the people divorcing them understand this.
Why? Because they were habitually confused as well. The narcissist kept telling them who they were only they refused to believe it. That's why they stayed in the relationship for so long. They kept seeing the good in the narcissist and brushing away the bad. They kept making excuses for the bad behavior. They kept enabling.
Society needs to understand the ruthlessness of a narcissist and the lack of support systems in place to divorce them.

When we believe people love us it stands to reason that we believe they care about us.
Sadly, there are numerous ways that people who SAY they love us, SHOW us that they do not care about us.
The question begs, how is that possible? How could someone who loves us not care about us?
It is possible in what could be described as one-sided relationships.
A relationship where a person loves another person who needs to be in control, is selfish, self-absorbed, demanding, insecure, unhappy, lacks empathy and a variety of other variables.
5 Indicators that someone you love doesn't care about you:
1. You talk, beg and they still don't listen – You exhaust yourself verbally, yet your significant other either ignores you, says you never shut up, walks away from you, or implies that you don't get over things.
Wake-Up Call – You are in a relationship with a person who finds your feelings (worry, stress, happiness, sadness, etc.) irrelevant.
The Truth: If you have to beg to be heard – Recognize this person does not care about you or your feelings.
2. When arguing, only you add love – You argue and like most say horrible things that you absolutely don't mean. However, either in between that argument or later, you double back and explain how much you love this person despite the disagreement. You may even go so far as to tell this person that despite the trouble and insurmountable odds that you can't live without them and that you are sorry. They do not, even in quiet moments add love.
Wake-Up Call – You are in a relationship with a person who has an ego bigger than any love they will ever hold for you.
The Truth: If love is never added either during or after an argument then you are in a relationship with a person who cares less about you than the beauty of love.
3. They are willing to leave you – If you are in a relationship with an individual who will leave the relationship for a few days, a week, a month or more – get out while you can. A person who truly loves another in the most healthy and confident manner will not regularly choose walking away from them. In fact, if a person leaves more than once, absolutely expect them to leave a third and fourth and continual time.
Wake-Up Call – You are in a relationship with someone who is self-absorbed enough to not miss your absence or confused enough to not value you enough.
The Truth: People who genuinely love one another do not want to abandon one another in good times or in bad. They see one another as what sustains them and not what is expendable to them.
4. They ignore your phone calls & texts – If you are in a relationship with an individual who has a million excuses why they can't respond to you – SERIOUSLY, do not kid yourself. They have to respond to people they work with, their own family and friends, don't they? Oh, and unless you are a serial texter, don't believe it when they tell you that you are just too demanding.
Wake-Up Call – You are in a relationship with someone who finds you unimportant and does not have time for you.
The Truth – People who care about one another – WORRY ABOUT ONE ANOTHER. Write this down. People who really care feel worried, terrible, responsible, etc. about leaving another person hanging on the other end of a text or phone.
5. Their life is more important than yours – If you are in a relationship with someone who constantly references everything they have going on in their work or personal life as a reason for not having time for you – RUN! They are too preoccupied with themselves to care about your work or personal life or your combined relationship.
Wake-Up Call – You are in a relationship with someone who lives strictly in their own world and they will not find room for you.
The Truth – People who care – oddly care about not just themselves. They actually care about the people they love and are in a relationship with. They believe love means the beauty of experiencing more than one world.

Ramos meets Williams on Anaheim fight card
SANTA ANA The journey through the first 23 fights of his career hasn't always been smooth for Luis Ramos Jr.
However, for No. 24, Ramos might have figured out the process.
Ramos (23-0, 10 KOs) will face former U.S. Olympian Ricardo Williams (20-3, 10 KOs) in a 10-round junior-welterweight fight tonight at the Anaheim Business Expo. The card begins at 5:30 p.m.
"I've never seen him as focused for any other fight like this one," Ramos' trainer Hector Lopez said. "From Day 1, and I'm going to be honest with you, Luis tends to be headaches in camp, but I would have to say this is probably the least headaches he's given me.
"This shows his maturity. He knows he has to take this game serious, and he's taking his opponent very serious."
Ramos, 24, also agrees that maybe he wasn't as focused on his job inside the ring as he should have been.
"I feel a lot better," he said. "I feel more confident, and I'm ready to take this guy out. I did the work and it has showed in the sparring and on the mitts. I'm so relaxed, I'm not overlooking anyone, but I'm confident in myself.
"As I'm growing, I've been developing. My whole attitude has been changing. Yeah, here or there, I do think like a little kid, but in this sport, you have to be in it to win it … if not, things are going to tell a different story."
This will be the fourth fight of the year for Ramos. He opened with a 10-round unanimous decision victory over Raymundo Beltran in January. He then defeated veteran Daniel Attah in April, also by unanimous decision, but he wasn't happy with his performance.
In September, he moved up to 140 pounds and stopped Noe Bolanos for an eighth-round TKO victory.
"Ever since I turned pro, I've had ups and downs," Ramos said. "I didn't know where I wanted to be; I didn't know if I wanted to do this. This year has been a great year. The only down I had was against Attah, I kind of cruised by when I could have stopped him.
"From there on, it shows that 2012 has been good, because I have put in the work."
With a victory today, Ramos likely will move closer to a bigger opportunity. That was almost the case for this fight.
Ramos was in line to face former junior-welterweight champion Amir Khan in Khan's next fight, scheduled for next week. However, as the winds of boxing started swirling, Ramos was removed from consideration as Khan agreed to face Carlos Molina.
"That fired me up," Ramos said. "Knowing that Khan turned me down and chose to go the other way just fired me up. One day a big fight is going to show up. My name is out there and I have to be ready for anybody."

Transracial / Transethnic people
Posted in the Darmstadt Forum
United States
#1 Aug 5, 2012
Trans ethnic is a term used to describe people who may act, feel, think, or look different from the race/ethnicity that they were born with.
Mostly white people who feel that they were born the wrong race. They usually feel they were supposed to be black or Asian or Indian.
There are other types too. Transabled are able-bodied people who have a burning desire to be disabled. Otherkin are people who see themselves as partially or entirely non-human, contending that they are, in spirit if not in body, not human.
I'm sorry but I feel these people need psychologists. I totally understand transgender because sexuality should NOT be based on what society says.
But really? You feel BLACK? How does black feel? LOL. I think these are dumb ass white kids who are fascinated with the culture. Because I can guarantee if these people woke up black, they would shit on themselves.
#2 Aug 5, 2012
haha, i think i love you.
#3 Aug 5, 2012
Transable is another word for lazy. Like most of you lazy, good for nothing, welfare moochers that post on here all day long.
United States
#4 Aug 5, 2012
I think its bullshit, lol. Transgendered is one thing, but trans-ethnic, trans-racial? There is no typical traits that certain ethnicities have that others dont.
#6 Aug 5, 2012
What happened? Did the john deere break down again?? I bet if black people woke up as you, they'd kill all the white people. I can't say as I would blame them. Trans-ethnic? How long did it take you to think that one up?? Just another racists buttwipe with nothing to do but start drama.
#7 Aug 5, 2012
I've heard and seen this topic on Tumblr.com
These issues are so fascinating to me and hard for me to form an opinion on because how do you "feel" a gender or a race when you've only been one or the other? It's more like desiring a separate social identity, which is why transgenderism is controversial among feminists. If being a woman doesn't mean anything about your behavior and abilities, how can you "be one inside"? They believe there's nothing intrinsically feminine. I believe gender is more of a spectrum than we acknowledge, hence people with ambiguous organs/chromosomes etc., and I do believe there are general differences in the mindset of men of women, so I can see identifying with one over the other. But the idea of "being" something different seems implausible to me - it's more like you identify with the social role and "look" of that different race/gender etc. I'm looking at this purely practically, but I imagine if you're into spirituality it would make more sense.
For otherkin, how can you know what non-human feels like? And the people who want be disabled are the most fascinating of all to me - feeling like you should not have a limb, etc. Such a strange phenomenon - I don't know if it's neurological or psychological, but clearly you are not "meant to be disabled inside." But I do believe that's a very real impulse for them and feel bad.
#8 Aug 5, 2012
I think it's retarded and a mockery of people of color. You feel you should have been born Japanese because you like Gyaru style? You think you should have been born black because you prefer rap over rock?
Do all Japanese people dress up? No. Do all blacks only listen to rap music? No. Their opinions are only based on stereotypes that are presented in various media outlets. Teach those individuals something other than music, clothes and food and see how they feel.
#9 Aug 5, 2012
this will be called delusion/self hate while having a penis and dressing in drag is called gender identity disorder.
Strange world we live in...
#10 Aug 5, 2012
Lol. I first heard of this shit on tumblr and watched it get (rightfully) dragged. All it is, is a bunch of bored white kids looking for attention by claiming that they are an ethnic person born in the body of a white person. Not surprisingly, their reasons for claiming their "true" ethnicity are based on stereotypes (i.e. the one person who claimed they were trans-Korean because of their love of K-pop and another white male who claimed that his true identity was that of a "ghetto" black woman and he had even picked out a "ghetto" name). It's basically the same old tale of white people co-opting shit, except this time they're going for actual identities.
#11 Aug 5, 2012
#12 Aug 5, 2012
This is no different than "passing". There were White people who passed as Black back in the day as well as black people passing for white.
#13 Aug 5, 2012
I've seen plenty of black people do the same thing tho, wanting to be white.
#18 Aug 5, 2012
Wheres the crowd that claims people should identify how they want to?

I cant seem to understand.

#22 Aug 6, 2012
I learn something new everyday. This blows my mind too.
#23 Aug 6, 2012
Stop with the stereotypes. I listen to Country, Rap, Reggaeton, Latino, etc music. I may sound black, but I am white and was born in the south and for all you have never been out of Vanderburgh County, all people talk the same down south. You cannot tell the difference if u call Atlanta. I am sure there are people who feel they were born in the wrong generation, race, creed, sexual orientation, etc. I find this all hilarious as Jeff Foxworthy is one of the highest paid comedians and he talks country, which to most whites is black when they are not buying a ticket to his show. lol
#24 Aug 6, 2012
i feel black but i can't stay more than 10 min in the tanning bed or i peel. it's racist yo. bigoted ass lightbulbs and sh$t.
#25 Aug 6, 2012
I'm shaking my head at this f**kery
The Real Lipstick Maverick
"Furthermore, people state that i havent faced the same scenarios that are stereotyped amongst black women, but they are just that, stereotypes. oppression and experiences arent universal within any labeled group, for members face exceptional variance in their experiences. by stating i havent faced the same oppression as a black woman alludes to a universal shared experience, however; the experiences of someone identified as a black woman in urban toronto, rural virginia, and zimbabwe all differ tremendously. as with all people, i face oppression which may be consistent with some members of my identified group (you are under no authority to determine this), as well as some that arent shared by a large quantity of members, coherent though, with any member of any group.

AWWA's infrastructure financing report, Buried No Longer, is a call to action for utilities, consumers and policy-makers.
Recent events in Flint, Mich., have brought the issue of lead service lines and lead contamination of drinking water to the forefront. This month's Journal carries an article by the co-chair of the Michigan governor's task force and a roundtable discussion on Flint. The July issue also includes other articles on distribution—how faucet flow rates affect sampling, control of disinfection by-products in the farther reaches of a system, nitrification, and alternative system design.

National Survey of Lead Service Line Occurrence
David A. Cornwell, Richard A. Brown, and
Steve H. Via
This article summarizes findings from two AWWA-sponsored surveys of US community water systems that were conducted to gather information on lead-containing service lines (LSLs) in different regions of the United States for different sizes (population ranges) of water systems. The major objective of this research was to estimate the number of water systems with LSLs and the approximate number of LSLs nationwide and by region.

David G. Wahman, Juan P. Maestre, and

Identifying and responding to students in distress
Presenter: Kelly Neville, Student Wellness Program coordinator; Jason Geary, teaching consultant, Centre for Innovation in Teaching and Learning.
Date/time: Thursday, Mar. 31, 2-3:30 p.m.
Location: McCann Centre, ED-2030B (G.A. Hickman Bdlg.)
Student mental health and overall personal wellness continue to be priorities among university administrators and faculty across the country. Initiatives targeting student mental health often become the responsibility of student counselling centres and medical clinics at these institutions. There has been a recent push across the U.S. and Canada to embrace a more ecological approach to addressing mental health and wellness, which involves an entire campus community including students themselves, faculty, administrators and staff. In this 90-minute session, faculty and instructional staff will:
- Better understand the concepts of mental health and mental illness
- Learn to recognize some of the common signs of student mental health issues
- Increase their confidence to engage with students around mental health issues
- Ensure awareness of resources available on campus and in our community
To RSVP for this session, please emal firstname.lastname@example.com or call 864-3028.

Excellent HDR William. Well worth a like from me.
Cheers, Herb
There is something rather forlorn about this ruin. It's not very big, the bigger churches have been consumed by the sea long ago and this one looks like the locals "borrowed" most of the stone. But in the setting sun, with the light shining through the windows, it has a certain presence, maybe? Anyway, thanks for the comment Herb, you are, as ever, most welcome whenever you visit. Cheers, William
...and I love that lighting too William
I think with a little imagination one can see a face in those walls. I'm with Herb - a great and subtle HDR. Well done.
Beautiful light... like!
A rather hollow-eyed face perhaps Jethro? I'm glad I stayed out and went for a bit more of a walk rather than watching a desperate rugby game on TV. That reminds me - I just looked at the info for the photo and this certainly wasn't taken at 10:00 - must remmeber to change my camera off Guatemala time... Thanks to you too Bebac for the LIKE, Cheers, William
Beautiful lighting and atmosphere!! LIKE Regards, Pytka

THAT IS WHAT LOWEST PRICE GUARATEED PRICE AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION IS ALL ABOUT. I was in this store the other day and I found 2 items on a shelf that said $29.99. I was going to purchase it. When we got to the register it rang up $99.00. I asked for a manager. The cashier called her front end manager. When I went to show him where I got it from he had to get down on his hands and knees to see if the shelf tag description matched the item. Of course it didnt. I argued the fact that a customer is not going to get down on their hands and knees and look to see if this tag matches the description and blamed a customer for putting both the items on this shelf when 3 employees told me another employee put them there because there was no room on the shelf where they did belong. When I told him I should get it for $29.99 he said I am just the front end manager. When I went to ask for a manager he walked away from me along with the price tag that were on the shelf. The employees also told me I should be able to get it for the price of $29.99. When I called the store and asked to speak to a manager I was hung up on twice and when I called back the third time I told the lady who answered the phone that I had been hung up on two times and said she has been trying to get in touch with the manager that was on but she wasnt answering the walkie talkie. When she finally did pick up the phone I couldnt understand what her name was and after explaining to her what happened she also said it must of been a customer who did this and when I told her about what the employees said she said can I prove it wasnt a customer. She then said I am sorry and I can offer you a $5.00 gift card. Now if that isnt an insult. I told her you can clearly see that an employee did it because on the other side of the display were 2 more of the same items like but a step up for more money and those were priced right.

Recently I was shopping around for glasses. I was very surprised how much the prices went up since I checked on them the last time. We finally arrived at the Amherst Wal-Mart Vision Center. I can't say enough about the knowledgeable and friendly people working there. To make a long story short, I bought the frame that was recommended by the optician and it cost me considerable less than anywhere else. I have been wearing them (I bought two) for a while now and I am very happy with the purchase. We will be back for sure.

RSR shows Forest City trading at its nav. RSR puts NAV at $35. So you may not have the kind of discount play you imagine. This is not functioning like a closed end fund in terms of a deep discount. I prefer ownership of reits as my choice for income first, cap gains later on.

This throw is absolutely lovely!! Much nicer that pictured.
Anya on Jul 22, 2016
GREAT quality product, but the best part was the service - the shop owner was EXTREMELY accommodating to my unique request. She agreed to a custom size AND went out to search for a custom color, making the final product nothing short of perfect. She was very responsive during the making of the blanket, gave me multiple updates on the process and very detailed instructions on care and cleaning. When the blanket was done, shipping only took 2 DAYS! Overall I'm extremely happy with the whole thing.

My favorite hobby; crocheting doilies and throw blankets.
I hope my crochet work brings a blessing! Crochet work can help make a house a home. A special blessing for me and the recipient is when a blanket is bought for someone who is sick or needs some extra comfort.
I started crocheting at the start of my marriage 24 years ago. I always had a love and fascination for making things. A co-worker started crocheting at work, she was making doilies. She was very fast and was making such lovely items I wanted to learn to do it too. I got a how to book, yarn and hook and I was soon crocheting! I soon learned to make things in thread. I did a lot of different projects, but soon found I loved making doilies! I like the different designs that can be made and I like working with thread. I also like making throw blankets with yarn. Two types of projects that are favorites are doilies made with thin, fine thread that have a real delicate look and feel and wool blankets with it being a natural material that holds it's shape and drapes nicely.
Crocheting and knitting are very meditative and therapeutic with its repetitive movements. It is very relaxing.

Additional policies and FAQs
Heirloom quality thread used for doilies: Here is what an heirloom crochet website had to say: Opera Crochet Thread is an upscale thread with a luxurious feel and shine. It has more twists per inch and is more lustrous than most threads rendering it perfect for heirloom bedspreads, tablecloths, home decor, fashion apparel and accessories. 100% mercerized cotton. Machine wash and dry. 50 gram ball.
DMC Cebelia is also an heirloom quality thread that is a long-fiber, (100%) cotton crochet yarn which has been mercerized twice, a process that gives it both strength and shine. Double mercerized for a smooth and silky finish. It has a good twist.
Premium thread isn't necessary for doilies, but it has benefits. They will last many years without it being premium thread. It is nice to have the better thread if you wash the doily a lot or it sees a lot of use and friction applied to it. The premium thread will not fuzz as much over the years and won't "wear away" as easily either. Premium is stronger and more durable. Crochet work, in general, is very durable as the stitches are all joined together.
DOILY DECORATING IDEAS: frame it, attach to a throw pillow, hang over the edge of a shelf, create a valance using curtain rod clips, wrap a present in one, or use as an applique on lamp shades, curtains, shower curtains, note cards, scrap books, etc.

Phil Robertson's desire is to see all men and women repent—that is to turn from their sin and follow Christ in obedience. Indeed, that's his own story, as he freely shares. This is my desire too.
We live in a culture that openly supports and promotes sin against God. While Phil Robertson is not anyone's judge—God is, and will judge all sin. Jesus Christ came to this earth to save sinners, which includes me.
I have appreciated the Robertson family's commitment to biblical values, and that they have not backed down in a politically correct world that is tolerant of everything except biblical standards and values. I pray that we would be a nation where we can disagree civilly while holding firm convictions.
I support my friend Phil Robertson.

Camp Paradise
It's not too late to get on a Wait List!
The wait list is first-come first serve so get your request in soon. Please note that it doesn't always matter where you are on the wait list; what matters most is remaining available as long as possible. We do get late/last-minute cancellations in most sessions, especially as camp time draws near.
If you have already received a spot at Camp or if you are already on a wait list, please be patient with us as we finalize the details and continue to fill all of the spots in each camp. If you are looking for a ride to Camp or you have extra spots in your vehicle, please put up a posting on our carpool connection.
The magnetic draw of a crackling campfire, the gentle lap of a river on a sandy shore, the sounds of crickets, birds, and rustling leaves in towering trees—all these and more create a setting where life slows down, relationships grow deeper, and God's quiet whispers can be heard.
This is Camp Paradise. Located 20 miles north of Newberry, on the eastern side of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Willow Creek's rustic campground sits on the banks of the gentle Tahquamenon River and is only accessible by boat. Camp Paradise has no running water or electricity, and offers wood-burning water heaters, bucket showers, and bright, star-filled skies.
The camp began in 1976, when donors—moved by what God can do in young peoples' lives through a Christian camp experience—donated a cabin with 1,000 acres of land to WIllow Creek. Thousands of volunteers have since made the 450-mile trek from Willow to camp each spring, constructing and improving the original facility to what it is today: Chapel, twelve cabins, main dining hall, pavilion, longhouse and two high-adventure courses.
Each year, these peaceful and remote grounds house the spring construction/maintenance camps, summertime Dad/Daughter and Dad/Son camps, and a Camp Paradise men's reunion.

Federal laws exist concerning visas, applying for U.S. citizenship, and illegal immigration. However, media reports indicate government hasn't been enforcing those laws to the letter.
We have an unknown number of individuals who have overstayed their visas because of a lack of enforcement by the feds. Articles appear regularly where someone is arrested for one infraction and is found to be here illegally because they overstayed their visa.
Ever see the movie, "Field of Dreams"? It's about an Iowa corn farmer who hears voices telling him to build a baseball diamond in the middle of his corn field and the ghosts of Chicago White Sox players would come to play. In the movie, he built the field and they came.
It was a good movie, but none the less, fiction.
By government estimates, Alaskans are sitting on trillions of feet of natural gas. Yet, on a recent local news broadcast local power companies warned that increased customer costs are just around the corner. Why? Because available gas is decreasing and it will become necessary to purchase LNG from outside sources to meet the demand.
I wonder if anyone has really considered all aspects of the state building their own large diameter pipeline from the North Slope to tidewater?
A couple of years ago I requested to be on the distribution list for Representative Les Gara's newsletter. I did this because a friend forwarded one to me and I found his opinions enlightening.
I wonder how much sympathy our congressmen and congresswoman are going to get when requesting appropriations for Alaska in the future. Once Congress finds out our legislature and governor appropriated $2 million for individuals living in remote areas of the state to fly in to Anchorage to attend basketball games, I don't think it will be much. And, how can anyone associated with that decision justify it? Apparently, all the other needs of the state have been met.
Amazing, utterly amazing!
I was disheartened to read about Herb Stettler's home fire a couple of days ago. I have known Herb for several years through my association with The American Legion. A few years back Herb was submitted for and was selected as the Legionnaire of the Year for Alaska. I understand he won a similar award from the VFW. These awards were for his commitment to veterans, their well-being, and his support for local veterans' issues. There's a lot of competition for these awards and being selected is an honor.
I still speak English, the national language of this country as far as I am concerned. I am still guaranteed my rights as stated in our Constitution. I am proud of my 25 years of military service defending those rights. And, I and every American should be proud of the millions of others who have done so, many losing their lives and limbs in the never ending wars in which we seem to get involved.
As a member of The American Legion, I always like to see good PR articles about the Legion in the local newspapers. The one this morning about Santa visiting Kenai's Legion Post for the childrens' party was heartwarming, to a point.
In the article it states that that behind Santa "... clanked the glasses of the Kenai American Legion's beer drinkers and cigarette smokers."
Finally, after two decades we have set a timeline to remove all troops from Iraq. Let's see how that works out. Afghanistan? Who knows? As well, we have US planes in coalition with some other UN countries defending the liberators of Libya.

A visual treat
Perplexing style, wonderful music, and plenty of NG themed refrences.
very nice
very uh unique animation. also a little on the crazy side. dodint understand it butt. twaz brilliant. :P
Very good.
Nice to see a little of Pico's happy side, rather than the typical trigger-happy Pico we all know and love. The music was catchy, and everything seemed to have a glossy finish, so it was very pleasing to the eye.
Nice to see a lot cameo appearances by characters from popular flashes. I laughed after I saw Pico step on the faces of some of those characters.
Overall, it looked good, but the whole movie in its entirety was great. I liked it, despite how short it seemed. 5/5.
all there
it had references (of EVERYTHING!!! from Madness to Brackenwood to Dad n Me to Tankmen to Blockhead to Clock Crew) it also had great animation and (not sure if everyone knows what song it's a remix of) a good song for this kind of movie
the face close-ups were unacceptably creepy (especially Nene), so u get only 9/10 but still 5/5
One of a kind!
This is an amazing flash! I hope to see many more flashes from you in the future! I felt as if this flash made Pico seem as if he could trample the competition no matter who or what they are! Pico has always been a favorite of mine and the way you portrayed him was amazing! Keep up the great work, I hope to see more soon!

Botox for Blepharospasm the Blinking Disorder?
I have been diagnosed with blepharospasm. Local doctors say the only thing available that may or may not help is Botox injections to deaden the nerves. Is there a supplement I could try instead?
Answer (Published 3/27/2009)
Blepharospasm is abnormal, involuntary blinking due to a glitch in an area of the brain known as the basal ganglia, which is responsible for controlling tone and movement of muscles, including some facial muscles. In most cases, the blinking comes on gradually and may be attributed at first to eye irritation, exposure to bright lights, emotional tension, or fatigue. Symptoms tend to worsen when you're under stress, so consider learning stress management techniques. Wearing dark glasses can cut down on light that may bother your eyes (and shield you from stares or uncomfortable questions). You may find that the blinking stops or slows when you're concentrating. It typically stops completely when you're asleep and may not resume for a few hours after you wake up. Over time, the condition tends to worsen; and the eyelids may remain closed for hours at a time.

I know of no supplements that can help treat blepharospasm. This is one condition for which Botox is appropriate. It relaxes the muscles, stops the spasms and brings almost complete relief in up to 90 percent of patients. You should notice an improvement in one to 14 days. Symptom relief lasts for three to four months, after which you'll have to have another round of shots. Side effects, which are temporary, include drooping of the eyelids, blurred vision, and double vision and, perhaps some tearing. If the dose is kept small and the injections repeated at a minimum of three-month intervals, Botox treatment should give you long-term relief.
Few alternatives have been as well studied as Botox, and so far it has proven itself to be superior to other treatments. Although oral medications are available to treat blepharospasm, none work as reliably as Botox, and there's limited information on their effectiveness.
A surgical procedure called myectomy may be recommended to those few patients who don't respond to Botox. Surgeons remove some of the muscles and nerves in the eyelids. Myectomy works well in 75 to 85 percent of patients treated.
Botox injections may sound a bit scary, but if your condition is progressing, I suggest you to put aside your reservations and consider treatment. Chances are you'll be very glad you did.
