College Football Week 2 Betting Odds and Early PredictionsSeptember 2, 2012
College Football Week 2 Betting Odds and Early Predictions
College football fans saw their fair share of touchdowns over the first three days of the 2012 season, especially by offensive units that were favored by 28 or more points, as those teams averaged 44.3 points per game.
The Alabama Crimson Tide and LSU Tigers got off to solid starts in hopes of reaching the BCS National Championship Game for a second consecutive year, earning decisive victories over the Michigan Wolverines and North Texas Mean Green, respectively.
Both Southeastern Conference schools will be in action next Saturday, as we take an early look at the Week 2 betting odds and make some early predictions along the way.
UCF Knights at Ohio State Buckeyes
Urban Meyer watched his team score a decisive 56-10 victory over the Miami (OH) RedHawks as 25.5-point home favorites on Saturday, as the Ohio State Buckeyes racked up 538 total yards of offense.
The Buckeyes have won 58 consecutive regular season non-conference home games against unranked opposition, while Meyer has delivered a money-making 19-2-1 against-the-spread record in that situation over the course of his career at four different schools.
UCF was similarly impressive in winning its seventh-straight season opener, posting a 56-14 win over the Akron Zips as 24.5-point road favorites on Thursday night. The Knights haven't scored that many points against a non-conference foe since the 2001 campaign.
Meyer has faced off against Knights head coach George O'Leary once over the course of their careers, earning a 42-0 as 22-point home favorites on September 9, 2006, which came during his time at Florida.
Week 2 Betting Odds: Ohio State Buckeyes -15.5
Miami (FL) Hurricanes at Kansas State Wildcats
The Miami Hurricanes displayed incredible balance offensively in their 41-32 victory over the Boston College Eagles as two-point road favorites on Saturday, throwing for 207 yards and gaining another 208 on the ground.
There's no doubt that the Hurricanes will be revenge-minded in this spot, suffering a 28-24 loss as 12.5-point home favorites in last year's meeting on September 24. Starting the season with two road games may not be a hindrance, considering the program is 10-5 when playing back-to-back games away from home since 2000.
The Kansas State Wildcats scored 35 points in a 51-9 home win over the Missouri State Bears, but they won the statistical battle by just 75 yards. Senior quarterback Collin Klein got off to a solid start to the 2012 campaign, combining for 223 yards of total offense while throwing for two scores.
Week 2 Betting Odds: Kansas State Wildcats -6.5
East Carolina Pirates at South Carolina Gamecocks
The South Carolina Gamecocks nearly tripped up against the Vanderbilt Commodores when opening a season with their highest ranking in school history, coming away with a 17-13 win as 6.5-point road favorites on Thursday night.
Heisman Trophy candidate Marcus Lattimore demonstrated that he's moved past a knee injury that ended his 2011 season prematurely, rushing for 110 yards on 23 carries while reaching pay dirt twice.
The East Carolina Pirates were able to overcome a scoreless first quarter against the Appalachian State Mountaineers, opening up their 2012 campaign with a 35-13 home victory on Saturday.
Sports bettors need to be aware that the Pirates have scored three consecutive victories in this series when playing in Columbia, but the last such trip was in 1999.
These two teams combined for 93 points in last year's meeting at Bank of America Stadium, with the Gamecocks winning by 19 as 21-point neutral-site favorites. Each side lost four fumbles, but the Pirates threw the only interception.
South Carolina will aim to win its 11th straight home-opening contest against non-conference foes.
Week 2 Betting Odds: South Carolina Gamecocks -22
Ball State Cardinals at Clemson Tigers
The Clemson Tigers have enjoyed tremendous success when passing and rushing for at least 200 yards in the same game, something they were able to accomplish in their 26-19 victory over the Auburn Tigers as two-point neutral-site favorites on Saturday.
It's almost a sure thing that the offensive unit will match that type of production against a Ball State stop unit that allowed 366 yards in a 37-26 win over the Eastern Michigan Eagles on Thursday night.
Tigers running back Andre Ellington was the star of the show inside the Georgia Dome, gaining 228 rushing yards, which secured the program a victory over a Southeastern Conference opponent for the ninth time in 11 campaigns.
Sammy Watkins will be sitting out the final game of a two-game suspension this weekend, but this Saturday's host has won eight consecutive home openers by an average of 20 points per game.
Sports bettors may want to hold off facing the Tigers after such a high-profile victory, considering the Cardinals have lost 15 consecutive road openers against BCS opponents.
Week 2 Betting Odds: Clemson Tigers -26
USC Trojans at Syracuse Orange
The USC Trojans went into the halftime break with a 35-point lead, which resulted in a 49-10 victory over the Hawaii Warriors as 44.5-point home favorites on Saturday inside the Los Angeles Coliseum.
Quarterback Matt Barkley is a leading contender for the 2012 Heisman Trophy, but national media members better start hyping up his two main receivers, as Marqise Lee and Robert Woods are dynamic football players on the perimeter of Lane Kiffin's offense.
Sports bettors need to take notice that the Warriors started just one senior in their season opener, which led to a rather easy outcome for the host.
The Syracuse Orange managed to go over the 500-yard mark offensively for the first time since the 2003 campaign, but it wasn't enough in a 42-41 setback to the Northwestern Wildcats as two-point home favorites.
Ryan Nassib will enter this matchup with more passing yards than Barkley, as he threw for a school-record 470 yards. He completed 25 of 37 passes for 230 yards and a touchdown in last year's 38-17 loss in this series as 17-point road underdogs.
I don't anticipate a straight-up victory by the home underdogs in this spot, but it's important to note that the program has won its last three games versus ranked foes.
Week 2 Betting Odds: USC Trojans -26.5
Air Force Falcons at Michigan Wolverines
The Michigan Wolverines had won 13 straight games in September—but then they met the Alabama Crimson Tide. It was a painful 60 minutes of action, resulting in a lopsided 41-14 setback as 13-point neutral-site underdogs inside Cowboys Stadium on Saturday.
Denard Robinson likely lost any opportunity of winning the 2012 Heisman Trophy, completing just 11 of 26 passes for 200 yards while gaining 27 rushing yards on 10 carries.
The Air Force Falcons did what they do best in their 49-21 season-opening win over the Idaho State Bengals, gaining 484 of their 626 yards on the ground.
I believe the Wolverines are in for a challenge in this spot, as they will need to prepare for an entirely different type of running game. The Falcons have also split their last six games versus BCS opponents, losing those contests by an average of four points per game.
Week 2 Betting Odds: Michigan Wolverines -22.5
Michigan State Spartans at Central Michigan Chippewas
Michigan State Spartans running back Le'Veon Bell gained a career-high 210 yards in Friday night's 17-13 victory over the Boise State Broncos as 8.5-point home favorites, but sports bettors shouldn't look past the defense's effort in this contest.
The stop unit became the first to hold Boise State without an offensive touchdown since 1997, which directly led to a 255-yard statistical advantage.
Central Michigan was tied going into halftime against the Southeast Missouri State Redhawks, ultimately coming away with a 38-27 home victory. The Chippewas will enter this week with a minus-three turnover differential.
I'm not a big fan of laying any points on the Spartans considering their offensive star ran the ball 44 times last week, especially with a home game against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on deck.
Week 2 Betting Odds: Michigan State Spartans -22
Florida Gators at Texas A&M Aggies
The Florida Gators earned a hard-fought 27-14 win over the Bowling Green Falcons as 28-point home favorites on Sunday, which extended the nation's second-longest season-opening win streak to 23 games.
Heading to College Station with one of the youngest rosters in the Southeastern Conference is going to be no picnic considering the Texas A&M Aggies will be hosting ESPN's College GameDay in College Station.
Sports bettors will need to be careful in playing the Aggies in their first-ever game in the nation's best conference considering their first game against Louisiana Tech was postponed due to Hurricane Isaac.
The Gators didn't win anyone over in Week 1, but they may have been looking ahead to potentially winning their eighth consecutive road opener, with each of those contests coming against conference foes.
Week 2 Betting Odds: Texas A&M Aggies -2
Western Kentucky Hilltoppers at Alabama Crimson Tide
The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers may want to think twice about traveling to Tuscaloosa after watching game film of Alabama's offensive line blowing Michigan off the ball, but they did manage to capture a 49-10 season-opening victory over Austin Peay.
Balance is still the name of the game offensively for the defending national champions, with Alabama gaining 232 yards on the ground while throwing for 199. Quarterback A.J. McCarron was great in the play-action passing game, which fed off freshman T.J. Yeldon being effective in the backfield.
A letdown is certainly possible with a road game against the Arkansas Razorbacks on deck, but the Crimson Tide's defense has dominated opponents in the opening 30 minutes, allowing seven points or less in 17 of their last 18 first halves.
This type of number may offer some value for the underdog, with Saturday's host winning its last 10 home openers by an average of 26 points, which makes it attractive.
Week 2 Betting Odds: Alabama Crimson Tide -39
Wisconsin Badgers at Oregon State Beavers
The Wisconsin Badgers didn't impress many with their 26-21 victory over the Northern Iowa Panthers on Saturday, but they will hold an advantage of actually playing a Week 1 contest over their next opponent.
Heisman Trophy candidate Montee Ball ran for 120 yards and a touchdown, while Maryland transfer Danny O'Brien completed 19 of 23 passes for 219 yards in replacing Russell Wilson under center in Madison.
Oregon State was unable to work on its offensive attack versus Nicholls State due to Hurricane Isaac, which could be a major hindrance in this matchup. In last year's 35-0 loss to the Badgers as 20-point road underdogs, the Beavers gained just 23 yards on the ground.
Non-conference games haven't been a priority in Corvallis under the direction of Mike Riley recently, as the program has dropped seven of its last eight in that situation.
The visitor is dangerous in this spot, winning all four games in Hawaii or the West Coast under seventh-year head coach Bret Bielema.
Week 2 Betting Odds: Wisconsin Badgers -9
Fresno State Bulldogs at Oregon Ducks
First off, my deepest sympathies to those that wagered on the Oregon Ducks in their season-opening victory over the Arkansas State Red Wolves on Saturday night, as they failed to cover the 37.5-point spread despite going into the break with a 40-point advantage.
Fourth-year head coach Chip Kelly's offense has a tremendous amount of firepower, with red-shirt freshman quarterback Marcus Mariota and multi-purpose star De'Anthony Thomas leading the way.
Fresno State began the Tim DeRuyter era with an expected victory over the Weber State Wildcats, as its offense racked up 515 total yards. Signal-caller Derek Carr has the ability to threaten defenses, completing 20 of 25 passes for 298 yards and two touchdowns.
I'd have a big interest in backing the road underdogs here if Pat Hill was still on the sidelines, but the Ducks are an absolute machine that have won six straight meetings in this series.
Week 2 Betting Odds: Oregon Ducks -34
Washington Huskies at LSU Tigers
The Washington Huskies better have been saving it for this week, as their performance in a 21-12 victory over the San Diego Aztecs as 15-point favorites won't get the job done in this spot. Quarterback Keith Price put together a solid performance, completing the most passes (25) in a season opener for the school since 2009.
Sports bettors will look closely at the box score and notice that the Huskies out-gained the Aztecs by just a single yard, benefiting from a plus-two turnover margin.
LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger knew that he didn't have to do much against North Texas on Saturday, but did manage to throw for 192 yards in a 41-14 triumph as 44-point home favorites inside Tiger Stadium.
The Tigers have won all 22 of their non-conference home games under head coach Les Miles—success that will likely continue against a middle-of-the-pack Pac-12 Conference squad.
Week 2 Betting Odds: LSU Tigers -24
Arkansas Razorbacks vs. Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks
The Arkansas Razorbacks are using their first two games as preparation for their Week 3 contest against the Alabama Crimson Tide, coming away with a 49-24 win over Jacksonville State on Saturday. Quarterback Tyler Wilson completed 19 of 27 passes for 367 yards and three touchdowns.
It's important to note that this contest will be played in Little Rock, not Fayetteville, but it will likely result in the Razorbacks winning its 10th game in as many tries in this series.
I suggest watching this line carefully throughout the week, as the Razorbacks failed to cover a 23-point spread against the Troy Trojans before facing the eventual national champions.
Week 2 Betting Odds: Arkansas Razorbacks -29
Nebraska Cornhuskers at UCLA Bruins
The UCLA Bruins racked up 646 total yards in their 49-24 victory over the Rice Owls as 16-point road favorites on Thursday night, but they will face a much tougher challenge in their home opener in the Rose Bowl.
Nebraska won its 27th consecutive season opener Saturday, capturing a 49-20 blowout victory over the Southern Miss Golden Eagles as 20.5-point home favorites, with quarterback Taylor Martinez throwing for a career-high 354 yards.
First-year head coach Jim Mora Jr. knows the importance of this contest in Westwood, as it can help steal some of the Southern California headlines away from the top-ranked USC Trojans.
The Cornhuskers are going to be hard to fade in this spot considering they've gone 5-2-1 against the spread as road favorites the last two-plus years.
Week 2 Betting Odds: Nebraska Cornhuskers -6
Georgia Bulldogs at Missouri Tigers
The Georgia Bulldogs came away with a 45-23 victory over the Buffalo Bulls as 38-point home favorites on Saturday, but won the statistical battle by just 138 yards. Quarterback Aaron Murray completed 15 of 26 passes for 258 yards and three touchdowns.
Sports bettors will likely choose to back the Bulldogs in this spot due to their opponent playing their first-ever Southeastern Conference affair, especially since they've won nine of their last 12 true road openers.
Missouri ranks ninth nationally with 49 victories since 2007, but will be up against it here despite capturing a 62-10 blowout win over Southeast Louisiana. Fans of the program should be happy with James Franklin's 131-yard passing performance, as he's still recovering from shoulder surgery.
More on this game as the week progresses, as it figures to be one of the more exciting ones to handicap.
Week 2 Betting Odds: Georgia Bulldogs -3.5
New Mexico Lobos at Texas Longhorns
The New Mexico Lobos may have captured their largest margin of victory since 2008 in Bob Davie's head coach debut in Albuquerque, but none of that will matter win traveling to Texas Memorial Stadium this week.
Beating Southern University by 45 points will still provide a nice boost of confidence, as the program attempts to snap a 12-game losing streak against ranked opponents. It's probably not going to happen here, with Saturday's host winning both previous meetings by a 47-point margin.
The Texas Longhorns have to be pleased with David Ash's performance in a 37-17 season-opening victory over the Wyoming Cowboys as 31-point home favorites, as he connected on 20 of 27 pass attempts.
Don't expect an upset in this affair, with the Longhorns winning all 33 non-conference home games against non-BCS opponents since joining the Big 12 Conference.
Week 2 Betting Odds: Texas Longhorns -41

Frugal Friday: Money Saving Weekly Recap and Garden Update
The above is the first Johnny Jump Ups to appear this year and they grew right through a crack in the concrete. Good life lesson there. If you have enough will, skill and faith, you can find ways through things people never thought possible.
This week has been busy, we got news and it's all across the board on good and bad.
The worst news is that I got a phone call from the Health Insurance Marketplace earlier in the week informing me that my daughter was still on Medicaid so I had to drop her off of her current insurance since she can't be on both at once. News to me that she still had Medicaid, so I ended up having to drop her off of our insurance when we got officially approved for Medicaid (we were in a "wait to be approved or not" holding pattern until someone would look at the application and after a few phone calls and jumping down people's throats we got it done as I wanted her dropped or approved pronto so I knew she had insurance one way or the other). Now being on Medicaid was okay I figured as at least more was covered on it than on our insurance. Au contraire mon fraire!
Nope, Alaska decided, in all of its infinite wisdom to use people as political pawns to get the multitudes of taxes passed and to grab our PFD...their way. They made an announcement yesterday morning that Alaska State Medicaid was "broke" and would no longer be paying providers any money until further notice due to the "financial crisis" in Alaska. So, this announcement doesn't just mean that my son's therapists aren't being paid by my son's insurance (since TEFRA runs through the state first) and are going to have a hard time making it, but this also means my children's pediatrician won't be paid by our insurance, our pediatric dentist won't be paid by our insurance, our pharmacy won't be paid...the list goes on. Our local hospitals are panicking as their NICU units are pretty much funded by Medicaid and they don't know how to keep them open. I am FURIOUS about this. I spent the entire day pretty much e-mailing and calling every state rep I could get my fingers on to tell them what I thought of them. I would have dealt with them doing co-pays for therapy or other medical services. I would have dealt with them not covering certain prescriptions. But, nope, they do this instead. Right after they force me to drop my other insurance for Medicaid for my daughter on top of everything else.
This is just plain USING people's need and desperation to get things passed that people didn't want (citizens wanted the government to cut spending across the board, or cut out wasteful spending of which we have TONS, but they stop paying this instead). I notice that the state reps are still being paid and their benefits are still rolling just fine. Primal scream therapy isn't even enough right now. Just....grrrrrrrr!!!!!
Anyway, let's work out of the dark abyss. My son's eye appointment went okay and he was REALLY good waiting, which I was impressed by. The eye doctor said he's progressed into actually being near sighted now, but still isn't so bad that we have to force glasses on him yet, so we'll wait another year and see. I am not looking forward to that fight when we get there, let me tell you.
My husband was feeling funny again earlier in the week, so I got him into see the doctor. Turns out the doctor said basically he's getting older and just needs to eat on a more regular schedule from what he could see, but he also is like 99.9% sure my husband has sleep apnea and they want to do a sleep study on him. I have no idea what our insurance will cover when it comes to all of that, but if it helps my husband sleep better (he's always slept rotten) I'm for it. Our new doctor is going to see what they can get insurance to cover, so we'll see what they find out. At least with insurance our doctor visit only cost 80.00 compared to the near 300.00 it would have cost without it, so yay for that.
And yeah...I think that brings us pretty much up to speed for the week so far. Let's get onto frugal things for this week (I need the upper *laugh*).
1. My son's OT asked if I'd like a baby rhubarb plant she had sitting outside. I said "Me want!!!" (picture waving arms and everything...yes...this is actually how it happened *laugh*). I talked to my husband as my one friend is going to give me her rhubarb plants later in the year and we're working on where to put a nice rhubarb patch. I'm so excited! I love rhubarb and am really looking forward to having a bunch of it :). And I might very well be the only Alaskan to ever say that *laugh*.
2. I canned Taco Sauce this week using materials I already had on hand.
3. While rearranging/organizing my pantry I pulled every single jar that I could find that was empty/not being used and washed them in the dishwasher. I'll wash them again really well before I can in them, but I like to be careful. I found quite a few though, which I was really thrilled with as those will definitely come in handy later.
4. We took advantage of the nice weather the last couple of days to do something fun with the kids. We ate out on our back deck last night. My husband wanted to make sure we didn't have to worry about my son running up and down the stairs (the deck is on the second floor) so he screwed one of the free pallets he had to the opening at the top of the stairs on the deck. It was the perfect "boy barrier" and allowed us all to sit and eat without worrying about a kid running loose, it can easily be taken down and it was easily made with materials we already had around the house.
5. I spent a lot of time the last week watching things on You Tube (I started "Tudor Monastery Farm and then went back and started watching "Victorian Farm" again before I finished it. Oops *laugh*).
6. I have been searching a lot online and for a change actually had decent luck with Swagbucks as I searched, so I actually made some goals the last week on them. Yay!!!
7. Other than necessary appointments, we stayed home this week. This conserved gas and stopped us from spending money we don't have.
8. I took help that was offered this week. It wasn't easy to do it, but sometimes you need to admit that you can't do it all by yourself. I'm still learning that valuable life lesson.
9. I woke up every morning this week and made a point to thank God that I had woken up that morning, that I have a roof over my head and that I had my husband and kids. It really does help to root you down when you start out the day being thankful.
10. I've been saving my coffee grounds and used them to compost the garden a bit earlier in the week.
11. I thinned my pea plants today and used the sprouts I had pulled to make myself a salad for lunch. They were really tasty!
And here's an update on the garden, while I'm on the subject!
The first bunch of lettuce is starting to really take off as well, so I was happy to see that growing as our salads this summer are dependent on that and the spinach growing as well.
I fear that this is the last year for these good old wooden planters. They have served me well and faithfully for eleven years now (and I inherited them, well used, when we moved into our last house so I have NO IDEA how old they actually are), but I noticed that not only have some carpenter ants started eating on the bottom of them, but once you move them you can see all the rotten wood come off the bottom of the planters. They are just finally dying on me, but they have done their job many times over and so I will send them off with a grateful heart when they go.
I didn't take pictures of the front bed, because the petunias are coated in cottonwood pollen right now and look like snow balls and past the chives growing well there's not a lot to report yet (the chocolate mint is still popping up here and there).
I have a couple of planters on my deck that I forgot to take pictures of. One is a hanging basket that I planted more spinach and some basil in and the other is a old tree sized planter that I planted a couple of types of potatoes in and a couple of pea plants (I'm just going to let those trellis on my deck railing). I'm hoping between the planters and the garden I can get a decent amount of potatoes and salad fixings.
So, there you are folks. My frugal adventures and gardening adventures for the week. How did you do?

The garden looks great!!!! I was thrilled to see how everything is growing so rapidly. Thanks for all the pictures. I love watching a garden grow that I don't have to weed.ReplyDelete
No frugal accomplishments for this week, but I did achieve all my goals.
1. Survive. I am still alive and that is what matters.
2. Survive without killing anyone. Done. Did not kill one single person or family member.
3. Survive the out-of-town-very fancy-expensive family wedding without getting in a fight. DONE!!!
Shock upon shock was that I actually enjoyed myself at the wedding. I felt guilty for whining so much. The only hitch was a bad wreck on the interstate. We just parked and waited for a long time. We had left an hour and a half early just in case something like this happened. It is hard to get upset when you see three ambulances pass you plus the air-vac helicopter making multiple trips overhead. You breathe a prayer for those involved and send up thanks for your own family's safety.
So sometimes you just survive and this past week was one of those times.
Frugal fails:
1. We purchased gas at the closest gas stations right off the interstate. Did not look for the cheapest.
2. Ate snacks at the expensive gas stations. Did not pack anything.
3. Bought an expensive card at Wal-mart and gave a large lump of cash to the bride and groom.
4. Ate out at restaurants and ordered all the coffee I wanted. I ignored the prices.
This week and next are the busiest weeks of the year at work. We have been putting in 15 to 18 hour days without a break. One more week to go and then it will suddenly be quiet. The following week, money saving will begin again.
You know, despite not worrying over much about what was cheapest, you got through the entire experience and had a pretty good time. That's definitely a good thing :). Glad for the update on how it went!Delete
Good luck with work. I remember working 80 hours a week. Your brain turns to slush after a while. May the next couple of weeks go quickly for you!
I have never had rubarb. What does it taste like?ReplyDelete
That is SO crummy that they've done that with medicaid. I'm furious myself, and I don't even live there. Insurance is a massive mess now, since about 3 years ago, and I really hope that more states don't have what happened that Alaska did. My husband was told at work basically the way it goes now, is expect no pay raises, but health insurance will go up a minimum of 10% each year for us because so many insurance companies are dropping out because they can't make money now. I think to myself, back when we had good, and affordable insurance, they were making money? Yet now, we pay 3 times as much, for less coverage and they are broke? It's all so messed up, and unfair, because it's the wives and children that get the short end on the insurance.
Your garden looks awesome, mine is doing fairly well, though after so many weeks of rain, I feel like it's a bit stunted, but I've only been doing this three summers now, so I may be wrong!
I'm not sure anything was frugal,this week for us. Tueday, my 3 year old tried to have work done at the dentist. Instead of doing his filling first, the sealed two teethm (which on the bright side, I guess don't have to worry about that) but then he was done. As in screaming and crying and done. The laughing gas had no effect on bim. 0. Then they said they didn't think the tooth sealing were covered anymore. When 3 weeks ago they were. What?! So he's got to go back for the one tooth, then another tooth, and two sealing and they said if he doesn't sit still longer, they want to put him under at a different place. Which I refuse to do.
Wednesday, my 8 year old gets off the bus, skinned knees, elbows, limping and with a swollen wrist. They'd ridden bikes at school, and his had malfunctioned and he had fallen. The gym teacher fixed it, and he got back on. A few minutes later, it slipped the chajn, the seat dropped and went sideways, and he lost control. We iced it all niht, the pediatrician said watch and see, and it seems just a sprain, but wait! There's more lol! Late that niht he said how itchy his head was. I helped him shampoo, and brushed it out (he's got super curly hair to his shoulders, kind of like Thor, but curlier) and was all, what are these bits in your hair?! My husband checked, and yup...our first experience with lice. I nearly died I was so grossed out. But I got over it, and I've had to brush him out, and we all got,treated. Luckily, only 3 on him, but turns out, those were out bikes and helmets, and all this month was his schools turn to use them. And they don't clean them between kids using them. Smart, huh? I sent in a no bike riding note friday, and will send in another on his next PE day.
Then! Yesterday he comes to me with a horrible rash all over his beck and chest. The on call pediatrician thinks it was heat rash, and it's better today after lots of benedryl, but I swear!! One of those weeks!
I hope we both have better weeks starting tomorrow!Replies
I shuddered in sympathy when I read the word "lice". When I was in elementary school they were terrible about putting all of the coats on top of each other, so lice spread quickly around there. We had it once and that was enough for me. Just yuck!Delete
Your poor son, though. What an awful week. He must have felt really picked on by the time the week was over.
Good luck with the dentist with your little one. My daughter was the same way just a few years ago with the sealants. She was a lot better with the fillings, so hopefully once they get the sealants done with your kiddo the rest will go smoother.
And yes, I'll pray for a better week for both of us :).
Oh and rhubarb. What does rhubarb taste like. Well, it's in stalks like celery and they can get huge (in case you don't know what they look like) and you snap the leaves off to harvest the stalks. Rhubarb has it's own flavor, but it's super tart (but to people like me who love the stuff it's just awesome tasting :). Kind of like lemons in puckering power. When you add sugar it mellows the tart out and you end up with a tart tasting flavor, but really good. And the great part of rhubarb is that it compliments fruit so well (since it's technically a veggie). I make it into BBQ sauce with other fruits for something different, it makes great pie and other desserts and I've even seen recipes to make it into ketchup and things.Delete
Some of the cool things about rhubarb is that you can actually use it for it's pectin content to make your own pectin (I was reading that online and a intrigued to say the least), it's got a super high natural calcium content and it's great if you need extra fiber in your diet.
And you can tell I love the stuff that I know too much about it *laugh*.
I just love rhubarb, it is so sad it's not growing here in Texas.Delete
I remember growing up rhubarb was growing like a weed anywhere and we always had to cut it back. I might be the only person who eats rhubarb raw.
I read somewhere that rhubarb can be grown in the south from seeds like an annual, in the early spring, so I might try to do that next year.
You're certainly not the only one who likes it raw. Both my step-mom and myself love the stuff raw too *laugh*.Delete
Your garden looks amazing so far, Erika. Mine is not too far behind. Can't wait to start harvesting some fresh veggies!ReplyDelete
So glad you received a free rhubarb plant too! By the way, I would check on your friend's rhubarb plant soon (if you haven't already). Some of the rhubarb plants at my work are ready for harvesting already. If you can catch it in time, cut the flower off before it blooms. Then you can continue to harvest from the plant all summer long.
Not much frugal adventuring this week for me. We went to an auction and spent about $38 on a nice computer chair for my daughter, a set of brand new headphones that I will use as a Christmas gift for my daughter and new sunglasses for myself. I'm calling it frugal, but in reality it was money spent unnecessarily, so not really that frugal.
Tomorrow I'm hoping to maybe bake some muffins to use in our lunches, using up some of the frozen pumpkin and/or shredded zucchini. I like to wrap the muffins individually with plastic wrap, put them in a container then freeze them. In the morning, when we make our lunches, we just grab a frozen muffin and pop it in the lunch bag. By lunch they are thawed and ready to eat! We still have frozen chocolate chip cookies as well to alternate with. Saves me from buying those expensive granola bars and packaged cookies.Replies
Huh. That's a really good idea putting them in frozen. It might help stop the muffins from being too fragile for my daughter's lunch box. I'll have to try that next school year. Thanks for the tip!Delete
I live in Oklahoma and our state is also having a budget crisis tizzy because the lower oil/gas revenues. Aggravates me so, I know there is so much waste but no department wants to cut any thing.ReplyDelete
The price of oil is creeping back up, maybe their coffers will improve soon.Replies
They will, I'm sure. The problem is while oil companies smartly plan for downturns in the market our dumb government thought that the price would remain high forever so when the market took a downturn they panicked, refused to cut spending (even with oil high only 80% of our budget was covered by our projected revenue...that's how brilliant the state is) and are now suddenly pushing through a state wide income tax, yanking the permanent fund dividend and are wanting other taxes as well. This is in a state where we already have a higher cost of living than other places. Some people consider the PFD to be "free money" up here, but it's not for people like us who depend on the PFD for supplemental income, even if just a couple thousand dollars for the entire family, to help us live here. The road Alaska is going down, I honestly don't know if we'll be living here in five years and my husband's family has been here for generations. His grandmother's family were homesteaders up here in the way early days. It's kind of sad that the state has gone down hill so badly.Delete
I lost my gardening clippers in the yard somewhere so I went to the hardware store to replace them. While there I checked out the clearance section and found annuals (marigolds, geraniums...) for 25 cents each. Yes please!! I bought 24 plants. They are very small but they will grow. I also found clippers at th dollar store so now I can return the $10 ones to the hardware store. I went to some yard sales with a friend and scored big time: a water cooler for work $5, 3 perennials (creeping Jenny, sweet woodruff) 25 cents each 5 planters 25cents each, a glider swing for our swing less swing set $5 ( those things are stinking expensive new!) books for my son and an electric pencil sharpener ( he loves coloring with colored pencils) a hose holder, some craft stuff, a sleeping bag $2, and other cool stuff I just can't remember! Plus the fun with a friend priceless!! On the home front I packed snacks and food for the guys trip to watch the Indy 500 this weekend. They will be gone 3 days. And I will be ALL ALONE!!! Which never happens. I'm quite giddy. I have several projects I want to get done before they get back so we are ready to start the summer. I plan to organize the basement, clean the third floor family room, work on the yard and clean rabbit cages. Sounds like fun but being able to do it uninterrupted is WONDERFUL and it goes so much quicker. Plus if I stay home I'm not spending any money.ReplyDeleteReplies
Wow!!! Holy cheap garden finds, Batman!!! Those are AWESOME prices you scored!!!Delete
I am avoiding yard sales, afraid I'll find good deals I can't afford right now and seeing the yard sale signs everywhere...it's so HARD to stop myself from checking them out *laugh*. I'll live vicariously through you guys when you find good deals instead this year ;).
I also wants to comment on your Medicaid issue. My son is also on Medicaid since he has autism and I am also a provider who takes Medicaid clients where I work. We are in Pa so things are a bit different. But, all states receive Federal monies to help run the state Medicaid program, between 50-75% comes from the Feds, it differs from state to state, with the state making up the difference. Since the state receives Federal money for this program it is bound by certain federal regulations and laws. It seems to me that unless your state is refusing federal money, which is just plain stupid, that legally they can't just shut off the Medicaid program. States can petition the Feds to lower Medicaid payments to participting providers and we as providers can decide to stop taking Medicaid if the reimbursement rate isn't cost effective for us. We lost all our pediatric dentists for a 50 mile radius because of cuts to pediatric dental reimbursements. In Pa we have a Pa Health Law Project that has been very helpful over the years in navigating the system for our sion and my mother-in law, who is in the Medicaid Waiver Program. I couldn't find one specifically for your state but there is a National Health Law Project http://www.healthlaw.org that I would suggest you contact if you haven't already. The contact info us in their website. It is a nonprofit group of lawyers who do advocacy work. Tell them what the situation is (you might need to leave a detailed message and in our state it takes a few days for them to get back to you with answers but they are wonderful!!) and they will research it and give you reall great options/answers. It might be that they already have filed a suit against the state or that they are aware of other insurance options.ReplyDeleteReplies
I heard back from some local representatives who said that the state can only legally hold out payments for 30 days before the federal government gets involved and can threaten to withhold funding if the state doesn't get its rear in gear. Which really backs up my belief that this is sheer propaganda on our Governor's part to get his pet taxes passed by making people think that Medicaid is gone for good unless the taxes get passed. This might happen a lot in the coming months as the budget fights progress. I know the taxes will get passed and the PFD will be gone when this is over. Politicians have been after the PFD for years, but were always stopped by the people, but this time they are playing truly dirty pool and will get their way because of it. Sucks, but that's the way of things.Delete
Yes, like you said, using people as political pawns. So sad. I will be praying that the insurance stays on track with no intruptions for you. You might just want to fill what meds you can ahead of time so you have what you need to get through the 30 wait if it happens.Delete
Your garden is looking great! I'm hoping it gives you as much pleasure as mine does. Just digging in the dirt makes me happy:)ReplyDelete
I'm sorry the insurance is not working for Alaska. Hopefully, they will get it figured out soon.Replies
You know, I started gardening as a means to an end more than anything, but the longer time goes on the more I enjoy it. Especially when something new I try actually works *laugh*.Delete
It's fun to see all that is happening in your garden! I hope things get straightened out very soon with the medical stuff - things like that really bother me as well.ReplyDelete
My daughter turned 16 on Tuesday, so let's say it wasn't frugal and leave it at that. :) As per our tradition, we went for her driving test and she got her license on her birthday. So awesome - she drove herself to school the next two days (then school ended) and I no longer have to leave work twice a day to take and pick her up! The only decent thing I did frugal wise was I started back to doing two week meal plans, so on the payday where I allocate grocery money, I buy all that I need for all our meals for two weeks, and then just buy the most perishable of things the second week. Otherwise I tend to overspend on week one, and go over budget on week two. I got hamburger meet for $2.38/pound AGAIN (marked down at Sam's), so I bought a package of that even though it wasn't in my plan. It's grilling season, so we can always do hamburgers and I bought sour cream to make my husband 7 layer dip and bought enough that I can make Pioneer Woman's bow tie pasta (uses hamburger and sour cream) with it, and have some for baked potatoes, too. But in any case, the hamburger is wrapped up in the freezer, and will definitely be eaten. I cooked a couple of pounds of dried beans and froze them in 2-3 cup portions in zip lock bags. They are IMO so much better than canned beans! I made red beans and rice with summer sausage this week (got 3 Hillshire Summer Sausages at Sam's for $7.98) and it was very good.
I hope your Memorial Day is good. My husband and I will be doing Murph tomorrow (it's a crossfit hero WOD) to remember those who have sacrificed to allow us to be free.Replies
That's so cool that your daughter got her license on her birthday! Congrats to her :).Delete
I am envying your price on marked down hamburger. When I can get it for a little over 3.00 lb, I totally jump on it, so I can imagine how giddy you are over the cheap beef!
Memorial Day plans include my husband going and getting his permanent caps put on (yup, his dentist is open on a holiday) and just working on stuff around here. We don't really have resources to do much else right now. It's awesome that you guys are doing your crossfit outing to contribute to an important holiday, though. Good for you!
Okay, I am horrified over my typo. It's hamburger meat that I got, not meet! Ack! Prices of beef are really down here, overall, but I am still surprised they marked it down that low.ReplyDelete
I hope it goes well with the dental work! He will be tired when it's done, I am sure. I've had a lot of stuff done, so I empathize.

Ivy Gives Back to the Community
As part of our commitment to social responsibility, we at Ivy Ed enjoy giving back to the local community, especially for programs that involve education. Recently, in March 2017, Ivy Ed collected used shoes for Mane Stream based in Oldwick, NJ. For each pound of eligible shoes up to 500, $1 was donated to Mane Stream, and for anything over 500 pounds, $1.50 was donated. Sounds like an ACT or SAT problem, doesn't it? For more information about this worthwhile cause, please see manestreamnj.org/take-action. The money raised will go towards shoes for the horses. This is just one of many ways Ivy Ed reaches out to the community to give back.
In addition to helping Mane Stream, we have offered scholarships to local students for ACT/SAT prep courses, run discounted courses at Boys and Girls Clubs, and given free college counseling to students through The Possibility Project in NYC. You may even see collection bins for local food banks in our offices, too. We also work with local schools, including those serving the special needs community.
Schools interested in possible test prep course scholarships should reach out to firstname.lastname@example.com to discuss the process for obtaining them.

The Hunt
Over the years I have had folks ask me: "What in the world made you this way?"
I have never been quite sure how I should take that. So in keeping with me mother's philosophy of life, if the underlying motive for the question is not quite clear I simply assume that the questioner is amazed at the quality folk standing before them and are wondering how to emulate such a thing. Now, that being said if it's apparent that the question stems from neither fascination nor appreciation I simply say, "Hey, don't blame me, my mother raised me!"
Let me expand on that at bit.
My mother, Bobbie Jean Rowell by name, was but a wisp of woman. She reached one hundred pounds only when she was expecting me and she was none to happy about that. She was a soft Southern Bell, born and raised in the South, and like all proper Southern Bells she never wore white after Labor Day and as many a Southern man has learned the hard way about Southern girls; that soft, demure exterior belied a core of spring steal and raw hide that you had best not mess with if you knew what was good for you.
She was also a bit of a traditionalist in an unconventional, nontraditional way. This oddity in her make up resulted in an Easter egg hunt that remains in my memory even though I was only four or five years old at the time. We were down on the panhandle of Florida visiting Granny and Grandpa Tharpe during the Easter break and I wanted to go fishing while my mother wanted to have an Easter egg hunt for my brother and me.
Personally, at that time in my life at least, finding a hard boiled egg, colored up or not did not even compare to watching a brightly colored cork head South with some poor unsuspecting fish on the other end of the line. Besides the fun is in the coloring, not the finding anyway.
Now for those of you in the know a determined five year old with a specific aim in mind can make your life miserable until you give in. I was told that it was Easter and that fishing was forbidden, but I knew it was the day before Easter, so that didn't wash. I was told that Granny had a lot of cooking to do, but I didn't care if it was Granny, Grandpa or cousins John, Joan and Jenny who went with me, I just wanted to go. I was told I was being childish and that made perfect sense to me; I was five after all. As it turned out nothing could dissuade me and my mother, spring steal and raw hide aside, gave in under the assault, or so it appeared. Actually she had a bit Solomon in her and told me that we could all go fishing, all the way down at Willis Landing, if I would let us stop somewhere on the way and have an Easter hunt. It took me many years and a couple of kids of my own to admit that my Mother had the whole planned and snookered me, a poor defenseless five year old.
So we piled in the old station wagon, clamped the fishing poles up on the roof and headed off for Willis Landing: worms, crickets and Easter eggs along for the ride. I kept asking Mom where we were going for the Easter egg hunt, by now my interest was peaked, and her only reply was "We'll know when we get there." About an hour later, after we had made the right turn at Wewa and were heading east towards Port St. Joe and Willis Landing my Mom whispered something in Grandpa's ear and he hit the brakes, did a three point turn and headed back the other way.
By now I was craning my neck to see out the window, excited to find out where we were going. As we turned into an old driveway I saw what had to be the perfect place for a couple of young adventurous boys to have an Easter egg hunt. We both rolled out of the car and were confronted with an old dilapidated house. The yard was littered with all sorts of wonderful things to plunder. There was an old wringer washer, and an old ice box, not an Igloo mind you, but a genuine ice box with wooden sides and all. There was an old rusted car and enough junk scattered around to keep a couple of pickers in business for a year. It was beautiful. My mother had hit a home run in my eyes.
After Grandpa had gone through the place with a big stick making enough noise to wake the dead and shoe away any critter with untoward designs on his grandchildren the eggs were hidden and Mike, my older brother, and I had the time of our lives plundering without having to worry about getting caught.
In retrospect I honestly cannot remember if we even went fishing that day. I know we did though, because my Momma might out smart a five year old, but she would never lie to one.
Now why do I tell this story?
Well, now that I am beyond being a mere parent and have entered into the grandparent stage of life I can look back at this story from so many years ago and be honest with myself. I can look back at that Easter egg hunt with the realization that my five year old mind had falsely convinced me that I was in control of the situation. All I wanted was to go fishing, but my mother had greater plans for me that Spring afternoon somewhere back in the early sixties.
Upon refelction I know now that had I gotten my way back then and not been bamboozled by my mother, I would never have found the Easter egg resting in that old Ford Fairlane fender and I would not have kept this memory with me all these years. A memory that brings with it just a hint of childhood and the faint aroma of my Mom; an enchanting mixture of Dove soap, Chanel #5 and sweetness.
Expanding upon that thought, I can look back at unnumbered other times when I had convinced myself that I was in charge of my destiny, that my decisions and my wants were paramount only to realize later that a greater intellect with a greater purpose for me was gently prodding me forward toward heights that I could have never imagined.
I remain convinced to this day that our Lord and Savior has a plan, a wonderfully meaningful plan for each and everyone one of His followers. I am convinced that He has beautiful plans for His Church. It is my prayer that we as followers of Christ can learn to release the grasp we so resolutely, and might I say childishly, hold upon our destinies long enough to realize how foolish we are to think we are in control.
I am also convinced that that realization and the resulting freedom it will bring, as we give control over to Christ, promises to open up the storehouse of Heaven so that the blessings of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ can rain down upon His people and take us to heights that we can only imagine!
Love, Pastor Tony

Money is required for everything. If we do not have money we are unable to buy even a single needle. So we should work on this issue and easiest way to gain is by education as it secures a job for you.

I am a hunter and it is not for you that's good but you don't comprehend anything about it but for you to contact it killing is just stupid and and if i have said it once i have said it a number of periods we as many individuals have to handle there numbers.
Each and every game which play under the game rules and regulation is a good sportsman. Therefore, Hunting is also a game if we play well under the laws, rules. Its a game If we denied from rules it would be crime. A good sportsman is that who follow the rules.

To serve as a "governing & moral" example for the "civilized" life.
Think about...they (wildlife) never have need for doctors, city halls, lawyers (big plus), police dept., tax collectors, fractional reserve banking (this alone puts them far ahead of the "civilized"), psychiatrist, funeral service (no dead bodies littering the place), etc.
Wildlife never need us CIVILIZED HUMANS to provide instructions for family planing, dietary needs, drug or alcohol related issues, no worry about vaccines, wars, mandatory insurance, mental health issues, etc. The ones with wings never need "civilized" flight training instructions (watch them choose a branch or twig as they fly through, by, past, under, and over others and land like it's easy as breathing). Yes, there are some stealing & killing but, for the most part, wildlife seem more "civilized" than we claim to be.
Just, think about it...

In decorating for the 4th of July I extended the decorating to include this covered porch off my kitchen. It has a very charming detailed railing, a brick floor and two brick walls with a window to the kitchen and 2 sets of french doors. The view from there is very lovely.
We begin with furniture.
After spray painting my wicker furniture black and adding their red cushions, they were ready for the porch.The wrought iron table and french folding chairs were added so breakfast could be taken there in the mornings and enjoy the view with the birds singing so close by.
Last summer I found these denim-type buntings for 75% off which I quickly snatched up. Only now did I realize they go perfectly with my chair cushions--what luck! They were attached to the center of each railing between the posts.
I was just about to give away this heavy metal chest (trunk?) in my garage when I decided to spray paint (don't we love that stuff?) it black too.Now it holds some lovely geraniums and gives a nod to greenery there. I dug out these unfired clay stars from the Christmas box to use with a candle in the center of the table.
I was inspired by some $2.00 used hotel tablecloths I came across. I cut them off the length of the posts and hemmed them for drapery panels. I think it gives the porch a genteel southern feel. The hardest part was figuring out how to attach the two end panels to the brick. In the end, thanks to a kind friend, we used short drapery rods and drapery hooks attached to the soffit above the railing.
Luminaries add to the festivities.
Last but not least, I found this charming blackboard at a consignment store and hung it on a hook that was just waiting for something to hold. It is made from on old kitchen cupboard door. This is the back side of it.
Now the porch is ready to celebrate the 4th too.

not that surprised, and I thought it was to be expected after the IBM escape.
Oracle is in a self-fulfilling prophecy to consolidate the enterprise
software market and, after IBM turned down what could have been a great match
for open source and Java, Oracle had to jump in. Larry Ellison and Safra Catz

Last month Microsoft launched Windows 10 Mobile and the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL smartphones, two handsets that ship with the new platform. Older Lumia device still locked on Windows Phone 8.1 are having to wait for their update, but it seems Microsoft is now moving the gears and that the roll out will begin shortly.
The company has updated is Windows Support website to show details about Windows 10 Mobile for consumers, and how they can update their current handsets to the build. Redmond is not saying when the update will begin, and we are guessing it will be staged, coming to some smartphones before it does to others.
Speaking of smartphones, Microsoft has already confirmed that the following handsets will be getting Windows 10 Mobile: Lumia 430, Lumia 435, Lumia 532, Lumia 535, Lumia 540, Lumia 635 (versions with 1 GB of RAM), Lumia 640, Lumia 640 XL, Lumia 735, Lumia 830, and Lumia 930.

Subject: Fair or Fowl, BYOboyFair or Fowl
by Thole *County Fair*
*byoboy!*That's what it said on the front of the kid's sweatshirt. Except that
I could not be sure if the kid in that shirt was in fact a boy. One
of those androgynous faces, elfin-like, boyish, (Oh how I wanted it to
be a boy) long blond hair, flashing blue eyes, a small gold ring in
the lobe of his left ear, yellow short shorts that no wimpy american
boy would be caught nude lolita art models by his peers in. The kids hair hung in a single
braid in the back, but larger than the rat-tail some kids wear, and
the sides and front were cut as one might call a bowl-cut. The shorts
were full cut, the leg hem no more than a couple of fingers down from
his crotch. He was looking on as another (and I say "another" only hopefully at
this point since neither the gender, nor the sex, of the byoboy has
been established) ...another boy, obviously a 4H lad, is trimming the
wool on a fine blue ribbon lamb. As I drove my rake past the two
youths, at six of the clock in the dark cold harvest moon morning,
blue eyes flashed a look of recognition; but I kept on going. Moments
later this beautiful apparition was running around to cut me off. --Hey mister, wait! I was bundled in two wool jumpers, lycra tights, wool socks and
leather boots, my one-piece olive drab jumpsuit, tuque and gloves,
and this kid is prancing about in shorts and sweatshirt. Well, it (he
maybe?) had wool socks on that were almost knee length and the
sweatshirt was long-sleeved, but I was immensly jealous. There was a
time when I would dress like that, and I suppose I would dress like
that now but for the nature of the work here. There is too much
standing around to be half naked in this cold. --Wait! Are you... and he proceeded to rattle off several identifying
characteristics that pointed at me and marked him as well read. I nodded, and he went on: --I saw an article at school you wrote in a magazine when we were
studying origami. Your van is cool! Is it here? Can I see it? I still was not sure if this was a boy or a girl and the voice coming
from the bright red lips had a strange accent; english was not their
first language. But yes I am that same person and the van is parked
by the north service gate, in the area reserved for livestock
vehicles. I'll be there about noon and then again after eight this
evening if you would like to drop by for a tour. --Ok! Thanks! The boy shearing the lamb was hollering something unintelligible, the
lamb was bleating; the kid's blue eyes flashed a smile: --gotta go...Noon came and went and so did I. Dinner came and went but I was not
around, electing to eat this evening at all index of loli the "mess hall" and mess it
was. But the food is not costing me anything and the trashman does
the dishes.At eight I went to take a shower at the maintanance shop and left a
note on the door of the old van to the blond braid byoboy that I'd be
right back. My lolita bikini model gallery
parking place is between the maintanance line and
where the 4H kids' families are parked. Good location. I was just
back and had turned on the sunlamps and started some water for tea
when there was a clatter at the door and I ducked into my long shirt
as I ran forward to see what young voice was calling --hallo! are you here? It was my boy! And boy for sure. There was no mistaking the appendage
dripping between his naked legs. He was dripping all bbs lolitas preteen underage over for that
matter; the rest of him was naked as well, sandra lolita preteen model
and for once he looked
cold. I had the blanket drawn closing off the main cabin from the
front of the van. Outside the temperature was down to 35f and it was
not much more than 45f in the entryway. Come in quickly, I told him,
where its warm, and I'll get you a towel. I drew down my damp towel
from the line and tossed it to him as I went aft for a dry one. When
I returned a moment later I asked him if I could get him a shirt or
was it ok with him if I took mine off. --Fine with me. I seen the clothing option decal on your door and I
know from the letters my teacher showed me that you're a naturist. I took my shirt off and invited him to tea. His name is Gustaf, from
Sweden, staying in Cambridge as an exchange student, thirteen but
didn't look a day over ten, not a hair on him in any important place.
He told me all this and more over tea and biscuits which we lolita preteen bbs nude
had under
the lights. --The first time I was nude, besides in the tub, he said, that I can
remember, was at my uncles farm. My two cousins then were six and
seven, and I was five. One day Fritz, he's the older one, was in with
the new lambs. He didn't have anything on and told me to take off my
clothes and climb over the rail to be with him. Well, I did. And he
showed me all sorts of neat things. One thing he did right off was to
take a nursing lamb off its mother and put in front of me. The lamb
started sucking on my little pecker and pretty soon I was hard. He
was getting hard just watching me but I didn't know what all that was
about and then he stuck his hard cock into the mother sheep and I
watched him pushing in and out until his face got all screwed up and
he started groaning and moaning and I put my hand on tiny lolita preteen incest his bum and
asked if he was all right. All of a sudden he was nearly pulling the
skin off the sheep and moaning and then he sank back onto the hay and
caught his breath for a while. I asked him why he was putting his
pecker into a sheep's bum and he said it wasn't a bum and besides it
felt good. He said it was fun and he would show me how to do it next
year. --The next year I didn't go to visit them in the summer but the year
after I did and he said first I had to know what it was like to be
the sheep and that night he called me over to his bed and when I was
in it next to him he pulled up my nightshirt and put his hard cock
into my bum. The next day I got to do it to a sheep. --Now I'm in Cambridge and some other kid from here is taking my
place with my folks. But the kids around here are really prudes.
They're all so ashamed of their bodies. The first night I was with my
host family I walked nude from the bathroom to the room I'm sharing
with Terry and his father told me I had to cover myself. I thought
there are a few things underage illegal russian lolitas I could teach that kid if I can ever get his
clothes off--he even sleeps in them most of the time and he doesn't
know a thing about what you can do with a sheep. --So this week at the fair; well, all the 4H boys are in the old
bunkroom and there are these big group showers that can hold ten kids
at a time. We were all in there last night and they were carrying on
with all these silly jokes about greeks and don't drop the soap and
snapping towels and grabbing at each others' asses. I was getting
hard just watching them fool around and got behind Terry and gave him
a poke and all of a sudden I was inside him and he didn't even feel
me at first. Then he broke away and gave me this silly grin like he
half liked it but thought I was queer or crazy. Well tonight I was
taking a shower alone and him and the others took all my clothes and
when I came out to go to my locker and get more they jumped me and
threw me out the door. So instead of trying to get back in I just ran
over here. I knew you were here and they'll never think to come here
when they finally get around to looking for me. We'd finished our tea then so I took him on a short tour of the van.
The 12 yo showing lolita
awnings were down so I felt no compulsion to put anything on and
it was warm enough. He's a cute kid, small, like about a ten year-old
would be, a little taller, a little longer, if you know what I mean.
When the tour got back aft in the van Gustaf threw himself across the
cushions under the lights, feet drawn up so his legs were splayed and
his arms were over his head. He layed there watching me as I sat
beside him watching his pecker get hard. At first I was going to ask
him what he was doing for the rest of the night. How he would get
back in to the bunkhouse, but then I figured he could stay and he
would like that cos it would eventually worry Terry even if Terry
didn't really want to be worried about it. Then we talked about some
other show things for a few minutes until suddenly Gustaf sat up and
said: --Well, I guess if you don't want me then I'll be going along now. Wait! I grabbed his hand as he stood, I want you very much Gustaf; at
the very least I want you to stay just so I can continue to look at
your beautiful body; I want you for more than that but at the same
time I am very much afraid. --What's to be afraid of, he interrupted, I'm a boy, you're a man. I
can tell you love boys, that's one of the things we learnt at school
back home, and my uncle taught me all about being a catamite. I held him close, laid him back against my chest and braided his
hair, and then turned off the big lights and together we practiced
some of the things his uncle taught him to do so well.

well my efforts to help finally resulted in a confrontation with myself and one of the owners of Joe. To SPITE me and keep me or my son Noah from having contact with the dog......seeing into the pen easily......touching him......feeding him treats....or anything.....they took down the one end of the picket fence on Joe's pen that faces my grandmother's house....and put up a large privacy fence piece instead.
SO now Joe cannot see out of this end of the pen.....to see what we are all doing on this side....we cannot easily even see him at all unless we go to the backside of my grandmother's garage area or come down the alley the other way....as that side of his fence area is still open to "view" things. My uncle still went over to pet Joe the other day even though the owner said if she catches any one of us on their property they will call the police. I feel so bad for Joe. I was there last night and would normally have gone over to hug him and talk to him and kiss him and give him treats. This was all I could see instead. I did YELL over to him "HI JOE!" and I heard him bark. This makes me incredibly sad and upset. I feel really badly for Joe....whose sad life probably has become even sadder now as he has limited gaze upon the outside world or any signs of affection toward him with this big fence section up.
I doubt these owners even got a permit to put this fence piece up. SO..instead of doing what was right for Joe and making the pen livable for him.....and spending any money on HIM.....the owner out of spite.....spent money on a fence section and put it up instead.
I think she is a wicked bitch. Sorry.....but it is what it is.
AND to make matters worse...Tom the cat I have been taking care of with the help of my grandmother...until I can take him to MY home in the future that allows cats......seems to have either been shot in the face with a BB gun or pellet gun or got into a fight and bit by another animal or cat. I am not sure..I did not think to take photos of his face last night. The wound does not seem to bother him much and it looks clean and dry and not infected.....he can eat okay. I will have to go back and take photos and monitor the situation and take him to the vet if he needs treatment. I hope these neighbors have not done something to Tom. I may have to bring Tom here to live in my house or backyard before I am in a place that allows pets...just for his safety.

BENEFITING: Modesto Peace/life Center
EVENT DATE: Jan 15, 2017
As an erstwhile deejay at community radio station KDVS in Davis, I know how important it is for communities to have independently-run media for public affairs, news, and music. From the standpoints of intellectual freedom and community engagement, community radio is essential: it's a democratic form of media; it allows us to hear music and programs we would never otherwise have a chance to enjoy; and when it's done right, it engages the imagination. I'm excited to help the Modesto Peace Life Center's new radio project find a group of financial supporters and potential volunteers.
About the station: the Modesto Peace/Life Center just got its construction permit last year in August to build a full-power FM radio station. They are first planning web streaming to help get the word out that they are creating a radio station.
They don't have the equipment to do this yet, so that's where we come in!

(child dofla is awesome)
I lol'd at the Aizen comparision.
Anyway, those new guys are the most retarded villains of all time.
- Ginjou can't act and thus risks being mindfucked forever
- he risks killing Ichigo during the training SEVERAL TIMES despites his only aim being getting his powers. He does not even bother to kill him in the end, so why?!
- so if Ginjou can't act, what about Tsukishima? Couldn't he take that part of their plan instead?
- he risks losing and does not mindfuck Ishida because IT WOULDN'T BE FUN TO WIN 100%. What the FUCK?!
- he risks losing and does not kill Ichigo. Once again, WHAT THE FUCK?! He even fucking stabbed him already and then he is just like "oh wait I'll let you live"?
God, it's just incredible how much idiot balls one villain can hold.
Well, at least we got Rukia back. I also like the slight redesign both Rukia and Ichigo got.
In its art evolution most characters got the same face.
Now, think also about this for a moment. Nagato was ressurrected and his hair and body came back in the condition that it was when before he died. He still had the rinnegan and so on. Itachi was ressurected, yet was not blind like he was before he died. He should not have had been able to use his sharingan. But this is a minor technicality I guess.
I'd also love it if Nagato decides to resurrect all of the dead shinobi in this war. No one is obeying Kabuto's Edo Tensei technique anyways, so why not? Just do it Kishi. Just do it.
How much can you do? Just grab a ball and juggle.
All those balls in the air, How hard can it be?
So hard you're getting dizzy!
Keep those balls in the air, Keep those balls in the ai-air!
Balls in the air!
He wanted to keep it for Madara.Danzo died right? If he had shusui eye, how come he got owned again?

Notice how the background style hasn't really changed at all. They are all in a white void of nothingness.

Konohamaru's adventure begins.
Both bleach and Naruto were good this week. What's with all of the commotion around here? Somehow two good chapters made you realize that both series suck? Didn't you know that already prior to this? I could understand it if the chapters were shit, but they weren't. In fact, I was surprised by how the latest bleach chapter kept my interest... which didn't happen a long time ago.
The Bleach chapter was shit on so many levels though. And the Naruto chapter was pretty stupid as well. And we've thought of Bleach and Naruto as stupid for a long time
Between the two bleach was better for simply fact that fullbring arc is about to end(i hope) we can move on to chars that we already know.
Naruto one only good thing about it for me more were final pages,but begs the questions why nagato didnt use this when he was alive.
Nagato was anorectic when he was alive. He didn't want to eat and get fat. If he sees himself in the mirror now, he's gonna kill himself.
As for bleach, I thought Ginju and the other guy's plan was clever. It surpassed my expectations. I was expecting it to be anticlimactic.
How the hell was it clever? There were a million ways to get it done far more easily and we still have no real motive for the villains other than that they're doing it for the lulz. Not to mention it relies on the fact that Tsukishima's power cdan do things which by all means should not be even remotely possible with his power. Memory insertion should not change Ginjo's core personality. Hell, at most it should just confuse him since he should still have the memories of Tsukishima being his friend. It also highlights how goddamn useless a protagonist Ichigo is since he utterly failed against Ginjo and had to be bailed out by a horrible plot device. If all it would take is for Rukia to stab him like she did at the start of the series, then why the fuck didn't she do that right away instead of waiting over a year? Why didn't Ichigo's dad tell him about it in the first place if it did need time? What the fuck was the point of Ichigo even getting a fullbring power if he would immediately lose it? What the hell was the point of this godawful arc in general?
Well I didn't like Naruto because it felt like what I call middle Naruto returned:
Early Naruto(Up until the time skip): Focused on exploring a big world with small, insignificant characters with big dreams(Sort of like OP in how characters were potrayed)
Middle Naruto (Up until Itachi's death):Focused on ridiculous explanations for what should be simple attacks to make things sound complex and planned out despite being the opposite. (Worst part of Naruto in my oppinion)
Late Naruto (The Kage meeting and beyond.): Brought back a taste of that big world feel by introducing all of the Kages at long last but showed an obvious longing to finish the manga. This is the part where all the bad planning began to show when the kages seemed a lot closer to the strength of everyone else than legendary shinobi should. This part also had random failed attempts at slapstick comedy(armadillo penis) and many scenes that were just plain gross (Yammato's capture state) Fights here have also been far too brief and uninspired.
So I respect your opinion that Naruto isn't as bad as people say, in fact I would have agreed 2 weeks ago and back with the raikage flashback, but I would have to disagree with your opinion of this chapter.
Bleach on the other hand I quit back when we had that cliffhanger of somebody's boot while Ichigo was beating up random kids.
If Ginjou's plan was cleaver, could you please tell me why did they want Ichigo's fullbring, where do the other fullbringers fall into this plan and why did Ginjou tell Ichigo about his dad then forgetting about what he told him next chapter.

I still don't get how Ichigo could acquire a fullbring when its supposed to be a power you have to be born with

After I completed my undergrad degree in 2012, my reading habits fell by the wayside. I kept writing fairly regularly, but every time I tried to stop and sit down with a book I'd find myself distracted. I made my way through a few, but eventually I just stopped reading. It wasn't a good thing, but it's the truth.
It was a trend I'd noticed even before I went back to college. Over the course of a couple of years I transitioned from manual labor (janitor, warehouse, driving a donation truck) to sitting behind a desk. As my work life required more and more thought and less general labor, my need to let my brain relax and enjoy some mindless entertainment grew. I wasn't craving time diving into the written word, writing as much, or even sketching like I used to do.
Fast forward to fall of 2016. My writing slump was beginning to really hit hard, and there were other personal issues going on. I just sort of zoned out, and buried myself in video games.
My lovely wife is a constant reader, and had just decided to pick up knitting around that time. She still wanted her reading time though, so she was listening to an audiobook decided to put it on while she worked on a blanket on the couch. The book was the second in the Diviners series by Libba Bray, called "Lair of Dreams."
I played Minecraft and she knitted, and very quickly I became engaged by the book, even though I'd come into it about a third of the way into the second book in the series. We listened to it together, and then she got the first book on audio for me through her Audible account.
….and ever since, I have been audiobook crazy. I listen on my way to work, on lunch, on my way home, while running errands, while cleaning litter boxes, and when Pamela goes out with friends or travels for work, I listen pretty much all night.
I even jumped in on Goodreads' 2017 Reading Challenge, and I'm pleased to report I'm currently on my 63rd book this year. I've read middle grade books, YA, adult fiction, nonfiction, poetry, memoir, and everything in-between. I'll burn through a series then pick up the next, and just keep going! I swear I'd die without Overdrive and all the wonderful libraries in the St. Louis area.
I also had my first true fanboy moment with an author, when I got to meet the amazing Leigh Bardugo and get my copies of the Six of Crows duology signed (Thank you St. Charles City-County Library and Main Street Books!). Love those books, and she was kind, funny, and just lovely in person.So really, while writing fell temporarily by the wayside, I at least feel like I've found myself as a reader again this year — and it's a beautiful feeling.

Well, I have packed everything I need for my trip except for my laptop. The heat has been set to fifty-five degrees; cold snap is predicted for tomorrow so I have opened all the interior doors to allow the air to circulate.
I've started this file on my laptop because I am not going to have internet at the hotel. It is incredibly expensive there. I will be blogging to a journal each evening and then uploading when I get to a pub that has Wi-Fi. I take it as read that I will be getting the opportunity to visit a pub or two over the next couple weeks.
I suppose I should shut this down, give my home one last quick going-over, and then head-out to the airport. It is about that time.
Wherever you are today, I hope that you are having a great day!

There are certain kitchen items that need to be left out on display either because you use them constantly; they would start to smell if you hid them away; or you simply don't have room for them within your cupboards. That's fine, just try to make sure that these items look good. You don't want an ugly bottle of washing up liquid by your sink, for example, you want a subtly stylish container, such as this L.A Bruket, pump-action dispenser. What's more this natural liquid is made with organic essential oils of rosemary and lemongrass and will not damage your hands or the environment.
Same goes for the washing up brush and counter cloths too. Avoid those lurid coloured ones you see on supermarket shelves. Opt for something with a designer feel instead. This free-standing scrubbing brush, which comes as part of a the Bucket Dishwashing set with matching micro fibre cloth, soap dispenser and container, also comes with a replacement brush head.
And, when it comes to tea towels avoid anything white or light coloured. Tea towels are often not only used for drying dishes, but for wiping oily and greasy hands on whilst cooking. Those light-coloured ones quickly lose their glistening brightness. Go for darker colour teatowels and the same goes for napkins too, this Hopsack set won't show the marks.

If it was meant to be, it will happen
No. I don't agree. I don't buy into the game of waiting and hoping. I have a role in the events in my life.
The only way for me to experience a different reality is take responsibility and run with it. I do my best to live within the cycle of personal accountability. To seek reality, to find solutions, and know that if it's to be, it's up to me.
I have a choice: act accountable or be a victim. One will change outcomes. One won't.

Industry Project Report on the Australian Private Health Fund Industry
Executive Summary
Private Health Insurance occupies a significant but ambiguous position within Australia's health care system. It is a voluntary facility for private funding of hospital care and ancillaries, sitting alongside a compulsory tax-financed public system (Medicare) that is available to all. It is also constrained by regulations designed to pursue similar non-discriminatory access objectives to those in the public system
Declining membership numbers, particularly among the young and healthy, has led to concerns about the longer term viability of private health insurance (Brisban…

Message from President
It is my honor to welcome you to George Mason University Korea (GMU Korea). As you learn more about us, including our mission, what an outstanding faculty and staff we have, and our state of the art facilities, it is my hope you will become part of the GMU Korea family so that we can help you pursue your educational dreams. Though still in our beginning years, we are already acquiring a global reputation as evidenced by our diverse student body and as a model institution for innovation and transformative education.
Located on Incheon Global Campus in the beautiful community of Songdo within the metropolitan city of Incheon and its award-winning international airport, we are part of a new global university initiative where we share a campus with other prominent institutions of higher learning from throughout the world. These institutions are State University of New York, University of Utah and Ghent University. Each of us is a satellite extension of our main campuses. We are part of George Mason University, the largest four-year university in Virginia and the only one boasting two Nobel Prize winning faculty members.
Here in Korea, we are an active part of a legacy of academic excellence and diversity where the intellectual growth of our students is a top priority. Our goal is to help create critical, forward-minded thinkers who have the values, skills and intellectual capacity to make contributions to our society. We want our students to earn a George Mason diploma embracing the commitment to enhance the well-being of our world, examine and offer solutions to problems of complexity, and, and skills to enhance, and, ultimately, pave the way for tomorrows that are far better than any of our yesterdays.
GMU Korea opened its doors in spring, 2014. Songdo is a master-planned community recognized throughout the world as a smart city offering exciting living, employment, and educational opportunities in an eco-friendly environment. Songdo is where we strive to ignite intellectual curiosity and creative thinking. We began with fewer than three dozen students. GMU Korea has since grown to encompass an exceptionally diverse student body, representing over two dozen nations and numbering several hundred young scholars. Within the next few years we are slated to reach 1,000 students. Our student-oriented staff and faculty come from nearly a dozen countries. Their active presence showcases our enduring commitment to global leadership and our pursuit of academic and educational excellence. We are a singular institution with a global mind-set and pioneering spirit. These are reasons why we continue to enjoy the enthusiastic support of the Korean government and Incheon Metropolitan City as well as partnerships with dozens of institutions, organizations, and businesses throughout the world.
As we continue to build on what we have thus far achieved, I invite you to take the time to learn about every aspect of us, including our world-class academic programs of study, our array of extra-curricular activities and options, including on-and off-campus internship opportunities, and about our unique curriculum through which all students travel and study at our main campus in Fairfax, near Washington D.C., for two semesters.
At George Mason University Korea, global education is not an aspiration; it is what we are. We look forward to meeting and working with you in what I hope will be the very near future.
Yours in global spirit,
Dr. Steven K. Lee

I kind of suspected this earlier in the week, but there is no confirmation in the Omaha World-Herald that Nebraska-Omaha's Bryan Marshall is unlikely to play this weekend against Northern Michigan.
Kemp also said it's possible that Marshall will miss the Mavericks next game, on Tuesday when UNO travels to Mankato. That would mean Marshall, one of the country's top playmakers, would miss UNO's final five games of the season, and probably kill whatever hope of Hobey Baker contention he had.
