For Sale
Pringle, Pringle lend me a hand
Have to sell my house in old Cleveland
A nice split-level in Shaker Heights
See the vanity with all new lights
Granite counters with faux gold leaf
A nice neighborhood beyond belief
Got a job down there in Austin way
Gotta sell without giving it all away
Make me an offer and make it grand
Please buy my house in old Cleveland

It's Tuesday and Mercy got a job. Bud got another consulting contract. St. Anthony's finds things for you. He finds jobs, lost wallets, lost children, lost keys. My husband says that one of the best perks of Catholicism is devotion to the saints. He loves St. Anthony.
Mercy loves St. Anthony too and has been cheerfully reminding us all through this job hunting season that Tuesdays are for St. Anthony and that is when she expects something to come through for her. Cheerfully is the key word here. Faith is another.
One of my favorite prayers in the mass is, "As we wait in joyful hope.."
The day is sunny, rainy, and windy. Looking out my window I focus on a small pane of glass as I see sunlight on orange leaves. The tree is against a bank of gunmetal gray clouds. The picture is breathtaking.
This is such a spectacular season.

Best court moment of the week
Question from DA: "How did you react when you were served with the subpoena?"
Witness, a big fat hillbilly with a long white beard, talking in a very slow drawl: "I was drunk."
He claimed he never saw the burglary. When the defendant heard the charges being dropped, he celebrated by shouting and throwing his arms up like you would at a football game. Then, when he got taken into custody for violating his probation, he started yelling again.
Then his mother got up and started yelling at the judge at the top of her lungs, blaming "some girls" for all the thefts. The defendant, who had "True" on the knuckles of one hand and "Pride" on the other, among countless other tattoos, started yelling back at his grandmother to shut up. Then they started yelling at each other.
Who says there is no theater in Taft?

There once was a girl. Stubborn and always wanting to have her way; she was a spoilt child really. And how could she not be…she was the only child to that couple.
One day she found an innovative way to annoy her parents. Whilst sitting on her bed, she suddenly began to shout and cry. Mum and Dad ran to her room and asked her what the matter was. To which she said "There is a monster under my bed!!!"
Dad immediately got down on his knees and checked under the bed. The mother meanwhile comforted the child. Knowing that this means she can have them run to her room whenever she wanted…she would frequently shout and cry.
One night she started shouting…as expected the dad ran in…slipped on a toy and fell. Bursting out in a laughter fit, she managed to ask him why is it he always runs when she shouts. At which point the dad looks up to the mother…with a sad face. The mother then says "I think it's time you know dear"
"Know what?" said the little girl…feeling a bit concerned.
"You had an elder brother years ago. Like you he would always scream and say there is a monster in his room…." continued the mother.
"You are kidding me…right?" retorted the little girl.
"No dear…one night we decided to ignore his cries…only once…we never saw him again!!" said the mother before running out of the room sobbing.
Later that night the little girl was screaming again. When they got in, the girl said: "Dad there is someone under my bed…I'm not joking!!"
As the dad leaned to check…to his surprise…his little daughter was there…under the bed…terrified and whispered "Dad…there is a monster on my bed!!!!!!"
Reluctantly, the dad peeked on the bed. And there it was, with its head slightly tilted. A faint grin appears on its face and says "Hi Daddy…we meet again!"

I didn't weigh myself for nearly 4 years. I said that weight was just a number and that it didn't define who I was. I was not a number on a scale. I was beyond numbers on a scale. I was ENLIGHTENED!
I was also full of shit.
(Sorry Erica, for the the bad word. But I just really was full of…that.)
See, I'm happy to be all high and mighty and tight-lipped when my weight is quite clearly something I don't want to know. But if the scale said something like 130? I would have tattooed that number on my forehead and then gone shouting in the streets, "I weigh 130 BITCHES!"
It's true.
So the first step, they say, is admitting the problem. And the problem is heavy, guys. The problem actually is about 187lbs of heavy.
Wow, okay. I did it.
Moving on!
So how am I going to solve this 187lb problem? The answer is simple: better food, actual exercise, and motivation.
Better food: find me on http://www.dailyburn.com (user: BooyahGirl). You'll be able to see what I'm eating every day. You can be my friend and we can motivate each other. Please note that all motivation should be typed LIKE THIS BECAUSE MOTIVATION CLEARLY SHOULD BE IN ALL CAPS! MOTIVATION!!!!!!!!
Actual exercise: I've joined two challenges so far on Gyminee (which is what Daily Burn used to be called, but Gyminee is cuter and we are sticking to that name). I will be doing 1000 push-ups (not all at once, but a few every day) and walking 1000 miles (again, not all at once). We are also going to start hiking and I'm going to be walking Slim to a bus stop 2.3 miles away 3 times a week.
Motivation: First, Slim and I are choosing one treat to enjoy each weekend, only if we've done very well on our Gyminee goals during the week. Second, I've decided on a reward for every milestone:
10lbs: hiking pants
15lbs: one Yoga class a week
20lbs: a new swimsuit
25lbs: Haircut/color
I told Slim that I wanted to get to a point where I felt comfortable to wear a bikini top with shorts. He told me that when I reach that goal, he wanted to do something special as a reward.
That reward?
That's right, guys. HAWAII! I've already set that picture as my desktop background *and* I've downloaded some Hawaiian music onto my iPod for my workouts.
So there you have it. My plan to tell this extra weight, "Aloha," and to finally see what 140lbs looks like.
Come onto Gyminee and be my friend. Follow along here. Offer advice!
I'm going to kick ass on this Whatever. Mark my words! My weighty, weighty words.

Troop enjoys a night of exciting Army hockey!
Troop 1 Katonah enjoyed an exciting night of Division 1 college hockey on Saturday night at the United States Military Academy at West Point where the Army Black Knights took on the Tigers from Rochester Institute of Technology. The two teams had met the previous night, where the Tigers came from behind to win 3-2. On Saturday night, both teams skated hard and fought for the puck, keeping each other at bay until the second period. The Tigers made the first score of the night only a minute and a half into the second period. Army tied the game about a minute into the third period, and the two teams remained locked throughout the rest of the contest. Our Scouts cheered with the home crowd through three exciting periods. The Scouts enjoyed a little bit of "free hockey" as the two teams met in a five-minute overtime period. Both teams fought hard and had many scoring opportunities, but the game ended in a tie (the Atlantic Hockey League does not play to a shootout). Both teams are trying to clinch playoff spots, and this would be RIT's first year to be eligable for post-season play. The Tigers are currently ranked 2nd in Atlantic Hockey, with Army following behind in 6th place. Twenty-eight Scouts and adult leaders from Troop 1 Katonah enjoyed the trip, and most likely we'll schedule another event like it next year. If you have an idea for a local sports outing (such as racing at Orange County Speedway or Hudson Valley Renegades baseball), let us know!

How can you wake up early and face the day when you haven't had a good night's sleep? One of the biggest sleep thieves is sleep apnea, an advanced form of snoring. If you have been diagnosed with this issue, then check out some great tips in this article about living with it.
One way to improve your sleep apnea is to shed excess weight that you are carrying. Being overweight or obese places pressure on your neck, which can compress your windpipe as you sleep. Losing just 25 pounds can make a difference in your symptoms, and losing enough weight can eliminate the disorder altogether.
Get a checkup regularly and act upon your doctor's suggestions. Besides excess weight, you could be suffering from health issues such as heart disease and hypertension, which can greatly increase your chance of suffering from sleep apnea. Even problems with blood sugar can make sleeping a miserable experience for apnea sufferers.
There are three different types of sleep apnea. Obstructive, central, and complexes are all forms of sleep apnea. You need to go to the doctor and have a professional assess which type of sleep apnea you have, so they can offer the best treatment and advice for your specific condition.
Understand the effects that smoking and drinking alcohol have on sleep apnea, if you are trying to get a grip on your quality of sleep. Smoking enlarges airways, while alcohol can relax them too much, both of which will contribute to the symptoms of sleep apnea severely. Consider making the necessary cut-backs that will cut down on your sleep problems.
If you tend to snore a lot and have difficulties staying asleep, you should go see your doctor right away. You might have a condition known as sleep apnea: find an effective treatment so you can get enough sleep and go through your daily activities without being held back by your health problem.
Do you always sleep on your back? Try sleeping on your side instead. When you sleep on your back with a head propped on a pillow, your airways get narrower. Go to sleep on your side and use cushions to prevent yourself from rolling in your sleep. Your airways should remain open as long as you are on your side.
If you have to use a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine, you may find it hard to get used to at first. It is important that you do not quit using the machine, though. Focus on the benefits of the machine rather than the inconvenience. It will make life safer for yourself and others. Daytime sleepiness caused by sleep apnea is a major risk factor for car accidents, for instance.
While it is difficult to completely remove sleep apnea, you can learn to live with it through tips like those found in this article. If you liked them, be sure to share this article with friends and loved ones who suffer from the same problem. This will help everyone to get a better night's rest.

Book: The Brontes by Juliet Barker Rating: Five Stars
This was the first book I've read to start doing research for my dissertation, and it is also a book I've wanted to read ever since my interest in the Bronte family began. It's pretty much the definitive biography, covering not only Anne, Emily Charlotte and Branwell's lives, but starting with their father Patrick and ending with his death in 1861. If you wanted to read anything about this incredible family, then there's no other book I could recommend more, with not only incredible research and examinations of Bronte myths, but with a true sense of who this family was, and what Haworth was like when they lived there. The book at first focuses on Patrick's life before he met Maria and had the Bronte children, which at first I found hard to get into, but I became really interested in Patrick's story and this book left me with such a great admiration for a man who became successful in his own right, and was a loving and dedicated father to his children.
Naturally I'm biased, but I wish there was more on Anne, but this is of no fault of Barker's, merely due to the lack of writings we have left of Anne's. I admit I cried when reading about her death, Barker wrote about her last days wonderfully, and it never fails to make me emotional. There was a lot on Charlotte, seeing as most of what we know of the family comes from her letters and other correspondence. I learned a lot about Charlotte's personality and her relationships with those outside of her family, and how she handled life and London society once she achieved fame.
Overall this book is a long but truly worthwhile read, and highlights the genius of all members in the family, and the potential that was lost in their deaths. Who knows what else this brilliant family could have achieved if they lived longer?
Album: Melodrama by Lorde Rating: Five Stars
I've always liked Lorde's music but since the release of her second album Melodrama I've become obsessed. This album is so good, and I've been listening to it every day since its release. I'm listening to it as I write this post, as I always need a good album to listen to while reading or writing. I love becoming invested in an album as each song always gets its chance to stand out to me, leaving me with a great appreciation of the whole album. Lorde seems to perfectly express the feeling of starting adulthood, dealing with heartbreak and youth in an electrifying and gut punching way in some songs. Liability and Writer in the Dark stand out as emotional but quieter songs that are beautiful in their simplicity, and hit me emotionally. That's not to say the rest of the album doesn't, with The Louvre and Perfect Places being two of my favourites, but honestly there's not a disappointing song on the album. What Lorde has achieved at such a young age is staggering, and I look forward to her future music.
It's also worth checking out her set at Glastonbury on BBC iPlayer, Lorde putting on a fantastic live show, that showcases the new album and songs from her debut work.
Outing: Kinky Boots at the Adelphi Theatre Rating: Five Stars
I've wanted to see this how for so long, and I'm so thrilled it is now playing in London, and that I managed to see it! For those who don't know the plot, here is a basics synopsis from the official website:
Kinky Boots takes you from the factory floor to the glamorous catwalks of Milan. Charlie Price, played by David Hunter (Once, One Man, Two Guvnors), is struggling to live up to his father's expectations and continue the family business of Price & Son. With the shoe factory's future hanging in the balance, help arrives in the unlikely but spectacular form of Lola, played by Olivier award-winner Matt Henry, a fabulous performer in need of some sturdy new stilettos.
I was sitting right at the top in the upper circle, but the view was still pretty great, and didn't take away from the show one bit. I was a fan of the Original Broadway Cast Recording, and sometimes what you've heard from songs and characters on a recording leaves with you with a fixed image of how the songs and characters should be, and I've seen people be disappointed that actors haven't lived up to what they think they should sound like, but that wasn't the case here at all. I always try to separate the two, and I've never found it a problem, as seeing the show live is like hearing the cast recording again for the first time, and falling in love with the music and story all over again in a different and fa more special way. This was absolutely the case with this show, as the cast was beyond fantastic, and Matt Henry especially stands out (how the hell he or any of the cast manage to dance so well in such high heels is beyond me, just how??) though David Hunter was a perfect Charlie, a highlight being his big number Soul of a Man. I love how all the characters are flawed, but ultimately endearing, and there wasn't one I didn't grow to love throughout the show.
One of the jokes in the show caused a woman in the audience to laugh so much that the show couldn't continue, as she had such a distinctive laugh it was all everyone could hear, and so the rest of the audience kept laughing at her laugh. Even the actors themselves broke a bit, and I felt bad for them considering it was right before an emotional song, but the audience clapped and cheered after the woman laughed, and so it was a memorable moment for everyone to enjoy.
The music is insanely catchy and perfect to listen to-day to day, but also as motivational upbeat music. Cyndi Lauper wrote all of the score, and the songs exemplified the show's messages of acceptance, full of heart and love. The ending number is probably the best I've seen in a musical, all of the cast and ensemble coming together in what feels like such a united, group effort, and making me, and everyone else leave on such a high. The best way to spend an evening.
In a time where things feel pretty dark, it was so nice to enter the theater and feel so much warmth and happiness, with a show proud of highlighting love, personal growth and people from different backgrounds finding common ground, becoming friends and creating something beautiful. This show is what is needed right now, and I hope it has a long future on the West End, and if you can go see it, or listen to the soundtrack, it's so worth it.
Most of the month was spent reading Juliet Barker's book, so I didn't think it was worth doing a reading roundup, so thought I would try something different! Hoping to update more next month and read a lot more!

Working for more than one agency
I'm currently working as an agency nurse and like to limit my schedule to 3 - 4 days per week, preferring to have the extra time-off over the extra money I could be making working full-time. My current scheduling is via "block-time"..working the same days/shift each week, and have been doing that for about 1-1/2 years with the same agency. Now I'm seeing alot of posts recommending signing on with more than one agency when things get slow and cancellations frequent with a facility, and while this has certainly happened to me, I haven't yet made the decision to sign on with more than one company because I'm unsure of how that would work out in my particular situation. Do different agencies frown on a nurse already working at one company turn around and sign on with them as well? Or do you just sign up with a particular agency and not disclose the fact that you are already working for a different agency at the same time? (Thinking about competition issues with that question). Also, what do you do if both agencies want you on the same days? What if one cancels at the last minute...can you then call the second agency and see what they have available? I'm just not sure how it works when more than one agency is involved.
Also, on a related note, I am starting to investigate the idea of doing travel nursing part for of the year and retaining my local agency position for the remainder of the year. Has anyone else done this and have any thoughts or suggestions?
About cccladyrn
Joined: Jun '03; Posts: 4Jun 3, '03cccladyrn: I am always clear to my agencies of my intentions. I usually tell them before they hear it from someone else of plans that I have say, 2-3 weeks out.
I have heard, and it appears to be sometimes true, that per diem agencies will book their fulll-time employees best and keep them at full time. Their per diem staff sort of "fend for themselves".
YOU seem to have it worked out nicely with blockbooking and that helps tremendously. Keep an updated record of your contacts, charge nurses who will block book you, and keep in touch with them from time to time.
Travel Nursing is great. Try to get into a facility that is "travel friendly" and uses travelers frequently. If you have a good agency they will tell you ALL that you want to know.
For researching travel companies, I often look at the www.delphiforums.com to lurk on the posters sight for travel and therapists BB. YOu will find dialogue there and some on our BB.
Interview, interview, interview... various travel companies and recruiters.... Keep an accurate record and quote what they promise and get a signature on it.
YOU are the commodity.... be careful what you sign and what is NOT in writing you will NOT get....
Let us know how you are doing and ... HAVE FUN! Yes, Nursing IS FUN!Jun 3, '03I work with 2 agencies, I let the second agency know that I work for the first hospital at certain hospitals so I won't work for them at those hospitals, I let them know which hospitals I will work for them at, it works out just fine for me. I use the second agency as a back up.Jun 4, '03Same here. I just signed on with a second agency. They know I work with another agency too. I need another one to fill in the blank shifts. Besides, a second agency may get me into places, the first one can't, because of contract. Being a full time agency nurse, hence self-employed, it's good to get my name out more. My first choice, though, will go to the first agency. I've had a great working relationship with them for years.Jun 17, '03What I would think would be the best of all worlds is to do local agency contracts during the seasonal time and travel nursing the other part of the time with a break in the middle if you will.
I have been doing travel nursing almost 3 years now and when my contract is up, I am thinking of doing some agency that's local but having the Holidays off and after Jan 1st, a 13 week contract as local agency, then another 26 week contract as a Travel Nurse again.
It's hard to decide but vow to have the Holidays off from here on in.Sep 8, '03If you haven't had a problem, then I wouldn't confuse the issue with another agency. I work for an agency and am per diem with an IHR (in house registry) If I do get cancelled, I know the hospital can always use the help. I traveled for three years and worked for favorite nurses, so I just worked at the local office if there was one and when I spent time at home I could just step back in and pick up shifts at home. It worked out great for everyone. Good luck in your adventures!Sep 13, '03I worked for one agency but when they started cancelling me alot, I signed on with two more agencies. The first pays the least, but I love the hospital they staff me at the most. But if they cancel me, then I call one of the other two agencies for fill in shifts. One of them doesn't take out taxes, so it's the last resort. They all know I work for more than one agency too. Only one of them seems to have a problem with it, but I told them "I will work for whoever gives me shifts, I can't afford to just NOT work because you don't ahve anything."Sep 14, '03And don't all Agencies have a pool of Nurses? It should be okay with them that we have several Agencies.Last edit by nightingale on Sep 14, '03Oct 3, '03I am a Travel Nurse and also an agency Nurse, too. I am registered with many companies and frankly, you will work a lot more with more than one company, I promise you.
I am in South Florida where it is seasonal. I wanted to work in Calif. but they are striking again and I want none of this walking over picket lines stuff.
What to do? For me, I should be traveling in the Spring/Summer when it slows down and stay in sunny Fl. when it gets cool. I can work agency with benefits in Florida and travel with benefits so I will always have health insurance and enjoy my life and save for my retirement as well.
No one but you should care where and for whom you should work for. No one but you owes on your bills.
Take care of you and everything else falls into place. It works best this way.Nov 7, '03If it aint broke don't fix it. Don't complicate things if not needed. A lot of facilities get annoyed when nurses are coming through several agencies to their facility. Harder to keep track or who to call I guess???
But if you are not getting the hours you need, go for it. Sometimes it's just a matter of shifting business.

Is there a particular week you should wait for before you should attempt some old wives tales for fun? Only 9 weeks atm and feel like it might be a bit early for some of them
Is there a particular week you should wait for before you should attempt some old wives tales for fun? Only 9 weeks atm and feel like it might be a bit early for some of them
Just things like the baking soda pee one and then ring test, cravings, etc. Think im a bit early for doing the bump position and all that since I hardly have one
The ring test worked for me every single time! My friend at work does it for me and it's so creepy.... It goes through all my previous children (live and angel) and then the current pregnancy. We haven't done it yet for this one, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's accurate.
**Mummy to 3 angel babies and a mini-monster!**
How many weeks were u when u did it? It worked for my sons pregnancy but havent had anymore to go by so havent done it yet with this 1. We tried the shettles girl method for fun with this 1 as we would love a girl but either way we are happy
I have no idea what you guys mean.. Am a new young mom
Theres just some tests you can do according to google called old wives tales that usually dont mean anything but they were old ways of trying to predict gender before the birth or finding out. Most of them end up being wrong but theyre just a bit of fun
Don't do the baking powder one I put it to the test with mums on here and the Dec group who new the sex of there babies and one lady on the march site she did it and it fizzed ( ment to for boy ) so she got her husband to do it and it also fizzed . Mine also fizzed hence why I started the post , so I got my mum to try and it also fizzed and my mum is to old for babies so I no she not pregnant lol , so it sort of put that to the end ,.
My husband and I also try shettle for having a girl child. Not for fun but for real cuz we both want a girl. Since we got a boy already. And I pray the method works. I'm just 10wks+1
They inherently have a 50% chance of being correct. Its why loads of people find them accurate.

I've been toying with the idea of writing an article about the best opening tracks from this year's list. If I do such a thing, "No Son of Mine," the lead track from Every Time I Die's 2007 album The Big Dirty, would be right up there.
"No Son" sets the tone for the record: straight raunch. Big Dirty teems with an aberrant sexuality almost wholly unseen in metalcore. If Prince wrote a hardcore (the music genre, not bodily deviance) record, this would be it.
I wrote earlier this year about the time I saw ETID open for GWAR at the strangest, most Florida venue of all time: the Green Iguana Stadium. The term 'stadium' is more geographical than a description of the actual venue, as it was across from where the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers "team" (see: winless 2013 record) "plays" "football".
If you've ever been to my fair home state, you know the plague of prototypical/shitty motels on the waterfront. Okay, imagine that, except instead of opening your door to either the Gulf or the Atlantic, you are met with tiki torches and bamboo huts, a field that once had actual grass but now has been trampled over to the point of just… dirt, and, oh yeah, a giant outdoor stage.
As I recall, the band remarked on an Instagram picture of the swimming pool inside the venue that it was like a bad 1980's party movie waiting to happen. PS, a fog machine around poolside amped up the skeez-factor. Is there any better description you need? Other than the fact that it had very recently rained, thus making the grounds an utter disaster and resulting in literal mud slinging, drunk assholes diving (well, falling, really) into said pool, and general tomfoolery.
The point is, there's a reason the Florida Man Twitter exists. Same with "Florida or Germany?" Why all of the nation's crazy is dumped into its thumb/penis, I don't know. It's concentrated insanity there.
Anyway, the point is all that Florida weirdness was combined with ETID's gratuitous musical filth to make for a night that was nothing short of pornographic. Big fan.
Take, for example, "We'rewolf." Maybe I'm leaning too heavily on the band's fabulous, 80s-themed video for the song, but I'll be damned if that isn't the perfect depiction of the evening's events, and this album in general.
As always, the band manages to capture a great deal of their unmatched live show energy and bottle it into forceful, mind-numbing riffs and jams. The inclusion of Dallas Green on "INRIhab" (a title that is so good it shouldn't even be real) is smart, too. While I'm not a City and Colour fan by any stretch of the imagination, and I grew out of Alexisonfire a long time ago, his vocals are a welcomed foil for Keith Buckley's screaming.
The album closes on a line that surmises the band's paradoxical mantra: It is better to destroy than to create what is meaningless, so the picture will not be finished. Good night.
From Every Time I Die's The Big Dirty, this is the stellar opening track, "No Son of Mine" –
Standout tracks: "We'rewolf," "INRIhab," and "Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Battery"
Weakest track: "Depressionista"
RIYL: Skinemax.

Trauma and recovery: 2 couples claw back from porn addiction
gdog3finally West Jordan, UtahJuly 30, 2013 3:44 a.m.
Exercise is great. I wouldn't dare tell one not to do it. That said, throwing it out there as a "do something else" solution is way down the list of porn remedies and approaches. We all come home after the gym full of testosterone and fire all the more. And avoiding coming home means less time with family where I see the "do something else approach" as being more negative. I swim for my exercise and do it at times consistently where I take my boys with me. We exercise and bond.
As for the gym? Sure, if you are single and justify time away from contacts outside the gym, then you could live at the gym and be a muscle head who seldom comes home and faces the internet, TV or other arenas of what some in this forum might call the danger zone for porn addicts. This approach lacks balance for the future and often times involves social contacts at the gym entrenched in obsessive appearance and sex attitudes.
For me, I can chase away many of my demons by just being out in the community with my family and seeing myself with that representation publicly.
jimmypage Meridian, IDJuly 15, 2013 10:28 p.m.
I am saddened by some of the comments here. I do not understand how someone can justify "occasional" pornography use. Married or unmarried, it's not moral. It's not decent. It's embarrassing. There are many who feel women are to blame, and I believe they share part of the blame. However, it's Hugh Heffner, not Sue Heffner. My point is, the people that truly profit from the porn industry are the dudes behind the curtains. And they are men.
Pornography has the power to destroy marriages. Period. I am not interested in taking that risk for a few moments of pleasure in fantasy land. My wife and 2 year old son are too important to me.
For those struggling with this problem: hang in there. I have a great friend who struggled with this for most of his adolescent life, and into adulthood. By faith, and by tweaking a few things in his life, he was able to break away. I believe you have the power to resist the "fiery darts" of the adversary if you so wish. Keep fighting. Employ the Savior. He will never abandon you.
HumbleMan Huntsville, UTJuly 14, 2013 4:42 p.m.
It's sad to see so much male ignorance on display in the comments. It shows how misunderstood the topic is. If you are repeatedly viewing pornography, no matter how frequent, you have a problem. Visually consuming women/men for your own personal pleasure is a problem. Have you ever wondered why you have to do it? A predominate reason men turn to porn is that somewhere along the way, they didn't feel masculine and still don't today. So, they turn to porn images to make themselves feel manly by imagining that they could actually have a perfect fantasy life with the porn image. That's why men (and women) who secretly consume it become so hostile to their real life partner, as the real life partner cannot measure up to the fictitious life of the porn image. That's why it's so addicting. It's also laughable to think that it's the woman's fault for the way she dresses. That's just ducking the responsibility for having a problem and issuing yourself a license to feast in public at an innocent person's expense. That's when you know you have a problem.
Beverly Eden, UTJuly 12, 2013 7:20 a.m.
It seems that the editorial staff is too embarrassed to publish my comments. I have tried, on two different occasions, to point out that the editorial staff's interest in anything related to sex is obvious. A strong interest in things that are immoral is often more telling than the primary story. A person, whose interest in sex is blocked by moral obligations, can be actively involved in the subject matter, and safely satisfy their inappropriate curiosity, by pointing out the immoral behavior of others. The editorial staff is wallowing in this behavior.
Fiannan Eugene, OregonJuly 12, 2013 12:48 a.m.
So how many men have a copy of "50 Shades of Grey?"
As for the porn issue, I will take this propaganda seriously when I see a discussion that deals with the economic exploitation of women (and men) who go into porn movies because of lack of other means to make a living. Yes, there are plenty of people with an exhibitionist mentality, having excellent jobs and educations, that want to star in porn but I believe most are made vulnerable by a society that wags its collective finger at porn viewers (1/3 are female -- not including couple viewing) and participants but not at the mega-corporations that benefit from it economically.
9MM Murray, UTJuly 11, 2013 4:21 p.m.
A relationship requires more than one person for it to exist. That means how we treat those around us, how we act, react, with them on a daily basis. Character traits that we develop will either strengthen or weaken our ability to foster these relationships.
I have yet to see how continual development of traits that objectifies and diminishes others and extols selfishness, will help individuals to develop strong, intimit and enduring relationships.
I also see a direct correlation to the perception of the value of life. We all condemn murder as something obviously wrong as it ends life. But what about the beginning of life? If we do not treat what begets the beginning of life with as much respect as what terminates life, how could we say that we respect life? Isn't that cognitively dissonant?
The Economist Newport, PAJuly 11, 2013 12:08 p.m.
I've been in a few groups that have intimately discussed pornography use. We always come to the conclusion that as men, we are more visually stimulated. Pornography, through history, seems to fill a deep desire in a man for that visual stimulation. Cowboys used to pay more for a picture of a naked lady than they would for actual sex with a prostitute. Visual stimulation seems to do something to us men, more so than women. When men are in relationships and look at porn, are they threatening their spouses? Are they betraying them? Are hostile spouses realizing the desire in their male partners to be visually stimulated? Should a spouse feel they are the only object of beauty that a male partner should look at. I realize as a man that I don't have God's gift to women when it comes to my body. Are women really being honest about their bodies? I'm not trying to make a case for pornograpy. I'm playing devil's advocate.
9MM Murray, UTJuly 11, 2013 10:03 a.m.
Thank you Deseret News for the great articles.
This world is full of dangers, physical and spiritual.
Most often, we as a general population, do not recognize many of these dangers, and their consequences. It is also sad that many of us are still in denial of several known dangers.
I know how dangerous this stuff is, the destructive wake sends ripples through our homes, communities, and society at large, more destructive than any terrorist plot.
I for one am grateful to know there is a prophet on the earth, endowed with authority and power, who does speak the mind and will of God. And what he says is very much what God wants me to do. It was so anciently, and certainly is so today.
We must embrace what builds home and community, and turn away what will destroy.
Austin Coug Pflugerville, TXJuly 10, 2013 11:01 p.m.
LA Mormon,
Young women asking boyfriends about their porn use is certainly a very valid question. I am sure a lot of married women wish they would have known the answer to that question as well. Unfortunately, many men will lie about their use (especially if they are religious or have been hiding it anyway). As a father, i would want my daughter to stay far away with someone who is going to bring pornography into the marriage. I am just not familiar with any happy stories from wives who are grateful for their husbands porn use. The negative stories should be enough to make anyone wary.
Alfred Pheonix, AZJuly 10, 2013 9:03 p.m.
The two (fictitious) women in this article are distraught and upset simply because they lost the power to call the sexual shots re their spouses. Nothing more and nothing less.
Kings Court Alpine, UTJuly 10, 2013 8:10 p.m.
I wonder if they will share a story about how women viewing porn can affect her husband or how porn viewing affects children or teenagers. These porn-obsessed articles really are biased against men and make them all look like bad people.
CHS 85 Sandy, UTJuly 10, 2013 7:40 p.m.
Thanks for this series of articles about porn and it's evils. I also thank you for the dozens of previous articles published in the past year on the exact same subject.
We get it.
I don't view porn, but also don't believe it is possible to ban or completely prohibit it in our society.
How about some investigative journalism now? Is the Deseret NEWS a NEWSpaper or a magazine?
Walt Nicholes Orem, UTJuly 10, 2013 6:18 p.m.
I just can't wait until the Deseret News runs a series of articles like this on people with eating disorders, or weight control issues. Or a series about how spending (not only a wife issue) breaks up marriages.
I note a tendency to hold men's feet to the fire in these articles, but no examples of the many couples (and there are many) where the female is the addict.
Attack men: politically acceptable. Attack women: politically unacceptable.
Alfred Pheonix, AZJuly 10, 2013 5:56 p.m.
@From Ted's Head:
"Look for the root causes."
You've identified the root causes in your 10:35 am post. Let me try to summarize.
The female has a propensity to exhibit their bodies for attention as Mother Nature seems to dictate. That includes enhancing the body's shape, dolling up the face with lipstick and rouge, and exposing as much skin as they can get away with (note how female cleavage and short-short dresses). Many are not satisfied with that, desire more attention from the viewer (mostly men) and start taking their duds off for the camera or in private clubs. Of course, men catch heck for indulging while the ladies get off scott free. Did I get it right, Ted?
Shimlau SAINT GEORGE, UTJuly 10, 2013 5:12 p.m.
thinkman; I believe the subject of these articles was 'addiction' that would presuppose that it was more frequent than "occasionally". and if you haven't lived through that kind of emotional trauma, how can you judge her thoughts. she didn't act upon them so she isn't a murderer. I'm pretty sure that in your life, you may have had such impure thoughts. also. Who might you be quoting in the last sentence of your comment? excluding the "How pathetic." I've served in some of the positions that you are obviously refering to and I never told any one that. Also, if you think that the LDS are cavalier in their attitudes towards marriage, you are mistaken. It is because we feel that marriage is a sacred covenant, that the violation of that covenant is taken so seriously. these actions destroy marriage and families just as surely as physical abuse can and does.

Brahma Bull-My definition of "prophet" is that his words are from God. Therefore, if the prophet says it, I do my best to follow!!
Wee One Santa Monica, CAJuly 10, 2013 4:31 p.m.
Not very long ago Jeffrey R. Holland gave a talk in General Conference and told the story about being in an airport with his wife Patricia when several women approached them knowing who he was/is a General Authority. During their meeting, all three women acknowledged they were all divorced due to having spouses that were involved in pornography. They pleaded with him to warn men of the church about the fallout that is caused by this carefully orchestrated addiction which is under the direction of the Adversary. It was quite a talk and if we think this mist of darkness has not spread, we are truly fooling ourselves. I am very proud to belong to a church that offers Addiction/Recovery meetings held each week for those addicted as well as a support group for spouses and families of those addicted. It is true that everywhere you turn it seems there is something being advertised with a sexual innuendo in it but we have the power to turn it off and not to look. My heart goes out to these men/women who are trying to overcome this addiction.
SomeClarityPlease Quiet Neighborhood, UTJuly 10, 2013 4:01 p.m.
This was a nice series of articles produced by The Deseret News. Thank you. It would also be very informative to read a series about people that have little to no interest in sex compared to their spouse and discuss what can be done to help them.
Chris B Salt Lake City, UTJuly 10, 2013 3:57 p.m.
God has never said pornography is wrong.
And if you throw out something a "prophet" said, remember that unless 100% of everything that "prophet" and all other "prophets" said has proven true, that person obviously isn't a prophet after all.
LA Mormon West Valley, UTJuly 10, 2013 2:55 p.m.
This is an interesting article. You can add pornography to the list of things to find out about before you marry someone. There are many things people should be talking about before marriage. They should be talking about their financial health with each other, their physical and emotional health with each other. Also the topic of the amount of children should come up and then this. If a man enjoys porn he should probably disclose that to his potential partner as well before marriage vows are taken.
But realizing that talking about all of these subjects before marriage is taboo in our society often times people do not really know the person they are marrying very well and it sets them up for future heartache and disaster. Ladies if your man is telling you that he doesn't look at porn you have to question his honesty. 86% of college students have looked at it according to this article. That means you may need to ask a different question before marriage. Where is your porn collection and how often do you look at it is a good starting point. It is time to get real about our relationships.
Heidi T. Farmington, UTJuly 10, 2013 2:50 p.m.
Thank you for this series of articles.
Thinkman Provo, UTJuly 10, 2013 2:18 p.m.
It is terrible that "Megan" wanted her husband "Tom" to die because he occasionally viewed porn.
Which is worse? Viewing porn occasionally or committing murder in your mind.
As for me and my house, we won't wish anyone to die, most especially a family member and more so a spouse.
Once again, I am stunned at how LDS church members and even leaders treat marriage with a cavalier attitude.
"Has your husband viewed porn occasionally? Does he still love you and provide for you and your children? Well the porn viewing is akin to being a murderer and you therefore better divorce him."
How pathetic.
SoCalChris Riverside, CAJuly 10, 2013 2:11 p.m.
The term sex object is a cliche that is not entirely accurate in my book. Guys don't get excited about objects (unless they're a little strange and find underwear or high heels a turn-on for some odd reason). Men are by nature attracted to the female form. As I see it indulging in lustful thoughts and images causes a release of endorphins which can become addictive like a drug addiction.
I am a believer that a positive approach is better than a negative one. When I became active in the LDS Church in high school it was because I saw all the positives, the beautiful and glorious things about the Gospel. I doubt I would have ever become active if I had been constantly subjected to -- you can't do this, this is bad, you must do this and not do this or else . . .
An addict should take up more positive uplifting, fulfilling activities, like exercise, reading and develop more faith. It isn't helpful for the addict or the spouse to overreact IMO. I believe Elder Packer's advise is applicable: Preoccupation with unworthy behavior can lead to unworthy behavior. Replace bad stuff with good stuff.
patriot Cedar Hills, UTJuly 10, 2013 1:19 p.m.
Porn destroys ...no question and those who find themselves involved in it several hours per day are going to reap the terrible consequences. I have to shake my head however at so many people who rightly condemn porn yet the TV drama shows that they watch portray adultery, fornication, and other sexual vises as normal and even glamorous. Throw in a heavy dose of dirty jokes and scantly dressed women and what do you have....soft porn? I guess it is ok if it is shown on network TV is that it? Holy cow take a look at the magazines at the local Wallmart checkout isle and you will find alot of pretty scantly dressed women. The point is our society as a whole has accepted a lowered moral standard and it is pretty much everywhere....impossible to avoid it unless you live in a cave. The REAL issue here is what do you do with your time? It is important to avoid even the appearance of evil ...the best you can... but even better is to fill your days with good things ...get off the couch and exercise for starters.
patriot Cedar Hills, UTJuly 10, 2013 1:04 p.m.
there is a two word phrase that solves so many many problems in life - "STOP IT". Yes STOP IT. I can understand tobacco or alcohol or drug addiction because these are chemical addictions that you can't just stop on your own but I really have a hard time believing you would somehow have some sort of reaction by just changing your viewing habits. If you found yourself somehow in a third world country without internet or tv or even printed media what then? Would you somehow lapse into a comma because you couldn't view your porn? This is nonsense. Just stop it. I have seen people become so involved in politics that they can't seem to go a day without their daily dose of news and internet political debate...but they can ...they just need to find other things that occupy their time. An addiction is something you can't stop ...as hard as you try you can't stop...and if you do your body goes into some sort of dangerous withdrawal that in itself may be life threatening.
From Ted's Head Orem, UTJuly 10, 2013 11:29 a.m.
12 step programs can be a good start, I guess. A challenge with trying to eliminate "triggers" is that we are bombarded in society with images that are designed to evoke a sexual response, and let's not forget the real people. Triggering one's sexual interest doesn't require a picture but can occur anytime, often via memory, too.
BKB Chantilly/USA, 00July 10, 2013 11:22 a.m.
Having helped many people overcome pornography viewing problems (I'm deliberately not referring to it as addiction. Addiction has too many definitions when it comes to porn. Someone who has a pornography viewing problem espouses values that state the viewing is wrong yet they do it anyway, maybe daily or maybe just weekly or monthly), I've seen what works and what doesn't. Here is my take on it:
Those who persist in porn viewing for whatever reason, suffer the consequences without exception (but not without denial). The consequences are universally negative, impacting self and family to a great extent. Do some research if you're skeptical--and you don't have to rely upon studies done in the 80s to see the negative consequences associated with porn viewing.
12-step programs work but relapse is expected and occurs with most of them. When one tries to avoid triggers in our modern society, they fail. Relying upon self-discipline does not work. What does?
Cognitive Behavioral programs such as Power Over Pornography work better than 12-step programs in my opinion but combining 12-steps with CB seems to work best, especially at avoiding relapse.
Brahmabull sandy, utJuly 10, 2013 11:16 a.m.
Althought the advice of your prophet to avoid pornography is sound, it is only his opinion. Remember, when a prophet speaks it isn't donctrine, it is opinion. The advice is good but isn't binding. I have heard of many other people who say the same thing, and it doesn't make them prophets.
From Ted's Head Orem, UTJuly 10, 2013 10:54 a.m.
Let me address the whole "The Prophet says it's wrong" attitude: true...and for a portion of the population, that's all that's required. Let's call them the "safe" group.
Oh my! Look! There's a large portion of the population who are wandering in the mists and are in danger! What shall we do?!?
How about shouting to them and letting them know that they are lost; struggling; less-than-perfect? That'll work, won't it?
Nope...that just tells them how much "better" you are than they are.
Recently, the LDS Church has started using the word "rescue", much like Christ leaving the 99 and going after the 1, although the percentage of "lost" sheep today is much higher. Stories of young men helping handcart companies at the expense of their own lives. What we can learn from this is that merely telling someone to save themselves isn't enough. We need to make an effort to reach them, to speak to where they are and not where we think they should be.
Painting all porn users as addicts doesn't help anyone. Look for the root causes. Give them solutions. Stop judging.
wrz Pheonix, AZJuly 10, 2013 10:46 a.m.
"So, I guess you guys who have posted agree it is OK to turn humans into objects to satisfy your appetites."
Did it not occur to you, jeannie, that if the female sex would stop doffing their duds and sitting in front of a camera there'd be little or no pron?
As a typical female, you think you can do whatever you want, blaming the other 'guys' for porn.
From Ted's Head Orem, UTJuly 10, 2013 10:35 a.m.
@jeanie Chicken and the egg when it comes down to it. Women adorn themselves to attract male attention and then complain when men look at them? High heels to lengthen the legs and lift the rump? Push-up bras to make the breasts look larger and firmer? Attire that accentuates the female form; make-up to enhance eyes and lips and cover facial blemishes. All the while complaining that men objectify women? We are trained from our youth to appreciate the female form devoid of any relationship with the person. Does that training gets shut off at the altar? Controlled, perhaps; focused, hopefully. I'm assuming that you are female and all the education and empathy in the world can't make you fully understand the male psyche and sex drive any more that a man can fully understand a woman and her perspective. Do men generally look at women as sexual objects? Absolutely! And thank God we do else there wouldn't be any continuation of the species. The objectification argument has as much validity as the gold digger argument of the woman seeking a good provider for her offspring. Sex and money...fundamentals of the male-female dynamic.
Red Salt Lake City, UTJuly 10, 2013 9:56 a.m.
The Prophet has said to "avoid Pornography like the Plague".
Thats pretty clear.
You can follow the Prophet or not.
As for me and my house we are going to follow the Prophet.
jeanie orem, UTJuly 10, 2013 9:43 a.m.
So, I guess you guys who have posted agree it is ok to turn humans into objects to satisfy your appetites. "Average Joes" are using people just as much as addicts are. The only difference is frequency, and Ted, your description of women is telling.
From Ted's Head Orem, UTJuly 10, 2013 9:09 a.m.
One of the challenges facing those seeking to eradicate porn from our society is that they bring up the worst offenders, the addicts, who are but a small percentage of those who look at naked people for kicks. The addicts used to order smut via the mail or go to sleazy theaters to indulge their habit. There will always be addicts regardless of what society sets as standards of appropriate behavior. Your Average Joe just isn't going there or spending 11 hours a week looking at naked chicks.
I almost laughed when I saw the 1988 pre-internet era study and the usage of the undefined term "mainstream porn." C'mon folks! We're back to the sleazy theaters and mail order and as they reference "film" it seems that their mainstream porn doesn't include the casual, occasional girlie magazine type of porn.
The comment that "it isn't about the sex" is certainly aimed at the addicts and not Average Joe. Notice how there is no info about these couples' sex lives. Your Average Joe isn't having sex often enough (blame the Feminists, American Princesses, and clueless LDS wives) and turns elsewhere to take care of his needs.
KJB1 Eugene, ORJuly 10, 2013 8:21 a.m.
Meanwhile, studies show that a third of the porn viewing online is done by women, but that doesn't fit your narrative, does it? Neither does the fact that many couples also do their viewing together.
Can porn be abused? Absolutely, but so can food, drink, exercise, or even religion. Having a glass of wine with dinner doesn't make you an alcoholic, though, and the vast majority of the people who view porn do it responsibility. As well-intentioned as these articles are, all they do is just preach to the choir. To everybody else, they just look paranoid and over the top.

Climate control from Nike Golf
When the weather goes south and you want to keep your game in prime condition there's no better protection than that offered by Nike Golf's technologically-advanced outerwear.
Designed to keep its wearers warm, dry and swinging in comfort long after their rivals have headed back to the shelter of the clubhouse, Nike Golf's 2009 Autumn/Winter collection draws upon the company's range of innovative fabric technology, NikeFIT, Functional Innovative Technology, to protect golfers from the elements.
Just as NIKE-AIR technology revolutionised the athletic footwear industry, NikeFIT fabrics have changed the performance characteristics of golf clothing.
NikeFIT is a group of four fabrics that has been designed to work together or be worn alone, allowing you to layer up or down according to the conditions.
DRI-FIT - Keeps you cool or warm, but always dry
If you're playing in the depths of winter, and the greens have barely thawed, then you'd need something to keep you warm without bringing you out in a sweat. The answer is Dri-FIT, a microfibre which works to keep you comfortable by transporting perspiration from your skin to the outside for rapid evaporation. As moisture is produced by the body, it moves quickly through the first hydrophobic layer of the Dri-FIT garment. This layer neither absorbs nor slows down the moisture; instead, it acts as a pump, delivering the moisture to a second hydrophylic layer, which disperses the moisture across the outer surface for rapid evaporation. Dri-FIT fabric - lightweight, breathable comfort.
THERMA-FIT - A blanket for your body
To add an extra insulating layer, without bulking up, golfers can turn to the sleeping bag-like qualities offered by Therma-FIT. Offering exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio, the tight weave of Therma-FIT fleece works like a microfibre blanket - making it extremely warm, yet light and comfortable. It dries quickly, compresses easily and has the soft feel of cashmere - thin, warm, light and stretchy.
CLIMA-FIT - Breathable protection from the elements
If a chill wind gets up, and is cutting through to your bones, a Clima-FIT layer will keep the elements at bay. ClimaFIT is a microfibre that resists rain, wind and snow, while allowing excess body heat and perspiration to escape. Protective, lightweight and extremely breathable, ClimaFIT allows for the efficient passage of moisture vapour to keep you comfortable while resisting outside moisture. The result is a truly lightweight, water-resistant fabric with outstanding breathability and a soft, supple feel.
STORM-FIT - Superior Waterproof Protection
And when the heavens open, as they have a habit of doing, the final defence line is
Storm-FIT, which offers the ultimate in wet weather protection, with its seam-sealed, breathable fabric completely blocking wind and rain penetration from up to 20,000mm of water pressure. Yet its also incredibly soft, supple, making for silent swings and increased comfort.
Whatever your needs, NikeFIT fabrics have a solution.
The 2009 Outwear Range, which features NikeFIT technology, comprises jackets, pullovers, trousers, vests and rainsuits, for women and men as well as kids, all of which set the industry standard for comfortable and functional apparel, while offering a range of eye-catching and fashionable colour palettes.
So, if you want to stay warm and dry, while stepping out in comfort and style this autumn, check out some of the key pieces in the new range below, all of which go on sale at selected pro shops and retail outlets from July 1, 2009.

Innov8tiv – Blacks In Technology in USA, UK, Caribbean Islands & Africa
S&T Media, a Nigeria-based advertisement company that runs AdPump, a digital network running ads targeting consumers going to refuel at the gas stations in Nigeria has secured $1 million seed funding from EchoVC Partners.
These funds will go towards expanding S&T Media network and offering across Nigeria as well as up the ante on their current markets and acquire new hardware and staff.
"Since inception we wanted to create platforms that can give brands the location-based reach they crave in a more efficient and targeted manner," said Tolu Roberts, S&T Media co-founder.
"Securing institutional funding with the right investor has allowed us to accelerate that vision, as we rapidly develop and install platforms that connect brands with digitally-captivated consumers."
Currently, AdPump has about 160 screens installed in about 17 gas stations around Lagos. It also has secured exclusive distribution deals with some Nigerian gas station companies like Total Plc, Oando Plc, and Forte Oil that account for a total of 1,000 stations countrywide.
AdPump's key clients include GT Bank, Mall for Africa, Jumia, Etisalat, House on the Rock and Smile …read more

Members of the Red Rock Indian Band once lived in different locations on and around Lake Nipigon. Historically, members are known to have lived at Jackfish Island, Gull Bay, and McIntyre Bay (English Mission Church) also called Grand Bay.
The Indian reserves are approximately 100 km northeast of the city of Thunder Bay and 2 km east of Nipigon. The total area covered by the two reserves is approximately 950 acres (3.8 km2). This site is also the location of Saint Sylvesters Church. St. Sylvester's Church was built in 1877, which was a Jesuit Mission. The first recorded burial was October 3rd 1880. The grave yard is adjacent to the church and people are still buried there regularly. Although a historical landmark, the Church is no longer used as the building structure is unsafe. The Red Rock Indian Band is located within the 1850 Robinson Superior Treaty area. Band members use the Parmachene area regularly, for fishing, berry picking, hunting, trapping, gathering of medicinal plants, camping, and participate in traditional ceremonies. Blueberry picking in particular is enjoyed by many Red Rock Indian Band members.. The Lake Helen Reserve 53A is the main community located on the shores of Lake Helen.
Al Hackner, 2-time world curling champion, is a member of Red Rock Indian Band.
The traditional Ojibwe name for the band is Opwaaganasiniing which means pipestone in the locative voice.

The Curious City of Fort Wayne
1) The streets flood within seconds. I am not even joking here. Seconds. I have oftentimes thought that Fort Wayne would be better off as a paddy field.
2) It is not safe to drive in the outermost lanes, because at any given moment they WILL turn into turn-only lanes. I will never forget when an old lady in church said that she wasn't afraid of anything...except for when the lanes become turn-only lanes and you don't have enough time to correct the problem.
3) Give the people of Fort Wayne a reason to bust out their lawn chairs, and they'll come in droves. DROVES. It could be the hottest day ever recorded on the face of the planet, and there they'll be, dragging their super-sleek chair-in-a-bag out to the middle of a grassy knoll to watch some old guys play Beach Boys covers.
4) They named their baseball team the Tin Caps, seemingly oblivious to the obvious nickname of the Pot Heads.
5) There is a Mexican restaurant on every block.
6) During the summer, there is a festival every week. I kid you not. Greek Fest, Latin Fest, Rib Fest, German Fest, Three Rivers Festival, etc.
7) The people of Fort Wayne rallied against spending millions of taxpayer dollars to fix up dilapidated schools and instead decided to build the ultimate minor league baseball stadium.
8) From the baseball stadium, the city looks unAmerican. Maybe Balkan. Or Russian. And there is a particular apartment building by the Anthony St. Wal-Mart that looks like it was hauled over here from Somalia.
9) There is only one true housing project that I know of. Only one. I am used to three or more.
10) Everyone blows red lights. A cop could be right there, waiting for his light to turn green and I guarantee someone will blow through the red without getting pulled over.
. . . And to think I got my license suspended for being rear-ended.

#3 -- Three Rivers Festival parade, there was a little old lady sitting in her lawn chair, waiting, at 4 in the morning.ReplyDelete
#6 -- You say that like it's a bad thing...
#8 -- Wow, there is a bit of an Eastern European feel, isn't there.
you forgot #11 and #12 .ReplyDelete
#11. Fort Wayne had the best school for the happening people. Infact if we all didnt go there Fort Wayne would suck.
#12.In fort Wayne you met the best people ever from ALL OVER THE PLACE one from Colorado, one in Minnesota, One from California (who stupidly lives in IL) and lots from Defiance Ohio. :) I miss you guys.....
- AnonymousOctober 1, 2009 at 7:04 AM
As far as #7 goes, you have to understand--most of the Fort Wayne residents did not want the stadium. We were happy with our old stadium. The city government doesn't really care what we say (or else they would be tearing the prettiest part of Ft. Wayne up as I speak.)ReplyDelete
Other than that, your super-accurate comments made me laugh hysterically.
-Katie Shappell
Katie - thank you for sharing about the old woman. It made my day.ReplyDelete
Katie Shappell - I agree wholeheartedly...the government here calls the shots and only turns to the people of fort wayne for direction when they need to rely on us to vote DOWN ideas. It's just so silly, when you stop to think that the city denied better schools and instead spent a zillion dollars on entertainment. So so silly.
Glad I could make you laugh!
- cassie oOctober 2, 2009 at 10:47 PM
in relation to #2, you forgot to note that streets also change names randomly (multiple times for some of them) and also have a habit of becoming one-way streets, just out of the blue ... and only for a few blocksReplyDelete
stupid fort wayne.

Couple points.
I look at this project as a huge development project. From what I have heard 200 million dollar investement, infrastructure improvements, jobs, 6 Million dollars per year in taxes etc. Actually I supported a proposed project 5 or 6 years ago for this very parcel, when they wanted to make it into a mixed use and needed a zone change. The zone change was denied.
If we could get Google to come to this parcel and make us a Google Fiber City (John Carnegie) , I woud support it over a slot parlor in a second. To the people who have said to me, something along the lines that I live in Holden and how would I like it in my town.
I would whole heartedly support this!!! In fact I would urge the Town Manager to contact them and roll out the red carpet.

The First Noel, the Angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
And by the light of that same star
Three Wise men came from country far
To seek for a King was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
This star drew nigh to the northwest
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both Pause and stay
Right o'er the place where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
Then entered in those Wise men three
Full reverently upon their knee
And offered there in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made Heaven and earth of nought
And with his blood mankind has bought.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
Don't you just love to sing all the christmas caroles you knew since you were a child when the BER months are here? We were at KFC earlier [Abi, Abhi, Zelot, Gay, Gen, Allan and I] having lunch when the BER though has been the topic. Everyone shared how they feel and how they see the Season. I told them that we already have started to decorate our home with lots of garlands, shining balls, angels, nativity and the ever famous christmas tree.
I noticed last week that a lot of malls are on sale. Most of them are having new stocks for the Yuletide Season. Wishlists, presents, parties and smiles will fill the air on the holiday. That's why Christmas is my favorite holiday of all holidays!
Time for me to start listing down my "inaanaks" and their gifts for December. I will opt to do it early to avoid the Christmas rush and traffic. Not to mention the price increase on the coming months.
And I can't believe the month of August is already over. It's like the year is almost gone once you get to the "-ber" months: September, October, November and December. Before you know it, 2008 will be over and we will be ushering in the year 2009. Scary!
Since Christmas is my fave holidays and event, there are a lot of things I love when it's the month of December:
- Amihan sa probinsiya namin [North Easterly wind]
- Kapeng Barako [Batangas Roasted Coffe Beans]
- Puto bumbong [sweet taro steamed in small bamboo tubes]
- Simbang gabi at Misa de Gallo [Dawn and Midnight Masses]
- Christmas decorations everywhere
- Gifts! [my wishlist]
- Christmas caroles
- Bonding time with the family
- The aura is different. It's more serene, peaceful and cheery [minus the traffic jam]
- Christmas parties
- Baste 98's annual get-together
I really heart christmas! Hmm.. I wonder where are we going to celebrate it this year?
