Holy Moly
Nearly a year ago, a new mole appeared in the small of my back and even with two mirrors, I couldn't get a good look at it so I finally went to see my dermatologist. To be precise, I went to the office of my dermatologist, whom I have not actually seen in years except in passing as he spends most of his time performing expensive cosmetic procedures while those with unexciting medical issues are relegated to his Physician's Assistant. I have never had a problem with that as she was a lovely young woman who did my yearly skin cancer check and always had time to answer questions.
Unfortunately (for me) she recently married and moved to the east coast so I saw her replacement, a young, good looking man who seemed to have more important things to do. He quickly appraised my new mole, pronounced it harmless and managed to call me "honey," "dear" and "sweetheart" several times in the five minutes he spent with me. I also asked him if an itchy, bleeding rash on both arms was eczema and he said it was, and that I must not be applying body lotion very often. Guilty as charged. He didn't offer to do my yearly checkup which was a relief because I didn't want to bare my body to him anyway.
I had noticed that the waiting room was full of elderly people as well as a couple of women probably there for Botox in their facelifts, and wondered if Wednesday was Over-60 Day. Do older women like to be called endearments by brash young men they don't know? Does it make them feel young, attractive and flirtatious again? Well, I do not. To say it rings of insincerity does not do it justice -- it clangs. It feels demeaning and condescending. I am not stuffy enough to demand that he address me as Mrs. P_, but my first name will do fine. It should be noted that if I do not introduce myself as "Honey" or "Sweetheart," I do not want to be called such things. What's next, Honey Boo Boo Second Childhood? I think the crux of my displeasure is my suspicion that I'm being lumped together with those REALLY old patients, and that if I were still young he would not call me such things because it would be sexual harassment. Do they assume that a woman past sixty is also beyond having a sexual identity? Or do they merely believe that we are all so silly and starved for attention that we welcome it in any form?
I am looking for a new dermatologist. Dr. X is impressive, but if I am not going to see him personally because my needs are medical, not cosmetic (which pays more, cash on the barrelhead,) I may as well find someone whose staff practices respect. I considered whether I might be finding fault because I'm disappointed that the PA's predecessor is gone but decided I do, indeed, have a legitimate complaint. I thought of mentioning my concerns to the doctor, but that would be awkward if I saw his assistant again. Also, I think the doctor himself has addressed me by endearments in the past, but in his case it seemed to be a sign of genuine affection. Maybe he's a better actor. And he's older. But I've always had the feeling that we liked each other, and he made a point of seeing Flip personally long after I was passed on to his former PA, so I cut him slack. Perhaps the new assistant is modeling himself after his boss and mentor, but he has not earned the right to such familiarity. Maybe I'm making mountains out of molehills, but if I'm uncomfortable and do nothing about it, I am conspiring to be treated without respect. And that is never good for anyone. We teach others how to treat us by what we will or won't tolerate, and if we are paying attention they return the favor. It's kind of like having a manual. Or a personal Bill of Rights.
I am still brooding, however.

I take issue with folks, strangers who take such liberties as to be so familiar, especially in the "honey, dear, sweetie" sort of way.
- English Rider said...
I know you can do sarcasm: bewildered head-turning, followed by "Who are you talking to, Stud-muffin?"
Good to see you around again.
- Cro Magnon said...
I think you should continue to use him, and the next time he calls you 'My lovely', just ask if he wouldn't mind referring to you as X (X, of course, being whatever you would prefer). I'm sure he'd take note, and maybe feel a tiny bit guilty.
- Molly said...
Susan, you're back! Lovely to see you here again. I've been missing your posts and see that you are as on the ball as ever....One of my pet peeves too. If I want a stranger to call me Sweetie or Honey I'll let them know. Meanwhile I wouldn't advise them to hold their breath! I do hope you get that mole (as cute as he looks in the photo)seen to though....

My story is the opposite. The day after I was in a rollover accident I had tremendous neck pain. My regular PCP was on her honeymoon so I saw the PA, who felt around was not condescending but concerned. She went to the son of a bitch who owned the practice and told him flat out I needed an MRI.
Without even coming into the room he said I needed 6 weeks of physical therapy. So she couldn't overrule him and wrote the order for a man who had two fractured vertebrae to go to PT.
Making excruciating pain even more so.
When I finally got the MRI and all of the other "pay me tests" done the bones had started to heal misaligned and they were to close to the jugular to re-fracture and fix.
I stayed with my doctor but every time that bastard saw me coming down the hall either in the office or the hospital he actually hid from me. Then sold his practice to my PCP and her partner, I know this is off track for years I wanted to open a can of whoop ass on him and at least break a few of his fingers(no I never did)
But that was the last time I ever took any shit from any doctor, I trust my pcp. She biopsied & diagnosed my skin cancer and got it taken care of.
That was 11 years ago and to this day I have never called anyone of the many so called doctors, I have seen, doctor.
They have a name too and their first name is not Doctor, anyone who gave me "the how dare you use my first name was fired by me, and not paid because no services were rendered. And anyone that double or triple booked an appointment had no more than 15 minutes from the time I walked in the door until the time I was in the room. 16 minutes and I was out the door..again no pay for no services rendered. I won ever dispute.
As to the condescending nature of this kid, kick him in the ass one time and he'll get his shit together or just fire him, refuse to see him tell the old doctor why and let him know you will fire him too if he can't find better customer service oriented staff.
Needless to say I have zip for respect for the DRs. It took me 28 years of non stop pain and enduring 25 years of their misdiagnosis and screw ups before I realized that what I once did was a craft and profession, repairing cars and trucks and what they do is rightly called a PRACTICE.
Susan you have every right to be offended if your were offended and if I were you I would make a complaint in no uncertain terms especially as you had been seeing this practitioner for a number of years sweety.
- Leight said...
It sounds like time to get a new skin doc that isn't so cosmetically popular. You definitely will have to bare your chest sometime for this honied PA. Maybe find a female since they usually like female assistants. (BTW, my skin doc's office is now full of older patients, too. Perhaps it is an increase in facial skin cancers that is just now arriving in the bay area. I can't stand wearing sun screen. Better start.)
- heartinsanfrancisco said...
OD, Glad I'm not the only one.
ER, Thank you! It's good to be around again.
Cro Magnon, Well and good, but I'm not really comfortable with him anyway, much as I like the doctor.
Molly, I've missed you, too. His studied endearments just felt like he thought he was doing me a favor, to which I say a resounding "No, thanks."
Mark, You've had quite a serious medical history, haven't you? What you describe is clearly malpractice, and illustrates the root cause of our health system's deterioration: Medical decisions are made by insurance people, not medical people, and our health is being sacrificed, sometimes tragically, in service to the dollar. I'm glad you have an arrangement that you trust and that fills your needs now. Everyone should.
I'm not going back there. It's not worth it since my concerns are not worthy of seeing Dr. X anyway. I supposed that's a good thing because I'm sure if I had skin cancer he would see me personally. But he is raking in big bucks on cosmetic stuff for the highly overprivileged and probably has minimal interest in actual medicine now.
Leight, I agree. I had yearly skin checks with the former PA, who was female and also a lovely person. That would be my preference, just as I prefer female gynecologists. I certainly don't want to be examined by a young twerp who calls me "honey."
I do wear sunscreen. I did a lot of tanning for many years as I look so much better with darker skin, but melanoma is not on my to-do list, and sun exposure is also very aging.
Are you in the Bay area too?
- Secret Agent Woman said...
As you know, in my neck of the woods many people routinely call everyone else by endearments, so it would be meaningless. But I know that's not true on California, so I think I'd be bothered by it, too. And unless a physician wants to call me by my title, I go with first names.
Endearments aside, I do not want to see a PA when I'm paying to see a physician. I saw a dermatologist (the real guy, not a PA) a year or so ago for what I feared might be cancerous. He was very young and a little unsettlingly cute. But also thorough, polite and friendly in a professional way. I would definitely go back to him. MY OB-GYN referred me to him when I asked her for the name of someone gentle.
- heartinsanfrancisco said...
It didn't strike me as the kind of endearments so common in the South. It seemed supercillious, not springing naturally from ones culture.
My preference, all things being equal, is for a female gyn, but if the best one is male that's fine.
Several years ago I realized that I had never met my gyn of record, the one to whom test results were sent, as I always saw her nurse-practitioner. I thought we should meet so I asked to see one of the doctors next time. She was clearly enraged at my nerviness and so rough that she hurt me during the exam. Needless to say, I never went back. When I told my primary care doctor (who insists all his patients call him by his first name,) he said, "She's a bitch. I never send anyone to her."
- Paula said...
It's so good to read your writing again, Susan. I don't blame you one bit for leaving any doctor who makes you uncomfortable.
It's true that here in the South, many people use endearments with friends or well known customers. Trust me, it is NOT common for a doctor to speak this way to a patient, especially one who is a stranger. It would make me uncomfortable, too. Any specialty that requires a degree of intimacy also requires the utmost professionalism.
- Claudia said...
If you feel uncomfortable, you feel uncomfortable - end of story. You don't have to justify feeling uncomfortable. You didn't like it when the PA called you those names. It made you uncomfortable. Period. If you feel like you need to tell your doctor, I'd say, "I was uncomfortable with that PA."
Of course, you're much more polite than me. I would have said, "don't call me honey," in my best Scarlet O'Hara. Of course, I used to walk by that graffiti every day when I lived in Berkeley. Maybe it just sunk in.
- la cartonaria said...
Hear, hear! It may be old fashioned, but I resent endearments from strangers (except when they call you 'luv' in the UK), & I'm not entirely comfortable being addressed by my first name by an adolescent bank teller who I've never seen before & who wants to know about my plans for the weekend. In fact I get a little huffy. My mother's lessons in deportment & etiquette must have sunk in after all. AND THEN there's the whole subject of professionalism...I too would write a letter. Let them know you were displeased. There can't be any change in behavior unless they understand it's offensive. Glad you're back!
- Brown said...
I work in the medical field, and don't use those terms until there has been some familiarity established.
I must admit though, I did learn the hard way. I can't remember which one slipped my tongue that day, "hun" or "sweetie", but the patient quickly told me that it was unprofessional and would prefer to be called by her name.
I understood, after all, it was my fault, but I'm glad she brought it to my attention.
Don't read too much into it, he's just trying to build a rapport and is simply used to saying it. He probably isn't even aware. If he's a good doctor, just tell him how you feel and let it go. Otherwise, go with your gut and find someone with whom you're more comfortable.
- heartinsanfrancisco said...
The former PA always called me by my first name and I called her by hers. I was comfortable with that.
Thank you for checking up on me during my absence. I appreciated it so much.
I didn't feel that I needed to justify my feelings of discomfort. Feelings just are. But I was exploring why I felt that way. And yes, Berkeley changes people forever.
La Cartonaria,
Thank you! I'm glad to be back. The office receptionist is going to call me to make an appointment for my annual skin check in August, so I'll have an opportunity to tell her I'm not returning without writing a letter to the doctor. Meanwhile I'm researching another dermatologist.
I don't think I like this PA much anyway. He seemed to be in a hurry and if I'm not going to see the actual doctor anyway, I can find someone much closer to home as this office is across San Francisco Bay.
- nick said...
Hi! It's good to hear from you again. I kept wondering how you were getting on. Yes, I would be looking for a new dermatologist as well. If he seems preoccupied, brusque and pours endearments all over you, plus you feel generally uncomfortable, I would definitely not go back. I mean, feminists have been complaining about uncalled-for endearments for what, fifty years?? And I hope he's right that the mole is harmless. Perhaps a second opinion would be useful?
It's a sorry state of affairs that so many doctors are more interested in cash-spinning and mostly unnecessary cosmetic surgery than they are in straightforward medical care.
- riseoutofme said...
Well sweetie, so nice of you to drop by! Here in this country you know you're for the high jump when they start calling you "dearie"... My usual response is "no thank you I really don't feel like a beery at the moment but do call me" ... Hope the mole disappears down a hole for you ...
- riseoutofme said...
So nice of you to drop by honey pie! Here in this country you know your for the high jump when they start calling you "dearie" ...My usual response is "no I would'nt actually like a beer at the moment but do call me" ... Perplexed looks and psych consultations hover ... but we're immune right? Great to have us back ...
- Murr Brewster said...
Any guy in that position who calls me Honey, I call him Sugarpants. None of it really bothers me, but I won't be sixty till later this year.
What I hate is when I go in to the dermatologist about precancerous lesions and they offer to "do something" about my cheek fuzz.
- Ian Lidster said...
Firstly, dear Susan, may I apologize for not having been by in a while. I haven't done anywhere near enough touring to the domiciles of valued blogger friends like you.
Endearments directed at older women, hmm. what if the endearment comes from an old crock like I am? The English are great for that and elderly women are regularly called dear, darlin' and luv by virtually all males. What galls me is young female bank clerks calling me by my first name especially if we've never met before.
- meno said...
Susan. Susan. Hearing your voice again is like a breath of real air. I am sorry that i was not here to offer long distance support when you lost Flip. I was not capable.
At a certain age, we women become a blur of uninteresting for some people. We don't need those people in our lives.
- heartinsanfrancisco said...
It does seem extremely retro to be dealing with unwelcome generic endearments at this point in time. And he wasn't even the doctor, but a Physician's Assistant.
So happy to see you back after a long hiatus, too. I'm trying to resume some semblance of normalcy, but it isn't easy at all. I do hope you're well.
It seems that increasingly, the emphasis is on cosmetics rather than medicine, at least where dermatologists are concerned. Everyone wants to anti-age, but it seems to have slipped their minds that healthiness is a prerequisite.
Well, there you go, Ducks. Young bank clerks taking liberties with your given name is also a bit too familiar. Probably no harm is meant, but the impersonal pet names seem a mite disrespectful.
It's wonderful to see you back, too. I've missed your grace, humor and kindness, and do hope that your life is beginning to right itself. Sending warmest hugs to you and Em.
- Maria Montenegro said...
Hi Susan,
I agree with you. Some of the manifestations of disrespect in this world are enough to gray a ten-year old. If it had been me I would have said, "hunny pumpkins, please can you please address me with Susan? i don't do well with being patronized." [grin] Or, look around the room dumbfounded and ask who it is he's talking to???
- heartinsanfrancisco said...
Subtle. Very subtle. I would have checked in with you beforehand if I'd known what to expect. Honey pumpkins sounds a tad obscene, don't you think? In other words, perfect!
- Maria said...
Never put up with that shit. I know exactly how you feel. It is demeaning to women our age and no one says it to women in their 20's or 30's. When I was in my 20's, no doctor would have DARED to call me sweetie or darlin. Now, I get it from store clerks a lot. Or else the "ma'am thing. I also would not put up with anyone chuckling at me. It's like getting clucked under your chin. I've found that when someone calls me sweetie, etc. if I say, "Thanks, lil cutie!" or something similar in a sarcastic voice, they generally shut up. But, you have far more class than I do.

Team New Zealand have extended their lead over America's Cup defenders Oracle Team USA with their third straight win off Bermuda this morning (NZ time).
After controlling the start, TNZ helmsman Peter Burling had the nose of his ACC boat ahead around the first mark and extended his lead to 32 seconds, after counterpart Jimmy Spithill misjudged the third gate and needed an extra tack.
The Americans almost lost a man overboard on the third leg, when one of their grinders slid across the deck and, fortunately, into his position on the boat.
Emirates Team NZ were 42 seconds up at the fourth mark and Spithill tried to make up ground by initiating a tacking duel, but Burling wouldn't bite and continued to sail smoothly to the finish, eventually finishing 49 seconds clear.
"I thought the boat was going a lot better today," said Spithill afterwards. "We were able to get off the line well and get round that mark just in front, but unfortunately we just didn't pull that gybe off and they were able to roll us out of the gybe.
"It was a tight race, the boys kept fighting and we've just got to into this next one swinging."
Team NZ entered the second day of racing with a 1-0 lead in the first-to-seven format, after taking out both contests yesterday and quickly erasing the one-point deficit from Oracle's victory in the challenger qualifying series.
Conditions offered winds of 9-12 knots, similar to yesterday and right in the sweet spot for Team NZ's configuration. Oracle chose to use their high speed foils.
Today schedule
5.12am Emirates Team NZ beat Oracle Team USA by 49 secs
5.57am Oracle Team USA v Emirates Team NZ
Team NZ lead 2-0

So today I took my last "real" exam. I say "real" because I'm taking 2 5 hour classes. We had Constitutional Law on Monday, and Friday we sat for our Contracts, the exam that I just finished. Criminal Law awaits us Wednesday, but that is only a three-credit class, and we have learned very little in the class.
Contracts was my hardest course. Constitutional Law presented weighty issues, intertwined with history, policy, and morality. Contracts, on the other hand, represents what I consider the worst aspects of Anglo-American law. We often see two parties refusing to keep promises that they have made to each other. The entire doctrine underlying contract law pre-supposes that some promises do not bind the parties, where some promises do. As far as the conservation of judicial resources goes, this makes sense. But contract law offends my sense of fair play and honor. The thought that courts of justice will refuse to hold a party to a promise almost makes my stomach churn.
I initially found the subject distatestful, but, in spite of my disdain, God had place me in that class, it is part of my legal education, and I will probably use it the most. Thus, I knew that I had to buckle down and goad myself to study. Moreover, my professor exhibited no desire to help us, and he provided very unclear, irrelevant analysis of the cases. He did not help us learn the material very much. However, I prepared extremely thoroughly for the exam, and I think that I brought it to its knees. If felt good.
Afterwards, I spent a little time relaxing by the pool with some friends. It was great. Absolutely nothing doing around people I enjoy. The only drawback was that no baseball was on TV. I had a very serious urge to crack a High Life and watch a game on the couch. There will be plenty of time, however, in the coming weeks to do that.
Why Colonel Sartoris?
Allow me to explain the puzzling title. Colonel Sartoris is William Faulkner's greatest character. He exemplifies those values that his society cherishes, namely tradition, patriarchy, courtliness, and courage. Though modernity's slow march tries to strip him of these things, Sartoris continues to live as he always has, knowing that "the past is never dead. It's not even past." He seeks order in the honorable folkways and mores of his forbears. Let us not forget his example.

Genius! Urban Outfitters has teamed up with Republic Bikes to offer completely custom bikes. There are two styles of bike frames and everything else you can make personal. Frame color, seat color, handle color, tire color. For some reason I tend to get suckered into every customizable product on the market. But, this bike may top the charts.
The two below are a couple color combos that I love. Just looking at them makes me want to be at the beach, cruising down the boardwalk.

Wow! the kind words come from Dave Kolonich, creator of the Cleveland Historical and Pop Culture Mock Draft that included Soapy Smith as a running back, posted below. I had contacted and thanked Dave for his fun contribution to Soapy's lore. He then responded on his blog, Cleveland Reboot, with the following.
Talk about a small world. It turns out that Jefferson "Randolph" Smith II, alias Soapy Smith, is the subject of one of the best Old West historical sites on the entire Internet, Alias Soapy Smith. The site is part of the Soapy Smith Preservation Trust, run by family descendants of the famous outlaw and features volumes of history, beautiful photographs and other great links. If you're a history nerd, check out the site. You won't be disappointed.If things don't work out for Smith in Denver's backfield, as projected in Cleveland Reboot's Historical and Pop Culture Mock Draft, Smith's future and legacy is in safe hands.
I am humbled and proud.

While making some matching earrings, I thought of a simple way to improve the stability and neatness of the inner "chains" of the motif. So, I've uploaded an updated version of the pattern which you can download from my original post HERE. I've replaced the old version of the pattern PDF file with the updated version so, if you are downloading it for the first time, you will be getting the updated version.
If you've already printed the pattern, simply print page two of the updated version and replace the original page two with this one. The only change is in Step #10. The rest of the tutorial is still the same.

I am old enough to have lived through the ending years of the second world war, granted I was a child, but I remember, We knitted blankets for the soldiers, and were taught to hide under school desks in the event of an attack. Then Korea came along, by then I was a teen, became a Pen Pal to soldiers I still have never met. My memories are strong during this time because our church, near Ft. Devens in Mass.Organized a place for soldiers to come for music, food, dancing and happy times. Our Mothers provided the refreshments and some of us sang with a live band, brought fellows home for dinners and Friendships were formed.
Then of course Vietnam became the next "Biggie" with some un-named fights in between. This was an unpopular war, and our troops were treated badly by our own population, I never understood why they were punished for just following the orders given to them. Faithful to those in command. They suffered physically, and mentally and when I visit the Va hospital with my husband I see the results of that time.
Now we are in the present and we are still being confronted with enemies, but these times are quite different, and we still have the "Bravest of the Brave" protecting us! Everyone of these men, from every battle in our history, are ANGELS who have protected us and our country. Maintaining our precious way of life.When I began to think of Angels every definition that I found, proclaimed, " A Guardian spirit sent by God" A spiritual being believed to act as an attendant , agent or messenger of God. The word itself is from the Greek, Aggelos, which means Messenger.
How many of you have someone in your current life that you know is an Angel sent for you.? Is it a special friend who looks after you selflessly? I have one of those, who I know I can depend on for anything, despite her own needs. Is it a Doctor who has given his or her ALL to heal you? Is it a spiritual adviser who really cares about your pain? Perhaps it is a now elderly person who has mentored you just to make you strong, or a teacher who influenced your life, a neighbor who just loves you for you, warts and all?
I recently, just by accident, re-met someone who was an acquaintance some years ago. Many things had happened to this person in the intervening years. She herself now has MS which is a daily battle, she has a grown child who has a terminal illness. These are only two things in her daily struggle, but she saw a need in our area, and facilitated the opening of a food pantry in her church. She works tirelessly to make this a success. I can attest to that because My husband and I became volunteer recruits and feel blessed to be able to do so. She is definitely my definition of a modern day Angel. God is working through this person , She is one of his ministering spirits!
When the Angel of the Lord came to the Virgin Mary to proclaim that she would bear a child. I wonder just what Mary was feeling? Can you imagine such a thing? She, who was so young, trusted!!! We have heard the Bible stories of the Christ child and the birth in the stable, but would anyone of us really have that much faith or trust? Think of the tumult of emotions for Joseph!
In discussions, often among my own age group, the subject many times is, "we, as a society are bending the "rules. Some sacrifice unborn lives because it is not convenient or not the right time. The nuclear family life is shrinking, and the Christian religions are under attack. Divorce is on the rise, because it is now relatively easy to do. I am often told " well times are different" " Lives are busier and there are more choices." , It is then . I am reminded of Mary, who bore and birthed a child on trust and Faith and Joseph, who did not leave her. God's rules do not change!
We have just celebrated the Christian celebration of Christmas!. Now all of us will celebrate the New Year and turn the calendar page to 2015. I never make resolutions, about diet because I would probably fail that test, more money--well it would be great, but probably won't happen. I will pray, to meet the challenges with Grace, and kindness. To become a more passionate follower of Christ and to trust! What will your resolutions for 2015 be this time? I will share with you just a few pictures of friends and those I count as Angels. Mr. Dude counts as No # 1 with my darling son right there with him. They both keep me centered.There have been so many in my life who have guided me and mentored me, many are now in the arms of our Lord including my dearest Earthly Father Carl. I cannot show them all--my sweet young neighbors who include us in their lives. My Younger brother who comes when I call and takes care of our Mother. All of these single acts of kindness makes us all the better for it.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

Let's beginulate!
Q. What is Dave wearing today?
A. Dave is dressed to tape teevee today: he is wearing a blue dress shirt, a sportsjacket and a gold-and-black tie. He is also wearing jeans, because he only needs to appear professional from the waist up.
Q. How does Dave feel today?
A. Dave feels all Valentine-y.
Q. What are the factors affecting Dave's mood today?
A. Dave exchanged cards and hugs this morning with Complementary Spouse Britt Shirley.
Q. What is the origin of the title of this morning's Four Question's post?
A. Dave is paraphrasing the Eurythmics' song "You Have Placed a Chill in my Heart." It appeared on the album Savage, and, to Dave's recollection, was not a hit.
Dave says this brilliantly written song about a dysfunctional relationship sprung to mind because the title mentions hearts — appropriate for Valentine's Day — and because it is quite chilly this morning in Tampa.

You Have Placed A Chill In My Heart And My Four Questions
Let's beginulate!
Posted by Dave @ 8:33 AM
Tags: Four Questions


text:
I was trying to decide if I should do a Valentine's post today. In the end, I didn't think too hard about it. I looked back in the archives and found that two years ago I didn't post about Valentine's Day, instead I was entirely too buys preparing to cater my sister's wedding. Last year I had the audacity to eschew Valentine's Day in favor of a post about losing weight...I'm so glad that since then I've placed a moratorium on insane ramblings about how to shed a few pounds.
So instead, today I'm going to share with you a fantastic use for that last cup of yogurt you have sitting around. I've been making homemade yogurt lately. It's extremely easy to do, and anyone can do it. I happen to use a yogurt maker, and normally I use milk, dry milk, and a bit of plain yogurt as my starter. This time though, I was out of the powdered milk and wondered how yogurt would turn out without it. So this time it was simply fat free milk and a few tablespoons of plain cultured yogurt to start it. Worked great actually! Without the powdered milk though, the yogurt comes out pretty runny, so I needed to thicken it by scooping it into a strainer to drain. I lined my metal seive with coffee filters and then scooped the yogurt into it. I had meant to let this sit for an hour or so, but before I knew it, several hours had gone by and I had luscious thick and creamy yogurt.
I thought about drizzling it with honey and eating it just like that, but then I noticed that it had an almost cream-cheese like consistency, and I knew it was calling for something special.
I took small bits of red bell pepper, onion, fennel, baby carrot, and radish and chopped them up finely. Total I had about a cup of finely chopped vegetables. I put this into a baking dish, sprinkled with salt and pepper, and then drizzled with heart-healthy olive oil. They then roasted in a 450º oven for about 20 minutes, or until nice and brown on the edges and extremely fragrant. Then I had to let this cool a bit. Once cooled, I simply combined my drained, thickened yogurt with my vegetables, and then added another pinch of salt and pepper. Back into the fridge to chill and meld they went, and later at dinner time I was rewarded with an amazing roasted vegetable dip. Using fat-free yogurt, no less. The only fat in this thing is the bit of olive oil, which actually increases the good cholesterol, so for us, we'll keep it in.
I served it up with whole wheat crackers to accompany some soup for dinner, but it would be awesome with crudite as well. In fact, It would also make an excellent dip for just about anything, and if you wanted, you could also give the vegetables a whiz around the food processor to make this more of a spread for tortilla roll-ups or for sandwiches. It would make an excellent spread for a smoked turkey or ham sandwich. I may just have that for lunch today, actually. So here's my Valentine's Day gift to you, a fantastic Roasted Vegetable Dip that you can enjoy with no guilt. It's truly delicious. The only thing I didn't add that I should have would be a clove of garlic to the roasting vegetables. I think I would slice it thinly so that it didn't burn before the rest of the vegetables were done. And of course, herbs could only make this better. Play with it as you will, and enjoy. I know we are!
Roasted Vegetable Dip
1/4 cup red bell pepper -- finely chopped
1/4 cup yellow onion -- finely chopped
1/4 cup fennel bulb -- finely chopped
1/8 cup baby carrots -- finely chopped
1/8 cup radishes -- finely chopped
1 clove garlic -- thinly sliced
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup nonfat yogurt -- drained for several hours
Preheat oven to 450º.
Combine chopped vegetables and garlic in a small oven safe dish. Drizzle with olive oil, some of the salt, and some of the pepper.
Roast for about 20 minutes, stirring once.
Allow vegetables to cool.
Combine with drained yogurt, adding remaining salt and pepper if needed.
Chill for about 1 hour to allow the yogurt to firm back up and the flavors to meld together.
Serve with crackers or vegetables.

What To Do With Leftover Yogurt...

You are a genius! How late at nite do you stay up to think of all these super ideas? Okay, I need to adjust this recipe a smidge...what ya suggest instead of the fennel & radish parts?
- Erika W. said...
Whatever you have on hand. That's the beauty of this kind of recipe. I thought mushrooms would be a great addition myself, but really, whatever you have will work great. Zucchini, eggplant, celery, tomatoes even...

Looks wonderful, I can't wait to try it.

As civil registration was beginning, the non-Anglicans wanted there BMDs to be recognized as equal to those rites celebrated in the Church of England. In 1837 and again in 1858, a commission was appointed to study the non-Anglican registers. The protestant non-conformists cooperated with the commission and submitted over 6000 registers. After being inspected and accepted, they became legal documents. They were transferred to the Public Records Office, Kew, now part of the National Archives. The LDS Family History Library has microfilmed almost all of them.
To learn more about nonconformist records, try the familysearch.org wiki:
www.familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/england_and_wales_nonconformist_index_for_RG_4-8To view images of nonconformist records, go to www.BMDregisters.co.uk, a pay-per-view site run by www.thegenealogist.co.uk in association with the National Archives.
Note: The registers are catalogued under the name of the congregation that submitted them. For example, if a minister remained with a congregation but changed affiliation from Wesleyan to Primitive Methodist, he might have kept the same register. It helps to know the history of the congregation to find the register.Jews and Catholics did not respond to the commission. Watch for information about the records of these two groups and the Quakers in a later post.

Psychological research has shown that people with pets, generally speaking, tend to be happier and healthier. Our pets, whether they're dogs or cats, provide us with emotional support. They bond with us, and most people see them as family members.
|Pets Provide Us with Emotional Support
People who might be experiencing social isolation, often fare better if they have a pet. Our pets usually love us unconditionally (and how often do you experience that!) and we love them. They're a source of comfort and can be a source of joy.
|Pets Are Part of Our Family
Assisted living and nursing home facilities have found that the elderly respond to dogs and cats even when they might not respond to other residents or staff. They enjoy the pet's company, including their physical and emotional warmth, and the tactile sense when they pet them.
I was very moved to hear a story about a cat in a senior residence who instinctively knew when a resident wasn't feeling well. He would lie on the bed with the resident, providing comfort. This cat was also attuned to when a elderly resident was about to pass away, and he would stay with the resident until he or she died. The staff said it often helped the resident to have a peaceful passing.
Pets Can Help Us to Relax and Shift into a Good Mood
Even when you're not around your pet, just thinking about your cat or dog can help you to relax and shift your mood.
I love both cats and dogs, but I'm especially partial to cats. I had my cat, Hecate, from the time she was about seven weeks old until she died at the age of 19. Contrary to what people often say about cats, she was very sweet, loving, and cuddly. When I first got her, she would drape herself across the top of my head at night like a fur hat. She was also very smart (I know, I know--everyone thinks his or her pet is the cutest and smartest!)
In the morning, Hecate would pat my mouth with her paw to let me know she wanted her breakfast. She was also very playful. Once I was looking for her all over the apartment. Usually, she would come when I called her name, but this time she wasn't responding, so I was starting to get worried. Then, as I was standing by the refrigerator wondering where she might be, I felt a tap-tap-tap on my head. I looked up. She was standing on top of the refrigerator, giving me a mischievous look. Then, she jumped back to hide again, and slowly creeped to the edge and peered over the side to see if I would play with her which, of course, I did.
Hecate passed away more than 10 years ago now, but all I have to do to shift my mood is to think of her and she still brings a smile to my face and a warm feeling.

Young Goodman Brown and Other Hawthorne Short Stories
the minister black veil by nathaniel hawthorne
why does mr hooper wear the veil?
why does mr hooper wear the veil?
The veil is a symbol more than anything else. At Hooper's deathbed, Reverend Clark prays that Hooper allow the veil to be lifted. But Hooper resists with surprising strength. Still bearing his sad smile, Hooper accuses the rest of the crowd, asking why they tremble at him alone. All the townspeople have avoided him and show him no pity, he says. They are all hypocrites, as they all wear "black veils" and shield their eyes from God when they confide in others. Hopper dies and is buried with his black veil, his eyes forever covered.

Cosmological Recycling
So to summarize all this stuff,
There is a level of heat or energy that exists everywhere in the universe, even in the space between stars and galaxies, and many believe that this is the leftover radiation (or heat/energy) from the expansion of the universe. It is hard to deny the reality of the CMBR but it may not mean quite as much as modern scientists believe, more on that next time in the Laymans' Laboratory.

Polish Haul!8:47 PM
Okay, so compared to other polish haul's I've seen online this is pretty tame, but it's the most polish I've ever bought at once and I think that's blog worthy! I'm actually pretty proud of this polish haul because the whole thing cost me less than $30 and with all my new butterLONDON, that's quite a feat! The China Glaze and OPI Katy Perry at the top cost me the most. I'm not a big Wet 'N Wild fan but I was at KMart today and I've been eyeing the Teal of Fortune for awhile now. When I went through the checklanes I found out that it was buy one get one free so of couse I went back and snagged two more! The nail art polishes my dad found me at The Dollar Tree and guess what...$1 apiece (or nothing since my Daddy loves me!) I've been wanting some nail art brushes for awhile but I didn't want to pay the hefty price tag (the Orly ones are 5.99! Ouch!) so when my dad mentioned that he had them at the Dollar Tree I was wicked stoked. This was every color they had...still hunting a black one!
Anyway...left to right top row is: China Glaze Crackle in BrokenHearted, OPI Katy Perry in Teenage Dream, Wet 'N Wild Fast Dry in Teal of Fortune and Blue Wants to Be a Millionare and Wet 'N Wild Megalast in Blackmail and Private Viewing. Bottom row is all LA Color Art Deco Nail Art in: Bright Orange, Intense Pink, Silver Glitter, Gold Glitter, Yellow, White, Green Glitter, Blue Glitter, Silver and Red Glitter.
LOVING the Teal of Fortune!! Also hoping the Private Viewing looks similar to butterLONDON Tea With the Queen (since it's $14 and I'm CRAVING it!).

Stimulus Part II: Fiscal Katrina on Its Way…Warren Buffett for Spending Czar?
Today, I signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act into law.
So begins an email we recently received from our new, internet-savvy President.
Now, what exactly is going to "Recover" thanks to the $787 billion combination of Fed spending and tax cuts, which our previous posting on this topic details, remains to be seen.
And as for the "Reinvestment" part, we likewise note that the money is going not so much for the kind of "bold" programs the President has been talking up. Rather, a good $300 billion is earmarked to be bulldozed into existing, failing, government money pits.
Quibbles with the Act's title aside, the money has been approved, and therefore it will be spent. And the email message from the President tries to be reassuring on this point:
It's a bold plan to address a huge problem, and it will require my vigilance and yours to make sure it's done right.
I've assigned a team of managers to oversee the implementation of the recovery act. We are committed to making sure no dollar is wasted.
Forgive our cynicism if we happen to think most of the dollars will in fact be wasted. After all, that's what government does. Still, the "No Dollar Wasted" promise can be dismissed as a rhetorical flourish along the lines of the previous White House occupant's "Mission Accomplished."
More intriguing is the concrete promise that some sort of committee—"a team of managers"—will oversee the Fiscal Katrina about to hit our government institutions.
Unless, however, that "team of managers" consists of two people, Berkshire Hathaway Chairman Warren Buffett and his equally penurious Vice Chairman, Charlie Munger, well, good luck with that, as they say.
For all his two years in the U.S. Senate, Mr. Obama never apparently learned how this stuff actually works. Here's how it works: the money gets appropriated by the appropriations committee, and the agency that receives the money spends it.
Period, end of story.
In fact we recently had dinner in Washington with a friend who works for a consulting firm that has been hired by just such a cash-flooded agency.
This agency had received a mandate to conduct certain things that will probably never see the light of day—not because those things are top secret, but because the goals were established under the previous administration.
No matter: the money was approved and allocated, and the cash is flooding in so fast the agency doesn't know how to spend it.
So the agency did what many agencies do in the same circumstance: they hired a consulting firm to help spend the money. Several hundred million dollars' worth.
[Note to jobless MBA students: go to Washington; interview with consulting firms; get job].
The good news about the so-called "Recovery and Reinvestment Act," economy-wise, is that a half-trillion of our money and our children's money is going to be spent in the next couple of years.
And that's also the bad news, for it will be wasted in ways that make TARP, and TALF, and anything else we've seen since the housing boom burst, look positively rational.

Government wasting money? Did you know that water is wet? Is there a difference between the stimulus and the bank bailout in the degree of wastefulness? I am no expert of economics but the stimulus while wasteful seems like it might produce something tangible, whereas TARP seems like cotton candy and pixie dust to me. So my question is, how does this problem get sorted out and how far should government stay away from trying to fix it? I am reminded of a demotivational poster that said Government- If you think our problems are bad wait till you see our solutions.

1. Amare Stoudemire. With the Big Stoplight tethered to the bench with foul trouble, Amare showed the Warriors and a national television audience that he is the Suns frontcourt player that every team best be game-planning for. He ran and jumped and dunked and blocked and rebounded the Suns to an important win. When the final whistle blew on the 123-115 Phoenix win, Amare had amassed 36 points, 11 boards, 4 blocks and 6 assists. Not only did the Suns show Golden State (who had taken three on the trot from the Suns) that they are still the best at the up-tempo game but they moved themselves back into striking distance of the teams ahead of them.
2. Tyrese Rice. This guy. If there was ever a doubt about Boston College coach Al Skinner's ability to teach the game of basketball and turn out well-rounded players then the career of Rice should dispel them forever. Rice arrived at Chestnut Hill as a chucker. As a freshman he would come off the bench and shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot. He would make a lot of these shots but he was a smaller, leaner Zach Randolph. Except with even less of conscience on the court. And, now, he is the poised, upper classman leader doing his best to hold together a team with 10 freshman and sophomores seeing most of the minutes. Yes, he can still fill it up with the very best of them (his 45 against UNC two weeks ago prove that) but he understands the flow of play and manages the game in a way that is remarkable if you watched him two seasons ago. And, last night he put a floundering group of freshman and sophomores on his slight but muscled shoulders and scored 17 of his 19 points in the second half of an upset win over Maryland in the first round of the ACC tournament. BC is still two wins under five hundred but if Rice can lead the team on Gerry McNamara/Syracuse type run than perhaps they could squeak into the NIT in this rebuilding year.
3. The Big East Tournament. While other conferences are playing their games in places with names like the FedEx Forum (C-USA), Boardwalk Hall (A-10), Sprint Center (Big 12) and the creatively named Charlotte Bobcats Arena (ACC), the Big East is playing their tournament in the Mecca. They get to play in Madison Square Garden. How can it not seem like a bigger deal? And, perhaps inspired by the hallowed boards the players tread, the games more often than not live up to the venue. Yesterday and last night were no exceptions. Georgetown hit 17 3-pointers to hold off Villanova. Pittsburgh upset Louisville in overtime. West Virginia shocked UConn. And, we're just getting started.
4. Baron Davis. Though his team lost last night Davis once again showcased his revitalized game. He has truly been a revalation playing for Oakland. His combination of strength and speed and beardedness set him apart from every other point guard right now. He is really a BIGGER version of an in-his-prime Marbury (although he can't pass quite as well as Steph). He scored 38 last night and was one rebound and two assists shy of a triple-double.
5. Caron Butler. After being out so long he must have had to drop ten grand on new suits, the All-Star guard finally returned to the Wizards lineup last night. And to my Fantasy team. His 16-games of injury started out as a day-to-day hip flexor issue. He scored 19 in his first night back, which is pretty impressive and had one nice behind the back dribble along the baseline to show that he didn't rust over too much. Oh, and the Wizards held of the Lebronaliers for a narrow win.
Benched. ESPN.com. If you read this site then you know that I fought the law yesterday. And, I guess, it was a draw. I fought the law and it was a draw. Not quite as catchy as that song. While I can take some satisfaction in the fact that there were people seemingly scrambling to change stuff for an hour or two up in Bristol, I surely didn't win anything. I didn't get an apology for anything. Anyways, I can only hope that the drama was entertaining on some level and apologize for letting that dominate the day at WWOD?.
Benched. Bubble Teams. I don't know if I remember a day when so many teams with a win-one-and-they're-safe game ahead of them spit the bit before. Syracuse lost. Florida lost. Maryland lost. Oregon lost. Baylor lost. Arizona State lost. Villanova lost. And Mississippi lost. Now, I guess since virtually every bubble team lost yesterday this means that it's a wash. Or, does it mean that we can finally extend invites to the twenty-something win #2 teams from the smaller conferences rather than the #7 or #8 teams from the power groups.

Rex "Mundane" - Rex Mundi
I mean, the later issues are different than those collected in the first trade (#0-5), right?
Because otherwise...there is a whole lot of nothing going on with this comic, if the comic is to be based solely on the first trade, "Rex Mundi: Book One: The Guardian of the Temple," the subject of today's "You Decide."
Written by Arvid Nelson, and drawn by Eric J (with colors from Jeremy Cox, whose work I really dig), the series is certainly not bad. It is well-written enough. It just does not strike me as all that unique or interesting. I freely admit that that could just be because they haven't GOTTEN to that stuff yet, but that does not help me much with the first book, now does it?
The art from Eric J is intriguing. I was not a fan of his style, and, to be honest, I actually think he HURTS the book, as I think is especially pointed out when you see Guy Davis' pin-up at the end. Can you imagine Guy Davis drawing this book? MUCH cooler. However, while I am not a fan of his style, I do think that his style would work very well on a superhero title, so I am not surprised to see him depart the series, presumably because of that very reason.
The story is set in a Europe of the 1930s that is still very much entangled in the Inquisition. The Church controls much of the world. In this setting, a priest is murdered and his friend, a doctor, sets off to investigate what is going on. It all involves secret orders, the Holy Grail, a quest to the Middle East for oil (petrocarbons), and all sorts of conspiracy stuff.
Nelson certainly spends a LOT of time setting up the, well, setting. He includes in each issue a very detailed newspaper which gives even MORE depth to the setting. This is nice to see, but while he spends all the issues setting up the period, he does not do as much in actually having things happen.
As a result, the "ending" of the first book reads like the "ending" of a first chapter of a novel. Which is fine when reading a novel, but when you're reading a 22-page comic, it really shouldn't take 110 pages just to get through the first chapter. The action is so, well, mundane. This really reads a lot like that lame Heath Ledger movie that came out awhile back, "The Order."
As of the end of Book One, the only reason this series stands out (in a positive sense) is the depth that Nelson has given to the main conceit. That's great, but please, someone tell me, does something actually HAPPEN any time soon?

Celebrate birthdays with Book Club
Throughout the school year, children in grades K-5 can celebrate their birthdays with the Birthday Book Club. The Birthday Book Club, co-sponsored by the Hudson Elementary School Libraries and Hudson PTO, is a fun way for parents and children to celebrate both birthdays and reading. As a participant, a child chooses a new book from his/her school library's Birthday Bookshelf, a bookplate with his/her name is placed on the inside cover, and he/she the first student to check out this new library book. During their library period, the child will also be presented with a certificate and a bookmark to keep as a remembrance of this celebration.
Through Oct. 31, any student whose birthday is between Aug. 1 and Oct. 31 is invited to enroll. Download an enrollment form from a school's page on www.HudsonPTO.org and return the completed form to a child's teacher with the $15 enrollment fee. Mark envelopes to the attention of the Birthday Book Club, and checks should be made payable to Hudson PTO.

Sony Details the Third and Final 'The Last of Us' DLC
Sony has revealed the third and final morsel of DLC for Naughty Dog's wildly successful action horror game The Last of Us. The Grounded Bundle will bring with it new trophies and a new Grounded difficulty for the single-player campaign that cranks up the AI's intelligence for $4.99.
If you're more a fan of its multiplayer offering, the Reclaimed Territories Map Pack (included in the bundle) will introduce four new maps: Wharf, Capitol, Coal Mine, and Water Tower.
If you own the season pass — if you don't, you have until May 13 to get it — the Grounded Bundle will be unlocked when it releases. The season pass costs $19.99. Otherwise, you can grab the Grounded mode for $4.99 and the map pack for $9.99.
Sony has confirmed that the Grounded Mode will be included in the recently announced Remastered edition.

Manager: Cesare Prandelli
Captain: Gianluigi Buffon

Bio: Italy were really really poor in the 2010 World cup. They went out at the group stage and didn't have a hard group. They were beaten Slovakia and Failed to beat New Zealand and Paraguay drawing both 1-1.
Captain: Gianluigi Buffon
Star Player: Mario Balotelli
Bio: Italy were really really poor in the 2010 World cup. They went out at the group stage and didn't have a hard group. They were beaten Slovakia and Failed to beat New Zealand and Paraguay drawing both 1-1.
They have recovered since and they have hired Prandelli who has previously managed Fiorentina and Roma and has a good track record. Italy managed to go 9 games unbeaten but then lost to Ireland in a friendly. They Qualified only conceding 2 goals and whitewashed the group and made it with ease. They did it by playing Cassano playing behind Rossi and Pazzini to much success. The problem is Rossi and Pazzini are not in the squad for the Euro. In fact Gilardino didn't make it either so a total of 98 caps missing in the forward line only.
As normal Italy are going to a major tournament with a match fixing scandal hanging over their heads. Domenico Criscito has had to pull out of the squad as he has been linked to the scandal. Im not going to talk about this as I don't know to much about it. Its goes hand in hand nowadays. But Criscito would have been the starting Left Back for Italy. Instead they will play Angelo Ogbonna (Italy will field 2 black players. Not saying it's a bad thing at all but unusual). Ogbonna is a Left back who plays for his football for Torino. He is not a bad player but he is not as good Criscito so he will be a loss.
This Italy side on features 3 players not playing in Italy. Balotelli, Thiago Motta, Salvatore Sirigu. But it does feature Fabio Borini who played for Chelsea and Swansea and Alessandro Diamanti who West Ham fans will remember. Don't expect either players to start. I would expect them to attempt to continue playing Cassano behind 2 strikers likely to be Balotelli and Giovinco who have a total of 16 caps and 1 goal. The Midfield will feature De Rossi and Pirlo and Marchisio.
I watched the 3-0 defeat to Russia and as this is the ONLY warm up game Italy played they will have to be judged by that performance. It could have gone either way in the first half and until Russia scored Italy may well have been the better team but as soon as Russia scored Italy offered nothing. They didn't show a fight to win the game and ended up giving away another 2 cheap goals and lost 3-0. They seem Reluctant to play Di Natale despite him being Serie A top scorer over the last 4 years. The 34 year old seems to have been blamed for the 2010 failure and that's harsh because none of them turned up.
Italy are one of the Tournaments favourites but not in my eyes. I would say England have a better team than Italy in fact I think they will struggle to beat Ireland or Croatia let alone Spain. The Reputation of Italy is higher than the ability of this current team. This is not a bad team but they will not win the Tournament

What Made Me Happy - Week 4
01/23 Refrigerator Light
This is one of the small things in life that you really take for granted until you don't have it. A light in your refrigerator. I was SO happy when Steve fixed the refrigerator light after it not working for 10 months. But alas after a couple days it's now not turning on 25% of the time, but that's still an improvement, right?
01/24 Iron Bird
I love it when I find things I've been looking for....like a bird for my iron bird cage that has been empty for a year and a half. X Check, off the list. Yay!
01/25 A Healthy (and Delicious) Salad
My focus for January has been health, but since I've been dizzy and we had a mountain of snow at our house I've been sucking at meeting my goals. One is eating regular meals (I tend to skip breakfast but since a friend told me that the first way Sumo wrestlers try to gain wait is skipping breakfast I am trying not to but I still find it hard). I'm often alone for lunch and just grab whatever is easy which isn't always that enjoyable. I happen to love salads. Today I made a salad with mixed greens, lemon pepper chicken, apples and walnuts and a lemon tarragon dressing. Yum! It made me happy to eat it and I felt like I was doing something toward my health goals.
01/26 Little Bear After School
Ainsley loves school, she comes home in such a good mood! It's funny though, almost as soon as she sees me she asks for a DVD (using sign language). She was able to open the very heavy block drawer and get to her blocks and needed just a little help to get into her hammock. The sight of her doing such a normal thing as watching a DVD, playing and swinging in her comfy seat after a day at school makes me very happy and proud of her progress. Also since Little Bear was my favorite show for the older kids I love that she likes it too.
01/27 A Day Out With My Father
The day was beautiful, there was a thick fog in the valley with glints of sun peaking through as I drove to my destination with the music cranked up. It was the perfect start to my day, though I wish I'd had time to park and photograph the view. Pre-kids I used to go out with my birth father for breakfast many Saturdays, after which we would go visit an art museum (he's an artist) or see a movie. It was our special thing, but when the kids came along it became difficult to do. He's a great guy and I enjoy spending time with him and miss our outings so I decided to invite him to breakfast to celebrate his birthday. We always seem to have so much to talk about that we linger, but you can only drink so much coffee. Afterward we toured a local gallery and saw some great pieces. And then we met up with my sister and her husband to see his new business enterprise, a photography studio a couple blocks away. I got to use his "Penn Wall" to take this picture of my dad posing all fierce. I love it! We got a private tour of the Edmonds Masonic lodge, it's in a 100 year old opera house, and tried to photograph ghosts. It was an adventure and it's hard to pick just one photo but this would have to be it.
01/28 Basketball and Fatherly Encouragement
I am very happy that my son is learning the lessons that team sports teach. Such as: it's how you play the game that counts, attitude is everything, how to work as a team (even when your team mates aren't), how to lose gracefully, the benefit of practicing anything you want to be good at. He was having a bit of a hard time and feeling rather down (he doesn't have much of a poker face) so Steve sat down on the bench to give him some fatherly encouragement. It was sweet. Our life can be exhausting and in years past we just couldn't make the time commitment that sports require. I am grateful that things have improved enough that we can do this for Adrian.
01/29 Bags of Leaves
Steve was SO busy at work from October through December that our yard has suffered. Then just after the Holidays it snowed. We still hadn't raked our leaves and it needed to be done so we decided to work as a family. I had the kids picking leaves out of the bushes (yes they complained but it's character building) while Steve and I raked. Ainsley came out in her walker. After several hours (and more by Steve) it looks much better but we didn't get the side or the back. This picture was taken before Steve bagged up the last of the leaves, 8 bags in all. We are very lucky to have this beautiful yard, but it is an awful lot of work. Since we live in a neighborhood with covenants and our neighbors yards are quite tidy, our lack of upkeep was quite noticeable so it's quite a relief to have it at least half done.
Have a great week! To view a slideshow of the entire Happiness Photo Project click here. For more about what this is all about click here.

I think it is safe to say that I don't always keep to my promises when it comes to blogging! Sorry I haven't posted any pictures of my new buys lately but I honestly haven't had the time. SO whilst that's still to be seen to, I thought I might as well shows you guys some photos from a Halloween Party I went to last night.
As for my costume, I was labelled as "cake" when I got nominated for Best Costume, but really I was just an inspired version of a candy girl from Katy Perry's video, California Girls.

don't mind the scaffy nail varnish...

and a really posy picture of me to finish off, haha.
Have a good weekend guys and Happy Halloween :)

So last Friday we finally got Farm 9 tiled. This was a farm that we had been renting for a number of years, and now is owned by the Liquid ownership. It was really in need of tiling. It is heavier soil and there are some springs feeding it somewhere. It was never dry early enough to enable us to plant corn, so had to wait till later and plant soybeans or wheat in the fall after bean harvest. It really isn't suitable for plots as it's so hilly, but it's a pretty 32 acres and we have grown some good crops there. Fraker's trenching has done all of our tiling, and was back again. It has been a dry spring around here, so he has been able to get a lot of jobs done.
Well it's not like we can drive right in and start planting. The ground is pretty dry now since there has been very little rain this spring. So the soil didn't fall back in so much. It will take a little work to close up the trenches, but there is a plan. Master fabricator Ron has built a tool to get the job done. Hopefully I can catch him in action with it this week.

So maybe we'll go with mostly a "story of pictures"? Whatd'ya say?
On Friday morning our late start (more on that later) granted us a luxurious wake-up call of 7am. We loaded up the vans and were off to Oregon! In case you're confused, our group team name is "Afternuun Delight" but each of the 3 teams were further designated into "Team Morning" (us!), "Team Noon", and "Team Night".
Since we love food though, "Team Morning" quickly became "Team Breakfast":
And since "Team Morning" Van 1 and "Team Noon" Van 1 seemed to be together nearly the entire race (that was a blast - so glad it worked out that way!) - our conglomerate quickly became "Team Brunch". Yeah, we're clever.
Team Brunch at the end of the race
After a few hours in the van (the first of MANY), we finally got a glimpse of that oh-so-glorious mountain: Timberline Lodge at Mt. Hood.
Isn't it lovely? Shouldn't this be a magazine cover? Don't you love our Team Sparkle skirts?!
Tricia started getting ready for her first leg and the rest of us started getting ready for the whole race with our Nuun tattoos (the most important part of course!):
Corey rocking the tattoo application
We also made it our mission to Nuun-tattoo as many people as possible, and taking some notes from The Amazing Race the day before - aimed for as many "odd" looking people as possible. Good strategy, right?
Being the last leg of your van definitely has it's disadvantages. On this first leg I was ITCHING to run. I was seriously dying of jealousy every time another teammate took off. It was killing me to wait all that time, but finally, FINALLY, Molly and I (my leg 6 counterpart on Team Noon) took to the
Friday, August 24, 6:20pm - Just late enough to have to wear the reflective vests / headlamps / LED flashers even though it was broad daylight.
And we were off! Molly is ragingly fast and passed me within the first 10 seconds of the race. Two people passed me and I passed two people for a sad net gain of 0 (but we don't worry about net, only gross matters, right?!).
We had a nice jaunt down the highway that led into Sandy, Oregon, where the first major exchange was waiting there at the Safeway parking lot. This was to be my longest leg, which I was very happy to get done with first, however I was pretty nervous going in because my glute acts up on 6 mile runs, so how was it going to react to not 1, not 2, but THREE 6 mile runs???!!!
Surprisingly it seemed to do okay. It was hot out (high 70's) in the blazing direct sun and I was at max effort, so the main concern was my heart rate / breathing the entire time - so that was plenty to think about.
Total Distance: 6.71 miles Total Time: 52:24 Average Pace: 7:49
Splits: 8:06, 7:47, 8:05, 8:00, 7:37, 7:35, 7:20
Look at all those 7's! Yeah yeah yeah, the downhill:
Total elevation gain of 165 feet, 526 feet of loss
The route was net downhill by a decent amount, with some rolling hills that are difficult to see in the elevation map since the scale is so large. But you can likely see that the first mile was warm-up, second mile downhill, 3rd and 4th miles slight uphill, and last 3 miles downhill.
I was all alone for the last 3 miles - could not see a single runner in sight in front of or behind me, and that was very unnerving because there were NO signs and NO volunteers directing me where to go (or confirming I was on the right track!). Once I got into Sandy there were a few annoying stoplights and I got to run past a bunch of people eating at bars outside who all cheered for me - which was funny.
And before I knew it - I was sprinting into the exchange:
And then I handed off to Erin on Van 2 and we were all done with our first set of legs! I immediately walked as much as I could before we left and stretched my glute / hamstring out - which was the story of the whole trip. I rolled it with the lacrosse ball a bit too, and used Bengay a few times, and it seemed to keep the problem under control. I'm on a break now from running though - in case you wanted a bit of a spoiler alert!
And that was my 1st leg / Leg #6 of Hood to Coast! Next up: dinner and my 2nd leg - the night one!

Pathos (Grief, dysthymia, and annihilating self-hatred (well, mabye not annihilating self-hatred. maybe))
So here's a brief glimpse into Benjamin's mind. Warning: darkness ahead.
My delightful and brilliant father-in-law, David Jones, has been visiting for the last couple days. I have found his presence and company enormously encouraging.
Today we went hiking in the Mount Baker Snoqualmie National Forest and the Henry M. Jackson Wilderness. It was cold and wet, but not raining, and it was beautiful, and I felt remarkably good (hence the remark). We hiked nearly 10 kilometers, there and back, along the Pacific Crest Trail.
At the end of the hike, we drove down to Kirkland to meet my lovely dad at Outback Steakhouse. We went in, and sat down, and a young waitress named Alline came to take our orders. She tried to start with me, and I hadn't decided yet, so I asked her to let me order last. So she took orders from Megan and my dad and Megan's dad, and the moment she was done with that POOF, off she went in the flash of an eye.
I had been feeling quite hungry after all that hiking, but suddenly my hunger was gone, and in it's place was a feeling, in the pit of my stomach, that has become rather familiar lately--a sort of sick, empty, heavy feeling like one is about to cry. I said to myself
"Self, you need to speak up and make sure you that Alline gets your order, or else there will be no food for you to eat."
"Ah, but I no longer feel like eating anything anyway, so that will be fine. Anyway, surely even if Alline doesn't realize her mistake, someone else here at the table will, and will take appropriate steps."
"Well, what if they don't? You're a perfectly capable grown man, and by God you should at the very least be able to speak up for yourself when someone makes a smallish mistake like that."
"Aha--yes, I suppose you're right. And beyond that, I will most certainly feel like a world class idiot when their orders all arrive and there's no food for me."
"Yes, that's true, you *will* feel like a world class idiot, and it will be your own fault. Dork. Loser. You're pathetic. Now do something quick."
"But ... alas, even if I wanted to, which I don't, not entirely, there seems to be this feeling right here, at the center bottom of my rib cage, which ... has sort of paralyzed me, and I can't seem to ... do much of anything with it."
"God what a pathetic loser you are. I mean look at you. College graduate. Grown man. Father. And you can't even speak up for yourself in a relatively tiny situation like this? I mean what if you had to deal with any sort of *real* disaster or catastrophe or difficulty, like all those suffering people who actually don't even have access to potable water, or maybe like all the schizophrenics or clinically depressed people or people with borderline personality disorder? Get a grip!"
"God, how I wish I could. I. just. seem. to. be. paralyzed. with. this. horrible. horrible. feeling."
etc. etc. (I'm not making this stuff up).
That all went on until the food actually came. At which point some of the predictions of my unkind self came true. As my pathetic self more or less knew they would.
There something rather awful about a sense of being left out in the quintessentially communityish event of eating together.
Someday, I shall be emotionally healthier than I am in this present time period, and I shall ... *feel* better than I generally do currently. I'm convinced of that. Among other things, I've felt ... nearly this bad before, and then it got easier. Multiple times, actually. Thus experience indicates that it will probably get easier again. Hooray for that.
