For a traditional festive holiday, there's nowhere quite like Christmas-card-perfect Prague. This month, it's all about mulled wine, seasonal cuisine and seeing in 2014 in style
While it's true that the Golden City has its appeal in any light, the month of December sees Prague at its most storybook perfect. Throughout the Unesco-protected, historic quarter of the Old Town, the streets twinkle with white lights strung from trees and rooftops, and the Christmas markets that dot the main squares are ideal for last-minute gift shopping. After that, check out the myriad seasonal concerts that take over many of the city's famed churches and theatres.
The eve of St Nicholas Day, on 4 December, is a special celebration in the Czech Republic, when the streets come alive with children dressed as one of three characters: St Nicholas, a Devil or an Angel. The biggest gathering takes place on Old Town Square, home to the largest market and also the biggest Christmas tree in the country. Warm up with a mug of hot mulled wine, or svařák, and browse the stalls selling handmade wooden ornaments, gingerbread hearts and wrought-iron crafts. Book a table at nearby Kalina, where executive chef Miroslav Kalina presents his New Prague cuisine – a sort of fusion of local talent, French inspiration and seasonal fare – before indulging in a stiff hot chocolate infused with chilli at Choco Café, just off the aptly named (for this time of year) Bethlehem Square. It's a short walk from here to the gilded National Theatre – if you can, catch the much-loved, combined adaptation of The Nutcracker – A Christmas Carol on Christmas Eve.
There is no better place to experience the first snowfall of the season than on Charles Bridge on a winter's evening, with the glow of Prague Castle in the background. Wander the cobblestone alleyways of Malá Strana and the Old Town – at their most beautiful when bathed in lamplight. Stop by the tiny Vinograf wine bar, close to the bridge, to sample the produce of the South Moravian region's burgeoning wine country, or try to get one of the few tables at U Hrocha (The Hippo), a characterful, stone-walled pub that is one of this beer-loving city's oldest public houses. Eat like a local at the buzzing Lokál, which prides itself on a Slow Food approach to classic Czech cuisine – there's no better time to appreciate a hearty goulash or roast duck with sauerkraut than just after coming in from the cold.
Many of the restaurants in Prague – which now boasts two Michelin-starred venues and numerous places with Bib Gourmand recognition – host all-inclusive evenings of dinner and entertainment for both Christmas and New Year's Eve. For example, the noteworthy Kampa Park – which with its views over Charles Bridge and the Vltava river is perfect for watching the fireworks at midnight – is putting on a black-tie New Year's Eve gala. Alternatively, take up the Bohemian Christmas package at Mandarin Oriental, Prague, or dine in festive style in the hotel's elegant Essensia restaurant. Whatever you choose, there's no better way to ring in the New Year than in a city that is more than a millennium old.

A Day for Daisies challenge #19
I made this card for the current challenge at ADFD. The challenge was to use black, white, and one other color. The card is an "S" fold card that is graduated. I used a Martha Stewart edge punch along the top of the card. The black and white paper is from Making Memories. I used the Labels four nestabilities for all of the shapes. The yellow behind the image is one nestie smaller than the white. I cut it in half and split it behind the image. The flower is from "Got Flowers" and the center is an I-rock gem. I colored the image with a buttercup Promarker. The ribbon is Offray. There is a white piece inked in yellow in the center section. I left it blank so it can be written on.

I've been holding back the excitement so far, but I can't help it how – its nearly time for IBM Connect 2013. 2 days before I head out to Orlando! I've been working hard on the Best Practices track, helping calm nervous speakers, herding the cats into submitting slides, editing, posting. There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes to make it all work. At times, from inside and out, it looks like a train wreck, and often it almost is. All of the track managers, the speakers and the tireless organizing staff are going full tilt and ONE slip and it will all go crashing down. Or not. Every year, it all comes together, at just the right time.
This year seems different, there's the same heavy tech focus, but a lot of new stuff and new ideas. I'll be blogging the show, attending as many sessions as I can. I'm speaking at 2 BOFs and at Spark Ideas. True geek fun includes Jonathan Coulter, John Hodgman and Jane McGonigal. If you don't know them, you better learn them before you get there or risk your geek creed. Use your Google.
The Great Geek Challenge is back, Speedgeeking, Spark Ideas sponsored by Nerd Girls and as usual, Nerd Girl buttons with all new designs. I will have a special stash of the buttons that you won't see in the bowls. I'm a full fledged Team Social member too.
Will I be seeing you there? I hope so – this is going to be a great year.

Following today's apocalyptic trading in Bank of America, David Faber disclosed that one of the biggest cheerleaders of the increasingly doomed bank, David "Balls to the Wall" Tepper, had cut his entire stake in BAC and Wells Fargo (despite presenting the most laudatory powerpoint back at the 2010 Ira Sohn conference which predicted BAC going to $27... no comment). That's great, however, as we disclosed the other stock that is currently causing Paulson to scramble and to extract "value" out of every non MTM 2nd lien currently held by the fund, is none other than Citigroup which tumbled just a little less than BAC, closing down 17%. The issue is that as per the just released Appaloosa 13F, Citi is the top stock held by the hedge fund currently... Although probably not after today. Which is surprising because if Tepper expected Bernanke to announce QE3 tomorrow, he would pull more of his on screen antics and instead of dumping his financial holdings, he would be adding. Then again as the chart below demonstrates, Tepper is a guy who is happy to buy high and sell low, if in the meantime he can take advantage of the Fed's generosity with taxpayer capital to make billions in his Christmas bonus. Anyway, while Tepper may or may not have been skewered on his top position today, below is the complete summary of all position changes between Q1 and Q2.
Tepper buying fins high and selling low (courtesy of John Lohman):
And he's showing us that he's among the genius asset managers who make money when everything rises, and lose money otherwise.

A New Page in the Big Book of Life
I turned a page in my big book of life !!
Yesterday was a very emotional day for me,my MIL finally got a call from her caseworker that she had a room ready for her in the nursing home, and yesterday December First was her first day there.
We were there at 10 am and brought her with 2 big suitcases of clothes, they meet us at the door and could not have been more welcoming and caring towards her and my family.
After we toured the complex and saw all they had to offer, spent most of the day there with her getting a feel for the place.
When I left I had such mixed emotions but I must say I felt she was in good hands and I felt like the weight of the world was lifted from my shoulders.
My MIL was all smiles and seemed happy to be there.She had already made 2 friends !
She asked us to come today as there was a big Christmas party for them this evening with a sing along. Is that wonderful or what !!
Today this is how I feel, like I am in this egg just trying to break out and see the world, letting light in my space for the first time in a very long time.My world was a dark place since John passed away...... it still is...... but I am seeing light ....

God bless you and bring you peace and joy once again.
The holidays are especially difficult when our life has made such drastic changes but it's wonderful that you are pulling out of the dark hole of depression and 'seeing the light' again. Just crack that egg all the way open and hop out into life hon. It's waiting with open arms.
Love, hugs & prayers

The best gift we receive while living on this earth is the presentation of a new day to begin again, start fresh, and record on a new clean, blank page. Realizing this is a huge step for someone who has suffered loss and been forced to make difficult decisions. You are a strong person!

Now just a few months later you have lost your love and moved your MIL.... and I have lost both parents.. What changes we have seen is such a short time..

Hello dear Diane,
Such great news that your MIL is now in the nursing home and seems to be adjusting so well!! Making friends there in her age group will do her the world of good.

25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the dayis the evil thereof.
If we take the time to truly consider the tender mercies shown daily by a loving Father in Heaven, we will realize that just as he tends to the lilies of the fields, Oh how He has a desire to provide and care for us. We need to trust in that devotion He feels, and show that same devotion in return.
Finding joy in the journey,

I thought I'd compile a list of resources if you, like me, are trying to rise above the landfill this season. (Studies show that Americans put an extra one million tons of trash into landfills each week during December, most of it is packaging. I asked my local garbage collector his take on this, and his response: "so true!")
1) Shop local. Check out your local mom-n-pop stores. Here are a few in the Ypsi/Ann Arbor area.
The Rocket
Nicola's Books. Here is my older daughter enjoying a free afternoon at her favorite bookstore.
And here is my children's book on the same display as the gardening book written by our First Lady!
Friday, November 30, 6 - 10pm, KindleFest, outdoor holiday market, Kerrytown
Fridays, December 7th and 21st, Lunasa Open House Markets, Washtenaw Food Hub, local food producers and artisans
3) Think globally. Consider purchasing a item made by women who are overcoming hardship. Here is one source for unique and worthwhile gifts.
4) Look outside yourself and your own family by participating in a charitable event. Make a family trip to give blood. Pack a shoebox of toiletries for an impoverished child.
Buy a herd of livestock for a hungry family.
5) Attend a religious service. Even consider visiting a church of a different style, just to have a different experience.
Special thanks to the Sunday Small Group who helped to generate some of these ideas!
Do you have any more creative ways for celebrating the season in meaningful ways?

Argentina's second largest city is the perfect place to polish your Spanish, marvel at 17th century Spanish architecture, and tango the night away. Not to mention, Cordoba hosts the oldest universities in the nation, earning it its fitting nickname: La Docta (The Learned One). With its collection of universities, museums, and monuments, it's no surprise that Cordoba was crowned the "Cultural Capital of the Americas." Don't be surprised if you find yourself flocking to the city's nightlife, which the city is so well known for, to play and learn about the local way of life, most students who study abroad in Cordoba do!
Study Abroad Programs in Cordoba
The university capital of Argentina, Cordoba has a rich academic tradition and is a great place to immerse yourself in Argentine society. Cordoba is a huge industrial and artistic center, creating a healthy balance of left- and right-brained people to strike up conversation with during your study abroad adventures.
Since Argentina has one of Latin America's strongest economies, students will benefit from taking business and economics courses while studying abroad in Cordoba. Observe and research how Argentina trades internationally with its neighboring countries and learn how it fits into the global economy.
The city hosts over 100 museums and historical sites, so students interested in art history, and art in general, will definitivamente get hands-on experience learning about this city's cultural past and present through study abroad in Cordoba. From expressionism during the colonial period to current design trends, students will have a ball learning about the intricacies of Argentina's visual culture.
Last but not least, Spanish is the most popular subject of study in Cordoba, and all of Argentina for that matter. Spanish classes of all levels are taught by native professors, and the best part is that you can practice what you learn in class at any time while studying in Cordoba. Some courses may require you to adhere to a Spanish-only contract (it's not as scary as it sounds), which will lead you to sound like an authentic Argentine in no time.
Many courses in Argentina are taught in English, so Spanish language skills aren't required to study abroad in Cordoba. It's always a good idea to pick up basic Spanish though, so that you can navigate the city and ask out classmates for a cup of yerba mate under teacher supervision. Most university courses are taught in a lecture-style with many students, so it will be up to you to be proactive in staying in touch with your professors. Professors may arrive late to class, which reflects the more laid-back style of learning. Since the day starts later in Argentina, classes can run until around 7 p.m. or 8 p.m.
The academic year in Argentina runs from March until mid-December, and students get two weeks off in July for receso. Schools are closed for national holidays in Argentina, like Good Friday and Easter, and long weekends are common (puente will become your new best friend). Winters last from May until September, so keep this in mind when you are planning for study abroad in Cordoba. For example, studying abroad in Cordoba during second semester is a better idea if you'd prefer to see the temperatures rise during your stay.
Life in Cordoba
Cordoba's historical past and vivacious present make it an exciting place to study abroad in Argentina. Since Argentina has received massive influxes of European immigrants over the last few centuries, the food, customs, and music of Cordoba are highly influenced by a number of cultures.
You won't be bored while studying in Cordoba, but you also won't be overwhelmed either, as you may feel in the massive city of Buenos Aires. Life in Cordoba starts later in the day and also ends later at night. Businesses open around 10 a.m. and close in the afternoons for siestas; locals tend to eat dinner between 9 and 11 p.m., so the boliches (night clubs) don't get lively until about 1 a.m.
During the day, you can explore the Jesuit Block, a UNESCO World Heritage site, the city's countless cathedrals, and the Plaza de San Martin. There's a captivating mix of traditional, Spanish-style architecture with modernist buildings throughout Cordoba, and no shortage of thematic festivals and tasty street carts.
After exploring, you can head to a coffee shop with an Argentine friend who can teach you about the custom of drinking mate, which comes with its own set of rules. If you're hungry, try the steak, since Argentina is a cattle-producing country with some of the highest quality meat in the world. For dessert, grab some alfajores, which are cookie sandwiches with delectable fillings like dulce de leche. They're often covered with powdered or glazed sugar, coconut, or chocolate. Naturally, all meals and desserts are accompanied by a generous pour of malbec or torrontes.
You'll soon forget all about that plane ticket back home once you begin your study abroad program in Cordoba.
Accommodation & Visas
While accommodations in Cordoba vary depending on the study abroad program you choose, there is no shortage of warm welcomes to greet you and make you feel at home. Argentines are known for their genuine smiles and love of good conversation, so loneliness won't be an issue if you study in Cordoba, no matter which accommodation you choose.
Some study abroad programs in Cordoba include homestay accommodation, which are a great way to experience the local culture and brush up on your Spanish skills daily. You may have less privacy than you're used to living with a host family, but it is also the once-in-a-lifetime (unless you come back for another semester) chance to eat home-cooked Argentine meals and play Spanish cards until the fire dies out. Other study abroad programs in Cordoba house students university dorms, so you can mix and mingle with fellow local and international students. Lastly, you may be placed in an apartment, which will give you more independence, but less chances to speak in Spanish if you live alone or with other international students.
Regardless of nationality, you will need a visa to study abroad in Cordoba. Most study abroad programs in Cordoba do not include visa fees, but will coach you through the process. Refer to GoAbroad's Argentine Embassy Directory to get informed on visa requirements.
Benefits & Challenges
Cordoba's centralized location makes it a great jumping off point for exploring the rest of the country. Outdoor lovers can hop on a bus to the neighboring Sierra Chica Mountain Range and the countryside, where they can go fly-fishing, horseback riding, and enjoy a traditional asado (similar to a barbeque, but infinitely better).
City-goers will have plenty to keep them busy in town, whether going salsa dancing or exploring the many museums and historical sites. There's never a dull moment in Cordoba, and the great news is that with all of these activities, students are bound to make new local friends with whom they can practice their Spanish skills.
Compared to other Latin American countries, Argentina is a relatively expensive place to live, due to increasing inflation. Additionally, foreigners are charged double what a national pays when visiting tourist attractions. Making a monthly budget can help make expenses less of a headache. While life in Cordoba is more expensive than life in, say, Ecuador, it's still cheaper to live in Argentina than it would be to live in Western Europe.
Study abroad in Cordoba is perfect for students who have a things for adventure and a desire to have cultural attractions right at their fingertips. With a vibrant social and artistic scene, students will leave Cordoba with an appreciation for one of Latin America's greatest economic and cultural and powerhouses.

Craft shows can be a great way for authors to showcase your books. Promoting books at craft shows offer the following benefits.
Generate Book Sales
First and foremost, craft shows offer great opportunity to promote your books. Why not make sales on the craft show floor? You could also meet book store owners or other business owners who would like to host a book signing. Make sure to bring plenty of books, bookmarks, business cards, flyers and any other promotional items that you may have. This way you can give something to people who do not buy books at that time.
Generate Leads For Future Author Promotion
Even if you're unable to make a sale, craft shows are a great way to make contacts for future sales. The key to craft show success is good follow up, so don't forget to check in with potential readers after a week or so. Several ways to gather contact information include: a giveaway which requires people to register and a list for people to join your mailing list. It is good to get their name, address and email address. You can include a short questionnaire to ask what type of books they like and any other questions which relate to your writing.
Learn To Create Author Promotional Opportunities
Craft show booths can operate like a giant billboard for authors. They provide you with ample space to promote your books to potential readers. You can inform them about your books and what will appeal to them, if the booth and promotional materials don't convey this, its time to reevaluate your approach.
Author Networking to Promote Books
Craft shows offer opportunities to meet potential readers in a more relaxed atmosphere. This is another example of times when you can meet people who would want to work together to help you promote your books. Another benefit of craft shows is the opportunities to network and build useful relationships. You could meet existing readers and other writers or aspiring writers that you probably would not meet otherwise. The benefit lies in the potential for promotional partnerships.
Many craft shows offer special consideration for new "businesses" that can make participation financially possible. Even if you don't see any mention of discounts or specials, ask the organizer before you decide if you can participate. If logistics is a concern, most shows have teams that can set up and break down your display. They may even be able to construct one for you from scratch. However, check about charges for these services before you make a commitment.
Craft shows are an important way to promote your books. These shows put you in front of potential readers. Are you looking for a good return on your marketing dollars? Craft shows deliver. For information about craft shows in your area, visit these websites:
These listings offer craft shows, art shows, wine festivals and many other events. Use your imagination and see what possibilities you can discover.

Dress, Gap. Vest, Charlotte Russe. Shoes, Isaac Mizrahi. Sunglasses, Target. Necklace and pin, vintage.
This is the closest I can manage to AW15 style in early September. California is as hot as ever and the wildfires are raging. At least all that smoke makes for some pretty sunrises. (And sunsets. The sky was the most incredible shade of purple as I drove home from swim practice. I took only a mental picture.)

Different flowers have different symbolism. But, in general, all the flowers have positive sense. One of the most widespread flowers for a tattoo is a forget me not flower. Girls usually make a small and accurate forget me not tattoo on their anklebone or tail bone. It symbolises a true love, hope and memory. The the forget-me-not flower tattoo image, as well as with other flowers are preferred by girls though the forget me not is admissible and for guys too.
The forget me nots with gently blue, white or pink petals and the bright yellow centre grow almost all over the world. Many beautiful legends are connected with this flower. For example, the Ancient Greek legend tells us about two enamored – Likass and Egle – whose love and fidelity were widely known. But once, Likass had to go home and to enter in possession of the private residence which was left in inheritance by his uncle. Egle was frightened that Likass, after becoming rich, will forget about their love, will find a cute beauty from the city and will not return to Egle anymore . But she did not know, whether it was necessary to tell Likass about her fears. When they have saying goodbye to each other, Egle has burst into tears. Those tears fall into the grass and have turned into flowers as blue, as her eyes were. Those were the first forget me nots. Egle collected those flowers and gave them to her beloved. She didn't say nothing, but Likass understood everything and named the flowers "forget me not".
It is interesting that forget me nots grow everywhere, and in different countries they have similar or even identical names. Both in German, French, and English they are called "forget me not". And everywhere the forget me not tattoos symbolize the devoted love, the sincere feeling and the grief of separation. Mostly the forget me not flower tattoos are chosen by those who were left by their beloved people.

Hey everybun!
So I've just finalized my two new collections, slated to release on November 25th, so I finally found myself some time for some nail art. I haven't done some true freehand nail art in a while, and I sort of went all out on this.
Presenting my absolutely, fantastic, wonderful nude/rainbow stripeys!

Thank you again to 'The Mighty' for posting my article on ableism.
Many people are upset by this article.
I assumed this would happen.
It's okay. I'm a big girl, and I can take it.
All I ask is that you think about it... consider it.
People with a disability don't want you to feel sorry for them. Or to use them to get hits on an article. Or to use their circumstance to pat yourself on the back.
They want acceptance, and they want to be treated equally. They also don't want the world to perpetuate stereotypes.
I don't believe the football player did anything wrong. He was being a kind human being. As well, I understand WHY the mother posted it on social media. It's the media, who clearly used this child's autism as "inspirational porn" to get hits.

Indie Star Pillow and RnR Jack I
31 comments:
Lovely pillow and thanks for the link. The back is very pretty, yes, and I hear the Indie fabric calling me (buy me, buy me), but the front is very nice indeed. I like the way you have used your fabrics.ReplyDelete
That pillow really is lovely, what is more so is the line 'like a small shirt on a fat man.' Truly excellent work.ReplyDelete
Lynne, I love your fabric selection for the star pillow! I wasn't a big fan of this light print, but thanks to you I can see its potential!ReplyDelete
Lucky friend, Lynne!ReplyDelete
Its lovely.. you have such a great eye for prints and colour!
I have had my double fat jack quilt sat around awaiting quilting for so long - it kept being put down the to do list because I had quilts for presents to make and finish, but really hope I'll get the quilting done today as I have two days with the rest of the family away.
It would be could to have the 8" available if you'd be so kind!
gorgeous pillow, and you have me giggling about the possibility of #epicfailReplyDelete
Beautiful pillow! I absolutely love the fabric you chose for it.ReplyDelete
I've totally fallen for that Indie fabric of late, I just love the rich coloursReplyDelete
Love that pillow (front AND back)! You have one lucky friend!ReplyDelete
So want to join your Jack Attack but fear I have neither enough time or fabric. Gahhh.ReplyDelete
That is so lovely. :)ReplyDelete
Lovely pillow ~ front and back ~ your friend should be quite happy with it!ReplyDelete
I love the Union Jacks! I was inspired to make placemats - and definitely want to make more Jacks! Thanks for the encouragement and directions.ReplyDelete
I'm planning on stitching up this block for my next paper piecing project. Your's is gorgeous and your Jack is spectacular. =)ReplyDelete
Wonderful pillow/cushion!! Could you share (maybe you already have), or point me in the direction of how to make the back flap? I'm assuming the the edge is regular binding process. thanksReplyDelete
Love that star! Those fabrics are really good together!ReplyDelete
i am so in love with that pillow! i love indie so much. pat bravo is srsly my new fave!ReplyDelete
It's gorgeous!ReplyDelete
P.S. #epicfail? Never!!
small shirt on fat man, hahahahahaReplyDelete
Such a gorgeous pillow, your friend is super lucky and how rude of her NOT to be reading your blog =PReplyDelete
Beautiful! I just broke down and purchased some Indie myself. I don't think not matching up is going to equal epic failure;)ReplyDelete
Gorgeous cushion! Love that design!ReplyDelete
Love, love your cushion! A 16" template would be fantastic if you don't mind doing it!ReplyDelete
Lynee, that Indie pillow is gorgeous. I have got to get myself some of the fabric before it all disappears!ReplyDelete
Totally love the Indie Star Pillow & would be soooooo grateful for the 16" templates :)ReplyDelete
Lovely cushion with gorgeous backing fabric, thanks for link to pattern, I might just give this a go!ReplyDelete
please share the 16 inch pattern. i absolutely love this pillow. what a lucky friend.ReplyDelete
I don't think it matters if large geometric patterns don't match up. At. All.ReplyDelete
The pillow looks so nice Lynne! I made an 8 pointed star this weekend as well. Your first jack looks great! I've definitely got to catch up.ReplyDelete
beautiful pillowReplyDelete
I would love to make the 16inch version if you share the pattern, I'm hoping to make the Jack quilt for my eldest daughters christmas present as she is leaving to work for her charity in Uganda for two years next January. http://www.tasteforscience.org/ReplyDelete
I love your pillow and would love to make the 16" version myself if you wouldn't mind sharing the pattern.ReplyDelete

Meet Dead Head Fred. I just LOVE him! For directions, just check out below...
This was created on a 12x12 canvas. I lightly traced out a grid system knowing that my chevrons would have to be pretty darn straight for it to look right.
After tracing the lines I used painters tape to tape exactly where I wanted to paint.
Then I painted the outside lip with black as well. Then as many of my projects do...it sat for a week or 2 LOL!
I ended up cutting frames out of some BEAUTIFUL Teresa Collins paper. The Halloween word paper is from last years Halloween collection and the black flocked frame is from her Timeless collection. Really makes the frame quite beautiful. Finally I purchased the glittered skull head from a local craft store and yes the glitter was already on it. I cut off the back of the head and hot glued it to the canvas. And now I have another fabulous Halloween decoration!!
Thanks for stopping by!

Michelle Obama confesses, "Marriage is hard" and I was advised a few months ago to seriously consider getting married if I want to climb up the corporate ladder. Blimey!
Not too long ago, I was thinking that I should 'hire' a husband because in most corporations, married women enjoy various benefits, especially medical coverage for their spouses and children. Since I am single, shouldn't I too enjoy such coverage for my parents, for instance?
But lately, I was told, married women too suffer in their corporate climb. In some conglomerates, women who went on maternity leave will have their performance rating downgraded by one notch. In some other companies, mothers are not entitled for a bonus for the financial year they went on the maternity leave. I wonder why we must penalize mothers for giving birth to our bundle of joy.
While writing this, I wonder if our social activist, Fahmi Fadzil, deserves to be penalized in such a manner (that is to make public apology over Twitter for 100 times a day for 3 days) because the corporate world out there is indeed so cruel!
It is not marriage or being a mother that is hard, being women is hard in this modern world. With the rise of baby girls being born for the last few decades, boys are regarded as heaven-sent to most parents. As a result, most boys grow up into irresponsible men.
So, what do I mean that we have more irresponsible men.
Irresponsible men are emotionally handicapped. They grow up, expecting to have their material needs fulfilled and their messes to be cleared by others. They are so self-centred, they forget about the sacrifices made by their parents. They feel it is acceptable not to give a monetary token to their parents on monthly basis. The world revolves around them, without no care at all about their family member. The saddest part of this sexist upbringing is the rise in divorce rate and marital abuses. More and more youths run away from their broken homes while more and more old folks living in poverty while others are being abandoned in old folk establishments, under the care of strangers. By and by, social ills become permanent stumbling blocks, inflicting the young ones right up to our golden-aged folks.
Irresponsible men lack drive to excel. It shows in the declining number of boys getting into tertiary education system. This further proliferates into a strong force of women entering both our public and private sectors. Still, in the name of survival of purely egoism, women hardly make half of total workforce and mostly earn lesser than their male counterparts. No wonder our nation has fallen from its previous ranking of 72 to 98 in 2010 Global Gender Report, produced by World Economic Forum.
Irresponsible men think life is that simple - Just take care of their own needs and everything will be alright. It is never a case. Life is a wheel. What goes around comes around. I stand on these words that men, no matter who they are, should learn to be good sons before turning into good workers, husbands, fathers and leaders.
Only then, this nation will be a good one for everyone.
So, will the real good men please stand up?
p.s. A survey done on Fortune 500 companies shows that those with the highest representation of women on their top management team have better financial performances. In Malaysia, women only make up around 14% of decision-making positions and with this representation, instead of standing up for other women under them, these female decision makers will try to outdo their male counterparts by often showing others that their harshness signifies power. For a nation to truly push itself into a greater height, it is imperative for it to foster greater understanding and respect towards each gender.

Please pay your bills. Or at least give your creditors your own phone number, because I'm getting really tired of them calling me and expecting me to pay them what you owe. I am tired of hearing how far behind I am on my payments, and having to explain that they've go the wrong person. I am tired of the disbelief. I'm even tired of the profuse apologies when they finally believe they have the wrong person because--thank God--we do have different middle names. And if you won't pay your bills and won't give them your own phone number, will you at least cover any fees associated with me making my number unlisted? By now you owe me, you really do.

Anyone seen him?
Maybe he's hiding out with Cheney?
Squirrelled away in a love nest?
At their CPA's office, trying to figure out how to hide all the loot?
Or maybe he's at home, simply enjoying time away from... her?
Just asking... cause I sure ain't seen him lately...

Priorities, priorities.
The country is sinking after 7 years of Republican administration: Dollar in the toilet, fake Iraq war that cost $3 trillion transferred from taxpayers to Republican cronies, $8 billion MIA in Iraq which nobody cares about, 5,000 dead American soldiers plus tens of thousands injured, CIA secret prisons around the world, torture is rampant, abuse of privacy, Scuder Libby fiasco, financial meltdown, price of oil @ $105 / barrel, gold @ $1,000, Euro @ US$1.54, 1 million bankruptcy fillings estimated this year, housing bubble, 1 million new people living below poverty line every year since Bushco took office, etc, etc, etc.
But don't pay attention to all that, look over here sheep, where's Clinton? How many times did Clinton say the word "I" in a speech? Look the way Hillary laughs. That's more important.
- March 07, 2008 12:31 PM
McLame will become president? Thank god. The last thing we need is an all-out liberal government during the worst economic crash since the Great Depression. We'd come out of it a complete socialist welfare state with 50% tax rates. A split and deadlocked government is exactly what we need.

The Texas Republicans may have given us W. Bush, but they are not as dumb as you think they are.
They crossed over and voted in droves for Hillary. They hate Hillary, but did it intentionally knowing that she would continue to claw and scratch and damage the Democratic party into August, doing the Republican's work for them, while they keep their powder dry and save their money for the all-important Sept-October dash to the finish line.
There's already talk of a repeat of Chicago 1968 in Denver at the Dem Convention.
What a state this country is in. Oy.
- March 07, 2008 3:11 PM
We already are a socialist state! We baill out the Corps and Big Hedge Funds, and CEO. Capitalism is for the poor.
Republicans have ruled to long: look what we got! Huge Gov, Huge Bills coming due.
I think the plan is to destroy the US dollar, declare marshall law and Bush can continue as a the King.
My 2 cents. Thanks.

Bill looks (and sounds) more like WC Fields everyday with that pear nose of his which matches his old laides figure.
He is sounding like a farmer with terminal cancer looking for a loan on next years crop...
He still likes blue dresses too I imagine...
- March 07, 2008 3:25 PM
I heard him give a speech on C-Span at Texas A&M last week.
I thought he was amazingly good. Just a natural campaigner, seems to enjoy people, and speaking.
I know he screwed up in SC, but I think he's the natural and should campaign more. He can toot Hillary's horn better than she can as it would sound arrogant coming from her.
Plus it reminds Democrats just how good they had it.

I decided last night that although I have NEVER voted for a Republican in my life and although I absolutely detest the GOP and the Bush Administration, I will vote for John McCain should Hillary steal the nomination. Or if there is a way to write in someone, I'll write in Obama. Americans are just stupid. I am disgusted with Hillary Clinton.
- March 07, 2008 6:02 PM
Trying to figure out, with Hillary, how to undo all the damage seven years of Republican control have inflicted on our economy.
When Bill Clinton was in office, we had a booming manufacturing economy. Ford and Chrysler were resurgent and profitable, the technology business was creating millions of new jobs at market leaders like Microsoft and Intel, we were at peace with the world, the Euro was at 60 cents (not $1.50 as today), oil was $9 a barrel, airlines were profitable and paying good wages, the national debt was in decline and the government was paying it down increasingly rapidly with surpluses, federal government employment growth was slightly negative, and "offshore outsourcing" was viewed as something that harmed quality.
Then the "small government Republicans" got in charge and:
1) Doubled the national debt;
2) Delivered half-trillion-dollar annual budget deficits;
3) Doubled the national debt;
4) Ignored warnings from the prior administration and intelligence communities about terrorist attacks until AFTER 9/11;
5) Inflated a stock market bubble to head off a mild recession;
6) Inflated the present real estate bubble to head off a moderate recession;
7) Devalued the currency to toilet paper levels;
8) Launched an idiotic war build on lies in Iraq that will end up costing $4 trillion and 50,000 American lives before it's all said and done;
9) Shipped our entire manufacturing base off to China;
10) Failed to spend any time or effort actually capturing Osama bin Laden;
11) I could go on but I just won't, it's too depressing.
Anybody who wants to bash Bill Clinton, who also supported these Republican idiots, is an unpatriotic treasonous asshole. Bill Clinton was 1,000 times the president that this disgusting little Bushitter that the GOP imposed on us is.

- March 07, 2008 6:28 PM
When Bill Clinton was in office oil was $9 a barrel,
did you post that poppa?
rememberr when bill clinton was presedent and the oil price was
"In a letter to Clinton, the senators also expressed frustration with the Department of Energy's failure to take steps to convince OPEC to lower oil prices."
Senators said the administration claimed to have solved the problem of high oil and gas prices in March by convincing OPEC nations to increase oil supply if prices topped $28 per gallon, but noted that prices are now at $33 a barrel and there has been no action from OPEC.
this may help your fading memory a little better, poppa

Anon March 07, 2008 6:05 PM, get a grip. You haven't been studying closely enough what is apparently history to you.
Would you like some links (which you could find on your own, BTW) to read up on the manufacturing layoffs during the Clinton administration, the jobs available in manufacturing today, the "surplus" that never was, the history of offshoring, and anything else to refute what your drinking buddies are feeding you?
Or do you want a binkie?

This election is going to be very much like 2000, if we even have one. I told my boss in 2000 the day of the election "We won't have a winner till maybe Jan." She thought I was nuts. 2000 and 2008 are under a retrograde mercury, fuzz results. October/November 08 is the most nasty astro stuff in decades and the election day itself, the worst.
False flag, No election, maybe until 2010.

Behind The Baby Album
Dec 22 2008
During the holiday break, I'm trying to tie up some loose ends and one of those was completing my daughter's first year baby album. She was born a couple of years before we released Baby Say Cheese otherwise I would have already had the pictures selected as each milestone occurred!
Her baby album has sat on our fancy, big, mostly unused dining room table for close to three years (removed for dinner guests and promptly replaced the next day). She will be 4 years old next year.
It has sat open, closed, or askew with pictures hanging in and out of it for years. I saw it often out of the corner of my eye and quickly switched my attention to other things. For those who know me, I usually don't let things sit around undone but for some reason, I could never find the time to finish it. I would occasionally have a spurt of desire to complete it, would write some words, select some pictures, and ask my husband to print them. But quickly I would get distracted by something seemingly more important. And it sat there pulling me and repelling me at the same time.
We finished our son's album just before our daughter was born which was 2 or so years after he was born, but that was mostly because his album is in Spanish and I don't know Spanish. My sister decided to give us a Spanish baby album, so I had to nag, harass, make kind requests of their dad, who is fluent in Spanish, to finish the parts I couldn't before our daughter was born.
Our daughter's album is in English and on most days I know how to read and write English, but I had a baby album block…sort of like a writer's block but it had a baby album slant to it. Several months ago, I came to the sudden realization that all my excuses of not having enough time, not being able to log in to my husband's Mac to search iPhoto, not wanting to learn how to print pictures, and not wanting to deal with figuring out the dates of the pictures were masking my true feelings fears. And that fear had to do with closing a chapter in my life called 'babyhood,' despite not planning to (or wanting to) have any more babies. In my heart and eyes she will always be my baby girl but finishing her book puts finality to it and my heart is still adjusting to that feeling.
And it made me wonder about the other areas of my life where I might be doing the same thing. My fear of closing a chapter in my life and moving toward the unknown may be holding me back from discovering many unseen opportunities in business, my career, my life, or even my children's lives. And I wondered if many other's experience this sensation or if I'm the odd duck?
Oh, and just in case it wasn't clear, I finished her album today…just a few short hours ago…and she helped me do it. I'm moving on to the next chapter of my life, and I'm thinking to myself "thank goodness there's no such thing as a teenager album!" From what I hear, people like to forget those years. 🙂Author: Aruni | Filed under: babble soft, baby say cheese, parenting | Tags: baby say cheese, babyhood, first year baby album, parenting, Spanish baby album, writer's block | 6 Comments »

It took three months but there was finally another American victory on the LPGA Tour.
In an otherwise miserable year for the LPGA, the U.S victory in the Solheim Cup Sunday had to feel like an early Christmas, generating some genuine interest in what was happening while remaking Michelle Wie into a star again. Now it will be interesting to see where Wie and the tour go from here.
I'm a huge fan of team golf events such as the Ryder Cup, the upcoming Presidents Cup and the Solheim Cup because they change the players and the landscape. Personally, I could do without the face-painting and tone down Christina Kim's antics but it all worked beautifully for the American team over the weekend.
For Wie, it was a potentially career-changing event. The team aspect allowed the 19-year old to be herself and, from all indications, she broke down some of the walls that have surrounded her since she hit the scene several years ago. It had to help not having her hovering parents around all the time, allowing her to immerse herself in the team.
Her game, a mess a couple of years ago, has come back and she holed some putts thanks to the wise decision to talk with Dave Stockton about her putting. Wie looks like she's regained her confidence, which is crtical. Just ask Sergio Garcia and Adam Scott, both of whom have lost theirs.
If Wie can begin to win regularly, it would help revive a tour desperately in need of a boost. Tournaments are disappearing, there's an ongoing search for a new commissioner and American-born players haven't won very often. The tour has gone flat and seems in danger of flat-lining.
This should help. With Paula Creamer, Morgan Pressel, Brittany Lincicome, Wie, Kim and others, the American team showed it has compelling characters. Sure, the European team wasn't as imposing as an international squad stocked with the top South Korean players might be but it was still an important victory for the U.S.
For Michelle Wie, it may be the most important week of her still-young career.

Please tell us, if you as an American,are proud of the way Christini Kim acted on the golf course. Her no-class act should be condemned by anyone with any sense of good sportsmanship. If this is the way that you want to see professional golfers act during a tournament, then you are as bad as these ignorant members of the LPGA. It is no wonder that woman's golf is losing it's appeal to the public.

First, was the way Christina Kim acted any different than how Boo Weekley acted during the Ryder Cup? Riding his golf club like a pony? That was worse IMO.
Second, while she celebrated her winning holes, I was glad to see her tell the crowds to settle down when the European team was about to hit.

PORTSMOUTH — Combining the latest technology with compassionate human touch, the cardiovascular team at Portsmouth Regional Hospital is proud of the comprehensive care it has been offering the Seacoast over the past 15 years.
PORTSMOUTH — Combining the latest technology with compassionate human touch, the cardiovascular team at Portsmouth Regional Hospital is proud of the comprehensive care it has been offering the Seacoast over the past 15 years.
After applying for and receiving a Certificate of Need from the state Department of Health and Human Services to create a dedicated cardiovascular service, the hospital began actively recruiting a team of specialists.
Dr. Donato Sisto, a cardiovascular surgeon at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, N.Y., was chosen to begin the program at Portsmouth Regional in January 1999. He brought with him another cardiac surgeon, a perfusionist, cardiac anesthetist and a physician's assistant.
Today, the team has three cardiovascular surgeons — Sisto, Dr. Robert Helm and Dr. Victor Kim — as well as highly trained medical professionals with Cindy Fielders, R.N., as director of cardiovascular services.
Tailored procedures
"Fifteen years ago, we were using bare metal stents (small mesh tubes) to open patients' clogged arteries," Fielders said. "In time, these stents would become occluded (or obstructed)."
Now the stents are coated with medicine that is slowly and continuously released into an artery to prevent occlusion. While they may not be appropriate for all patients, using the drug-eluting stents has resulted in a gradual decline in open-heart surgery.
But, even if open-heart surgery is needed, Sisto said, just 30 years ago, patients in their 80s or 90s would most likely not have had an operation.
"But now we look at the patient's physiological age," Helm said. "One 90-year-old may have the physiology of someone who is 100, while another 90-year-old could be like a 60-year-old."
Helm said with people living longer, medical decisions are often driven by quality-of-life considerations.
"We have a steadily growing pool of people in their 80s," he said.
Valve repair is also not as invasive as it once was. Some valve repair procedures can be done with just splitting the upper part of the sternum or even by going in through the side of the chest wall to spare a scar down the middle of the chest in a young patient. Helm said splitting the upper part of the sternum is one of the least painful incisions, as it doesn't cut through muscle.
"We tailor our procedure to the individual patient," Sisto said. "We spend a long time explaining the different options and listen to the patients' concerns."
The surgeons usually wear a tiny video camera attached to their operating microscopic glasses to film surgeries, and many patients want to see them.
"They like to see what the diseased valve looks like and how much better the new one is functioning," Helm said.
Sisto added that by knowing exactly what is happening during the surgery, it takes away the patient's fear.
Education and outcomes
The surgeons upload their videos to a database to share their knowledge and also use the database to observe other surgeries.
They are also constantly taking advanced classes in new techniques and sharing new knowledge with their peers.
They also involve the emergency medical services in their education efforts.
"We have trained the EMS team on cold-water drowning techniques," Helm said. "By slowly warming a drowning victim, we can save a life even if the patient has been hypothermic for some time."
By keeping in contact with an EMS team as it transports a heart attack victim to the hospital, the cardiovascular surgery team can have the patient's artery opened by a balloon in the catheterization lab in about 40 minutes from the time the ambulance arrives at the door.
This quick action can save heart muscle.
New techniques
There are two types of valve replacement — mechanical valves or tissue valves made with tissue from porcine (pig) or bovine (cow) heart valves. While a mechanical valve is more durable, it requires the patient to take a blood thinner for the rest of his or her life.
About 80 percent of tissue valves last about 18 years before they fail or calcify.
"Bioprosthetic tissue is the real future of replacing heart valves," Helm said.
A new method for replacing valves through a transcatheter valve is expected to be approved in the foreseeable future.
"We are anticipating that, so most patients who need a valve replacement today, will likely receive a tissue valve," Helm said.
Multidisciplinary approach
Cardiovascular surgeons work closely with cardiologists to ensure better patient outcomes.
"Often, the cardiologist will come into the operating room," Sisto said. "We also talk with them about what would be the best approach taking their patient's cardiac health into consideration."
Both Sisto and Helm said they enjoy working and living in the Seacoast community.
"I joke that my car doesn't even get warmed up, and I'm already at work," Sisto said.
Helm added, "I love the fact that I can do the latest state-of-the art surgery here in Portsmouth and raise my family here."
Helm, who was on a New York cardiac team that operated on comedian David Letterman, said he follows the philosophy of the lead surgeon on that case.
"He said, 'I treat everyone the same,'" Helm said. "We have the same philosophy here. We constantly call into the waiting room during surgeries to update the patients' families. We put ourselves in their shoes."

Embers of Patriotism Rekindled
American Sniper hit a chord with a wide range of the public since its release. A resurgence of patriotic rhetoric was on display across much of social media as millions viewed a film disparaged by the left. Harmonious to those of us who always believed in the American Spirit, the movie made an impact on many quietly sitting on the sidelines waiting for the central nightmare to come to an end. Patriotism has been adrift in the caustic winds emanating from Washington which is doing its best to create a third rate America. Both at home and on the international front this country is no longer considered first rate in a wide spectrum of categories. Leadership has abandoned its post as minions of deceit hide their true agenda utilizing deceptive methods to keep the hierarchy afloat and the nation down. Tantamount to the broad cover up that surrounded the Nixon Administration, in the days of Watergate, there are a dozen of Obamagates waiting to be uncovered. Our reigning head of state continues to be absent on issues of substance which would strengthen the nation. Chris Kyle, American Sniper's hero, has rekindled loyalties to a nation whose strengths are drawn from its people not the ash of a lost Democracy. Awakening from a deep sleep a national pride is returning to the front pages of American thought. Finally people are realizing we are our own worst enemy. Following the trail of deviance delivered by a narcissistic President flawed rationale has turned this country over to internationals whose ultimate goal is to dismember our nation. A smiling Chief Executive can be viewed bowing to chiefs in the Middle East as he apologizes for not moving quick enough on his destructive programs. America will never be secure as long as its people are made insecure by those who want to rebuild the nation from the ground up. America does not need to be rebirthed. Instead it must hold those responsible for bringing this nation to its knees. American Sniper displays that millions want the country reignited to its former glory. They see this nation is worth saving though its present political dynamos don't. Embers of patriotism are being rekindled throughout this great nation regardless of the left who have exploited it for the green in their pockets. Nothing the present leadership can do will stop the forward positive forces we are seeing as patriotism takes hold again in a nation some thought was lost in the woods. The challenge now is to keep the fires burning before dark forces once again smother the flames. Collectively we will win back America which was temporarily sidelined by a historical deviance that should never be repeated.

Come Apart
Today we leave the sunny south (not exactly a desert place, I realize), rested and renewed from a wonderful vacation. Someone once said you should "come apart so you don't come apart". Good advice, I should think.

You can't talk about this book in any way without first mentioning the opening chapter. My toes curled, my hands were in fists, and my throat hurt. I had to suppress the urge to throw up. The first chapter of this book is powerful - the imagery is horrifying and stops just short of being too much. It is terrifying that it could even be conceivable, grotesque that it could possibly happen. But it works. This chapter serves its purpose and serves it well. If you ever forget it then you're lucky - and you will not forget it before you finish the book.
All I wanted to know for much of this book was who that poor young woman was, the girl who suffered such a fate and who did it. That you are reminded of this first, terrible act throughout the book only makes the reader more keen to finish this riveting read and solve the mystery with McLean.
The tone is not all horrifying gore. The characters bring a well needed injection of humour and mystery and a sense of realness. The reader is slowly fed information about McLean, his past does not overshadow the story at all.
This is a well rounded crime novel, with just enough of everything to make it perfect. James Oswald surely knew that to write about a Detective Inspector in Edinburgh would invite comparisons to Ian Rankin's Rebus and seemingly makes a nod to this near the very end, with a Police Constable reading one of Rankin's books.
I wasn't sure about the slight fantasy element at first, but it worked well with the story and resolved itself by the end. It's written in such a way that it's up to the reader to decide whether they want to include the fantastical or not. I've never read such a real crime story so well-woven with a hint of fantasy, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I won a copy of this book via Goodreads First Reads.

But let's back up and I'll tell you how we got there….
Tuesday night I decided to look at our finances and figure out how we're going to manage without me working full time. I should note that it is impossible for me to look at our finances without getting stressed. We could each make a million dollars a year and I'm pretty sure I'd still feel that way. It's just how I am. The thing is, I know we need to be more diligent about our spending. But I also feel like just our basic expenses/debt add up quickly. And it's not like we have any weird/crazy debt so I don't understand how other people do it. Anyway, totally stress myself out before bed time which is never a good idea.
I go to get a glass of water so I can head to bed but notice that the floor is bubbly in the middle of the kitchen. Not near any of the appliances but in the middle. And, yup, the new kitchen floor that I worked so hard to find. I thought I was imagining things except then I got onto the floor and noticed water coming up the seams if I pressed on them. Certainly I had to be imaging that, right?! There wasn't any visible water or damage by the sink, fridge, or dishwasher. Totally perplexed. It was at least 11:30 so Pete was already sleeping. I felt awful but I didn't know what to do so I woke him up. He couldn't figure it out either and we decided we'd call someone to take a look the next day. I'm sure this was not the best plan as any water leak/damage could have turned into a gigantic problem overnight but calling someone in the middle of the night didn't seem like a good idea either.
The next day, Pete had an appointment about 30 minutes away at 9 am. He leaves in our old car (an important foreshadowing point…), I have to fight with Claire to take a nap, and eventually I cry because Pete is so much better at getting her to sleep than I am. After all that, I finally call my go-to person, Tony – aka my Mom's boyfriend (though I'm not supposed to call him that, sorry, Mom) and the person who probably thinks I should not own a home due to my inability to take care of these things. Tony guessed it was the ice maker so said to have Pete pull out the fridge when he got home and call him back. All right. Good plan. Until….
Pete goes to leave his appointment and the car won't start. Did I mention that this was his last day of an amazing 12 week paternity leave? Yeah. He was not too keen on being stuck away from home. So he called AAA but they had to tow the car because it wouldn't re-start (the battery was just replaced a couple weeks ago so I suppose in some strange way it's good that wasn't the problem? I don't know. I'm grasping at straws. I think that would have probably been better.) OK. So Claire and I have to now hop in the car and go get Pete from the mechanic. It's not even noon and this day is not going so well. All the while we're gone I'm getting more and more stressed about the kitchen floor/leak situation.
Are you still with me? It's only 2:30 in the afternoon at this point. And the story goes into the next day too!
Tony was near our house so he meets us there. They pull out the appliances, check underneath them, and still can't find the leak anywhere. We finally decide we'll check with our neighbors and see if anyone else is experiencing any issues. And then, on his way out, Tony realized it was the hot water heater. On the other side of the kitchen, not in it. 50 gallons of water leaking down into the floor, pooling in the kitchen, and potentially about to burst all over our condo. Awesome.
Paranoid of that last scenario, we empty the tank into the tub (and then later over our balcony) using our building's garden hose.
Oh, and the car? Super expensive to fix. But out of sight, out of mind for the moment.
Tony comes today with a guy to replace the water heater. They can't move it because it had filled back up even though we thought we turned it off. Apparently turning on any water back fills it (or something?) I didn't know that. I go to get the hose again and can't get into the room it's stored in. The key that worked the night before doesn't now. My only guess is that the door wasn't actually closed all the way so opened when I pulled it. I run around the building trying to find someone to let me in all the while leaving sleeping Claire in Tony's hands if she were to wake up. Which is fine, he's actually really cute with her, but if she did wake up she was likely going to want to eat. Stat. I don't like this part of the day. I'm annoyed we thought it was done and annoyed I can't quickly get the hose.
Finally find a neighbor, get the hose, they get the tank drained again, and replace it. We should finally be done, right? No. Now one of the pipes going into the tank is leaking. Corroded, needs to be replaced. Claire, miraculously, is still sleeping. I keep checking on her to make sure she's alive. Seriously, she never sleeps more than an hour at a time these days (another issue for another day) and this is pushing two. Tony goes to get a new pipe and replaces it.
He needs to leave for another appointment but the water won't turn on at the kitchen sink. Or the master bathroom. So now he's back, Claire is still sleeping (about to hit three hours), and Pete is home early from work. The muck from the pipes clogged the pipes and/or fixtures. Tony fixed what he had time for and will be back tomorrow for the other one.
And now, you'll remember this all started with a bubbly floor. Guessing that water was still stuck underneath, Pete pulled up the warped boards so everything can dry out. The good news is we know where to get more (ha!) and hopefully we can find someone to come put them in quickly. I'm ready for this saga to be over. Have I mentioned I don't particularly like chaos?
The amazing thing is, after a bit of initial processing and the part about running around the building for a key, I've taken this all pretty well. It's a bit overhwelming and rather expensive but it will all be fixed. And tomorrow will be another, hopefully less eventful, day. I think the moral of the story is really just to never, ever try to budget or look at our finances again. ;)
