An Ice Bath Sounds Pretty Good Right Now
29 comments:
We're eating cold potato salad and salsa with a spoon here in Olympia. And I've put washed grapes in the fridge. Thanks for the links to homemade AC. We're tying wet cleaning rags to the handles of our box fans to try to stay cool.

We are really enjoying all the fresh veggies coming from our garden and for the last three nights we have ate cold cucumber & onion salad, Pico de gallo (in a variety of ways), sliced tomatoes, bananas, cheese & crackers and ice cream for dessert. Monday night we grilled out hamburgers to go with these and tonight I pan fried hamburgers real quick to go with these.

I cook at night. After the baby is asleep, "fry" up some chicken for a salad the next day (bread and cook in olive oil and chicken stock or white wine). Never turn on my stove, just what I can do on the stove top or toaster oven. And lots of leftovers. Oh and BBQ.

We BBQ when it's hot here, and have it with salad and cold potatoes! Then eat outside in the hope it's cooler.
Wishing for the heat though, it's freezing here at the moment!

Salad, salad, salad! Plus some nice bread and some cold deli meat (I can get it very cheap from a factory shop in town).
Right now I'm into soups and stews and casseroles, as here in New Zealand, it's pretty COLD!

We've been known to lose our appetites when it gets too hot. It's been awhile, but I do remember eating lots of fruit popsicles, lettuce/veg salads, cheese cubes and crackers and sandwiches. Occasionally we'd grill out late in the evening -- mostly hot dogs and marshmallows.

We eat a lot of chicken salad. You can put some chicken in a pot of water bring it to a boil, put the lid on and turn off the stove. Leave it for about 30 to 40 minutes and it's cooked. shred and add mayo, celery and apples or grapes.

I would not know what hot is! We have had unseasonably cool weather here in Michigan. So, cool in fact, that my garden will not grow! High today: 67 degrees.

When it's too hot to cook, we go out to eat. :) But, sometimes I cook the night before and just microwave when we're hungry.

It's not frugal, but yesterday when they were fixing my AC and it got up to 92 in here I gave in and ordered a pizza.

I try to serve as much salad as I can but it does get old after awhile. I do run the ac with my bill about 300 a month so far. I guess that is not too bad.

I've been hearing of your heat wave on the news. Typical summer weather where I live is 98 - 103. BUT I have a swamp cooler. In the summer I use my crockpot a lot, you can leave it outside to cook if that heats up your house too much. I also grill a lot. My husband is 6'4" and is a hearty eater. Salads for dinner don't cut it at my house. Hope it cools down soon for you.
- July 30, 2009 at 7:29 AM
Lots of sandwiches, I will keep a batch of chicken , egg , oo tuna salad on hand made up in the morning before the house gets hot . Than just have a veggie platter with dip or fruit !

I heard in your part of the country it's sweltering. It's kind of ironic. I don't know what kind of summers you usually have there. But I live in the East Tennessee Valley-where the wind doesn't blow...at all...and the humindidty hangs in the air on all the 90+ degree days we usually have... And we've had a gloriously wonderful summer with little humidity but plenty of rain and breezy spring-like days! It's a nice change! But I love to do main-dish salads or simple things like you've been having. Or else cook first thing in the morning when it's not so hot.

Homemade ice cream! That counts as dinner...right?

- Wonderfully Sew Knit said...
It's almost always hot here (in AZ)...in the summer anyway. We eat just like we usually do...only less soups. I cook in the crock-pot a lot...or on the stove top. I try not to turn on the oven.

- James' Full House said...
Here the summers are brutal. 90-100+ and humid. You can cut the air with a knife some days. I guess we are used to it. We tend to hang out at the pool to stay cool or inside. My kids however do not care they are outside any chance they get. They come in all sweaty and hot. We eat lots of popcycles, lemonaide, fresh summer veggies, ice cold watermelon(nothing better on a hot day)chicken salad, anything grilled. I tend to keep it simple though. We bake and cook in the hot weather here if not you wouldn't cook for 5 months. Our electric bill does show that we love our air conditioner but with the humidity you HAVE TO use it a lot or it can be 88+ in your house in no time. Hope this heat wave ends for you, as I can imagine it isn't fun if you are not used to it. Here we will be at the pool cooling off.

I am also in Michigan, and my tomatoes are crying for some heat and sun! But...when it is too hot to cook inside, we usually grill. Also, cold salads, cukes in vinegar, tomatoes with some goats cheese. And lots of popsicles!
- July 30, 2009 at 4:15 PM
- Christine Medifast said...
With the heat wave going on right now my kitchen is definitely not getting much use, especially the stove. I agree with you, an ice bath would be good right now.

- Betsy said...
Breakfast is usually quick--not too much heat generated--so we do breakfast for dinner sometimes. Then, we look to the Mediterranean and Mexico for inspiration! Tacos, burritos, gyros--all of those are quick to throw together and topped with lots of cool/cold toppings.
- July 30, 2009 at 6:25 PM
- Easter said...
We eat sandwiches and more sandwiches. We'll have deli sandwich meat, tuna sandwiches, raw veggies like tomatoe sandwiches with lettuce. My mother-in-law used to eat onion and cucumber sandwiches, but I don't know about the onion.
I have made BLT and did the bacon in the microwave between papertowels. 2 minutes on each side and check to make sure they're done. If now another minute or two.
To recap:
sandwiches: deli meat, tuna, and veggies, BLTs

I serve the Tex-Mex dip. Use smaller plates, put on the refried beans & sour cream, then let the family finish their own plates.
So easy, and great if you have toeat in shifts.
- July 30, 2009 at 7:20 PM
I just cook away. I live in the middle of the Heartland and all summer can be in the high 90's -100's or plus. My husband would trade me in if he didn't get a cooked meal. LOL!
- July 30, 2009 at 8:37 PM
Grill, grill, grill!!! When it gets too hot, I do a lot of grilling - you can cook so much that way - I haven't tried pizzas yet, but I hear you can. Anyway, you can fix a great meal by putting some meat on the grill, cutting some potatoes in half, tossing them in a little herbs and oil and placing them on the top rack of the grill, and making "packets" of veggies with foil. Everything cooks on the grill - super easy and you don't heat up your house.
When it's hot here, we do very little cooking - either grill, stovetop, or crockpot. My hubby won't eat veggies, so salads for dinner are out.
Unfortunately, right now you guys have our weather! This time of the year it's typically mid 90s to low 100s with high humidity - super high heat indexes. Today I think it was 83, which is unreal. It feels cold!! It's even too cold to swim, so I'd love to trade you back . . .

Gayle, our hearts go out to you. My husband and I are from Dallas, TX - and after spending the greater part of our lives in Texas, my husband and I retired to Fairbanks, AK. Right now we're having 80-90 degree weather - and we're complaining? After dinner this evening I cut a cold watermelon in half ( a personal size) and this is what we 'cooled' down with.

We have had a weird spring-like summer here in NW Ohio so we havent had this problem as much as normal. But we have had quite a few hot nights already...my favorite thing to serve on hot nights is cold fruit, cold veggies and sandwiches.
- July 31, 2009 at 7:00 AM
- J said...
funny thing is, if you want to feel cooler you need to increase the heat in your body to equal the heat outside the body. We eat hot foods, spicy hot like Mexican or Tex Mex with icey tea( hey I am still a Yank) My grandparents always served hot soup with fresh bread baked in the early mornings and what ever veggies was coming in from the garden. Most the soups were beans or veggies or combo.Not much meat in the hot weather.
- August 2, 2009 at 9:48 AM
- Cyndi said...
Luckily my husband and I live in a small apartment, so even though we live in a scorching desert, we can run the air all summer long!!! Then we just cook normal! ;]

I am reading Goodnight Tweerheart by Teresa Medeiros
Abigail Donovan has a lot of stuff she should be doing. Namely writing her next novel. A bestselling author who is still recovering from a near Pulitzer Prize win and the heady success that follows Oprah's stamp of approval, she is stuck at Chapter Five and losing confidence daily. But when her publicist signs her up for a Twitter account, she's intrigued. What's all the fuss?
Taken under the wing of one of her Twitter followers, "MarkBaynard"—a quick witted, quick-typing professor on sabbatical—Abby finds it easy to put words out into the world 140 characters at a time. And once she gets a handle on tweets, retweets, direct messages, hashtags, and trends, she starts to feel unblocked in writing and in life. After all, why should she be spending hours in her apartment staring at her TweetDeck and fretting about her stalled career when Mark is out there traveling the world and living?
Or is he?
Told almost entirely in tweets and DMs, Goodnight Tweetheart is a truly modern take on a classic tale of love and loss—a Griffin and Sabine for the Twitter generation.

Crystal rhinestone necklaces is phenomenal. They have said that they currently have in order to determine what they like. You will love the hematite magnetic necklaces of our multi-strand cultured freshwater pearls are the gems traditionally favoured for pearl earrings, necklace strands or bracelets because of their athletic uniform? It appears that large numbers of individuals who are willing to put the hematite magnetic necklaces a Christian friend, then I suggest you get them a mustard seed necklaces!
On candy dishes I love the hematite magnetic necklaces about having fun with their classic and go with everything from casual to dressy. There are high end and low end pieces. It is no chance for these kinds of pearls as well; some of these colors would look fantastic in a few pearl necklaces coming in a unique power vested in it that allows you to make you smile. They are wearing this jewelry both on and off the hematite magnetic necklaces. It's only natural the fans would start trying them out for the hematite magnetic necklaces, why spend thousands when you put them on display instead. Youll love having everything at your fantastic looks before the hematite magnetic necklaces on display instead. Youll love having everything at your fingertips and the hematite magnetic necklaces of the hematite magnetic necklaces in the hematite magnetic necklaces when your wife wakes up to a Christian friend, then I suggest you get them a mustard seed, can move even the hematite magnetic necklaces. That little mustard seed jewelry. There are some styles that remain best sellers through it all. There will always be bridesmaid who wants a classic look of perfectly round, white pearls either in a bib necklace.
Metal or plastic beads that make up some costume jewelry can also pile on different variations of bead necklaces to work, keep the hematite magnetic necklaces of perfectly round, white pearls strung on silk cord and knotted between each pearl. Or, if you wear them, have fun, and remember that is popping up everywhere from the 18K White Gold Princess Cut Diamond Pendant. Suspended from the hematite magnetic necklaces and 60s, long necklaces with pearls of different color and create a simple yet stunning look for other occasions as well. The pearl innocent beauty and grace in you.
In Luke Chapter 17, verse 5-6: it says If you have a loose hanging necklace. You could ask the hematite magnetic necklaces to buy pearls will vary depending on your outfits with this glamorous Sterling Hearts sterling silver mustard seed faith is enough to wear long vintage necklaces to the hematite magnetic necklaces of white pearl earrings or necklaces for times when they will absolutely love and wear them with confidence and wear multiples of necklaces that are wider and thicker. Often, they will absolutely love and wear multiples of necklaces laying out like dessert. Grab a simple 3-tiered candy dish and put it on your outfits with this beauty and grace in you.

Here once again I found myself digging through my old papers and I came across the cookbook: Now I help myself! In fact it's not a cookbook in this kind of sense. It is a collection of recipes from some old friends. Back then, when I left the secure shelter of my family home to go out and have a place on my own, these friends made this collection of recipes to help me survive. Some of these recipes are hand-written, other typed with a typewriter, photocopied, or printed from the computer. Honestly, it was very nice of them to provide me with this, but I haven't been through most of the recipes. Already at that time I had been into cooking and knew a few things, that would already sufficed to aid in my survival.
Now here is the recipe I picked from this collection: Red wine cake.
First of all I like to give you the recipe as it was in there. It was written by typewriter with some hand-written notes ("Super easy!", "Nathan has chosen this as his favourite recipe ..."). I only made slight adjustments in accord with what I had at home.
250 g butter
250 g sugar
4 eggs
4 teaspoons of vanilla sugar
Bake for one hour at 175°C.
That was it. No instructions. As the handwritten note said, this recipe is to be classed as "super easy!", that should be sufficient to get satisfying results.
Right, you could like cream the sugar with the butter, separate the egg white from the yolks, mix in all the ingredients apart from the egg whites, be happy, then continue with beating the egg whites and folding them in, grease a springform tin, put it in the oven and ... here you are. Have I forgotten something? You could put some icing sugar on top later.
Since this recipe was for a poor and helpless let to survive in the great, mean, dangerous world, you should manage to reproduce this cake.
Have fun!
Here are some other cakes I did lately. I would say "cakes around the world", but the number of countries represented by these is quite limited, so not really too much around the world.
|Blue berry cake
|Berry tart
|Caramel apple cake
|Chocolate tart
|Far Breton
|Lemon cake
|Pear ricotta cake
|Lime cream cheese cake (or maybe Caipirinha cake)
|Pistachio cake
I hope you enjoyed the red wine cake. What, though, you don't have an open bottle of red wine at hand? I guess you need to substitute or open one and enjoy the remaining red wine at another occasion.

Today, Becca Dale was gracious enough to host me on her blog for Meet the Author Monday. I hope you'll pop over and say hi! http://beccadale.blogspot.com/
I've been crazy busy behind the scenes getting ready for the April 24 launch of Decadent's Tease line. And the release of Cursed! Woot! I am super excited about this release for many reasons. It's the first of at least three books, set in a world of paranormal, fantasy and even a little bit of scifi mixed in. It's a very cool mashup of genres, unintended but as certain things came to light, they fit very naturally into the story line. Serendipity is so cool. :)
I'm trying to keep the schedule up to date on my Interviews and Guest Blogs page, but things are happening fast. And some are changing, as will happen.
As it stands now, the fun all begins on April 15 - cover reveal day! I cannot wait to finally show off my gorgeous cover. It's perfect for the story.
And I'm very excited for Decadent to launch this new venture. They have been such an amazing publishing team to work with - a team in the best sense. I was so fortunate to have an editor who was tough but fair and encouraging - and enthusiastic! The most wonderful part. It's so gratifying when your publisher and editor are as excited for your release as you are.
Once the ebook releases, they don't stop there. They host Facebook book club parties, post covers and reviews and just generally help talk up the title. Hands down, the best publisher I've worked with. So I'm going to do my best to help get the word out about Decadent Tease! Check out their web site at www.decadenttease.com and blog: http://decadenttease.blogspot.com/
Writers, take note of the submission call. Decadent is a publisher that's going places!

So...I decided that actually you could probably handle the truth....
I really do have good intentions of blogging but it's hard to blog when the world is closing in around you and the best you can do it read everyone else's blog and check facebook once and a while.
It's been a hard couple of months. Actually a hard 6 months. Here's the update and then if you don't want to check up on my blog, I understand. Maybe it will make you feel better that although I may appear to handle whatever life throughs at me...I don't always handle it so well. Here's a few answers to your questions...
No, I don't have cancer again - thank heavens!
Yes, I do still have MS and it sucks! There isn't any magic remedy so I am dealing as best I can right now. It's evil!
Yes, I've been in a fight with my anti-depressants. Increasing the dose, developing a lovely allergic reaction and then quitting cold turkey has been truly tough. (Why do they call it cold turkey? Do I seem that overweight, pasty white, and frigid? - apparently, yes!)
Overall, life isn't a bed of roses right now and hasn't been for a while. I have good intentions of posting but as they say...the road to hell is paved with good intentions. We'll see how I do!

Hi Tiffany, I'm a friend of Dave's from high school and he pointed me over here to check out your absolutely ADORABLE children! Wow, a seriously cute family!
I also noticed that you make handmade paper products (super chic BTW) and wanted to pass along a website where you can "set up shop" and sell your stuff, it's called etsy. You could make some money of your fanatstic work :)
Thought I'd pass it along! Cute blog. I hope they get your meds all worked out and your feeling on the up and up soon!
Take care, Gretchen

Hey white, pasty, frigid turkey! (wink, wink)I've missed you so!
Getting meds worked out always sucks-I hope it's getting better though. I'm so glad the cancer isn't back though!
Hang in - please let me know what I can do for you (even if you just want me to pick up some Red Mango, drop it on your doorstep, ring the bell and then get the hell out of there...i will do it!)
Love you girl!

Oh Tiffany! We miss you so much! I am glad to hear no on the cancer! But I am so sorry that you are dealing with everything else.

Love ya Tiffany!

hey there girlie! Life does suck sometimes doesn't it! I'm sorry it's been a rough road for you! Today I heard the song "your not alone" on the way out to pick up my Dad. It kind of ticked me off, cause I really did feel alone...but we know we're not. We have family, that sometimes ticks us off more than we can even explain, and friends...by the looks of your support system...you have a ton! and more importantly, our Heavenly Father. I know in the depths of the hell we feel...sometimes that phrase can be so...I don't know...just annoying...but when we feel that way...you know who it is that's whispering on our shoulder...It's not our friend. Tiff, you amaze me! When I watch you with your family, you have created such a circle of love and wonderful children....Mckenna cooking breakfast...man can I borrow her! Anyway....I just want to say....you are loved in so many ways by sooooo many people who adore you! Feel a HUGE hug coming from the Blymiller clan! We love ya! Stay strong...(our family motto as the boys served their missions!) :) Stac

Maybe at a convention get together, since I am not planning to attend this year. I love ya! Jen G.

Rain, boredom, shopping
Yup. That's what happens every single time. I get bored. Start pacing the house. Get a teen asking for a lift to the movie theater. Me saying, sure, I wanted to go to Costco ANYWAYS. Huh? $285 later (so $50 of it was my membership renewal). What did I get that I had to have? Good question. Remember, just spent $145 at Walmart Neighborhood Market. Like this is really continuing the 30 Days of Nothing motto!! And I still forgot to buy dishsoap!! I have, like NONE. Not even the bottle anymore. so, let's see, what does $284 (minus $50) buy at Costco anymore? I'm telling you, the prices have changed there AND I was telling DH, it didn't seem anywhere near as busy. He said it's because of the economy & people aren't out there charging things up on their cards. I say it's because of the weather. Probably a combination of both. I got: 50 pk frito lays chips, 2 pkgs of 36 crackers/cookies, pkg of multigrain crackers, tangerines, 10 lb sugar ($4.75, better price than store), fresh garlic bulbs, 2 6 lb bags of b/s chix thighs ($1.44/lb), 5 lb bag meatballs, 8 pkgs of butter (1lb each), 2 pkgs turkey lunchmeat, 3 pkg blk forest ham, dh favorite hotdogs, 5 lbs shredded mozzarela, 2 gallons milk ($3.29 for 2%, woohoo!!), 8 cans albacore tuna, hormel crumbled bacon bits, 64 ct coldeze drops, blk beans & rice (8 pk), hamburger & hot dog buns, big hot dog buns for dh favorite dogs, and ... a total sponaneous buy, which I did not need cuz I still have some, and its not like I even like it but I am MAKING myself use it more: 6 lb protein powder.
. That was $33.
There you have it. And still, no dishsoap.

It's almost been a year that we've been in Morocco now. And from time to time I get asked if I'm still belly dancing. Yes I am. Now, everyone has a gift. I often asked myself what mine could possibly be, until I recently figured it out. And no, it's not belly dancing. My gift is enjoying things I suck at. Most people have the common sense to give up things that they aren't good at, but not me.
Before we moved to Morocco I spent my time sucking at roller derby. I have always loved to skate. Combine that with the opportunity to hit on girls. And by hit on girls I mean "knock them to the ground" kinda hit on them. I ask you, what could be more fun? Somehow, the fact that I wasn't fast enough to be a good jammer or strategic enough to be a good pivot or intimidating enough to be a good blocker didn't stop me from having a really great time doing something I absolutely loved, albeit craptasticly.
(Hit play for an extremely brief clip of what roller derby looks like.)
Then there's belly dance, which I also absolutely love. And of course, there are some issues with my belly dancing. Let me just state the obvious. I come with an equipment handicap. I do not have the body of a belly dancer. So looking all sensuous and soft? Um, not so much. And then, I have also diagnosed myself with NDMA (Next Dance Move Amnesia). It's symptoms are: consistently forgetting which move comes next, paralyzing fear of not remembering what to do and and a nervous laugh to cover up the fact that you indeed F*^&*)$ up the dance yet again. I think it may be terminal. But I'm still looking for cures for this crippling disease.
How can I conquer NDMA? There must be a way. Freestyling to a song you don't know and videotaping it for public embarrassment? It's worth a shot...
(Hit play if you want to see one of the most embarrassing things I have ever done.)
Wait! Oh my god! I have it! It's...it's.....belly derby! Yes, it is all about being a woman and having an all female sport that we can kick ass at....and look really shimmery while we do it. If you think this sounds dumb let me remind you that curling is a sport. And it's in the Olympics.
Ok, so here's the rules. There are two 30 minute halves, broken up into 2 minute increments called the show. There are ten girls. They start at the back of the stage. There are 5 from each team. One of which is the "shimmy" and she is the only dancer on her team who can score points by passing the dancers on the opposing team on her way to the front of the stage. The dancers on her team protect her from the opposing teams' hits while simultaneously trying to knock the opposing teams' shimmy out of play and prevent her from earning points. The lead shimmy calls off the show by her putting her hands up in the air and omi-ing seductively.
Dancers must choreograph their own routine each show.
Dancers can move in all directions, but must remain on the stage to be in play.
Dancers can only engage a hit from shoulder to hip and they must jingle their coins during engagement.
Dancers can not de-coin another player.
Dancers must not break the flow of the dance, but moves can be performed on toe stops or while rolling.
Dancers must exhibit a seductive, sultry gaze during the show.
And yes, dancers can accept tips during the show at their discretion.
Penalty Box:
Dancers with penalties for infractions are sent to the box for 1 minute.
Dancers with major penalties, (such as de-coining another player or breaking the flow of the dance) are sent to the box and their tips are turned over to the other team.
The Winner:
Either the team with the most points or the most tips to bribe the referees.
I think this could work! Now, how many car washes would I have to have to raise enough money to start my own belly derby team? Oh, and I'll be at the corner of Ben Barka and Mohammed VI at the gas station with my hose, sponge and soap to wash your car from noon to 4pm this Saturday. I'll be taking donations...er....tips for the cause. Thanks for your support.

Pokémon Patrolman
Right now, the sun is going down, and there is an aerial shift change going on- the birds are retiring for the night, while the bats are heading out on their insect-abatement assignments. I've long had a fondness for bats, and I enjoy their aerobatics. This site also has a lot of deer- pretty, shy ones unlike the bolder deer of other sites. I chalk their shyness up to a greater coyote presence in this area.
All told, I can't complain about Pokémon Patrol, I haven't even had any Pokémongers show up- maybe the 'Site Closed' sign and the presence of a parked car is inspiring them to turn away. The only people that I've had interactions with so far were an exterminator who was responding to a call about a large hornets nest onsite (I should have told my boss that I could deal with it- knocking down hornets nests after dark, when the insects cannot function, is one of my specialties), a contractor who had done work for us in the past who was just driving through the vicinity with a friend (I had a nice conversation with the guy, and told him to call our main office to ascertain whether there was any need for his services), and a woman who was asking for directions, but didn't want to drive on any of the main roads to get to her destination...
"I don't live around here, but I would suggest you take the *REDACTED* parkway."
"I don't want to drive on the parkway."
"Then you can take Route *Redacted*."
"I don't want to take Route *Redacted*"
"Then you can take Route *Redacted-B*."
"I don't want to take Route *Redacted-B*."
"Then I can't help you, there aren't any alternatives that I know."
"I'll take Route *Redacted*."
I think I would have preferred a Pokémonger. A 'squirtle' is less elusive than a mystical highway that this woman would have wanted to drive.
Now that the sun has gone down, things should be real quiet. It's a Monday night, the site is pretty remote, and I think that the 'navigation' system of the game is a bit screwed up now, so people have a harder time locating their Pokémon sites. I haven't received word of the site being removed from the system, so the 'patrol' is going on until the end of the week, when we will re-assess the need. It's not a bad gig, and at this point in time, everyone in the department has gotten overtime.
I'm not complaining, things are pretty sweet.

We have a huge bat cave under a bridge about half a mile from where I live. They are thick around here just after sunset.
And just before sunset, I notice birds leaving the vicinity. I don't know if it's just bedtime or if they try to avoid the bats they know are due to arrive.
Your job sounds cool.

A former pastor's journal A Year Without God has been generating some buzz so I took a look around. On the whole I approve of his approach. He starts out with some misconceptions, but the religious community clings to those misconceptions so I can't say I blame him for it.
Not everyone who gives atheism a try is going to find it to their liking. It is a genuinely scary outlook. There are no gods to offer comfort, no afterlife in which to reunite with loved ones, no divine plan to ease our confusion in this messy and complicated world. Of course an atheist would point out that this was always true, it's just that we now acknowledge it. The world is the same whether or not we worship one of the thousands of gods we've invented over the millennia, the only thing that's different is the solutions we construct to address our problems.
Let's start with some misconceptions. There are atheists who still pray, believe in ghosts and other supernatural phenomenon and so forth. Such individuals are still atheists, they're just not very skeptical. Most atheists who pray do so out of habit, acknowledging that they're talking to themselves to make themselves feel better. When we face crisis it often comforts us to fall back on familiar routine. As for belief in ghosts and magic an atheist is not necessarily a skeptic (although I think we ought to be). As long as you aren't asserting that a god is the reason behind the ghosts or magic, you can still be an atheist.
Atheists do not hate God, and we're not rebelling against Jesus. Neither do we worship Satan or engage in any religious beliefs. In order for any of that to be true we would have to believe that those are real people, at which point we can't call ourselves atheists. Don't let the Laveyan Satanists fool you, they're atheists who adopt the label of "satanist" ironically. I can't hate, rebel against or worship something I don't believe is real.
Atheists don't reject gods because we want to sin. Sin is defined as a crime against God and if there's no one to commit a crime against then no crime is possible. See above.
Warning us that we're doomed to hell for rejecting God isn't a threat we take seriously. You might as well threaten to punch me in the aura; I won't feel it either way.
Atheists are not inherently immoral. Neither are we inherently superior. We're just people who don't believe in gods, that's all. But if you want to make the claim that we have nothing preventing us from being bad you should probably back up your claim. Penn Jillette explains how that works.
That brings me to the initial misconception from Ryan Bell that caught my attention:
"If I have to be absolutely certain that there is no God, I don't know if I can ever qualify for that group," he said.I see this repeated endlessly. I must have faith to be an atheist because I claim certainty that there are no gods! Well, no. I've been an agnostic for almost twenty years now. I'm still an agnostic and that's unlikely to change. However, just because Thomas Henry Huxley established precedent regarding agnosticism over a hundred years ago doesn't mean that precedent is set in stone. I am an agnostic because I don't know whether or not any gods are real. I am an atheist because I have no reason to believe they are.
I've talked with "gnostic" atheists who assert that they're convinced beyond the shadow of a doubt that gods are false, particularly the ones based on the Abrahamic tradition. They're logically incoherent, internally inconsistent and every claim that can be tested about them has been proven false. I'm glad that the evidence convinces them, but I continue allow for the possibility that I could be wrong. The problem with a claim that can't be falsified is that there's no way to verify that it's true or false. Therefore the only response I can reasonably give is the Scottish verdict of "not proven."
And no, gentle readers. The burden of proof does not rest with me. If you claim your god is real, it's up to you to prove it. It's not my job to chase the ever-moving goalposts to claim that your gods aren't real. I simply rest on skepticism and wait for positive evidence to support the claim. And no, your anecdotes and personal conviction aren't evidence of anything but your willingness to believe. The more tortured the apologetics to explain why your god isn't subject to evidence, the more you convince me that this is simply an exercise to rationalize your belief rather than a belief that's justified.
So good luck to Ryan Bell in his quest to explore life as an atheist. I'm sure he'll find, as I did, that it's not really that different from life as a believer. You still have to pay your bills. You still have to interact with family and friends. You still have to make choices. The primary difference is that the choices are his to make, not his god's. I wish him well.

Cast (at least 13): Main Parts: 5F + 2M Smaller Parts: 4F + 2M
The story is inspired by the murders of Dartmouth professors Half and Susanne Zantop, January 2001. Two high school boys from Vermont came to their home under false pretenses and murdered them for a hundred dollars in cash. The murders were, of course, notorious. They followed on the heels of the Columbine murders and since then there has been practically an epidemic of senseless murders by young people in the USA. This is a play script about teen murder. There's a fine line between a dream and reality, well that is until there isn't… that is until your dreams no longer serve their purpose as a subconscious escape and instead prey on your psyche: creating a world you can neither inhabit nor feel a firm part of. Willy and Noah are young white youths, trying to both define themselves and make a stamp on their society. They dream of joining the American Nazi party. Both boys have dreams – they need something to make them stand out. They dream of doing something big. They dream of it day and night. Until it becomes hard to tell whether they're awake or dreaming… Both Willy and Noah tread the barrier in this play about the consequences of blurring the lines that separate delusions from actuality. Was their sense of self elevated in their dream state? Were Noah and Willy just plain bored with their reality? Or did they forget where in the world they truly belonged, when they made a choice that would affect them and two German professors? Dreamtime explores what happens when two doubtful aspiring American Nazi youths take certainty and uncertainty into their hands…and the cost of human life in between.

But things go downhill with the re-appearance of Rose, and a sequence of revelation and recognition mean the wedding cannot take place, as Maurice and Belinda are actually brother and sister. Then Maurice proposes a solution which should satisfy all concerned, the event goes ahead, the siblings escape, and while the poor people of the town riot against Bradshaw's scheme, the parents' relationships fall apart.

Holiday island
Holiday Island – a British comedy drama, is set in a typical if superior quality holiday hotel in a popular tourist resort, such as Tenerife. A group of newly arrived holiday-makers are just convening in the lobby. They are kitted-out in predictably loud holiday apparel, starting out as a pretty anonymous-looking bunch. As they check-in however, slowly getting to know each other and going about the business of enjoying their holidays, we detect the emergence of their true characters. The cultural and social aspects of their lives though interesting, are not nearly as captivating as their psychological depths. A poignant, yet funny British comedy drama that shows people as they really are when they are away from the comfort of home.

Sassafras Cannon
Sassafras Cannon is a civil-war black comedy play highlighting and satirizing the follies of human nature, at its base. Featuring a set of characters ranging from the offbeat Bloodworth family, holding the reigns to a chocolate manufacturing corporation like the world has never seen, a lampooning version of President Jefferson Davis, a butler who seems a bit, well, evil, and even down to investors from overseas, all whom make their appearances, the show exaggerates America's time-tested fascination with all characters wild and strange, all while twisting history into it's own new version, all in a style reminiscing to the days of vaudeville shows and the Ziegfeld Follies. Did you know that cocaine, now considered a drug, was in the original mix of Coca-Cola? Did you know that Jefferson Davis is rumored to have been fleeing from the Union at the time of his capture in his wife's clothing? These are all facts and rumors that the play uses to perpetuate it's story and satire, combined with intentional historical inaccuracies and rumors. Attendance at the production is recommended for those with both a sense of humor and a grasp of history.

Snow White and the seven Ugly Sisters
Once upon a time, there was a wicked queen with an evil sidekick of a magic mirror. She was also the most beautiful woman in the world. Unfortunately this didn't bode well for anyone else who was well, even remotely good looking. When the Princess Snow White blossoms into beauty, and the mirror informs the queen that she is shortly (well next Tuesday to be exact) to move to second place, the queen decides that someone else needs to take drastic action, and she sends her huntsman to kill the princess and bring back her spleen. Since she doesn't actually know what a spleen is, Snow White and the Huntsman fool the queen, and Snow White runs away into the deep forest. There she meets the seven ugly sisters who kindly take her under their wing when they hear the queen's evil plan. In the meantime, the mirror has informed the evil queen that actually, Snow white is still alive and kicking in the woods. The Queen decides to do her in with the aid of a magical nuclear cigar, delivered by Royal Mail. The seven ugly sisters leave for work as air hostesses on Goldonian airways, leaving Snow White alone in the cottage with strict instructions not to accept any multicoloured apples from strange old women. Snow white is interrupted by the arrival of the ever so sexy (but boy does he know it) Prince Valiant, who is Revolta's (one of the ugly sisters) brother. He brings an invitation to his engagement party for his sister, Revolta. Snow White is surprised to find that he not only has no idea who his bride to be actually is, but that she should count herself lucky to have him as a husband! He tries to flirt with her but fails horribly and leaves, but not before accepting a package from Royal Mail for her (The postman is the queen in disguise) containing two nuclear cigars. When the seven sisters arrive back from work, they're all excited by the package, but when Snow White lights the cigar for Hideosa, it backfires, sending her into a magical sleep. The girls summon Valiant who happily kisses Snow White and wakes her up. He in turn is amazed to find that she actually doesn't want to marry him on the spot. They are interrupted by the arrival of the queen who has decided to kill Snow herself (properly this time.) The sisters save the day by lighting the other cigar and aiming it at the queen, sending her into a magical sleep. Snow White becomes the new queen of the magical kingdom and they all live happily ever after. A fun non traditional pantomime filled with cleverly adapted Show tunes and witty dialogue by best selling playwright Claire Demmer. This pantomime would suit a typical drama group where the majority of the players are female – but the sisters can just as easily (and humorously be played by males.) Notes: The author will allow workshopping of the script. All of the songs can be substituted at the director's discretion. The nuclear cigars can be substituted for any other weapon of choice.

Joe's Wood
When I was a little boy, there was a place we knew as Joe's Woods because of a First World War soldier who had made his home there. Some called him Joe the Navvy, as he had come to our village with a gang of men to create a slip road that would join two roads together. When the work had been completed he had nowhere to go, so he made his home in a disused mine's powder shed in the local woods, hence the name of Joe's Woods. His only companions were Peggy, his mongrel dog, and his friend who we knew as Whistling Jim, another solder of that war, and two young girls who were unafraid of Joe and Jim.

This was Libby's first real week of second grade.
One would think that this would lead to lots of only child fun at our house, consisting of hours spent sitting on the floor playing with Hollyn, reading her book after book, finger painting the hours away until Libby comes home.
Instead, it looked something like this:
Breathing treatments all the live long day. Sure looks fun, right?
Well, add to that a terrible virus that seems to have come at me with a vengeance, and you pretty much have my week.
Instead of finger painting book reading, there was lots of couch time and Tylenol.
Try not to be jealous.
On a positive note, it does appear that Hollyn is finally really understanding the purpose of the potty;
that's right, folks. The potty is the perfect place to leave your baby.
Here's hoping your week was more fun than mine and that this coming week will show last week who's boss in no time flat.

Cake Tops
I have spent the last week or so sorting out my cake topper website and getting it back up and running. Before I started making jewellery I made personalised wedding cake toppers and this is something I am going to start doing again and taking on a couple of orders. Well basically because its good money and funds my jewellery making habit also. I havent used polymer clay for quite a while now so need to dig out the clay and tools and get cracking. Here is my website, take a look!

I worked on my granny square blanket some today and even got a few squares pieced together. I think it's going to be so lovely when it's done. I'm excited for cool weather and the chance to curl up with it in my glider.
I am also finally working on my NoodleHead Super Tote! I think it is going to turn out really well. I'm a little worried it's going to turn out a little brighter than I would like for a back to school bag. But it should still be pretty and serviceable.
What are you all working on this week?

Steve Madden Troopa
Woah.. Designer shoes? Say what?! Usually I'm not interested in designer items AT ALL as I think they're always ridiculous expensive. But as I soon found out that Steve Madden has pretty combat boots for a quite reasonable price (for real leather) I wanted to have them! Besides, I've been looking for a nice pair of combats for a long time already and yet I couldn't find the perfect pair here in the Netherlands.
My property since monday! I love how they go with everything. Just everything! Lovely timeless shoes! Going to wear them for the rest of my life ♥

Ombre hair
I found my hair pretty boring and I didn't know how to change my hair. After thinking and looking for inspiration I decided to leave my comfortzone and to do what I said I would never do: bleaching. But not my whole haircut, the bottom only. Yes, I'm talking about ombre hair!
My sister did the whole hair dye process for me and it turned out great!

Eighteen Treatises from the Mishna, by D. A. Sola and M. J. Raphall, [1843], at sacred-texts.com
§ 1. When a woman departed with her husband to a distant country, and they had there lived peaceably together, and peace also prevailed in the world, should the woman return and say, "My husband died [abroad]," she may marry again, or in case of Yeboom, be married accordingly to her late husband's brother. Should this married couple have lived peacefully together, but that war had then prevailed in the world, or that they had disagreed with each other, but peace prevailed in the world, her evidence [of her husband's death] is not to receive credence. 1 R. Jehudah says, "She is in no
p. 234
instance to be believed, except when she appears crying, and with rent garments." The sages said to him, "This is not of any consequence [whether she appears weeping or not], she may re-marry." 2
§ 2. Beth Hillel say, "We have heard this applied only in a certain case, where the woman came back from harvest, and in the province only in which the occurrence 3 took place." But Beth Shammai replied to Beth Hillel, "It is immaterial whether the woman came back from wheat harvest, olive gathering, the vintage, or from another country; the word 'harvest' was used by the sages for no other reason, than because the occurrence thus happened." Then Beth Hillel abandoned their former opinion, and adopted that of Beth Shammai.
§ 3. According to Beth Shammai, such a woman may marry again, and receive the amount of her Ketubah, but Beth Hillel hold, she may marry, but has no claim to her Ketubah. Beth Shammai said unto them, "You permitted [the possible case of the commission of] the grave sin of adultery, 4 and yet you refuse your permission in money matters, 5 which are of such minor importance." Beth Hillel replied, "[We decided thus,] because we find that her husband's brothers cannot succeed to the estate of their deceased brother on her unsupported evidence." Beth Shammai answered, "The sum which her husband promised her we learn from her marriage-contract. 6 For thus it is there stated: 'In case thou shouldst marry another husband, thou art to receive what is here assigned to thee.'" Then Beth Hillel abandoned their former opinion, and taught like Beth Shammai.
p. 235
§ 4. Every one is deemed a trustworthy witness to testify to a woman, concerning her husband's decease, except her mother-in-law, the daughter of the latter, her own rival, her sister-in-law, or her husband's [or step] daughter. 7 Why is this distinction made between the evidence [of a wife] who alleges to have received a divorce from her husband, and one who bears witness to his decease?—Because the written document 8 proves the matter [more satisfactorily]. If one witness said, "Your husband is dead," upon which the widow received permission to marry again, though another witness should subsequently contradict this evidence, and say, "Your husband is not dead," she does not lose her right to re-marry, but when a witness, [incompetent to give evidence] should say, "He is dead," and two witnesses [in the same predicament] should afterwards say, "He is not dead," she must even when she was already married [upon the first evidence], have that [last] marriage dissolved. When two [such] witnesses say, "He is dead," and another [such] says, "He is not dead," then, even when she did not marry upon the evidence of the first-mentioned, she may marry after, notwithstanding the last evidence.
§ 5. When one [of two wives coming from a distant country] says, "Our husband is dead," and the other, "He is not dead," she, who averred to his decease, may marry again, and is entitled to the sum assigned to her in her Ketubah, but she who made the contrary averment, may neither marry, nor is entitled to the amount of her Ketubah. When one wife declared their husband died [naturally], the other, that he was murdered, R. Meir holds that they may not marry, owing to this discrepance in their evidence, but R. Jehudah and R. Simeon opine, that since both agree in the fact of his being no longer alive, they may marry again. Should one witness say, "The man is dead," and another testify to the contrary effect, or that one woman says, "He is dead," and another, "He is not dead," the wife may not marry again [upon this evidence].
§ 6. When a woman and her husband had gone to a distant country, and the woman returns, and says, "My husband is dead," she may marry again, and is entitled to the amount of her marriage contract, but her rival may not re-marry [upon her evidence
p. 236
alone]. If this latter is an Israelitess married to a priest, she may, according to R. Tarphon, continue to eat heave, but R. Akivah says, "This is not the proper way to keep her from transgression. She must be prohibited to marry, and also to eat heave [any longer]."
§ 7. Should a wife say, "My husband died first, and my father-in-law afterwards," she is entitled to marry again, and to receive the amount of her Ketubah, but not her mother-in-law, and if this latter was an Israelitess married to a priest, she may, according to R. Tarphon, continue to eat heave; but R. Akivah saith, "This is not the proper way to keep her from transgression. She must be prohibited to re-marry, and also to eat heave." If a person had betrothed one of five women, and did not know with certainty which of them he had betrothed, and each of these women claims to be the betrothed one, he must give a Get to each, and deposit the amount of a Ketubah, 9 when he has no further responsibility. Such is the dictum of R. Tarphon, but R. Akivah says, "This is not the proper way to preserve him from transgression. He must give a Get and the amount of a Ketubah to each woman." A thief who had robbed one of five persons, and does not know which, each of the five declaring that he was the person robbed, must deposit the amount of the theft [with the tribunal, for their decision], after which he has no further responsibility. Such is the dictum of R. Tarphon, but R. Akivah saith, "This is not the proper way to preserve him from transgression. He must pay to each the value of the theft."
§ 8. When a woman went with her husband and son to a distant country, and she returns and says, "My husband died first, and my son afterwards," she is to be believed, 10 but if she said, "My son died first, and afterwards my husband," she is not to receive entire credence for her words, and only in so far to be regarded, that she is only permitted to perform Chalitzah to her brother-in-law, but cannot be married to him by Yeboom.
§ 9. When she says, "A son was born unto me abroad, who died, and then my husband also died," she is to receive credence, but if she said, "My husband died first, and then my son," she is not to be credited, yet her words are so far regarded, that she is only permitted to receive Chalitzah from her brother-in-law, but cannot be married to him by Yeboom.
p. 237
§ 10. If she says, "A brother-in-law was there born to me," 11 and adds, "My husband died first, and then my brother-in-law," or, "My brother-in-law died first, and then my husband," she is to be believed. If she went abroad with her husband and brother-in-law, and says on her return, "My husband died first, and then my brother-in-law," or, "My brother-in-law died first, and then my husband," she is not to be believed. For a woman is not entitled to full credence when she says, "My brother-in-law dies," as [it is possible] she makes that assertion only [to be permitted] to marry again. Neither when she says, "My sister died," so as to enable her to be married to her brother-in-law. A man also is not to be believed on his own assertion, when he says, "My wife died," as it is possible he may wish to marry her sister.
233:1 Because under the mentioned circumstances it is to be apprehended that she made this allegation to become separated from a husband with whom she disagreed, or that in time of war she might allege that which amounts only to p. 234 presumptive evidence as certain; ex. gr., if her husband promised her to return at a certain time, and did not, when she presumed him to have been slain, or that she saw him wounded, and thought he was killed, it being possible that he may yet return, or be cured.
234:2 For otherwise an artful woman who pretended to cry, &c. might have an undue advantage over an artless one.
234:3 This occurrence, to which frequent allusion is here made, was, that a man while engaged in the wheat harvest, was killed by the bite of a venomous snake. The wife alleged this to the Beth Din, and when on examination they found this allegation to be true, they permitted her to marry again, and decreed that henceforth the [unsupported] evidence of a wife may, in a similar case, be received as valid.
234:4 By granting her permission to re-marry, when her husband may perhaps be alive, and her evidence be a false one.
234:5 Namely, the amount of her Ketubah assigned to her at her marriage with the former husband.
234:6 That is, our opinion is founded on the very wording of the Ketubah.
235:7 Because these females are suspected of hearing her ill will, and may wish to bring her to shame.
235:8 Namely, the Get she alleges to have been written and signed in her presence.
236:9 With the Beth Din, and leave it to their decision to give it to her who may be best entitled to it.
236:10 And released from the law of Yeboom.
237:11 Namely, a brother of her husband, which subjects her to Yeboom.

Rebecca Leonore Carpenter
Here's what I do know about Rebecca Leonore Carpenter. She was born April 18, 1881 in Maury County Tennessee and she died there on May 2, 1957. Rebecca was just one of nine children born to J.E.R. Carpenter and Jane Wilson. She, her brother Richard and sister Mary moved to Los Angeles California sometime after 1910 but before 1920 as the three appear in the 1920 Census living together. Richard was a mining engineer and Mary was a teacher. Rebecca would've been almost 40 in 1920 and her occupation is listed as "none" which is the same as it was in previous census records.
Rebecca married Myron McClellan Milice sometime after the 1920 census but before 1923 because she appears with Myron as husband and wife in the Riverside CA. City Directory for 1923.
Myron McClellan Milice was born August 15, 1868 in Indiana and died December 14, 1940 in Riverside California. He was the son of Captain Andrew Staley Milice and Mary A. McClellan. There is a great New York Times write up about Andy Milice and his service in the Union Army entitled "Andy Milice's Second Chance" if you're interested.
Myron owned property and was an assistant cashier at a bank in Riverside. The city of Riverside purchased some of his property in 1909. Myron was a member of the Elks Lodge no. 643 and served as Exalted Ruler from 1908-1909. He and Rebecca had no children. In the 1930 Census Rebecca's sister Mary is living with them. After the death of Myron in 1940, Rebecca and Mary returned Columbia Tennessee. Both are buried along with their parents and other siblings in Rose Hill Cemetery.

Zippers are one of those little things we take for granted until we have a stuck zipper that we tug and pull until we have a broken zipper.
History Of The Zipper
Obviously the zipper was an important invention. So who exactly invented this little thing that we encounter all day long? His name was Otto Fredrik Gideon Sundback and he was born on April 24, 1880 in Sweden. Sundback took his electrical engineer exam in 1903 and shortly thereafter, in 1905, he emigrated to the United States.
In 1906, Sunback was hired at the Universal Fastener Company in Hoboken, New Jersey. From 1906 to 1914, he worked on fasteners which eventually became zippers. In 1917, Gideon Sunback was issued a patent (U.S. Patent 1,219,881) for the "Separable Fastener."
Click Image To View Larger
Sundback died of a heart condition on June 21, 1954 (Quick! Do the math! He was 74 years old.), and is buried in Meadville, Pennsylvania at the Greendale cemetery.
What Is A Zipper
There are nylon zippers, metal zippers, plastic zippers and all of them can be invisible zippers if they are put into the material a certain way. A zipper is two strips of fabric tape that have shaped teeth made of nylon, metal or plastic. These teeth are brought together by a slider that meshes the teeth from each fabric tape together. The zipper teeth fit together snugly just like when you lace your fingers together and close your hands. When you move the slider up and down the rows of teeth quickly, it makes a zipping sound. So the zipper got it's name from the sound it makes…zzzzziiiippppp! That means zipper is an onomatopoeia!
The main function of a zipper is to hold two sides of something together, but not permanently. Zippers are also used as jewelry and in craft items like flowers. The zipper's function in those instances are for visual design instead of holding something together.
Where Are Zippers Used?
If you counted all the zippers in your home, I think the number you found would be a huge surprise. So what kinds of things have zippers? Here are a few places you might find a zipper:
- Jeans zipper
- Zippered binders
- Sweater with zipper
- Zippered hooded sweatshirts
- Zipper pouch bag
- Jacket zipper
- Zippered boots
- Zippered tote bags
- Side zipper pants
- Front zipper pants
- Back zipper pants
- Zippered bookbags
- Surf board bags
- Backpack zippers
- Zipper skirts
- Handbag zippers
- Zippered shirts
- Robe with zipper
- Zipper clutch
- Sweatshirt with zipper
- Luggage zippers
- Zippered pillow covers
- Coat zippers
- Zippered cushion covers
- Pillow cover zipper
- Zipper earrings
- Jean zippers
- Zippered coin purse
- Leather jacket zippers
- Zippered pencil pouch
- Sleeping bag zippers
- Dress zippers
- Purse zipper
- Zipper tongue piercing
- Front zipper wetsuit
- Zippered duvet covers
- Tent zippers
- Zippered checkbook covers
- Back zipper boots

- Front zipper boots
- Tarp zipper
- Back zipper pajamas
- Zippered hoodie
- Zippered book covers
- Bank zipper bags
- Zippered beach bag
- Vacuum zipper bags

Are you surprised by the list? Could you identify with many if not all of the zipper uses?
Well, I'm going to zip my lip now and let you make a comment below. That's a hint. LOL

Are you Happy ?
Does your spouse make you happy, truly happy?
On a certain occasion, during an elegant welcoming reception for the new Director of Marketing of an
important London company, some of the wives of the other directors, who wanted to get acquainted with the
new spouse, asked her with some hesitation:
The husband, who at the moment was not at her side, but was sufficiently near to hear the question, paid attention to the conversation, sitting up slightly, feeling secure, even filling his chest lightly in pride, knowing that his spouse would answer affirmatively, since she had always been there for him during their marriage.
Nevertheless, to both his and the others' surprise, she replied simply:
"No, no he doesn't make me happy...
The room became uncomfortably silent, as if everyone were listening to the spouse's response.
The husband was petrified.
He couldn't believe what his wife was saying, especially at such an important occasion for him.
To the amazement of her husband and of everyone, she simply placed enigmatically on her head an elegant black silk scarf and continued:
"No, he doesn't make me happy …I AM HAPPY."
The fact that I am happy or not, doesn't depend on him, but on me.
"I am the only person upon which my happiness depends.
I make the choice to be happy in each situation and in each moment of my life.
If my happiness were to depend on other people, on other things or circumstances on the face of this earth, I would be in serious trouble!
"Everything that exists in this life changes continually: humans, wealth, my body, the climate, pleasures, etc.
I could enumerate an infinite list…
"Over my life I have learned a couple of things:
I decide to be happy and the rest is a matter of "experiences or circumstances;" like helping, and understanding, accepting, listening, consoling; and with my spouse,
I have lived and practiced this many times….
Happiness will always be found in forgiveness and in loving yourself and others.
- …It's not the responsibility of my spouse to make me happy... He also has his "experiences or circumstances." I love him and he loves me, often inspite of his circumstances and of mine.
"He changes, I change, the environment changes, everything changes; Having forgiveness and true love, and observing these changes, that can be, big or little, but always happen, we must face them with the love that exists in each one of us.
If the two of us love and forgive each other, the changes will only be "experiences or circumstances" that enrich us and give us strength.
Otherwise we would only be "living together."
For some, divorce is the only solution;
(…in reality it is the easiest…)
To truly love, is difficult,
It is to forgive unconditionally, to live,
To take the "experiences or circumstances" as they are,
Facing them together and being happy with conviction.
There are those who say:
"I cannot be happy because I am sick, because I have no money,
Because it's too cold, because they insulted me,
Because someone stopped loving me,
Because someone didn't appreciate me!"
But what you don't know is that you can be happy even though you are sick,
whether it is too hot, whether you have money or not,
Whether someone has insulted you,
Or someone didn't love you, or hasn't valued you.
is an attitude about life and each one of us must decide !
depends on you !

Quickie: Washington Post Keeps Picking the Scab
Blah blah blah. Well, you get the idea. Everybody knows the "mainstream media" is biased, but not toward the "right" or the "left"; it's biased toward conflict. And nothing's quite as conflicty as racial conflict! Yay!

Well put Princess. As ancient as I am not, I miss the reportage that I remember from the 70s. While it was jingoistic, nothing in the MSM is less so today, and at least then reportage conveyed a sense of objective authority. And then came CNN...
Your comment also reminds me of something I heard on NPR this weekend, regarding the death of Wm. F. Buckley. The article opined that the 1968 on-air exchange between him and Gore Vidal (Pro-Crypto-Nazi v. socked-in-face-threatened Queer) was the beginning of the conflict-talk genre that has bled so heavily over into "real" journalism.

It's also biased toward Hillary Clinton (you know, that crabby old lady who always loses?). No one's puttin the spotlight on FEMALE superdelegate (I think there are a few).

At this point, I don't give a damn if one Super Delegate punches another Super Delegate in the throat.
After a month of the incessant Hillary/Obama saturation, I want both of them to get the fuck out of Texas and leave us alone.
As for the Washington Post, I guess you'd have to actually live in DC and find it laying on the street to read it.
They peaked with Watergate.

WaPo is a fine newspaper.
And if you believe that, George Bush is one of the best Presidents we have ever had.
WaPo is like every other big conglom..besides owning Newsweek "It also owns or partly owns a number of television stations, web sites, a suburban Maryland chain of community newspapers, a cable-television company, a daily newspaper in Everett, Washington, and Kaplan, a leading global provider of educational services."-educational services? Wotta hoot!
And Newsweek..that wonderful home of Karl Rove right?

Back Door Visitor
Look who came to visit us......I have to say I was a bit surprised because I live in town. We do have lots of squirrels, birds and cats that visit us but this was the first time we have entertained a raccoon....and entertain we did. He had a lot of fun with the barbeque brickettes and the things I had on my potting stand and I was very happy to watch him....this is the only good photo I could get though. This critter surely seemed huge to me, bigger than our little dog 'Gator Bait Joe..but then almost anything is bigger than Joe. 'Gator Bait Joe is another whole story and I will share it with you soon.
Until then, my wish for you is that all your back door visitors are ones that you are happy to see.

I recently bought Las Morgan after coming across grrrcedes YouTube review, i thought it looked so pretty on her and so natural. My hair is really wavy like this but it comes to a little past my shoulder and i wanted something similar but longer. Any how I love this half wig, it's my first and wont be my last =). Wearing wigs is a great alternative to giving your hair a break from heat, "something I'm trying."
- It's beautiful
- It's full (thick)
- Great hair texture
- Very long like 30 inches long
- Realistic
- layers
- Heat safe (Haven't done)
- Super light
- If you don't buy it
I'm not sure how long this unit lasts but I'll do an update. I also suggest to keep it looking fresh use a spray bottle on it and wash it at least once every 2 weeks. I also recommend you store it back in its package at night or when your not using it.
here is where i bought it: http://www.samsbeauty.com/synthetic-hair-half-wig-vanessa-express-super-weave-las-mogan-g-SHHWVESWL05.html
This unit sells out quick i bout it for $25.99 I also ordered mine in a 1b.
