Rob Burbea - Emptiness, Postmodernism, and Sacred Participation
On this episode I'm joined once again by meditation teacher and author Rob Burbea. For this conversation Jamie Bristow and I talk with Rob about his approach to emptiness, and how it can be a route beyond postmodern nihilism and into a vibrant and sacred participation in the world. We talk about: An overview of the 'ways of looking' approach to emptiness, the participatory nature of perception & the world, how perception gets fabricated through our participation, the limitations of a purely cognitive deconstruction ala postmodernism, how Rob would define emptiness if asked about it at a cocktail party, How emptiness reveals a path beyond post-modernity, how hidden commitments limit our ability to explore perspectives, the unavoidability of participation and the impossibility of neutrality, the middle way between existence and non-existence, how this approach to emptiness offers a way forward in a 'post-truth' world, how your experience right now is constellated by your way of seeing (whether you know it or not), and the necessity of practice to realize the deeper dimensions of emptiness.

Mette Böll - Cultivating Generative Social Fields
This week I'm speaking with Mette Böll (Boell). Mette is a biologist by training, specializing in the evolution of complex social systems, mammalian play behavior and philosophy of nature. Mette has a Ph.D. in organizational ethology from the Center for Semiotics, Aarhus University, and holds additional degrees in contemplative leadership and the philosophy and history of science. She uses her training in these diverse areas to research how moods and feelings are transmitted in social relations and how the resulting relational fields in turn shape the larger systems human beings are parts of, with a particular focus on education. We talk about the study of social fields, generative vs. degenerative fields, the relationship between fields and systems, how generative fields create 'magical classrooms', the characteristics of a generative field, how the combination of systems science and systems sensing can help educate people to respond to the complex challenges of our world, and what generative fields in the K-12 education setting looks like, and the need to empower young people and get out of their way. Mette also shares inspiring stories from the early prototypes of this work in the American education system. Center for Systems Awareness

Tom Murray - Wisdom Skills
In this conversation Tom Murray and I explore Tom's model of 'Wisdom Skills'. In this model Wisdom Skills are made up of both the movement of complexification and development (ascending), and the movement of simplicity and subtraction (descending). We explore the relationship between simplicity and complexity in the development of wisdom, sort out some confusions about the relationship between spirituality and human development, why spiritual teachers 'do bad things', why development without deconstruction is problematic, why spirituality is more 'down and in' rather than 'up and out', how deconstruction releases complexity and opens possibility, why development is dangerous without spiritual clarity, and how this model allows us to talk bout spiritual realization without unnecessary metaphysical claims. To read a draft of Tom's work in progress on the "wisdom skills" material we discussed. send him an email at firstname.lastname@example.com. The title of the manuscript is "Metamodernism, Complexity, Simplicity, and Spirituality."

Today I'm speaking with Bayo Akomolafe. Bayo is a an academic, poet and philosopher who dedicates his life to mediating between the spiritual and the scientific. He is the Executive Director and Chief Curator for The Emergence Network, and the author of 'These Wilds Beyond our Fences: Letters to my Daughter on Humanity's Search for Home'.

My guest today is Catherine McGee. Catherine has been teaching Insight Meditation retreats internationally since 1999, and since 2014 has been collaborating with Rob Burbea in shaping and teaching the Soulmaking Dharma.

Jeremy is also the host of the wonderful Mutations podcast, and the editor of the anthology Mutations: Art, Consciousness, and the Anthropocene.

John Vervaeke - The Meaning Crisis
Today's guest is John Vervaeke, PhD. John is an award-winning lecturer at the University of Toronto in the departments of psychology, cognitive science and Buddhist psychology. John joins Emerge to discuss the meaning crisis, it's consequences, and how we might design ecologies of practice to chart a path to new vistas of meaningfulness. We cover: what is the meaning crisis, how does the meaning crisis intersect with the ecological and political crisis, how our consciousness prioritizes what is most meaningful out of the totality of perception and how much flexibility we have in adjusting and transforming what we find meaningful, why it's problematic to 'unbundle' and decontextualize practices like mindfulness from a larger integrated ecology of practice, how everything from literacy to rationality to mindfulness could be considered a 'psychotechnology', what the highest leverage practices for resolving the meaning-crisis in our own lives, how to think about building the religions of the future, why new communities of practice ought to focus on process instead of personality, John's own journey in amplifying the meaning in life, and how our bodies can function as 'meaningfulness' compasses in our lives.

My guest today is Skinner Layne. Skinner is the founder of Exosphere, a learning & problem-solving community and startup laboratory. We talk about how collapse is woven into the DNA of our system, how those who grew up in the modern west are equivalent to trust fund babies, why marxism dies from cancer, fascism dies from heart attack and consumerism dies from diabetes, how Apple is the perfection of fascist production and marxist aesthetics, why preserving the status quo is unacceptable, how collapse is more like falling down a hill than falling off a cliff...and why it may be a good idea to head down the hill preemptively, before you are pushed.

Dr. Jem Bendell - The Meaning and Joy of Inevitable Social Collapse
Today I'm speaking with Dr. Jem Bendell. Jem exploded onto the internet with the release of his 'Deep Adaptation' paper, which has been downloaded hundreds of thousands of times.

Gail Bradbrook - Extinction Rebellion
On this episode, I'm speaking with Gail Bradbrook. Gail is a founder of Extinction Rebellion, one of the most exciting political movements on the planet right now (IMO). Extinction Rebellion is a group that believes that time has run out to address the ecological crisis and that it is the right and duty of every citizen to rebel in order to compel the government to tell the truth and decarbonize the economy in as short a period as possible. The movement is growing exponentially in Europe, and has already shut down the city of London through direct action and civil disobedience. Together Gail and I talk about the past, present, and possible future of Extinction Rebellion. We cover such territory as the visionary and psychedelic origins of Extinction Rebellion, how to orient ourselves in the face of possible human extinction, how to balance urgency and trust in activism, and how Extinction Rebellion could use distributed organizational architectures to enable mass participation in this emerging movement.

Rob Burbea - Meditation Fantasies & The Soulmaking Dharma
In this conversation with meditation teacher and author Rob Burbea we discuss the role of fantasy in meditation, the purpose of what Rob calls the 'Soulmaking Dharma' and some common traps that can obstruct our connection with beauty on the contemplative path. This was the first conversation I had with Rob (there are two more you can listen to in the Emerge podcast stream). For various reasons I decided not to release it immediately after we recorded it, feeling that the subsequent conversations did a better job of communicating what I wanted to communicate. There were also some nasty recording problems that made it difficult at times for the conversation to be fluid and flowing. In any case this is a lovely coversation and I hope you enjoy! 🙏

Bonnitta Roy - A Source Code Analysis of Trust 🤝
In this conversation, Bonnitta Roy and I explore what trust means within the context of complex and unpredictable systems. What is trust? How do we act in ways that amplify trust?

And why is it that sometimes highly trustworthy people are also the most unpredictable? 🤔 More notes (including the graphic we talk about during the show): https://www.notion.so/emerge/Bonnitta-Source-Code-Analysis-of-Trust-5b7d15755b494891bc3326b6d597663e

Bonnitta Roy - A Source Code Analysis of Power 💪
In this first in a set of three conversations, Bonnitta Roy and I talk about a Source Code Analysis of the concept of Power. We explore how to speak and think about power in a way that releases complexity, cuts through confusion, and enables useful conversations. The hallmark of this approach is a commitment to unpacking hidden assumptions in order to identify a conceptualization (Bonnitta calls this a 'conceptual prime') that avoids the confusions and traps that much of our current culture is trapped in. Leveraging this approach in my own life has led to a significant upgrade to the quality of my communication, and I'm glad to share it with you. This is part one of a three-part series. Coming in the next week Bonnitta and I will be applying the same process to the ideas of 'Trust' and 'Collective Action'.

You know what really scares me during Halloween? (I mean, aside from the prospect of dealing with my sugar-crashing daughters on a school night.) Missing out on a perfect excuse to play some creepy games. Here's a list of thirteen of our favorite spooky tabletop games to help you set the mood: zombies, vampires, werewolves, Ancient Ones, all hanging out in a haunted house on the hill.
I'll always have a soft spot in my heart (or brains?) for the shambling undead, and my favorite zombie game is still Last Night on Earth, which was also featured on TableTop recently. With iconic character, all the right zombie-flick tropes, and even soundtrack CDs, you're not just playing a game — you're collaborating on your own tiny B movie. The new Timber Peak standalone expansion doesn't have its own soundtrack, but it does bring three survivors from Woodinvale — each with upgraded skills but some haunted memories — to a new, remote location. Don't care for zombies? Maybe you'll appreciate Invasion From Outer Space: and for Halloween you can play Orson Welles' War of the Worlds in the background.
The classic game that casts one player as the dread vampire Dracula and the others as the heroes trying to foil his evil plans. Designed by Stephen Hand and originally published by Games Workshop in 1987, the latest edition from Fantasy Flight is faster and more furious than ever. Set eight years after the events in the novel Dracula, in the game the vampire lord seeks to take revenge on Van Helsing and his friends, who must stop him before he destroys them all.
3. Gloom
This aptly named card game for two to four players comes with a unique goal: make the family that you control as miserable as possible before they end up dying a horrific death. Strategically, you can make good things happen to your opponent's family; it's one of the few times you will frustrate a friend with good news. For added fun, you can incorporate storytelling into your game, as Wil and friends did when playing Gloom on TableTop. Gloom's unique transparent cards, goth-like art and constant misery makes this a miserably enjoyable game for the Halloween season.
In this fast-playing card game designed and illustrated by Ben Mund and published by Signal Fire Studios, the players compete to be the first to construct a Lovecraftian deity of their own while doing their level best to keep the others from beating them to the awakening. Building an Elder God funded successfully earlier this year on Kickstarter, and copies are now available for purchase.
Deck-building games are great, but Dominion isn't really known for its chills and thrills. For that, you should check out Eaten by Zombies. If the undead don't get you, maybe the Bomb will finish you off. And if you do get eaten? Well, zombies can still have fun, wreaking havoc on the living. If you've only got two players, check out the In Cahoots stand-alone expansion.
The classic cooperative board game of Lovecraftian horror, designed by Richard Launius and published by Chaosium back in 1987, now revised by Kevin Wilson and published by Fantasy Flight Games. In it, the players work together as investigators of the occult in the city of Arkham in the 1920s, trying to find and close gates to horrific dimensions before the Ancient One breaks through into our world and slaughters them all.
One note of caution: if you choose this one for your game night, then don't plan on anything else — it's an epic game that often lasts a few hours ... if the Old Ones don't get you first.
7. Letters From Whitechapel
This Victorian-themed deduction game, similar to Scotland Yard, will have detectives chasing down alleys, after carriages, and closing in on Jack the Ripper's latest location. The feeling of suspense that the game creates as the killer hopes to get away is worth the price of admission alone, but it's one of the strongest themed games in any game closet, as well. One player plays the part of the "Leather Apron" as the others are detectives in Whitechapel's Criminal Investigation Department. Where will Jack strike next? Find out in Letter From Whitechapel. (Unfortunately, this game is currently out of print — hopefully tracking down a friend who has a copy will be easier than finding Jack.)
8. Elder Sign
Elder Sign is a cooperative press-your-luck dice game set in the Lovecraft mythos. You'll investigate clues, learn spells, and find powerful relics in the hopes of sealing the Ancient Ones before they awake. Or, like Wil Wheaton on TableTop, you might just roll horribly and the rest of your team will have to bail you out. It has the theme and feel of Arkham Horror but plays in a fraction of the time, plus you get to roll piles of dice.
9. GeistesBlitz
The scariest thing about this fast-paced game is how quickly your kids will grasp it before you do. A little bit like Set and a little bit like Spot It, you have to be the first to grab the correct item based on a card — but be warned, the item you want might not actually be on the card. Although a typical game will only last about five minutes, it's enough to turn your brain to mush. (Mmmm, mushy braaaaaaiins.) I haven't seen it in English yet myself, but the German version does include rules in five languages.
There are several versions of this party game (including Mafia), and some of the newer takes like The Resistance do away with player elimination, but for Halloween you definitely need werewolves. Each player is assigned an identity secretly (werewolf or villager). The werewolves pose as people during the day, and maul one of the villagers at night; meanwhile, the villagers are trying to sniff out all the werewolves before it's too late. It's a tense game of deception and deduction, and you can play with a huge group. (And, hey, if you get killed off, you can go start up another game with the other dead folks.) Looney Labs had a successful Kickstarter campaign last month for a Deluxe version which isn't out yet, but the original is still widely available.
11. Zombie Dice & Cthulhu Dice
Need one more shot of zombies or Lovecraft? Steve Jackson Games provides a great pair of options for fast and easy Halloween gaming; Zombie Dice and Cthulhu Dice both offer maximum fun with minimum fuss. The unique specialty dice make for super simple gameplay that travels well, and most importantly they're undeniably holiday appropriate.
Here's a fun game that you can actually play in the dark, because the pieces glow! The horrible vampire hunter Knobelzobel has covered the vampires' castle with garlic, and it's your responsibility to clear it away without letting it fall down where the vampire children are sleeping. You push the guardian vampire around with a magnetic wand, trying to knock the garlic off the roof without letting it drop into the holes. Sure, it's a bit silly, but your kids will love it.
13. Betrayal at House on the Hill
For a good, old-fashioned romp through a haunted house, it's hard to beat Betrayal at House on the Hill. All of you explore the house, trying to collect equipment and avoid harmful events, but at some point the Haunt occurs, and one of you will betray the others. A randomly-selected scenario comes into play, and from then on it's the traitor against everyone else. The rulebook isn't great, but the theme is spot on.
Have a happy Halloween!

2012 marks 100 years of continuous volcano and earthquake monitoring at the U.S. Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. As part of HVO's centennial celebration, the USGS has published a new general-interest publication, "The Story of the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory—A Remarkable First 100 Years of Tracking Eruptions and Earthquakes."
This 62-page, full-color booklet recounts the founding of HVO, the first volcano observatory in the United States, and its pioneering achievements in the science of volcano monitoring over the past century. Written in a reader-friendly style, the booklet will appeal to anyone interested in earth science and volcanoes.
"Born from cracks opened by earthquakes and fed by fountains of hot molten lava, the volcanoes of Hawaiʻi rise as much as 30,000 feet above the floor of the surrounding deep sea, making them the largest volcanoes on the planet," said USGS Director Marcia McNutt. "It is a marvelous detective story to read how scientists have used data collected over the last 100 years to understand volcanic history extending back a million years, as well as what the volcanic future might be."
HVO, perched on the rim of Kîlauea Volcano's summit caldera, closely monitors the volcanic and seismic activity of Kîlauea and Mauna Loa, two of the most active volcanoes in the world, and other Hawaiian volcanoes. HVO's monitoring data, eruption forecasts, and timely warnings of potential hazards help protect the public—a key mission of HVO since 1912, when geologist Thomas A. Jaggar, founded the observatory.
The new booklet describes the development of the tools and techniques used by HVO to monitor Hawai'i's volcanic and seismic activity over the past 100 years. Whereas Jaggar had only a few early seismometers to track eruptions and earthquakes, HVO scientists today can access huge amounts of digital data from a dense network of seismometers, tiltmeters, GPS receivers, gas sensors, and other technologically advanced monitoring instruments.
Archival photos in "The Story of the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory" portray dramatic changes in Kilauea's landscape, such as the formation of a 400-foot-deep lava lake filling the bottom of Kîlauea Iki Crater in 1959, the growth of a 370-foot-high lava shield during the 1969–1974 Mauna Ulu eruption, and the explosive eruptions of Halema'uma'u Crater in 1924 that increased its diameter from 1,200 feet to more than 3,000 feet. A timeline in the book features archival photographs from significant eruptions and earthquakes that have affected Hawai'i residents since 1912.
HVO scientists have made great strides in understanding how Hawaiian volcanoes work, and the booklet summarizes their key discoveries during the past 100 years. Some of these include the relationship of earthquakes and volcanic tremors to volcanic activity, the precursory signals of an eruption, the evolution and internal structure of Hawaiian volcanoes, the dynamics of lava flows and lava lakes, and the formation of summit calderas.
The story concludes with a look toward the next 100 years, and the challenges and opportunities that will keep the next generation of HVO scientists busy.
USGS General Information Product 135, "The Story of the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory—A Remarkable First 100 Years of Tracking Eruptions and Earthquakes," by Janet L. Babb, James P. Kauahikaua, and Robert I. Tilling, is available free online (PDF).
A limited number of free printed booklets can be ordered (for a $5.00 handling fee) from the USGS online Store, or by writing to USGS Information Services, Box 25286, Federal Center, Denver, CO 80225; telephone: 1-888-ASK-USGS; e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.

A stress fracture is a tiny crack in the bone from chronic overuse. Most stress fractures occur in the lower leg and foot. They can also occur in the hip and other areas.
A blow to the bone does not cause a stress fracture. Rather, it is typically caused by repeated stress or overuse. Some causes are:
Stress fractures can worsen by continued physical stress. Smoking can also make stress fractures worse because it interferes with bone healing.
Stress fractures are more common in women. Other factors that may increase the chance of a stress fracture include:
A stress fracture may cause:
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. The injured area will be examined for localized pain and swelling.
Imaging tests to evaluate your bones include:
Treatment includes:
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can relieve pain, but controversy exists about their use for stress fractures. It is possible that NSAIDs adversely affect stress fracture healing.
Rest is important for a stress fracture. Activities will need to be adjusted during recovery. This includes avoiding the activity that caused the fracture and any other activities that cause pain. Rest time required is at least 6-8 weeks.
Shock absorbing shoe inserts and pneumatic braces may provide comfort and quicken recovery.
or a
walking cane
may be needed to keep pressure off the leg.

Blue Jays complete deal with Marlins
The TORONTO BLUE JAYS have completed a 12-player trade with the Miami Marlins that will see the club acquire RHP JOSH JOHNSON, LHP MARK BUEHRLE, SS JOSE REYES, C JOHN BUCK, INF/OF EMILIO BONIFACIO and cash considerations. In return the Marlins will acquire SS YUNEL ESCOBAR, SS ADEINY HECHAVARRIA, RHP HENDERSON ALVAREZ, C JEFF MATHIS along with the following minor league players, LHP JUSTIN NICOLINO, RHP ANTHONY DESCLAFANI and OF JAKE MARISNICK.
JOHNSON, 28, was 8-14 last season with a 3.81 ERA in 31 starts. The two-time All-Star recorded 165 strikeouts with 65 walks in 191 1/3 innings. The 6-7, 249 lb. right-hander led the National League with a 2.30 ERA in 2010. In eight seasons with the Marlins the former 4th round selection in the 2002 First Year Player draft owns a career record of 56-37 in 154 games with 144 starts and an ERA of 3.15.
BUEHRLE, 33, finished the 2012 season with a 13-13 record and a 3.74 ERA in his first season with the Marlins. In 31 starts the 6-2, 230 lb. native of St. Charles, Missouri pitched 202 1/3 innings, marking the 12th consecutive season he pitched at least 200 innings. The four-time All-Star spent the first 12 years of his career with the Chicago White Sox before joining Miami last season, and owns a career record of 174-132 in 421 games, including 396 starts with a 3.82 ERA.
REYES, 29, hit .287 for the Marlins last season with 37 doubles, 12 triples, 11 home runs and 57 RBI, while adding 40 stolen bases. The four-time All-Star posted a .347 on-base percentage, after walking 63 times with just 56 strikeouts. The 2011 National League batting champion is a career .291 hitter, with 259 doubles, 111 triples, 92 home runs and 480 RBI in 1,210 games. The 6-1, 200 lb. switch-hitter is fourth among active Major League players with 410 career stolen bases.
BUCK, 33, appeared in 106 games last season for the Marlins batting .192 with 12 home runs and 41 RBI. The 6-3, 210 lb. catcher returns to Toronto where he was an American League All-Star in 2010 and hit .281 with 25 doubles, 20 home runs and 66 RBI. In nine major league seasons with Kansas City (2004-2009), Toronto (2010) and the Marlins the Kemmerer, Wyoming native has posted a .235 batting average with 159 doubles, 118 home runs and 423 RBI.
BONIFACIO, 27, batted .258 last season in 64 games, with 30 stolen bases and 30 runs scored. The 5-11, 200lb. switch hitter has played all three outfield positions as well as second base, third base and shortstop during his six year career with Arizona (2007-2008), Washington (2008) and the Marlins (2009-2012). In 476 career games the Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic native has posted a .267 average with a .329 on-base percentage along with 53 doubles, 25 triples, seven home runs and 110 stolen bases.
To make room on the 40-man roster the Blue Jays have designated RHP JOEL CARRENO for assignment.

The State Police Forensic Laboratory is the sole provider of traditional forensic laboratory services in New Hampshire. The Forensic Laboratory routinely receives and analyzes evidence from over 220 city and town police departments, nine state law enforcement agencies including the State Police, ten county sheriffs departments, numerous city and town fire departments, and, on occasion, federal law enforcement agencies conducting criminal investigations in the state.
The State Police Forensic Laboratory is nationally certified by the Association of Crime Laboratory Director's – Laboratory Accreditation Board (ASCLD/LAB) and was recertified in 2009. The laboratory will eventually undergo certification under ISO 17025 standards in 2014.
The services offered by the New Hampshire State Police Forensic Laboratory include firearms/toolmarks, latent impression, DNA, serology, digital evidence, trace, controlled substances examinations, blood and breath alcohol testing as well as the analysis of controlled substances in urine, blood and other biological samples.
As part of the statewide Cyber Crime Initiative, a remote forensic viewing station permits law enforcement agencies to submit digital evidence to the laboratory in order to create forensic duplicates and put these images on a server. The investigators are then given a password and IP address to connect over the secure network in order to review their case using AccessData's Forensic Toolkit (FTK) Case Reviewer software. Any evidence is then copied to a DVD or printed at the laboratory for evidentiary purposes. This leading edge solution has continued to put New Hampshire in the forefront on digital evidence examinations.
The procurement of over $125,000 in grants has allowed the Forensic Laboratory to acquire DNA equipment that has automated certain processes enabling the laboratory to analyze additional DNA samples from numerous homicide, sexual assault and burglary cases for input into a state-wide database and the national database referred to as the COmbined DNA Index System or CODIS, where comparisons and ultimately matches would be effected. A match between a known sample taken from a New Hampshire convicted offender and a biological sample retrieved from an 18-year old Alaskan homicide victim in 1994 demonstrates this technology's great value and borderless potential.
The Forensic Laboratory continues to place the utmost attention to accuracy and scientific integrity of the analyses conducted within the laboratory. All laboratory personnel will continue to contribute to the successful completion of the laboratory's central purpose of providing quality technical service to New Hampshire's law enforcement agencies.

On His Sickness, by Pope Leo XIII, 1830
A youth of twenty years — how sickly and how spare!
Ah, to what natural shocks my flesh is heir!
Haply to utter here my memorable grief,
May bring, if not surcease, some sad relief.
Through sleepless nights in vain I fretfully compose
My weak and weary limbs to seek repose.
My food no strength affords; my drooping lids complain
Of light; and oft my head is racked with pain.
Anon my parched limbs a wasting ague chills,
Anon with torrid heats of fever fills.
Haggard and wan my face, and laboring is my breath:
Languid I walk the way to dusty death.
Why shall I cheat my heart, and years a-plenty crave
When Atropos compels the dreaded grave?
Rather my soul will speak: "O Death, where is thy sting?
With gladness I await thy triumphing!
"The passing shows of life shall not disturb my peace,
Who long to taste the joy that cannot cease.
"Happy the exile's feet to press the Fatherland;
Happy the storm-tossed bark to gain the strand!"

Education authorities in Guangdong province, China recently produced a draft regulation for public consultation. The regulation stated that persons with HIV, gonorrhea, syphilis, genital warts, or any of three other sexually transmitted diseases would be screened out at physical examinations during the recruitment process. The draft would also ban persons with rheumatoid arthritis from working as teachers. Previous discriminatory clauses banning candidates with high blood pressure, serious shortsightedness, disabilities, and facial paralysis had been removed.
Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in Guangdong have criticized education officials as unfair and misinformed. Yu Fangqiang, director of the NGO Justice for All, commented that it was foolish to ban HIV-positive teachers as students are not at risk of infection in daily school life. He noted that the disease is only transmitted through unprotected sex, infected blood, or mother-to- infant transmission. Lu Jun, director of Beijing Yirenping Center, noted that the draft conflicted with a state council regulation guaranteeing equal employment rights for HIV-infected persons. He commented that the ban reverted to an attitude behind the times, because it evaluated the morals of persons with certain diseases. Jun also pointed out that most STDs can be cured.
Approximately 44 percent of 330 Internet users who responded to an online poll voted against HIV-infected persons working as teachers. They reasoned that small children who were not aware of HIV prevention measures could be infected from bleeding wounds.

I wrote this on Tuesday the 29th and am just now getting around to posting it.
Today I went to my old workplace to visit my friends and to pick up Ivey's handprint and footprint. It felt strange to walk through that door and see how everything had changed in my absence. The Halloween decorations were up and all the displays were rearranged. Kelly and Vicky buzzed around doing neb setups and answering the phone as I just stood there with a baby in my arms and did nothing. I could've easily picked up the phone and said "thank you for calling AnMed Health Jennie G's, this is Jenny!" It feels weird, but I'm glad that chapter of my life is over.
I would have been back at work today if I hadn't quit. Ivey would have been staying with my mom and dad, and they would've had their hands full. I would have come home to a baby who'd had bottles instead of nursing sessions and had done several cute things while I was gone.
Instead, I took her to visit and when we were tired we went home. She nursed and then had her worst blowout poop ever. Out the diaper, into the pants, down the leg, yuck. She cried while I feebly attempted to undress her without making a mess and was so pleased when I put her in the sink for a warm bath.
Then my parents brought Suzi home (they had taken her to the library). While I was helping her in the bathroom, she told me "you're my best mama." Then she hugged my leg and told me she loved me. She is also telling her first knock-knock jokes... "Knock-knock, who's there? It's me, Suzi!" and "Knock-knock, who's there? It's Tigger, knocking on the door!" She tells the whole joke herself without waiting for a response and none of them make sense.
Even though I do miss my friends, it's not as bad as I thought to go without "adult interaction." It's not so bad having to drink cold coffee or none at all in the morning because I'm either nursing Ivey or running upstairs because Suzi's woken up. Suzi cries and then shouts Maaaamaaaa! at 7:30 and when I run in to tell her good morning, she smiles through the tears and hugs me.
Above are my sweet girls' prints. Suzi's hands and feet haven't been that size in a long time, and Ivey's are getting bigger before our eyes.
I'm glad to have them. I'm glad to be with them. I want more of them.
