How can i align the text (€) in the center of the red square, on the blue dotted line without doing anything to the drop down menus besids them?
Is there a CSS code for doing this?
The red square and blue line i'm talkin about are in the uploaded screenshot.
Thanks in advance.
- JotForm SupportjonathanAnswered on April 20, 2014 at 08:49 PM
You meant moving the text (€) more to the RIGHT closer to the drop-down menus?
Please try adding the CSS code like this to those existing in your form.
margin-left: 100px;
margin-left: 1px !important;
You can adjust the 100px number according to your preference.
I included the #text_6 code because it is also a TEXT field, and need not be moved similarly.
Here is test form when I applied this changes http://form.jotform.me/form/41097500877459?
Hope this help. Inform us if this suggestion did not work.

Toronto FC troll Montreal Impact for painting the lines on the field wrong
The first leg of the Eastern Conference final was delayed for 40 minutes because the Montreal Impact grounds crew painted the 18-yard box lines wrong. Yes, seriously.
Now they eventually got it fixed with the box re-painted to its correct width, but it wasn't a thing people were going to forget anytime soon. Toronto FC, who just so happened to be Montreal's rival and opponent in that Eastern Conference final, definitely weren't going to let them forget.
So when when the Toronto grounds crew got to painting the lines for the second leg, of course they threw some shade.
You paint the lines wrong against your rival in the conference final, you hear about it forever. Them's the rules.
44 yards… 132 feet… @torontofc @impactmontreal @MLS "measure twice, paint once". pic.twitter.com/B0HEvHeJhK

Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self. - Cyril Connolly
Monday, March 03, 2008
I brought the glorious weather back with me from Aruba - you're welcome.
Interestingly, the State Dept. hasn't issued any travel warnings or alerts for Venezuela, Columbia or Ecuador yet. I'm sure Aruba will be fine despite its proximity, but the cruise industry may decide to give those waters a wide berth if things go south with the current tensions between the countries, or if war were to break out.
In more cheerful news - it's
outside! I had to go in for my pre-employment physical and paperwork this morning. Filled out tons of paperwork, peed in a cup, got stuck for a PPD (Tuberculin) Test and had blood drawn, smiled for the ubiquitous photo ID badge in Security and basically got processed. Book 'em, Danno.
I tried to take myself to
Petit Louis Bistro
for lunch, but they are closed on Mondays, so I headed over to
Miss Shirley's
for a fried oyster salad and some iced tea. They do serve incredible food there. I got a side of fried green tomatoes, and brought home half of it to have with eggs tomorrow morning.
After stopping at the grocery store and dry cleaners, I took the car to get all the winter salt and grime washed off and headed home, where I discovered that the back yard is now bursting with little green shoots for all the bulbs that the landscapers put in back in November. Can't wait to watch them explode! I have the windows wide open, and the cats are sniffing through the screens like they'd never smelled the outdoors before.
BTW, if you head up to Roland Park, and drive down 42nd street to the Super Fresh, you pass a stretch of homes that have carpets and carpets of lilac snow crocuses in bloom already right before you hit University Parkway. If you need a little spring tonic - head over there and check it out.

I upgraded to the latest version of Asp.net MVC 4 at the weekend which is the newly released "RC" so thought I'd have a play and see what's changed.
On doing File > New on a new MVC 4 / Web API project a newly clean crisp solution loads up in Visual Studio. Just out of interest I make sure it builds – can't be too careful with these "pre-release" builds. The solution builds fine so it's time to explorer …
I expand the project references to see what dependencies the project now has and the list is quite large. The usual suspects are there; EntityFramework, System.Web.Mvc, System.Web.Razor etc. but I'm greeted by some un-usuals.
Disclaimer: I'll point out now I didn't do this check on the Beta so I'm not sure if some of the following where there before.
The first one is new and expected; Newtonsoft.Json. We've been hearing for a while that json.net will be rolled into the final release and here it is. Nice! I've been using json.net for other projects for a while and it's good.
The second two which seem out of place are "Antlr3.Runtime" and "WebGrease". What on earth are these?
Lets look at WebGrease first …
- It has an entry in the nuget package file with a version number etc.
- In object browser it has some of the "Microsoft.Ajax.Utilities" namespace in.
- The rest seems to do with css, ui etc.
- Delete it and the app still builds and runs.
Guessing can live with that, but could remove it. What does it do?!
The other remains a mystery; "Antlr3.Runtime".
- No entry in the nuget packages
- Remove it and the default app still builds
- In object browser from the class names it looks like it does something with Tree structures?!
From doing some searching it relates to parsing grammers etc. to interpret them in your application. Why would that be shipped with asp.net mvc 4? Couldn't find any documentation to support this so maybe it was an oversight and will be removed from the final RTM version. Will have to wait and see …

1. Re: 360 degree spinA.T. Romano Jul 7, 2015 7:06 PM (in response to adobenewbie123)
Basic idea...
Create Track Matte circle in Titler....that goes on Video 3
Movie clip on Video 2
For video on Video Track 2, apply Track Matte Key effect and also keyframe its Rotation property in Properties Palette/Motion Panel expanded's Rotation feature.
Please more details if more details needed....is video rotating in a fixed position circle or is a circle moving around the frame with the movie rotating it in?
2. Re: 360 degree spinadobenewbie123 Jul 9, 2015 6:50 AM (in response to A.T. Romano)
Hey ATR,
I was planning to attempt this today. Should anything be in video track 1?
3. Re: 360 degree spinA.T. Romano Jul 9, 2015 7:56 AM (in response to adobenewbie123)
If you want a background for the circle which will be displaying your rotating video in the circle, then you could have the background on Video 1.
Otherwise, you can put those two track contents (track matte above rotating video to go in circle) on whatever tracks you want).
Please let me know if you are OK with those details.
Thanks for exploring the suggestion. You might want to consider the information on Rotation in the following
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE: Rubberband Options Detailed
4. Re: 360 degree spinadobenewbie123 Jul 9, 2015 8:27 AM (in response to A.T. Romano)
Okay that makes sense. Moving the clip up to video 2 allows room for a background in video 1. Thanks!
5. Re: 360 degree spinadobenewbie123 Jul 9, 2015 9:05 AM (in response to adobenewbie123)
ATR, can you provide more details on how to create track matte circle in the titler? Do I actually draw the circle tool in the frame? That creates a white circle that blocks what is behind it in track 2.
6. Re: 360 degree spinA.T. Romano Jul 9, 2015 9:42 AM (in response to adobenewbie123)
Given track matte from Titler on Video Track 3
Given rotating video on Video Track 2
That video on Video Track 2, besides the Rotation keyframing, is going to have the Track Matte Key dragged into it. Effects/Keying/Track Matte. Next, Edit Effects. In Properties Palette/Track Matte expanded panel - establish the Track Matte settings starting with Matte = Video 3 where the Track Matte is (in your case here Video Track 3) to get video on Video Track 2 showing in the Track Matte's circle instead of white.
If want, afterward you can select the Track Matte on Video 3 and reposition it.
Please let me know if you need supplemental information on the above.

The eye can be analyzed with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A functional examination includes the capability to move in the orbit and the reaction of the pupil to light and accommodation.
The function of the eye might be checked in a number of methods. The client might be asked to recognize illuminated letter or items of varying sizes on exactly what is referred to as the Snellen chart.
Alternatively, the evaluation of the structural part of the eye may be made in several methods. Stress within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In particular diseases, specifically in glaucoma, the stress in the eyeball is increased significantly.
However, it ought to be well kept in mind that a client with an eye issue may have other problems too. Typically other physical conditions are main and affect the eye as a consequence. The appearance of the eye can inform the physician and the patient to troubles in some disruptions of other parts of the body even prior to other symptoms present themselves.
One's reliance on sight is stressed when one faces a short-lived or possible permanent loss of this important sense. When restorative procedures are looked for, specific kinds of vision correction such as contact lenses or eyeglasses are prescribed.
On the other hand, some people are troubled with that they have some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this reason, advanced surgeries were established to encourage reduced usage of contact lenses or glasses. Among which is the now popular LASIK eye surgery.
Basically, LASIK eye surgery is the short-term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its concrete equivalent, LASIK eye surgery is another form of vision correction. The only distinction is that with this type of surgery, one's vision is corrected permanently.
With LASIK eye surgery, the refractive mistakes in the cornea are completely transformed. This can be done utilizing an "excimer laser."

2. It is not a ideal treatment
LASIK eye surgical treatment may remedy your vision however it does not necessarily suggest that it can provide you a ideal vision. Even if analytical reports show that 70% of the clients may have 20/20 vision, this does not necessarily imply they have ideal vision as well.

Alternatively, the evaluation of the structural part of the eye may be made in several ways. It should be well remembered that a client with an eye issue may have other issues. Often other physical conditions are main and impact the eye as a effect.

By Anthony Policastro, M.D
About 5 years ago, I wrote an article on internet predators. In the interim My Space and Facebook have increased the ease of access to many more individuals than could be done through regular E-mail in the past. So I thought it might be a good idea to update that article. There are many individuals who use the internet to prey on children. Parents should be aware of some of the warning signs that could suggest this is happening to your child. When you are using My Space and Facebook, there are many different people that you can contact. You should know who your children are looking up. One good way of doing that is to check on them. You can see what kinds of sites are being visited. The easy way to do this on most computers is to hit the Control button plus the H key at the same time. This will create a directory of previously viewed sites. You can check which sites are being seen frequently. You can click on them and see what the site looks like. Thus by clicking on your internet icon and then clicking on Ctrl+H, you can see where your computer has been. You should expect to see the names of your child's friends. You should expect to see the names of some of your relatives. You should expect to see a few strange names for one reason or other. You should not expect to see names that there is no reason to be looking at. You should have an idea about how much time your child spends in these activities. The best way to do that is to remember that a maximum of two hours a day total is recommended for TV, computer and video game time for any child. Parents should enforce that two hour limit. It is probably a good idea to have the computer used for the internet in a very public location in the house. That will allow you to see what is happening just by passing by. If you notice a closing of the current window when you pass by, it might mean that there is a reason for that. A computer in the child's room will limit your ability to get a feel for this. If your child has a very good friend on line, ask about having that friend come over to visit. There are several reasons why meeting the individual in person is a good thing. The child's reaction to such a request might suggest something more than just an on-line friendship. Another thing that predators suggest to children is the purchase of a web cam device. This is a camera attachment for the computer. It allows the person at the other end to view what is happening. It allows them to encourage and view inappropriate behavior. Adding a web cam to a computer in a child's bedroom is especially dangerous. One good way of avoiding some of these things is to spend time with your child on the internet. The best way to teach them the correct use is to set the example. It may provide significant quality time in more ways than one.
Autism Delaware opens office in Milford to extend its services
Autism Delaware announces the opening of its new office in Milford, answering a growing need for services in southern Delaware. The new office extends the services of Autism Delaware to those affected by autism in Kent and Sussex Counties. Autism Delaware will provide mentoring and training programs for parents, coordinate social events and support groups for families, organize groups for teenagers with Asperger's Syndrome and lead social skills classes for children. Dafne Carnright, downstate coordinator of the Milford office, will be responsible for overseeing the office, representing Autism Delaware at public events, recruiting volunteers and raising public awareness about autism. "The Milford office will really help families in Kent and Sussex Counties who formerly had to utilize our New Castle County office for assistance and services," said Autism Delaware Executive Director Theda Ellis. The new office will give Autism Delaware an increased presence in the two southern counties, where the number of children born with autism is rising each year. In 1999, there were 85 autistic children in southern Delaware's public schools; in 2007, the number increased to 216 children.

Alberto Abella, our senior manager in Madrid, made the closing speech at the event held on April 18 at ESADEFORUM (Barcelona)
The meeting was attended by different experts who discussed the main challenges of big data in the field of public administrations and companies and the advantages it provides.
Alberto Abella who is also a co-founder of Barcelona Open Data Initiative, closed the session concluding with the most interesting aspects that had been exposed during the day and analyzed the current situation of big data. "Today we can say that big data is a reality" Abella said and, after that, he added that "although now we can see the first results, we are still far away from the great potential it has". He also wanted to point out the common points on which the different speakers had agreed:
- The exponential growth of data.
- Potential benefits of sharing data such as the improvement of internal efficiency, the increase of economic activity and the equal opportunity for companies independently of their size.
- Being citizen-centric: considering the citizen at the time of deciding services.
- Data-driven decisions
- Need to normalize data
- Data-based management is not a technical but a cultural problem. Data culture is needed.
Finally, the senior manager of desideDatum stated that "big data has arrived to stay" and that the use of these data should end with a social and economic impact in the society in an egalitarian way.
You can watch the full "the big data in the public sector" session. You can find Alberto Abella's closing speech from 8:01:00

Balsamic-Glazed Roast Chicken
This recipe is from my dear friend over at The Pantry Collective. You should go visit her and see what yummy things she makes. I've been drooling over that and other recipes for a while, and I finally got the chance to make it! Verdict: Delicious!!
I didn't have some of what was needed, so I improvised a bit. You might notice some differences between her recipe and mine here. :)
You need:
a roasting chicken
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tbs honey
2 teaspoons coarse sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tbs thyme
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp basil
2 tsp rosemary
1 large lemon, juiced and zested, quarters reserved
8 cloves of garlic, peeled
4 small beets, peeled and quartered
4 medium carrots, peeled and cut in large pieces
2 medium onions, quartered
1. Wash your chicken, inside and out, and preheat your oven to 500ºF. Pat the chicken dry.
2. Combine the rest of the ingredients, save the last four, in a small bowl and mix.
3. Arrange your chopped veggies in the bottom of a roasting pan. Plop the chicken down in the middle.
4. Stuff the chicken with some onion quarters, the lemon quarters, and all of the garlic. Pour the sauce over the chicken, being careful to cover all the surfaces.
5. Roast the entire pan, veg and all, lowering the temperature to 400 after you put the pan in.
It shouldn't take more than about 90 minutes or so, although if you have included beets in your mixed veg, make sure you don't mistake beet juices for uncooked chicken juice, or vice versa. We ended up roasting ours for so long that the bones all fell away! However, despite our error, the chicken was so so juicy and delicious, and the vegetables retained their shapes. We ate it with steamed green beans and orzo. And plenty of wine.
Bonus: my sister holding the plate of chicken and veg. She is a brave lady for carrying that chicken while wearing a white silk blazer/vest.

Forex Video Briefing (8/26) – EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY
As we can see in the 1H EUR/USD chart, the pair is holding above 1.3180 but respecting the 1.3215 level as resistance. The technical picture is still bearish based on the moving averages and the RSI reading, so price looks poised to test the 1.3180 area again. A break below 1.3175 should continue the prevailing bearish outlook, which has downside risk to the Sept. 2013 lows in the 1.31-1.3105 area. A break above 1.3215 can open up a near-term bullish correction scenario, but we should be ready for sellers around 1.3140 especially if the 1H RSI is around 60.
The GBP/USD fell to 1.6535 to begin the week, then rebounded to the 1.66 handle, which was a support/resistance pivot. throughout last week. So far this week, traders are respecting this level as resistance and keeping a bearish bias. The 1H RSI has shown some loss of bearish momentum, but there surely isn't any bullish momentum. Cable looks poised to test the 1.6535 low. A break below 1.6530 should open up the March low at 1.6465. A break above 1.66 opens up a bullish correction scenario in the near-term, and we should expect sellers around the 1.6650-1.6660 area if not even lower. If then, we start finding support at 1.66, we can expect a short to medium-term consolidation or bullish correction. A break above 1.6740 might be needed to shelve the bearish bias.
USD/JPY began the week breaking above the 1.0413 high from early April. However, we saw a retreat back to 103.75. As we get into the 8/26 US session, price seems to be reviving the bullish outlook as it broke above the near-term consolidation trendline, and above the 50-hour SMA. Now price, moving averagse, and the RSI reading are in bullish condition, so USD/JPY looks poised to test the 104.27 high. The bullish outlook is intact and the upside risk above 104.30 will be the 105.44 high on the year. It will take a break below 103.50 to suggest a consolidation, bearish correction before the rally attempt to 105.44. Instead, we might start seeing support around 104, which would help build the case toward 105.44.

EDP was commissioned by Curo Enterprise Ltd to provide archaeology and heritage services to support the proposed redevelopment of the former Foxhill MOD site on the south side of the historic City of Bath.
The outline planning proposals, which were unanimously approved by the planning committee at Bath & North East Somerset Council in February 2015, provide for the construction of up to 700 new dwellings, as well as retail, employment and education uses and supporting community infrastructure including a new primary school.
The 19.5 hectare site is located on Combe Down and proposals for its redevelopment were potentially constrained by a number of heritage designations, not least being its location within the City of Bath World Heritage Site and its proximity to the Grade I Registered Park and Garden at Prior Park, which is managed by the National Trust.
EDP undertook extensive investigation and assessment to confirm that there would be no significant impacts on these (and other) designated heritage assets, having previously recorded the former Admiralty buildings prior to site clearance and confirmed the site's low potential to contain sub-surface archaeological remains.
With relevant outline planning conditions (including for archaeological investigation) having been discharged, detailed proposals for the first phase of 275 dwellings were approved by Bath & North East Somerset Council in September 2015.

German federal election 2005
On May 22nd 2005 as predicted the SPD took a devastating defeat in its former heartland, North Rhine-Westphalia. Half an hour after the election results, the SPD chairman Franz Müntefering announced that the chancellor would clear the way for premature federal elections by the means of a purposely lost vote of confidence. This took the republic by surprise, especially because the SPD was seen in polls below 25% at that time. On the following Monday the CDU announced Angela Merkel as conservative candidate for chancellorship, aspiring to be the first female chancellor in German history.
Whereas in May and June 2005 victory of the conservatives seemed highly likely, with some polls giving them an absolute majority, this picture changed shortly before the election at September 18, 2005, especially after the conservatives introduced Paul Kirchhof as potential minister of the treasury, and after a TV duel between Merkel and Schröder where many considered Schröder to have performed better.
New for the 2005 election was the alliance between the newly formed Electoral Alternative for Labor and Social Justice (WASG) and the PDS, planning to fuse into a common party (see Left Party.PDS). With the former SPD chairman Oskar Lafontaine for the WASG and Gregor Gysi for the PDS as prominent figures, this alliance soon found interest in the media and in the population. Polls in July saw them as high as 12 %.
After success in the state election for Saxony, the alliance between the far right parties National Democratic Party and Deutsche Volksunion (DVU), which planed to leapfrog the "five-percent hurdle" on a common party ticket was another media issue.
The election results of September 18, 2005 were surprising insofar as they differed widely from the polls of the previous weeks. The conservatives lost votes compared to 2002, reaching only 35%, and failed to get a majority for a "black-yellow" government of CDU/CSU and liberal FDP. The FDP polled a stunning 10 % of the votes, one of their best results ever. But the red-green coalition also failed to get a majority, with the SPD losing votes, but polling 34 % and the greens staying at 8 %. The left party alliance reached 8.7 % and entered the German Parliament, whereas the NPD only got 1.6 %.
The most likely outcome of coalition talks was a so-called "grand coalition" between the conservatives (CDU/CSU) and the social democrats (SPD), with the three smaller parties (liberals, greens and the left) in the opposition. Other possible coalitions include a "traffic light coalition" between SPD, FDP and Greens and a "Jamaica coalition" between CDU/CSU, FDP and Greens. Coalitions involving the Left Party have been ruled out by all parties (including the Left Party itself), although the combination of one of the major parties and any two small parties would mathematically have a majority. Of these combinations, only a red-red-green coalition is politically even imaginable. Both Gerhard Schröder and Angela Merkel announced that they had won the election and should become next chancellor.
On October 10th talks were held between Franz Müntefering, the SPD chairman, Gerhard Schröder, Angela Merkel and Edmund Stoiber, the CSU chairman. In the afternoon it was announced that the CDU/CSU and SPD will begin formal coalition negotiations with the aim of a Grand Coalition with Angela Merkel as the next German chancellor.
Angela Merkel is the first woman, the first East German and the first scientist to be chancellor as well as the youngest German chancellor ever. On November 22nd 2005 Angela Merkel was sworn in by president Horst Köhler for the office of Bundeskanzlerin.

As Muslim Extremists Finalized Boston Terror Plot, Pentagon Battled Christian Threat
Even as two Chechen Muslim extremist imports were finalizing their murderous plot to plant explosives at the finish line of the Boston Marathon, the Department of Defense was maintaining a relentless focus on the Christian threat.
Just three days before the April 15th attack on the Boston Marathon, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel was appearing before Congress and answering questions – notably from Rep. Randy Forbes (R-VA) – about actions the Department of Defense had taken to repress the religious observance and expression of Christians within the military.
"They've been on the attack for the last four plus years at the Pentagon," Forbes told conservative radio talk show host Laura Ingraham in a recent broadcast.
"They have issued statements from the Pentagon where our commanders cannot even disclose approved acceptable programs if they're under the Chaplain's office," Forbes continued. "When we asked Secretary Hagel if he was going to protect their religious freedoms, and if he was going to protect the section of the National Defense Authorization bill that we put in last year to do that, he could not respond, and he didn't know anything about it!"
Forbes was referring to Section 533 of the National Defense Authorization Act, which reads, in pertinent part: "No member of the Armed Forces may — require a chaplain to perform any rite, ritual, or ceremony that is contrary to the conscience, moral principles, or religious beliefs of the chaplain; or discriminate or take any adverse personnel action against a chaplain."
The president signed the Act into law, but issued a signing statement voicing opposition to that particular provision:
Section 533 is an unnecessary and ill-advised provision, as the military already appropriately protects the freedom of conscience of chaplains and service members. The Secretary of Defense will ensure that the implementing regulations do not permit or condone discriminatory actions that compromise good order and discipline or otherwise violate military codes of conduct. My Administration remains fully committed to continuing the successful implementation of the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, and to protecting the rights of gay and lesbian service members; Section 533 will not alter that.
Section 533 is a political flashpoint in the law, because many chaplains and social conservatives are concerned that the military may force chaplains to sanctify or officiate over same sex marriages, provide same-sex marriage counseling, or conduct other religious services in violation of the tenets of their faith. Clearly, the Administration was concerned about the threat to good order from his military chaplains, and the issue got visibility at the very top level of government.
Meanwhile, Section 533 also drew the opposition of the American Civil Liberties Union.
"The language is too broad," said Laura Murphy, director of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office, who cautioned that it could lead to claims of a right to discriminate.
"We strongly support accommodating beliefs, so long as doing so does not result in discrimination or harm to others," Murphy said. "The hastily drafted provision, though, has the potential to give rise to dangerous claims of a right to discriminate against not just lesbian, gay, and bisexual service members, but also women, religious minorities, and in the provision of health care."
The attacks in Boston also came within a few weeks after some military observers were ringing the alarm bells about religious extremism within the ranks – again, focused on those pesky Christians, as we reported here. We also reported – as did a number of other media outlets – on a training PowerPoint slide that categorized evangelicals, certain Mormons, Catholic and Jewish groups as hate groups in the same category with Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Qaeda and the Ku Klux Klan.
The Army also cracked down on its Catholic chaplains earlier this year, when Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the head of military services in the U.S. for the Catholic Church, sent a letter to parish priests and chaplains, objecting to certain contraceptive provisions in the Affordable Care Act, or the so-called "Obamacare" law. "We can not, and we will not comply with this unjust law," the letter read. The Archbishop directed his priests to read the letter to their congregations at mass on January 28th. The Department of the Army issued a gag order. The Army would not agree to allow the chaplains to read the letter until that line was excised, considering it too close to a call to civil disobedience.
The strange Pentagon preoccupation with the Christian threat in the face of the Boston attacks continues even now, more than a week since the Boston attacks, with the strange censorship of the Southern Baptists Convention website. Servicemembers trying to access the SBC website from military installations found their access blocked by Team CONUS, the Virginia-based IT department responsible for network security and policing up offensive material. The Pentagon blocked access for servicemembers. Anyone attempting to access the site from a military installation received the message "The site you have requested has been blocked by Team CONUS (C-TNOSC/RCERT-CONUS) due to hostile content."
It is not clear precisely what "hostile content" the Pentagon is referring to.
Chaplains and Baptists within the military raised objections. The Pentagon is now claiming that the censorship of the Southern Baptist Convention website was "accidental." However, as of this writing, access has not yet been restored and the military could not explain how this "accident" could have happened. Attempts to contact Team CONUS via phone and email seeking comment were unsuccessful as of this writing.
Meanwhile, rest easy, America. We're confident that the next mass bombing attack on American civilians is far more likely to come from radical Islamist rather than Christians.

Game 5 is getting ridiculous.
The Astros refuse to let the Dodgers keep their lead in Game 5 of the World Series.
After a Yuli Gurriel home run tied the game a 4 in the fourth inning, Cody Bellinger gave Los Angeles a 7-4 lead with a three-run home run in the top of the fifth inning.
In the bottom of the fifth, the Astros got two men on to get the Dodgers to pull Clayton Kershaw for Kenta Maeda with two outs. On a full count, second baseman Jose Altuve sent a ball to center field that tied the game at 7 and had the fans at Minute Maid Park going crazy.

The winner of Sunday's game will take a 3-2 lead into Tuesday's Game 6 in Los Angeles.

Triathlon and Mental Health: Balancing the Two
"Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny" – C.S Lewis
The prevalence and awareness of mental health concerns are growing in our population – "one in five Australians experiences a mental health condition in a given year, and almost one in two will experience a mental health condition at some point in their lifetime".2 As a coach, I observe the effects of anxiety and depression in my athletes, and the wider endurance community, on a regular basis. Sometimes it's hidden beneath the surface, requiring an astute level of reflection/insider knowledge to recognise and acknowledge it. Other times it's immensely prevalent and too hard to ignore. Despite the varying scale of anxiety and/or depressive symptoms, athletes of all levels can end up being impacted by debilitating symptoms. In fact, a study found that in a group of elite athletes, (from Australian National Sporting Organisations) 46.4% of athletes surveyed experienced at least one mental health concern.1
This may affect their training consistency, training performance/ outcomes, day-to-day mindset, training enjoyment, racing performance and mindset, or it may be the driver that attracts them to participating in triathlon. Triathlon can provide a vehicle to fight inner demons through cultivating purpose, direction, filling a void, improving health or creating body composition change – all of which are incredibly positive outlets. To help you, your significant other, your athlete, your friend or training partner continue to seek out positive results from triathlon, while working through anxiety and depression, I've penned some key action steps to apply, with the goal to maintain consistency of movement, wellness and performance when the going gets tough.
Part 1: Shift your mindset
When feeling down or anxious, shifting your mindset is much easier said than done. The goal here is to take some small practical steps, which work towards easing the pressure on your mind and thoughts that may be fuelling your mood. I have a question I get athletes to ask themselves in times of adversity: "If you were to get out of your own way, what action step would you take?"
The premise of this question stems from the all too common human habit of thoughts, problems, or worries being greater in our mind than they are in reality. If this question can help you identify the areas that your own thoughts are hindering you from moving forward in a positive way, you're winning; acknowledgement is the key. These thoughts are often what lead to "decision or task paralysis" – where the training session, nutritious meal or a simple shower all becomes too hard. To reduce the intensity of these thoughts that are often created in black or white (all or nothing), here are some athlete specific tactics to help you find the grey area:
Drop the data, expectation and comparison-itis.
If the decision to go out for a training session has you in decision paralysis, ask yourself: "What's the grey area?" Let's say you have a two-hour hilly ride planned, but you feel too flat or anxious to make it happen. Tap into what does feel comfortable to shift the incessant thoughts of worry about the "two hours". For example, the grey area might mean adjusting the plan to a 45-60minute flat ride, then see if that shifts your mindset to get started. If that plan still doesn't feel right, give yourself the plan of just starting or just getting dressed, remove any structure or expectation, and just start moving. I like the 10minute rule. If after 10minutes you still feel horrible, turn around and make your way home, guilt-free, knowing you achieved what you set out to do what you started.
When feeling low or anxious, it can also be helpful to drop the data and forget your detailed metrics. All that matters is your mindset, being outside and simply moving your body. Often this provides a wonderful reset for the following hours, or day, to set you up for future success. The only instance in which this 10-20minutes of getting started becomes a "waste" is if you beat yourself up about it, only to get in your own way again.
A cheat sheet to shifting mindset:
- Leave your watch/data at home
- Just start – use the 10minute rule
- Find the grey area
Part 2: Gather the troops!
Alright, Superman or Superwoman, it's time to take off your cape. Are you ready?
This step is going to require big deep breaths, vulnerability and openness – tough at times, I know. When you feel down or anxious, keeping your worries and woes to yourself will only keep you running around the hamster wheel. It's time to step off and reach out to those around you, both personal relationships and professional services.
The first step is to communicate to the close relationships in your life. Let them know you're not feeling yourself right now and you would value some support. Depending on your own needs, this support could come in a variety of ways. Perhaps a simple hug, a friendly phone chat or a walk together is what you need. Or maybe some practical help with cooking, cleaning, babysitting or "life admin" tasks. Now, you might already be feeling anxious or guilty at the thought of asking for this support but let me ask you this, are you a good person? (The answer is yes). And if you had a friend or family member reach out for support would you be happy to assist them? (I would say yes). Close relationships are reciprocal and unconditional. Have faith and trust in those around you – I'm sure you would value the same faith and trust?
Once you've lightened your load, both mentally and practically, this allows space in your mind to look at the key areas you can outsource and receive from professionals, setting you up for strategies in the future. You might want to initiate or increase support from a counsellor or a psychologist, or get a cleaner once a month/week? Perhaps book regular relaxation sessions such as Yoga, massage or acupuncture?
If you have a coach, do you need to schedule a support call with them more regularly? And if you don't have a coach, is it time to seek out that level of support for your training and performance?
Support can come in a variety of ways; it's up to you to identify the type of support that enhances your vitality the most.
A cheat sheet to having support:
- Be open to vulnerability
- Communicate to friends, colleagues and family
- Outsource
Part 3: Shift your physiology
Stress, depression and anxiety are all innate, physiological responses in your body that present as symptoms. Symptoms aren't something to be shunned, ignored or to be frustrated by. They provide you with valuable information about what your body and mind are craving. How you move, think, eat and rest impacts this physiology, in either a positive or negative way. Feeling low, negative, grumpy, tired, worried or anxious can all manifest from your training, nutrition habits, sleep hygiene and mindset. Likewise, feeling energetic, positive, calm, collected and focused can culminate from your training, nutrition, sleep hygiene and mindset.
So, what does this mean for you?
The opportunity to turn a dark day around is within your grasp utilising these handy hints and tips:
- Try a Yoga class – I recommend Yin Yoga if you're feeling flat or anxious. If you're a familiar Yogi, perhaps you could increase your Yoga practise frequency for the next week?
- Just move – again, this doesn't have to be formal exercise or training. It could mean taking the stairs instead of the escalator or having a phone conversation while walking through a park. It could mean stepping away from your desk to eat lunch in nature, commuting to work or doing mobility exercises in front of the TV at home.
- Mindfulness and breathing – I recommend an App called 'buddifhy', which presents an opportunity to connect to your breath while going about your regular day – moving meditation. The simple act of connecting to your breath stimulates the vagus nerve, which sends messages to your brain, shifting your physiological state, making it much easier to develop peace of mind.
- Change your environment – this can be in the form of changing where you typically run or ride, perhaps even re-arranging a room in your house or adding something new like a plant or painting
A cheat sheet to shifting physiology:
- Accept what is
- Breathe deep, from your belly
- Focus on nutritious food, sleep hygiene and movement
- Practice mindfulness
If you're experiencing mental health concerns while working towards a key race or simply building fitness, it can very easily become all too overwhelming. Thoughts of giving up on triathlon or training may haunt you. As someone who has waged many wars with mental demons, I've won more than I've lost and that's what counts. If I had given in, I would have missed many opportunities for athletic achievement, friendship, connection, fitness, strength and power. Despite the tough times, I believe that triathlon is a reason to continue, not a reason to give up when the going gets tough. After all, "the one who falls and gets up is so much stronger than the one that never fell" – Anon.

The rosa multiflora--the rambling rose, what I call the briar rose, because it is clearly the killer rose that protected Sleeping Beauty's castle for a century--is sending its arms across the path in the undiscovered country.

To me she seems pretty much below the radar, and seen to have been pushed into the background aka the briar patch.

"What the hell are you doing?" I asked, more curious than alarmed.
"I'm giving you an ovary massage to see if we can get those menses back in gear," he said.
I had him stop. On the intake form, under "gynecological symptoms," I had noted that I hadn't had a menstrual period in several months, but I wasn't pregnant. Still, I thought the concept of an ovary massage was creepy, and even if it were medically valid, I had no desire for my periods to return.
For the next three days, I had cramps and a pleasant sensation of warmth "down below." I think he may have known what he was doing.
Over a number of years, and through many disparate experiences, I have come to believe in the power of touch. I am not a New Agey, flower-child person (although I do like and respect them), but I have sensed that we -- or some of us, anyway -- really do possess healing energies that we can transmit to others merely through the "laying on of hands." As far as I know, I have never been able to give this relief to anyone -- although I have tried -- but I have received it many times. It feels like an infusion of heavenly chemicals straight into the bloodstream.
A a friend of mine -- who owned a health food store that had been written up in Time magazine as "the nation's first organic supermarket" -- was appalled that I had entrusted my body to some kid with no chiropractic credentials. He made an appointment for me to see his fancy east-side chiropractor, and he insisted on paying for it.
The CBS newsman Mike Wallace was in the waiting room when I got there. I hoped he would say something like, "You are a surely a handsome young creature.....who might you be?" But he just slunk down in his chair and averted his eyes.
When it was my turn, I felt quite ravished by the grand persona of Dr. George Poll. He was tall and muscular and had big mustache and shaved head. He drenched me in probing questions. He had me lie on my stomach while he explored my misaligned spine and tight muscles, and then he boomed: "You NEED me, honey!"
He turned up the opera on his quadrophonic speaker system and got to work. The treatment table was directly under a magnificent chandelier, which was a strange but beautiful addition to the chiropractic ambiance, as was the ponderous Wagner that filled the room.
I enjoyed the crunching of my vertebrae as he addressed my "subluxations." But then he said, "Now I am going to make your day," and I thought, "Uh oh."
What he gave to me for the next ten minutes or so was what I have come to regard as an operatic massage. He ebbed and flowed, lunged and fluttered, soared and crashed, forcing the music right into my body. He played me as if I were his instrument. My back was a beach, and he was a tidal wave. My back was in pain, and he was a fiery-eyed exorcist, his nostrils flared with exertion.
When it was all over, I could hardly stand up. What I had just experienced was more of a performance than a therapeutic event, and though I will always remember it vividly and with amusement, my pain was still there.
As I proceeded to leave, he put a hand on each of my shoulders and said, "Sylvia, you have a beautiful spirit, but it is suffering. That is the source of your pain."
It was in that moment, with his big warm hands resting motionlessly upon me, that I felt my pain subside.
When I stepped back into the waiting room, there was Harry Reasoner. Two "60 Minutes" in less than an hour. Only in New York!
What I had just experienced was my first in a number of lessons about the power of touch. Not long after that, I was crashing at a friend's apartment. I was sleeping on a mattress on the floor, drunk and in tears. Dear, beautiful Loretta got out of her bed and lay down behind me. She put her arm around my waist. It was a simple, wordless expression of sympathy. I felt a warmth and comfort all over, as if I had taken a Quaalude. It was very profound for me to sense that compassionate touch was as powerful as a drug.
I felt a naturalness and camaraderie in our touch. Her heaviness gave me a mellow sensation. I no longer felt impatient or jittery. I was just enjoying our moment of intimacy as we surveyed the busy store together, talking about the weather, the crazy no-good kids these days, and the ridiculous price of yams.
She was headed home to make a big dinner, but there wouldn't be any yams tonight. Not at that price. She smelled good, like geraniums. She said she was from North Carolina. So was I. I felt myself slipping slightly into my old Southern way of speaking, which in itself is quite relaxing.
I left the store in a different chemical state than when I went in, all because a weary stranger had had the audacity to lean on me.
I once saw physical therapist Wendy Ziegler in Salt Lake City who awed me with her golden energy and graceful physicality. She told me that there are people who contribute a radiant energy to the world and others who merely suck it up. I didn't say anything, but I realize that I am probably not one of the "radiators," at least not most of the time. She showed me a few exercises to strengthen my lumbar spine, and then she had me stand with my arms extended. She placed a hand on my rotator cuff area and and another on my tricep. Once again, I felt that flood of warmth -- perhaps it is endorphins -- but the brief, competent touch of that adorable young woman made me glow inside, and it eased my pain, even though what she was doing was not intended to do so.
I have been comforted, moved and suffused with gratitude on many other occasions by human touch when I was frightened, in pain or merely disoriented. Even the ones, like nurses or dental assistants, whose job description probably included soothing patients who were anxious, gave me relief and made me feel very indebted to them. Most dramatic was the black lady in a white dress with a crucifix necklace held forth on her ample bosom, who held my hand while I had an abortion (a hideous experience that made me believe that abortion is immoral, at least for me. It didn't change my mind on the need for it to be legal). To me, the woman who held my hand was exhibiting true grace, giving succor to someone she believed was committing a sin. I would like to have kissed her, but I wasn't sure her tolerance went that far.
I had a particularly powerful experience with a chiropractor who had confided in me about the brutal physical and sexual abuse his father had inflicted on him. I knew that he was in constant agony from his own psychic pain, so when he bent my knee to my chest and then essentially laid on top of me -- closing his eyes and breathing deeply -- to achieve the proper stretch and pressure, I felt that he was making an actual sacrifice, taking in even more pain, in an effort to alleviate mine. I know this must sound melodramatic, but it was a highly charged interaction. I believe he regarded his work as a religious calling. I felt at the time that it was probably killing him, and I learned a few months later that he had left the field, even though he was only in his mid-forties.
Much has been written about the therapeutic benefits of touch, although the data are mainly anecdotal. In a 2003 study, for example, healing touch lowered pain, blood pressure, fatigue, and emotional problems in cancer patients getting chemotherapy. Its advocates claim it strengthens immune function and decreases stress hormones. Reiki, a Japanese therapy in which hands are placed lightly on the body or just above it, is increasingly being used in hospitals, clinics and hospice facilities.
In a session of Reiki, each spot is treated for several minutes. Some scientists think the benefits may be as simple as the warmth of human touch and the feeling that someone is caring for you.
"We do have a reciprocal effect between the mind and the body. If you relax one, you relax the other," Dr. Barrie Cassileth, of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York told the Wall Street Journal.
There may be many practitioners of "touch therapy" who are frauds, but I have no doubt that touch -- in the right context and with the right person -- has healing properties.
About 15 years ago, I became so swept up in the power of touch -- and so moved by the thought that there are people who yearn in vain to be touched -- that I decided to be trained as a massage therapist. My work had always been cerebral and sedentary, and I thought it would be physically and emotionally rewarding to do massage -- not for money but to help people who were lonely, isolated or ill.
I enjoyed learning about anatomy, but I was disappointed to find that I didn't enjoy massage (except for a few times when I had particularly responsive clients), and I don't think I was very good at it. I ended my studies after months of reading about and practicing massage. It was too hard on my back and hands. I didn't like the formality of appointments and the structured setting of the whole thing. I felt as if I were playing a role and following a script. I needed something more spontaneous and expressive, with people's faces involved, instead of having them buried in the massage table's round receptacle.
I felt that it was more rewarding – and did more good – to integrate touch into my everyday life in the hope that I could provide some of the warmth, kindness and reassurance that others had given to me.
My most enduring "touch partner" is my mother, whose hands continue to give me palpable solace and even pain relief after all these years. And then, of course, there is Joe. My life itself is in his hands, and his touch conveys everything I need to know about where we stand.

Yowza! A recent appraisal of The White House — as a prime property, not the seat of world power — set its price at $1.5 billion (with a B).
The Wall Street Journal turned to D.C. appraiser Dennis Duffy to put a price tag on three current and former presidential properties: The White House; Mount Vernon, George Washington's home; and Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's home. Duffy considered the cost to rebuild, value of outbuildings, infrastructure, and land that could be sold.
Duffy's appraisal results:
White House: 100,000 sq. ft., 13 bedrooms, 35 bathrooms, and 18 acres of prime downtown real estate — $1.5 billion
Mount Vernon: 7,000 sq. ft. in suburban D.C., river view of the Potomac (though no bathrooms) — $150 million
Monticello: 11,000 sq. ft., four stories, 43 rooms, exquisite artisanship — $106.5 million
Overpriced or underpriced?

Glenn Johnson from Woking and Janet Gill from Leatherhead make up the theatre company that specialises in performing in your home.
They arrive with props and costumes, create a simple set using the sofa or an armchair and side table before disappearing into a bedroom to change.
Before long they will reappear and perform an hour or two of drama for the delight of you and your guests.
This unique concept has been welcomed with open arms by the British public and since they set up the company two years ago, Janet and Glenn have been featured on TV, radio and to their amusement have attracted attention as far away as Japan, Singapore and India.
"People enjoy the thrill of a live performance in their homes with their friends," said Janet.
They require just 12ft square and a door to enter through and they offer a combination of one-act plays, both drama and comedy.
Janet said: "You can hear a pin drop at dramatic moments and there is much laughter at the comedy, especially if the evening is a celebration like a birthday.
"We place our props in your room, but nothing is touched without permission — we are very well behaved," she joked.
For more information on booking a performance call 01372 378613 or 07710 258290 or email email@example.com.

My five-a-day planMonday, August 19, 2013
I came across this quote the other day and it definitely resonated.
Problem: I don't abide by this. At all. My house is full of things that are neither beautiful nor useful to me.
A drawer full of bras that no longer fit, but I've barely worn them, and it feels wasteful to get rid of them.
Kitchen appliances we don't use. How many George Foreman grills does one household need?
Chocolates left over from not just Easter, but Christmas. CHRISTMAS!
Two ironing boards. WE DON'T EVER IRON.
At least six or seven spare pillows. I don't even.
I'm generally pretty good at keeping my clothes inventory reasonable-ish. I know how often I wear things and I have no problem getting rid of old clothes (usually because I rationalize it by buying something new) but when it comes to *things* - towels, bedding, kitchen stuff, actual useful things - I have a hard time getting rid of excess. It might come in handy someday! We barely used that!
While our house looks tidy on the outside, I would have a heart attack if someone opened a closet door. It's just a lot of stuff, yo.
So rather than embark on a big, top-to-bottom cleaning, purging, organizing frenzy, I am going to commit to getting rid of five items a day. Just five. It can be five pairs of socks with holes in them. It can be five couches (it WON'T be five couches, because we only have three, but you get the drift.) Five items a day that can be tossed, sold, or donated. That's doable, right? It's not a huge time commitment - it's only going to take 10 minutes, hopefully less. And honestly, there'll be days when I get on a roll and end up chucking way more than five things.
My hope is that within a month or so, I'll start to notice a difference. Less "stuff". Feeling lighter. More space.
Do you have too much stuff, or just the essentials? If you've ever done a big decluttering operation of your own, how did it go? What helped you?

Don't ever open one of my closet doors. Ever.ReplyDelete
I really need to clean them, and while I'm at it, the two junk drawers in my kitchen. The fact that they're named junk drawers is enough of a reason to purge.
Sigh, how does it get so bad so fast!?
Love this idea and I hope you'll some day soon have closet doors that can be opened by nosey guestsReplies
It definitely seems to come out of nowhere, doesn't it? I just can't wait to have all that SPACE :)Delete
That's one of my favourite quotations! Seriously amazing plan, Amy. I have a sneaking suspicion that I should join the challenge...ReplyDeleteReplies
I started last night! It was hard to stop at just five things (I'm sure that'll change as I keep going). The hardest part was actually deciding where to start.Delete
I always *think* I'm good about this, but lately I've realized that stuff is piling up and it's driving me crazy. I'm going to start doing the same thing!ReplyDelete


text: HOLLAND, Mich. (AP) — Officials say six members of a southwestern Michigan family have died in a traffic accident in Mexico, just across the U.S. border from Laredo, Texas. The accident killed a married couple and their two sons from Holland and two of the couple's nephews from Allendale. School authorities in the two Michigan cities have identified the victims as 43-year-old Everardo Rodriguez Aguilar; 40-year-old Maria Teresa Aguilar, 15-year-old Pedro Aguilar, and 10-year-old Gabriel Aguilar; 13-year-old David Rodriguez, and 9-year-old Daniel Rodriguez. The crash happened Friday on a highway near Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, as the family was returning home from a Christmas vacation.

Love is many a thing and comes with many a form.
My love is selfish and jealous as they come.
Difficult to accept that I am not the only one, pensive is the heart.
Yet, my love is also desperate, holding on by every mean.
They say if its true love its free, freely do the love they give.
But yet no Saint am I, not a Saint I am meant to be.
Therefore a jealous lover will I be, be it true love or not we'll see.

The first of three turkey seasons in this part of the state got started Monday in a driving thunderstorm.
That's a bit of a problem with the first two hunts - they are just a week long and if you run into some bad weather on the two or three days you had set aside for hunting, you could miss out on the whole season.
I was out scouting on Monday in the rain and saw just one truck belonging to a turkey hunter and I also saw three turkeys back in the brush within sight of that truck and a turkey crossing the road, right next to the truck. The hunter was nowhere in sight.
The rain was only a problem for the hunter - turkeys don't seem to mind rain a bit and as a matter of fact, they seem to be especially active on rainy days. The big flocks have broken up and the toms are strutting so the hunting should be good.

With Salman Khan's Tubelight releasing this weekend, it doesn't actually matter what happens with the rest of the world. Sports will more or less take a backseat after cricket bombarded us for three straight months. It didn't end on the perfect note for Indian fans, but as they say – cricket was the winner!
Champions Trophy
India went down to archrivals Pakistan last Sunday, prompting fans to fight over the 8-hour pub bills they ran up because "they didn't get their money's worth". It was a long Sunday – in which Virat Kohli's team was comprehensively outplayed by Sarfaraz Ahmed's young Pakistan team. The match was as one-sided as most of their recent contests.
The KK Saga
With the loss, Anil Kumble resigned from the position of Head Coach of the Indian team. Not because we lost or because he didn't do a good job; in fact this was the only blemish on his year-long stint. India had won pretty much everything till the final. Earlier, Kohli had "complained" about his ways to the BCCI, citing his disciplinary methods and lack of connection with the senior players. The real story might have happened behind closed doors, and nobody will know the full truth, but Kohli and his bunch of brats are the villains for now. It won't go down as a good footnote in India's troubled history with coaches – even worse if Virender Sehwag or Ravi Shastri could be in the running for the "invisible" position.
US Open Golf
A relatively unknown American golfer named Brooks Koepka – who shunned contact sports as a kid for golf because he was in a car accident – won the US Open (the second major of the year). He had the record lowest winning score of 16 at Erin Hills. It was his first major title. None of the favorites came close – with only England's young talent Tommy Fleetwood finishing fourth. For the first time ever, the top three – Dustin Johnson, Jason Day and Rory Mcllroy – missed the cut at a major.
Srikanth Kidambi continued his spectacular run just a few days after winning the Indonesian Super Series title. At the Australian Open, he defeated World no. 1 Son Wan Ho twice in consecutive weeks, shooting up to World no. 11 from 21 in just ten days. A day later, he eeked out only his second win in seven matches against fellow Indian star Sai Praneeth. He reached the semifinals (to be played on Saturday), having won 12 out of his last 14 matches since his early India Open exit.
With India's Men's scene finally looking up, the women are up to business as usual, beating the world's best routinely. Both PV Sindhu and Saina Nehwal reached the quarterfinals at the tournament, and have a chance to face off on Sunday's final if they continue their streaks.
Kei Nishikori retired in his second round match at Halle, leaving the path clear for first seed Roger Federer to storm through the draw. Federer is gunning for his 9th title at the German warmup tournament for Wimbledon. He defeated the serve-and-volleying Mischa Zverev in the second round in straight sets, who is the only other player expected to challenge the might of Federer on grass this week. Federer will be hoping to win the title, given that he has a week's break after that to feel good about gunning for his 8th title at Wimbledon. The others – Murray, Djokovic, Nadal, Raonic and Wawrinka – aren't playing at the moment, either defeated or resting at this point of the season. This is Federer's time.

Today's Daily Prompt asks: "When you're unwell, do you allow others to take care of you, or do you prefer to soldier on alone? What does it take for you to ask for help?"
I thought it would be appropriate to have Mrs. Cutter weigh in on this topic, since she's the one who typically has to deal with me when I'm not feeling well.
I asked her for a detailed response, thinking that I'd get something fun. Instead I got this:
You like to whine and you tend to turn into a 5 year old boy.
Lesson learned: Don't count on Mrs. Cutter for elaborate quotes on the blog. Honestly, I should have already known that based on her lackluster answers for Women on Women.
I'll admit that I get whiny when sick. I think I'm just looking for a little bit of sympathy. Is that so wrong?
I harken back to my grade school days. When I stayed home sick, I'd get to watch The Price is Right, my mother would cook up some chicken soup, and we'd rent the movie Tron. It almost makes me nostalgic for being sick.
I suppose I could change my approach next time, and emulate Mrs. Cutter. When she gets sick, she becomes mean as if she wants the whole world to share in her misery.
Since the title of this post made me think of this video, I shall conclude by sharing it with you all:
