Assigning Employees to Clients in Bulk
You can give employees access to multiple clients at the same time.
The SmartVault Dashboard lets you give employees access to multiple employees at once. Use this tool with caution as each client assignment generates a separate email notification. If you assign a large number of clients, the employees will receive a large number of emails.
Assigning Employees to Clients
To assign employees to clients in bulk:
1. Sign in to the SmartVault Dashboard.
2. Click Clients.
3. Select the clients to assign to the employee.
4. Click the Assign employees icon.
5. Double-click on each employee you want to assign to the client.
Note: Select the Firm manager checkbox to give the employee full access permissions including the ability to grant read and write access permissions to other users for these clients. They also have the ability to invite clients or guests users. If you do not select the checkbox, the employee has Firm employee permissions, which includes read, write, create, and delete access permissions. Firm employees cannot grant access permissions to other users for these clients.
6. Click OK.
Verifying Assignments
It might take a short time for these changes to apply. You can check that the assignments are completed by doing the following:
1. From the Dashboard, click Files and Folders.
2. Navigate to the vault and click on its Properties icon.
3. Click Manage Group Members.
4. Your employee should appear under Firm Managers, Firm Employees, or both.

Here are the pics after the surgery. I had a feeding tube up my nose and a hole in my trachea. The stitches are out now and it looks really good. The swelling has gone down even more, and it looks pretty good. It looks kind of like I was in a hard mountain bike accident or fight.

This is going to be pretty much a train of though review (rather than "Train of Consequences" because… erm… that's on another album) simply as I've not had the album long, it's coming out in a couple of days so I want to get this published and I've struggled to stop listening to it since I got it.
So – spoiler alert / tldr version – it's good. Very good. I've already seen quite a few reviews online and haven't spotted a bad one as yet. I can now understand why.
Dystopia is the Megadeth album I've been waiting for since Youthanasia. That is, one that doesn't just make me go "meh, it's OK". I love Megadeth. Have for years. Whatever you think of Mustaine, the guy can wail on that guitar and their live shows are always tight as one of Nick Menza's old drumskins. His vocals on the album are as good as they ever were, too. That is, he's no Freddie Mercury, but they fit. They're Megadeth. The sneers and growls are all there and far better than the first couple of songs at the recent Glasgow show where I think it took him a track or two to warm up.
For those who saw the recent tour, we know that Adler is as good as anyone on those tubs and Kiko can shred with the best of them (as well as being annoyingly good-looking, according to a few female friends). This album is their first chance to show their skills off fully in the Megadeth environment and they don't disappoint.
While there have been some decent Megadeth albums in the last 22 years (!), the sum total of really good tracks from them would probably fill a two-disc "best of" for me. Dystopia is good from the opening sound sample of "The Threat Is Real" to the closing guitar wail of "Foreign Policy". This is a solid, heavy, thrashing (in places) Megadeth album with a great variety in the songwriting. As far as I can ascertain, all the song-writing is to be credited to the two Daves with maybe some work down by departed drummer Drover – I don't have any liner notes – so the new boys had little if any input.
We have eleven tracks here, (more on some special editions). One is an instrumental ("Conquer or Die!") and one cover, Fear's "Foreign Policy" which closes the album. The rest pull from the band's history in terms of style and there are some familiar sounds here and there which may be cause for complaint from some. Yes, a riff here and a lyrical structure there are a little derivative of their classic material, but who cares? They're plucked from the band's best songs, and take us back twenty-plus years to some great times.
Go about 3:20 into "Fatal Illusion" and the lyrics are spat out in a similar manner to the awesome "Black Friday", for instance. Utterly forgivable because it makes you want to dig Peace Sells back out again. Ellefson's bass solo near the start is a thing of plunky beauty as well. This was the track from the album that they chose to play on the last tour and I was very impressed with it at the time. Having heard the recorded version it exceeds expectations.
The overall feel is of an album nearer Countdown to Extinction in tone. Heavy, melodic with some great speed metal fretwork and interesting tweaks in the intros. "Bullet To The Brain" has a nice, twangy guitar intro before launching into something more crunchy and creepy. "Poisonous Shadows" opens with acoustics and has a beautifully orchestral feel to it. I gather the keyboards in the song are done by Kiko and it's a great song. If there's a track I'd like to see a video for, it's this on. Emotional and dark.
The only song which doesn't quite fit is "Foreign Policy", but it is a cover after all. Let's be honest, "Anarchy in the UK" wasn't a natural fit on So Far… either, but it became a mainstay for many years.
Right now I'm just hopping back and forth between the tracks and enjoying dipping into them randomly. A riff change here, a fist-pumping chorus there, a headbang-inducing solo elsewhere. Loving it.
The end result is superb and growing on me with every listen. Is it the next Rust in Peace? No, I doubt anything will top the 1990 classic for me. But it's right up there in a creditable runner-up position and is an album that's going to live up to its "most anticipated" badge given by Loudwire. To those who helped crowdfund it – thank you. And I'm sure you won't be disappointed when you get your paws on it!
Dystopia is out on January 22nd

Sailing Antarctica: The Ultimate Polar Nature Expedition
(Sail from Ushuaia/Fly to Punta Arenas)
17 days with Natural Habitat Adventures Rating:
Day 1: Ushuaia, Argentina
Arrive in the southernmost city in the world, Ushuaia, located at the tip of Tierra del Fuego. Meet your fellow travelers at a welcome dinner on this first evening of your Antarctic adventure.
Day 2: Tierra del Fuego National Park / Maritime & Presidio Museums
This extra day in Ushuaia is included as a "reserve day" if flights are delayed. You don't want to take a chance on missing your sailing tomorrow! But there's plenty to see in the Ushuaia region, too. We've included a half-day tour of scenic Tierra del Fuego National Park, which combines coast, islands, mountains and the southernmost subantarctic Andean forests. Beneath the deciduous lenga, beech and wild cherry trees, we find a moist understory of moss, ferns and peat bog. On easy hikes, look for red fox, guanaco, otter, geese, ducks, woodpeckers and 90 more bird species that are among the native fauna found in the park. The landscape shows typical signs of glacial formation, with broad valleys filled with lakes and rivers alternating with rows of mountain ranges. Throughout the park are signs of its past inhabitants, the Yamanas people.
Following lunch in town, we visit the impressive Maritime and Prison Museums, housed in the former national penitentiary built by convicts who were relocated to this remote region in 1906. The infamous prison, finished in 1920, was designed for 380 inmates, though it held up to 800 before it closed in 1947. The maritime exhibits chronicle the history of seafaring in the area, including a scale model of the ship Magellan sailed in 1520 through the strait that now bears his name. It was Magellan who dubbed this southerly mosaic of islands Tierra del Fuego, meaning "Land of Fire"—a reference to constantly burning fires indigenous people lit to stay warm, even inside their bark canoes. There's free time later this afternoon to explore Ushuaia, a lively tourist town catering to the many adventurous climbers, trekkers and sailors that set forth from here. We'll enjoy dinner together in town this evening.
Day 3: Ushuaia—Board S/V Australis / Beagle Channel
Today our real adventure begins as we board our expedition sailboat Australis in the Ushuaia harbor. The Australis is a 75-foot-long ice-strengthened motorsailer, designed and outfitted to navigate the polar waters of the Southern Ocean. After introductions and a safety orientation, we set out into the calm waters of the Beagle Channel, admiring the endless ridgelines of the mountains that line either side. We're excited to be sailing with one of the world's preeminent mariners in polar waters and his seasoned crew. Drink in the views of Patagonian peaks that unfold as we make our way south, enjoying the long daylight of a southern summer, and dream of the adventures that lie ahead.
Days 4–6: Crossing the Drake Passage
Named for renowned explorer Sir Francis Drake who sailed these waters in 1578, the Drake Passage is notorious for its often-fierce gales, creating large, wind-whipped swells—we're likely to have some raucous sailing! But the Australis is a hardy vessel and her skipper second-to-none—we are in good hands, and the journey is exhilarating. The southern portion of the Drake also marks the Antarctic Convergence, a biological zone where a great upwelling of nutrients draws an amazing variety of seabirds, including many albatrosses that follow in our wake. The first sightings of icebergs and snow-clad mountains indicate that we have reached the South Shetland Islands. The exact timing of our Drake crossing depends on weather and sea conditions, but we generally expect it to take approximately three days. If conditions are favorable, we'll step ashore for our first encounter with penguins and other wildlife of this southern polar wonderland.
Days 7–14: Cruising and Camping on the Antarctic Peninsula
For the next eight days, we follow the best weather and safest water, exploring the bays and fjords of the Antarctic Peninsula. Nothing prepares us for the scale and scope of this icebound wilderness, and the phrase "awe-inspiring" takes on totally new meaning here. Walls of blue ice rise 300 feet from the surface of the steel-gray sea, and it is as if the entire landscape is one massive glacier. Though our environs are austere, these waters are a haven for a remarkable collection of wildlife, including vast penguin rookeries and beaches ruled by Antarctic fur seals and southern elephant seals. Taking advantage of the perpetual light, we spend long days sailing among the icebergs, watching for whales and seals bobbing by. Sometimes, we get so close we can hear a whale blow, and we may even feel the spray. Birdlife is extraordinary, with huge populations of albatrosses, petrels, skuas, gulls, terns and cormorants.
Every day holds something different. While at times we are struck by the depth of the silence, other times we're amidst a cacophony of squawking penguins, honking seals and crackling ice. The kayaks carried on board the Australis allow opportunities to observe wildlife at eye-level, and where landings permit, we step ashore to hike. And, with our special permit from the National Science Foundation, we have the option to camp for up to three nights, weather and local conditions permitting, on deserted beaches, sharing the solitude only with the legions of wildlife. There are few places on the planet where the natural world feels more intact, while we have never felt smaller.
Day 15: King George Island
The only airstrip on the Antarctic Peninsula archipelago that can reliably serve the South American continent on a regular basis is located on King George Island in the South Shetland group. We arrive here today, one day prior to meeting up with our return flight home, as a hedge against potential weather problems. Tomorrow morning, it will be time to say farewell to the Australis and her valiant crew after a fortnight of extraordinary adventure.
Day 16: Fly to Punta Arenas, Chile
Weather permitting, we board our airplane for the 3-hour flight back to Punta Arenas on the southern tip of Chilean Patagonia. On arrival, we check into our hotel. This evening, enjoy a farewell dinner with the group in town, regaling one another with stories and indelible memories of this truly singular adventure.
Day 17: Punta Arenas / Depart
Fly homeward today from Punta Arenas, with a cache of memories to last a lifetime and then some!
All This Included
Intrepid explorers passionate about serious adventure won't find a more exhilarating way to experience Antarctica than on this one-of-a-kind polar expedition. With just seven travelers on a handful of departures each season, this is the most exclusive of opportunities! Explore the Antarctic Peninsula aboard an ice-strengthened motorsailer, surrounded by seals, whales, penguins and icebergs. In a world where "adventure travel" has become a relative term, we've reclaimed it with this total immersion in the planet's last, most pristine wilderness. While larger, well-appointed ships have made Antarctica travel downright cushy, they have also removed travelers from a primal encounter with nature. Our exclusive small-boat voyage—with a world-class skipper and seasoned polar crew—brings it back. This genuine adventure will reward expeditionary travelers with a rare experience of one of the most remote and magnificent places on Earth.

Here's a story combining two topics that generated a lot of discussion on YLF recently: plus sized models and nudity in the fashion media.
French Marie Claire chose larger models to showcase a bathing costume and lingerie line in their June edition. Quite refreshing. I enjoy seeing all sorts of body types represented in fashion shoots – after all, that's the reality on the street.
Of course, the definition of "plus size" can be debated, but the models here are definitely a lot curvier than the norm for their profession.
We don't see many larger models in fashion magazines so its newsworthy when it happens. This would not have happened 15 years ago, but the fashion world still has a long way to go if it wants all of its audience to feel like their body types are represented. I'm not sure they will ever get that part right, but I'm hopeful. Every year the media seems to be moving in the right direction with shoots like this and Lane Bryant's recent television commercial.
Nudity is commonplace in European advertising, so it's no surprise that one of the models is topless. She looks magnificent. Remember that this is French Marie Claire and it's common for ladies to tan topless in France, so this type of coverage probably doesn't kick up any fuss over there.
I originally read about this in the Huffington Post, but proceed with caution because the article contains images that might not be suitable for your work environment. Be especially careful if you work in Investment Banking.

Sweet potato breakfast hash is a super simple brunch or breakfast recipe that can be prepared the morning of or the night before! This simple hash is only 6 ingredients and is packed full of flavor and nutrition! This recipe is naturally gluten free, paleo, Whole30, and has a vegan option!
Why this recipe works:
- Breakfast hash is incredibly satisfying. The smoky paprika paired with the sweet potatoes and slightly crispy brussel sprouts create a sweet and savory combo that is hard to resist!
- Add a few eggs right to the top of the hash and put it in the oven to create a full meal in just one pan!
- Leave the eggs off the vegan sweet potato hash and it can be used for breakfast or for a side dish for dinner.
- To save time, you can make oven poached eggs while the sweet potato hash is cooking.
- Great for meal prep! Easy to heat up in the microwave or on the stove for a quick and healthy breakfast during the week!
Why sweet potatoes are great for breakfast:
Sweet potatoes are packed with nutrition! Full of fiber, Vitamin A and potassium, they are a great way to start your day! Sweet potatoes are a complex carbohydrate and can fuel your morning! Pair with protein and a little healthy fat (like an egg or two) and you have a perfectly satisfying meal!
How to make sweet potato hash:
- Preheat the oven to 375F (if cooking eggs)
- Start by washing off the sweet potatoes and peeling them (optional). Cube the sweet potatoes into about ¾ inch cubes (just a bit larger than dice).
- Place the sweet potatoes in a large glass bowl and cook them in the microwave on high for 5 minutes. (optional to save time).
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Add avocado oil and carefully add the semi-cooked sweet potatoes from the microwave (the glass may be hot – use oven mitts).
- While the sweet potato is cooking, quarter the brussel sprouts.
- Add the brussel sprouts after the potatoes have been cooking for about 4-5 minutes in the hot pan.
- Cook the brussels sprouts and sweet potato together in the pan over medium heat for about 5-6 minutes until the brussel sprouts have started to cook through and caramelize in places.
- Add the salt, garlic powder and paprika to the veggies and stir well. Turn off the heat.
- Make 4 "indentations" for the eggs to cook in the sweet potato/veggie mixture.
- Crack 4 eggs separately and add them to the indentations.
- Place the pan in a preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until the eggs are cooked through.
- Remove from oven and serve hot.
Time saving tips:
- To save time, you can buy sweet potatoes already peeled and cubed from the store.
- You can make shaved brussels sprouts using your food processor instead of cutting them into quarters. These brussel sprouts will cook up quicker in the saute pan.
- Make oven poached eggs while the sweet potatoes and brussel sprout hash is cooking to have everything ready together in under 20 minutes.
Tips on cooking sweet potatoes faster:
Make sure to cut the sweet potatoes uniformly. The smaller the cut, the faster they cook. Aim for the size of a really large dice.
Microwave the sweet potatoes before cooking them. This will make sure the insides of the sweet potatoes start to cook before they hit the hot pan.
- Note: If you don't microwave the sweet potatoes, you will need to cook them for about 10 minutes on the stove with a lid on the potatoes for the first 6-7 minutes.
To make this sweet potato hash the night before:
- Simply cook the sweet potatoes and brussels sprouts as indicated in the instructions and season the veggies well.
- After cooking, allow the veggies to cool.
- The next morning, preheat the oven and place everything in the skillet or in a sheet pan. Crack the eggs and cook at 375F for 9-10 minutes or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
Can you leave the skins on sweet potatoes?
Yes! This hash is great with the skin left on or peeled. This will be completely up to you! The sweet potato skins are full of fiber and packed with vitamins and minerals.
What to serve with sweet potato hash
For brunch:
For dinner:
How to add protein for vegan sweet potato hash:
Instead of eggs, you can stir in drained and rinsed:
If you like this Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash you should also try:
- Apple Brussels Sprouts Hash
- Easy Ground Beef and Sweet Potato Rice Breakfast Skillet Recipe
- Quick Apple Sweet Potato Hash
- Paleo Sweet Potato Waffles
What you need to make this recipe:
A good cast iron skillet. Cast iron allows the veggies to get nice and crispy and can easily transfer from the stove to the oven! If you don't have cast iron, a stainless steel skillet would work also.

Shark Steam Mop For Wood Laminate Floors - With the ever increasing popularity of hardwood floors and also the renewed look which is given into a drab and boring room with installing a brand new hardwood floor, consumers installed and have selected hardwood flooring material than all other alternatives accessible combined. Free of expiration dates on the internal beauty of a hardwood flooring, hardwood floors provide comfort for extended amounts of time with the easy cleaning and increased longevity.
There is almost an unlimited amount of hardwood flooring selections open to consumers from unfinished designed with attributes which raise styling and the general durability of a selected style and colour. As expected, together with the increased durability, the price per square foot improved too, surmounting to the overall price per square foot transcending income levels of consumers with restricted incomes, before the introduction of vinyl wood flooring.
Vinyl wood flooring fills the void between the importance of affordable option flooring and also the most inexpensive hardwood flooring that is both economical, simple to install with robust durability for active families with little kids and pets.
Vinyl wood flooring is basically maintenance free, requiring no waxing or additional attention beyond occasional damp mopping and ordinary dusting. Installed by interlocking seams on end and each side of the vinyl flooring panel, installation is often accomplished with the support of a couple buddies in under a day, with regards to how big the room to be finished.

Digital Sports Fans Are Becoming Stadiums' Biggest Online Influencers With 71% of Spectators Posting on Social Media While at the Game
SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwired - August 24, 2016) - A new report commissioned by Avaya and conducted by Spider Marketing shows that today's sports fan is demanding more from their game day experience than ever before. With mobile devices in hand, sports fans are conducting more and more online activities while at the game, including accessing information and social sharing, which make network connectivity crucial -- not just a nice-to-have. The report, Connected Sports Fans 2016, is based on 5,000 sports fans from the UK, USA and Australia who have visited a stadium within the last 12 months and own a mobile device.
The spirit of the sports community is going digital as fans move away from being passive spectators towards live engagement and broadcasting. Standard mobile features like cameras for videos and photos, social media apps, and instant messaging have changed the way sports fans engage with their teams and each other during live stadium events. The data indicates that 89% of fans take pictures of others while at a game, 71% take selfies, and a whopping 89% of 18 to 24 year-olds create videos when they visit a stadium.
The shift from viewer to broadcaster is most evident when digital behavior within particular age groups is observed: 90% of 18 to 34 year olds admitted to posting on social media while at the stadium. And it's the younger generation who is sharing their experiences with an ever wider audience, as they will post content more publicly compared to the next generation of fans who selectively share.
Findings of Note:
The digitally connected fan is becoming a venue's biggest online influencer. The trend for public postings, particularly within the 18-34 year-old age group, is a sign of far more user-generated content to come in the future. Stadiums can take advantage of this public broadcasting to increase visibility, enhance team support and drive interest for future live attendance of events.
To satisfy the digital fans' high expectations, stadiums need to create an integrated digital experience that uses online solutions to generate higher attendance. What's more, stadium apps with video and social features, digital offers direct to mobile phones and game information on digital boards can increase fan engagement and generate new revenue opportunities.

John Chamberlain is an American artist best-known for his sculptures made of old automobile parts. He attended the Art Institute of Chicago and moved to New York upon graduation. In 1957, be started working with scrap metal from cars. The car parts were welded and contorted into compact shapes, which he then spray-painted. His sculptures vary in size, the heaviest series weighing about 300 lbs. It is said that Chamberlain brought the "Abstract Expressionist style of painting into three dimensions."
In 1961, Chamberlain was shown in the "Art of Assemblage" exhibition held at the MoMA. His work was shown along with Marcel Duchamp and Pablo Picasso, and from there he was invited to participate in shows all around Europe. Chamberlain also created some paintings and folded foam pieces in the early 1960s, but never strayed too far from to his signature material. In 2011, Chamberlain sold Nutcracker(1958) from the Allan Stone Estate for $4.7 million, his highest auction price to date. Chamberlain passed away later that same year.
John Chamberlain has work featured in the permanent collections of the Chinati Foundationin Marfa, Texas, the Guggenheim Museum,the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum Ludwigin Cologne, the Tate Modernin London, the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Modernain Rome, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Kunstmuseum Winterthurin Switzerland, the Moderna Museetin Stockholm, the Centre Pompidouin Paris, the Museum Moderner Kunst in Vienna, the Museum Brandhorstin Munich, the Philadelphia Museum of Artand the Walker Art Centerin Minneapolis.

PhD defence: In the Eyes of the Beholder June 24, 2008Posted by Malene Charlotte Larsen in Academic, PhD.
My colleague and friend Anders Albrechtslund will be defending his PhD dissertation next Monday. The dissertation is called "In the Eyes of the Beholder: Introducing participation and ethics to surveillance" and is a collection of seven published papers.
Anders writes about his dissertation:
The main focus of the dissertation is to understand surveillance, and participation and ethics have been ways to grasp the concept. I introduce the concept "participatory surveillance" to emphasize aspects of surveillance practices which are not adequately expressed in the current surveillance studies literature… […] This way of grasping surveillance might be in stark contrast to the everyday understanding of something unpleasant and unwanted, which terrifies and controls its passive victims, a description we know so well from depictions in books, films and TV series. However, when certain everyday social relations are studied, e.g. online social networking, these practices can be described as active, positive engagements with surveillance. Consequently, there seems to be more to surveillance than meets the eye.
Especially, I find Anders' paper on "Online Social Networking as Participatory Surveillance" interesting. Here, the practice of online social networking is conceptualised in relation to the social and playful aspects of surveillance.
I wish Anders the best of luck with the defence and look forward to attending the event.

Grasping the undercurrent consumer today, the hipster, starts with understanding what appeals to them and why. I'll start with branding basics, the logo, to cultivate an idea of core principles behind in hipster-friendly brands. From there, we'll shift into what makes a hipster tribe, how to create brand buzz, and why the art of doing nothing is the best strategy for hipster brands.
In the last couple years, we've seen a push away from composite logos and a push toward simpler more text-reliant logos. If there is a graphic element, the graphic conforms to or works with the text. Reference, for example, the TIME article called "Here's what Hipster Brand Logos Would Look Like if They Were Redesigned to be Corporate."
According to the article, "Cornett, a Kentucky ad agency that does creative for A&W, decided to take on the task of shaving off brands' handlebar mustaches for a more clean cut look." The article itself tells you what we need to know about branding shifts, which is that we're moving away from corporate presence and they're in favor of a "cleaner" simpler aesthetic. People don't respond to chunky corporate logos. Not only do they not favor a corporate aesthetic, they don't like the stone wall mentality of a corporation. Consumers want to interact with the product or service. We want to feel like we're a part of the story – and a corporate brand just doesn't allow for that.
Zinteractive Blog wrote an article called "Principles of Hipster Marketing," in which they described how Hipsters love to feel like they're making a difference. If you recall last week's article on iPad Air's advertisement, you'll recall how they also including this millennial group by having a branch off marketing campaign called "Your Verse". The idea was the open the platform to consumers by inviting them to share how they use the Apple product to do same.
As much as hipsters love to be individuals, they're in fact part of a rich dense clout. Malcom Gladwell called them tribes; groups of people that make up your community. They think like you, act like you, and share similar beliefs. And despite their own best efforts, hipsters very well marketed to brand giants. In fact, marketing has become quite adept in manipulating this tribe to push their own brands.
Take the example of PBR beer. An article by the The Context of Things titled "PBR and Hipsters: Maybe the Best Marketing is to Avoid the Big Marketing, Eh?" shared how they targeted this demographic. First they purposefully denied celebrity offers for endorsement (and made it public, ensuring everyone knew about it). Then they favored the locals, "they sponsored were the Portland hipsters. They sponsored skateboarding meets, art galleries, independent publishers, and they did it in such a way as to not appear corporate. With every little event they sponsored, they built their network, they built brand loyalty among subcultures that hate corporations, hate marketing, and were previously thought immune to such tactics. Having Kid Rock endorse them would have cost 500k, hiring 10 reps per city to go convince small bars and neighborhood institutions to carry PBR cost the same and was much more effective."
The brand element to watch here is how PBR for example defined themselves. They established a brand based on the consumer, rather than a separate identifier that they only after would try and connect to the audience. So rather, for example, than having a beer they tried to brand as relatable, PBR became relatable. PBR was already known for its marginal cost and scarcity – two seeming drawbacks that they harvested as strengths, which they would have lost if they chased celebrity endorsements.

Is it love?Posted by EdotR at 2:01 PM
No cars, no home, not even putting clothes in the hamper, in the end I ask: "Is that love?"
That is a good question Aimée, hell it's a great question!!
Is it love?
Is it love that makes us tolerate these behaviors from our opposite sex?
Or is it fear of being along?
Or masochism?
Or is it just things that we've grown accustomed to?
Or all of the above.
When Vader would bitch because Vietnam would be obsessed with cleaning or leaving dirty towels on the doorknob (yes, he is a very odd, extreme man), he would just shrug his shoulders, apologize and do it all over again the next day.
As the years progressed, Vader stopped bitching every day. Every now and then she'd do it, but she kind of just stopped the main dramatic show she used to put.
Her explanation: There are some things you cannot change.
So, either you go with the flow or you die of a massive heart attack?
Is that what she tried to teach me?
I have never been a 'go with the glow' gal. I refuse to believe that: that is just the way it is.
I believe in Pavlov and ABA and all modification techniques.
I believe some things can be changed.
I believe I don't have to tolerate certain things because I love some one.
I believe some people tolerate things, NOT because they love some one. They do it because they've grown accustomed to it or in Vader's case, she feared being alone.
Until she realized being alone wasn't so bad and flew the coop. Now, there is no way in hell she is going back to Vietnam and the life she had.
She realized it was not love what held her in the house. It was the routine, the custom of just putting up with it and being a good wife. In her upbringing women had to be prepared to put up with a lot of crap.
I thank God know that this is no longer true.
I loved my Ex. We had a fairly good marriage, but there were somethings I was not willing to stand for and vice versa. Love played no part in this. In fact the only part Love played was leaving all together.
I put up with certain things because deep down inside, beneath the layer of sarcasm and hardcore bitchiness, lies a woman who is a firm believer that people deserve a break and that maybe I might be too hard on folks. I think, "Jeez Mary lighten up a little".
I don't know if you people are getting this.
It's like my kid for example. I don't put up with her bad behavior because I love her. I don't put up with it, period. If I put up with her bad behavior because I loved her, I'd be encouraging it. Instead, I try to correct it, I divorce myself from my kid when it comes to her discipline. But I don't completely abandon her, because I know that with a little guidance she'll be just fine.
I feel the same way about relationships. It isn't love that makes me tolerate certain behaviors, in fact I rarely tolerate inadequate behaviors all together, but I stick it through because deep down inside I feel that with a little guidance we'll be just fine.
But this all looks much better in writing than in the actual field.
In conclusion,
I talk a lot of crap.
Most of it not making any sense.
But as the lovely Tina Turner might say: "What's love got to do with it?"
I think, nothing at all.
