Two more items down, albeit with the same excursion.
Yesterday I took the son to a rec center to meet a new friend.
Way back in August when I was interviewing for my current position, my mom took my son to the park while I was gone all day. There he met another little boy who was only 4 days younger than him and the same size (my son is fairly little)! They became immediate playmates and had a great time.
Well, yesterday, they got to see each other again. My mom was smart enough to get that mother's phone number (well, they texted pictures to each other, which helped with the exchange). She passed the number on to me so that I could set up a playdate for my son.
You guys, this was hard!
I am NOT a social person. I am REALLY not a social person when I don't know the person. So meeting up with a complete stranger with the intention of letting our sons play, which meant I had to sit and make conversation with someone I didn't know for a couple hours? WAY WAY WAY outside my comfort zone.
Not that I would ever admit that or appear that way if you met me in person. I was once accused of being able to talk to a tree. Unfortunately fairly accurate, although whether I WANTED to talk to the tree was a different story.
However, I did it for my kid. And you know what? As expected, it really wasn't that bad. The boys got along great. They completely tired each other out. And we're already making plans to get together again.
Additionally, I enjoyed talking to his mom. Although I need to remember my Spanish as she spoke that to her son and I only understood pieces.
Afterwards we went to grab groceries and he got spoiled by a coconut macaroon!
So item #77 (have a mommy-son day) and item #91 (find a friend for son): Check and check!
We did get pictures but none of them were great and they are all on her phone, so instead, here's my pup who is the best dog ever and who is unfortunately living in Montana right now. It was his birthday yesterday. Happy birthday Wazzu!
I have suffered from depression on and off my entire life. That was part of the reason for the list of 100 things. A way to actually feel like I'm working towards something, and a quantitative measure of my progression.
I've always been happiest if I have a project to work on. Idleness and me don't really get along.
But I've realized there's more to it than just that. In the last 3 years, I've had no time to myself. No time to curl up and read a book, or to take a nap. No time to do whatever I wanted to do without fear of interruption.
I didn't realize until recently how much I was missing that, and how important it is to my ability to function.
So while we're only 19 days in, this year I'm focusing on taking more time for me. I went to the coffee shop last weekend. I enjoyed my time so much (and that wasn't even productive time since for some reason my computer refused to connect to the internet), this week I went again. I sat and read my book for an hour until the hubby let me know the kids were up from their naps and we had places to be.
Amazingly rejuvenating. It's wasn't much time, but it made a difference. I was so grumpy before I went, and so much better when I left.
But that wasn't all I did today to help allay the depression.
When I'm depressed, I hide. I hide from people, I hide from contact, I hide from civilization. I can't necessarily hide from my kids, but really that's not always a good thing. When I hide, I hide indoors. I bury myself from the light of day.
Interpretation: no sunlight. No vitamin D. No warmth and UV rays.
Today I went outside. I played with the puppy. It was gorgeous outside. Warm enough that I was in a tank top with my pants rolled up. It was fantastic.
The kid came out too. (And for the record, he puts his own hat on backwards. Not sure where he got that, but it's pretty cute. Even the hubby's hat isn't usually backwards.)
We had a great time. But I think the puppy had the most fun.
Who knows, I might even have gotten a little bit of color. The sun felt amazing, either way.
The other project I did today was something I've been toying with for awhile. As I stated in the very first post on this blog, I wanted to list a reason each day why I was contented with my life, as that's something I've been struggling with. Especially since the move. However, I've been failing big time with that. It's not that I don't have reasons, although I admit some days I would have to think harder than others. I just don't typically think about the fact that I'm supposed to be coming up with things each day, until several days have gone by and then I can't remember. (Mommy brain is HORRIBLE! I keep hoping my short term memory will come back some day, but seeing as the daughter was awake until 11 pm and then up at 4 am, sleep deprivation is hindering that return.)
I've been toying with the idea of having a jar where we can write things down as we think of them or as they happen, and put them in the jar so we can then look through all the papers at the end of the year. This way the hubby can participate too. And maybe the kids if we like the idea and continue it to the point they're able to read and write. I don't remember where I got the idea, maybe something I saw on Pinterest? But it stuck with me.
However, I hadn't actually done anything about the idea.
Today I wandered a shop with my mother and found this:
It's perfect. It's pretty, it matches my rather eclectic decor. And it's some sort of metal so while I don't plan on putting it within reach of the baby, at least it's not overly breakable! Completely necessary in a house full of kids. Ok, well, only two and a 100 lb dog, but that definitely feels like a houseful sometimes!
First items in the jar:
– Awesome date night with hubby last night (3 out of 52!)- Wii Mariokart (we used to have full-on battles but haven't even turned it on since the son was born) and gelato!
– Amazing day of sun and coffee and me time today
– And I'm sure if the Seahawks pull off a win, the hubby will be adding that to the jar. 🙂
There's a blog post going viral around the internet right now. Ok, well, there's tons. I usually ignore them as much as possible.
But this one caught my attention for some reason.
The post is written by a pastor about how he is married but still dating someone. Of course, the post title is meant to get you all up in arms about how someone can act like that. How can someone publicly announce that he/she is married but still going on dates? Of course, you realize pretty quick (or you figure it out before you even click the link) that of course he's talking about dating his wife.
This hit home pretty hard for me. The hubby and I used to go on dates all the time. He was only home on weekends- we always went out to eat or to the movies.
But that changed about 3.5 years ago when I got pregnant with my son. Everything screeched to a halt. We stopped going on dates, we were lucky to even sit on the couch at the same time anymore. And that hasn't improved in the time since.
We're working on it though! Two dates already this year! Ok, one was sitting on the couch watching a movie together and the other was the two of us going to dinner with friends. But whatever. It was time together, no kids! It counts!
Now just 50 more to go to fulfill item #36! Totally doable! 🙂
(No, this picture wasn't recent. It was this summer at Glacier National Park. Couldn't find a recent pic of the two of us- obviously need to fix that!)
I graduated school with a lot of loans.
Like a mortgage worth of loans.
I started out on the 10 year repayment program, and my first job was taken specifically because of loan repayment programs offered by the state. We were gonna have those loans gone in 4 years! Then that job turned horrible. I left after 10 months, walking away from dirt cheap living and a loan repayment offer of $80k from the state. I extended my loans to the 30 year payment plan because we couldn't afford the payments while moving otherwise.
Of course, as soon as we got settled, we'd increase the payments again! Snort, yeah right.
My next job was a vast improvement. But then we got pregnant and bought a house, and while we always made the payments on time, we never increased the amount. We did make some progress thanks to a small settlement and some generosity from the parents, and I paid off a chunk with money left over after paying hospital bills this last May, so our payoff date worked it's way up to 2022.
Over the last 4 years I've come up with multiple plans to get the loans paid off early. (The hubby just sits by and goes along with whatever crazy plan I come up with- including sending him to North Dakota for 6 months when our son was just 6 months old. That was a disaster.) Needless to say, while we've made steady progress and never missed a payment, none of the plans have worked. But the one thing that kept me going was the fact that if I failed at every single plan, at least the loans would be paid off in 2022.
However, as much as I liked my last job, it wasn't good on the family life. I worked long days, including many overnights. Hubby was also gone many nights. Our schedules were totally opposite, our marriage was struggling because we never saw each other (we had one day a week off together that was spent almost entirely running errands), and I never got time with my kids.
We once again decided it was time to make a change. I took the job in Utah. We decided that the hubby needed to find a job that would have him at home every night instead of driving long haul, so he found a job at a local ski resort making just enough money to cover insurance and daycare. Our household income had dropped by about 30% with the move. Suddenly I found myself struggling to pay even the minimum payments as they'd been set for 4.5 years. I made them (well, they were on autopay so they made themselves) but then I wondered whether I was going to have enough money to buy food, or pay the rent. And yet I wasn't giving up, because at least they were going to get paid off in 2022!
Well, last night I finally had a CTJ with myself, thanks to the help of some friends.
I'm letting go of my goal to pay the loans off as quickly as possible. I moved to a place I swore I'd never live from the place I wanted to live forever, and left an exciting (although tumultuous) job to do so. I gave up the lifestyle I wanted for a lifestyle that was better for my family. Given that I'd already made those hard decisions, why was this one being so difficult?
So last night I applied for a consolidation loan that will decrease my payments while extending the repayment term. No more being done in 2022. But an easier time for us financially.
This was one of the hardest decisions I've made in a long time. I hate having those loans over my head and so every move I've made for 5 years has been to get them gone. I am finally deciding to put my family first.
This will have an impact on my list of 100 things, unfortunately. Item #17 was to pay off $15,000 in debt, which already would have been a stretch given that we are starting new jobs and having to reestablish our emergency fund. Now it's definitely not going to happen, unless I have a huge income change in the next year.
So maybe my brain is continuing to ruminate on potential business ideas that could improve our income in the future. I haven't figured out how to shut that down entirely yet. But I chose family over financial freedom. At least actions speak louder than thoughts, right?
Today turned out to be a pretty good day!
It started out by being able to sleep in a little bit, which was even better after a full night's sleep (thanks hubby!).
Then a nice relaxing morning, including baby girl snuggles.
It's been a long time since she's fallen asleep on me other than at bedtime. This is one of my favorite parts of having babies! (And she's never been as much of a snuggler as her brother was when he was little, which just makes it even better!)
The fabulous day continued when I took myself out to lunch at a coffee shop, item #60! And ok, it was just a coffee shop, but it was a glorious 1.5 hours all to myself where I sat and worked on blog posts for my new blog. That blog is going to be a lot of work. So exciting! And it was fantastic being able to sit and type without constant questions from the 2 year old or constant fending of baby girl hands off my keyboard!
2 items down, 98 to go!
Way back when we started trying to have kids, I knew with absolutely certainty that I wanted a boy. In fact, I wanted multiple boys. You could sort of say I was more ambivalent about having a girl, except that I wasn't sure it was ambivalence as much as flat-out not wanting one.
I was a total tomboy growing up. What the hell would I do with a girl?
And you know that being a tomboy, I would end up with the frilliest girliest girl around. No thank you.
When I was pregnant with my son, I was so convinced he was a girl that I gave myself pep talk after pep talk, to the point I was almost disappointed that he was a boy. Then I relapsed to a total fear of having a girl the second time around.
So of course, there she was.
Today, nine months into this whole having a girl thing, I can say it's one of the best things that ever happened to me.
Maybe it's just that I'm much more relaxed around babies than I used to be (I had never held an infant before having my son).
But whatever the reason, I have had so much fun with her since day 1. I love having a daughter, and I can't wait to see the person she turns into as she grows up.
Happy 9 months, baby girl.
(And see, I've even learned how to dress her like a girl- mostly thanks to my friends who refused to let me dress her like a boy…) 🙂

Paris Restaurants: Chez Paul
The weather has long since turned in Paris, and the cool, crisp air is now the norm. Instead of fighting winter's fury, I'm trying to embrace it, and there's no better way to warm up than to take my pick of Paris restaurants and wedge into a crowded bistro for some homestyle French specialties.
Walking into Chez Paul on a recent Saturday night, I was greeted with the exact bistro experience I was craving.
Finding the Finest Natural French Wine in Paris
If you're a fan of French wine and haven't enjoyed a bottle of vin naturel yet, now is the time to discover the exhilarating by-product of biodynamic vines and an organic approach to wine making. A good place to start your search for natural French wine is at any one of a number of Paris restaurants, caves or bars à vin that sell low-sulfite, high-flavor varieties.
Vivant Table
It was with some trepidation that I ventured into Vivant Table to try Pierre Jancou's recently updated Paris bistro. Vivant opened in April of 2011 to mostly rave reviews, but Girls' Guide founder Doni Belau had a less-than-perfect experience when she dined there, with beyond poor service and inedible items on the plate. So I was curious to see where things would fall for me.
Les Saisons
The 9th Arrondissement is becoming quite the food mecca, with dozens of new Paris restaurants continuing to open each year. Les Affranchis, L'Office and Le Pantruche are all newbies, just to name a few. All have opened to much acclaim, and now it's time to add Les Saisons to the growing number of new bistros in the area.
Tucked away on a small street off rue de Maubeuge […]
Le Bistrot Paul Bert
I first visited Bistrot Paul Bert almost five years ago, and I'm delighted to report that little has changed since then—or even since the Girls' Guide ran its first ode to this resto two years ago. (Guilty as charged! Just one visit is not enough.) Still packed, and as brash and belly-busting as ever, Paul Bert is one of my favorite Paris bistros. Facing several weeks away, I wanted to go for a last supper of sorts.
Schmidt—L'Os à Moelle
When I received an invitation to dine at a Paris restaurant with an Alsatian bent, my stomach turned over as I flashed back to my pork-laden romp through the Christmas markets in Strasbourg and Colmar a few months ago. I had barely finished digesting the pork knuckle and cheese-covered potatoes from December, but I was told Schmidt—L'Os a Moelle would be a different culinary experience.
Le Galopin
I had a foodie friend visiting me recently, and I wanted to take her to a Paris bistro off the beaten path. Luckily there are many rising young chefs who are taking the rue less traveled and opening restaurants in some of the outer arrondissements. Not only is the rent cheaper, but the crowds can be more eclectic and open to straying from the more traditional beef bourguignon–type French fare. Le Galopin fit the bill on all accounts. The winner of French Top Chef in 2010, Romain Tischenko, is at the helm, making inventive cuisine in the 10th.
Le Baratin
On a recent Friday it was a rainy day in Paris for what seemed like the hundredth time. I was debating whether it was even worth it to venture outside in the wet mess when I got a call from a friend who asked me to join her at the cozy Paris bistro Le Baratin for some good French home cooking. It sounded like the perfect cure for my rain-dampened blues.

Call us today at 859-295-3938 for new patients, or call at 859-368-8260 for existing patients to find out if mini implants are right for you. Our office is at the corner of Leestown Road and Trade Street – not far from the VA Medical Center.
Mini Implants Work When Regular Implants Aren't an Option
Like standard-sized implants, mini implants allow us to help many patients enjoy a full set of teeth again. Because they're smaller and less invasive than standard implants, mini implants also offer you these advantages:
- Shorter, more comfortable healing process
- More affordable teeth replacement option
- Easier placement procedure
We can use mini implants when you've lost jawbone mass and you're not a good candidate for standard implants or a bone grafting procedure. Their small size means that they need less healthy bone material to bond to.
These small implants also allow us to offer same-day smile procedures to our patients. Because the healing time is shorter for mini implants – days instead of months – our dentists can often place new implant-retained dentures at the same appointment as the implants. You can walk in without any teeth, then leave our office later on with new implants and fully functioning replacement teeth. That is the beauty of these small dental marvels!
Mini dental implants may be just what you've been searching for! Call us today to schedule your no-obligation consultation appointment: 859-295-3938 for new patients, or 859-368-8260 for existing patients. Get back what you've been missing!

Toronto. Arthur Fellig was a New York City photographer famous for his flash shots of crime scenes and his often arrival at a crime scene before the authorities (hence his nickname of Weegee, a phonetic version of Ouija Board. James Adams of the Globe and Mail wrote an Arts article on Friday, October 16, 2015 on this unique photographer and author.
While his work was passed off as far less than the quality images of Walker Evans or Edward Steichen, they have gained stature over time, showing the moody, noir underbelly of NYC of the 1930s and 40s.
The Ryerson Image Centre in downtown Toronto is featuring Fellig's images through to December 13, 2015. Drop in and see Fellig's strong images taken with a single flash and a 4×5 Speed Graphic.
Never modest, Weegee stamped the back of his prints with the logo "Credit Photo by Weegee the Famous" and dropped them off at the many New York City newspapers of the day.

Opinions are my own and are not necessarily those of any organization or group.
Good one. I believe AOC wants to exceed Joe Stalin's socialist insanity.
I'm still reeling from the shock I experienced when AOC actually said something I agreed with! She wants to get rid of DHS, an agency that was redundant the day it was created. It's just another bloated government bureaucracy that we all have to support, and they have shown themselves many times to be bullies to our citizenry. Like many bloated bureaucracies at the federal level that have never achieved their original mission statements, like the Dept. of Energy and Dept. of Education, they need to GO! I seem to recall that the federal government is now the second largest employer in the United States. That's just TOO big!

Name: Acer green S
Family: Aceraceae
Country of origin: Japan, China, Korea
Pot diameter: 15 cm
Height: 30 cm
History and curiosities: The changing of the leaves color every season makes this tree one of the most spectacular Japanese bonsai.
Deciduous bonsai
The particularity of this bonsai of Acer is to have wonderful light green leaves, with a fine red border on the sides.
It is always a palmate maple, but the foliage, open bearing upwards, is more thinner than other species of Maples. However, this does not detract from its elegance, even more enhanced by the reddish shades present on its branches.
Small in size, it is still great to start the bonsa experience: following some simple care will reward you with a beautiful vegetation. In spring, summer and autumn it is convenient to keep it in partial shade. In winter it still likes light, but with low temperatures it should be sheltered in a cold greenhouse or under a roof or a porch.
If the temperature falls below 10 ° C the plant suffers.
The ideal substrate for the green maple Bonsai is slightly acid and well drained, because it can not stand stagnation. It should be irrigated just enough to keep the soil always moist. With very hot, it is good to irrigate it or at least spray it on the leaves to prevent the hot shots from drying out.
Fertilization must be constant throughout the vegetative period with slow release bonsai fertilizer.

Kari Lawrence
As a call center representative for Mayo Clinic Health System, Kari Lawrence answers about 100 phone calls each day from patients calling in the southwest region. Combined with more than 40 others on her team based in Mankato, they collectively take between 20,000 and 25,000 calls each week.
"The majority of the calls are people calling in to schedule appointments," Lawrence said. "Sometimes they have questions or concerns and if we can't answer them, we make sure we get them to the right people. Sometimes that means messaging doctors, sometimes that means talking to nurses."
With more than 20 clinics in the local district, Lawrence needs to be resourceful and have a broad knowledge base to do her job well. When she started her position last summer, the first month was a challenge.

"Each new document is like a puzzle to be solved," says Alex Koon, legal operations specialist with Travelers in St. Paul, Minnesota. "I'm very analytical and observant – it's very easy for me to learn and memorize rules."
Centralizing this function helps Travelers better support its claim legal staff counsel organization with greater efficiency, accuracy, and organization. Travelers' legal teams across the country are now able to access documents quickly, and the employees in our claim staff counsel offices can focus on the legal issues.
To help staff these two Business Resource Centers – the other one is in Hartford, Conn. – Travelers partnered with Lifeworks Services to develop a customized program where candidates were screened, interviewed, and initially hired by Lifeworks for an eight-week training period.
" We greatly appreciate your generosity, and your confidence and trust in Lifeworks. "
" Very Well Done Event! Fantastic Celebration! Loved the Band! Thank You! "
Midwest Rubber
For Nicole Laufers, one of the four Lifeworks associates at Midwest Rubber, this position has allowed her to make tremendous strides, both personally and professionally.
Prior to joining the Midwest Rubber crew, Laufers had never stayed in one role or organization for very long.
When she initially was hired, Laufers had a difficult time transitioning from a recreation-based program to working every day.
"She's night and day from the day that she started here and where she is today," said Lifeworks Job Coach Kristina Skiles. "I am so proud of that girl. She's pretty excited to say that she's been here a year. It's huge for her and her family."

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – In August, Winston-Salem Industries for the Blind began shipping 100 cargo parachutes a month to be used by the U.S. military for cargo drops in Afghanistan.
And with more military personnel returning from the Gulf War, the nonprofit agency expects its revenue from eyeglasses it manufactures and sells at 21 Veterans Administration hospitals to increase this year to as much $15 million from $12 million last.
With 800 employees, including 420 who are blind or legally blind, Winston-Salem Industries for the Blind operates with an annual budget of $100 million and is the largest employer of blind individuals in North Carolina and the largest of 87 similar agencies throughout the U.S., says David Horton, its executive director.
The group operates at 41 locations throughout the U.S., including manufacturing plants in Winston-Salem, Asheville and Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, and generates about $60 million in revenue through military contracts.
"We take care of the solider in the field through military products," Horton says. "We take care of the soldier's family on the base through a commissary program."
The agency, for example, makes advanced-combat helmet pads, advanced-combat shirts and shipboard mattresses.
It also generates about $40 million in revenue from other products.
In addition to making and selling eyeglasses for veterans, for example, the agency operates Paperclips Etc. office-supply stores at 15 military bases and other locations, and makes and sells mattresses for the University of North Carolina system, private colleges and universities in North Carolina, and military bases in North Carolina and elsewhere.
Textiles represent a big part of business at the agency, which has developed a long-term relationship with Winston-Salem-based Hanesbrands.
Hanesbrands has donated equipment for use in the agency's three manufacturing plants, including a cutting machine for the Winston-Salem plant that makes t-shirts for the military.
Operated by a legally-blind employee, the cutting machine would have cost $250,000 if purchased new, Horton says.
Over the past three years, he says, equipment Hanesbrands donated, worth at least $1 million, has helped create and support 30 new jobs for people who are blind, he says.
And because the equipment is complicated, employees have had to acquire new skills to use it, he says.
That is important, he says, because a big focus at Winston-Salem Industries for the Blind is training employees, and then retraining them to handle new products.
"We always have new products in the works," he says.
The contract for the new cargo parachute, for example, will generate $600,000 a year, with the opportunity to grow, says Jeanne Wilkinson, the agency's vice president of business strategies.
Also growing is the agency's eyeglass business.
Launched in 2001, annual revenues from the business grew to $12 million last year from $8 million three years earlier and are expected to grow another $2 million to $3 million over the next year.
In recognition of its partnership with Hanesbrands, Winston-Salem Industries for the Blind this year presented the company with its 2010 Commodore Funderburk Visionary Award.
Mike Faircloth, senior vice president of global supply chain support at Hanesbrands, has served as a member of the agency's board and as a volunteer for nearly 10 years.
"We value our relationship with Hanesbrands," Horton says, "as their contributions over the years have helped to change lives for people who are blind."

Reporting to head of communications Clare Walker, Darling is one of two press officers in a nine-strong comms team. He joins amid the authority's review of special-needs school provision.
'Many people, particularly parents, have views about the review of special-needs education, and are expressing them through local press. I am responding to these views,' Darling said.
The council is proposing to reduce the number of specialist schools from 11 to six, integrating special-needs pupils into mainstream education.
Darling effectively replaces Tony Webster, who was made redundant in January following a departmental review.
Part of Darling's role is to contribute towards the council's soon-to-launch monthly newsletter.
It is the former broadcaster's first full-time PR role, having been C4 News editor from 1995 to 2001. He was previously deputy editor of Yorkshire TV's Calendar.

Cooperation with schools
Košice has gradually been becoming an IT mecca with several fast-expanding IT companies now established in the city. Despite the high demand for new programmers, however, the education system in Slovakia is still not producing enough qualified people to fill all the vacant posts. For this reason, Ness KDC is one of the most active supporters of IT education at secondary schools and universities.
Supporting sport
Conditions for youth sport in Slovakia are generally poor these days with many clubs and other organizations struggling with a lack of funds and other support. Employees of Ness KDC regularly organize the so-called Nessko …
Supporting culture
Ness KDC is proud to be the main partner of Musica Iuvenalis, a youth string orchestra which has been in existence for more than fifty years. We help its talented young members perform not only in Slovakia but all over the world …
We Help Those who Need It
Ness KDC has been supporting the Oáza center, a shelter for the homeless in Bernátovce near Košice since 2011. As well as providing material and financial support, Ness staff also help develop the running of the center. During the last two years, we have built new kennels for its integrated dog shelter as well as organized food and utensil collections.
'Ness KDC Košiciam' – Supporting the Non-Profit Sector
In July 2014, Ness KDC launched a programe called Ness KDC Košiciam aimed at supporting the non-profit sector in which company programmers develop webpages and mobile applications for non-profit organizations free of charge. As well as this, we also provide webhosting services together with technical back-up.
City IT partner
Ness KDC has been a long-term supporter of development of the city's information systems. As a proud leader on the software engineering market, we have developed several web and mobile applications for Košice which residents of the city can use.
Ness City Triathlon Košice 2016
On June 25th 2016, the inaugural Ness City Triathlon was held in Košice. Because of the special nature of the triathlon, both competitors and spectators were curious about how we would manage organization of the swimming event as well as of the Gunderson start.

What is a memory location?
It usually doesn't matter what the architecture is because, for a large majority of CPUs in use, addressable locations are in units of bytes.
As @Caramiriel says, the long strip of paper is made out of a series of bytes.
Sometimes you deal with them in larger chunks, say a uint32_t deals with 4 bytes in one go.
When you get to structs or objects, these deal with larger chunks of memory, or multiple chunks of memory so that you don't have to know the details.
However, I think that the C language, and therefore C++, can be ported to a wide variety of architectures where the smallest addressable unit of memory could be larger (or smaller) that one byte.

As a kid, I always knew I was that weird one.
The signs were early on: I hated any clothes that were frilly or form-fitting; I had to be bribed with giant stuffed animals for my mom to get me to wear lipstick in the family Santa photo. I quit ballet class because I couldn't deal with wearing pink tights and a tutu. In kindergarden, the girls wouldn't let me play with them because I was apparently using the toy makeup wrong – so I played blocks and dinosaurs with the boys.
My first best friend was a boy who lived down the street when I was five. While my younger sister played dolls with his older sister, he and I would use an illustrated encyclopedia to pick out dog breeds for each other to be, and then romp around in the basement barking and play-fighting.
In second grade, I tried to change my name in school and get my classmates to call me "Shawn", since I thought it sounded cool and I wanted to have a boy's name. I wrote my newly chosen name on the tag on my desk and instructed everyone to call me Shawn from now on. My classmates thought I was nuts, and for some reason were really concerned about why I didn't spell it "Sean". I thought my spelling looked better and was totally legit, but I just couldn't get people to call me that.
As a kid, I never felt like "tomboy" was an appropriate label for myself, as it was generally used to describe girls who were into sports. Besides, rather than a boyish girl, I felt more like a boy who was forced to wear Easter dresses with puffy sleeves. I wanted to look cool, not pretty. I didn't want to look or act feminine. I would kung-fu kick toward automatic sliding glass doors to create the illusion that I had bashed the doors open. "She should have been born a boy," my mom would sigh, shaking her head.
Faced with a constant barrage of information about how I was supposed to act, think, and feel based on my body, I grew up being taught that something about me was fundamentally wrong. The fact I wanted to wear light-up sneakers instead of glittery flats was wrong. Mussing up my hair and wearing oversized t-shirts to look unruly and boyish was wrong. What do you mean you don't have a brother and that Nintendo 64 is actually yours? WRONG.
* * *
In seventh grade, I had a crush on a boy in gym class. One day, some girls in the class informed me he had told them I was cute, but he also thought my hairy legs were gross. That was the moment I became aware that, as a girl, appearance meant everything and body hair was viewed as unacceptable. That evening I cried while shaving my legs for the first time. I felt so embarrassed and humiliated. Even now that I have decided to stop shaving any part of my body, I still feel somewhat self-conscious about it.
In high school, I was that weird, short, dysthymic multiracial kid who spent all their time making bizarre art or writing short stories with strange humor. I shopped in the guys' section of clothing stores, and would joke to my friends that I should dress up as a girl for Halloween. I set up fake internet profiles and would pretend to be a hot guy to flirt with random girls in chat rooms for fun.
Although I often wished I had been born male, the idea of transitioning never really crossed my mind. My small bubble of a suburb had a reputation for white upper-middle-class snobs, and was completely lacking in any kind of diversity – I had barely even heard of the possibility of being gay, queer, or trans – which made me feel even more alienated as some kind of freakish, broken anomaly of a human being. I tried to "be myself" and pretend not to care, hiding my internal scars caused by other people's hurtful words and judgmental stares.
I went to an art college in San Francisco, which marked the beginning of discovering the diverse world of gender identity and sexual orientation. Still, it would be quite some time before I realized what this all meant for myself. I took to wearing grungy jeans and unisex t-shirts with skateboarding logos or nerdy jokes on them, and I cut my own hair with scissors. I didn't bond well with the other residents in my all-female dorm, and instead spent most of my time hanging out with my group of nerdy art school male friends. We played video games, wandered the streets of San Francisco, worked on homework together, and I felt like I could mostly be myself around them as just "one of the guys".
* * *
After graduating from college, I finally succumbed to the pressure to present more female. It sounded easier than continuing to fight an endless gender battle, and almost seemed mandatory for "becoming an adult"1. Despite my best efforts, however, I was the worst at being a woman – I tried to learn how to put on makeup, and was always horrified with the results. I bought cleavage-enhancing, body-hugging feminine clothing – which I pulled off about as well as a pony wearing a cardigan. I cooed over what I assumed were trendy purses based on my observations of other women, and burnt my hair trying to use a curling iron. I gave an earnest attempt to locate my "motherly instinct" and find the warped facial features of human infants to be cute.
Even though I liked some of the things classified as girly, I still felt like I was lying to myself. I felt bad for pretending to be someone I was not, and I felt bad that I couldn't be what everyone said I was supposed to be.
I didn't want to entirely "become a boy" either, though, if I really thought about it. Even though I would rather have someone mistake me for a guy than a girl, or at least be guessing at first glance, being just a dude and looking completely like a cis man all the time didn't sound appealing or right to me. And I definitely did not have the slightest desire to do anything to my body that would result in me growing a beard.
Exasperated and distressed and heading into my late 20s (and beaten down after more than a decade of also fighting dysthymia, major depression, and anxiety – another story in itself) I remember pouring my heart out to someone about my lifelong gender dysphoria. His only response to me was, "Well, I don't feel that you are a man." After opening myself up to such a vulnerable place, I felt gutted that this "friend" had completely missed the point, and somehow thought his personal perception of my gender was somehow relevant or "helpful" or more important than my own. I felt like there was no one who I could talk to about my struggle with gender identity.
Was I a woman? No. Was I a man? No.
Were those my only two options?
* * *
I finally came across the term "genderqueer" while browsing the internet late one night. I felt a sudden rush of excitement – there was actually a word in the universe to describe me! A gender identity I could resonate with, and was as vague and amorphous as I needed; a possibility beyond the binary options of male or female. Was this real life? Why did I have to suffer decades of internal turmoil before I was able to discover that I was not really "broken" or "wrong" after all?
Genderqueer is broad enough of a term to encompass all the possibilities of a non-binary gender identity. Depending on my mood of the moment, I can be male, or female, or (most typical for me) both at the same time to one degree or another, or even neither at all (maybe something else entirely). Identifying as genderqueer allows me to leisurely float around under the trans umbrella between any of these options, without obligation to eventually settle for one. Basically, it's like the gender equivalent of agnosticism.
I know that being female doesn't mean you must love pink and adhere to all the latest fashion trends, and being male doesn't mean you must love cars and possess the ability to quote the entirety of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Gender is more than appearance, or interests, or body parts… and it might also fluctuate and change over time.
I've finally realized that if you're going to be "wrong" according to the world no matter what you do… you might as well be the person you want to be, and surround yourself with people who support, care about, celebrate and encourage you to be your true self.
* * *
The past few years have been full of cautious exploration and growing more confident with my identity as genderqueer. Adopting gender-neutral pronouns is a newer thing for me; I've now migrated to preferring the non-binary pronouns they/them. I feel more free to experiment with gender expression in ways I would have never tried before. I love my short, cropped hairstyle, and I think my legs look Jiz Lee-style sexy even though I don't shave them. I'm curious about trying binding and packing, and I no longer have to hide the fact I prefer smelling like Old Spice than Herbal Essences. When I dress more feminine, it's because I want to, rather than because I feel like I have to.
My preference for certain gender-based words has slowly changed over time to reflect my transition into identifying outside the gender binary. Although I now use they/them pronouns, I still really like it when my girlfriend calls me her girlfriend. It sounds very sweet to me, and gives me happy feels to think Yay, I am gay! So at least for right now, in certain instances and from certain people, I don't mind being referred to as a "girl". As for other words, however: "lady" is out, I'm not "female", I am not a "ma'am" or a "miss". And I am definitely not a "woman"2, since in my mind, the word conjures up an image of a middle-aged soccer mom who shops at Chico, orders Venti Quad Nonfat 3-Pump No-Foam Mocha Explosions, and complains to her friends about her husband's inability to do any of the housework correctly.
I must admit I currently struggle with a new fear of not appearing "trans enough" for others to accept my non-binary gender. As a person with a vulva who was assigned female at birth, will I lose the right to label myself as genderqueer if I get really excited about miniature plastic unicorns, or if my bed is overflowing with cute stuffed plushies? Am I allowed to remind people to use they/them pronouns for me if I choose to wear neon-pink nail polish and a pushup bra? I'm scared of people accusing me of not being/looking/acting genderqueer enough to adopt the term for myself, or that my experience is wrong and "real" genderqueer people are [insert characteristic] or have gone through [insert experience]. Is there some kind of test I can take that will give me an Official Trans Certification, so I can defensively point to such a document if someone tries to contest my gender identity?
Even though I know that gender expression doesn't define your gender identity, and that other people do not get to dictate your gender, it's terrifying to imagine being rejected by the queer community when you've been rejected from everyone else your entire life.
I shouldn't have to feel stressed about my gender identity anymore, but I still do. When you've been told for decades that you are "wrong" and have begun to believe those words, it's not easy to rise from there and learn to embrace yourself for who you really are.

first silo no i said 12 and supra no i was thankin racerchic
Post Extras:
i didnt get it off the net because i been working with my dad since i was like 9 and i know stuff its not my fault your a stuck up asshole. and by the way he
never answered my question. so maybe itallian asshole ninja can answer them.
Make sure your daddy doesn't see you using that language little girl.
What the hell are you talking about? How am I a stuck up asshole?
First of all I never claimed to know anything about domestic engines. Which is why I post in the import forum. Have you learned logic yet in junior high?
Secondly you spelt ITALIAN wrong and ass hole is two words. Is that the best you could come up with anyhow?
fuck off go make some more spaghetti i got some chicken to fry
dont forget to eat your watermellon and smoke that crack
So anyway, You really need to get some less childish comebacks because honestly I think you're just making yourself look bad. If you know all the Windsor engines and all that shit then why are you posting in the import forum?
And I happen to like spaghetti and I make it a lot, was that supposed to be an insult? I'm surprised you even spelt spaghetti right judging from some of your other posts.
lol i waz just actin retarded and sweet neon i have one thing to say, .....WTF
fuck you go play with your dolls bitch
dude i'm tired of arguing just leave me alone
well get the fuck out of here and go play your video games ya fuck, this isnt a forum for little kiddies who arnt old enough to drive a car let alone afford a car and dont even live any where close to the coachella valley
u dont live in coachella and if u do ur the only one
blow me cock sucker i live in the coachella valley and im not the only one

Travel is fun but constant travel also requires energy. And energy comes from good food, good care and good sleep. So, on the move, I make sure that I eat less and eat right. I like healthy and lightly cooked food rather than heavy snacks or chemical laden beverages. Along with this, I ensure that I take my daily dose of multivitamins. This keeps me on the toes and energised for longer hours.
There are so many multivitamins in the market that sometimes it becomes difficult to decide which one would suit me more. In this research, I came across Truebasics Multivit. There are separate packs for men and women.
This comes in two packs—one with 30 tablets and another with 90. One tablet daily after breakfast works well. The mixture of vitamins and minerals is a daily dose of nourishment for the body. It helps in skin rejuvenation, bone health and stronger functioning. The delivery is good and the packaging is not damaged in the process. So this gives the leverage of ordering in any location.
The main thing is that the site is very transparent about the ingredients and the research. You can see the section on Info. There is also a Refer & Earn section.

The AIP's Physics News Update reports that an important step has been taken in the search for a quantum theory of gravity. A paper published in the October 29 2001 issue of Physical Review Letters shows that Loop Quantum Gravity (a rival of superstring theory, which is more well-known) doesn't contain the nasty infinities which plague attempts to merge quantum physics with general relativity. When people tried quantizing Einstein's general relativity result, they discovered that the resulting equations 'blow up', giving nonsense answers (such as infinity) to questions which should have decidedly finite, sensible answers. This happens because a quantized spacetime looks very fuzzy and fluctuates madly if one looks at it closely, interacting with itself with wild abandon and without regard for the sanity of physicists, causing nasty infinities to pop out when one tries to do anything with it.
The way AIP describes it, in LQG, spacetime is thought to be made up from little movable loops. Another (more current, as I understand) way of looking at the same idea is that spacetime is something called a 'spin foam'. In a spin foam, spacetime is actually a foamy thing, made up of little bubbles of volume [disclaimer - I'm aware that this is really imprecise. For a far more careful discussion of this, please see here - John Baez actually works on this stuff for a living]. What Louis Crane, Alejandro Perez and Carlo Rovelli proved in their paper is that for a particular (and important) kind of calculation using spinfoam models of quantum gravity infinities don't appear, and the math behaves itself. This is a big step forward for LQG, and quantum gravity in general. As Crane et al. put it: "Because of the finiteness proof given here, it is now possible to explore the consequences of these ideas and the physical content of this model by exact calculation." And being able to do physically relevant calculations with a theory is a necessity for extracting predictions, getting something that one can test against Nature - the final judge of right and wrong ideas in science.
I do not know whether there is any analogous result in superstring theory. If anyone out there knows, please let me know, either in the discussion thread or by email. Also, those of you interested in learning a little more about spin foams are encouraged to check out either John Baez's pages on them, or (for a far more amateurish presentation) a thread I've started in the Lounge (it's about spin networks, which are what you get if you take a cross-section of a spin foam).

New Students
Welcome New Wildcats!
We understand you will have many questions as you prepare for Davidson. We're here to help. We've compiled important resources to ensure a smooth transition into your college experience. A warm welcome from your new Wildcat family. We can't wait to see you on campus!
New Student Orientation
The official New Student and Parent & Family Orientations for the 2020-21 school year will begin on Sunday, Aug. 16 at 8:30 a.m. New Student Orientation is required for all new students, and parents and families are invited to attend.
Pre-Orientation Programs
Designed to provide a unique, challenging, and fun transition to life at Davidson, students can select from an assortment of pre-orientation programs that run June–August. These allow students to immerse themselves in the Davidson community prior to the start of the academic year. Pre-orientation programs happen before the mandatory New Student Orientation.
Academics & Initial Course Registration
Davidson students have until the end of their sophomore year to declare a major. Before a major is declared, students should explore the subjects and courses that interest them, while also fulfilling graduation requirements.
Throughout the month of June, Summer Advisers are available to help new first-year students through the phases of course registration and provide course selection advice. Course preferences should be submitted via WebTree by June 30.
First-year students will meet their holistic academic adviser during Orientation, at which time course schedule adjustments can be made.
If applicable, students should familiarize themselves with the foreign language requirement, the introductory chemistry diagnostic exam, and if their AP, IB or joint-enrollment courses may qualify for pre-college credit. Applicable placement tests must be completed by June 19.
Health & Counseling
Davidson's Center for Student Health and Well-Being is dedicated to the physical, emotional and mental well being of every student.
The medical history and physical exam form must be completed and submitted by all incoming Davidson students by June 30.
Each student must have medical insurance, either through a private insurance company plan or the insurance package offered through the college's Academic Health Plan. The deadline to opt out of College Health Insurance Plan is July 25.
Student Athletes
Students who intend to participate on a Davidson Varsity Athletic Team need to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center. This NCAA-driven process must be completed before a student-athlete reports to campus.
New student athletes must complete sports medical forms, independent of the college's Health Center medical forms. June 1 is the deadline for football and basketball athletes to submit medical forms; July 1 is the deadline for all other athletes.
In mid-July each known Davidson student-athlete will receive an email containing links and instructions for completing all necessary NCAA and Davidson compliance forms.

- 1 Advantages and disadvantages of Condoms
- 1.1 Benefits of Condoms
- 1.2 Drawbacks of Condoms
If we talk about birth control, using condoms is the most common method which comes to our minds. There are various advantages and disadvantages of condoms that are going to be discussed in this article. After reading this article, it is totally up to you whether you use the condom or any other contraceptive method. A male condom is made of thin rubber called latex which may vary in size, color, and quantity of lubrication. Effective use of a condom can be beneficial for desirous results, however, the wrong use of a condom can pose a serious threat to your sexual life.
Advantages and disadvantages of Condoms
It is easy for me to aware you about the several advantages of condoms.
Benefits of Condoms
Prevent Pregnancy
The first advantage of using a condom is that it helps to prevent pregnancy. According to a study, 95-98% results of using condoms are excellent and prevent pregnancy. Nevertheless, in certain cases, condoms are unable to stop pregnancy.
Protection from STIs
The most important benefit of using condoms is that it protects against STIs. STIs stands for Sexually Transmitted Infections. The risk of sexual infection is very high during intercourse. Sexually transmitted infections might be like HIV AIDS and various other skin infections.
Cost Effective
If you compare condoms with other contraceptive methods then you will discover that condoms are really a cost-effective method. Other methods like IUD are more costly than condoms.
Easy to Use
Besides above-mentioned benefits of this contraception, it is very easy to use. An illiterate person can also use it easily. If we observe other methods, we come to know that to take advantage of all other methods we will have to go to a gynecologist. On the contrary, no need for any gynecologist.
Easily Available
No one can deny this factor of condoms. There is a dire need of contraception methods in the backward areas of third world countries and all the methods are rarely available in remote areas of third world countries like Somalia. However, Condom is the only procedure which is available in these type of areas.
Drawbacks of Condoms
It admits of no doubt that condom is the most common procedure for birth control but it has certain flaws if the use of a condom is not correct. Therefore, it must be used in a pertinent way because it can avoid pregnancy. Otherwise, you will have to face the results in contrast. You can discover these flaws in the following discussion;
Condoms are delicate
In this contraceptive procedure, there is a risk that condoms tear with nails or jewelry. In this situation, a condom cannot guarantee protection.
Various Sizes
Several sizes of the condom are itself a problem. Owing to several sizes, it could not get fit on the penis and it may slip. In this case, birth control becomes impossible
Ejaculation with Condom
Ejaculation with a condom can create another problem. It is very difficult to withdraw the penis after ejaculation with a condom due to the flaccid nature of the penis. Therefore, it creates more trouble.
Consent of Both
Using a condom with the consensus of both is very difficult. Owing to the use of a condom, enjoyment of intercourse may diminish and due to this reason one partner may deny to use the condom. That is why, it can create a hurdle in the way of consensus of both.
Wrong Use
Besides the above mentioned problems, the wrong use of it cannot stop the pregnancy. According to a report, almost 3 women become pregnant out of 100 due to the wrong use of a condom. Hence, use a condom in the wrong way can create troublesome.
Allergic to Latex
Some of the users have allergic to latex used in condoms. After using it, users may face skin problems like rashes. However, this issue has been solved and latex-free condoms have been introduced in the market.
Illegal Sex practices
Easy availability of condoms enhance the illegal practices of sexual activities. The graph of sexual intercourses among students in different universities skyrocketed due to the easy availability of condoms. However, it cannot be enlisted in the disadvantages of condoms because it is a factor related to morality.
Tip of the day
If we analyze the above talks, we come across with the results that advantages of condom are more than disadvantages. Moreover, the disadvantages of a condom can be covered by using it properly. If you use it correctly by keeping the size and other factor in your mind, you can get your desired goal and prevent pregnancy without any making any major effort.

Home flooding, whether it occurs from a natural disaster or a burst pipe, can be an almighty inconvenience. One of the first things that you will have to repair is the baseboards. Baseboards will get swollen and warped if they absorbs water. This article will explain how to remove severely damaged baseboard and how to install a new product.
How to Remove the Old Baseboard
The messiest and most tiring part of the job is removing the old baseboard. If the baseboard is especially waterlogged, it will be easier to remove the molding. But, the baseboard might break near the nails, making it hard to remove. If the baseboard is still firmly attached to the wall, you will need to cut away the caulk along the top edge, where it meets the wall. The best tools for removing a baseboard is a flathead screwdriver and hammer. Hammer the flathead underneath the molding and pry outward.
Installing the New Baseboard
The key to installing the new baseboard is having the right tools. You will need an air compressor, nail gun, miter saw and caulk. It is easiest to cut the molding for the corners if you have a compound miter saw (meaning the blade can be tilted). You will want to cut the baseboard at 45 degree angles so the pieces meet perfectly at the corners.
Nailing the Baseboard to the Wall
Most baseboards are less than 1" thick, so you will need 2"-3" long nails. Special finish nails are best for installing baseboards because they have small heads so they do not leave behind a large nail hole. Shoot the nail through the thickest part of the baseboard so the nail does not shoot completely through it. After the baseboard is attached to the wall you will need to fill the small nails holes and apply the caulk. In fact, you can easily fill the nail holes with the same caulk. Simply spread it into the holes using your fingers. Applying the caulk to the top edge of the baseboard is important because it protects the molding and gives it a strong visual line.
Changing the baseboard is one of the first changes you need to make after serious water damage. When changing your baseboard you can update the style to give your home a more modern look. Choose a taller baseboard that will cover the old caulk line from your previous baseboard. For more information, contact a professional like Complete Restoration Services.Share
