What's the greatest sandwich you've ever had? Is it ham? Beef? Cheese? A combination of other things all put together into one pile of nonsense? It could be, I don't know. Maybe your favourite sandwich involves hammers and beans. That would make you a bit squiffy, truth be told, but at least if you admitted to it there wouldn't be much weirder you could go.
But maybe your favourite idea of a sandwich is one with pastrami, mustard, cheese and something else you love. Maybe it's a case of the best things that could possibly go in a sandwich combined with the best things you never thought could go in a sandwich (but could). Maybe it's just that damn good.
Basically I want you to picture, or taste that 'wich. I want you to imagine you're feeling its flavour all over your mindtank. Then I want you to think of bread and butter.
Bread and butter is clearly the best thing ever made, even if you have olive spread instead of butter like some loser might (hello!). It tastes of very little, it's of no nutritional value beyond being bread and making you eat it and… well, it doesn't do much for the street cred of "the kids". So there's clearly no viable point in bread and butter.

Sometimes I sit in a cold room. And I let myself be cold. I do that, so I can feel it. I can feel alive.
For it is easy for me to turn off my emotions at times. It is a learned behavior–and probably a control issue. If I turn off my emotions, then perhaps this time, I won't get hurt by others.
In a way this sheltering-my-emotions behavior stems from my childhood and young adult years. For if I happened to say what I was thinking, I often got called out on it, mocked or laughed at. Then if I cried or got upset, I often heard this, "You take things too seriously. Lighten up." Sometimes today, as an adult, my family does the same thing in response to something I say or do…and I remember that feeling I had as a child. But now? Now it doesn't sting, as much. I just take it in stride and be who I am, even if silly is part of the description. But I have learned that I also will hold my emotions close to my heart…and not let them out–most of the time.
So sometimes, like today, I take time to feel cold. In a bit I will turn on the fireplace, and I will then feel warm.
I will pray…and I will share with the Lord all the emotions that are stirring.
And I will specifically pray this, "Lord, help me to let my heart get broken for the things that break your heart." I will. And I DO!
Yesterday, I met with some friends to pray over another friend in turmoil. And I felt that defensive gate trying to go up. I battled it in my mind. I asked the Lord to help me FEEL her pain and to somehow lift her deep, deep burden. And the gate remained tightly locked up…UNTIL I began to pray aloud. Then I began to cry with her.
There's something about prayer that makes my defenses go down. I know God knows and sees my heart and emotions. I know that He gets me…that He knows my fear of rejection and mockery, so that I often hide my heart and hold close those thoughts inside. He knows! So I don't put up my defenses with Him. It is a true relationship–with my Lord.
He is still shaping me and molding me. I would love to say that I have overcome this lack of feeling at times. But I haven't. It is still there. But maybe it is there less and less. Maybe I am becoming BRAVER. Maybe those words on the tape recorder in my mind, words of criticism and unkindness, will slowly become thin and no longer be able to play.
One thing I know this day is this: God's word on my heart changes me. So this year, I am praying to feel more…not to be an emoting mess, no. But to feel compassion and show compassion. To feel joy and show joy. To let the real me be seen…and to live out God's great purposes for my life. And I am memorizing verses that speak to this….rewriting the old words with God's word. Thank you, Beth Moore, for that concept. It has been changing me for over 13 years now.
Do you struggle with this, too? Let me know in the comments and I will pray for you!

republic: while Rome was still adored as the queen of the earth; and the subject nations still reverenced the name of the people and the majesty of the senate. But this native splendor," continues Ammianus, "is degraded, and sullied, by the conduct of some nobles, who, unmindful of their own dignity, and of that of their country, assume an unbounded license of vice and folly. They contend with each other in the empty vanity of titles and surnames; and curiously select, or invent, the most lofty and sonorous appellations, Reburrus, or Fabunius, Pagonius, or Tarasius," which may impress the ears of the vulgar with astonishment and respect. From a vain ambition of perpetuating their memory, they affect to multiply their likeness in statues of bronze and marble; nor are they satisfied, unless those statues are covered with plates of gold; an honorable distinction, first granted to Acilius the consul, after he had subdued, by his arms and counsels, the power of King Antiochus. The ostentation of displaying, of magnifying, perhaps, the rent-roll of the estates which they possess in all the provinces, from the rising to the setting sun, provokes the just resentment of every man, who recollects, that their poor and invincible ancestors were not distinguished from the meanest of the soldiers, by the delicacy of their food, or the splendor of their apparel. But the modern nobles measure their rank and consequence according to the loftiness of their chariots," and the weighty magnificence of their dress. Their long robes of silk and purple float in the wind; and as they are agitated by art or accident, they occasionally discover the under-garments, the rich tunics, embroidered with the figures of various animals." Followed by a train of fifty servants, and tearing up the pavement, they move along the streets with the same impetuous speed as if they travelled with post-horses; and the example of the senators is boldly imitated by the matrons and ladies, whose covered carriages are continually driving round the immense space of the city and suburbs. Whenever these |...". of high distinction condescend to visit the public aths, they assume, on their entrance, a tone of loud and insolent command, and appropriate to their own use the conveniences which were designed for the Roman people. If, in these places of mixed and general resort, they meet any of the infamous ministers of their pleasures, they express their affection by a tender embrace; while they proudly decline the salutation of their fellow-citizens, who are not permitted to aspire above the honor of kissing their hands, or their knees. As soon as they have indulged themselves in the refreshment of the bath, they resume their rings, and the other ensigns of their dignity; select from their private wardrobe of the finest linen, such as might suffice for a dozen persons, the garments the most agreeable to their fancy, and maintain till their departure the same haughty demeanor; which perhaps might have been excused in the great Marcellus, after the conquest of Syracuse. Sometimes, indeed, these heroes undertake more arduous achievements; they visit their estates in Italy, and procure themselves, by the toil of servile hands, the amusements of the chase." If at any time, but more especially on a hot day, they have courage to sail, in their painted galleys, from the Lucrine Lake" to their elegant villas on the sea-coast of Puteoli and Cayeta," they compare their own expeditions to the marches of Caesar and Alexander. Yet should a fly Ammian. xiv. 6) that this was a new fashion; that bears, wolves, lions, and tigers, woods, hunting-matches, &c., were represented in embroidery ; and that the more pious coxcombs substituted the figure or legend of some favorite Saint. 30 See Pliny's Epistles, i. 6. Three large wild boars were allured and taken in the toils without interrupting the studies of the philosophic sportsman. 40 The change from the inauspicious word Avermus, which stands in the text, is immaterial. The two lakes, Avernus and Lucrinus, communicated with each other, and were fashioned by the stupendous moles of Agrippa into the Julian port, which opened, through a narrow entrance, into the Gulf of Puteoli. Virgil, who resided on the spot, has described (Georgic ii. 16) this work at the moment of its execution : and his commentators, especially Catrou, have derived much light from Strabo. Suetonius, and Dion. Earthquakes and volcanoes have changed the face of the country, and turned the Lucrine Lake, since the year 1538, into the Monte Nuovo. See Camillo Pellegrino Discorsi della Campania Felice, p. 239,244, &c. Antonii Sanfelicii Campania, p. 13, 88.*
* The minute diligence of antiquarians has not been able to verify these extoo, names. T am of opinion that they were invented by the historian himself, who was afraid of any personal satire or application. It is certain, howeyer, that the simple denominations of the Romans were gradually lengthened to the number of four, five, or even seven, pompous surnames; as, for instance, Marcus Maecius Maemmius Furius Balburius Caecilianus Placidus. See Noris Cenotaph. Pisan. Dissert. c. iv. p. 438.
* The carrucae, or coaches of the Romans, were often of solid silver, curiously carved and engraved; and the trappings of the mules, or horses, were embossed with gold. This magnificence continued from the reign of Nero to that of Homorius; and the Appian way was covered with the splendid equipages of the nobles, who came out to meet St. Melania, when she returned to Rome, six years before the Gothic siege (Seneca, epist. Ixxxvii. Plin. Hist. Natur. xxxiii. 49. I'aulin. Nolan. apud Baron. Annal. Eccles. A. D. 397. No 5). Yet pomp is well exchanged for convenience; and a plain modern coach, that is hung upon springs, is much preferable to the silver or gold carts of antiquity, which rolled on * axle-tree, and were exposed, for the most part, to the inclemency of the Weather.
*In a homily of Asterius, bishop of Amasia, M. de Valois has discovered (ad *The regna Cumana et Puteolana; loca caetiroqui valde expetenda, interpellantium auten, multitudine paene fugienda. Cicero ad Attic Xvi. 17.
presume to settle on the silken folds of their gilded um, brellas; should a sunbeam penetrate through some unguarded and imperceptible chink, they deplore their intolerable hardships, and lament, in affected language, that they were not born in the land of the Cimmerians," the regions of eternal darkness. In these journeys into the country," the whole body of the household marches with their master. In the same manner as the cavalry and infantry, the heavy and the light armed troops, the advanced guard and the rear, are marshalled by the skill of their military leaders; so the domestic officers, who bear a rod, as an ensign of authority, distribute and arrange the numerous train of slaves and attendants. The baggage and wardrobe move in the front; and are immediately followed by a multitude of cooks, and inferior ministers, employed in the service of the kitchens, and of the table. The main body is composed of a promiscuous crowd of slaves, increased by the accidental concourse of idle or dependent plebeians. The rear is closed by the favorite band of eunuchs, distributed from age to youth, according to the order of seniority. Their numbers and their deformity excite the horror of the indignant spectators, who are ready to execrate the memory of Semiramis, for the cruel art which she invented, of frustrating the purposes of nature, and of blasting in the bud the hopes of future generations. In the exercise of domestic jurisdiction, the nobles of Rome express an exquisite sensibility for any personal injury, and a contemptuous indifference for the rest of the human species. When they have called for warm water, if a slave has been tardy in his obedience, he is instantly chastised with three hundred lashes: but should the same slave commit a wilful murder, the master will mildly observe that he is a worthless fellow ; but that if he repeats the offence, he shall not escape punishment. Hospitality was formerly the virtue of the Romans; and every stranger who could plead either merit or misfortune, was relieved, or 42 The proverbial expression of Cimmerian darkness was originally borrowed from the description of Homer (in the eleventh book of the Odyssey), which he applies to a remote and fabulous country on the shores of the ocean. See Erasmi Adagia, in his works, tom. ii. p. 593, the Leyden edition. 43 We may learn from Seneca (epist. c. xxiii.) three curious circumstances relative to the journeys of the Romans. 1. They were preceded by a troop of Numidian light horse, who announced, by a cloud of dust, the approach of a great man. 2. Their baggage mules transported not only the precious vases, but even the fragile vessels of crystal and murra, which last is almost proved, by the learned French translator of Seneca (tom. iii. pp. 402–422), to mean the porcelain of China and Japan. 3. The beautiful faces of the young slaves were covered
with a medicated crust, or ointment, which secured them against the effects of the sun and frost.
rewarded, by their generosity. At present, if a foreigner, perhaps of no contemptible rank, is introduced to one of the proud and wealthy senators, he is welcomed indeed in the first audience, with such warm professions, and such kind inquiries, that he retires, enchanted with the affability of his illustrious friend, and full of regret that he had so long delayed his journey to Rome, the native seat of manners, as well as of empire. Secure of a favorable reception, he repeats his visit the ensuing day, and is mortified by the discovery, that his person, his name, and his country, are already forgotten. If he still has resolution to persevere, he is gradually numbered in the train of dependents, and obtains the permission to pay his assiduous and unprofitable court to a haughty patron, incapable of gratitude or friendship; who scarcely deigns to remark his presence, his departure, or his return. Whenever the rich prepare a solemn and popular entertainment; "whenever they celebrate, with profuse and pernicious luxury, their private banquets; the choice of the guests is the subject of anxious deliberation. The modest, the sober, and the learned, are seldom preferred; and the nomenclator's, who are commonly swayed by interested motives, have the address to insert, in the list of invitations, the obscure names of the most worthless of mankind. But the frequent and familiar companions of the great, are those parasites, who practice the most useful of all arts, the art of flattery; who eagerly applaud each word, and every action, of their immortal patron; gaze with rapture on his marble columns and variegated pavements; and strenuously praise the pomp and elegance which he is taught to consider as a part of his personal merit. At the Roman tables, the birds, the squirrels," or the fish, which appear of
* Distributio solemnium sportularum. The sportulae, or sportellae, were small baskets, supposed to contain a quantity of hot provisions, of the value of 100 quadrantes, or twelvepence halfpenny, which were ranged in order in the hall, and o distributed to the hungry or servile crowd who waited at the door. This indelicate custom is very frequently mentioned in the epigrams of Martial, and the satires of Juvenal. See likewise Suetonius, in Claud. c. 21, in Neron. c. 16, in Domitian, c. 4, 7. These baskets of provisions were afterwards converted into large pieces of gold and silver coin, or plate, which were mutually given and accepted even by persons of the highest rank (see Symmach. epist. iv. & ix. 124, and Miscell. p. 256), on solemn occasions, of consulships, marriages,
* The want of an English name obliges me to refer to the common genus of squirrels,", the Latin glis, the French toir; a little animal, who inhabits the Woods, and remains torpid in cold weather (see Plin.

an uncommon size, are contemplated with curious attention; a pair of scales is accurately applied, to ascertain their real weight; and, while the more rational guests are disgusted by the vain and tedious repetition, notaries are summoned to attest, by an authentic record, the truth of such a marvellous event. Another method of introduction into the houses and society of the great, is derived from the profession of gaming, or, as it is more politely styled, of play. The confederates are united by a strict and indissoluble bond of friendship, or rather of conspiracy; a superior degree of skill in the Tesserarian art (which may be interpreted the game of dice and tables)" is a sure road to wealth and reputation. A master of that sublime science, who in a supper, or assembly, is placed below a magistrate, displays in his countenance the surprise and indignation which Cato might be supposed to feel, when he was refused the praetorship by the votes of a capricious people. The acquisition of knowledge seldom engages the curiosity of nobles, who abhor the fatigue, and disdain the advantages, of study; and the only books which they peruse are the Satires of Juvenal, and the verbose and fabulous histories of Marius Maximus." The libraries, which they have inherited from their fathers, are secluded, like dreary sepulchres, from the light of day." But the costly instruments of the theatre, flutes, and enormous lyres, and hydraulic organs, are constructed for their use; and the harmony of vocal and instrumental music is incessantly repeated in the palaces of Rome. In those palaces, sound is preferred to
villas as a|. article of rural economy (Varro, de Re Rustică, iii. 15.) The excessive demand of them for luxurious tables was increased by the foolish prohibitions of the censors; and it is reported that they are still csteemed in modern Rome, and are frequently sent as presents by the Colonna princes (see IBrotier, the last editor of Pliny, tom. ii. p. 458, apud Barbou, 1779.)
43 This game, which might be translated by the more familiar names of tricktrac, or backgammon, was a favorite amusement of the gravest, Romans; and old Mucius Scaevola, the lawyer, had the reputation of a very skilful player. It was called ludus duodecim scriptorum, from the twelve scripta, or lines, which equally divided the alveolus or table. On these, the two armies, the white and the black, each consisting of fifteen men, or calculi, were regularly placed, and alternately moved according to the laws of the game, and the chances of the tesserae, or dice. Dr. Hyde, who diligently traces the history and varieties of the nerdi'udiam (a name of Persic etymology) from Ireland to Japan, pours forth, on this trifling subject, a copious torrent of classic and Oriental learning. See Syntagma Dissertat. tom. ii. pp. 217-405.
47 Marius Maximus, homo omnium verbosissimus, qui, et mythistoricis se voluminibus implicavit. Vopiscus in Hict, August. p. 242. Ise wrote the lives of the emperors, from Trajān to Alexander Severus. See Gerard Vossius de Historicis Latin.T. ii. c. 3, in liis works, vol. iv. p. 47.
48 This satire is probably exaggerated. The Saturnality of Macrobius, and the epistles of Jerom, assord satisfactory proofs that Christian theology and classic literature were studiously cultivated by several IRomans, of both sexes, and of the lighest rank.

My grandma shared these 10 ways to be a caring wife (and a caring husband!) from when she was married in the 1940s until the end of their lives. These lessons are so important when trying to grow your marriage after kids. This is advice from my grandmother. She was an amazing person and a wonderful, devoted wife (and mother/grandmother).
Before I begin… remember that this was 50+ years ago and she did not work. The lesson in this post is simply that caring for others is important in a marriage. Not 'competing' but instead 'wanting' to help.
My grandfather, Guy Abbott, worked 10+ hour days out of the home while my grandma, Rosemary Abbott, worked by taking care of the kids and house. Both worked hard and both relied on each other to be able to do what they did. They met as young teenagers and loved each other from the beginning… this is how they showed it, by helping one another.
He couldn't have worked outside of the home if she wasn't at home taking care of the house, kids and the rest. She couldn't be home taking care of everything if he wasn't working hard to provide for them. They truly needed one another.
She loved my grandfather and this is how she showed him. He loved her and showed her in his own ways, as well (like cooking dinners for her, going on MANY trips with her because she loved to travel and even though he didn't like it, he went to make her happy, etc…) It takes two to make a marriage strong. It is a give and take on both sides.
Here is my grandmother's advice on the 10 ways to be a caring wife:
1- Have dinner together.
My grandma would have dinner ready (even with four young kids) when he came home from his long 10 hour days. It would be on the table when he came home from work. It was her way of showing him that she appreciated him working all day so she could be home with their children.
She said that if he didn't work, she couldn't stay home… and he said that if she didn't stay home and do things like this, he couldn't work so much for them. It was a give & take relationship.
He used to make dinner for her, as well. Once he retired, he actually preferred to cook. 🙂
2- Let him be HIM.
She never tried to change him. She was so much better than me about this. I am constantly thinking of things that Mickey and I can do better… "Mic, you shouldn't eat that. Mic, can you please not leave your shoes there? Mic, it drives me CRAZY when you leave your shirt hung over the closet door…" She never did this. She just loved him for HIM- she embraced his quirks and loved him in spite of them.
He was the same with my grandmother. She was a TALKER and talked to everyone and anyone. He was the complete opposite! He never tried to change her. He loved her for who she was. He would just wait on her while she started up a conversation with a complete stranger.
3- She took care of him when he was dying.
My grandma did so much for him. She read books on diabetes diets so she could make the right foods for him. She reminded him to drink water throughout the day. She would test his blood sugar for him since he never wanted to do it. When he had cancer, before he passed away, she spent her days and nights just waiting on him, sitting with him, feeding him, talking to him… it actually diminished her own health because of it, but we couldn't talk her out of it, as she loved him so much.
4- My grandfather had diabetes and had to go to Charleston every six months for his checkup.
They lived in Hilton Head, so this was a far drive for her. She didn't like to drive AT ALL. Once my grandfather became very sick, she had to start driving. She would even take his wheelchair, put it into the car and take it out of the car by herself because he was too embarrassed to ask for help (or let her ask for help).
He knew how much work this was for her and he appreciated it. He once told her that he didn't want anyone with him but her while he was sick- not hospice, not a nurse, just "my wife". He didn't want to face a doctor without her or drive that three-hour drive without her by his side.
5- She exercised (to make herself a priority so she could feel her best)
By taking care of herself, she could take care of her family. Even well into her 70's she went to the gym (which was a huge resort with spa, yoga, swimming, etc…) several times a day. She would take Yoga in the morning, then go back for tennis in the afternoons and stay around for a pilates class or a swim. She was always active and had so many of her friends at the gym (a huge group of 70+-year-old women would gather there throughout the day). She never drove a car, because she biked everywhere (until she had to take those Charleston trips). She was the reason that he walked every day with her (on the beach). She knew it and so did he.
6- They moved to be together, but really just to support one another.
They left their children and new grand-babies because my grandpa has lost his job 30 years ago. He found a job in Hilton Head, 12 hours from home. She left all that she knew and everyone that she loved to go with him… to support him and his career. While it was hard on her at first, she leaned on him and he leaned on her. It was the best thing for our family. It introduced us to a place that we know and love so much. Although they are gone, we spend our family vacations there, still (our WHOLE family – my grandma & grandpap had 4 kids…)
Taking chances with your spouse is hard, but it pays off! We go there several times a year.
7- When he was sick, she cut his toenails and he brushed her hair. (read on to understand why…)
When I first saw this, I didn't get it. The whole toenail thing kind of grossed me out, if I am to be completely honest. I'm not sure Mickey would want to see the look on my face if he asked me to do this. So, yes, I told her that I thought it was strange. She explained to me that his feet were so sore because of his diabetes and it really hurt him to have to do things like this. His hands weren't steady and if he shook and cut his skin, it would mean a stay in the hospital. Scary for both of them, really. This was a way that she could serve him and show him that she loved him. It was truly an act of service and putting his needs before her own needs.
8- She kept in touch with his family.
While my grandfather worked many late days, my grandmother would call his mother for him and keep her up to date with the latest family happenings. When they were going to take the children to see her, my grandma would call and make the plans. (This was really an act of love because my great-grandmother was a very strong-willed woman). Again, my grandma did it for her family. She knew that it was important.
9- She invested time.
She was so healthy and active and loved to be out doing things, but she would purposefully sit and watch sports, that she had no interest in, with my grandfather, just because she loved him. She would sit and talk to him, even when he didn't talk back (he was a man of few words). She would watch Jeopardy with him every night, at 7:00.
Likewise, he would sit and play cards with her because she loved it. (She could play cards for hours on end, and he would humor her by doing it with her, even though he would have rather be watching a baseball game). They knew that doing things that made the other person happy was an important part of a strong marriage.
10- They didn't show their love for each other in front of everyone, but you could see if you looked. During one of our visits to Hilton Head, when I walked by their bedroom at night, I heard them talking. I heard him telling her funny things and she just laughed like she would have laughed when they were dating. He told her nice things and made little jokes and she giggled like she would have done when he first complimented her. He loved her and even though he didn't show the world just how much he loved her, I saw it… and she saw it.
They always followed these marriage rules (click here to print the full sheet):

Glue and Chalk Creations
Pink and Green Mama. They used glue to make their spider on black paper, then when it dried they colored with chalk and the spider stayed black. I loved it! I tried it with my class a few weeks ago. I wrote their names with glue on black construction paper. The next day the kids colored over it with chalk.

On Monday, I noted that Matthew's account of Jesus' baptism is probably my favorite of the four Gospels, and that is true, but as the week has worn on, I've come to realize more and more just how little I actually like preaching the Baptism of our Lord. Don't get me wrong, it is a powerful inaugural moment in the ministry of Jesus, but the discomfort of the early Church has spilled across the millennia and is pooling upon my desk. My problem is this, as a preacher, I see my main task as finding ways to apply Scripture as a living, breathing text to the lives of the faithful. If my sermon is nothing more than a doctrinal statement on the nature of the Incarnation or Resurrection of, as the case may be, Christ's baptism, then I have failed to adequately do my job, and the fact of the matter is that Jesus' baptism is so peculiar, a never-to-be repeated event, that it is hard for me to tie it into the larger story of the life of faith.
What it does offer, however, is an entree into the Epiphanies that come through baptism. For Jesus, it came in the form of the heavens being torn in two and the Spirit descending like a dove, but very few of us have had that experience. Even if we did, how many Roman Catholics or [former] Mainliners remember their baptism at all? For Jesus, his baptism was his commissioning as the beloved Son – so what does it mean for us?
I think that's where the Acts lesson comes to play. Peter's encounter with Cornelius and his family is a prime example of the Spirit at work in the life of a faithful Christian, and, as the Church has taught since the beginning, the Spirit is the gift of Baptism. What does our baptism mean? It means that we are full members of the family of God, gifted with the Holy Spirit, and invited to follow the Spirit en route to the Kingdom of God. It means that as we mature, our opinions will change, our eyes will be opened, our hearts will be filled. It means that we'll trip and fall over our traditions as the Spirit leads us beyond man made classifications into the fullness of God.
In sort, our baptism means that our work has begun. Which, I suppose isn't all that unlike Jesus' baptism after all.

Egg-eating Snakes by Andrew Durso
This blog post comes from Andrew Durso – author of the blog " Life is short, but snakes are long". You can follow Andrew and his blogs here: http://snakesarelong.blogspot.com/

Because of the resilience and self-contained nature of amniotic eggs, many organisms that lay them have done away with parental care. Choosing a nest site, usually under a rock, log, or pile of poop, or in a nest dug underground, is the extent of it. Beyond that, a female snake or turtle will most likely never see her kids hatch, let alone grow up, graduate, or become successful. This also means that their eggs are basically undefended from predators, except for being concealed and not smelling very much. Birds are slightly better parents, but they risk giving away the location of their nest to predators by flying back and forth to it many times a day. Experiments conducted by herpetologist Steve Mullin and ornithologist Bob Cooper have shown that gray ratsnakes locate bird nests over twice as quickly when parents are attending than when they aren't, a phenomenon so prevalent that it has its own name (Skutch's hypothesis) and is thought to influence the evolution of optimal clutch size in birds (because more offspring need to be fed more often, necessitating more trips to and from the nest and increasing the likelihood of detection by a predator).
Ok, enough – let's get to the pictures of snakes eating eggs!
|African Egg-eating Snake, Dasypeltis scabra
Holy shit, how do they do that!? That snake is going to choke itself! Got to be a faked, Photoshopped image, right? Think again:
Damn, that's impressive. If you watched the video above, you saw an African Egg-eating Snake, perhaps the most specialized oophagous snake there is, swallow a bird egg whole, crack it open, and regurgitate the shell. How does it do it? The highly kinetic, flexible skull of this snake allows it to maneuver its jaws around an egg many times bigger than its head, despite the smooth, round surface and the snake's lack of hands. It'd be like a human trying to eat a whole watermelon. Egg-eating snakes lack teeth almost entirely, not needing them for gripping their prey. In addition, the snake's skin is stretchy enough to accommodate the egg's passage – the scale rows are clearly visible, widely separated by the skin in between. Most of the time, this skin can't be seen, because the skin is relaxed so that the rows of scales are in contact with one another.
Once the egg is in the snake's esophagus, how does it get cracked open? Snakes have strong digestive juices, but waiting for them to dissolve the shell of an egg would take too long. OK, are you ready? This is the coolest part:
|Vertebral hypapophyses of
African egg-eating snakes, Dasypeltis
See those spines? Those are called hypapophyses, which is a fancy term for things that stick off the bottom (ventral side) of vertebrae. You've got them too – but in egg-eating snakes, they're modified to be much larger and sharper, the better to pierce eggshells with, my dear. At least, the ones on vertebrae 17-38 are, the vertebrae that sit right above the esophagus and thus above egg once it has been swallowed. The esophagus itself is modified as well – it has loose folds, like pockets, into which each of the hypapophyses fits, so that they don't puncture the esophagus itself. See how it works in the following video, from the BBC's Life in Cold Blood:
Starting at 2:45, you can see the moving x-ray of the egg-eating snake swallowing the egg. Continuing through the end of the video, the snake cracks the shell, allows the yolk inside to drain into its stomach, and regurgitates the eggshell. Most amazing, young Dasypeltis don't appear to have these hypapophyses – they grow as the snakes get older, which raises questions about what the juveniles eat. Even though eggs are nutritious, Dasypeltis must feed relatively often for a snake – one that my advisor kept in captivity ate several quail eggs a week.
|Lateral view of the skull of Dasypeltis, from Gans 1952
The adaptations of the nine species of Dasypeltis allow them to eat eggs that are very large relative to their body size, and as far as we know they eat almost nothing else. Several generalist snakes also eat eggs; adult Eastern Kingsnakes (Lampropeltis getula), Western Hog-nosed Snakes (Heterodon nasicus), and Formosa Kukrisnakes (Oligodon formosanus) frequently consume reptile eggs, and many members of the rat snake genera Pantherophis and Elaphe opportunistically feed on both eggs and nestling birds. These snakes, however, have no special morphological or behavioral adaptations to assist them in the consumption of eggs. One species, the Japanese rat snake (Elaphe climacophora), can ingest relatively large eggs, and has several vertebral hypapophyses. However, E. climacophora ingests the entire egg, including the shell. Only Dasypeltis, and possibly a poorly-known species from India called Elachistodon westermanni, specialize in ingesting large eggs, then crushing the shell and retaining solely the contents.

The Scope of the Opportunity
The first ever research quantifying the top current, commercial, scalable Global Warming solutions (Project Drawdown - 2017) quantified global savings of $74 trillion in costs avoided during the 30 year shift to:
an economy that consumes greenhouse gases and restores ecosystems.
Separate research into the UN Sustainable Development Goals estimates $12 trillion in private sector opportunity by 2030.
If you've been assuming that "the environment" is something for government to take care of, then you're probably missing out. Whether you repair refrigerators or sell flowers, it's worth asking "Where are MY opportunities?"
Ask us a Question:
The Business of Innovation Delivery
It didn't take "government action" to deliver the Internet, smartphones and the information economy. Going back further, government didn't deliver the automobile economy or the first railways.
It's business that will accelerate the existing, developing shift to a clean, renewable economy - an economy that consumes greenhouse gases, regenerates ecosystems and renews communities.
So instead of waiting for someone else to turn good ideas into good business, now is the time to explore for your local opportunities and solutions.
Are you an entrepreneurial thinker and interested in accelerating the shift to a cleaner, fairer economy? Would you get a high from regenerating local ecosystems and communities along the way? The Deep Green Profit Handbook will help you understand the key business strategies and practices.

Yeah, and why can't we have a teleport and a spear?That damn F4 and F44 needs some work...I wouldn't have an issue with it either being neutral or slightly plus on block since it doesn't combo. As you stated, it seems that F4's main purpose is to be cancelled into either an EX-fireball or Caged Rage, both of which can be ducked.
The way I see it, if Scorpion's F3 can be a 13-frame staggerable mid that kombos, why can't JC's F4 - and his F3 for that matter - be equally scary?
It's because we aren't Scorpion. -6 is staggerable. All the scariest staggers in the game are -7 including Liu Kang's and Jade's. And technically our f4 does combo with nutpunch amp. It just isn't hitconfirmable. F44 is fine. It's just there to keep people from ducking. F3 is god tier.
Not to be rude, but we have got to move on from these points. We've been on them for 15+ pages.

Holy Priest Mastery Versus Haste (Fortunately, No Math)
I've been displeased with my thoroughput lately. Well, I know, Holy Priests need a buff, and we will, but still… need more. Plus, for the first time this expansion, my mana is under control. Probably because things have been nerfed to high hell.
On Friday, I raided with my mastery-heavy build with only the 12.5% haste, buffed. This turned out to be quite painful because for the first time in a long time we did not have the 5% haste buff. The. Horror. (Which is what prompted me to try a haste-heavy build.)
On Saturday, I reforged all the things and raided with a haste-heavy build. My goal was to be able to hit the 12.5% mark unbuffed, but I was just shy of that.
I'm comparing logs for Beth (Friday) and Majordomo Jerkface (Saturday) because I did a similar total amount of healing and both of them have similar AOE HEAL ALL THE THINGS phases.
Friday (Mastery build). Echo of Light was 13.1% of my healing and 30.8% overheal.
Saturday (Haste build). Echo of Light was 11.9% of my healing and 30.3% overheal.
What does this mean? It's not conclusive that haste is better than mastery by any stretch. However, the shift from mastery to haste did not harm my performance. I've since swapped in a couple of haste-heavy sidegrades I had sitting in the bank, and we shall see how it goes next week with an even-m0re-haste set.
But HOLD ON THERE, you say. This is post-nerf. Generally speaking, at the start of an expansion, when things are extremely difficult and nobody is geared yet, holy mastery is less overheal because people are generally at lower health and benefit from more ticks of the Echo of Light HoT before being "topped off." Or they are never topped off because the healers are struggling.
A fair point. The furthest back the logs go is August 26, well before the nerf. For Beth'tilac on that date, Echo of Light was 12.2% of my healing. And overheal was 32%. Just because we were earlier in the expansion AND the fight went on longer (so more healing was needed at the end) did not affect the overheal of mastery.
Now, don't go running off to reforge all the things to haste just because MY logs are supporting the change. You need to look at your own logs. It's quite possible that Echo of Light won't be that much overheal for a different team that has a different healing style. We tend to be a nervous bunch and try to keep people close to topped off. We also don't do hard modes. And, we have a druid hotting all the things. Any of these factors can change how effective your Echo of Light is.

the last hour, a calm start, smooth water, silence
thankful for this time
and now the move south
hmmmm… about these instructions… I have had discussions , worried they break your beingness in this place. Its not what you do… But Rebecca says that this is the point. Am very aware about the daunting .. Interpretation is up to you..there are other elements included….. Maybe.. This is where It gets interesting.. Imagine if you did this for a year… Rebecca would have you at the ends of the earth and yourself?.. Whereas I might just ultimately refuse to instruct …How we think out differently I think.. Or maybe it seems dangerous to me.. of the things I could think of suggesting…and then what happens…These are random tentative exploratons of self in a particular space and time…..maybe not random enough..the aim is uncertain, a gathering of 'more' to work from and through.The Instructions mirrors of our own accumulancies.
Are there discussions to be had about the compass of life changing, instruction/connection/ omnipotency, and its opposite ,rules of life, ritual, chaos and order etc..there is always Extreme compass. Which could be life or death…and taste of fear etc..
24 directions sounds strong. Good luck…
know I have not had my mind turned towards the compass, and you have both been setting up web communications which I have so far not negotiated, I have been marking in the book tho.. it goes in surges , But you are finding some space to unravel . Must be strange sense of time marking days…also isolation ..I am not sure when this turns to loneness…I sometimes think it is like fasting.. Of the mind..I think it takes days to move away from the jangle of everyday and lose that and be deepening. I was worried the Instructions would interfere with simplicity of being self. The wind sounds like its pushing you around the surface of the earth , I have been trying to imagine the sounds of it whistling. It seems like you have gone to the moon.
I am midst clatter
I was sending directions for you there as though you were an avatar in my memory of the place, asking you to explore the things I would have wanted explore further if I was actually there.
Its been like a funny underlying thread to my life here, thinking of what you are or might be seeing there in Stykkishholmer. After having been there together last year I can visualize the spaces so clearly, although I am looking forward to hearing about the differences and new areas you will have discovered in the surrounding landscape in reality.

Very occaisonally you may see a phenomenon known as a 'sun pillar.' This appears as a colomn of either red or white light light extending vertically above and below the sun, and this is crossedby a similar horizontal bar. When it forms a complete cross in this manner, it is called the 'heavenly cross.'A sun pillar is caused by the reflection of the sun's rays on the vertical sides of columnar crystals in the atmosphere. Under similar conditions a 'moon pillar' is occasionally seen.

Answering the questions.
Has my sense of time shifted
Well, that it feels endless yet incredibly full, there have not been many times I have just sat and looked out the window, though walking around town just watching the view I just let my steps take me on all these newly familiar routes and am surprised if they take five minutes or twenty-five, there is never a moment without a long view or a big sky.
I wake at roughly the same time and sleep around midnight, no alarms. The first few days felt more strongly structured as I gave myself the rituals and directions to do, which were enough in themselves. I gradually loosened the order of them and took more time, shifted around a bit, spread out, there were many days where I did something in concentration for up to four or five hours, by that I mean really no breaks, why don't I feel the same license at home? Anyway it has gone into an overall shape – intense first few days, weather too, full of adventures and new places, notetaking, exploring, as my awareness and openness became more and more and everything began to be seen as if it were a line of poetry – an 'awe'some way to be, immense gratitude, but also an 'evening out' of mood made the mood compass hard as in general I felt so even and calm, partly the swimming, partly the immense amount of silence, partly the weather and landscape, partly no people, so I had to dig to find the mood changes and feelings.
The ferry was a turning point, the first long 'encased' ride over, then on deck freezing on the way back, and then it shifted, Ragnheildur arrived back, idea for a performance formed, suppers, wine, life stories and secrets. The intent became more focused to the event and the 'world' I was in came in to achieve that, came in does not sound good but it is what happens to me when the tangible has to happen.
I have connected with three women, R, the potter and Frida, one her stories and tragedies, two her generosity and artistry and thirdly because I was so open to her and we have bonded against unusual odds. But relationships take more time and energy and they were in the latter half of my time so that changes the structures too, though to say I had a rigid structure is untrue there were just things I wanted to do everyday. I started off military and achieving and continued achieving but softened and did not feel bad when I missed going to the light house ( I might have been blown off!). I do mind the missing the one swimming because I made the effort to go there after the performance and it was closed.
I have not made a structure for each day more of a list of 'things to do' if I did not do them they got shifted on. I started with swimming first then this began to swing around to later, but I was the first in the pool today and who knows maybe tomorrow.
I am not sure mood affects my structure very much. I think or seem to remember while here that I do actually have incredible inbuilt discipline. I was a dancer, one goes through so much 'over riding' of mood and body to do that so though I think I am lax and moody now, its only in comparison to that.
I find it hard to run my whole structure when its mine. I know this is my first year without children so I need to give myself time to adjust, R said it took her ten years, but its almost a relief to go and do the job in Toronto for five weeks when I can only do that, it has set hours but it feels so easy to have a job and a timetable. Somehow this year with no more paid jobs is hard and I am not sure I am achieving so much, it gets dissipated. My week at Fabrica and these 11 days are highlights of intensity, focus, discipline and I am at my happiest/calmest. Yet I also know I need the pull back times, the slow relaxed times, and social time. I am mostly social with one person at a time, that for me is best, and I use lots of my time for that.
So mood does not affect my structure much, though the day with all the drinking water was my least fulfilling day, so how one's body feels is something even if I over ride it often. So I think structure does affect my moods. I like it even if it is my own logic of structure.
My wild moments of falling off the edge of why, what, how, do cripple me momentarily, but one thing with age at least I know they will pass, or at least I know they are to do with ego, envy, little-mindedness, and that the pain, which is genuine, can be ameliorated by a sense of wholeness, interconnection and seeing one's place in the world.
Ah the ferry is coming in I might go greet it.

Thinking about the piece it was almost like a meditation rather than the hard task based feeling I thought it had, I was just not relating to them, which is something that has really struck me more about the pillars and the films and the ideas, they are through a container….will think more on that.
it's the first time I can really see the seaweed moving underwater something to do with calm and light
Have just come back from the Viking boat launch a wonderful event at the big shipyard, invited by the ship yard owner's wife , really kind of her as very special event . The Boat was launched with a sextet of Brass players playing a new composition, it was the tryout – it gets packed in a crate and sent to the Venice Biennale tomorrow . Much nicer here with just the friends and artists, he is Iceland's biggest artist I think – again Icelandic food, pancakes and rye bread with salmon and champagne.They enjoy life in Iceland I must say!
Its the best day, warm, sunny only tiny clouds along the horizon, snow shining on the mountains behind and in front all unsnowed the colour of my mustard green trousers, dull winter grass – no mowing. Sitting in the rubbish at the back of the fish yards nearly to the SW a bit W I know my directions very well here, need to improve them at home.
Birds gulls cormorants brown robins,, its actually noisy
all the fishing boats are out, lazing in the water, R says they go out whenever they can, keep old ways going.I am sitting on a rock amongst rubbish and broken seashells, its all a mess together. I like the different view of the lighthouse from here, without a house in it though I am among the warehouses, sunday, they could be empty but I felt and heard a thud, on a day like this no evil could come from scandanavian warehouses on the edge of the sea…
This is not a mile but its very peaceful
I will do a mile later when I go to the shipyard for a party…off there now
I went for a swim in bright warm sun as the pool opened then looked to church but no cars so no service, so walked back by the Convent determined to go in, it is Sunday. Just walked straight into the chapel, incense still in the air and lots of children having sunday school next door, how often will that come back to them in their memoirs I wonder, it does seem to mark people.
The Chapel, so unappealing, dark modern wood and crazy paving as the back altar wall! With a normal 'realistic' wooden crucifix and plain altar below, no this does not have beauty , what are beautiful are the 14/15 stations of the cross carved wood pictures around the edge, especially the borders, all sorts of leaves. No they are not from here as no trees, sort of poignant.
Then I realize it is all Polish, less Icelandic then.
I saw a man pursuing the horizon
by Stephen Crane
I saw a man pursuing the horizon;
Round and round they sped.
I was disturbed at this;
I accosted the man.
"It is futile," I said,
"You can never-"
"You lie," he cried,
And ran on.

Despite plane troubles that nixed the pre-match press conference, Wenger found a way to get out to press a good ole fashioned pep-talk, saying that the destiny of the team is in their hands and that he wants the boys to be rewarded for all their hard work and that he's personally going to buy them all a pony when they get back to London, if they beat Roma.
Sounding a familiar refrain, he said:
You judge a season at the end of the season and it's down to us in the coming months to show that we have the necessary quality and that people were too quick to write us off.
Sorry, but I don't recall any "writing off" of this team. I do recall "slagging off" after shiatty performances but that is perfectly natural and something I think the boss and his creche of players would do well to take on board rather than dismiss out of hand with broad statements like "we have been written off" and "judge us at the end of the season." Fans, 'fanatics' who love the club, are going to judge and be pissed off when they spend $1000 to fly to London to watch Arsenal take on a team of Tottenham rejects and put in a performance that was literally a somniferant to at least one other spectator.
I can't possibly speak for everyone but I'm fairly certain that what we all want to see is a team that is progressing from year to year. Getting better, challenging for awards, give the fans something to celebrate, and for 3/4 of this season, this was a club that looked more like it was digressing rather than progressing. Yes, Wenger and The Young Ones have turned that around a bit with this current run of form and Arsenal are finally closer to 4th place than 6th. They are also a hound's tooth away from the Champions League 1/4 finals and still playing catch-up with the rest of the league in the FA Cup.
Huzzah, keep up the good work, but could you all please do us a favor and stop pointing the finger outward for once? Take some responsibility for this mess?
If we have been critical it's because the team has put in a lot of gormless performances and the manager has refused to bolster key positions that he even admitted that the team needed. Frankly, it's patently disingenuous to say "oh well, you shouldn't have written us off" before you win anything. It's almost as if he's gloating, like he's saying "I told you not to write us off" — dude, beating Burnley and West Brom is hardly setting the world on fire. It was only two weeks ago that Arsenal let Fulham, FULHAM, overrun our midfield. So, maybe save the gloating for when you win the Champions League, you know, at the end of the season, when we're all supposed to judge you?
For me, the worst part of what he's doing is that by blaming those of us who have been critical, it absolves the team of their responsibility. And in this match today this team will be held accountable by Roma. Roma have watched the Fulham and Sunderland match tapes and they are saying that they are going to be "cautious" and "patient" which translates into "defensive" and "stealing goals on the counter." Arsenal will need to be at the top of their game and not let off for one second — this is a Champions League game, there's no do overs.
Fortunately, one characteristic of this team is that they do show up for big matches and if they play the way they did two weeks ago, if Denilson and Song can scratch out a huge performance in the middle again, and if Arsenal can take the chances we are given, I have no doubt that they will beat Roma.
This team has the quality to beat Roma but it's not about the quality, it's about the desire. We'll find out if they have the desire tonight.

Orioles Jerseys From China .NFC East | NFC North | NFC South | NFC West AFC East | AFC North| AFC South | AFC WestAFC EASTBuffalo BillsOn Monday, the Bills added Kroy Biermann to the?mix at outside linebacker, and hes expected to be on the practice field Tuesday. Is he a lock to make the 53-man roster? Not quite. The Bills still expect Manny Lawson to be ready for Week 1, and with veteran Lorenzo Alexander a good bet to stick for his special-teams contributions, that could leave only one roster spot for Biermann or undrafted rookies Eric Striker and Bryson Albright. The Bills could opt to use Biermann as an insurance policy for the rest of the preseason and keep one of their younger players on the final roster. -- Mike RodakMiami DolphinsThe Dolphins are expected to debut their full defensive line in the second preseason game against the Cowboys. Ndamukong Suh, Cameron Wake and Mario Williams all sat out of last weeks preseason opener against the Giants to avoid injuries, but the coaching staff believes its time to up the intensity in practice and games with those veterans. -- James WalkerNew England PatriotsThe condition of tight end?Rob Gronkowski, who took himself out of Mondays joint practice with the Bears after he pulled up along the sideline in 7-on-7 drills, is the top storyline for the team. There was no word on the severity of any injury at the end of practice.

Samsung unveils new Galaxy S7
The S7 sports a 5.1-inch screen, with a larger 5.5-inch Edge model equipped with the same kind of wraparound display the company debuted last year.
While the new phones look almost identical to the S6 line, Samsung is bringing back a memory-card slot and adding a longer-life battery after the absence of a removable power unit alienated fans last year.
Kiwis can order the phone from today with the phone due to ship to customers on March 11. The S7 will cost $1199 (32GB) while the S7 Edge will cost $1399 (32GB).
Samsung's efforts to win back customers from Apple and Chinese vendors saw it keep the form and shape of last year's models while fixing its shortcomings amid a weakening global market for smartphones.
With earnings sliding and the shares battered by three straight annual declines, South Korea's biggest company needs a hit product after the S6 failed to set the records that had been predicted.
Samsung abandoned removable batteries and a memory card slot from its marquee phone last year as it sought to make its devices thinner and use more premium materials such as metal casings, like Apple does.
The move backfired as it eliminated two key ways in which the company's devices were differentiated from iPhones. Samsung cut prices on the S6 smartphones in July last year, just three months after launch.
The new S7 models are waterproof for as long as 30 minutes in water 1.5m deep and come in gold, silver, white and black.
Realising that the megapixel count alone doesn't necessarily translate to quality images, Samsung is reducing resolution in the new phones to 12 megapixels from 16.
That allows individual pixels on the sensors to be larger, thus capturing more light. The new cameras also allow the camera's aperture to open wider, letting in more light. Together, the shutter needs to stay open for a shorter time, reducing the blurring that sometimes mars indoor and night shots.
Samsung also says its new phones will have a faster focus, which it says will improve performance at low light.
And for the selfie camera, Samsung is turning the screen into a flash, similar to what Apple introduced last year.
Also included is wireless charging and Marshmallow, the latest version of Google's Android operating system.
Samsung is also pushing new peripheral devices, including a spherical camera that can be connected to the S7.
The Gear 360 features two back-to-back fisheye lenses that each can capture a 180-degree image that can be streamed to the S7, earlier S6 models and the Note 5.
Samsung has been offering more wearable or portable electronics products that can be paired with its phones and moving up its product releases as it struggles to keep Apple at bay.

My son came in from college for the Texas dove opener. It was a good time. My son has a broken forearm and can't pick up more than a coffee cup with his left arm right now. He shot my 410 OU one handed. There is no substitute for youth. The dove were feeding in chest high goat weed. The cover was such that it made it impossible for the dog to see out of to mark the birds down. That combined with temps in the 90's made for adverse conditions and some good dog work. Crickets slick coat is an asset in the hot weather and he holds up to it pretty well. The pic is my son with his birds and Cricket. After the hunt we grilled bacon wrapped dove breasts stuffed with jalapeño and cream cheese!

I clearly recall back in the late 60s when I was taking college courses in nursing that one of the best things to help your brain recover better if you experience a stroke is to use you non-dominant hand for every day activities. Writing was one. This is one thing I practice often.
This too can be an exercise that veterans who have had TBI can practice to overcome the problems they have to deal with daily. It can help PTSD and aphasia too.
Now here's that suggestion again, 42 years later.
Use your non-dominant hand: If you're right-handed, use your left hand to eat, comb your hair, brush your teeth, write your name, or try putting your mouse pad on the other side of the keyboard. This practice of non-dominant hand use stimulates communication between the two hemispheres of the brain, helping to improve mental capacity as well as physical balance. Another idea: tai chi and yoga are physical activities that coach people to use the right and left side of the body equally.

My beloved Aston Villa, once champions of Europe but now languishing in England's second division, haven't given me much to smile about the last few years. Except for today, with some A+ video game-related social media banter.
Some background: fellow Championship side Leeds United (another former English powerhouse down on its luck) released a new club badge earlier today. It is awful.
One of the common jokes/complaints about the crest, which replaces Leeds' trademark White Rose of York with...some guy, is that it looks like one of the logos you'd find in Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer, which has to replace most official team names and badges with off-brand knockoffs.
Villa play Leeds in April, and so decided to whip up a match poster accordingly:
(For those who aren't familiar with the series and are still not sure what's going on, West Midlands Village is Villa's name in PES, while Yorkshire White is Leeds').
Nicely played all around. Except for you, Leeds. Try harder next time.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Basses [BG]' started by MadPink, Aug 26, 2002.
well what do you think of them? Whats better, a Wal or a Warroir?
*&$($....I thought I was in basses, not effects.
Thou shalt not drink/smoke and post pilgrim.
off to basses
Ive never actually played either, but from what Ive heard (recordings that have both, and descriptions of sound) and seen, Id say Id want a Wal.
Its just better suited for rock in my opinion.
They're totally different animals.
I agree, totally different animals. Adrian Juras (AJbassking) from TB has a beautiful six string Warrior that is one of the nicest electric basses I have ever seen or played. Another friend of mine has a Wal fretless that is a nice bass as well.

Dear Dr NerdLove
First of all here's a little background.
Due to some mental and physical health reasons I moved from my home to San Francisco where I am currently attending college. I have had little to no success with dating outside of a relationship I was in through OkCupid that ended about a year ago. I also used to do approaches at my old school with some friends of mine and we had some minor successes.
I saw your video on when and when not to flirt and I found it both informative and troubling. When I did used to do approaches I would almost exclusively do it at school, but since you said that doing that is normally seen as rude or bothersome I have been hesitant to try it here. The thing is when I'm at school is the only time I am around women on a daily basis. I can only go to bars once every two weeks or so because of my poor college kid financial situation. This has been taking a toll on my mental state in terms of provoking feelings of depression and self-hatred when I see a girl I find particularly attractive. I feel powerless and alone.
TL;DR: I wanna approach girls, because it feels like it's the only thing I am doing that might work, and everything else I've been doing doesn't. It is making me unhealthily sad. Please help.
Go, No-Go
