Are you up for a challenge? Next time you see a selfie of someone you have envious feelings towards, say something nice. Who knows? Maybe, despite the "fake" or "perfect" looking façade, they need your kindness.
We've all done it - snapped a quick pic of ourselves looking our best, hoping for some positive feedback from our Facebook friends or Instagram followers. The word "selfie" was just declared "Word of the Year" by Oxford Dictionaries and was added to the online Oxford Dictionary in August. Some selfie's are cute and some are funny, while others unabashedly scream, "I'm sure looking gorgeous today, don't you think?" Truth be told, I've never been comfortable taking pictures of myself - serious ones, that is - alone, and posting them on social media. Whenever I see a selfie, I always imagine the person holding his or her phone out in front of them, trying to get the perfect angle, and then spending an additional five minutes coming up with a clever phrase and cool filter. Have you ever watched someone in the process of snapping a selfie? That'll put a smile on your face. In fact, it may suddenly prompt you to take a selfie of yourself watching that person taking a selfie of themselves. But could selfie's actually be another way of bullying? There are lots of women who seem to think so. Recently, there was a huge online outrage over Norwegian fitness blogger Caroline Berg Eriksen, wife of Premier League player Lars-Kristian Eriksen, after she posted a selfie on Instagram just days after giving birth to her baby girl. The picture is of Eriksen in a bikini, proudly displaying completely flat, toned abs and skinny arms and legs with nary an unwanted pound on her post-pregnancy bod except for her newly blossomed bosom. Eriksen insists she posted the selfie with good intentions. "I let out the picture because I'm proud of myself and my body for something as tough as a pregnancy/birth, and I think all mothers, regardless of the body shall be," she said on her Facebook page. But thousands of shocked and - dare I say, jealous? - women grabbed their keyboards, fingers flying, and gave this gorgeous woman a piece of their mind. Some have called it "wildly provocative," wondering if she "even belonged to the same species" as "normal" women who maybe carry a couple of extra pounds for a couple of extra ... years. (I'm speaking of myself here.) "Perfect...?" One commenter wrote. "Except for the stretch marks." But others have applauded her, saying she did no wrong. "Fair play to her! If I looked like that 4 days after giving birth I'd walk the streets in my underwear!" one comment read. Being a fitness blogger, and having a smaller frame and good genes probably all played a role in this woman looking like she never gave birth. Another health-conscious mom who received negative media attention after posting a picture of her bikini-clad bod is fitness mom Maria Kang. Kang's shot was more "attack mode," I guess you could say. Posing with her three sons, ages 3, 2 and eight months, the caption read, "What's Your Excuse?" Kang's Facebook page was slammed with hateful comments, some even going as far as to say she was a bad mother and that she should spend more time focusing on her kids, instead of her rock-hard abs. "You are a bully with a super inflated sense of your own self," one comment read. But, like Eriksen, Kang insists her post was not meant to bully other women. I've never understood why curvier woman can post pictures of their beautiful bodies and be celebrated, but when skinnier women do, they are suddenly "showing off" or, as one angry woman stated on Kang's Facebook page, contributing to "the body shaming problem that is going on in North America and other parts of the world." Since when is being fit "body-shaming?" "Demonstrating possibilities in one's personal health should not be defined as promoting bullying, fat shaming or gloating," Kang said on TIME online. "Being called a bad mother and a bad person definitely hurts," she said in an interview with Yahoo Shine. Kang even commented on Eriksen's post-baby bod by posting a picture of herself on Facebook one week after giving birth and pasting it side-by-side with Eriksen's. "That's incredible," she said of Eriksen's slim silhouette, "but for those who are like me, it takes 9 months to build my belly and it took me nearly the same amount of time to get it back to where I wanted it...don't be hard on yourself. Life changes when you have a child making prioritizing your fitness more difficult." I believe there is a difference between having a healthy body - and healthy body image - and having an unhealthy body or body image. I know some girls who are "bigger" but incredibly healthy, who work out around two hours at the gym every single day. I also know girls who are skinny, but eat incredibly unhealthy food, and never get their heart rate up. Being skinny doesn't mean you are a prettier, healthier or a more fit human being, just as it doesn't mean you are bratty, self-obsessive, or vain, either. I think we should celebrate all women for who they are, and I firmly believe that when you are serving others (moms go to the top of the list here) and working on your spiritual well-being, that you radiate light. That light shines in your face and from your personality and transforms you. It makes you beautiful. Physically. It really, truly does. But I also truly believe that when you take care of yourself and take time to exercise and eat right so you can be at your best emotionally, mentally and spiritually, then you are doing yourself - your whole self - a lot of good. It's OK to take care of your body. Crucial even. The problem lies in making your body a point of obsession or source of depression. Are you up for a challenge? Next time you see a selfie of someone you maybe have envious feelings toward, or compare yourself to, or have a hard time liking, say something nice. Who knows? Maybe, despite the "fake" or "perfect" looking façade, they need your kindness. If you want, you can start with mine. (Yes, I'm in my jammie-jams.)%3Cimg%20src%3D%22http%3A//beacon.deseretconnect.com/beacon.gif%3Fcid%3D129722%26pid%3D46%22%20/%3E

My translation is a rough sketch, as in future drafts, I would tighten the prose somewhat (likely eliminating some of the repetitive clauses – en todos – that work well in Spanish but not as well in English), but I believe even this quick draft, which took all of maybe five minutes to type out, should give the reader enough information to judge for herself the power of this beginning.Le contaban cuentos cuando era chiquita. Muy chiquita, tanto su mamá como su papá. Los de su mamá eran mejores. No es que los de su papá fueran malos, no, nada de eso, eran estupendos y estaban poblados de héroes y aventureros y puertos exóticos y desiertos, pero eran vacilantes, a veces tanto que se volvían confusos. Como si su papá quisiera darle el gusto y anduviera tanteando porque no sabía, realmente no sabía lo que ella prefería. Y en todos, en los de su papá y en los de su mamá, en todos aparecía en algún momento el genio protector o el hada rubia o el gnomo pícaro que concedía tres deseos a la niñita perdida o al muchachito desamparado.
They told her stories when she was a little girl. Very little, as much her mama as her daddy. Her mama's were better. It's not that her daddy's were bad, no, nothing like that, they were stupendous and were populated with heroes and adventures and exotic ports and deserts, but they were unsteady, sometimes so much so that they turned confusing. As if her daddy wanted to please her and was gauging her reactions because he did not know, he truly did not know what she preferred. In all of them, in those of her daddy's and in those of her mama's, in all of them appeared at some moment the genii protector or the blond fairy or the wicked gnome that granted three wishes to the lost little girl or to the abandoned little boy.
For myself, I found myself remembering the stories my mother used to make up on the fly when she was stuck with me (and later, my sister) when I was a toddler, stories about a little cow named Coco (OK, not the most original of names, but it was something). There is something about stories told to us by parents during our youth that stick with us into our adulthood, and reading Gorodischer's opening paragraph, I was reminded of that. It is not precisely a "direct" introduction; there is a hesitant pause in reminiscing about the narrator's father that seems to carry the germ of something deeper, something I wanted to investigate further.
So I did. It was an even better tale than I expected, but that is something for another time.
What are your thoughts on this translated/original paragraph? Would you have wanted to read on from this point?

It is our fondest desire that this project will be good for the people of Montalcino, good for Italy, good for America, good for all people who love fine wine." With these words John F. Mariani declared the inauguration of the Banfi winery on September 12, 1984.
Deciding to establish a point of excellence in Montalcino, the Mariani family intrinsically tied Banfi to this territory and its own development.
Banfi represents a heritage and a unique experience in the world of viticulture and winemaking, in which a profound respect for the land and the intense desire to exalt its character resulted in multiple research projects. Perhaps the most important of these involved the attentive clonal selection of Sangiovese, the symbol of Montalcino, to show its inimitable expression and great versatility in the historic Brunello denomination. At the same time, we did not overlook the potential of the principal international varietals which find an ideal environment for an alternative expression of this place.
Respect for the potential of this territory and the desire to exalt its character have always inspired our winemaking at Banfi, resulting in a prestigious selection that is uniquely characterized by a soul closely tied to this unique, inimitable, and extraordinary land.
The respect of the environment and of people's wellness has driven Banfi to being in harmony with the immediate territory, through a rational use of the natural resources and the love for the environment itself.
The Pursuit of Excellence arises from a respect and love for this territory, essential elements and the fundamental starting points for our adventure.
"Tradition is not about holding on to the ashes but keeping the flame alive."
Jean Léon Jaurès
Innovation, accompanied by passion and tradition, make our adventure unique. Together with other golden rules, it represents our core values, that which distinguishes us in the world of viticulture and winemaking. This value is intrinsic with tradition: if this represents our starting point, innovation is what points us toward the future, that which drives us along the necessary path for a continual pursuit of excellence.
No wonderful adventure could begin or continue without passion, which has distinguished our work here since the beginning.
The fruit of our work, available for the world to witness firsthand.
Banfi strongly believes in sustainability as a comprehensive concept that involves all stages of the production chain, the adoption of a basic strategy, and a well-defined strategic plan.

A $1.5 billion expansion of Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport is gaining momentum amid uncertainty about future flying needs and growing scrutiny of the project's impact on surrounding neighborhoods.
The proposed expansion would increase airplane noise for thousands of metro homes. Most of them received sound-proofing from the airport and won't get additional help. But 1,131 in Minneapolis are expected to get subsidized sound-proofing.
The agency that runs the airport said the expansion is needed to relieve current congestion and meet future demand. The Metropolitan Airports Commission recently released a report on the environmental impact of the expansion. That will be the focus of public sessions in the next few weeks that could help shape a final decision.
But even some members of the airports commission question whether demand will justify the expansion.
"I'm a little concerned about where the economy is going to be in the next decade or two," said Commissioner Mike Landy. "I've seen some airports ... Cincinnati is one, that have been entirely turned on their head. I just want to be a little careful."
"I don't think it's a done deal," said Commissioner Greg Foster, who represents Minneapolis. "There's skepticism from the commissioners as to how much we really need to proceed with. We need to be very cautious about spending a lot of money without the clear path to increased traffic."
The plan calls for remodeling concourses and building a new international wing and a parking ramp and paying for it with airport revenues, mostly from passengers and airlines. The expansion would benefit the airport's dominant carrier, Delta Air Lines, by consolidating its operations into one terminal and moving other major airlines to a less popular one with low-cost carriers.
The airport is recommending the move over a less expensive expansion that would leave United and other major airlines with Delta and its partners at the Lindbergh terminal and keep low-cost carriers at the Humphrey terminal.
Airport officials say the terminals already are overcrowded or lack gates during peak travel times.
Predicting demand
The plan is based on assumptions that Delta will maintain a major hub at the airport, larger aircraft will carry more passengers and the Twin Cities business community will resume expanding after economic hard times.
"Unless the economy totally collapses, there is going to be growth in the market here," said Dennis Probst, executive vice president of the airports commission. Citing the presence of numerous Fortune 500 firms in the region, he said, "The business community is going to continue to travel unless folks start pulling out of here."
Still, Probst acknowledges that estimating future demand can be dicey.
"These are forecasts," he said. "I can guarantee ... if you pick a date out there and pull the number off our chart, it's going to be wrong."
He said any expansion would occur in stages and be phased in according to demand.
Arrivals and departures are expected to increase from 437,075 in 2010 to 484,879 in 2020. By 2025, the airport predicts that number will reach 526,040.
That would fall short of the 541,093 flights at the airport in 2004, when air traffic peaked before economic problems hit the airlines and general economy.
But because airlines are replacing 50-seat planes with larger regional aircraft and flying them to capacity, the number of passengers is forecast to reach 50 million by 2030 compared with 37.6 million at the peak before the recession, Probst said.
Others skeptical
The prediction is "really, really aggressive," said Michael Boyd, an industry analyst in Denver who forecasts trends for airports and airlines. "They have to base it on what Delta Air Lines may or may not do. That's hard."
Cincinnati saw a major drop in traffic after Delta slashed its hub operations there. "Pittsburgh built a brand-new terminal," Boyd said. "They said if US Airways pulled the plug, somebody else will be here. Now they have a lot of plywood-boarded-up buildings."
The expansion isn't needed, says Minneapolis City Council member John Quincy, who has followed airport issues closely over many years.
"We've built an awfully big box already," Quincy said. Citing high grades for the airport from critics and uncertainty about demand, he asked, "Why do you need to spend another billion dollars on an airport expansion?"
The report on the environmental impact concludes that it wouldn't be significant and that roughly as many homes would face increased noise even without the expansion, assuming the same increase in demand for flights.
It will be rolled out for discussion at meetings this week in Minneapolis and in Eagan, which along with some areas of Richfield, Bloomington and Mendota Heights, would experience rising levels of noise. The report forecasts 2,703 metro-area homes would experience more noise by 2020 than in 2010, but most received sound-proofing when noise reached similar levels during peak travel years ago and won't get any more. Only 1,131 homes in Minneapolis would get noise abatement for the first time or additional abatement. They would be eligible for air-conditioning, reimbursed upgrades and other improvements.
The city of Minneapolis last week prepared a statement critical of the findings.
"There are serious problems with how the MAC is developing the noise exposure maps, which are the basis for understanding how airplane noise affects the community, as well as determining which homes receive future noise mitigation," a draft read. "It is likely there will be major environmental impacts."

Crews race to take advantage of fire reprieve
Firefighters around the nation are racing to bring a number of blazes under control before an expected spike in temperatures and wind speeds.
Record temperatures earlier this week sparked massive bushfires across large parts of south-eastern Australia, with homes destroyed in Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales.
Currently there are more than 100 separate fires burning across New South Wales, with 300,000 hectares of land destroyed so far.
The state's Rural Fire Service (RFS) took advantage of cooler conditions in the south overnight to tackle three of the worst blazes.
RFS crews have worked around the clock in a bid to contain large blazes burning near Yass, Dean's Gap and Cooma.
The Dean's Gap blaze near Wandandian is within one kilometre of a former military bombing range scattered with unexploded bombs.
RFS Superintendent Matt Inwood says the overnight conditions were a blessing, but they will not last long.
"The cooler conditions have certainly assisted the firefighters on the ground in being able to get in and get some containment lines established around these fires, and indeed back-burn around some of those containment lines," he said.
"We definitely will make the most of those conditions while we have them, but we're very mindful of the warmer conditions expected over the coming week."
Mr Inwood says he is pleased with back-burning efforts so far, but added there is still much work to be done.
"For example we look at the Cobbler Road fire, which is burning about 10 kilometres to the west of Yass, that fire is a 14,000 hectare fire with a 94-kilometre perimeter around the edge," he said.
"So firefighters have worked around the clock on that for the last 48 hours and certainly will continue throughout the day making the most of the cooler conditions."
Peter Dice, from the Southern Tablelands RFS, says he is confident they will soon start to get the upper hand on the massive blaze burning near Yass.
"There's a lot of smoke, a lot of active fire within the fire ground still. But as the day goes on a lot of that stuff will burn out and die down, and then hopefully between today and tomorrow we'll be trying to make sure this is really secure for what may happen on the weekend," he said.
Queensland swelters
In Queensland 16 fire crews have spent the night strengthening containment lines to help bring a bushfire on Bribie Island, north of Brisbane, under control.
There is still no immediate threat to properties, but firefighters will be assessing the weather situation this morning.
A bushfire advice message remains in place for residents on the island.
Camping grounds and national parks will also remain closed until further notice.
The state is in for more sweltering weather today, with forecasters predicting temperatures will rise above 30 degrees Celsius in just about every town and city.
Senior forecaster Michael Knepp says it will be 32 degrees in Brisbane, 36 at Ipswich, 30 on the Gold Coast and 33 degrees on the Sunshine Coast.
He says western parts of the state including, Longreach, Winton, Mt Isa, Roma and Charleville will be scorching.
"Really most of the state is going to be hot. We won't see a temperature under 30, unless you go to one of the islands," he said.
"But on the mainland every single place in the state is going to be over 30 today, so over 40 in a lot of western Queensland, so that is not unusual for this time of the year."
Mr Knepp says afternoon thunderstorms are predicted in southern Queensland today, but will not be enough to eliminate the fire threat.
"Mostly the thunderstorms will be out west along the ranges in the western suburbs will more likely get them," he said.
"So unfortunately there won't be a lot of rainfall in these thunderstorms there will be a little bit so cross your fingers they go over some of the fires and help the firies out there."
'Bear with us'
Tasmania's fire services have urged residents not to become complacent as fire warnings are still current for parts of the state.
It has been a week since major bushfires broke out at Forcett, Nubeena in the south-east, Lake Repulse in the upper Derwent Valley and in the remote south-west.
Tasmanian RFS deputy chief officer Gavin Freeman says the fire service is updating warnings and information as often as possible.
"We're very aware that the message could wear a bit thin if it seems to be the same tired old message, but we just appeal to the community to bear with us," he said.
"We're doing the best we can to get accurate information to you, we understand and appreciate that it's hard, it's very tiring for you and the message sometimes sounds the same. But until we're absolutely sure that everybody's safe we'll continue to put those warnings out."
The fire that started at Forcett continues to burn out of control near the Forestier and Tasman peninsulas.
Fire crews are patrolling the fire to put out flare-ups but people in the Kellevie, Bream Creek, Eaglehawk Neck, Pirates Bay, Doo Town, Old Jetty Road and Blowhole Road areas are urged to remain vigilant.
But hopes are rising that there may not have been any lives lost despite the ferocity of the Tasmanian fires.
Emergency grants
Meanwhile, in Victoria fire crews are still battling a near 7,000 hectare bushfire near Portland in Victoria's south-west.
A meeting is being held at the Dartmoor Town Hall at 11am (AEDT) to discuss the fire-fighting strategy with locals.
The Victorian Government will consider emergency grants for people who lost their homes in a fire in the state's west this week.
Nine homes were destroyed in the blaze which broke out near Chepstowe, west of Ballarat, on Tuesday.
Up to 1,000 head of livestock were killed and 12 vehicles destroyed by the fire.
The Deputy Premier, Peter Ryan, says the government will await insurance assessments before announcing further assistance, but immediate help will be available.
"Certainly in the first instance, we will be looking to make emergency grants to people who are actually in need of them, should it be that we can establish that there are folk there who are desperate to have personalised support," he said.

Kosher Recipes
Nothing is more satisfying than an empty crumpled bag of whole wheat flour sitting on my kitchen counter. Especially a month before Passover.
So when I saw Mark Bittman's "Whole Wheat Muffin, The Remix" recipe in the New York Times, I decided it was worth a try.
The only problem was, it called for "preferably whole wheat pastry flour", and I only had a bag of regular whole wheat flour. I also decided to see if anyone would notice if I substituted agave nectar for sugar.
I ran out and bought buttermilk, (you can also make your own easy buttermilk HERE) and on Sunday morning the muffins were mixed, baked, and out of the oven within the hour. Cleanup was a cinch. I made a double batch. The first bunch was filled with a baked and mashed sweet potato. I topped those with leftover shredded coconut from my freezer. The second batch was mixed with 3 really ripe bananas that would have otherwise gone in the garbage. I topped them with chocolate chunks just to make sure that they didnt look too healthy.
Well, I left them all in a plate, and ran out to exercise.
Conclusion: The all time favorite was the banana chocolate. Not such a hit was the sweet potato topped with coconut.
They never even guessed that agave nectar was the sweet culprit.
This is a really great grab- and- go breakfast item for the older members of the family. I have a feeling that kids under eighth grade wouldnt go for it so early in the morning but its worth a try. This is also not a recipe for a sugar lover like my sister-in-law who would rather have a Snickers for breakfast. Give it a try!

1) Is it possibile to have a functionality, such as the default VDJ8 Skin, that resize only track wave-form with mouse wheel over it ? Actually it resize the main wave-form over the decks too.
2) Is it possibile to configure the central "button" over the skin, in waveform section, to resize only the track wave-form (see above) ? Actually it resize the main wave-form over the decks too, but, for me, it's redundat, because there's already a vertical "bar" on top left of main wave-form that do this functionality.
3) Is it possible to "flash" or "blink" the circle deck and/or REMAIN time, when the song it's near the end ?
4) I see in the graphics file of this skin, the "Sandbox" "button": is it for future implementation or it's already implemented ?
5) The text font size (all) it's very small, for me. On my notebook with resolution 1366x768, it's very difficult to read clearly all the text on the skin (some it's not readable at all). If it's a problem, don't worry: I try to adjust it for my own use in the XML code, such as previous version (that was bigger font than this). Expecially I'm interesting on very greater font on REMAIN conunter: with actual "space" on skin, I can't enlarge it to much.
Also, the "Width" and "Height" of many text it's not large enought to contain e bigger "Size" of font, if I need to change it: it's very appreciate if at least this value are greater, so I can change only the "Size" font.
Thank You in advance for attention.
Best Regards
P.S.: Excuse me for bad english :-)

I have used your deck swap skin for version VDJ7 for quite some time. I only use 2 decks normally, so, have been using the default skin for VDJ8 until now. Ooh and thank you, thank you, thank you for the Mini players when using browser zoom. It has always been a problem getting engrossed in browsing and having to constantly check on the status of the players. Looking forward to using it at my next gig. :-)
P.S. Just found a problem - no pitch reset button on the skin.
I have programmed my MC6000 with a key combination for pitch reset, pitch lock and smart sync toggle on/off. I use these extensively when I want to beat mix or disable beat mixing. But with your skin I can't do this with the mouse if it is needed.
P.P.S. There a small spelling mistake on the wave type (PC & Mac) - Choose Song Position Style

1) If I press "Browser" phisical button on DN-MC6000, the browser does not go on full-screen (like version 1.0 of this skin... even if not working correctly too), but it "Tab" (on each press) focus on the panels in the browser section
2) The following combination buttons, on DN-MC6000, (as labelled on it and default configuration):
does not work at all. With initial version (1.0), working.
Anyway, Great Work !!! Thank You very much for this beautiful skin !
I already modified it with bigger fonts, because on a resolution of 1366x768 some text it's not readable.

could you please add this top wave view option for Deck 1-3 up to the other Deck 2-4?
I don't like to see Deck 1-3 wave upside down like now.
Thanks in advance

Almost forgot! This is the skin you made for VDJ 7!
[Moderation]. Please dont post pics from another skin here. It may confuse users as they will think that its related to this one.

Actually my focus is to solve the problem with combination button on DN-MC6000, that does not work with this skin; with version 1.0 of this skin, the combination button working whitout problem.
Another question, why the button:
have the text builted in the graphics files and not managed by XML label command ?
The skin made with maximum resolution (all new skins for VD8), are not "clearly" resized with less resolution.
For example, many text of this skin are not readable with resolution 1366x768, so I changed the size of it in the XML file;
I'd like to change the above label also, because, for me, it's relevant the definition difference of label text on XML and the
above "graphic text" on button resized by the engine of VDJ.
Anyway, Thank You for this great work.

cycle '@$center' 4 if you need to cycle though the 4 Center panels. or..
set '@$center' 0 ( to open the MIXER panel)
set '@$center' 1 ( to open the VIDEO panel)
set '@$center' 2 ( to open the SCRATCH panel)
set '@$center' 3 ( to open the MASTER panel)
To toggle between the Large and the Normal Browser, you need to assign a button as ..
toggle '@$browser'
I dont understand the issue with the Sanbox, but just fyi, Sandbox is not available when an External Mixer audio configuration is selected or Video files are used/loaded in decks. Its by design, software wise, nothing to do with the skin.

I changed the XML script only to enlarge the existing label, so it's more readable with resolution on my notebook.
For the "Sanbox issue" perhaps I was not clear in exposing the problem; the Sanbox (and other buttons) does not have a functionality issue;
I'm asking why, for only this buttons, the label of it ("SANDBOX", "MIXER", etc...) are "printed" in the graphic file ("4 Decks.png") and not managed in the
XML file ("4 Decks.xml"), such as other Text Label; with this situation, I can't change the font size (or color) of it. But it's not important for the main functionality. If you can change it, OK, otherwise never mind of it :-).
I also hope that you manage to implement the waveform proposed by Cioce.
Thank You for attention and quick response.

The request must be made in writing. State that the request is a Freedom of Information ActRequest and give complete unit information (as specific as possible including company and platoon), and month and year of the roster/reports that you are requesting. Because the quality of the records can be poor, it is advisable to ask for rosters a few months before and after the actual month you are looking for.
There are usually no fees charged for "Freedom of Information Act Requests." Turnaround time can be very slow. Plan on several months. Operations Reports/Lessons Learned (ORLL) and other primary source material about Army units in Vietnam such as radio logs, unit journals, and after action reports, are stored at the Textual Reference Branch, National Archives II, 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD 20740-6001, 301-713-7250, fax 301-713-7482. Call and ask to speak with an Archivist specializing in the Vietnam War before going to the Archives. They can assist in determining whether materials you are interested in are available and explain how to obtain a researcher's card to examine the documents. Similar reference assistance may also be obtained from: the U.S. Army Center for Military History, 1099 14th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20005, 202-761-5413, and the U.S. Army Military History Institute, Bldg. 22, Upton Hall, Carlisle Barracks, Carlisle, PA 17013-5008, 717-245-3611, fax 717-245-3711.

When requesting medical records a statement should be included that they are needed by a current physician. If information is being requested regarding a specific injury or illness, that should be specified. If records regarding hospitalizations are needed, provide the dates that the hospitalization occurred and the name of the hospital. Send the SF 180 to the National Personnel Records Center, 9700 Page Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63132-5100. Expect a significant waiting period before receiving the information.

Not all are. For so many.....they are still in St. Louis. or other locations. You must be enrolled in the system before
records are forwarded to the regional office. I am sure you know it all starts with the DD214.
Many do not even have a copy of their DD214.

I have gotten bad about updating the blog as often as I used to. Looks like I have gotten into a habit of making a weekly post with pictures. So here goes the details of the last week...
On Wednesday Ryder had school and Zak had his YMCA class. Before Zak's class we took a tour of the facility to learn more about the programs and other things they offer. After dinner on Wednesday night we went to Friendly's for dessert because Ryder's school was having a fundraiser there. The boys were excited because they got to have their own ice cream sundae! They both made a mess (Ryder much more than Zak), but had a great time.
Ryder had fun with stickers!
(not sure what day this was from, but thought it was funny)On Thursday Ryder had school. Thursday was also the day that we had a huge rain storm that lasted ALL day. In the end we got between 6-8 inches of rain which led to tons of flooding. We did get some water in our basement and a leak dripping into our kitchen, but nothing too bad. Ben had issues while at work because the flooding caused tons of road closures. At one point he was stuck in a parking lot for a while, but was eventually able to get back to his office for a bit and then home early. Schools closed early, but Ryder still came home at the normal time. Zak and I worked on some school work at home which he always enjoys.
Friday the rain had stopped so the boys and I ran some errands and then took a walk around the community. It was still extremely wet out so the boys had fun in the puddles and mud before we headed inside. Once inside we did some school work. They both had fun with the coloring, work sheets, writing, and puzzles.
Zak's letter 'A' practice
Ryder circles, he made a face
Zak decided to make some on his own!
Ryder's coloring practice
Zak's outfit of choice
Home Depot apron, underwear, silly bandsOn Saturday morning we went to Rich & Laura's house. I left Ben and the boys there while I went to do a few things on my own. The boys spent most of their time playing doctor with Nanny. I went to the Annapolis Moms of Multiples (AMOM) fall sale during the half price hour. I spent $38 and walked out with overalls (2), sweater, pants, long sleeved shirts (7 or so), pajamas (8 or so), and a bag of long sleeved shirts for Madelyn. After I was done there I headed to Annapolis High School to pick something up from Colleen and drop off Madelyn's shirts to her. Once I was done there I went back to pick up the Ben and the boys from Rich & Laura's house. We then went to BJs and finally back home. The boys were super excited to put on their new jammies.
This morning the boys put their Redskins jerseys over their pjs. I made a trip to the grocery store to buy food for our meals this coming week. Then Ben headed to his mom's house. They went to the closing game for the Orioles today. The boys and I had a lazy day at home and didn't really do much of anything.

Social acceptability; this is the next big move Im working on! What does social acceptability mean! How am I impacted by social acceptability! Whats it like being disabled in the social ability realm!
I mention social acceptability, not just relational dysfunctional help or healing! Im finding a big difference between relationship and social interaction in general! "A social interaction is an exchange between two or more individuals and is a building block of society. Social interaction can be studied between groups of two (dyads), three (triads) or larger social groups. By interacting with one another, people design rules, institutions and systems within which they seek to live"
I have not been able to design a way of living! I have had no social abilities! Ive not had the ability to interact with anyone up close; dissociative disorder destroyed this! I am working on solutions for this problem! Im getting better! Im still dissociative up close with people! Im learning new methods for change in this area!
One area Im working on is 12 step group sharing! This is constant and necessary; not always fun! Im walking into a random group of people, over n over, and sharing about my personal situation with social and relational problems! I work this several times a day! Slowly over time; its working to heal up the feared blind spots associated people; Im afraid of being attacked to the point, I dissociate! It makes no difference who Im talking with; the condition is triggered by closeness and proximity and the movements forward toward me; someone walking toward me! In addition; how aggressive a person is; this will determine the amount of expression I feel safe to withhold!
Im withholding from the world; I would like to express to the world my opinions and views and feel safe again in my own space! its hard to write about! I start dissociating while Im writing about it!
I have much work to do on self@!

Skip to comments.Mental health group B4U-Act looks to remove stigma from paedophilia
Posted on 08/24/2011 9:33:39 PM PDT by Beowulf9
The organisation, which calls itself B4U-Act, is lobbying for changes to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM, the guideline of standards on mental health that is put together by the American Psychiatric Association, FOXNews.com said.
The group says its mission is to help paedophiles before they create a crisis, and to do so by offering a less critical view of the disorder.
"Stigmatising and stereotyping minor-attracted people inflames the fears of minor-attracted people, mental health professionals and the public, without contributing to an understanding of minor-attracted people or the issue of child sexual abuse," reads the organisation's website.
(Excerpt) Read more at heraldsun.com.au ...
"Minor-attracted people". Geez! There are some sick shrinks out there running around unmonitored.
B4U-Act, /
I say we check the harddrives of these peoples computers to see how much child porn they contain. Seems to me that some of them want to feel less guilty about their own feelings and want to make it easier for them to molest children without fear of arrest.
Minor-attracted people"
I hope this group doesn't get their way, I take it to put a stigma on this behavior means to make it against the law. To take it away would then mean you cannot arrest them.
Well, they seem to be mental, indeed
I don't consider it my business to pry, unasked, into other people's dirty minds, so long as those people are not moved thereby to perform dirty deeds upon humanity. I needn't ever know, say, my middle aged neighbor has a crush on, say, a young teen if he keeps it and his hands to himself.
I'm not sure we have more dirty minds today so much as less practice in self control.
I see that "Minor Attracted People" are not the only sick SOB's! The people who are supporting these pedophiles should also be locked up.
These so called doctors are crazier than the people they treat.

OH, WAIT, were we supposed to stop somewhere?!?
Did anyone really think this would stop if only society "approved" of homosexuality?
Perversion, by definition, must be something that is unacceptable to the Establishment. So, no matter what society approves of, the perversion pimps and addicts have to take up the next thing that they feel makes them shocking and excluded.
There's always necrophilia.
No, it won't stop. Because the whole point is moral nihlism and, less philosophically, the mental need to be shocking and victimized by society's disgust.
It's no different than once tattoos went mainstream, those who used tattoos to make themselves look "bad" and as "outsiders" moved to more extreme tattoos and body piercing and stretching their ears until they look like cows.
It won't stop. Because the impulse to pervert what is good and natural is unquenchable.
This is unbelievable. What do they mean, "before they act." Act in what way??? Shoot themselves?
These Leftist degenerates began to scheme over sixty years ago to secure public acceptance of their depravity. Havelock Ellis, a founder of the Fabian Society, compiled a massive erotic work entitled, Studies In The Psychology Of Sex. Ellis was a sexual pervert and drug user. He and a group of fellow Leftists even pioneered in the experimental use of hallucinogens in private orgies. Ellis was definitely a pathological case. He drove his wife into Lesbianism and drug addiction, securing additional erotic excitement by urging her to recite her Lesbian experiences. Mrs. Ellis eventually went insane and died in utmost misery after denouncing her husband as a sexual monster.
In 1939, a comrade of Keynes and Strachey named Bertrand Russell came to America to push their obscenitarian socialism and was (he says in his Autobiography) legally charged as lecherous, libidinous, lustful, venerous, erotomaniac, aphrodisiac, irreverent, narrow-minded, untruthful, and bereft of moral fiber. His aborted object had been to permeate the College of the City of New York with the corruption of the British Fabians. Immediately, John Dewey and other American Fabians organized to cry that Academic Freedom was under attack. The National Education Association (NEA) and the whole Leftist educational complex began to percolate pervasive degeneracies as being Liberal and progressive.
The works of Keynes, Lytton Strachey, and Bertrand Russell have been, and are today, required reading in almost every college and university in the United States and Canada...
They planned a slow and gradual strategy...it's been in the works for almost a century.
Psychiatrists —the APA I believe— years ago declared that homosexuality is not a mental disorder. This is the logical next step in normalizing all forms of deviant behavior. Lock up your children now, and farm animals as well.
"Theres always necrophilia."
Some folks are just dying to try that.

There are a whole bunch of accessories for the manduca baby carrier that you should definitely get to know! Some of them can really make your everyday life easier – or just more colourful. Today's blogpost will provide you with a brief overview of the manduca accessories, and more. Because manduca is not the only place that provides accessories. Some things you can even make yourself, with a little skill and creativity.
Practical for dribbly babies: manduca FumBee
No matter whether they are teething or not – some babies dribble and drool for months. And they love to chew on anything they can get their mouths on. When it comes to the manduca, this is no problem because the baby carrier is non-toxic and dyed exclusively with natural dyes. But the shoulder straps get really wet – soaked with drool or even milk. As the manduca is fully machine washable, you can easily wash it – but you might not want to do that every day. Here, FumBee strap protectors are a great help because thanks to the hook-and-loop fastener, they are quick and easy to put on, and they can be washed and dried in next to no time. And FumBees are not only meant for the manduca – they can be fitted to other straps such as car seat straps too.
For toddlers' teething time, FumBees are the top tip! They are available in ecru, grey, and brown, and also in a series of limited design editions. In addition to FumBees, you might want to use a dribble bib for your baby (so that baby's shirt is not soaking). If you have the time and the inclination, you may even want to make a bib yourself – how about this one? made by me and shared with you.
Small, but clever: manduca Pouch with shoulder strap
I particularly like the manduca Pouch because I am not into purses. Too often, there is just too much stuff to put in your pant pockets (and mobile phones are getting bigger and bigger, too!). The manduca Pouch is small yet spacious, unobtrusive yet versatile. The interesting thing about the Pouch is that you can wear it in many different ways – with or without baby carrier: as a shoulder bag, around your waist – and thanks to the clever fastener, even directly on the hip belt of your manduca. The bag is made of hemp and organic cotton, and is also machine washable.
You don't need a ZipIn, you just want one!
I am sure you know the feeling – always having to wear the same thing is boring. Life is much more colourful when you can have things you don't really need! This is the case with the manduca ZipIns: the fabric panels have no particular function but they are a design feature for your manduca. Simply zip them into the manduca back extension for a different look to your manduca. Useless, but stylish! There are ZipIns made of colourful zippers and ZipIns made of cotton – in the LimitedEdition designs. ZipIn your Style!
And the newborns? Is there something for the little ones?
With your manduca, the infant seat for newborns and small babies is already integrated – allowing you to carry your baby in your manduca from birth. But parents have different preferences and everyday is a different day – this is why we offer manduca newborn accessories, an alternative or an addition for the babywearing of small babies. First, there is the manduca Size-It – a softly padded, flexible textile belt that adjusts the seat of the manduca to fit to your baby's size – in combination with or without the integrated infant seat.
Another newborn accessory for carrying small babies is the ZipIn Ellipse. Just like the other ZipIns, it is zipped into the manduca back extension, but not for decorative purposes. The functional ZipIn Ellipse adapts the shape of the manduca to the natural curve of the small baby's spine. Depending on the size of the baby and on your preferences, you could combine it with the Size-It and the integrated infant seat too. To cut a long story short: manduca newborn accessories offer just more ways to carry small babies.
Color up your baby's legs: BabyLegs legwarmers
Babylegs arm and leg warmers are my favorite accessories! Babylegs are must-haves and wants They are not only eye-catching but also ultra practical:
- • for toddlers and crawlers! (no more sore knees)
- • for beach babies! (providing UPF 50+ protection)
- • for diaper babies! (for faster diaper changes)
- • for potty trainees! (tights are bothersome)
- • for girls that like to wear dresses all year round! (warm legs even on really cold days)
- • for those who always feel the cold! (an extra layer keeps you nice and warm)
- • for teenagers! (older siblings love cuddly arm warmers)
Babywearing jackets and covers
There is the right manduca by MaM babywearing cover or jacket for all kinds of weather and for all tastes. As the manduca blog already provides plenty of information on these covers and jackets, here is just a brief overview:
- • on rainy days: the rainproof All-Weather Cover & All-Weather Jacket
- • on wet and cold days: Two-Way Jacket Deluxe Jacket with detachable sleeves, Babywearing Cover Deluxe
- • on not too cold days: Cold Weather Insert
Whether purchased or homemade – babywearing accessories always make a nice gift for that special someone. After all, it's nearly Easter!

Whiskey and yoga. That's how Lady Gaga stays fit.
"I'm on the drunk diet," the pop diva said on the Sirius Morning Mash Up radio show. "I like to drink whisky and stuff while I'm working."
The star's unorthodox weight loss regimen is built on a "work hard, play hard" mentality.
U.S. & World
"The deal is, I've got to work out every day, and I work out hung over if I'm hung over," she said.
The comments had all the pizzazz the provocative songstress is known for, but they were also a little promotion for her partner.
Gaga's beau, New York bar owner, partier, and long-distance runner Luc Carl has just signed on to write a book called "The Drunk Diet," according to the New York Daily News.
The tome will detail how he lost 40 pounds without giving up a raucous nightlife.
But, staying slim is about more than just book sales for Mother Monster.
"I'm at a turning point in my career where I really want to perfect singing live while dancing," she said.
Two-hour live performances like the one she gave in Atlantic City Saturday night are grueling cardiovascular affairs when you're not lip-synching.
"I've never been a lip-syncher, and I don't intend on it," the "Born This Way" star added.
So to stay in top form, Gaga relies on modern dance, yoga, and yes, whiskey.

1. Travel
Ever since my parents took me on a trip to the Caribbean as a child, I plotted to find a way to spend every winter in the tropics. I wanted to get paid to travel. I wanted to escape the Chicago snow.
My chance came in grad school when I had the opportunity to teach field schools in Belize. I was in grad school for a long time so I was able to look forward to flying south with the birds each time spring semester rolled around.
Since completing my MA and PhD in Archaeology I've continued living a nomadic life by working on projects in Mexico, California, and Arizona. What I didn't expect was that I'd eventually tire of travel after moving from motel to motel off remote desert highways as a CRM archaeologist. So now I'm what they call an armchair archaeologist, and today I'm exploring world archaeology via posts to this blog.

The Dangers of Inhalants
Inhalants make up a category of drugs that are inhaled into the lungs – either directly via spraying or indirectly with paraphernalia, such as a rag that is soaked in the inhalant – in order to achieve a high.
Inhalant abuse is sometimes referred to as "the forgotten drug epidemic," because millions of Americans have abused these substances at some point in their lives; however, the consequences of this kind of drug abuse are not reported as widely as the consequences of other drugs like cocaine or prescription painkillers.
The term inhalants covers a range of dangerous and addictive substances, from nitrous oxide to hairspray. Some inhalants are drugs with other medical uses, but many are legal household substances with intoxicating chemicals that can be abused for a temporary high. These chemicals are extremely dangerous and can even be deadly.
Inhalants include:
- Volatile solvents: chemicals that become vapor or gas at room temperature, including glue, lighter fluid, felt-tip markers, paint thinners, or dry-cleaning fluids
- Aerosols: spray deodorants, insect repellent, hair spray, or cooking oil sprays
- Gases: most typically nitrous oxide, which can be obtained through dental supply stores or via empty whipped cream canisters, but also includes propane tanks, lighters, and refrigerator canisters
- Nitrites: isoamyl nitrite, isobutyl nitrite, or cyclohexyl nitrite, typically used for medical procedures or to treat chest pains
How Are Inhalants Abused?
Inhalant abuse is often referred to as huffing, because inhalants are breathed into the lungs either by spraying them into the nose, or by soaking a piece of cloth and holding the cloth up to the face. Other methods for abusing inhalantsinclude:
- Sniffing or snorting, in which fumes are inhaled directly from the container
- Bagging, in which the inhalant is soaked into a bag, then the fumes are inhaled
- Spraying, typically for aerosols, in which the inhalant is sprayed directly into the nose or mouth
- Inhaling, which involves putting the inhalant into a balloon, then inhaling the substance through the mouth out of the balloon
The euphoric "high" from inhalants typically lasts 15-30 minutes.
Signs of Inhalant Abuse
Most inhalants are central nervous system depressants, or CNS depressants, so signs of an inhalant "high" are similar to alcohol or opioid intoxication. However, nitrites are stimulants, and can cause hallucinations or excitement similar to signs seen with cocaine intoxication.
Typical signs of inhalant abuse include:
- Paint or chemical smell on clothing, skin, or breath
- Stains from paints, solvents, or other chemicals on the hands or face
- Slurred speech
- Acting drunk or disoriented
- Loss of inhibition or motor coordination
- Exhausted or fatigued for several hours without cause
- Lightheadedness
- Drowsiness or nodding off during conversation
- Wheezing
- Nausea or vomiting
- "Glue sniffer's rash," found around the nose or mouth
- Hiding paraphernalia like used rags, tissues, bags, and empty cans
Withdrawal from Inhalants
Like any other addictive substance, inhalants can lead to withdrawal symptoms if a person stops abusing them after periods of chronic use. These symptoms include:
- Rapid pulse
- Panic, anxiety, and mood swings
- Sweating
- Shaking or tremors
- Nausea or vomiting
- Physical and emotional agitation
- Hallucinations
- Grand mal seizures (falling down, convulsions, loss of consciousness, loss of bowel and bladder control)
Medical care should be sought to ensure the person's safety during the withdrawal process.
Dangers of Abusing Inhalants
The biggest danger of using or abusing inhalants is death. Sniffing or huffing toxic chemicals like glue or paint thinners can lead to death the first time the chemical is used, or the individual can die from complications years later. People who abuse inhalants can suffer heart failure due to tissue death or overstimulation of the muscle, or they can suffocate because inhalants are absorbed in the lungs faster than oxygen and end up displacing oxygen. Sudden heart failure due to inhalant abuse is known as sudden sniffing death syndrome, and it can occur with first-time use.Once inhalants have built up in the brain, breathing, heart function, and other vital bodily functions can cease, leading to coma or death. Brain damage from the buildup of toxic substances can severely reduce quality of life and lead to early death as well.
Short-term dangers of inhalant abuseinclude:
- Emotional changes, such as aggression, belligerence, apathy, depression, or irritability
- Delirium
- Impaired judgment or function in social groups
- Lethargy
- Muscle weakness
- Stupor
Long-term effects of inhalant abuse can include:
- Vision or hearing loss
- Heart problems including fluid buildup, heart rhythm changes, or irregular heartbeat
- Brain damage
- Kidney or liver damage and failure
- Oxygen depletion, and inability to reabsorb oxygen
- Bone marrow damage
Because many people begin abusing inhalants at a young age, people struggling with inhalant addiction are more likely to drop out of school compared to those who do not abuse inhalants. Many children and teenagers who begin to abuse inhalants are also likely to try or become addicted to other drugs later in life, like tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, and opioid drugs.
Comprehensive Treatment
Although there are few centers in the United States that specialize in treating inhalant abuse or addiction, most addiction treatment programs can address inhalant abuse and addiction issues. Inpatient rehabilitation can be ideal for people who suffer from inhalant addiction, since medical help for withdrawal symptoms is available, along with individual and group therapy.One of the long-term effects of inhalant abuse includes psychosis. This can be triggered in people who already have a psychological or genetic inclination toward developing psychiatric problems. It's important that any chosen treatment program is equipped to treat this mental health condition, as well as any co-occurring medical or mental health issues that may be present in the individual seeking care. The program should have a supervising physician on staff to prescribe medications as needed.
While medications can be useful in treatment, they should be used alongside talk therapy and other complementary therapies, ensuring comprehensive treatment for the person in need. Therapy can help the individual discover underlying psychological reasons for the addictive behaviors, and learn new methods for dealing with life stresses, as well as future cravings for inhalants or other drugs.Inhalant abuse is a serious but unreported problem in the US that particularly affects children and teenagers. Because of the toxic dangers of many inhalants, it is important for people who struggle with abuse of these substances to seek help as soon as possible. Parents can keep an eye out for signs of inhalant abuse in their children, so they can seek professional help as soon as possible if needed.

I'm a hybrid author, having dabbled in both traditional and indie publishing realms. I've been writing for over twenty-five years. From the tender age of nine, I knew I wanted to be a novelist. I spent most of my life trying to fulfill that dream. I began publishing in 2010, and was fortunate enough to be discovered when a publishing company picked up and released my first historical romance novel, Upon Your Return (book one of the Heiresses in Love Series), in February of 2013. By June of 2019, I was looking for a new home for UYR, as I just got the rights back from my former publisher. In January of 2020, I signed a contract with Foundations Books for the book's second edition release. The release date is scheduled for November 23, 2020. 😉 Foundations is also eager to take on the rest of the book series…
The sequel to Upon Your Return, Upon Your Honor, was released in April of 2014 through Solstice Publishing. Now the rights have been handed back to me, and it's contracted through my new publisher. I also have a lighthearted contemporary romantic fantasy, Magick & Moonlight, which released in March of 2014. The second edition came out in April of 2020.
Second Nature, a paranormal romance/urban fantasy and book one of the Blood at First Sight Series, was released in December of 2014 through Solstice Shadows. A children's fantasy titled A Little Magick, book two of the Magick Series, was released in July of 2015. A contemporary romance, Second Chance Heart, was released in October of 2015. Blue Vision, a science fiction romance and book one of the Code of Endhivar Series, was released in November of 2016. The second edition came out in December of 2019.
In February of 2017, Upon Your Love, book three of the Heiresses in Love Series, was released, along with The Missing Piece, a short new adult romance. The final book of the Heiresses trilogy is currently out of production, as is the boxed set, and my new publisher plans to take that on as well. The second edition of The Missing Piece was released in February of 2020. In July of 2017, Directions of the Heart, a modern romantic drama collection, was released. Blood Instincts, a futuristic paranormal romance/urban fantasy and book two of the Blood at First Sight Series, came out in May of 2018. Additionally, Chasing Ginger, a romantic comedy and book one of The Misfits Series, was released on March 10, 2020. I'm also tackling a romantic mystery collection titled First Target; as well as several other collections and series projects, which I'll release in the future.
I have published 21 books under various pen names: Marie Lavender, Erica Sutherhome, Kathryn Layne and Heather Crouse. I plan to relaunch them all under the same author name. In the past, two of my short stories were published in a private university publication.
Lesser Known Facts About Me:
I love gel pens!
My favorite color is hot pink.
I adore beautiful landscapes, and colorful flowers, so if you tag me in such a pic on social media, you'll have my eternal gratitude. 😉
My idea of relaxation is curling up on the couch or in bed with a good book – preferably the hotties from J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood, or the awesome Merit from Chloe Neill's Chicagoland Vampires series. In lieu of that option, I'm good with drooling over Jamie from the Outlander TV show too. **Fans herself** Always on the lookout for a new hero, or even a kick-ass heroine to fall in love with as a reader! ♥ However, my TBR pile is crazy long!
I'd love to have a house on the beach one day. With the white noise of the ocean in the background, maybe I'd get more writing done. LOL.
My sense of humor tends to lean toward sarcasm.
I have published in the following genres: historical romance, contemporary romance, paranormal romance, romantic comedy, fantasy, romantic suspense, mystery/thriller, science fiction, dramatic fiction, literary fiction and poetry. If you check out the PROJECTS AND WRITING section of this website, you can see I don't really keep to one genre or subgenre. You'll see comedies, historical tales, paranormal, sci-fi, dystopian and time travel stories, as well as general romance. Crossing genres is not unheard of for me. For more updates about my writing and my books, you can visit the UPDATES/NEWS section on this site, where you'll find interviews, guest posts and other features, or simply subscribe to my blogs at http://marielavenderbooks.blogspot.com/ and http://iloveromanceblog.wordpress.com/ (we celebrate romance in all its forms).

Featured Book Released on March 10th!
Chasing Ginger (genre: steamy romantic comedy/BBW/curvy romance/billionaire romance)
Chased by a group of angry men. Saved by quite a hunk.
This is not the résumé Ginger Halloway ever imagined having. But thanks to a miracle pill, which makes her size 22 body instantly sexy, that's what happened.
Yet, now Lance Franklin is showing interest in her, and she can't figure out if he really likes her for her, or if it's just because of a bizarre drug.
And her wild bunch of friends, The Misfits…well, they're always getting her into some interesting situations.
So, yep, business as usual. Except for the guy. What the hell should she do about him?
As for Lance, he believes he's lucky to have found Ginger. But can he convince her they should go for it?
With some new attention from the hottest guy she's ever met, Ginger can't help but wonder…is this all too good to be true?
(CONTENT WARNING: Watch for foul language, steamy scenes, and a pesky yet messy ability to choke on your dinner while laughing. If you've come expecting just a lighthearted, slapstick romance, you may not get that here. The author approaches sensitive topics in the best way she knows how. Just be prepared for all the feels to be deeper than usual for this genre – an emotional romantic comedy. No unruly cliffhangers, HEA guaranteed.)
