For all things Survivor! Updates on cast, charities, episode recaps and more!
Saturday, September 18, 2010
Now we start!
It's finally here!! The much anticipated 21st installment of Survivor..Survivor Nicaragua aka Old vs Young. Being I am over 40 myself and can hang with the best of the younguns, I kind of have a bit of an issue being termed ancient or old. But it's all in good fun. I do believe that the more "wiser" tribe will definitely give the younguns a run for their money yet! Don't count us over 40s out yall!
This season I have instituted new changes and a fun. fresh approach! Being a die hard fan I would like to recognize in this blog other die hard fans that often do not get recognized for their enthusiasm and love for the show. I am selecting each week one) under 30 fan and one) over 40 fan until season's end and will spotlight those in my blogs weekly. I also will select a music video weekly that I feel sets the tone of the episode. The one I selected first has an upbeat mood and it also speaks of just falling in love again, which many of us fans are..with the show!
I also plan to instead of analyzing each segment of the show, instead will select players that stand out to me each episode. I will analyze them from a social, strategical and competitive edge. I also will analyze them from a fan viewpoint also. Lots of changes, a new look and a new season!!!
Holly Hoffman
Fan Point Of View:
As a fan watching the show I tend to try to find someone I feel I can relate to as well as be entertained by. Holly Hoffman fits those things easily. She is down to earth and is someone I feel I can go out and have coffee with. She also to me looks like someone who has a sense of humor and also has a competitive edge as well to her. From a gamer standpoint, Holly is one of few I noted actually playing the game early.
She was shown making an alliance early. She was shown discussing strategy with Jimmy Johnson. Then in a group huddle with Marty, Jill and Yve. From a fan viewpoint she shows me she has the intensity to compete and compete hard. She shows me she has a great social game also. As a fan of the show I give her four thumbs up!
As stated earlier, Holly Hoffman came ready to play the game. She approached an early alliance with Wendy Jo, which turns out to be a quick decision based on her gut impression of Wendy Jo.
Later in the game things did change. Holly was smart enough to adapt to the changes and reconsidered her options. She approaches Jimmy Johnson asking his thoughts and then later approaches Yve, Marty and Jill and gets their thoughts also.
This early in the game, not fully knowing where everyone is at in the game; people often have to rely on their gut impression of what is best for their game and for the benefit of the tribe in making voting decisions. Holly uses her gut in making strategical decisions. Once she realized her decision to stay in her alliance was not for the best for her own game and the tribe, she stuck with the tribe and voted her early alliance out. It's early still and not much to go on yet but I do feel Holly Hoffman does have a sound strategical game. I also feel she will surprise everyone in the coming episodes.
I also noted in first impressions that Holly Hoffman is also someone who will pay attention to things and size all situations up. For a strategical player in Survivor these are characteristics that will strengthen your strategical game. Holly's no dumb blonde! I think she does have savvy!
Holly Hoffman showed to me a strong competitive spirit. In the one challenge she kept up with NaOnka in the water part and finished just mere minutes after she did. Holly also shows me she WANTS to win and will work hard for that win and give it her all!
Holly Hoffman has a very kind and friendly personality and it shows in her social game. She is very people oriented and is shown socializing with each player. Her down to earth approach to the game will take her far!
Marty Piombo:
Fan Viewpoint: Off the bat I was very impressed with Marty. He showed me all the factors I look for in a player: intensity, fun and strategical ability. I instantly warmed up to Marty by watching his interactions on the beach in the beginning. I also liked how he sized the situation with Jimmy Johnson up also. He appears to be there to play and will play the game subtle yet strong. I would play similar so having watched his entry into the game. I can say I am going to be supporting Marty most likely during the season. I like him!
Strategical: Marty was shown using strategical thinking right off the bat. He sized Jimmy Johnson up and said I don't wanna have this guy near me as he could hurt my game simply because he is such a celebrity. The star power factor. He discussed it with Dan Lembo and also Jimmy T. He also did it from a subtle approach. Not saying hey we gotta get him out, but just subtly planting seeds of why Jimmy should be watched.
He also is seen strategizing with other groups and getting their impressions of the game and the tribe. He doesn't seem to have a set alliance yet but is searching the lay of the land and keeping himself aware of everyone. Being he is so observant this will work well for him in the game. Plus he appears to be thinking steps ahead as well. Marty to me is a thinker.
Competitiveness: Gotta go with my gut. I sense Marty is highly competitive. The way he appeared on the beach early speaking of competing and the energy he put into the challenge shows me he is not one to back down from a challenge. Plus he also is a scrapper I sense. He won't go down without a fight!
Social: Marty is talking to EVERYBODY! He was introducing himself on the beach and he also talked to Wendy, he is seen on the perimeter of groups. Plus he appears very friendly and sociable. I believe Marty will possess a very good social game.
Brenda Lowe:
From a Fan Viewpoint:
I like Brenda! Plus yep gotta love her name too! She is also a Florida gal like myself so she can't be all that bad! I connected to her zest she showed getting the Medallion of Power. The way she summed up the reason she would use it if she had it. Plus she appears to play the game the way I myself would play it. In fact I played a similar game on Survivor Myspace 8. The name Brenda in German means "sword" and I see Brenda as being a player who will cut her way through the game. Not in a bad sense, but a good way. She will claim victims.
Brenda is SMART! The one thing that stood out to me was when Chase approached her and gave her game info of his alliance with Shannon. Brenda entertained thoughts but also says I will keep this info in check and use it to my advantage later on when needed. She is wily. She will use her beauty to her advantage. Plus she is a thinker. Strategically I peg her as being sound.
Brenda right off the bat obtained the Medallion of Power and climbed like a monkey to get it before anyone could. During the challenge I sensed the same ferocity and fire in Brenda. I think she is a tough competitor and play st the game competitively as hard as she plays the game. She will prove to be a forceful contender.
Social: Brenda will use whatever she has to her advantage including her beauty and her social capabilities. She is seen talking to various cast throughout the show including the convo with Chase. I do see a strong social game already.
Shannon Elkins:
From a Fan Viewpoint: I like Shannon! He appears to be a straight shooter. I appreciate the people who are like that in the show and from a fan viewpoint, he is very entertaining to watch!
Strategical: Shannon like Holly made an early alliance with Chase Rice. Whether this will last is early still. Chase appears to be loyal to Shannon as he did not want to add others yet to their pact. But the fact that he is doing this early shows me early strategy. he reminds me a bit of Boo Bernis from Fiji. Boo made it pretty far that season so I am hoping Shannon too will go far this season.
Competitiveness: I sense a competitive spirit and drive in Shannon. In camp life, in the game. Plus during the challenge he showed a high level of intensity.
Social: Shannon is a very social player. He had numerous interactions with the cast. His interactions with Fabio aka Jud. They were seen kidding around together at camp. His interactions with Chase early and on the beach in the opening scene. Shannon, like Holly, sizes up each situation well and makes his decisions based on his gut. He has a lively personality and is outgoing and funny. He should have a pretty solid social game.
Medallion of Power:
There was a new twist introduced this season and that being the Medallion of Power. Whoever possesses it has an advantage at challenges. If they choose to use it, the opposing tribe then gets a chance to possess it.
Initially Brenda found the Medallion but chose to give it to the Over 40 Tribe for a reward of survival gear. Personally I agree with NaOnka. If u got power u hold on to it. Which is why I agreed with the Over 40 tribe's keeping the advantage. I like the idea but don't like the idea of switching hands if used. I feel it should stay with whomever possesses it.
Wendy's Exit:
Wendy's downfall in short is she was not only weak but showed herself non sociable. She herself admitted she worked more than socialize which is a two edged sword. Workers are needed in camp but it should never keep u from having a social impact as well. Marty felt she was weird. Plus at Tribal she chattered and chattered and chattered. It was to me, very annoying as she appeared to come unglued. She seemed in her speech to be off center at times. I think if she would not have made the chattery faux pas at Tribal, it would have been a tougher decision.

wow! thanks brenda! i hate that picture of me though! but thanks for thanks for the shoutout!ReplyDelete
i love Brenda!ReplyDelete
i think the young tribe is gonna OWN this season! i would not be the least bit surprised if it was a Palau repeat. & based on what was shown in the first episode i'm thinking Brenda will be around a LONG time! (I've also noticed her & Chase writing on each other's wall on FB - which is a good indication their alliance stayed strong) She'll be final 2. no doubt in my mind. unless immunity ends up in the wrong hands around final 4/5.. she's golden.
I agree that Holly and Marty are going to be really good. Marty is my favorite so far just because he seems like he had a presence. I think it's only a matter of time before he is running the 40 older tribe. If he senses Holly is a threat, and she is, he'll get enough votes to get her out. Don't really have an opinion on Shannon yet but I think he could be in trouble if people get more of a sense of his personality. Don't like Brenda just for the fact that she wants to be the next Parvati. Parvati can't be replaced, plus Parvati is better looking. Two things I don't like the medallion of power and the hidden immunity idol clue. Just think the MOP is to far of a stretch that isn't needed. And the clue didn't require any smarts or wasn't earned. The two girls were lucky they were the two to walk over there. Bring back Exile island or at least make it so it's found after a reward challenge.ReplyDelete

I like Holly shes cool.One thing i dont like is the medallion of power.i think its dumb that if it gets played it gives the tribe an advantage but after the challenge is over its given to the other tribe.i also agree about the Idols.They should bring back Exile Island and make it more difficult for them to find the Idols.I also like Kelly Bruno the girl with the one leg.I just hope she doesnt get voted out because of that because that would be dumb.I like Brenda and Kelly Shinn too.Heck i like all the players on there this season.ReplyDelete
Great blog, Bren!ReplyDelete
I'm with Larry, I like them all! :)
Good job Brenda....havent read your blog before so I'm not sure what changes you made but it couldn't get much better than this...I don't chat much about Survivor in season cause I know a lot of whats going to happen the next show....but I will try to comment each week and not spoil it for anybody reading. I will send you a great link for pics....RogerReplyDelete
Good job Brenda. I don't like the MOP, I think it is a silly extra to the show, especially that it gets transferred between each tribe.ReplyDelete
Chase proved to me how far he's going this season and judging by the way he told Brenda all about his Alliances with Shannon, well I don't believe he'll go far unless he turns it around and realises. Jud makes me laugh, not for the right reasons either, Shanon's description of him so far is very accurate, it was a miracle him and that machete was not added to his list of injuries.
On the older tribe, which unfortunately Brenda, is how they are going to be labelled for the moment I too was impressed with Holly. She seemed to be the only one out there in the game mode and was probably the stand out player of episode one. I like Yve, I hope she goes far as well as Holly and Marty from the older tribes and Shannon, Brenda and Alina. I think the latter is going to surprise some this season.
I guess a lot of castaways go in to the game and not reveal themselves at the start, Wendy was such a example, but the No Blisters speech at the end convinced everyone was obviously her downfall and I imagine no one would be more pleased that Jimmy J. watching this woman self destruct.
But Brenda, it was a great blog, I like the way you highlight players, that is a good bonus. Look forward to next week.
Brenda, you are one smart blogger, Darlin'!!!! I love reading and I love posting (and arguing) on your FB pages as well! Great job, girl! xoxoReplyDelete

Great blog Bren! You going to use me as the under 30 fan sometime this season? That would be very, very cool! I will read your blogs each week. Keep em coming!ReplyDelete
Hey Brenda! I was so happy to see this blog of yours! I am wondering how many of us can form an opinion of any member of this Survivor group so early. However ... I was intrigued by four cast aways. Only one youngster and that is Chase. Don't know why, I just liked him. The other three were on the older group (naturally). I found Tyron very entertaining! His facial expressions were wonderful and funny and I just liked him. I liked Marty (again - naturally) and I liked the woman with the short red hair (she is a doctor)-I believe her name is Jill. I will know for sure who she is by next Friday! The others really didn't catch my eye for major contenders. I tried really hard not to read anything about anyone prior to Wednesday night so I wouldn't know anything, except of course Jimmy Johnson - I DO live in Texas! In my opinion, right now, it is anyone's game and I am just going to sit back and go along for the ride. For me, it is just to early. But I did come up with 4 people I am going to be keeping my eyes on.ReplyDelete
Well tonight was interesting. I never thought in a million years that Holly would have a breakdown like she did. I never thought anyone would buy $1600 shoes!!! But that is not the most interesting part.ReplyDelete
Those youngsters really don't have a clue. "Fabio" who is not so stupid (I can't believe someone called him "dummy") I feel what did Shannon in was asking Sash if he was gay during the coucil. Right then and there, I saw eyes rolling and I knew that Shannon was going home. To bad ... he looked pretty strong, but I think his need to be in control was way to overwhelming for him. Bye bye Shannon!

A new study has found that eating a little bit of chocolate could actually lower your total fat count - especially that fat on your belly.
The study looked at adolescents and found that those that ate more chocolate were more likely to have a lower body mass index. Chocolate may also improve cardiovascular issues for some people.
The study did not specify which types of chocolate were more beneficial than others.

When mineral makeup first arrived on the scene, many said that it was a passing fad, believing that a foundation in powder form could never match the effects possible with liquid varieties.

The results are completely natural, 100% pure, long-lasting and good for your complexion, making them incredibly remarkable in the world of cosmetics.
International Customers - bareMinerals cannot be shipped outside the U.S.

bareMinerals Customer ReviewsSmooth and Effective - 9/21/2014 9:40:49 AM This brush blends Bare Skin evenly and well. The bristles are quite soft and feel nice sweeping across your face. Coverage is even and thorough.Love this cleanser - 9/17/2014 8:42:17 PM I've used this product for about 7 years and I love it. I'm in my 50's and have sensitive skin that is prone to breakouts this has the gentle exfoliation that my skin needs and doesn't irritate.Nice Foundation - 8/15/2014 6:19:25 AM I really like this foundation. I apply it with a facial sponge, because I purchased it from another store with the brush, and the brush left about 25 black bristles all over my face. I control my coverage with this foundation; I can go very light or heavier to cover my facial scar. I reviewed the color match info on Bare Essentuals web site and my color match is perfect. I actually applied this foundation to one side of my face and another expensive leading minerals foundation to the other. I thought the Bare Minerals won, but I asked a few family members, and everyone picked the Bare Minerals foundation. I have very sensitive skin, and have had no problem wearing this foundation, plus the ingredients are good for your skin. The price is very reasonable.Excellent BB cream - buildable coverage - 7/29/2014 4:25:42 PM This is by far the easiest and best bb cream I have used. I am 55 still slight oily nose but dry and lines around mouth. This bb cream tackles both! You can control how much coverage you want, very light, or apply more all over for more coverage or just where needed. Completely covers all my pores and old acne scars. Feels like you are wearing nothing! Gives soft dewy look or apply powder for mat. Great SPF, easy squirt bottle, nothing more I can say other than try it! Love all baremineral products - excellent ingredients and excellent performancegood product - 7/26/2014 9:52:15 AM I am not a foundation wearer. I have always had relatively nice skin and prefer a natural look. I now am suffering from a bit of adult acne and starting to notice some sun damage and wanted something to even out my skin tone and cover blemishes when needed. I tried a few products with no luck, but i really love this foundation. It is true that the coverage is light, so if you are looking for full coverage this isn't for you. I also love the brush application, it makes it so easy for makeup dummies like me. I wouldn't recommend using this without the brush, i think its the key to getting it even, also shaking before application is important.Amazingly light, easy to use foundation - 7/9/2014 3:55:41 PM I hate feeling like I have this thick coating of foundation on my face. This goes on light but is very effective and it is easy to apply with the special brush. I feel like my skin can breath with this foundation.Love it - 7/5/2014 9:21:45 PM Absolutely loved this foundation. Goes on very smooth and gives an incredibly natural finish with very good coverage. My new favoriteOk product - 6/22/2014 12:58:05 PM Although I can tell a little tightness in my neck I will not buy it again due to its awful smell.A Waste of Money - 6/20/2014 1:15:40 PM I bought the fairly light shade of the foundation and instead of it appearing slightly terra-cotta-ish it looks positively yellow. It's very unflattering on my skin. Also, it tends to crease on parts of my face so I would not consider this a good product for anyone with very dry skin. No instructions on using the product were included so no way to tell if I could improve the results. A complete waste of the money spent.Great duo - 6/1/2014 4:02:24 AM Nice size for traveling or going out and great colors.

I only had to wait 2 hours last night, which was good. Luckily my aunt was taken to the "good" jail. At the county facility they won't let people out as quickly.
And I took the job thing well because I was sick of them anyway. DH has even told me to quit because they were getting on my nerves so much. I still haven't received my separation letter. I asked for a severence package so I am sure that is the reason for the hold up. I didn't ask for much though, only 3 months pay. Last time they fired a bunch of people they gave those employees 6-12 months. My former boss got 2 years pay and 6 months full benefits package, so I feel I was generous. I rarely get upsets over jobs though. I have worked from home doing things often and I can just do that if I want to and I know a lot of people who have asked me to come work for them. So losing jobs really isn't a huge deal. Luckily, DH also makes enough money to float us along as we have less expenses now than we did when I was a SAHM since we got our assessed value on the house lowered. Our mortgage is really low and we only have electric and water bills so I don't really worry about money since we live really cheaply anyway. I try to have us live off of only $30K per year and it is doable because of our low housing expenses.
Chrissy, good luck on the job interview!!! keeping my fingers crossed for you.
Suja, I hope Khan is on the mend and am happy he is getting good care.
That reminds me as well that our dog was cleared from heartworms. So his treatment was successful. The vet talked DH into giving him Heartguard Plus, which I am wary of since he was on the regular Heartguard before. I may switch it sooner then the 6 month period is up. They did reimburse us for the treatment though and lucky for them, our vet is pretty cheap so it was only about $900. I have heard that it can cost up to $2K for heartworm treatment.

FERNDALE, Mich. (WJBK) -- Voters in Ferndale have a chance to give some legal protection to users of small amounts of marijuana.Ferndale would ignore possession of an ounce or less of marijuana on private property. People must be at least 21 years old. The question is on the ballot Tuesday.But even if voters approve, it still wouldn't offer complete protection. State law still bars marijuana use and possession unless it's medical marijuana.
"Whether it wins or loses, it's not going to work in Ferndale," said Mayor Dave Coulter. "This is largely a symbolic ordinance. You can't really change the state drug laws a the local level. I think this was an effort by folks in town to try to send a message, both to Lansing and Washington, that they'd like to see the drug laws change.""(People) will come to Ferndale thinking pot is legal and they'll find out otherwise that it's not because state laws prevail," said resident Dave Cottrill. "I think it will be really confusing and not beneficial to Ferndale."Voters will decide the same legal protection in Jackson and Lansing as well.In 2012, Grand Rapids voters chose to make possession of small amounts of marijuana a civil violation instead of a misdemeanor crime.- The Associated Press contributed to this report

Mrs. Fields® was determined to create cookies and brownies
that were "lusciously soft," as if they'd just come out of the oven . . . that's why our cookies and brownies are so irresistible. We'll send a wicker basket of our most popular flavors.
**Due to our dough mixing process, all of our products may have come in contact with nut oils.
- Cookies taste best when eaten the same day they are received.
- Brownies are best when refrigerated or frozen.
- Some tips if you have to save some cookies for later: never refrigerate - they dry out, store in an airtight container with a piece of white bread, may be frozen in an airtight bag.
- Thawed cookies can be warmed in the microwave for up to 10 seconds or a 375 degree oven for 1-2 minutes.
- Frozen cookies can be warmed in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or a 375 degree oven for 1-3 minutes.

Amazing(03/09/2013)My mother passed away unexpectedly this week and a family friend sent this basket...my dad, brother and I couldn't stop talking about how delicious, soft and moist these treats were several days in. A great comfort food during a tough week.
Basket of Delish(01/26/2010)We received this basket when our grandmother passed and I can't tell you how much everyone loved it. It was beautifully packaged and the contents were individually wrapped and every item was amazingly delicious.
Excellent(03/06/2009)I received this basket from a friend when my father passed away. It is packaged beautifully and comes in a pretty wicker basket with a large satin ribbon. The cookies are packaged 2 in a pack. Both the cookies and brownies are awesome

Vitamin C's Other Benefits
By Catherine Guthrie
My mother puts a lot of stock in vitamin C. She keeps a bottle of the chewable variety in her kitchen drawer—not the junk drawer with its litter of take-out menus and thumbtacks, but the high-traffic silverware one. As long as I can remember, she'd press a grainy wafer into my palm at the first sign of a sniffle or sneeze.
But lately I've wondered if she hasn't been hoodwinked. The last few years of research have introduced many questions about the old nutritional standby. Which form is best: powder or liquid? Tablet or capsule? Ester-C or ascorbyl palmitate? Confusion has also erupted over how much we should take; at various times, daily recommendations have ranged from 60 milligrams to 18,000. Experts have even conceded that vitamin C does diddly to stave off colds. Sure, high doses of the vitamin may shave one miserable day off any given bout, but that's cold comfort if you're banking on a way to avoid the sniffles altogether.
Through it all Mom has stayed the course, calmly munching her daily C tablet. She isn't going to let a bunch of naysayer scientists derail her convictions, she says. And now it looks like she might really be on to something. New studies suggest vitamin C may ward off heart disease and cataracts, as well as certain cancers. Plus, there's interesting news on how much is needed and how best to get it. (As Mom intuited, diet may not be enough.) Read on; then start making room in your silverware drawer.
Protect Your Heart
Evidence for vitamin C's power to thwart heart disease comes from the Nurses' Health Study at Harvard University, where researchers followed the diets of more than 85,000 women for 16 years. They found that women who took in the most vitamin C were 27 percent less likely to suffer a heart attack or die from heart disease than those who consumed the least.
The kicker was that those who got their C from food alone didn't reap the benefits. "Even women who were getting more than three times the RDA from the foods they ate weren't protected," says Jane Higdon, a nutritionist at the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University, in Corvallis, and author of An Evidence-Based Approach to Vitamins and Minerals.
Exactly how much C do we need to protect our hearts, and what portion of that should come from a pill? Although the RDA was bumped up three years ago, many experts believe it's still too low: At 90 milligrams a day for men and 75 for women, you won't get scurvy, but you won't get C's other perks, either. The body needs at least 400 mg a day in order for the vitamin to saturate tissue and plasma and exert a positive effect. Indeed, most studies trumpeting vitamin C's benefits rely on doses up to six times higher than the RDA.
The problem is that even if you down your five or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day, you're still likely to get less than the optimal daily dose. C-fortified juices can help, but to be on the safe side, many experts recommend filling t...

April 26th is Annual Car Seat Collection Day throughout Wisconsin. This is your opportunity to drop off old car seats free of charge. Seats older than 6 years old, purchased at garage sales or thrift store, involved in a crash, or recalled seats should all be dismantled and disposed of properly.
Car seats that are disposed of must be dismantled to discourage use by anyone else. The cloth cover should be removed, harness straps should be cut, and the latch straps should also be cut.
All car seats expire 6 years after the manufacture date. You can find the expiration date printed on the car seat, or you can find the manufacture date on the manufacturer's label. The plastic breaks down over time so after 6 years the seat does not hold up in a crash. Bases need to be disposed of as well.
Car seats purchased second hand are dangerous because the history of the car seat is unknown and may have been involved in a crash or recalled.
The following also are good seats to bring to the event:
- Seats that have been recalled.
- Seats that have broken or missing parts.
- Unwanted seats.
In our area you can drop off your car seats at the following locations on April 26th:
Portage County
Stevens Point Fire Department
1701 Franklin St., Stevens Point, WI
9 a.m. - noon
Wausau Area
Schofield Fire Department
1325 Schofield Ave., Schofileld, WI
9 a.m. - noon
Wood County
Marshfield Fire and Rescue*
514 E 4th St, Marshfield, WI
9 a.m. - noon
*seats can be dropped off starting April 21st at the fire department.
Note from Safekidswi.org:
*Most communities will have the ability to recycle many of the materials from the car seats on the event day only. Resources vary by community and some will not be able to recycle, but will take the proper steps to remove seats from circulation.
Safe Kids Wisconsin's goal is to keep old, expired, or damaged seats from being re-used. If you are looking to get rid old seats outside the annual event or in an area that is not participating, you may dismantle the seat as much as possible before putting it in the trash. Be sure to cut the harness out of the seat, along with the buckle strap. The fabric cover also should be removed and anything else that will help deter from re-use.

I only ask about sleep with people I know really well. If the baby is sleeping well, the response is 'That's wonderful!'. If not, assurances that it won't be that way forever. That's pretty much it. I do not give advice on parenting unless asked.
I only ask about sleep with people I know really well. If the baby is sleeping well, the response is 'That's wonderful!'. If not, assurances that it won't be that way forever. That's pretty much it. I do not give advice on parenting unless asked.
I don't ask, but if people offer up the information and they say their baby is not sleeping well, I might mention the no cry sleep solution books and move on. If they say their baby is sleeping well, I will say "that's great!" and tell a couple horror stories about Josh's sleep patterns. Just to keep them on their toes. ;)
Myles, I have that issue too! Lately I've even been asking him to repeat what I say. He'll repeat it correctly and then go do something different from what I said!
What I especially love is when he throws my words back at me. He was saying something to me and I didn't understand him so I said "What?" He said "I am not going to repeat myself again!"
Things are a little crazy, but I'm loving every minute of it My Blog
L, I hope that you get some help. Sending big hugs your way.
Kate, I was going to suggest asking Josh, "Is it a big problem or a little problem?" That's actually one of the strategies recommended by the same clinic that publishes the book I recommended to Bridget that she is enjoying. Just like Suja said, having him learn to identify the difference will help him regulate his emotions on his own. And it comes across so much more neutral as a question. Instead of you telling him that's not a big deal, you are asking him to tell you.
Seriously, folks. SO much comes down to kids having access to communicate their feelings. Kids and spouses. And employees. Pretty much sums it all up.
And I agree, start with the dog ... It's faster!
Bridget, that sucks about your MIL.
Rachael, so sorry people are being so judgy. Take care of yourself. You have been through a lot and please make sure you are doing okay.
For me, the good thing about today was that I got to see so many of my coworkers defend me and praise me to the skies. We don't always see us as others see us. It was nice to hear them come to my defense. Won't make a bit of difference, but nice all the same.
According to G, the administrator in question doesn't like our department. Eliminating us completely was apparently a serious option on the table. I suspect getting rid of me is in a sense a compromise for her, despite the fact that my position will not be cut. As long as 14 years ago, this particular admin was reported to have said that we give "Cadillac services." That's right, folks, we are TOO GOOD. And that can't be allowed to continue.

Competence must be punished. That makes sense.
I am just stunned. And appalled, Mandy! How can they be so ignorant? No wonder our education system suffers the way it does. Makes me want to scream and throw things.
If I didn't already believe our education system was broken, this seals the deal for me. Truly.

Add to the list of things I never thought I would say to my dog: "Please stop licking my butt."
Yup. Said it.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Well...he started licking my butt. And it was disturbing. Very disturbing.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Oh Mandy....that is just insane. The sad thing is that in some places, the system is still pretty decent....course that tends to be the places that need it the least.
Oh I have said many a funny things to Molly. Get out of my underwear ..because of course it's a fun game to get tangled up when mom is going potty. That goes along with Don't lick my underwear. Or Molly stop humping your sister's head.
Daily I tell her get your head out of the garbage....because of course we must stick our head in the bathroom garbage....not take anything out though. Get out of the dishwasher....dirty dishes are irresistible. You know I'm seeing a pattern that most of her "issues" involve her beagle nose. LOL I cannot complain too much because she makes us laugh and for only being 1.5 is awfully chill and laid back most of the time. She went from trying to bite me all the time to being a snuggle bunny.
L....I have been thinking about you all day today.
B, think of anything to do with your MIL? Having company is rough. I think once we no longer have a guest room, we will probably put guest in our bed if it is my parents. Dh likes his futon anyway and I plan to have a twin bed in the nursery. If it's my sister and her gf, they can take the futon or maybe we will do like my parents since I prefer to sleep alone anyway. DH's mom alone is no biggie as she actually likes the couch. And our guests usually don't stay more than a long weekend....though we tend to have company 5-7 times a year. I expect that might increase with a baby to see.
The kids whose families aren't in a position to insist on a quality education don't have as many of those other advantages, either. And they need it more. Just sad.
ETA: it's definitely the Beagle nose!
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Yeah, we can totally handle a few nights. The thing is for her it's not just a place to sleep. She NEEEEEDS a quiet space. And I am selfishly dreading the job of keeping the kids in check for the next 5 days since she will have nowhere to go to escape them. For example, she has a very difficult time getting a good night's sleep so often isn't able to get up until late morning. I think it was 6:15 this morning that Sawyer was screaming about how cold the wipe I was using (out of the wipe warmer, mind you) and there is no way she'd sleep throught that, or be able to fall back asleep after. Not to mention the 3 kids that get dropped of a 7am. Two of them catch the school bus at 8 but there is just no way I can keep 6 kids quiet for an hour.
I mean, when we are all in the kitchen, if (just my kids) start talking all at once, she will stand at the stove and plug her ears. She will walk out the front door if it gets too loud and come back later saying she is sorry but she just cannot take the noise. If she can't, she can't but oy I am stressed out that she won't even be able to enjoy herself after tonight, the last night next door. Worst part of it all is that it's supposed to be 39 and rain/snow for the rest of the week.

Our district is closing 11 schools this year. 11. That's 20 closed schools in the time I have worked there.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Hi everyone,
I'm doing better today. DH took the day off work. I've been awake since about 2:30 AM, but I got to lounge around in bed for part of the morning, and he took the kids to school and dropped S. off at my mom's house. DH stayed home. When I was left to my own devices, I took a shower without kids (!!!!) and shaved my legs, but then I cleaned the shower and the toilet and the bathroom and got the cobwebs off the ceilings and then dusted the baseboards in the bedroom and started a load of laundry and dishes. DH had me sit down on the couch and watch a couple of shows with him (Nurse Jackie), which were funny and sad at the same time, but made me feel a bit better about my own life.
And then I sat down at the computer and started to try to pay bills and research swimming lessons and work on my blog again, and I couldn't focus even enough to make a decision about who should pick up the kids from school and my moms when he asked, and he pulled me away from doing chores and had me watch some more tv shows and try to enjoy myself instead of doing work. In the end, I didn't do much of anything except the cleaning and a couple of loads of laundry and dishes and a bit of mending, and I watched a bunch of tv, and I felt so relaxed at the end of the day that I really felt almost happy again. I got weepy off and on, but it wasn't the nonstop crying that had been happening over the weekend.
I did talk to my doctor. It was the OB who had prescribed the antidepressants when I had PPD after S. was born. He said he had tried to talk to my primary care doctor about having her prescribe the meds, since it wasn't something that was generally within his scope of practice, but she refused. He wanted to see if I had any ideas about where to go from here. I asked him if he could send a message to my neurologist who sees me for my headaches and recurring meningitis, since I see him more often, and since this is not the first time my primary care doctor has refused to treat me, I was going to switch doctors. And I did. Last night when I was talking to DH about this, I said maybe I should just not do anything about it and see if I could get better on my own. But I could barely get the words out and was choking on my own tears. He said I should start the antidepressants, even if I'm feeling better today, but we need to figure out a way to get some free time for me when I don't feel obligated to do everything.
It is so hard going from being uber-competent all of the time to being unable to make a decision about who is going to pick the kids up from school. And it is also amazing to me at how just one day of being forced to relax (despite being awake since 2:30 AM) has made such a huge difference in my mood. Every time I got up to go do something, DH would say, "Do they really need to start taking swimming lessons tomorrow?" "Is that bill going to be overdue if it's not paid today?" and he would pat the couch next to him and make me a nest of pillows and we started watching another new show (Hell on Wheels) that was really good and it just was so nice to not think about all the things that needed to be done. Even in the afternoon, the school called me and told me that Claire had a head injury and might need to be picked up, and I talked to her and she had an ice pack on her head and she said she wanted to stay in school and she was feeling better, and we were all just cool.
Thanks for thinking of me.
Mandy, that is really strange about what is going on at your job. I hope however it turns out that you will like whatever position you decide to take there. Very strange though that someone has a personal vendetta against a whole department because you all are probably better than her. People are really weird.
On babies STTN, I also think people asking about it is them being nosey nosertons. I cannot remember a time when I asked anyone about that. People did ask me how both my babies slept, especially with Elle as I had more mommy friends when she was a baby but mostly that was after they were speaking of their own babies' horrible sleeping habits and I would just try to tell them it would get better and some babies sleep more than others and that whatever they were lamenting about was more than likely normal behavior but then I'd sometimes feel a little bad because when they asked about Elle, I really didn't have the experience of dealing with a baby who wouldn't sleep. She slept a good 7-8 hours by 2 months old, as did Ky and both were BFd, this question would always come up as Atlanta is a big BF town now and people like to look down on those whose babies STTN due to formula LOL. But I told them no, that she was BFd and so they could use her as proof that BF doesn't equal baby who doesn't STTN like a lot of people think.
And I agree with the previous conversation regarding tantrumy, sensitive kids, that it does get better around 6 or 7. Ky was very tantrum prone. I will admit he is still very serious and sensitive. I, being a blunt person, sometimes do have to think about what I say to him really carefully before I say it as his feelings are hurt easily and his eyes will still well up with tears, something that DH hates especially now that Ky is like 5'2" and 11 years old. He thinks he is being a "crybaby" and will mention it to him sometimes, which will make Ky look like he is crying some more. He actually doesn't fully cry, just the tears will well up and he will look really heartbroken. But he doesn't scream and act a fool anymore like he used to so I can deal with teary eyes no problem and have been trying to get DH to stop thinking it is such a big deal. And if it helps, I am VERY laid back as well and not much bothers me. I don't say offhanded comments about Ky's hurt feelings but I will tell him in a nice way, especially when he is getting cry-y about something that he doesn't want to do, that he needs to deal with it and get over it and he can cry later. Sounds mean, but I do say it in a nice way if you can believe it. And he really is pretty overboard with his sad faces. He does it the most when I check his homework and tell him that he missed some questions or something wasn't as neat as he could make it and to do it over again, or fix a math problem or whatever and he will look like I destroyed his whole world. My aunt cracks me up because she really believed that I was saying something to him other than "fix the math problem" because he looked so heartbroken and "real tears" fall down his face, mostly if I tell him to re-write a paragraph that he didn't do very well. So in more ways than one, kids will retain their personalities IMO and just learn to deal with the world better and not let stuff get to them so much eventually.
Honestly if she cannot handle it, she needs to get herself a hotel room even if it's a crummy only in town hotel room. Otherwise, when you stay at someone else's house, you just deal.
Yeah that beagle nose is something else. Even right now she is just walking around nose to the ground. I mean it's inside the house....our smells shouldn't change that much since we don't wear shoes in the house. And now she is back in the bathroom, probably sniffing the garbage. I have kind of given up on that one since she only brought stuff out from it twice and that was last year. I mean *I* don't think that the garbage smells cool or smells at all but I guess it's cool to her! LOL The worst was the first few weeks home when we were potty training...the walking nose to the ground nearly drove me crazy because I couldn't tell if she had to potty and thought she always had to potty.
I think Chicago was closing something like 50-60 schools. My understanding is that they were very low attendance schools and were combining some of them to save money and offer more at the ones they were keeping open.
I haven't really looked into the schools that much but I think that my city has fairly decent ones. Enough that I plan on sending little dude to public schools and if I find issues as we go along, Dh and I are more than capable of filling in the blanks. Now when we lived in Milwaukee....totally different story. We had talked about homeschooling or if we bought a house to at least get into one of the suburbs. No way would I send my kid to those schools. They weren't great when DH went through them and that was more 20-30 years ago.
I have asked people before if the baby is STTN. Not having one yet, it's just being curious and generally people like to talk about their babies (I'm like that with my dogs....quiet until you ask me something about the dogs and I turn into a blabbermouth). And sleeping is more interesting that the babies diaper habits.
I think you are right, Jennifer, that many schools were only half full but they are only closing down in the low income areas. I heard the story on npr and people were calling in to say that in many of those neighborhoods, the school was the heart of the movements for improvements. Now, these families considered "lower" in socio-economic status are going to be bussed into the higher ses neighborhoods where they will be the outsiders, the kids from the other neighborhood. It's not conducive to proper education or socialization.
Erin, your story about Ky! What a little sensitive heart he has! But I think you are right in that in certain situations they must learn to "suck it up" for lack of better word. I've been being a bit of a hard ass about that since my kids are older. Sometimes things aren't going to go the way we want. Go ahead, be sad, get it out of your system and move on. And like you said, nice about it, but c'mon man!
I have noticed my kai lately it's like he's throwing fake tantrums. I think we've seen too much theater lately! Lol. Today at dinner he asked me for a second piece of bread (I've been letting him try eating gluten again because he basically stopped eating because hates gf stuff) and I said no because we really have to limit it and he was like, FALL out but crying totally fake and throwing himself against the wall saying, "CURSE GLUTEN" and "OHHHH, the HORROR of only one piece of bread!!!"
I said, "Kai, you are not acting in a play right now." That made him laugh so hard. It really hit me that he's probably faking half the time because he is so darn dramatic, it's just nuts. We were playing that game today where you think of a number 1-20 and we guess it while you answer higher or lower. So Kai would have his number and Savana would guess 7.
"NEVAHHHHHH!", he would yell.
And we're like, "Higher or lower, Kai?" and he would say, "So, so, so, so, so, SO much higher."
And it would be 8.

Big hugs, Lydia. I hope you can get to a place where you feel more balanced. It sounds like you are doing so much all the time on no sleep and finally all systems gave out and forced you to take a break. Is there anything in your budget for sitter to come once a week or once every two weeks to take the kids to the park or just SOMETHING so you have some time to be still and quiet? I worry about you. I'm appalled that your doctor refused to prescribe anti-depressants. I hope you can find someone who will help.
Mandy - big hugs to you too. What a drag all around. I'm sorry
Bridget - your neighbor is a selfish witch. Is she the same one who used to come over and demand help at the most inopportune moments? What a terrible thing to do. I don't think I would put up with any butt-kissing when she comes back. Tell her that it inconvenienced everyone terribly and ruined the visit.
As for tantrums, I am skimming those because I don't want to think about it! JoJo has been driving me bonkers with her 0-60 crying like a baby over incredibly silly things. Sick of it.
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
Bridget, that child was born for the stage. I hope you get him some acting lessons. Or a guitar, or something. Seriously.
(Yes, I'm still reading my Pete Townshend book. He was also born to be on the stage. For different reasons).
Erin, poor Ky!
L, I am so glad your DH just took the day to be with you and encourage you to be in the moment. I think it was just what you needed. How sweet of him. Now listen to what he is telling you.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Kai is a hoot lol!!! I would probably egg him on, I am also very dramatic. My Ky sometimes even takes my dramatics seriously when I am being obviously, overtly dramatic. He is WAY too serious for his age IMO. But I do think it is a good thing in a lot of ways. Elle is much more like Kai. She is really good at making a scene and being the center of attention. I remember a drama teacher in college, when I was helping one of his actors with a scene, telling me that I should have been in his theater troupe because I am "prone to dramatics" lol. DH agreed and most people in my family are. Both DH and Ky are way to serious for my tastes a lot. I am glad I have a silly partner in Elle.
Speaking of her she cracked me up this weekend because I got another letter from the zoo asking me to renew my zoo membership. Elle saw the letter and said "Mommy, the zoo is sending you more notices that you need to renew your zoo license." Then she sighed "Oh Mommy, I REALLY want to go to the zoo, PLEASE renew your zoo license so we can experience gorillas." All of this done with her head on her head and moving around like she is in some sort of cheesy old black and white movie. She ended up with her hands clasped together on her chest and so I went ahead and renewed my "zoo license" lol and took her to the zoo on Saturday. She is cracks me up all the time.
And Mandy, I know you are being nice for my sweet Ky but he really does not have it bad. You are reminding me of my aunt, she was just feeling so sorry for him for about 2months then she realized that he is just working himself up over things that really aren't that big of a deal. Sometimes I do think I am not being sensitive enough to his needs, but then again, I know that he doesn't cry whenever his teachers ask him to do something and he never goes through this sensitivity at school. I figure he is just more comfortable with us so can let loose the waterworks with me, but it is only selective heartbreak dealing with chores or homework. The only way it would stop completely is if I let him watch Netflix movies, play with the robot, or be on the computer all day and that is not going to happen. I also think he is just coming into adolescence. I bemoan what I call his "teenagery-isms."

Oh, Erin, I am just sympathizing as I am prone to taking myself too seriously as well. I think you are the perfect mama for him. He needs just the right combination of love and suck-it-uppedness (for lack of a better word) and you definitely deliver.
My sister and brother still do not let me forget the time when I was maybe 7 years old and came to them, teary-eyed, insisting that I didn't know how to make toast so I could get them to do it for me. They just say that one line and then dissolve into hysterical laughter. I'm pretty much stuck laughing, too. It still isn't funny to me, though! I really wanted help!

Oh, and that's probably the reason I have had a sinus infection for 3 months and haven't gone to the doctor. I have not wanted to deal with her.

Hi Everyone! Welcome to the GDS birthday card exchange! This exchange will run for one week!
Here are the details for this exchange:
What the quick page exchange is all about:
Each participant will submit a birthday card that is one of these sizes (in inches): 6x4, 4x6, 5.5x4.25, 4.25x5.5. You can submit up to three cards to exchange and you must use GDS products to create them. Your cards can have one photo spot or can just have a birthday greeting. If your cards have photo spots, please make sure the photo area is transparent (like a quick page). You can also leave a place for someone to put their photo on top if you wish, so you don't have to do any cutting.
All participants will receive download links after the end of the exchange to download all of the cards that have been submitted by all participants. You could easily put in 1-3 cards and get back 20+ cards!
How to create your pages:
* Pages should be created and saved at 300ppi in PNG format (if they have transparent areas) or JPG format (if they do not have transparent areas). If your card has a photo spot, your photo spot should be transparent when you are done. PNG format will retain the transparency. If you need help with this, you can use Andrea Gold's Quick Page Photo cutting styles available HERE.
These styles are non destructive and instantly make a photo into a transparent area.
* If you are having trouble getting the transparent areas of the photo to work or look right, please ask for help. We have many community members here who are more than willing to help you!
*A word about shadows...please use them! You can google "digitalscrapbooking shadow tutorial".
How to make previews for the gallery and where to put them:
*Please make a 600pixel preview for each of your cards and put the word "Preview" over the top of them so no one can steal them out of the gallery!
* Post your previews of your cards in the Birthday Card Exchange Gallery for everyone to see! This is not the same place as the general quick page exchange gallery.
*Take a look in the gallery if you have questions about this format.
How to name and upload your files:
*Please name your cards in the format "username_gdsbdayex_card01". For example, my third quick page for the March 2013 exchange would be called "goldscraps_gdsbdayex_card01.png" or "goldscraps_gdsbdayex_card01.jpg". This will help me to keep all of the files organized and know who has participated so I can send you links to download.
* Upload your cards to Andrea's drop box here: http://www.dropitto.me/andreagold The password is "ilovescrapbooking" with no quotation marks. This will send your page right to her computer! We do not need you to upload previews, only the actual cards. Upload your quick pages one at a time, making sure to use the file naming procedure above. Please do not zip the files or upload zip files! Put the previews in the gallery only.
*Submit your cards by the deadline at midnight. Anyone who doesn't submit by this date will not get download links for the entire collection. We will not be waiting for those who have not uploaded yet. I think that will help us to get the final links out fast for everyone to download. :)
Deadline information:
* Once the exchange is over, I will zip up the submitted cards and the download links will be distributed to participants.
*The deadline for submission is:
Other information:
* Please post here that you uploaded so we can make sure it came through OK and that we got it.
*We will keep a list below of who is participating and has uploaded correctly.
List of those who have correctly uploaded cards:

Weigh In and Raw News...
I am not doing the super high raw challenge anymore. I did 30 days and had enough. Honestly, it was never easy for me. I never felt great. It was a struggle. My weigh in was very disappointing at only 5 lbs for the month. I understand why though, given the amount of nuts and dried fruits I was eating. Also, I ended up having a lupus flare this last week and that just made me realize that it was NOT helping me. (I am in NO way blaming the raw diet for the flare, just saying that my body didn't seem that much different eating that way..).
Soooo.. I am modifying to aim for 70-75% raw, staying away from wheat (although allowing myself sprouted bread once a day if I want it).. It think this will be sooo much easier. I love my green smoothies and am going to have one sweet smoothie and one savory smoothie a day.
I already feel much more satisfied.
I'm thrilled I did the 30 days... but if I went another the same way I think I would just be totally miserable and angry and obsessive... which is NOT why I was doing this!
Soooo.... there it is.
I am thrilled I am doing the 70-75% raw.... and I can't wait to see how I feel a month from now. I am doing this for the next 100 days.
23 comments:
You've done FABULOUSLY, Mel - be proud!! I follow a high-raw vegan diet (75-80%), which is perfect for me - that way, I still enjoy cooked foods about 20% of the time (a good balance for my body).ReplyDelete
you gotta do what's right for you!ReplyDelete
I'm sorry about the flare! It's too bad the raw challenge was so miserable. I am very very glad that you are listening so well to your body and doing what you are comfortable with. No diet is worth being that miserable over. Moderation in all things ((((((Mel))))ReplyDelete
I'm a big fan of HRAV (High Raw, All Vegan) and it's great for me. I have had times when I'm 100% Raw, but I'm loving the flexibility of HRAV and I feel fantastic :)ReplyDelete
I love that you're listening to your body, too.
Too many nuts and dried fruit was probably the culprit. Be sure to drink lots of green smoothies and/or juice if you can... they make all the difference in the world to me :)
You've done a great job and losing 5 pounds in a month is pretty good. I was 100% raw for about 6 months and have been high raw vegan since. I honestly don't feel as good - the first 30 days of 100% raw was tough because of detox but then I felt unbelievable. I feel great now but cooked food does upset my balance. However, it's a matter of having lifestyle flexibility for me so it suits and I've learned not to beat myself up about it!ReplyDelete
Good on you for choosing to be 70% raw! You will still be doing wonderful things for your health :)
You did it! Hey--5 lbs is nothing to sneeze at. You are probably so amazingly detoxified. Here's to enjoying some cooked food now.ReplyDelete
Sorry about the lupus flare...my sister has lupus, so I know it's not fun.
I don't think I would do well on a full raw diet. I think your aim of 70-75% is more realistic. Congrats on the 5 lb loss!ReplyDelete
I think 70% is still an impressive feat and I am still in awe of the amazing foods you create. Congrats on your 5 pounds too!ReplyDelete
I am super impressed that you made it through 30 days of 100% raw!! I think adjusting your raw intake to make yourself feel better sounds like the best thing to do. That tempeh looks delicious.... definitely worth adding back into your diet!ReplyDelete

Post card from Fred Lynn to his mother (6)

|Post card from Fred Lynn to his mother (6)
|Embroidered card showing the Regimental Badge etc. of the Sherwood Foresters (Notts and Derby).
Fred Lynn's story
Fred's story is told here through a number of photographs and post cards that he sent to his mother. She kept them in an album, together with those from his brothers and sisters.
Frederick Lynn was the sixth of 7 surviving children of Sarah Ann and Christmas Lynn. Fred was born in 1896 and brought up in Gedney Hill in south Lincolnshire.
Fred and his brothers Robert and John went to Lincoln to enlist in April 1916.
Robert was not accepted. I don't know if this was because he was not fit or because he was now the head of the household (his father had died in 1915) or because he was a farmer.
Fred enlisted in the Notts and Derby Regiment of the Sherwood Foresters. He became a Lance Corporal in the 15th Battalion and was wounded in 1918.
He was in hospital in Southampton in May 1918 but was discharged and returned to his Battalion. Tragically he was killed on 29th September 1918 and is commemorated on the Memorial at the Tyne Cot Cemetery in Belgium and on the war memorials in his home village of Gedney Hill.
Fred's brother John Lynn also enlisted but I have no photographs of him and very few postcards to his mother. John survived the war but died in 1918, perhaps in the flu pandemic.
