Alaska's largest city, Anchorage, lies between the mountains and the sea and yet is no stranger to the wilderness. There is no other urban area like it.
About Anchorage
Among the northernmost cities on Earth, Anchorage is a place with big-city amenities: fine restaurants, museums, theaters and an excellent music scene. Creating the backdrop are the salmon-rich waters of Cook Inlet and the 5,000-foot-plus peaks of Chugach State Park. Within a short drive from downtown are dozens of wilderness adventures and a short plane ride opens up the possibility of almost any type adventure. That's one reason why Anchorage's Lake Hood is the world's busiest floatplane base. Anchorage's 284,994 residents embrace both the urban amenities and the wilderness beyond it.
Things to do
Anchorage features dozens of parks and 122 miles of paved bike paths. Warmed by a maritime climate, you can spend the day fishing Ship Creek downtown, hiking the nearby mountains, photographing glaciers and dining at a four-star restaurant. Within a 15-minute drive from downtown is the tree-lined trailhead of Anchorage's most popular hike, Flattop Mountain. In winter, the city transforms into fluffy white playground, with 130 kilometers of maintained Nordic ski trails, dog sledding, ice skating, snowmobiling, ice sculptures and more. Just 45 minutes away is Alaska's premier alpine ski resort, Alyeska Resort.
Getting here and around
Anchorage technically stretches across 1,955 square miles, from the Alaska Native village of Eklutna all the way to Portage Glacier south of town. Anchorage's Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport is the state's main air hub, and it's no stretch to say all roads (in Alaska anyway) lead to Anchorage as well. Paved highways accessible from Anchorage connect to places like Fairbanks, Valdez, the Kenai Peninsula, Denali National Park and Preserve and Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve. The Alaska Railroad's main passenger depot is located in Anchorage and runs from Seward to Fairbanks.
Anchorage wasn't officially founded until 1915, even though British explorer Captain James Cook sailed past the site in 1779 and gold prospectors discovered the bounty of Ship Creek in the late 1800s. It wasn't until the Alaska Railroad set up a construction camp in 1915 that Anchorage was established and became a booming tent city of 2,000 people. Anchorage proved to be the ideal center for Alaska's rail, air and highway systems with the military build up of World War II and the discovery of oil in Cook Inlet in the 1950s, adding to its steady growth. After the 1964 Good Friday Earthquake, the city was rebuilding itself when another opportunity arose: the discovery of a $10-billion oil reserve in Prudhoe Bay. Though the Trans-Alaska Pipeline doesn't come within 185 miles of Anchorage, the city became the headquarters of various petroleum and service companies.
Anchorage is centrally located in Alaska, 358 miles south of Fairbanks and 127 miles north of Seward. More than 200 domestic and international flights service the city daily. Seattle is only 3.5 hours away via jet. You can also drive to Anchorage from the Lower 48 or Canada via the Alaska Highway and the Glenn Highway, which leads right into the city's downtown. From Anchorage, you can drive north to Fairbanks along the Parks Highway or south toward the famous Kenai Peninsula and the communities of Girdwood, Seward, Soldotna, Kenai and Homer via the Seward and Sterling highways. The Alaska Railroad's main passenger depot is in Anchorage and its trains travels north to Denali National Park and Fairbanks and south to Whittier and Seward from the city.
The 26 Glacier Cruise operates from Whittier, Alaska, 60 miles southeast of Anchorage. This 5 hour glacier and wildlife adventure travels 145-miles round trip May through September. The Klondike Express is a high-speed luxury catamaran with 3 outside viewing decks, and pre-reserved booth style seating for each guest inside. The route includes the Egg Rock sea lion rookery, scenic Esther Passage and the massive tidewater glaciers of College and Harriman Fjords. Watch for sea otters, harbor seals, whales and other marine wildlife en-route. Lunch is included and served to passengers at their tables. Professional narration is provided by US Forest Service Rangers on every cruise. Phillips guarantees no seasickness or your money back. You may book and ticket online at www.26glaciers.com

From mid- to late summer, king, coho and pink salmon spawn up Ship Creek, the historical site of Tanaina Indian fish camps. The Ship Creek Salmon Viewing Platform is the best place to witness this natural phenomenon in Anchorage. Or arrive with a rod-and-reel and try to catch one.
Wild Salmon on Parade +
The wildest fish in Anchorage are found along streets as part of the Wild Salmon on Parade, an annual event in which local artists turn fiberglass fish into anything but fish. The art competition has resulted in a fish with boxing gloves titled "Socked Eye Salmon" and "Marilyn MonROE" to "Fish & Chips," a poker-playing halibut. The 30 or so colorful fish appear on the streets in early June and stick around until September.

SANDPOINT, Idaho -- One man is dead, and another man was treated for a gunshot wound after a fight in Sandpoint Wednesday Night.
Sandpoint Police Chief Corey Coon said officer responded to a home at 726 6th Ave. just after 6:00 p.m.
Coon said relatives, both in their mid-thirties, were drinking throughout the day and got involved in an altercation. Authorities said Alberto Tuinzing, 36, pulled out a semi-automatic handgun and shot Anthony Viola, 35, in the left bicep.
Medics treated Viola at Bonner General and released. Coon said he is cooperating with detectives.
Doctors pronounced Tuinzing dead at the hospital. Pending an autopsy, the cause of death has yet to be determined.
The investigation is continuing and no charges have yet to be filed.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by IzzyKB24fan Crazy quick I bought the crazy quick shoes and before I bought these shoes I had the aidzero. And those shoes helped but wasn't giving the quickness I need. But now that I have the crazy quick, it gives me easier access the cut,drive-in, and quickness to get open to shoot those J's. they give me good ankle support, but if your one of those guys who need cushion in there shoes, these shoes are not recommend in my opinion. But these shoes do have that flexibility that give you overall advantage over your opponent that keep them on there toes but give you comfort. These shoes are the best shoes I got and highly recommend to anyone! June 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Nash.Chapman AWESOME!! OK it has great style, definitly a shoe i would show off. the grip is matched by no other, stop on a dime and explode like a bomb! the 17 flex zones really affect your game.. you can feel the difference between this shoe and another, like the hyperdunks... this shoe allows your foot to act naturally and flex in feels great... its light, supportive, grips great, looks amazing, and a quality shoe... honestly i have to say its the best shoe ive evr worn!! April 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by starman111111 And Then, Along Came Electric YELLOW What I expected was speed, comfort, the ability to maneuver at will and and the âcool factor.â When the fans start to point and ask each other, âWhat has he got on? Wow, they are so cool.â Then your sporting the âcool factor.â Until that afternoon, I had two other pairs of the Crazyquicks. Silver and black/red. Greatest shoe ever made. Plain and simple. I have diabetic feet; with Crazyquicks Iâm not wearing basketball shoes, Iâm wearing slippers. Then the box opened with the roar of the FedEx truck leaving in the background provided the proper ambience. I expected to see yellow, after all, I ordered yellow. What I didnât expect was to see was a pair of fast cutting, extra light, Crazyquicks âglowingâ at me. Almost making me squint. Then that squint turned to a slight smile, the one with a curled lip. Already I saw tonight's game laid out in front of me. Oh, I must not forget, we were playing the formidable Tommy Morton. Tommy was 6â7â, 260, and in his spare time, he was a pillar down at the shopping center. And since he was there anyway, he might a well play security guard. Tommy couldnât jump very high. He simply stretched up, slapped a few fingers around the ball. If a few heads were in the way, they were rebounded too. As I approached Tommy before our contest, I saw something I had never seen before: Tommy appeared to be fighting it. He tried to hide it, but it was there, he was slightly intimidated by the flash of yellow that supported my six foot frame. The game began with Tommy missing the jump ball entirely. I grabbed it -- game on! The strangest thing happened. Apparently our small forward lost a contact during the hassle for the jump ball. Now he was down on hands and knees, one eye closed, trying to spot the elusive piece of silicone, or whatever contacts are made of. Poor Tommy, as he backed up, he never saw the competitions' usual horizontal position. I will say one thing, though, 911 was there fast. It seems Tommy braced himself for the tumble with a perfectly outstretched arm. Two quick pops in his shoulder and Tommy was now two ligaments short of the required four. As he was carted off toward the ambulance, I knew just how he felt. I had two ligaments snap as I tried to learn to heely. I turned to my horizontal friend, âFind your contact?â âThe more I think about it, the more I think I left them home... â Hmmm. Three pair of Crazyquicks. One pair a bit brighter than the others. I think I have enough colors now. August 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by illini1804 But when you're Crazyquick, man. Quick ain't fair. Truthfully, I've only used them a few times, so not a lot to go off of yet. However, they've certainly lived up to their hype. At least for me. Very light. Great tread for stoppin' on a dime, changing speed and direction, and overall improving my confidence on the court. Was a little worried my braces wouldn't fit in them, but I made it work. The braces may inhibit some of the performance I get out of them, but still solid with. The colorway ain't too bad either! Already getting compliments out there on the court. Would like to see some of the other colors like they got internationally. May 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by John_Wall quick ain't fair In a league of fast guards, being quick is what makes my game unique. The technology behind the Crazyquick is totally different than anything Iâve ever worn. The Crazyquick gives me a big advantage, whether its stopping, changing direction or accelerating. It really changes the game for me. It makes me quicker, and Iâm already known for being quick. April 29, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Gthenaylor Dissapointed First of all, I was expecting this shoe to have a ton of grip. But the hype seemed to be false, I found the grip less than average and the lateral grip was just ok. The sprint frame stabs into my ankle making it very unconfortable and my ankles still hurt even after I take it off. The cushioning is poor, I didn't expect it to be that great but it is still bad. The ventilation is even worse, and it doesn't matter how tight I tie the shoes my feet never really feel completely secure. And it is also very hard to put the shoe on because it pretty much does not have a tounge at all. I was just expecting so much more, but ended up very dissapointed. July 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by crk916 Amazing shoe This is one of those shoes that is so good it's hard to believe. Soooo light. Great support. You look at the shoe and hold it and would think the support would be pathetic. Wrong. Traction is stupid good. 2 things though. I wish the foam was just a TINY bit softer but I am sure with break in it will be fine. Biggest concern...multiple labels warning materials might wear. I hope this shoe doesn't have stuff pealing away. $140 you hope it lasts. But overall an amazing piece of a basketball footwear technology. Awesome... May 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by BCO Great purchase I am an ex division 1 BBall player, but now as an older athlete and a tournament racquetball (A division) player I wear bball shoes while playing, and these are nice, lite with great support. Plus they look good! The material is different very flexible, which makes the shoe more comfortable over long periods of competitive tournament racquetball (I can play for 2 to 3 hours easy)! December 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by JinsUnited High Quality Shoes for the Price First off, props to Adidas for sending the shoes in 2 days through standard shipping. I've been playing in these for about 2 weeks. The break-in period appears to be about a week or so. The grip was above average; great lateral and forward grip, but not the best grip I've ever had. There was a few major slips at first, but after a number of games the sole broke in and was fine after that. Like other people are saying the ankle cuff does tend to cut into the ankle, so wear them loose and be patient to break in the material. Cushioning was OK, but for guards like me I prefer the minimal cushioning to get a lower to the ground feel, which this shoe offers. March 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by DawnPatrol805 Great Shoes For Hooping In Worn them straight out of the box with no issues. Feel great on the feet, lightweight, responsive, great control, good support. Would be great for any guard/small forward, not sure if they have the cushion for a hefty big man. Highly recommended. May 11, 2013

It's been awhile since the last review. Everyone should have this in their toy arsenal. This is amazing!! I use it all over the genital area for added enjoyment in conjunction with the sounds I purchased.

- Loved It Review by Joseph
Oustanding quality. Allows the right amount of stimulation, whenever you desire to press for more. Not for sharing. Single user only.
(Posted on 8/20/12)
- Untitled Review by Guest
This item has very fine craftsmanship. The weight is solid and the design is ergonomically perfect. The tines are quite sharp, so while using the wheel no added pressure is needed to bring about the desired effect. There will be the occasional breakage of skin, so I would not recommend sharing this wheel with others.

I don't know what happened, Molly, but I'm sorry. I feel the same way L does.
I don't know what happened, Molly, but I'm sorry. I feel the same way L does.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Molly, I'm sorry you were made to feel like that by someone on this site. I don't really venture out of this room much anymore. I probably wouldn't visit the site actually if it weren't for you ladies.
Molly, I am sorry for whatever happened. You're safe in here!
Chrissy, last night I read this article in my national geographic magazine about teenage brains and why they act the way they do. I thought about you the whole time and wanted to share it with you. I found it very interesting.
Bridget, that's a really fascinating article. Whe. I worked in a K - 8 school and had middle schoolers to deal with, I realized how pathetically little I knew about that stage of development. I really thought about taking a class, but then I moved to a K-5 school and now preschool. I think I'll stay where I am!
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
That was a great read Bridget. Very enlightening!
I think you're doing a great job with Jesi FWIW Chrissy. You are a very dedicated mom and I hope she can see that. I'm sure she does as well. Plus, I remember you mentioning that she is a lot like you were at her age. Take comfort in that. Look at where you are now and know that if she does make mistakes similar to those that you made then more than likely she will be okay.
Those are some strange laws you have in NY though. I have never heard of anything like that until you had mentioned it before. Crazy also that the country can send 18 year olds off to war but in NY you have to financially take care of a child until their 21 or the state will sue you. I bet the state will take a 17 soon to be 18 year old into their National Guard or Coast Guard and I bet if they get injured you wouldn't be able to sue to state for abuse.
And Molly so sorry if someone is giving you a rough time here. I was happy to see you back if it means anything. I also probably wouldn't be here if not for this room and our group of ladies.

I'll have to read that teenager article; it's good to be prepared, right?
I had an "awww" moment with DH tonight. We were upstairs putting Travis' bedding back on his bed together and I mentioned that his bedding reminds me of when I first came over to see DH at Christmas when we were still a long-distance couple (the bed Travis sleeps in now is a small double bed that used to be DH's when he still lived with his parents). So, we were talking about how he'd picked me up from the airport and when I got to DH's parents house, I was so jet-lagged, that I was so happy to go upstairs and go straight to sleep for a few hours (in that bed!) We were just bantering about the misconceptions I'd had of England and just how we felt at the time and DH told me that he really wanted to ask me to marry him right then and there (but he actually waited a year later since we'd only known each other 6 months at that point). He'd never told me that! I was all like, "aaaaaaw." lol
Oh, how sweet! Love your story.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I swear, Moll, if you disappear on me again, I will have to go on antidepressants! For my sake, please try to forget about the others, and don't forget your own awesomeness.
I started reading the article...I did know that the human brain doesn't develop fully till we're 25. I guess what gets me is Bobbie was raised in the same house, with the same rules, and she hasn't acted out like Jesi at all. I know they're different people and all that. I still didn't expect this extreme amount of misbehavior from her.
I'm beginning to wonder if there will ever be a day when I can fully trust her again. That's the part that bugs me the most.
Everyone thought I was nuts for meeting a guy online since no one had never done such a thing in my circle of friends and family!
I think I knew you met online...it sounds familiar anyway. Weren't you scared when you went out the first time? It's a very sweet story though Did you have to give up your US citizenship?
Oh, and you are nuts. But in a good way.
It's a very romantic story, and the two of you being so happy now makes it so much better. Before I met DH I planned to move to England. I met him right after, though, and never left. I'd still like to live there ... Don't know that I ever will.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
And Chrissy, I think birth order plays a part, too. It's not unusual for one child to be an achiever and then the second child to act out. That's how it was in my family and I've read that's a pretty common pattern.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I've been thinking about chat rooms tonight now...I visited some here and there 'back in the day'. I kinda miss them because you got to talk to different people all the time. Message boards are nice, and I love this group a lot, but in a chat room you met new people that you'd maybe not have anything in common with except perhaps being bored at the exact same time.
Some of my favorite conversations were with a guy from Manhattan weeks after 9/11, a rancher in Montana, and some college kid that was struggling with his relationship. I can't remember the details of that conversation but I do recall clearly that he offered to burn me a CD and send it to a Mailboxes.com address as a thank you for listening to him. It's been a long time since I talked to real strangers online. I think the a/s/l and pic requests got to be too much so I quit visiting them.

And nope, didn't have to give up citizenship. The boys and I are Yankee Limeys as Myles would say.
By the time Rich and I met in person for our first date, I already felt like I knew everything about him. We'd talked every single day on web cam and also on the phone.
People meeting online is so common these days!
I met dbf at a bar in passing. Our first "real" meeting with conversation was on a trolley around Oahu on Cinqo de Mayo.
I took the kids to a party yesterday. It was a wedding reception for a couple that go married in Vegas and they had a table of stuff for kids to do. So cool! But I encountered another one of those loud talker moms who says all the "right" things to their kid just loud enough for everyone to hear and actually made it so obvious by staring at me (because the boy was playing with Kai) the entire time she was talking to her son. Argh! Mom's like that crack me up and make me mad at the same time. So weird!
There was another couple there, the wife I have met before and she's very sweet. Kai and her son T get along great every time we run into eachother so the kids were playing awesome and the husband was really sweet and funny and he just couldn't stop going on and on about what a cool kid Kai is, how funny he is, how nice he shared. Kai was beaming. I couldn't help but wish Kai's own dad would say that stuff to him. I kept telling her how awesome her husband was and then after like the 3rd time I told her I must be weirding her out and she laughed and said no she liked hearing it. I almost said I wanted to take him home with me but that would have been officially inappropriate.
We just got a 39k estimate to rebuild a retaining wall at our house down in L.A. Uh, I think DH is going to do it himself.
On the subject of antidepressants, I think I told you guys before that I was diagnosed with PMDD, and the doctor prescribed Zoloft for it. Apart from the side effect of heartburn, I think it really did a lot to improve my symptoms the 2 weeks leading up to AF. I wasn't consistent with taking it because it was a stop-and-start medication anyway, and then I replaced it with a birth control pill called Yaz, which treated the same symptoms. I don't know if it was because my symptoms weren't that strong to begin with, but those drugs not only combatted the symptoms, but also gave me a little bit of a buzz, like I was kind of a little TOO happy. I felt like I wanted to take them recreationally, so they made me wary. Then we started TTC, and after Bodhi came, my symptoms were never quite as severe as before, so I've managed without it. Anyway, my take on that family of drugs (SSRIs)is that they really can help people who are situationally in a bad place (e.g. profound grief), but in those cases, need to be paired with some sort of "outlook" therapy to figure out how one can cope without the chemicals. Like, the goal should be to get off the drugs. I know others with chronic anxiety, or severe OCD who were helped by either an AD or an anti-anxiety drug. My BIL, for instance, was a downright sociopath. He was seriously like the Jack Nicholson character in As Good As It Gets, and now he's fairly normal with regular use of the meds. So I don't know what my point is. I agree that doctors tend to overprescribe. Like, in my case, I sort of looked up the symptoms of PMDD, recited them to my doctor and they were obviously really subjective. I might as well have just said "I think I may have PMDD" and she would have probably written me the script. So perhaps the problem is that doctors may feel that the drugs are so harmless they can let their patients give them a try almost at whim. And if they're not prescribed with some sort of reinforcement to try to manage one's problems naturally, patients can develop a crutch mentality towards them.
Ash, I think that story is adorable. I am so impressed that you flew out to the UK to be with him. I just love your story. DH & I met on Match.com. We were both at the tail end of our usage of the site. Dated for a month, but didn't really click until we went surfing together. We say we fell in love in the Pacific Ocean, which is true.
I confess that last week, I was frustrated because I felt I'd worked so hard at the gym (sometimes pulling double workouts) and choosing what I ate. After a week of that, I not only didn't lose anything, but I'd gained .2 lbs. This morning I weighed myself (after 4 days of NOT eating so well due to visit by Orange Hungry Monster) and I lost two whole lbs. I think that means I've lost about 6+ lbs since I started doing my own personal 121 day challenge. I'm halfway through now. Hey, if I lose another 4 lbs between now and the end of the challenge, I won't complain.
Speaking of workouts, Ash, I thought of you in Zumba the other night when we did the "speed cabbage patch". LOL.
Molly, again, please come back to us. You could just stay in here. Unfortunately, I think you're always going to come across views that don't feel supportive in here. I'm so sure that if I spent more time outside this room, I'd feel condemnation from various groups of moms for my atheism, my parenting style, my politics etc. There are a million little things I do that I know people have opinions about. I just feel dismissive of most people who disagree with me unless they can make some sort of dent in my logic.
What is that saying from The 4 Agreements? "An insult is only an insult if you choose to believe it." For example, if someone wrinkled her nose at me and said, "You have a big black stain on your shirt and it's really disgusting", that'd be an easy one to shrug off, because who cares about a mark on something I wear? Or if someone were to get all eye-rolly and say "I can't BELIEVE the way some parents risk suffocating their children by sharing a bed with them!", I can shrug that off too, because I'm confident and feel informed in my decision to share sleep with my little guy. But if someone were to start sounding off about moms who work out of the home, I would be a bit bothered by that and feel hurt and judged because that's an area where I tend to judge myself (believing the insult). I feel like I'm not at my ideal where that's concerned. So bottom line, I know you know you did the optimal thing last year. So when someone starts voicing their judgmental, half-baked ideas like with what happened most recently, just try to hear it like it's someone trying to act all superior about a stain on your shirt, and not someone who has any true insight into your motives and thought processes.
One thing a friend of mine always used to remind me of is that half the population is below average intelligence. And it's not my job to teach them. To put it more crassly, you just gotta let people be dumb sometimes; if you don't, and if you try to change the way all those people think, it'll just be exhausting and a waste of time.
That's my two cents because I desperately want to keep you here, Moll. Wub u!

(BTW, I know the statement "half the population is below average intelligence" isn't true. But it sounds good. )
But your point is an excellent one, because that group of people is out there. Something I need to remind myself of, too.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
The speed cabbage patch...I think I know the one you are talking about and I only just now can kind of do that one...the speedy moves always catch me off guard! I have a really hard time doing the move where you pump your arms and hump the air while going side ways to the left and then side ways to the right....it's like I can do the arms and the humping bit but not altogether! LOL!
That's great weight loss as well! It's hard to understand weight loss; my SIL is always on a diet and she can eat tiny amounts of food for awhile and gain weight and then she'll just change one little thing and like lose 5 pounds in a week...
Come back, Molly! Myles speaks the wise words here! I enjoy your posts on here and you add something special to this group! And about the people being dumb thing, that is soooo true! I get too easily annoyed at dumb people. That's one thing I need to improve on....just letting things go like that.
Bridget, that story was great!
Myles, I get what you're saying about SSRIs. They're definitely needed in some situations, and for life probably. Far be it from me to prevent anyone from living their own best life possible.
I can kind of see what you were saying about being offended by other people's ideals, especially if they're contrary to something you feel sensitive about. And I agree that that can be the case. However, I have zero guilty or second thoughts about being a mother that works outside the home. I'm confident that that is the best scenario for our family. I can still get upset though when I read someone else be so darned adamant that I'm causing my child damage on any level by doing so. It's not about my own reservations about my choice...it's about how 'holier than thou' some people are and they're so certain that they know what's best for everyone in this world. It's really not the debate topic that offends me, it's their absolute certainty without reservation that they are right in each and every stinkin situation.
I know what works for me. I couldn't care less what others do in their own lives, kwim? I'll put my own opinion out there but I don't expect everyone to believe the same as me. If they don't it doesn't mean I'm stupid or they're stupid...they're just different situations.
And Molly, FWIW, I totally agree with Myles.
And I'm another one that met my DH online...except it was 1998 and really nobody was doing that yet and hotmail had free classifieds....and I didn't see him until we actually met in person because he didn't have a picture online (and I wasn't going to give him my home address....I had him send it to my gay guy friend at college who got in the mail and said he was cute like the day we met).
I met DH in 1998 too! It was on the AOL chat rooms. I didn't have a picture of him either, all I knew is he was very tall and skinny with glasses and brown hair, and he did stand a good few inches over the average person. When he got off the train I called out his name and he looked around, but he didn't look down far enough to see me at first
I guess I wasn't very clear, but I don't plan on leaving the secular confessions thread.
I just feel generally uncomfy much of the time elsewhere on the board. Kind of like when I hang with people in my neighborhood, or almost anyone who lives in Texas willingly. Just out of place.
I have a story about that, kind of. A few weeks ago Abbey tried a ballet class.
So we go to the class and the entire way there she's so excited. She knows this is HER class, and Mommy won't be going in. It's "Just for Abbey, Abbey's dance class without Mommy." She repeats over and over , and my heart tugs a little bit. My little girl, growing up.
We get to the dance class and she is walked back to the room, she sits with the other toddlers, and I walk out, ready to wait patiently in the front room and watch my ballerina dance on the flat screen montiors they have set up just for moms like me. But two steps down the hallway I hear my girl crying inconsolably, shrieking for her Mommy. So I go in and stand at the back for most of class so she doesn't feel abandoned. She clings to my leg. I kneel down and say "Baby, you said you wanted to take ballet. I told you Mommy couldn't be here with you. Remember, "Abbey's dance class"?
She looks at me and says "Nope. Want Mommy."
And I knew why she wanted mommy. The teachers were like military sargents, demading the two-year-olds stay in line crossleagged and wait their turn to do a roll. They wanted them to wait, patiently, while twelve other two-year-olds had their turn. Then they became visibly frustrated when the two-year-olds failed to sit still, rolling their eyes at each other and saying sharply "sit your butt down, little miss!"*
I tried anyway for a good half hour to get her to participate, but she stood her ground, arms folded, face done up in scowl. I figured we would'nt be going back, but we fully stormed out halfway through, because they started playing "10 Little Indians" and had all the toddlers hooting and hopping on one leg ("c'mon girls! Hoot like an Indian!").
Nobody asked why I left, they probably assumed it was because Abbey cried, which is all for the best.
The point is, I need a refuge from the complete lack of social consciousness that stinks up this place. So thanks for that, Secular ladies
*By the way, my least favorite southern mannerism is to say something nasty but follow it up with a "little miss" or "sir" or "ma'm" like that makes it somehow respectful or makes the speaker somehow less of an a$$hole.
That dance class sounds awful! I would be so pissed! Poor Abbey.
The 3 boys I recently started caring for used to take dance at the same school Savana goes to and their mom pulled them because they were getting homophobic-like comments from the other parents!! Can you imagine? She takes them now to a school in a town 20 minutes away. There are no boys at Savana's school. I've asked Kai several times if he wants to do it and he says only if more boys do it.
People are such punks.
Did I ever tell you guys how I bought Kai a probiotic and told him it was tasteless and then overheard him whispering to my dad, "I think I have a superpower because mom bought me this stuff and said it was tasteless but guess what? I can taste it!"
Yesterday he lined up a bunch of his abc magnets and asked me what it said so I sounded out the letters and of course it was just one long nonsense word. He looked at me, totally incredulous, and said, "So that's my superpower! I speak spanish!"

"I had photos printed on the back of the card as well as the front it's a great way to design the cards that way if you are like me and love all of your baby's photos and have a hard time choosing which one to put on the front"
"We loved this design. We used a black and white photos of out baby girl, one for the front and one in the back. I thought it was just a bit too much pink, so we changed the font color to the chocolate to better match the photo. We also chose the double thick matte paper which gave the announcement some added weight and thickness. Worth the extra money and definitely feels like a high quality product."
"The announcement was absolutely perfect. I ordered it in the purple. The card quality and the announcement overall was received well by family and friends. Many people gave wonderful compliments. Also, I didn't pre-order the envelopes using the correct way, but customer service was great and quickly responded to my needs. So worth the money. Now i'm back on the site looking for my second birth announcement for our second child. I wouldn't trust anyone else."
"I absolutely loved this announcement. I ordered the purple colorway and the flower placement onto the photo was beautiful. I received so many compliments on this card and it wasn't just because of my beautiful baby!"
"I ordered this card for my daughter's birth announcement and it is GORGEOUS! The photo is of my daughter at 2 weeks wearing nothing but her birthday suit and a pink flowered headband...so cute. It went perfectly with the soft green damask print and pink lettering. Really classy looking card. When they arrived I noticed that a few of the cards had a few small dark ink dots on the photograph portion of card. So I call Tiny Prints and they sent out replacement cards without any hassle! Thank you Tiny Prints! Overall, this is by far my favorite purchase from Tiny Prints."

It's a callow group that Bo Ryan puts on the floor tonight atthe Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls South Dakota. With only two seniors on the roster Ryan says this may be the youngest team he's ever had. And Bucky is facing a tougher than usual non-conference schedule starting tonight against St. Johns. Ryan said last week that strentgh of schedule will not be a problem this year. Along with the Red Storm tha Badgers will also face teams like Florida, St. Louis, Oral Roberts, West Virginia and Virginia along with the usual in state matchups with UWGB, UW-Milwaukee & Marquette. Ben Brust and Zach Bohannon are the only seniors but Wisconsin does boast some pretty good underclassmen including Sam Dekker and freshman Nigel Hayes & Vitto Brown. If Josh Gasser makes it back from his knee injury...If Traveon Jackson continues to develop...if Frank Kaminsky can give them some energy inside...the Badgers should be in the Top 25 all year and on to another run in the NCAA Tournament. The journey begins tonight and you can hear the game on WSAU..pre game at 5pm.
Both the Badgers and Packers face up-tempo teams this week. Gary Andersen is very familiar with BYU as he coached against them many times when he was at Utah State...and the Packer D will have to contend with Chip Kelly's manic offense led by Nick Foles who threw 7 tds last week. The Packer seconday will be tested again and you would think that the O led by Seneca Wallace will not put up as many points as usual.
Larry Sanders will not be charged in the bar fight the other night. The question remains if he can be the leader that the Bucks front office thought he could when they signed him to the big contract just a few months ago. He's pouting over playing time, struggling on the court and making bad decisions off the court...doesnt sound like a leader to me. The Bucks seem to have some guys who care about team more than individual stuff this year...I'm not sure yet if Sanders is one of them. They are 2-2 on the season and host Dallas on Saturday.

George Papandreou:
Imagine a European democracy without borders
Greece has been the poster child for European economic crisis, but former Prime Minister George Papandreou wonders if it's just a preview of what's to come. "Our democracies," he says, "are trapped by systems that are too big to fail, or more accurately, too big to control" — while "politicians like me have lost the trust of their peoples." How to solve it? Have citizens re-engage more directly in a new democratic bargain.
