The ice rescue training is conducted annually and all suppression personnel from Sparks Fire Department participate. Every fire engine and truck company in Sparks carries the essential equipment to conduct ice rescues.
The training consists of placing a simulated victim out on an open spot of a frozen pond. A three-person fire engine or truck company arrives on scene and carries out a live rescue of a simulated victim. The entire process, from fire personnel arriving on scene to helping the simulated victim to safety is usually less than four minutes.
The Sparks Fire Department reminds everyone:
•The Sparks Fire Department utilizes specialized equipment, insulated suits and rescue techniques for ice rescue. Do not attempt on your own.
•Stay away from frozen ponds, lakes and other bodies of frozen water.
•Treat all ice as unstable, unpredictable and dangerous.
•Do not attempt rescues of people or animals, Call 911 and report all emergencies immediately.

AFI Top 10 of 2012: Who Got Snubbed?by Steve Marsi at .
What are your top 10 shows of 2012? The American Film Institute has released its annual list, which features a number of critical favorites across a wide spectrum of genres. How does it compare to your own rankings?
The complete AFI 2012 list (in alphabetical order) is:
- American Horror Story
- Breaking Bad
- Game Change
- Game of Thrones
- Girls
- Homeland
- Louie
- Mad Men
- Modern Family
- The Walking Dead
Repeat honorees include Breaking Bad, Homeland and The Walking Dead. Girls is a first-time member after just one season on HBO, and that network's Game Change made it as a made-for-TV film.
The shows listed above were chosen by critics, film and TV artists, critics, scholars and AFI Trustees. The American Film Institute will celebrate this year's honorees January 11 lunch in L.A.
Who do you think was snubbed from the list? Who would you put in the top 10?
Steve Marsi is the Managing Editor of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Google+ or email him here.Tags: TV News

My top 10 in order of preference
1)Breaking BAD
2)Game of Throne
3)Justified (Season 3 is much better than the 1st 2)
6)Boardwalk Empire
7)Sons of Anarchy
8)Mad Man
9)Last Resort (Best New show/hate that it is cancelled!)
10) Survivor and Amazing Race (only 2 reality that I watched)
I won't even argue about person of interest or Arrow, because the format is not "critics-friendly", it's "good television" not "Original series" and comedy shows are always snubbed because, well, most of them will go for the jokes instead of the story, and they're right. But, Scandal ? Great cast, great writing, great story, characters with multiple layers ( or as bad press call them "Unlikeable") ... It's one of few drama on networks Tv that still believes it is on cable.
"If you want an award, show us your boobs" right ?

12 games as Bafana coach, won - 4, lost-5 & drew 3....whats your view about Gordon "We played well" Ingusand? In 12 games that BB played under him, is there progress in BB? Do you agree with what the media sees in him that he is a mesiah? Do u agree with GI when he always says....we played well? If you were @ SAFA, would you keep him as BB coach until 2018?
Lets talk GI as Bafana coach since he took-over, 12 games is good enough to judge him.
12 games...
Views: 2807
Do you expect the coach to say we played kak in public? What would that do to his players? what do we want kanti in a coach, motivator or de-motivator?
You totally missed the point. Freddyboy wants your opinion on Gordon's performance as coach. The rest is secondary.
"You missed the hole"
Hehehehe Kali
I don't know what it says about our SAFA President. They went into contract with Igesund with two clear mendates: "Get to semifinals in Afcon2013 and qualify for Brazil 2014 World Cup." So far one mendate has not been met, and the president is ready to extend the contract despite the mendates. What was the use of them if they are not going to hold anyone responsible?
Was SAFA excutive consulted? I dont think so cause some are distancing themselves from the 2018 story
I gues it's only fair to wait until the qualifiers are over then take stock. He has failed the first mendate but maybe he will pass the second one.
Yes Bheki we should wait for the second mendate, but SAFA is not willing to wait for that they want to extend the contract now
Bheki...am talking ka the last 12 games that he was incharge
It's a poor record Fred, as far as I'm copncerned the wins should at least make up to 60% of the games to see that there is progress.
Ja,ne? We played well
If that is what is meant by playing well, we might as well forget about Brazil 2014, considering that the bulk were friendlies organised by the likes of Mr Nematandani!
The only thing worse than glorifying mediocrity, is mistaking it for the real thing. We didn't do as well as we should have as a host nation and an erstwhile continental footballing powerhouse, because we have previously scaled the heights and surely a quarter-final exit cannot and should not be considered a good performance - that is good enough for the likes of Cape Verde, not Bafana Bafana!
How scientific can one get, Honourable Mr Mbalula?
Games won....
Hehehehehe, SA can realistically now beat its Southern African counterparts...except Zambia of course.

a) glass
b) a coat of silver
c) a coat of copper paint
d) a coat of base paint
*You will need the following materials:
1. Plastic scraper (plastic putty knife will work)
2. Steel Wool (Grade 0, 00, 000, or 0000...I used Grade 0)
3. Paint stripper (one that works on glass, I used the eco-friendly stuff by NEXT)**
4. Bleach (depends on mirror size, but smallest you can find would be best)
5. Rags (I cut up some old shirts)
6. Paintbrush (something to apply the paint stripper with, i used a soft squeegee)
7. Toothbrush (an old one)
8. Chemical resistant gloves (Chemical proof if you want to be safer)
9. Kneepads (if working on floor)
80. Goggles (if you want them to prevent splashing, I wear glasses)
11. Latex Paint and Odor Respirator
12. Glass Cleaner or Soap & Water
13. Large Tarp or covered table
*Shouldn't cost you more than $30 (this is given that I had the tarp, glass cleaner, squeegee, steel wool, plastic scraper, and rags to begin with, and I didn't use knee pads)
**Don't get paint thinner, apparently that won't do much of anything, but I've never tried it
Make sure to work in a well-ventilated area. This means intake and exhaust (cross-breeze) Contact your town or county for disposal of all the used materials you wish to get rid of.
Step 1: Set Up
There was brown paper backing glued to the mirror back that i tried to get off by getting it wet and scrubbing it. I eventually just gooped on the gel type paint stripper on it and let it sit for 15 minutes like the instructions say. I used a scrape peice of hard plastic with a sharp corner on it and was able to take the paper backing off and the gray paint backing off together. It took 3 repeats but 2 could have done it.
(Here is what did not work. Acetone dried far to quickly to do any good dissolving anything. I used a spatula for scraping at first but it's edge wasn't sharp enough to be effective. I didn't want to use metal or razor blades for fear of scratching glass.)
Once I had the middle part of the mirror free of the paper and paint backing the mirror was reflective and had a copper tinge. I put strait muriatic (hydrocloric acid) (from the pool supply store) on it and smeared it around with a paper towel--a small amount just enough to get it wet. After about 30 seconds to a minute the silver mirroring can be wiiped off with paper towels. I did this 3 times to get it off but twice would have worked.
A note about hydrochloric acid. It is the same acid as stomach acid and is also what is used to lower pH in swimming pools. The stuff is very strong in the bottle so I always used regular disposable medical gloves to keep it off my skin. It has nasty fumes that will burn and cause you to cough so don't lean over it and do this part outside! You will have a lot of acid left over. I used it to bubble of calcium deposits and clean stained concrete driveways and sidewalks as well has for my pool. It is just HCl, so beyond being a power acid it is not some unnatural chemical.
After getting enough of the mirroring off, I rinsed it and dried it and taped a photo to the back of it.
1) gel paint stripper
2) muraitic acid
3) something to scrape with
4) paper towels
5) water proof GLOVES
Enter the desilvering idea. All resources I found online were geared toward making an antique mirror, which I had no interest in doing. I found one random website, after a couple of weeks of on and off searching, that mentioned using bathroom or household cleaners, i.e. anything that had bleach in it. The other solutions used Nitric Acid, or Muriatic Acid to remove the silver. I don't know about you, but I have plenty of uses for leftover acid in my apartment....... :)
The other popular solution was to go with Mirror Silver Strip (MSR) that was sold for $30/16 oz bottle or in a powder. There were other various powders to be bought, but for that same $30, I could buy all of the protective gear and cleaning agents and solve my problem just as easily.
Essentially, I did this because I wanted to see if the bleach would really work. If it did, I wanted others to be able to find this answer easily and use it for their own projects in combination with other answers they had found, i.e. to make an antique mirror without buying Nitric Acid or chemicals more dangerous than bleach or paint stripper.
There was only one problem. I didn't take any pictures. So I did it again, but with a smaller mirror that was square, not octagonal like the original.
Did that answer your question?
It seems we both learned something here today. Thanks.

Suitable from 12 months+
Order today for Monday delivery
Manufactured in a durable, high quality wood-like material, this unique piece of kitchen furniture, suitable for children aged 1*-5, is the perfect safety accessory for the kitchen. The multi award-winning FunPod® from Little Helper provides a safe environment to get your toddlers up to the worktop on their own safely constructed platform to help, interact, learn and play.
*The child must be able to stand unaided in order to use the FunPod™ safely. It is important that the child's chest is in line with the top of the FunPod™ for safety. Adjust the level accordingly.
What a great idea - a friend recommended this to me as I childcare as well as have my own family. I have two of these and they are a Godsend. I prepare food with my own kids and the ones I look after and they use them for standing in and painting or messing in the sink. Absolutely brilliant - I can't recommend these enough.
The first delivery arrived- product broken beyond repair. So I repackaged it all up to send back. 2nd delivery - kiddicare forgot to put it on the system so waited in for nothing 3rd delivery - product had cracked veneer but can be used so rather than wait for another delivery we just decided to keep that one. The product is a good concept and my little one loves it, however as noted in other posts online there are some issues with damaged goods arriving and with kiddicare messing up the replacement it wasn't the easiest thing to get hold off. Perhaps the packaging needs to be reviewed to stop it being damaged. Overall I like the product and would buy it again but I remain a little disappointed with kiddicare as this was way more hassle/inconvenience than it should have been.
I've only had the fun pods for a few days and my twins love them and don't want to come out of them!! They are brilliant for getting them involved in the kitchen and helping you with the peace of mind that they are safe and won't tip over or fall out, as they probably would on a chair. They are a bit big to leave in the kitchen the whole time, but they are very portable so it's easy enough to move them out when we're not using them.
My son was always trying to climb up my legs while I was busy in the kitchen. The funpod allows him to be at the perfect height to see what is going on safely. He loves it!
Fantastic product. It is very stable and I'm confident our son is safe inside. It only arrived this week and already my 17month old loves it. He has been watching us preparing meals and baking (while taste testing). I can't wait to start baking together!

Menopauza and the Sexual Engine Usually studied, But Answers, Are not clear
Many women have problems about menopauze and the sexual engine. During time menopauzy the anxiety, depression and physical signs, such as vlagalishchnaya a drought can mention the sexual engine of the woman.
The research executed by Department of Psychiatry at university of Melbourn in Victoria, Australia has finished that there was "a drama decrease in female sexual functioning with natural menopauzal'nym transition." Other researches have finished that libido, more possibly, will decrease during concerning the period after menopauzy the period than perimenopausal the period. In other words, the sexual engine of the woman, possibly, will be more low within years after menopauzy than years, leading menopauze.
Researchers investigated many factors which can mention the sexual engine of the woman during time menopauzy. Anxiety, depression, the relation, a way of life, a diet and levels of realisation among them. Women who have a negative relation to, apparently, more possibly, have a difficulty, reaching orgazma. During time menopauzy the anxiety, depression and other emotional problems, possibly, will have an affect, not only on the sexual engine of the woman, but also on many aspects of her life.
Depression is more widespread in women than in men. Many medicines were in the habit to consider sensitivity of reduction of depression in genitals of the woman, causing difficulty in achievement orgazma. Lower hormonal levels during time menopauzy, especially low levels testosterona, can cause the reduced sensitivity also. Some women are still confused to discuss these problems with their doctors.
The anxiety, anxiety and pressure can forbid ability of the woman to relax. Calming medicines often cause drowsiness and can forbid the sexual engine of the woman further.
Researchers often use the term "the negative relation to itself", discussing problems, such as menopauza and the sexual engine. This negative relation is close adhered to events orgazma women. Regular realisation can improve the relation of the woman to, its full good state of health and its sexual engine.
The good food plays a role in all aspects of a life of the woman. The inadequate quantity of essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids and microcells can increase depression and reduce levels of energy and the sexual engine. Superfluous consumption of caffeine, alcohol, salty and red meat can increase anxiety levels, a blood pressure and ability to relax.
Vlagalishchnaja drought and utonchenie promote painful dialogue, further reducing the sexual engine of the woman. From many factors connected with menopauzoy and the sexual engine, vlagalishchnaya a drought – one of the lungs to consider. Many products exist to reduce a drought. Hormonal therapy of replacement can reduce utonchenie, but because of many health risks, with which it is connected, cream estradiola or a ring are usually recommended.
On the positive note not all women test reduction in the sexual engine during time or after menopauzy. There is no risk of pregnancy after menopauzy More. Children are typically grown up and from the house, meaning that is more than a private life. No periods mean the disorder and any anxiety. For these women, having the healthy partner their primary anxiety.
Researchers still investigate relations between menopauzoy and the sexual engine. There are many natural grassy and botanical products in the market which can improve sexual events of the woman. To learn it is more about them, please visit guide PMS and Menopauza.

Today, we find out his next project titled THE SIDE EFFECT will star the beautiful and extremely talented Liv Tyler. To hell with STRANGERS 2 I say! Once again, I am as happy as one horror fan can be. Please, no more straight to video releases here or VOD (Video On Demand), we need to see Ti West movies in theaters and I have a feeling we may finally get our wish.
According to Arrowinthehead.com (AITH),
In THE SIDE EFFECT, Tyler will play Catherine Rigby, a woman who spends several months alone in space as an experimental subject for a global pharmaceutical company, and finds herself inexplicably pregnant. Paranoia and hysteria reign as the truth behind conception grows more elusive and she remains stranded in space.
West had this to say about the project: "Although it is still somewhat of a horror film, it is much more psychological than any of my previous efforts... It was essential that I find an actress who could portray a wide range of emotion and always earn the audience's sympathy no matter what the situation. As soon as I sat down with Liv, it was obvious she was the one."
Stay tuned for more information on this story as we will be following it like buzzards on a rotting corpse!

Im struggling to understand the best way to store my collection of objects.
Currently I am using a NSArray as it allows me to easily sort them for displaying in a tableview. But as it turns out I also need the ability to look individual objects up from the collection using a key - which requires a NSDictionary.
Is there anyway to get the best of both worlds here??

A balloon, paper strips, and some glue makes for a cheery Easter egg basket!
Watch Dora Every Day on Nick Jr.
Blow up the balloon, stopping while it is still an oval shape. (As the balloon gets bigger, it gets rounder).
Tear newsprint in strips. Set out a small bowl of the slightly diluted craft glue or ModPodge.
Apply one strip at a time to the balloon, painting it lightly with glue. TIP: Use the glue very sparingly or your balloon will sag and shrink, and it will take too long to dry. Do this until the balloon is covered in 3 layers of paper. Set aside to dry overnight.
Once dry, prick the balloon with a pin. Then, using a craft knife, cut the papier mache shape in half, lengthwise. (Ths part is for parents only.) Set aside one half. Paint the other half, both inside and out. Let the papier mache basket dry.
Glue the fuzzy trim to the outer rim of the painted papier mache basket.
Cut a wide strip of cardstock to create a handle. Cut two pieces of wide decorative ribbon and glue them to the cardstock handle. Glue the handle INSIDE the egg. Let dry.
Print the Dora image on cardstock. If you don't have cardstock, glue construction paper to the back of image so that it can stand upright. Glue small decorative Dora stickers to the handle if desired.
Fill the basket with Easter grass and eggs. Insert the Dora cut-out. If you�re giving the basket away as a gift, inscribe the back of the Dora cut-out with a springtime message.

From its beginnings, the Boy Scouts of America had a strong foundation of woodcraft, nature study, and conservation. Many activities in Scouting come from activities of Native Americans. Many of the principles that Scouts uphold come from the conservation ethics of early founders, in particular Ernest Thompson Seton and Daniel Carter Beard. The BSA has taught more than 110 million young environmentalists throughout its history. Currently, with nearly 5 million members, the BSA continues to train the youth of America in principles of conservation and environmental science.
|While earning the Environmental Science merit badge, Scouts will get a taste of what it is like to be an environmental scientist, making observations and carrying out experiments to investigate the natural world.
Environmental Science is one of the required merit badges for the World Conservation Award for Boy Scouts, and one of the required merit badges for the William T. Hornaday awards for Boy Scouts and Varsity Scouts.

... Seems like a sensible enough option to me. It'd be difficult trying to learn anything with a rabid horde of fans and groupies swarming you at every turn.
Johnny Manziel taking all Texas A&M classes online
Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel told reporters prior to receiving the Davey O'Brien Quarterback Award Monday that he's taking all classes online this semester and only comes to campus about once a week.
Manziel said the commotion that followed his breakthrough season as Heisman Trophy winner during Texas A&M's inaugural SEC season was unexpected. Too many students asking for photo opps and autographs made class environments nearly impossible for other students and professors.
"I didn't think anything of it, and it kind of turned into a little more of a big deal than I thought," Manziel said, according to the Associated Press.
His online course load meets NCAA and university regulations. Manziel and his parents met with athletic director Eric Hyman and Texas A&M compliance officials regarding his on-campus challenges and his off-season life that included trips to the Super Bowl and the NBA All-Star Game.
"I feel like by now if I was doing something wrong, compliance would have definitely figured something out," Manziel said
You guys are all morons. Did you once think maybe he takes online classes so he can train harder? All I on here is bitter old guys who talk smack cuz they never had the success this young man has in front of him. To be frank, online classes are the future of education. Now if he was taking online classes because he is on house arrest then I'd see a problem but he didn't do anything wrong, all he did was choose to take classes online. Big deal. He might not be a NFL great one day. He might be the greatest of all time. Ryan Leaf was supposed to incredible and he is in jail. Hardly anyone thought Tom Brady was anything better than a reliable back up. Let him make his own fate...
Manziel MAY want to getting fitted for a MUCH larger helmet! Note that he had a GREAT college football season. Note also that many college QBs are successful and have little to no success in the NFL. (Just listing Heisman winning QBs with no NFL success would be too easy, so let's not bother). Note also that Manziel does not have an NFL type body for a QB. Manziel MAY want to reconsider his responsibilities and grow up a little.
At this point, I give Manziel about a 50-50 chance of being successful in the NFL. Otherwise, it's the CFL, or an actual job. Hopefully all those online course will prepare him for that! What a waste of a college experience.
For those of you who think Manziel is an NFL HOF type player waiting until he can apply for the draft, please look at ALL the Heisman winning QBs with a similar height and weight as Manziel. His success in the NFL is ABSOLUTELY NOT guaranteed. (No disrespect, just calling it like it is).
Do the crowds stop him from going to the local hangouts???????? They didn't stop him from attending the Super Bowl.
This young man has not a singe ethical bone in his body. Who is actually taking the classes.. Mark my words, he will be in the news again....another law violation or something totally inappropriate like taking money. Larry
Just a great academic school that Texas A&M
I guess they kicked him off campus. So he can study at his on pace.
@John4 Could you sound like a bigger negative b!tch on here or what? What's your point and who cares? Those are the two questions you should ask yourself before posting on here.
... want to get fitted ...
I was typing faster than I should have.
@LarrySirhall Just marked it down. I'll come back to this site just to congratulate you when you're right.
@alhmiel Actually, academically, it's not bad at all. You should look it up. Also note that almost all Universities offer online courses.
John Pee - just eff off. I said nothing negative. I had a comical comment about Manziel having a big head, then followed up with the FACT that he's NOT a given for the NFL. He does not have an NFL body. Also, there have been many Heisman winning QBs who had little to no success in the NFL. (White, Crouch). Note that taking ALL online courses takes away from the college experience, especially if he's only going to campus once a week. (He seems to put in far more than one public appearance per week, and they do not seem to be a problem at all). Photos and Autographs on campus. Kind of like EVERY Heisman winner who returns to college for another year or two. Why is that such a burden for Manzeil, but more importantly, John Pee, why are you such a B !TCH?
@JohnP @John4 Don't hate on someone who simply gives you facts. Manziel is great in college. So was Tommy Frazier, Tim Tebow, and a hundred other guys who were not well suited to the NFL game. It's no slight to JM. You are the one sounding like a b!tch when you whine about someone bringing knowledge.

The Virginia women's basketball team will honor its winningest coach and its all-time leading scorer at halftime of the Cavaliers' season opener against James Madison.
Monica Wright -- who graduated from Virginia in 2010 with 2,540 career points, the highest total in program history -- will have her No. 22 retired by the Cavaliers at halftime of the JMU game. Wright will become the fifth player in program history to have her number retired, joining Donna Holt (11), Dawn Staley (24), Cathy Grimes (25) and Wendy Palmer (31).
Wright averaged 23.7 points and 6.4 rebounds per game as a senior, earning the ACC player of the year and defensive player of the year awards, as well as multiple first team All-America honors. She was the No. 2 overall pick of the WNBA draft that April by the Minnesota Lynx.
During that same halftime ceremony, Wright's college coach, Debbie Ryan, will have her accomplishments recognized with a new banner that will hang at John Paul Jones Arena.
Ryan stepped down as Virginia coach following the 2010-11 season, her 34th as the Cavaliers' head coach. Ryan earned seven ACC coach of the year awards during her tenure at Virginia, and led the Cavaliers to 739 wins. Her teams reached the NCAA Tournament 24 times, including 12 Sweet 16 appearances and three trips to the Final Four.

It's unbelievable how an NPD acts (or doesn't act) during your time of need. If it's not all about them......well......it's not all about them.
They are unbelievably cold, cruel, and USELESS during YOUR crisis.
I remember going through similar times with my XNPDH. My grandfather was in a rest home and was dying a slow death. :( It was such a difficult time for our whole family. Do you think Dumbass was there to support me? No (shock!!) If this wasn't bad enough, I was also facing the dreaded task of putting my 16 year old beloved doggie to sleep. Do you think he was there for that? Nope. Then to top it all off, my best friend was killed in a horrible automobile accident. Again, not much from Dumbass.
While I was gone he took that opportunity - NPD alert! - to "organize" the kitchen pantry for me.
Wow. I don't remember the timing of when he did this, but Dumbass did the same "favor" for me. And like you, I was absolutely FURIOUS.

When another woman takes your husband,
sometimes the best thing you can do for
yourself is to LET HER HAVE the worthless
OC born 2001
Divorced 2003
Remarried 2008 (New Guy)
I am so glad you can come here and get that off your chest and out of your mind! You are a strong and wise woman, and I am sure your daddy would be very proud of you walking away from that asshat of a fuckwad man. Pour a glass of wine anytime you want, your cyber-friend Charlie will toast your freedom anyday
I know you'll all be absolutely stunned by my first bit of news. The trial was continued again. Now it's on for the 7th of Feb. The reasons given were his public defender had been ill and could not hear, and could not possibly go to trial because she wasn't ready: she hadn't interviewed us. So we had to go to the prosecutor's office and sit through an asinine questioning by this woman who is so unprofessional you wouldn't believe it. I am actually glad my STBXN is stuck with her. Some examples of her "interview"....
To my DIL:
How do you know SoHurt? (She's my MIL... )
How do you know her youngest son? (He's my BIL... )
To my oldest son:
How do you know SoHurt? ( )
How do you know her youngest son? ( )
To me:
Aren't you in the middle of a bitter divorce? (Well, it's a divorce. )
Aren't you in the middle of a custody battle? (No, I have custody. And my son wants me to have custody. )
Why are you scared of STBX? (Prosecutor wouldn't let me answer this, but said later if she asks while I'm on the stand, to start talking and don't stop unless the judge tells me to. )
Are you and *the man he accused me of leaving him for, who was present that day* boyfriend and girlfriend? ( No. Was so tempted to ask if we are in high school right now. And doesn't that put the lie to STBX saying he never said that?)
I'd have to say her hearing seemed to be excellent, btw.
There were so many unbelievably stupid questions asked that day. The prosecutor says she's very unlikeable, disagreeable, and is not having her contract renewed. Although, I have to admit that the thought of her "defending" criminals makes me wish she would continue.
Anyway, it was interesting to meet her ahead of time, and to learn that I'll be allowed to speak at sentencing about everything he's done is a wonderful feeling. Believe me, I'm already writing that novel. I'm not so scared of testifying now. She is going to go down in flames right alongside STBX.
Charlie, I love your tagline. I'm and in agreement.
Wont, I loved this:
The effects of his disease are like gas when you ate that food when you shouldn't have. He is nothing more.
Kajem, this is a great visual for me:
Think of us standing behind you in the gallery-giving your X the evil eye.
MR2M, you NAILED it:
Arrogant is an understatement
jj, you always say the coolest things, and I want to put this on a beautiful sheet of paper and frame it on my wall. I love it so much I think I'll post it again:
a needle in my iris
still I'll pull it out
red blood on wiggled fingertips
I pulled it out.
Scar forms wherever healing lies
I pulled it out.
In some scarring screaming
hears GLAD you pulled it out.
Our hearts are better.
Our hearts are better.
Nature_Girl, !!!
I'm so sorry to hear about your dad and everything you are dealing with. My heart and prayers are with you.
angerisme, this is my STBX's favorite tactic!:
"circular speech"
This Tribe is the best, and I am so glad I am here. I'd never have gotten this far without you all. I feel so much stronger and wiser, more like the old me, than I have in forever! And it looks like my youngest and I have an apartment to move into on the 28th! We are both so excited and so ready to move on. This is going to be another step towards complete freedom!
Thank you all. SO much!

I totally want rights to the title... since "Vampire Diaries" was taken, as was the "Neverending Story" and "Vagina Monologues" I am stumped. How about
"C*nt Whisperer"...
Anyone want to play along? I could really use a laugh!!
But as you write about it all so well, so we can enjoy it second hand from you.
Huge, my lovely - the finish line is in sight, pace yourself for this last stretch.
Edie... I wish you could be with me, too. But I'll settle for having you behind me in spirit, cheering me on. I am feeling so positive, I can't tell you! It will be nice to have all this behind me, and finally start living for myself and my son, rather than the next court date. It just gets old.
Love my (((((Tribe!)))))
Anyhow, I found out that two people that he is involved with were friends of mine, yada yada yada and he has to go NC with over.20.people. AYFKM? He also admitted to spying on me.
I told him that he is not to tell me his personal stories anymore, NC except business and kids. I kept it civil and calm, even when he was telling me how angry I am (I wasn't) and that he doesn't want me to be afraid of him (yes, he does. That is why he threatened my life). I answered, "I'm not afraid to see you, I just don't want to see you. Ever." He didn't like that... Anyway, I cut the call off with, business and kids is all we need to discuss and felt good about it all. I had a minor episode of colorful language, and then I blocked his whores from my facebook with this message:
"I hope you never understand the deep level of betrayal that comes with your husband encouraging you to be friends with one of his girlfriends. I'll never understand what it takes to sit on top of a married man and try to call him your own, so I'm calling a spade a spade, and a whore a whore. Do not ever contact me or my children again."
Thanks, tribe, just needed to vent a little. To quote my favorite line of Tombstone... "Forgive me if I don't shake hands"
DO Not keep calm and carry on...
Put on your big girl panties & your sexiest boots and kick some ass.
Put on your big girl panties & your sexiest boots and kick some ass.
I love it and thought I would share with the Tribe.
Btw, it was in a group message... kind of outing them to each other in my own way.
Good, I wonder if he will call and confess to them....
I would love to be a fly on that wall....
However, during the time of his first A (says it was an EA, but I don't know), which lasted for over a year, he was absolutely horrible to me. The problem is that I can say that, and remember it was true, but it was 7 to 8 years ago, so it's hard for me to remember details, other than that he said nasty things and acted like I didn't deserve any help with the baby, and....I don't know. It doesn't sound bad, but he was AWFUL to me. He was so awful to me that I was afraid he would kill me and make it look like a suicide. However, I told myself I was crazy, because it's quite a leap from "my husband isn't loving towards me" to "my husband is a dangerous and who might kill me". And he was right on the "you're so crazy" bandwagon, because I *knew* he was having an A, so any time I asked questions, he gaslighted and told me I had issues and was crazy. That made it easy to believe that yeah, I must be really crazy to think he might hurt me. I'm still not sure about that.
What say you folks?
I say welcome to the tribe :) I've followed several posts of yours and am very glad to see you here. My STBX is very successful at work, has a Master's Degree and until last year was well respected bc of the mask he could put on. The first 9 years of our marriage, he never laid a hand on me and was more passive-aggressive I would say. I felt like *I* was the crazy one, I thought *I* had the problems because he really could make himself look that good. You don't have to have outward bruises to have suffered at the hands of a narcissist. I, unfortunately, stayed around too long out of moral obligation to my marriage and believing in the return of the man I fell in love with.
Your STBX seems very emotionally distant, controlling, and unrealistic, to say the least. Welcome to the tribe, with each other we will all get through
Also, I'm really, really, REALLY angry that some of my friends (should probably be in quotation marks, at this point) are seemingly trying to shame me into silence about his behavior. Most things he does I don't slap all over Facebook, but if a friend asks me how I'm doing, I tell them. Some of these friends responses when they bother to ask, and I tell what stupid shit he's up to lately.... I can just feel the deer in headlights look on their faces over the internet, and they say things like, "Yeah.... Aloha then! Take care." As if I was out of line telling them. Why the hell did they ask then? And why am I not allowed to talk about it? This isn't "drama"; this is my freakin life, and I'm sorry it makes people uncomfortable, but how the hell do they think it makes ME feel, and why should *I* be ashamed of how *he* acts? Ugh! That sort of behavior is, in my opinion, a big contributing factor to asshole like ours getting away with so much. No one even wants to hear about it, much less put them in their place.
What's up with that?????
My husband, too, encouraged me to be friends with his girlfriend. This is the hardest part of all.
But, today, I finally turned a corner. When I started thinking about it,, I thought, he's sick! And it finally got thru to my brain. He's sick and this is what sick people do...
[This message edited by Coraline at 9:27 PM, January 21st (Monday)]
The character trait for NPD is lack of empathy ... they have NO empathy for anyone/anything.
My X doesn't care about if his kids are hurt as long as I am hurt everyone else is collateral damage. And they do not matter one bit to him. So long as he wins...everything is good.
Hope this helps.
And Coraline, I haven't read all your posts... but a lot of them. Your H is NPD... Welcome to the tribe.

Cruise Departure Dates:
2014: Oct 9,19, Nov 8,18, Dec 8,18
2015: Jan 27, Feb 6,16
Enjoy a private airport transfer.
Situated in the center of Tahiti's Papeete area, near Lafayette Beach, the Radisson Plaza Resort is a refreshing vacation getaway. The 165 rooms use Polynesian influences mingled with contemporary charms. All rooms feature balconies, and one may be privy to views of arching dolphins and whales in the water below. Fresh seafood and local produce make for remarkable culinary excursions. Guests are served by friendly staff, both indoors and outdoors, with twists of French and Asian spices in each dish. A variety of facilities are offered at the hotel, with an outdoor Jacuzzi and lagoon pool. Shop at the onsite stores and visit the crafts area full of displays.
Take a half day private tour of Tahiti with an expert guide to introduce you to the island's "secret ingredients." For starters, tell your guide what you enjoy doing and what you would like to see on your tour and he will create a customised trip filled with culture, history, a splash of nature, botany, a hint of geography, music and anything else that takes your fancy.
Meet your driver for a port transfer with private vehicle and driver.
Welcome aboard!Take some time to get settled in to your stateroom, and enjoy a leisurely evening on board as you meet some of your fellow cruisemates at your welcome dinner. You'll overnight in the port, allowing time for exploration in Papeete tomorrow before you set out on your cruise.
Port charges are included in your itinerary fare.
While Pacific Princess features space onboard for just 680 passengers, she doesn't skimp on amenities. As one of the Small Ships of Princess, this intimate ship offers two incredible specialty restaurants onboard, Sterling SteakhouseSM and Sabatini'sSM, both with great tasting food to enhance your night out. In the main dining rooms, Traditional Dining offers an authentic cruising experience where the same friendly waitstaff serve you each night as you get to know your fellow tablemates. The ship offers the deluxe amenities you'd expect from a first class hotel: from 24-hour room service to chocolates on your pillow at night.
Papeete ("water from a basket") is the capital of French Polynesia, an overseas territory of France in the Pacific Ocean. The commune (municipality) of Papeete is located on the island of Tahiti. Traveling tourists arrive and depart Papeete via cruise ship at Papeete Harbor or domestic airline at Faa'a International Airport, which was completed and opened in 1962. The downtown features some fine churches and a market, though Tahiti is most known for its secluded ocean beaches.
Huahine is an island located among the Society Islands, in French Polynesia, an overseas territory of France in the Pacific Ocean. It is part of the Leeward Islands group (Iles sous le Vent). The island is 16 km in length, with a maximum width of 13 km. It is made up of two main islands surrounded by a fringing coral reef with several motu. Huahine Nui (Big Huahine) lies to the north and Huahine Iti (Little Huahine) to the south connected by a small bridge.
Today is a full day spent at sea as you cruise toward Rangiroa. At the on-board Lotus Spa you can opt to get pampered from head to toe for an hour of bliss, or the entire day. Or, spend some time libering up with a personal trainer in the world-class floating gym.
Rangiroa (meaning Vast Sky in Tuamotuan) or Te Kokota (Hyades in Maori), is the largest atoll in the Tuamotus, and one of the largest in the world (although it is smaller than Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands and Huvadhu in the Maldives). It is part of the Palliser group. The nearest atoll is Tikehau, located only 12 km to the West. It is about 355 km Northeast of Tahiti. The chief town is Avatoru, located in the northwestern part of the atoll.
Spend today at sea, sailing toward Raiatea, your port-of-call tomorrow. Enjoy the intimate and exciting venues aboard your ship, including the Club Bar, Tahitian Lounge, or the always-buzzing onboard Casino.
Raiatea is the second largest of the Society Islands in French Polynesia. The proper spelling of the name, rarely used though, in the Tahitian language is Ra'iatea, meaning bright sky. The chief town on Raiatea is Uturoa, administrative center for the Leeward Islands (French Îles Sous-le-vent). Ra'iatea is widely regarded as the 'center' of Polynesia and it is likely that the organised migrations to Hawaii, Aoteroa (New Zealand) and other parts of East Polynesia started here.
Bora Bora is an island in the Leeward group of the Society Islands of French Polynesia, an overseas territory of France in the Pacific Ocean. The island, located about 230 kilometres (140 mi) northwest of Papeete, is surrounded by a lagoon and a barrier reef. In the center of the island are the remnants of an extinct volcano rising to two peaks, Mount Pahia and Mount Otemanu. Overwater bungalows are a standard feature of most Bora Bora resorts. The island is famous for snorkelling and scuba diving in and around its lagoon.
Another full day on Bora Bora, often considered the true "paradise" of French Polynesia, and even the entire South Pacific. Relax on the beach or feel free to explore inward. This is truly a magnificent place.
Moorea is a high island in French Polynesia, part of the Society Islands, 17 km (roughly 9mi) northwest of Tahiti. Because of its stunning scenery and accessibility to Papeete, Moorea is particularly popular as a honeymoon destination. The island vaguely resembles a fork, with its two nearly symmetrical bays opening to the north side of the island: Cook's (or Paopao) Bay and Oponohu Bay.
After a short cruise from Moorea, you'll arrive back in Papeete this evening, for overnight on board.
This morning you'll disembark from your ship and bid farewell to your fellow cruisemates.
