March 22, 2011
Husband: The Snip and resulting emotional stuff; temporary layoff if government shut-down takes place; still a contractor instead of a regular employee, despite repeated employer promises to change this
Parents: scary medical drama followed by resulting scary financial drama
Rob: orthodontic appliance keeps breaking and I have to keep calling about it and taking him out of school for appointments; pre-teen issues such as backtalking and disrespectful arguing that pushes my buttons in a way that makes me think I'm not going to do a good job parenting the teen years
Will: the birthday party (now over); several years' worth of progress reports mentioning problems with focusing, starting to make me feel like we need to do something about it
Elizabeth: storming off, slamming doors, screaming---at even SMALL things
Edward: my mom read a book about dyslexia and now thinks Edward and William have it
Henry: constantly talks about video games and shooting; starting preschool in the fall; doesn't obey until the nth time he's told
All kids: I'm not remembering to teach them everything they need to know; they should have been born to a family that could manage them better; summer camp dithering (choosing which ones, and it's SO EXPENSIVE and involves so much hassle); upcoming dental visits without dental insurance; video games becoming a problem again
Mouse (the cat): dying, vet thinks probably cancer (and says treatment wouldn't make sense for an underweight 16-year-old cat with other health issues already); in the meantime, using the entire house as her litterbox; vet is going to call to check in, so I'm constantly jumpy about the phone maybe ringing
Benchley (the cat): repeatedly going into the neighbors' yards (they don't want him to, and expect us to...tell him not to, I guess); harassing Mouse; vet says he's "chunky" and has really bad teeth for his age ($$)
Fish: acting weird
Minivan: I finally got the broken-off door handle (parking lot incident) replaced, and it doesn't work from the inside---but we only just discovered that (kids always get out on the other side), and it's been AGES so I feel dumb calling about it and asking the place to redo it (they'll think we just broke it again, because how would we not know about this for 8 months?)
Car: check-engine light took $1200 to fix, and then it was still on when we got the car back; place can't figure out what's wrong after 3 days (5 including the weekend); we've been managing with one car for 2 weeks now, getting rides from my parents every day to get the twins to kindergarten; we have to pick up the car today no matter what (parents can't drive tomorrow), and what if they charge us for all the labor involved in not being able to fix the problem? and now we'll need to somehow get it to the bigger city place, which will mean a 2-car hour-long round-trip for each pick-up and drop-off
Doctor: I have to go tomorrow for a physical, and my doctor has trouble with English, and I have trouble with doctors already (scared, worried about communicating issues effectively); also, my call to make the appointment was an enormous catastrophe, so that I'm still having furious imaginary conversations with the receptionist two weeks later (we can't really switch doctors or I WOULD HAVE, because that is an easy solution to think of)
Taxes: not done
House: the chaos of the rearranging; everything that still needs to be done; "living out of suitcase" feeling while those things remain undone; constant small repairs cropping up that we don't deal with; constant cleaning needed
That no-carb book I read: resulting food stress
Other books: three in a row with totally unsatisfying endings, plus one I couldn't even get through at all, plus one about a fat woman, which portrayed her as going to the grocery store, bakery, and fast-food places DAILY and constantly shoving massive quantities of food into her mouth (the Hollywood idea of what fat people need to do to stay so fat)
The world: full of constant disaster and constant cruelty
Other: possible impending UTI (and the possible impending argument with the doctor over me not wanting to pay my $150 share of a $500 lab test that checks only to see if she's prescribed the right medicine---which, presumably, we would know FOR FREE in a couple of days); all the phone calls I've had to make for so many of these things
Then I didn't give him the list. Instead I said, "Because every single area of my life has something either sad or crabby happening. That's why."
However, that left out several important things:
1. It's Cadbury Egg season
2. My brother and sister-in-law are having another baby, and it's a BOY
3. Maeve Binchy's new book due to arrive in today's mail
4. The peperoncini roast EVERYONE HAS BEEN MAKING is in the crockpot
5. Chunky, bad-teethed, plush warm cat sitting on my lap and purring and giving me love-eyes

I've been feeling like that about my life lately too - different issues, same angst. It sucks. I keep thinking warmer weather and sunshine will help, but it's been nice the last few days and I still just want to sit in my house and hide.
But...thank you for brightening my day a bit. I didn't know Maeve had a new book out. I'm heading to amazon now to treat myself!

Okay, your list and mine are far too similar even though they are totally different. One POSSIBLE solution for the car door handle is that there is a child lock on it that has to be flipped "on" (possibly it is hidden). You have probably already thought of this -- but I had the same problem for a long time and didn't think about it. Getting even one thing off the list would be great.
Good luck!

OOH! Nephstle!(?) Congratulations!
And I've been feeling exactly the same way. I'm hoping it's just this time of year, neither winter nor spring, getting to me.

I'm sorry that so many areas are crabby/sad right now. Sending hugs and happy thoughts your way.
The only area I have experience in is cat using house as bathroom (Momo was a pain in the butt to train until we figured out a rigorous litterbox cleaning system that was to prince Momo's liking). We got a Dreambaby Gate in Extra Tall (cats can't jump over), restricted him to a room with less furniture to destroy, and put a small pile of old towels down since he liked to pee on laundry - that way he still got to pee, but it wasn't all over a pile of expensive dry clean only clothes or whatever (not that I own anything dry clean only, but you get the gist). Hope that helps!
- Mar 22, 2011, 8:48:00 AM
I'm sorry you have it so rough right now :( But I'm curious what he said? Did he even read it? I could probably make a list of things that are making me anxious that's just as long (and very similar!)

Hmm, now I will seem like a copycat when I air my grievances today. It seems like everyone is on the same miserable wavelength.
I'm fairly certain that the Cadbury Eggs will help.

Totally. I know. Sometimes 7000 little (and not so little) things make EVERYTHING hard.
Have you tried the Cadbury eggs with the orange filling? You can't find them everywhere, but oh, my God.

- Lisa said...
May I commiserate with you? Lately things have been very annoying here as well, and they all involve stuff I can't blog about. I have put on a few lbs because I keep making cookies, which my husband is now referring to as "the agita cookies."
My husband is interviewing for a new job, which has a giant backstory I won't bore you with, but its making me very nervous and this is a long process that is expected to drag on for weeks. His first interview is this afternoon, and he slept peacefully all through the night while I stared at the ceiling till 1 am and then got up 6 times with the kids, all the while me being nervous about this interview.
This actually relates to Issue #2. I am having some family issues (we live with extended family) and since I have said all I can tactfully and have been purposely ignored I am stuffing my mouth with cookies so as not to say any of the furious dialog I have been having in my mind for the past few weeks. If my husband gets the job we can buy our own house, but we won't know for weeks, and if he doesn't get it then we have to stay here...oh, the agita.
Come on over, I'll share my agita cookies.

The new nephew is exciting though!
- Mar 22, 2011, 9:35:00 AM
Ugh. I hope some of these stresses are relieved in the very near future! And thanks for sharing all this-I often find your posts to be soothing. (It sounds kind of weird that I find your stress soothing- I don't mean it that way. I guess I mean there is strength in numbers and to know that other people have hard times and find their way out makes me feel motivated and hopeful. Of course, I don't want you to have anxiety in your life!!) I know exactly how you feel- I've had times when every aspect of my life makes me anxious. I'll think about something, get stressed about it, decide to think about something else, only to find the new thought topic is stressful too. Sometimes I don't know how to run away from stress because there is nothing I can do about it- it is often dependent on outside sources. So frustrating. Anyway I hope things improve soon!

Diniwilks- Oh, good idea about the towels! I have some in the donate pile RIGHT NOW, and could put one in a plastic dishpan or something right near the heating pad we've set up for her to sleep on. Maybe then she would stop peeing on the NEW CARPET.

Jen(melty)- After I looked at the list I'd made, I just gave him the summary ("Everything IS sad and crabby, that's why"). You should make your list---I miss your blog, and I totally agree with Nicole that it's soothing to read other people's stressy stuff.

My sympathies. Sincerely.
the cat in the yard thing i can maybe help with? you take an empty can and put coins or gravel in it tape the opening and then shake the bejezzuzes out of it at them. They HATES it. Give the neighbor one, it'll settle them down and give them something to do besides whine about it.
A virtual fist bump to you for coming up with 4 good things for balance.

I made that roast yesterday! I put it on rolls with cheese and put them under the broiler... and only one out of five kids complained. I consider that a success. I have been very sad/crabby as well. Thus the reason I haven't posted to my blog in over a month. Sending good thoughts your way. :)

Dear Swistle, I am so sad we are not real life friends. We really should be because I swear you are me and I am you!
I am just coming out of a two and a half week crabby/ill patch that was utterly and completely miserable. I was sick, sick of my family, sick of myself. EVERYTHING seemed TOO MUCH TO BEAR and I found myself wishing women still had the luxury of nervous breakdowns. At least they got to go to a hospital, even if they probably did get the s(#t shocked out of them or something.
Re: William and Edward. I would wager that this is a huge stress for you. We have been going through a similar thing at our house with our third grader and the amount of stress and worry and angst I feel over this has been truly epic. Like nothing else I have ever felt parenting-wise, and this worry affected EVERY OTHER AREA of my life. If you want to discuss, email me.
While you are at it, email me anyway. I want to send you a couple of things.

You've got a lot going on. I'd be sad and crabby, too.

Leeann- YES, we totally need to revive an old custom. We could call it "nerve trouble," and need to go to the seaside to recover!

- Kristin said...
I'm sorry Swistle. I am just coming out of a couple month run of sad/crabby/everything that can go wrong will. I prescribe Cadbury eggs and the alcohol of your choosing. Hope things get better soon.

I keep forgetting about Easter candy! Must procure some, stat.
I would be extremely crabby if I had this list, too. Especially that so many of the list items require phone calls -- each time you get one of those calls over with, you should get a nice reward, like extra kid-free shopping time at Target.
- Mar 22, 2011, 10:33:00 AM
- Lindsay said...
For my nerves, I take to my bed. And eat Cadbury eggs.
I was just telling someone last night that I have just become accustomed to my constant state of worry, and that I hardly believe things could ever go smoothly.
I want to acknowledge that that is indeed kind of a sucky list, and those stresses are real. It's not like there's something the matter with you, and you are making it up. Being a caregiver is REALLY HARD.
Good Luck, Hang in there, Hugs, and all that good stuff.
- Mar 22, 2011, 10:36:00 AM
- Rah said...
Geeeez, that list would make anyone blue! Sorry things have concentrated into such an intense NOW. No wisdom to offer, just good thoughts. Take care of yourself--if the seaside isn't an option, is there an acceptable substitute?

- Marie Green said...
Ugg. Your list IS stressful. Of COURSE you're crabby... anyone would be.
I wrote this on Jonniker's blog too, but it's on my mind so much and this post ALSO reminds me of it: A good friend of mine is a psychologist, and she's been talking about how fish get stunned and paralyzed when the seasons change (especially when they go from cold to warm) and literally can't move. I guess some studies are showing the human brain does this too. Like, we get "stuck", paralyzed feeling, and it results in feeling panicked, stressed, overwhelmed, and like everything is HARD.
While your list is TOTALLY LEGIT as far as stressors go, I'm wondering if this time of year, combined with all of that, only makes every bad thing seem even worse? Because our brains are a little stunned and paralyzed, so we're "stuck"? I've been seeing ALL KINDS of this type of post lately-- it definitely seems like many of us have our own LISTS right now...
In any case, I really wish I could come over, or perhaps better yet, you could come HERE, and I'm make you yummy Keurig coffee and we'd let the little kids play and we'd eat chocolates and commiserate. Hope things get better soon... and email if you want to vent further.
Also, I hope your parents are ok.

Re: Paul's job. I know exactly what you are going through. EXACTLY. Only we got pushed one step further and have been unemployed since October.
Government IT contract? Never. Again.
So, I can see why that would make you crabby. Yes, I can.
- Mar 22, 2011, 11:03:00 AM
- Marie Green said...
Oh! And also, I used to think that nothing could beat the Cadbury caramel egg (the regular sized one)... until last year when I had the Cadbury mini-eggs in milk chocolate. OH MY GOD. You've probably tried them, but if not, please take yourself to Target today and get some. (We're on our 3rd bag of them around here.)
My other favorite Easter candy is the SweetTarts jelly beans. So sour and yum. (I haven't found them anywhere yet this year. WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?)

I was going to suggest you get your hands on "Minding Frankie" because I just finished it and it was lovely. Lots of sad bits and not quite as in depth with any of the characters as she usually goes...but overall very satisfying.
Don't know if it would help, but I always make a list to take with me to the doctor's office for my physical. Otherwise she asks me how I'm doing and I say "fine". I'm still just blown away by how much you guys pay for medical stuff in the US. The other day we had to take my daughter for a whole battery of tests - x-ray, ultrasound, blood work, urine analysis, plus the visit to the specialist. No bill for any of this. Granted the referral to the specialist took a couple months, but once she'd been seen all the tests were done the next day, and we had the results back, plus a treatment plan within the week. Sorry for going on like this, it just shocks me that you guys have to pay so much money.
BTW, you're gorgeous, and funny, and it's all going to work out fine.

I am stressed the hell out in many areas of my life as well right now, so I empathize. But YAYAYAYAYAY for a new nephew! That should alleviate a big part of the crabbiness right there!

These lists really are soothing.
I'm so glad I read the comments, too, because NERVE TROUBLE! Heh.
I cannot believe you have to have a PHYSICAL too. That just seems...TOO MUCH TO BEAR.
- Mar 22, 2011, 11:25:00 AM
No wonder you feel stressed and crabby, I hope things get better soon for you.
Have you read the Flavia De Luce mysteries by Alan Bradley? I am a bit late to the party with them, and they are wonderful. The first one is Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie-I actually read them out of order by mistake, but no harm done. Anyway, Flavia is one of the very best characters ever, and she might help lift you out of the doldrums.

- Pickles and Dimes said...
I'm sorry you have so much on your plate - ugh. I hope a bunch of nice things happen to even the scales. In the meantime, release the Cadbury Eggs!
Sometimes I think I deal so much better with one major issue than dozens of lesser, annoying ones. Those are the ones that break me.
Right now, I have a list similar to yours and while almost all of the items could be so much worse, it's frustrating that they're happening at all.
Oh, the furnace isn't working? Well, I guess I'm supposed to be happy that it got fixed vs. being annoyed that I had to wait all day for the repair guy. Oh, we owe for taxes because our employers didn't withhold enough even though we both claimed zero? Well, I guess I'm supposed to be happy that we don't owe more, etc., etc.
I hate that people want you to be happy that things aren't worse, but it would be SO EFFING NICE not to have to deal with the annoyances in the first place, you know?
- Mar 22, 2011, 12:11:00 PM
I second what Pickles and Dimes said about it being easier to handle one big issue than a bunch of little ones. It's all of the smaller problems adding up everywhere I turn that gets me.
When I had to have surgery and would be out of commission for 3 months? I swung into action and got the household stocked up and prepared for 3 months without Mom to fix everything.
When a family member decided to enter rehab for their addiction? No problem. We hopped to it and got everything done that needed to be done.
But the things that have no clear way to "fix" them, the things that MIGHT be nothing but I just don't know, like the kid behavior and the job insecurity? They are what pile up and make me not ever want to get out of bed again. I feel for you. Cadbury Eggs all around.
- Mar 22, 2011, 12:33:00 PM
I think the happy list requires some brownies with salty peanuts, chopped cadbury eggs and caramel sauce on top.
We recently broke down and had the vet do dental surgery on our stinky-mouthed, fat tabby*. He had extra teeth that used to catch food and caused dental issues. He has been way happier since (after the whole post-vet other cat weirdness passed).
*I think that tabbies have a stronger food drive than other cats.
It is also *very* reassuring to know that other people have furious imaginary conversations with people too.
- Mar 22, 2011, 12:35:00 PM
It's the season!! For years and years I've been plagued with sadness in March (miserable March) ...and it's my birthday month so in the past (not now because I'm damn old) it meant presents and fun! But still, I was sad, especially when my children were little and I was a stay at home mom. I live where winter is cold, snowy and dreary so I just know it's lack of vitimin D (although I take suppliments) and I just get sick, sick, sick of the cold. Today there's a stiff wind, my feet are ice cubes even inside and the clouds are thick and gray. I'm just thankful in my head that it's March and not November or I'd have to shoot myself. I just wish my spirit would be happy about it, too. Some days I'm so cranky, I can't standed being with myself!
- Mar 22, 2011, 1:14:00 PM
Sorry you're going through all of this, but maybe it will make you feel a teeny bit better to know that reading your post made me feel better. Not in a schadenfreude sort of way--but because it made me feel so not alone in my own current misery (first thing I did when I woke this morning was cry).
I hate March with a passion and always have and can't wait until it's over. My low opinion of March didn't disappoint this year (my baby spent a week in the hospital for starters) but I just know April will bring better things for all of us struggling. Meanwhile, there are the cadbury eggs...thank you for reminding me! I plan on making a stop at the store on the way home.

My husband is having a month like yours. I always find that if one of is really stressed out, the other one has to be the "calm one". We need to balance each other out or something. He is stressed out his job and needing to work SO many hours....probably 7 days a week pretty soon. Then he feels like even if he does this for months and months, he will still be thrown under the bus by his boss and fired. I think it's probably not as bad as he thinks it is because he gets himself into worst-case-scenario-mode.
Other things bringing him down include Travelocity constantly sending him messages that something is wrong with out flight or tickets and he has to keep calling and talking to several people before finally getting an answer. And it keeps happening at the worst possible time. And the water bill was HUGE! Our town SUCKS! And our remote was missing!!! It was the worst week ever for him. I have been okay though because one of us has to be.
I also hate having to make a lot of annoying phone calls and it does seem to all happen at once. FWIW, I feel the same way about Amelia (who is 4) as you feel about Rob, in terms of being afraid of the teenage years. I think maybe there is no parent that can handle the teenage years WELL...maybe it's just about getting through it without making too many mistakes?
I'm sorry you're so stressed....hugs:)

- Alicia said...
I could make my own list, but you've done such a good job outlining a lot of issues I would list too!
Husband: Same snip (but no emotional stuff somehow)
Kieran (Rob equivalent): orthodontic appliance doesn't keep breaking, but his teeth look like they're going to rot out of his head due to lack of/bad brushing habits; pre-teen issues, also that foreshadow possible inability to deal with teenagers on my part; emotional/anxious mess recently, recalling a time two years ago that was decidedly NOT GOOD; this is my dyslexic one (which is JUST FINE)
Anneke (Elizabeth equivalent): whining whining whining, as always (although she DOES seem better recently, in general)
Griffon (Henry equivalent; I skipped Will and Edward): doesn't obey without threats of something; constantly imitates video game noises and shooting/fighting; not starting Kinder until F12 (sighhhh)
Archer (no equivalent): wakes up entirely too early for anyone's comfort (but he's very tiny and cute); whines because he's always overtired
All kids: birthdays/parties all coming up (April 24 to June 4); summer camp dithering
Minivan: needs recall work, but place says it's low priority, so may have to leave it there for the day (BUT WE ONLY HAVE ONE CAR)
Doctor/Phone Calls: Need to make a number of phone calls, which I dread so much, a lot of which involve scheduling doctor appointments, which I dread so much
House: Always a disaster
Brother: moved in with us
Work: WAY too much to do, juggling too many jobs/responsibilities
Finances: WAY too little money, even given the too many jobs
The world: full of constant disaster and constant cruelty, some of which is magnified by people I know (whose politics I don't abide)
The body: Currently losing weight (nice) but completely terrified that I will just yo-yo back up (likely)
But, yes:
It is Cadbury Egg season (4 WW points)
I MADE THE PEPPERONCINI ROAST YESTERDAY! (and by "I," I mean my husband) Was great! Tip: I would add more pepperoncini juice to keep it from drying out.
Lots of new babies, none of them mine!
Okay, so I guess I ended up making a list. That was very satisfying.

Ugh I feel you with this list too closely - have had troubling parental health issues and I work for the federal government and am the primary bread winner so the relatively constant low-grade stress about possibly not getting paid for some indeterminate period of time is wearing me thin. Plus let's not discount the effect of daylight savings time on my kids. The whole things adds up to one big pile of ill-defined bleh/crabbiness. Have been consuming Easter colored m&ms by the bag full for "medicinal purposes."

My eye started twitching whilst reading your list. It makes me want to make my own list - it seems therapeutic to get it all out.
Ask the school if they have any resources for testing. When I was younger I was having some difficulties and was able to be tested by the school. Turns out I had hearing loss (result from an infant illness) and wasn't hearing everything properly - lots of misunderstanding.

I hate that feeling so much, and recognize it and know it well. For me, spring is a huge boost in my general sense of well-being and feeling capable. I hope some of these things relent soon. Remember all of the things you have done well and do every day with parenting, life living, and otherwise, and believe me when I tell you you can do it because you have done it before. Hang in!

Oh Swistle, I truly feel for you and think I might have to write a similar list for myself on my own blog (I don't want to bore you or anyone else with all my woes).
And you know what the worst part is? I live in France and YOU CAN'T GET CADBURY EGGS here (good job my dad's coming from the UK soon - I told him to not bother with clothes, just to bring Creme Eggs. For some reason, he thought I was joking...).
*le sigh*

Good lord, if anybody's bought their way into some eff-the-world time... I can pretty much guarantee no one could parent five kids any better than you are, and many many many would do it much worse. And that no-carb book you read has been causing me stress too, and I haven't even read it yet.

I'm so glad you ordered "Minding Frankie." It's sad in parts, but sweet. After finishing a Maeve Bienchy novel I always feel luxuriously relaxed. . . as if I've taken a long nap on a sunny, lazy, peaceful Sunday.
About the snip. . . don't discount the amount of stress and grief that can bring. It's not just Paul's fertility that ended - it's yours (assuming you are not dallying with a hot young lover on the side.) And for some women, the end of fertility is emotionally synonymous with the end of youth. It can be a very difficult thing to go though. I struggled with it, and I absolutely did not want another child and forced my then-husband into getting the snip.

Low-carb diets are not healthy, and diets are not healthy. The book Intuitive Eating will change how you look at everything related to food and diets. This is a wonderful book.
Have you thought about getting some help for the social anxiety issues? The anxiety around phone calls and social interactions sounds like it's really causing you pain. You're not just shy-- you're really suffering.
Good for you for making the appointment tomorrow. That was a big deal, and shows you really are courageous. If you could bring it up tomorrow, that would save you from making another appointment, though it might feel like too much to deal with whatever is bringing you in, and something else, too.

Anon- I've read a book about intuitive eating, and I greatly enjoyed it and thought it made a lot of sense, but sadly my own intuition doesn't seem to line up with the theory. I think the intuitive eating thing works for a certain sort of person, but not for ALL people---just as the low-carb book I read (which claims that some low-carb diets are unhealthy and others are not) claims to work for a certain sort of person but not for everyone.
You're right that it's more than shyness, and I've talked here before about my phone phobia and social anxiety and my (so far unsuccessful) attempts to find treatment for it. In fact, I'd say I'm about equal on success with diets and success with psych treatments at this point.

If Intuitive Eating isn't for you, then it's not.
I don't see this in terms of success or failure. I don't assume that everybody has mental health benefits, and sometimes treatment beyond what a family doctor can provide is necessary. I thought it was worth a mention, because I think it causes you real pain, and must be hard for your family to be involved with, as well. I'm so sorry. I could go on a rant here about our health care system, but I'll just send good wishes for tomorrow. I certainly don't see you as a failure, but as someone who perseveres and tries to look on the bright side.

Rawr. I tried to leave a comment, but the internet hates me.
I am sorry you are dealing with all this stress. I have some too, involving having to find a new part-time daycare person (for the 3rd time and my son is only 13 months old!). It's easier this time because he's older, but harder because we only need someone Thursday/Friday.
I hate the phone calls, and keep wondering why none of these people have websites or open facebook pages where I could send a message that they could answer at their leisure. Also, searching for our 3rd daycare person makes me wonder if I'm just a bad judge of character, or what.
I hope the Cadbury eggs help you feel better. We had Thin Mints, and they helped me get through the phone calls I had to make.
Good luck.

I only had one brother, and I was a classic screamer and/or door-slammer, so I agree with the poster who suggested it is probably pretty much par for the course for a little girl with four of them. In fact, I'm surprised she has time for anything else!
It does get better, though ... my brother and I were reminiscing the other day about the time he was chasing me through the house and I slammed a door in his face so hard it chipped a tooth. Twenty-five years later, we're now the best of friends ... so it's not exactly an immediate solution, but it's also been probably at least 15 years since I've slammed a door, so there has been improvement all around!
I hope your week gets less crappy/crabby in a hurry. :)

I feel for you! That is a lot of stuff. The only suggestion I have is for your cat. I sadly have a cat who is very thin and frail probably from cancer. The vet put him on steroids which helps him eat more. In the end it's a losing battle but it makes him more comfortable for now and I get to feel like I'm doing something to help him.

The best (worst) example I've ever seen of that Hollywood Fat portrayal was on Friends. When they did flashback episodes, and particularly one "alternate universe" episode, in which Monica was fat, the writers made it not only a PERSONALITY TRAIT, but her ONLY ONE. What?!?!?!?!? Every joke she made and every joke related to her was about eating a Snickers bar or trying to be sexy but failing due to how fat she was. It still rankles me (obviously), not only because it's mean and stereotypical but also because it's such lazy writing. People who are overweight have no interests but eating? ARGGGGHHHH.
In other words, I too would have been totally bugged by that book.

I am usually a list lover---making lists of what needs to be done, feeling accomplished when I can check things off. However, after reading your list, I have decided that making a list of what is bothering me might not be the best thing to do....because that might be an endless list. And seeing it all there, on paper, in a ginormous list would only make me feel worse about all the stuff that was bothering me.

Do user A and B have different Drupal UIDs, LDAP PUIDs, and different Drupal usernames?
What happens if you convert user A and user B to drupal accounts and repeat the same process with LDAP disabled?
Can you test against 7.x-2.0-dev please also?
I also have this problem. Let's say I have only the admin drupal account. When I am trying to log in with an LDAP testing account, it goes in with no problems. When I log out and try to log in with a second LDAP testing account, it logs in, but the username of the first testing account overwrites the second one. The email stays the same. And the error with "Undefined variable: ldap_authentication_authmap" prints out.
I refactored the ldap authentication validation function completely to get more insight into this. It was unwieldy in length and branching. See http://drupalcode.org/project/ldap.git/commitdiff/048aa7423a085548261c7f...
The undefined variable issue is fixed. I still can't reproduce the error. It may be solved, maybe not.

|» Postponed (maintainer needs more info)
I have tried and could replicate this on the current 7.x-2.x-dev (and on 7.x-2.0-beta3)
There is only one ldap generated drupal user possible. Every new login overwrites previous user data, apart from data not triggered from ldap (e.g. group, which is not in ldap).
In this context i found, that setting "AccountName attribute" in the server settings to a different value than default (e.g. "uid", which exists in ldap) causes a php error message:
Notice: Undefined index: uid in LdapServer->userUsernameFromLdapEntry() (line 965 of /var/www/drupal-sites/drupal7/panda/modules/ldap/ldap_servers/LdapServer.class.php).
Anyhow, the user is generated and logged in.
I am not sure, if there is a relationship between the routines.....

And some more checks for unresolved usernames:
Additional checks could be made after any calls to LdapServer::entryToUserEdit() that return conflicted username conditions such as both $account->name and $edit['name'] being empty.

I have rechecked with a fresh drupal installation using only ldap module (+ctools +entity) and no problems occured! I will try to find out which combination cause the trouble......
I found the reason for the problem and it is - like in most cases - a layer 8 problem. So the user - ME! - was too stupid. During ldap server module config i came along the parameter:
Persistent and Unique User ID Attribute
The description is:
In some LDAPs, a user's DN, CN, or mail value may change when a user's name changes or for other reasons. In order to avoid creation of multiple accounts for that user or other ambiguities, enter a unique and persistent ldap attribute for users. In cases where DN does not change, enter "dn" here. If no such attribute exists, leave this blank.
And i misunderstood the advice and entered "dn" here. If you do so, you will only get one ldap generated drupal user. Leave that parameter blank and everything is okay (tested with 7.x-2.0-beta3+80-dev)!
So if that is the planned behaviour i suggest to change the ticket status to fixed and close it. :-)
#17. Using dn should not create a problem except if an individual's DN changes. So if using "dn" creates the problem, its still an issue. Thanks for narrowing it down. I will try to replicate it with dn.

I am having the same problem in my site.
When two users log in, the second overrides the first user Drupal account. I'm working with the 2.x beta 5 version, maybe the problem persist, but because of the little number of cases I think it belongs from my configuration.
To be sure, when using "dn" in the "Persistent and Unique User ID Attribute" field is it necessary to fill the field "Expression for user DN. Required when "Bind with Users Credentials" method selected."?
In the reports, the user module shows an error since it's enabled, maybe is related to this:
User Fields for LDAP User Module Missing
Fields are added to the Drupal User entity for LDAP User module functionality. These fields should have been created in LDAP User update 7203. The following userfields are missing:
ldap_user_prov_entries instance
ldap_user_last_checked instance
ldap_user_ldap_exclude instance
Rerun update 7203 to correct this; it will not write over destroy existing fields.
Thank you.
|» 7.x-2.x-dev
Please only test against -dev; not beta versions.
No luck yet. I am working with an existing site and can't start from scratch though
Base Case
Test: 7.x-2.0-beta5
Result: same as reported in this issue
Test #1
Test: Using 7.x-2.0-beta5 I tried the solution from #17 and removed 'dn' from the 'Persistent and Unique User ID Attribute' field.
Result: The effect this had was to stop new users from being created. I could log in with existing accounts but accounts not already in Drupal where not recognized.
Test #2
Test: dev on top of beta5
$ drush dl ldap --dev
$ drush updb
ldap_authorization module : 7204 - make all schema field names lowercase in ldap server to deal with cronic case sensitivity issues
$ drush cc all
$ drush cron
Result: no change from Base Case
Test #3
Test: disable/enable
$ drush dis ldap_servers
$ drush en ldap_servers, ldap_user, ldap_authentication, ldap_authorization, ldap_authorization_drupal_role, ldap_test, ldap_help
|» 7.x-2.0-beta6
We were still experiencing this issue with LDAP Authentication on our site as well. Removing the "dn" entry under Persistent and Unique User ID Attribute alleviated the problem with user accounts being overwritten, but we're still attempting to delve deeper into why this problem was happening in the first place. It doesn't seem reasonable that the settings under "Persistent and Unique User ID Attribute" should allow the partial overwrite of user accounts. In our case, when attempting to authenticate and create a second user account, the previously created Username (User1) was not being updated, only the associated email was changing from User1's email to User2's. Very weird.
|» Postponed (maintainer needs more info)
I ran across this in helping someone with their configuration. To create or update drupal entries, the server configuration needs to both derive a matching username and store a permanent user id. Test a sample user to make sure this is the case and that these derived values are unique. dn is not a good attribute for the unique attribute. cn may be if you never change them for users.
To continue on with this as a bug, the following is needed:
- mappings for username, authname, and permanent user id
- an example of two ldap entries where this conflict occurs (anonymized).
Thanks #17 fixed it for me.... just deleted "dn"

The Predictalator is the most advanced sports forecasting software available today because it has the ability to account for all of the relevant statistical interactions of the players (playing or not playing/injured), coaches, officials, fans (home field advantage) and weather in each game.
04/21/2014 Highlight: Using the ResultsFinder for the week of April 14th - 20th, one could find that all highlighted, MLB "normal" or better picks went 22-16 (58% ML, O/U, RL). A normal $50 player utilizing our play value recommendations on these picks returned a profit of +$425 for the week
The week in the NBA was even stronger, particularly with the start of postseason play. Overall, for the week, normal or better picks went 3-1 (75% ATS and O/U), including starting the Playoffs 2-0 with such plays. New this, we have added halftime picks which have proven capable of providing strong opportunities to exploit the market. Over just eight NBA Playoff games thus far, halftime normal or better (and there are "better" halftime picks) against-the-spread plays were especially stron,g going 5-0 (100% ATS).
As the NBA and NHL postseason began, all highlighted, "normal" or better picks on the site, including halftimes, went 40-23 (63% ATS, ML, O/U and PL) for the week.
The Predictalator plays every game 50,000 times before it's actually played. This provides us the ability to assign probabilities to the likelihood of just about any outcome occurring in any contest including straight-up, against-the-spread and over/under winners of each game.

Calendar not syncing from iPhone 4S to Outlook 2010 or Google Calendar
Currently Being ModeratedDec 7, 2012 12:52 PM (in response to Jeffrocas)
When we just installed the latest version of iTunes, it automatically started using iCloud to sync. For me, my previous settings were lost. I just had to go back in and manually change things. Ugh.

It seems like forever that my ipad2 and Microsoft calendars have been out of sync. I searched this entire site - Nada. Here is the step by step answer. http://www.slideshare.net/kingdallen/how-to-sync-calendars-12746215
Currently Being ModeratedJan 9, 2013 1:07 PM (in response to anniebeagle)
Just tried to download the Google workaround (Google Sync) and found it has been discontinued as of Dec 14, 2012. They have new instructions, but I will need to read them and determine if I can still use this for my Outlook-iPad Calendar sync problem.
Anyone else find this too?
Currently Being ModeratedJan 12, 2013 3:54 AM (in response to NotANewbie2)
Google Sync gone.... I too just realized that my outlook stopped communicating with Google (thus with apple as well). Anyone have a solution for real time sync or will I have to leave Outlook?
Currently Being ModeratedFeb 10, 2013 5:47 AM (in response to anniebeagle)
I may be just over simplifying this but you can have several calendar, email and contact lists on each of your devices. Make sure you are puting data in the right one. If you are syncing MS Exchange for instance; on your phone/ipad, untick (or better delete) all calendars/inboxes/contacts except your exchange one and perhaps do the same in MS Outlook.
It is so easy to make an entry on one device in one calendar that is not synced on another device. I have done it loads of times. On the iphone/ipad they are differentiated by name and a coloured dot in the calendar list, but just the dot against the appointment. Easy to miss.
I guess it may be the same on other severs.
Currently Being ModeratedFeb 15, 2013 8:42 AM (in response to QuickDuck)
What have you done to solve this problem?
Currently Being ModeratedFeb 15, 2013 11:55 AM (in response to dlbennet)

Since Google Sync stopped syncing with just plain Outlook ( I don't have exchange) in mid Dec. I left outlook, moved to web based gmail and calendar using Chrome, and left Outlook calendar. I left the email portion of Outlook as well, as there was no reason to stay when I couldn't use the calendar properly. It makes me think of going to Android after my I phone contract is done.

I have looked through the various posts and do not see one that offers a solution for my issue. My iPhone 4 stopped syncing with with my calendar 3 or 4 weeks ago. We run an Exchange server and everyone else's phone seems to work fine but mine. E-mail sync is no problem, contacts are no problem just my calendar is a problem. None of the scheduled meetings on my calendar do not sync over to my phone. However, if I am invited to a meeting I receive the notification and can add it to my phone based calendar but if I add a meeting on the calendar through my client PC it doesn't sync.
So $19 later and an hour on the phone with Apple they have no idea, we reinstalled the OS but to no avail......last words, there must be a problem at the server level or ISP, It can not be the phone! Contacted ISP, no problem according to them, quick look at server nothing obvious and oh yeah everyone else's iPhone's work just fine. I finally convinced one of of my colleagues to allow me to add my account to his phone and see if it it synchs, guess what it worked fine, all my appointments came over. Ok has anyone ever heard of this and is there a possibility it is the phone????? Sounds strange but the results of the experiment would suggest it is the phone!!!
Any comment would be appreciated!iPhone 4S

Interesting, I had the same problem of no option to select calendar while other iPhone 4s I looked at had this option. When I discussed this with Apple they had me wipe the phone (backup to iTunes first) then reinstall the OS. It worked I now had the option to "select calendar" however, it still does not sync even after choosing Exhange caledar!!!!

Hello VJC NJ:
Make sure that you are NOT running Outlook as Administrator (right click Outlook->Properties->uncheck "Run as Administrator". For some reason calendar sync (Outlook <-> iCloud) does not work if you run Outlook as administrator.

SORRY FOR MY HORRIBLE ENGLISH but maybe this can help someone... Scenario: Outlook sync Calendar (2600 dates more or less) with Nokia N95 8Gb but not with IPhone (Outlook 2007, ITunes 220.127.116.11, IPhone 5 using USB cable). There were some recurring events without an end date: I fix it with 31 january 2100... it works now!
Currently Being ModeratedApr 10, 2013 11:05 AM (in response to VJC NJ)
I cannot understand why the calender Sync can work one day and then never again!!
I have not changed anything on the phone settings, never used iCloud as I have a seperate cloud back-up system that operates under UK data protection legislation as we have to have that for the indutsry we work,I just carry out the IOS updates as when prompted by iTunes.
I am not an IT person and have no deisre to be one. The Sync to Outlook Calender is one of the few reasons to pick Apple over Android a few years back.
Apple must be well aware of the problem but offer no solution. A fix should be rolled out in an IOS update like they usually do. To be held to a set operator contract, more expensive than others, to use an iPhone is joke.
I need the Outlook Calender sync to work.I am not prepared to start changing settings, nobody has a fix that works on any thread.
Rant over!!
Is there an IOS uodate on its way to fix this?
Currently Being ModeratedApr 10, 2013 3:33 PM (in response to BlueNGT)
I don't think this is an Apple problem. I've been researching iphone calendar/Outlook sync problems for a long time, and I am an IT person. IMO, the problem is in Outlook. There are numerous complaints about Outlook's inability to handle simple calendar functions such as changing the end date (or creating one) for a recurring event. When you do that on your phone and then sync to Outlook, the results are unpredictable (duplicate events, missing events). When you do it in Outlook, you lose all exceptions. I realize that your problem is that you can't sync at all, but given how flaky Outllok is, I think you might try looking there for a solution to your problem.
Currently Being ModeratedApr 11, 2013 2:45 AM (in response to Sk8Dreams)
Hi, I've spoken with Apple and they admit its a design fault with the latest update.
I'm just using the original version of iCloud again and all seems to be ok.
Currently Being ModeratedApr 16, 2013 6:02 AM (in response to sx51alx)
In true Apple style I have just synced my phone today, made zero changes suggested in the many pages of the same subject and the Calander synced straight away... figure that out!?!

Simon Cowell undergoes regular colonic irrigation, it is claimed in a new biography of the X Factor star
Wednesday, April 18, 2012
Simon Cowell undergoes regular colonic irrigation because he believes it gives his eyes an extra sparkle, a new book claims.
The X Factor supremo is also hooked up to an intravenous drip on a regular basis to flood his body with nutrients, according to the unauthorised biography Sweet Revenge.
Tom Bower's book suggests Cowell uses a number of unusual methods to hang on to his health and try to retain a youthful look.
The book, which is being serialised by The Sun, has already made claims about the media mogul having an affair with former X Factor judge Dannii Minogue and his unflattering comments about acts and judges from the show.
In a further instalment, the book alleges Cowell undergoes the irrigation process - in which the intestine is flushed out. He is quoted as saying: "It's so cleansing - and it makes my eyes shine brighter."
He is also said to be put on a drip for half an hour each week when he is at his US home, supplying a boost to the levels of magnesium and vitamins C and B in his body.
Cowell has for years kept his private life under wraps, with his publicist Max Clifford admitting that he has endeavoured to keep a number of stories out of the spotlight.
But the multimillionaire TV star spoke to Bower during the preparation of the book.
Yesterday Clifford said that agreeing to be interviewed had been a "massive own goal".
Cowell posted a message on Twitter to point out that this was not an official biography although he did not deny he had taken part in the book's preparation.
He said: "This book is not written by me. It is unauthorised. The writer is Tom Bower."
Mr Clifford told ITV's Daybreak he was "disappointed" that Cowell had agreed to speak to the author.
He said: "Sensation sells and the private lives of the rich and famous is something people in Britain love to read about.
"I don't think Simon is very happy about it, but Tom Bower was going to do the book whether he spoke to Simon or not.
"We discussed it and I told him to keep well away from Tom Bower, in my view. Once you speak to someone, you're working with them.
"The book hasn't done anything that's going to increase his popularity with anybody. It makes him appear to be someone who talks about his private life. He doesn't."

Alicia Seghi, a wildlife keeper at the Willowbrook Wildlife Center in Glen Ellyn feeds a robin in a flight cage on Friday, July 20, 2012. The robin, along with 160 other animals, were brought to the center following the big storms over the past month. | Brian Powers~Sun-Times Media

A new grant is totally for the birds — literally.
Injured wild birds recuperating at the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County's Willowbrook Wildlife Center in Glen Ellyn are enjoying a new amenity this winter: improved water sources provided for by an $800 grant funded by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources from contributions to the Illinois Wildlife Preservation Fund.
The center handles birds from throughout DuPage including Naperville.
The grant supported electrical upgrades to two outdoor rehabilitation areas. In the songbird cages, the upgrades allowed for the installation of heated water bowls since even in the cold days of winter birds need open water for drinking and bathing. In the waterfowl enclosure, upgrades provided a heater and aerator to keep water open and circulating in the existing pond.
"The equipment works well in the cold weather, and the animals are definitely using the open-water sources," said Jennifer Nevis, the Wildlife Center's staff veterinarian.
Throughout the year, species ranging from small songbirds, like indigo buntings, to large wading birds, like great blue herons, may recuperate in the outdoor enclosures.
The center, one of the largest wildlife-rehabilitation centers in the nation, accepts thousands of injured wild animals for treatment each year.
"We strive to provide settings that allow animals to carry out their normal behaviors so they're ready for life back in the wild once they are healed," said Nevis.
Some permanently injured animals that would not survive in the wild live at the center year-round, providing opportunities for visitors to learn about their animal neighbors.
The grant provided for project supplies, and the installation work was completed by the DuPage Forest District's in-house maintenance crews. This spring, a water filter will be added to the waterfowl enclosure to provide a constant source of fresh water for endangered Blanding's turtles that are also housed there as part of a head-start rearing program.
Willowbrook Wildlife Center is open daily (except major holidays) and offers unique exhibits and programs for visitors of all ages.
It is located at 525 S. Park Blvd. in Glen Ellyn. To learn more, call the center at 630-942-6200.

Hyperkalemia often has no symptoms. Occasionally, people may have the following symptoms:
Cardiac arrest (absent heartbeat) may occur at any time during the treatment of hyperkalemia. Hospitalization and close monitoring are required.
Expectations (prognosis)

This is how the NY Times provides info to its readers:""We trust the president," former Gov. Jennifer Granholm of Michigan said on Current TV. "And if this was Bush, I think that we would all be more up in arms because we wouldn't trust that he would strike in a very targeted way and try to minimize damage rather than contain collateral damage."No mention that Granholm is a Democrat, and an incredibly partisan one. Or, that Current TV was an Al Gore propaganda network. And, that new owner is simply an Arab Al. NYT would never quote Rush Limbaugh on his network, but quotes from Current TV.Article also avoids mentioning the 3,000 + people killed by Obama´s drone strikes. From 15,000 feet, the identity of just who is in a house in Yemen, Pakistan, Afghsnistan and Somalia can never be certain, even by a god such as Obama. Nor does NYT mention Obama´s unauthorized war in Libya, a war that made a bad country worse.

"justifying the muscular application of force in the defense of the nation while detractors complain that he has sacrificed the country's core values in the name of security."Obama´s autocratic moves come from a variety of different angles, all of which seem to converge toward one goal - replacing the West with a monolithic global system that is soft and Socialist on the outside, hollow and hopeless on the inside, and uncompromisingly intolerant toward all religions but Islam.WH public relations (and MSM sycophants) portray this as a pursuit of security. A closer examination makes it apparent, though, that the vision is driven by ideology.

I was going to put up the Granholm quote but #1 beat me to it. It perfectly encapsulates the liberal idiotic view of the liberal idiot we have running the country and the liberal idiots who wish to follow him over the socialist cliff.

Runway Reviews: Gareth Pugh
SWAN View Gallery
(PARIS) As soon as the Gareth Pugh show had begun, the Palais de Tokyo was exploding with a pulsating techno soundrack and the designer's ferocious leather and chain work. Both guys and gals stormed the runway in what eventually looked like The Matrix revisited: flawless cuts, fearless noir and gray edges, and perfectly cut jackets. Abbey Lee led the sheer linear parade while Frida Gustavsson strolled in a superhero-like cape column. Pugh's work this season was bold, confident, and--more so than in the past--very commercially viable.

Our noses have the uncanny ability to recall scents that we smelled long ago; that is the case with this cologne. Precisely 50 years ago my then boyfriend wore "Duke of Kent," a fragrance that I never forgot, but that has not been available for ages. L'Homme arrived as a sample in the mail and activated instant recall.
It's scent is absolutely sexy. Yesterday I found out the our son wears it too. Obviously it's not just a scent for the older generation.

MARLBORO, VT – You have to pay a woman to shave her legs at Marlboro. And legs, heads, faces, and maybe even armpits that haven't seen the blade of a razor or shears in years will do just that as Marlboro faculty and staff shave down to support a student project.
Members of the Marlboro community have agreed to shave and/or cut off the hair they have held onto for years now to raise money for sophomore Noah Levinson's work with the street children of India. The quirky fundraiser, pegged "Hair to Help" involves the promise of various staffers and faculty members to publicly shave everything from their heads to legs if they are able to collect enough pledge money to do so. For some, $25 will be enough to trim up. For others, like Director of Psychological Services Nancy Pike, who has promised to shave her head, it will take more.
Levinson has spent the past two years traveling around the
streets of India and offering medical services to its street
children. He has started up a mobile health clinic that brings
medical supplies to children who would otherwise not have
them and has raised more than $30,000 toward the project.
He has hired a doctor and a nurse and bought a vehicle and
medical supplies with that money. The mobile health clinic
provides medical treatment to about 650 street children outside
of Calcutta. It provides monthly checkups, medicines, surgery,
substance abuse treatment, and braces for the handicapped.
Those involved in Hair to Help say they will miss their locks, but that it's all in the name of a good cause.
"Given the current world turmoil, I could think of no better reason to shave my head than to raise money for a project started by a Jewish young man, and Arab young man, working with Catholic Charities to provide medical assistance to Hindi and Muslim street children. For me, Noah's project is like a light in the midst of darkness. I want to fan that kind flame and add to the light," Pike said.
And of the efforts the college community has put into his project Noah said, "I am deeply moved and touched that the Marlboro community is coming together to support this initiative for street children in Calcutta. It would have been enough for the Marlboro community to allow me to integrate my work in Calcutta with my studies, but no, they are doing more."
The public shaving is set to take place on April 23 at 1:30 p.m. in the dining hall should the group of staffers and faculty be able to raise their individual pledge amounts.

keep it local! – Small place, but I love keeping it local and away from the "big box" places. They have a ton of things local to the area (Georgetown, Williamson County, Texas) including those "old" maps (reproductions) of Texas counties done 100+ years ago.
Right on the square in Georgetown, there's plenty of parking, I don't know what that other reviewer was talking about -- you have the whole square to park!
If they don't have it, they'll order it.
