Somebody Stop Me...
Is it because it is just such a fun project?
Or is it because of the moment when it looks like there are a zillion stars staring back at you from the walls?
Or is it because of the wonderful texture left behind after wiping off the chalk?
Or is it because it encourages you to WRITE on the walls...without getting into trouble?
Whatever the reason, I love chalkboard paint.

I was wondering what you use to clean your chalkboard with. I just painted the long side of my pantry with chalkboard paint and I'm so happy with it.

Now there you go another painting project. Have a great weekend,Kathysue

Wow i'm kind a tempted to do it in my 6 yr old daughter room. All she does is write, read and color.
You said its fun and easy to do right?.:)
Since her room will be guestroom too, i guess i can write a welcome note as well.
My 4th grader daughter saw what Isabella's doing, she said we learned that in 3th gr. :>
Looks like Max is going to have a
cool room cant wait. - March 12, 2010 at 7:00 AM

I really like the chalkboard on the walls idea. I have a few little chalk boards around the house, but love your idea. Maybe it would stop my kiddos from leaving crayon and pen murals all over :) Thanks for sharing how you put up your picture frame collages. I am definatly going to try it. I never even thought about laying it out on paper first. simplifies everything..

That stripe is so delicious, I almost want to lick it. Except that it's a chalkboard. Ew.
All kidding aside, I am loving that bold horizontal stripe in his room. LOVING. - March 12, 2010 at 9:26 AM
- Cristin said...
Such a fun look for a playroom too. But, do share if the chalk dust gets out of hand. That is my one reservation about it.
cristin - March 12, 2010 at 10:19 AM
- Averill said...
I think this is a great idea for a kid's room or a den. The stripe is bold and graphic and feels super-sophisticated, but it also is kid-friendly and encourages their creativity. Great job, Janell!
- March 12, 2010 at 10:24 AM
- Isabella & Max Rooms said...
Yes, I'll let you know about the dust. Last night before bed there was a lot of drawing and writing going on and it did occur to me that light covered canvas bedspreads might be in the future!

You did a fantastic job! I love that it's a band around the room. It gives it a tailored look. I'm over the moon about chalk board paint too. It's like I can't control my urge to find more stuff to paint!

So glad the boy got his chalkboard! I am also curious to hear if there's a dust problem. I love this idea, but my 5-year-old is allergy prone so I wonder if I would have problems. . . .Maybe I could do a huge painted horizontal stripe, if nothing else. Love the way this looks.

1. | tanking | ||
comes from mmorpgs, where you would have a healer in your party and a person with high defense. (i.e. meat sack-o-shield warriors). the warrior rush an opponent and the monk would do their best to keep the warrior alive with healing and stat bonuses. then, the other members could
a)fight and hit hard b)run away like scared little girls so, in essence, it is a big distraction to open opportunites for attack or to run away, like a sacrifice but to keepp it alive. Chaos Deity had the best plan to win by tanking the enemy patrol and having his team run away.
2. | Tanking | ||
The word tanking, in terms of sport, would be used to describe a bad performance
Tanking is the act of giving up a match or "throwing it away", losing intentionally or not competing. |
3. | tanking | ||
In dotA, using your hero to absorb enemy damage.
Effective when pushing, a tanker can absorb large amounts of damage while the rest of the team can focus on killing the enemy heroes. Pudge: Look at the lvl 1 fv tanking those creeps. What a nub.
Faceless Void: stfu fattie, b0w dwn! 11! one! later... Faceless Void: 1 HoT and 2 Butterflies. I'm a tank. Pudge: I'm so damn fat. |
4. | tanking | ||
Tanking is the act of going as fast as you can. The meaning comes from riding mopeds, which are typicaly a slow form of transport. To get them to go faster, a rider can reduce their profile and improve their aerodynamics by laying flat on the fuel tank; "tanking it". "You got here quickly, didn't you?"
"Yeah, I was tanking it all the way" |
5. | tanking | ||
In reference to Magic: The Gathering gameplay. tanking is the act of "going into the tank" coming from 'think tank'. a player "in the tank" is considering their next line of play. My magic online opponent has been tanking for several minutes now. I'm not sure what he could come out with to save him.
6. | Tanking | ||
The process by which a person expels excrement into the toilet tank, instead of the bowl, resulting in a disgusting surprise when one flushes. I'm tanking in Mr. Dookie's toilet!
7. | Tanking | ||
Something robust that is travelling very fast and carrying a lot of momentum, rendering it largely unstoppable and on the edge of potential catastrophe. Something that you wouldn't want to stand in the way of. • The bus was tanking down the hill, had to jump out the way!
• He was absolutely tanking it (with disregard to others). |

Asthma Slideshow: 10 Worst Cities for Asthma

Did your city make the list?
Asthma is a chronic disease of the airways that makes breathing difficult. Many things in the environment can trigger an attack, including air pollution, secondhand smoke, and pollen. While there are no asthma-free cities, some are more challenging than others for people living with asthma. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA), a nonprofit patient organization, has released their "2008 Asthma Capitals." Here are the top 10.
No. 10: Greensboro, N.C.
Greensboro may be situated among gently rolling hills, but there's nothing pretty about the asthma picture here. It comes in at No. 10 on the list of "worst" asthma cities. Twelve factors were used to formulate the list, including air quality, asthma prevalence, pollen scores, poverty levels, and asthma death rates. "Each factor is given a weighted value by medical and research experts according to its effect on 'quality of life' for asthma patients," says the AAFA.
No. 9: St. Louis, Mo.
The Gateway Arch is not the only thing in the air in St. Louis. High pollen levels and poor air quality contribute to big asthma issues -- and brings it in at No. 9. That's a significant leap from the No. 28 spot it held in 2007.
No. 8: Greenville, S.C.
Poor air quality and an above average use of controller medications by asthma suffers contribute to Greenville's ranking as one of the worst cities for asthma in the U.S. It jumped to No. 8, from No. 34 in 2007.
No. 7: Charlotte, N.C.
The population isn't the only thing on the rise in the Queen City. Its ranking on the "Asthma Capitals" list is, too. It's up from No. 14 in 2007.
No. 6: Allentown, Pa.
This small Rust Belt city has big asthma issues, jumping to sixth place from No. 16 in 2007. A high prevalence of asthma and a low number of asthma specialists in the area are contributing factors.
No. 5: Memphis, Tenn.
This Mississippi river town has many asthma sufferers singing the blues. Memphis has skyrocketed from the No. 30 spot in 2007 to the top five this year, with high poverty rates and poor air quality partly to blame. While asthma doesn't discriminate based on socio-economic status, people living in poverty often have less access to health care and medications needed to manage their condition.
No. 4: Atlanta, Ga.
Southern hospitality? While Atlanta wasn't so hospitable for asthma sufferers this past year, things do seem to be improving. Atlanta edged its way down the list a little, from its starring No. 1 spot in 2007.
No. 3: Milwaukee, Wis.
Asthma problems are brewing in this Lake Michigan city. Milwaukee bubbled up from the No. 7 spot in 2007 to third place this year. The town gets low marks for air quality and is worse than the national average for the use of "rescue" asthma medications.
No. 2: Tulsa, Okla.
Once dubbed the "Oil Capital of the World," Tulsa is now ranked as the No. 2 "Asthma Capital" of the United States, rocketing up from No. 25 in 2007. The city has a high prevalence of asthma and a low number of asthma specialists, according to data compiled by the AAFA.
No. 1: Knoxville, Tenn.
For the third time in five years, Knoxville has been ranked by the AAFA as the worst asthma city in America. High pollen counts, poor air quality, the lack of a smoking ban in all public places, and the above average usage of asthma medications all contribute to this distinction.

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- The National Weather Service and Harris County Flood Control District are looking for a few good men and women to be part of CoCoRaHS. While it might sound like the name of a bug, the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail & Snow Network is a non-profit, community-based organization that measures rain, hail and snow across the United States.
According to Jeff Lindner, coordinator for Houston-Galveston region, "You do not need a meteorology degree -- just an interest in weather conditions and a desire to learn more about how weather impacts our region." Local agencies use that data to determine exactly where heaviest rain has fallen and where the potential for flooding is greatest.Currently 338 volunteers report rainfall from their backyard around the Houston-Galveston. For more information and to join CoCoRaHS, go to the organization website here: www.cocorahs.org

Mental toughness is one of the most common terms used in sport – by athletes, coaches, spectators and the media. However, it is also one of the least understood terms. This book examines the characteristics and development of mentally tough sport performers, and presents the cutting-edge research in this area. Within these chapters, the author proposes that mental toughness is a personality style and mindset, and presents a compelling case for its inclusion within the positive psychological paradigm.
Now packed with even more rigorous scientific evidence and bang up-to-date anecdotes from the world of sport, the book presents a fascinating explanation of why some athletes are successful, and how and why they stay on top.

Series: Shortcuts
Sport generates some of the most intense feelings and levels of commitment. It is big business globaly, but also the source of the most powerful personal identifications and individual and collective pleasures. Sporting events are routine and embodied, whether in the gym, on the field or at the training ground, and they are also spectacular, for example in mega events at the stadium or, for followers at a distance, through the media of television, radio and the Internet. Large numbers of people are caught up in personal and collective investment and public engagement with sport. Why does it matter so much?
Written in a lively, accessible style, the book is brimful of vivid contemporary examples and insights from the world's leading athletes, to provide a compelling bridge between theory and practice for undergraduate and postgraduate students of sport psychology, health psychology, sport science, physical education, kinesiology and leisure management.
Instructors who adopt the book will be able to access a wealth of online teaching resources.

Match-fixing probe: 680 suspicious soccer games worldwide
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Organized crime gangs have fixed or tried to fix hundreds of soccer matches around the world in recent years, including World Cup and European Championship qualifiers and two Champions League games, Europol announced Monday.
The European Union's police agency said an 18-month review found 380 suspicious matches in Europe and another 300 questionable games outside the continent, mainly in Africa, Asia and South and Central America. It also found evidence that a Singapore-based crime syndicate was involved in some of the match-fixing.
Europol refused to name any suspected matches, players, officials or match-fixers, saying that would compromise ongoing national investigations, so it remained unclear how much of the information divulged Monday was new or had already been revealed in trials across the continent.
Even so, the picture painted by Europol was the latest body blow for the credibility of sports in general, following cyclist Lance Armstrong's admission that he used performance-enhancing drugs in all seven of his Tour de France wins.
"This is a sad day for European football (soccer)," Europol Director Rob Wainwright told reporters. He said criminals were cashing in on soccer corruption "on a scale and in a way that threatens the very fabric of the game."
Europol said 425 match officials, club officials, players and criminals from at least 15 countries were involved in fixing European soccer games dating back to 2008.
Ralf Mutschke, director of security at FIFA, the world soccer body, said the report highlighted the need for soccer authorities and police to tackle corruption together.
"The support of law enforcement bodies, legal investigations, and ultimately tougher sanctions are required, as currently there is low risk and high gain potential for the fixers," he said.
Mutschke said while FIFA can ban players, referees and club officials, it is powerless to sanction people not directly involved in the sport.
"For people outside of football, currently the custodial sentences imposed are too weak and offer little to deter someone from getting involved in match-fixing," he said. Continued...
Europol is not a police force but provides expertise and helps coordinate national police across the 27-nation European Union. It said 13 European countries were involved in this match-fixing investigation, pouring through 13,000 emails, paper trails, phone records and computer records.
Its probe uncovered (euro) 8 million ($10.9 million) in betting profits and (euro) 2 million ($2.7 million) in bribes to players and officials and has already led to several prosecutions.
"This is the tip of the iceberg," said German investigator Friedhelm Althans, who also said two World Cup qualification matches in Africa and one in Central America were among those under suspicion.
Wainwright said while many fixed soccer matches were already known from criminal trials in Europe, the Europol investigation lifted the lid on the widespread involvement of organized crime.
"(That) highlights a big problem for the integrity of football in Europe," he said.
He said a Singapore-based criminal network was involved in the match-fixing, spending up to (euro) 100,000 ($136,500) per match to bribe players and officials.
"The ringleaders are of Asian origin, working closely together with European facilitators," Europol said in a statement, but adding that "Russian-speaking" and other criminal gangs were also involved.
Wainwright said the soccer world needed a "concerted effort" to tackle the corruption.
UEFA, which oversees European soccer and organizes the Champions League, seemed surprised by the breadth of Europol's accusations. It said it expected to get more information on their investigation shortly.
"Once the details of these investigations are in UEFA's hands, then they will be reviewed by the appropriate disciplinary bodies in order that the necessary measures are taken," UEFA said in a statement. Continued...
Previous investigations have found that a World Cup qualifier between Liechtenstein and Finland in September 2009 was fixed by a referee from Bosnia, who UEFA banned for life.
Last year, UEFA expelled a Malta player implicated in fixing a European Championship qualifier between Norway and Malta in June 2007.

When should a single mom tell her child why their dad's not there?
98 Answers
For parents who don't have full-time custody of their children, what are suggestions for how to maintain a close relationship with them?
Well, make sure that your time with them is appreciated and that there is NO ARGUING...also just have fun together and ALWAYS BE HONEST WITH EACH OTHER no matter what age you have between each other. BE TRUE TO ONE ANOTHER, AND BE REAL ( just be your self).....your child will appreciate you more for it...!! ALWAYS TALK TO EACH OTHER, ALWAYS TAKE PICTURES OR VIDEOS OF EACH OTHER AND ALWAYS LOVE THEM NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO TO YOU OR SAY TO YOU....remember when you were a child and you had disputes with your parents or parent and I'm sure you must of said something to hurt them and regretted it , in other words LET THEM VENT...!!
So good luck to all concerned
I'm a mother of a 17 yr old boy who doesn't live with me and I speck from experience....I have a wonderful relationship with my son ....I can honestly say that my son is trueful to me and that's what I wanted for him......GOLDEN RULE: NEVER LIE TO EACH OTHER NO MATTER WHAT THE AGE GAP IS.....!!!!
I'm a mother of 2 and don't have custody of my kids. I don't even have joint custody. When my ex and I separated, I didn't have a job, money, a place to live and the best thing for my kids was to stay with their dad until I got on my feet. The whole time I wasn't living with them I kept in contact and seen them. After about a year, I was on my feet and had a healthy environment to live I went to get my kids. Well my ex didn't want that, so he got a lawyer and took me to court. I was only about 20 at the time and didn't have a lawyer when I went to court. I was never given the chance to get a lawyer. At court I was told that in Indiana they don't give joint custody if you weren't married. So I got screwed. Instead of me having custody, he got them and they spent all day in daycare while he was working. At night time and on the weekends they would have a babysitter because their father would do side jobs. So it was like they didn't have either parent. It was heartbreaking. I understand he had to work to provide for them, but they could of lived with me instead of being in daycare all the time. So yeah. I also know someone else who went through some tough times and had to leave their kids with the father. Well the father got remarried and ended up being diagnosed with cancer. They hired a lawyer to let the man's new wife adopt the kids because they didn't want the biological mom to have them. The lady that was trying to adopt the kids had her own kids that she left in the state of WA and owed child support. Well they had a very good lawyer and of course the court let the lady adopt the kids. I was blown away that the court allowed someone to adopt another person's kids when they left their own kids across the country. The lady was evil and wouldn't let the kids see anyone on their biological mother's side of the family. Unfortunately the cancer took away their father's life. After that their adopted mom stop letting them see their father's side of the family. There is 3 kids involved in this mess. As soon as the oldest one turned 18, he moved out of adopted mom's house and went to live with his biological mom. A few years later the middle child turned 18. And guess where he went? To his biological mom's as well. The youngest one is only 16 and I bet as soon as she's 18 she'll move as well. Keeping kids from their parents does nothing but hurt the kid!! Unless the parent is unfit to see the child, don't ever keep them away! They will most likely end up resenting you. Sorry for my rant.
Back to the question at hand. Make sure you call those kids EVERY day. Ask them how their day was, what they did, how was school, how they're doing in school, etc. Make sure you know their favorite subject in school, their favorite color; animal, etc. Know their hobbies. When my kids aren't with me I draw them pictures, write them short stories, burn CDs with their favorite artists on it. When they come to visit, I give them those special gifts. Things like that are better than any toy. That's my opinion tho.
I hope you find ways to stay close with your children when they aren't with you.
Much ♥ and Respect
Miss Jennifer
This is what I am trying to figure out. I am and always will be a great father. My kids have always come 1st. Never cheated on my ex-wife but she cheated on me and ended the marrage when I was in stage 3 cancer treatment. Problem is in colorado moms seem to have all the rights. She now has her 18 yr old boy freind living with her and my boys and never lets them spend any time with me. The courts do nothing. Yes every child deserves to have 2 parents. I am so sick of [sorry] mostly women complaing about how their ex-was so terrable. I have been meeting 100s of great fathers being kept away from their kids because their ex-wivers are vendictive women. Ladies that do this to the kids for their own personal gain are terable people and un-fit to be moms. STOP HERTING THE KIDS and grow up, it's not about you. Kids are our future our now and should be 1st. I hear it all the time. Throw him in jail he's not paying child support, I always pay mine and yes it makes me angry that I will go to jail if I don't but she can do what ever she wants. My son has to go threw every day wondering wy is moms boyfriend only 3 years older than me, wow that is going to help him grow up to look at relationships in a healthy way. Sorry for ranting just looking for answers and not from people that are crazy and vendictive, just good parents that truley love their kids.

Larry I do agree that women do have the upper hand when it comes to divorce and kids but not all of us are bad..... I am remarried and my present hubands ex wife was horrible. Two of his 3 kids didn't see him for about 5-6 years all do to her lies and bad mouthing. Once they got out of their teens they came around, figured out the lies and now are very close to their dad. Sad he missed out on all those years but there's nothing he can do but move on and look forward to the many years he still has left with them. My ex husband on the other hand wanted nothing to do with our kids after our divorce. If they didn't kiss his a** he shut them out of his life. He even has a 15 month old grandbaby he has no interest in meeting. So sad!!!!! As young adults in their 20's our kids have come to terms with not having their dad in their lives. So yes women can be bad parents but so can dads. That's really not the important thing though. What you have to do is continue to call and do whatever you can to keep good communication with your kids. Sounds like they are getting old enough to make some decisions on their own soon too. If things are strained for a few years remember when they get older they will understand better and realize what their mom is really like. Just hang in there and be the best father you can under the circumstances and for heaven sakes don't put all your garbage and built up hatred for their mother on them. The hardest thing to do is shut your mouth and not bad mouth the other parent but you have to do it. Good luck with your health and your kids.
Shari - commented on Apr 12, 2012
That is very sad but true in a lot of cases. In mine, my ex-husband just decided to fall off the face of the earth in order to avoid paying child support. My 17 year old son saw him last when he was 8. He's not gone to jail even though he owes probably 100 grand by now? You are a good man and seem sincere when saying your kids are first. Always remember that because my ex continued to say it even after having no contact with them for years. (his mom told me) yes I do have contact with her but she won't even admit he lives in Arizona. I wish you nothing but the best! Keep your head held high!
1. Most important, tell them you love them every time you can.
2. Make the most of the time you do have. It is not the quanity but the quality of the time that matters.
3. Always be available to them to talk and listen. THey need this and they want this most of all.
4. Respect the kids. They will respect you in return.
5. Hug them a lot.
6. Keep communication open all the time.
7. Encourage them in all that they do.
8. Never deviate from the way you have done things like discipline and values.
9. Make sure that the understand that no matter what both parents love them.
10. Make a big deal out of things they are proud of.
i bought a computer and learned how to video chat! it is just like having them there in front of you!
My daughter has lived with her grandmother for about 8 to 9 years, Me thinking it was the right thing to do at the time. And now she is 14 years old she has a pierced lip and thinking about getting a tattoo. My daughter has no respect for me she dont even call me mom. Its really hard for me, i know its my fault for letting her stay with her grandmother. Her father doesnt work he dont help for anything we have 3 gilrs together i have 2 with me and my oldest lives with her grandma. I am thinking anout taking her to court and file for full custody for all 3. But then im afraid. What do i do?
I have the same problem with my daughter,she is living with the father,just because she wanted to it was a big shock,but i dont have the power to stop her,im in the court her father lied alot about me,now im seeing my daugher once in a week for only 3 hrs,is sad very sad,im still fighting in the court,for me its ok that she wants to stay with the father but its not fair that i have to c her only for 3 hrs ,AFTER the big shock that i had i didint go to c her for complete 6 months,but i was calling her and sending her sms everyday,after 6 months i dicided to go for her because i calmed down a bit still hurt,but she's still my daughter,and now our relationship is getting better,we are talking,and sharing opinions,still we are not touching the argument about the court or her father,or about the lies,but atleast we are getting ok.in my opinon show always love to your childrens keep in touch evreyday,and be always intrested in what they have to say,avoids critics,avoid arguments that hurts,try to be a parent and a friend at the same time,go down their level,good luck.
My two sons have been staying with my mom since last summer and will be coming back home this June, but I have tried to stay close to them by talking with them as if I still have control..I let them know what I still expect of them..helping them to understand I still care about the things they do. I ask them about their days and how they have excelled...If they are misbehaving for any reasons or getting negative grades..I ask them what happened and encourage them to work on whatever it is..
I am still in their lives in this way and when they get back home they will still know to expect the same .
I Have three children who are not in my care and are being raised in thress different homes :( I make it a priority to call my oldest who;s 9, every single dy no matter what!! he's into video games and friends now, and some days its tough...but i make sure i tell him i love him and always will!! and that he can come to me for any reason....my middle daughter was adopted by her foster family and i only get to see her 2x a yr :( ver heartbreaking....i put together a backpack or pgk of things for her....pictures letters, cloting etc...she always enjoys recieving these gifts. at one visit last summer she told me she couldnt wait to grow up and buy a horse to ride to me and visit me all the time :(.....then my baby devyn is 2....iam allowed to see her 2x a week for 2hrs a time....ths is a hard situation as Iam still with he father, but its a very unhealthy relationship with no trust respect or communication unless were having agood day....he is part of the reason i do not have custody of my kids as he is a adrug dealer and very emotionally abusive....Iam trying to get out...but i have burned bridges with many friends and family....i feel soo stuck, and scared....iam alone in the relationship so i my as well b alone n happy!! I Hope all you mothers know that ur babies are precious gifts from above, and that hopefully i will get out of this soon....tell them u love them and that it wasnt ur decision but an authority or judge's decision.....tell them u will be there for them no matter what!!!
I too am having a hard time with this. Although the suggestions on here are great they aren't applicable to me as I have a 6 year old. I try to call everyday but he really has no interest in talking on the phone. His father doesn't help by allowing him to watch TV or play video games while we are on the phone. Not only is it a struggle to get him to talk to me I feel that I am in the dark about everything since his father doesn't talk to me either. I am so frustrated. I got him a kids tablet for Christmas and uploaded Skype I'm hoping this will help...well, if his dad adds their Wi-Fi to it. Does anyone with younger kids have any ideas?
I recently gave custody of my 2 sons 6 and to to my mom due to the fact I have mental illness borderline personality disorder, depression and anxiety after years of my children going back and forth depending on my mental stability so they could have a permanent stability in there life but how I do I keep a relationship with with them and make sure they know I love them and think about them
When you do see that child, try to spend every moment with them, send them letters and photos and updates on how you are and ask them how they are doing in general, at school, send birthday cards, call as often as you can or send a message saying you are thinking of them. Ensure that when they are visiting you , that they know how much you love them and miss them, validate who they are as children and as people and as what role they play in your life (which should be an important one) and show an interest in their school and hobbies and support them with that.
My sons father doesn't live in the same state as us. He hasn't seen him in years. But I make sure that my son knows, loves and respects his father. ( My son is 3). So what I do is send him pictures via email often, calls often, we have tango video calls on our cells (and ipod) and theres skype, yahoo video chat, etc.
FB & Skype videocalls help me get close to my son, who's 18yrs old. we get to see each other & talk like we're just together... worship together online is good too...
If you and they have a computer, get SKYPE so you can see each other and talk to each other. Maybe you could get a good night call going or depending on their ages, tell them a story. Send them little things that are not expensive, like from the dollar store, like a bookmark with something they are interested in, or other personal interests.
Besides spending quality time with them when you do have them call them. Just because you can't be in the same home as them doesn't mean you can't talk to them. Maybe before they go to bed you can call and ask how their day was. Make sure the conversations stay about them. With all the computer tech. these days you could ask the person who has full custody if you could skype with them during the week. It's a free service and all you need is a camera for your computer if it isn't built in. They are inexpensive too. Kids just want to know that their parents love them and won't forget about them. Equally important is always keep your promises. If you are supposed to have the kids or call or skype do it......... Nothing can ruin a relationship faster than broken promises.

Been trying to do this but she looks at caller ID and hangs up and so does her 18 yr old boy toy. As for my sons I think his keeping such a distance is his way of dealing with me being sick [cancer] . So I just keep praying and keep calling even if I get no answer. I just worrie that someday when I am gone he will feel guilty and I don't want that, so I made a DVD to tel him that when I do die I never blamed him and will always be with him. Any suggestion would be great.
Denise - commented on Apr 12, 2012
How about getting your kids a prepaid phone just for your calls. That's if you can get it to them some how. I can't believe that the courts aren't letting you see them. Do you have any visitation at all? I'm sure they is scared about the cancer but that is something you could talk him through if you ever get to see or talk to him. I think the DVD idea is great. Might want to give them some advice on life, morals, work ethics, etc... on there too. Hope at some point things change and you get to see or talk to him. Just dont stop fighting. It will eventually pay off.
I do this with grandchildren just like my Gramdma did with me, she was the great maker of wonderful memories, I have so many memories of her and I doing such fun things together, I will miss he till the day I die. Those fun times did bind us and along with the comforting cuddles.
I make Fridays a special day to where I go and eat lunch with my 5 yr old at his school. This gives us the opportunity to spend time together without the other siblings around. Just be creative and enjoy.
Larry - commented on Apr 12, 2012
That is so cool. I did that with the kids, it was a Derek day or an Austin day, jst made them feel special. Kids are the most precious gift we get in life and they should feel that they are special. Still do not see my kids but will never ever give up on them.

Sorry, but I havent seen any different than abusive men, and lots of women who want them and support them and who display abuse too. The male has a history of being the head of the home and with this, people do abuse priviledges, and the male is the head in society with men being so. Sex, pornography, drugs, dominiation, pinch bruising, unreliability, causing others to be unreliable, going to war with a greater lack of empathy is common with a lot of men. This is what most women put up with, whether you are tired of it or not.
Leigh - commented on Nov 7, 2012
If I could turn back time, I wouldn't have had kids. Dogs are easier, except they outlive me. Bonding occurs where family members support each other to the child. I always did this with my children; mediated, so they would get on with others, but it never came back to me. What I received was competition and selfishness. Then it was fighting over the children, and the best way was to bribe them with things, or spoiling them. The family courts encouraged this attitude. I then became the discipliner, the one they hated, although schools would report back to my family, that I had a real love for my children in how I behaved. I am the one behind their success, but the one they don't want to see. They want to see fun and things. I give them discipline and arguments. I failed in that area. I had too many bad people around me. Too much selfishness. But I succeeded in making them successful with fitness, education, coping ability. All in all, they are still spoilt. Rather than have my children bonded to me, I don't get much into liking people, or them for that matter to care.

It's an annual program called "Soles 4 Souls." Each year the Union Rescue Mission in Wichita partners with a local foot surgeon to provide free foot exams and new shoes for homeless men.
Dr. Naomi Shields has partnered with the shelter for the past few years. Each man is given a thorough foot exam. Shoe wear professionals also fit every man with their own pair of brand new shoes.
"These people go out and walk miles in the inclement weather," says Dr. Shields. "We can help them have a good pair of sneakers, a good pair of work boots, something they can put on their feet and walk in."
Earlier this year the Union Rescue Mission conducted a sock drive. They collected more than 2,600 pairs of socks in the area.

Q: The US Department of Defence recently issued its 2012 Report on Military and Security Developments Involving the People's Republic of China and commented on the military development of China. How does China comment?
A: The US Defence Department's report spreads the "China threat theory" by pointing fingers at the justified and normal defence enhancement of China. China is firmly opposed to that and has made representations with the US.
China is firmly committed to the road of peaceful development, adheres to the defence policy that is defensive in nature and steadfastly maintains and promotes peace, stability and prosperity of the Asia-Pacific and the whole world. China's development of a limited military capability is completely for the sake of safeguarding national independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity without aiming at any country or any specific target. For countries that harbour no hostility toward China, they have no need to feel concerned or worry about that.
We urge the US to respect facts, change its mindset, stop the wrong move of issuing similar reports year after year and do more things to promote bilateral and military-to-military relations as well as mutual trust and cooperation between the two countries, instead of the contrary.

Decent budget option for a night stay close to the Grand Canyon. The reception staff was nice and friendly. The wifi internet was working well. I was really glad the air conditioning had a heating function as it was extremely cold in the beginning of April when I visited. Actually there was a bit of snow outside in the morning.

i like the other one better but this one is so good and you all need to try it. it feels so awesome
Inverted 69, the inverted cousin of the traditional 69 position, is a great way to change the angles on the original. The top partner needs to make sure to position their genitals at the right height, as the bottom partner's mobility tends to be a little restricted.
i enjoy this one as much as the next guy does but for me and my girlfriend this one doesent happen too ofthen eh i dont care i still love the 69
seems like a perfect way to deepthroat
Yes, it is! :-)))) My gf love it everytime I go that way on her.
I do love this one. His weight on top of me. Mashing his face in my pussy.
the more I get basically face fucked by the woman and smothered by her pussy the happier boy I am;)...glad there's a "smash" fan besides me...
well damn iam try this one today
....does this feel good??...i mean it sounds like you all enjoyed it...
Vamp...it is a GREAT position:) you need to try it and it'll blow your mind:)
I didn't, but the one time I did this, my boyfriend was drunk. Forget headpalming - he had me pinned down with his hips, and I was smothered and gagging the whole time (no more Jack for him). Plus, for all his skill with his hands, he's not so great at oral... If your guy is attentive, it may work.
mmmm yes I love doing this, its a big turn on for me
Please tell me how to download sex positions for future reference
He wanted to try the den dover postion but of course like a clutz i fell over and we both landed on the floor. It was too funny! I stayed on the floor cracking up and he went right on top of me and suprised me into this position. It was kind of hard for me because he pleasures me so well i tried the best i can to give back.
What a nice way to enjoy to make a mistake into a great time. I love having my cock sucked on while I enjoy her pussy. But I know what you mean by being able to enjoy it totally since you have to also concentrate on working on your partner.
this is one of my favorites! i love doing this one with my boyfriend! it turns me on so much!
i prefer this one, the other one makes me choke and i probably look gross from that position. but this way i can take him deep down my throat and let him shoot all over my tonsils. mmm theres nothing better then giving a blow job, NOTHING! :)
Me tooooo =) The other one is just too complicated and in this one we both get what we want
Me tooooo =) The other one is just too complicated and in this one we both get what we want
i love this one. The man is getting and the woman is getting!
This is so FUN!! I do it with my head off hanging off the bed, that way my guy can get his cock deeper down my throat.
I find this 69 position easier for me to preform head on my guy. For some reason when I give him head in the normal 69 position I tend to gag more than in this postition. I'm able to fit more of him in my mouth.
So weeet!!! Lush position
to see so many women like this particular one! Since I'm bigger than average I would worry about choking her this way ;) Although I guess that might be what you like about it? I've only ever done this with the girl on the top or sideways. But I'm going to have to incorporate this one into my arsenal!
you should cause its incredible for both the girl and the guy!
uuhhh!! im getting soo wet
i know how you feel watching the animations and reading peoples reviews is making me hard
I thrust hard when my husband is licking away. I stroke him hard and it's nice that you can both get so turned on while pleasuring the other. If you can cum at the same time, it's really great. Be ready to swollow thouugh, girls, because it tends to just shoot down your throat since his dick is basically jammed in your mouth. I notice the harder I suck and stroke, the better his service is, too. For the man: put your first two fingers right in her pussy and then out over and over while licking her clit. Make nice slirping noises to confirm how wet she is. The vibration of his moans are also a great pleasure while he's busy at work down on you. Complete bliss. I'm wet just describing it. Wish hubby would get home from golf!
Mmm I agree this position is devine. It is also great to change the shape of your tongue
whilst licking, i.e. sometimes flat over a wide area and sometimes narrow (or rolled up)
and inserted deep inside in order to taste those fabulous juices.It really is great to give
oral attention whilst at the same time your cock head is being polished by her tongue to shine like
silver. I also like to insert a finger or two whilst licking her out. A great idea is to take a sip of champagne every now and then, whilst you enoy French kissing that gorgeous and amazing little thing. It really is one of the most beautiful things in this world!
woww qreat description ;D lol
Wish my bf was doing this to me now!!!!
Very hot!
My boyfriend tied me to the bed with my head off the end... he was standing up and i was giving him head, and he leaned on the bed and went down on me at the same time... It was fantastic!
I dislike my bum, but realy want to 69.
On this position it seems that the guy sees my pussy rather than bum. so ill give it a try.
Cock to be forced in my mouth.. make me feel like i'm going to choke
i know the feeling.
Done this with a fuck buddy. Love being in control forcing cock into her mouth. She finds it a turn on too.
this is the way to go for sure
me and my bf does it all the time, and its amazing, he get my pussy nice and wet and i get his cock nice a and wet so that way when we start fucking it will be amazing, beside its good lubrication hehe :P
This is a nice way to do it. I usually start out giving oral to her before we end up in this position. She gets really turned on and then just needs to have my cock in her mouth so we move into the 69 position. With my cock in her mouth, it turns her on even more. But the combination of tasting her pussy and having her suck my cock is just the best of two worlds. We are both so wet that when we fuck there is no need at all for any extra lubrication.
this is my most favorite position even my ex-gf like this too and we always do this first before we proceed to another position..damn i feel so horny again!
this the way to do it
My bf is at least a whole foot taller then I am.
So0o this would be pretty hard To do,It might not hurt to try sometime
My boyfriend & I ALWAYS did 69 sideways, & then found this position & we love it!
My husband and I tried this last night and found it to be much more enjoyable for the both of us vs. the original 69. I was able to relax and just take him in my mouth, while he was able to widen my legs and get deeper inside me, with the ability to move around more with his mouth and hands. The only iffy things is he could get a little carried away with thrusting directly into my mouth.
i did this position with my GF. really wondful
i agree with what everyone has been saying...this one is deffinately better than the original as far as reaching all the right spots.
Me And My Boyfriend are both begginers but we want to try this but hes scared that he will be rubbish and disapoint me as he has never licked a girl out befor and iv been eaten out so no what its like
could this be a problem :/
just tell him to relax, it's not biggiiee.
tell him to take his time. Guide him a little, tell him what to do and how you like it.
( : good luck!
partly cos i like being on top and partly because i find it easier to breathe thru my nose. anyone else notice that?

We are merely the stars' tennis balls, struck and bandied which way please them. - V.iv
John Webster's brutal and astonishing play tells the story of one of the stage's greatest women and two of its greatest villains. The widowed Duchess of Malfi tragically defies her two powerful brothers by secretly marrying her household steward. When they uncover her deception, the brothers plot a series of horrific events that leads them all to destruction in this dark tapestry of sibling rivalry, forbidden love, unquenchable ambition, and ensuing madness.

I found these on Pinterest and made them for a co-worker's birthday. She is not a chocolate fan, but loves my lemon bars. Tried these to do something new and WOW they turned out great. I tend to add more lemon because I like big powerful flavors, but they were GREAT. Plus the house smells good too ;-) .

The Evarts Lady Cats held off a scrappy Rosspoint team to capture the county fifth- and sixth-grade basketball championship Tuesday at James A. Cawood Elementary School.
Evarts led most of the way before edging Rosspoint 21-20.
"Rosspoint's defense gave us fits tonight," Evarts coach Jamie Smith said. "You've got to tip your hat to them. We've played them four times this year and it's hard to beat a team in and out, in and out.
"These kids always look for each other and have never been a selfish team. I'm just tickled to death."
Evarts (16-1) was led by Morgan Blakley's nine points. Ashley Day scored six.
Brooklyn Collins paced Rosspoint (12-5) with eight points. Madison Blanton added four.
"Early on, we couldn't get our shots to fall," said Rosspoint coach Jamie Sergent. "In the second half, we came out and did what we were suppose to do."
Two baskets by Ashley Day gave Evarts a 6-4 lead after one quarter. Hannah Jones and Blakley each scored to make it 10-4 with four minutes left in the first half. Evarts held a 14-8 advantage at halftime.
The scoring by both teams in the third quarter was slowed by turnovers. Evarts turned the ball over 10 times in the period while Rosspoint committed seven. Evarts took a 17-11 lead into the fourth quarter.
Day's jumper with 5:15 to play made it 19-11. Two straight baskets by Collins pulled Rosspoint within four with 3:44 remaining.
Two free throws by Dixie Ewing made it 21-15 at the 3:03 mark. Rosspoint fought back with a basket by Blanton at 1:28 to play and a 3-pointer by Kaitlyn Cornett with 44 seconds remaining.
However, Evarts held on for the victory. The Evarts Lady Cats opened the season by winning nine consecutive games. A loss at Cawood on Sept. 18 turned the rest of the season into seven straight wins including the county title.
"Overall, the season has been awesome," said Smith. "Back in February, when we were in AAU in Bristol, and won a tournament out there, something clicked in their heads and since that point on they just believed in every game. It showed here tonight."
Sergent was pleased with the season for Rosspoint.
"We lost to Evarts by 30 in the first game and tonight we lost by one, so we've improved a lot."
Katelyn Johnson fired in 34 points as Cawood claimed the third-place game with a 42-20 win over Wallins. The Lady Comets closed the season with a 14-3 record. "We defeated every team in the county this year, so that says a lot about our basketball team," Cawood coach Teddy Stephens said. "I'm super proud of my girls. They never miss a practice, they're unselfish and have worked very hard."
Cawood held an 8-6 lead after one quarter. Johnson scored five points in the second quarter as the lead grew to 17-10 at the break.
Johnson had all of her teams 12 points in the third quarter as the Lady Comets took a 29-15 lead into the fourth period.
Johnson nailed her fourth 3-pointer of the game early in the fourth quarter as Cawood cruised to the victory. Whitney Wilson paced Wallins (8-9) with 10 points.
EVARTS (21) — Morgan Blakley 9, Ashley Day 6, Dixie Ewing 2, Hannah Jones 2, Kaitlin Krahenbuhl 2. ROSSPOINT (20) — Brooklyn Collins 8, Madison Blanton 4, Kaitlyn Cornett 3, Abigail Stevens 2, Cassie Farley 2, Hannah Hoskins 1.
CAWOOD (42) — Katelyn Johnson 34, Madison Cole 4, Amber Irvin 2, Hannah Stephens 2.
WALLINS (20) — Whitney Wilson 10, Peyton Griffin 5, Hannah Woods 5.
