I'm not sure how we acquired our first piano; it just showed up one day. My mother had visions of me being an accomplished pianist. That just didn't happen.
One of my first jobs was shining shoes in a barbershop. The going rate was 25 cents a pair. I was convinced I was going to be rather busy and purchased a change machine that mounted on my belt. I was only 12 or 13 years old and the change thing was pretty big.
I think all adults have thought at one time or another that it would be fun to go back to our high school or college years. The caveat is that we would want to return with our current level of knowledge.
My parents came along a little too late for the rock 'n' roll era. They were much more comfortable with the likes of Andy Williams, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.
GLENNVILLE - We may be known as "The Peach State" and the "Poultry Capital of the World," but there is really one crop that is exclusively ours and it makes its annual debut this week.
It is hard to be sad when we lose folks who have lived a long and productive life. Last week, we lost two.
There used to be an unwritten rule in the South: No self-respecting woman or man would be caught wearing white prior to Easter and after Labor Day. I have heard folks from the North suggest that the beginning date was Memorial Day.
I don't know who gave me my first taste of bread, but I must have liked it. Bread and I have been lifelong friends, although right now we are enduring a time of separation. We still see each other.

As neighbors go, I don't know that you could have had a better one than Claude Bagwell. He died last week at the age of 91. I don't know many men who legitimately wear the label Renaissance man, but Claude could and did. I don't know that he ever found an insurmountable mechanical challenge. He was one of those men with a plethora of skills. Over a half century ago, he made the prototype ...

College football coaches often find themselves being pitchmen for everything from soft drinks to pickup trucks.
The graduation season is upon us and with it comes songs we only hear at commencement exercises.
At just about every college you can think of, there is a tradition uniquely identified with the football team. Some of them are historic while others are almost hysterical.
It is easy to blame television for a lot of things. We have seen many things that were once taboo become acceptable because we saw them happen on TV.
The folks in Hollywood seem to run short on ideas from time to time. They seem to thrive on remakes of old movies. I saw a story last year that said movie studios were looking at 50 potential remakes.

Young Professional Profile: Katie Murray, TradeWinds Island Resorts
6/18/2012 | Next Up
In the hospitality industry, sales is often considered one of the most difficult departments for fresh graduates to enter. Hotels typically look for sales associates with experience in preparing and negotiating contracts, a network of clients, and a proven track record for hitting and exceeding their sales goals. The first "Young Professional Profile" is dedicated to Katie Murray, small meetings manager at TradeWinds Island Resorts, who was able to not only break into the sales department immediately after graduating, but was able to meet and surpass the high expectations of her superiors, co-workers, and clients.

Career Progression
Activities Intern, TradeWinds Island Resorts; Catering Sales Manager, TradeWinds Island Resorts;
Small Meetings Manager, TradeWinds Island Resorts
Lacey Hagen: Could you describe your current responsibilities as a small meetings manager?
Katie Murray
: I handle the small meetings market (10-19 rooms on peak) for two resorts on St Pete Beach, FL. TradeWinds Island Resorts are made of the Island Grand, a 4 Diamond Resort, and the Sandpiper, a 3 Diamond Resort. My main responsibilities include soliciting and booking group business that enables the hotel to meet or exceed revenue goals in rooms, food and beverage and meeting room rental.
LH: What have been your biggest accomplishment(s) during your two years at TradeWinds?
: My biggest achievements so far were being promoted within the company two times in two years and also becoming a "100% Club Member" in 2011. The "100% Club" is for anyone in sales who hits 100% or more of their room-nights goal which is set at the beginning of the year. They are invited to a dinner and awards ceremony, then given a plaque in recognition of outstanding sales effort and goal achievement.
LH: What have been the biggest challenges you have had to overcome during your transition from a student/intern to a young professional?
: TradeWinds took a risk hiring me as a catering sales manager at the age of 23 with absolutely no experience in that field. I challenged myself to work extra hard and prove to the company that I was the right person for the job. My main duty was to book and service weddings at the resort so earning the respect of my clients and co-workers at such a young age was not always easy. When I would meet with my clients for the initial site tour you could bet that the majority of them asked me how old I was right off the bat. I was confident, worked hard and built my reputation one step at a time.
LH: Any advice for other young professionals?
: Do an internship. The only way that I was able to get my first fulltime position at TradeWinds was because the sales managers knew me from my internship and were able to get a trusted reference from my direct boss in the activities department. When you have an internship, whether it is paid, unpaid, full-time or part-time, always try to show the quality of work you can produce and what you can bring to the table. You never know what positions can open up and who will take notice of your skill set.
It's also important to be open to relocation. I was raised and went to college in Indiana. I could have accepted internships closer to home but I recognized that TradeWinds would be the best opportunity for me career-wise. I went outside of my comfort zone, only planning on staying for the five month term of the internship, and ended up happily staying in Florida and establishing the next phase of my life.
And don't forget to be confident. You are not going to know all the answers at first but take the time to research the answers to those questions. Don't be afraid to ask co-workers and shadow them during any downtime. I learned a lot in my first year just by listening to my associate interact with clients over the phone.
LH: Where do you see your career progressing?
: My goal is to eventually become a national sales manager for the TradeWinds. It is always good to clearly define what your next career goal will be. I know what I want and will do whatever it takes to get there. Right now that means working hard and focusing on being successful in my current position.
LH: Finally, do you see any trends becoming popular in the small meetings market?
: Incentive travel is making a comeback. More and more companies are rewarding their employees for hitting their goals and/or having a successful year.
Next Up's "Young Professional Profile" will be a bi-weekly post that profiles young professionals in the hospitality industry that have achieved success and are making an impact early in their careers. If you work with or know anyone that would fit the criteria of being profiled, feel free to contact Lacey Hagen at

How are students selected?
Are HSF scholarships based on merit or financial need?
I do not come from a low-income family. Do I have a chance to receive a scholarship?
Can I apply to more than one scholarship?
Can I receive more than one HSF scholarship per academic year?
I have a really high GPA and consider myself a strong candidate. Why didn't I receive a scholarship?
I have been selected, and I am or will be enrolled at more than one institution to make me full-time, am I still eligible for the scholarship?
Successful candidates are selected on the basis of academic achievement, financial need, personal strengths, and leadership. All completed applications are evaluated by ACT certified readers. Once they have been evaluated, we then begin our rigorous process of selection. Some scholarships are open to all class levels, institutions, majors and locations whereas, there are others that have more specific criteria that we must match eligible applicants too. It is important that the applicants "intended" school information on their application be as up to date as possible prior to our selection process.
Successful candidates are selected on the basis of academic achievement, financial need, as well as on personal strengths, and leadership.
Yes. Financial need is only one aspect of many that we look at when selecting awardees.
Yes. You can apply to as many scholarships that you are eligible for. However, you may only receive one HSF scholarship per academic year.
No. HSF strives to help as many Latino students attend college as possible. You can apply to as many as you are eligible to apply to; however, if you are selected to receive an award, you can only receive one award per academic year.
Every year we receive many excellent applications and only have a limited number of funds to award. Unfortunately, the applications we get from deserving students greatly outnumber the awards we have available. As such, we have a very competitive process and sometimes even the strongest students do not get selected.
It's also important to remember that if your application is not complete, you will not be considered for a scholarship. Many bright students miss out on opportunities because they submit incomplete applications. Take charge of the application process by following up with school officials as well as recommenders and making sure they have completed the forms they're responsible for correctly and on time. Make sure to follow all instructions carefully. Have a teacher, counselor or parent look over your application to make sure you didn't overlook anything.
Documentation between your home institution and host institution will be required.
You must submit the following items:
*It is important that these documents are mailed to us in one envelope in order to avoid delays in reviewing and processing your documents. We will need to review the documents first in order to make the final decision.*
I have been selected and I applied to multiple scholarships. Can I wait to see if I can get a higher award amount?
Our intentions are to match the best scholarship to the selected students. Selected applicants are placed in the best programs possible. Once you are selected for one scholarship, you are out of the running for the other applications you submitted. We highly encourage you to accept the scholarship offer as there are no guarantees a better scholarship will be offered.

Newly appointed UNICEF Ambassador in China Maggie Cheung visits a woman living with HIV in Ruili City, in China's Yunnan Province. The woman is a recipient of UNICEF income-generation training and peer support. |
BEIJING, China, 10 May 2010 – Acclaimed international film star Maggie Cheung has been appointed a UNICEF Ambassador in China.
With this appointment, Ms. Cheung will dedicate her fame to the cause of bettering the lives of vulnerable and disadvantaged children in China. She joins a prestigious group of nearly 200 UNICEF Ambassadors – representing fields such as entertainment, sports and the arts – who work to raise public awareness of the priorities of children worldwide.
'Greatly honoured'
Appointed on 29 April, Ms. Cheung subsequently travelled with UNICEF Representative in China Dr. Yin Yin Nwe to Yunnan Province to visit communities and children hard-hit by HIV and AIDS. The new UNICEF Ambassador had a firsthand look at how children are affected by the epidemic and how efforts to scale up HIV prevention and care are helping these communities.

UNICEF Ambassador Maggie Cheung gives a teddy bear and a notebook to a girl who is HIV-positive in China's Yunnan Province. |
"I have long respected the work of UNICEF in different parts of the world," said Ms. Cheung. "I am greatly honoured by this new role as a spokesperson and advocate for the most vulnerable children in China, and looking forward to helping to improve public awareness on critical issues facing children."
The first UNICEF Ambassador was US actor and comedian Danny Kaye, who was appointed 'Ambassador-at-Large' in the 1950s. Another of the most famous Goodwill Ambassadors was Audrey Hepburn. Today, UNICEF Ambassadors and advocates include US actress Mia Farrow, Belgian astronaut Frank De Winne, Canadian composer Steve Barakatt and Her Majesty Queen Rania Al-Abdullah of Jordan.
Spotlighting children's issues
"We are delighted to welcome Maggie Cheung as UNICEF Ambassador in China," said Dr. Nwe. "As one of the world's best known Chinese cinema artists, she will help us to continue raising the profile of children's issues. We are thoroughly delighted that such a respected and acclaimed artist will lend her voice to the cause of children."

UNICEF China aims to enlist Maggie Cheung's support for public advocacy on key child rights issues, such as support for children affected by HIV and AIDS, migrants and children with disabilities.
UNICEF will begin a new five year programme of cooperation with the Government of China in 2011, focusing on the most vulnerable children and women in the country.

Promtastic Products
Wednesday, April 02, 2008
My own prom experiences were pretty faboo. I attended my junior prom with my BF at the time, Bob. The whole situation was very high school-girl-in-suburbia. He was VERY pretty (prettier than I… one of the many reasons we broke up and I have since only been able to stomach very virile dudes) and provided me with a gorge multi-colored corsage that matched my cinderella-at-the-ball blue gown to perfectsh. My fabulous gay friend Ted escorted me to my senior prom where I wore a champagne Jessica McClintock to-die gown and he wore a coordinated champagne vest. We talked massive trash on Bob and his new GF whilst dancing and surprisingly, it turned out to be better than the previous prom.
For each prom, I would allocate, naturally, about 4 hours for Pre-Prom Beautification. There have been some pretty mage developments in makeup since my prom. Since this poll indicated that there are at least a few under 18 gals who are BBJ readers, this post is for them. I've compiled my favorite promtastic products that I only wish were available in 1998.
The Heatherette for M.A.C. Collection just SCREAMS prom to me. I'll admit it: when I first saw photos of the collection online, it looked a little... Planet Unicorn. But upon trying it out for myself, I've identified some key adorably-packaged pieces that when used SEPARATELY are totes promtastic and are just dying to be packed away in your little prom clutch.
Heatherette Lipstick in Melrose Mood is so very Elle Woods pink. I envision it with a sultry smoky eye and a 60s updo. Very diva, girls. VERY diva.
Heatherette Lipglass in Style Minx - the title says it all, doesn't it? This saucy hot pink number provides just enough vanilla-scented shine. I'd pair it with some serious Angelina Jolie-esque winged liner.
I would carry this Heatherette Trio 1 in my purse with me as well - it boasts an absolutely enormous mirror. Your friends will be dying for you to pass it over during the buffet dinner. The shadow trio houses three delectable shades in sparkly pink, turquoise, and blue-flecked dusky black. The last shade would be phenom applied as a vampy liner with some water or some Paula Dorf Transformer, which transforms powder shadow into liquid liner.
Are you attending a prom? Tell me everything about it in the comments, from the dress to the inspiration. Start at the beginning, end at the end. Go.

Great post! I'll have to remember it for my prom eventually.
I have a question for you though, since you went to highschool in fairly recent times compared to my mother...I want to go to the next dance at school...just one of the regular dances...and I've never gone to one before. I'm sixteen, if that helps. I would be going with my friends since I'm not dating anyone right now. What am I supposed to wear, etc? Any ideas? Thanks! - 7:03 PM
- Jennifer said...
It has been a while (won't say how long) since my prom and you just brought back the images with your McClintock. OMG if you wore McClintock, you were considered high fashion back in the day!
BTW I think that I too would have had a better time with a gay friend too! - 11:30 PM
- Fabulista said...
Hey Nikki!
I love that you have a dance coming up! Okay. I watch a lot of Newport Harbor and read Seventeen and Teen Vogue so I THINK I can advise you.
I would wear a jersey material (T shirt material) short sleeved short dress (not crazy short unless you have fab legs, but def above the knee) with tights or leggings if it's cold. I'm not sure when the dance is. OR, I would wear either a long tank or short sleeved cute T shirt (maybe with puffy sleeves?) with a few fun gold charm or locket necklaces with skinny jeans. You can get cute ones at Forever 21 or at HM. If you don't have a shirt in mind, I'd suggest going to Urban Outfitters, Forever 21, HM, or the Brass Plum section of Nordstrom if you live near one. The juniors dept of any dept store will also have a great selection of both jeans and T's.
As for shoes, I'd say either cute flats or some roundtoed platform heels in a fun metallic leather - bronze, silver or gold. Let me know what you end up wearing!
- Fabulista said...
Hi Jennifer!
I know, Mclintock is so vomitatious these days. But it was so IT back then. What did you wear? - 11:04 AM
- Jennifer said...
ok...well...keep in mind, this was the late 80's here add NJ into the mix and it's a recipe for some hideous prom attire.
so...for my first prom, I wore a hand me down bridesmaid dress...taffeta I think.
For the second, my mom bought me a dress from a dress shop. Royal blue knee length with a sequin bodice, a peplum, and a...ready for it?...bow. It also came with a bolero jacket complete with puffy sleeves and shoulder pads.
Wow. - 4:53 PM
- Fabulista said...
Jennifer, that is HILAR. I'm actually LOLing. NJ in the 80s... it was a truly special time!
Thank you for the great tips!!
I'm 18 and my prom is this Friday, April 18th. I was thinking about getting my makeup done, but I've had a few too many unfortunate experiences with getting it done professionally. So, I decided that I'd do it myself.
My dress is silky black with silver as the secondary color. Any ideas as to what I should do with my eye makeup? - 7:54 PM
- Fabulista said...
Hi Sunshine! I've posted an answer to your question:

Light cakes are always much appreciated as, then, I generally don't use my whole stock of goods at once, thus meaning that no big expenses have to be made, but also because they give a lot of pleasure without enlarging the waistline of the whole family!...
This cake is very simple, yet very enjoyable. It's fluffy airy texture and amaretto flavor make it a very yummylicious and delicate cake for all occasions (children's 4 o'clock treat, sweet temptation, dessert, etc...). It is humble, but it will nonetheless be very successful!
This recipe was adapted by Nic from Bakingsheet (www.bakingsheet.blogspot.com, an interesting blog dedicated to the baking world) who took it from a recipe for Chocolate Marble Cake by Alice Meldrich (Chocolate And The Art Of Low-Fat Desserts). And it was then my turn to personalize this readapted recipe...
300g Plain white flour
1 Tsp Baking powder
1/2 Tsp Baking Soda
1/2 Tsp Salt
180-220g Castor sugar (I used 180g)
1 Egg (~50g)
70g Unsalted butter, at room temperature
1-1 1/3 Cup (~280g) Plain yoghurt
1 Tsp Almond extract
Powder sugar
1. Peheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a bowl, sift together the flour. baking powder, baking soda and salt.
3. Cream the butter with the sugar, until light and fluffy.
4. Add the egg and beat well until blended.
5. Mix in the yoghurt and almond extract.
6. Stir in the dry ingredients in batches until totally combined.
7. Spread evenly into a greased 22cm (9") round (springform) tin.
8. Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
9. Let cool and sprinkle with powder sugar.
You might need to use a little more yoghurt so be sure you have some left on stock, but normally this quantity should be ok.
You can also use nonfat yoghurt if you wish.
Other tastes can be used (vanilla, lemon extract, coffee extract, rum extract, etc...). This cake is quite adaptable when it comes to adding other ingredients or different flavors...
Serving suggestions:
Eat the cake at any time or as a light dessert cake served with fresh red fruits (strawberries, raspberries, etc...).

The board will vote on this option June 23 whether to begin the reversal process. Chairman Lane Lynchard said the process will take time and public input will be needed. He also said if the public wants to keep certain parts of the Plan, such as protecting the view of the Sound, that is a possibility too.

New principals to lead four McKinney ISD campuses
By Dan Eakin, email@example.com
The 2012-2013 school year will begin in about a month for students in the McKinney Independent School District.
Aug. 27 is the first day of school for students, with staff-development and teacher work days scheduled for Aug. 16-24.
New principals will be on four of the 31 McKinney ISD campuses. They include Logan Faris at McKinney High School, Alan Arbabi at Dowell Middle School, Amber Epperson at Malvern Elementary and Megan Richards at Valley Creek Elementary.
Replacing him at Dowell will be Arbabi, who has been promoted from assistant principal at the school. Arbabi has more than 10 years administrative experience. Before coming to McKinney as assistant principal at Scott Johnson Middle School, he was assistant principal of Chickasha Junior High School in Oklahoma, and at Coyle Middle School in Rowlett.
Epperson is moving from principal at Valley Creek Elementary to be the principal at Malvern Elementary. She joined McKinney ISD staff in 2003, first as assistant principal, then principal, at Webb Elementary, before taking the Valley Creek position.
Valley Creek Elementary will be familiar territory for Richards. Before becoming assistant principal there, she was been a classroom teacher for several years at the school.
In addition to the four new principal positions, McKinney ISD has also announced that Jimmy Bowser is assuming duties as associate principal at McKinney High School. He is coming from Frisco where he was assistant principal at Lone Star High School. He previously held assistant principal positions in Wylie and Greenville.

The homicide unit is investigating the death of a man who collapsed at the Drop-In Centre early Sunday morning.
Alan Facey, director of finance and administration at the shelter, said there was a stabbing under the 5th Avenue flyover around 6:40 a.m.
"The victim made his way to the Drop-In Centre and collapsed in the driveway," Facey said.
"Our staff provided first aid assistance until EMS and CPS arrived."
EMS spokesman Adam Loria said the victim, a man in his forties, was brought to the Foothills Medical Centre in critical, life-threatening condition.
Police said he was declared deceased at the hospital, and the homicide unit is investigating.
The man's name has not been released.
"The staff who provided first aid did not recognize him, so I would suggest he's probably not a client at the Drop-In Centre," Facey said.
He said the staff worked on the victim for six minutes until emergency crews arrived.
"The staff is coping as well as can be expected. We've brought in additional staff for the day so that those people directly involved can go home. Also, we have counselling staff available for them as well," Facey said.
"We don't know of anybody who actually saw the altercation. Our video surveillance does not go under the bridge."
Police are calling it a suspicious death, and the homicide unit will release more information when it is available.

Justin Bieber: 40 Million Brand Advocates Strong
With the WOMMY Awards heating up, WOMMA has asked us to consider word of mouth worthy moments that have occurred at Awards Ceremonies over the years. Rather than focus on ceremonial moments, I opted to focus on the people who make these ceremonies….ceremonial. You know, the ones who sit in the first four rows; the actresses, performers or singers who are the reason why people like you and I watch these award ceremonies in the first place. Every one of these celebrities is a WOMM master and every one of them is a brand unto him or herself. Let's consider 19-year-old Justin Bieber: musician, singer, performer, actor, author, creator of perfumes, originator of sought-after hairstyles that probably wouldn't be sought after if it weren't for his marketing savvy. ...Read More

Before the great communication disruption of the past few years, brands and agencies did not necessarily have to adhere to this premise and could easily engage in unethical behavior and/or communication and have it go unnoticed. No longer. The landscape today is too transparent and the cost too high for ethics to fall by the wayside. This is true not only in regards to the ethics of conducting business, but perhaps more relevant, ethics in the authenticity of how brands are positioned to consumers. ...Read More

Word of mouth marketing is even more powerful when friends or family members share stories because our positive emotional connection makes us more apt to believe them. We're programmed to want to believe them. If our stories tie into emotions, we are tapping into biologically programmed belief behaviors. ...Read More
Kraft Dresses Down to Dress Up Its Social Media Performance
Kraft Dressing utilized their Facebook page to create buzz around the campaign and the brand. The brand posted updates strictly around the campaign with nearly all the pictures being of Zesty Guy and the fans, it would appear, went gaga over it. Kraft Dressing grew its fan base at the rate of 24% during the time period analyzed. By comparison, the Food & Beverage sector in North America grew its Facebook fan base by mere 2.8% in the same period. ...Read More |

I borrowed this topic from another poster. Hope you don't mind. : )
This has the potential to be a good topic. My own experience with AA was 20 open meetings that I was mandated to as the result of DUI. I have never been to a closed AA meeting in my life.
I have not had a drink of alcohol for over 2 ½ years now. I used to spend over US$1,000 each month on alcohol (this dollar amount would increase in connection with the NFL season). So now I am saving at least that much each month.
I am healthier now and don't have to deal with hangovers each morning. What a wonderful thing. I am eating better and getting more exercise as well. In addition, I am more productive at work, although I have always enjoyed what I do for a living.
So for me I am financially better off as well as in better physical health.
I too am more healthier. I go to the gym and I do yoga. I have more times with friends and just feel free. I don't feel I have to put a show on for people anymore, I can just be myself.
I drank from the time I woke till I went to bed. I smoked crack suicidally. AA/NA/CA made the obsession worse. I quit almost 9 years ago when I realized that God wasn't doing it for me because it was something I had to do for myself
I'm not always happy, joyous or free, but I'm happier, more joyful, and finally, without all the people who want to help, I'm free
I've read this guy's stuff before because the 20 meetings stood it.
I know many people who used AA as a "time out", maybe learned something in the process, and moved on with their lives without booze. I am glad for them.
I too am much happier physically and emotionally without booze in my life. I just never was around people that lived booze-free. I always lived in places where it was a big part of the business and social culture. AA exposed me to a different side of life, one that I enjoy. And they were happy to be booze free.
Today, my husband and I intermingle with some people that drink, most that don't. I don't feel weird if I go to a gig where my nephew's band is playing and they are all getting drunk. I surely don't even miss it. I have a homelife that i never expected to have because I (and everyone else i knew) were always out on the bars. It's a nice clean house with hummingbird swarms that I love, and I can take notice of things that never mattered to me before. We appreciate it.

Why, Avo? What is the difference between me posting to this thread and that Penny did, as well.
With all the Antis that claim I have left since I am not in the rooms daily and that I don't pratice the program as I should, I find your remark a bit suprising.
How about what do I have since I don't drink and I found a bunch of people that showed me a more productive way to live? I have a better relationship with life in general. My family relationships have been rebuilt. I have a husband that I adore, a homelife I never thought I would have. I'm much happier and I have a source of real support and strength.

Pennywise rooted Gunthar on by responding "Cherish it" to G., this after G. claimed that he was finally free.
Clara, you posted about how good your life has changed because of AA. That's ENTIRELY different than how life changes AFTER leaving and no longer participating in the basket case of a program.

Doesn't matter. According to you, people that hadn't left AA shouldn't have been posting at all to the thread. You are making acceptions for someone you approve of.
Depending on what suits them best, there are people that believe I don't practice the program at all and are not in AA because I am not a AA holy roller and because I do it as I choose. I have a male sponsor, I don't go to meetings every day, etc.

The thread was about life AFTER AA, thats what this forum is about. Why are you in here girl? you need to go to another forum and preach Bill W gospel. We dont need people like you here, hell we had enough of people like you in AA thats why we got outta there
Vicky, believe me, over the course of the 6 months I have been on the forum, there are many that think I am not in AA, don't do it as suggested. It changes on any given day.
I would also question that anyone spending time on AA bash boards, if you will, has really "left". As long as you are still sitting in it, you are in it. I would imagine that most on these boards spent more time on OPF complaining about AA than they ever spent in the rooms.
I may not have "left AA" completely but I certainly don't participate to the level I did at one time. MB was a lot different. I doubt I would have stayed in AA if I had gone to my first meeting here.
Remember Christopher Stevens when you vote.
I notice that I sometimes forget how I've changed and what I have accomplished. I can't say that it's a result of leaving AA, but it has happened since I left. I'm clean/sober, healther - lost about 40 pounds, happier, less shy, less anxiety. Oh bundles of little things, like not worrying that I have to rush to a meeting, which is uncomfortable for me. That's less stress :) and just a personal little thing that helps my life be more comfortable.
I also don't feel like I have to "work" on myself as if I'm a defect constantly. It's a feeling like no other, that I'm so different than "normal" people, bad, that I need a spanking or something. That's big, because my self esteem has lifted and that was important. Good topic, looking forward to reading about other positive changes from others.

Since I have left AA I have:
Studied alternatives
Shifted from magical thinking to logic
Had evenings with my family
Been of service to people other than strangers
Abandon dangerous beliefs
Finished education
Focused on my own business
Stopped being manipulated
Focused on my wife instead of strange women
Increased my personal security
Kept my business to myself
Respected others more
Improved my diet
There's plenty, but to mention any of it, as Clara has above, would just invite accusations and indictments about my being immersed in the "cult of death". Even though I left AA and did not return over 20 years ago, I have come to understand that my viewpoint is prejudged before it ever hits the keyboard. So rave on about your incredible wellness. Life goes on and it will inevitably put a crimp in your euphoria.

That's true, you have left AA. I understand being concerned about your view getting prejudice and prefer not to comment about how your life has changed because of it. So instead, you try and ruin it for everyone else that feels good bout leaving? I feel mocked by your comment "So rave on about your incredible wellness". Well why not? Many of us are free from an illness. You have in the past been consistent about voicing your opinion how nothing productive happens in this forum, and now that there is a thread that without question started as positive, you are trying to turn it negative.

Why do you think I need to learn the difference? The truth is that your post was negative. The topic was about good things, accomplishments....Yes, there were several comments other than yours. Especially since your first one though, I haven't caught up with the rest yet. Point being?
You don't care about what illness I am free of when you asked "Are you free from disease of addiction?". You won't be happy for me, or have a similar experience to share, nor a comment that relates to the illness it was. You're picking a fight, like I might get jumbled about a possible error, like calling addiction a disease.
It's topic related and someone might be interested. I said, "Many of us are free from an illness". I don't think that addiction is a disease, but I do think it is an illness of sorts. I don't put a lot of thought into what kind, heck – maybe it's in a class of it's self. Unlike diseases however, this illness is one that we can overcome. Bundles of ways, including just not using anymore. It can be a blog of it's own perhaps. There are other illnesses that I could have had, or that others had and have overcome along the way. Like severe depression, technically a mental illness from what I understand.

Not to suggest that it is an AAism, however the eventual "crimp in your euphoria" statement reminds me of the "after the honeymoon" caution in AA. Like, if your feeling good now, for a month or two in the early stages of recovery, watch out because it goes away. Why does it have to?
Like with the glass half full comment, does it have to be that way for everyone or anything? Bumps in the road, the need for an umbrella....13 years of marriage (never had a honeymoon actually) and the only time a voice was raised between us was when we were discussing my need of drug treatment. I hardly think of that as a bump in the road. Marriage has gone on and has gotten better with time.
Lacking of euphoria, a rain storm coming...yes, that's life. But it doesn't take the accomplishments and freedom away those of us have found away. I think it just means that life will always bring some form of difficulty. Having past success with overcoming obstacles will hopefully bring courage and strength to deal with future ones.

I discovered I was never sick in the first place! At least not with anything that can keep me down, certainly not with what they thought was wrong with me (aside from the aforementioned injuries, which thankfully healed). Then I started building on that to do more and more and MORE AND MORE!! Every single day! (Sorry, just a bit jazzed today, life is good!)
OK, I do need to add to that. One thing I learned is that I'm not powerless, not at all! I don't mean that in a "take that, AA!" sort of way, either. I'm being quite sincere. I found that when I feel powerless I feel overwhelmed as well, and I freeze up. I found that that was how I always had reacted in the past, but was no longer the way I act (or react) now. When I feel the least bit frustrated or bored these days, I get up and go do something about it. I build on things that I do, learning experiences, training and education as well as work I get done, and the result (quite naturally) is to feel empowered and have a sense of accomplishment. Goal oriented thinking, not instant gratification. That shift happened naturally though, it wasn't a part of any program or decision I made other than to just refuse to ever wallow in it.
The other thing I did? I stopped going to the damned doctors!
live_free_or_die apparently reposts comments from another poster: "So for me I am financially better off as well as in better physical health." Ditto, but doing both open and closed.
No longer paralyzed by introspection and self analysis.
Cognitive dissonance associated with trying to believe what I couldn't believe has disappeared.
Have regained personal integrity by no longer having to be silent when bombarded by faith based talk. Even better - don't have to listen through it anymore.
Got into MBSR to transition out of aa - love it!
My family no longer gag on thought of slow cooked food 3 nights a week. (I've forever ruined osso bucco and lamb shanks for them.)
No longer creating stress for myself or my family by rushing them so I can get to a meeting.
Trust myself to know what's best for me.
I am now financially secure. I also make better business decisions.
I do not ever worry about 'falling off the wagon' In fact I rarely think about drinking.
My family and I have a great relationship.
Yes, I am free.
I not only would not be free had I pursued the path of the AA faith, but in my gut I think I would be dead now.
I'm very happy to hear you got your financial situation on the upswing. AA really wanted me to let go as they say of my goals of my ambitions , it seems any success I had achieved in the past was supposed to be forgotten and by me working at mcdonalds I would achieve balance in my life. Of course they wanted me to loose all my good friendships and hang out with only AA people. My life hasn't yet turned around but having hope and goals and ambition returns the joy to my life.
I don't know if they are worshippers, but no one said that in order comment on the thread, you have to have left AA an angry, upset person. Plenty of people get what they need to achieve sobriety and then they mosey on. We have people that have "left AA" but that still hit the occasional meeting for whatever reason.

These days, if you want to wear your politics on your sleeve, you get a campaign t-shirt. But in 1952, LIFE photographer Nina Leen captured models who were supporting Republican presidential candidate Dwight D. Eisenhower in much grander fashions. Wearing pins, gloves, stockings and clothing that declared "I Like Ike"—a popular slogan from the campaign—these photographs prove that political statements can be fashionable, too.

EDMONTON - Providing health care to inmates will cost the Alberta government an extra $16 million this year, a nearly 60-per-cent increase largely tied to the opening of a bigger Edmonton Remand Centre.
More health workers, new medical equipment and enhanced rehabilitation treatment will be part of the giant new facility when it opens in mid-April in the city's northwest.
One advocacy group believes such improvements are overdue for inmates, even though it means a rise in the health budget for correctional facilities from $26.9 million to $42.6 million.
"This has been a long time coming because the medical facilities at the current remand centre are wholly inadequate," says D'Arcy DePoe, president of the Criminal Trial Lawyers' Association.
"They have a minimal number of bed spaces, they don't have proper staff, and a common complaint is that inmates do not receive proper medical care.
"We're hoping this new facility is going to change that. It can only be an improvement."
While the current downtown remand building typically houses about 750 people at any one time, the new $580-million centre has space for 1,952, although it will not be filled up immediately.
More inmates means more health needs, which is why the structure includes a separate "health care pod" operated by Alberta Health Services that will require 162 full-time workers, up from 50 at the old building.
That number will eventually reach 190 employees when the centre hits capacity.
AHS said the new remand will have the staff, equipment and space to provide a more multidisciplinary approach to treating inmates, including a greater focus on mental illness and addictions.
The roster will feature registered and practical nurses, unit clerks, service aides, psychologists, addiction councillors, social workers, physicians and psychiatrists.
Basic health services will be provided inside the prisoner units, with more specialized care available in the infirmary, a health clinic and the mental health unit.
Compared with the current remand, the number of mental health beds for male inmates has nearly doubled to 68, including eight considered high security. For women, there are 60 mental health beds, about five times as many as the old facility.
"Many of the people they deal with in custody are mentally ill and require separation and medical supervision, and the proper administration of medications and so on," DePoe says.
"That has been something very poorly dealt with in the past and we're hoping this is something that changes, at least at this one new facility. On the other hand, keeping mentally ill people in prison is not a very acceptable idea."
AHS wants to put renewed emphasis on rehabilitation to help reduce the risk of repeated incarceration. Having a large selection of services on-site will also help minimize the need to transport inmates to hospital, the authority says.
The list of new equipment in the centre includes vital sign monitors, imaging units, X-ray machines, IV infusion pumps and wheelchairs.
The responsibility for delivering health services to inmates was transferred from Alberta Justice to AHS in 2010.

Versatile Jeans
I love the way that I can dress up or dress down with this pair of jeans. Fabric is very thin and soft. I have it in nude colour - my advice is if you have muscular thigh and calves like I do, this is probably not the most flattering style and colour. However by saying so, I love the jeans for its comfyness.

So Comfortable!
I love skinny jeans but have yet to find a pair that are actually comfortable! These jeans not only come in on-trend colors, but they are so comfortable! They are true to size and the length is great. I'm 5'4" and have a hard time finding jeans with inseams that aren't too long. I can cuff these once, and they sit perfectly at my ankles. I've always loved AG jeans, and the super skinny ankle leggings have just given me one more reason to remain a fan.

i ordered this jean in size 27. as the size chart said 27 is an 8aus. and of course 8 is my aussie size thats why i ordered. the jean is loose when i put them on but sits ok on me until today i wore them for a half of a day and its stretched from the bum, the waist and everywhere else... huhhh.. so upset and sooo disappointed. :(

A Fantastic Colour
I initially bought these in the Sulphur Sea Blue colour which are more grey and loved them so much bought them in the Sulfur Nude. They are more a pinky blush colour which are such a versatile and flattering colour. I found due to the amazing fabric composition that I could have gone down a size but it had sold out and so went usual size which I didn't mind in this colour as don't want to skin tight. They are incredibly comfortable and the fabric is just beautiful. I am 5"4 and size 26-27. I bought the size 27 and the length is perfect. I don't need to take them up and I can roll them up if want a more summery look. Love these jeans and would have bought them in the Sulphur Crystal if they had my size.

Fantastic jeans, great fit although I did have to go up a size, partly due to the pale colour, the jeans did n't look good really tight. The larger size was much better. Love A.G. jeans and these are no exception. Would highly recommend.

Colour: A really nice baby blue and NOT pastel blue. It's darker than the current pastel blue trend in denim going on which was exactly what I wanted.
Size: I am 162cm and US4. The length hits my ankles (not ankle leggings for me) which is fine because I prefer them as full length on me anyway. When I first tried them on the waist was a bit tight but could definitely button up (this might be because of my relatively wide hips). But after like 30 minutes of just sitting down in these, they stretched to fit me around the waist. Leg area was still skinny!
Feel: OMG the material is so soft. Like thin material but it felt like the fibres were of good quality so they were thick at the same time if that makes any sense. Doesn't feel like denim, feels soooo soft.
Definitely getting more because of the material and fit!

Not flattering
So I ordered my normal size and the fit was perfect. The material is also extremely soft which is nice. However, I could not get over the fact that any bit of cellulite shows through. I am 5'6" and weigh 120 lbs. I am an athlete and have a pretty toned build. If these jeans show my cellulite, I imagine they will show cellulite on anyone. My suggestion is to order a size bigger if you like them. The color also is not flattering, as it is so light that it has the effect of making you look bigger than you are.

Is a chef about to pace the Indianapolis 500?
It appears that way, as Chevrolet is keen to select the Food Network's Guy Fieri--who drives a Chevrolet Camaro to restaurants he profiles on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, a popular TV show.
Fieri is a hip 44-year-old native of Columbus, Ohio, who has a huge fan base, and that's the audience that Chevrolet and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway are trying to reach.
Recent driver choices have been celebrities, including Robin Roberts of ABC and Donald Trump of NBC before he withdrew amid scheduling issues (and complaints from fans).
Officials from the two companies are not confirming Fieri as their choice. That announcement is expected to come next week, after Chevrolet reveals whether a Camaro or a Corvette will be the official pace car.
Fear not this about Fieri: He won't be driving the pace car after the green flag. That duty is in the hands of three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Johnny Rutherford.

I wish there was a way to dye my hair pink and then go back to my natural color whenever I wanted :) It looks so cute!

A hybrid is probably better for public games, but with east's rules a trapper is close to if not the #1 gm pvp build. They can go c/c vs casters or smiters or use BoS hoto and stormshield for high DR and relatively easy max block vs bowas and barbs and such. They're excellent in team vs team. They also offer a high skill cap; you won't master one easily and you can keep getting better and better with them. That said, a hybrid isn't going to be much (if any) better at killing bm sorbing dins because ghosts, trappers, and hybrids all apply damage at a relatively slow pace vs a sorbing max block character. Traps take time to kill, venom+ow+small physical damage take time to kill. The din towns, wells, pots, whatever.
Bowa: You're also playing on ladder and I have never met a good (pure) bowa on ladder... not that I play on EU, but I imagine the ladder environment there is probably similar in how it marginalizes some particular builds. Plus public games aren't their strong suit.
