Publisher's Description
In One Thousand Gifts, Ann invites you to embrace everyday blessings and embark on the transformative spiritual discipline of chronicling God's gifts. It's only in this expressing of gratitude for the life we already have, we discover the life we've always wanted...a life we can take, give thanks for, and break for others. We come to feel and know the impossible right down in our bones: we are wildly loved - by God.
Let Ann's beautiful, heart-aching stories of the everyday give you a way of seeing that opens your eyes to ordinary amazing grace, a way of being present to God that makes you deeply happy, and a way of living that is finally fully alive.
Come live the best dare of all!
The book begins with Voskamp's birth. She describes it abstractly with a poetic flourish, which to an inattentive reader works more as a maze than a picture. As the book continues, Voskamp writes of her discovery of eucharisteo meaning gratefulness and of her journey through chronicling a thousand gifts from God.
The journey is where the book speeds up. As Voskamp shares some of the gifts and the events surrounding how she attained them, the reader indwells the pages, sees the scenes described, and understands the lessons shared. As Voskamp compares God allowing pain in life to a surgeon cutting her son open in order to heal him, a now attentive reader sees as Voskamp sees, that "all is grace."
One Thousand Gifts is contemplative nonfiction with storytelling appeal. Voskamp's writing is flowery and poetic, so, if read quickly, its hard to understand. Sentence structure is shaky, with an overabundance of fragments and run-ons. The message is meaningful and worthwhile for believers having difficulty being joyful, but if readers will not slow down and pay close attention, the message will remain over their heads.
One Thousand Gifts is a worthwhile book to readers wishing to delve deeper into the practice of giving thanks to the Lord. For those who focus carefully on each word printed, its lessons will prove beneficial and, likely, by the time the last page is turned, the readers will be chronicling their own thousand gifts.

This is an example of how I might be too hard on myself. If I shot this series, I would have been bored with it, especially the tooth-brushing photos.
But despite this, these are being sold. I appreciate my own high standards regarding my work, but why can I look at something and enjoy it while knowing at the same time that I would have dismissed the shots if I had taken them, myself? Is there some small thing that's missing from my own work that I don't see yet, something that makes me dislike my photos while others can pull off similar shots?
Side note: I love the photo in which Erik is pulling on his pants
Another side note: You can purchase the fanzine in either print or digital format.

< Return To Hearing
Mr. John J. Park, Jr.June 21, 2006
Mr. Chairman, members of this Committee, thank you for the opportunity to In submitting my testimony, I do not wish to minimize the scope of past discrimination in Alabama or question the decisions of Congress to pass the Voting Rights Act in 1965 and renew it in 1982. Likewise, I do not overlook the contributions of brave men and women who fought to secure the civil rights and voting rights of the African-American citizens of Alabama and other covered jurisdictions. Without their efforts, it might not be possible to suggest that there is no need to renew Section 5 or that the coverage of Section 5 should be pared back. Their efforts helped to change the covered jurisdictions, however, and Congress should reward those covered jurisdictions that have changed by displaying a measure of confidence in them. A list of representative court decisions is attached. 2 account the degree to which Alabama and other covered jurisdictions have changed since 1965. In the most recent presidential elections, black voters voted at a slightly higher rate than white voters. Turnout among black voters was 63.9%, compared to 63.1% among white voters. These rates are far above the rate of participation in 1964. Systematic barriers to the participation of minority voters have been removed, and there is no substantial likelihood that they will return. Moreover, the Alabama Legislature now includes a caucus of minority members in each house that is not strong enough by itself to pass legislation but is, likely, strong enough to block legislation that it views as detrimental to its interests. Alabama and the other covered jurisdictions should be rewarded, not punished, for their progress. In suggesting that Congress relax the scope of Section 5's coverage, I do not suggest that Congress change the prohibition on the use of tests and devices to determine eligibility to vote. Congress included the prohibition on the use of tests and devices in the Voting Rights Act because it concluded that covered jurisdictions were using them to exclude minority voters, and it included Section 5 to preclude covered jurisdictions from implementing new discriminatory laws after previous discriminatory laws were declared unconstitutional. Maintaining the prohibition on the use of tests and devices provides substantial protection to minority voters without regard to whether Section 5 is renewed, tightened, or relaxed. Indeed, registration and participation rates show that there are no systematic barriers to minority participation. Furthermore, the constitutional rule of one-person-one-vote in redistricting, even A. The Burden on the Office The State of Alabama almost always obtains preclearance of changes in its With local laws that affect one of Alabama's 67 counties, we try to send the work related Wilkinson, Harry Byrd and the Changing Face of Virginia Politics, 1945-1966 (1968). to the preclearance submission to a local attorney; sometimes the local attorney can and will do the work. If not, an Assistant Attorney General will prepare the submission. In the 2006 Regular Session, the Legislature passed laws that put some 25 Since I have been in the Office of the Attorney General, the preparation of For my part, I have prepared or participated in the preparation of a number of My work with local counsel has shown me that experience with voting rights B. Proposed Changes 1. Remove Coverage for De Minimis Changes. The applicable regulations provide a number of examples of changes that must be precleared, including "[a]ny change . . . . in the location of polling places." 28 C.F.R. § 51.13(d). The counties and municipalities of Alabama and other covered subdivisions secure polling places and, generally, do not seek to change them on a whim. In this election cycle, we have learned that one polling place had to be changed because the building that housed the earlier version collapsed. We also learned that, some two weeks before an election, local election officials were told that a hurricane in 2005 had destroyed a polling place. In each case, we had to ask USDOJ for permission to make a change and might have had to wait for up to 60 days for that permission to come, unless expedited treatment was requested and received. With respect to the setting of special elections, the applicable regulations provide A three-judge federal district court sitting in the Northern District of Alabama rejected the contention that the Legislature's selection of a date for a special election on a referendum had the potential for discrimination. Greene County Racing Commission v. City of Birmingham, 772 F. Supp. 1207 (N.D. Ala. 1991) (three-judge court).3 In particular, the court rejected the claim that setting the special election on a day near the day on which the public schools opened did not have the potential for discrimination. The court noted that "schools will be opening for white, blacks, and all other racial groups at the same time" and found "no evidence that the opening of schools will impact blacks to a greater or lesser degree than whites." 772 F. Supp. at 1217. Subsequently, I was involved in litigation involving another special election in the Birmingham area. The referendum involved a plan for the construction of a domed stadium and the related financing. On the eve of the election, a Section 5 claim was filed complaining that the date had not been precleared. We made a submission, but contended that it was unnecessary. Ultimately, preclearance was obtained on an expedited basis. In both cases, the Section 5 claim most likely disguised opposition to the substance of the referendum. The Greene County Racing Commission would have to compete with the proposed thoroughbred horse racing and pari-mutuel wagering facility in Birmingham. Similarly, the referendum on public improvements attracted substantial opposition and was defeated in the end. Section 5 gave the opponents of the substance of the provision a tool that allowed for the possibility of a delay in the voting. On appeal, the United States Supreme Court vacated the District court's judgment and remanded the case with instructions to dismiss as moot. See Harris v. City of Birmingham, 505 U.S. 1201, 112 S. Ct. 2986 (1992). The dismissal, based on United States v. Munsingwear, Inc., 340 U.S. 36, 71 S. Ct. 104 (1950), calls for vacatur. Even so, the decision of the three-judge federal district court has "persuasive value [because] it illustrate[s] the manner in which similar claims have been treated." See Greene County Racing Commission, 772 F. Supp. at 1216 fn. 14 (discussing similarly vacated prior decision in Hawthorne v. Hinley, 756 F. Supp. 527 (M.D. Ala. 1990)). In other instances, the State includes referenda on constitutional amendments on the ballot for primary or general elections. That inclusion must be precleared even though the State is already conducting an election at the time. It must be precleared even though the proposed amendment may not relate to voting. Finally, it must be precleared notwithstanding the fact that, whether the referendum is put on a special election ballot or the ballot for a regularly scheduled election, someone frequently thinks it should have been done differently. In Greene County Racing Commission, the three-judge federal district court saw no significance in the fact that the referendum was not set on the day when the Mayor of Birmingham and two city council members were up for election, noting "[t]he best that can be said for this claim is that any election having no candidates for public office is likely to produce a lower voter turnout than will an election at which candidates for public office are running." 772 F. Supp. at 1216. In other cases, opponents fear too large a turnout. Both concerns are, fundamentally, political and outside the purview of Section 5. The Department of Justice has advised the Committee that last year it made only one objection out of 4,734 submissions. Indeed, since 1965, the Attorney General has objected to only 1,401 submissions out of the 120,868 received by the Department of Justice. And, in the last ten years, there have been only 37 objections. The records of the Department of Justice also show that, in the past 15 years, none of the changes that Alabama made in polling places, the inclusion of referenda on ballots, and the setting of special elections produced an objection. In fact, nearly all of the objections received by the State or its subdivisions since 1986 relate to redistricting or annexation. Even so, we expend time and effort to submit changes in polling places and other de minimis changes for review. The Committee should ask the Department of Justice to provide greater detail regarding the kind of changes that are submitted. 2. Update the Baseline Date. Congress should update the date used as the baseline for the determination of coverage. In 28 C.F.R. § 51.4(b), the regulations state: Section 5 requires the preclearance of changes affecting voting made since the date used for the determination of coverage. For each covered jurisdiction that date is one of the following: November 1, 1964; November 1, 1968; or November 1, 1972. Id. In the case of Alabama, and most of the other Southern states, any change in voting standards, practices, or procedures from those that were in place on November 1, 1964 must be precleared before it can be implemented. The continued use of a baseline that is 42 years old presents a serious practical problem. None of the election officials who were serving in 1964 is still serving today, and those 1964 election officials are not available to tell us what procedures they used. With statutes and regulations, it is possible to identify those that were in place on November 1, 1964, and we do that. But, state election officials can tell us how they implement those statutes and regulations, filling in the gaps with practices that they do not reduce to writing. When we defend against a Section 5 claim, we need to be able to call on state election officials to explain what they do, but we must now trace that practice back to 1964. The case of Connors v. Bennett, 202 F. Supp. 2d 1308 (M.D. Ala. 2002) (threejudgecourt), illustrates the practical difficulties that the continued use of a baseline that was then 38 years old presents. The litigation in Connors started after the Republican Party, in response to a challenge, disqualified a candidate for its nomination for a seat in the State Legislature on the ground that he did not live in the district he sought to represent. The Party had already certified its list of candidates to the Secretary of State within the five days allowed under Alabama law, and the Secretary of State had already certified the list of primary candidates to the probate judges when the Party advised the Secretary of State of the disqualification. The Secretary of State then amended his certification advising the probate judges in the legislative district not to include the name of the disqualified candidate on the primary ballot. The disqualified candidate filed suit in state court, which ordered that his name appear on the ballot. In so doing, the state court gave no effect to § 17-16-12, Code of Alabama (1995), which provides: The name of no candidate shall be printed upon any official ballot unless such person is legally qualified to hold the office for which he is a candidate and unless he is eligible to vote in the primary election in which he seeks to be a candidate and possesses the political qualifications prescribed by the governing body of his political party. Id. In addition, the state court rejected the contention that granting relief would constitute a change because, before November 1, 1964, the Secretary of State had honored party request to remove candidates from the primary ballot even after the party had certified its candidates. In fact, the state court rejected a letter from the Justice Department's Voting Section, written in response to a letter that I wrote, in which the Voting Section stated that it believed the directive to place the name of the disqualified candidate on the ballot was a change. Evidence to support that practice came from the State's Archives, which included correspondence between the Secretary of State and the political parties. The changes had been made, but the party's changes did not appear to arise from a disqualification. On that narrow ground, which, in other words, is the State produced a spotted cow with the wrong spots, the court rejected the argument. The State could do no better than to consult the Archives in this case. If election officials with knowledge were available, their testimony might have been persuasive. As it was, while the State could have and did consult its present election officials, their experience could take the State back only to about 1990. Congress should change the baseline date to the present so that state election officials who know of the State's practices can defend them. Moreover, anything that was in place in 1964 and is still in place is immune from Section 5 challenge, and any change from what was in place that has been precleared is presumptively acceptable. Any other changes are those that have not been precleared or objected to and will likely not be challenged on Section 5 grounds. The likelihood that injury will result from updating the baseline is minimal. That likelihood of injury hardly outweighs the benefit of helping the State use its election officials to defend their practices. 3. Clarify the Criteria for Bailout. Section 4(a) of the Act establishes criteria and a procedure by which covered jurisdictions can graduate from the coverage of Section 5. In 1982, Congress amended Section 4(a) to provide that "any subdivision of a [covered] State (as such subdivision existed on the date such determination was made with respect to such State) though such determinations were not made with respect to such subdivision as a separate unit," can also file a bailout action. This language appears to modify the holding in City of Rome v. United States, 446 U.S. 156, 100 S. Ct. 1548 (1980), and may account for the fact that several counties in Virginia have successfully bailed out. As with the date for the coverage determination, Congress should update Section 4(a). To the extent that it applies to political subdivisions of a covered State "as such subdivision existed on the date such determinations were made with respect to such State," it is frozen at November 1, 1964 for Alabama and other covered Southern States. Some new municipalities have been created, and they should also be allowed to bail out if, after ten years, they can satisfy the criteria. In addition, political parties and other covered entities that are not political subdivisions of a covered State should also be authorized to pursue bailout. When the Alabama Republican Party asked about the possibility of filing a bailout action, it was told that it was not entitled to file. Denying the possibility of exit to a covered entity raises serious constitutional issues. The Alabama Republican Party has complied with its obligations under Section 5, and there is no record of any objection by USDOJ to its party rules. While there have been objections to the Democratic Party's state and local rules, the Party has submitted its rules and any changes for review under Section 5. In the 2004 election cycle, both political parties prevailed in Section 5 actions filed by disqualified candidates by showing that the party's rules had been precleared; the disqualification, which represented the application of previously precleared standards, practices, and procedures, was not a Section 5 problem. More significantly, neither of the State's political parties has any interest in discriminating on the basis of race. Both want as many votes as they can get and are not picky about where they come from. The African-American community may vote solidly Democratic, but that is the community's choice; the African-American community is not locked in to that choice. In short, the political parties of covered jurisdictions appear to be good candidates for bailout. They should be empowered to file. Any Extension Should be for less than 25 years. The State of Alabama and its subdivisions have diligently attempted to comply with their obligations under Section 5, and the local courts have noted that the State has proceeded in good faith. See Connors v. Bennett, 202 F. Supp. 2d at 1322 (Thompson, J., concurring); Ward v. Alabama, 31 F. Supp. 2d 968, 974 (M.D. Ala. 1998) (three-judge court). In addition, there is no substantial difference between the participation rates of majority and minority voters. In short, Alabama sees little need for 25 more years of coverage. |

Why isn't the answer simply "Yeah, i AM happy!" (the N is out of my life)?
I think my answer was, "As a matter of fact, I am glad you're gone." A fact - not a lie or a manipulation. Truth. As opposed to everthing that comes out of his mouth which is BS, blameshifting, lies, manipulations, or said to hurt or control me.
Like you, jj, I think that I really had a need to "fix" him. To mother him, to help him. I contantly had to overcompensate for him. Took on more and more. Expected less and less. I can see now how much I worked to protect the kids. Diffusing situations. Insisting that he apologize to them. Apologizing for him. Making excuses for him.
Like, HB, I thought if I just went on doing the best I could, giving him a break, giving him some room, we would be alright. Pretty soon, I was doing everything, he was doing nothing, I became a horrible person in his mind, and he began pursuing my replacement.
Is this caretaking personality something that we all have in common? I accepted him with his faults and his horrible childhood. I never expected perfection. I gave him my own family. I gave him everything.
I guess it just goes to show that nothing we can do or give or say can fill the empty hole that is inside of these people. That is really it, isn't it?
Everybody, soon or late, sits down to a banquet of consequences. ~Robert Louis Stevenson
downfall's first posts really opened my eyes about who we are (special, actually) - & I think we are so "all that", that we sense & feel compassion for those who - let's face it, shall we? really do NOT love themselves.
it's grindingly painful, the process of realizing that your "all that" is being eaten, used, discarded, and shat.
look, we're still ok - we really are, chew marks, shitsmell & all!
we need a shower, s'all -
I agree. It's not an easy question to answer. The short answer is, "Because I was committed to our marriage and I believed him when he said he was sorry and was going to get help."
The long answer is because we were being abused. This type of abuse does not happen instantly. It's not like we went out on our first date and he through a drink in our face, called us a disgusting f'ing bitch, then push us out of the car as he slowed down in front of our house. We would never have given "that guy" the time of day, let alone a second date. But with the NPD, they start off TOTALLY charming. The abuse starts slow and in spurts. We justify it as, "he's having a bad day, everyone is entitled to a bad day, right?" Then it starts to happen more and more often and it's more and more severe. We still justify and question our own judgement, "Is it really this bad? Am I overacting? Maybe I am the one to blame, maybe I did bring this on. Maybe I am the one who needs help."
If you have children, it's even more complicated.
Plus, don't forget that every word that is coming out of the NPD's mouth is a LIE and you are no position to make any decisions because he has robbed you of your ability of doing so because the information you have is ALL LIES.
Why did I put up with it for so long?
We all have our own reasons for staying so long. I thought I had stayed "so long" too. Now looking back, it was only 5 years. Only five short years out of my life. At the time, it felt like a lifetime, but now not so much.
Why couldn't I see how bad it was?
Because he was lying and clouding your thinking, your judgement, and all of your thoughts. You couldn't see any of this until you were hit by the bomb.
Why didn't I realize that he was abusing me and my kids?
Good people don't want to accept that they have made a horrible mistake in judgement in who they chose to marry and who they chose as a father for their children. It's a tough pill to swallow.
Why couldn't I see this until the "bomb" was dropped on me? Why can I see it so clearly now in retrospect?
Because you have distance now and he is not poisoning your thinking.
Why did I allow him to obliterate "me"? Why didn't I see it and leave?
I'm sure you didn't realize at the time that he was obliterating you. You probably thought like most of us that you were trying to save your marriage and your family. Maybe there was the fear of abuse.
The other question about being happy or not that they are gone is also tough.
We don't miss the monster who has done all of this damage, but we do miss the charming man who we fell in love with and married. Once you realize that the Monster is the REAL person and the charmer was only a mask, you will begin to heal. You have to let the charmer go and realize that he never existed.

When another woman takes your husband, sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is to LET HER HAVE the worthless bum. OC born 2001 (I didn't know) Divorced 2003 Remarried 2008 (Happy!)
Why did I put up with it for so long? Why couldn't I see how bad it was? Why didn't I realize that he was abusing me and my kids? Why couldn't I see this until the "bomb" was dropped on me? Why can I see it so clearly now in retrospect? Why did I allow him to obliterate "me"? Why didn't I see it and leave?
In IC, I discovered that I stay because I have a "negative need" to "fix" things. (Negative because it's a need I have to my own detriment.) Probably because of behaviour I developed as a child, I have a need to "make things right".
I think I tried to make my STBXH right. I tried to make up for the damage he suffered as a child, the loss of his younger brother, the damaged relationships he had with family. Sadly, I would have given anything to have his praise. From there, I thought that praise = love.
Now I'm only beginning to understand what a healthy, mutually beneficial, kind, loving, caring, relationship might look/feel like. It's not even close to what my marriage was like.
But to answer the question, "why did I stay?" - I think my STBXH nicely met my negative need. He needed fixing. I'm hoping now that I've identified and worked on my negative need, it will disappear! So that I won't be drawn to someone who needs fixing again.
Anyway, hope you all are well.
Isn't that a great question. Because I loved him more than myself and my children. Because I started believing him that he was the only man who would ever "put up with" me. Because I was a sahm and needed him financially. Because I was addicted to him. Because I had put so much effort into "fixing" him, that I kept thinking it would get better.
Because i was addicted to him. And I did KNOW it was bad, hell, I told him all the time there was something wrong with him. I told him repeatedly how I had never met anyone who saw the world the way that he did and that it was f*cked up. I knew it was bad, just not how bad it was.
That's a great question. I knew. I chose to ignore it. He had me truly convinced that I would be alone forever without him.
Why couldn't I see this until the "bomb" was dropped on me?
Even having the bomb of the affairs and the OWs pregnancies wasnt enough for me to see it. Even when I told him I was pregnant and he told me I had to have an abortion or he was divorcing me, I saw it...but not clearly.
It took a week after his demanding of me to abort for me to see it. I refused to have the abortion. Five days later he packed up every last thing and sat on the couch and told me I had to abort or he was leaving. I wouldn't budge, I refused to have the abortion. He left. I went nuts. I told him I was going to kill myself and told him I couldn't live without him (as he had told me for years), he said, "go ahead, you don't have the guts."
I took more pills that anyone person should ever ingest. I ended up in the hospital and in the psych ward. Day two after he left and I took the pills, he told me that he was too busy to come see me in the hospital. Why? His response was that he was too busy dealing with my sh*t. When I asked what he was dealing with, his response was (and I swear to God),"Your friends keep calling me to ask if you are Ok, and its' driving me crazy, I don't have time to get anything done because they keep bothering me."
I think I understood then. Two months later, I still hurt over some of those cruel comments.
Why can I see it so clearly now in retrospect?
Because he's gone. Because, I am regaining my strength and I don't have him telling me everyday that I am stupid and pathetic.
Why did I allow him to obliterate "me"?
This is the million dollar question. And because I don't know the answer, I can not date anyone until I can be sure I don't fall into the same relationship dynamic.
Why didn't I see it and leave?
Because I was scared to be by myself. Because I didn't want to be twice divorced with a gaggle of kids. Because I didn't want to be poor. Because I didn't want to be alone. Because he told me I never would. sigh.

Why couldn't I see how bad it was? It was bad but I knew raising the kis alone was bad as well. I lived for 2 1/2 months alone with them and it was just as difficult as living with him in the house and having the financial support. In my case I need the time for the kids to mature and when I did leave it was finally slightly easier than what I had been living with to cope.
Why didn't I realize that he was abusing me and my kids? I knew. I chose to ignore it. I grew up with a father who was a very harsh man and some of the stuff that happened didn't seem much worse than what I lived with growing up. I didn't feel like I had an alternative. I had tried to get out before and didn't get the help and support I needed to stay gone. Why couldn't I see this until the "bomb" was dropped on me? The bomb sent it all over the edge. I have often wondered how long I might have stayed if he had not cheated. I shutter to think of what my life would be like today had he stayed.
Why can I see it so clearly now in retrospect? I know initially I was in too much shock to see how abused I was and for me to find myself hidden under all the pain and wreckage of my life.
Why did I allow him to obliterate "me"? I think I let him because I fel like I needed him. It was as if the ony way to be married to him was to give up myself. It was certainly the only way to keep peace. At one point not long ago my ex came here and I showed him my degree and he turned to me and said " see you didn't need me after all". I turned to him and said "I never needed you, I just had to find the strength to stand up and prove it to myself" (the look on his face was priceless) I was always there I was just to afraid to stand up for myself for fear of what it would mean to me and my marriage. I am just sad that my kids had to be harmed for me to finally grow my backbone and get out.
Why didn't I see it and leave? I did see it and tried to leave 3 times before he was forced to leave because of the adultry and abuse. It took me time to find the courage to leave for good.
The essence of love is not what we think or do or provide for others, but how much we give of ourselves.
A clean house is the sign of a broken computer.
Because of everything that's happened I've had to really struggle with self esteem issues at least twice since I found out about everything.
I think the self esteem thing ties in with all these questions we've been discussing.
I think my self esteem was changed by all the years we were together. In some ways I feel like I've recovered some of that ground back but not all of it.
I know I'm a good person and I'm fairly smart and have a sense of right and wrong. I have a somewhat warped sense of humor.
Here's where I'm having trouble. I would like someday to have a relationship w/ a normal guy. I know I don't need a man to fulfill or complete me etc. (That was another issue I had to work through several yrs ago)
But I feel like now that I'm older, heavier, not very good looking,and have kids,(well, one kid now)and have so much grief over Niki that no man would be interested in me for myself for a relationship. I feel like the only guys I'll ever be able to be interested in me are ones that are users.
How do I deal with this?
Mods, if this is the wrong place for this, just delete it. It's just where I'm at now.
Wow, I think we all need the biggest of hugs tonight. All of your responses to my questions have been so heartfelt and revealing. Many of you express the same things that I would. Our wounds are all so similar.
lostsahm-- This. Wow.
I wouldn't budge, I refused to have the abortion. He left. I went nuts. I told him I was going to kill myself and told him I couldn't live without him (as he had told me for years), he said, "go ahead, you don't have the guts." I took more pills that anyone person should ever ingest. I ended up in the hospital and in the psych ward. Day two after he left and I took the pills, he told me that he was too busy to come see me in the hospital. Why? His response was that he was too busy dealing with my sh*t. When I asked what he was dealing with, his response was (and I swear to God),"Your friends keep calling me to ask if you are Ok, and its' driving me crazy, I don't have time to get anything done because they keep bothering me."
Holy crap is all that I can say to this. Seriously what a piece of work he is!! I hope that Karma bus comes round for him real soon.
Like you, I hope that I can recover enough of my true identity that I will be whole enough to enter into a normal relationship again. For now, the prospect is terrifying. STBXH and I started dating when I was 16. Terrifying. Truly.
HB, you have had so much loss and grief recently. I think you are doing the right thing by concentrating on making yourself whole again. Healing all of your wounds as best you can. Don't sell yourself short. You are a good person and a strong woman.
Let's keep our heads up so we don't miss our prince when he comes riding in to our lives.
Once you realize that the Monster is the REAL person and the charmer was only a mask, you will begin to heal.
Sobering, accurate advice.
People: Read up on the 180! Oh, and I'm boycotting Nike forever ;)
I'm not necessarily looking for a prince, I just want a decent guy. Or is that an oxymoron?
There is a ton of stuff on the internet about this...just google it
And for all of us, I think it's useful to go back and read the first few pages of the NPD Thread...here's the link...
The first two posts on this thread were so helpful to me in dealing with this stuff when it was brand new to me...
Tulsa Area Coffee Buddy
jjct, cute "gurl"!!!
Sad and Lied - you always make me feel so much better. I was getting worried about my intolerence to certain situations but you make me feel like it is ok to feel the way I do. Your advice is always so important to me.
One thing is certain, we are all on the road to recovery. As Bob said it is the journey that is important, not the destination. Actually, I think it was Budha but Bob passed on the words of wisdom.
JJ, it looks like your gurl is saying "Dadddyyy, I'm nekkidddd!".
It's like the slow erosion of the mountain in being w/my NPD. I'm noticing a pattern today. If I don't answer his TM's back right away, he sends another one asking if I got his message.
If I don't feel like it, I don't. Why should I? Ees not my jawb enymore. It's not a priority to me anymore. The fact that it makes him a little insecure is just a small bonus to me. I doubt it hurts him as much as it hurt me over the last couple of yrs to be ignored. For me, it's empowering.
I put up with this hideous relationship because I could not stand the thought of failure
just add "again", you got me. See, that's what's kept me hangin on, that damn damn 'again'. at least my first wife had the decency to file for D when she was cheating.
how fuking sad is that? lol!
instead, it takes a 50 buck motel6 room to shake me from some 13 month-long struggle. 13 months for one of the dull knives in the drawer to finally get it.
good news. i'm meeting with L for lunch tomorrow. always feel better after talking w/him - he, i - think he's putting up w/ an N too! (no, not that everything's gotta be a nail! you kwim!)
& ron It's unimaginaeable that [[[the bullshit]]]] was not obviously abusive to me.
for me, i think i will be forever humbled - & in some folks' lexicon it's 'stronger & wiser' -
for just fukin missing that too.

If you hoped to hunt Wyoming elk this year, you already missed the boat with an application deadline that quietly slipped away in the night on Jan. 31.
Don't miss another boat—unless it's a cruise ship under questionable command. If you have your heart set on a big hunt this fall, you'd better be doing your research now because many of today's most sought-after licenses are divvied out in limited numbers. Even my home state of Wyoming, home to the greatest pronghorn population in North America, doesn't guarantee me a tag of my choice. I have to apply.
So this blog is simply a sticky note for you to post on your computer or desk to remind you to apply for limited licenses in your favorite state. One of these years I'm hoping to draw an Arizona elk tag, a Montana bighorn sheep tag and a Colorado mule deer tag. Of course, that is a short list. I'm applying in as many states as I can for premium tags and, as my points begin to accumulate, hopefully I'll be able to cash-in for some great hunts.
Do you remember the big blow-up a few years back about nonresident licenses and the allotment restrictions, especially from those hoping to hunt federal lands we all own? Luckily, that hubbub has died down, but it is a reminder to all of us that patience is a virtue, but a fair allotment and price is also a helpful element. I never blame residents for protecting what's in their borders and having increased access to the hunting opportunities there, but I also remind everyone that, even if you don't hunt other states currently, being fair with license allotments may some day affect future members of your family.
You may not want care about hunting other states, but your kids, grandkids or their grandkids may enjoy the adventure of hunting new lands. Plus, the economic benefit of the traveling hunter is difficult to ignore in small, rural outposts across the country; it's what keeps many favorite C-stores, motels and restaurants alive when the rest of the year is a visitor drought. I jealously guard what's in my backyard, but I also know that sharing opens up other hunting opportunities, so I keep applying.
Finally, if you can't keep up with all the applications for your favorite hunts, employ a service. I use Cabela's Trophy Application and Guide Service (TAGS). Hear my spiel about it in the video below:

Lyrics are on our brain, lyrics that bluesman Ray Schinnery sang at the Pine Grill Reunion, Sunday night in Martin Luther King Park. That is a taste of his artistry above! But really, if you were not there last night, you should have been. Take it, Ray!
"Party on Saturday, church on Sunday, then your fun is over, back to work on Monday. I'm here to tell the whole world/Ain't that the blues!"
Ha, ha!
Ain't that the truth!
Other words we liked:
"People, I believe that my woman is putting stuff in my food. ... I do believe this evening that my woman is putting stuff in my food.""I refuse to have a boss to keep from hounding me."
"Woman, don't you roll your damn eyes at me."
And a blues for the henpecked husband:
"I can't even talk in my own home" (Guitar wails) ... "you got me so scared! I can't cough or sneeze. I'm so scared I can't cough or sneeze! My friends want to know, are you a man or a mouse?" (Repeated several times, as guitar wails grow in intensity.) "All I can see is shut the heck up, and pass me the damn cheese!"
We heard a gentleman on a lawn chair behind us say, "I like that."

He's on food stamps and his state issued Horizon card was just replenished with his $200 monthly allowance.
But he's now worried after House Republicans in Congress voted last week against funding the program.
"I think they're doing it very wrong because lots of low income people that need it," he says. "It will affect me greatly."
One in ten Utahans rely on food stamps but last week in a partisan vote, House Republicans voted lock step to eliminate funding for food stamps and other nutritional programs.
Represenatives Jason Chaffetz and Chris Stewart voted along party lines. Rep. Rob Bishop didn't vote on the food stamp issue. But Rep. Bishop did vote for the farm bill where the food stamp funding was deleted.
Democrat Jim Matheson voted against the farm bill because food stamps were excluded.
"I don't understand why Republicans are so anxious to gut this program," says Gina Cornia, executive director of Utahns Against Hunger. "The Congressional Budget Office projects the SNAP program will only represent 1.7% of federal spending in the next ten years."
Currently House Republicans have no plan to resurrect the food stamp program. But the U.S. Senate has passed their own farm bill that includes funding for food stamps and other programs. President Obama has also issued a warning to House Republicans that the bill is dead on arrival if it reaches his desk.
Sanchez who is on disability says finding a job has been difficult.
"I've applied at a lot of jobs but no one ever returns my calls," he says.
For now, he hopes Congress will see fit to do the right thing. Otherwise he'll be hitting the streets.
"For a while when I wasn't getting them (food stamps) I was panhandling just to get something to eat," Sanchez says. "I may have to do that again."

Janus Quirinus, which our ancestors ordered to be closed whenever there was peace, secured by victory, throughout the whole domain of the Roman people on land and sea, and which, before my birth is recorded to have been closed but twice in all since the foundation of the city, the senate ordered to be closed thrice while I was princeps.
Augustus Res Gestae 13
The main theme of this site is Roman history, although I may include other areas of Classics too. This is a site in the process of being put together. The only complete section is "Essays". Hey, Rome was not built in a day. If it was, I would have asked the designer(s) for help.
These essays are my college papers, some of my articles I wrote for Suite 101.com, some of my forum posts, and my friends' articles.
Students who come to this site to get free essays, there is a difference between taking a look at one perspective of your topic and plagiarizing. Have some pride.
A section on his achievements, his Rome, his portraiture, his humour, his sayings and what people over ages say about him. Eventually, this section will also include books out of copyright.
The links are present, just very haphazard. I still need to weed out the links.
Who said what in which context according to whom?
For instance, most people know that Julius Caesar said "I came, I saw, I conquered." But who reported it? If you do a search on the web, the name that pops up the most is Shakespeare! Yes, Shakespeare uses it Love's Labours Lost IV.1.67-8*, but he plagiarises it from Suetonius (Divine Julius 37), and without reference to Caesar.
Then there are the quotes you know exist, but you cannot find a source or the speaker or the context. My goal is on put up my database on this site. It includes ancient and modern quotes on matters about the Classical world.
Who's Who
I am putting in links to biographies and discussions of people who made a difference. When my quote database is on-line, I will also put in quotable quotes from these people.
My collection of photos.
Coming soon… (I hope)

The United Nations Medical Service in New York is responsible for appointing United Nations Examining Physicians worldwide, based on the recommendations made by UN Resident Coordinators and WHO Representatives, and for issuing and updated list on an annual basis. The services of United Nation Examining Physicians are used not only by the United Nations, its Funds and Programs (UNDP, UNFPA, UNOPS, and UNICEF), but also by all its Specialized Agencyes.
UN Examining Physicians are appointed for the purpose of performing per-employment and periodic medical examinatios when requested. They can advise heads of agencies on the availability of medical facilities and the need for medical evacuation.
In Pakistan the appintment of these UN Physicians is traditionally been done by WHO for the past several years. This year the UN system would like to update the list by evaluating the potential candidates and then advise the UN Medical Service in New York to officially nominate the candidates. We would also like to nominate Physicans in such a way that they are nearer to all UN hubs and officials working all over the country. The exercise would be carried out by a local consultant who would conduct an evaluation and recommended Physicians would be shared with WHO and UNDP for nomination by UN HQ.
United Nations Examining Physicians are not given any formal contract. The fees they charge for their services are expected to be customary and resonable. Fees, which are considered excessive compared with the standard established by the United Nations, will be queried prior to any reimbursement by the United Nations or one of its Speicialized Agencies.
Term of Reference:
1. Preparation of check lists for the evaluation of potential candidates to be appointed as a UN Physicians. The check list should be based on criteria selected by UN Medical Services in New York. It should also cater the availability of laboratories, minimum medical equipment, a decent palce and health essential workforce.
2. The developed checklists would be shared with WHO for agreement and finalization.
3. Based on UN system informatoin on geographical spread and exixtance of UN hubs and workforce in the country develop an evaluation study plan.
4. Prepare a list of all potential candidates that meet the criteria of UN Physician. The Physician should be selected in such a manner so that they would be in easy reach of all UN staff in the country. This would be done in close collaboration with WHO officers working all over the country.
5. Develop a team of evaluation duly trained who would visit the clinic of each nominated Phycican and conduct an evaluation based on the developed checklists. WHO officers would be part of this team.
6. Develop a comprehensive report with advice on nomination of appropriate candidates, based on the evaluation study conducted, to be selected as UN Physicians.
Expected Outcomes:
1. To conduct an evaluation of potential medical physicians to be appinted as UN physicians in Pakistan.
2. Advise on the recommended names of appropriate candidates to be appointed as UN Physicians in Pakistan.
Final report in the form of hard copy and a soft copy describing the whole process of selection of the candidates and how the team came up with the final names.
Time Frame: 30 days (The process would be accomplised in 30 days).

How to make money on Facebook: No one knows
On Monday at the Graphing Social Patterns conference, I moderated a panel about making money from Facebook apps, with Giles Goodwin of Widgetbox, Hooman Radfar of Clearspring, and Jeff Nolan of Newsgator. It's a complicated question, especially for companies that have existing Web-based businesses. When do you start work on a Facebook app? Will a Facebook product cannibalize your other Web products? Can an online business survive on Facebook exclusively?
The panel agreed on just about nothing, which is indicative of a market in a very early stage of development. My favorite issue came from an audience question. John Furrier … Read more

Sam Houston will get a chance for revenge against Texas A&M as the Aggies visit Don Sanders Stadium Tuesday with first pitch at 6:30 p.m. The Aggies dropped the Bearkats 4-1 last week in College Station.
The Bearkats (20-15, 8-4) lost their first Southland series of the season at Lamar last weekend. After winning five in a row, SHSU has now lost three of their last four games.
Texas A&M (21-16, 6-9) was swept by Mississippi State at home after beating the Kats last week. The Aggies have lost their last three series but are 10-0 in midweeks this season.
"I think it's great for our team and our fans for the Aggies to come to town and have the SEC be a part of our schedule," said Bearkat head coach David Pierce. "These are the opportunities and the challenges that we want. These are the types of games that we want to play."
RHP Tyler Eppler (3-2, 3.41 ERA) vs. RHP Grayson Long (3-1, 3.48 ERA)
In the first matchup between the two teams, A&M starter Corey Ray shut down the Bearkat lineup. He pitched six and allowed just three hits and two walks. The middle of SHSU's batting order was held hitless in the game.
Left fielder Luke Plucheck was the only Kat able to put a run on the board with a solo homerun off of reliever Matt Kent. Plucheck kept swinging a hot bat into the weekend series at Lamar. In Saturday's game, the junior had a double, a triple, and four runs driven in. He leads the team with 27 RBI.
Starter Tyler Eppler pitched six innings against TAMU, allowing four runs on six hits while most of the damage was done on a three-run homer in the third inning.
Eppler has a 3.41 ERA with 22 strikeouts in seven midweek starts and ten appearances overall. The sophomore owns wins over Texas, Rice, and Houston this season.
Catcher Troy Stein drove in all four of the Aggie runs against Sam Houston. The backstop blasted his first homerun of the year and is hitting .294 with 11 RBI.
Leadoff hitter Mikey Reynolds had two hits against the Bearkats and leads the team with a .394 average. The shortstop has reached base in every game this season.
Sam Houston will host Prairie View A&M a day after the Aggies. First pitch is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at Don Sanders Stadium.
A large crowd is expected for Tuesday's game against Texas A&M. Purchase tickets in advance online at GoBearkats.com or over the phone by calling 936-294-1729.

Suped-up Subarus at the SEMA Show
Subaru's booth at the 2009 SEMA Show is located directly in front of the entrance to the show's Central Hall. And, wow, does it make a good first impression.
The first thing that you see upon passing through the doors is the towering 400-horsepower TRAX STI and its equally imposing sleigh trailer--built by none other than Subaru enthusiast numero uno, Ken Block. After finding our way around (or under) this massive one-off snowmobile, the rest of Subaru's offerings seemed a bit mild, yet were still impressive in their own ways.
For example, a VIP-styled Legacy sedan featured … Read more

This is an innovative solution I just came across for being able to recycle plastics that typically just end up in landfills or incinerated. This company, MBA Polymers, is mining landfills for plastics and using extremely sophisticated technology to sort and recycle the plastics. I am in favor of limiting the use of plastic in my life as much as possible because of plastic's negative environmental impact and potential health risks. However, I know there are many beneficial uses of plastic. For example, using plastic for car bodies makes them lighter and require less energy, which means less fossil fuels for older [Continue Reading...]

Guest: John Anthony West, Author- Magical Egypt Tours
Author, lecturer and guide, John Anthony West delivered a seismic shock to archaeology in the early 1990's when he and Boston University geologist Robert Schoch revealed that the Great Sphinx of Giza, Egypt, showed evidence of rainfall erosion. Such erosion could only mean that the Sphinx was carved during or before the rains that marked the transition of northern Africa from the last Ice Age to the present interglacial epoch, a transition that occurred in the millennia from 10,000 to 5000 BC.
