The rug is very thick and well made for the price. The dimensions are accurate and fill up my dining room well. The only problem was the color! Like almost all other reviews, the color is EXTREMELY off. My monitor had the rug appear red/wine colored. In actuality, the "red" part of the rug is almost a mahogany color. There are red fibers intertwined with brown ones that give it this color. A lot of olive in this rug as well. Sheds a lot as expected for a wool rug. The design is beautiful. I am satisfied with the rug although I had really wanted more of a burgundy/wine color. I didn't expect it to be THIS off. Again, a better description of the main color would be MAHOGANY. Hope this helps.
love the rug!! colors are black and burgundy and taupe. i would have been surprised had i not read the other rviews first. they are pretty accurate. rug is nice quality and colors are what i wanted. definately NOT red and gold though.
We received the rug three days ago, It was nice that Overstock provided tracking information, so we knew when it would arrive.Initial impressions: It's beautiful! It does look slightly different than the picture on the web site, as other reviewers have said, the red is more of a burgundy (but that's how it showed on my monitor anyway) The main difference that I see from the pic on the web site is that a lot of the patterns are outlined in a much lighter color than shows up on the picture, which really makes the design pop. Of course this is a handmade object, and I was expecting that there would be some variation.It feels very plush and cushy underfoot. The colors are lovely.My friends love it. The first comment I've heard twice now was, "you guys have good taste".It's lovely, it makes my room feel bigger than it did, it feels wonderful, it's everything that I wanted - highly recommend!
I was expecting a red or cranberry red color. I was disappointed that the rug is a dark burgandy and colors are dark earthtones, Lots of brown. Good quality, good price, color is NOT as pictured. The description should say burgandy. I thought I ordered wrong rug when it arrived.
the rug is beautiful, a little darker then I expected, but it makes it look even better in my dining room. The delivery was fast and prompt. It was wrapped very carefully and didn't mess up in rainy and snowy weather. I recomend this product for people who likes classic style.
This is a gorgeous rug! The price for this size was amazing. The gold, burgundy, grays and black of this rug work in great proportions to really make this rug pop with beauty in an wonderful fluid design. It brought a lively vibe to our great room. It is very thick and extremely heavy. I have had no need for a rug pad to hold it in place.
Great Rug, It is heavy, thick and well made!!! Saw similar one in Macys for over 2,000.00
I bought this rug as a replacement for one of similar color and pattern, but smaller size. I wanted a larger carpet that would wear well and protect a portion of the hardwood floor in our dining room that experiences a fair amount of traffic and this one will fill the bill. This rug is attractive and feels good underfoot. It arrived wrapped in brown paper with a sealed outer layer of plastic, so no worries if it is delivered to a front porch or a driveway. Though the rug was folded, it laid down well with just a small wrinkle on one side toward the center, which I expect will relax out within a few days. It's a good value for the price. It is thick so it is extremely heavy. It took two strong people to move into the house and several to lay over the foam carpet pad that we bought for underneath it. I would probably be more effusive, because this is a very good looking rug, if it weren't so similar to the one I was replacing which we've had for a number of years.
Very happy with the quality and color. It is shedding right now, as expected, but experience tells me this is a short term event.
I love my new rug. It looks great in my den. Great quality for the price. Thick. I am very impressed with overstock on the quality versus price on all the items I have purchased from them.

Eee... >w<
Please read all of it. :D
Long, long ago they say there were worlds before the world we live in now. It is rumored that those worlds were completely wiped out, right in front of the god's eyes. It is also said that the gods could not do a thing and helplessly watched all their perfect creations be destroyed ruthlessly. The world said to be directly before this world is supposedly the beginning of it all--the beginning of the terrors that claim this current world right now.
The gods were devastated over their first world being destroyed--the humans had achieved so much, and the planet had survived for more than one billion years. Suddenly, when the gods had returned to look down onto Earth, they saw their precious planet dead--not a single living organism in sight. Quicker than the bat of an eye, they demolished that planet and created another one. This world was planned to be absolutely flawless--and it was, at first.
Every human being was unbelievably perfect and lived in a perfect world with no worries, sicknesses, problems, nothing. It was then that the gods noticed their grave mistake. Dotted all across the vast planet were highly distorted areas that contained massive amounts of nuclear radiation, something no human could ever stand. They instantly made another world, quite similar to a mirror. This world was the opposite of the human world, but it watched over and somewhat protected it. The gods then quickly warned the humans not to go near these distortion spots, but the humans disobeyed them and marched off to settle in these areas.
At first, nothing was wrong. The humans were highly attracted to the warped land, as it was extremely close to magic--the one thing every human desired. When the female settlers began giving birth to more humans, the settlers realized their mistake.
These new children were a completely different species of humans. They could control, or Tame, the Elements, meaning they were of a magical species. The settlers were horrified, and they fled the area back to the mainland, leaving the children where they thought they belonged. They did not realized that they carried the immense radiation with them, which slowly turned them insane and slowly transformed them into the same kind of human as their offspring.
After growing used to their powers, they entered the mirror world, which they named the Azure World because of its blue tint. They discovered the spirit of the deepest part of the world and murdered her after learning that she controlled the distortion areas to some point. The new humans then yearned to take over the world, and they did, rather quickly. They were left with only one decision, a decision that was greatly affected by their insane minds--life or death.
The transformed humans chose death, and death did indeed pour over the land like a terrible hurricane. They were killed as well by their decision, and the gods were horrified--their creation was once again destroyed. The gods rethought over what their next world was to be like. They created it, giving it an equal balance of good and evil by keeping the Azure World with it and adding another world--Divusalix.
Divusalix was a world created by the insane humans of the previous world, which, therefore, made the world seem like a place very similar to Wonderland. It fed on the thoughts and ideas of those who entered it and completely morphs the entire world itself into a place matching the person's exact thoughts.
The gods soon saw that not all the insane magical humans had died in the previous world when many magical beings were being born yet again. They completely outnumbered the original human civilization, but the gods relaxed when they saw that they were not necessarily born killers.
The pressure of these magical humans enraged the new spirit of the Azure World, and drove her insane. She broke the promise she had with the gods and marched over into the human world and wiped out an entire country, announcing that the new species must be destroyed. The gods then placed a Gate between the two worlds, a Gate that not even the spirit could pass through. They told both the humans and the spirit that for the Gate to open, every single one of the worlds' strongest magical humans must be gathered there with each of their Keys. They soon realized, with horror, that their prophecy was completely correct, and those terrifyingly strong ones mentioned in their prophecy were being born. They saw they could do nothing about it, and watched as the children grew of age and began to form a fate that not even the gods could predict...A fate that would change the world forever.
Welcome to the planet of Pandora! Pandora is ruled by the King, named Andrealis. He has divided the planet up into several countries where one Princess is placed to guard over the land. You are one of the children in the prophecy, and you have come of age and are starting to be able to use your powers correctly. Your parents are from the second world, but you are either a spirit reborn from the first world, a survivor from the second world, or a native in the third world. Only you can choose your side, and only you can choose the path you take. It's all up to you from now on...So make wise choices, Chosen One.

Ex-E. Paul du Pont, last ridden in the 1970s
1906 Indian Camelback
Engine no. 2864
Oscar Hedstrom and Oliver Hendee, both active in the cycle racing world, got together to found the Hendee Manufacturing Company and built their first prototype Indian motorcycle in 1901. That first machine was powered by a single-cylinder, 15.85ci (260cc) 'F-head' (inlet over exhaust) engine that formed part of the 'diamond' frame - in the Indian's case it sloped rearwards to act as the seat tube. An advanced feature in motorcycling's early pioneering days, chain drive was used by Indian right from the start. The Indian single proved immensely successful and was produced substantially unchanged until around 1905, when a sprung front fork and twist-grip control of throttle and ignition were introduced. Engine production was sub-contracted to the Aurora Automatic Machinery Company between 1902 and 1907, when Indian took it back in house, while the frame and cycle parts were similarly out-sourced to Thor during the marque's early years. This somewhat unusual state of affairs resulted in the Indian single appearing in a number of different guises in the 1900s. America, Light Thor-Bred, Racycle, Reading-Standard Thoroughbred, Thor and Warwick offerings at this time were all essentially re-badged Indians; confirmation, if any were needed, of the virtues of the Hedstrom design. In competition too, the Indian single reigned supreme, winning America's first endurance run in 1902 and the first long-distance track race the following year. Prior to the appearance of a torpedo shaped gas tank in 1909, a hump-shaped tank mounted behind the seat had been an Indian trademark, leading to the adoption of the 'Camel Back' sobriquet for these early models.
The 1906 Indian offered here - serial number '2864' - is one of 1,698 machines produced that year (serial numbers ran from '2350' to '4048'). Unrestored and in wonderfully original condition, it was Paul du Pont's own motorcycle and very likely obtained directly from the factory. We are advised that the machine was last ridden and running in the 1970s. Offered on a bill of sale.

Women play an important role in the health of the whole family, often making health care decisions and scheduling doctor appointments. In the midst of caring for others, women need to remember to take care of their own eyes, especially in light of statistics showing that women are more likely to be blind or visually impaired than men. Sixty percent of the blind and visually impaired are women, according to the Women's Eye Health Task Force based at The Schepens Eye Research Institute at Harvard University. Child-bearing can also affect vision and place a greater importance on eye examinations.
As women age, they are at greater risk for blindness and visual impairment. Most conditions that impair vision or cause blindness are more prevalent in women, including macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and dry eye syndrome.* While most experts say that women's longer life spans cause this disparity, regular eye examinations can identify the conditions sooner and improve the likelihood of preserving sight.
In recent years, the American Optometric Association has emphasized prenatal eye care. Diabetes and blood pressure - which can be brought on by pregnancy - can be diagnosed through a comprehensive eye exam even before an obstetrician tests for them. Plus, many women experience vision changes because of increased hormone levels. Vision normally returns to normal within nine months of giving birth, so most optometrists recommend waiting to get a new prescription.
While taking care of the rest of the family, don't forget to take care of your vision care needs. Have your eyes examined every year to keep them working for you for years to come.

U2 and 20 people
i have seen u2 so many times but the one that stands out for me is when a radio 1 compertition in 2000 to see the band play live in front of 20 fans. there played five songs from AYCLB and then there came and had a chat with us all. i will nerver forget that day. best live track that day was stuck in a momont.

Hello U2: My name is JOÃO. I am Portuguese and I will go to the first show in Coimbra (02 october). I know this is a stupid and impossible request. But I'll try anyway. My mother died last July 13 with a stupid and dramatic disease called Cancer. I am one of many eager fans of U2, and I would like Bono sang a snippet of the song "Sometimes You Can Make It On Your Own" in memory of my mother. It would, for me, the best tribute which could provide to my mother. Sorry for my inconvenience, but I've been thinking for a while, if i send or not this email. Maybe this is a dream for a crazy u2 fan. At least i try. Thank you for your atention João Almeida

they were singing for me only
Turin 2010 was my third U2 gig. I took place in the middle of the 2 stages, near one of the moving bridges. Bono came, he stopped and sang. Everybody was taking pictures "Oh well, Bono is over my head"! I wasn't. I was just looking into his eyes and it seems to he was there singing for me only. In the middle of 45000 people I felt like there was only them and me. An unforgettable feeling!

Awesome Seats
It was my 1st U2 Show, out of 8... i was late getting to the show with no tickets. i asked some guys coming out if they had tickets, they were leaving because they weren't U2 fans but his dad had a box. i bought his box seats for 10 dollars...we were right in the midle of the 2 stages only a few rows up.. the show was awesome and so were my seats...his loss and my gain...!!!

My First U2 Concert.
They used to use wristbands, and I was selected to be first in line. I was disappointed when I only received 20th row seats. But I was right next to the "B" stage. U2 performed some songs just a few of feet away from me! I pointed to Edge and gave a thumbs up. He acknowledged me with a wink. U2 performed a personal concert just to me and 20,000 people showed up to watch. Best show ever!

Pizza for Everyone!
I had three slices of hot pepperoni pizza before I joined others and passed the boxes over our heads to the rows behind us!
kitegirlpdx08 - 21 October, 2009
Words Fail!!!!!!!!!!!
As this was my first U2 experience live, it was sensory overload in the best way possible. I had nosebleed seats, and still felt like I totally connected with the Band. When Bono ordered 10,000 pizzas for his "friends" it was hilarious,, but when pizza delivery boys appeared at the the end of the show with dolly's of pizza boxes which were flung out to the fans, it was brilliant:) Mysterious Ways, was memorizing as the beautiful dancer emerged while Bono sang.. The energy of that night, and connection of the fans is something I have never forgotten. I was hooked. Craving those powerful live performance experiences with this Band can border on a cocaine addiction, but in a good way!

3. Buy a "love line" in The Botetourt View. Yes, this is a cheap promotional ploy, but it's also cheap (only 99 cents a line) and the ultimate promotion is, well, for you. Call 981-3311 to place your "Love Line" in print. Deadline: Noon on Tuesday, Feb. 10.
4. Go see "Bubbles of Emotion" at Attic Productions just south of Fincastle. It's a love story, of sorts, and the show opens Feb. 12. (For a story and photos, click here.)
5. Go see "She Loves Me" at Showtimers community theatre just off 419 in Roanoke County. It's a love story, and it opens Feb. 12. The Botetourt connection: Cheryl Lunsford of Fincastle is the music director. (For more on the show, see this story.)
6. Go see the Feb. 14 show by Roanoke's comedy improv troupe, The Big Lick Conspiracy, which features Ross Laguzza of Fincastle. The group has performed at the Waldron Stage at Mill Mountain Theatre; no word yet on where the Valentine's Day show will be, since Mill Mountain has closed — check back here for an update.

You're prepared to do anything to keep your offspring safe, but is your house kid-friendly? Use this guide to childproofing your home and rest easy.
In the Bedroom
- Check the crib. Make sure that your crib meets today's safety standards (see the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's website, cpsc.gov, for tips). Pull cords away from the crib, and keep the crib away from windows, if possible.
- Install window guards. But remember: While window guards provide reassurance, they are not a subtitute for parental supervision.
In the Bathroom
- Install safety latches and locks. Put safety guards on toilets to make sure that children can't get in them, and on any cabinet or drawer that contains medicine or any other hazardous items.
- Have a plumber install an anti-scald device for the faucets and showerhead. Regulate the water temperature to help prevent burns.
See Real Simple's Last-Minute Survival Guide for Parents
In the Kitchen
- Lock stove knobs. Keep kids from igniting stove burners by using protective appliance knob covers.
- Install a safety cover on the garbage disposal. A cover will safeguard little hands.
- Attach safety latches and locks. Secure any drawers containing knives, scissors, and sharp utensils, and keep kids out of any cabinets that contain household cleaners.
See Real Simple's Guide to Safely Storing Your Cleaning Supplies
Throughout the House
- Cut window-blind cords. Or use safety tassels and inner cord stops so that children can't get entangled.
- Place covers over unused outlets. Sliding covers are the best, as the push-in ones can be pulled out and possibly choked on.
- Put up safety gates. Install hardware-mounted safety gates in front of any stairs in the house.
- Install corner and edge bumpers. These will help prevent injuries from falls against sharp edges.
- Use doorstops and door holders. Keep small fingers from being crushed or pinched in doors and door hinges.
- Switch to cordless phones, if you haven't already. Children can get tangled in phone cord. Plus, keeping an eye on your young ones is easier, since you can move around the house (or even outside) freely.
- Make a kid-free zone. Banish little ones from the grilling area, as well as any structure or shed that might contain tools, lawn mowers, etc.
- Childproof the pool. Install a five-foot-high fence around its perimeter. Make sure that the gate to the pool has a lock that prevents children from entering alone but can be opened quickly by an adult in case of an emergency. And don't let water accumulate on the top of the pool cover-that's a drowning hazard.

The Wii has unleashed and new degree of action and interactivity for gaming enthusiasts. A clever custom electronics professional (CE pro) in Normal, Ill., has made the world of Wii even more realistic by integrating it with a distributed audio and video system.
The setup is particularly well-suited for Wii Golf, says Jay McArdle of electronics integration firm Zeller Digital Innovations (ZDI), Inc.
"By distributed the audio and video throughout the house, a family can play one hole in one room, and have the audio in the hallway as they walk to the 'next hole,' or room and play again."
Since ZDI's first installation of the system in 2007, the setup has become a popular customer request.
"Now, anytime we put in a distributed audio and video system, we'll add in the Wii," says McArdle. If you already own a Wii console and a few TVs, the only added expense is a distribution system and extra wireless Wii bars, he adds. However, there are a few limitations. Three rooms are about all the system can handle, and those rooms must be within a 40 foot radius of the main Wii console.
"Distributed video has opened up other interesting applications for us," McArdle continues.
In addition to the virtual golf course setup, a distributed video system can help parents monitor their kids' computer use. The parents are able to see in real-time on the screen of any TV what the kids are doing on the computer. For one family, ZDI provided the parents with an even stricter means of control. From a touchpanel mounted in the kitchen they could flash the lights as a warning then turn off the computers remotely if necessary.

LINCOLN — Last spring, Gov. Dave Heineman lost a bitter and emotion-filled battle with state lawmakers over publicly funded health coverage.
This year promises to bring the combatants back for another match.
60%-75% would be expected to take advantage of the coverage.
Coverage would be extended to all adults who make below $14,856 for a single person or $25,390 for a family of three.
Source: Nebraska Legislature fiscal staff
At issue then was providing prenatal coverage for the unborn babies of illegal immigrants. Lawmakers approved the coverage over Heineman's veto.
At issue now is whether to expand Medicaid to cover all low-income Nebraskans.
The expansion was required by the 2010 federal health care law but made optional for states by a U.S. Supreme Court ruling issued in June.
Heineman has made his opposition to the expansion clear.
He calls the expansion an "unfunded" program that Nebraska cannot afford. He has said that undertaking the expansion would mean cutting spending on education or raising taxes.
"Those who want to expand Medicaid need to answer the question 'How are you going to fund it?'" the governor said.
But several lawmakers — along with a coalition of health care providers and advocacy organizations — argue that the expansion makes fiscal and moral sense for Nebraska.
A similar battle is brewing in Iowa, where Republican Gov. Terry Branstad has labeled the expansion unaffordable and State Sen. Jack Hatch, a Des Moines Democrat, plans to push a bill approving the expansion.
In Nebraska, some of the same senators who led the fight on the prenatal issue are gearing up to make a push this year for the expansion.
State Sen. Kathy Campbell of Lincoln, the chairwoman of the Health and Human Services Committee, introduced the prenatal bill last year and plans to offer legislation on the expansion.
She said Nebraska pays in many ways for not providing health coverage for those who could gain it with the expansion.
"I think we should participate in it," she said. "We certainly would, in the long term, save money."
Sen. Jeremy Nordquist of Omaha sees the expansion as a "moral imperative" for the state, as well as an economic boon.
The federal health care overhaul will make health insurance available to people making federal poverty level incomes or more, starting in 2014.
But, without the expansion, some of the poorest Nebraskans would remain without health coverage.
Nordquist points to a recent Harvard School of Public Health study that found Medicaid coverage reduces deaths.
"In Nebraska, there would be 500 lives in a year that would be saved," he said.
Heading into the Jan. 9 legislative session, Nordquist said he believes backers have the 25 votes to pass a Medicaid expansion. He hopes they can find five more to override an expected Heineman veto.
Nordquist looks to the prenatal care battle for encouragement.
"That certainly gives me confidence to keep pushing forward on this one," he said.
Campbell said she doesn't know how much support the expansion has. She said many senators are waiting to learn more about its potential costs and benefits.
Among that group is Sen. Tom Hansen of North Platte, one of the candidates for Appropriations Committee chairman.
"I'm open to the expanded Medicaid," he said. "We certainly need to talk about it and find out if there's interest in the state."
Sen. John Harms of Scottsbluff said the issue boils down to cost and the state's priorities.
But figuring out the cost has been controversial. Studies come to different conclusions, depending on their assumptions about how many people would take advantage of it, how much their care would cost and what expenses and savings should be counted.
Federal funds will pay 100 percent of the costs from 2014 through 2016, declining to 90 percent of the cost by 2020.
Legislative fiscal staffers estimated that the expansion would increase state Medicaid spending by $123.3 million from fiscal year 2013-14 through fiscal year 2019-20.
A consultant brought in by the Department of Health and Human Services pegged that cost at around $500 million from 2011 through 2020.
"The bottom line is the unfunded Medicaid expansion will ultimately cost the state of Nebraska hundreds of millions of dollars," Heineman said.
He said Nebraska should not count on the federal government to live up to its promises, noting that federal support for special education has not kept pace with costs.
Backers look beyond Medicaid and say the expansion, along with other provisions of the health care overhaul, could produce savings in several state and local programs.
Among government programs potentially affected are regional behavioral health and public health services, correctional services, breast and cervical cancer screenings, state employee insurance premiums and county general assistance programs.
Backers also argue that a healthier workforce is an economic development asset.
In addition, having expanded Medicaid coverage would shield the state's larger employers from paying penalties for not providing affordable insurance to employees.
"The savings to the entire system are huge," Nordquist said.

The story is a long one and I won't go into it all now but I will try to answer your questions.
How was it possible to face your sister/sister-in-law after you began your A?
Actually it was hard. We hung out every weekend. Husband and his brother were very close and our kids are about the same age and played a lot of the same sports. There weren't too many times though where it was just the two of them and the two of us. There were usually other people, kids, etc. around to distract us. He had me convinced that she was a bad wife and that I was helping him. Sounds lame now I know but at the time, in my head, it made sense. He said that when he was happy he was a better person and a better father. I knew it was wrong but somehow I felt I was helping him.
Did you really believe that as long as no one knew, no one would get hurt? (That's what my FWH told me him and the OW said to each other.)
Yes, actually then I did. I figured what my H didn't know, wouldn't hurt him. Now I see clearly. I hurt him (and the real me) every time I was with his B.
Were you able to share any of your thoughts, feelings, etc., with anyone or was there extreme secrecy to "protect the innocent?"
Yes, one girlfriend of mine knew. She was also in an A. My H actually told her H about her A. He said that he wished someone would have told him. After her H found out, as you can imagine, she blamed me. We really haven't had much contact since and I'm not sure we ever will. I realize that I cannot subjective myself to that kind of behavior. It's just not good for me or my marriage.
What was that like having to hold a secret of that magnitude to yourself?
Unbearable. It was a relief to finally have it out in the open. After he found out, I opened up completely. No questions were left unanswered. He was allowed to ask anything, say anything, scream anything. I know what I did is unexcuseable and unforgivable but for some reason he's decided to stay and work things out. I thank God every day for him and for his strength. I think what made it easier for him to trust me was that after he found out about the affair and before his brother's wife knew, he (the brother) tried it again but I went straight to my H and told him. I think that showed him I was committed to him and our marriage. Anyway what happened next is another story.
Soon after that H went off on B, B told his W and we've been NC since. I have had many regets in my life but this is the biggest. I lost the respect of my husband, my kids and my friends and I had no one to blame to myself. Guilt is a very hard thing to live with. Don't think that I'm saying what you have to live with isn't hard, I'm just giving you my point of view. I hope that this is coming out right. I understand your pain. I see it in my H's face every day. It's so hard to look at him and see the hurt and know that I am the cause of that hurt. All I can do is keep going, keep showing him that I love him, keep talking with him and keep loving him. Not all W spouses are "heartless no good people". I'm not a bad person I just did a horrible thing to the person I love the most in this world.
Of note, I did write an apology letter to my SIL. I didn't get a response nor was I expecting one. I just wanted her to know that I was sorry.
I hope this all came out the way I intended it to. Even though I don't know any of you, I'm truly sorry for your pain.
Let's see, one of the OW was my hairstylist. I never knew. It came as such a shock when I found out.
Another OW was a (at one time) good friend. I now think she became my friend just to get close to WH.
Another OW was another "good friend" who said she was acting as a sex surrogate for WH. Uh...hello? I'm here! Ready, quite willing and very able!
Several other OW's were his co-workers who he introduced me to, invited into our home, etc.
Here's where I barf...

"My questions for you are how do you handle family occassions such as christmas, birthdays etc. and do the rest of your husband's family know what happened?"
We don't handle them. After H and B had it out, he told his wife while their children were around. She, needless to say, blew up. SIL did some really unthinkable things to my children. We told H's sister (who we were also close with). BIL told the rest of his family his side of the story. No one, absolutely no one, called H to ask how he was doing. H speaks to one of his brothers but no one else in his family. He wrote his B a letter telling him how he felt but no response, not even an "I'm sorry". H is about ready to write another letter writing him out of his life completely. This is what is really hard for me. I have a very close family and it saddens me that his family hasn't been there for him. I know that part of that reason is my fault but I thought unconditional love was just that, unconditional love. My family also knows but accepts me for who I am and the mistakes that I have made. His on the other hand cannot be there for him and it's mind boggling. He didn't do anything wrong but yet his family won't talk to him. I can understand them not wanting to talk to me, but what did he do? Nothing, but love me.
Anyway, I hope that helped. I must say that I was a little nervous about responding to this topic because of the blacklash but you have all pleasantly surprised me. Thanks!
Thank you for being so brave and to come here.
I have a couple of questions.
* How did the A start? Specifically, you wnet from being a relative to a friend to an EA (I assume) and then to a PA?
* Do you believe that your H or SIL ever suspected anything?
* Were you ever jealous of SIL and any attention BIL showed her?
* Were you expecting a long term relatinship with BIL? If not, what were your intent or reason for the A?
* Finally, does your H's family support BIL? Or have they cut of contact with him also? If not, I would find that to be very odd and dysfunctional.
Thank you. If you do not feel comfortable answering any of the questions then please do not. My H was never honest, did not answer questions, and continued the A. So I have been left to my own devices to try to figure out what happened and how it happened. I am also trying to figure out what the hell they were thinking carrying on the A right in front of me and making me think I was crazy to suspect anything.
I'm in the double betrayal group too. H had an A with friend and neighbor. I think it is hard for us that have had the double whammy put to us. Not only are we dealing with our wandering H, the lies, deceit, etc. - but we are dealing with the friends deception as well. That was so hard because I almost more upset that my friend who I trusted could do this to ME. She lives across the street from me, so we saw each other literally every day. In the summer time we would sit on my or her front porch, drinking sodas and watching the kids play. Now, there is a huge hole that has been blown to hell. My FWH and I are doing fairly well. Definately NC for all of us except the FOW's H and I. He and I talk once in a while, but usually not about the A. My d-day will be one year ago this Sunday. Can't believe it has been a whole year, but I can't wait until this weekend is over.
Sidenote to Wewillbeokay: Thank you so much for posting. How brave you are - your post has helped me be more understanding of how this can happen. I appreciate you.
Healed after five years and with God's Grace.
We were actually friends before a relative. I actually knew him before I met my H. My sister went to school with him so I knew him through her. We were always able to talk to each other easily. I guess seriously talking about one to two years before the PA started. We were at a concern one night with SIL, BIL, me and another friend. My H couldn't go. We were outside talking and smoking. Went to the bathroom (together which was a bad idea) and he kissed me. From there it just kind of escalated.
No, I don't think either one did at first. Not sure if H ever really suspected it or not but one day he read an e-mail I hadn't deleted to another friend (the one who knew about my A) and he confronted me the next morning. I'm not really sure why he read it nor have I ever asked him. I figured I didn't have a right to considering what he found out.
No I don't think so. Sometimes I just wanted to smack her upside the head for not paying any attention to her H or for not seeing his needs.
No I was not. While I did truly care about him, I wasn't in love with him. We were friends and I thought that I was helping him. I know that sounds really weird but in my head that is what I thought I was doing. Showing him that there was someone out there who would love, support and show affection to him. He would tell me that he loved me and my response was you don't love me, you love the thought of me. I was everything he wanted her to be.
Yes they do support him. As I said previously, H still talks to one of his brothers. He has 3 brothers and 1 sister. H hasn't talked to his mom in over a year or his other 2 brothers in over a year and a half. Sad but true. I've tried to get him to talk to his mom but he's just not ready. I just hope that when he is ready, she still around. She got cancer and is having chemo. I can't make him do something he doesn't want to. It breaks my heart that a mom wouldn't be there for her child especially when he did nothing wrong. Anyway, that's completely a new set of issues that I won't bore you with.
Thank you. If you do not feel comfortable answering any of the questions then please do not.
I'm surprised myself how much this is easier than I thought it would be and how much it actually helps me. I can't take back what I did and I know that my H knows how sorry I am. I'm just glad that I can help someone else understand some of their issues.
My H was never honest, did not answer questions, and continued the A. So I have been left to my own devices to try to figure out what happened and how it happened. I am also trying to figure out what the hell they were thinking carrying on the A right in front of me and making me think I was crazy to suspect anything.
I'm sorry for you pain. The one thing I did do right was be an open book after he found out. Sometimes he was ask questions and I would stop him and ask him if he relly wanted to know the answers. When he said yes, I would give them. My life is an open book and I love it and I love him!
Hope this helped. Stay strong.
"My life is an open book "
I am glad Since I discovered the A I have made my life an open book because honest and trust has become so very important to me.
Some of what you wrote was hard for me to read -- some of it hits close to home. But that is all part of healing -- owning my own shit.
I am sorry that your H's family has "shunned" him. I am glad that you are healing, helping him heal, and being so honest. That is very admirable.
Played little mom to her.
She called me her 'that girl' because she thought that I was on tv. She always looked up to me.
She had gotten a little wild. Suggestive remarks to my h who she says she always had a crush on. Went from flashing him to get him to give her cigarettes. And it went from there. Oral sex, never intercourse. Just fun as she says, playing around.
They hate each other now.
And, her life just kept going downhill. Alcohol, drugs. Crack addict. Prostitution.
Not sure where she is right now. I still worry about her. She is my baby sister.
I'm not quite sure if this question has been asked before. Sorry if it was covered and I'm asking again.
Did you feel "weird" during the affair when all four of you were together? Did you feel guilty? There was your husband and his wife and this great big secret you and the BIL had between you. Did it make you uncomfortable? The last FB lived with us for three weeks during the affair. I can't process how she managed to accept my hospitality and friendship while secretly destroying my marriage. WS's explanation is that he was so wrapped up in his own world he never thought about it. All he thought about was that his life was good. He had his FB and his family together.
Second question.
If you four were so close, did YOU witness your SIL being cold or remote or whatever the reason your BIL used to have an affair with you? Or looking back in hindsight were you just willing to believe whatever your BIL told you? Were things bad in your relationship or were you "bored"?
I'm dealing with five so called friends that had sex with WS. They were all married. I'm trying to figure out possible reasons why they would agree to have sex with WS. Trust me....he's no Adonis and he's not a sex god in bed.
Third question.
How did the kids find out (if they did) and have you seen any fall-out from them?
Thanks again for being our "question board". You've helped me some.
wewillbeok ~ Thank you so much for being vulnerable with us. Thank you for answering our questions.
I have a few questions too.
1. Did you ever think about how much this was going to hurt your H and the rest of the family? Or were your thoughts mostly centred around you and BIL and how the A made you feel? What were your thoughts on this.
2. Did you think you would ever get caught? Did you ever want to be caught? Did you think about how you would handle it if you got caught?
3. At any time during the A did you and BIL try to end the relationship?
4. Did you and BIL talk 'in order to get your stories straight'? By that I mean did you guys plan out your responses so they were consistent?
5. Did you ever laugh/snicker/talk about your H/SIL with each other? Did you mock them ever? Hmmm..this question is not coming out right. How do I say this? When you guys lied or manipulated the situation so you could be together (I'm just assuming you did this...if you didn't then I apologize) did you laugh about how your H/SIL bought the lie?
6. You said that in your head you thought that you were helping BIL. I heard this from wh and ow too. How did it become OK in your mind that your help involved physical actions? In your mind, what was being physical helping him with?
7. Did you ever tell yourself that you had crossed the line? Can you share some of your internal dialogue on this.
I hope my questions make sense. I have so many and it was hard to focus myself and get the question out.
If you don't want to answer any question that is OK. Thanks again for helping us try to understand some of this!

Sometimes I just wanted to smack her upside the head for not paying any attention to her H or for not seeing his needs.

1. Did you ever think about how much this was going to hurt your H and the rest of the family? Or were your thoughts mostly centred around you and BIL and how the A made you feel? I guess that I tried not to because Im sure that if I thought about it, I wouldnt have continued the A. 2. Did you think you would ever get caught? Did you ever want to be caught? Did you think about how you would handle it if you got caught? I tried not to think about getting caught. I did want to end it and actually several times we decided that we were going to end it. This A was definitely initiated by him (not saying that I dont have any responsibility in it but it would be him stopping by my house during the day). Im not sure if initiated is the right word but after we would say that was it, no more, a couple of weeks would go by he would feel the need and he would show up. I do and have taken responsibility for this A and in looking back now I see how used I was. He wasnt getting something at home and because I did truly care about him, he got it from me. Im having trouble finding the right words here and I hope that this is coming out right. If you need follow up, just ask. 3. At any time during the A did you and BIL try to end the relationship? I think I covered that. 4. Did you and BIL talk 'in order to get your stories straight'? By that I mean did you guys plan out your responses so they were consistent? No, we really didnt have to. Our A wasnt really about intercourse it was more about oral sex. Not like that is any different, cheating is cheating. What I mean is that we would steal moments here and there. During the day when he stopped by, no one would know but that wasnt too often. H had horseshoe tournaments in the yard and we would steal moments in the house together. We never really had to explain time together. 5. Did you ever laugh/snicker/talk about your H/SIL with each other? Did you mock them ever? Hmmm..this question is not coming out right. How do I say this? When you guys lied or manipulated the situation so you could be together (I'm just assuming you did this...if you didn't then I apologize) did you laugh about how your H/SIL bought the lie? I never mocked my H. He sometimes would say stuff about his W but not that often. 6. You said that in your head you thought that you were helping BIL. I heard this from wh and ow too. How did it become OK in your mind that your help involved physical actions? In your mind, what was being physical helping him with? God how awful that sounds but its how I felt at that time. I guess I thought that by showing him someone could be there for him, affectionate to him and to satisfy his needs, he could also find it when he left his wife. He had plans to leave or at least that is what he told me. He kept a journal of her actions. She also drank a lot and he was the one mostly caring for the kids. 7. Did you ever tell yourself that you had crossed the line? Can you share some of your internal dialogue on this. Oh I, we both knew that we had crossed that line. I just couldnt seem to find my way back to the line. Im still trying to deal with the internal dialogue on this. I dont know how I could have hurt the one person in my life that I truly love. I think about it every day but I have to go on. H and I now talk a lot whenever and where ever we need to. He realizes that I need that from him. We cant move forward by living in the past. You have to keep moving forward. Some days are harder than others but we make a conscious effort to not live in the past and to just move forward. I hope that this has helped. Thank you again for not attacking me. Im doing this to me heal as well as you all. Attacking someone and name calling always leads to being defensive and never really accomplishes anything. Thanks again! Wewillbeok
Im sorry for your pain and Im sorry if what Ive said caused you more. I never went out looking for an affair, I guess that I was just vulnerable to one. I dont want to make excuses for what Ive said or what Ive done, but Im trying to learn from my mistakes to make sure that they dont happen again. I did need more in my marriage and so did my H and by the grace of God we get a second chance. It takes an incredible man to forgive and look beyond faults in someone he loves and I must say that I have an incredible man. I love you babe!

Reference thing
It is unclear what the borders of Eriador were to the south; it is unknown whether the Greyflood or Lune rivers even existed in the First Age. Presumably the Greyflood followed the same route through Eriador to the lower end of the extended Blue Mountains - before reaching the sea somewhere to the west of the White Mountains.[1]:4
Central Eriador was scattered with many groups of hills including the Tower Hills (Emyn Beraid), Hills of Evendim (Emyn Uial), Weather Hills as well as the Far Downs, White Downs, South Downs, North Downs and Barrow-downs (Tyrn Gorthad); Fonstad noted that the "longitudinal axes [of the hills] formed concentric rings".[1](this thing should be in brackets) Despite large deforestation by the Númenóreans during the Second Age some wooded areas remained, such as the Old Forest, Woody End, Bindbole Wood (sometimes seen as "Bindbale"), Chetwood around Bree-hill, the Trollshaws, and, largest of all, Eryn Vorn; Hollin was so named due to the large numbers of holly trees which grew there.[1] Other geographic features include Midgewater Marshes, Rushock Bog, and Overbourn Marshes.
