pressure reducing chair cushion
By Liz
from Jacksonville, FL
I bought these cushions to use on our enclosed porch to use on cloth covered recliners to help with conserving the original chair covering. They are really too small, the fabric is extremely rough, and they aren't very comfortable. We have washed them and used fabric softener in both the washer and the dryer with no discernible difference.
All around good deal. Well worth it
By hot cynders
from shasta lake, Ca.
bought it for my sister to use while in her wheelchair. she loves it and gets many compliments on it.

Not what I expected
By Native San Diegan
from Solana Beach
I ordered this based on the appearance that showed in the picture, it looked nice and plush. When it arrived, it is flimsy and doesn't hold up well. Material is cheap, etc. I would not buy this product again, even if it were free.
Pressure, smesher, not a treasure

About Me Elderly
Was disappointed in this product. I thought it would be thicker and material heavier but it was flimsy. Used it on lawn chair.
Too small
By Big Bob
from Biloxi, Ms
I took measurements and when the product arrived found that it was way to small for my rocker.
Wicker chair cushion
By Senior Citizen
from Massachusetts
These cushions are comfortable, but do not fit larger wicker chairs correctly. They do not cover the arms.

Mom loves it for her lift chair !
By IW Bravo

About Me Elderly, Long Term User
Cushion boosted moms chair allowing easier sitting and getting up on her own from her favorite chair. Cushion sides & arm wings were actually too thick for using in wheel chair, but mom loves it in her primary rocker / recliner.

With 20 small children dead, anger is an expected and understandable emotion. Unfortunately, many of the angry have let rage take over and are trying to push an agenda rather than attempting to reach out to those who are hurting in the massacre's aftermath.
Social media websites have been a sounding board for hot topics, such as gun control, violent video games, mental health funding and prayer in schools.
All those issues are worthy of debate, but in the early days following this kind of tragedy, we should all forget our own agendas and think about others.
How can we help those who are mourning in Newton, Conn.?
Signs around the town on Saturday read, "Please pray for Newtown" and "Love will get us through."
If you believe in prayer, take time over the next few days to include the people of Newtown when you talk to God. If you don't pray, keep the folks who have lost loved ones in your thoughts.
Love will get Newton through, and we can help by loving right here at home. If you have children, give them a hug and a kiss. Let them know how much they mean to you, because you may not have that opportunity again.
When tragedy strikes, we all go through a range of emotions, but all of us will be better served if we can remember to love and share that love with others.

A small sampling of typical Guest Quotes over the years:
"Thank you so much for your warm hospitality and GREAT house!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and you have all the basics covered.
We had 15 people here from ages 1 to 66 , and everybody found
something to do that appealed to them. The outside spaces are great,
as is the game room. I hope everybody who visits after we leave has
a good a time as we did." - The Cory Family –
"Once again, a smashing good time! We had a lot of fun with
everything. A great place that held us all. This place is loaded
with plenty to do and being by the water was great! Your efforts to
accommodate our group were tremendous. Thanks for working with us.
My kids loved this time. They are young and enjoyed the back yard as
well as the lake time. Thanks for all you did 'extra' for our family
group. The only complaint I heard was 'too bad we have to sleep some
of the time'. So much to do and enjoy and so little time. We never
even discussed doing things away from your house." - The Chery
"This family gathering is something I have wanted for
sometime, to be able to accomplish it in such a fine home and
beautiful setting was a bonus. We spent more hours together this
trip than we have since we were kids. When you said that the house
was fully stocked and that we would see the resident osprey and
enjoy the water, you were right. It was a true pleasure." - The
Bars and Hudgins families -
"Thank you for sharing your beautiful house, it will be
remembered for the wonderful time we all shared. Our laughter
rattled the walls, and our love filled the air, showing our young
children what family & love is all about." - The Teague
Family - Toledo, OR . -

The City of Aberdeen says it has exceeded the E. coli standard during the month of June.
The affected areas are from North Washington Street to North High Street and from 4th Avenue Northeast to 12th Avenue Northeast.
The city advises that people should not drink the water without boiling it first. All water should be boiled for one minute and cooled, or people should use bottled water.
The bacteria in the drinking water can make you sick and are a particular concern for people with weakened immune systems. Symptoms from E. coli infection include diarrhea, cramps, nausea or headaches.
The State of South Dakota and the United States Environmental Protection Agency set drinking water standards and have determined that the presence of fecal matter or E. coli is a serious health concern.
E. coli can pose a special health risk for infants, young children, some of the elderly and people with severely compromised immune systems.

Johan Djourou just came within about a foot of scoring what would have been an incredibly unfortunate own goal, deflecting an attempted pass from Wayne Rooney into the side netting with Manuel Almunia totally stranded. If that had gone in, it would have been very tough to blame the defender for the goal, considering that less than ten seconds prior Arsenal had the ball on the break and should have built up a strong attack - but a backwards pass by Maroune Chamakh broke up the momentum and the Abou Diaby gave the ball away. It was very, very sloppy play from the visitors. Abou Diaby is now off for Aaron Ramsey, and Arsenal have also made their third and final change - Tomas Rosicky on for Andrei Arshavin.
Chamakh has hit the crossbar, but nobody should mistake that for a chance on goal. A long ball dropped right onto the Moroccan's head and popped up well into the air, eventually landing on top of the crossbar and bouncing harmlessly behind. Edwin van der Sar had the flight covered regardless.

In 1941, a young Bud Kirchhoff was deployed to Clark Air Base in the Philippines. Just 18 days later his life would change dramatically.
Friday, at a ceremony remembering those who were taken as Prisoners of War and those who were never found, he told his story.
A Staff Sergeant in the 192nd Tank Battalion, Bud remembers December 7th vividly. Overshadowed by the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Clark Air Base was also bombed, destroying the airfield and all of the aircraft lining it.
Shortly after the attack, the Japanese took between 60,000 and 80,000 American soldiers as Prisoners of War. Among them was Bud Kirchhoff. For a year, and a half Bud lived as a POW, even surviving the infamous Bataan Death March. Eventually, he was moved to Japan, where he spent another two years under Japanese control working in a coal mine.
Liberated at the end of the war, Kirchhoff finally jumped aboard an Indian freighter and made it back to Seattle on Navy Day in 1945. He is now a commander with the ex-POW's here in Spokane, offering his support for others who went through the same thing he did.

Accreditation Assessment Team Invites Public Comment
The public is invited to comment in October by phone or in writing on the Anne Arundel Community College Department of Public Safety's ability to comply with international campus law enforcement standards as part of the re-accreditation process.
The department was awarded initial accreditation in September 2008 from the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators (IACLEA.) A team of IACLEA assessors will visit AACC on Oct. 16 to examine all aspects of the department's policy and procedures, management, operation and support services, said AACC Public Safety Department Director Gary Lyle.
The assessors will take comments at 410-777-1278 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Monday, Oct. 17. Mail written comments directly to: IACLEA Accreditation, 342 North Main Street, West Hartford, CT 06117-2507.
"I am committed to fiscal accountability and ensuring that the department maintains a workforce with the professional capabilities necessary to meet the demands of public safety, today and tomorrow," Lyle said. "To that end, the department has applied for re-accreditation with IACLEA."
Verification that the department meets IACLEA's 187 state-of-the-art standards is part of the voluntary re-accreditation process. Accreditation is a highly prized recognition of campus public safety professional excellence, Lyle said. A copy of the 187 standards is available at the department, which is located in the Central Services Building on the Arnold campus. Contact department Deputy Director Cleveland Smith at 410-777-1190 to view the standards.
Smith is the Accreditation Manager for the department. He said the assessment team is composed of experienced, out-of-state campus law enforcement professionals. The assessors -- team leader Capt. Gary Heller, Amtrak Police Department, and Dr. Richard Martin, Mercer University School of Continuing & Professional Studies -- will review written materials, interview individuals and inspect facilities where compliance can be witnessed.
Accreditation is for three years, during which the department must submit annual reports attesting to continued compliance with those standards under which it was initially accredited.

A Miami Dolphins cap has become the center of a controversy involving up-and-coming San Francisco 49ers' star QB Colin Kaerpernick.
It all began on the Fourth of July when the new star QB was photographed partying shirtless — and sporting a white Miami Dolphins hat. The photo was first tweeted out by @DolFanBandits.
Some 49ers fans who saw it considered it disrespectful to see their quarterback giving props to a rival NFL team — and a social media outcry was born, which has picked up steam after the holiday weekend.
An unapologetic Kaepernick has already jumped in. In his Instagram account, he posted a photo of himself holding the Dolphins hat in question and mocking the brouhaha. He told fans to ... well, mind their own business:
This the hat y'all mad at? I'm goin wear what I want regardless of what you think, all you need to worry about is the fact that I grind for my teammates and the 49ers! I plan on doin this until they won't let me in the building! #ridiculous#y'allmustbebored
On Monday, the controversy was a hot topic on ESPN and sports talk radio.
"He should be loyal to the organization that pays his salary," said Colin Cowherd on his show, The Herd.
On ESPN, commentator and former QB Ron Jaworski said: "This is something you don't do as the leader of your team."
On Twitter, many fans have come to Kaepernick's defense, saying he can wear whatever he wants in the off-season.

Asthma Answers
If you feel anxious, nauseous, or short of breath while doing the following exercises, STOP. Get up and walk around. You are probably hyperventilating and need to burn off some energy. Don't try to continue your exercises immediately, but come back to them the next day.
Remind yourself often�especially if you get frustrated�that the way you breathe now is making you ill; that it's learned behavior; and that it can be changed.
Practice the exercises once or twice daily. When you are exhibiting symptoms, exercises 4 and 5 can be done more frequently.
There is one final guideline that may seem like a whole program in itself, since it can be so hard for an asthmatic to do: It is very important to breathe through your nose during all the exercises, even though asthmatics are often chronic mouth breathers. In fact, it is important to breathe through your nose most of the time. Air breathed in through the nose is filtered, warmed, and moistened, making it just right for sensitive airways. Nose breathing also promotes correct diaphragmatic action since it makes hyperventilation more difficult.
You may protest that you have to breathe through your mouth because your nose is always blocked. But did you know that a chronically blocked nose can be a result of poor breathing, instead of the other way around?
Here are a few tips to help unblock that schnozz and keep you breathing through it. After an exhalation, hold your nose and shake your head up and down for a few seconds, stopping when you need to inhale. This can be very effective, especially if you repeat it a few times.If you do Headstand in your asana practice, you may find that it helps, too. Using a mild saline solution to wash out your sinuses is also a great habit to develop. (Neti pots are designed for this purpose.)
When you're trying to breathe through your nose, don't pull the air into the nostrils; instead, open the throat. I do this by imagining my mouth is located at the hollow of my throat.
My last suggestion is an unorthodox but highly effective way to break the mouth-breathing habit. Tape your mouth closed with surgical tape! It's a bit weird, but it really works�especially at night, when you can't use other strategies.
Be very patient with your chronically stuffy nose; you will gradually feel improvement.
Exercise 1Deep Relaxation
This exercise helps you establish a calm state before doing the other exercises. Begin by lying down with a firm pillow or a folded blanket under your head. Bend your knees and rest your feet flat on the floor. If that is not comfortable, place a bolster or rolled blanket under the knees. Feel free to shift your position and stretch if you become uncomfortable. Some people like to play calming music as well. Place your hands on your belly, close your eyes, and turn your attention inward. How do you feel? Are you uneasy, uncomfortable, buzzing, or distracted? Is it difficult to lie still? Is your mind racing? The goal is to let go of all that, which is not always easy. It may take several minutes (or several sessions) to relax deeply. Give yourself time.

INDIANAPOLIS — While the State of Indiana is enjoying a surplus of funds, many of the state's working families are having a tougher time making ends meet, according to a new report issued by an anti-poverty advocacy organization.
The report, issued earlier this month by the Indiana Institute for Working Families, found that only five other states in the U.S. have seen a larger percentage increase than Indiana in the number of people who are officially "low income" since the recession began in 2007.
About one out of every three Hoosiers are now in that "low income" category, which translates into $22,980 for an individual or $47,100 for a family of four. The report also found the poverty rate increased in Indiana from 2010 to 2011 — the latest data available — meaning about one in six Hoosiers are living on less than $11,000 a year.
While some parts of the state have seen a recovery from the recession, statewide there's still plenty of pain: According to the report, poverty rates have increased for Hoosier children, with almost 46 percent of Hoosier children now living in low-income families.
The report notes that Indiana's unemployment rate has remained above the national average for much of the last year, topping off a decade that saw declining earning power: The state's median family income dropped to $57,148 in 2011 from $78,599 in 2000 — the second largest decrease in the nation, according to report authors.
"What we know generally is that Indiana families are falling behind," said Derek Thomas, a policy analyst with the institute.
Thomas said the last 10 years have been the "lost decade" for many Indiana families. "Especially the people who are just hanging on, who've been trying to get into the middle class, they've really fallen down," said Thomas.
In May, the Indiana Chamber of Commerce released a report that contained some similar numbers. It found, for example, that Indiana had the 12th lowest poverty rate in the nation in 2000, but that it dropped to the 34th lowest poverty rate by 2011.

QB Kevin Kolb has already been named the Eagles week 3 starter after missing last Sunday with a concussion. Of course in his one game absence Michael Vick threw for 284 yards and a pair of touchdowns making the status of Kolb as the Eagles starter a lot more interesting.
Kolb talked on Monday after Andy Reid confirmed he would be the week 3 starter.
"I mean, I know I didn't play very well that first half. We didn't play very well and Mike's done a great job. I'm really proud of him the way he came in and led us in that second half and then led us to the victory. That was a good team win yesterday. All I can do is deal with what's on the field, and that's me getting out there.
Kolb understands that the fans and media are talking about it, and he understands where the whole issues comes from -- Vick played well and he didn't, albeit in limited action.
SB Nation's Bleeding Green Nation has the full run down on what Kolb had to say about being the Eagles starter moving forward.

Essence of Life Jiva Lutein Healthy Eye Formula 60 Vegetarian Capsules
Essence of Life Jiva Lutein Healthy Eye Plus Capsule Formula contains all natural extracts of lutein blended with natural powerful antioxidants found in zeaxanthine, lycopene, bilberry, and Vitamin A to provide healthy eye protection from free radical damage. Found in green leafy vegetables such as spinach and kale, lutein also bounds to one or more fatty acids presents in some plants such as marigolds. In human, lutein is presented in a concentrated area of the retina which is responsible for central vision. Research has been conducted on the role of lutein, zeaxanthine, bilberry extract and Vitamin A in the prevention of Age Related Macular Degeneration. Lutein and zeaxanthine being carotenoids have a positive effect on eye health. Bilberry contains Vitamins A and C, providing antioxidant protection which can help prevent free radical damage to the eyes. Vitamin A is required for sharp vision, while Vitamin C helps form collagen and is needed for growth and repair of tissue cells and blood vessels. Bilberry also contains nutrients needed to protect eyes from eyestrain or fatigue, and can improve circulation to the eyes.
How often should I take JIVA?
You should take JIVA every day for maximum benefit. It's best to take 1 serving with 8 oz. of milk/water just prior to breakfast. If you are facing a very hectic day, try a second serving in the afternoon, also with 8 oz. of water/milk.
How long will JIVA take to work?
Most people will begin to feel energized one-half hour after intake of JIVA. At 30 days you should see significant results in your well-being.
Will JIVA work even if I don't change my diet or exercise habits?
JIVA is a potent immune support but is not a "miracle pill." If you are serious about feeling more energetic then you must include a proper diet and an increase in exercise in daily life to achieve maximum results. Common sense should prevail when you hear claims of energy products that promise results without any effort whatsoever.
Will JIVA react with my other prescription drugs?
As with any supplement, you should consult your physician if you have any concerns.
How safe is JIVA?
JIVA is formulated from all-natural ingredients. It is absolutely safe to take on a regular basis. As always, consult your physician if you have a concern.
Is JIVA safe for children?
JIVA is not a drug, so it is safe for children. For children of 6 years old and under, please consult a naturopathic physician or nutritionist for suggested serving. For children of 7-12 years old, take half a serving daily, or consult a naturopathic physician or nutritionist for suggested serving.

Southwest Miami coach Tim Neal is tired of his team being overlooked.
Eagles quarterback Dundre Pickett-White helped shed that stigma for Southwest, connecting with receiver Kristian Torano for three unanswered touchdowns in the fourth quarter to beat visiting Hialeah 30-19.
Penalties and missed opportunities plagued Southwest throughout the first three quarters, including two sequential turnovers after its defense secured two interceptions from Hialeah quarterback Alin Eduoard, a former University of Miami oral commitment.
After Pickett-White closed the third quarter throwing a touchdown to Hialeah defensive back Niko Gonzalez, he and Torano dominated the fourth quarter.
They iced the game, connecting on a 32-yard touchdown after Edouard and Hialeah running back Henry Bussey fumbled a handoff with about four minutes left in the game, down 23-19.
This is a school that is not known for winning in football, Neal said. But you know what, were working hard every year and doing what we got to do.

Rate the Truth-O-Meter
By Bill Adair
Published on Tuesday, June 10th, 2008 at 3:01 p.m.
Along with our partner Congressional Quarterly and our parent, the Poynter Institute, we are taking part in a NewsTrust "news hunt" that will feature our stories all week.
NewsTrust is a cool site that allows you to rate news coverage from PolitiFact and many other outlets. You can rate whether stories are accurate, well-written, balanced, etc. Your ratings get combined with those from other readers and create a composite rating for each story.
It's sort of like when you rate a toaster on Amazon.com ("It doesn't quite toast evenly all the time but it makes a decent piece of toast . . ."), except it's for journalism.
The first PolitiFact page that got rated on NewsTrust, our John McCain candidate page, received some nice reviews. But we're looking forward to all kinds of feedback this week. Let us know if you like our toast!
Our top-rated stories will be listed on NewsTrust's Media and Politics page. To find out how to sign up and rate stories, check out this page.

(CNN) - Former President Jimmy Carter is expected to show his support for President Obama through a tapped video address at the Democratic National Convention.
The Nobel Peace Prize winner did not speak at the 2008 convention, but was in attendance.
The DNC chairman said Carter will provide unique insight into President Obama's ability to move the country forward and why Americans need his vision and leadership for a second term.
The convention will take place in Charlotte, NC in September.

KENNEWICK, Wash. - Crews are moving things around at the Southridge Sports Complex to make room for the Carousel of Dreams.
On Monday workers used a crane to move the gazebo to a new location. The relocation is one of the first steps in the construction process for the carousel. The playground at the complex will be closed again Tuesday as crews finish up their work on the gazebo. Organizers hope to open the carousel of dreams later this year.

Morning all!
Ooh, HP discussion! Regarding the book 1-7, 2-6, & 3-5 connections, I actually thought they had been firmly established as fact. Maybe I've just read/heard so much about it that I just assumed. I haven't heard them discussed so much as foreshadowing or plot clues but rather as parallels and connections, with GoF being the hinge book, the turning point of a sort of bell curve. I thought Jo had also talked about this at one point, but I could be wrong. I know that she did at least talk about one – knowing that she wanted Hagrid to be the one to carry Harry out of the forest in DH because he'd been the one to carry him to the Dursleys in PS/SS. She has also talked about CoS/HBP being connected because there were scenes in HBP that she originally had in CoS.
I'm sure I won't begin to scratch the surface, but off the top of my (as well as I can do in the midst of work), here are some of the points I've heard mentioned:
1 & 7 – There's the Hagrid thing I just mentioned; Harry catching the snitch in his mouth/using that to open it; the deluminator, used in 1 then given to Ron in 7; going into Gringotts – there was mention of a possible dragon in 1 & we see it in 7;
2 & 6 – I think the main one is the whole Tom Riddle backstory – in 2 we learn that Tom is Voldemort, and in 6 we see more of how that came to be, plus the Horcrux connection…and I like *Deanie*'s slug connection too! ;) Ooh, and just as I was about to submit, I thought of another one – Aragog, introduced in 2 and died in 6.
3 & 5 – The Maurauders backstory is one – in 3 we get the first bit of it, and we see it fleshed out in Snape's Worst Memory; 3 is when Sirius enters Harry's life and 5 is when he exits, so to speak;
Hmm…I'm going to have to keep thinking about this throughout the day; I'm sure when I'm not trying to think of others, they'll keep popping into my mind. There're probably threads in the Lounge about it, and maybe even a Scribbulus essay. Like I said, I don't know for sure that it's been "proven" (or even could be), but as a point of literary analysis, it has definitely been extensively discussed, and I think there have been some pretty strong arguments made for it. I'd love to keep talking about it; it's a great way to sort of revisit the books, and I have MISSED our HP discussions! :D
And now for the non-HP stuff:
I haven't seen a doctor about the allergies so far. This is the first year I've had them this bad. My sisters and one of my friends have them bad every year and I never understood what they were complaining about because mine have been so mild. I know they all take either Claritin or Zyrtec every day, so I didn't think anything of starting it myself. (I went with Claritin because it specified non-drowsy while the Zyrtec didn't.) I suppose I could check in with Health Services once school starts up if the allergies haven't gone away, but for right now, it would be too expensive to go to a doctor around here. With school insurance I'm only fully covered at the on-campus clinic, and with their reduced summer hours and the hour drive to get there, it would be too much of a hassle. I'll definitely make an appointment if I start having any problems though. Thanks!
Mistic, I really hope we'll be able to get together. My only issue is that I won't have a car…is there reliable public transportation that could get me from D.C. to your area (that preferably isn't too pricey)? One evening this week, I'm going to start plotting out my schedule. I know of a couple of events that I'm signed up for because they required an advance ticket, and then there are several others that I've seen mentioned and thought I'd like to go to, but I haven't actually matched up all times. Once I've done that, we'll definitely have to chat! All of your suggestions sound great; it'll be hard to choose! :)
The deluminator was also used in 5, so that's not conclusive.
There is a real dragon in 1, 4 and 7. Plus mantion of a possible one in 1.
Of course in hindsight we can see certain connections, but I was mostly going on the speculative discussions from before the final books were published. In their proper timeframe, the discussions were totally speculative about Ron being a sacrefice so Harry could prevail, both in the chess game in 1 and somehow related to that in 7.
A lot of it was very far-fetched.
The potion challenge got a lot of speculation, too. But we only encounter poisons in the potion challenge in book 1 and Ron's ingestion in book 6. But Snape mentions them in 5 and possibly during the very first lesson in 1. The only poison I remember from 7 is Nagini's venom and the old basilisk venom, from 2, in the teeth that Ron & Hermione bring out of the Chamber in 7.
Of course 7 had to pretty much revisit elements from all the previous books in order to tie up the loose ends, all the way back to Snape and Lily at 11. ;)
At the time of the original speculations, I thought it was pure rubbish in how closely people expected the same elements to reappear in the "mirrored" books. I always considered that Jo had more imagination and creativity than that. I think was right.
The books are really one long story, so some things are consistant and keep reappearing, slightly altered. Most of the alterations seem to be of perspective. Harry at 17 would not see things the same way Harry at 11 or 13 did. Since we follow Harry, mostly, our perspective changes as he matures. ;)
Oop! gotta run for now. ;)
In terms of using the connections to predict what was going to happen in DH, I agree with you, a lot of it was reaching. Most of the discussions I know of were after the fact, analyzing parallels, and not attempting to say that the books were exact matches or duplicates of each other, but rather that when examining the series as a whole, 1/7, 2/6, & 3/5 had the most elements in common with each other. It's not 100% perfect, and yes, a lot of the points mentioned do show up in other books as well, but using the dragon example, it was specifically the Gringotts dragon, not dragons in general that was mentioned.
I'll have to see if I can find any of the discussions from people more eloquent than I am…or better yet, if I can find any of the comments from Jo about whether the book parallels were purposely done. It'll be a fun little research project to help me pass the time during my quieter moments at work. ;) All of it is just opinion, but I do think it's really interesting.
Hometime in about 40. ;)
Bbt. ;)
I'm getting ready to head out as well. Talk to you tomorrow! :)
Good Morning Everybody!!!! A Happy Wednesday to ALL!!!
Bookworm Jen, You do know that I work in Washington DC, I work in the Washington Navy Yard, right off of the 11th street Bridge!!! You must let me know where you will be staying, and don't forget the Metro's and If I knew where to go, I could pick you up myself. Phillips Seafood Restaurant is right down on M Street right beside the Navy Yard, they have an AWESOME buffett. If the things you are scheduled to do are in Washington DC, or are you saying that they are things that you will be doing down where I live?? When you have made your schedule up and know where you will be and when, we will have a better idea how to work everything in. lol
Aloha! ;)
I chipped the bonding on a front tooth this morning. So I had to find a dentist and get an appointment to get it attended to. I will be at the dentists office at 5:00 pm today. ;)
My former dentist is a good 35 to 40 miles from home on the north side of Atlanta. I grew tired of driving home numb and sleepy during rush hour, since I usually go to the dentist in the afternoon. So I haven't been in at least 3 years. (I know, naughty!)
So now I am going to try the dentist that my DS has used a couple of times. Please cross your fingers that it is not too horrid. ;)
I just finised luch, so I had better try to get something done since I will be leaving early today. Not much early, about 45 minutes. ;)
Deanie, you have my sympathies, and a similar story for you…… I had my 6 month dental check yesterday, and I needed a filling. (I was very brave, lol!) Today. I LOST a filling, so I'll be going back for an urgent appointment asap. Life is not fair! The only things that scares me more than the dentist are spiders.
I hope all goes smoothly for your appointment!
Aloha! ;)
The verdict is crowns for both upper front teeth. The bonding is failing on both of them, one just gave way first. I go in for the first part on Tuesday afternoon. ;)
I wish I could just wave a wand and have them fixed like Hermione in GoF. ;)
I really don't mind the procedure so much, but I hate having to use my sick leave for it. And the expense. Even with dental insurance and a secondary, my out of pocket expense will be pretty hefty.
Dental insurance has not changed in at least 20 years. Most of them have a maximum benefit of $1,000 to $1,200, but the cost of each procedure has more than doubled. And the prmiums have gone up. ;)
Off to check in elsewhere. ;)
Geez! I really can't type.
prmiums = premiums
And that max benefit is per plan year. ;)
Morning all!
I was off yesterday, so I didn't get online much. Now I'm back at work, but it's actually looking like it's going to be a somewhat busy day. I'm kind of happy – it's been a while since I've had a hectic day here, so I'm glad it means today should go by quickly.
I'll pop in if I need a break later though! :)
Good Morning Everybody!!!! A Happy Thursday to ALL!!! Today is going to be a nice day here weatherwise, 83 degrees, and the Sun is shinning brightly!!! lol Bookworm Jen are you saying that you will be staying in Washington DC?? I know that they have buses that go down my way, and If I knew where you were staying, I could probably pick you up myself. I am glad that this is Thursday, and I would be even Happier if it was Friday!!! lol
Hi Mistic! Sorry – when I posted this morning, I hadn't yet read the posts from yesterday. Yes, I am staying in D.C.; I'm going to send you an owl right now to give you more detail. :)
Deanie and Asti, sorry to hear about your dental dilemmas!
I agree that there should be an "All of the Above" option! I can't choooose! :D So very excited!
Hometime in 30. ;)
I need to move some money from checking to savings. It looks like we will pick p my new car on Saturday and i will need the down payment then. ;)
Off to try to get organized. ;)
Aloha! ;)
Another day. ;)
I can't find my car title, so I will have to go get a copy today. ;)
This is not a fun car buying experience. I suppose it is because I do not have new car fever. This is a practical decision, not one of the heart. My current car is seven years old and has over 113,000 miles on it. It is beginning to cost a lot more to maintain and it is losing trade-in value, it has to go. ;)
I also cannot find my reminder card for my dental appointment on Tuesday and I have not yet turned in a leave request for it. I had better get on the phone and find out. ;)
Ttfn! ;)
Morning all!
Another busy day here, but I'll try to pop in whenever I need a short break. :)
Good luck with the car buying, Deanie! I could really use a new one, but I'm hoping mine will hang on until I finish school. I'd hate to have to start dealing with a car payment now.
After almost six weeks solid of chilly, dreary weather over here, I am beginning to wonder when the wizards will shoo the dementors away. I should not have to consider turning on the heat this close to the solstice.
Deanie, what type of vehicle are you looking for? Do you intend to buy new or used? Good luck at the dentist.
Jen to further the parallel book discussion, Harry's first time traveling into someone else's memory was in book 2. Then using the Pensive was a major plot element in the sixth book.
Another detail I noticed was the accuracy of Trelawny's predictions. In HBP, she is reading the tarrot cards as Harry is on his way to visit Dumbledore for the first "lesson." The cards she draws mean "conflict," "an ill omen," and "a dark young man, possibly troubled, one who dislikes the questioner." It makes no sense to Trelawny, but that is exactly what you seen when Ogden visits the Gaunts in the Pensieve.
Asti, can you tell me why England, Wales, and Scottland each has their own national soccer team? In the Olympics and any other international competition I know of, they all play under the UK flag. Why is soccer different?
I am happy the US tied Slovenia and rather unhappy at all of the yellow-carding that happened in the Germany-Serbia match. I do believe the result would have been different if Germany wasn't short-handed by half-fime. Grrr.
And here's hoping that Algeria will trounce England in another 10 minutes (sorry, Asti).
Hermine, We are buying a new Dodge grand Caravan Hero. This will be my third Caravan. The first two were Sport models, but they don't make that any more. The Hero has almost all the same amenities of my Sport and a few it didn't have.
We need the cargo room for greyhounds. The DS has a little bitty Kia, so any trips with the houd has to be accomplished in my vehicle.
With my bad knees (better than before the operations, but still not 100%), getting into and especially out of his little car is painful at best, excruciating at worst. And sometimes almost impossible.
We are getting it in Titanium Gray. That's the dark gray with light gray interior. We will go get it tomorrow afternoon. So I have to spend this evening making sure all of the little storage spaces are empty. And puting all the headrests on all four rear seats. I take them off so they don't block my view. ;)
The loan hs been approved and next week I will be able to get the title to them. I could not get it today because the DS in co-owner and it requires his signature. Also because, even though it was paid off in June of 2008, the lender never told the government that the lein had been satisfied. ;)
Off to sort out a minor problem that hit my desk today. ;)
I just want to go, I don't care what I do most, I just want to be there so I can do it!
Deanie I figured you needed a "dog mobile." Be glad that you already know what you are getting and don't have to search for an acceptable vehicle. Happy vehicle collection.
England and Algeria drew, so my head is spinning trying to figure out who has to win (instead of draw) in order for the US to advance to the second round. It will all be decided next Wednesday.
On the local front, Ghana will probably beat Australia, and then Germany must win against Ghana in order to advance. So the Germans will be in limbo until next Wednesday, too.
Morning all!
Hermine, I agree with you about the accuracy of Trelawney's predictions – I've always thought there tend to be a lot of elements of truth to what she "sees". I think she tends to just interpret them incorrectly because she doesn't understand them, and she also tries to make them sound more "exciting" by embellishing them. :)
I've just finished up some work I had to do and now I'm going to be heading over to my sister's to babysit. It's supposed to be one of our hottest days so far, so I'm trying to find something to do that would hopefully be near water where it's cooler.
Talk to you later! :)
Good evening!
I've had a very busy day at work. Saturdays are hard.
Hermine, wasn't it awful! England were fortunate to get a draw. I believe if the US and England both win their games on Wednesday, both will go through safely. That's a BIG "if" as far as England are concerned, after last night. My DS said a lot of very very rude words! And to (try) and answer your question about separate teams/UK team, I'm afraid I don't really know. They play as individual countries in rugby too, but I can't think of any other sport. I think it's separate for the Commonweath Games (athletics,) but most sports seem to be under the UK flag and name. You've made me curious, When I find out, I'll let you know!
Waving Hi!! to everyone! It's nice to see a bit more activity here! xx
I was able to attend the park on a "soft" opening day on June 14. Everything was up and running so I think I got a good feel for the place. Absolutely incredible for the Potter fan!!!!! 5 stars for everything. I have only one concern. The park is going to be way too small for the hordes of fans attending. For instance, the Owl Post office can only fit about 20 adults in it.
But the authenticitly is out of this world!!! You won't believe the castle!!! Frankly, the best part of the Forbidden ride is the winding your way through the castle and viewing all the rooms and scenes from the movie. Very authentic. The moving pictures are great.
As for the ride itself. Great! Super graphics! I wouldn't call it terrifying at all. But if you have a tendancy to get car sick, watch out. Lots and lots of movement.
The other two roller coasters are the same as had been at the park before. Great rides though.
Hogsmeade is incredible. The stores are super with great stuff.
Food is typical theme park food. Nothing really Harry Potter related except for the butter beer. Frankly, all the butter beer is our usual creme soda with a special butter flavored "head" added to the cup. I didn't get to try pumpkin juice.
Filch's Emporium is the best store there (located at the exit of the Forbidden Journey ride). It has stuff that is not available anywhere else.
Again, when you go, be prepared to be EXTREMELY crowded. The park desparately needs to be enlarged.
Morning all!
Thanks for the report, shire123!
I don't think we have any fathers posting here anymore, but just in case – Happy Father's Day! And to anyone else celebrating with their dads, hope you have a great day!
Asti, I know you have an equivalent for Mother's Day in the UK…do you have one for Father's Day as well?
I'm going to go over to my grandparents' house later this afternoon. My dad is working, but I'll probably go by there in the evening to bring him supper. Talk to you all later!
shire123, thankyou for posting about it. I'm not very good with rides and rollercoasters, but I'd love to wander around the shops and the castle.
Jen, yes, today is Father's Day. I was less than impressed that my husband and son had a golf competition today! But I had a good chat with my Daddy earlier. Have fun with yours!

Furniture Makeover: Hair and Makeup Station!
The old beat up desk and the stool before.
The old beat up chair and the mirror before.
The desk and the chair belonged to my mother in law. She didn't want them anymore and she asked me if I wanted them (knowing that I like to upcycle things!). Do I want it?! Gimme! I knew what I wanted to do with them right away - hand me the white paint! I have a thing for white furniture with dark hardware. Behold the makeover...
I love my new hair and makeup station! Even if I don't use it daily, I still enjoy having it there just looking purdy. See that little mirror on the desk? That used to have a gold finish, but I painted it aqua. The little plastic drawers on top of the stool used to have grey knobs, but I painted those as well. Perhaps I should have taken a picture of the stool so you could see it better. It has white legs with a dark walnut seat. Look inside one of the drawers!
The drawers were unfinished inside. I painted them white and covered the bottoms with shelf liners. Wanna see the fabric I used for the chair?
Swoon! (it's from Hobby Lobby)
That's it! I hope you enjoyed this furniture makeover! Let me know if you still want to see more - there is one more cool makeover that I could brag about! :)
Today's duck photo goes out to Christina! What's wrong with this seemingly sweet picture though?
Oh no! Curly is having an Alien moment!

What a lovely surprise to find a sweet duck photo in my inbox. Ha, it looks like another duck is emerging from his chest!ReplyDelete
The furniture makeover is beautiful. I love the crisp white and teal. Keep them coming, I could use the inspiration. :)Replies
I didn't realize there was a duck emerging from Curly's chest when I took the picture, it was only after I transferred it to the computers that I noticed! These ducks are funny even when they're not even trying! :DDelete
You got it then. I will share one more colorful furniture makeover soon. This one will be white and bright sunny yellow!
What a great make over for that dresser & chair! It really went from drab to pretty.ReplyDeleteReplies
Just a little paint can make such a difference! I think I like upcycled furniture more than perfect store bought stuff these days.Delete
Nice job. I love white painted furniture but I can never bring myself to paint wooden furniture. I always feel compelled to refinish it with stain or varnish. Why? Why can't I just paint it white like a normal person?ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks! You are a normal person that happens to be on Team Stain! When I was researching what the laziest way to paint over a stained finish would be, I found that there are two teams - Team Stain and Team Paint. I think I would also be on Team Stain if I had to redo a solid wood piece. All our furniture is junky faux wood stuff though! :DDelete
Wow! I envy your skills. Very nice :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks! But I must say that this project didn't require any advanced skills at all! Changing the chair seat was a bit tricky, but the actual paint job was very easy for a clumsy beginner like me :)Delete
You are so talented! I wish I had that eye, to see one thing and transform it. I have a couple old pieces of furniture I would love to make over, I just have no idea where to go with them.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you! If inspiration is what you seek, check out the "Better After" blog for loads of furniture (and full room!) makeovers. It's truly fascinating!Delete
Thanks for your nice post. I appreciate to you for publishing this type of post. I hope this types of post will be published again.ReplyDelete

'The Murder of the Century' Marks the Start of the Tabloid Wars
The Murder of the Century isn't just about murder -- it also reminds us that the craziness associated with today's media (social and otherwise) isn't really new. The craziness stays the same—only the mediums change.
