Transcript - will not be 100% accurate
I was right. I think we made lucid and all of my feel a little hope this is really deprived. Among a little Tennessee yet. But here's my -- -- -- the bad -- come if you agree with the schedule I spent my. 56 hours in front of the TV last night glued riveted. As I I end up. I didn't wanna I got a rhythm with a devious and two TVs go back and forth -- work that would. From -- kitchen to my office back and forth it'll TV and -- it's easy it's not that Libya campaign and anyway media and and it was so much -- with the draft that you could do that if you -- definitely accurate anyway. And it was a ritual we have on the computer -- -- held on the goal fashion and watch my TV to -- -- -- you know old school that is it's always been this is. A bizarre tactic but -- if you agree. We watched and any jail. Overtime playoff game between two original sixties you were that two original six teams. Perhaps the best rivalry in the sport. In perhaps the best venue in the sport. In the 22. Pick in the draft. Which was made by the Cleveland Browns was somehow. More exciting more intense that that that puck and -- Call me crazy that's I enjoyed the ball -- very suspenseful. But when the pressure built the moment approached for -- mentally get picked. I don't remember rate draft moment quite as crazy quite as intense or there were a couple of ten minutes spots where. Could you I was for the back with spastic could be could help every time as it was in the bruins' game at the last go back. When the cowboys were -- That was unbelievable -- -- the Bruins game and sat in front of my TV watching Ed werder from. Whenever it's called cowboy program Jonestown right. It's there mean is this really going to happen right and in a weird way I was kind of glad it didn't -- Policy you know almost imply yes yeah the other the other was jets and the that it used an usher. But I thought there's got to be a possibility. Men's Dale's going to be picture by the jets. And there's La plaza to -- about how they are making album and album sales and overkill. Why are we supposed to do last curious -- had only stories and I'm telling -- I don't know -- a good -- bad -- but he is what it's all on how mean he is you can't take your eyes off. As somebody once said the police would it doesn't matter what movie -- scene right eyes are drawn to him in a could be with the champ -- in anger could be Josie Wales. In recent scene with ten other people your eyes are drawn to one guy. When he swept right man Zell is one of those athletes. Whom your eyes are drawn charisma when he has. I call it it's Wednesday. Wendy when he ever came out of the green room. There was him in the and these are subject themselves this knowing they might -- that the trio is he knew we might. And he knew the cameraman and a -- camp on on the all time at but he can well. As much an -- program in the -- team goes. It would he ever gave them money signed the crowd gave that they. Because when you do this money is among things -- -- players. And that was perfect -- he give the money side and then he said this was all part of God's plan right well homeless guy told. God is watching them. And John -- though is Cleveland. Start from day one important. -- cells from the start he's going to be decent he's gonna beat amount increase is easily storied NFL and they obviously they had to. Toothpicks that it to make to Cleveland had a great day definitely did. -- -- Com because they not only they get the two picks in the corner and the quarterback but the first round pick from next year. And I've ever seen a team that doesn't have the first pick in the draft energize the fan base when they ever showed that scene from Cleveland. And that the what's it was like watching the scene from you know this place a year when you know the Red Sox were -- the -- Talk show hosts literally talk shows jumping out of their chairs right during live broadcasts yes. How close does -- those are actual local auction them children. Jumping out of their chairs because their team draft that. That's -- so sausage. The Philadelphia Eagles have traded the 22 pick to Cleveland Browns. With that when he second pick in the 2014. NFL draft the Cleveland Browns select -- men now. Quarterback next thing now. -- wrote the city erupts right. Right now -- a heart that the voice of the city's got rob. Are crazy -- from Cleveland put I was can be I don't. Think I didn't sense of what you Kirk that is since there was a similar reaction in New England to the year their ticket won in your big easily brought the summary of personal seem accurate -- help. I was I was I was up I'd just as a -- you know again you just won a seat but Belichick does. You and Dino who and you bolts and you'd trade though you're wrong you're -- trade up items that -- -- -- -- also -- equals around. There is nobody in the world who said that I will. We're putting our guys -- guys. What team with a team of like eight intern right. On you are in -- talking about what they're gonna do this weekend and sudden there's not a single mock draft that had Dominique -- -- -- the first stroke like as I have like 60 you already given up the search -- like I -- sausage before the show find intra marked draft that includes the third second third and fourth rounds. It was exist right sure. We'll have that by -- I'm weeks a month across so yeah August -- much time hours and watched her -- -- out of a public on the -- looking ahead if you take. If you to me if you think you want to dial -- folks are right in particular undersized defensive tackle who's on his -- twice. Protect I think what you're of them believe hosts a one that you do some some of them without his with the patriots to 1115. Is that time was that it was about eleven. 151120 he has predicted. Here yesterday 1120 they've made their panic right. The the place was still buzzing -- well. It was the story this Rendell sent men and Zell sent me a jolt electricity through radio city music call. All night. That's true he was the whatever it was it Albert if she called Ortiz the masters of the universe is the entire epicenter. They -- portals third anchor report. And salary. When when -- -- Cleveland past Arizona to Dallas Dallas past them when the jets past. -- -- -- -- -- -- We don't formally announces no hard feelings now extremely happy for. For the guy. Had no no control room that so. With all that being said I'm doing my situation worked out really well have a chip on my shoulder absolutely. We have not thought of like go too much time for anybody out there. When somewhere other than they thought they -- mobile chip on the shoulder so Tom Huntley didn't come to the process. You think you said yesterday it means -- goes to Cleveland it's over feel that way it they did a nice job of supporting him providing some support. Because. You know on the moves the enemy. Was exact move and met with the corner eighth overall but that made the deal with. Buffalo right buffalo moved up buffalo moved from eight to four to walk -- took Sammy Watkins and Cleveland dropped down to eight right. -- -- in order rounder for 2000 -- and they have a first round pick from buffalo which is a damn good pick should be. If you were in buffalo you're pretty psyched up to -- Sammy Watkins but. You happy -- no first round pick next you're not like a player away. From. Super Bowl you don't mean you're still rebuilding. And you have no first round pick next right now they might end up adding it's somehow someway or maybe Stevie Johnson. Who gets into the -- Stevie Johnson. And add some picks. But if you're buffalo you don't and I'm happy -- plan here but. We know first round pick next -- Cleveland has a quarterback the most exciting quarterback. Ever in the history of the world in the history of the sport and the cornerback. Which is vital. And they first really big next to you went to tour record acts now assuming this works out I mean they have a majority to add another guy yet through skilled offensive players. The receiver Cameron this it's gonna be got mental activities star a set yesterday stand by. Men's gonna be great quarterback in league east is a weekly I remotely believe I am kind. Here's the way I look at it I'm open he has I'm hope it be great for the sport to be a blast to watch. Give me -- his historically. At that pick when he two in the first round Cleveland has taken quarterbacks in the past most recently. Brandon Wheaton. Brady Quinn and Brady Quinn right. Who disasters both shall live -- only he can appoint either rooms -- yeah no it has no but that the end is up an area. The question vessels bought that is this a new -- now Scott rubble they'll know the owners. And whatever. Talks that -- a -- Groups is troubling which is -- life but anyway it works for the story large oval. -- -- -- -- -- almost got told the pick. Well first or sell I'll probably made union made that story. I I think somebody that has the story at some assemblyman -- -- that has on the owners and almost -- -- picture on humans -- Pictures to joining and so with the fourth pick. You'd be like that just sounds like an overreaction that sounds like a team trying to sell tickets. But the fact that they made a deal at a corner and having the first round pick doesn't sound like. There is at least some foundation for -- in a good football. Right rebuilding here good right sound football thinking. On the part of farmers and Patton. The coast Arabia's today the yes there's some between -- and if you don't like the coach who is waiting here to answer will be gone and you don't like -- coordinator -- Oregon. I say I disagree with it was a Curtis -- somebody says this morning you look. -- -- -- He looked pretty happy college scene he wanted to hear his name no matter where he was -- he wanted on -- first round here. Here's the here's the -- -- the -- -- that's all and he just give a little recap from under the main hosted that it -- your show at 29 is defined role patriots picked when he night they did not traded up -- in between. A trade out they made their first round pick which I think most people didn't think they were going to do. Now we've seen some other people now we -- nobody picked. This mock selection correctly it's not true we'll get to that the second. But they decide to go the defensive lineman Dominique -- the 29 pick who receipt. Played a Florida productive when healthy they -- is -- top ten top fifteen player in the draft. As porn both of his east -- -- secretly three games last year without September 2013. Practice Nicholas right. And missed the rest of that season so we take an injury risk and undersized guy. And a guy who. During the interview the Columbine said he doesn't watch football which recent concerns over love for the game. Well Chris garments at that story is Chris Berman as we know and -- muffin back right decent Belichick asked him you loved football when he's -- guess he said that's my guy on. -- Cutler said. Eight reach. Pattern going in the second or third round. Ray Lewis said. Well who. By the TO five. Ray Lewis said he gives a good effort that's good you want to. I watched a lot last -- zone between periods after the game. Whose idea was -- -- -- -- -- with Mel carper and a mystery grew juries is -- -- -- I -- -- good things could play in these black. All of that you know that there's other guys -- that I have made me feel a bit of a black there that's in two. Ray Lewis was agree Wheeler that's I mean that's it there's a its but it I I sort of feel bad for him because. I know I do much more. Homework and research that he does you do you know sausage to assess disclosed in the politics also from better Ray Lewis last absolutely but. Are you really. Put him in this position to succeed now you're now culprit is the ultimate walkie lives in this way I think is an -- group. I -- -- and studies on the the reason that -- and that does his homework I'm very impressive gruden he doesn't always when he does the -- those games. In his case he does he knows quarterbacks he knows these first round is Ray Lewis has no clue about anything -- about anyone and of course you know the usual suspects Richard DH in these. These critic guys say he's really doing a good job. Because that's what they wanna believe -- awful and why should not allow Obama brought a good question what even randomly not allowed on there. All he can't US side things where it was -- -- via an Ali who don't like Bristol every time it makes no sense that means that tightly he could tell you all about. Dominique Easley there's I would do -- and -- from -- never do it would remove that right side Berman and lows. Replace him with whoever keep the left side that's fine paper group must tell. Paper griddle like which is also right illegal yes but they both do their homework absolutely and they tell you things about every pick. -- reaction is always important in any hears the name -- easily. Your second or third round at best. I got here's where I brought one minute do we have a we have their reaction -- have the reaction of the ESP and crew. Let's get that full reaction here's the pick at 1115 last night most people. You know missed that watch the Bruins game at warrior went have been happy you can do is quicken up his what happened and Olympic team in the when Goodell took the podium. The New England Patriots -- and Dominique -- Defense event. -- Oh yeah. Really get inside when you know this kid. The ball it's great style. He just had some injuries well a big injury done to get better. Yeah I'll probably practice leading up to the 2011. Point eight million -- they could look at the three game that he played everything. Five tackle the backlog for. The ability to play the number wave hit that one and -- the reporter wondered -- stronger. You always -- Ability of the reason why -- body be. Round pick and that's not a first round pick home Roland nice -- by Bill Belichick and they did. That the system we would I want this creative person later this moment on you. -- -- Never let anyone tell you how -- Neither understand this in this league I promise you you're trying to be. Vehicle plus effort we'll keep you around what we'll -- -- -- -- -- -- Months of -- man and -- the -- Watson. -- look he's got. It's tough to get an -- Rayburn from the yeah yeah no objective is -- -- lineup. He'll love football. If the answer is -- their resounding yes. Okay well you're on this file over here you know you feel like football and you're on that pile there you know they're not alone. That event so that's question number 12 and three -- San Francisco Denver Seattle and you like. Berman and Berman and -- gibberish -- is there. I should say that. Like or dislike ever had always. You your -- -- the soft spot for. Yeah it's a nation that that's your analysis. A piper was good it was good -- was very good in riddles everybody but I was good he does not like this pick pissed away is what it feels like a lot of kids watching that Lewis was talking to less than 1130 this trial -- yeah. And I brought -- -- -- are better off trying hard figures better not to give just a gimmick when you have nothing to say say yeah he loves the game he tries hard against Altamont he has no way to get his alma. You know Lewis is good I'll be fair we can blast was holding looses good on -- -- -- is pretty clear Mac actually thought. He said a couple of things open -- note that was it other than that. Completely it's easy to know the first 45 guys all right anybody you can in sausage about the for -- first four or five guys right to say that the breakdown and analyzed again that nobody had in the first round find anybody yet. Let's go to Chicago hill nick underhill from math like Jerry sports Jerry Ford nails calls is perfect patriot -- office. Whom the patriots will draft even get sick dramatically correct these pro. Dominique Easley Jerusalem from bar stool. Nails that god bless them but. He looks like it sounds like one of those -- if so that some on the patriots would get in the second or third right they don't do you know the first. A Florida guy with issues. And -- that they're not Aaron Hernandez issues -- injury issues. But don't you think a lot of teams -- ago with two torn AC -- NC. We cannot take that kind of chance the first round -- yes. All all we have what we -- the -- take we thought we take a short guy could step in right away and help them. The suspect. Was. Not when it's certainly doesn't sound that -- a six he's not that tall 61 and whatever. Not that big two dollars undersized. So what is he's not an edge -- he's an interior Russia right. Interior rusher. With -- to the injuries to blown knees who doesn't watch football. You know coach in you know Burman thinks he went in the title for guys that love football yeah. And you know maybe. You know maybe bill that obviously Belichick while the -- -- Belichick sees something in him but. If they didn't pick and the patriots and taken years ago. Second or third round and obviously not -- and we've heard although Belichick resolutely talked after the jets he said he was ward -- teams after him. Taking him in the first round I think and it was -- presume them and Seattle or services cease trading. For for -- you do need an undersized guy with two a risk in the first -- can never take risks in the first. Chris first round pick for Belichick. A risky first Olympic. And normal credit cards are now analysts say at the time but it's a Florida guy and a guy that nobody else would -- on their in the when I'm on the board he does that. You know right -- yes you anyone thing -- Jackson was gonna go in the second round W eagle of the W ago well as current wrote today second round pick is usually were Belichick gets -- -- you would say. -- -- This is yeah Lucy -- in the second round -- Blue -- sort of look at thumbs down from ESPN breaks down everybody in this is Mike Reese. Is -- breaks down every pick and every by every team gives -- thumbs up and I'm Mike Reese he has Belichick and the patriots thumbs down. On Dominic he plans yet I my guess is on the Mike as well as human guesses on moment on an up it was a -- Today. And I would guess that he he did precisely as you can disagree thumbs up. Dreamlike state wouldn't be against the patriots threes that you did that that a good point I guess that's as. I says a top fifteen talent who could be difference maker. That comes with a risk. Almost people who think that the Dennis Seidenberg from the Berkeley announced Saturday night tomorrow night. They probably love risk that they can -- but I'd I think in DC a I think to these seals. Is a little scary and honestly 32 teams. I have no doubt that some don't have more on the board at all because of Lebanese. One different on the first couple rounds of the patriots haven't taken that spot and I don't understand it I don't get. Well we can tell you would -- life. Wonderful and thought this was -- suspect we can do that we could give him a cut this whole breakdown. Of hope Dominique Easley and what he thinks of my wife but he was a third rounder. He's on a couple of awards for tenacity. According entered the forty captain great leader. Was there an industry. -- Brandon Spikes in agreement it in the Florida player work -- for the patriots -- four players were. That's great beatings or writes with a straight -- to make -- Janet Jackson spikes. Is -- has -- county in the four point 144. It's not worked notes. The best Florida picked by the patriots so far is a guy who was police for the recently did you. Knowing that you don't don't shy away in Indochina but we as you visit a Florida guy I don't shy away but there is that is a part of a pile in the part of the factor is that something you look at. -- right yeah I mean does this is still feel like a pipe I mean is. It jumped -- Do pipelines. On those good things or maybe do you think you get. Get too familiar. To step four miles on its eggs is that a Nazi. Myers. Higher -- I've fallen in love guys. Well I think he gets reduced yeah. I think -- -- depicts I'm stunned you always wonder guy in the first round. They must've had no chance trio right nobody wanted it was trying but you always wonder winner -- ago they didn't take them and according to milk -- -- he wouldn't have been in the first round. -- -- -- -- -- -- You know he's walking around -- their last. It was it was weird to watch they ought to -- if you're a draft if you're Derek when you let cameras in your house. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- In the beginning that their drink in their own in party and eat drink and by the images in the ago please go let someone take and they didn't do the cameras to that just -- and and the comeback today as against W we're in the -- are older than they did the invite all the same people want -- house -- -- again do it again and and food. We got to get through it looses analysis of their close sharp the thought Arizona should take them here why yes I guess there on the West Coast right. The on the -- she got to take your quarterback. What's wrong that if you play the West Coast should never quarterback. It -- They go to Cutler the go to group and they break -- -- and they would loved America all of them straight decision making quick feet. And -- -- Hillary Lucy as well on the West Coast they get a -- quarterback. Ray Lewis is big on the you know this is football. As a winner. Plays hard -- -- -- he doesn't know anything about any of it should just by accident -- stuff. No I mean not he's he's you know like watching -- -- -- books and I was thinking halfway through my -- many espionage is a group watching. That's a good point I was taken halfway -- had everything he set up that I was comfortable figure. That and I'm watching Ray Lewis when Mike Mayo doctors on the the channel but like so at least for a day. They -- to -- like Election Day even in tomorrow's lead to a Verizon. It's a way to watch that's no it's not one was busy at the Bruins -- one TB the draft on the other they would get to the do you agree with me. Yes yet that somehow someway the -- man sells weight. Was more exciting more intense or as exciting as intense as the Bruins game which. I thought was strange I think beyond that and it was an overtime game and I generally find these the most riveting thing in sports in overtime. One or or one goal. Right left in the NHL the most exciting thing in the world except for maybe -- final four game. Most exciting thing -- sports in an option that go on this is not that. Eventful I told you that was regular season -- by. His -- I wasn't that. Was that weren't there were a couple of great couple of great shots to rest just had a full facts that Russia right you think he's that I had used it. Dockery was good enough that he didn't he wasn't spectacular -- I'll ask -- this play -- Rick. I know what it was gonna say that Nancy Soderbergh because he was in April that the puck and use active -- it would have been my first. The the first second step. Two -- to go rescue you number wants to agree or disagree at a price was better. A totally disagree Doug Jones and like to get that at some point to Doug Jones and billboards but problems. Keith Jones that he was Doug Jones. Renders -- -- like when the original Beatles or Rolling Stones on them in action but that's right he -- with the tigers. Doug Jones. -- Jones and Milbury witches. And all of them let the bruised and show up. So what's different game but the thoughtless. They dominated they did not and to -- -- this was dead even yeah Ecstasy 5545. Maybe I don't think you know I thought this this was another game is the myth buster game you give me. Another myth buster game and we thought the Canadians couldn't play even with the Bruins for sixty minutes the -- They did a bad loss kid and it's a bad loss for the Canadians real about it in on the it's a three game series and the -- your they'll have to win a month ago because that's from -- that his -- just. In their third start last third star Matt ranger who. Was a tangent again after game article thirty times yeah I knew he'd be involved aberration that market. And that the Bruins no longer have to win in Montreal. Take care of business here and they go along and -- have -- appointment Hamilton and the ball very well he has definitely grownups seem group. I was I was better than China. They'll both sides of charm that one nice play last dueled across. Office -- branded -- -- thank you watch the game Chara played great. Now or the same assumed I was face not his highlight was the controller two appearances in the route to gonna win this consumer is going to be ago. -- think that there was it's the soup and was somehow gonna screw up it felt like that kind of game. Nor -- at a dumpster at the -- use the bigger surprise. Easley were for. One and you do blogs the second hour you're at the -- On third and you -- in the third 6177797937. Your phone call we'll talk about the draft but the Bruins win last night we've got to go on. Scott -- from mr. Cleveland was happy. He's not happy that he -- -- Cleveland fan -- gave -- -- felt since LeBron was there there'd be just like him Cleveland's hope there's life there's hope. And when you. Add that I was in the men's OPEC's success when you pick them. Fact that they traded down cut corners got a personal panic means somebody's thinking in the right and not just. The feeling it's not just emotions in disguise possible so -- -- the degree. Is meant no I think he's going to be great to be better than Brandon Sweden but -- is good news -- -- his -- you know. Easily -- have -- ban the patriots drafted stinker -- calls the more we get back.

While we really like the layout of the material used it is much "darker" overall than the picture shows it to be. That was a surprise but not a good one. Usually the photos give excellent representation of the item. We are getting used to how it looks and like it but we do not love it. Not sure I would recommend this without warning about the coloration.
Love them! They look great in my kitchen, dinning room and great room. The only way it would have been better,is if I would have purchased them with free shipping.
I LOVE these valances. Fine quality, great price. Just love the seaside / lighthouse panorama.
Very good quality in the material. Excellent workmanship in the sewing of them and I am very pleased.
My Bar Harbor tapestry valences are very nice. They are a good match with my grass pattern textured wallpaper in the guest bedroom. The fabric is a real tapestry weight, (heavier and nicer than I expected) and they have a nice rope trim. My only caution to shoppers is that the overall color is darker than I expected from looking at the picture online. I thought they would be somewhat brighter.

We all need to pay our fair share for services
Fri, Jun 16th, 2006
Posted in Commentary
Posted in Commentary
I am writing in response to Rushford Village Clerk, Judy Graham�s letter in the Tri-County Record last week and to articles in the Fillmore County Journal regarding the tri-city (City and Village of Rushford and Peterson) meetings.
Judy gives a lot of figures in her letter showing how much more money the City of Rushford receives from the State compared to the Village of Rushford. The City of Rushford receives that money from the State to help pay for services it provides to the residents of the City; it does not receive that money to help pay for services to the Village. It also does not receive money for services it does not provide. The City receives more because it provides more services to its citizens than the Village does. Does this money we receive from the State begin to pay for the City budget�not hardly. The truth is that the citizens of the City of Rushford pay for many services that are enjoyed by the total surrounding area. I would also like to give a figure of my own. At the time the new school was being debated a few years ago, I compared the taxes for our house in the City to a friend�s in the Village. The market values were similar (hers actually about $3000 more). Yet our taxes were approximately $700 more than her house in the Village. Since I assume we pay the same rate for the county and the school, the difference is the rate of the City taxes versus the Village taxes. I have heard various arguments why the Village residents should not have to pay more�that Village residents support the City businesses, that farmers are too poor to pay more in taxes, etc. As a family, just to name a few, in the City we have patronized McGeorge�s, the hardware store, Dahl�s Auto, Dennis Overland Insurance, Dr. Nelson Dental, Darr Auctions �all businesses whose owners live in the Village. We have also had electrical work by Kopperud�s, oil changes at Curt�s Place, and have bought building materials at Norstad�s Lumber�businesses in the Village. So I believe the City and Village support each other. Also in the City, we have many residents on fixed incomes or young families who struggle to pay their bills just like the farmers do. Mr. Sexauer�you want to have your new development in the Village hook up to the City sewer and water at the same rate a person from the City would pay. How is that fair to the taxpayers of the City who have already spent many tax dollars to build our water and sewer system? You want to make a deal with the city by allowing us to annex 25 acres of your land. Just how soon do you anticipate you will be building on those acres so that the houses can be added to the tax rolls of the city? Moreover, why would anyone want to build on one of the lots in the City knowing that their taxes every year will be $800-$900 more than one just a few yards away. If it is such a good deal, why won�t you allow the rest of your lots to be annexed to the City? What happens when another developer wants to build to the west of the City or more in South or North Rushford? Do we have to allow that too? How is that going to burden our sewer system? The City is looking at over $1.5 million in upgrades/repairs to the sewer system in the next few years. How much more is it going to cost every time another developer wants to add on to it? Our first responsibility is to developers who have land for development in the City and the taxpayers of the City. As a taxpayer, I no longer have children in school, do not have anyone involved in recreational programs, and I buy my own books to read but, as a community, I know these services, along with police, fire/ambulance, etc., are very important to a community. I also don�t want to deny any kids the opportunity to swim, play ball, use the library just because they live outside the city and we have to begin charging large user fees to make it fair. I don�t mind paying my share of taxes for these services, but I don�t believe I should have to pay for other people�s share. Possible solutions? Perhaps it is time to treat some of the services (i.e. police, recreational, library, etc.) that are used by all in the surrounding areas like we treat the school and fire/ambulance services�tax these services at a mill rate and having representatives from all entities involved in the decision-making process. Perhaps an even bolder idea would be to undo the mistake our founding fathers did long ago when they created the Village that surrounds a land-locked City and become one entity. Perhaps the rural areas (farmers) of the Village would be better served by becoming part of a township. There are many possible solutions in handling individual services, and they can be debated. In the very least, the City should require anyone hooking up to City sewer and water be annexed to the City. Beverly Colbenson lives in Rushford.

Salmon Days Festival is 'Streaming Live'
January 29, 2013
Salmon Days Festival organizers adore puns. For the next festival theme, expect a blend of homespun and high-tech.
The theme for the October celebration is "Streaming Live" — a nod to instantaneous communication and salmon habitat.
"Even after 44 years, our Salmon Days Festival promises to be more current than ever," Robin Kelley, lead Salmon Days organizer, said in unveiling the theme Jan. 24. "Innovation and interpretation, pixilation and Pinterest, in the cloud, going viral, browsing and blogs. This year's theme is today and looking to the future."
Time runs out for end-of-year donations to nonprofit organizations
December 31, 2012
NEW — 2 p.m. Dec. 31, 2012
The need is up nonprofit organizations, but as donors start to make out checks for year-end donations, local organizations sometimes struggle to stand out in a field crowded with requests for giving.
In King County, end-of-year charitable giving to nonprofit organizations is on the to-do list for many donors. The average person makes 24 percent of annual donations between Thanksgiving and New Year's Eve, according to research from the Center on Philanthropy.
Issaquah and the Puget Sound region maintain a long-held reputation for generosity to charitable causes. The key for nonprofit organizations to successfully solicit donations, local leaders said, is to highlight successes.
Issaquah milestones from 2012 reflect challenges, changes
December 25, 2012
Challenges — whether economic, political or social — defined the year.
More kokanee return as community works to restore species
December 4, 2012
Homeowner funds $175,000 culvert project
Lake Sammamish kokanee salmon — a landlocked cousin of sockeye and a species noted for distinctive red coloration — dwindled in recent decades, since before Wally Pereyra moved into a house along Ebright Creek in 1973.
Issaquah Community Network, FISH net statewide award
November 20, 2012
Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery and the Issaquah Community Network garnered a top honor for offering employment opportunities for young people with disabilities, officials announced Nov. 1.
The organizations received the Youth Employer Award from the Governor's Committee on Disability Issues and Employment. The honor recognizes the organization's partnership to accommodate workers with disabilities, and for efforts to create a productive and inclusive workforce.
The state-level committee behind the award advises the governor, legislators and state agencies on policy affecting people with disabilities.
Issaquah Salmon Hatchery spawns chinook, coho
November 6, 2012
Issaquah Salmon Hatchery workers and volunteers sloshed around in 40-degree water Oct. 30, as the annual effort to spawn coho salmon started again.
Teams from the state Department of Fish and Wildlife and Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery plan to collect 1.2 million coho eggs. The process to spawn coho started about a month after hatchery workers and volunteers started spawning chinook. In the resulting effort, teams collected 2.2 million eggs.
FISH Executive Director Jane Kuechle and John Kugen, hatchery foreman, said the partnership between the nonprofit organization and the state agency is essential for the survival of Issaquah Creek salmon — and the hatchery.
The hatchery, a fixture in downtown Issaquah for 75 years, spawns and raises coho and chinook.
State fisheries experts expected a more robust chinook salmon return but a smaller coho salmon return to Puget Sound streams in 2012.
"It comes and goes," Kugen said. "The best one that we had that I can remember was 2001, when we had 18,000 coho and then a couple years ago we had 13,000. Coho come back in bigger numbers because they're released as bigger smolts. They're about 7 or 8 inches long, so there's less predation on them than chinook."
Darigold donates water for Lake Sammamish kokanee
November 6, 2012
Darigold joined the effort in recent weeks to preserve dwindling Lake Sammamish kokanee salmon, Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery announced Oct. 26.
The downtown Issaquah dairy is donating water from a well to the Lower Issaquah Valley Aquifer for the hatchery to use in the ongoing effort to restore kokanee. The contribution from Darigold should save the hatchery about $50,000 over the program's anticipated lifespan through 2021.
Experts said the Darigold water is ideal for kokanee due to consistent quality and temperature. Using the water allows hatchery teams to prevent the fish from imprinting on Issaquah Creek water, and instead allows fry to imprint on Ebright, Laughing Jacobs and Lewis creeks.
Head to Beaver Lake for hatchery rainbow trout
November 6, 2012
The state Department of Fish and Wildlife is planning to release some of those big rainbow trout you may have seen in a rearing pond at the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery. In fact, you may have fed them through the fence with fish food provided by the Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery during Salmon Days.
Beaver Lake in Sammamish will be the fortunate recipient site. The department announced it will release about 2,000 rainbow trout weighing from 2-3 pounds, and open the lake for fishing at sunrise Nov. 8. The lake was to be closed for fishing Tuesday and Wednesday prior to the reopening.
The daily limit for Beaver Lake is five fish of which only two may exceed 15 inches in length. Two of those big trout should be more than enough to feed most families.
Now, here is an easy-to-access, urban lake that is close by and only 15 minutes from downtown Issaquah. To cast and wade from shore, do so from Beaver Lake Park, maintained by the city of Sammamish. It has a lot of parking and is accessible from Southeast 24th Street that intersects 228th Avenue Southeast at Discovery Elementary School.
FISH, Issaquah Community Network earn state award
November 5, 2012
NEW — 8 p.m. Nov. 5, 2012
Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery and the Issaquah Community Network garnered a top honor for offering employment opportunities for young people with disabilities, officials announced Nov. 1.
The organizations received the Youth Employer Award from the Governor's Committee on Disability Issues and Employment. The honor recognizes the organization's partnership to accommodate workers with disabilities, and for efforts to create a productive and inclusive workforce.
The state-level committee behind the award advises the governor, legislators and state agencies on policy affecting people with disabilities.
In recent years, students with disabilities from local school districts received paid internships at the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery, and helped hatchery staffers and volunteers complete important tasks.
FISH lures public to annual meeting
October 30, 2012
Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery volunteers and hatchery crews spawned 996 chinook in the past month, as the autumn salmon run transformed the hatchery into a hub of activity.
Now, residents can learn more about the salmon conservation efforts spearheaded by FISH at the nonprofit organization's annual meeting next month.

Greensburg Daily News
Greensburg — For a second straight season, the Greensburg boys basketball team is pursuing the opportunity for another repeat championship.
The south semi-state tomorrow at Richmond High School boasts the past two state champions in Class 3A.
Greensburg's regional title last Saturday set the Pirates up for tomorrow's epic matchup against Guerin Catholic, the second-ranked team in Class 3A. The Pirates (26-1) return to the Tiernan Center to battle the Golden Eagles (22-3) for a shot to play for the state championship trophy.
Preseason glances into the crystal ball hinted at the collision of these teams before their opening games. Along with Bowman Academy, which has won a state title in two different classes the past four seasons, the Pirates and Golden Eagles were favored to advance to the Final Four. Almost by design, the top three teams in Class 3A are still in the hunt.
The Golden Eagles' pursuit of a repeat last season fell short in the sectional. Guerin fell to Mt. Vernon (Fortville) 37-30 in the sectional opener. This time, the Golden Eagles must contend with a starting five that is 75-3 together in the past three seasons.
Guerin defeated Tri-West 74-58 in the regional semifinal last Saturday, and topped Edgewood 64-33 for the title. Greensburg beat Silver Creek 70-60 in the semi, and clinched the program's seventh regional crown with a 73-50 win over Evansville Memorial.
Greensburg and Guerin match up with each other as well as any other teams in the state. The similarities in height and the comparable level of talent at respective positions look to make for a competitive contest. Both teams return their top four scorers, while Greensburg returns all five from last year.
Guerin features two standout seniors in Aaron Brennan, a 6-foot-6 power forward, and Whit Rapp, a 6-foot point guard. Brennan scores 16.6 points per game and averages eight rebounds. Pirate junior Ryan Welage, a 6-foot-8 forward, and senior Sean Sellers, a 6-foot-7 forward, look to counter inside. Sellers averages 20 points and 7.5 rebounds, while Welage averages 15 points and 6.4 rebounds.
Senior power forward Cris Burrough, who adds bulk to the Eagles' lineup at 6-foot-6, averages 9.1 points and 4.1 rebounds.
The game will spotlight two of the state's best point guards in Greensburg senior Bryant McIntosh and Guerin senior Whit Rapp. McIntosh, the Pirates' career assists leader, averages 14.1 points and nine assists. He was two rebounds short of a triple-double in the regional championship against Evansville Memorial Saturday, posting 12 points, 11 assists and eight boards. McIntosh's assist-turnover ratio is an astounding 8.71. Rapp's is also impressive at 3.91. Rapp averages 7.8 points and 8.9 assists per game, and adds 4.3 rebounds.
Junior forward Matt Holba, who transferred from Chesterton, brings his 6-foot-6 frame, 15.6 points and 6.9 rebounds to the court Saturday to boost an Eagle squad that fell short in last year's Sectional.
Holba has drawn interest from Division I colleges, along with Brennan and Burrough.
Greensburg's prolific shooting does not end with the starting lineup. Senior forward Tom Lawrence, the Pirates' sixth man, shoots 50 percent from the field, 42 percent from 3-point range and 71 percent from the foul line. His 1.47 assist-turnover ratio only helps the Pirates, and his 6-foot-6 frame gives them matchup versatility. Senior Tye Fleetwood, an athletic guard with quickness, shoots 53 percent from the field and 65 percent from the foul line.
Guerin is coached by Pete Smith, who is 141-61 (69.8 percent) in his 10th year at the school and 325-214 (60 percent) in his 23rd year overall.
Greensburg head coach Stacy Meyer is 144-48 (75 percent) at Greensburg and 202-104 (66 percent) in his 13th year overall.
Sellers said the Pirates have confidence in each other and their coaching staff to prepare them for one of the biggest games in the program's history.
"Next weekend's going to be a definite grind-out kind of game," said Sellers after the regionals. "They're very good at running their sets, and executing well, and getting the best shot for them. It's definitely going to be a good test for us."
Bowman Academy (21-4) plays Fort Wayne Dwenger (17-8) in the Huntington Semi-State at 5:15.

Dave Martin, Associated Press
MOBILE, Ala. — When their cruise ship lost power, passengers aboard the Carnival Triumph could have been selfish and looked out only for themselves and their loved ones. Instead, they became comrades in a long, exhausting struggle to get home.
As ship conditions deteriorated, travelers formed Bible study groups, shared or traded precious supplies and even welcomed strangers into their private cabins. Long after they've returned to the everyday luxuries of hot showers and cold drinks, passengers said, they will remember the crew and the personal bonds formed during a cruel week at sea.
The tired passengers finally reached land Friday and gave a glimpse into the intensely uncomfortable journey they had endured.
Sandy Jackson, of Houston, was fortunate to have an upper-level room with a balcony and a breeze that kept the air in her cabin fresh. Rooms on the lower decks were too foul or stifling, so Jackson took in five people, including four strangers.
"We knew one, the others we're very good friends with now," Jackson said. "Everyone was very cordial in sharing supplies. What you had and they didn't have, everyone shared as much as possible."
Brandi Dorsett, of Sweeny, Texas, said people were antsy and irritable at times, and there was tension. But it never got out of hand.
"People were bartering. Can I have your cereal for this? Can I have your drink for that?" she said. "We had one lady, she was begging for cigarettes for diapers. There were no diapers on the boat. There was no formula on the boat."
The ship left Galveston, Texas, on Feb. 17 for a four-day jaunt to Cozumel, Mexico. An engine-room fire early Sunday paralyzed ship, leaving it adrift in the Gulf of Mexico until tugboats towed the massive 14-story vessel to Mobile. It arrived late Thursday to cheers and flashing cameras.
Sweet Home Alabama!" read one of the homemade signs passengers hung over the side.
Many of the more than 4,200 people aboard were bused to New Orleans to catch a flight home or to the ship's home port in Galveston. And as if they hadn't suffered enough, one of the buses broke down during the two-hour ride to New Orleans. Passengers on a different bus reported losing their luggage.
But that was nothing compared to life on the crippled cruise liner. To pass the time, Joseph Alvarez said about 45 people gathered in a public room on the lower deck for Bible study.
"It was awesome," he said. "It lifted up our souls and gave us hope that we would get back."
Because many passengers were sleeping on the outside deck, Dwayne Chapman of Lake Charles, La., used his pocket knife to cut decorative rope to make tents out of bed sheets. At first, other passengers told him they thought he was going to get in trouble, but later, everyone wanted to borrow his knife to do the same thing.
"I really think we've made some lifelong friends going through this ordeal," Chapman's wife, Kim, said.
When it was over, many passengers were just grateful for some simple pleasures. After days of warm drinks, Cheryl McIntosh and her husband were glad to see coolers full of ice.
"The first thing we did was open up those Diet Cokes and we drank some," McIntosh said.
Tugs pulled the ship away from the dock Friday, moving it down a waterway to a shipyard where it will be repaired. Carnival spokesman Vance Gulliksen said the damage assessment was ongoing.
The cleanup seemed daunting. Passengers described water-logged carpet, sewage seeping through the walls, overflowing toilets and a stench so bad people choked when they tried to endure it.

UPS Honors Oklahoma Drivers for 25 Years of Safe Driving
* Reuters is not responsible for the content in this press release.
http://pdf.reuters.com/htmlnews/8knews.asp?i=43059c3bf0e37541&u=urn:newsml:reuters.com:20130220:nBw205849a http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20130220005849/en OKLAHOMA CITY--(Business Wire)-- UPS (NYSE:UPS) today announced 23 elite drivers from Oklahoma are among 1,283 newly inducted worldwide into the Circle of Honor, an honorary organization for UPS drivers who have achieved 25 or more years of accident-free driving. Oklahoma boasts 104 active Circle of Honor drivers with a combined 2,903 years of accident-free driving. Raymond Buxton of Stillwater is the state`s senior safe driver, with 37 years of accident-free driving under his belt. There are 806 total UPS drivers in Oklahoma. Globally, 6,486 active UPS drivers are members of the Circle of Honor. Collectively they`ve racked up 178,663 years and more than 5.3 billion safe miles during their careers, or the equivalent of circling the earth more than 212,000 times. "My thanks go to all of them for their dedication and focus, and for the countless lives they`ve saved," said Habib Pourfakhrai, president, UPS Red River District. Globally, the most seasoned UPS Circle of Honor driver is Thomas Camp of Livonia, Mich., with 50 years of driving without an accident. Thomas Santocke of Dearborn, Mich., and Ronald McKnight of Bronx, N.Y., are next in line with 44 years each of safe driving. Thirty-seven others have logged at least 40 years without an accident. UPS`s 102,000 drivers are among the safest on the roads, logging nearly 3 billion miles a year and averaging less than one accident for every million miles driven. UPS invested $175 million in 2012 on safety training and employs its own comprehensive driving course called "Space and Visibility." All UPS drivers are taught safe driving methods beginning on the first day of classroom training through the company`s defensive driving platform. The training continues throughout their careers. Founded in 1907, UPS has a rich history of safety and training. The company issued its first driver handbook in 1917 and began recognizing safe drivers in 1923. In 1928, UPS recognized its first five-year safe driver, Ray McCue, with UPS founder Jim Casey presenting him a gold and platinum watch. UPS formally established its safe driving honor program in 1928. More information on UPS`s commitment to safety is available at http://www.pressroom.ups.com/safety. UPS (NYSE:UPS) is a global leader in logistics, offering a broad range of solutions including the transportation of packages and freight; the facilitation of international trade, and the deployment of advanced technology to more efficiently manage the world of business. Headquartered in Atlanta, UPS serves more than 220 countries and territories worldwide. The company can be found on the Web at UPS.com and its corporate blog can be found at blog.ups.com.

This is a great product, but the picture, above, is…
Price Paid: $30
This is a great product, but the picture, above, is incorrect. This is a review for the SHORT one, well anyway, they are similar, but, well, the shorter one only goes to the knees...
Well, here goes:
OVERALL: We all know Thermarest makes a great product, and this one fits a really nice niche: Best insulation (1.5 inches) but lite (1.5 lbs) so sort of balancing comfort (loft and temp) vs. size.
Pros: Comfortable, Packs Easily, Easy To Inflate, Durable, Lightweight, Warm, Non Slip, Small / Compact
Describe Yourself: Professional/Guide/Avid
What Is Your Gear Style : Mid-minimalist, I bring what I enjoy (birding books, etc) and cut out the B.S. (heavy stoves, etc)
Found on campmor for 30 bucks, as 'distressed' or 'second: I can not actually find the 'blemish' - except maybe the silk-screen of the name is kinda badly done - otherwise perfect!
I only weight 160 or so but people who weight 200 or so report it is still comfortable. Anyway, I do like... It's a good product, for sure. Rugged, compact, still comfy yet lite, who couldn't appreciate how this item meets a need?
My version is short, so some others will appreciate the longer models. Anyway, after many, many years of only carrying super-duper-lite foam, I finally found a blow-up that meets my expectations (but won't replace my girlfriend in cost.... blow-up jokes, aside)....
Where to Buy
Retailers' Descriptions

A Game of Hide and Seek (eBook)
A Game of Hide and Seek (eBook)
The mid-twentieth century British novelist Elizabeth Taylor
numbered among her admirers Elizabeth Bowen, Ivy Compton-
Burnett, and Kingsley Amis. She also regularly published stories
in The New Yorker for close to two decades. For all that, her
work, as steely as it is delicate, remains the secret of a small
number of intensely devoted readers.
The publication of her finest novel, A Game of Hide and Seek,
long unavailable in the United States, should help to change
that. This is an unabashed love story, capturing all the uncertainty
and inevitability and deceptiveness of true love, tracking
the shifting currents of emotional life, and never yielding to
melodrama. Set in Britain between the wars, a time of transition
between old convention and new ways, the book has for a
heroine Harriet, the only child of a suffragette, whom we meet
as a shy and domestic and not especially smart or pretty girl.
At eighteen she falls in love with Vesey, but after Vesey must
go away, she marries another man, Charles, and bears a child.
Then Vesey returns.
Love is at the center of the book, but so too is Taylor's extraordinary
knack for depicting characters. The minor figures in
the book—from Harriet's mother's friend Caroline, with her
progressive politics, to Charles, his coworkers, and his mother,
to Betsy with her schoolgirl crush on her Greek teacher—are as
memorable as the passion and heartache of Harriet and Vesey.
About the Author
ELIZABETH TAYLOR (1912–1975) was born into a middle-class family in Berkshire, England. She held a variety of positions, including librarian and governess, before marrying a businessman in 1936. Nine years later, her first novel, At Mrs. Lippincote's, appeared. She would go on to publish
eleven more novels, including Angel (available as an NYRB Classic), four collections of short stories (many of which originally appeared in The New Yorker, Harper's, and other magazines), and a children's book, Mossy Trotter, while living with her husband and two children in Buckinghamshire. Long championed by Ivy Compton-Burnett, Barbara Pym, Robert Liddell, Kingsley Amis, and Elizabeth Jane Howard, Taylor's novels and stories have been the basis for a number of films, including Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont (2005), starring Joan Plowright, and François Ozon's Angel (2007). In 2013 NYRB Classics will publish a new selection of Taylor's short stories.
CALEB CRAIN is the author of American Sympathy, a study of friendship between men in early American literature. He has written for The New Yorker, The New York Review of Books, and n+1. His novel Necessary Errors will be published in 2013.
Praise for A Game of Hide and Seek…
"Taylor has the genius of making her characters understood, sometimes with an almost frightening clarity, perhaps because she is compassionate as well as relentless in her delineation of them."
—The New York Times
"Funny, savage and full of loneliness and suppressed emotion."
—Rachel Cooke, The Observer
"It is time that justice was done to Elizabeth Taylor. . . . All her writings could be described as coming into the category of comedy. Comedy is the best vehicle for truths that are too fierce to be borne."
—Anita Brookner
"Elizabeth Taylor is finally being recognized as an important British author: an author of great subtlety, great compassion and great depth. As a reader, I have found huge pleasure in returning to Taylor's novels and short stories many times over. As a writer I've returned to her too—in awe of her achievements, and trying to work out how she does it." —Sarah Waters

Can we all get together and do each other a favour? We need to stop writing about bullshit. I am so tired of seeing sentences, paragraphs, and novels without any substance or meaning. Pretty words don't have value unless there's a driving force behind them. So please, stop writing about how we're all made of stardust and how your lips are the colour of strawberries and taste like licorice. Stop writing just to get attention, to get notes or comments or likes. Write because you have something to say. Words hold great power; don't abuse them.
tonight i left my apartment for a cigarette, fingers brushing against the beige walls and the electric blue-hot pink hula hoop hanging on one of them as i steadied myself to put on brown shoes, shorts tugged up over pyjama boxers because i couldn't give a shit
i padded out to the edge of the grey parking lot, past where the ugly yellow streetlights manage to reach
there across the lake, across a black expanse of water, i saw a firework shoot up. then, not seconds later, another, what looked to me to be just a few inches away. really it must have been quite some space, on a beach on the other side. the first one shot up like a signal flare, all alternating green and red.
the second was identical, like a rescue flare, like a lover when you call them panicking in the middle of the night, and they're saying, "no, i am here, you're okay, we're okay."
then, further southwest, a third firework, the kind that looks like dandelion puffs, sending seeds all out, telling the first two, "you are not alone."
a fourth went off, again, from somewhere else, and when it did my hurt burst, i mean my heart burst. none of us are alone, it's just that sometimes the fireworks don't go off in rhythm, we can't see each other for all this dark, all this bland, but sometimes it's perfect, and the timing is right, we just have to wait until that moment. we need to make it there.
when we finally get it all down pat, the colour is there, the explosions of light and the sound too far away to hear, telling us in stuttering morse code flash combustions that we're okay. this is me, exploding for you. this is me, always about to burst.
i am here. you are here. we're okay. let that be the salvo we fire into the world. we're okay, or we're going to be. the fireworks across the dark, paroxysms of heart-lights fizzling out, only to relight and burst again.
relight with me.
things i learned today:
1. my phone's features for blocking texts and for blocking calls are two separate things
2. gmail doesnt have a way to block senders, but it does have a way to send emails directly to your trash bin
there's a little clock inside that keeps ticking
it was unlike anything i've ever experienced.
i thought it would be something magical and hey, i, the biggest cynic ever, thought that maybe we would have a happy ride-into-the-sunset ending.
boy was i wrong. was i so, so, so fucking wrong. he led me on and left me as fast as he came into my life.
nothing ever happened between us. i can't even be angry at him (i tried that for, um… three years). i know if i ever saw him again everything i ever tried to shield myself from would come rushing back.
i'm a thousand percent sure that he IS my soulmate. (you know when people say "you just know"? yeah). but as i learned the hard way, sometimes, these things don't work out.
he's with someone now.
someone once told me that people are like gems. the purest have been through fire, they have had all their ore chipped away quite painfully. and that in reality the great guy and girl rarely get together. sometimes the good guy and girl do, often the bad guy and girl unite their inadequacies. but the Greats tend not to.
it's been decided. i'm going to be a wandering brokenhearted crazy person for the rest of my life. it's kind of hilarious and sad, but what if there's a possibility that it could be fun????????
and now i leave you with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuxU5an9-H8
good night and fuck my fucking life.
l o l fucking COOL that everyone seems to be graduating and getting engaged and starting cool lives while i'm struggling to even stay in school and pay rent like FUCK MY FUCKING LIFE
in perhaps a year's time, i am going to propose to her. maybe at a concert, she'll be sweaty and breathless, and i will have disappeared into a crowd briefly, be battered and laughing too hard. i'll have a sterling silver ring at in my jeans pocket - we're not the people that diamonds are made for. she doesn't need a diamond, she is one. between the band's "last song" and the encore, i'll push my way back to her, or maybe i'll have already found her, grabbed her, kissed her, during the last verses, and then i will get down on one knee in the middle of all these other endorphin-high people, and i will tell her again what she is to me, and i will ask her if she's willing to spend the rest of her life (or, more likely, the rest of my life, though that's not a phrase i'd use in a goddamn proposal because even though she loves my dark, she wishes it wasn't there) being that. for me.
in perhaps a year's time, i'll do that, if i haven't managed to stop breathing because i live on my own now and i think the attacks are coming back. in the dead of night, and in the early mornings, it's just me, my shower, the lake outside and the breeze blowing across it. i won the battle. i'd forgot about the war.
I dont trust you and I don't trust myself and I don't know who really cares about me and I don't like myself and I hate mirrors and our friendship hurts me too much to be healthy and I think I need some time and I think I need to figure out my life first.. I want to believe that I am worth it but I cant because you make me feel like im not a real person and I never feel good enough for you and I look at the scale too much and I am so sick of everyone telling me im too skinny and I want to eat but I'm scared I'l throw it up so I don't eat but I know I should. Im better than this but for some reason I feel like I deserve this. I'm scared it's getting bad again you make it bad again this is dangerous and im scared. I'm very scared.
I have a crush.
I said it. I said it out loud and I didn't die.
problem: I can't have a crush. I'm in a committed, monogamous relationship.
bigger problem: it's on my high school boyfriend.
We were together for six months. Six months when I was 17 and he was 19. It's a while ago now. We broke up because we were two awkward virgins who couldn't even kiss each other. But the rest of it worked, and it worked well, and I can't help but think that now, now we're older, now we're better at intimacy (for lack of a better word), we could have something amazing
problem: he's one of my best friends.
bigger problem: we're in a play together
biggest problem: we're going away together in October
He is the closest thing I have to the one who got away, you know?
I don't want to leave my partner. I love him. We're going to get married one day. We have a house, and some cats. I love this, and I'm not going to throw it away.
But I can't stop thinking what if what if what if.
i want to buy a plant and clean my room and be happy. hot pockets and turkey sandwiches are how i keep from completely relapsing.
There is such a lack of respect for each other in my family and my family has really shitty communication skills.
I have decided to become a mediator explaining people's opinions and feelings to each other because no one is listening in the situation so I decided to become the person that listens. because everyone else just talks with the expectation that they will be heard instead of stepping back and getting the other person's perspective on the situation. My dad is the chief person who does this I hate how he will go on and on about his own perspective on a situation and then stonewalls when the other person tries to explain their side of the situation. In the past I would either stay in my room and silently fume about the lack of respect that my family members have for each other (like my mom) or I would behave like my dad (and do the exact behavior that I hate) by stating my own view and ignoring the views of others. Now I feel like I have found a third way instead of staying angry or trying to change my family members I can be the change that I want to see in the world. i want my family members to listen to each other more so I can listen and set the example and try and change the mood of respect in my family. I won't just keep to myself and be silently miserable and bottle up my feelings but at the same time I won't stonewall, and put my own views above others, and trying dominate others in a discussion (like my dad) I will try the middle path of just listening and paraphrasing what the other person has said. Maybe to help my brothers and father realize that they are not listening to each other but mostly to practice listening when I am defensive instead of stonewalling, and putting my own views above others (like my dad) or keeping my feelings to myself and being passive aggressive (like my mom) when I get defensive I tend to turn to my parents behavior because that is the behavior that I learned from my childhood, but I don't want to act like my parents especially with my own kids some day and definitely not with my husband, which means that I have to learn how to act differently from my parents when defensive instead of turning into them, and by listening instead of falling back on there behavior, I am trying something new and practicing a new way of acting while defensive and in an argument. I'm trying to acknowledge the fact that I am no better than my brother or parents and that I do the the same shitty behavior as them, and I'm trying to catch myself after I behave like my parents so I can slowly change my behavior the third step is trying to push myself to do something different instead of just defaulting to how my parents would act in a situation.
All that anger I felt at 14 is rushing back all those times when I felt disrespected and like what I had to say wasn't important are rising to the surface and now I can't sleep because I'm so pissed at my dad, like I kind of want to punch him in the face. I hate the fact that he never listens in an argument or discussion he feels like the whole discussion should be about him and what he wants and uses the discussion to be critical of me or my brothers and explain his disapproval of us instead of listening to our side of the perspective. every time my brother tried to explain his side of the story in a discussion my brother and dad had last night my dad tried to cut him off and shut him up by saying "okay, okay" or "listen to me" or "fine you don't want to listen to me" to dismiss his word instead of hearing my brother out and if my brother kept talking then my dad would literally walk away from him instead of listening to what he had to say. and while walking away he would repeat "you don't want to listen to me fine" to dismiss anything my brother had to say. It infuriates me and makes me so angry that my dad doesn't take a second to listen to my brother. He literally either 1) talks about his perspective 2) criticizes my brother about the issue 3) talks over my brother by saying one of the dismissive statements above to try and cut him off from talking anytime my brother wants to explain his side of the story 4) walks away when my brother tries to do the same thing he does which is talk over the person in an attempt to get your ideas heard. I hate the fact that my dad doesn't listen to me or my brothers in a discussion he either talks over us or stonewalls us or repeats his own point of view but he never listens he never stops thinking about his own view or voicing his own view to listen to us, even in those rare times where he is like "alright talk about your side", he doesn't make eye contact he looks impatient and is tapping his foot like he is waiting for us to shut up so he can talk. and then after we explain he doesn't acknowledge what we said and instead he just repeats what his point of view as if we never told him our point of view. i hate the fact that my dad thinks respect is a one way street, that in any discussion one person loses respect and another person gains respect. aka (he gains all the respect and we lose all the respect) and that to listen to another person's point of view, or to stop constantly asserting his view is to lose respect. I hate how he confuses domination with respect. I believe respect is a two way street that it is about acknowledging that another person's perspective and opinions and feelings are just as important as your own and you can't receive respect unless you give it. My dad acts like the person who acts the most indifferent and the most aggressive is the one that gets the respect, and that getting respect is a battle that he has to win, by constantly repeating his own view, putting the other person down with criticism, and ignoring what the other person has to say to get respect like only his thoughts and feelings should be the one that is voiced and voicing another person's thoughts and feeling equals not getting respect to him because respect is something that only one person can have. I hate how he confuses dominance with respect. I hate how it leave me and my brothers feeling unimportant, rejected, and angry. because we did get any respect because my dad sucked it all up, when we feeling deep down inside that we need and deserve some of that respect that my dad is sucking up and trying to get "all" of. I just wish people in my family could openly give and receive respect instead of trying to hoard it all, by taking it from another person in my family because everyone feels that they are not getting enough respect so they have to "take it" from someone else. Its an annoying and constantly present pattern of feeling angry because you get no respect and then trying to "take" that respect from someone else which leads to that person feeling angry because they are getting no respect for example my dad ignoring my brother and just restating his own view made my brother feel angry because he wasn't being respected in the situation which caused him to go and try to "take respect" from my mom but calling her names and constantly restating his own point of view (just like my dad)
but at the same time a few days after a fight goes down I completely forget about the anger I harbor towards my dad and how he stonewalls, and states his own point over the points of others. But I guess, I can't be perpetually angry and constantly fuming and having my heart rate up I have to move on just to stay healthy and to not have stress and anger eat away at my health, but at the same time I act nice to him and apologies to him even though a few days earlier I hated him. I guess my anger at him take form in the want not to be close to him or to talk to him about things or to ask him to help me with anything like the want to always have some distance between us is the constant presence of my anger towards him about the way discussions are conducted
I can't move back home, my mom is constantly dropping hints that I should move back home after college but the thought of moving back home after college fills me up with dread because I don't want to become like my brother. I don't want to constantly feel like a rebellious teenager which my brother feels like. I don't want to constantly feel frustrated and angry about how my parents treat me but at the same time dependent on them and angry at myself because of that dependence. I don't want to constantly be rebelling from my parents to try and get an inch of respect from them. my brother feel aimless because everything is taken care of so he doesn't feel that desperation and need that a person needs to have to grow up. At the same time my brother is stuck in my family politics because he is living at home, he is stuck with my dad's criticalness and my mom's nit picking and passive aggressiveness he is stuck with the fact that my parents tend to tell there own perspective and ignore the other person's perspective in my family and since he is living at home is gets stuck resenting my parents and then rebelling against them and then my parents get critical and passive aggressive and my brother resents them and a negative cycle builds that he is stuck in and he continuously feel angry and frustrated and powerless like we all did when me and my brothers were teenagers. I don't want to become my brother I don't want to feel that anger and powerless and have to deal with that lack of respect all the time which would happen if I lived at home.
I hate how my mom is at the lowest end of the respect totem poll in my house. I hate how my dad is at the top demanding that we all obey him and I hate how my mom is at the bottom and my brothers expect respect from her. like the flow of respect goes from my dad down and ends with my mom getting nothing and has my dad at the top trying to suck up all of it and not give it to anyone. I hate how her wants and needs come last. I hate how my dad will show disrespect for my brothers and then my brothers will show disrespect for my mom all the time they call her names, they tell her to shut up, they completely ignore her when she is talking to them, they talk to her like a child to be disciplined when they are asking for something from her instead of like she is the one with the power in the situation. I have a big fear that when I'm married and I'm in a family I'll be at the lowest point in the totem poll and this fear is fueling the need and anger and desperation behind the whole fifty-fifty parenting and housecare like I really really want it in my own marriage and adult relationship and I even tried to push my brothers into it now because I wanted it so badly for me its a shield against ending up at the lowest point of the respect totem poll like my mom is, a daily and constant reminder that I am respected, I feel the same way about staying at work instead of dropping out, I'm afraid if I drop out of work and become a housewife then I will end up at the bottom of my families respect totem poll because dad will be the one with the money and thus the power while I'll be the one without the money or power to my kids and they will trample over me. I believe that my mom being on the bottom of the totem poll started with her quitting employment to be a housewife and I don't want to make that mistake and end up not getting respect from anyone.
I need to sit down with my dad and talk about his listening skills with him like two adults instead of just silently hating him, I need to practice saying "I need, I want, and I feel" phrases instead of just saying "you are" phrases. In my head I'm constantly putting down my dad, and criticizing him (like what he does to me and my brothers) and I need to put new techniques into practice instead of acting like him and doing the very same behaviors that I hate in him. I need to be mature and start to change myself and stop myself from behaving like my parents instead o criticizing them and trying to change them (which is what my dad does)
I need to focus on changing myself so I don't display this behavior of silently fuming, or trying to win discussions or assert my view over someone else view, or criticizing and trying to force someone to change, or putting someone else down instead of being open and honest about my feelings, or stonewalling, by stating my own point and then walking away. I do all of theses shitty behaviors that I constantly notice and criticize my parents and brothers for so I'm not above them. I can't and will never change my brothers or parents and I need to focus on changing myself because that is the only person I can change and I need to make sure I don't display these behaviors in the future when I'm married and when I have kids or even when I start my first relationship, I don't want to be doing these shitty behaviors in a romantic relationship. I want to have new more conductive argument styles and I want to be able to openly give and receive respect by the time that I start my first relationship. I just need to change myself.
