How to Recognize the Warning Signs of Suicide
Three Parts:Looking for Behavioral CluesLooking for Background CluesGetting Help
Is someone you know going through a period of overwhelming depression? Have you noticed a sudden change in the behavior of a classmate? Or, most frightening of all, do you feel yourself giving up hope? Unfortunately, suicidal thoughts affect many people. If the worst occurs, those left behind are often left painfully wondering if there was anything they could've done. It can be possible to reach out to a suicidal person and ultimately save his or her life. Between 50 and 75% of suicide victims tell someone about their intentions before acting – more still display some sort of warning sign.[1] The first step to helping suicidal people is to realize that they need you.
Part 1 of 3: Looking for Behavioral Clues
1Look for a significant change in appearance. Someone who feels that their whole world is spiraling out of control may suddenly change the way they look (by wearing different clothes, getting a new haircut, etc.) because they feel it's the only thing they still have control over. The clothes are just an outward manifestation of the changes they feel on the inside.
- On the other hand, if they suddenly stop caring about their appearance (i.e., stop shaving, bathing, wearing clean clothes) this can also be a sign that they're having personal issues.
2Watch for a negative change in overall attitude. People who have begun to struggle from suicidal thoughts may suddenly take a severe emotional turn for the worse. They may stop making eye contact, withdraw from family, friends, and society, may cry often, both in public and alone, and, in general, appear depressed or sad most of the time. They may attempt to create an external facade of happiness, but this will usually seem "forced" or disingenuous.
- This classification is more common with teens. Older adults tend to withdraw with a hopeless, quiet, ready-to-say-goodbye way, while teens generally will come off more angsty and emotional.[2]
3Pay attention to dramatic mood swings. Severely depressed people can become emotionally unstable. They may veer from happy to mad very quickly after a seemingly trivial event reminds them of their troubles. They can feel anxious, angry, desperate, and trapped (sometimes simultaneously) at the drop of a hat.
- Sadly, these mood changes often drive people away from the depressed person, which can make the person feel even more alone, worsening their depression. In this circumstance, be the one who doesn't walk away.
- A suicidal person can swing the entire length of pendulum, going from calm, cool, and collected to blowing up in a burst of anger and anxiety a moment later. You may feel like you don't even know the other person any more and cannot predict their behavior.
4Look for attempts to withdraw from social life. Often, depressed people may purposely act in a way that will make people want to avoid them in an effort to isolate themselves. They'll quit any groups they were a part of and leave their circle of friends. This can be very confusing to others and even to the depressed person him/herself.[3]
- Actions like this often result from a feeling that they are a burden to others and that "the world will be better off without them" or from a plan to distance themselves from people before suicide to lessen the impact of their death.
- A "what's the point?" type of thought pattern often dictates their behavior. They have no sense of purpose, leading to no desire to even associate with people they love. In their minds, it's all become pointless.
5Look for a sudden loss of interest in day-to-day activities. Suicidal people may suddenly become extremely apathetic. Projects, hobbies, or jobs that they once devoted their whole life to may fall by the wayside. They may not be interested in forming or keeping up emotional or physical relationships with anybody. They may begin to perform poorly in work or school, letting their grades or performance reviews deteriorate and possibly not bother to show up at all.
- Worse still, they may begin to feel apathetic about their own life. Someone who feels they have nothing to lose may suddenly start making huge and reckless decisions without thinking them through, putting themselves in financial or even physical danger.
6Monitor changes in eating or sleeping habits. Some people with depression overeat, others eat less or even develop an eating disorder. Some become insomniacs and others try to sleep their troubles away, abandoning everything else in their life. Whatever their normal routine was, it's gone now.
- They may seem restless, even when they're tired. There body is in an altered state where their normal human functions of survival are off-kilter. This can be very dangerous if left unattended.
7Look for signs of self abuse. Self-harming behaviors like cutting) or substance abuse are indicators that the person is not placing high value in their safety and well-being. Regardless of whether someone engaging in these behaviors is actually suicidal, they need help and support.
- Many suicidal persons increase their intake of drugs or alcohol to dangerous levels. At first, they may use these medicinally as a way to induce sleep (for example), but eventually it becomes a way to cope with the stress of everyday existence.[4]
8Listen for verbal suggestions of suicide. Everyday expressions involving metaphorical death, like "ugh, if we have homework tonight, I'm going to kill myself" and "he just broke up with me, my life is over" are one thing, but genuine cries for help are not to be ignored. Listen for thoughts or phrases like the following – they may be an attempt to alert people that something is wrong:
- "It's too late now."
- "I can't go on."
- "I have nothing to live for."
- "I'm just so tired of life."
- "No one cares about what happens to me."
- "There is nothing left to do."
- "What's the use?"
- "They won't have to deal with me."
- "I'm at the end of my rope."
- "They're better off without me."
- "I just want the pain to stop."
- "Nobody gets me."
- "You just don't understand!"
9Look for evidence of "tying up loose ends." People planning suicide may attempt to settle their earthly affairs before proceeding. They may do things such as:[5]
- Giving away possessions (or making plans to do so). If someone is writing a will or giving away prized heirlooms out of the blue, they probably don't think they need their material possessions anymore. Take action quickly.
- Trying one last time to confront someone or someplace that they feel caused their depression. While depression, and ultimately, suicide, are often a result of a "snowball effect," there may be one event that the person feels started the snowball rolling – the original trigger. They may attempt to make peace one last time. In the worst of cases, they may even be seeking revenge, in which case prompt help is even more important than normal.
- Saying goodbye. A person that is considering suicide may suddenly make a point of saying goodbye to people at odd opportunities, like when they walk out of rooms or drive away. These may even be people they haven't talked to in ages.
10Watch out for a sudden, specific interest in death or suicide. The individual in question may start reading, writing, or talking about the subject. They may listen to dark music with themes of death, pain, sadness, and dying. They may be buying things that would aid in a suicide, like firearms, other weapons, or large quantities of medicine.
- If you feel it's appropriate, take a look into their purchasing history, and ask around if they've been inquiring about firearms or drugs. This is a concrete sign that is hard to argue with or misinterpret.
11Look for rebellious, dangerous behavior. Since the suicidal person feels no reason to live, they can be found taking risks that could lead to death, like driving quick and recklessly or running red lights. Their normal "this is dangerous" button has been turned off. They have no consideration for the harm they do to themselves or to their body.
- Trying to talk sense into a person that acts like this is a tall order. They often won't see the logic behind your argument; or if they do, they won't care. Their fear has been removed and now they're simply following their impulses. That's quite the beast to stop.
12Watch for sudden "rebounds." If the person in question experiences a change like one of those listed above and then suddenly goes back to acting like their old self, this is not a sign that they have suddenly fixed all of their problems and are back to normal. A drastic change back to a seemingly happy state may signal that somebody has "made up their mind" about committing suicide and is now at peace with the idea, granting them this outward happiness.
- An unexpected swing towards happiness should not alone be seen as a sign that times of trouble are over. If this does occur, you should still monitor their sleeping and eating habits, talk to those around them, and keep an eye to the ground. Better to be safe than sorry.
Part 2 of 3: Looking for Background Clues
1Check whether the person in question has a mental or emotional disorder. In fact, it's reported that 90% of suicide cases are linked to depression or other mental illness.[6] If you think someone close to you is suicidal, find out whether s/he has depression or another depressive disorder like PTSD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, paranoia, borderline personality disorder, etc. Mental disorders are one of the most frequently cited risk factors for suicide.[1] If the person in question has one of these types of disorders, it's important to act fast.
- Keep in mind that just because the vast majority of people who commit suicide have a mental disorder, it does not mean that the vast majority of people with mental disorders attempt suicide. Mental disease can be a contributing factor, but it is far from the only factor that can lead someone to suicide.
2Look to the person in question's history and family. If the person has tried to commit suicide before, they are at an increased risk of trying again. If s/he has a family history of attempted or actual suicide, they are also at increased risk. [1] If you're unsure, it doesn't hurt to ask someone who might know.
- A person's mental and emotional health can be partly determined by genetics, so if a person has relatives with the types of disorders that can contribute to suicide, s/he should receive help quickly if s/he begins to show signs of suicidal thoughts.
3Look for possible triggers. Sometimes, traumatic life events can lead people to consider suicide. If a recent situation or event has caused the person in question to feel very depressed or as if they have no way to escape their troubles, s/he may be at risk for suicide. The person in question's problems may also generate a "snowball effect" wherein small troubles gradually accumulate, piling on top of each other until they cause great distress. Common triggers include:
- Recent loss of a loved one by divorce or death (even by suicide)
- Loss of prestige (e.g., loss of job or business).
- Serious illness (especially involving chronic pain or exhaustion with no end in sight)
- Exhaustion of resources real or imaginary (e.g., money or credit lines)
- Other highly stressful life events, including relationship conflict, bullying, abuse or harassment
4Look into other correlations, too. Certain lifestyles and means of living can lead to suicidal behavior as well. If you don't think any of the above factors are at play, consider the following factors as a red flag:[7]
- Keeping firearms in the home
- Easy access to lethal drugs
- Incarceration
- Exposure to the suicidal behavior of others
Part 3 of 3: Getting Help
1Refer the suicidal person to professional help quickly. Once you have determined that the person in question is most likely suicidal, take immediate action. Talk to them, support them, and, most importantly, refer them to a suicide hotline (see tips), and/or a counselor or therapist for further help. You may also want to notify his or her parents, guardians, or loved ones so that they can be involved in the effort to save this person.
- Preventing a suicide is sometimes a matter of days or even hours – the quicker you can give this person the help s/he needs, the better. By being there for this person and leading him or her to qualified professional help, you can prevent a suicide and save a life.
2Remove the lethal means in their home. If the person has access to firearms, drugs, or any other lethal means, get rid of it/them automatically. They could be the instigator or they could end being the means – either way, get them out.
- If you can't get them out, consider getting the person out. If they're stuck in a negative environment that is risking their life, do your best to find a safer alternative for them.
- If they're a cutter, see what you can do about removing sharp objects from their home. It's a tall order, but everything you do helps.
3Know that not everyone shows obvious signs. Around 25% of suicide victims may show no significant signs at all.[1] Others will only show a few subtle signs. Be very observant of people at risk for suicide (like people who have just experienced extreme trauma, people with substance abuse problems, and people with a history of mental illness) so that you can pick up on any signs they do display.
- What's more, signs vary by age.[8] Older persons will seem in more in a I'm-ready-to-pass stage and younger persons will seem more filled with teen angst, in general. Some go out with a flicker, some with a boom. It all depends on the person.
4Try to empathize. A person who is contemplating suicide may feel hopeless or helpless. S/he will likely feel excessive guilt or shame (often about whatever triggered their decline into depression). They may feel anger towards themselves or something/someone they feel has caused their problems, and may seek revenge. They may be confused about exactly what is going on in their head, and scared of their own emotions. They usually have a "wall" around themselves due to feeling of fear or distrust of others, which can make it extremely difficult to let someone in.
- Try your best to understand how this depressed individual feels. Never chastise, insult, or react with anger towards a suicidal person.
- Let them know you're concerned. This is fine. You can be honest with them – they should be able to appreciate your concern.
5Call a suicide hotline. Even if you just need to know what to do, a suicide hotline can help. They can get you through the situation or direct you to take further, more serious action. They are connected to doctors and counselors nationwide that can help, too.
- In the US, that number is 800-SUICIDE (800-784-2433) or 800-273-TALK (800-273-8255) [9]
- In the UK, that number is 08457 90 90 90[10]
- However, in an emergency, call 911, or your country's emergency services. Suicide is a very valid reason to get a hospital and a team of doctors involved.

product development?
- Understand that every person, and every depression, is different. There's a reason this article uses words like "probably" and "likely." it's impossible to tell exactly how a suicidal person will act. They may do the exact opposite of what this article details, depending on what's going on in their head.
- Don't wait for someone to just walk up to you and say "I want to kill myself". Most people who are planning to commit suicide never tell anybody – in words, at least. You have to identify the signs and confront and support them to get them to truly open up to you.
- Try reading and doing your own research to gain a better understanding of how suicidal feelings come about and can be stopped.
- For teens and young adults dealing with a suicidal friend or their own suicidal feelings, a very helpful, interesting book to read is Thirteen Reasons Why, by Jay Asher. It tells the story of a girl who committed suicide, through a series of audiotapes she recorded before she died, from the point of view of someone she left behind. It is one of the best books on the sensitive subject of suicide ever written for that age group, and offers valuable insight into the mind of a suicidal teenager that any young person can relate to.
- Try to make the person in question feel like you are someone they can confide in, no matter how "small" or "temporary" the problem might be.
- Keep in mind that the highest potential for suicide is not when a person has hit rock bottom, but when they're just starting to "get better."
- For young adults or others dealing with suicidal feelings or depression, Ned Vizzini's "It's Kind of a Funny Story" might be an interesting read. It deals with the story of a teenager being institutionalized, and learning about both himself and others.
- Remember, at that period of time, it's not about you. It's about that person who is suicidal. If you're going through the same problem but you're not as in need of help at that time, being capable and strong, just focus on that person.
- A person who certainly is going to commit suicide may act rude or violent if you try to confront or stop them. Be prepared for possible reactions before you talk to them.
- Don't feel like mentioning suicide to someone is going to cause them to do it and let that deter you from taking action. If they're depressed enough that you can see it, chances are, they've already thought about it.
- Some people just can't be reached. If you do everything you can and they still go through with their plans, don't blame yourself.

November 26, 2014
Durango, Colo. (AP) - Durango officials say sales tax revenue dropped 10.2 percent in July compared with a year earlier, the fourth straight monthly decline.
Year-to-date sales tax revenues are down 6.1 percent compared with the same period in 2008.
The city's hotel and motel room tax was down 9.5 percent in July compared with the previous year. For the first seven months of 2009, room tax revenues are down nearly 11 percent.
July is a key month for the travel industry in Durango, and City Manager Ron LeBlanc says the new numbers mean officials will have to consider more spending cuts.
The city has already scheduled most employees for four unpaid furlough days to save about $200,000, and open positions have been left vacant.

Question & Answers
Answer from: Ashley
Go to the ice island, melt a hole in the ground by enlarging the sun and setting a pygme on fire, let another pygme go fishing in the hole and get a swordfish, then finally: allow the pygme to eat the fish and it will get an ulcer.
Answer from: Safire97
In this episode, once you open the ice hole using a flaming pygmy, if you put the fishing pole near the icehole then pygmies will fish out of the hole instead of the ocean. they will catch swordfish instead of regular fish. slap the pygmies (sleeping and awake) like a fish then have a pygmy eat the swordfish. the pygmy will get an "ulcer" and die.
hope this helps!
Answer from: Hollywood
Go to the ice island, then pinch the sun to make the pygmys catch on fire. they will melt a hole in the ice. if they dont, go the the island menu bar and tap the ice hole icon. then you use the fishing pole to catch a swordfish in the ice hole and make the pygmy eat it
Answer from: W099L3$
Make a hole in the ice bymaking the sun as big as it can go so its really hot.then when a pygmy is on fire a hole will appear in the ice.then drag the fishing rod near the ice hole so a pygmy will grab it and fish in the hole then sometime a pygmy will catch a sword fish and w8 until a pygmy eats the sword fish and its nose will stab outta the pygmys stomach and theres ya information.

Wale - Rotation
Artist: Wale
Featuring: 2 Chainz, Wiz Khalifa
Producer: Travi$ Scott & ADOTHEGOD
Album: The Gifted
Avg Rating: 2.1 ( 16 votes )
June is already a huge month for hip-hop with 'Ye, Mac and Cole all releasing projects on the 18th, but let's not forget about one of rap's most misunderstood figures, Wale. His Gifted album is set to drop on June 25, and it's already chock full off features like any good MMG release. Today, however, marks the release of Rotation, a standout selection off the forthcoming set. Kanye-bred producer Travi$ Scott, along with co-producer ADOTHEGOD, gives the beat his signature pounding drums and the feeling of a dark backstage crowded with smoke, while Wale stays true to his lyrical roots even alongside polarizing rapper 2 Chainz and crossover superstar Wiz Khalifa. After reading who worked on this track, need I even say more before you listen? Watch for the full project from Rozay's right hand man to drop in two weeks.

Visitor, Stilwell, KS, May 07, 2010, 04:01
2 Answers
Answer #1alman August 21, 2010, 19:44Rookie
usually these gauges are place in the fuel tank along with the fuel pump. So your tank would have to come out to replace this plan on at least $500 to fix.
Answer #2Visitor, May 14, 2011, 19:57
your problem is usually the sending unit , which is connected to your fuel pump, which is in your fuel tank. there are not many places that will sell you the s. unit but they want
you to pay $400 for the whole fuel pump versus $70 for a sending unit. So you may order one online. There a place in Ca. that sell them call drivewire , real cheap.

Rand Paul's Right-to-Trial Speech 11/28/12Submitted by CSA1861 on Thu, 11/29/2012 - 00:59
On the Senate floor in support of Feinstein-Lee Amendment to NDAA 2013. Enjoy!
Senator Mike Lee on NDAA: Protecting the Right to a Trial by Jury
- Login to post comments
Magic Marker Time
It's magic marker time for me, I've got to mark over the "O" with an "A" and add the letter "D" to that bumper sticker, and also make that 2 into the number 6. Way to go there Rand. If dad doesn't make a run in 2016, I sure hope you do.
Rand Paul 2016.
It is so bothersome that our senators must now debate whether or not to keep "trial by jury" and "due process" as our rights.
Very troubling to me.
For all the crap...
Rand is the only reason this was ever even debated in the senate, you have to give him a little love for this.
"The radical of one century is the conservative of the next. The radical invents the views. When he has worn them out, the conservative adopts them." - Mark Twain
We have to
appreciate that Rand was a full time ophthalmologist just 3 years ago. His transition to the US Senate and tonight's speech is nothing short of spectacular. I keep thinking about the reports of his and Ron's talks at the dinner table about politics as he was growing up. Seems Rand was paying pretty close attention to what his dad was saying.
Tonight was a game changer for me. I feel the purse strings loosening and the donations starting up again like they did on that night in December when we all gave 6 million to the Ron Paul campaign in '08.
Peace, liberty and Merry Christmas,
Dr. Mike Vasovski
South Carolina Campaign Chairman, Ron Paul 2012
The SINGLE vote in the SC delegation for RP, GOP Convention, Tampa, FL
2010 Candidate, US Congress SC-03
Past Chairman, Aiken, SC County Tea Party
great speech. hopefully those that stand dont fall this time
and those that fell get back up.
A true flower can not blossom without sunlight and a true man can not live without love.
Step 1 - Defend the Right
Step 1 is to defend the right.
Step 2 is to use it, by serving on a jury.
What do you think? http://consequeries.com/
I agree; I've always wanted
I agree; I've always wanted to but not been called up yet.
It is easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled. – Mark Twain
what is naturally ours!
at ~7:38...
"we have nothing to fear except our own unwillingness to defend what is naturally ours: our God-given rights."
...my favorite part of a sweet speech.
I'm voting for Peace.
Rand at his best on the Senate floor!
(Even Rand-skeptics should be proud of this "right to trial by jury / fair trial" speech, if they really care about the Bill of Rights ;-)
i am a rand skeptic and i
loudly applaud this speech. give credit where credit is due!
Yep, Rand did well.
And I will concede that what he says on the Senate floor is more important than what he says in dippy interviews.
Love or fear? Choose again with every breath.
Feinstein AIPAC
Like most in US Congress, Feinstein is on AIPAC's payroll.
Feinstein's dubious presence associated with this notwithstanding, big YAY for Rand....Go on to defeat NDAA!!
Immoral funding of Military Industrial Complex by Federal Reserve and US taxation system must stop!!!! End illegal/unconstitutional wars! Preserve US currency!
So did they vote ?
How did it come out ? Who was for and against ?
The Senate will
debate on the amendment today and vote on it either today or tomorrow.
Please call your Senators' office and urge them to support Feinstein's amendment on indefinite detention to the NDAA bill.
Feinstein is a two-faced witch!
She is the career politician personified. Someone who has long since sold their soul to the devil, without a principle or moral to stand on.
I wish I'd saved the email she sent me just a couple months ago regarding the NDAA. In it she was defending the indefinite provision, claiming it was necessary to "strike a balance" between ones civil liberties and their safety.
If men are good, you don't need government; if men are evil or ambivalent, you don't dare have one.
rand paul is mad cool
rand paul is mad cool
this was a highly mean spirited comment
which was originally directed at Katniss but has since been withdrawn.
Be brave, be brave, the Myan pilot needs no aeroplane.
Bump for front page!
Come on, mods...it's an awesome speech. ;)
"It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till." -J.R.R. Tolkien
"You must be frank with the world; frankness is the child of honesty and courage...Never do anything wrong to make a friend or keep one...Above all do not appear to others what you are not" - Robert E. Lee, CSA

Under Tesla's new program, lessees have the option to return their Model S within the first three months if they are unsatisfied. Scot Hall from Swapalease.com believes many will take advantage of an early out, but not within the first three months of vehicle possession.

Southern Oregon University - Comments and Student Experiences
SOU has provided so many opportunities to grow as a person and student. I have attend 7 conferences, with the intent of attending at least two more before I graduate (all of which SOU has sponsored my to go). I have gone to places Illinois and Canada to present papers, compete for awards and participate it legislative voting and policy making. I have gone to DC to lobby for higher education and student rights. I have gone to regional conferences to present research and meet famous academics like Philip Zimbardo.
I have been apart in research within the psychology department. I have even worked on a publication with a professor and two other students. I have been given the freedom to create my own research projects with the support of multiple professors.
I have had my opinions challenged and enhanced by the liberal arts style. I have take biology, gender studies, queer theory, psychology, political science, interviewing and listening, and history classes. All of which have prepared me for the real world. I have a solid three paged resume with at least seven potential letters of recommendation. Plus professor who have helped me find relevant internships with local organizations to give me real world experiences.
Obvisouly, I could go on and on about what Southern Oregon has given me as a student and person. I would have never had these opportunities if I went to a large school with 100+ student classes, an under active student life or a school in a community disconnected from the academic environment. My classes are small, my professors know my full name, where I come from and what I want to do. The professional staff offer to help me prepare for job interviews without me even having to ask.
I am know applying to Masters and PhD programs. SOU is the perfect place to get an education that is dedicated to your success.

LONDON: Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger could launch a January transfer window raid to keep the Gunners' Premier League title campaign on track after inspirational skipper Cesc Fabregas picked up a worrying injury.
Arsenal's 3-0 win over Aston Villa on Sunday, inspired by two goals from substitute Fabregas, left Wenger's team just four points behind leader Chelsea with a game in hand.
However, some of the shine of victory over fourth-placed Villa was taken off by the sight of Fabregas going off with what appeared to be a recurrence of a hamstring injury sustained while scoring his and Arsenal's second goal.
Wenger said he was now pondering bringing in new players in January.

As the Kitchener-Waterloo branch of the Retired Women Teachers of Ontario prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary next year, it is attempting to raise its profile in the community by placing greater emphasis on its mission of giving back to the community.
"When we were invited to visit Anselma House, we were impressed with the new facility but found the family area sparse and, as teachers, we saw the need to put books on the empty shelves," said president Betty Lou Borho. "We are adding a new project of encouraging members to donate good children's literature, new puzzles and games for the children's area."
"The focus of our organization is one of caring and sharing among retired women teachers," said Betty Lou. "Over the past years, donations of much needed items have been given to places like Marillac or Mary's Place each year."
They have also supported other groups such as KidsAbility, Canadian Food for Children and Anna Kaljas Homes.
During its September meeting, part of the program included an introductory presentation of its first collection of newly purchased books.
The first group of retired women teachers in Canada, the Rendezvous Club, was formed in Toronto in 1937. In 1954, they made plans to form a provincial network to improve pensions for women teachers. It was called the Ontario Association of Superannuated Women Teachers.
"This was a bold and brave undertaking. In the mid '30s, women were not as independent and liberated as they are today — and these were retired women in their 60s and 70s," Barbara said.
"It took 13 years of hounding the government until the minimum pension (then $600) was raised to $1,200. To put that into perspective, in 1969 my (annual) salary was $8,700. They also achieved a unique form of hospital and home care insurance," she added.
Now called the Retired Women Teachers of Ontario, the group has 52 branches throughout the province. Memberships range from 21 to 366. The K-W branch was formed with 28 members in 1962 and had only 38 when it bravely hosted the provincial convention at Waterloo Lutheran University. Membership had grown to 110 by 1974 when they hosted it again at the university, then renamed Wilfrid Laurier.
It reached 230 as it celebrated its 40th anniversary and continued to rise until recent years when the number of members began to decline with the advent of other senior women's groups in Kitchener and Waterloo, such as Probus.
The group has been holding its four annual dinner meetings at the Walper Terrace Hotel since 1995, featuring interesting speakers and lively entertainment.
One of its most faithful members was Jessie Patterson (now deceased) who was congratulated in November 2001 for never having missed a meeting in 25 years.
Alice Bullard, 102, who served on the executive as social and goodwill convener in the 1970s, is now its oldest member.
Good fellowship is strongly promoted at its meetings and with social outings including trips throughout the province to theatres, art galleries, museums, botanical gardens, Waterloo County bus trips, a ragtime music hall and daytime boat cruises. They have also held golf tournaments.
Susan Hellebrandt, former principal at St. Joseph's and Sacred Heart Schools, arranged these trips for many years until the responsibility was assumed by Barbara Dunn.
Also important is its caring and sharing group whose member visit those unable to attend the meetings. They especially look forward to keeping contact with Notre Dame Sisters Helen Zettel, Mary Michael Psutke and Reta Kittle (who will be 100), now living in the Notre Dame Mother House in Waterdown.
"They also never missed a meeting while they were active," said Betty Lou.
All teachers who are retired are invited to join this group. Membership is $40. In addition to the meetings and social outings, members are also welcome to attend the conventions hosted throughout the province.
For further information, contact Betty Lou Borho, president, at email@example.com or 519-746-6209.

I feel like there are no actual words that can describe how AMAZING having our wedding at the Platinum hotel actually was...wait, maybe there are....'epic' 'best wedding ever' 'spectacular'...these are all words our guests used. Our guests...people who flew from all over (mostly Canada) to be with us ok our big day! The staff at the Platinum were almost too good to be true! Especially Kimberly Campbell their event coordinator!! She took over as the previous one left in May (who was also amazing to deal with) but she is an actual angel...I'm convinced of it! I am a 'bit' of a planner and a control freak so planning our wedding in Vegas and living in Canada was not what most would have thought was a 'good fit' for us...but oh boy was it! We decided on the 'all inclusive' package..ceremony and reception and it was PERFCT!!! Actually perfect! The food...decor....the vendors that come with the package for flowers,dj and photographer...second to NONE!!!
I could honestly go on for days on how wonderful it all was but I won't..I'll end by saying if you have even a small idea to book your event here and are not sure...DO IT!! You will NOT be sorry!!! I can't wait to go back to Vegas and stay at their awesome hotel...eat their delicious food and enjoy their amazing staff!!!
Thank you Platinum (KIMBERLY) for making our wedding MORE than we could have ever expected and in fact THE best day of our lives!!!

This place created a magnificent wedding. Kimberly Campbell, the event manager, was amazing. She went above and beyond. She took care of everything that I needed and some things that I did not expect. She was friendly with my family and friends. Everyone had an amazing time. I appreciate how the Platinum made this event SPECTACULAR!!! They were great. I recommend them. If your looking for a Las Vegas wedding without the tacky drive up feel or casinos, but the an elegant, intimate event with Las Vegas on the side; this is your spot.

If you are considering booking your wedding at the Platinum DO IT! I planned my wedding from Canada for 70 guests, all from out of town. They were blown away with the venue, service, food, bartender, and everything else!! I used to work in wedding catering so I was worried that I would be picky but the day of could not have gone better. Romie made sure everything was perfect, even sitting on the floor pinning up my dress when the bustle fell at one point in the night. I had the most perfect day and couldn't have asked for anything more.

Jamie and Romie were incredible. From the very beginning of the process we felt a sense of confidence. We had 60 family members and friends traveling from Tampa area and they were so flexible and easy to work with. We visited the site several months before the ceremony and were so impressed with their professionalism. We visited during the day and they painted a picture of the beauty of the lights of Las Vegas at night.
They were responsive even with the smallest of questions , even knowing the time of sunset and typical temperatures. At the rehearsal she assured us that everything would go smoothly and was right there for us. The ceremony was even more breathtaking than we anticipated. This is an awesome venue with an incredible team .

We had an incredibly beautiful wedding ceremony and reception at Platinum. Jamie and Romie were amazing. We planned an event for 85 people from San Diego... site unseen. Truly a feet, since my husband and I are pretty much the party planners and event coordinators for our friends and family-Not exactly control freaks but close.
We let the team at Platinum recommend and suggest almost the whole thing. We utilized the all inclusive package and it was wonderful. The vendors are terrific-Friendly, accommodating, professional and have a passion for their area of speciality.
The venue was perfect for our group... Lots of space if you use inside and out. The view is awesome, especially at night.
Our guests are still are talking about the food, flowers, and music.
This was a second wedding- wanted to mention this because it is a great setting for this special ceremony. We were able to make it feel like our own space.... Not too stuffy.
We can't say enough about our experience,. Thank you for making our day a memory for us and our guests... Exactly what we hoped for.

I would highly recommend having your wedding at the Platinum! They were nothing but wonderful to work with and very accommodating. Most of my communication with the hotel was with Jamie and she was fabulous. She was very fast at responding to email with questions. We had the use of the Misora space for a 4:45 ceremony and then reception until 11:30. We loved how the room was set up and decorated. The table linens, chairs, place settings, and silverware were fabulous and looked really nice. We upgraded the chairs for the ceremony but not the reception and everything turned out really nice in pictures.
We had an open silver bar package and the wedding stations menu. The food was very delicious and we had the best bartender. He kept my champagne glass filled and had a new drink every time my husband walked by the bar. The hotel itself was great. The rooms and bathrooms are huge and it was nice to have the balcony and views of the strip. Many of my guests said they wanted to stay at the Platinum again even though it is not on the strip. The non gaming and smoking was really nice too. My guests said they had a great experience with the hotel staff and that everyone was very nice and helpful. Roomie was my coordinator and she was awesome!!!! I did not worry about a thing all day and she made sure the event went smoothly. She even boxed up some food and put it in our room so we could eat later. She was so great, and I am so happy she was there to help with the event.
When we started to plan a Vegas wedding, we knew we wanted something that was outside but had views of the strip so our guests felt that we were in Vegas, not in a ballroom anywhere. They Platinum was perfect for this. It had the best views while being classy. Book the Platinum, you won't regret it!

I could go on for days about the amazing staff at the Platinum Hotel! They are so amazing I even reviewed them on Yelp PRIOR to the wedding. Jamie Madalena is their catering manager and currently acts as a wedding coordinator- and I can NOT say enough wonderful things about her. The valet staff was fantastic too- Jimmy is hands down fantastic at his job. And Ellen in the spa started my wedding day off right with her lively personality and a body wrap. I HIGHLY recommend the Platinum Hotel for your wedding!!!!! You can't go wrong with them!

As I read through the wedding reviews from the Platinum it is easy to see why my husband and I, and many other couples choose the Platinum Hotel for their special day. I planned our whole wedding and ceremony from a far in Canada and it was so easy and exceeded my expectations. The staff were fantastic, the food was magnificent and the venues were awesome. We were suppose to have our ceremony by the poolside but mother nature had another plan, so Jamie and the Staff at the Platinum quickly jumped into plan B, the Misora Ballroom was the new ceremony venue. It was fantastic, no one was the wiser that the ceremony was suppose to be outside. The reception in the Kil@wat restaurant was perfect and by the time dancing started the skies had cleared and we utilized the poolside. A majority of our guest had travelled from Australia and Canada, and everyone of them loved the hotel itself. We stayed for a week duration, before and after the wedding, and the relaxing atmosphere of the Platinum with it's close location to the 'Hussle and Bussle' of the Strip was perfect. Even the bar staff in the Stir Lounge looked after our every need. With the Happy Hour prices, we organized tapas and drinks for friends and family the night before the wedding and Bar Staff quickly brought in a serving table and looked after our guest. It was the best. I would not hesitate to recommend The Platinum Hotel to anyone for their Special Day or just a great Vegas hotel alternative. Thanks agin Jamie and the Platinum Staff.

This is an amazing wedding venue. The views over Vegas are truly great but the staff that work there make it go above and beyond other venues. We travelled from the UK to get married in Vegas so picked the venue purely through internet photos and reviews. From the point of first contact with Jaime she was so quick to respond to all my emails. It was this that sold me on the venue and even after taking my deposit Jamie was just as prompt to respond. Jamie you must be checking your emails 24/7!!!!!!!
We booked The Misora Room and the planning of the wedding was stress free and easy. We booked the package and all the vendors they used were great and easy to get in contact with and work with. From first speaking to Lubna on the phone she was great, she is a very calming and positive person. Just what you need when planning a wedding. So when we hit bad luck on our wedding day and got rain but Lubna had alternatives for our ceremony and reception. She stayed calm even when I was a bit on edge on the phone which calmed me down. We went along with her recommendations and had such a fabulous wedding. It was so perfect I don't think it could have been any better, even if there had been no rain. Thank you so much Lubna and all at The Platinum.

We stayed here for two nights in a Princess Suite with a Strip View, and did an "In Suite" small wedding and reception for 6 guests. The hotel even sent up champagne and chocolate covered strawberries! The suite was excellent and we got great pictures, especially from the balcony, all the staff was very nice and the rates were affordable.

We planned our big day from Australia and looked at many venues online but none had a view like Platinum. The planning was made so easy with Jamie and Romie there to answer all my questions, and there were many! All the vendors they include in their package are amazing. We only swapped out one vendor which was our videographer, we ended up using The Creations Photo and they were the best!! Our ceremony was on the 17th floor balcony overlooking the strip at sunset and it could not have been more beautiful. Our reception was in the Missora Ballroom which is adjoining to the balcony and again was just stunning. It was the perfect size for our 26 guest wedding. All the staff at Platinum from the doormen, front desk, bar & wait staff & wedding planners were amazing and went out of their way to assist. We did not have a tasting for the food but it was not needed it was terrific. All of our guest loved the venue and some have told us it was the best wedding they have ever been to. We cannot thank all the staff at Platinum enough for all their hard work in making our wedding day unforgettable. Do yourself a favour if you are having a wedding in Vegas, have it at Platinum!
