In veiw of the shortage of men in the borg, how
long do you think it will take. Lets say you were
A MS or elder. Just curious, no way in hell would
I return. A JW told me, since you (me) left things
have changed. I bet you it doesn't matter if you were
DF or you became an out right Apostate, you will be
reinstated as quick as you could say "new light".

Touching kids is the new way to the top but I don't recommend it.

They were fairly quick back in the day, based on their false exegesis of the two letters to the Corinthians, they felt that the scripture showed only a year or so should pass if the poor sap was "repentant".
Are you saying you could be DF'd on Sunday and re-instated on Thursday now ?

Chances of someone being reinstated quickly if they were DF'd for aposatsy - Extremely Low
Chances of someone being reinstated quickly if they molested a child - Extremely high

I think you will wait at least a year. I'm glad they made me wait as the time away from associating with them gave me time to reasearch their cult. I put a letter in after 9 months, they said no...I stopped going.

28 yrs ago it took me 6 months (of sitting at the back of the KH and being tret like a Leper) after DAing myself, no idea how long it takes now, as I find the idea of ever going back to the JWs as about the most irrational thing I can imagine myself doing.
All the Best

12 weeks is the shortest amount of time I am aware of and that was for fornication and it was her second reinstatement for the same offence but different fella.

They have clamped down on rapid reinstatements.
Expect at least a year of diligent meeting attendance, making sure you have lots of highighted colors in your WT and study books, saying all the right things in the JC to reinstate you.
And that's if there is not a personal grudge of some kind against you by one of the JC members. If the JC (or any one of them) was making an example out of you for whatever you did -- they can hold out for A LONG TIME and ONLY the original JC has the authority to reinstate you, regardless of where you attend now.
The idea of readmitting someone because they have great potential as an Elder is BS. That would mean you threaten their position of power as well (if you are in the same Cong or even the same Circuit). If you are smart, you are a threat, you are pompous, you think too much of yourself, etc etc. They can find the "reason" to hold you back.

Geez---there just isn't anything consistent. I knew someone that was df'd for 6 years for her first offense--EVER---and she went to every single meeting and constantly petitioned to be let back in. She even changed states, but the original JC just wouldn't let her back, even though she had letters from her current elders recommending her back.
Then I knew a guy that was out for his THIRD time, and was reinstated in less than 2 years.
Maybe if you have the right body parts it's easier. Not sure.
But yeah, for both of them, it was a simple case of sex with a consenting adult. Perhaps it would have been easier had it been something more predatory.

As far as I know...If they see the dreaded "apostasy" in the sealed envelope of the J C records - You can forget reinstatement for next to forever -

Depends on how much bending over and taking up the ass you can do in addition to how easily your lips chap, cause you're gonna take a lot of s**t and have to kiss a massive amount of elderberry bahooky.
Sorry, but we all know that's how they work.

Ok first hand recent re-instatement of a brother disfellowshipped for brazen conduct. was out for 15 years was attending meetings for two months applied for re-instatement. got it.
Elders told him that there is no set policy period for the length of time a person is made to wait....it depends on the person and when they ask to be reinstated. Meeting attendance is the number on thing, how that shows repentance i do not know!
Also rules have changed as to what they can ask you at a hearing apparently. they are not permitted to go into anything not related to the "case" and are not permitted to dig into any details at all, but concentrate on how the person has changed.
this brother now in his 30's had a 30 minute hearing was not told the answer and it was announced the following thursday meeting.

Made this recipe yesterday for a party. It was a tremendous hit. Easy to make and delicious to eat. My little tomatoes fell off some of them so next time, I will chop them slightly and try it that way. I WILL be making these again. Thanks Giada for another great recipe.

I like the concept of the little pizzas. I made the 2 inch circles then brushed with blue cheese dressing. Topped with small pieces boneless Buffalo chicken and cheddar cheese. Baked as directed. A ton of different little pizzas can be made at the same time. A hit for kids.

I believe my child's school is taping phone conversations or part of it without my knowledge. There is nothing on a recording or being told to us that the phone call will be recorded.
Under Michigan law, it is legal to record a conversation as long as the person recording has the consent of one of the parties to the conversation. The consent, or knowledge, of all participants is not needed. If the person recording is part of the conversation, then he has his own consent, which is all that is needed. If a caller hears a warning that the call is being recorded, and continues with the call anyway, that could be viewed as giving consent to the recording.
The remedies for a violation of these rules are limited. If you are charged with a crime the violation might prevent the call from being used against you at trial. You might also be able to get an injunction to prevent future recording. You might be able to sue for money damages, but it is unlikely to be worth the cost, since your damages will probably be small.
I also point out that your belief falls a bit short of actually knowing or actually having proof. If all you have is your belief, it is likely that any lawsuit you file might be quickly dismissed.

*#8 on Top 100 Wines of 2013* Dark, dense and very closed now, this has a tremendous core of crushed plum, linzer torte and blackberry confiture waiting in reserve. Ample singed cedar and mesquite, warm paving stone and black tea notes lurk in the background and glide through the finish. Features serious grip, but wonderful integration. Should cruise in the cellar. Best from 2016 through 2035.
(8/ 2013)
Interestingly enough, even though many of the 2010 Perrin et Fils selections from the southern Rhone were scheduled to be bottled right after my visit, the 2010 Beaucastel had already been put in bottle. This is a gorgeous wine, a classic blend of 30% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah, 10% Counoise and the balance the other permitted varietals in the appellation. Deep purple, with loads of bouquet garni, beef blood, blackberry, kirsch, smoke and truffle, this wine is full-bodied, rich and showing even better than it did last year. I still think it needs 3-5 years of cellaring, and it should last for 25-30 years, as most of the top vintages of Beaucastel do.
(10/ 2012)
Bright ruby. Sexy, spice- and mineral-accented aromas of red and dark fruit preserves and garrigue. Juicy and expansive on the palate, offering vibrant black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors, a hint of smokiness and intense minerality. Tannins come on late and are quickly sucked up by this wine's intense fruit. Rich and lively, with excellent finishing clarity and length.
(2/ 2013)
This is plush and seamless, a broad white brimming with apricot fruit fully backed with umami richness. Theres acidity, but its only perceptible in the juiciness of the fruit; otherwise it has the lofty firmness of a four-star-hotel bed. The salinity of its mineral tones and the toasty, nutty edge of roussanne gives the wine a complexity that brings to mind a great Alpine cheese. It would take a croque monsieur into a different stratosphere.
(2/ 2013)
Very dense and meaty on the nose. Appetising and no shortage of flesh but no heavy sweetness or alcohol. Really quite racy! Complex. Real lift and line through it.

Ref: LAU. Launceston Place, SW7.
Pretty mock Georgian house in the heart of Kensington - sleeps 4/5.
This charming property offers a rare chance to experience the quainter side of London - amid quiet streets and a cobbled mews. Many famous people live in the area – including politicians, actors, authors and even some royalty!
The house affords a fantastic location, close to many of London's most popular attractions including Kings Road, Royal Albert Hall and Hyde Park, which are all located within 5-20 minutes walking distance. Guests may even be lucky enough to see the Household Cavalry assemble in the street outside prior to exercising their horses (a regular occurrence) – for a true taste of traditional London! Your nearest tube station is Gloucester Road (District, Circle and Piccadilly lines).
The property is arranged over four floors, with a fantastic roof terrace at the top, and sleeps 4/5 people in 2 double bedrooms and a full sofa-bed in its own space. There's one bathroom.
The front door opens onto the cosy cottage style eat-in kitchen (13ft x 12ft, 3.95m x 3.65m) which offers plenty of rustic character with its eclectic mix of furniture and artwork. White painted floors reflect the light and complement the olive coloured walls. There's a pretty chandelier that hangs above a wooden table that seats four to six and paintings and photographs created by the owner's friends. The usual expected appliances can be found in the kitchen including: microwave, oven with gas hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, kettle, toaster and several cafetiers - there is no washing machine but there is an excellent laundry / dry cleaners located nearby.
The first set of stairs leads to a large open-plan reception room (21ft x 13ft, 6.65m x 3.9m) that bathes the room in plenty of light with its large sash windows and French doors.
As well as providing superb views of the local church spires and traditional neighbouring houses, the reception room displays yet more personal touches with two proud portraits of the owner's ancestors and an array of comfortable seating and stylish design features. There is a chaise longue, three 2-seater sofas, coffee table bureau, Davenport desk (owner use only) and several chairs.
For entertainment there is a TV with freeview channels, DVD player and an amazing stereo system with an iPod dock (bring your own iPod/CDs) which is wired to inbuilt speakers throughout the house, so you can choose to listen to music in the living area, the bedrooms or even on the roof terrace! Wi-fi broadband is also available throughout.
The stairs from the reception/lounge lead the next floor and the bathroom which has been decorated in powder blue tones with whitewashed wooden floors and a back wall featuring decorative wallpaper with pretty flora and birds. There is a bath with over-shower, a traditional shower, basin and loo.
The next room to the left is the small "guest" bedroom (9ft x 7ft5, 2.74m x 2.29m) which has a double bed (6ft4 x 4ft1), chair, small table, lamp, chest of drawers, floral curtains and soft-furnishings - continuing the cottage style theme.
The main bedroom (14ft7 x 14ft, 4.5m x 4.25m) is a light and airy room which lends itself to the two large windows. There is plenty of storage in the form of a fitted wardrobe and large chest of drawers, the room also has a chair, several small tables and lamps. The wooden double bed (6ft4 x 4ft7) makes a fine feature of the room.
A small door next to the bathroom that houses a secret ...... as the doors are opened, a ladder is revealed that leads up into a small study area with a two-seater sofa that converts into a full comfortable single bed. The doors from this room open onto an impressive roof terrace (21ft x 14ft, 6.6m x 4.5m) which is abundant with fragrant lavender and roses during the summer time. Please note that these facilities are not suitable for the old or infirm - you need to be able to climb up and down a 10ft (3m) fixed ladder which is at about 75° to the vertical.
The terrace overlooks the neighbouring houses and boasts magical views of church spires and Mary Poppins style roof tops - a perfect place for enjoying a chilled glass of wine after a busy day spent sightseeing in London.

Community. Commitment. Change.
By Mandy Seaman
The state of sustainability at Drury is strong. Look around, and you'll see evidence of it everywhere, from the recycling bins across campus to the paper this magazine is printed on.
But that's today. Five years ago, sustainability at Drury looked and felt a bit different than it does now. Even then, the concept of sustainability was an idea that many members of the campus community were committed to, but lacked real direction for change. In short, the Drury community talked the talk but didn't walk the walk. A sore point: there was little recycling on campus even though many in the campus community had discussed the issue for 30 years.
Then, something began to change. A slow rumble started on campus with the 2005-06 convocation series devoted to sustainability. Students, faculty and staff began more discussion about the impact that changes on campus could have on the environment.
The rumble continued.
Then, as that year went on, it built to a roar, and it did so largely at the persistence of one student.
Sarah Davis, a 2008 Drury graduate, got the university off the dime. She began a personal crusade that by the end of 2006 would eventually involve the entire university and kick-start what is now a campus-wide recycling program. She secured four competitive grants to purchase recycling bins, obtain large dumpsters, print promotional materials and fund paid student staff positions to take care of the growing recycling program. She recruited other students to get involved. She got the word out through campus publications, websites and community organizations.
She sparked change.
And by the time Sarah graduated in 2008, the campus recycling program was a full-fledged endeavor managed by facilities services. Recycling bins are located in or near every building on campus, and an on-site collection center makes for an efficient system. Recycling is just as ingrained into the daily operations of the university as trash collection, and students continue Sarah's vision of leading by example when it comes to conserving and reusing on campus.
Perhaps just as important, recycling - and other means of sustainability such as trayless dining in the Commons to conserve water, high efficiency lighting in campus buildings and the use of recycled materials across campus — are now part of the culture of sustainability at Drury.
Drury is proud to put its identity as a green college front and center. In fact, one quadrant of the university's logo features an oak leaf and acorn that together represent leadership and the institution's commitment to sustainability. Former President John Sellars and President Todd Parnell have both signed the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment. Our administration includes a director of sustainability. In April 2010, Drury was named in The Princeton Review's Guide to 286 Green Colleges, earning a spot as the only school in Missouri to be recognized in the publication.
But behind all of the environmental accolades and awards are the people that fulfill Drury's sustainable commitment. These are the faces of sustainability at Drury, and they include every student, faculty and staff member on campus.
The faces of sustainability include members of the administration, who operate the university with environmental sustainability at the forefront of decisionmaking. Leave the administrative offices of Burnham Hall and walk next door to Pearsons—or any other academic building on campus—and you're likely to find faculty who are incorporating sustainability into all facets of learning. From psychology to architecture, faculty throughout the university are teaching students to think green.
And speaking of Think Green!, Drury's prominent environmental student group, it is students who make up most of the university's faces of sustainability. Students helped make recycling a part of the culture. They bike to class, live in sustainable housing and lead others by example throughout the community.
In recent years, Drury has made great strides in ramping up its commitment to sustainable practices. According to Pete Radecki, vice president for campus operations and sustainability, there have been three major steps leading to the university's most recent triumphs in the area of sustainability.
"An important step took place when our president signed the College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment to reduce our carbon footprint," Radecki says. "He followed this action by appointing Dr. Wendy Anderson, professor of biology, as sustainability director.
"The third fundamental step was President Parnell's decision to link sustainability with campus operations," Radecki adds. "Taken together, these three steps convey a message that sustainable practices are valued here, and we as an educational institution desire to teach, discover and practice the minimization of our environmental impact."
According to Radecki, the administration's goal is to integrate sustainability into every operations decision that is made, with attention paid to design, available funds and time. Whenever those three factors allow for it, the more sustainable options are often the ones Drury chooses.
Take the O'Reilly Family Event Center, which is seeking LEED Gold certification. The new center was built top to bottom with sustainable features that include high efficiency lighting, cooling and heating, and a white roof designed to reduce the strain on its cooling system. Low-flow water fixtures inside the center and drought-tolerant vegetation outside help reduce the amount of water used daily. The concession stands will serve drinks and food in compostable cups and plates. The paint and adhesives used in construction and design meet the stringent limits for volatile organic compound emissions. The list of sustainable features goes on and on.
In some cases, though, Drury has found ways to be sustainable even when working with decades-old facilities and operational decisions. After a complete efficiency audit of campus systems, the university determined that the Breech School of Business Administration housed one of the most inefficient heating and cooling systems at the university. However, the financial investment that would have been required to replace the chillers and boilers in the building was simply not possible. The university found itself facing a difficult dilemma: continue operating an inefficient, unsustainainable system or find an alternative without the financial means to do so.
Fortunately, Drury's innovative nature came through, and a solution was discovered in the construction of the O'Reilly Center. According to Radecki, a common challenge facing event center construction is the knowledge that while an event center of that size must be built with the ability to effectively cool for a capacity crowd, the downtime when the event center is not at capacity is much greater.
"For over 99 percent of the time, the cooling system has considerable excess capacity," Radecki says of the event center's system. "Knowing that we had a problem in the Breech chiller, this gave us the opportunity to tap that excess capacity by laying a piping loop between the buildings and pumping chiller water from the new high-efficiency O'Reilly chillers to Breech. Instead of buying a new stand-alone chiller for Breech, we were able to not only build the chiller loop, but also improve some of the building controls and replace the aging Breech boiler."
These major facilities decisions aren't the only places where Drury's administration is showing its commitment to sustainability. In fact, it's getting more and more difficult to find areas where these decisions haven't made an impact. New to campus this summer were a handful of park benches made out of scrap tires. A new countertop for the Welcome Center at Bay Hall is made out of recycled glass and concrete. Two of the recycling bins on campus outside of Breech and the Findlay Student Center are made from recycled milk jugs. Many of the golf carts on campus are now electric, with much of the gas-powered fleet retired. Like the list of sustainable features at the new event center, the list of small but influential environmentally friendly features across campus goes on and on.
Jonna Shepardson, purchasing coordinator for Facilities Services, says that sustainable alternatives are always on the forefront of purchasing decisions.
"When making purchases, we'll gather bids on many alternatives, and we take into account the quality and value of Community and Academic Commitment all items, as well as the sustainability aspect," Shepardson says. "We are always including sustainable products in our bid process."
Those products include the certified Green Seal chemicals that Drury's custodians use in their daily work.
"Sustainability is becoming more and more a natural part of our upgrade designs," Radecki says. "Doing so requires continually keeping up with technological advances, and more important, showing that we value those who take the time to try to buy something greener."
The green streak at Drury proudly continues outside campus operations, into the classroom, and out into the community. Sustainable learning is tied to the curriculum to give students a richer in-class and out-of-class experience.
Classes in Drury's GP21 program, for instance, often include course projects that revolve around green thinking. In the last academic year, Associate Professor Patrick Moser's Alpha class worked closely with Ozark Greenways to repair trails and to secure a grant for even more improvements. Students involved in Think Green! took the university's sustainability commitment off-campus, working with students at Boyd Elementary to expand the school's recycling program. A complete overhaul of the environmental programs degree offerings gives Drury students more options for careers in sustainability.
And, according to Wendy Anderson, one of the houses at Summit Park Leadership Community began this school year with a strong environmental focus. The student teams that applied to live there for the current academic year were asked to address how their community service projects and their lifestyles would integrate with environmental sustainability. The strongest applicants were selected and will be competing with one another to see which of two groups of residents can alter their lifestyles to conserve and reduce the most energy.
Living. Learning. Changing the way we think. Yes, sustainability at Drury is not a vague concept. It's not a noun.
It's action, it's thriving and it's the way we operate.

Hospital supplies are often seen as a major source of inefficiency and excess cost, and materials managers are under growing pressure to address these issues. Yet time-consuming manual processes for hospital supply management create barriers to success.
When the bulk of staff time is spent manually checking par levels and tracking usage in various supply locations, it's hard to find time to keep the warehouse organized and optimize inventory levels – let alone meet the documentation requirements of increasingly stringent Joint Commission mandates and government regulations.
Filling last-minute orders from nurses who have run out of an item also takes time away from more strategic hospital materials management work.
As a leader in supply and medication dispensing automation, Omnicell offers hospital supply management systems that can dramatically streamline your inventory management tasks. With our systems, you not only improve staff efficiency and lower medical supply inventory costs but also increase revenue through improved charge capture and reimbursement.

It's been in talks for more than two years. But now, the sale of the county owned nursing home is one step closer to reality. The county's health committee approved the sale Friday. As our Katie Gibas reports, even though the full legislature will still have to vote on the proposal, legislators are optimistic it will pass.
ONONDAGA COUNTY, N.Y. -- It could be one of the most important decisions for Onondaga County. That's what county legislators are saying about potentially selling the county owned Van Duyn Nursing home.
"For the viability of this county, it's something we had to tackle," said Danny Liedka, the County Legislature's Health Committee Chairman.
Legislators say their budget and taxpayers just can't sustain the county owning Van Duyn.
"The projections for the next ten years are somewhere in the neighborhood of a $115 million deficit, so it's something that could bankrupt the county," said Liedka.
Onondaga County Legislator Casey Jordan added, "That's not factoring in increases in medical expenses, increases in salaries and things of that sort. So we're looking at saving tens of millions of dollars per year."
The legislature's Health Committee voted Friday to approve the sale of Van Duyn to the Upstate Services Group. They own 11 nursing homes across the state, including the former Vivian Teal Howard Nursing Home on Castle Street in Syracuse since 2008 and turned it around from one of the worst nursing homes in the country to a financially viable business providing quality care.
"This company, they have buying power. So obviously their goal is to be profitable. The county's goal is to provide great service. And I think when you mesh the two together, they're really the only agency that can provide that," said Liedka.
Jordan added, "Because they own multiple facilities, they have the ability that they have the ability that if a patient needs particular care, that they can send them to another facility to receive that care and then bring them back to the local facility so the family members aren't having to travel long distances."
Legislators say they've been assured the 500 employees at Van Duyn will be kept on after the sale. Upstate Services Group spokespeople say employees will be given competitive salaries.
The resolution also called for the demolition of the campus' S1 building. It's in poor condition and is full of asbestos. If the full legislature approves the plan, demolition will start in the Spring.
The proposal will now go to the full legislature for a vote on Tuesday. If they approve the measure, the county hopes to transfer ownership by next December. In Onondaga County,

Is Your Gym Giving You Pink Eye?
Gyms are a haven for germs and bugs, and this one has an eye on you. Here's how to avoid contracting highly contagious conjunctivitis.
By Guillermo Escalante, DSc, MBA, ATC, CSCS
You might be big and strong, able to bench more than 300 pounds for reps and sport a six-pack even in the offseason, but sometimes the toughest dudes can succumb to the smallest of villains. Lurking in every gym are bugs and viruses, oftentimes hidden to the naked eye on benches, dumbbell handles and water fountains, quickly passing from one member to the next, just waiting for an opportunity to infect you. Inadvertently touch your eye, nose or mouth and you become … the next victim.
There are any number of flu or virus bugs looking to hitch a ride on your unsuspecting hands, but the one that'll quite literally bring you to tears is a medical condition known as conjunctivitis (pink eye). And it doesn't care how big or strong you think you are.
Conjunctivitis is a medical condition in which the conjunctiva, the outermost layer of the eye and the inner membrane of the eyelid, becomes inflamed or infected. When the blood vessels in the conjunctiva become inflamed, the blood vessels become more visible and cause the white part of the eyes to appear red or pink. Usually the inflammation is due to a viral or bacterial infection, but occasionally the inflammation is due to an allergic reaction or irritation to the eye.
Common symptoms of conjunctivitis include redness in one or both eyes, itchiness in one or both eyes, a grainy feeling in one or both eyes, tearing and/or a discharge in one or both eyes that forms a crust during the night and may prevent your eyes from easily opening in the morning.
According to Glenn Miya, MD, a family practice physician in Claremont, CA, the best bet to avoid pink eye is prevention strategies. Miya states that gyms are full of microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses that can attack your body and cause an infection such as a cold, flu and/or conjunctivitis. The following precautions can be followed to help prevent infection: avoid touching your face while working out, wipe down equipment before use, use a workout towel to provide a barrier between weight benches and your body and frequent hand washing. Aside from following the precautions, exercise courtesy by staying away from the gym while you're sick to avoid spreading your infection to fellow gym-goers. If more people follow this rule the likelihood of spreading an infection can be minimized
Unfortunately, following these precautions still can't guarantee you won't get infected. When using a workout towel, for example, it's easy to use the same side of the towel that touched the dirty bench to wipe your face in between your sets. Attention to detail by making sure the same side of the towel always touches the bench and the opposite side of the towel is always used for your face is a simple detail that can help avoid the spread of infection. Then again, that means you need to pay attention to which side of the towel is which, and sometimes they look awfully similar.
Conjunctivitis is quite an inconvenience to deal with. While it's typically resolved within a few days, dealing with the problem can mean downtime from your workouts, and because it's relatively contagious, means limited intimate contact with your loved ones.
Taking measures to help prevent getting an infection is always good practice — not just for conjunctivitis but for those other nasty bugs, too. Paying attention to the four points above, especially if you use a workout towel, can help improve your chances of avoiding an infection.
Types of Conjunctivitis
1) May affect one or both eyes.
2) Viral infections may produce a watery discharge while bacterial infections may produce a thicker, yellowish discharge.
3) May be associated with symptoms of a cold or a respiratory tract infection such as a sore throat.
4) Highly contagious and may be spread with direct or indirect contact with the eye secretions of an infected person.
5) Bacterial infections are usually treated with anti-bacterial eye drops.
1) Affects both eyes.
2) A response to an allergy-causing substance such as pollen.
3) The allergy-causing substance causes your body to release histamine, which can produce a number of allergy signs including pink eye.
4) May experience intense itching, tearing and inflammation of the eyes.
5) Not contagious.
1) May affect one or both eyes.
2) May be from irritation from a chemical splash or a foreign object in the eye.
3) Rubbing or cleaning the eye to get rid of the foreign object may cause redness and inflammation.
4) Symptoms may include watery eyes and a mucous discharge.
5) Not contagious.

We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Hi everyone. My name is Amanda, I'm 20 and from PA. My fiancé, Kevin and I are getting married in May. He is a volunteer FF and EMT. I am currently in school for my EMT. Six months ago, I moved an hour and a half away from my friends and family to be with him so he could stay with his department. I lived in the city for most of my life and I am now in the middle of nowhere with no local friends. It has been a big (and not yet complete) adjustment. Though I don't regret it for a minute, I am still pretty terrified. I don't come from a family of FFs and everything about this lifestyle has been new to me. I'm still very much learning. And that is mainly what brought me here. I have no local support, but I know I need some sort of support system. The other FF's wives have not been very accepting of me, and the Lady's Auxiliary at our dept is pretty much a joke. So here

Hi Julie, nice to "meet" you. And thank you so much. This is the first time in quite a while that someone has made me feel like I made the right decision giving up everything I know and what I'm used to for this lifestyle. Him and I both work full time jobs, so between the fire department, school, and work it has been absolutely insane. Hopefully thought it will get better soon. Right now we are on completely opposite schedules, and it is very rare that we are both home at the same time. There are some weeks I go
|Sat, 01-15-2011 - 3:36pm
I'm not sure, maybe the not accepting thing was a bad way to put it. They just aren't really around. The majority have absolutely nothing to do with the department. And the ones Kevin is close with are a lot older than us, and
|Fri, 01-14-2011 - 1:10pm
I'm sorry you're having a rough transition to your new area, new life. Try to hang in there through this time period as it will get easier, but that doesn't help you now, right!?!
When you say the wives have not been very accepting of you, what do you mean? How big is this department? Are there any that are close to your age? Is there another FF that your SO is close with that you could go out on a date with as a 4some to get to know another gal? Maybe try the ladies one at a time? Have something at your house and invite them to it - I find that most people are just scared of new things - you being the new thing. It sounds as though you're in a much smaller area now, and new comers are probably met with skepticism......which is unfortunate. Our old department was very small and I know what you're talking about.
I would really try the one on one with your SO and another FF and his SO/spouse first. Get the ball rolling so you have someone to talk with.
As far as this lifestyle..its different for everyone. For every department. There are upsides, and there are downsides (which there are WAY more pros than cons). How much longer will you be in school? What will you do after you're finished? When you have your own network of work associates and friends....it will get easier.
Hope this helps some. Let us know what you decide to do about a get together or a date to meet some new people.

I mentioned in my most recent post the value of having an accountability partner (a.k.a. coach). A great coach pushes you, challenges you and doesn't let you off the hook easily. Why? Because they care about you and they know you have more in you than you might ever see.
I've been lucky enough to work with a brillant coach who challenges me to figure out how get things done with what I've got. You see, I'm what you might call a recovering perfectionist. I USED to be a perfectionist, but am no longer. You know the perfectionist type, right? They say "I'll do XYZ but only when the circumstances are just right". But the problem is, the circumstances, situation, etc. are NEVER JUST RIGHT. And while some say they are a perfectionist with a sense of pride, I've discovered calling yourself a perfectionist is simply another way of saying you are a major procrastinator. Sure, you care about your craft and you care about doing things well, but as mentor Carrie Wilkerson says, done trumps perfection every time. Forget perfect and shoot for done.
Many of my clients are like how I used to be, they care deeply about what they do, but they often get in their own way, which is why we provide coaching services designed to help clients get started and keep going. Recently, my coach wrote an excellent post about asking the right question to get things done. If you ask and answer this question, it will truly make all the difference. Enjoy and start crashing forward …

Lacey, Washington — Members of the Saint Martin's University Chorale will
lift their voices in two free public programs of sacred music, poetry and
readings Saturday, Oct. 29 and Sunday, Oct. 30. The annual performances, which
celebrate All Saints Day and the Feast of Saint Martin of Tours, the
University's patron saint, will take place at Saint Martin's Abbey Church, 5000
Abbey Way SE, in Lacey, Washington. The Saturday performance begins at
7:30 p.m., and the Sunday performance at 2 p.m. Doors open 15 minutes earlier.
No reservations are necessary.
"The spirit of the concert is rooted in its collaborative nature and celebration
of Saint Martin's tradition," says Chorale Director Darrell Born, associate
professor of music at Saint Martin's. "As a joint project of the University's
Department of Music and Campus Ministry, it heightens the sense of community that
is integral to the Benedictine philosophy guiding the University."
The Order of Saint Benedict, which established Saint Martin's, was founded by
Saint Benedict of Nursia, Italy, in the early 500s. The Order is governed by "The
Rule of Saint Benedict," a set of values that stresses community, hospitality,
stewardship, stability, listening and a reverence for learning.
Saint Martin of Tours, the University's patron saint, lived earlier—in the early
fourth century. A Roman soldier, he converted to Christianity and left military
service. He became a monk, and eventually bishop of Tours, France. Saint Martin is
best known for helping the poor and for bringing Christianity to the rural people in
his area.
For more information about the concerts, contact Susan Leyster, director of campus
ministry, 360-438-4581 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Saint Martin's University is an independent four-year, coeducational university
located on a 380-acre wooded campus in Lacey, Washington. Established in 1895 by the
Catholic Order of Saint Benedict, the University is one of 14 Benedictine colleges
and universities in the United States and Canada, and the only one west of the Rocky
Mountains. Saint Martin's University prepares students for successful lives through
its 21 majors and six graduate programs spanning the liberal arts, business, education
and engineering. Saint Martin's welcomes 1,250 students from many ethnic and religious
backgrounds to its main campus, and 650 more to its extension campuses located at Joint
Base Lewis-McChord, Everett College, Centralia College and Tacoma Community College.

The Tercero Hall Cup is a competition between buildings that is held throughout the year at the Tercero residence halls. There is generally one event per quarter and the building who gets the most points at the end of the year gets their building name engraved on a trophy in a display case outside the Tercero area lounge. Past events have included scavenger hunts, iron chef competitions, improvised costume competitions, and a carnival called Terceropalooza. Points are also often earned by having members of a floor or building attend meetings and other events throughout the year.
The current holder of the Tercero Hall Cup, the winner of the 2007-2008 school year, is Kearney 4. They won by a landslide, but had some pretty fierce competition from Kearney 1.
