I vaguely remember Cuisinart as the manufacturer of the Robot-Coupe food processor line for professional kitchens shortly before the Cuisinart food processor for home kitchens became available. Or maybe it was Robot-Coupe creating the original Cuisinart and then changing the name of the company... I always wanted a Robo-Coup R2 to casually keep visible in my kitchen... It's what G-d used to puree rocks when creating the earth, and S/he needed filler, and is still, for my money at least, probably the finest, most no-nonsense, most durable, and most powerful food processor in the world outside of some kind of specialized, industrial setting, and has been for maybe 35 years... very little design change over the years, too...

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Jets plan to feed off fans, improve on middling home record
It's not any one chant or singular moment Mark Stuart remembers most. Not the fans belting out "True North!" during the national anthem, the mocking serenade of "Crosby's better!" aimed at Alex Ovechkin or "Silver medal!" fired at Buffalo Sabres and USA Olympian goaltender Ryan Miller.
All that can become a permanent deposit in a man's memory bank, no doubt.
But what really jumped out for the veteran Winnipeg Jets defenceman during that first season of home games at the MTS Centre was the buzz, that absolute rush, he felt when he pulled on his jersey, buckled up his chinstrap and walked down the tunnel to the ice.
And on many nights during the that 2011-12 season, that buzz wasn't dialed down until well after the final horn.
"It's the excitement, first and foremost. That's what sticks for me," said Stuart on Friday, not long after the Jets had completed final preparations for their 2013 debut against the Ottawa Senators. "As soon as you get out there for the warm-up you can feel the energy in the building. Any time you are at home and you get that kind of energy, you can feed off it. It has to help you. It helped us out big-time last year.
"There's points in a game where you need that extra boost sometimes -- you're up by a goal and you're pinned down in your own end, the goalie makes a big save and the crowd goes nuts. That's huge."
That was then, as they say, this is now. And if the Jets are going to build on the reputation that their barn -- the smallest in the NHL -- is a road-trip nightmare for opponents, then it has to continue into the condensed 48-game schedule that is the 2013 regular season and beyond into the playoffs.
In one season the MTS Centre, always packed with 15,004 fanatics, was dubbed one of the NHL's loudest and the Jets fed from that, finishing with a 23-13-5 home record. But for as solid as the Jets were at home, their record was just 15th overall -- middle of the pack.
Remember, too, that this team crashed and burned down the stretch of the '11-12 campaign, dropping its final four at home. And the start wasn't exactly memorable either, as the Jets were just 5-4 at home through November 2011.
Still, it was during the stretch in between -- an 18-5-5 run at home between Dec. 1 and March 16 -- when the joint was regularly jumping. And that's what this edition of the Jets wants to re-create night in, night out, this season.
"Our home record speaks for itself. We're pretty confident in that," said Evander Kane. "If you look at the end of our schedule, even though I don't like to look too far ahead, we play seven of our last nine games at home so if we can give ourselves a chance for the first 30 games of the season, coming into those last 10 games, we're feeling pretty confident.
"(Saturday's) Game 1 and it's going to be very important to start off with a win."
Understandably, the Jets' horrible road record last year -- a 14-22-5 mark that was 27th overall -- became one of the team's obvious flaws often discussed in the season-ending autopsies.
But with room to grow at home as well, the Jets see an obvious route to a post-season berth.
The carrot dangling in front of them? Just imagine what the MTS Centre might be like for a meaningful game in late April.
"You can't really explain what it's like for a game here," said Chris Thorburn. "I just say, you have to come to a game. It's crazy. The atmosphere is something that you just can't explain.
"My best buddy back home, my friends, even my family, they ask me about it, they want to know what it's like. You can maybe get a feel for it on TV, but unless you're in the stands, taking part in all the chants, you're not experiencing it. I tell them if you have a chance to do it, it's definitely something they should check out.
"And it's something we want to continue this year."

Carnegie Learning, creators of fully integrated technology and text-based math curricula called the Cognitive Tutor, invites schools nationwide to take the Carnegie Challenge this fall. The Carnegie Challenge (online at www.carnegielearning.com/directlinks/fallchallenge04) allows school districts to implement any of the Cognitive Tutor math curricula into their classrooms for six weeks at no cost, for up to 30 students per school. The curricula blend technology and cognitive science to help teach math. The Cognitive Tutor uses real-world scenarios in the form of word problems coupled with "smart" tutor software, which tracks students' skills and customizes learning.
In additional news, The Reliability Group, a Florida-based consulting organization, has released a report funded by Miami-Dade County Public Schools which demonstrates that Cognitive Tutor Algebra I students achieve higher FCAT scores than students in other algebra programs. The study shows statistically significant gains in scores for all Cognitive Tutor students. The report can be accessed online at http://relgroup.net/cognitive.html.

Founded in 1922 by Louis Gwirtzman, Advance Optical started as a supply house operating out of a back bedroom. Two years later, Lous brother Sam joined the company selling frames and stock lenses. Sensing opportunity, sometime during the 1930s, a laboratory was added and a branch laboratory was opened in Buffalo.
During the 1940s, Louis commuted from Rochester and managed the Buffalo branch while Sam ran Rochester. Greyhound Express was the link between the two branches. The brothers worked seven days a week and established a reputation for quality work. It was truly a family operation. Morley Gwirtzman (Sams son), the present head of the company, had worked as errand boy, in the mail room and at a variety of other jobs from the time he was eight. Morley, with no interest in the optical business, graduated from the University of Michigan in Business Administration and immediately left for New York to work in the advertising field. A year later his father called with news that Louis was going in the hospital, asking him to come home to Rochester to help out while Lou was recuperating, promising it would just be for the summer. That was 1961 and Morley never returned to New York City.
The family had a tradition of spending Sunday at the office. Morley and his sister would fold mailing boxes or do whatever else was needed while their mother and father opened mail and lined up jobs for Monday. Following that, Sam took them all out to dinner. The company continued selling frames and lenses along with laboratory service and frames continue as an important part of the companys business in the 90s.
During the 40s and 50s, when Kryptoks were the most-used bifocal, Advance maintained a large inventory of blanks. Morley remembers his Dad saying, One thing you can be sure of, Morley. Kryptoks will never go out of style!
The Buffalo office was sold to a branch employee named Frank Woodward in the 60s. It became the present Franwall Optical. Shortly after, Louis retired. Late in the 1960s, Sam became ill and Morley took over direction of the company and Morleys sister Ann joined the company.
The company has always been deeply involved in frame sales and Morley remembers the impact of the Cambridge frame. For at least six months, sales were so heavy, factory back orders were a common event. Advance determined not to run out and during the peak years of Cambridge sales, the company kept a years inventory of that frame on hand. Their first designer line was Sophia Loren and Advance did more business with Zyloware in the month after it came out than they had in years previously. With Artcraft as a neighbor in Rochester, Advance has distributed Artcraft products for years. Artcraft is celebrating their 75th anniversary as Advance celebrates their 72nd year.
Anns husband, Arthur Kolko, joined the company in the 70s. With a computer background, Arthur had the job of expanding the lab and bringing them into the computer age. The company had occupied four different locations through the years in downtown Rochester. In 1982, the main Rochester post office moved out of the downtown area and Advance Optical followed and built a new facility a mile from the new post office. Morley and Anns sister Honi Lang also joined the family business. Morley, Ann and Honi each have children working at the company as they grew up. None has shown any sign of wanting an optical career but Morley keeps remembering that 33 years ago, he also had no interest in optical.
Today, Advances lab is completely modernized and still carries a wide range of frames and accessories. They are open 12 hours a day and on Saturdays during the winter months, continuing the tradition of quality and service backed by the familys philosophy. The only difference today is the family no longer spends Sundays at the office.

An awesome poem by the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda
Because of you, in gardens of blossoming flowers I ache from the
perfumes of spring.
I have forgotten your face, I no longer remember your hands;
how did your lips feel on mine?
Because of you, I love the white statues drowsing in the parks,
the white statues that have neither voice nor sight.
I have forgotten your voice, your happy voice; I have forgotten
your eyes.
Like a flower to its perfume, I am bound to my vague memory of
you. I live with pain that is like a wound; if you touch me, you will
do me irreparable harm.
Your caresses enfold me, like climbing vines on melancholy walls.
I have forgotten your love, yet I seem to glimpse you in every
Because of you, the heady perfumes of summer pain me; because
of you, I again seek out the signs that precipitate desires: shooting
stars, falling objects. --------------------- by Pablo Neruda
This poem is awesome... I love it...it really hits home --
if only love weren't so painful just as much as it is beautiful

another new year.. I wonder what this year will bring into my life-- it seems like life has been on fast forward ever since I graduated high school, yet I haven't really attained any of my goals or dreams- if anything I just feel extremely disoriented and unfocused. I feel really lost as if I'm in a dark tunnel yet there's no direction in which I have to go- so I just stand there stuck in the mud.. I don't know- since when did things get this complicated- on that deep level huh? I mean I guess life is what u make it, but I don't know what I'm doing... I feel trapped in a bubble that I'm slowly suffocating in- all by myself.. I don't know...

Agitation of da chemicals in photo lab-
as i sit and contemplate on the being that I am-
I do not know what mysterious equations my soul can conjure during these 10 minutes but I know that I am who I am and I'll be who I'll be
I dare to think outside history and delve into creative fusion.
I mask myself in duality
it is in my femininity that makes me strong
and in my masculinity that my life will go on
I bid you peace and serenity, and actuality of being real
besides the spasms that my nervous convulses with
I will be me in all eternity.

Never sleep
Sometimes I wake up crying because I think that I am having a dream- more like a nightmare-In my dream I think that I was with you and that I loved you but then one day you were gone. And all I could do is cry and cry but no matter how much I cried- you were gone.
I cant sleep, and my life means nothing to me without you. Things that made me happy don't really do much for me any more. You made me happy. But I ask myself- why I was never good enough for you. To this day I have never been able to answer that question and I've never been able to figure out why you left me. My life's gone downhill because I lost the one good thing I had in my life. That was you. I guess I will just keep crying until the day that I die. I'll keep crying for my lost angel. I miss you so much. I think I'm going crazy. Or maybe I went crazy a long time ago. I keep writing letters to someone who will never get them, someone who will never know, but most painfully someone who doesn't care at all. Sometimes I feel like dying from the pain but then my body has no choice but to be on this earth- solid and broken. I walk around empty, with a hollow echo that surrounds me. I never thought a person could die of a broken heart. But perhaps someday that will be proven wrong. But why I keep hurting myself I don't know. You don't even remember me. do you know what it feels like to love someone who doesn't know u exist? it just may possibly be the saddest thing i know. sadly no one knows any of this and all i can do is bottle it up inside.
sometimes I think to myself maybe this is all just a bad dream- or perhaps i just imagined you but then the dull ache in my chest reminds me just how real it really is.

A wonderful day
I'm really glad that the end of this week has been so pleasant. Yes, my memory is all garbled- I can't remember a lot of things that I'm supposed to do or places I should be- but happy days like these are what make me rethink my view on life sometimes. What my view on life is exactly- well I don't really know but I know there are really dark days. But let's go over what was so great about today. I watched the directors commentary to Pretty Woman before I fell asleep- prior to that Marisol was over and we spent a lil time together and that was nice since I always spend time with her. She fell asleep on my couch but she went home eventually- and I had finally gotten my period. I never thought I would ever be that happy to get my period but once I had gone through that fear of being infertile later on- that was depressing. I want a family and a dog the whole nine yards-- and I want MY offspring.
Anyhow Bob was in a good mood, I feel that we have bonded and that he is used to having me around which is good. It takes awhile to establish trust and certainty in any relationship- but I asked if we can feed the pigeons again at Bayonne Park. Let me tell you- the first time we went there it was foggy and wet- today the sun was shining brightly and the air had that crisp to it that only the autumn season brings. The park was AMAZING. The trees were all different shades, there were people running around having a wonderful time- but the best thing was the waterfront. The bay or river whatever it is glowed like a newborn baby and there were boats and the entire scene was just serene and peaceful. Then Bob took me on a lil tour of Bayonne which was nice. I got to see a different side of the town as opposed to the view I had before. It feels like the other end of Jersey for me. I feel like I'm in another world when I'm in Bayonne compared to Jersey city yet they're right next to each other. We went to a bar that is owned by one of Bob's students when he was teaching high school- and all his pal's were there and everyone knew him. It felt great to see him interacting with other people- he's really a charming fella. Friendly too- We ate lunch on the bar and it was really tasty- and I enjoyed the time just sitting there browsing through the paper while he talked to his buddy. It brought back the memory of when I was a lil girl and I would accompany my grandpa Voltes everywhere from golf clubs to business offices and I was always by his side. I just realized that Bob reminds me of Voltes a lil. Then Bob decided that he wants to CASH my check for me. lol. I think he really likes having me around now which is good- I just feel sad sometimes cuz I think he is bored and lonely- I mean what the hell is a cat to play with and he has no one in the house with him. That's one of the few things that by culture I am so glad that I'm Filipino. I would hate to be that age and be all alone- I mean he has kids and they have their own lives but still the man WILL get lonely u know. People need a touch, a smile, to be taunted, they need that personal touch. A phone call can only do so much. So anyhow he was being funny today- then I went home and shopped a lil- then went to Times Square with Marisol's Mom Nilsa-

Chu is back
If I can sum up this entire summer in one word- it would be : ADVENTURE aka Aventura
It's been crazy- from sittin in Noel's car after the after party, to Julio and Tonnele Ave, to Chu, to Aliye aka my baby's daddy when I have sum tequila in me, to Prican Julio aka "i'm mad at u cuz u gave ur number to that guy", to Noel having 2 girlfriends and him being found out haha that bastard playing the fucking Dominican card I can't stand that shit, to Guiseppe yo wtf is a guiseppe? (bouncer), to Katty's love life- DAMN i don't need one- I can just live off of hers, to Steve not loving me any longer but it's all good cuz it's mutual, to Chu coming back from the grave ( jail time), to the Nationwide blackout on my bday, the video store got robbed 20 g's-
on and on I could go but I must say that I think I have caught up the 3 yrs i missed out-
Now I'm just not sure if I should pursue the thing with Chu since obviously the first time around it wasn't exactly just a "booty call"

But life thinks its hilarious by making everything so damn complicated-
From day to day I guess..

A beautiful album, a beautiful artist- Goapele's cd is breathtaking.
Sure perked up my day having found new music!
I'm in Fla. visiting the parentals- and as usual this town is boring the shit outta me.
I don't know how Cisco survives here- yes he makes his living here but I could never tear myself away from the city, now that I've lived in it. Yes he is slowly reaching his dreams but did it have to be here?
Every time I come here I get sorta depressed knowing that this State holds someone that has captured my heart and affections. But then it dawns on me that he RESIDES here -and I , thousand of miles away. I love him selfishly and I refuse to put myself through that torture.
So every time I come here, I just wander the town wanting to see him but never martyr enough to make the painful act of crossing over.
Cuz if i do there's no going back.
And who knows what the other side holds.
I'm past it, the whole Cisco thing, plus he has changed and so have I.
If I was able to get over Gabe , I can get over Cis, matter of fact I already have.
He lives his life and mine goes on.
With out him. Perhaps someday our paths will cross but along with everything else in my life- I gotta do me first.
But when will I ever find him? Who is him-- I have no fucking idea- but Prince Charming sure is playing hide n go seek that son-of-a-bitch!
The one to come home to, the one to hold me, the one to instill my fears, dreams, and wipe away my occasional tear?
Although I hold strong, I'm lonely and am waiting for that moment when I can love unconditonally all over again.
But right now- it's Ma Runnin Dolo-
It's just the way it's gotta be...

All I feel is hurt...
I feel sick, I feel like throwing up and I feel a hurt that rarely occurs. Why do I come back for more when all you do is mistreat me? Knowing that it would hurt me you say things- you yourself would grit your teeth at. Maybe it is my fault , but you're there and I'm here.
Something told me that someone's on your mind. So she's cuban and you seem happy, if you aren't and you're preteding then you're a bigger jerk than I thought. To top off a fucked up week- this is all I needed.
I hurt inside. Your words hurt me, your actions make me cringe, but most of all your smile makes me wanna cry.
I wanna cry like I'm 2 years old, like someone stole my lolipop, like someone pushed me in the playground.
Like I said before, it's better that I stay away because already you're breaking my heart.
She'll be the woman in your life and even when I come I'll be a nobody.
I'm always the girl that's temporary never the one to stay.
I love you already.
That's why it hurts.
That's why I stayed away.
And that's why i'll try hard to forget you.
I can't be hurt again, I won't survive this time.
I hate the way you make me feel, I hate that I can't seem to get over my feelings for you.
I hate that I fell in love, I hate that you know you got me like that.
I hate you because I love you.
Loving you was never good for me
no illness can make me hurt more than your words.
I hate that I feel so helpless whenever it's you.
I hate that I caught feelings, I hate that you live where I used to live,
I hate that I got involved in the first place.
I hate that you make me feel this way.
I'm just another check box on your to-do list
Love is pain but pain shouldn't be love.
No use crying bout it, i'll have to do without it-

Heart Beats
Um so Swain makes my heart pitter patter- i'm 20 going on 21 and I just said pitter patter- and no one has that effect on me anymore...
He feels it to- cuz no matter what after time passes- he still wants me to come see him..
He feels it to.. and it's only tragic that he and I are thousands of miles apart- he tries his best to stay away but no matter what he can never say NO to me...
just as much as I can't stay away from him..
Who would've thought he'd be the next one to steal my heart..
I'm just scared the fantasy won't live up to the reality--
After talking to my Lola I realized that Gabe is my Tuting(long story with that), and it's amazing how history repeats itself. But this time the young lady knows better and is granted the luxury of making her own life...
I really really hope that Swain's enchanted mystical magic story doesn't end as the tale of the evil whore..

I can't believe its already March- actually the end of March- my life seems to b passing by in a blur - only i don't know the difference when I am asleep and when I am awake. A recap of last weeks events well my real father died of a heart attack, I met Cynthia Rowley in the flesh and spoke to her, and Junito, my good friend Marisol's dad committed suicide. That was a lot of crap to take all in one evening. Add onto that the ulcer, carpal tunnel and the other stuff- i dunno- oh well off to work I go- i dunno if i should call white craig- missouri is going to the rally tomorrow- she's definitely cool. rocky isnt speaking to me cuz i turned him down. and roberto a la civic was digging me as I was. so i wasnt imagining stuff when I felt something in the air- any how gotta get dressed, byee

The Betrayal
Let's just say that just like in " A Bronx Tale"- Kayla and Matt have bought their way out of my life and it was an easy job... I'm not surprised that Kayla would be doing sum grimey shit like this since she is a nasty, dirty, babykiller who is by the way a fucking cow who brings nothing but misery ( I finally realized this)- I mean how can u have 3 abortions within 3 years?? At 19 yrs old? Just like mz.ex said- look around you and check out the people around you- do they bring nothing but misery? I get to choose whom I let sit in the front row of my life- Kayla isn't one of em- most def- plus she is too simple minded bitch can't even spell definitely correctly- but 3 abortions before age of 20? That is SICK- it's chicks like her that make me sometimes rethink prochoice- I mean yes a woman should have the right to her own choices since it is her body but to nonchalantly have abortions and use getting pregnant to trap a guy? It's completely disgusting and I am glad that I'm finally out of that friendship. But Matt, wow- I never thought that he would get that desperate as to "meeting up" with my ex best friend. That to me is the outmost betrayal- not only that but it's like he found a new person to nag, stalk, and "save"- The fucking loser is dying to be someone's hero- well it ain't happening if you're the weak one doll- First of all the kid has every imaginable thing wrong with him- he has the nerdiest laugh, is a geek by definition but most of all he is one of those ugly, dorky guys who aim a lil too high and always sweat chicks that he could never be with- Kayla and him are PERFECT for each other lol they'd have sum lovely DR/PR/Arab kids lol short ones too!!! Rob has been killing me- he is the bomb when it comes to this shit- cuz unlike sum plain average Joe and Suzy- he has a personality- one that is not annoying- and he knows how it is to live the hard life- the one where ya parents don't just hand u shit and u have it way easy but sit there and lecture everyone on how to live life. Don't get me wrong I'm not jealous at all- actually I'm glad that Matt and Kayla have found each other- one is a drama psycho who talks to herself and makes up problems and is a fucking LIAR and the other loves chicks that have issues and is oh so dying to fix em. Anyway enuf bout those two cuz they aren't important- for all I care they could both get hit by a bus- onto more important topics-
I finally found sum loot! There's nothing like 80 bucks that you didn't know u had!!
Rocky has 2 kids... at 23? damn yo he started maddd early- too bad Italian and Rican too- but what I don't understand is why do all these guys who are WITH someone all like me??
WHAT THE FUCK- ever heard of commitment? That's pig style- being all flirty when ya other half isn't around-
First there's hazel eyes, then the guianese man who bothered me during lunch- it's like um dear fellow co-worker first of all I could be ya daughter- your son is my age and he's cute lol-
then there's Rocky- "so.. uh Chi nice ass by the way I got 2 kids..."
What the hell u flirting with me for then? Shiettt
Craig was kinda grumpy today but it's all good-
Well another long day tomorrow- my hand is acting funny I wonder what's wrong with it-
Oh yea and onto the most in the back of my head topic-
--- He's back in my thoughts again... I dunno why but I guess cuz it's unresolved and I still want him---
But I'm better off things being this way- he'd prolly only hurt me in the end... Or do I truly believe that? hmm
Working in the city is definitely dope tho-
My rents are coming this weekend- that should be nice I miss them - it would be so great if they lived here... I wish they did..
I'mma die from lack of sleep tomorrow..

He cursed me when he said "I'll always be the one you'll remember"
There it is
calling me, speaking softly to me, drawing me towards it, making my stomach hurt, giving me butterflies
Of course what I truly want I can't have- neither hazel boy, nor a breakdancer nor a Rocky can ruin ya steez- I want u with a yearning thats unstoppable it has consumed me and I'm in too deep- why I want you I don't know- I can't explain it- I thought I knew it all... after I was reborn... but everything I had written u erased and instead of writing that shit down with magic markers- my thoughts are corrupted by a love affair that seems to only have been possible in my mind. In my most erotic thoughts and my deepest desires never did I think that it would be someone like you that would have the ability to unlock what I burned and scattered in the past. I guess I stay away from you because I'm already in love with you, what am I to do if I tasted you only to be told there was a famine and I am to starve?
You got me addicted to you, your voice makes my knees weak and my strong resolve weaker than jello. All rational thought disappears out of my strength and you have me acting like a jealous cat- so jealous it drives me insane- yet at the same time I dunno if I wanna rip your eyes out for toying with me or to allow you to drown deep into me. I want to make love to you until I see the sun rise in the pools of your eyes, I yearn to taste your lips and drink in all and everything that you have to offer. I have grown to want u that it hurts...
How did this ever happen? Am I disillusioned or are my instincts honing in on what I truly want and need.. even if it's only one night perhaps that is all I need to cure my addiction- the farther I think I am getting with getting over you- the closer your strength attracts me like a magnet.. "Just when I was out, they pull me back in"
I don't think I can survive not only having shared my soul to you but to also share my body with you only to have just a taste of your kiss? I can't have a taste I'm a greedy ass bitch I want all of you. I am addicted to you and that is what keeps me away.
I have never had anything consume me that it has taken over all rational thought-
But as each day passes the more I try to place others in ur place the stronger the yearning becomes...
So what am I to do?

Wow yesterday my luck must've been in cupid's hand. First of all what is with all the touching that hazel eyez keeps making- I thought I died n went to heaven when he grabbed my wrist- he's driving me crazy. There's fire tween us and fire in his eyes but he knows i'm forbidden and I know I can't get with him... I think Imma stay away for awhile... maybe let it cool off a bit...I still haven't gotten paid what the fuck. BITCH GIMME MY MONEY - ha! then theres Ivan "Flipz". Man...his cologne could seduce Saddam wtf,guys like him shouldn't be allowed to shop near girls like me. and my mans went home n changed and got all jiggy and came back - breakdancers, bootleggers, and brooklyn crown heightz is what my day was filled w/ yesterday- Flipz was showin off his breakdancin pics and was obviously flirting but it's like sweetie im at work can't be mixing business with pleasure. I hope that this new job doesn't kill me workin 40 hrs a week plus school-
then on the phone with Tito- what a sweetheart he makes me feel like im so funny- im not- what's with the violent xgurl? sliced him w/ a toothbrush? WTF ... GABE is GAY- a HOMO, like's it up the ass jus so everyone knows..
Matt's still po'd- he keeps writing me these lengthy ass 'you'll be sorry" emails. I feel like telling him grow up and move past it and let it go. God i have never seen ayone take rejection so badly. I mean we barely touched the surface and he's wildin out- imagine if I actually pursued anythng- that is a can of worms i DO NOT wanna sniff or touch. And the boy went and lost his mind when he emailed the guiltless hoe talkin bout he is worried about me- WTF he needs t be worried about himself. And get HIS shit together- serving up huge dollops of advise that is unwanted- UGH now I know how guys feel when a chick is naggin them. --What a turn off-
My hand keeps numbing I don't know whats wrong with it- the new joint by Ja called Murder Me- makes me think of Cisco #2- but shit happens for a reason and I know better than to get involved w/ someone who has so much control over my emotions- I wonder if the porn thing actually came through- imagine if he was in it- OMG
About 7 months till my BDAY!!!!!!

Kayla's fatherless baby
I can't believe it... My friend is having a baby and the baby is half black (I'm NOT prejudice but her parents/FAMILY are) and they are gonna disown her... What a nice Christmas present for me...NOT- I can't believe it-
I told the stupid bitch to stop having sex w/out a condom- she's already had what? 2 abortions?? I can't believe this- she's only 19- that's not old enough to have a baby...They aren't even dating and the guy is a complete dog-I can't believe this shit...I really can't. She just threw her whole life away- there is no way she can go to college, work, AND take care of a kid...
Omg I dunno what to think... My friend can't even be responsible enough to wipe her own ass.. but a baby?
I need to sleep and pretend I didn't hear this shit- I really can't fucking believe this

My inner struggle
Sometimes I get so lost within myself. There are days when I want to run rampant,wild, carefree and to live the "good" life
There are days when I want to cry out against the evils of this world. There's days when I want to be a serious intellectual, nonconforming feminist, days when I would like to play up to the role as a "sexy" woman.
There are days when I just don't feel like getting up, and would love it if I could just crawl under the bedsheet covers and hope that the world, this dirty world we live in would just go away.
There are days when I'm happy, happy and hopeful that maybe these are just trying times and that at the end there really is a pot of gold.
But sometimes I can't bear my inner struggle
My struggle to be free, free of the selfishness, the dishonesty, and the fall of man's society. All over the world, it's as if morals are forgotten- no one cares- FUCK YOU- Pay me is what they seem to say.
Friends don't even know what friendship means any more. Silly boys sleep with each other's girlfriends thinking that if they do this it'll make them a bigger man.. It's sad to see the betrayal of friends upon friends, brother against his family. Why does it feel like the longer we keep going, the world becomes grittier, harsher, and cold?
There are days when I dare to dream, maybe I can be a painter, a designer? The next Versacci? A super soccer mom? I think not. The American dream- is that all that it is? Nothing but a dream? Rags to riches is certainly a great myth to those nonbelievers. But what about the rest of the population? Is making more than six figures a year what constitutes happiness? Who defies happiness? One person's joy can be another man's misery. Do I want to be swimming in money? That's not my aspiration. I dream to live a fulfilling life. One that moves me up in society. I am not lower class, perhaps I may be in the middle. But there is one thing that I know, I was nothing, I was nobody's child but someday I'd like to be SOMETHING and SOMEONE'S SOMETHING. That is all. I know I am special I have always known that. But I want to be a special SOMETHING and SOMEONE.
Sometimes I wonder why I even bother, bother to fight, bother to care, bother to love when it seems as though it is never reciprocated. People always have an ulterior motive and never show their true colors. Is it so hard to just be real?
What is everyone so ashamed of? Why disguise yourself into someone for someone else's approval? They told me my hair is not long enough, it is not light enough, I am not tall enough, that skeletons are in and that the natural shape of a woman are out. They tell me they are happy with their lives that have no direction, have no reality, have no depth. I cannot bear to just watch the sun set and rise daily to just settle for something I am not happy with. If I had wanted to give up the fight – it is the difference between life and death. Either fight your inner and outer demons and try to be a SOMEONE or just wither and die.

The Florida Highway Patrol troop that oversees Manatee and Sarasota counties has a new commander.
On July 1, FHP Patrol Director Col. John Czernis announced that Maj. Brent Coates will be assuming the reigns for Troop F, which also covers Charlotte, Collier, Glades, Hendry, Lee, DeSoto, Hardee and Highlands counties.
Coates has spent 26 years with the patrol, and has demonstrated his ability to lead during the past year and a half while commanding Troop K, overseeing FHP enforcement on the Florida Turnpike.

Pressing a button for a second time in sequence plays the spoken word, the sound effect, and then the word is spelled.

As closely as I can determine it, arguing for the human recognition – and human rights – of men, must, by necessity imply the subjugation and hatred of women. This comes from an attempt at rebuttal of one of my recent articles by the SPLC's Arthur Goldwag. Goldwag starts with stating the painfully obvious.
For most Americans, the recent mass murder in Aurora, Colorado was an unspeakable human tragedy.
The implication here is that MRA's don't care when people die because we're sociopathic monsters, or something. I should refute this, right? Make a grand and pious declaration of "Oh, no, I think it's a tragedy too!"? Or can I just assume that's understood without endless recitation, or at least understood by readers with a modicum of common sense?
Goldwag, (who has not to date denied that he is an anti-semite) continues:
If the story had any political dimension at all, it was guns and gun control (or the lack thereof).
Oh, good call, Arthur! It's the guns that make people violent, because without guns, nobody would have a murderous disposition, or be so anaesthetized to violence that murder in the news barely merits notice.
It's not the normalization of solving problems by the application of lethal force – such as a President who cheerfully admits to maintaining kill lists and conducting extra-judicial murder of Americans, as well as foreigners, using drone strikes. Its certainly not the ethical trickle down effect of heads of state flatly ignoring the law, killing Americans and foreigners. It's surely not that human beings, as social animals, are influenced by leaders who kill anybody they feel like, without pretence of due process, through the proxy of the military. Yeah, it's just whether the guns are legally available or not.
The moral and intellectual giant Goldwag continues:
But for a vocal few in the misogynistic online world of 'men's rights'…
How does Goldwag make the logical jump from advocation of human rights for men and boys, to hatred of women? From the "misogynistic online world of 'men's rights'"?
Well, he doesn't make any logical jump, he's simply invoking an emotional hot button, to let his readers know who the bad guys are. It's like playing sinister music when the villain of a film first steps into camera.
The posting of mine he was responding to argued the point that the social expectation of men in times of violent crisis, to serve as willing human bullet shields is, in my view, fundamentally unethical. I refer not to an individual's choice to fatally self sacrifice, but to our culture's prominent public ethic, reflected in editorials by the likes of Bill Bennett, Hugo Schweitzer and Hannah Rosin – who all variously held the self sacrificial deaths of three men as the correct and proper male role, and in the writing of those who excoriated men who chose to protect themselves.
What cowards, choosing to live, rather than throwing their lives away. What failures as men, eh?
The emotional value of whose deaths matter, and whose death don't, is evident every time a news-reader reports on a tragedy in which miners, or settlers, or workers, or any time people die, but are described by job title rather than the designation "people, humans, or men." Extra-special pathos is added to reported tragedy by invocation of "women and children" among those killed. These are the human beings we care about, because dead miners, workers, or volunteers don't tug our emotions, unless they owned ovaries.
"Among the dead were women and children"
Goldwag does get it at least partly correct, titling his rebuttal, "Men's Rights Activists Disdain Men's Sacrifice in Colorado Shooting".
However, his reading and my reading of that heading differ.
This is what I see: "Men's Rights Activists Disdain Human Sacrifice in Colorado Shooting".
See what I did there Arthur? I substituted the word men for an alternative word : "human". And I did that because I think men are human beings. But Arthur is right, I do distain the public cheering of the use of humans for bullet shields. Even if they're male, which means, you know, disposable.
However, Arthur's article is posted along with the sub title:
Posted in Anti-Woman by Arthur Goldwag on August 3, 2012.
That's the paint-by numbers emotional cue to his readers to something he doesn't quite get around to making any kind of case for. It's an assertion without even an emotional argument behind it. And it is so everybody knows who the bad guys are. The argument that men (human beings) are not of lesser value, or disposable due to their sex. Rather, men arguing for their own human rights must be, in this emotional landscape – anti woman.
No case needs to be made, no evidence provided, because this is deeper than reason or rational thought, everybody knows that men unwilling to conveniently die must surely hate women.
Although I recognize this ethic, I don't know by what logic the conclusion can be reached. Perhaps in Goldwag's view, human rights are a finite commodity and affording them to men means taking them from women. Or he may simply be pandering to the un-intellectual and reactive by pressing the hot-button of "anti woman" to ensure donations continue to flow into his hundred-million-dollar (ahem) poverty palace.
Interestingly, Goldwag doesn't attempt to refute or even criticize any part of my repudiation of the socially normal expectation of fatal male self sacrifice. He simply repeats it, listing his article filed in the category of anti-woman. It's almost like he doesn't have any rational or ethical argument to make. In fact, it's almost like he's catching on to the fact that the MRM is a human rights movement, and he's fighting on the wrong side. Didn't the SPLC once act as a human rights organization in the 1960's and 70's?
Don't let it keep you up at night Arthur.
Oh, I almost forgot, when Golwag types : " Men's Rights Activists Disdain Men's Sacrifice in Colorado Shooting." his use of "men" doesn't mean "human beings" in the same sense I understand the term. It's that darned principle of ethical universality I keep tripping over. You know, if the lives of one group of humans matter, then the lives of other human's matter in the same degree, without weighting or preference of ethnicity, religion, social caste, sexuality or sex.
Goldwag also takes a swipe at James Taranto, whose tweet speculated on whether the self-selected deaths of three men acting as bullet-absorbers were worthwhile sacrifices. The backlash against Taranto was based, of course, on the public assumption that compared to human females, human males are disposable. Goldwag called it sour and unchivalrous. Chivalry, of course, is the antiquated idea that male human beings are disposable in preference to females. Taranto's tweet was indeed unchivalrous, and that's a good thing, because de-valuation of human lives by preference of one sex over another is antithetical to any ethical or moral principal.
Chomsky states this simply :
…the most, elementary of moral principles is that of universality, that is, If something's right for me, it's right for you; if it's wrong for you, it's wrong for me. Any moral code that is even worth looking at has this at its core.
Like racism, chivalry is atavistic, socially toxic and must be abandoned if any consistent recognition of human beings is to ever be realized.
Of course, having already pointed this out a number of times, claims of female "heroism" will be obligingly trotted out by bad actors clinging with a fingernail grip to the idea that anyone rejecting the socially accepted model of male disposability is nothing more than woman-hating scum.
Mytheos Holt, writing for theblaze.com named a man who raced for the exit as a coward. Clearly, not a worthwhile man at all, because he has the sheer unmitigated nerve to flee from gunfire. Nobody, meanwhile, is claiming any female who may have saved their own asses are by that action, no longer worthy human beings.
The admirable Hugo Schwyzer makes the case for which most other trad-cons and feminists alike are too intelligent to give voice. That is simply that men alive today live under a debt, payable by their own deaths, for women who died in childbirth throughout history. This apparently inherited guilt is biblical in it's character. Schwyzer omits from consideration the millions of men who have died through history in provision and protection of women, and the total failure of ethical reason in positing guilt to previous generations of men for deaths in child birth. But Hugo is absolutely correct in his distillation of our mainstream's calculus of whose death matters, and whose doesn't.
Goldwag, after quoting my prediction of the media's excoriation of the man who fled the gunfire, also writes a conclusion and pretends it is mine. Attributing this statement to me, he says:
"Their sacrifice, he concluded, was merely a victory for misandry, the principled hatred of males."
Goldwag wasn't quite stupid enough to wrap this in quotes (Hello Tory), but It's most revealing that he not only identifies hatred of males, he calls it principled.
Let's never forget, it's not a culture of male human disposability to which I or other MRAs object. Just listen to Arthur. The objection to praise for dead men, and their use by the strutting media whores can all be explained away by invoking that ever serviceable boogyman: hate towards women. Or something.
So gentlemen, get back to serving, providing and dying when convenient, and then maybe Arthur will allow that your own self worth as a human isn't actually hate of who he thinks you should die for.
Also, this article was filed in the category of Anti-semitism, on Saturday August 4th. For no particular reason, except that anti-semites are very bad indeed, and it's a big red hot button to push.

Blurty for sarah.
|Sunday, June 22nd, 2003
| Thursday | Alright, I couldn't get a hold of my sister to hang out with James, and I didn't get ahold of Matt until about 4:10 and the movie was at 4:50. He called his dad and asked, but his dad informed him they were going up to his cottage soo.. well, that didn't work out. I got REALLY pissed because I was suppose to goto the mall around 6 or something with James, then Tessa's afterwards but my dad was being a whore about it and wouldn't take me there and then take me to Tessa's. Lazy ass, my step mom has nothing to do because well, she's jobless. After being pissed off, I decided to take the easy way out and have Taylor stay the night.
| Friday | Wow, woke up ass early to goto the mall. I'm talking like 8:00 or 9:00. Yeah, 8:30. That's the earliest I've woke up all summer. Anyways, Taylor and I met Alicia and Tessa at the mall, and the first thing Tessa said was some comment about how she's seen Charlie London's dick and it's "sooo huge". Haha, more on that later. Anyways, after the mall we went to the Plymouth pool for a while. We saw faggot Dani Gallagher there and I just about jumped her ass. Damn, she's dumb. Then... what happened? Ohh, Jimmy Hall, Josh Willey, Alicia, myself, Taylor, and Tessa went to Jeff ... I don't know his last name's house. Taylor and I left shortly after because we had to drop a bunch of clothes off at my moms and get the TP for our late night fun. Little did I know, my new cell phone was there! Sooo anyways, on our way back to Jeff's house to get Tessa and Alicia ( on the bikes, wooo ) Charlie and them drove by in his car, so Taylor and I took the bikes back to Jeff's house and Charlie came and picked us up, dropped Tessa off at her house because she had to go out to dinner with her parents, and then dropped Taylor, Alicia and I back off at the mall. I was like, freaking out. Charlie's honestly the hottest guy woooah he's fine lol. Anyways. We walked to Tessa's house around 7 or 8 maybe? I don't know, but shortly after her and her parents arrived. We went to Fairbanks house with Andrew Bobalek and Jordan Pena to watch Angels in the Outfield.
| Saturday | Left Tessa's around 11 or 12, came home and layed out for a while. Taylor came by around.. oh I don't know 2 and we went back to the Plymouth Pool with her mom, little sister, and her little sister's friend. It was really fun, but then :D Charlie texted my cell and told me to call him when I got it, lucky me checked it half an hour later. I called him and told him I was at the pool, and I guess he lives real close to there so he came and picked me up. Well, we hung out for a while. OOOO Boy, that was fun. He's .. wow, lol. Lucious lips and all. Full package. Got dropped off at my moms, mowed the lawn, went to Chi-Chi's with my dad, and Taylor stayed the night. We slept in a tent ! Woo, we bonfired it with my dad and step-mom for like an hour and a half, it was funny. We got on the subject of sex and I freaked out, Taylor kept talking dirty to my parents. My dad said something about turning the car off, or I don't know, something, and she's like, "You're not going to be turning Debbie ( my step mom ) off tonight in the bedroom, ow owww!"
| Sunday | Woke up around 10:00 sweating fucking bullets. Way too many blankets, tent not in the shade.. ahh. Taylor wasn't feeling good and got picked up around 11, then I went up to our property for the day. UGH. Boring as hell, couldn't text anyone or call anyone until like 7. Got home around 8, took a shower, was going to have Charlie over but one of his boys came into town so he's gunna chill w/ the guys for the night, which is totally cool with me. As of now, Alicia might stay the night.
And, that's how my weekend went.
|Thursday, June 19th, 2003
| monday | went to see Finding Nemo with Shae, Mia, Ashley, Brandon, Andy, and Taylor. stayed the night at Ashley's house. we took her scooters and decided to climb the water tower near her house around 10 at night .. she claimed there were people hiding by the trees and i didn't believe her, meanwhile.. she took off running. all of a sudden these four or five people start ROAAARRING at us, and we took off as fast as we could carrying these scooters. wow, that was scary but must have been a good laugh for whoever.
| tuesday | left ashleys around 10 and was suppose to hang out with my oldest sister, Jenny. she didnt get here until around 6.. we hung out until 9 or so and then she dropped me off at taylor's house. it was nice hanging out with her though, i haven't seen her since april 2001. at taylor's we got into a brawl with her little sister chandler. watched cruel intentions, used up about 2 rolls of film on ourselves, drank an ungodly amount of water and hit the hay.
| wednesday | my step-mom, debbie, came and picked me up about 12:30 and i came back home and pretty much lazed around most of the day i guess. it started pouring rain around 7 or 8 maybe so i decided to play outside. my dog and i were chasing each other around outside, and when she got tired out, and my dad realized i was wearing a light yellow shirt in pouring rain, we figured it was time for me to head inside.
| thursday | well.. barely. its almost 2 in the morning and im bored out of my mind. im actually starting to get tired, which is thrilling. i had somewhat of an emotional late night wednesday / early morning thursday. i randomly got really pissed off and sad about god knows what . so, i laid outside again for a while to cool off before i was a bitch to any of my friends. i'm suppose to go over to james' house today, but i'm also suppose to see a 4:25 movie with matthew. and i have to make a trip to meijer to get baby oil for when i lay out to tan and i want to take a peak at taylor and i's pictures.
Blurty for sarah.

Glenn Close's sister writing about mental illnessApril 26, 2013 @ 9:49 am
NEW YORK (AP) - The youngest sister of actress Glenn Close is working on a memoir about her struggles with mental illness.
Grand Central Publishing announced Friday that Jessie Close's "Resilience" is scheduled for release in January 2015. The book will be co-written by Pete Earley, author of the 2006 book "Crazy," about his son's struggles.
Glenn Close will contribute three "vignettes" about her sister and an epilogue. She also will narrate the audio edition. Jessie and Glenn Close are two of four siblings.
Jessie Close has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and has made public appearances with her sister to discuss mental illness. Glenn Close is the co-founder of Bring Change 2 Mind, a nonprofit organization with a mission to "eradicate the stigma and discrimination surrounding mental illness."

Microsoft Research Shows Xbox One Kinect Capabilities and Impressive Accuracy
If you're of the mindset that Kinect on the Xbox One is simply a more advanced version of what we saw on the Xbox 360, you'd be grossly underestimating it. In a TechNet blog post, Microsoft goes into some great detail to explain what makes its next Kinect so amazing - and it's not just one or two things; it's a variety of things. I'll be honest in saying that prior to reading through this and checking out the videos, I had no special respect for Kinect - but my opinions have pulled a 180.
As the video below shows, Kinect can read people three different ways. For starters, it can convert the person standing in front of Kinect into a skeleton with numerous joints, where even the closing of a hand will be represented. In the video, the person moving around in front of the Kinect is perfectly reenacted by this skeleton. Further, there's a "Block Man" model as Microsoft dubbed it, where Kinect can understand the orientation of your body parts - turning your leg inward, for example, wouldn't be oblivious to Kinect.
Also in the above video is a "Muscle+Force" model which shows you in real-time how much force you're applying to any part of your body. In normal standing mode, you'll be applying a little force to your legs, while if you raise one leg up, you'll be applying a lot more force to the other one. As expected, all of this is perfectly understood by Kinect. Finally, there's also a way for the sensor to detect your heart rate based on your face alone - clearly, the potential there is huge for fitness titles.
A second video, seen below, explains how well Kinect can gather data on someone standing in front of it regardless of the lighting. In effect, the camera will turn all objects in the near scene into a 3D object, including of course the person standing in front of it. With all of the technologies mentioned above, Kinect can easily understand what you're trying to do. In a dimly-lit room, Kinect will switch to IR mode, which renders any lightsource invisible. Even in this mode, Kinect's tracking abilities are accurate.
Helping to make all of this possible, besides the software of course, is the the "time-of-flight" camera, which emits light signals to effectively build a scene in its mind in realtime. These cameras need to be accurate to 1/10,000,000,000 of a second - this is speed of light stuff. Mind-boggling, to say the least.
Dear Microsoft: It wouldn't have killed you to release all of this information long ago. This is genuinely impressive stuff.
I really can't wait! Like I have said before I thoroughly enjoyed Kinect1 for what is offered and I am really looking forward to Kinect2. Knowing how it works doesn't affect my purchase because I know the bare minimum it will do and know there is more to come. If people think this is just another motion gaming device that isn't needed really doesn't see the future in this tech. Only a few more weeks...
Oculus! Get your S* together so we can merge both of these techs together. Super VR. I know that it might be limited to a kind of rail system at first due to the fact that you can't walk or run outside of the bounds of the gaming space, but the potential... First person shooters, free running, magical incantations with hand motions. Don't worry, SAO and ".hack//": your day is coming.
"Dear Microsoft: It wouldn't have killed you to release all of this information long ago. This is genuinely impressive stuff."
Every time I come here I question why I bother. All this information was available BEFORE the XB1 unveiling. Perhaps if you had taken a breath between bashing the DRM you might have noticed it.

When Your Child Won't Stop Talking
My nine-year-old stepson is a chatterbox. It seems that he likes the sound of his own voice. He is an honor roll student but this year, he is constantly getting into trouble for his talking. I have met with his teacher, both his father and I have talked to him, and he has been punished, but nothing seems to help. When we ask him why he keeps talking in class, he just says, "I don't know." We are at our wits end!Question:
I compliment you and your stepson on his excellent grades. Being a good student can be hard work. It is interesting to me that he is still managing to get good grades despite the fact that he is so talkative.
My initial instinct is to consider boredom or lack of challenge as the source of his chattiness. Could this be a possibility? If so, perhaps the teacher would consider developing an independent research project for him that would provide some challenge as well as a unique learning experience. Perhaps he could deliver his findings to the class as a culminating activity -- which would give him a captive audience. By giving him an alternate channel for his energy, he may be able to put that energy into a more positive outcome.
A behavior management technique that I have used with a certain measure of success is an incremental behavior chart. I write each subject or each hour of the school day on an index card. If the child is able to maintain control during that subject or time period, I give the child a sticker or stamp. If the child is able to get the agreed upon number of stamps or stickers by the end of the day, I give the child a small reward, such as a note home, treasure box item, or a pencil. By segmenting the day, the child can see his progress and knows where he stands with his behavior at all times. You may want to suggest this method to your child's teacher to see if she would be willing to try it with him.
This young man sounds very personable. Does he have many friends? Do you think that he is attempting to make more friends with this behavior? Perhaps he is seeking attention that he feels he is lacking from his peers. You may want to observe him in the classroom to see what leads up to this behavior and watch how he reacts to the responses of his peers when he gets chatty with them. They may be encouraging him without even being aware of it. Preferential seating near the teacher may be necessary to help him control his talking.
Continue working closely with the teacher on this problem. Together you may be able to help your stepson learn to control his desire to talk at inappropriate times.Answer:

dreading guides and pages
forum categories
O.K. guys, I reiterated to my husband last night that yes, I am actually dreading my hair, it was not a joke. His response???? You are too old for that. It won't look good on you. You are not the type for dreads. Period. For all of you out there that don't already know, I will be 42 in July. Before you start gutting my husband, just be aware that he is a conservative 52 year old fuddy-duddy, so have mercy on him. He didn't intend to be mean, just giving me his loving opinion. I would be just as blunt with him about something I don't agree with - we don't pull punches in this house! :)
I am sure there are people on here older than me (I think- you ARE out there aren't you???) So, what do you guys think? Can an older (middle-middle aged) woman wear dreads gracefully? Keep in mind, I am not a "jock", "hippie" or "woodsy goddess" type. I am more of farm girl - animal and garden geared. Sometimes I like to slop around in my farm clothes in the mud, sometimes I like to dress in the latest styles and go out. Can I do it all with dreads and not look like a 42 year old dork?????

As long as you don't go putting Hello Kitty beads in them its an awesome idea!! ;)
LOL - We don't do Hello Kitty in this house... All boys but me and the Chiweenie, Cujo - and I am more of a Tom Girl!
Dready Bear said:As long as you don't go putting Hello Kitty beads in them its an awesome idea!! ;)
It's a personal prefence with whatever makes your heart happy...leave the mind out of it and what others think..Your husband loves you for you..if this will help you express the uniqueness of YOU then Go For It..I am 40...and I am using the neglect method...Feel free to connect with me anytime ;) I am an earthy being and have lots of animals and gardening goin on here too :) It's all about Heart here..just feel free :)
I'm 56 and 6 months into my journey, do what makes ya feel good, I'm sure your hubby will grow to love em too. I think you're gonna look "fine" with dreads.
You're never too old to Rock n' Roll!! If it makes you wanna dance....then Dance!!
Sounds like your husband and my stepmom would get along well. She gave me her loving opinion about my desire to dread my hair... LOL-I feel your pain! I did some research for my self of course and as I came across information I thought would be good for her to read I forwarded the links to her. It sounds like your husband just needs to understand your decision as he is wound up with the many negative associations and myths surrounding dreading. My boyfriend wasn't too hot about me dreading at first, but through conversation he has now accepted my decision. And NO you're not too old! Life is far too short to be taken too seriously. It sounds like your heart is in the right place and like Dready Bear said-no Hello Kitty beads and you'll be just fine. ;)
I love that our members here cover such a wide age range. Proof that dreads aren't just for the cool kids. ;-)
