Getting Pregnant
Labor and Delivery
Baby and Beyond
Alot has happened over the last few days. I don't know if it was the trip to the lawyer's office that made it all sink in, but B and I realized that we love each other, and that we can't throw away what we have. We walked away from our marriage angry and hurt, and we gave up too soon. We didn't exhaust every option to make things work. We talked Thursday night, and all day Friday, and Friday night at 10:00, B called and said "I love you, you are the most important person in my life, and I need you. I will do everything I can to put us back together. Nothing in the world is worth losing you over, can we please try?" I broke down in tears... His words just hit me like a ton of bricks. I kept trying so hard to put on a happy face for everyone and act like I was doing fine, but inside I was dying without him. When he said those things to me, I knew he meant it and I knew that I needed him too. I can't deny it anymore, he's my soulmate.
We both did sh*tty things to each other, and I don't think either of us is any more at fault than the other. We got married young, without experiencing alot of life first. We thought we were missing out on certain things, and we just fell off the tracks. One bad thing happened and it just snowballed until he packed his things into a black suitcase an left me in tears in the bathroom. I have never felt that bad in my life. I've lost 3 grandparents, I've lost best friends, I've lost boyfriends, I've lost pets, but I have never felt a sadness that compared to how I felt when I laid on my bathroom floor and screamed his name. For a couple weeks, I cried every day, sometimes all day. I stopped eating, and when I did eat, I threw it up. Then I covered up my pain by going out with friends and pretending to be happy.
I can't pretend anymore. I can't talk bad about him anymore. I love him to death, and I want to grow old with him. I want to be with him every single day of my life. I want to watch our sons grow up together, I want to take or grandchildren to the zoo together, and I want to die holding his hand. I never knew how much I loved him until I lost him. For some reason, we were given a second chance.
Hi. I hope it's ok to post here...I would have PM'd you but my PM's aren't working Anyway I just wanted to tell you good luck on working your marriage out. I don't know your entire situation but I can tell you that I came very close to getting divorced this past year. My husband and I did things to hurt eachother and acted so stupid, It was the worst year of my life...but somehow at the very last moment things changed...and even though it has been some work we are working it out. It is completely possible for you guys to have a happy marriage and be closer than ever before if you guys truly love eachother. I really hope things work out for you!!
Thank you for your encouraging words I'm glad that you & your husband were able to work everything out and stay together. We are friends with this couple who has been dealing with the same thing, and him & I were both in the same situation as far as what happened to us in our relationships, and we have been talking alot over the last couple of months. A couple weeks ago, they got back together. Their relationship isn't perfect, but they're both trying to fix everything and they want to be together. They have really inspired me, and they showed me that it's worth a shot.
__________________________________________________ ________
Last night I went out on a "date" with B. He asked me to go out to dinner and then go dancing, something I've begged him to do for years. When I got to his apartment, he immediately started b*tching at me because my shirt was "too low cut" and my breasts were "on display and falling out." Yes, I was showing the tiniest bit of cleavage, but with DD breasts, I have cleavage in a turtleneck. It's not my fault. And I wore that shirt because its cute, and I thought B would like it. So when he started in on me about my shirt, I turned around to leave and he grabbed me and made me sit down and talk to him. I had decided before I ever got there that I was absolutely not going to fight. I knew that B was in the mood to fight, but I wasn't giving in. He griped at me, and I just agreed with everything he said to avoid an argument. After nearly an hour of him pressing my buttons and trying to make me fight, he finally gave up. We didn't go to dinner because he was too busy trying to start a fight, so when it was time to meet everyone at the bar, we just drove thru Taco Bell on the way.
Some of our friends met us at the bar, the couple I was talking about earlier, and some of the guys that B works with. I know them all & am friends with them, and even though B and I have been separated and he had been taking his girlfriend around them, they all welcomed me back and didn't treat me any differently. I fit right in, and it felt so good. When one of the guys B works with got there, he came right over to me and gave me a great big hug and said that he had missed me. I sat back down beside B, and he made some snotty comment about me rubbing myself all over all of his friends, so I walked away and sat by one of the girls that I'm friends with. B gave me sh*tty looks across the bar, but I tried to ignore it. After about half an hour, and once B had a couple drinks, he came over to me and apologized. He hugged me and kissed me, and I asked him to dance but he said no. He said he wasn't going to dance at all, which pissed me off because HE asked ME to go out "dancing" not sit at a bar with a bunch of friends and get piss-drunk. I was ticked. I told him that I wanted to dance and I was going to dance with someone else, and he got really mad and said he'd dance with me when he had another drink. Finally a good slow song came on and I was able to get him on he dance floor, but he had already had too much alcohol and couldn't even two-step without stumbling and screwing up. I was really upset, and that was the only time we danced. I didn't even dance with anyone else... One of his friends came up to me & said "I'd like to dance with you, but I think B would fly into a rage." He was right.
The more B drank, the more he said he loved me, the more he kissed me, he wanted me to sit in his lap and make out with him... He kept saying that he was having fun with me and he was glad that we could be together and not fight, since lately every time we're around each other we end up fighting. It was nice not to fight with him, and I saw the B that I fell in love with 4 years ago. He was funny, he laughed, he smiled alot, and he was just the B that he used to be. It's sad that the only way that he can be that B is when he's drinking.
When it was time for me to leave, B decided that he would rather stay and drink than go home with me like we originally planned. I was upset... I wanted him to come with me, I wanted to be able to talk to him. He wasn't really drunk, but he'd had enough to drink so that he was in that honest state-of-mind, and he'd lost his edge, and I wanted to take that opportunity to talk to him and understand his true feelings. He walked me out to my car and told me that tonight was a good start, but he didn't expect much. He said that he thinks we've said and done too many hurtful things to each other, and he can't forgive me for telling him that I hated him. He resents me, he says. I started bawling before I even left the parking lot. I was just so confused, I guess. He tells me a different story every 5 minutes, and I can't take this roller coaster anymore. I listened to sad country songs, sang, and bawled the entire 40 minute drive home.
Today, I'm feeling a little better. I'm bummed, but I'll live. I think the more I am away from B, I remember all the good things about him and forget the bad. But whenever I'm around him for very long, I start to remember why our marriage went bad in the first place. He irritates the hell out of me, he loves to argue, he always has to be right, and he just can't move forward. He wants to dwell on the past, and I am getting over the past. I can't forget it, but I can forgive him. And I have forgiven him. I don't know why its so hard for him to just let go of it and do the same.
The only way that this is going to work is if B tears down this emotional wall he's put up between us over the last 2 years, and makes an effort to stop being an asshole. But until he can do that, it just isn't going to happen. Sure, I could lay down & let him walk all over me the way he's done for the last three years. I could let him do and say whatever he wants to me and pretend to be happy. I could, because I've been doing it for three years. But I won't. Being apart from him has made me realize that I am a wonderful woman, and I deserve a man who will give me his entire heart, and whom I can trust with mine. I deserve a man who will treat me with respect, who will be kind and caring, and not say hurtful things just because he had a bad day at work. I deserve a man who wants to take me out to a romantic dinner at a restaraunt that doesn't have a drive-thru window, who will hold my hand, and who WANTS to dance with me. I deserve a man who loves me even though I'm not perfect, and who would NEVER bring up those imperfections in an argument and throw them in my face. I deserve to be treated well, and until B can do all of those things, I'm not subjecting myself to another hurtful relationship with him. I love him with all my heart, I really do, but I also love myself, and it's not fair to myself to let him treat me like crap, and it's not fair to let my sons watch their father be a jerk to their mother, it's not fair to let them grow up thinking that that is acceptable behavior. Since B moved out, I have been able to focus on myself. I'm no longer worrying about what to cook B for dinner, doing B's laundry, making him happy. I felt like I was chasing after him like a little dog, snipping at his heels, begging him to just turn around and scratch my ears. He either kept walking & ignored me, or turned around and kicked me. For the last three years, that has been my life. But when I didn't have to live that life anymore, I was able to focus on myself. I have started taking care of myself. I realize that I love me, and that feels amazing. I've lost 25lbs, I work out, I eat better, I have a job that I actually enjoy most of the time, I have made new friends and have gone out and had fun. It feels amazing to discover that I'm not such a bad person afterall, and I am worth taking care of. And I am worthy of a man who can see all of that.
Ok, this was super-long and probably makes no sense, but I guess thats why I started this thing. Just to talk and sort out my feelings... Typing it out in a journal is alot better than thinking it in my hear, or even talking out loud. This way, if I am feeling down, I can come back here and read all of this. This has been an emotional time in my life, but I am so grateful to have had this opportunity to rediscover myself, and to learn to love myself. I think that one day, I will be truly happy with my life, and that gives me hope
I got my hair done today, and I love it! My friend did it for me, and she colored it dark brown, red, and blonde, and it is just awesome! I am so excited about it =]
I was really bummed when I posted this morning, but the more I think about things, I think maybe its better if B & I aren't together. I love him, but he just annoys the hell out of me. Everything he does just bugs me, and there are so many things about him that I want to change, and that's unfair for me to want him to change. We talked on the phone today, and I told him that until he's sure of what he wants, I'm not going to get emotionally invested in this again. He needs to be single & figure things out on his own, and he agreed. I also made it very clear that I'm not going to sit at home and wait for him, either. I'm going to live my own life, and I'm still filing for divorce. I'm pretty sure that if he were to come running back in a couple months, I wouldn't want to get back together. I am happy about moving forward with my life as a single mom. Hopefully I get the job I applied for, I think they're supposed to hire after the first of the year, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
I'm going shopping in Oklahoma City with my mom tomorrow, I can't wait! We have a yearly tradition of going to OKC before Christmas and getting See's Candy in the mall, and then eating lunch at Joe's Crab Shack. Also, I weighed this morning, and I lost 3lbs this week, so that puts me down 25lbs Only 15 to go!!! My jeans are falling off of me, lol. I also finally made the decision to get on Depo-Provera. I have thought about it for a while, but B and I were going to TTC so I was just using the pill, but since a baby is most definitely NOT in my immediate plans, I wanted something that I wouldn't have to worry about, not to mention I always forget to take my pills. I don't currently have anyone that I'm sleeping with but you know...just in case!
Blah. I need to go finish laundry & get to bed... 6:30 comes early!
I had a great time shopping in OKC! My mom is so awesome, she bought me a pair of $98 jeans to congratulate me on my weight loss. Oh, that and the fact that all of my jeans are falling off of me and I desperately needed new ones, haha! She also bought me 2 pair of Mossimo jeans at Target. They're cute, but I absolutely love the expensive Silver ones. I cannot wait to have somewhere awesome to wear them out to
B is trying to get me to give him yet another chance... I just can't do it. I don't know how many chances I've given him in the last 2 years, and it always ends up the same. Everytime, he swears that he's changed, he swears he'll treat me better, he swears that he'll be nice, and everytime I say "ok, prove it" he goes right back to being a jerk. I've had enough of it. My heart can't take anymore broken promises. It breaks my heart to know that this is probably the absolute end of B & I, but I would rather have a broken heart right now and work on mending it, than to have it break over and over again like it would if I kept handing out chances.
Ok, now for something funny I have this super-huge crush on a guy that comes into the grocery store where I work. For the past couple weeks now, everytime he comes in, he goes through my line. And whenever he does, I blush and get clumsy and basically just act like a 12 year old with a crush on a cute boy, lol. I didn't know who he was (and this is a SMALL town, so I basically know who everyone is) so I some investigative work, and I found out that he's 30-ish, going through a divorce, has 3 kids, and works for the phone company (I already knew that though, since he's usually in a uniform shirt.) One day, a guy who works with him that I sort-of know came through my line, and I asked him if the guy was married, and he told me that he was getting divorced, and asked why I wanted to know, and I made up some lame story about just being curious, etc, and he smiled and said "You have a crush on him, don't you?" I said no, but my nervous giggle & blushing gave me away, lol. The other day, that guy came back in & told me that he had told A (the guy I like) that I had been asking about him. A told this guy that he thought I was really cute & that he wanted to ask me out but was too embarassed. The rest of the day, I was all giddy and excited, and THEN about 10 minutes until it was time for me to get off work, he came in the store I said hello to him when he walked in the door, and he smiled and said hi, then did his shopping. The whole time, I was just hoping he'd come through my line. Finally, I saw him coming toward the checkout lines and he made eye contact with me and started to steer into my lane then this old lady totally cut him off! I was so ticked! The girl in the lane behind me told him that she could check his groceries out in her lane, and he said "Nah, I'm not done shopping yet" and walked up and down the aisle near my lane until the old lady was almost done, and then he jumped in line behind her, lol. Anywho, as soon as I started checking his groceries, my face got red and I dropped a few things, and he made a joke about me dropping everything, and I couldn't stop giggling (I giggle when I'm nervous) then whenever he signed his credit card reciept, he dropped the pen and then we both started giggling. I couldn't look him in the eye for some reason, until when I handed him his reciept, and he said "Thanks, darlin" and smiled this adorable smile and he was blushing, too! I'm such a dork, I know, lol.
Anyway, that's my exciting story of the week. I'm such a loser... I keep thinking maybe I should write my number on his reciept or something, but I don't want to seem that forward. I guess that if he likes me, he'll take the first step, and until then, I will just giggle like an idiot whenever I see him
Someone that used to work with B about two years ago recently found me on myspace, and last night we talked on IM for a couple of hours. He & B weren't really close, but he lived in our apartment building & had a son a little bit younger than Calvin, so I was around him quite a bit, and it was nice to get to talk to him again. He's a nice guy, and I feel bad for him... His wife decided she didn't want to be a mom anymore and totally abandoned him & his son, and now she's in rehab and has only seen their little boy twice in the last year. Anywho, I told him that B & I were getting a divorce, and he was completely shocked. He just kept saying "but you guys were so happy together!" He's not the first person to tell me that, either. It seems like everytime someone else find out, they can't believe it because we were "so happy together."
Yeah, a long time ago, we were. When B was a firefighter, things were great. We spent alot of time together & did things with the guys that he worked with & their wives, we had a crappy little rent house but it was cozy & cheap, and we had alot of extra money in the bank, we always went out to dinner & went shopping together....then something changed. Almost immediately after he became a police officer, everything changed. He didn't want to go anywhere together anymore, he was always gone, the paycut was huge and we could barely afford groceries, much less dinner out somewhere nice. And then I got pregnant with Major. I felt like he 'blamed' me, I guess. He kept accusing me of not taking my birth control, all he did was gripe about how much money a baby was going to cost us, and how he wouldn't be able to go anywhere or do anything anymore. Once I was about 4 or 5 months pregnant though, that all stopped & all he could talk about was his son. And everything was OK between us...it wasn't great, but it wasn't terrible, either. We argued over money mostly. But when he left for a 9 week police training in September (Major was 3 weeks old) everything just went downhill and it never really got better.
So, I guess 2 years ago, we WERE happy. We used to be in love, we used to hold hands and kiss all the time. We were always together when he was off work, and those 24 hour shifts that he worked were the longest 24 hours ever. I know when everything went wrong, I just can't put my finger on the ONE thing that seemed to send us over the edge. Maybe it was when he started treating me like the maid, or maybe it was when he stopped talking to me. Maybe it was when he started accusing me of cheating on him whenever I hung out with my girlfriends, or maybe it was when I started lying to him to keep him from getting mad at me. Who knows... I know one thing though, I have GOT to stop analyzing this over & over again. I could sit here & think about everything til I'm blue in the face, but it won't change the fact that what we used to have together is gone & we can never get it back.
I need something to do to take my mind off of everything!
I've been MIA for a bit, and here's why-
Tuesday morning while I was at work, my grandparents were keeping Major & he got his big toe caught in my nana's exercise machine and it severed almost completely. My grandparent's drove him to the ER & then my papa came to get me at work and took me to the ER. When I got there, Major's foot was wrapped up & I didn't know what was wrong with it, other than it got smashed in the exercise machine. They came in to x-ray it and I thought it was just a precautionary thing, but then they unwrapped his foot, I saw his big toe hanging down and the bone was sticking out. I got shaky and sweaty and the nurses made me lay down. Obviously, it was broken, and then this other nurse comes in and I wasn't hearing everything over Major's cries, but I heard "orthopedic surgeon" and "OU Children's Hospital" and "ambulance" and "emergency surgery." I was completely in shock. I had called B earlier from the ER, before they did the x-rays, and he walked in right about the time they were giving Major an IV line. The ambulance crew came in (luckily I knew them both) and they strapped me onto the stretcher while holding Major, and they let B ride in the back too. We got to the Children's Hospital about 3:15 (the initial injury was at noon) and they couldn't get ahold of the orthopedic surgeon, and it was 6:30 before they were able to get him into the OR.
At first, they said that they would probably amputate the toe, but then the doctor came out of surgery and said that they were able to reattach his entire toe. The bone that broke off at the end of his toe wasn't salvageable, but they said it would re-grow itself. They also said that in a year, we won't even be able to see the scar since the cut was clean & right across the knuckle of his big toe. B & I stayed overnight in Major's room, and he slept all night long. Wednesday morning he ate alot & the doctor came & saw him. They looked at his toe & it was still alive, and we have to go back to OKC on Thursday for them to see it again, then they'll decide whether or not to put a cast over it or just a boot. I have to keep him from putting any weight on it until then. We were supposed to see the surgeon on Monday, but when I called to schedule the appointment, the lady told me that the doctor wouldn't be in until Wednesday! Geez! So he has a 9:30am appt in OKC for Thursday, but I don't feel comfortable waiting that long for it to be looked at, so I called our family doctor & he told me to bring Major in tomorrow morning and he will look at it and make sure that its doing OK, and then wrap it up a little better, since Major keeps kicking his leg and the wrap is getting loose. I'm so thankful that I have such a wonderful doctor
So far, Major's been doing great. I'm supposed to alternate Motrin & the lortab that they prescribed him every 3 hours, but I've been doing it every 4-5 hours, because he just doesn't seem to be in any pain at ALL, and I don't want to dope him up on lortab if it isn't necessary. I gave him a doze of lortab at 8:25 and by 8:45 he was snoring in my arms, lol. I laid him in bed and propped his foot up on the giant pink foam donut they sent home, and I can hear him snoring on the baby monitor. The only struggle really is keeping him from standing on it. When he wakes up in bed, the first thing he does is stand up, and he has already done this twice since we've been home and has cried and sat down, but once I pick him up he stops crying. I have to either carry him or make him sit in the high chair or baby swing all the time, and he HATES it. He wants to get down and run so bad, I just feel terrible for him He will fight me to get down and finally stop and just cry and cry because he's so frustrated. Poor little guy.
B stayed the night here last night too, he didn't want to leave Major's side. He slept in the recliner with Major on his chest all night long, lol. He stayed and helped me out some today and left around 5 this afternoon. He's coming back Saturday morning for a little while, and I think on Christmas day, too. He's going to Major's appt. in OKC with me, too.
My poor papa feels horrible. He feels like its all his fault, and he calls/comes over a few times a day just to tell Major that he's sorry. I don't blame him at all though, and I keep telling him that, but I know he blames himself. The exercise thing is called a Cardio-Glide and Major sits on it all the time, he loves it. My papa let him up there & he sat on it for a few minutes, then when my papa pulled him off of it, Majors big toe somehow got caught in the rails and...well, you know the rest. My grandparent's home-owner's insurance will probably cover all the costs too, so that's a big relief!
Tomorrow is Calvin's last day of school until mid-January, and he's so excited to be going to see his dad & all of his family on Christmas. Lucky kid, he gets Christmas with my parents/grandparents on Christmas Eve, then Christmas morning at home, then Christmas day at his dad's & then his other grandparents, lol. He comes home from there every year with enough presents to fill the entire trunk & half the backseat of out car (I'm NOT exaggerating!) I'm pretty excited for Christmas too, I know I got some really good stuff from my mom. She gave me one present today, too- she put me on her cell phone plan & got me a pink Motorola Razr, yay! I was without a cell phone for a little while, and I was having texting-withdrawls, lol.
I'm gonna try to get some sleep now. I hope Major stays asleep all night, we both need the rest!
Here's a link to see the pictures of Major's toe. We had it looked at this morning and it's infected now They started him on antibiotics and he sees the surgeon on Thursday, so hopefully it will have improved by then! This kid is so tough! He keeps trying to walk, and he thinks its hilarious to kick us all with his giant foot. He's not bothered by it at all, he doesn't try to take the wrap off, he just thinks its funny, and everytime he holds it up to look at it, he laughs. What a crazy kiddo!
I went on a date last night! My nana told me that I needed a break from holding Major 24/7, so I texted the guy that I've been talking to for the last week or so, and we met for dinner and then went dancing with some friends of ours. I had alot of fun, and he seems like a pretty nice guy. I'm kind of confused about what I want right now though, so I'm just taking it one day at a time.
B is finally coming to move his things out on Wednesday. He was going to do it last Tuesday, but those plans got bumped back when Major hurt his toe! So he says he is doing it on Wednesday, but I kinda think something else will come up to prevent him from doing it. He's been supposed to get all his stuff for over a month now, and he always finds some reason why he can't. I'm ready for it to be gone, because its all in my dining room and I'm ready to start painting the walls in there, but I can't yet!
Well, I'm gonna go to my nana's & get potatoes. Somehow I got conned into making the mashed potatoes again this year for Christmas dinner.
Wow, it's been so long since I've posted! I've been so busy with work & with Major, when I finally get free time I just crash, lol.
Last Thursday, B & I took Major to OKC to see the surgeon. They're pleased with his toe, the infection is getting better, and he's going to be just fine! Yay! I told the surgeon about him wanting to walk and that I was afraid he'd hurt himself, so he decided to put Major's leg in a cast from below his knee to past his toes. He can walk just fine and can't do any damage to his toe, and it hasn't slowed him down a bit! That night, B moved his things out of my kitchen finally, so I'm gonna start painting in there soon. I gave him the small TV, the floor lamp and the loveseat (the one that I was sitting on when my water broke ) but thats all the furniture I was willing to part with. I helped him move his things, and then he asked me to go to Wal-Mart with him to get some essentials, so I helped him get some dishes & silverware, and cleaning products (not that he'll ever use them) and just basic things someone needs in their own place.
Monday morning (the 31st) I was starting to feel like I was catching a cold, but there was no way I was staying home on New Year's Eve, so I took some Tylenol Cold and ignored it. When I woke up Tuesday morning, my throat was hurting and my lymphnodes were swollen. Wednesday morning, My right lymphnode was as big as a lemon and I couldn't even swallow water without crying, so I went to the doctor. My temp was 101.8, my pulse was 139, my tonsils are so big that they're touching, and my lymphnode is visible through my neck, and she said she thought I had mono. They did a blood test and sure enough, it's mono. I thought only teenagers got mono? Ugh. I did some online research, and it takes 4-6 weeks to develop symptoms, so I got it from someone that long ago. And whoever gave it to me could have had mono up to 18 months ago, because it stays in your system that long. I have to stay off work for a week, and there is no cure for mono, other than rest. How am I supposed to rest with 2 kids? One of them is in a cast! LOL.... B came over yesterday afternoon and got Major, and he spent the night with him. Calvin has been taking it easy on me, he know's I'm sick and is trying to be good. I called work yesterday to speak to the big boss, but he was gone so I had to talk to the woman in charge under him, and she was super pissed that I'm missing work, and she treated me like I was lying. Um, hello, I have a note from my doctor, I'm not lying! And I don't WANT to miss work. I'm a single mother, no work equals no money. No money equals no bills paid. I don't want to stay off work for a week, especially since I was just off a week in December b/c of Major's toe!
Like all this wasn't bad enough, my grandpa passed away yesterday morning. He fell and hit his head on Tuesday and had bleeding in his brain, and the doctor told my step-dad to prepare for the worst. He's being cremated and his memorial service is on Sunday. I'm glad that they're not having a typical funeral, and that there won't be a casket, etc. I was very upset about taking Calvin to that, but now how do I explain that grandpa is in that urn? Seriously, there should be some kind of instruction manual for this kind of stuff!
Ok, enough depressing stuff! Christmas was awesome! I got the coolest cowboy boots, a hot pink down coat from Land's End, a new jewelry box, a DVD player, lots of Bath & Body Works stuff, and alot of other cool things. My mom rocks! The boys got so much stuff it's just unbelievable! Calvin went to spend a week with his dad and came home with even more stuff, lol.
The guy that I went out with before Christmas started to creep me out, so I told him I didn't want to date him anymore. He called my cell phone 37 times, sent me 18 text messages, then called my house phone and left 5 messages saying that he was falling in love with me, and please don't do this to him, etc. What a creep! I never called him back so he finally stopped, lol. New Year's Eve, my mom told me that she was keeping the boys at her house all night & I was being ordered to go out with my friends and have fun, lol. I went to a country bar with some friends & a couple of my cousins and had a great time! I saw this really cute, tall guy in a cowboy hat walk past and I grabbed my friend Laura and said "OMG he is so hot!" and she said "Oh, I know him, he's my husband's friend!" and dragged me over and introduced us. Let's call him T. T & I hit it off & sat together and talked for an hour or so, and then he asked me to dance. We danced alot and then at midnight, he kissed me A bunch of us left there around 1:00 and went to IHOP, then back to a friend's house to play cards. Right about that time, the tequila shots came back up, so I was in the bathroom for a while, lol. I laid down on the futon and T came and laid with me and we talked for a long time and just got to know each other, and we fell asleep sometime around 4am. I woke up around 8:30 and kissed T good-bye, then drove thru McDonald's and came home. I took a shower asap because I stunk like stale cigarettes and tequila, then I went to pick up the boys at my mom's house. I've talked to T alot since then, and he asked me out on a real date, but now I'm sick so it'll be a while. I told him that I have mono & that I hoped he didn't get it, but he said kissing me was worth it, lol. Whatever! Nothing is worth getting mono! This sucks!

The Panasonic TC-P42GT25 ($1699 MSRP) is among the least expensive 3D plasma TVs. And while we are decidedly not concluded that 3D is worth the bother, we have come to the conclusion that plasma screens do a better job of displaying 3D content.

In a rather limiting context I need to reference a static class field from a constructor that has a variable named with the same name as the static field. Here is an example to illustrate, which also includes a non-static field to highlight the fact that for non-static fields one can use "this" to reference the class-field:
public class Example () {
private static DateTime firstInstance;
private static DateTime referenceInstance;
private String Name;
static Example() {
public Example(String Name, DateTime referenceInstance) {
How can one access the "referenceInstance" static field without the "this" keyword as one does with "Name"? In a perfect world I would just refactor either the class variable or the constrictor variable to have a different identifier, however for a rather technical reason (printing documentation) neither can be changed here.

PE Art Features and Daily DeviationsDaily Deviations:PE Art Features and Daily Deviations2 years ago in Art Features More Like This
As per :faq61:, The Daily Deviation is a daily feature chosen from galleries here on deviantART.
A small assortment of submissions are chosen each day by a select group of staff/volunteer members who wish to showcase an image which they found impressive or otherwise interesting enough to deserve being brought to the attention of the community-at-large.
Benefits of suggesting Daily Deviations:
helping artists gain more exposure
deviantART is such a large website with many members, often great art can fall through the cracks and go unnoticed as a result. Daily Deviations are usually a wonderful way to put a bit of a spotlight on a particular piece or artist. Often people like to focus on the lesser known artists, though it may be worth noting that even deviations uploaded by popular artists can at times use more exposure as well
Project Educate: Being a People PersonSo you've got the equipment, you've got the top notch camera, the lighting, the studio, the backdrop and even the perfect weather - everything you need for a portrait photography shoot right? Wrong. The key behind all photographs that contain a living and breathing subject is to have the natural look. Just like the key to a conceptual shot is having the idea, the key to portraiture photography is having the eye. Co-operative subjects help too!Project Educate: Being a People Person2 years ago in Deviant Events More Like This
I have especially found in the past, that people develop a pained and strained look on their face when the camera is pointed in their direction. Interestingly enough, it happens more often at Weddings. The bride and groom quite often develop the look that they might have when they've just finished writing out the cheque for me to photograph their big day...
Then, quite suddenly one day, I got it. It was when a stunning bridesmaid at a wedding lifted her hands in front of her face and squealed when I clicked the camera in her
Community Operations Newsletter - June 2014In this, the first of a new, regular newsletter, I'd like to take a moment to give you an overview of the Community Operations department.Community Operations Newsletter - June 20147 months ago in DeviantART Announcements More Like This
DeviantART's Community Operations Department encompasses the Help Desk and the Copyright and Etiquette Administration (CEA) teams. These teams are dedicated to providing a high level of support within the community via our help desk portal as well as what we call the "Moderation Desk", which is where all of the deviations that have been reported as being unsuitable or in violation of our policies, await review from a member of staff.
Community Operations Staff are spread out across the globe on a mix of many time zones. Some work from a physical office in deviantART HQ in Los Angeles, some work from their homes in America, Canada, Bahamas, Germany and the UK. This may not sound like a real job, but like any employment, there are clearly laid out roles and responsibilities as well as continuous supervision to ensure that people are meeting expectati
PE: Daily Deviations - The Myth and the LegendDaily Deviations, or DDs . . . for some deviants, receiving one is the epitome of awesomesauce in the deviantART world. For others, they are a nice way to show off the work of lesser-known artists. Still others treat them as a special way to bring attention to great art that exemplifies works being done by a particular gallery or community.PE: Daily Deviations - The Myth and the Legend2 years ago in Deviant Events More Like This
Perhaps because there are so many different ways of conceptualizing DDs, there are also many myths and misconceptions. I would like to address some of those myths by responding to the ones most frequently heard. Please note that these opinions are mine and reflect my experiences with the photomanipulation community, but perhaps they will be informative nevertheless.
Myth 1: DDs should always be perfect.
To many of us, the ideal Daily Deviation goes to an artist with amazing talent whose work draws you in and makes you think, "Wow, everyone needs to see this!" A DD should move you, inspire you, and provoke you to think, b
PE Feedback: ...But I don't know what to say?Critiques: What to say when you don't know what to sayPE Feedback: ...But I don't know what to say?2 years ago in Deviant Events More Like This
Hiya, everyone!
All of us have heard about feedback events during our time on deviantArt. Many of us have participated in them, while others have declined to do so for various reasons. Some of these reasons include fear of receiving critique on one's own work, fear of being attacked for critiquing someone's work, fear of not knowing what to say, and feeling inadequate to critique a deviation from someone who is perhaps more skilled than we are--especially if the deviation is created using a medium to which we are unaccustomed.
We especially want to focus on this last reason.
Here is a conversation that we had recently in a dA chat room (names have been changed):
Us: We are planning a cross-medium, dA-wide critique event for Project Educate!! Will you participate?
DeviantX: Hmm. I don't know.
Us: Why not?
DeviantX: I'm a photo
PE: Tolerance Towards Daily DeviationsIf you're like me, one of the first things you do every morning is turn on the computer to check the DDs for the day, if you make this a habit sooner or later you'll see something featured that you won't like at all, making you spill your morning coffee all over the screen.PE: Tolerance Towards Daily Deviations2 years ago in Deviant Events More Like This
Oh the crime! That poor coffee going to waste.
Before you hit the Caps Lock button and begin an essay about the drop of quality of DDs, stop. Take a deep breath, maybe walk around for a bit to cool down, and think about what you're going to do. To begin with, complaining about the DD leaving a comment is extremely disrespectful for the artist because most of the time, they didn't even ask to be featured. Instead, take a moment to consider why was it picked, DDs are chosen for far more than just being visually attractive, as the article Daily Deviations - The Myth and the Legend explained; we often look f
Project Educate: Expressing and EmotingEssentially, these are mostly the same thing with a few minor differences which are explained below. But before we move onto that, there's an important message to share when it comes to categorising your work. To get the best out of the photography galleries it's vitally important that you categorise your work properly. That' why these weeks exist in some respects, to help educate you through that. With regards to Daily Deviations - Community Volunteers will not give features to pieces of work that are mis-categorised. They might assist you by moving your work or explaining where it should go, but seeing a deliberate miscat is a bit off-putting when it comes to choosing pieces to showcase. Take some time to have a look through your gallery (I'm going to do the same!) and figure out if everything is in the right place. If you're struggling, just ask. We're here to help. What we won't do is rearrange your whole gallery for you. We will however, work with you to try and straighten thingsProject Educate: Expressing and Emoting2 years ago in Deviant Events More Like This
Starting with dA CSSBack when CSS was allowed for journals for the first time there had been only a few deviants like ClaireJones, Lilyas or kuschelirmel-stock who provided free skins for everyone. Through the time more and more people enjoyed working on CSS skins and we also got the chance to skin our galleries.Starting with dA CSS2 years ago in Art Features More Like This
These days, and thanks to the great resources about journal and gallery CSS that have been created, it is possible for nearly everyone to code their own skins and/or to share them with others. Still there are many people who struggle with some basic things, which is why we want to focus on some of them here.
Where can you use CSS/HTML
On deviantART you can only use HTML and CSS on your journals, group blogs, your custom gallery folders, as well as your groups' galleries.
When you customize your profile widgets you can't add CSS or HTML like you can for journals/galleries. All you can do is using existing dA code that can be re-us
Project Educate: Photographing Infants + ChildrenPhotographing infants and children can either be really painful and frustrating, or incredibly fun and rewarding. It depends entirely on the child. I kid, sort of. It's what you make of it and how you treat the moment. Children are fast, sometimes moody, sometimes hyper and nearly always think they know what you want them to do when you turn the camera on them. Either run, or crack that huge fake camera smile that they've been taught to do for their school photographs.Project Educate: Photographing Infants + Children2 years ago in Deviant Events More Like This
Don't force a smile. If the child doesn't want to smile, don't make them. You'll end up with the fake smile. However having said that, you can try and be funny, but again don't push it. They're smarter than many give them credit for. If you're not getting a smile but you're getting a rude funny face, then accept it. Those sorts of shots can be awesome as well.
Learn to accept imperfections. Whether the children are strangers to you or not, you can't have it perfect all of the time. Messy hair,

Project Educate: Improving Spontaneity Spontaneous PortraitureProject Educate: Improving Spontaneity2 years ago in Deviant Events More Like This
Here on deviantART there is a whole gallery for your casual, candid, secretive shots. I don't mean fetish. The Spontaneous People & Portrait Photography Gallery is where you should go if you are wanting to things that are less arranged, less planned and much more spontaneous. Have a browse here to see what's popular but keep in mind that miscats are in abundance, and that's why these education weeks exist - to try and educate and put the record straight.
I prefer to shoot all of my portraiture and people photography as candidly as possible. I believe that capturing people unawares gives them no time to organize their facial expressions and consider arranging their emotions. Eyes, are the windows to the soul - as they say, and if you're making someone stand and pose (which works well a lot of the time) you're closing off the honest

PE Daily Deviations- Presentation of your workHello all!PE Daily Deviations- Presentation of your work2 years ago in Deviant Events More Like This
Well we've had a fascinating week so far; a week which hopefully has provided some insight not only to the process of DD selection but helped you understand what we look for in DDs as CVs. As we draw to the end of this week, I bring you an article which will whet your Saturday with thoughts that don't just apply to the DD feature, but something which should be a consideration to everything you submit to dA. I am talking about deviation presentation.
Why is Presentation important?
Art isn't always about just being "creative". There are techniques and skills which develop over time which contribute to the quality of the work you produce and alongside this comes a developed understanding of good presentation.
Good presentation could be anything from cropping a photograph, to spell checking your literature. These are common sense things that in the rush of wanting to show off your creativity can sometimes be
It's All About Presentation (Mostly)As more and more people start taking pictures of their nether regions on their iphones or posing myspace style in front of their HTC's - the competitive world of getting a Daily Deviation gets just that much harder... I kid. But... daily, I am bombarded with awesome suggestions (which I love) and I'm not complaining about. But there has to be a criteria of sorts, that sets an image above the rest. Here are a few things I look for that you might not have noticed before... The first thing I look at when I stumble across an image or view a suggestion from somebody, is how the artist has presented their work to the deviantART Community.It's All About Presentation (Mostly)2 years ago in Deviant Events More Like This
Your image isn't everything. Not anymore. In the past I have given Daily Deviations to pieces with titles that are a combination of random letters and numbers, or that are very obviously still the source file title - or that tends to be just a keyboard mash-up. Everyday CVs are sent many many notes suggesting pieces o
Photography Troubleshooting:How to Photograph FoodMany of us lament about a lack of subjects to Photograph - and almost just as many of us create something on a daily basis that with a bit of presentation, can look like a masterpiece.

Firstly, you don't need an expensive D-SLR in order to capture some of the food masterpieces you see around.Photography Troubleshooting:How to Photograph Food2 years ago in Deviant Events More Like This

Daily deviations tend to be a controversial topic within the community and whether or not a DD is worthy of the feature is, as such, often discussed.
As a CV for Icons & Handhelds I often find it interesting to read these discussions, since that way I can see what the community expects of the features, but the recent negativity on the Icons & Handhelds DDs is something I would like to address, which is why I'm thankful I'm given this opportunity during the Daily Deviation PE-week. I will try to explain why I think icons and handhelds are worthy of the feature and why they may be dismissed just a bit too quickly.
Let's begin at the beginning.
When deviantART first started, it was a site that mainly geared towards customization. Be it wallpapers or icons, if you take a look at some of the first DDs. So how come there'
PE Feedback: How to Give a CritiqueHOW TO GIVE A CRITIQUEPE Feedback: How to Give a Critique2 years ago in Personal More Like This
It's a great thing that you want to critique other deviant's works and help them improve their skills through your constructive feedback. By critiquing fellow deviant's works, you are developing your critical thought and vision and thus, developing yourself as an artist. However, critiquing is not all about pointing out what others did wrong. As ChewedKandi has pointed out in 'How To: Critiquing Artwork' "a critique is giving your opinion in a constructive manner about a subject - be it a piece a music, a piece of art, the meal you've just ate and so on."
That's the main point of this article: to share a few pointers on how to give a quality critique while providing links to a compilation of useful guides that focus on this very same topic.

The Pixel Art CommunityWelcome to Pixel Art's PE week! Firstly, I'd like to begin by discussing where we are in the Pixel Art community, where we came from and where we might head in the future.The Pixel Art Community2 years ago in Personal More Like This
Why discuss the definition of Pixel Art?
Why is it so important to discuss the definition of Pixel Art? It becomes important not only when it comes time to update the category's description for the sake of organisation and clarity, but also when confusion and misconceptions become increasingly common among those in the community itself. As Pixel Art grew from being primarily used for old computer and gaming systems, that could not handle much data and therefore not too many colours per palette, into something used with more contemporary technologies like Photoshop and MSPaint, Pixel Art itself was bound to reflect those changes. This change has become apparent in new styles, new techniques and questions around the need for the "old rules" of past

Three hours later, standing in a corner of her uncle's crowded living room, choking on smoke and perfume, she was having second thoughts. She had remembered hating these things, but over the years, her mind had glossed over exactly how out of place she felt among her family's friends and relatives. Despite her upbringing, she considered herself a simple girl, with simple tastes. She'd never been into the party rounds, the plastic surgery, the smoking. After the initial introductions, she'd found herself without anything to say to these people, hiding out in a secluded corner, as she had when she was young.
And it didn't help that she kept sensing that she was being watched. Several times, she'd had such an intense feeling of being observed that she'd almost felt ... stalked. But when she scanned the room, there were no sudden turns of the head, no whispered conversations. It was probably just nerves. Maybe a little fresh air would help--the room was stifling.
Jenny edged her way through the crowd to the French doors that let out onto the garden. They were partially opened, to help alleviate the heat created by the crush of people, so she slipped out onto the flagstone patio.
It was a clear, cold night. Moonlight bathed the garden with opal radiance, and Jenny found herself drawn to the fountain. She picked her way carefully down the steps, then walked over and stared at her reflection in the shimmering waters.
"Beautiful, isn't she?"
Jenny whirled as the voice spoke behind her. "What?"
"I said you're beautiful."
She stared into the piercing blue eyes of a man who appeared to be close to her own age. His hair was a little long--sandy brown, tousledcurls framing a deeply tanned face and a killer smile. He looked vaguely familiar. Jenny frowned. "Do I know you?"
His grin widened. "Yes." His eyes flickered toward something behind her. "You once promised to marry me."
Jenny laughed. "Oh, that's a good one. But I know that's not true, because I've never been proposed to."
"Oh, but you have." Another voice spoke from behind her, and she whirled again, losing her balance in the process. A strong, brown hand reached out to steady her, and then she was looking into an identical pair of bright blue eyes.
"But ... you're..." Jenny turned, staring from one man to the other, virtual mirror images of each other. A forgotten memory began to stir, but a distracting heat invaded her arm where their flesh met, making it hard for her to concentrate. Where had she seen twins like this before?
The man holding her arm leaned toward her. "Run," he whispered.
Jenny pulled her arm from his grasp and backed away. What on earth were they doing? Somehow, they were between her and the house now. "W-What did you say?"
They both looked at her with eyes that were no longer bright and laughing, but dark and full of desire. "He said run."
Some primal instinct made her move just as they reached for her. Her heart raced as she stumbled past the fountain. She looked back, and they were coming. Slowly, but moving with a sleek power and animal grace that sent her heart leaping into her throat. Jenny kicked off her heels and raced down the path.
Why was this happening? She racked her brain, trying to bring back the faint memory that had stirred a moment ago. Where had she seen those beautiful eyes before?
Then it came back to her, and she was so startled that she stopped dead. Surely, they couldn't be the guys from the truck. As she stood there, that hot August afternoon replayed itself in her mind. Those compelling blue eyes, the smiles, the hair.
Shit. Jenny couldn't imagine that they would still remember her, yet alone recognize her. This had to be some kind of joke. Her heart began to race again, but this time it wasn't fear that pulsed in her veins, but desire. Jenny chided herself. She knew nothing about these two, except that they were obviously obsessive, to remember her this long. So why was she standing here, waiting for them?
Jenny made herself step off the path, behind the trunk of one of the large oaks that graced her uncle's property. Shivering, she closed her eyes, waiting for the sound of their footsteps. After they passed, she'd high-tail it back to the house and call the police.
Jenny almost screamed when hands closed around each of her arms.
"And now, we've finally caught you." The voice had a teasing quality to it, and Jenny opened her eyes. Her captors pressed close, the heat from their bodies chasing away her chill. "You aren't frightened, are you?"
Jenny swallowed. "Yes."
One of them reached up and traced the edge of her low neckline with a calloused finger. "But?"
Had there been a "but" in her tone? Jenny took a deep breath, intending to scream, but let it out as a sigh. Hell, yes. "But..." She searched for words that wouldn't make her sound like an idiot.
"But you do remember us." The finger outlining her dress slipped just beneath the edge of the fabric. The other man reached up and ran his hand through her loose hair, and the shiver that ran through her body had nothing to do with the cold.
"Yes." Jenny sighed.
"And?" The man caressing her hair was pressed up against her, his erection prodding her hip.
"I--" His mouth claimed hers, and Jenny moaned, meeting his thrusting tongue with her own.
The hand at her chest slid beneath the fabric, covering one breast. "Mmmm," a voice whispered in her ear. "I've been wanting to do this for seven years."

Evergreen Clothing Company and E-Town Outlet received the Diamond Award on Friday night as business of the year at the annual Sparkle and Shine event of the Evergreen Area Chamber of Commerce. Shop owner Jim Sherwood was recognized for his continued support of other local businesses and for his efforts to market Evergreen to the surrounding area.
A chase Wednesday afternoon involving the Jeffco Sheriff's Office ended when the suspects' vehicle was forced off Rooney Road south of Golden.
Local kids whose families are struggling with poverty and mental-health and substance-abuse issues still can receive a holiday gift that warms their hearts — with your help.
Jeffco Human Services and the Court Appointed Special Advocates of Jefferson and Gilpin Counties are collecting gifts for the Sponsor-A-Family Holiday Giving Program from now until Monday.
Quentin Willson can't tell you what it is about wrestling that he likes so much, just that he does.
"It's just fun," said the 13-year-old eighth-grader at Rocky Mountain Academy of Evergreen. He's been wrestling since he was 4.
How much is enough when considering improvements to Buchanan Rec Center?
The Evergreen Park and Recreation District board weighed the costs of proposed projects for the 12-year-old facility and their potential impact on revenues at the Dec. 9 meeting.
According to a feasibility study done by architectural firm Sink Combs Dethlefs, adding a lap and lesson pool to the rec center would cost the district $134,000 annually and would generate $39,000 in revenue — resulting in a $95,000 net annual loss.
There are times in when music can be made even more beautiful by the setting in which it is presented. In the case of the Evergreen Chorale's latest collaboration with the Jefferson Symphony Orchestra, the concerts' beautiful settings will make the music all the more joyous and the holiday season all the more festive.
To assist with the bridge replacement at Evergreen Lake Park, the Evergreen park district is seeking a $40,000 grant from Jefferson County Open Space.
The details of Jeffco Public Schools' recently approved performance-based pay structure for teachers need to be hammered out, and soon, human resources director Amy Weber told school board members last Thursday.
Standing at the Veterans Memorial in Buchanan Park on Sunday afternoon, Vern Stelzer of American Legion Post 2001 read the historic speech given by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt on Dec. 8, 1941. Roosevelt delivered the speech the day after Japan attacked the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
A former Jeffco jail inmate who was left untreated for 16 hours after suffering a stroke in 2012 has been awarded $11 million by a federal jury.

Report: Final PT Cruiser to roll off Chrysler assembly line on July 9
2009 Chrysler PT Cruiser – Click above for high-res image gallery
Chrysler's long-lived PT Cruiser will finally roll off into the sunset next month after a decade in production. According to the Detroit Free Press, when the 2010 model year winds down at Chrysler's Toluca, Mexico plant on July 9, the final Cruisers will be produced. The retro-styled five door hatchback was a sensation when it debuted and inspired customers to pay a premium over the sticker price to get one. Over the years, the styling was tweaked only slightly its competitiveness declined significantly as DaimlerChrysler steadfastly refused to invest in it.
The Cruiser was originally earmarked for discontinuation a year ago, but when Chrysler emerged from bankruptcy, it needed product, so the automaker kept it alive for another 12 months. The Toluca factory will now be re-tooled for production of another retro-design small car, the Fiat 500 which joins the Chrysler lineup later this year.

Currently, we use Cisco 4400 series WLAN controller with Cisco 1131 APs.
Works a treat and dead easy to manage
As stated in the other thread, I would propose checking out Xirrus. Their services has been very promising and really we have no complaints at our end.
I wouldn't go with Cisco because they require so many APs, its really ridiculous. You need a vendor that can offer more with less, meaning give you more bandwidth, more coverage, and more range. Think about this way, the less devices and wires you need...the more you save.
I dont know about the UK, but over in the states we are in a recession, so saving is vital. But also note that you can save, and also have a great and outstanding service!

COLLINWOOD, Tenn. (AP) -- The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has arrested a city recorder in Middle Tennessee after her indictment on a theft charge.
The TBI said Tuesday that 50-year-old Sherry Gallien of Collinwood was indicted last week by a Wayne County grand jury on a charge of theft of more than $60,000.
Gallien was booked into the Wayne County Jail but had been released on bond by Tuesday, and there was no indication if she had an attorney.
The TBI was called in to investigate after a state audit found about $83,000 in city funds missing.
Gallien has worked for the city for 33 years.
