LOS ANGELES â¿¿ Darth Vader is dead. The evil Emperor exploded. And Luke Skywalker and his allies destroyed both Death Stars, restoring balance to the Force. For The Walt Disney Co., the prospective new owner of the "Star Wars" franchise, what's left to tell? A lot, apparently. There are more than 110 novels and 80-plus comic books set after "Return of the Jedi," the sixth episode in the film series. That has left a lot of room for speculation ever since Disney announced it is buying Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion and will resume making "Star Wars" movies. By Ryan Nakashima.

A last-ditch effort to end a strike with its bakers' union failed Tuesday night. By Retail Writer Candice Choi. AP Photo. MARKETS & ECONOMY UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS WASHINGTON â¿¿ The number of people seeking U.S. unemployment aid remained elevated for a second straight week because Superstorm Sandy forced many people to seek temporary benefits. The Labor Department said Wednesday that first-time applications for benefits fell by 41,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 410,000. That offset only part of the previous week's surge. By Economics Writer Christopher S. Rugaber. AP photo â¿¿ MORTGAGE RATES â¿¿ Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages fell to fresh record lows this week, a trend that is boosting home sales and aiding the housing recovery. â¿¿ LEADING INDICATORS â¿¿ A measure of the U.S. economy intended to signal future activity rose only slightly last month, suggesting growth could stay weak. WALL STREET NEW YORK â¿¿ The stock market crept higher Wednesday ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday. Major market indexes got a slight lift after news broke of a cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Making it Worse
The instant message box popped up from an acquaintance. We barely knew each other beyond our sparse interactions online. Apparently there was no else online to talk to.
With weak reassurance from me, he dropped the bombshell.
There was no right way to react, he admitted. There was also nothing in particular he was looking to hear. Still, I felt more impotent with each response I gave.
Empathy led to sarcasm. Additional questions led to evasion. Expressing uncertainty about how I was reacting led to silence. I was sure I was making things worse.
He had some whiskey and left the keyboard for awhile. When he came back, the subject was over. He thanked me for listening. "I don't know how I'm supposed to feel," he finally said.
Me neither.
I chalked up my incompetence to my barely knowing him. Surely if I knew him better, I'd know exactly which conversation buttons to hit to help him cope. But I didn't know him at all. This was the first time someone who I barely knew confided in me something life-changing.
We learn a lot of things about how to react to raw vulnerability in people we don't know. We have our stock phrases and tricks about how to validate feelings. "This must be hard for you." "I'm sorry." "Take all the time you need. "This is not your fault." "A lot of people go through this." "Your reaction is normal."
What I didn't learn until now is sometimes nothing--absolutely nothing--works. Sometimes it's the moment, sometimes it's the person, sometimes it's both. And so you have silences, and missteps, and too many apologies. Out of desperation, you say inappropriate things like, "I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything to make it better, but I hope I didn't make it worse either."
You may make it worse.
But maybe the game is rigged. Maybe every door to making things better is locked. Maybe I'm not the person with the key. Maybe there's nowhere to stand but in the hallway, offering nothing for now but a bit of body warmth.
Note: I asked for (and received) consent to write this.

That's pretty much what I wanted to do after the fires last week but I couldn't stop scratching.

Yes! Robo-Signing Mortgage State Settlement Something to Cheer About
February 07, 2012
Officials from more than 40 states have signed onto a record $25 billion settlement with the five biggest banks related to foreclosure abuses including "robo-signing" of documents. For the past year, President Obama has advocated for a mortgage relief plan with the five biggest mortgage servicers, Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Ally Financial, to settle an investigation of foreclosure abuses. Evidence of robo-signing foreclosure documents began to show in 2010 during a record national wave of foreclosed homes. "This enables us to move forward into the very final stages of remaining work. Federal and state officials, as well as representatives from the banks, continue to address matters that they must complete before finalizing any settlement," Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller said in a statement late Monday. – Los Angeles Times
Dominant Social Theme: OK, it's not perfect but it's a beginning. Now let's get some serious regulation focused on the problem.
Free-Market Analysis: The Los Angeles Times columnist David Lazarus has posted a video commentary on "robo-signing" saying that while the pending deal (see excerpt above) with leading mortgage lenders isn't the best possible outcome for homeowners, it's probably the best they can hope for.
Lazarus uses a couple of super-hero dolls to illustrate his points. He explains that mortgage-holders "played by the rules" while the banks did not. The US$25 billion settlement isn't perfect, but at least it will get some money back to mortgage holders and defer some foreclosures.

Lazarus uses a couple of super-hero dolls to illustrate his points. He explains that mortgage-holders "played by the rules" while the banks did not. The US$25 billion settlement isn't perfect, but at least it will get some money back to mortgage holders and defer some foreclosures.
Banks, he says, will continue to practice shady lending but the way to deal with banks in the mortgage field is to focus on them aggressively with government regulation.
Lazarus's remarks are supported by canny, alternative journalists like Ellen Brown; an article of hers on the mortgage mess has circulated widely recently. In it, Ms. Brown makes the point that the mortgage mess needs SERIOUS investigation to find out what the banks did.
She makes the point that the robo-signing fraud, in which machines, not people, signed mortgage contracts, was implemented to increase liquidity for the largest fund companies even though it wasn't a legal practice.
Like Lazarus, Ms. Brown believes the only serious solution to the mortgage mess is SERIOUS regulation. She states this forcefully in her article, entitled "Why the AGs Must Not Settle: Robo-signing Is Just the Tip of the Iceberg".
Ms. Brown writes: "Hundreds of years of history have demonstrated that the only reliable guarantor is the government itself ... Banking and credit need to be public utilities, operated for the benefit of the public in plain sight of the public."
We have great respect for Ms. Brown and for the myriad mainstream and alternative news outlets that posted her article on Robo-signing. By posting well-written views in cyber-space on a regular basis, Ms. Brown incites both conversation and controversy.
We do, however, disagree with her conclusions, and have disagreed with them – mildly or emphatically – from the point in time when we became fully aware of their ramifications. We continue to be convinced that "bigness" serves no one but the most powerful and wealthy among us.
In fact, as we argue every day, modern Western governments do NOT serve the people. They have been taken over behind the scenes by the same handful of families – and their enablers and associates – that control the world's central banks.
These families are interested, it seems, in creating one-world government. They do this by using mercantilism – conflating government laws and regs with their personal interests – that enshrines their wealth making processes as law.
One can see this with central banking. These families apparently control more central banks around the world printing money-from-nothing.
But in order to facilitate this privilege, the Anglosphere power elite has actually passed laws – almost everywhere throughout the world – ensuring that central banks and their money-printing privileges are the LAW OF THE LAND.
One can see from this example that Western regulatory democracies are prone to manipulation by those with the most money. And if you can print money virtually at will, then the chances are you will dominate the societies in which you live.
Even leaving aside the issue of how pliable regulatory democracy is when it comes to those who want to manipulate it using great wealth, there are probably other reasons why we want to be careful how big we want to make government and how much power we want to give it.
That's because laws and central banking policies are basically price fixes, transferring wealth from those who create it to those who do not and likely won't use it as effectively.
In fact, most reputable economists will admit that price-fixing is a bad, distortive idea that basically makes everyone poorer. So why then, would anyone want to make government even BIGGER and more distortive?
Finally, we just don't trust government. In the 20th century alone, we believe governments (according to studies like Black Book's) may have been responsible for the cold-blooded deaths of up to 150 million.
But beyond the murder and mayhem, there is the idea of what we call directed history. We've come to the conclusion that much of the history of the 20th century was in a sense falsified in order to create a trend toward global government.
We believe the Anglosphere elites that want what is popularly known as a New World Order are behind these events. How else to explain that almost every major disaster and war always ends up in a call for MORE central government, more bigness and more authoritarianism generally?
People are not apt to call for an abnegation of their responsibilities and freedoms, yet for the past 100-plus years at least, this is just what's been happening. As a result, we have in place a full spectrum of global governance, including the UN, NATO, IMF and various trade forums and international criminal and civil courts.
Perhaps this all a kind of "coincidence." But the architecture of global governance has been erected in about 50 years, actually, which is pretty darn fast. Seems like there's a pattern to us.
And that brings us back to this robo-signing mortgage mess. And why we're glad that the big banks are getting off the hook.
We WANT the facilities created by the Anglosphere to keep practicing business-as-usual, along with the regulatory authorities that supposedly supervise them. We want them to do so because it's the only way, in our humble view, that people will ever start getting the idea that something has GONE SERIOUSLY WRONG.
The power elite in aggregate is pretty darn clever (as we would be too if we controlled tens of trillions) and the solutions to the problems that are apparently purposefully being caused are always the same and include the utilization of authorities that the elites have created and continually manipulate.
In other words, you are not going to "clean up corruption" or "get to the bottom" of the robo-signing mortgage mess by having "AGs" look into the matter.
In fact, the US "justice system," with some six million under lock-and-key for a variety of offences such as smoking a marijuana cigarette at the wrong time in the wrong place, is as corrupt and vicious as it gets.
We've made the point over and over now that what will salvage Western society in the long-term is a gradual erosion of the current elitist system. It won't happen through investigations or even violent revolution, however.
It will happen, eventually, when people quietly and firmly decide to "opt out." They will be so sick of the corruption and evil in a system that portrays good as bad and truth as lies that they will not be able to bring themselves to participate in it anymore.
That's the only way in our view. Like the Incans and Mayans before, sick to death of the bloodshed of their own priestly class, people will have to metaphoricaly melt back into the woods and mountains from whence they came.
it won't be so bad. Leave archeologists of the future to argue about whether it was global warming or crop disaster that caused the failure of the current magnificent Western civilization.
Meanwhile people can begin to live again without being endlessly taxed by tithes and "clipping." Their children can grow up drinking raw milk and eating fresh vegetables. They'll have a chance to live rather than to be sacrificed in nonsensical, elitist, foreign wars.
This settlement is merely one more indication that the system itself – in the US and in the European Union, too – is a terminal one. There is nothing that can be done to fix it. There is nothing that can be done to "fix" Wall Street, either, in our view.
There is nothing that can be done to fix the banking industry, which more and more looks to be a large money-laundering facility for drugs and gambling – neither of which should be illegal in the first place.
People need to evolve their systems and societies toward natural law and what worked in the past – smaller, flexible communities and private justice where people solved their problems on their own or with the help of a local intermediary.
Nationalism, globalism, communism, capitalism ... these are all "isms" that serve as distractions from what matters most – organizing society along habitable and merciful lines with an emphasis on local control and the kind of human action that free-markets support.
Sound like a pipe dream? Maybe so. But the Internet Reformation – a broad array of information on the Internet that is challenging the dominant social themes of the elite – continues to make an impact. Global warming, the war on terror, even politics-as-usual have all come under attack thanks to the Internet's alternative media.
It sounds terrible to say it, but we don't want the facilities of the US empire – its fiercesome Intel agencies – to enforce equally fiercesome laws in the name of "justice." Justice, as it is administered today, is nothing more than another elite dominant social theme aimed at further expanding the foundation of world government.
Give us a peaceful sociopolitical evolution away from the monstrous system that has been erected around us. Give us a way out of the matrix of control that distorts our lives from birth to death – and our children's lives and future too.
We do not look for justice from the terminally damaged US system. We look for solutions that are mentioned in the US Constitution and certainly in the US Declaration of Independence. These emphasize natural law, human action and individual liberty. They are the building blocks upon which the US in particular was founded – as a republic.
The idea that the modern-day US Leviathan is capable of providing "justice" for those denuded of houses and treasure by the robo-signing mortgage scam strikes us as unrealistic for all these reasons and more.
Perhaps you disagree with us. Heck, likely you do. We're sure Lazarus does. You can see his video here:

Mindray Medical To Exhibit New Products At 68th China International Medical Equipment Fair
SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mindray Medical International Limited (NYSE: MR), a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of medical devices worldwide, announced today that it will exhibit more than 90 products at the 68th China International Medical Equipment Fair ("CMEF") in Sichuan, China between October 18 and October 21, 2012.
Mindray will showcase products from its three primary business segments: patient monitoring and life support, in-vitro diagnostic, and medical imaging systems. The company will also exhibit some recently acquired orthopedic and endoscopic products. New products that will be presented for the first time in the CMEF include the DigiEye380 digital radiography system, the EH-2080 fully automatic urine sediment analyzer and the BC-5390 auto hematology analyzer.
- The smart and small DigiEye380 digital radiography system offers a flexible ceiling suspension feature to meet a full range of clinical applications, which can improve patient comfort and reduce the operator's workload. Its efficient workflow shortens the radiography procedures and produces results more quickly. The machine's small size means it can be installed with minimum room space requirements.
- The EH-2080 fully automatic urinary sediment analyzer performs comprehensive urinalysis. The equipment can automatically track and analyze different elements, such as red blood cells, in urine samples. It can be connected to a fully automatic urine chemistry analyzer to report integrated urinalysis results.
- The BC-5390 auto hematology analyzer can perform rapid and reliable tests on just a minimum amount of blood. The laser-scatter, flow-cytometry and chemical-dye technologies help produce an accurate differential readout. The machine features an autoloader, which can hold up to 30 tubes at a time and achieve 60 samples-per-hour throughputs. With the windows-based software, end-users can easily perform routine tests, manage patient results, set up auto-cleaning and connect with the LIS (Laboratory Information System) server.
"The CMEF has always been a great venue for us to showcase exciting new products such as the smart and small DigiEye380 digital radiography system and the EH-2080 urinary sediment analyzer," said Mr. Li Xiting, Mindray's president and co-chief executive officer. "We look forward to sharing our products with all participants at the conference and will continue to develop and bring innovative products into the market."

Samsung 32" Flat Panel LCD LN32D450

About Me Casual User
Did my research since I am not a videophile and found this set to be terrific for me. Great picture and the built in speakers are fine especially when the set is used in a bedroom which is what I got it for. Only had it for about 4 months but looks and works great. Could use more connection options like a second HDMI but for the quality and price and my particular use I found it to be a really good buy. Good price [...] from ABT.

The LCD TV is just right for me. I love the picture. It's too bad the cable company did not cooperate. They seem to sabotage my use of this TV. The download of programs didn't work ... until the 3rd time. Now their remote doesn't work. It's frustrating. When the cable company makes my service work properly, I'll be using this new TV to it's full capacity.

SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX) — The U.S. Navy celebrates its 239th anniversary in a couple days and gave itself a very big gift Saturday, wrapped in red, white and blue.
At a ceremony on the San Francisco waterfront Saturday morning, an 844-foot-long amphibious assault vessel took her official place as the Navy's newest member, the USS America.
She's a symbol of American maritime strength.
"I think it means we are ready to stand up for what we stand for — and we're prepared to back it up," Edward Stetson, who came from Stockton to attend the event, told KPIX 5.
The USS America is the fourth ship to bear the name 'America' since the nation's founding.
Although steeped in history, the new ship is also very much a 21st-Century war machine. She's also a hybrid and, at slower speeds, can run on electric power, can carry two thousand Marines and has a complete onboard hospital.
After nearly five years' work, ship builder George Jones likes seeing the crew aboard the vessel for the first time.
"It goes from being a project of raw steel and pipe to the crew on board. It becomes a floating city. They live on it and they serve our country on it, so to see that at the end is really the best part," Jones told us.
By the end of the decade, the Navy is set to commission 32 more ships. Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus told us the country is rebuilding the nation's naval power.
"It will provide the presence that America has to have for our defense and our protection," he said.
The USS America was built in Mississippi, where about 3,000 people worked for nearly five years to finish the ship. When she leaves San Francisco after Fleet Week she'll be based in San Diego.
When you see folks pulled over for speeding or other moving violations, what kind of car are they driving? Does it seem as if some makes and models get ticketed more often than others?
If you answered "yes" to that second question, you're not seeing things. According to Insurance.com, some cars appear to be ticket magnets.
The company analyzed data from over 550,000 applications for insurance quotes. In the process, it noted which owners reported having moving violations on their driving records and which of 526 car models they drove. On the whole, 19.9 percent of motorists reported having a recent traffic ticket, but drivers of some cars scored much higher.
Owners of the Subaru WRX have the dubious honor of earning the most tickets, on average: 33.6 percent of them reported having a recent violation.
That's not just a useful tidbit of information; it can have a huge impact on insurance rates. A WRX owner with no infractions might pay an annual premium of $2,618 to $4,182, depending on where s/he lives. Add one speeding ticket to the mix, and that figure can skyrocket to $3,610 to $5,248.
Here's the list of the top ten most-ticketed cars and the percentage of owners with recent violations on their records:
1. Subaru WRX: 33.6%
2. Pontiac GTO: 32.7%
3. Scion FR-S: 32.6%
4. Toyota Supra: 30.8%
5. Subaru Tribeca: 29.7%
6. Volkswagen Rabbit: 29.6%
7. Mercury Topaz: 28.8%*
8. Scion tC: 28.8%
9. Toyota FJ Cruiser: 28.4%
10. Mazda Mazda2: 28.1%
Of course, the study raises as many question as it answers. For example, does the Subaru WRX get more tickets because it attracts reckless and/or youthful, inexperienced drivers? Or are cops more prone to keep an eye on (and pull over) WRX drivers than, say, drivers of the Porsche Cayman (which ranks #512 out of #526)?
That said, the data is out there, and insurance companies may consider it when calculating your rate, even if you don't have a ticket yourself. If you're planning to buy a new or used car, why not see how your favorite model stacks up? It could save you -- or cost you -- down the line.
* We're as shocked as you are.
The men in blue will turn pink in October in their effort to call attention to Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
One of the Leesburg Police Department's black and white vehicles will roll out today with a new hot pink design. Leesburg Police Chief Rob Hicks, who recently took the reins of the department and whose wife is a cancer survivor, called it a "horrible disease" that affects many lives in the community.
"As police officers, our No. 1 goal is to save lives and protect people. This awareness campaign is right in line with our core values," Hicks said.
Hicks added officers will use the vehicle on patrol throughout the month and also appear with the car at special events.
According to a press release from the city, the police motto "Serve and Protect" was replaced with "Prevent and Detect" to encourage breast exams and other preventative care to fight cancer. The new decal will be displayed throughout October and will be removed at the end of the month.
Leesburg-based Hunter Signs — a business that specializes in vehicle artwork and other customizations — donated all the materials and services to decorate the 2014 Dodge Charger Pursuit cruiser for the department.
"I enjoy helping the police department, and this is a really good cause," Hunter Signs owner Justin Hunter said in the release. "I am happy to be part of it."
The Leesburg Police Department also is permitting officers to show support by wearing small pink ribbons, bracelets or pink undershirts.
Groveland residents will start seeing something fuzzy with their police department starting Wednesday, too. In an agency where only mustaches have been allowed, Police Chief Melvin "Smitty" Tennyson is allowing patrol officers to have beards for six months starting Wednesday in exchange for a $50 donation that will go to Pink Heals of St. Johns, a nonprofit organization tied directly to assisting cancer patients.
Like the mustaches, the beards can't be dyed and must remain neat and trimmed to help maintain a professional appearance.
"This is something that is very dear to our chief's heart," said Groveland police spokesman Lt. Scott Penvose, who added it may take him the full six months to grow a beard.
The Lake County Sheriff's Office is hoping residents can help turn the county pink by purchasing "Lock it (breast cancer) up for Life" T-shirts they are selling to support We Care of Lake County. Those interested in the T-shirts can call 352-516-4022 or email email@example.com.
The Sumter County Sheriff's Office is selling chicken dinners in front of the City Hall in Bushnell from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Friday to benefit the expenses incurred by former deputy Angie Wilkinson who recently developed cancer, as well as for a second deputy, Toby Lockwood, whose wife is facing major medical bills.
"We believe this is a good cause," said Lt. Bobby Caruthers, a spokesman for the Sumter County Sheriff's Office.
Some Lake County firefighters will start hitting the streets in October with a bright pink fire truck at various charity events. The truck also will visit the Chick-fil-A businesses in Lady Lake and Mount Dora most Fridays for lunch, where cancer survivors and their families can sign the vehicle.
Lake County commissioners and the county's Public Safety Department donated the retired vehicle to the Lake County Firefighters Charity, a nonprofit established by the Professional Firefighters of Lake County Local 3990 to help support and bring awareness to breast cancer.
Last year the vehicle was part of the National Pink Heals Tour of pink fire trucks.
"People thought it was so cool," said Lt. Brian Gamble, vice president of Professional Firefighters of Lake County Local 3990.
A schedule of the truck's appearances can be found at www.lakefirefightercharity.org.

It's a natural extension of Segway's Patroller product line — an ideal match for missions that require a larger vehicle, which displays a more visible and obvious security presence (even in a parked position without a rider aboard), or that require a rider to frequently mount and dismount the vehicle during a patrol.
Powered by multiple rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries that can be charged at any standard electrical outlet or swapped out for replacement batteries to allow for continuous use, the SE-3 Patroller also features independent direct rear wheel drive, travels in reverse and turns in a very tight radius.
The SE-3 boasts rugged Whelen® emergency lights, a headlight, brake light, siren and lockable storage, as well as a 4.3" color display that is sunlight-readable, which provides the rider easy-to-understand operational data including speed, battery life and distance travelled.
Segway quality — now also on three wheels.

broadest range of lighting applications to offer the best value. Its C4®
LED and parabolic reflector produce a concentrated beam with optimum peripheral
illumination. On high, the light delivers 275 lumens and 9,500 candela over a
beam distance of 195 meters.
The PolyTac HP is engineered to provide
enhanced down-range illumination. It combines a C4 LED with a deep reflector to
produce a far-reaching, targeting beam with a tight spotlight, in addition to
optimum peripheral illumination. On the high setting, it provides 275 lumens
and 19,000 candela over a beam distance of 275 meters.
The new models offer 3 hours of run time on
high, up to 65 hours on low, and 5 hours and 30 minutes in strobe mode. Both
are powered by two (2) 3 Volt CR123A lithium batteries.
Manufactured from high-impact, super-tough
nylon polymer, the lights have been updated to include a superior grip texture
to provide a comfortable, yet slip-resistant feel. Both feature a multi-function,
push-button tail switch for easy, one-handed operation of the momentary,
variable intensity or strobe modes.
"These small but tough polymer lights now
offer super brightness and design improvements that make them indispensable
tools for everything from night-time patrolling, to hunting and camping, to
performing industrial inspections," said Streamlight Vice President, Sales and
Marketing, Michael F. Dineen. "The new PolyTac is the ideal light to carry in a
back pocket or holster for a wide range of tasks, while the PolyTac HP reaches
long distances, making it especially useful for low-light searches, lighting up
a trail, or troubleshooting utility lines."
The PolyTac measure 5.34 inches and weighs
4.2 ounces, while the PolyTac HP measures 5.90 inches and weighs 5.2 ounces.
The PolyTac features a glass lens, while the PolyTac HP features an unbreakable
polycarbonate lens that is scratch-resistant.
Both lights have an IPX7-rated design for
waterproof operation to 1 meter for 30 minutes. Both also are impact
resistance-tested to 3 meters. The PolyTac has an MSRP of $66.95 and the
PolyTac HP has an MSRP of $77.25. Both lights are available in black,
yellow or coyote and come with a removable pocket clip.

Today wasn't a very fun day but it was still a good day in that I am trying to take care of my health. My daughter had her last piano lesson until August (her instructor is taking July off) and I had an appointment at the female dr. for my yearly pelvic exam as well as a mammogram afterwards.
I'm half-way considering (maybe, not sure yet) having a partial hysterectomy, but I'm still too chicken. The doctor I went to was great and didn't pressure me at all and gave me 4 options of what to do about problems I'm having.
I've already had one surgery that didn't take of all my issues so now I have to figure out what I want to do and what I'm willing to live with. I guess I have more research and thinking to do.
The positive thing was that the doctor's scales said 125 pounds! That means they aren't far off from my home scales so that's good to know. The bad news? I found out I lost my 1/2 inch (I was 5' 4 1/2" and now I'm only 5' 4").
I may have mentioned on a few of my blogs that I am co-owner of a local home school group in my area. It has been a learning experience and a trial by fire on several levels, LOL. I've done things that I never thought I would do and have been in situations that were beyond uncomfortable, but I don't regret my decision.
My decision and push to start the group was that there are very few groups in my area and I never found a group that accepted all people in it regardless of their beliefs in homeschooling philosophies, etc. Most groups around here only accept you if you believe in everything they do in all areas and since there aren't that many groups, you're stuck with no social or emotional support.
As I have never been the leader of a group, it's been a huge learning experience and along the way it has been difficult at times because there are so many "gray" areas. We've been asked to break the rules for friends of friends, etc. What a headache at times!
It takes up a lot of my time and the other co-owners time, but I don't give up and keep plodding along and keep trying to learn as I go. I'm sure my confidence is not strong and it shows, but people haven't knocked down the door to leave, so I guess that's a good sign that we're doing okay.
The difficult area is the lack of communication with us. We are not dictators and are fairly lenient and figure that most people join because they want to socialize with other homeschoolers (who aren't judgmental) in our area and want the same for their children. I wish it was so easy as that, but it never is, LOL.
We are left our quite often in the major areas of planning and have had to vocalize more upfront our request for communication and inclusion of major planning events. We are fine with people setting up field trips, park days, Mom's Night Out, etc. without input from us, but large things like co-ops, etc. we should be included in the planning because those are big things.
One person in particular is very "take charge" and it's been a challenge to make sure that her friends (that she brought into the group) don't go to her for everything and come to us. It has been a major challenge, but we're trying hard to make it known (without being ugly) that we are the leaders of the group and we are the ones to come to for that.
Comments, suggestions?????
I ran to Mighty Dollar yesterday while my husband took the kids bowling (free) as we were going in opposite directions. I gave him a Kohl's coupon as he needed some new clothing so he found a few things and also got some Kohl's cash as well.
I spent way too much money at Mighty Dollar (my favorite one which I don't get to go to as much as the other one) and while it was under $50, it wasn't too far away from it!
I found some awesome things there though including some jewelry closeouts, a hanging tomato plant set, plant food, boxes of parchment paper (50 sheets each), mini silicone bowls for the kids lunch/picnic boxes, Cascade power packs for the dishwasher, etc. All things there are $1 each (a few are 4 for $1, some 2 for $1).
I ran by Wal-Mart to get my favorite Bird's Eye frozen garlic cauliflower (to die for, love it!) and was able to get some Laughing Cow cheese (the new cream cheese version that is vegetable based) for $1.68 since I had a $1 coupon, Adidas shower gel/shampoo combination for $1.47 (had $2 coupons), and a few other things. For not having double coupons, I did pretty well I think.
Now that my husband is back home from school I'm going to try to cook a little more. I plan to make some jumbo filled pasta for my daughter, who is a pasta junkie! I've been pinning recipes on Pinterest again and have to say yet again how much I love that site!
There aren't really any grocery deals to be found due to me using my best coupons for limited items this week at the few grocery stores that double now, so I'll probably head out to my favorite Mighty Dollar store that I haven't been to in a while and see what great deals they might have waiting on me to scoop up!
I sold some books for my daughter this week and so she made $20 and I now have less stuff to take to the church consignment sales in September! That means less work, less tagging, less hauling inside and putting up, etc.
I wish I could sell some of my unused home school curriculum before I go to a home school book fair next month as that would give me some extra money to purchase new curriculum for the upcoming new school year. All the curriculum sales near me were cancelled so I wasn't able to sell at them like I normally am.
Which reminds me of my mantra, take advantage of good things while you have them as they usually will be gone when you least expect it. You will kick yourself if you don't and had the opportunity but thought you were too busy or would do it later, etc.
Case in point a fabulous church consignment sale I was introduced to years ago. It was a pretty far distance from my house (about 40-45 minutes) and I wasn't sure if it would be worth my time and effort. It was a gamble, but all the local consignment sale shops (NOT to be confused with CHURCH consignment sales) had shut down and I had TONS of stuff I needed to sell.
I took a gamble and signed up (there was a long waiting list as you got 90% of the profit made on your items and the church got 10%). When I finally got accepted as a consignor I had to deal with the issue of finding someone to take care of my two small kids since I wasn't from this area and had no family (and the hubby couldn't take off from work every time).
The very first time I ended up making over $600! Definitely worth it! I kept signing up every 6 months (they had a spring sale and a fall sale) and many times it was so stressful because it took me forever with all the stuff I had to tag (my mother was yard saling or going shopping and sending me tons of stuff at the time) as well as worrying about getting there on time with the traffic, my car breaking down, finding a babysitter, getting sick (they would drop you if you didn't show up even one time even if were sick), etc.
I went once when I had the flu but had no choice as I had already paid to participate and didn't want to be dropped. One lady I knew had just had surgery and still came for her volunteer time (which meant another trip back and forth to this church).
One year out of the blue weeks before the sale started we got notice that they were no longer going to consign due to some irate shoppers who were ugly while in line and I lost my money that I had paid (they wouldn't mail it to you, you had to drive there to pick it up and only 2 hours out of 2 days that month) and all the time and expense I had put into printing out tags (that were tags required by them only) as well as tagging and cleaning, etc.
Same thing with Harris Teeter, I spent years going to numerous triples and super double coupon events although it was the last thing I felt like doing on many occasions. I'm so glad I took advantage of it because now it's gone.
I could post many different situations I've had happen like the above, so my mantra has always been, do it while you have the chance because all good things eventually come to an end (most of the time).
I took the kids bowling yesterday since it didn't cost me anything other than the gas. Afterwards we ran to a few stores and I was thrilled that I found something I never imagined I would and for cheap on top of that.
I went by Ross Dress for Less as I had not been in awhile and found these ceramic egg holders for lack of a better word. They look like the inside of an egg carton without a cover and are made of porcelain. I had saved one I saw on Amazon for $20 waiting for it to go lower in price.
I bought two of those babies because you know if you see something that you really want at an awesome price, you better get it then because it might not be there when you go back. My price for each one? $2.49!!!
I wanted it because I wanted pretty containers to keep my earrings and rings in and this is perfect!
We also went by one of my least favorite grocery stores, Lowe's Foods, that took over all the Harris Teeter stores in my area. It was like crickets in there, cashiers were standing at the register begging you to check out, not many people shopping, etc. I am still so depressed about the change of stores.
They had on the outside of the store "Grand Opening" but were there any great prices on anything to welcome shoppers into the store? Nope, not a thing. I literally walked out of there with a measly 4 items and paid around $2.50 after coupons. Not a good sign. Meanwhile, Harris Teeter is doubling up to $2 coupons this week, so you can see why I'm deeply depressed and upset still.
I did go by Bi-Lo as well to pick up some Borden cheese that was on sale for $2 and I had found two 55 cent coupons that were doubled, so paid 90 cents each (gouda cheese) as well as some HUGE cans of Hanover baked beans for 50 cents after the buy 1 get 1 free sale and my coupons to get $1 off 2 cans.
Not a great savings for me this week at all compared to how I used to do. I'll keep searching though and hope to somehow find half-way good deals in my area although I know they won't compare to how I used to do at Harris Teeter.
My husband is finally coming home today after being out of town for school (for his job) since Father's Day, so I'm very glad of that since I am exhausted handling everything, LOL. Of course we miss him like crazy too and will be so glad to have him home again.
Since I'm focusing on saving more money this year more than last year, which again will be difficult due to one of my favorite grocery stores closing in my area, I'm going to post a few things that I have found to save money on lately.
1) Our power company sent us a postcard about free energy saving lightbulbs and I received those in the mail this week. I received six 75-watt and six 60-watt bulbs just for filling out the request online.
2) Free summer reading at our library - I signed the kids up at 2 different county libraries. They got a backpack type bag for reading the required number of books already, and there are free events, snacks, entertainment, etc.
3) Free kids summer bowling - I signed the kids up for this again and went ahead and bit the bullet and bought them bowling shoes so we didn't have to pay for bowling shoe rental. We can go every single day this summer for free and they get to bowl 2 free games.
4) State Parks - We live near two state parks so I hope to spend some time hiking or walking this summer provided we don't pass out from the heat, LOL.
5) Drugstore Freebies - They're not usually a freebie up front, but anytime I see a great deal at my local drugstores (national ones) and it's something my family can/will use, I swipe it up. For instance not ago I found a great deal on a toothbrush that was on sale, I got a reward receipt to use on my next shopping trip, and I used a coupon. It ended up costing me almost nothing.
The bonus is that my local Bi-Lo grocery store will accept them as cash so I can get things there for free as well!
6) Joining Pinterest - That has been the best site for me this year to save money and find awesome ideas for recipes, do it yourself crafts, organization tips, etc. I love it so much and the best part is it is free! How do I save money on there? Well I searched for recipes for making your own cleaners and pinned them, searched for recipes for food that my family likes that I can make from scratch much cheaper than buying at a restaurant or store, etc.
7) Stockpiling - I have a nice stockpile of food and toiletries that I have accumulated mostly from shopping at Harris Teeter, but with that being gone I have plenty still so I don't have to panic about running out of something and having to pay full price.
I have plenty of laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, toothpaste, dental floss, razors, deodorant, food, etc. that was purchased for free or close to it. I've given away quite a bit of items over the year and still have plenty for my family.
8) Electronic coupons - This is free and if your local grocery store offers this and you don't take advantage of it, you are losing lots of money. Not all grocery stores offer this, but you can check your local stores internet sites to see if they do. You do have to save the electronic coupons, but it's not hard or complicated and saves me lots of money.
9) Library - I get books and dvds (free at my local library) all the time for free. Some are very up to date movies while others require you to be patient and wait or just go to Redbox and rent for $1.20 a night instead.
10) Coupons - I can't tell you how much money I have saved over the years with coupons. Some people will say it's only for junk food, but that's not true. I have found lots of great coupons for toiletry items, frozen veggies, cleaners, bread, etc.
11) Bread store - We have an awesome thrift bread store not far from my house that I can get 100% whole wheat bread, hot dog buns, hamburger buns, bagel thins, etc. at for 89-99 cents each!
So that's the main way I have been saving money this year. Of course there are more ways than those, but those are some of the major ones right now.
