My now fiance and I went to the Brookview Manor on New Years eve 12/31/14. This was our first Bed and Breakfast and we chose this one because of the good reviews, the price was reasonable and they had a room available. I am so glad that we chose this place because it really was wonderful. The place is very pretty, the staff and owners are very nice and helpful and the restaurant inside had amazing food. The menu was a special one for New Years Eve and was a 7 course meal. All I can say is WOW. It was delicious. Our room, #10, was very pretty, clean and romantic with the hot tub. It was the perfect setting for my then boyfriend to propose. :) This was a memorable experience even if it was for one night. We definatly said we will be coming back again in the Spring. We plan on making this a place we will come to again and again. For some reason I was not able to put in Outstanding on the ratings above. But definatly an outstanding place. :) T.M.

Better than the first. Each room is so unique. The meals are delicious. Especially the CHICKEN ABBY! the murder mysteries are so much fun. The owners are friendly and accomadating. It feels like a home away from home.

This was my first B & B and it was really quaint and nice. The restaurant was one of the best dinners I have had and the family atmosphere makes you feel at home. I would go back here again.

This was the fifth time we stayed at the Brookview Manor. Gail and Marty made our stay great. I was looking forward for the dinners at the restaurant, and I was not disappointed. It's my favorite B&B.

To stay with Marty & Gaile. I recommend the B & B the absolute best we have stayed in. If the room is available, choose the KING. Everyone at Brook View Manor was fantastic! If you have ever had dinner at a 5 Star restaurant, Make a point to eat at My Daughters Place on the first floor. Don't know when we will get back......BUT WE WILL!

It was a prefect weekend, the drive was short and the B&B was a welcome site, the rooms were clean and very comfortable, I liked the fact that everything was right there. I could have a nice and very enjoyable breakfast (which we did) and after exploring the county side we could come back to a great dinner where everything on the menu was wonderful. The staff makes you feel right at home. We talked it over and we both will go back again for a visit or two.

This was our second stay at Brookview Manor Inn and it was as lovely as the first time. Gaile and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. Marty is an awesome chef. We were very happy that we came here again.

Brookview is the perfect place for a romantic getaway. The food was off the chart in excellence and for a reasonable rate. The building is an old landmark and is quaint. Marty, Gaile and staff are great. Guests should not expect modern accommodations. I would definitely stay there again.

We spent a weekend here to celebrate our 27th Anniversary, making the decision primarily on reviews and the listing of amenities. Although the Manor can use a bit of a cosmetic face-lift on the exterior (peeling paint, mostly), everything else is wonderful and in good repair. We spent two nights in Room 11 in the carriage house (with a Jacuzzi) and it was delightful. Dinner on Friday evening in "My Daughter's Place" was truly outstanding - a gourmet feast of escargot, scallops and a cioppino that was out of this world! ...and be aware that the on-line menu does not reflect all of the current offerings. Both breakfasts were equally scrumptious affairs - I have never enjoyed a French toast as much as I did Marty's version. Gaile was a delightful hostess and the entire staff was similarly friendly and accommodating. All around, it was a great stay and I would highly recommend it!

My wife and I spent Veterans Day weekend at the Brookview Manor Inn and had a great time . The staff was very accomodating and made us feel as if we were with family. We stayed in the Fireplace Room on the second fall, it was plenty big and the fireplace made for a cozy atmosphere, although I was hoping it was a wood burning fireplace the gas one was very easy to control. We really couldn't use the large porch and swing because it was pretty cold that weekend but if and when we return we will definitely take advandtage of it. The breakfasts were fantastic, Belgian waffles the first morning and pumpkin and creamcheese stuffed French toast the second, both days with eggs, sausage, mini muffuns, fruit and of course coffee, tea and OJ. We ate dinner at My Daughter Place, which is the restaurant located in the B&B, the food was good, I had steak one night and chicken the other, and I cleaned my plate both nights. My wife had the pork and seafood stew and she enjoyed both, I can't remember exactly what they were called but the chicken, steak and pork were on the regular menu and the seafood stew was a special. All in we would recommend this B&B to anyone looking for a nice getaway weekend in the Poconos. We hiked at Bushkill Falls which wasn't faraway, about 30 minutes, and if you like to ski there are plenty of slopes within 30 minutes. John & Teri, Seaford, NY

My wife and I had such a wonderful time last weekend. We went for a murder mystery weekend, and the event surpassed our expectations. The food was wonderful, and the staff made everyone feel at home. I highly recommend this for a fun and relaxing weekend away.

In all, I enjoyed my stay here. The owners were very friendly and outgoing to make my stay very pleasant. The state of the property is quite quaint and relaxing, however, I hope it is in a transition stage, in that,it needs a bit of work on the paint and other physical attributes of the property. The Murder Mystery , in my opinion, should have been included in the price of the weekend. The "included" dinner was somewhat limited in choices and the included breakfasts were very good but again, limited in options.

My husband and I had a wonderful end of September get away weekend at the Brookview Manor. It was our second Murder Mystery weekend. Food was wonderful, our hosts Marty and Gaile were gracious and accommodating and we had so much fun interacting with the other guests. My husband requires gluten free meals and Marty made superb GF food throughout our stay. We will be back!

As a weekend getaway for myself and my other half, I elected to go to the Poconos. I booked the best room at the brook view manor, which while spacious, appeared not to have been updated in quite a while. We arrived slightly later than expected, and Gaile was very accommodating. She directed us to our room, but told us the fireplace was only for ambience, that they had turned off the heat because others had turned on both the fireplace and the AC when using it in the past. Unfortunately, that was one of the reasons I had specifically requested this room,a dn had been wiling to pay for it. Regardless, upon entering the room, which is very spacious, we found that several window screens we not secular in place, and windows that were accessible to outside stairs and the roof did not have locks on them. Other windows that were less accessible, no easy access, did have locks on them. The bathroom was huge, but with standard shower/tub, toilet and small vanity. The water temp fluctuated between lukewarm, cold and hot from minute to minute so that made it a little tough to manage at a comfortable level. There are cracks in the tub porcelain, tiles were old. Food, both breakfast and dinner was awesome as was the camaraderie with the other guests. Overall, I wouldn't spend the money on this room again, as it really wasn't up to my expectations.
5 su settembre 06, 2013
The owners were extremely friendly and did everything to make my stay relaxing and enjoyable. The husband is a master chef and the food could not have been any more creative or delectable. The location was ideal for convenient sightseeing or shopping.

We went up for a quiet weekend for the chaos of the Fall and it was soooooo nice! everything was so calm clean and friendly. we had the room with claw foot tub across the way... it was no problem. didn't really run into anyone in the hall at the same time.. and the tub was so cute. it was well worth it.. the food was amazing! even here in nyc, ,you hardly find food even HALF as good as Marty's food and for half the price of NYC!!!!! all in all... it was great.. Gail and Marty made us feel very much at home.

Brookview Manor is located in the heart of the Poconos and the surrounding area is beautiful. Gaile and Marty are very pleasant people and welcoming. The people that work there are very friendly. The house is 112 years old and has a fascinating history. Inside the house is very cozy. Marty is a fantastic culinary chef. His dinners and his breakfasts are 5 stars all the way. The room we stayed in was lovely.My only complaint is the cleanliness. The porch should be cleaned off on a daily basis, cobwebs and dirt. Because the weather is so beautiful you'll want to open your windows. The windowsills needed to be cleaned out. All in all, I would recommend this bed and breakfast.

Great fall breakfast made by Marty - yummy! Gaile and makes you feel like family. Decor is lovely and everything has a story. The rooms are pretty and the grounds are also tastefully decorated.

This is our 3rd visit to Brookville Manor Inn and each time we immediately know why we came back. Our hosts are gracious, friendly and welcome us as if we are family. The one owner is a chef and his food is absolutely delicious and you never walk away from this Bed and Breakfast without wishing you could stay longer. Clay and Carolyn Marks

Marty and Gaile are wonderful hosts, very comfortable in conversation and very accomodating. The Inn is also My Daughters Restruant on weekends, with Marty as the chef. His breakfasts were beautifully presented. They were fine with us sleeping in and choosing what time to eat. I hope to stay here again.

We stayed here for the first time and loved the personal touch of Gail and Marty! They are both a lot of fun! We got there on a Friday and settled in and ate a GREAT dinner. Talked to the owners for a little while and made our way back to our room. The room was very nice, it was quiet and we were able to relax. We woke up to a wonderful breakfast and off shopping and site seeing. We will return and hope to be able to get in on a murder mystery weekend! THANK YOU for the relaxing time there, we felt like family!

We just celebrated our tenth wedding anniversary at the best bed and breakfast we have ever visited. From the house architecture and old world charm to the sumptuous breakfasts and dinners everything went above and beyond our expectations. But the jewel crown was the presence of the owners, Marty and Gaile. They are fantastic people who made our stay so enjoyable. They are great hosts who constantly made sure our stay would be memorable. We can't wait to return.

I booked our trip and did not know what to expect. The staff was friendly and knowledgable. The breakfast was terrific and the rooms were clean and cozy. The outside of the building looks like it could use some repair but I had no complaints. The main area has a bar and several rooms to relax. My wife and I would stay there again.

We meet friends at the Brookview Mannor for a Murder Mystery Weekend. Oh the fun we had. The place was a quaint beautiful place. The people were welcoming and the activities were fun! I cannot wait to go back for another weekend!

Gaile greeted me at the door and toured me round the first floor. She is so hospitable, and knowledgeable about the house, furnishings and the area. I felt perfectly at home and relaxed. This is a lovely 112 year old house, gas fireplaces everywhere, antiques abound, cozy sitting areas, a bar built into the Victorian tower. Indoor and out door dining. Then I was ushered to my beautiful room with gas fireplace, four poster bed and wing-back chair and private bath. After settling in I returned to the living area and porch to lounge and crossword while waiting for a friend to arrive. The B and B was on a generator following Sandy's devastation of trees and power lines in the Poconos. Not a glitch in service. Everything worked. Marty, in his grandiloquent, whimsical fashion manned the kitchen with humor and a booming voice. His cooking matched his style, elegant, generous, delectable. The Superstorm caused many cancellations from the greater NY area so sadly the Murder Mystery weekend was also cancelled. There were several couples who made it. All were delightful dinner companions and friendships kindled in the glow of fireplaces, food and wine. I will return in January or February for the Murder Mystery Weekend. Highly recommended.

This B & B is cozy, clean, and is a great place to spend a weekend away from home. Gaile and Marty were both so welcoming and friendly, and really wanted to make sure that all of their guests had a wonderful experience. As a foodie from Philly, the food was fantastic, although service was occasionally on the slow side. I highly recommend eating dinner here every night if you can! My only issue was that there was an uncovered glass panel above our room door, so if the hall light was left on at night, the light came right into our bedroom. That problem, however, is easily fixable. I would absolutely suggest you choose the Brookview Manor if you want a homey B & B with great food.

Recently stayed at Brookview Manor - first time ever in a B & B. I was very impressed and will return. Gaile and Marty are phenomenal hosts, and the food was amazing! If you are staying through Sunday though, there is no dinner service that night so make plans to eat elsewhere; there are plenty of choices within a 10 mile radius. Thanks for a great weekend Gaile & Marty!!!

My wife and I stayed for two weekend nights and enjoyed everything, especially the friendly owners and excellent food. The inn is a historic mansion and carriage house, and the main house has an excellent restaurant for dinner. Breakfast was muffins, eggs, fruit and a different entree each morning, enough food to keep you going until dinner. Dinner at the restaurant was a nice surprise, excellent quality and range of choices fro a small country inn. The owners take real pride in their place and are full of useful information on the area. We will be back.

A cozy and relaxing place to just hang out. Lovely common areas, including a glassed-in wrap-around porch. Attentive service and outstanding gourmet breakfast -- we will return for dinner the next time we are in the area. Recommend spending a little more for the second-floor rooms with larger windows and views.
3,8 su luglio 01, 2012
We stayed at the Brookview Manor of our anniversary. We choose this place for its historic value, close to shops and attractions and for piece and quiet. The breakfasts were excellant and hardy. The inn keepers were friendly and attentive. The porch with the swing is romantic and peaceful. My only negative is that in the description they state that they are off the road. True but not far enough. They are more up a hill and not far enough from the road where we heard cars, trucks and motorcycles. However between them you can hear the sound of the babbling river. A must stay. Can't wait to go back.

Having needed a nice quiet atmosphere to conduct a meeting and do some group writing, this place stood out. Gail and Marty are extremely friendly, and met our few needs without delay. This place has a charm about it that has to be experienced, and the breakfast was nothing short of delicious. We will definitely be returning for a murder mystery weekend and making this place a must attend on a regular basis.

The owners were friendly, courteous, and accommodating. It was quiet, relaxing, and I wish we could do this once a month. The breakfasts were delicious and they give you a lot. The restaurant inside the Bed and Breakfast was outstanding. It was one of the best places I've eaten. The rooms were beautiful and clean and everyone there was friendly. I would recommend this place to anyone!

We enjoyed ourselves very much. If you want a romantic get-a-way with out all the noisy hotels or motels. This by all means is the spot. Very quanit and lovely. The staff was very nice and on top of every need and want. We will be returning on our next aniversary! oh and the food was excellent!

This inn is perfect for a getaway from the NYC Metropolitan Area. Turn your cell phone off and enjoy the peace and quiet that this inn and the surrounding area provides.

The best aspect of this B&B are the owners. They make an extra effort to entertain and help you have the best visit to the area possible. I should include the staff, as well, who were all genuinely friendly, efficient, and striving to help. Sure, like most B&B's that we've been too, this one had a few minor faults, but the it more than makes up for any possible minor faults with it's charm and atmosphere. We also really liked their in-house restaurant. My favorite dish was the Chicken Melli-melli, or some similar name. It was maybe the best chicken I've ever had, absolutely addictive. Most other things we tried were either excellent or very good. Good wine list, too. And all very fairly priced. Thumbs-up from both of us.

This was our first time visit to a Bed and Breakfast and we are hooked. We could not have had a better experience. The host and hostess were so friendly we actually felt like we were friends staying at their house. Such a quaint place nestled in the woods...just what we wanted. And the food was terrific! Can't wait to go back.

For twenty years in the late 20th Century I was the Postmaster at Canadensis. Many days I bicycled fourteen miles and passed the Brookview on my way to work. Talking to Minnie Edwards, who was the Brookview for many, many years, I told her that the aromas of breakfast as I peddled past caused my bicycle to pull toward the kitchen. "Anytime, postmaster, she said, any time that bicycle pulls you in the Brookview, don't fight it. Delighted to have both of you for breakfast." It was, every time, delicious. Such memories!!

Oh, yes, and the breakfast is top-rate. Fresh, filling, and delicious! The rooms are spacious and nicely decorated (we peeked into a few of the others!), the bathrooms were clean and had everything we needed, the grounds have shady and sunny spots to walk and lounge, and the corkscrew and wine glasses in the rooms were a nice touch. The only complaint I have is the lack of common space to just hang out or chat with other guests. The entire downstairs is given over to My Daughter's Place restaurant during the dinner hour. The food was fabulous, but it would be nice for the B&B guests to have a room to relax in aside from the individual bedrooms. All in all, though, we'll be back!

We were expecting a romantic getaway, but we were very dissapointed. The room was small, old, and very smelly. The wall paper was peeling off the walls, the carpet needed cleaning, and the bed linens were covered in stains. In the bathroom paint was chipping and mold was growing. There is definiate potentinal but there are a lot of updates in order to make guests feel more comforatable. We have stayed in other B&B's that were clean and cozey and we excepted the same from this one. The innkeepers were very nice and I do hope that they can make the needed changes.

We spent just two nights and two mornings at Brookview Manor Inn and we are already planning to return. Number 1 was the breakfast! It was delicious everyday and you know what made it the best? The care and love that went into making it. Chef Marty is excellent! The room we were in was also great and Gaile was a great host in making sure we had everything we needed. Very relaxing and cozy!

I understand that a family owned and operated bed and breakfast of this size will have some flaws in some of the rooms, but the food and service more than made up for that. The rooms are clean. The hot tubs are beautiful. The setting is lovely and peaceful. The food is AMAZING! The portions are so big; I think I gained 2 pounds in 2 days. It's so good, you just can't stop yourself. Marty also goes out of his way to cater to those of us with food restrictions. I received special, gluten free meals prepared just for me. We plan on visiting Brookview Manor annually. Next time, we'll stay a little longer. By Tara Deihm

Visiting our kids at camp we decided to give this lovely b and b a visit. Loved the friendly owners and staff ready to give suggestions and directions. Breakfast was great on day one, but I had to opt out on day 2 due to a meeting. Usually guests in bed and breakfasts are asked when they would like to have breakfast, but this one had set hours which were too late for 3 guests that morn.Room and bath in cottage were spotless. we opted for a less expensive room which was small, but spent little time there. Nice porch and common room for hanging out.

We dropped our daughter off at summer camp and with the drive too long to make it back home the same day, we decided to try Brookview Manor Inn. What a wonderful place to relax at! Marty and Gaile were the greatest innkeepers we have ever encountered! They were charming and very hospitable. They also serve dinner in "My Daughters Place" which is on the premises. They happened to be serving dinner that night and so we stayed. We could not have gone anywhere else and had a finer dinner! Did I mention that Marty is a trained culinary chef? With dinner being so outstanding, I couldn't wait for breakfast in the morning. Without a doubt, that was the finest breakfast I've ever eaten! Thanks Gaile and Marty and congrats on that new gran-baby!!

Everything about the place was terrific. The friendliness of the owners (Gaile and Marty) were highly outstanding and the meals that Marty served showed attention to not only detail in the presentation, but the taste as well. The rooms as expected, were not to big nor to small considering the occasion. My wife loved the Fireplace Room and wants to know when I am bringing her back for another weekend getaway. The relative location to the surrounding site (shopping, trail walking, etc) is perfect. Plenty of things to do and see within a 30-45 minute radius of Brookview Manor, with a lot to do inside the 30 minute distance range. Over all, my wife and I enjoyed the quiet getaway of Brookview Manor and are looking forward to returning real soom.

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Brookview Manor for the 3 nights. We stayed in the King suite (thanks for the upgrade Gaile!). Gaile and Marty are wonderful hosts--very friendly, warm and accommodating. Their whole staff is great and they gave us a tour of the property and showed us around the room. The rooms could use some upgrades (some of the TV remotes don't work and some of the lights didn't work as well) but the room overall was fantastic. The breakfasts are to die for! Marty is an amazing cook and well worth getting downstairs to the dining room at 9am. Morning chats with Marty were great and the history of the King suite is very interesting. The inn is very close to the ski resorts, horseback riding and all major shopping areas & casino. Our stay was amazing and we will certainly be going back! Hopefully it doesn't snow the day were leaving the next time lol

My husband and I stayed at Brookview Manor a few weekends back and we really enjoyed our stay! The food was excellent and we loved our room! Only issues I would mention would be that I could hear the woman in the room next to us coughing-not very soundproof-and our room was very dusty. Other than that, the room was clean and I would definitely stay there again! We had a huge breakfast both mornings and a wonderful dinner both nights.

We went for a murder mystery weekend. There were only 4 couples staying there but we had a wonderful time.

My partner and I have stayed with Gail and Marty twice, and we feel like we have known them for years. The food is excellent at the restaurant, the rooms are extremely comfortable, and the hospitality is lovely. Gail is a great hostess who gives lots of personal time and attention to guests while Marty is busy in the kitchen. She knows everything to know about the area, and what she doesn't know, she looks up. She'll help you plan a really nice stay. And Melissa, the "daughter" of the restaurant, "My Daughter's Place," is a personable and excellent barista who makes a good G&T and takes excellent photos of guests. A good place to stay if you want homey and extravagant comfort, good food, and easy access to area attractions.

We had a wonderful time and will be sure to visit again. The owners went above and beyond to meet the needs of their guests. The food was beyond wonderful and the friendliness of the owners and staff were great.

The Inn has incredible food. The rooms need maintenance to spruce up their appearance. The lack of cell phone access is a downer. Staff and owners are superb.

Would definitely recommend Brookview Manor Inn and absolutely would stay there again. Gaile and Marty were wonderful people, very friendly and welcoming. Enjoyed conversation with them over breakfast. The food was outstanding! At the Inn, they do have paranormal experiences, which we are not in to, however they did stay away from the rooms and were respectful of visitors. Overall, a great bed and breakfast to stay in, but Gaile and Marty certainly make it that way...thanks for a great visit.

Evan with all the resturants in the area you cant beat the service style and most of all Martys cooking

Innkeepers Gail and Marty Markowitz are delightful people. Breakfast and dinner were excellent. Inn needs some sprucing up (i.e. air conditioning units updated, outdoor steps need to be fixed).

My boyfriend and I went here for 3 nights in March during my Spring Break. It was a very pleasant experience. The innkeepers are friendly and Marty cooks delicious, filling breakfasts and chatted with us each morning. Our favorite breakfast was the stuffed pumpkin french toast... yummy. We stayed in the Library Room, and it was nicely decorated with antiques and there were recent magazines as well as different books in the room. The bathroom was across the hallway in this room (all the other rooms have their own inside the room), and it had a neat claw foot bathtub. This B&B gave us a friendly, quiet, relaxing atmosphere and was only 10-15 miles from all the 'civilized' parts of the Poconos (like parks, the casino, downtown areas, malls). I would recommend this to others and we will be back again.

The service was amazing. The innkeepers, Marty and Gaile, were down to earth and friendly and provided great service and accomodation upon arrival. The room was spectacular. Truly a peaceful, relaxing stay.

My boyfriend and I stayed over New Year's Dec 31-Jan 2 2010 in the Victorian room #1. From the moment we arrived til our check-out, the service was impeccable. The room was so much better than what the photos show - it was spacious, clean, with extra 2 rooms and the bathroom was fantastic. The sunroom was a great addition too - we really enjoyed fireplace there. It was nice that there were some snacks, sodas and fridge in the room. The house is gorgeous and is well kept. And the breakfasts --oh, how can i ever forget their breakfasts :scrambled eggs, fruit, pancakes, hot muffins, toasts. We will definitely recommend our friends and family to visit this place and will come back in the summer. The only issue we had was with bad wireless reception throughout the area -- neither AT&T nor Verizon or T-mobile work, so if you can leave without cell phone, it wouldn't be a big distraction. HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! -Yelena and Gennadiy

What a pleasure to spend your first Bed & Breakfast experience with Gaile and Marty. What pleasant and friendly people and their daughter "Detective Noodles" is blast. Besides a beautiful place and great food (I am a pickey eater because of a throat condition) the food was excellent and Marty was all to glad to share his receipes. The Murder Mystery was a blast and we had so much fun participating. What a way to get to know a bunch of strangers. We even got to see a bear in very close range. I would recommend the Brookview Manor Inn to anyone and I definately will be back again and very soon. If you have a chance to catch a murder mystery weekend, don't hesitate unless you do not like a good time. What a pleasant surprise I walked into when I went there. My first experience was one of the most memorable I have had in a long time. Thank You All. Julia Punte

What a wonderful weekend getaway! The room was clean and fashionably decorated. Gaile and Marty were extremely welcoming and personable. We appreciated their attention to detail, the delicious breakfast and the peaceful sunsets while we were overlooking the brook. Even though Canadensis is a small town there were plenty of things to do during the weekend. Our stay was so relaxing and we plan on returning as soon as possible!

Why would you say quinn was a commoner,WHY would you make us believe shes kinda of that ranger\stalker style of champ with her diary,to then just shove another yellow\blue armored demacian I am not saying she is bad,in fact,she looks so beautifull,but hey pro tip you cant stalk someone in that kind of armor Unless you have some magic on it.with woulnd't make any sense since shes is a commoner,and shouldn't have acess to such things,at least by now. Well,you guys dissapointed me,again.Dont know why I still have my hopes up The first one post-JoJ death was the Shadow isles event:It held literally NO importance whatsoever IN-LORE(not just justfying a map rework) Just reboot it all already and try to come up with something bad,that FEELS CONNECTED Not just some random lore trowh here and there
Solari Brigadier
If you read the 6th page of Quinn's Journal reveal, she's been promoted to be part of the Demacian Elite. Yes, that means she's undergone a visual upgrade from her days as a commoner. The upper class of Demacia is all upper class, all the time - both in battle and in balls. Yes, this armor might not be the most practical for Quinn to wear every day, when she used to live in the wood, but as a Demacian emissary to the League of Legends, and specifically representing the elite society, this is an outfit she has to wear. Maybe one day she'll be allowed to wear her old, comfortable clothes - the ones that made her famous - onto the Fields of Justice, but for now we have some nice shiny armor to look at.
Not so. Sometimes change can be found from within. Simply because she is counted among the elite, that doesn't mean that she is welcomed among the elite. Demacia is a place where your rise is impeded, you are this and you are meant to stay this. Don't try to shake the status quo. However, Quinn flies in the face of this assumption. People are bound to not like that about her, which causes conflict.

Mother's Day Club
Submitted by f-buzz on Sun, 05/12/2013 - 10:50Mother's Day has always been a tough one for me to stomach. I lost my mom when I was 18. If you have any great mom memories, please feel free to share!
Here's just a few short ones
Sweeping the backyard so we could ice skate and play hockey with brooms
Pulling me out of school to take me to skiing
Making me toast when I was sick
I wish this post stopped right here, but there's another side to this story.
We lost her when I was young. The years leading up to her death were especially rough. Everyone goes through it to some degree, but I put my folks through hell. They were over protective Irish Catholics and I was a hippie punk who would disappear for days at a time with my druggie friends. It put us at odds for years and it was a particularly strained relationship with lots of fights and a lot of things I wish I never said.
I was living in the dorms in my second semester when I found out. A binge drinking college freshman doesn't understand the gravity of late stage cancer. By this time, we were on much better terms, but that didnt change the fact that 75 days later, we lost her.
Apologizing to your crying mom in a hospice bed is not something you want to go through. Yes, you should do it if your relationship is screwed up, but I wish I was just better to her when I had the chance.
For those of you that lost their mom, I share your pain. For those that are still lucky enough to have a mom, make it count

My mother and I also didn't
My mother and I also didn't always have a great relationship but we loved each other. I lost her when I was 33 and did get a chance to know her better after growing up. It was then that I realized how much she did to teach me and my sis. She brought American history to life for us through annual roadtrips. She loved history so much that she wanted us to experience it as she did. If we ever got into a tiff about how we were raised, she'd say she and my dad did the best they knew how. I tried to talk to her more about things that were important, but I really feel like I still didn't do very well at it. She never got to see my daughter which saddens me; she wanted to be a grandmother but never really expressed it much. I realized it when I saw how happy she was when a close co-worker of her's had a baby. I have a beautiful 7-yr-old daughter and my mother would've taken her under her wing to tell her all about American history like she did me. So I'm trying to do everything I can to show my daughter I love her and tell her all about her grandmother (and share a few history lessons too!)

Today I spent a few hours with my 89 Y.O. mother
And our small, but loving, family. On Mother's Day we all see her but never all at one time. We have always come on that day when we could. This year it was organized to show Mom a solid wall of love and support.. we just found out that she has some form of cancer. I have to go to the Dr.tomorrow with my Mom and sister to see what it is and what is going to be the recommended treatment.Her Birthday is Oct 5 and the goal for the family is AT LEAST 90!
My mother has always been so practical and stoic that it is somewhat of a joke within the family. When she was told that she had cancer and I expressed my sadness she said "Oh my God, I'm going to be 90years old ..I have to die from "SOMETHING"!..so tomorrow I will go with my Mom and hear the probably really bad news and help her make some hard decisions along with my sister.I will love her and support her decisions with my whole heart .I will do all in my power (of legal attorney) to keep her from pain and keep her in her home. (though she has never had me make that promise to her "because that is selfish")to love her til the end and keep her beautiful life beautiful. This was a great Mother's Day because my mother's love brought us all together once again. she loves us therefore we all love her and each other.

My mother and I co-owned a
My mother and I co-owned a business. I told her goodnight as she left on evening. She never got out of bed the next morning. As much as that hurt her very words came back to me.
The way she would lighten up a funeral by telling funny, yet life changing, stories about the way the deceased lived. What amazed me is she could always find that in anyone.
We all look back in one way or another. For me I have to think if I would have know that was the last time I would have...... It appears you have become a Liberty loving person. Your mom did well and I am sure she is proud of you. The last thing she would want is you feeling guilt over her. No parent would want that.

My mom had fun writing crazy excuse notes
to the high school when she let us be absent for whatever reason. "P was absent because of the lumbago." Stuff like that. The school was not amused, but there was nothing they could do about it. She also wrote lots of letters to the editor of the local weekly newspaper, using hick talk to make fun of and exposing the corrupt county supervisors. She quit the letters right before her eldest child started high school so that we wouldn't be discriminated against by the teachers because of her locally famous writings. Even so, my high school teachers used to ask me if JE was my mom!! She taught her kids, by her example, to be irreverent towards governmental authorities.
She is a published poet with the Sacramento poets group and earned a M.A. in American Literature.
She died a couple of years ago at age 81.
P.S. I ought to add that she taught me to read with McGuffy's Primer when I was four. I remember it like it was yesterday.

Fbuzz - my heart goes out to you.
You should forgive yourself - you were just a kid. I'm certain your mom loves you no less for it. Your path has been a difficult one.
Keep talking to her. A mother's love never dies. She will be listening.

My story is somewhat similar
I lost my mom when she was 49, and I was 17. She was diagnosed with skin cancer on Oct. 31, 1988 and died on May 2, 1989 (right during the time they are hyping up mother's day on every TV and radio channel). I was a senior in high school and totally preoccupied with my boyfriend/friends drama and getting into drinking and stuff that worries mothers. I just could not get it through my head that she was dying. I kept thinking she'd get better. Six months wasn't a lot of time to grow up and get over myself.
By the time I realized she was dying, I was paralyzed with fear and could barely talk to her. There were no goodbyes or last minute apologies. I had so many regrets and was devastated with grief. It took about 10 years to feel normal again.
You never know how much your mother is a part of you until you've lost her.
- Login to post comments
My God
I know exactly what you are saying. I never had the words strong enough to describe what I felt on the days leading up to it, but "paralyzed with fear" says it all.
I hope that you have been able to come to terms with it, but I know I still haven't. It's been 13 years and it took me this long to feel comfortable sharing this with a bunch of strangers on the Internet. I pray that you will soon feel the relief I just did when I clicked the submit button.
You sound like an incredibly thoughtful and intelligent person. I'm sure your mom understands and is 100% in your corner.

It was nice of you to start a thread about losing your mother. It can serve a comfort for those of us who have lost her and as a source of advice for those who still have her.
It's been 24 years for me. I don't feel sad or guilty anymore. Time does heal all wounds. I found that mourning would fade and then come back again, fade again, and come back again. Sort of like an elliptical orbit around the pain that gradually moves away from the source, but at times intensifies although at a diminshed intensity than the last time. Hopefullly that makes sense.
I gained a better understanding of the whole situation. To finish off my healing, I now have three little children to fill the hole in my heart. I will try to raise them to be unselfish and think of the family as a team. I'm going to homeschool them to keep them close, and teach them responsibility for themselves and "the team." Hopefully I can give them the right frame of mind to deal with tragedy if it comes their way. (I will also use lessons from the Ron Paul homeschool curriculum.)
Thank you for your prayers, and I will also pray for your continued healing from the trauma of losing your mom. No doubt your mother is in Heaven with perfect understanding of everything that happened and feels only love for you.

I just lost my mom this past
I just lost my mom this past Thursday. She had several physical challenges during her life, but I never heard her once complain about it or play the victim role. The odd thing was that she seemed to be on the mend lately, when out of the blue she quietly slipped away. I suppose it's a bit fortunate that she didn't have to endure too much suffering.
There's a list of things I wish I had been able to do or say to her before this happened, but I think no matter how long she lived, there would have always been some sort of list. The best thing I can do now is to spend a lot of time with my dad. It's the first time he's been by himself in 49 years. As he said "it's always been us, not just me. I don't think I can ever get used to that".
What I learned from her was a tremendous strength in adversity and to never lose your sense of humor! She had a great ability to find out what your concerns were, and then make them her own. Even though she didn't agree completely with me on political issues, she donated to Dr. Paul's campaign a few times because she knew it was important to me.
This is why I come to this site everyday. Not only am I always learning about the cause of liberty and current events, but how many other places will you see these type of discussions (non-mainstream!) on Mother's Day?

I am so sorry for your loss.
My father battled cancer for several years, and beat it. We all breathed a sigh of relief, and six months later he dropped dead of a heart attack at my mother's feet. They were at Cincinnati Music Hall, on the escalator going up. :) A doctor and nurse were behind them, CPR was begun immediately, but he was just gone. Forgive me for sharing not a "happy" memory here, but a poignant one. I was out of town on a business trip with my husband, had to fly home get the kids, pick my husband up at another airport (they could not get us on the same plane.) When I finally got there almost 2 days later, this devastated tiny little thing came to me, almost as if I were the mother and she the child looking for answers... "He didn't even say goodbye" she said, and she began to weep.
I'm sorry to welcome you to the "mother's day kinda sucks" crowd, but if it is any comfort, it is a club we all join eventually, unless something even more tragic happens.
Love or fear? Choose again with every breath.

I think my dad
Said the same exact words. Nothing anyone can say will be able to convey what they truly feel for you. With you by his side everything will come to pass. My mother had the same characteristics, dying of colon cancer but mad at you for missing work to see her.
I'm still not a religious person, but I know for a fact God exists. I can prove it by the way I feel when I think about her. May your days be blessed and moments remembered.

Furlough, thanks for sharing and putting yourself out there.
I lost my mom when she was 49. I was 25. Didn't get to say goodbye. My daughter was 2yrs old, so she did at least get to enjoy a couple years of being a grandmother.
My mom was a down earth person. She was a great cook and had a creative, artistic side. And she loved to laugh. There were difficult and tense times, and I wish she'd had a better life, but at least there was laughter.
I'm glad you had closure with your mom. Maybe you can come to forgive yourself over the things you regret. I'll bet she has.
Our moms are prolly in heaven swapping funny stories right now about all the silly and embarrassing things we did when we were young. ;)

Yesterday, Our Family Got Together To Celebrate Our Mothers Day
Yesterday, Our Family Got Together To Celebrate Our Mothers Day
My mother is just like a little kid when it comes to the holidays and and of course her day. Mother is so cute and tiny but she has a good right hand. (I fear she might hurt anyone who might be thinking about taking her guns away.. (Annie Oakley incarnate- huh!))
Yesterday, mu cousins delivered some of my deceased aunts (my mothers older sister) precious belongings they wanted her to have. My Mother was so surprised and animated and thrilled to have that special necklace my aunt had owned for years and years. Also, she was given a brand new big screen TV and a couple of nice antique lamps and other items too numerous to mention. I was happy for my Mother and we all chipped in and helped arraigning these things for her and after we watched as she opened her Mothers day gifts with her entire family around her. She was so happy as she was overcome with joy.
What a joy to have such a great and happy Mother. She said the best thing about Mothers Day was having her family around her. That is all she really wanted.
My eyes are watering now so I will end here..

Much like you, I lost my mom at age 17 (she was 44)...
...but in our case it was a bitter-sweet thing because our mom (there were 10 of us) had a lot of mental/emotional issues which were magnified by lots of drug/alcohol use.
We had her institutionalized 4 times because she kept going off the deep end.
She could have just as easily have ended up in jail for child abuse (nothing sexual - just violence, both physical and psychological) as her substance abuse took control of her life - and ours.
So Mother's day is a meaningless holiday for me.
Actually I think we have way too many "Hallmark Holidays" which are just commercial traps.
I boycott most of them.

I have to re-visit that clip now and again....
Yes, the Brothers for Mothers Day video is priceless. I come back to that clip every few months for a good laugh. It never gets old.
On a more serious note, I lost MY Mom on July 1, 2006. Even though it has been almost 7 years, the reality of knowning that she is "not here" continues to hit me like a shockwave. For a looong time, it seemed so....impossible!
In life, we usually have options and opportunities....the ability to change things. But death is so FINAL! It is non-negotiable! Never have I known anything to be so "permanent".
On the bright side, my Mom's Mom is still aliove and we are celebrating HER, Today!!! For this opportunity, I am deeply and greatly-BLESSED!!!

Thank You
I realized that my mom was very alone about a year ago...She is 74. Now, her and I go out to Garage Sales every Friday. She spends hours on Craigslist on Thursday night writing them all down...she looks so forward to it all week...and it is so fun. Today, I am going to take her to lunch and then we are going to the Portland Timbers mothers day game (Soccer). We have had our fallout's for years, and my sister won't talk to her....that is another story... Time is short here...and these people will be gone. Spend time with them. Include them in your everyday fun. Happy mothers day.
One more thing that is hilarious. When we go to a garage sale and it is horrible, my mom will keep apologizing like it is "Her Fault". That the sale was bad. Talk about comedy.....I keep telling her...why are you apologizing? She says "I just don't want to waste our time, because these days go by so fast.".

Yes outdoor pedestal tables are really hard to come by. Don't think I've ever seen stone but I'm sure they are pro. out there some where. I included a link to an aluminum pedestal table you can check out if you like. |

I'm helping someone manage/rent their house while on a military tour. Northern VA area. Anyway, got a call that there's no hot water.
It's a heater with some sort of induction fan, looks like a blower fan sitting on top. I paid for a mechanical service call, and they say we need a new fan assembly (parts are not available, so entire unit has to be replaced), and total cost for parts and labor will be $940. Apparently this fan delivers air to pilot or something. Any thoughts on
Unit is about 8 years old. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
This is a powervent water heater. This type of system is use in a couple of situations: They can be used for better efficiency or (usually the case) to side vent out the wall instead of building a flue through the roof. Typical price of the entire water heater is $800-1000. I have no idea what the price is for the part or what is reasonable labor in your area. Naturally, since the whole heater costs $900, I think the price is high. It should be a reasonably fast swap out. However, you may be stuck. Just make sure they aren't guessing about the cause of the problem. Also, since you are talking about an 8 year old heater, you might want to consider replacement. Typical life on a heater is 12-15 years. I would call someone else and have them give you a price on fixing the existing (you think it's the blower fan, but not sure) and replacing the entire unit. |

Thanks. You are correct. It's an A.O. Smith 50 gal. w/ power vent out the side wall. First quote to swap out the fan assembly was $900+, while a total replacement was $1500+. Second quote was part + labor....if they or I could get the part. Turns out the big plumbing supplier didn't have it on the shelf, no one has, and neither did AO Smith on their shelves, so add 4 days for them to get it so they can send it. Nice. Part cost was $404 alone. And 2nd firm's quote for a total replacement, different manufacturer - approx. $2000. Anyway, it will be swapped out at the - gulp - $1500 range. So my first experience with these things tells me they really have you over a barrel when they fail. (This is in Arlington, VA.) |
You will do what you have to do. When you don't have hot water, you have to move quickly. It's crazy that the combustion blower costs $400 and takes 4 days to get. This represents several people along the distribution chain making a 100% markup -- when they aren't even stocking the part. Any part should be able to move from any location in the world overnight. You would think that AO Smith would have a parts network that could get any part to any dealer by the next day. You would also think that a plumbing shop could swap out a blower in a short amount of time and still make plenty of money for overhead, truck expenses, etc. Why is it that plumbing service is so bad and expensive? If the customer wants hand holding and color brochures and several trips to the house to make up their mind, that's one thing. But a normal water heater replacement should be fast and reasonably priced. |
Well said, Jake. Perhaps I need to prepare for the next eventual failure on the newly installed unit (which took 2 1/2 hrs total to install). What parts fail most often on power vent heaters? Now that I learned fans are hard to get, but what about other parts? Thanks. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Pepper!
Facts about Pepper
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black & White Or Tuxedo
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Pepper's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Pepper came in with her mother, Polly. Both are up for adoption. They are attached but can be adopted separately. Pepper is very sweet and likes to be held. She stands up for attention. The more attention she gets the happier she is. Pepper is about a year old.
Polly and her mother were trapped at a local trailer park and taken to animal control to be euthanized. A Shadow Cat Advocate volunteer got them out before they could be killed.
Pepper has tested negative for feline leukemia and FIV, has been dewormed, and is up to date with all her shots. Pepper requires a home where she will never be declawed, or allowed to go outside.
If you would like to find out more about adopting this delightful cat, please call Cari at 571-408-9626 or email email@example.com. We answer emails as quickly as possible, but calling for info will be much faster.
Other Pets at Shadow Cat Advocates
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Pepper, a Stafford Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Stafford, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Stafford.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Stafford already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Stafford breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Stafford paves the way for another one to be saved.

This post, inspired by Helen V Smith's 2013 Australia Day challenge will be about John's wife Margaret HUDSON, my first female direct ancestor to arrive in Australia.
Believed to be Margaret HUDSON |
I think that she most likely arrived on the Zamora which left Plymouth 1 April 1882 arriving Brisbane 14 July 1882 with the shipping list showing
- Matthew HUDSON age 22
- Ann HUDSON age 18
- Margt HUDSON age 16
Margaret's wedding to John GALLIGAN in 1888 was witnessed by Annie HUDSON (and I've subsequently confirmed Annie was in Australia via her marriage to Thomas SKELLY & death certificate in 1919 which confirmed her parents and said she resided 39 years in Australia ie arriving 1880).
But was there a brother Matthew?
The answer is yes and the Queensland police service file and insanity file at the Queensland State Archives have confirmed the family relationship. However, I have found no trace of Matthew after 1888.
I wonder if Matthew knew John GALLIGAN who was also a constable in the Queensland Police? There was certainly a period where they both served in the Brisbane city area. Perhaps he introduced the couple. Guess we'll never know.

Hello. I was at a pet store the other day and I noticed how intricate the aquariums were set up. I was wondering exactly how they are set up because I'd like to take that idea and apply it to my pond. the water was so clear and the fish seemed happy. I know they used a lot of PVC piping because it was all over. I just don't know the details of the setup. If anyone knows or has a good website explaining it I would love to learn. thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
You were very likely seeing a flow through system, filtered through a sump, with automatic top offs fed from a fresh water supply. But for a single pond, which is in essence, no more than a single very large tank, you don't need anything so elaborate. For good pond filtration info., ask the folks over on the Pond Board. Lots of experienced and helpful ponders there. |
You could also set up a sump system for your pond. It can be merely a DIY job and hidden under some landscapeing for camoflauge. Pet stores usually have UV filtration that kills bacteria, parasites and free floating algaes. There is alot of indoor aquarium equiptment that can be used in a pond, or can be replicated on a larger scale for pond use. |
Depending on the size of your pond the newer filtration systems usually consits of bottom drains hooked to a settlement chamber/filter with a return pump. A surface skimmer is usually part of the system. As BW said the pond forum has many experts on the latest systems. A store multi tank setup wouldn't work well on a pond [no bottom drains to collect gunk and leaves]. |
Well there you go. Good point James on the leaves and gunk. I kind of thought of a way to use a sump system for a pond, whenever I build one at the new house (whenever thats done). I will incorporate a bottom drain into the system. Thanks for the food for thought. |
woeisme, I have a 180 gal outdoor fiberglass pond with just an internal filter and I dump it every spring to clean it out. When I get a bigger pond i'll probably have 2 bottom drains and a skimmer. I'm sick of doing maintenance. |

December 29, 2010
Jefferson City, Mo. - Attorney General Chris Koster said today he has reached a settlement with Lisa Langer Young for violations of the Animal Care Facilities Act.
Koster said Young owns Lisa Langer Young Farm, a commercial breeder facility located in Shelbina. Department of Agriculture inspections over the past six months uncovered numerous violations of the Animal Care Facilities Act. Young failed to provide adequate ventilation and odor control; failed to provide clean, dry bedding and wind and rain breaks to protect the dogs from the elements; failed to provide shade for the dogs; failed to clean and sanitize the facility or to provide adequate space for the dogs; failed to remove sharp wires and metal from the kennel areas; and failed to provide adequate veterinary care or maintain veterinary records.
Koster said under the current settlement agreement, Young is required to either sell or give away the dogs in her breeding facility and shut down her business for a period of five years. The court has assessed penalties should she violate the Animal Care Facilities Act during that time.
Koster, in cooperation with the Department of Agriculture, has made cracking down on illegal dog breeders and sellers a priority in his office.
"We have an obligation to protect the wellbeing of animals, and Missouri has recognized that obligation by passing laws outlining acceptable standards for pet breeders and commercial pet dealers," Koster said. "This office will diligently continue to see that those laws are enforced."

Cool! I have blurry pictures of Mario Lopez!
Mandy called earlier this morning to let me know that her and Paul are at the Magic Kingdom and they were there just in time to watch the couple who won the Valentine's Day wedding get married in front of Cinderella's Castle! How cool is that???? Mandy was pretty physced by the fact that she also got to see Ryan Cabrera singing to the couple.
Then she called back a little later to let me know that Ryan and his girlfriend were just in front of them in line at Peter Pan's Flight...but she was too much of a chicken to ask for his picture. Actually....Mandy's exact words were, "well, when I become a celebrity I won't want people always asking for my autograph!!!" Wow...is she dilluded or what?!? Love ya Mandy!!! And don't forget...I knew you when!
Well...while I was on the phone with her I heard her and Paul both say, "Congratulations!!!". It ended up being the wedding couple walking by them!
What a way to get married!
Cool! I have blurry pictures of Mario Lopez!
So would I.
Who is Ryan?
They call me "Nana"
Oh, and the word is "deluded", Jerrame.
They call me "Nana"

Last week it became common knowledge that Republican Louisville businessman and former Metro Louisville councilman Hal Heiner would enter the 2015 gubernatorial primary today, with former Lexington councilwoman KC Crosbie as his running mate. An announcement by Heiner is scheduled for 10 a.m. this morning in Lexington, with one to follow in Louisville at 5:30.
But via KC Crosbie's Facebook page, here's the first official confirmation of that news:
This morning, the Crosbies join with the Heiner family on a campaign. At our Lexington announcement beginning at 10:00 a.m. (Star Manufacturing,1200 Russell Cave Road, Lexington), I will have the honor of introducing the next Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
Without question, Hal is the most authentic and successful man that I have worked with in my many years in public service. He has the intellect, experience and maturity to lead Kentucky in a new direction. I have the privilege of being his running mate as his Lt. Governor and am excited about what the future holds. For those of you who may not know Hal, I look forward to you meeting him over the next several months.
I ask for your thoughts and prayers for both of our families as we begin this long and challenging campaign.
Crosbie also posted the Heiner/Crosbie logo, above.
We already have punches being thrown between Republicans in the US Senate primary, but now it looks like we'll have about 20 more months worth of the same in the gubernatorial race between Heiner and — eventually — James Comer. And unlike the Senate race, the punches won't be between the Kentucky GOP establishment and the Tea Party outsiders, but between the establishment itself.
We'll be at the Louisville announcement at 5:30, which you can follow along with live on our Twitter feed here. We'll be taking Republican roll…
