Good morning
Jill gets the tiara to wear to her new job
Link to the last thread
I hope that the storm passes without too much damage DM. Sounds like Ben is missing his mummy. How is he enjoying student life? When do you fly back over the pond?
How is the weather round your way too Sharon? Is Etna settling down?
What a coincidence that we are rooting for the husband of BFFs of both Suzanne and Jill to get jobs that they deserve but are having difficulties getting. Good wishes to the both of them.
Last night DS was out for dinner (he went to a whiskey tasting - by train) and DH and I had finished eating when friends from out of town called to say that they were coming to our neighbourhood to pay a condolence call and could they drop in to us. Of course DH said yes and then was very surprised when I started getting a meal ready. But of course they came in hungry. At least he had the grace afterwards to say that I had been right to start cooking. There was some soup left over from the weekend but all other leftovers had gone on friends who were round on Saturday. Now there are lots of fresh leftovers as well as the thawed stuff I had got out of the freezer before they called to make up for us for today and onwards..... So DH can complain about the fridge being full- all over again.....
Well Ann either we are early and everyone else left town.
She's out sick today so I'm not going to have to much free time so I thought I'd stop by now and say hello.
Hope everyone gets a job, hope everyone's weather is great and hope everyone is feeling good.
Maybe everyone else has taken to the hills Norma. Why doesn't it surprise me that she is having a long weekend?
I like your wishes for everyone. Not sure about jobs but our weather is great. At the moment at least. Only people are already starting to worry about the fact that we have not had almost any rain yet. Since we have someone coming next week to abseil down the side of our house and fix a crack in the wall which lets water in to the electricity box each year- it will probably rain next week in buckets.....
Ann, it's funny but Ben hasn't mentioned how much he likes uni life. He is doing uni radio which must please him to no end. I fly back next Tuesday and arrive on Wednesday. I'll have to hit the supermarket this Wednesday to make sure I have everything. Good thinking about the cooking.
Good luck to the DH's looking for jobs and for the DS.
Hi Norma, how are you feeling?
Did you hear anything about how the storm was DM?
I'm home from bookclub, pedicure, and shopping. Doesn't seem like much, but it did take up most of my day. Now I'm having a rest well supper is in the oven. I have another call committee meeting this evening. I'll need to be in top form.
I saw pictures of the English storm on the weather channel today. It looked fierce.
Norma, it's not a surprise that you are alone at work again. That girl gets more time off than anyone I have ever heard of! How soon do you leave for Aruba?
Hooray for good weather! It's a beautiful day here today. The sun is shining and it's a little on the cool side, that beats the snow we had on Saturday.
Carol, what treats are you planning to take back home with you?
And,, good for you for being able to pull together dinner so quickly. I don't think I could do that!
Suzanne - you would have pulled together dinner for 20 in the time it took me to feed another 2. Still we ate the quiche for dinner last night and I have some for my lunch today so it was worth it. I made a stew in the slow cooker overnight for DS for lunch today and thought of channelling you. DH and I are out tonight at a work do of his so there is only dinner for DS and no more cooking for today... If I leave work at a reasonable time I might even get to go swimming on the way home..... I am glad that you are getting in some nice weather again before the snow sets in properly.
Are you in touch with BFF DM? For news of the storm in your area? Sounds like it was short and sharp.
DS was studying for his psychometric tests from old books he had when I got home yesterday which was a very good sign I feel. He has also sent off his cv to his uncle who turned up with an advert for people wanted in his company and offered to take them DS's cv straight after he was released from the army. At that time DS back pedalled so that also seems to me a good sign that he is now more interested. The big advantage (apart from the fact that BIL's firm is known as a great employer) is that it is just down the road from where we live so that could be very useful especially if there are shifts involved. On the other hand if they have still not found someone and have been looking since August - it may not be up to much...... Or things just take longer than one thinks?
How is Etna doing Sharon? Or rather how are you doing with Etna? Any news on your eye??
Good luck at court today DM
So is she going to be moving with you to the new place Norma??? Any chance for a reunion with Alex????? I miss Alex
I also miss Jan and Lisa. Hope that things are well with them.
I think they just had some wind and rain. Some how where we live, we miss the worse of the weather.
Suzanne, I still have to hit the supermarket for bits and pieces. Tastykakes definitely are coming home with me and lots of pumpkin stuff for Ben and hot stuff for Sian. Oh, cake mixes especially for dogs and some treats we can't get for the cats. You could make up a quick supper for 20.
Ann, hope you get that swim in. I am in touch with BFF but she hasn't said a thing about the storm. Good luck to DS for a job in BL's company.
Funny, I normally get up around now but all I want to do is go back to bed. Court this morning. Thanks Ann. I just hope that the judge isn't stupid and will make nephew give my sister time with Ayden.
I am glad that the storm left your house in peace.
I can see why getting up is not an attractive proposition. You are going to have to be the calm and calming influence today. I hope that it goes well. What has come over neffy?
Hello Ladies,
I leave for Aruba November 12th and hopefully son will be home on the 9th. He will then take care of the cats and the car and that will all be good.
I know she took off because her boyfriend is back in town and he left on tuesday to visit his mother in arizona so she probably wanted a long weekend but I hate lying. She said she didn't feel well and that is just plain bull.
You are so funny, no she is not going with me. I don't know where she is going and Alex and I speak often. I miss him too.
Well fingers crossed Ann your son figures out what he would like to do. Carol your son still works and goes to school. That is never easy.
I really think your sister has a good shot. I know grandparents have rights they didn't always get.
I also miss the ladies that use to come in and say hello.
Been a strange day here. Started out visiting a friend who was giving an English class to a 25 year old. He is heading to a town outside of London (I think W. Hampton?) next month and is practicing conversational English. It was fun to join them. He is a chef and gave me directions on cooking risotto. Ended with a call from the local Tabbachi shop to come and help a couple who speaks English but no Italian. They are from Germany. It seems they put money into a phone but could not use the phone. I am the wrong person to solve that problem but could direct them to the local Internet Cafè where it took 5 minutes for the owner to straighten everything.
My eye is still the same. The doctor said she was going to resolve it the long way. Giving me medicine might cause other issues so we up the drops and drink "green tea"! Sounded strange to me and I was very disappointed that some medicine was not in my reach. Looked up Macular oedema and there it was "green tea".. as a solution to my problem. She told me to get the green tea from the pharmacy not the supermarket. I asked the pharmacy man if it was something different and he said "more pure". I got the capsules.
Carol...hope the court decision was the right one and that it is now behind you.
It's been a very busy day. I saw my chiropractor this morning and then went to quilting. They are in a rush to get several quilts ready for the sale on November 16, so my extra hands were needed.
I came home for lunch, and then had a rest. I took DD to the photographer to get her Christmas pictures done after school. I already have the Christmas cards ready to send to people out of the country. I still need to buy thank you cards, as I am sure there will be several meals delivered to our home.
Two people gave me the pattern for knitting pneumonia vests for children in underprivileged countries. I need to go out and buy the needles this week. I got the yarn on the weekend. It's something I can do lying down without having to think too much.
Sharon, I hope everything goes well with your eye. Do you drink the green tea or just swallow the capsules?
Carol, sounds like you know exactly what you need to get at the supermarket. You should be proud of both of them for going back to school. Is there any news about court?
Norma, I hope to share your vacation with you vicariously. Will you be able to post photos for us?
Did you get any rain yet, Ann?
Well I have my umbrella with me and we brought the things in from the balcony so I expect that it will not rain although it does look very much like it. It has been raining in other places in the country though.
I hope that the green tea and the drops help Sharon. How bad is your sight?
How did the court go DM?
Pneumonia vests?
Ann, what has come over neffy? His new blushing bride. The one that looks between 6-7 pregnant but neffy is denying that she is? She is a skinny little thing with a definite bump.
The good news is my sister now gets Ayden Thursdays after school. The bad news, to me, is that the judge liked my neffy and his lies. He was very articulate and calm while my sister started to cry. I wasn't happy with the judge's attitude towards my sister because neffy put the blame on her and her family for the "negativity" that Ayden feels/felt in their presence. The judge wouldn't allow anything said against neffy even though there was so much to tell about his and his wife's treatment towards Ayden. After the court mom and I left but the others had to stay for the papers and the wife had a go at my sister and then Ayden's mom. All verbal but it got so loud by her that the bailiff started coming down the hall. Neffy goes back to court next month for domestic violence.
There was a segment in the proceedings that I wanted to pull my hair out. My sister brought up the fact that Hanukkah falls on Thanksgiving and that she would want Ayden on the night. The judge asked aren't there 8 nights? Yes. I wanted to say Wednesday is the 1st night so no probably but I kept my mouth shut but mom didn't. So my sister with a sweep of her left hand towards neffy and Ayden's mom said, they aren't Jewish. Jaw drop one. Then the judge asked if there were any other holidays that she would want Ayden, yes Passover. Jaw drop 2, My sister never had a seder at her home. Jaw drop 3 was when the judge asked neffy if Ayden knows about the holidays. Yes he said, he knows about the candle lighting one. (banging head on table). My mother years ago gave my sister the family menorah. Did my sister use it? Who knows but it looked very nice next to their Christmas tree. I am venting here. Sadly, the menorah must have been destroyed in the fire. I would have rescued it if it had been okay.
Norma, I hope you have a wonderful relaxing time. Ben isn't working, just going to uni.
Sharon, North Hampton? The risotto, is it stirred or just left and the pan shaken? I guess also drinking green tea wouldn't hurt. I heard that white tea is better than green for medicinal use.
Suzanne, hopefully you won't be bored after the op. How about cross stitch?
Today is an in day. Tomorrow I will hand out lollypops to the kids while eating a hoagie. Trick or treat is between 3:30/4 to 8pm. Then the lights go out. I wonder if mom remembers where the gorilla mask is.
Hello everyone,
Well checks have been given out and payroll is up to date. A good day.
Sharon I knew green tea is suppose to be healthy but used for an eye problem, interesting. Good luck with that.
Suzanne I don't too many photos but if I do, I can always send by e-mail.
Ann whenever I carry an umbrella nothing seems to happen but heaven forbid I forget it..................
Carol I would have thought it would have gone better then that but sometimes you do get a stupid judge, as a matter of fact, there are a lot of stupid judges out there. At least she gets one day with him. Well maybe your sister was trying to get more time with him and by mentioning the jewish holidays she thought it might be to her advantage. How does your nephew earn a living, is he working.
How is Ben managing without working. Is his dad helping him?
Oh I think Suzanne is going to be doing a lot of projects to keep herself busy.
Big thing of the day is husband coming thru the door with "bags" of fruit and vegetables. The fridge is stuffed. He gets carried away and can't help himself.
I take the green tea capsules and drink green tea'd water. I do notice the swelling has gone down some.
Carol..you always get caught up in stuff. Do they save it for you or do these things go on all the time. I thought that video was pretty good for an amateur video. Did they do a few takes??
We are having the best weather but rain is forecasted for ALL next week.
Sharon did they say what they would do if the green tea doesn't work?
Excellent news!
The cardiologist phoned me to say that he doesn't believe I have had a heart attack. He said he could see how the EKG could have been read that way, but the echocardiogram shows no sign at all. So that was a huge relief!
He did say there was an unclear reading on the echocardiogram and he wants me to have another test, perhaps in January when my hip is healed enough. He says it's very minor, nothing to worry about.
He will contact my surgeon and forward the results to him so the original EKG will not take precedence.
I listened to the tape of the spiritual reading that I had done in 2006. I wanted to review the information she gave me about DS 2 and his girlfriend to be. I had totally repressed the fact that she started my reading by saying that she wanted me to be very careful about my heart health. She said I needed to walk a lot more and stop using fat in my diet. She said it was not serious yet, but I needed to have some prevention to avoid difficulties in the future. How I wish I had listened more closely then! There will be major changes made around here. I've had enough of a scare.
Carol, I have watched enough crime shows to know there are a lot of stupid judges. Sometimes I wonder how they can possibly make the rulings that they do. I am confused. Is your sister Ayden's grandmother?
Pneumonia vests are donated to hospitals in underprivileged countries. They are used to keep babies and young children warm at night. I think I could knit one lying down.
Sounds like it's going to be rain everywhere. We are forecast for six days of it.
Happy Halloween. Does anyone do anything special for Halloween? DD is dressing up I know Suzanne. Does she trick or treat? In the rain??
Great news about not having had a heart attack!!!!!!!!!!! And was that a favour that the cardiologist did for PIC to check it again? How lucky that you did it. Um - so what DID the spiritual reading have to say about DS2 and GF????????
Good for you for keeping calm in the court DM. Sounds like a stupid judge but at least your family will be able to keep regular contact with Ayden. Does the domestic violence charge concern Ayden too?
Actually not raining here today - even yesterday it just spat a bit here but boss and cw who went up to Nazareth in the north said that they were driving through really stormy weather and heavy rain. They brought back a large tray of Arab sweets - kadaif and baklava etc. Very good. Yesterday I was on a fast day so did not touch them. Today I have already made that up. Goes to show that fast days are a good idea even if it is not a fast day as such - just a non baklava day. This evening DH, MIL and I are invited by the bank to dinner and a film - and a lecture on investments in a big cinema complex in the next but one town. Why have they invited us? Not sure and certainly not due to the amount of money in the account. But the film is The Butler which we wanted to see and a free dinner - so probably worth the lecture (no such thing as a free lunch). And DS who usually invites friends over for card games on a Thursday night can invite them earlier than usual as we will be out - so he is pleased too.
Happy Halloween!!
Norma, my nephew is under a scheme that if he doesn't work where he works his benefits get taken away from him. That's all I know. Ben's dad is helping him.
Sharon, great news that the swelling has gone down. What fruit and veggies did the delivery boy bring in and did you tip him? Oh, all this happens all the time. Next month the nephew goes to court for domestic violence. I wanted to be there for that, it was supposed to take place on the same day my sister took him to court.
*happy dancing for Suzanne* No heart attack! Wonderful. Interesting the spiritual reading, now you can make changes. My sister is Ayden's grandmother.
Ann, I'm the official tricker treater giver outer tonight. It is supposed to start at 4 and end at 8. Then the outside light goes out. The violence charge is just his father and step mother. She had a bruise on her forehead for 'just fooling around' with nephew but a neighbor heard the noise and called the cops. THAT is her story which we don't believe. Love baklava. I want to try making it, it does seem simple. Enjoy tonight. There were mixed reviews about the movie.
I'm in Camelot. It rains during the night and then the sun comes up for the day. I think everything has been bought and most have been packed away. 5 days to go here. WaWa's for hoagies tonight and an iced mocha drink. Now love mocha drinks.
How nice to be in Camelot. Enjoy the trick or treating.
Glad that the green tea is working Sharon.
Waiting for a ride home from cw. He came in late this morning as he took his baby granddaughter to get a blood test so that she would not blame her parents for it. Seems slightly OTT to me (DGD is just a year old and I don't suppose she holds grudges that much). Anyway I am hoping that he is not feeling too conscientious and we can get to go home at a reasonable time..... I will probably still get home earlier than I would on the bus...
Suzanne I got a copy of my blood work and echo. Confused about blood work but when I see the doctor I'll find out. The echo seems to say overall things are good but there were some abnormalities which I'm thinking regards my heart murmur which I have always had. Stupidly I made an appointment for Nov. 12th. I forgot I was going to be in Aruba so I'll have to change it.
Sounds like overall your heart health is good and that's great news.
I'll be contacting the psychic again in janaury. Be interesting to see what he has to say.
Sharon glad the eye is better.
Carol when do you leave Camelot??? Glad Ben's dad can help him, makes it a whole lot easier.
So she was just told she is going to a job in Queens and I don't think she is very happy. Well we can't have everything now can we.
Happy November from warm (72F) and wet south Jersey.
Only 33 trick or treaters and 99.9% had homemade costumes.
Norma, I leave not Camelot (it's raining right now) on Tuesday evening. I vote, mom goes bowling and later on at 6:30 Rapid Rover will whisk me to the airport. Bon Jovi is playing at one of the stadiums that night. Did you smile when she heard the Queens move? Can you get an earlier appointment?
Tonight we are going to hear BIL's band in a bar/restaurant. Trying to figure how to get sick so I won't have to go. I'm also taking my Kindle with me.
You know I figured she was going to get queens but I was kind of sad when she said she thought they gave her queens because they didn't want me to travel too much. Was she insinuating I'm old. I said well I kind of thought it was because I've work with Andre on a number of projects and he was very happy with me.
Maybe I'm sensitive but I thought it was uncalled for.
Another busy day. I had breakfast out with a friend and then we went to church and made 25 pounds of apples into applesauce for Sunday's dinner.
Next I went to a craft store and bought the knitting needles that I need. Also got lucky and found a nifty gift for DD to put away for Christmas.
Went to a grocery store and bought a large lasagna which is now in the oven for dinner tonight. We're going to a card night and potluck supper at church. DD and I also made an apple pie to take along.
DH is currently out in the country picking up 63 pounds of sausage for the dinner on Sunday. Will put it in the church fridge tonight.
Norma, congratulations on your new job posting. I'm sure she didn't mean anything bad, but maybe wonders why she has to travel further.
Perhaps you should get some intestinal distress for this evening Carol, then you wouldn't have to go to the bar/restaurant.
Your post about your CW taking his granddaughter for bloodwork made me smile, Ann. How used to hand my boys over to the doctor's nurse and then leave the office entirely when they needed one of their baby needles. I couldn't stand to hear them cry.
My sister called this afternoon with the sad news that our favorite cousin died in Michigan. He was 82 and suffering terribly from Parkinson's disease. DH and I got to visit with him in May. Both of my other sisters managed to visit with him this summer, so we all feel blessed that we had one last time together. Obviously I can't make it to the funeral. Apparently neither of my sisters can go either. But we will never forget him. He was such a gentleman.
We had a terrible wind and rain storm last night. Four pieces of aluminum siding were torn off the peak in front of our house. The crashing of the aluminum against the brickwork was almost more than I could stand last night. We've already got someone lined up to replace it for us.
Must run and get a few last minute things done before we head off for dinner.
Norma, don't let her comment bother you. Maybe she isn't happy because you are 'teacher's pet' and too good to be sent here and there.
Suzanne, condolences on the loss of your cousin. At least you all spent time together not too long ago. It sounds like you had out wind and rain storm.
I have to admit I really enjoyed last night. I forgot how friendly American strangers can be. lol Really. My sister and younger nephew knew a lot of the people so we all talked. I saw someone who went to my high school although he is a year younger than me. I knew all the songs they sang (the woman singer is really good) but 2. I guess that officially makes me old since they sing oldies. Some got up to dance. It's so different in England. I think the British reserve has rubbed off on me.
Mom is sort of making mental plans for next year already. I'll never get that cat at this rate.I won't be staying this long next time.
Hi All! Norma, I think she is one of those people who believes she is special and wonderful, so she probably can't understand why they gave you the plum assignment, when she is just as great as you! [I wish they had a winky face which expressed more sarcasm.]
DM, Glad you enjoyed the evening. Sorry things did not turn out better for your sister, but at least she gets to see him once per week. What is that saying?--If no one ends up happy, then it was the correct compromise--something like that. Are you happy or sad to be leaving, or both?
Suzanne, So sorry to hear about your cousin's passing. It was very windy here yesterday morning; must have been the remnants of your storm. The temperature was very mild, though. After the surgery, will you have to be totally flat on your back, or can you be propped a bit?
Sharon, How is your eye doing? Is Etna still erupting? Have you made anything tasty with the bags of fruits & veggies?
Ann, Yum--baklava! My SIL makes it for the holidays. Any rain? How are DD & DS doing?
Long week this week. I don't even want to think about all of the reports, grants and meetings I managed to fit in. Doing two jobs is no fun. And my boss is dragging her feet on interviewing to replace my "prior" position. I could go on a scree about her, but I won't because I guess I should be grateful that she promoted me. Oh, and one of the managers under me is going on maternity leave in a week. The original plan was that she would be promoted just before her leave so I could hire someone to replace her. But that hasn't happened, so now I will have to do her job as well. Sorry to complain so much--guess I am just exhausted.
Spoke with both DDs this week. DD1 got a speeding ticket. The situation sounds so ridiculous--it is pretty clear he stopped her because she has CT plates on her car. I do not understand how he could have possibly clocked her. He even followed her to BF's house, we guess to see if she was telling the truth about living nearby. He didn't even completely fill out the ticket, so she had to call the police station to find out what she would owe. DH told her to plead not guilty. She will have to go to court, but likely the charges will be reduced or dropped. No big news from DD2.
My 3rd child, Logan, is doing well, I think he is thrilled to have people home with him this morning. He is sitting at my feet right now, chewing on a bone.
I started dieting in earnest again yesterday. November 1st seemed a good time to start. At the moment I am sort of following a meal plan I found online and logging my food on sparkpeople.com. I also plan to do something everyday which I can call exercise. Yesterday Logan & I went for a walk. Today most likely I will walk alone.
I think I told you all the saga of my youngest sister, who is in the process of adopting the half brother of her adopted son. She has been fostering him for several months now and the adoption is set to go through in a few weeks. She lives in Arizona, but he was born in Massachusetts, so she will be coming to MA in a few weeks with him to finalize the adoption. She is planning a celebration luncheon the day after, so I am looking forward to seeing her (it has been more than a year) and my family, as well as meeting my new nephew. He is two years old and the pics of him are totally adorable.
Otherwise, not much going on here this weekend. -jill
Hi Jill, I'm happy and sad to be leaving on Tuesday. I just hope that mom does go for a hearing test. Have a word with your boss, it's not fair that you are going to do 3 jobs. Poor DD1. Good to hear that Logan is doing well. I bet your sister is so happy that all is going well with her future son.
January 2nd is the day that I start my diet. Hanukkah and the New Year will be over.
Oh, we're going to The Old Country Buffet (I think) tomorrow for supper.
Good morning,
Nice news about the 2 year old being adopted. Getting to live with his half brother is a bonus.
I haven't cooked up anything "gourmet".. been on the couch with a back muscle strain. It is better this morning but not good. I have the time to try a new pattern (for me), knitting a sock heel. It is called the fish lips heel. Seems easier than the one I use but not as strong.
It is still shorts weather here.
Sorry about your back Sharon. Is there something you can do for it apart from rest? Massage? Hot pad?? I put my summer trousers at the back of the cupboard at the weekend (didn't put them up at the top yet). The weather is still warm here but I am in my winter trousers already with a short or elbow length shirt and maybe a cardigan. This is the best weather in my opinion.
Why should they penalise DD for being from out of town Jill? And why follow her home? I hope that she manages to contest the issue. Good for you for getting back on the dieting wagon. Why won't Logan come with you on the walk? Did you tire him out?? The job situation sounds like a total cheek. Sounds to me like they are just loading you up with more and more because they know that you are too conscientious to let the ball drop. Mind you if you are doing 3 jobs - at least you should get 3 salaries.....
Only 33 kids? Sounds like quite a crowd to me. Don't start thinking like that about a pet DM. You deserve a cat the minute that you get back home. What about Tigger? Then he could go back to Ben when you next travel?? It is great that you had such a good time and that your mother is already making plans for next year but you have so much to offer a cat it would be a crime not to take one.
Her comment lacks all grace Norma. She must have been really put out not to get the good post. I wonder if she will find someone in the new place who will take up all her slack as you have done. She might actually have to turn up to work..... I hope that you can easily change your appointment
Sharon, feel better soon. See? That's what you get for trying to clean.
Ann, it used to be 50 and more kids knocking on the door for candy. Tigger has settled in nicely plus now he's an outdoor cat. I'll make sure Ben keeps his ears open for a free kitty. Mom is also making plans unbeknownst to her younger sister of going away for a week to an Elder Hostel event. lol I am sure that my aunt will go with her, heck I would. it's a week on Broadway musicals. It's in March.
There's a cold wind here.
Everyone but Ann and Sharon put back their clocks?
The clocks went back here and I really appreciated the extra hour of downtime.
Yesterday afternoon we were invited to PIC's apartment. We played a lot of cards and enjoyed a wonderful dinner. Then more cards. The men probably wouldn't want you to know, but we girls won all six rounds of euchre.
I'm staying home from church this morning because there is a big dinner this evening. DH, DD and I need to be back at church by 130 to get set up.
I still have a few things to get ready here before I head to the hospital in the morning. Apparently PIC is staying with me all day. DH said he will drop us at the door and he will head off to do his volunteer jobs that last until about 8 PM. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
I loved reading everyone's posts this morning, but don't have anymore time to reply right now. I'll try to get back on as soon as I get home on Thursday to let you know how things went.
Suzanne, Best wishes and prayers coming your way from CT. As for DH, I have learned that people deal with illness (and surgery) in their own way. I was very angry with my DH in how he handled the situation when I had surgery for melanoma. But I came to realize that, despite the fact that I wanted his support, he was dealing with his own fears of losing me, not to mention taking care of DD1 and holding down his job. For some people, avoidance is their only way to cope. Lucky for you, you have PIC. And I had my family and friends, so it all worked out in the end.
Sharon, Hope this message finds your back feeling better! I did some knitting yesterday, too!
DM, I definitely agree with Ann that you should get a cat--but it sounds like that is the plan. The elder hostel trip sounds like my cup of tea, too.
Ann, To be fair, my boss says she will help with some things from my prior position. But I am skeptical of how this will work out, as her time management skills are literally the worst of anyone I have ever worked with. And grants management is all about deadlines and time management. So I am not sure how much she will really be helping. The women who is going on maternity leave really left things in a good spot for me, so it won't be as onerous as it could be. [Just an aside, she was unable to have a baby on her own, so her cousin is carrying the baby for her, which I think is such a wonderful thing to do!]
Regarding DD1's speeding ticket, it is a notorious tactic in the US, and especially in the south, for police to ticket people from another state because they are less likely to contest the ticket and just pay it, as they will no longer be in the state and able to go to court. I think the officer lost heart a bit when DD told him she had just moved to Oklahoma and was living nearby, and that is why he did not completely fill out the ticket. But then he followed her to see if she actually did live nearby. Or, as DH (somewhat jokingly) suggested, the officer thought she was cute and wanted to know where she lived.
The reason I went for the walk alone was not because Logan didn't want to come. He will go for a walk with anyone, anytime, anywhere. But he dawdles, tugs too hard on the leash at times, and I have to stop if anyone walks by, as he will lunge at them (in a friendly way--but they don't know that, and not everyone likes dogs). So, it is difficult for me to get in a good aerobic walk when he is along.
DH and I went to the movies last night on a whim. We saw Ender's Game. We are big fans of the book series and they were fairly true to the story in the book. All the child actors were great, but some of the adult actors lacked something, and the movie fizzled a bit in the end. But overall, I would recommend it.
No big plans for today. Just the usual chores and another walk, although it is chillier today. Ann, I agree the time of year/temperatures you refer to are my favorite as well. -jill

I have a small patch (about 2' x2') of helleborus that is being overshadowed and covered up by a daphne. I would like to move the helleborus across the path and was wondering if now was a good time to do this? Any tips?
Annette Alpharetta GA |
Follow-Up Postings:
ooops, sorry. That's hellebores Annette |
Hi Annette, Are your hellebores currently in bloom? For smaller plants that aren't of blooming age now is an ideal time for moving in your climate. I typically transplant most of mine during this time of year. For blooming plants, it may be easier to let them bloom, then cut back the flower stalks before moving. You can also transplant at any other time of year (late August-September would also be a very good time for you), except the middle of winter or in heat of mid summer would not be ideal. |

- Created 8/23/11 by cabecakes
Posted by cabecakes I was recently asked to do a cake for a friend of mine. When I asked what flavor cake they wanted they said their favorite was a cinnamon swirl cake, but I could just make it white and chocolate. I didn't have any type of recipe for a cinnamon cake so I just tweaked a white cake recipe I had, so I could surprise them with it. Everyone raved over it. It was the first cake eaten out of the three. I hope you like it too. Oh, and after I made it I thought it would have been a lot better with some chopped pecans in it too. So you could try that for... read more

I will definitely build two of these after I get done with the triple pedestial farmhouse table and benches. It's perfect for the two bedrooms my 5 girls share!
This Triple Bunk Bed, based on the Classic Bunk Beds, uses a staggered design to fit under common 8' ceilings while maintaining head room.
Projects built from this plan. Thank you for submitting brag posts, it's appreciated by all!
You can also download the original Sketchup file from the author's web site at http://doityourselffurniture.com/triple-bunk-beds/#sketchup
If you have Sketchup installed, you can open the file and pull the pieces apart, rotate around, zoom in, and even modify it for your needs.
52 – 1×4 x 8′
5 – 2×3 x 8′
32 – 3" bolts with nuts & washers
4 – 2.5" bolts with nuts & washers
See the Classic Bunk Beds plan for basic assembly descriptions.
Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!
12 – 1×4 x 70.75" Legs
4 – 1×4 x 45.25" Legs (single end)
4 – 1×4 x 43.5" Hanging end support
4 – 1×4 x 29" Hanging mid bunk step
Vertical filler
6 – 1×4 x 3.5" feet
2 – 1×4 x 29" feet (single end)
2 – 1×4 x 47.5 double end
2 – 1×4 x 22" hanging support
2 – 1×4 x 1.75" hanging bottom end
28 – 1×4 x 9.25" between steps and rails
2 – 1×4 x 12.75″ ladder top
6 – 1×4 x 59.5" Rails
6 – 1×4 x 21" Rails (foot section)
2 – 1×4 x 61.25" Top safety rails
4 – 1×4 x 22.75" Fourth step & mid bunk side rail
2 – 1×4 x 42" Second-mid step
18 – 1×4 x 39" End rails
Slat supports:
2 – 2×3 x 54" Lower
2 – 2×3 x 34.75" Upper
14 – 2×3 x 15.5" 8 middle, 4 upper, 2 lower
12 – 1×4 x 2.5" Supports on inner verticals
27 – 1×4 x 40.25
4 – 1×4 x 39
Build the end pieces. One is full height, the other is for the mid bunk end.
On the verticals, make marks, from the top down, at 12¾", 25½", and 38¼", with two more on the full height vertical at 51", and 63¾". The last mark should be 7" from the bottom of each vertical. Those marks are the top of each horizontal rail.
With the cross rails centered on the face of the verticals, there will be 1 3/8" on either side.
Pre-drill through the verticals and attach to the cross rails using 2" screws, and glue.
Build the 2 inner cross sections. There is one full height, and one hanging section.
Each rail is the same 12 ¾" apart like the end pieces.
These cross sections each have one rail that is installed flat, that will end up being one of the mattress supports. A 2½" piece of 1×4 should be glued and screwed into the vertical directly below the flat cross piece on each side for extra support. Attach the supports for the flat rails as shown, by aligning with the bottom of each rail. The top of the flat rail will be ¼" lower than the matching cross rail (comparing to the end pieces).
Pre-drill through the verticals and attach to the cross rails using 2" screws, and glue. Use 1¼" screws for the small support pieces under the flat rails.
The hanging cross section should have a 1" hole drilled just below the top safety rail (4½" from the top), where the bolt will go that connects the main pieces together. This is to allow the nut on the assembly bolt to be countersunk to keep it safely away from the person in the top bunk. The upper filler pieces, which are attached to the outside verticals in most places, are attached to these verticals as shown, 3½" from the top. At least 2 screws should be used near the 1" hole. The bolt will grab the surface of the filler piece when assembled, so this piece must be secured to the vertical with both screws and glue.
Build the front and back double sections. These pieces need to be mirror images of each other.
On the full height verticals, make marks, from the top down, at 12¾", 25½", 38¼", 51", and 63¾". That last mark should be 7" from the bottom. Those marks align to the top of each horizontal rail.
Details to note:
–the hanging vertical extends 1¾" below the mid bunk rail, allowing space for an assembly bolt.
–one full height vertical and the hanging vertical are on the outside of the rail, and the other is on the inside.
–the 3 main bed rails only cover half the width of the inside vertical.
On the inside vertical, which goes next to the ladder, a 1" hole similar to the hanging cross piece is needed, along with the filler piece being attached to the inside rail 3½" below the top, using screws and glue.
For all of the other filler pieces, 1¼" nails with glue can be used in place of screws to make assembly a little faster, since these pieces will not be subject to lateral stress. All nails and screws should go through the filler into the vertical to keep the heads hidden.
Start by laying the two outside verticals on the floor, and lay the rails on top. After attaching, flip it over to attach the inside vertical.
Build the front and back single/ladder sections. These pieces are also mirror images of each other.
Make marks on the verticals at the same spacing as the double front/back sections.
On these pieces, all of the main verticals are on the outside of the rails. There is a second vertical on the hanging support that goes inside the rail, which should be attached last. This inside vertical can be attached with finish nails and glue rather than screws, since the screw heads would remain visible, and this piece is less structurally critical.
Attach the 2×3 slat supports to all 4 front and back sections, using 2½" screws and glue
Note: this is the most important structural connection on the bed. The slat supports are the only place that support the weight of the occupants with only screws and glue, without the physical support of boards directly below the support pieces. Use at least 3 screws on the short pieces, 6 on the medium length, and 8 on the long pieces. Stagger them slightly above and below centerline.
Align the bottom of the 2×3 with the bottom of the rails. Screw from the 2×3 side to keep the screw heads on the inside.
Also attach 2½" inch sections of 1×4 to the inside verticals as shown to align with the 2×3 supports. There are 3 on each double section, and 1 on each single/ladder section.
Drill the bolt holes. Bolts holes should be drilled about 1" below each bed rail, plus one below the top safety rail. This will place the nuts in a safe position directly below the cross rails. That is 4 bolts each in the 3 full height verticals (2 cross sections and the ladder overlap), and 3 bolts each in the 2 short verticals.
Clamp 2 sections at a time together in their final position, and drill through both sections at once.
Connect the slats together. Although the slats could be screwed to the slat supports after assembly, that would eliminate the ability to easily disassemble the bed. By simply be attaching the slats to each other, it will maintain spacing and still be easy to remove.
The slats for each bunk should be connected together in two groups, since the top bunks have a built-in slat in the middle. Lay a yard of cloth across 5 slats, properly spaced (about 3¼" between them) and staple to the slats. Four of the 6 groups will have a shorter piece in the middle. One will need 6 slats, all full length.
Or, as an alternative to cloth, use 2 extra 1x strips about 32" long for each half, perpendicular to the slats, and screw into the slats (these 1x's will need to be on the bottom of the slats when in use).

I'm almost ready to assemble this, but I'm a little overwhelmed with the assembly instructions. I feel like a lot of this plan was left to general knowledge or something that I obviously don't have. lol I spent a lot of time in sketchup turning the pieces around and around to figure out exactly what went where. But I'm excited to finally get it set up, assuming I can figure out assembly. lol

I did, but this project has many more pieces than that plan, and I had difficulty extrapolating the instructions to fit this plan. I figured it out, mostly. Once all the pieces were done I stood around with several other people and we all held pieces up so we could get an idea of what we were doing before we started.
jgbreeden replied on Permalink
Hi, you may have guessed from the lack of real pictures that I posted this plan without having built one--I admit I was a little concerned it would be too hard to assemble. I'm guessing you would start with the double end piece and one side piece, and sort of work diagonally from there, but it sounds like you got past that. Anything left to do? I'm dying to see your brag post!
moonprysm replied on Permalink
I did get it finished last week, but I've had such a difficult time photographing it because it's quite large and my boys' room is quite small (which is why we needed it!) I love it - but I did definitely have some issues with the directions. It could've been as simple as the thickness of my wood being slightly different or something, but I'll get a brag post up with details here shortly. :)

A Loss For Valdez
The MLB Winter Meetings are over…. back to the winter league action, as we cheer on some new Pirates' players.
Leones del Escogido 3, Tigres del Licey 0 — New Pirate Caesar Valdez (just acquired from the Diamondbacks as the player-to-be-named-later in the Zach Duke trade) made his 8th start for Licey, but did not get out of the 3rd inning as he suffered his 2nd loss of the season. Valdez had no trouble in his first inning of work, then gave up a solo home run in the 2nd inning. He put out the first two batters in the 3rd inning, then gave up three consecutive singles for a run, plus a walk. Valdez was relieved at that point, with no more runs scoring in the inning. Los Leones did score one more run in the 5th. Los Tigres were held to just 4 hits, including one by Indy area native 1B Jake Fox. 3B Andy Marte and C Robinzon Diaz were both hitless in the game.
Bravos de Margarita 5, Cardenales de Lara 4 — Los Cardenales tied the score at 4-4 in the top of the 8th on a pair of doubles. The winning run scored in the bottom of the 9th, when two walks and a hit batter put three Bravos on base. Another walk forced in the winning run. Romulo Sanchez pitched to 4 Margarita batters and made 4 outs, finishing the 6th inning for Lara and then pitching a 1-2-3 inning in the 7th. Jhonathan Ramos pitched a scoreless 6th inning for Margarita. He allowed a double and a walk, with 2 strikeouts.
Tigres de Aragua 6, Navegantes de Magallanes 4 — A game full of Pirates. Los Tigres posted a pair of 2-run homers in the 5th inning, on their way to 13 total hits. Every member of the lineup except for C Raul Chavez had at least one hit. SS Ronny Cedeno, 1B Hector Gimenez, LF Lastings Milledge, and CF Jorge Cortes each had one run. Wil Ledezma pitched one inning for Los Tigres. He entered the game in the 7th inning, and was responsible for one run on a solo homer. Then he began the 8th inning, when he allowed two more runs to score. Corey Hamman pitched in the top of the 9th for Los Navegantes. He gave up a single and a pair of intentional walks, but ended the inning and the game without any of those runners scoring.
Tiburones de La Guaira 5, Caribes de Anzoategui 3 — In his second Venezuelan League game, LF Jose Tabata walked and singled for Los Caribes. He singled in the bottom of the 1st, moving another runner to third base, and that runner came around to score, for 2 runs in the 1st. Los Tiburones tied the score with 2 runs in the 3rd inning. They took the lead with a run in the 6th, and Los Caribes tied the score again in the bottom of the 7th, on a walk and two singles. The game went into extras, and in the top of the 10th, Los Tiburones scored the winning and insurance runs on a 2-run homer.
Matt Diaz On Board; Ascanio And Tabata Reappear
Day Three of the Winter Meetings…the Rule 5 Draft will be tomorrow (Thursday)
Today, the Pirates added another player to their 40-man roster. Matt Diaz is an outfielder who was drafted by the Rays in the 17th round of the 1999 draft. He reached the major league level for the first time in 2003, but played in only 14 games for the Rays over the 2003 and 2004 seasons, and went 5-for-30 at the plate. The Oregon native was released by the Rays in February 2005 and a few days later was claimed off waivers by the Orioles, then signed by the Royals the next day. His 2005 season was shortened by injury, but he did hit .281 in 34 games for the Royals. The Royals traded Diaz to the Braves after the 2005 season, and he remained in their organization for the next 5 years. Diaz played full-time in 2006 and 2007, but a left knee injury prevented him from playing for most of the 2008 season. He was back in full swing in 2009, when he hit .313 with 13 homers and 58 RBI for the Braves. An infected thumb limited Diaz again in 2010. He was able to play in 84 games for the Braves, and hit .250, with 7 homers and 31 RBI. Diaz will turn 33 in early March. He's expected to play in right field for the Pirates.
Cheering for Pirates' players and friends in Wednesday's winter league action:
Leones del Caracas 7, Navegantes del Magallanes 0 — Corey Hamman had a better outing tonight than he did yesterday. He pitched 2 innings, taking the mound with a runner on second and no outs in the 7th. Hamman gave up a single and a sacrifice fly, to bring in one run (charged to the previous pitcher), then another single and a double play. In the 8th, Hamman worked around a single to keep Los Leones from scoring. Jose Ascanio pitched his first competitive inning since recovering from injury. He gave up a double to the first batter he faced, then retired the next three batters. Caracas's 5-run 5th inning was all the firepower they needed.
Tiburones de La Guaira 4, Caribes de Anzoategui 3 — Jose Tabata made his Venezuelan debut, OK'ed by the Pirates, going 2-for-3 with an RBI and two walks. Los Caribes scored 2 runs in the 4th and another in the 5th, to take a 3-1 lead. Tabata's RBI single drove in the run in the 5th. But Los Tiburones bit back with a 3-run 8th inning for the win.
Bravos de Margarita 7, Cardenales de Lara 3 — A 5-run rally in the bottom of the 1st inning, including a grand slam, gave Los Bravos a lead they would not give up. Starter Yusmeiro Petit pitched 7 innings for Los Bravos, allowing one run. He was relieved to begin the 8th inning, by Bobby Livingston (who pitched in one game for the Indy Indians in 2009. Livingston gave up 2 runs on two singles and a double, then was relieved by Anthony Claggett. Claggett ended the inning with a strikeout, then retired the side in the 9th.
Aguilas de Zulia 2, Tigres de Aragua 1 — SS Ronny Cedeno scored Los Tigres' only run in the bottom of the 1st. After a double, Cedeno reached base on a fielder's choice, then stole second base, and scored on an RBI single. Back-to-back home runs in the top of the 4th gave Zulia the lead in the 4th inning. Cedeno was hitless in his other 3 plate appearances. 1B Hector Gimenez singled in the 4th, when Los Tigres loaded the bases, but did not score. LF Lastings Milledge went 0-for-4, and C Raul Chavez went 0-for-2 for Los Tigres.
New Pitchers, Same Hitters
Two pitching acquisitions for the Pirates at the winter meetings, though both should remain at the major league level, with no impact on the minor league part of the organization:
RHP Kevin Correia is a 30-year old San Diego native, who came up through the Giants' organization, but pitched for his home-town Padres for the past two seasons. In 61 games (all but 2 were starts) for the Padres, he earned a 22-21 record and 4.54 ERA. In 343 innings, he allowed 346 hits and walked 128 batters, while striking out 256.
LHP Scott Olsen will turn 27 next month. The Michigan native came up in the Marlins' organization and was traded to the Nationals at the end of 2008. He has spent a lot of the past two seasons on the DL with left shoulder issues, so that over those two seasons he made only 28 appearances (2 in relief) for the Nats. He has a 6-12 record and a 5.79 ERA in those games. In 143 innings at the major league level, he allowed 176 hits and 52 walks, and struck out 95.
Other news:
Former Pirate farmhand RHP Jimmy Barthmaier signed a minor league contract to return to the Nationals.
Former Pirate INF Ty Wigginton is signing a contract with the Rockies.
Just a little bit of winter league action on Tuesday, involving Pirates' players and friends:
Aguilas Cibaenas 3, Leones del Escogido 2 — Los Aguilas scored 2 runs in the 4th inning, and that gave them all the runs they needed. Indy Indians' Kevin Melillo, in his first game with Los Aguilas, started the rally with a double, then scored on a 2-run homer. He went 1-for-3 in the game. Starling Marte came into the game as a pinch-hitter and remained in to play center field. Marte struck out in both of his at-bats.
Tigres del Licey 3, Toros del Este 0 — Los Tigres scored all of their runs in the top of the 5th. Indy area native LF/1B Jake Fox led off with a double, then 3B Andy Marte moved Fox to third with a sacrifice bunt. After a walk, a double plated Fox. Another single brought in the second run, and a sacrifice fly added the third run. DH Ronny Paulino went 0-for-4 for Los Tigres. SS Pedro Ciriaco singled for Los Toros in the bottom of the 8th, but was erased with a double play.
Aguilas de Zulia 5, Navegantes del Magallanes 4 — This game was tied at 2-2 going into the top of the 7th. A single, a sacrifice bunt, and an intentional walk gave Los Aguilas two on and one out. A grounder produced a force out at second base and gave Zulia runners on the corners. Los Navegantes' Corey Hamman was brought in to get the last out of the inning. The only batter he faced lifted a fly ball into center field, but the ball was misplayed, and the error allowed 2 runs to score. Hamman was relieved, and a strikeout ended the inning, with Los Aguilas ahead 4-2. Los Navegantes tied the score again in the bottom of the 9th, on a walk, two singles, and an RBI ground out, sending the game into extra innings. Jean Machi came in to pitch for Los Navegantes, and he gave up the go-ahead run on a walk, a sacrifice bunt, and a single. Two walks in the bottom of the inning gave Los Navegantes one more chance to catch up, but a double play ended the inning without a run scoring.
Nice Start For Claggett, Key Doubles For Ciriaco and Noris
MLB's winter meetings begin tomorrow (Monday). Stay tuned for news of trades, moves, shifts, Rule 5 draft, etc.
A few of Sunday's winter league games with Pirates' players and friends participating:
Cardenales de Lara 3, Bravos de Margarita 1 — Anthony Claggett pitched 4 innings in his start for Los Bravos, and allowed one unearned run on a hit and a walk in the night-cap of a double-header. The run came in the bottom of the 1st, when a single and a throwing error at third base put the lead-off runner on second base. A sacrifice bunt and an RBI ground out brought in the unearned run. After a walk, Claggett retired 10 of the 11 remaining batters he faced — he hit one batter with a pitch. Los Bravos scored their run in the top of the 1st, on a double, a bunt, and a sacrifice fly. Claggett left the game with the score tied. He was relieved by Edgar Martinez, who began the bottom of the 5th by allowing a walk, a sacrifice bunt, and a 2-run homer, which gave Lara the win.
Aguilas de Zulia 6, Tigres de Aragua 1 — SS Ronny Cedeno and CF Lastings Milledge each had a single in the 8th inning, and Milledge also walked in the 4th, but neither came around to score in Los Tigres' loss. Aragua's only run was scored in the top of the 9th, on a triple and an RBI single. Zulia scored their 6 runs on 13 hits, scattered over 5 of their 8 at-bats. C Raul Chavez, C Miguel Perez, and pinch-hitter Jorge Cortes were all hitless for Los Tigres.
Leones del Caracas 8, Navegantes del Magallanes 4 — Corey Hamman pitched a scoreless inning for Los Navegantes in their loss. Caracas had already scored 2 runs in each of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th innings, and Los Navegantes had scored a pair of runs on a 2-run homer in the 4th and one more run in the 7th on a double, a single, and an RBI ground out. The first batter in the top of the 8th was hit by a pitch, and Hamman entered the game with that runner on first base. He gave up a walk but retired three batters to get out of the inning without allowing a run to score. Los Navegantes scored one more run in the bottom of the 9th on a hit batter and two singles, but it wasn't enough.
Claggett Wins Again; Singh Reappears
A few signing notes for some former Pirates — LHP Phil Dumatrait has signed a minor league contract with the Twins, and LHP Neal Cotts has signed a minor league contract with the Yankees. OF Rajai Davis was traded from the A's to the Blue Jays.
Sunday's winter league action involving a few Pirates' players and friends:
Aguilas Cibaenas 12, Tigres del Licey 1 — A 6-run 1st inning put the game into Los Aguilas' pocket right from the start. Starling Marte came into the game in the 5th inning as a pinch runner (he didn't score), then remained in the game in left field. He flied out in the 7th, then hit an RBI single in the 8th. Denny Bautista was one of the few Licey pitchers who held Los Aguilas scoreless, as he threw a perfect top of the 9th for Los Tigres. Indy area native Jake Fox went 0-for-4 for Los Tigres.
Tiburones de La Guaira 6, Tigres de Aragua 2 — Los Tiburones scored 5 runs over the first 3 innings, and Los Tigres could only manage 2 runs. In the top of the 1st, SS Ronny Cedeno followed a lead-off single with a sacrifice bunt, then another single brought in the first Aragua run. Their second run came in the 6th inning, when Cedeno led off with a double into left field, and a few minutes later, 1B Hector Gimenez doubled into right field, bringing in Cedeno. C Miguel Perez came in as a defensive replacement behind the plate, but flied out in his only plate appearance. CF Jorge Cortes went 0-for-3 with a walk. Former Pirate pitcher Chris Hernandez pitched the top of the 9th for La Guaira. He gave up a walk, but then got Cortes to bounce into a double play to end the game.
Cardenales de Lara 7, Navegantes del Magallanes 2 — Los Navegantes were also only able to put up 2 runs, one in the 2nd, and one in the 7th. SS Argenis Diaz contributed one of Los Navegantes' 5 hits, but he did not score. Corey Hamman pitched the 7th inning for Magallanes, and he gave up a solo home run.
Bravos de Margarita 2, Aguilas de Zulia 1 — Anthony Claggett won his second game in two days for Los Bravos, this time with one scoreless inning of work (it was 1.1 innings yesterday). Los Bravos scored one run in the bottom of the 4th on a double, a single, and a grounder. Los Aguilas tied the score in the top of the 6th, also with a single and a double. Claggett took the mound to begin the 7th. He gave up a lead-off single, then retired the next three batters he faced. In the bottom of the inning, Los Bravos scored the go-ahead run on a single, a bunt, a wild pitch, and a sacrifice fly. That made Claggett the pitcher of record. Ronald Belisario pitched a perfect 9th inning for Margarita to collect his 10th save of the season.

What Do Spa Clients Want?
Posted: October 19, 2010
Today's economy has 89% of spa-goers seeking treatments for relaxation and stress management. Spa consumers are spending less on luxury and more on necessity, or not spending at all. That's bad news for today's spa industry, with some operators seeing 40% less in monthly revenue. This sharp decline in revenue is forcing spa operators to rethink how they are marketing to and providing services to today's spa consumers.
Coyle Hospitality Group, a market leader in spa quality assurance and spa mystery shopping, announces complimentary access to their research on today's spa consumers and what they want in spa marketing, sales, on-site experiences, post-visit results and follow-up. Findings from the research are presented in the exclusive report, New Priorities of Today's Spa Consumer. The report provides significant insights into what affects spa goers' behaviors including what drives consumers to spas; Web presence and reservation processes; what 'makes or breaks' a spa experience; and post-visit follow-up preferences.
This critical research will help spa operators modify their business practices to accommodate the new priorities of today's spa consumers.
Below is a sampling of topics found in the report:
Advertising: Discover consumers' new preferences in messaging strategies. Today's consumers want minimal restrictions and meaningful deals.

Released in April 2014 by Abrams
Welcome to my website!
My next book Prefabulous World will be released on April 15th. This book not only shows new and beautiful home design styles but alternative ways to save energy and harness renewable energy. 50 beautiful homes are profiled in the United States, Japan, Germany, France, Australia and many other locations. We can all benefit by sharing technology developed around the world.
Prefabulous + Almost Off the Grid and Prefabulous + Sustainable, profile beautiful eco-built homes. I hope they will inspire you to want to build your own very sustainable home. These books profile the most efficient houses I have ever come across. My previous two books - Prefabulous and Modular Mansions were meant to change people's perceptions of prefab as "doublewides" and to show that almost any house can be built prefab. I hope that I've altered peoples perceptions of prefab, at least a little, with the beautiful houses included in these books. Prefabulous + Sustainable and Prefabulous + Amost Off the Grid are meant to inspire homeowners to consider more environmentally friendly options for their home. Whether they are building a new home or renovating their existing one, these books define a variety of green construction aspects and offer inexpensive alternatives to creating a healthier, more energy efficient house - that is gentler to the environment.
My books are not meant to be a manual for green construction - but a general overview of aspects of prefab and green construction. The 32 houses profiled in this new book are true inspirations because they were built with great forethought, sensitivity and practicality. All of the homeowners, builders and architects not only considered environmental issues in building these houses, but also budgetary issues - in all cases attempting to build the houses for the least amount of money with the least amount of waste and the most efficiency. The houses are varied in size, location and design - but all were well planned, well designed and each with their own charm. Many of these houses were built in less than prime locations - in areas sometimes considered "the wrong side of the tracks." Many on infill lots and purchased at an excellent price. Because builders/homeowners were able to purchase these lots at reasonable prices, they were afforded opportunities to build houses, in several cases, close to work and recreation facilities. In several cases these homes stimulated urban renewal of areas in decline. I hope you will be inspired by Prefabulous World to build or remodel your own sustainable homes. Coming in April 2014 a global Prefabulous book - stay tuned.

I've been looking around online for this plant and most places I find are only selling seeds. I also found one nursery online that sells the plant but the shipping is a bit ridiculous @ $16 for one plant.
Anyone know where else I can buy one or has one that I can get a cutting from? thanks! |

FaceSaver For Facebook Offers An 'Inoffensive' Timeline
A new app has been launched today which claims to be able to 'clean' inappropriate content from the timeline of a Facebook page. The app, called FaceSaver, apparently is able to discover around 2-3 times more inappropriate content than other Facebook cleaning apps because it is able to recognize some common rude and slang terms that others do not.
The app, published by Belfast developer group System Ready, scans a user's entire timeline for inappropriate text, which includes wall posts, status updates and comments. The database to which it is compared against contains over 1000 'inappropriate' terms and will allow easy deletion of any offending text. The typical scan takes around 30 seconds and allows users to delete comments individually.
