Karen, what a special Memorial Day gift. Bransen sure is a cutie. Love your $th decor, but it can't compare with the Memorial Day picture.Did you make those two matching apocarthy jars. They are really pretty. You have gotten me addicted to jars.I have made 3 sets of three, one for me, then dd seen it and wanted one, then when DGD saw her mother's she wanted some too.I have just used the Dollar Tree candle holders and the vases in different heights that I have found at the thrift stores. Dh helped me make the tops with cut out circles of wood and finales that also came from a thrift store last yr when he was making so many birdhouses and using them. I like your bottoms much better, I need to hunt for some candleholders that are bigger and more substancal. I painted mine with the black hammered paint. If I do any more, I may try something else/ TFS. Blessings, Janet |

Hooray, purplemoon! Your 4th of July decor is 'grand!' ...like our grand old flag that you've displayed! I, too, love the apothecary jars...& luv's painted plates...so cute! I am esp lovin' the blue/white roosters on the flag placemat on your kitchen counter...plus all those lovely plates! I was @Hobby Lobby today & saw an Uncle Sam nutcracker & of course, who did I think of ...YOU! (30% off sale but I left it there)...bought a small 'God Bless America' pic frame instead. I'm glad you're back to feeling like some decorating! Yay! TFS! Jeanne S. |

Janet, I bought those jars on the wood bases as a set some years ago, at Kirklands. Actually there were 3 of them but I broke one. :o( I have made a few with stuff from Dollar Tree tho. Easy and fun! But I never tried making wood tops for any, that's neat your DH could for yours! Thank you for the sweet words on our newest family addition. (I still can't believe I'm a great-grandmother now!!) Jeanne, that resting blue/white rooster is really a piece I love. Found him on eBay quite some time ago. The other one is a cheapy I found at Home Goods I think, had him awhile too. I have a lovely blue rooster plate that sits behind them too, I'll get it out after I put the patriotic plates away. hugs, Karen |

Karen, so good to see you decorating. You do such pretty arrangements and have "just the right stuff" to make it look special. I've always loved those jars, so perfect for everyday and holidays. So what did you put inside? It looks great. The birdhouse is perfect as is the garland you used. The boy and girl look perfect together, so glad you like them. Now I'm wondering why I didn't paint myself a set too????? LOL Great way to enjoy your collection of plates, and those roosters are gorgeous. Your Dad certainly did more than his share of service to our country. He was a very special man, and I know you miss him so much. Luvs |

Oh I didn't mention the BEST ...that sweet baby Gr'child!!! You are blessed! Enjoy when they get to come back home! Jeanne S. |
Karen, you've done a great job decorating. Love all of it. Your plates Luvs painted are so cute and so is that nut cracker. The apothecary jars are so pretty. All the plates and chickens look so neat in the kitchen. Nice variety. So nice you took time to make and take the arrangement for DD and DM. Bransen is precious and how nice you will be able to enjoy him Labor Day and again at Christmas. You always do a wonderful job decorating and have so many neat things to display. Hope you have a wonderful 4th. Punk |
Karen. I'm so glad you felt up to decorating. Everything looks wonderful. The boy and girl plaques Luvs painted are adorable. I'd love to see a close up. I really like your collection of plates they look perfect displayed on your counter. The chickens look great there too. Bransen is beautiful. I bet you will spoil him like crazy when he comes to visit. Thanks for sharing Nana |

Luvs, you NEED to do yourself a set of the 'kids. They are too darn cute not to. (and there is another little girl pattern that looks like she'd be neat with them!) Nana, I'd found them on the web and they are actually little patriotic graphics. I'd saved them thinking I might someday cut them out of wood since they are simple outlines.(tho obviously I'd do much larger and put them on my front porch.) Of course I didn't get around to it. So Luvs painted them for me on wood plaques as a b.d. gift one year. Here's a close-up for you... hugs, Karen |

The other little girl is sure a cutie too and would go with the other two so well. Ahhh, someday I'll get back to painting again I hope. Luvs |

What a great selection of patriotic decor! Love the cloche jars! And the two painted boy and girl from Luvs are wonderful! Really love the painted star and the plates in the kitchen too! |
- Posted by christmascandy (My Page) on Wed, Jul 11, 12 at 10:38
Well, for "only" doing 2 areas, I'd say you did them up right! You always amaze me when you say you just did a little bit and then, POW, here are all these amazing displays!! You sure did a great job and glad you felt like doing it! Those plaques by Luvs are such treasures and so much more meaningful because they were made by a friend! TFS, |

I am a 61 year old widower with two adult children, one is married and one is not. I have been engaged for a number of years(my wife passed away many years ago) but there are a few issues that have held me back from setting a date. I feel the need to be available for both of my children 24/7 and there have been times in the past putting them before my fianc�e has caused some difficulties in our relationship. I can't seem to be able to shake this need " to be there for them" even if it means possibly losing my fianc�e. I am reaching out to other widows or widowers who have had some similar issues who could possibly refer me to some reading materials that might help me. It is not my kids that are telling me they need me but me feeling that I have to be there for them no matter what. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Your right it's not your kids, it's you. Your kids are old enough and have their own lives. Are you afraid you are betraying your former wife? Betraying her somehow or are you afraid of the true committment? It is you an putting your fiance behind your kids is extremely painful for her. Your spouse should be forever an you are showing her you don't value her or that she is not that important to you. It is important for evey woman to feel values, important and #1 with their partner. I am living the same thing with a man that has told me I need to wait for his to grow up to hava a marriage. As our counselor said when in your head will they ever grow up. Once they are teenagers they need some guidance, structure and rules but when they are adults they are on your own. Instead of reading material I would suggest some coumseling. But it doesn't work if you don't do the work and get honest with yourself. That can be the hardest part. Your kids are grown and have their lives, it's time to move on an live yours. You get a second chance, don't waste it |
You are right to not marry her, she would just be hurt in a relationship where you did not put her first. When our children are small they should always come first in our lives. As adults in a second marriage your wife should come first. I think it is you that can't break from your kids. I think you need them for some reason. |

I know this could seems rude but that is a true question.
I am planning a new character and my gamemaster asked me what career I plan to follow.
I start thinking then realise it just doesnt really matter as the difference between careers are nearly inexistant. Except for the really specific career with special action cards all the career share the exact same actions.
All I will gain would be a few different skills or card slot, perhaps 1 box difference in attitude and a few HP but not really enough to justify calling that career.

Rockstar SuperNova runner up Dilana hits hard times
It appears that the Kick Starter funding project, that was started by Rockstar Supernova runner-up DiLana has hit a snag. Because she didn't meet her goal, it appears the funds have all been pulled.
The following was posted on her official Facebook this week.
Dilana Robichaux
" i TRULY understand how hard times are right now. i have NEVER been so broke in my life n battle from day to day. i am riding my motorcycle as much as possible to save on gas money n living in a bedroom cuz i CANNOT afford my own apt. i just can't help wonder WHY ppl pledge to my kickstarter project and then CANCEL it. OF COURSE i get it that some ppl wanted to give me a push n then have to reduce their amount later BUT cancelling the netire pledge? just dumbfounded. at the end of the day, this is FOR THE LOVE n SUPPORT OF MUSIC…broken hearted."

Marvin Arthur Witzaney, 47, pleaded guilty in Court of Queen's Bench to manslaughter, break, enter and commit sexual assault causing bodily harm, two counts of attempted break and enter and a breach of recognizance.
Court heard there will be a joint submission for a life sentence, but the Crown and defence will argue about how long Witzaney must serve before being eligible for parole.
According to an agreed statement of facts, Witzaney terrorized residents of the Edmonton Chinese Senior's Lodge between 2000 and 2008 and was repeatedly charged with trespassing and indecent acts.
Crown prosecutor Tania Holland said his photo had even been placed in the lodge to warn residents about him.
On May 8, 2011, about 2:20 a.m., Witzaney tried to break in to two suites at the lodge through windows, but was stymied when a 77-year-old man punched him in the face and then the senior and a housekeeper scared him away.
A police officer responded about 3 a.m. and noticed two smashed windows, but the officer cleared the investigation and left when he could not find a suspect.
Witzaney returned and broke into the suite of the 84-year-old victim by smashing a window. He then began sexually assaulting her.
The housekeeper responded to the suite after noting a distress alarm and found Witzaney on top of the senior.
She yelled at him and ran to get help and call police after locking the door.
When the lodge manager arrived, the room was unlocked and Witzaney had fled.
Court heard police arrived and found the victim naked from the waist down, lying in a pool of blood with two deep cuts on the back of her head.
She was taken to hospital with multiple traumatic injuries, including a brain injury that caused delirium.
She died eight days later. Her death was later linked to the brain injury.
An autopsy found she had blunt injuries across her body and more than 30 bruises. There were also two points of impact to the back of her skull, which the pathologist said could have been caused by blows from a stainless steel thermos that had Witzaney's prints on it.
Witzaney was arrested at his home with swollen hands on the evening of May 8, 2011, and was charged with second-degree murder following the death of the victim.
Justice Eric Macklin ordered a pre-sentence report and a psychiatric assessment on Witzaney and a sentencing hearing was scheduled for April 15.

We love these boots! They are so cute. They don't have the look of the Crocs clogs at all. My daughter is 5 and loves them. They look great with skirts or pant and she can run around and play in them with no problem. They are great for the weather when she doesn't need to have actual snow boots on, but feel like her feet might get wet in sneakers. She has only had them for a few weeks but has worn them alot and has no complaints so far. Very glad we made this purchase.

See other articles on: Write Compelling Web Site Copy That Gets ReadFiguring out what to say on your Web site can be a challenge. For many business owners, talking about themselves is difficult. However, coming up with good Web content is easy if you keep your customer and the search engines in mind. Whether you write the text for the Web site yourself or hand off notes to a writer, you need to think about who will visit your site and how they get there. As an exercise, write down the three types of people most likely to visit your site. Include their age, gender, occupation, and anything else you can think of relating to their needs, desires, likes, dislikes and so forth. For example, suppose you own a dental clinic. Maybe you offer relaxing music and specialize in trying to make the dental experience less traumatic for those who hate the dreaded drill. Visualize your best customer and then write the text as if you were talking to him in person. If you write your text as if you are talking to one individual person (i.e. your ideal customer), the verbiage will naturally focus on the customer's needs and interests. Always use the second person (you) on your Web site. Your visitor doesn't care about your company; he cares about himself. Avoid talking about your company and the various features of your widget. Instead talk about what your products and services can do for the customer. For example, don't talk about the specifics of the high-end dental drill you just bought. Talk about how when a client visits your office, he can enjoy better health and look better without experiencing any fear or pain. When people are searching for anything online, they are always asking "what's in it for me" (WIIFM), so your copy needs to focus on their needs. Links are another way you can engage people. For example, instead of standard link that says "Widget Installation Video," add some action with a verb, such as "Watch a 5-minute video that shows how easy it is to install your new Widget." When writing your text, you also should consider how people might search for your company online. When someone goes to Google, what string of words might he or she type into the search box? For example, if you are a new resident of Tikaville, Idaho looking for a dentist, you might type in: Tikaville Idaho dentist. In your Web copy, you should include those search terms. Search engines also place special emphasis on headings and the title of the page, so you should include potential search phrases in those key areas. In the end, however, you should not write your page for the search engines. Write your text for human beings, since they are the ones who will decide to use your products and services (or not). When you write clear, compelling text that explains what your business can do for customers, it's almost always good content for search engines as well. Keep your sentences short and break up text with lots of headlines, and you'll be rewarded with a Web site that nets you both compliments and more business.

Home Office How-To
For those of us who are lucky enough to work from home, well, you're probably already aware that the dream is often far from the reality. No, we're not sitting at a spotless wooden desk with our latest-model computer, a vase full of pink lilies and a flawless filing system -- our workspace looks nothing like those chic home offices you may have seen in the pages of Vogue Living. In actual fact, it's more likely to be an old desk with a bad leg shoved into a free corner of your home, there are probably papers everywhere and Post-its covering every spare inch of surface space.
So how can we make the turnaround? Set aside a day, make a list and start transforming your home office so you can work more efficiently.
Form a pile
Grab everything that's not fixed down -- so we're talking loose papers, stationery, receipts, old catalogues, newspapers, etc. -- and form a pile in the middle of the room.
Keep or throw
Yep, you guessed it , now you have to go through everything and sort it all into "Keep" or "Throw" piles. Try your best not to get distracted by mags, newspapers and catalogues -- if they're old, chuck them straight into the recycling!
Active or archive
Now that you're left with a pile of things you want to keep, it's time to start organising. Starting with the papers, sort them into two main categories of "Active" or "Archive."
Your Active pile will include a few key sub-categories (keep in mind these will depend on your line of work):
- Bills to pay
- Outstanding invoices
- Follow-up/to-do lists
- Incoming mail
Your Archive pile will include:
- Bills paid and processed
- Tax invoices you've been paid for
- Receipts
- Extra notes on completed work
Tackle the drawers
Hopefully this purging of paper will have helped to declutter your space. Next, clean out your entire workspace, including drawers, shelves and cabinets. Repeat the Keep/Throw process above.
Find storage solutions
The time has come to find everything a home. Take a moment to look at your current home office space and see how much room you have to work with. Could your furniture sit in a different configuration to give you more space or to invite in more fresh air or natural light? What new items will you need to file your papers? You can save money by considering unique storage solutions and recycling old homeware items, such as:
- Use old jars to store your stationery, such as pens and pencils. Tie a cute ribbon or scrap of fabric around the lid or glass to jazz it up.
- If you have a nice old soap dish lying around, you can use it for knick-knack stationery items like rubber bands, paper clips and thumbtacks.
- A piece of string and miniature pegs can work as a space-saving holder for your to-do list. So instead of covering your desk in Post-Its, simply tie the string above your desk and hang follow-up items or extra notes along it. Cut used paper that was on its way to the recycling bin into quarters, blank side up, and store a pile near your pegs.
- An old wooden drawer can be a great way to store Active items, such as bills, invoices and mail. It looks better than a piled of loose papers and will ensure that they stay together in a neat pile.
- Your Archive items can also be kept in neat cardboard boxes with lids, labelled and stored away in a cupboard. Check out IKEA or Officeworks for affordable products.
Maintain a filing system
Now that you've cleaned your space, it's important to keep your filing system in action. Ensure that only key stationery items and papers needed for your current project are on your desk. Deal with any papers at the time they come in and try to keep your filing system in order to avoid clutter building up. A clear, practical workspace will ensure your productivity remains at an all-time high! Now... go!

How To: Solve your Google Chrome Freezing and Hanging Problems
Today i will tell you how to solve your Google Chrome freezing and hanging problems, and to get rid of those frequent crashes forever.
Google Chrome has always been my first choice when it comes to browsers but it comes with its cons. Sometimes you must have noticed Chrome doesn't behave you want it to and it completely shuts down on you. In the middle of your work it becomes totally unresponsive and the only solution is to end the Chrome process from your Task Manager.
This problem happens due to the built-in Flash Player which comes pre-installed with your Chrome. It took sometime for me to find the source of the problem but i solved it at last. The Built-in flash player adds a new process known as rundll32.exe. It automatically initiates it and the starting up of rundll32 is what causes the crashes in Chrome.
A temporary solution is to terminate this process and continue working on Chrome. You will not lose any of your tabs. But as this problem will arise the next time you wish to start your Chrome browser, i am providing you with a permanent solution given below.
Step 1: Open a new tab in your Google Chrome browser. Type about:plugins in the address bar and hit enter. Now click the Details buttons to your right to expand every plugin properties.
Step 2: Now look for your Flash plugin. There will be two files in it. In the Location field you will see a path address like the one below:
This is the file we were looking for. Just click the Disable button below it. Please ignore the NPSWF32.dll file and leave it enabled.
Step 3: Close your tab and restart your browser. Now go to this link http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.
Step 4: Restart your browser again. Now you will no more have any freezing or crashing problems.
Wasn't this easy? Apparently the gcswf32.dll was the source of all problems. Till the Google team finds a solution for the built-in flash player, this is the way to stop your Chrome from getting all grumpy on you.
Did you find this article about how to solve your google chrome freezing and hanging problems helpful? Please let us know in the comments.
- Gaurav Garg @ Facebookz.in

I want to decrease the speed of surfing and downloading… i want to control the speed in all pc's can you tell me any bandwith manager software which works perfectly
- Adri
Hi there. i do not have NPSWF32.dll plug-ins file but have this file instead–> C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\PepperFlash\188.8.131.52\pepflashplayer.dll along with the C:\Users\[your-username]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\16.0.912.77\gcswf32.dll
Disable it, or enable it? - Adri
I have followed your instruction but the freezing issues still bothering me. Whenever i open Google Chrome, I can use it for only 5-10 minutes. After that, it start to freeze. I closed and reopen Google Chrome but still the problem keep appearing and make my day like hell.
- Shayan
Thanks. worked
- mike
where can i find temp folder and how to clean registry files?
- Donna
My chrome crashes before I can even execute this solution. Is there another way to solve the crashing??
- Donna
Yeah, I've also tried doing the default folder thing. It completely freezes up before I can type anything into the address bar.
- Racquel
After doing this Chrome won't play any flash at all… did I do something wrong?
- Brian
…and leave gcswf32.dll disabled after the steps you've outlined above? Am hoping this resolves my intermittent freeze issues with Chrome. It's awfully annoying.
- ephraim
what should i do if there is 3 files in my flash plugin?
- meg
thanks I think that has made a difference I hope so as it's so annoying
- Richard
I had a problem with Facebook today, I can only scroll down for a few seconds before the window completely freezes ( just Facebook) the other sites were running slower as well. Tried your solution and it works again! Don't know if it's the real problem, but thank you very much for the article!
- aiman saad
thank you very much the browser now is free of stuck , your advice was very helpful, i hope to continue help others because you make a great work.
- Ian
Your method of disabling Flash has stopped the page freeze problems on google chrome browser, good work. ***** 5 stars
- geo
Worked like a charm! Thanks much!!
- Janchi
Thank you very much. I was going to re-install it but your article saved my day.
many thanks - Jennifer
I did what you said and it still freezes and crashes. It's making me want to throw my computer out the window!
- Andy Carloff
Awesome article. Unfortunately, Chrome freezes also on Java-only applications. Best solution to Chrome Freezing problems? Switch to Firefox.
- Jennifer
I have Vista. I can't use Chrome at all now. As soon as I open it and type
in anything it freers. I did exactly what you said. Chrome use to be my favorite
too. Now I have it use IE because Chrome just freezes my entire computer. - Lynn F Noyes
So far, so good. Not only is Chrome not freezing the way it was before, it has also speeded up to what it used to be. I don't know what they did to Chrome a few weeks ago, but I was about ready to give up on it since I was having to switch to Explorer every single session. Thank you.
- V Rajesh
Nice article Gautam, now the problem is resolved…Thanks
- bellabmwredhead
i m hoping i can stop my google chrome from crashing,it did not crash first 10 min.fresh download,and now within past thirty min.repeatedly AGAIN! UGH…mi amigo,here tonight whose also trying on his netbook,so we will both try it out!
We are right now,going to try this,thank you i pray it works.
- Lekesh kumar
Tis was great. I think you are a trained in google chrome
- Albert
Thank you so much!
- K Wong
thank you very much! this totally did the trick!
- IDamian
First off thanks. I also find it remarkable that neither Flash nor Chrome have lifted even the slightest finger to assist in this problem which clearly has affected a great number of people. Chrome should have someone on their staff looking for issues that people have taken the time to post on the net. My problem MAY have been slightly different only because I never saw anyone mention that directly after tying to load the first intolerably long loading page I would use the simple work around by simply hitting the exact same load again. The SECOND attempt is immediate. However I have followed your suggestion and will assume it will work the next time I do a reboot.
- IDamian
Unfortunately, after a reboot, this did absolutely nothing to solve the problem.

so i didn'y find that path address, instead i found this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\22.0.1229.79\PepperFlash\pepflashplayer.dll
the other one is this : C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32_11_4_402_278.dll

- Hope
Great! It worked! Thanks so much Gautam!
Avice, you just disable the pepflashplyer.dll file and do what Gautam suggested get new version of Adobe flash after that, It really worked!

Your steps have finaaly solved my chorme freezing problem. I have been using Chrome for some time, but only in recent weeks this freezing problem took place. Now the problem is fixed. Thanks a lot.
- aditya
please help me google chrome is causing so much trouble it is not starting/ opening and even hangs and becomes unresponsive and stops ongoing downloads, and then i have to restart the pc to open chrome at that time it opens but after a few minutes the same problem starts again everythings works fine except google chrome,i've posted and reported many times on google but no response have been received, please help and provide assistance.it is constantly showing 'shockwave plugin unresponsive' or it has crashed stop plugin etc..ive updated the shockwave and flash players…
- Gabriel Moreira
Great post Gautam. Actually I'm working with FLEX development and have same crashs with shockwave. I'll try your cookiebook and my thank you for now!
- Joel
I didn't know if this was a recent article or not, I was just wondering if this was still an issue or if Chrome has resolved it yet?
I was seeing similar issues but mostly on only a few webpages. I'll give this a try and see if it helps. Thanks!
- Angel
Thanks a million! It worked! I've been struggling with Google crushing and shockwave crush messages forever until last week, when Youtube started gurgling and growling in the middle of the video playing and subsequently completely freezing my laptop so the forced shutdown was the only solution. Yep, Windows 7, 64-bit here. Sony Vayo. I just played Youtube for a few hours with no problems. Hope this solution is permanent!
- Kitty
Thank you- your solution worked… the screen freezing was driving me nuts
- jahfree
After i updated chrome i had to to what is suggested in the article so videos would play properly, but then noticed the 'clear private data' tool in chrome hangs, gets stuck, does not work. I did everything you said to do here (AGAIN) and the little circle indicator that spins around never stops and i suspect the cache and other items are not getting proper clearing. Can this be fixed? Thanks.
- A Guy Named Ronnie
Well I just tried it, and it worked for me. Thanks allot!
- Chris
Thanks Gautam, that worked! Hope it stays this way!
Chris - Richard Weinberg
Thanks very much. It appears to have solved this problem which appeared only a couple of weeks ago. There was no date on any of this discussion, so I couldn't tell if this was a recent issue or if I had stumbled upon something that happened, say, a year ago. You might consider dating your articles.
Thanks again.

Didn't work.. I disabled the pepperflash.dll and still my chrome is not working. I work on n-computing and the other guy is also facing the same problem… Please help…
- Jay
Hi thanks for the fix is also possible for MAC? coz my facebook freezes using Chrome when I am on Mac,
- Angela
Hi i dont seem to have the folder or whatever appdata on my computer?
- Maor
try –disable-accelerated-compositing in the command line start up, or add it to chrome shortcut after chrome.exe –disable-accelerated-compositing.
fixed it clean for me.- Brian
Thank you so much! This is the only thing that has worked for me.
The problem started mostly with websites that had flash. Disabling the built in flash player helped a little for a while, but then it started freezing all the time again. I searched but everything only talked about disabling the flash. I went back to using IE on the affected computer for a few months (I hate IE). Recently I got fed up with IE and started searching again. Decided to skim comments on a bunch of articles to see how many others were not able to fix thier problems by diabling flash and saw this. What a lifesaver.
- jeanie
Gautam- You're a genius! I know very little about computers and thank you so much for the step-by-step directions and the visual was so, so helpful. I followed them without any problem, and if I can anyone can
It is so frustrating when there's a problem and one doesn't know what to do. No more crashing -You cannot imagine how greatful I am that I found your fantastic article, and believe me, I looked for hours for an answer to the problem. Thank you a million for your expertise, help, knowledge and extreme patience. - Bridgett
I found about this fix a few months ago (I have that stupid pepperflash file) and up until a couple of days ago it was working fine. Now, every time I open Chrome, I have to disable the file again which I guess is okay, except I never remember to do so until the website I'm on starts to slow down. Is there anyway to get the pepperflash to stay disabled once I close the browser?
- annette
I have the same problem as Bridgett, followed all instructions installed adobe but page still freezing and pepperflash is there. Is there a way to stop enable coming back for good?
- SueVo
Thank you SO MUCH!!!!
- Katie
I know all about pepperflash, shockwave, update, disabling, testing uninstall, re0install, test some more etc etc etc. I get no relief. Supposedly everything is "working properly" It is so darn frustrating… I just attempted to do the appdata folder suggestion, I DON'T EVEN HAVE AN appdata folder. It's like nothing suggested will work. It used to 6months ago. Now we are on flash and shockwave players 11.5 and 11.6 and it seems worse
I was using comodo dragon where I had relief in the beginning then the same thing happened with it as google chrome. Now, i uninstalled comodo dragon, re-installed chrome, but instead of it just having a shockwave issue, the entire browswer locks up and shuts down completely, doesn't even re-open.
- patrice
OH Gautam – I could hug you !! Your fix worked like a charm and was simple to do. Thank you for taking the time to find the fix and educate others!
Many many thanks !!
- Bridgett
So as you know, I was having the problems with the pepperflash in Chrome. I uninstalled Chrome, installed Mozilla and it was still really slow. So I uninstalled Mozilla and reinstalled Chrome and just started disabling pepperflash as soon as I opened the browser. It was still really slow. So I decided to try something else. I opened the browser and instead of disabling pepperflash, I disabled the other shockwave. I didn't expect it to work and it didn't so I changed it back, but now whenever I open Chrome and go to disable pepperflash, it's already disabled!?! It's really weird and makes no kind of sense. And the stupid website is still slow, but that might be because of the website and not the pepperflash…
- NeilM
Worked a treat – thanks for that. Much appreciated.
- andy
I have always problems with chrome freezing and hanging but i dont have this file you mention above, my shockwave entries point to pepflashplayer.dll and NPSWF32_11_6_602_171.dll
How can I solve it? - vishwa
i disabled pepper flash as per your instruction and installed anew flash player, but after this no flash program is working and it shows that flash player is disabled please help me
- Robert
Hi Gautam, I bought new notebook with Windows 7. I use Google Chrome, but there were many problems with freezing. I disabled pepper flash and installed flash player from Adobe, as you advised. Since then my notebook works better, but there is still some problems… When I use more tabs opened, and close one tab, the other tabs will froze. This happens when any application opens in new window too. I close new-opened window, and all tabs are frozen. What can I do??? Help me, please.
- Jonathan Natanoj
To fix it, add the following parameters at chrome command line:
–disable-gpu –disable-software-rasterizerafter that, the google chrome works like a charm.
- Minkletwinkle Donna B
Thanks million for the help! Finally something that worked! Cheers! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you….:)
- John Barwise
Brilliant – very well described instructions – lets hope it works!
- jesse
This may be an old post but hallelujah! It fixed the issue plaguing me for about a month now!!!
- mrmashal
for me disabling the flash player didn't solve the problem. the solution was to disable hardware acceleration in advanced settings.
and I found it out after a long time… - Eric H
You are a God, you just cured my sick mac. Thx
- trabunco
thanks mrmashal. the flash player thing didn't work for me too. disabling hardware acceleration in advanced settings did.
- isken
thanks alot dude, helped me alot, almost switched to FF but then found ur wwebsite
- Susan Miller
I am a tech teacher and my students each have a chrome account. They freeze up a lot. Does each student that is logged in need to do this or do I just do it on each machine ? Thank you.
- BadgerBird
Hi Gautam,
I disabled the pepper flash plugin and also disabled the hardware aceleration. The issue still persisits. I have this issue on my Win 7 Enterprise, 64 bit.
I just figured that if you need a page to load and the flash player is stuffed up, if you right click anywhere on the page, while the options window is open, flash works.
Test: go to 'famo.us'. Those suffering from this issue will not be able to see anything move. As soon as you right click, you will notice that flash starts working…
Hope this helps others in some way or the other.
- Adi
Ty a lot bro
It worked xD - ajo
my chrome is freezing in all pages but not in facebook how to fix chrome not to freez in any page
- Charlie
Thank you. I need Maps for work and until you showed me the fix I struggled every fking day with it. Simple, fast, it works. You did your job.
- Jane Tamplen
It works! Thank you so much! I'm not a techo-geek (that's my older sons), but I could fix this problem thanks to your easily followed steps. I'll be saving this just in case….
Google chrome started hanging up after I installed the extension "Adblock", it stopped as soon as I removed it. :)
- Joanne P
I tried disabling and downloading adobe, but the problem still happened a day after I did this. I tried doing it a bunch more times, enabling and disabling whatever was there, and still the problem came back today. I'm beyond frustrated, and firefox isn't even downloading for me. My chrome problem actually got worse, and my tabs will only stay open without freezing for around 1 minute. I'm far from technologically savvy; I'm young and don't know the first thing about computers except to just use the internet. I honestly don't know what to do at this point.
- Shyam
HI Dude. I am using chrome and firefox for browsing internet. But for the past three months i am experiencing the freeze of the pc when i use it continiously. I follwed u but it doesnot help it. Tell me a way for it..

FAPA 2013 Congressional Workshop in Washington DC
YEAR 2013 FAPA Board of Directors-at-large elections
More information
FAPA Chapter information and activities page
Overseas Taiwanese organizations express concern about backsliding of democracy in Taiwan
(Washington, D.C. – November 8th 2013) -- The undersigned overseas Taiwanese organizations hereby express our deep concern about recent developments in Taiwan. First, we wish to emphasize our roots in Taiwan, the land of our birth. We do live in Canada, Europe, Japan, Latin America and the United States, but we feel strongly about our homeland. Many of us worked hard to help Taiwan make the transition to democracy in the 1980s and 1990s.
Especially since Taiwan made such major progress towards a fully democratic system during the past 25 years, it is regrettable that the current administration of President Ma Ying-jeou has eroded Taiwan's democracy and freedoms with his pro-China policies. On the surface these policies may appear to bring about a reduction of tension, but in reality they are setting Taiwan up for a larger conflict when China's repressive designs for "unification" collide with the reality of Taiwan's democracy.
While this backsliding of freedom, democracy and human rights has been going on since the beginning of the Ma administration, we are particularly incensed about recent moves by the Ma government that show a distinct lack of respect for democracy, and a fundamental breach of the basic principles of separation of powers and checks and balances in a democracy.
These basic principles are enshrined in the current (ROC) Constitution in Taiwan. While we strongly believe that the Constitution needs to be amended to reflect the new reality that Taiwan is now a free, democratic and independent country, it is essential that the government abides by the Constitution that is presently in force. The actions of President Ma and his administration in attempting to remove Legislative Speaker Wang Jin-pyng clearly violated those principles.
In addition, the extensive abuse of power and the rampant wiretapping by the Special Investigation Division of the Chief Prosecutor's Office also constitute a violation of the Constitution, in particular Article 12, which guarantees the individual's freedom of privacy of correspondence.
It is time for the Ma government to listen to the Taiwanese people, and to move towards policies and decisions that reflect the views of ordinary people, the men and women in the street. In particular this means:
- An end to the extraordinary powers vested in the Special Investigation Division of the Chief Prosecutor's Office. The Legislative Yuan should immediately pass legislation abolishing the SID,
- Taiwan needs judicial reform, completely removing political influence from the judiciary. The judicial branch needs to be completely independent from both the executive and legislative branch of government, so Taiwan can enjoy clear separation of powers, and
- Taiwan needs legislative reform so that legislators can truly represent their constituencies, and the legislature becomes an effective and efficient part of the system of governance. The legislative process needs to become a true give-and-take of political negotiations; all political opinions are shown respect and decisions are made on the basis of rational discussion.
As overseas Taiwanese we also fully endorse the joint statement issued by the 29 international scholars and writers, who expressed their concerns in a statement titled "Human rights, democracy threatened", published in the Taipei Times on October 14th 2013 and in Hanji in the Liberty Times on October 16th 2014.

Hello everyone! New orchid grower here...
I just got through repotting a couple orchids but the only pots I could find at the store were a little bigger than what was strictly necessary. Conventional wisdom says that this is not good but I don't see any posts about why it's bad or what might happen. Can anyone enlighten me? Background: One plant went from the original 4 inch clear plastic container into a 7 inch glazed ceramic orchid pot. The other plant was basically the same except it's a tiny plant with only about 1 inch of roots and it's now in a 4 inch orchid pot. Also, in order to fill up the pots, I used a mix of about 80% orchid bark mix and 20% sphagnum moss. I've never used sphagnum before. Can anyone advise me how best to water them? I used to just put them in the sink and drench the bark with water but now I'm concerned that the moss might retain too much moisture. Is drenching still the way to go or should I pour a limited/measured amount of water? Thanks so much! Orchid are fun! Sharon |
Follow-Up Postings:
Drenching is almost always the best way to water. Lots of water through the top of the medium. What kind of orchid are we talking about? What form of sphagnum? In general, orchids want alternating wet, dry. Not bone dry but not with constant moisture. The roots start to die and rot away. The top of the plant starts to look under-watered and our instinct says to water more when we should have been watering less. The glazed ceramic pots are a poor choice for potting. Much better is plastic and setting that in the glazed pot for display during the time the plant is in bloom. |
The bigger one is a phalaenopsis and the smaller one is a mystery. We rescued it from a terrarium where it looked really unhappy. I haven't seen it bloom yet so I have no idea what it is. It has roots and not bulbs if that helps. The sphagnum is "Mosser Lee Long-Fibered Sphagnum". I've included the link below for more information. The glazed pot is bad? Really? It's an orchid pot with lots of holes on the sides. It seems like the plastic would be much worse since it only had holes at the bottom. Granted, I can't see the roots anymore but I feel like the orchids will get a lot more air around their roots in the new pots. I guess my main concern was that I didn't want to over-saturate the moss with water. Perhaps I should see how the moss acts before I start to worry. Thanks for your help! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Sphagnum Moss Link
The main problem with a pot too large is that it will take a long time to dry out completely as the plant can't take up all of the mositure. Root rot ensues if you are not careful. I don't use the fancy glazed orchid pots, but the openness of the pots should help them to dry a bit quicker. Good luck, Bob |
Lots of holes is a good thing. Too large a pot for the amount of roots is not good. Most orchid roots like to dry out. Too much medium will stay wet too long with not enough roots to use the moisture, and the roots can rot. Also, orchids bloom better with tight shoes. |

Traditionally, stylistic evolutions have been driven, for the most part, by attitude. As Beau Brummell's dandyism was a masculine rejection of ancien regime powdered foppery, so were Boomer blue jeans proclamations of disdain for gray-flanneled conformity. The current revival of interest in tailored menswear owes much to a similar need for generational re-invention, with bow-tied millennials banishing their fathers' casual Fridays to the underachieving provinces. Their new traditionalism, however, isn't trading on Attitude so much as a new currency of cool, utterly of its time: Information.
With respect to Luca and Lapo, the quintessential style avatar of this movement isn't some playboy actor, musician, and other celebrity, but the common iGent: the faceless menswear blogger, the furtive forumite, the Instagramming man-about-town who runs the gauntlet of sidewalk opprobrium in pursuit of internet glory. They've succeeded in returning mainstream acceptance to fine male dress by adopting the modes of that most red-blooded persona: the fanboy. Like sports buffs combing player stats to assemble fantasy league teams, or gearheads poking around under the hoods of the latest model, the iGent is a fetishist of detail, description, and lore, to be compiled, compared, and endlessly rehashed on the internet.
This can, of course, get pretty tedious. G. Bruce Boyer has observed that many iGents appear to know everything about clothes except how to enjoy them, and I agree that the ostensible end of dressing well - i.e. looking good - is for many #menswear devotees less engaging than the esoterica of its means: the who (Scholte!), what (drape!), when (1923?), and where (A&S and Rubinacci these days if you're a Big Timer). In short, #menswear is driven by dorks. So be it. I'm one of them. It's a term I personally embrace, the better to distinguish myself from those who have come to the mansion of fine tailoring as tourists, lemmings, or - worst of all - to be "dressed for success," either achieved or aspirational. The best among us are Promethean scholar monks of menswear, sifting through talmudic volumes of Apparel Arts for forgotten Fellows plates, or another cracking story about the origins of tweed, and offering it up for lunchtime cubicle consumption by the more casually interested masses (with, perhaps, better things to do).
The problem is that increasingly, there are no more forgotten Fellows plates. Like so much over-chewed gum, those once delicious morsels of sartorial lore from Boyer and Flusser have lost their flavor. For the initiated, the very bywords of cloth are still savory - drape, belly, spalla camicia - but being nothing new, they're empty calories. There is simply very little new information, and in its place, we're gorging ourselves with endlessly tumbled selfies, addicted to rack-focus tog porn of voluptuously rolled lapels and tightly handsewn buttonholes. This is what Réginald-Jérôme de Mans meant when he recently predicted "that #menswear will eat itself." At the very least, if we're not careful, #menswear will end up looking like the plain old menswear flogged by lifestyle glossies. I'm not ready to write us off just yet, however.
In the often breathtakingly catty world of online clothes dorkery, a respectful deference is generally granted to actual tailors. Few and far between, and generally too busy to care much about the pontifications of the iGentry, they are the remotely exalted mediums of the cloth, mandarins of cut whose informed explanations can help clarify, redeem, or mercifully end discussions that so often otherwise descend into slugfests of taste or opinion. The first tailor to fully appreciate this new role was Anderson & Sheppard "expatriate" Thomas Mahon, who in 2005 launched his blog English Cut, offering an unprecedented glimpse behind the famously drawn curtains of Savile Row. It was (and remains, in attenuated form) a simple, unpretentious blog, lacking the spit-polish we've come to expect from luxury internet marketing, and this was exactly the point. Mahon wasn't selling crass luxury, or even the stiff upper lip of the old Row - he was selling the unique romance of his craft in all its dorky detail. To call it catnip for the then-burgeoning menswear blogosphere (which it undoubtedly was) is to do Mahon an injustice; his posts were an education, and remain essential reading.
As Englishcut.com exploded Mahon's business, he's had less time to devote to it, but other tailors have stepped forward to carry on professionally informed yet accessible menswear discussions for the iGentry. Foremost among them is Jeffery Diduch, whose excellent blog Made By Hand literally dissects the work of top tailors and makers--a potentially obnoxious enterprise rendered wholesome by Diduch's personal decency and professional forbearance. Sadly for us, Diduch's own rising star in the industry (and a nasty injury) have reduced his posts to a trickle.
I have long wanted to make my own contribution to this somewhat lapsed discussion, but I am not a tailor, and as a documentary filmmaker my work is only as good as my subject; I needed to find a bespoke tailor with both the time and confidence to lay bare his craft - and ideally one able to articulate it engagingly. It was a tall order, but one perfectly met by Rory Duffy.
I'd first heard of Duffy in 2009, when, as the first Irish apprentice of Henry Poole & Co, he won the coveted Golden Shears Award in London. Duffy has since completed his training and moved to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where he's hung his shingle offering "handcraft" bespoke, which he describes as a pre-war Savile Row standard of construction, made wholly by himself on premises. The term "bespoke" has, of course, been hijacked to flog everything from investment portfolios to hardwood floors, and the antiquarian decor and heritage marketing so common among ateliers today too often masks the absence of a true bespoke process. For Duffy - often found sweeping up biscuit crumbs before greeting clients in his home workshop - the clothes have to be everything.
Duffy is young - thirty years old - in a trade where youth can be judged a liability, but his age belies the seven years of training he completed, and the four generations of tailors from which he descends. Most importantly for our purposes, Duffy's youth makes him hungry to establish his name and credentials in New York City. To that end, he agreed to be the subject of a series of a web series: "The Making of a Coat." Each installment will follow one step in the construction of a single-breasted, three-button, patch-pocketed, RAF blue flannel suit coat, allowing Duffy to play an "open hand" -- explaining in detail not just the hows of bespoke tailoring, but the whys.
For a variety of reasons ranging from honest trade secrecy to the mildly fraudulent, the actual processes of clothing production are often closely guarded or gently obfuscated. Duffy has nothing to hide. On the contrary, having come up in an old-world apprenticeship, he is committed to teaching others; his own former apprentice at Poole, Emily Squires, went on to win this year's Golden Shears Award, and since moving to New York, Duffy has been a lecturer at the Parsons School of Design. He is a natural raconteur, leavening his demonstrations with recollections of his own past masters in Ireland and on the Row, and whenever possible I have left these in the videos to give the viewer a sense of being, as I have been, a very keen fly on his wall as he works.
I sincerely hope that The Making Of A Coat will account for countless lost hours on company clocks and endless rounds of more or less civil online discussion.

SO sorry if this is repetive. I've spent 2 hrs. trying to find the answer, using the search function on GW and on Google.
So do you always wash off the roots - for all plants? regardless of what they're planted in? whether you're repotting into 5-1-1- or 3-2-1? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I do not bare root plants unless the soil they are in is very bad or they have been in it for a very long time. For me that is only about one in ten. Al |
- Posted by jojosplants Az. z. 9 (My Page) on Fri, Jun 10, 11 at 9:48
cyn~ Can you tell us what plants you need to transplant into the mixes. It would help. I don't bare root annuals that are going into the 5-1-1. I just loosen the existing soil and knock most of it off and put a few vertical slits. And like Al just stated, unless they are in very bad soil. I recently put a mini rose in the 5-1-1 and the original soil Had to go! The rose sulked a little but sprang back! As far as the gritty mix goes. Some tree's and shrubs should not be bare rooted this time of year. JoJo |
At this point I'm just repotting houseplants into the 3-2-1 mix (not quite ready for 5-1-1 yet). I know the soil in them is VERY old and probably very poor, so it will probably be best to wash it off. Thanx to both of you for your advice. :-) |
For veggies and annuals, like JoJo I just shaggle some of the loose soil off, and pop in into the 5-1-1. However, for anything long term, like houseplants, I'll bareroot the thing, wash the peat soil off, and repot. Anything going into the gritty mix always gets washed of ALL soil. Leaving any substantial amount of the old, cruddy peat soil around the roots creates a little patch of soil that has different properties then the rest of your mix, and can create problems. The 5-1-1 mix naturally dries out faster, but the wad of peat on the roots may still be wet. As for the timing thing with trees and shrubs, well, that's up to you personally. In your zone, it is a bit late for repotting, but in my opinion, I see no benefit in leaving them in a crumby mix any longer then they have to. For me, here in zone 4, things are not too far along, so repotting now isn't as detrimental. Joe |
I usually bare-root/root-prune all houseplants when I repot, and prefer to repot them in Jun & Jul. Most plants that prefer/need/get a cold rest are repotted and root-pruned before they wake in the spring, except for junipers & pines. Al |
For most houseplants in very old, compacted, depleted soils, I do bare-root them, washing off as much of the old soil as I can, and untangling the roots a bit as I clean them off under tepid running water. I trim the dead roots off, and keep them out of direct sun and wind, keeping them moist, as I work. If the roots are really tight and balled up, I kind of pull them apart a bit from the bottom, removing the old soil from the center of the rootball. I might have to cut or slit the roots a bit if they're that tightly balled up. I just use my best judgment, and keep the roots moist and protected as I work. I may soak them in a solution of water and Superthrive for a little while before placing the plant in its new home of fresh medium. Then, I water it in, and place it in a protected spot out of direct sun and wind so it can acclimate. |

how bout fruit trees in container? |
...... more specific, please? 'Fruit trees' covers a lot of territory. Al |
- Posted by redshirtcat 6a MO StL (My Page) on Fri, Jun 17, 11 at 22:55
Al I've been curious for some time about how you handle the washed-off soil? Whenever I bare root and repot I always end up with a big mess of mud. Is this unavoidable or is there some trick that you have? Also do you ever capture and re-use any of the material? |
Thanx to everyone for all your advice! |
- Posted by charleslou23 (My Page) on Mon, Jun 27, 11 at 14:31
"more specific, please? 'Fruit trees' covers a lot of territory." tropical fruit trees like guava, lychee, mango, star fruit and also citrus trees. |
redshirt, when I do a barerooting, I start with two 5 gallon buckets. The first is for crumbling off soil without the use of water, the second I fill up with water for dunking. First, I try & crumble off as much of the old soil as I can, into the dry bucket, to catch the mess. I'll then resort to dunking the rootball in the bucket filled with water, and gently wiggle my fingers in the rootball while it is submerged. This process will get most if not all of the old soil off of the roots. Finally, once I've got most or all of the old soil off, I take the hose to it to get any last bit of old soil off. I just do this in the lawn, because by the time I start hosing, there is little or no old soil to make a mess. As for what I do with the old soil, well, it basically gets tossed in the garden, or in the compost pile for future garden use. Joe |
- Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (email@example.com) on Mon, Jun 27, 11 at 20:42
I do what Al does, except I start a month earlier. As for annuals and perennials, I just stick them right into the new soil slipped out carefully right from the pots. Mike:-) |

Before last week's deep freeze, the blossoms on my 'Setsugekka' camellia looked like the ones in this photo; white and frilly, centered in fluffs of yellow stamen. I have three of these sasanqua camellias espaliered against a tall hogwire screen, and the combination of their glossy green leaves and white blossoms is the big show in my little garden in late November into January. But last week's deep freeze did them in; now they're wrinkly paper-bag brown...those that haven't already dropped off.
But the wonder of sasanqua camellias is that they bud back up when the weather warms, and bloom again throughout the winter. Sasanquas are more delicate looking shrubs than the bigger, March-flowering Camellia japonicas. The leaves are shiny deep green year-round, their growth habit is a little lanky, so they're ideal to grow against a fence or wall, preferably near your entryway, garage so you can enjoy the site of them from a window. Their real glory is their bloom time; Sasanqua camellias start blooming in November (depending on variety) and keep at it until the daffodils take over.
While C. 'Setsugekka's" large white blossoms look so amazing on a dark December day, C. "Kanjiro' has fragrant, semi-double blossoms in pink edged with red. C. 'Apple Blossom' is an old favorite with white blossoms blushed in baby pink. Monrovia has just introduced new 'Marge Miller' with hot pink flowers that look almost as extravagant as peony blooms....well, see for yourself...all photos courtesy of Monrovia:

You are Gordon Freeman. You have accepted work from the mysterious G-Man. You thought he was interested in giving you work as a special agent, to go on secret missions and save the world! Instead, he assigns you to an office, to work through mounds of paperwork. After a few years of work, your office complex grows into a military base and scientific research facility. Great, you think, more government experiments. After weeks of no "accidents", you put your mind at rest and start getting a lot more sleep on company time. Until, one day everything goes awry (of course) and the Xen aliens return. With the military again trying to kill all people in the know, you must escape Yellow Desert Research Base.

Fun, short mod with the difficulty ramping up (rather quickly, I felt) as it carries on.
Features some cool battle sequences between human grunts and aliens.
Definitely not one of the most original or best mods, but it's good if you need a quick Half-Life fix.Check the Story section of the office.txt for a quick laugh too.
Yus. Hard ish. Some map change stuckness. Easy jump in first map
Don't kill the Garg, run away!!.
Slightly non linear. Enjoyable, fast moving, often fatal. Definetly worth a go.

Are these in nurseries or gardens at all in the Northwest? Any particular reason why they wouldn't be? I can't say I've ever seen one. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Never heard of them before. Is this some kind of false broom? |
Have appeared at local outlets in the past. I think I have bought one, although this purchase did not result in a long and memorable relationship. Also recall a small planting being at Children's Hospital at one time. Have you looked at The Plant Locator - Western Region for listings? |
Yes, another genus of brooms. They sound interesting in Botanica's 'Trees and Shrubs' although you can only tell so much from a few brief descriptions and small pictures. They seem to offer some different flower colors than those Genistas. I'll check the plant locator but I'd kind of like to see what a big one looks like around here before I buy one. |
Today I parked near the hospital and walked up the main drive. Saw no sign of the brooms in the general area they used to be in, along the drive. At the north entrance to the upper building a gardener was working. She said she had worked at the hospital seven years and had not seen this plant. I continued on and had a look around, but did not see any of the broom. Anyone living in the area or visiting Seattle from outside the area and interested in botanical garden style plant displays should visit this facility as the grounds there have been planted and maintained in such a fashion for many years. The cafeteria had a display case with one piece of cake and one piece of pie and a sign "Cake and Pie, $1.85". Well, I thought it was funny. Out in the seating area I encountered a very overweight boy chowing down on what appeared to be the same kind of cake - but at least twice the size of my piece! As I walked by, also shoveling it in I thought of asking if he had in fact purchased the same item for the same price - but his family/companions immediately appeared to sense my interest and all glared at me in unison. I kept moving. And gobbling. |
Yes, I should go there sometime. I've heard of a couple things there that I might like to, um, propagate... haha. |

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Gaddamit. I can't deal with not being honest anymore. I mean, I don't have half the drama any of you guys have (in fact, I kinda go into negatives), but I can't stand it! I mean, all of my female relatives (and a few male) keep on asking me if i like any guys at school, and I'm like AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Every time. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. I mean, what the fack? And it really sucks because I know everyone will be cool with it by the end, except my grandma. yay. I mean, she's not just conservative. She's like "bringing up politics in dinner and actually thinks Obama's a terrorist" kind of conservative. But I know I shouldn't have expected to have a perfect life. I mean, I'm so facking lucky. But still. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. AAAA. A.
And while I'm ranting (kinda my way of praying, which is why I didn't swear), pllllllleeeeeeeaaaaaaaaasssssssssssszzzzzzeeee God, let someone attractive come out and be my girlfriend. Please. Cause right now I really need an OOOOO to counterbalance my AAAA.
yeah, that does get annoying..the relatives asking that. hmm. i say just come out. next time one of them asks, just do it then. I know it's a lot harder said than done, but it could be better that way. shock them :). and you ended this journal entry nicely. hope everything goes in your favor :]
coming out (even with a supportive/accepting family) is horribly hard. like...harder than anything. but it is the HUGEST relief to get it off your chest. so...take a deep breath, and just do it. maybe wait til grandma goes home (she doesn't live with you, does she?), and just....let it all out.
In the meantime, scream a lot. It makes you feel better, even if it doesn't do anything else. :D
Good luck surviving the holidays. *hug*
"this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart" e.e. cummings
know what? given how my grandma is soooo going to ask me since she's staying in my room this christmas (with the gay stickers on the door), i just mught tell her :)
You want to find a closeted girlfriend. Mixed relationships are harder. Out people do better dating out people, closeted with closeted. When closeted people date out people, they try to make the out person become semi-closeted again. Never works out well, based on what I've seen...
"Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment." - Rumi
I'm going through the same problem.
"When are you gonna geet a girlfriend?"
"Uh... You don't wanna know."
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Remember me to one who live there.
He used to be a true love of mine.
I disagree with Jeff. Although having one closeted person and an out person can cause problems, don't rule out mixed relationships to soon. Yes, it sucks, but it can also help. Closeted relationships (hose with two closeted people) would hopefully become a mixed relationship eventually anyway. Coming out together is really hard, not to mention that if one person starts wanting to be out, and the other isn't ready, hard times. I think all relationships suck. I know, cynical. But really, your going to have to face all sorts of shit no matter how out or closeted you both are. No matter what the combination, (other than out out which all relationships should eventually be, hopefully, maybe, please?) have problems. i don't think closeted people should only date closteded people. Just as out people shouldn't only date ouyt people. Mainly because there just aren't enough of us. Frankly, its hard enough finding someone who isn't straight to be in a relationship with, so why limit yourself further?
Anyway, coming out isn't easy, not is it a one time thing. Hate to sound like a pamflet or whatnot, but when you decide you want to come out, it won't be easy. Its important to remember that people's first response isn't always how they actually feel. It takes most people time to come to terms with them being queer. So how can we dump this on the people who care about us, and expect them to have it all figured out right away? Give it time and remember that these people still love you, no matter how long it takes them to realize that.

I was reading the fluff in Operation Hades and I see on page 7 that they mention SSU having heavy combat armor. It is mentioned in the SSU Veterans section. Is this a hint that there are armor 3 troops coming for the SSU?
With Icarus coming out having rules for minefields and the Hades fluff mentioning that the heavy combat armor gives "renewed mobility" to soldiers wounded by advanced minefields and other traps.
Does this mean that there will be tesla weaponed armor 3 troops in their future? I hope so.
