GlobalWarming is due to Sun Activity and not CO2
Posted under Global Warming Awareness
As mentioned in my previous post that GlobalWarming is not caused by manmade CO2, then what causes it? Based on the documentary movie The Global Warming Swindle, the main cause of global warming is really the sun and the natural cycles of activity it goes through.
Sun activity observation was first experimented on for weather forecasting in the late 80′s by Dr. Piers Corbyn and was once called the super weatherman as he was talked about in media for having more accurate results in weather forecasting.
None of the major climate changes in the last 1,000 years can't be explained by CO2.
Dr. Peirs Corbyn
Climate Forecaster
Weather Action
Using the sun as a tool for weather forecasting started when people started observing sunspots. Sunspots are intense magnetic fields that appear on the sun that have higher solar activity. Ancient astronomers used to count the spots and relate them to events happening.
In 1893, Edward Walter Maunder has noticed that the amount of sunspots were at it's minimum during the Little Ice Age and in dedication to his discovery, this period was called the Maunder Minimum.
During the last 100 years, temperature and amount of solar activity has shown a strong correlation. Solar activity could be measured in the amount of sunspots.
In 1991, a senior scientist of the Danish Meteorological Institute has traced back records and graphed temperature and solar activity through the measure of amount of sunspots. And the solar activity showed a strong correlation with temperature where solar activity dropped in 1940 and started rising again in 1970.
Although in this study, they have thought this may be a coincidence, thus further study was done looking back 400 years and the same results have appeared.
the previous 400 years, presented the same relationship of temperature and amount of solar activity showing the strong correlation of globalwarming and amout of sunspots.
The theory of cloud formation due to cosmic rays where cosmic rays hit the ocean surface causing much water vapor in the air contributing to the amount of clouds. This brought about another theory where when there were more sunspots, there were less cosmic rays. And with more cosmic rays, there were less sunspots.
Since sunspots give rise to strong burst of electromagnetic waves and solar wind, it is perceived that these solar winds are able to divert cosmic rays which usually come from exploded super nova.
Simple illustration of cosmic rays hitting Earth that increases cloud formation.
Simple illustration of higher solar activity causing solar winds to divert cosmic rays. This higher solar activity will also give rise to higher temperatures.
Professor Nir Shaviv, an astrophysicist has studied cloud forming cosmic rays and has compared this with the 600 year temperature record research done by geologist Jan Veizer and their research has shown a good correlation of cosmic rays and global temperature.
Correlation of global temperature over time plotted against amount of cosmic rays over the past 500 years.
There is a inversely proportional relationship between the amount of cosmic rays versus the degree of temperature. As cosmic rays increased, temperature decreased. And as temperature decreased, cosmic rays increased. Flipping the temperature graph of the cosmic ray graph, you will see a strong correlation between the two.
Inverted global temperature graph over time with amount of cosmic rays.
We just compared the graphs, we just flip them one upon the other, and it was just amazing and Jan Veizer looked at me and [said] you know, we have very explosive data here.

University of Jerusalem
I have never seen such vastly different records coming together so beautifully to show really what was happening over that long period of time.
Professor Ian Clark
Department of Earth Science
University of Ottawa
Since climate change is controlled by clouds, and amount of clouds were determined by the amount of cosmic rays. And cosmic rays were affect by solar winds, which are more potent with more solar activity and has been measure through the amount of sunspots. So to sum it up, what these scientist are trying to say is that climate change, globalwarming is really brought about by sun activity. And is not due to anthropogenic CO2.
As I end this post on my website… let me state that the issues mentioned above are not necessarily my thoughts and is basically what has been mentioned in the documentary movie The Global Warming Swindle, it is your role as the reader to believe or not believe this post. There has been people that support this video like the other video documentary GlobalWarming Doomsday Called Off. Although there are people whose belief are contrary to these people. Like in the documentary, the GlobalWarming Denial Machine. I have also several comments left here by Simmons and has read Bill Butler post on his take on The Great Global Warming Swindle that have very valid points to consider, and I give it to the reader to decide. Don't stop and just believe right away. Read more and decide for yourself.
Update: An interesting comment left on Digg by ssam, about this post points to: Climate Change Myths, made by the Met Office Hadley Center which was opened in the early 1990s and is a world-leading climate center. It has over 150 world-renowned climate experts who draw from the expertise of the supercomputer modelers at the Met Office. Something you might also want to check out.

Well, this information is new for me. Thanks.
But I believe the anthropogenic sources of CO2 have some role in global warming. -

Oh! I absolutly agree! I do not think that CO2 has no cause what so ever I just believe that the CO2 contribution is relativly minor compaired to other much more likly factors i.e. the sun.

I couldn't agree with you more. Global Warming has become the new religion of the godless Stalinist Left. They are trying to quash any dissent at all. Professors are fired for speaking the truth and schools are forcing "An Inconvenient Truth" (Ha) on school children. Isn't the left the ones that claim to have the open mind. I really believe that the primary thrust on this issue is coming from the anti-capitalist, anti-western and anti-american quarters.
Orangecloud on 04 Jun 2007 at 12:10 am #
It is dangerous to think that ONLY anthropogenic CO2 is the reason for any climate change in that this creates an unecessary and unfounded sense of self importance and egotism; to think that only WE are responsible for changes on our earth and in the universe.
Taxation and discrimination (against poor unindustrialized nations) are then allowable actions all in the name of "stopping global warming". Instead of understanding all the contributing factors and acting accordingly.
I am a nontheist humanist and I want nothing to do with the anti-human stance which is Al Gore and his minions; marching with zombie like direction whils muttering propaganda.
Nothing NOTHING in life is ever so simple and black/white.

Woudn't you agree that there is (at least) a slight chance that man IS affecting global warming? Shouldn't we put more money into research, so we can figure out how significant our contribution is, and how or if we can reverse it?
Most of things that are being pushed to slow warming are related to conservation. Is conservation – making our (limited) resources last longer – bad?!
I do NOT understand the people who think we shouldn't worry. It's like playing Russian Roulette: not something a sane person does. If you want to drag God into the picture, saying that he will save believers, my response is this – Ever heard the phrase "God helps those who help themselves"? Even if you are a true believer, what harm can come of trying to help yourself out of this predicament? Maybe God would be happy and/or proud that you were strong.
Personally, I think it should be called "Dangerous Global Climate Change", rather than "Global Warming". Why? Because there are too many idiots who have one wet summer, or one extra-chilly winter, and start proclaiming loudly that they knew all along that global warming was wrong. "Dangerous" reinforces the fact that it will be no picnic. "Change" will silence the idiots who don't realize that weather pattern changes will cause local changes that don't necessarily match the global average.

The "vast majority of scientists" was always wrong. Current situation with eco-hysteria is no exception.
In any controversy, it is easy to spot the losing side: it is a side that uses the word "idiots" to describe their opponents. Winners don't need to insult their opponents.
No, we cannot do anything with the climate change forced by cosmic events like Solar activity. It would be a disastrous waste of money — the same money that individuals could save to better prepare their homes for coming record cold years (sunspots are precious few lately).

Why does the sunspot record stop in the 1980′s. Isn't that when the sunspots decrease when the global temperature actually increases??
Vermillion on 29 Mar 2008 at 8:13 am #
Does the sun send out any cosmic rays? Or does these cosmic rays have much higher energy than the rays of the sun?
Mother Earth on 29 Mar 2008 at 5:50 pm #
Cosmic Rays is nothing but an electromagnetic waves. And electromagnetic waves are everything from radio waves, microwaves, infrared (IR), ultraviolet (UV), visible light, gamma rays, x-rays, cosmic rays etc. Depending on the source of light/wave/sound, it gives of the waves at a certain wavelenght. Your flashlight will give you visible light, you cellphone uses microwaves and so does your microwave oven.
Depending on wavelengths, some waves reach longer distances than others.
So again cosmic rays or cosmic waves is nothing but a wave just like any other wave as long as it is in within the wavelength range.
Now the sun, which is the constant atomic reaction of converting Hydrogen to Helium to Hydrogen is so powerful that this energy lights up many planets and releases almost every wave conceivable. So yes, the answer is the cosmic rays are coming from the sun. Although there are also some faint amount form very distant stars, which is what the sun really is. Just one of the stars.

I have a couple questions. This article states "The theory of cloud formation due to cosmic rays where cosmic rays hit the ocean surface causing much water vapor in the air contributing to the amount of clouds."
So, assuming the water vapor is created because the cosmic rays hit the ocean and heat the water causing it to evaporate, wouldn't the electromagnetic rays generated by the sunspots have a similar effect? It seems to me the two phenomena are fairly similar, both sunspots and supernovae generate very wide electromagnetic spectra ranging from infrared to ultraviolet. I suppose this is the same question Vermillion was asking, but the response from Mother Earth really didn't address the issue in question, namely: Do solar winds have a role in cloud formation? Is there any data to prove the difference in effects between cosmic rays and solar winds? I found Professor Shaviv's article here: http://www.sciencebits.com/ClimateDebate/ . It is quite informative and convincingly makes the argument that cosmic rays are involved in cloud formation. But I am curious if there is there any research which can disprove a correlation between solar winds and cloud formation.
Also, in the diagram provided it shows the cosmic rays coming from an angel which is able to be diverted by the solar winds, but if the rays are generated from supernovae shouldn't they come from a number of directions? Certainly there have been many supernovae in the history of the universe and, given their enormous variety of distance from the Earth, we are probably being bombarded by cosmic rays from supernovae which occurred hundreds, thousands or even millions of years ago. Is the frequency and geometry of the sunspots able account for redirecting a significant amount of cosmic rays which would account the dramatic rise in global temperature over the past century?
I'd also like to say that aside from its supposed role in climate change, concentrated CO2 causes pulmonary and respiratory problems in human beings. Thus, even if CO2 has a nonexistent or minimal role in global warming, it still would behoove humanity to reduce enormous carbon emission we put into the atmosphere (CO2 in the atmosphere has increased %35 since the beginning of the 18th century). I am all for being skeptical about what were told and entertaining different points of view, but I do think it is quite dangerous to minimize the role of CO2 emissions in the atmosphere, especially considering there are many power, auto and oil industry tycoons out there who will say anything to keep selling their products regardless of its effects on the environment.
Thanks for an interesting read!

I'm glad someone has the same views I do, and as a response to a previous comment, even if global warming IS caused by CO2, there is no way to reverse it. You could stop every factory in the world and it wouldn't matter AT ALL. And even if it did, once the earth warms the oceans to a certain extent, which causes water vapor, enough clouds will form to cool the earth. Then, instead of freaking out over global warming, people will freak out about an ice age. A never-ending pattern: the earth warms a little, people freak out; the earth cools a little, people still freak out.
Soap on 20 Oct 2008 at 6:45 pm #
How come all the people that say sunspots cause global warming cut off their data at 1980 or so? Could it be because since 1980, the temperature has risen dramatically, but sunspot cycle amplitudes have not?
Incidentally, the scientist whose work the graphs up above are based on has put up a website which explains that he does not agree with the conclusions you're drawing from his work and that he would like you to stop.
G.Brown on 01 Nov 2008 at 7:26 am #
Absolutely brilliant. Well done lad. I completely agree with all of this information. About the comment on quashing scientists I cannot do anything about as I have been overruled by the other M.P's.

Two MAJOR problems with this analysis: (1) The graphs make it appear as if the very best correlation between solar activity and temperature was in the 1600s, but solar activity cannot be recorded for this period because there were no sunspots. Did you just make up the line for the 1600s to fit your theory? (2) The most recent data, since 1980, is not included. Is this because during this period solar activity declined while warming accelerated more than ever, thus proving that modern global warming is not driven by solar activity? Just asking.

Why does the first graph stop before 2000?
CW on 22 Nov 2010 at 2:49 am #
That Temp and Cosmic Activity over 500 million years is absolute complete and utter crap. I have not seen any scientist who begins to think they can estimate on a graph something that far back.
Problem with that first graph: the scale for two completely different data sets is arbitrary. Temperature record stretches back hundreds of thousands of years from ice core records…..can they show cosmic activity for that period of time? The first graph is useless unless you can keep stretching back in time and they make sense.
CW on 22 Nov 2010 at 2:57 am #
Weathergurl's incomplete understanding of the greenhouse effect is DANGEROUS.
Water vapor has as huge net positive effect on global temperature. Not all water vapor forms clouds…yes, clouds do reflect part of the VISIBLE EM radiation from the Sun….but ALL water vapor (visible or not) absorbs heat from portions of the EM radiation that hits the earth.
Weathergurl is VERY incorrect, and the fact that the other commentors have not corrected her shows how little they know and that they should not be trusted to voice any opinion on the subject.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jalarium I had such a great time I came back
I am just a normal guy who became an spg platinum member while filling in for someone on maternity leave. So I am not a high falootin traveller by any means. If this sounds like you then you'll love this place.
My room was great I was upgraded to a jr suite upon arrival. Complimentary breakfast buffet was fantastic.
This buffet was served in the 2nd floor restaurant because the club lounge was being upgraded and was under construction - that lounge looks impressive - I took the elevator up and had a look - you have a great view of the river.
On Thursdays they have a deal on their supper buffet - Half price for spg members - and booze is included in the price 109 rmb for you 218 rmb normally. I don't drink and found it a good deal. Western and Chinese fare available.
Location - couldn't be better.
Pool - big 9.5' deep - relaxing
Last but not least was the service - everyone is there to make your stay as pleasant and as memorable as possible.
I originally planned to stay 4 days in Yangshuo but left the hustle and bustle after two days and returned to the Sheraton to enjoy the rest and relaxation. On my return trip the jr suite wasn't available but the room was still lovely and we received a fruit basket.
I have read some criticism that come from seasoned travellers - but that's not me - I have stayed at various hotels in china and this was my best experience thus far - given I am typing this on a smart phone you gotta believe they're doing something right!
Two thumbs way up.

Rated 5 out of 5 by IreneC Excellent experience
We had a great experience at this hotel. Excellent facilities, clean comfy room, wonderful location. The staff was very responsive both during our stay and after we left. During our stay, we were served with a smile and eager responsiveness to our every request. After we left, we thought we left an item in our room. We emailed the hotel, and they got the housekeeping staff and supervisor to search the room for our lost item. We got an email response within a day or 2 given the time differences.
We had read complaints about the hotel décor being "dated". We disagree. We think it is very grand, spacious and classic, unlike the current modern hotels that are very minimal in décor and space. Highly recommended!

Rated 5 out of 5 by AASM Great hotel experience in Guilin Sheraton
Hotel location is excellent, in front of the river, at walking distance from many shops, cafes, pubs & restaurants. Hotel staff very serviceable & attentive. Clean rooms & temp control which to me is very important and not always available in many places in China. I forgot important items after checking out and hotel personnel safe guarded them for me to pick up at a later time. I was very satisfied with the overall experience.

Hotel is clean and well-maintained, and the staff is friendly and eager to please. The overall feel is a bit old and dated, however - feels like something from the 1980's, although it is still probably one of the best hotels in town. The staff do their best with terrific service and constant cleaning and maintenance to keep things looking as new as possible. The location is unbeatable, in the city center and on the river.

Found the staff and service excellent. Check in was straight forward and desk staff for checking in and checking out went without a hitch and very fast. Found the buffet dinner fully supplied with much food, as a matter of fact, much more than an average person would want to eat at a sitting and therefore expensive for the amount of food I wanted. Therefore I found eating elsewhere was more fitting since there are many options available very close by.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Longing4Asia Not bad
The hotel is rather older than the Sheratons I've used in 2013. It was also low season so the Club Lounge was not run as usual. One morning I went up at 7 but the Club was not yet open and one evening i went about 15 minutes before closing but the staff was already closing and leaving! I was given upgrades but without views. Since the hotel was not too occupied, I was disappointed that I didn't get a better view room. Breakfast was limited and average. On the last day, we were later than normal. Some dishes were out but the staff was very slow to replace these. There was still at least 1.5 hours left for breakfast so they should have done a better job. Checkout was slower than expected but the staff was friendly.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Wonderers Excellent Location - Hotel needs updates
The Sheraton Guilin is located at an excellent location in Guilin where it is convenient and relatively easy to explore the surrounding parks and shops. However, the Hotel needs upgrading to its exterior and more so its interior to be @ par with other SPG 4 - 5 star properties and other competiting hotel chains.

Box display with an inline player Videobox is Joomla! 2.5.x and 3.x plugin that enables you to insert video and audio in your articles. It supports videos from YouTube and Vimeo, as well as music from SoundCloud, and HTML5 supported video and audio formats. Videobox offers many ways to insert a video inside the content to fit the needs of your website. The Direct player enables you to insert videos in the content quickly and easily, by putting the video ID between two {videobox} tags, like this: {videobox}KKWTdo5YW_I{/videobox}
Another prominent feature of Videobox is the box display, which enables you to insert videos without sacrificing a lot of space for the player. Rather than the full-size video player, box display inserts a video thumbnail (optionally with the title), which behaves just like the photos in your article - by setting it to float to the left or to the right, it gets wrapped by the content. When clicked, video is played inside a lightbox, or using an Inline player.
This approach allows articles to be straight to the point without unnecessary distractions, while keeping the content dynamic, with all the videos still included right where they belong to. However, sometimes the videos are there just as a citation or a note, and the whole video may have nothing to do with the content. In this case, even a thumbnail used by the box display would be irrelevant and distracting. A link to the video seems a good choice in a situation like this, but it does have one unwanted property: when user clicks it, he leaves your website and may not come back. To prevent that, Videobox has an option to insert an "upgraded" link, which plays the video using the lightbox player (like a link to the Bloodbound - Moria video right here)
On the other hand, the Gallery display allows you to insert many videos at once, with a built-in pagination to prevent the gallery from taking up too much space. Gallery can also be used with links instead of thumbnails, which is useful for when you have to add a list of referenced videos to the end of the article.

text: When Mark Byrnes was in fifth grade, his classroom had disintegrated into a handful of groups who had taken to firing spitballs at each other. For whatever reason, the students decided that Byrnes had the talent and the temperament to bring peace to the classroom. "I'm still not sure why…I guess I just put out some kind of vibe," laughs Byrnes. "They chose me to draw up a treaty, and so I wrote one out. But to me it wasn't official unless it was crumpled and yellowish, like the replica copy of the Declaration of Independence my parents gave me. So I colored it yellow using a crayon and crumpled it up a little for effect. That was an early tip off that I was destined to be a history geek." Byrnes now teaches history at Wofford College. He has taught at seven other colleges, the last of which was a private military college in Vermont, before arriving in Spartanburg. Byrnes took to his new home right away, and was convinced that it had taken to him just as quickly. Spartanburg's Byrnes High School generates several headlines in the local sports section, and Byrnes the Professor has a collection of them in his office for all to see…"Byrnes Overcomes Rough Start""Byrnes Puts Power on Display""Byrnes Hardly Sweats""Byrnes Keeps Getting Better" "My all-time favorite is 'Byrnes Rolls, Gets Last Word,'" he says, tongue in cheek. "One of the best things about living in Spartanburg is all of these headlines. I get to pretend they are about me." In reality, the only sport Byrnes plays is tennis, and that is on a "very, very casual" basis. He loves watching sports, though. An avid New York Giants and New York Mets fan, he has both NFL Sunday Ticket and MLB Extra Innings. If you want to stoke his competitive side, whip out the board game Trivial Pursuit. Just expect him to go for as many history questions as possible. "Give me the yellow!" he says. "When I was a kid, my parents would always stop at all of the historical sites while we were on vacations. My parents also liked to read a lot. I guess history has always been second nature to me." History and live music. "My favorite thing to do is go see live bands," he says. "I guess I picked up the habit at UT in Austin. They had a place called the Cactus Café right on campus. When I first moved here I went to Greenville a lot for music, but it's kind of nice that you can see several of those bands here in Spartanburg now, because of a place called The Showroom." Byrnes is a huge fan of Bruce Springsteen. "It's kind of the law when you're from New Jersey," he says. "You have to be." When not watching live bands or teaching at Wofford, you'll usually find Byrnes at home with his dog Riley, a three-year old "All-American mutt." They'll be watching Damages, Grey's Anatomy, the Daily Show or the Colbert Report, most likely. "I've never sat through an entire reality program," he claims. "And I'm one of the few human beings who will only watch a movie once. Unless it's The Graduate, Dr. Strangelove or the original version of The Producers, I don't usually do it."

25 Statement by Kirby
USS RENVILLE, 17 January 1948
It is some four months since the Government of the Netherlands and the Government of the Republic of Indonesia accepted the help and cooperation of the United Nations in settling the Indonesian dispute. That help and cooperation were sent to the parties by the Security Council in a resolution which described the Committee in these words:
'The Council expressed its readiness, if the parties so request, to assist in the settlement through a Committee of the Council consisting of three members of the Council, each party to name one member, the third to be designated by the two members named by the parties.'
From the method of the selection of the Committee, it might have been expected that the members chosen by the parties would have been in continual and serious disagreement. At the outset, however, the three of us resolved that:
'the three members of the Committee met with equal rights and responsibilities, not representing either of the contending parties but acting as a body in the spirit of the purposes and principles of the United Nations'.
I can assure you that our spirit has been one of impartiality, and that with devotion to the principles of the United Nations the Committee has striven to perform its task and to do justice as between the parties without fear of favour, affection or ill-will.
Progress has been slow and the Committee's powers severely restricted, but today the parties have shown by their truce agreement that the assistance of the United Nations has not been in vain. Moreover, they have shown their trust in continued help from the United Nations by agreeing today on provisions which make available a continuation of the assistance of the Good Offices Committee, not only until a political agreement has been reached, but until the United States of Indonesia actually comes into being.
Today we have recorded an initial agreement between the parties on the U.S.S. Renville. It is befitting that the generous action of the United States which, by sending their ship to Java waters enabled the Committee to overcome the first difficulties of bringing the parties together, should provide a meeting place for the signing of the first agreement reached with the good offices of the Committee. Thanks must also be expressed for the valuable help and work which has been performed so unobtrusively that we have come to take it for granted. I refer to the tasks performed by the Secretariat of the United Nations and, often under difficult and trying conditions, by the crews of the American and Australian planes.
There is to be a cessation of fighting, an agreement has been reached on twelve important political principles which we hope will soon become eighteen important principles, and above all is the implicit agreement by the two parties to do everything possible to reach a just, full and lasting political agreement. To my mind the latter is the dominant factor for success, because, without goodwill and a sincere endeavour on the part of the parties to obtain a political settlement, the understandings reached today would be meaningless and the prospects of real peace and order in these islands would be remote indeed.
Bold signatures on impressive documents cannot alone dispel the troubles of this archipelago. Even the limited objectives and understandings of today's agreement will be impossible of performance unless the two parties approach the problem of implementation and the political discussions which will shortly commence, in a spirit of cooperation and tolerance. More important than the words of today's documents is the spirit behind the intentions of the parties. I take heart in the good intentions which the parties have expressed and in the knowledge that the continued help of the United Nations remains available to them.
Today would appear to mark the close of a stage of the Committee's work but it would be more correct to note that tomorrow provides no new task, for the Committee or the parties. We must now continue to perform the real task we came to these islands to perform-to assist in reaching a political settlement. Only after our arrival here were we entrusted with the task of assisting to obtain a truce. Our work of the past few weeks is no digression, for the Committee has always taken the position that a cessation of fighting and killing and a political settlement are closely related problems. Tomorrow the Committee will be discussing matters which are at the heart of the dispute in Indonesia.
Today's agreement provides an opportunity for these discussions to go forward in a spirit of better understanding and cooperation on the basis of principles of the United Nations. I hope that the efforts of the parties will soon attain a second but far more important agreement, an agreement which will bring credit on the Netherlands, the Republic and the United Nations.

The best kind of junk, from our own roof. Free and I didn't have to haul it anywhere. The roofers are coming next week and we've recently updated some other stuff so these had to come down. Score! Any ideas?
I think one needs a whirly roof vent on top, but I'd have to find that first. Giant garden sparkler base? What else? |

Pillars! How cool!! You could set a pot of trailing vines or flowers in the top of one, or both. |
- Posted by rock_oak_deer 8a TX (My Page) on Sat, Aug 14, 10 at 18:16
Hey, good idea! Pillars for a fence or gate, frame the path to the shed maybe. Would love planters on top, but they would have to be secured somehow and deer proof plants only. We have all types of critters here. Squirrels might have a hard time climbing those so I could put a bird feeder or bird house up there. |
I immediately saw the beginnings of a tin-man, but then again, I live in Chittenango, NY (the land of OZ)..... |
- Posted by bluestar_tam (My Page) on Sat, Aug 14, 10 at 23:29
No, mmebrady, I immediatley thought tin-man too LOL. I would be tempted to paint them, cut them different lengths, and put gazing balls on top of them with sparklies down the sides of the pillars. Could also cut out holes in the sides, slip a pot into each hole & create a living pillar. Not quite sure how to go about it, but you could make a giant bird condo. Could drill & attach a ton of solar lights to it & have a trippy solar column. |

The 2 longer pcs I would cut ...so you have a total of 5 pcs (diff hts) & then wrap them altogether with kind of thick wire...leave them in their galvanized finish & use as garden art among some Hostas or choice of plants. The curved pc looks like the body of a caterpillar (giant one!) or creepy crawler critter...could sit a bowling ball at one end for a head! (paint the body with polka dots). Have fun with whatever you do...great saves! Jeanne S. |
Wow everyone has given such good advice! And the best part is I have several of those laying around at deer camp! Lay no more...those babies are coming home! |
- Posted by rock_oak_deer 8a TX (My Page) on Sun, Aug 15, 10 at 15:54
Great ideas, everyone. Thanks, so much fun to read all of these. I have been wondering if I could accomplish something like a tin man, but would need more "parts" and more skill. I do love the garden art statues made from junk parts that I've seen. Attaching them together is a great idea too. I wish we could plant Hostas, but they just won't grow here. There's plenty of other options like Yucca that would look good. oldcrafty - until recently when I found this site I might have ignored those pipes too. For the last heavy trash day our neighbor threw out a wheelbarrow and I didn't even think of a planter. Now that broken wheelbarrow would have been mine in a minute! Keep ideas coming, it's hot out there so will be a while before I do anything outside. |

Last month we took our first look at the nForce 680i LT specs, what Nvidia is calling the affordable option to 680i SLI chipset. While we did not get the chance to test a board due to limited samples, we certainly liked the idea of the 680i LT. It has a number of features we wanted to see implemented in the 650 chipset, as there is quite a big step between the 650i SLI and 680i SLI.
680i LT is the bridge that everyone has been looking for. Its design implements the most important feature we wanted to see, full-speed SLI, with two PCI Express x16 slots running at full x16 speeds, one running off the SPP and one off the MCP. The 680i LT lacks the extra 8 lanes that a full fledged 680i SLI has for a physics engine setup, however, there are ways around this, as even the latest hardware dedicated card from Ageia only requires a PCI slot, so a single PCI Express x1 slot should give these cards all they need.
Also there are a few changes in the SPP such as reduced support for SLI-Ready memory. Rather than 1200MHz memory, only 800MHz is guaranteed to work on this chipset, and its not expected to overclock as high as the full powered 680i SLI.
Today we have got our hands on the first, we hope, of many 680i LT boards. This one comes from DFI, who has really put its all into the product. So let us take a look and see if it is worthy of your dollars. It comes under the famous LANParty name, so we are expecting quite a lot.

I might not be understanding it correctly, and maybe it only applies to broad categories of goods like "potatoes" and "rice" but I would have thought there were a few Giffen goods around.
Like cheap shoes for example. A lot of people will buy shoes based on how expensive they are rather than the quality of the shoe, simply because they have nothing to go on except the quality of the shoe. So if you put up the price of a low quality shoe (which would ordinarily be an inferior good) I would think more people would buy it, making it a Giffen good.

▶ Moose are moving back into the North Country in increasing numbers: if 15 to 20 qualifies as increasing. But 20 Moose is 20 more than the area has seen for more than 100 years.
▶ With volunteer labor and creative fundraising, the city will build Verdantique Park despite the shortfall in matching state money. The state awarded Plattsburgh a share of the environmental bond act: $400,000 over two years.
▶ Clinton County's future may include better airport, public bus and ferry services, but it's local transportation improvements in the year 2012 won't feature a rooftop Highway or bridge between Plattsburgh and Vermont. An interstate highway between Watertown and Plattsburgh would cost a "staggering" amount of money, according to the state Department of Transportation's regional planning engineer.
▶ The Plattsburgh Housing Authority is planning to build a $1.5 million, 100 unit housing colony for low income families and elderly persons. The authority now envisions the new colony as providing housing for 60 low income families and 40 units for elderly persons.
▶ The William H. Miner Research Institute has been quietly enlarging the scope of what administrator Edward Czarnetzky calls "our secondary function;" the broadening of the Institute's ability to help area agriculturists. "Let's face it," Czarnetzky said. "Normal farming in this area is not exactly booming."
▶ The city's master-planners think Plattsburgh ought to put its water service on a paying basis, the same as its electrical service. For $20,000 the new master plan says, the city could provide meters for all water users, most of whom already have them.
▶ The 26th infantry returned recently to Plattsburgh barracks after months of maneuvers. Since August, units of the 26th Infantry have been on various duties which have separated them from one another, and from their home station Plattsburgh.
▶ Tightening up of Northern New York's milk strike was regarded as a certainty yesterday following announcements by officials of the Dairy Farmers Union of four meetings to be held in the immediate future. The meetings are expected to result in efforts to determine the exact strength of the dairy farmers Union in it's fight with the Sheffield Condensed Milk Company.
▶ It was 'ladies and gentlemen of the jury' in court this afternoon as the selection of Franklin County's first mixed jury proceeded before Supreme Court Justice John Alexander.

▶ Few cities the size of Plattsburgh can boast of his many political banners as are now floating in the breeze on our principal streets. The first party to swing a banner was the Progressive, whose handsome banner hangs on Margaret Street near Brinkerhoff.
▶ Never was a candidate for governor given a more hearty welcome by the people of Clinton County than was accorded Hon. Job E. Hedges, Republican nominee for chief executive of the Empire State.

▶ Aviator Gray arrived in the city from Saranac Lake last evening. He came by train bringing his passenger carrying machine with him to make its first flight from the fairgrounds between 3 and 4 p.m. this afternoon. Aviator Gray was greatly disappointed in not being able to make the flight to the city, but weather conditions were such that would have been extremely hazardous to have undertaken.

Any advice for someone considering breast reduction surgery? If you've had it, how did your recovery compare to what your doc prepared you for, what was the worst part, what do you wish you had known ahead of time, etc.?

Leafy, I think someone over at the Kitchen Table forum had reduction surgery some time ago....you might try asking over there, too. Good luck with everything! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Gardenweb's Kitchen Table forum
The BEST thing I've ever done! I lurk here all the time but seldom post...I want to say go for it! My recovery was very easy. I never took anything stronger than tylenol for pain. I took a month off from work not knowing what to expect, but I could have been back in a week or two easily. Now, 7 years later I'm still so glad I did it...wish I would have done it sooner. Let me know if you have specific questions. Judy |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

SANAA, July 28 (Xinhua) -- At least 40 soldiers and 35 opposition
militants were killed in fierce battles in Yemen's northeastern province
of Sanaa on Thursday when the latter attempted to raid a military base of
the Republican Guards, a military official told Xinhua.
"As many as 40 soldiers of the Republican Guards stationed in Samaa
military base in Arhab district were killed when they confronted an attack
by armed tribesmen of the opposition coalition Joint Meeting Parties
(JMP), who managed to control some eastern parts of the most powerful
military base earlier Thursday and held 50 soldiers as hostages," the
official said, requesting anonymity.
"The soldiers backed with Yemeni warplanes, however, forced the tribal
militants out of the base, killing up to 35 members of the opposition
armed group," he added.
Earlier, the ruling party's website reported that Republican Guards
repelled an attack by the opposition-backed armed tribesmen and al-Qaida
militants that targeted their Samaa military base, killing 30 militants.
The Defense Ministry said in a statement that the JMP armed militants were
backed by heavy forces and weapons provided by defected First Armored
Division, which was commanded by dissident Major General Ali Mohsen
al-Ahmar, the half brother of President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
The ministry accused the opposition JMP of seeking to occupy the military
base, seize Sanaa International Airport and set besiege on the northern
and eastern entrances of Sanaa.
Saleh's elite Republican Guards is run by Saleh's elder son Ahmed Ali
Abdullah Saleh.
Tribal sources said warplanes were still striking hideouts of the
militants in several villages in Arhab.
Arhab, about 60 km northeast of the capital Sanaa, has witnessed sporadic
clashes between Republican Guards and opposition-backed armed tribesmen
since late May that left dozens of the two sides dead and forced hundreds
of families to flee the area.

hammer throw
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Athletic event in which a hammer is thrown for distance. The hammer consists of a 16-lb (7.26-kg) metal ball attached to a spring steel wire handle that measures not more than 4 ft (1.2 m) in length. The thrower makes three full, quick turns of the body before flinging the hammer. The sport developed centuries ago in the British Isles; it has been a regular part of track-and-field competitions there since 1866 and an Olympic sport since 1900.

Glentoran had been defending gallantly after they had midfielder Stephen McAlorum sent off after an off the ball incident and despite the odds had taken the lead through Jay Magee.
The first chance of the game fell to the Glens with Andy Waterworth getting down the line and whipping over a cross which Richard Clarke got a foot to but Albert Watson made the block to concede a corner.
At the other end, a corner from Johnny Black caused problems as it bounced into a ruck of players and Linfield appealed for a hand ball - but referee David Malcolm waved play on.
Drama followed after Matthew Tipton felled Johnny Magee. While the referee was issuing a yellow Glentoran's Stephen McAlorum appeared to lash out at Michael Gault.
After consulting with the linesman, McAlorum was shown a red - his Boxing Day action lasting a mere five minutes.
Linfield almost took the lead on 13 minutes when Brian McCaul found space on the right flank and delivered a great cross, however Tipton's header smashed off the post.
McCaul then lashed a shot wide after a good build-up but the Glens ahead a few minutes later.
A corner from Stephen Carson fell perfectly for Jay Magee and his powerful header just went over the line after hitting McCaul and the visitors were a goal up after 21 minutes.
Linfield pressed hard for the equaliser with efforts from Tipton and Murphy going wide.
The best chance came on 40 minutes when McAllister pulled the ball back for Gault, however, his shot was prevented from hitting the back of the net by Magee's last gasp challenge.
From the corner Murphy's header just missed the boot of McCaul at the far post.
Right on the stroke of half-time, a goalmouth scramble eventually saw the ball cleared off the Glentoran goal-line.
Tipton had a chance to restore parity within minutes of the second half when he broke clear but Morris dashed out to make the save.
A minute later, the goal beckoned for McAllister but just when he pulled the trigger Magee made another brilliant block challenge.
A shot from Burns was headed off the line by Clarke and from the corner another moment of controversy came when the ball appeared to go over the line.
The referee, however, waved down Linfield appeals.
Moments later, Morris made a great point blank save to deny Tipton as it began to look as if it was not going to be Linfield's day.
Glentoran's resistance was finally broken on 76 minutes.
A Carvill free kick was met by sub Daryl Fordyce, Morris parried it and McCallister accepted the gift as he rifled the ball home.
Having held out for so long, the Glens were now reeling and four minutes later, Linfield struck the front.
A cross from Carvill found McAllister, his shot was saved by Morris but the ball fell kindly for sub Ross Clarke who forced the ball home for his first ever goal for the Blues.
Over at Solitude, the derby spoils went to Cliftonville in the battle between the top two.
Substitute Joe Gormley scored the all important goal to put the leaders nine points clear at the top and a game in hand over their nearest challengers.
Gormley netted with just ten minutes to go and the Crues could find no way back.
In the bottom of the table battle, the spoils were shared in a six goal festive thriller at New Grosvenor between Lisburn Distillery and Donegal Celtic.
Goals from Scott Davidson, Ryan McCann and a 90th minute strike from Jordan Hughes seemed to be enough for the Whites, but Ciaran Gargan made it 3-3 in injury time. Also on target for DC were Ryan Deans and Paul McVeigh.
At Shamrock Park, the Mid-Ulster derby spoils went to Portadown who saw off Glenavon 2-0 with goals from Ross Redman and Richard Lecky.
Glenavon's Conor Hagan had been sent off on 34 minutes.
Ballinamallard United grabbed a late win at Dungannon Swifts with Hill hitting the all important goal in added time.
Goals from David Scullion and Curtis Allen gave Coleraine victory over Ballymena United at The Showgrounds.

I have fallen in love with succulents... I am fairly new to this forum. I am propagating some chicks, echeveria, sedums (multiple varieties), but am looking to expand. I can trade my offsets and cuttings (just now starting to root!!) as well as a variety of cacti for succulent plants and or clippings. I am especially interested in obtaining some items in the Harworthia or Crassulaceae families. I have:
Sedums: tetractinum Chinese, Cape Blanco,spurlum Stonecrop "Voodoo", Reflexum Blue. Sempervivum A lot of the other specimens I could never give up!! I can send pictures of both the cacti and succulent if interested. |

I have some cacti and succulents that I inherited from a gardening friend when he moved away. They are taking up way too much space in the winter. If you're anywhere near Raleigh and plan on coming to the spring swap I can drag them to it - let me know. |

Republican State Sen. Stacey Campfield Loses District 7 Seat in Primary
Republican State Sen. Stacey Campfield Loses District 7 Seat in Primary
Stream WZTV Fox 17 Newscasts LIVE starting with Fox 17 This Morning at 4:30am and News at 9pm.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Republican Sen. Stacey Campfield, a controversial lawmaker who often drew the ire of his own GOP colleagues, lost his seat to a Knoxville cardiac surgeon in Thursday's election primary.
With 16 percent of precincts reporting, Richard Briggs had 10,657 votes, or 68 percent, compared with Campfield's 4,143 votes, or 26 percent.
The primary was expected to be tough for Campfield, a highly visible lawmaker who often drew attention and sometimes ridicule for his polarizing comments, as well as sponsoring contentious bills on social issues.
They included one ridiculed as the "Don't Say Gay" bill and another that would cut welfare benefits to parents whose children aren't doing well in school.
Most recently, he made national news when he compared the federal health care law to the forced transportation of Jews to concentration camps during the Holocaust in a blog post.
"Democrats bragging about the number of mandatory sign-ups for Obamacare is like Germans bragging about the number of manditory sign-ups for 'train rides' for Jews in the 40s," he wrote. The misspelling of "mandatory" appeared in the original text.
Campfield's remark drew swift condemnation and demands for apology from both Democratic and Republican leaders in the state - including the governor.
"Words matter, and to make the comparison to the Holocaust is wrong, inappropriate and insensitive," said Republican Gov. Bill Haslam, a former Knoxville mayor.
However, University of Tennessee, Knoxville political analyst Anthony Nownes said Campfield was simply representing the views of his constituents.
"One of the things that has always surprised me is that people act like Stacey Campfield is the only person who believes these things," Nownes said.
Campfield did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
Briggs was elected to the Knox County Commission in 2008. After graduating from the University of Kentucky College of Medicine in 1978, Briggs joined the U.S. Army and rose to the rank of colonel. He served in combat during Operation Desert Storm and was awarded the Bronze Star.
"This exceeded expectations," Brigg said. "We thought we were in a good position to win, but we're absolutely elated we did much better than we thought."
Another Republican lawmaker who has been scrutinized by some members of his own party is Sen. Jim Summerville, who faces two serious challengers for his District 25 seat.
With 12 percent of precincts reporting, former Sen. Kerry Roberts of Springfield had 5,320 votes, or 45 percent, compared with Summerville's 1,363 votes, or 12 percent. Former state Rep. Joshua Evans of Greenbrier had 4,762 votes, or 40 percent.
Last year, the Dickson Republican proposed a measure to eliminate affirmative action initiatives from higher education institutions in Tennessee. After the legislation failed in the Senate Education Committee, Summerville threatened Republican lawmakers who voted against it, saying they would face repercussions in this year's election.
"Every Republican with a primary opponent will have to answer for the vote on this bill, and why they believe some Americans aren't ready for equal treatment," he said.
Vanderbilt University political science professor Bruce Oppenheimer said Republicans - as well as business leaders - believe such legislation and polarizing comments like the one concerning the Holocaust actually hurt the state.
"There are business interests and sort of economic conservatives who are saying, these are not the people we need," Oppenheimer said. "It's problematic."
Other Republican incumbents that could see tough races include:
- Rep. Tony Shipley in District 2; challenged by retired policeman Bud Hulsey.
- Rep. Micah Van Huss in District 6; challenged by Johnson City Vice Mayor Clayton Stout.
- Rep. Courtney Rogers in District 45; challenged by businessman Len Silverman.
- Rep. Vance Dennis in District 71; challenged by principal/coach David Byrd.
On the Democratic side:
- Rep. Gary Odom in District 55; challenged by attorney John Clemmons.
- Sen. Ophelia Ford in District 29; challenged by Memphis City Councilman Lee Harris.

Many of us when we think of the omniscience of God, we think about only the big picture: Our thoughts, our actions, and the universe at large. However, omniscience means that God keeps track of absolutely everything; because if He didn't, He wouldn't be omniscient! Hence, here are some amazing aspects about the Creator's fascinating ability that we often overlook.
1.) God keeps track of every chemical reaction that occurs inside your body.
2.) God knows how many times DNA has replicated itself inside your body.
3.) God is aware of the most intricate activities of all the 10 trillion cells that make up your body; and the 90 trillion bacterial cells inside or on your body.
4.) God knows how many times you've eaten throughout your lifetime.
5.) God tracks every single atom that enters your body every time you eat food or drink beverages.
6.) God knows the exact number of hairs on your head and on your body.
7.) God is aware of the number of times the synapses in your brain have transmitted electrical signals throughout your body and between the various sections of your brain.
8.) God knows how many water molecules you've used or wasted throughout your life span.
9.) God knows how many times you've dined on your favorite dish.
10.) God is aware how much gas has gone into your car.
11.) God keeps count of every single word you've uttered.
12.) God knows how many dust mites have slept alongside you inside your current bed and all previous beds you've owned.
13.) God knows the exact measurements and dimensions of your body.
14.) God can precisely count the number of freckles on your face, the total number of lines on the soles of your feet and on the palms of your hands.
15.) God accurately monitors all 2 octillion atoms that make up your body.
16.) God knows exactly where the electrons are orbiting around each of those 2 octillion atoms that make up your body.
17.) God knows the activities of all the octillions of quarks that make up the atoms inside your body.
18.) God keeps an eye on the total number of neutrinos and dark matter particles that pass through your body every second of the day.
19.) God knows the number of bacteria found on all your shoes throughout your lifetime.
20.) God remembers easily the number of bacteria transactions between you and the environment around you.
21.) God is aware of the exact amount of times your heart will beat throughout your lifespan.
22.) God knows exactly where every cell is located inside your body as well as their parent cells and successor cells.
23.) God knows how many grass stalks you've stepped on throughout your lifetime.
24.) God keeps count of every dead cell that has fallen off or was excreted from your body; and where they went to after leaving your body.
25.) God knows how many molecules you've breathed in and breathed out since you were created.
26.) God is aware of how many atoms have went into the words you've written on paper with ink.
And these are only a tiny fraction of all that God knows!

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Jordyn!
Facts about Jordyn
- Breed: Siamese
- Color: White (Mostly)
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Jordyn's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
Our pretty girl Jordyn is sad. As an eye catching flame point Siamese mix with bright blue eyes, she can't figure out why no one has adopted her yet. Jordyn raised 4 polite and cute kittens and is ready for "retirement". We like to start our cats on retirement early, where they eat, nap and play as desired without any obligations whatsoever! Jordyn is only a few years old, with lots of life left. And who has earned it more than some of these homeless mom cats who raise litter after litter of kittens while living on the streets? She can cohabitate with other kitties as long as they respect her personal space :)
Jordyn can be seen at Pet Supplies Plus on 28th St SW in Wyoming until March 15th.
All of our kittens are spayed or neutered, tested for FeLV/FIV, vaccinated against Distemper, and treated for fleas and other parasites.
If you are interested in adopting one of our kittens, please click here to fill out an Adoption Application. Our adoption fee is $85 for one kitten and $125 for two.
Our adoption center is located at 4600 Knapp NE 49525. Our open adoption hours are every Sunday from 12-2pm. Come on out and meet the love of your life!
For more information you can also email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jordyn, a Byron Center Siamese cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Siamese for sale in Byron Center, or seeking a Siamese cat from a breeder in Byron Center.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Byron Center already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Byron Center breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Siamese breeders who help with Siamese rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Byron Center paves the way for another one to be saved.

Your wife/girlfriend needs a friend
Your wife/girlfriend needs a friend
When I was in college, I remember having lots of girlfriends. These friends were close to me; we shared each others' lives, problems and joys. Suddenly, as I got older and married, I began to spend less time with my girlfriends. A recent study conducted by Duke University and the University of Arizona proved that women today have an average of only two close friends, and 24% reported that they had no one they could confide in. This feeling of isolation can lead to depression or worse; we know that a lack of friends can lead to heart disease, cancer, depression and anxiety. Overall, the quality of life is lowered when we are lonely or don't have any close friends.
Female friendships are so important because they provide a source of close, effective communication which is essential in raising healthy families. Many of my best friends have become even closer while raising children and being married. My friends have provided me with a sense of support and security that my husband could not provide (I need both and so do you). Women give more and, therefore, expect more from our friendships than men do. We know we can be vulnerable and honest with each other and that vulnerability will be protected with our friends. Women also have a tendency to hold on to their friendships longer than men do. Women feel very hurt when they lose a friend even if that friend wasn't honest or lied to them.
Women get busy with children, parents, husbands and work, but an area they should never skimp on is maintaining their friendships. It appears to be more significant to women's overall health than for men. It may be something as simple as setting a date for coffee or perhaps even planning a weekend away at a spa. No matter what you do, don't let the relationship go because you don't have time. You may lose more than a good friend.
Tips to Maintain your Friendships
1. Be there when it counts. When one of your friends is going through a tough time, one thing she shouldn't have to worry about is whether you will be there. What I remember most about my miscarriage was that my best friend came and just held me. She didn't say anything; she just held me and let me cry. This meant more to me than the flowers, calls, or anything else.
2. Friendships change so allow your best friend relationships to change. Being best friends doesn't mean the relationships will be the same forever. Your relationships will change after high school, college, and marriage, but the love for each other will continue.
3. Make dates to connect. It may take writing things down in your schedule book or blocking your schedule, but take the time to connect and visit. Friendships take nurturing. If you begin to take the relationship for granted and don't make the time, it will make her believe you no longer value it.
4. The only thing worse than not making a date to get together is "flaking out" on the date. If you make a date, commit to it and make sure you show up. Much better to meet for a short time than not at all.


text: We made it back from the Intermountain Student Outdoor Leadership Seminar this past weekend. We had a lot of fun hanging out at the University of Utah with fellow outdoor enthusiasts. A variety of workshops were held to better educate students on the importance of outdoor leadership. Friday, we headed up Little Cottonwood Canyon to learn some hard skills about avalanches, snow caves and proper outdoor techniques during the winter. The snow was a little heavy and the sun was bright, but that didn't stop us from enjoying the wilderness — regardless of sunburns. Josh Beckner did a keynote presentation Friday night about his climbing adventures from around the world. Josh spoke about the importance of mentoring and outdoor leadership. Because of his struggles and travels, he founded the School for International Expedition Training, or SIET. On Saturday we received instruction from students and professionals regarding outdoor practices ranging from bear safety, leadership and marketing trips. The attendance was good for the conference, considering it took a long hiatus, but we could have used more Aggies to represent the school. It sounds like the seminar will be held next year, we would encourage students from any background to attend.

Mothers May I?: Chwanda Nixon & Kacey Frierson
By Out.com Editors
Photography by Chris Stanford
Chwanda: I always had attractions to females, but Kacey is my first relationship with a woman. I was on my way to being separated from my husband when I met her. He and I were together -- on and off -- for 17 years. We didn't get married until 2005, and I knew I shouldn't marry him, but I did. We had our four kids together.
After Kacey and I met, we talked on Facebook. Then we decided to go to the mall together. I said how I liked chocolate-covered strawberries and she bought one. She decided she wanted to feed me the strawberry. We bought it and went to the car, and she fed it to me, and I went, "Ooookaay..." And it went on from there: Boom! I love hard. I won't say I love quick, because I don't. But I love hard. I'm very romantic. I was missing that.
Also, we both had surgery early on in the relationship, which I will always remember. After she had surgery, I stayed with her, for a week. This was before she even really knew we were gonna be together. I think that was one of the things that really took us over the top: that we could care for each other in that sense.
It was Kacey's fault my kids found out. Kacey's a picture freak, and she was taking some of her friends, while I was in the bed watching TV, trying to hide from this picture she was taking. No one noticed until she put the picture up on Facebook and tagged me, and I started getting phone calls. Two of my stepchildren from my ex-husband, who were way older, found out. So I let everyone know: "You guys are grown, so I'm not really worried about how y'all react. I'm more concerned about the younger ones." I think my youngest son may have cried a little bit. I don't think he was disappointed, but I think it was finally real that I was not gonna be with their dad anymore. The one thing I remember is that they kept saying they wanted me to be happy. And they liked Kacey.
We decided to move and left for Georgia, but we came back in April 2011 after civil unions were made legal in Illinois. We had a big ceremony. We danced to Beyoncé's "Love on Top" as our song. It was a nice turnout, a mixture of close friends and family. A lot more of her people than mine, I'd say.
