New Balance M3090 Running Shoe - Men's

Charles Funderburgh
Great Shoes
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I wear these everyday...I do not run in them but I would buy running shoes because I was on my feet all day. In the past I would have I would have to buy inserts for other running and my feet would still hurt. These shoes have been great I have not put inserts in them and its been about 2 months or so and I have not had sore feet once. I am going to buy some just to run in and test that out too!!!
Durability issues
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I have absolutely loved my New Balance shoes over the years, but I don't think I'm going to buy this pair again. I've put maybe 30 miles on them and the sole is wearing out in a very annoying way. It's not like I'm a big pronator or drag my feet around all day, it's just that there's little or no rubber in places there needs to be rubber. The little foam nubs on the sole are wearing out way faster than the rubber nubs (obviously). The result is that you can feel the rubber nubs under your feet on every step. It's almost like having a rock in your shoe all the time, and it's kind of annoying. I'm a huge fan of the Minimus shoes in general, just not this one. I'd probably try the NB MR00 or something else next time.

Mid Face Lift Before and After Photos
The mid facelift , also known as themini lift, can help to take years off your appearance without extensive surgery. If you have sagging or loose skin, the mid face lift can help to create a tighter, more youthful appearance. This procedure is typically performed only on the middle third of the face and may include other anti-aging procedures.
Take a look at some of the mid face lift before and after photos below to see how this procedure has helped men and women lose years off their appearance. When you're ready for surgery, get in touch with a cosmetic surgeon or board certified plastic surgeon through this website for your consultation.

This article studies a new class of nonlocal boundary value problems of nonlinear
differential equations and inclusions of fractional order with strip conditions. We
extend the idea of four-point nonlocal boundary conditions
fractional differential equations; fractional differential inclusions; nonlocal boundary conditions; fixed point theorems; Leray-Schauder degree1 Introduction
The subject of fractional calculus has recently evolved as an interesting and popular field of research. A variety of results on initial and boundary value problems of fractional order can easily be found in the recent literature on the topic. These results involve the theoretical development as well as the methods of solution for the fractional-order problems. It is mainly due to the extensive application of fractional calculus in the mathematical modeling of physical, engineering, and biological phenomena. For some recent results on the topic, see [1-19] and the references therein.
In this article, we discuss the existence and uniqueness of solutions for a boundary value problem of nonlinear fractional differential equations and inclusions of order q ∈ (1, 2] with nonlocal strip conditions. As a first problem, we consider the following boundary value problem of fractional differential equations
where cDq denotes the Caputo fractional derivative of order q,
The boundary conditions in the problem (1.1) can be regarded as six-point nonlocal boundary conditions, which reduces to the typical integral boundary conditions in the limit α, γ → 0, β, δ → 1. Integral boundary conditions have various applications in applied fields such as blood flow problems, chemical engineering, thermoelasticity, underground water flow, population dynamics, etc. For a detailed description of the integral boundary conditions, we refer the reader to the articles [20,21] and references therein. Regarding the application of the strip conditions of fixed size, we know that such conditions appear in the mathematical modeling of real world problems, for example, see [22,23].
As a second problem, we study a two-strip boundary value problem of fractional differential inclusions given by
We establish existence results for the problem (1.2), when the right-hand side is convex as well as non-convex valued. The first result relies on the nonlinear alternative of Leray-Schauder type. In the second result, we shall combine the nonlinear alternative of Leray-Schauder type for single-valued maps with a selection theorem due to Bressan and Colombo for lower semicontinuous multivalued maps with nonempty closed and decomposable values, while in the third result, we shall use the fixed point theorem for contraction multivalued maps due to Covitz and Nadler.
The methods used are standard, however their exposition in the framework of problems (1.1) and (1.2) is new.
2 Linear problem
Let us recall some basic definitions of fractional calculus [24-26].
Definition 2.1 For at least n-times continuously differentiable function
where [q] denotes the integer part of the real number q.
Definition 2.2 The Riemann-Liouville fractional integral of order q is defined as
provided the integral exists.
By a solution of (1.1), we mean a continuous function x(t) which satisfies the equation cDqx(t) = f (t, x(t)), 0 < t < 1, together with the boundary conditions of (1.1).
To define a fixed point problem associated with (1.1), we need the following lemma, which deals with the linear variant of problem (1.1).
Lemma 2.3 For a given
subject to the boundary conditions in (1.1) is given by
Proof. It is well known that the solution of (2.1) can be written as [24]
Solving these equations simultaneously, we find that
Substituting the values of c0 and c1 in (2.3), we obtain the solution (2.2). □
3 Existence results for single-valued case
In view of Lemma 2.3, we define an operator
Observe that the problem (1.1) has solutions if and only if the operator equation Fx = x has fixed points.
For the forthcoming analysis, we need the following assumptions:
(A1) |f (t, x) - f (t, y)| ≤ L|x - y|, ∀t ∈ [0, 1], L > 0, x, y ∈ ℝ;
(A2) |f (t, x)| ≤ μ(t), ∀(t, x) ∈ [0, 1] × ℝ, and μ ∈ C([0, 1], ℝ+).
For convenience, let us set
Theorem 3.1 Assume that
Proof. Setting
Now, for
where Λ is given by (3.2). Observe that Λ depends only on the parameters involved in the problem. As L < 1/Λ, therefore F is a contraction. Thus, the conclusion of the theorem follows by the contraction mapping principle (Banach fixed point theorem). □
Now, we prove the existence of solutions of (1.1) by applying Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem [27].
Theorem 3.2 (Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem). Let M be a closed, bounded, convex, and nonempty subset of a Banach space X. Let A, B be the operators such that (i) Ax + By ∈ M whenever x, y ∈ M; (ii) A is compact and continuous; (iii) B is a contraction mapping. Then there exists z ∈ M such that z = Az + Bz.
Theorem 3.3 Let
Then the boundary value problem (1.1) has at least one solution on [0, 1].
Proof. Letting
and consider
Now we prove the compactness of the operator .
In view of (A1), we define
which is independent of x. Thus, is equicontinuous. Hence, by the Arzelá-Ascoli Theorem, is compact on
Our next existence result is based on Leray-Schauder degree theory.
Theorem 3.4 Let
Proof. Consider the fixed point problem
where F is defined by (3.1). In view of the fixed point problem (3.4), we just need to prove the existence of at least one solution x ∈ C[0, 1] satisfying (3.4). Define a suitable ball BR ⊂ C[0, 1] with radius R > 0 as
where R will be fixed later. Then, it is sufficient to show that
Let us set
Then, by the Arzelá-Ascoli Theorem, hλ (x) = x - H (λ, x) = x - λFx is completely continuous. If (3.5) is true, then the following Leray-Schauder degrees are well defined and by the homotopy invariance of topological degree, it follows that
where I denotes the unit operator. By the nonzero property of Leray-Schauder degree, h1(t) = x - λFx = 0 for at least one x ∈ BR. In order to prove (3.5), we assume that x = λFx, λ ∈ [0, 1]. Then for x ∈ ∂BR and t ∈ [0, 1] we have
which, on taking norm
Example 3.5 Consider the following strip fractional boundary value problem
Here, q = 3/2, σ = 1, η = 1, α = 1/3, β = 1/2, γ = 2/3, δ = 3/4 and
Clearly, LΛ = 0.282191 < 1. Thus, by the conclusion of Theorem 3.1, the boundary value problem (3.6) has a unique solution on [0, 1].
Example 3.6 Consider the following boundary value problem
Clearly M = 1 and
Thus, all the conditions of Theorem 3.4 are satisfied and consequently the problem (3.7) has at least one solution.
4 Existence results for multi-valued case
4.1 Preliminaries
Let us recall some basic definitions on multi-valued maps [28,29].
For a normed space (X, ‖.‖), let
is measurable.
Let C([0, 1]) denotes a Banach space of continuous functions from [0, 1] into ℝ with the
Definition 4.1 A multivalued map
(i) t ↦ F (t, x) is measurable for each x ∈ ℝ;
(ii) x ↦ F (t, x) is upper semicontinuous for almost all t ∈ [0, 1];
Further a Carathéodory function F is called L1-Carathéodory if
(iii) for each α > 0, there exists
for all ‖x‖∞ ≤ α and for a. e. t ∈ [0, 1].
For each
Let X be a nonempty closed subset of a Banach space E and
Definition 4.2 Let Y be a separable metric space and let
which is called the Nemytskii operator associated with F.
Definition 4.3 Let
Let (X, d) be a metric space induced from the normed space (X; ‖.‖). Consider
where d(A, b) = infa∈A d(a; b) and d(a, B) = infb∈B d(a; b). Then (Pb,cl(X), Hd) is a metric space and (Pcl(X), Hd) is a generalized metric space (see [30]).
Definition 4.4 A multivalued operator N : X → Pcl(X) is called:
(a) γ-Lipschitz if and only if there exists γ > 0 such that
(b) a contraction if and only if it is γ-Lipschitz with γ < 1.
The following lemmas will be used in the sequel.
Lemma 4.5 (Nonlinear alternative for Kakutani maps) [31]. Let E be a Banach space, C is a closed convex subset of E, U is an open subset of C and 0 ∈ U. Suppose that
(i) F has a fixed point in
(ii) there is a u ∈ ∂U and λ ∈ (0, 1) with u ∈ λF(u).
Lemma 4.6 [32]Let X be a Banach space. Let
is a closed graph operator in C([0, 1], X) × C([0, 1], X).
Lemma 4.7 [33]Let Y be a separable metric space and let
Lemma 4.8 [34]Let (X, d) be a complete metric space. If N : X → Pcl(X) is a contraction, then FixN ≠ ∅.
Definition 4.9 A function x ∈ C2([0, 1], ℝ) is a solution of the problem (1.2) if
f(t) ∈ F (t, x(t)) a.e. on [0, 1] and
4.2 The Carathéodory case
Theorem 4.10 Assume that:
(H2) there exists a continuous nondecreasing function ψ : [0, ∞) → (0, ∞) and a function
(H3) there exists a constant M > 0 such that
Then the boundary value problem (1.2) has at least one solution on [0, 1].
Proof. Define the operator
for f ∈ SF,x. We will show that ΩF satisfies the assumptions of the nonlinear alternative of Leray-Schauder type. The proof consists of several steps. As a first step, we show that ΩF is convex for each x ∈ C([0, 1], ℝ). This step is obvious since SF,x is convex (F has convex values), and therefore we omit the proof.
In the second step, we show that ΩF maps bounded sets (balls) into bounded sets in C([0, 1], ℝ). For a positive number ρ, let Bρ = {x ∈ C([0, 1], ℝ): ‖x‖ ≤ ρ} be a bounded ball in C([0, 1], ℝ). Then, for each h ∈ ΩF (x), x ∈ Bρ, there exists f ∈ SF,x such that
Then for t∈[0, 1] we have
Now we show that ΩF maps bounded sets into ;equicontinuous sets of C([0, 1], ℝ).
Let t', t'' ∈ [0, 1] with t' < t'' and x ∈ Bρ. For each h ∈ ΩF(x), we obtain
Obviously the right-hand side of the above inequality tends to zero independently
of x ∈ Bρ as t'' - t' → 0. As ΩF satisfies the above three assumptions, therefore it follows by the Ascoli-Arzelá theorem
In our next step, we show that ΩF has a closed graph. Let
Thus it suffices to show that there exists

Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands
Create My TripThe historic capital of George Town, on the southeast corner of Grand Cayman, is easy to explore on foot. If you're a shopper, you can spend days here; otherwise, an hour will suffice for a tour of the downtown area. To see the rest of the island, rent a car or scooter or take a guided tour. The portion of the island called West Bay is noted for its jumble of neighborhoods, many featuring ornate Edwardian homes built by seafarers, nautical tour companies (and real fishing fleet) at Morgan's Harbour, and a few attractions. When traffic is heavy, it's about a half hour to West Bay from George Town, even with the newer bypass road that runs parallel to West Bay Road. The less-developed North Side and East End have natural attractions from blowholes to botanical gardens, as well as the remains of the island's original settlements. Plan on at least 45 minutes for the drive out from George Town (more than an hour during rush hours). You need a day to explore the entire island—including a stop at a beach for a picnic or swim.

I booked with them thru Expedia and marked the boxes indicating that there would be a second driver and that I wanted their roadside assistance. Therefore I thought the the extra charges for these (totaling $50 for the 3 days I had the car) were included in the price that I was then quoted and agreed to. But then when I picked up the car I was told that the quoted price did not include these and... Read more ›

Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos (as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr user and use Flickr Stats you may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer). Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them. There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples. If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a) make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at: http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. (c) Finally, you can Banish Yourself From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are.

Recipe by amynora
"Light, fluffy scrambled eggs are perfect for a breakfast or brunch crowd! I serve them with my cranberry-orange almond scones and get rave reviews!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Watch video tips and tricks
1/3 cup butter, melted
24 eggs
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
2 1/4 teaspoons seasoned salt
2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
2 teaspoons mustard powder
2 cups milk
I cut this recipe in half and ended up using an 8x8 glass baking dish. Instead of seasoning salt, I used a small amount sea salt and I added a little fresh ground pepper. My two boys, husband and dog made quick work of this. No leftovers. I really liked that I could basically scramble the ingredients and pour them into the dish, throw it in the oven and walk away and do my usual morning stuff. I will use this recipe again for sure.
I made a version of this recipe this past weekend for an extended family brunch. I saw many recipes calling for what I considered to be "too much" milk. I had seen another recipe that rather than milk, using sour cream. So I modified this recipe. I used the 24 eggs (actually used a couple extra, just cause I had them), a big "dollop" of sour cream (likely about 1/3 cup), and I whizzed the eggs and sour cream in my blender. Then to that I added shredded cheddar cheese (I used 1.5 lbs - so it was definitely more than 1.5 cups), drained jar of sliced mushrooms, a couple of shakes of hot pepper sauce, and about a lb of diced ham / bacon. I made 2 of these, so in one I used bacon, in the other I used ham. While I was prepping, I just put the 9x13 pans in the oven, each with a half stick of butter to melt, so the egg mixture went into these pans once the butter was melted. Popped the pans with the egg mixture in a 350 oven for about an hour to an hour and 15 minutes. They were fabulous!!! Everyone raved about them and many want my recipe. It's easy as can be and feeds a crowd. My husband was very leery that these wouldn't be that good and wouldn't be enough. He had to eat his words (along with the eggs!) I will make this again when the occasion arises. Even the leftovers are delicious!!

Easy peasy...and cheesy! Quick dish for a crowd, also good for just two if you've got a lot going on the stovetop. Great dish to add extras (ham, onion, mushrooms, etc.)
Could add spinach, ham, anything

860 reasons to go meat free!
"Making the decision to go veggie is a big one, but in 2013, it doesn't need to mean missing out or eating bland and boring food. With more and more people becoming vegetarian every year, the food market has changed, launching new products that make everyday cooking so much easier for a vegetarian.
From Tofurkey to Facon and even Linda McCartney prawns - you'd be hard pressed to not find a veggie substitute to use to create your favourite meat, chicken or fish dishes. As a vegetarian of 18 years, I know a thing or two about meat-free cooking and the ways to make the most out of simple ingredients.
I've found that I can still enjoy almost all the dishes I loved before, just by making a few smart swaps. Saved in my online recipe book is this Quorn sausage casserole - a great winter mid-week dinner and family favourite. When takeaway cravings set in, I whip up a simple dhal served with rice and poppadums or homemade pizza topped with artichokes and courgettes. And for vegetarian pasta dishes, a jar of pesto in the cupboard is life saver when you want a 10-minute dinner - just chuck in your favourite choice of veg and you're away.
So, whether you've decided to cut back on meat for moral, health or financial reasons - we've got 860 delicious recipes that won't leave you missing meat for a second."

Feed It !
By Illusia Studios
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
Feed it! Or it will eat you, and then everything in your village, then the whole kingdom, possibly expanding out to all nations.
This tiny dragon is insatiable, and the king and queen have tasked you with quite an adventure -- to make sure you feed it frogs, fowl, and even little monsters. There's even cake you can kick over to the dragon.
You do this by shooting the food into its mouth. But your baby elephant friend in diapers doesn't make the job any easier as he blows air at you, causing your tosses to arc. Your buddy should mind his own business.
Miss too much, and the tiny dragon will starve. Then the dragon lord will come and make you pay for your crime by eating up all the boys and girls in your city, and then move on to eat all kids in the world. For this there is no defense. This failure would not be a good story to tell over the ages. In fact it would be a top failure for sure.
So grab a frog before it jumps away, and shoot it right into the mouth of the dragon. Try different lands, such as Hobbit Land and Mushroom Village, to spice things up. There's even a beautiful park just outside the zombie tower next to ace city. But don't fall into the pitfall of going too quickly without aiming. Where there's patience, there is success.
Let's cut to the chase... Feed It! is an amazing and addictive free game requiring a little strategy and good aiming. But it's a race against time as you chase the goal of filling the little dragon up. This may just be the best time you'll ever have. Will you get dragon mania?
Beautiful HD retina graphics for iphone and ipad. Get it, it's a smart choice.

- It's not easy being the Green Party in the state of Illinois
by John PrestaChicago City Hall Examiner
December 23, 2011Laurel Lambert Schmidt ran for Congress as a candidate for the Illinois Green Party (ILGP) in the 3rd Congressional district in 2010 and made a respectable showing, garnering 6% of the vote. Schmidt was excited at the chance to run again in 2012.
The Illinois Green Party (ILGP) is a so-called third party.Laurel Lambert Schmidt will be traveling to Springfield (Illinois) on Tuesday, December 27th to file her 1315 petitions that she and about a dozen volunteers collected in the 3rd Congressional District to run again in the 2012 election in the same district, now redrawn. She only needed 600 petitions to be placed on the ballot as a member of the ILGP.
However, The Illinois Board of Election (ISBE) will likely not accept her petitions as an Illinois Green Party candidate this time, because the IBSE no longer recognizes the ILGP as an "established political party." For Schmidt to gain ballot access for the 3rd Congressional district, she would now need 5000 signatures.
ISBE ruled that in this election year of 2012, ILGP is not an "established political party."
ILGP Chairman, Phil Huckleberry decided to file a lawsuit against the ISBE. Election Attorney Andrew Finko is handling the lawsuit on behalf of the ILGP. The lawsuit involves all other candidates that received at least 5% of the vote in other areas of Illinois. The initial lawsuit was filed in October and the case is about ballot access and the issue of an "established political party."
The Board's argument is that since the old districts no longer exist due to decennial redistricting, the 5 percent rule does not apply in the new districts.
"(Schmidt's) situation demonstrates the absurdity of the Board's position," said Phil Huckelberry, Illinois Green Party chairman.
As an established party candidate, Schmidt would need to submit a petition in December with valid signatures from 600 registered voters in the district, and would then be on the March primary ballot.
Non-established or "new" party candidates would have to file 5,000 signatures in June.
"The advantages for established party candidates are substantial, " said Huckelberry. "Forums and debates are often set up by June, and a number of organizations will have already issued endorsements based on who is already on the ballot."
The lawsuit filed by the ILGP is on behalf of candidate Laurel Lambert Schmidt for Congress in the 3rd Congressional District in 2010 against the ISBE. During that election Schmidt ran against Democratic Congressman Dan Lipinski (D-3) and Republican candidate Michael A. Bendas. The lawsuit also includes other Green party candidates that received at least 5% of the vote in their elections.
In Illinois, an "established political party" is defined as a party that receives at least 5% of the vote in the preceding election. So does the fact that a Congressional district is redrawn, does that change the words "preceding election." The ISBE has decided that the fact the districts were redrawn, it changes the criteria for an "established political party."
The ILGP had lost its first case in Cook County Circuit Court before Circuit Judge Edmund Ponce de Leon, who is also the Presiding Judge for the 4th Municipal District. The court cited the precedent of Vestrup v. DuPage County Election Commission, which was a 2002 case involving a Libertarian Party candidate.
The Illinois Green Party (ILGP) suffered another setback on Thursday in their bid to gain "ballot access" for several of its candidates statewide in Illinois. The First Judicial District Illinois Appellate Court (5th Division) ruled the Green Party cannot be on the March primary ballot in Illinois. The order to affirm an earlier lower court ruling was signed by Appellate Court Justices James R. Epstein, Joseph Gordon, Margaret Stanton McBride, and Nathaniel R. Howse Jr.
What is necessary for a party to be recognized as an "established political party." To be an "established political party" in Illinois, the party in question would have had to receive at least 5% of the vote in the last general election. Rich Whitney, who was the statewide candidate for governor in 2010, did not receive at least 5% of the vote. Had Whitney received 5% of the statewide vote in the 2010 election, the entire party would have been recognized statewide and there would be no issue or lawsuit.
The rationale the ISBE gave for that ruling is that the ILGP ceased to exist due to geographic boundary changes due to redistricting. That since the 3rd Congressional district (as an example) has changed, Laurel Lambert Schmidt, according to the court, did not receive 6% of the vote in the same district.
The question is why does redistricting negate the ILGP access to the ballot. The law is clear on what constitutes an "established political party."
Is it undue party influence over the judiciary at play here? Is it understood by the judges that this is the way you rule. ILGP Attorney Andrew Finko makes that convincing argument.
The ILGP asked for an expedited appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court. The First Judicial Circuit issued an order Thursday affriming Judge Ponce de Leon's ruling, but also allowing an accelerated appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court. The case will be appealed to the Illinois Supreme Court and ILGP attorney, Andrew Finko, assumes the court will hear the matter.
ILGP Attorney Finko does not feel that he can get a fair hearing on the matter here in Illinois. Finko says, "The case is very politically motivated, and indirectly raises the issue. Can a third party ever get a fair day in a bi-partisan court?"
Ironically, Andrew Finko quotes former Cook County Cicuit Court Clerk and currently an Applelate Court Judge, Aurelia Pucinski (who is a candidate for the Illinois Supreme Court), who "made the argument (unsuccessfully) to the Democratic slate makers that judges should not be affiliated with party, but independently nominated. I agree."
Andrew Finko is adamant about the cozy relationship between the court and the Democratic Party. "In Cook County, all the trial court and appellate court judges are Democrats and owe their jobs to the Democratic party that endorsed, promoted, and made it possible for them to be elected. Outsiders do not get elected to judge," said Finko.
He added, "Regardless of the appearances, they all have an inherent, non-waivable conflict of interest when presiding over political cases. Whether directly and/or indirectly, they all want to help their team and keep their good relations with the party that gave them their jobs."
He adds that the Vestrup v. DuPage County Election Commission was a DuPage County case and the judges there are Republican. Same rationale applies in DuPage County, he adds. Different parties, same self-interest.
But Andrew Finko is becoming disillusioned with the court system, especially when it comes to political cases. "They just rubber stamp the Establishment. "
The essential question that Andrew Finko asks is this. "How can a third party get any justice in a bi-partisan court." He adds, "Not in this country."

Ok here's the backstory.
#1 she is a NURSE, yet when I had my DD 3 years ago, she insisted on kissing her on the mouth. Even though I expressed many times that I did not want her to do that. I literally had to look away when she did it, because it bothered me so much. No one else saw a problem with it. But that's their opinion, it's my baby! I don't do it, I think it's kinda wierd, so why should she not respect my wishes with MY child, and Do something that i dont do myself. I told her over and over again not to do it. Also because of germs, she is around sick ppl for a living, she should know you can be carrying an illness before you show symptoms....why would you kiss a newborn on the mouth..duh. FYI my DD ended up with RSV....I am still holding a grudge because it could have come from her. Anyhow, it was a big ordeal with my daughter, and I am not putting up with that crap this time.
#2 she constantly undermines, and disrespects me. It is a well known fact that I like my personal space, and I do not like to be touched. She constantly insists on hugging me, kissing me on the cheek, touching my belly, and overall overstepping my boundaries. ON PURPOSE. She does the same with my daughter, then gets her feelings hurt when my daughter won't come near her.
She is the type that is me me me all the time, and has to have constant attention, at a very obnoxious level. I can't even describe it. I am so sick of it. I'm sick of her disrespecting me, and disrespecting my wishes in regards to my child. I called my husband at work and told him what I had transpired today. He thought what I said was appropriate, he is sick of her acting that way too. But she does it because she has gotten away with it for so long. the whole family just puts up with it, and coddles her in a way...i guess because its easier. its almost as if they don't notice how obnoxious, and sad it is, because they are so used to it. Anyhow, he said if she keeps on, tell her to call him, cause I don't need the stress...I already have high blood pressure. I love my husband, I hope she writes, or calls back, cause I think it's about time he deals with her. I'm tired of doing it honestly, and I don't think it is fully my place anyways. I do believe I should stick up for myself, but I think he needs to voice his opinion more. Usually I just take care of it...but I'm tired, I don't do drama...know what I mean?
But anyways, sorry about the rambling, long, run on mess that I just hurled out. I'm so agitated that she would even think about sending me a text scolding me for what I said. If you think I'm overreacting, sorry, but you have not met my SlL! I have had almost nine years of this...I'm DONE! Thanks for the vent ladies. I just had to get it out. Do y'all think what I said was rude, or offensive in any way? I mean at some point I have had ENOUGH! I think I handled it in a fair manner..... What would you do?
