7 Questions Time!
As required- my funny photo. This is pretty much how my hair always looks. haha! Ok. Not this bad, but ya.
1. What is your favorite App? (even if you don't have a smart phone I'm sure you've played around with someone else's)
Duh- Instagram! haha! Seriously though, I love it! Lets be instafriends! gentrilee is my username. :D
2. You have to come up with a book title on the spot- what is it? (don't think- just say!)
Happiness is Loud...
haha! Terrible title. But it's kind of from a line they say in "We Bought a Zoo" and that movie is still on my mind.
3. You are given the choice between laughing at everything- always, or never being able to laugh again. Which would you choose?
Oh goodness... I ask hard questions.
Um, Laughing at everything. I'd be annoying but I'd have killer abs, right? hahaha!
4. What natural disaster scares you the most? (tornado, hurricane, earthquake, flood, etc)
Earthquake probably. The others you can somewhat prepare for and have an idea when they will hit. Earthquake- no idea.
5. What time do you wake up each day? What time do you go to sleep?
My alarm is set for 6am I don't get up until 7. haha! I try to be in bed by 11pm but I usually don't go to sleep until midnight. No good... I should aim for 10pm.
6. (question courtesy of Katie) Who's your daddy, and what does he do?
My daddy is AMAZING! I'm not sure really what he does, something with construction... sort of. Anyways, he is the most hardworking, selfless man in the entire world. I hope I can be like him when I grow up. :)
7. What's the craziest dream you've ever had? (like an actual dream- while you were sleeping)
Oh my, to tell that would take forever and you would all think I was crazy. You see, I don't have just jumbled dreams. I have full on movies for dreams. haha! And... don't think I'm crazy, but a lot of them have to do with the end of the world. Maybe it's all the Dystopian novels I read? haha!
But here's a dream that's pretty funny and short:
Back when I was in high school I was on the dance team. We took it very seriously and my Jr. year we were state champions (woot woot!). One night before the state competition we had practice, but I had accidentally fallen asleep. I woke up because I dreamed that one of our rival school's dance team was standing over me laughing and taunting me because they were already at practice and I was late. hahaha! I seriously jumped out of bed and was at the school in less than ten minutes.
Can't wait to read your answers! If you don't do a post- at least answer some of them in your comment. :)

Some mothers who are trying to do it all are turning to pills to get through the day.
The Centers for Disease Control says deaths from prescription drug abuse have quadrupled since 1999. Now some moms are shopping doctors... looking for prescriptions.
Heather Moore juggles a lot: A three-year-old, a one-year-old, a full-time job, and a husband who's away in the Army.
Right after her first baby, she noticed she just couldn't keep up.
I felt like the worst mother ever, Moore said. I would get up, go somewhere, and I'd be like, 'Crap... I forgot a bottle.' 'I forgot the diaper bag.' I was like, 'What is wrong with me? Do other mothers do this?
Moore, like most moms, wants to give her children the best. For that she needed a change.
She wanted medication. She went to a doctor hoping to receive a prescription for Adderall.
I told him I had heard about Adderall... can I try it? It was that easy, she said.
Moore described symptoms of ADHD and passed a test proving otherwise she's drug-free as part of her diagnosis.
And now, after years of legal use, the change is drastic.
I am a supermom, that is all there is to it, she said. I am on my game for my kids.
Dr. Stephen Garrison with the Caron Texas drug and rehabilitation center who is not working with Moore said it only takes one month to become addicted to prescription pills. What follows is a lifetime of recovery.
He said doctors can be too quick to write prescriptions, and moms are shopping around until they get what they want.
They learn very quickly from people using; they share notes; they compare, figure out what works, and use it again and again, Dr. Garrison said.
A new database lets doctors search for all patient prescriptions to avoid repeats. But Dr. Garrison says that is often skipped, because it takes so much paperwork.
Taking drugs, he says, sets a new normal.
For Moore, that means only four hours of sleep a night... and then another pill.
I shake all the time; I can't sleep at night, she said. If I wasn't on it, I would be running around like a chicken with my head cut off.
Moore said her use is based on need, not recreational use, although the street value of her pills comes at $10 to $15 per tablet.
Adderall is a hot commodity around here, Moore said. I can't tell you how many moms I have had come up to me and say, 'Can I buy some Adderall off of you?'
And it's not just Adderall. Some mothers choose Xanax to take the edge off.
Once the stimulant wears off, they feel not normal and nervous, and they go use again, Dr. Garrison said.
I love it, Heather Moore said. I love the way it makes me feel. I have energy. I'm in a great mood all the time. I love it.
But Moore conceded that she is likely addicted to the medication.
It is something I could live without, but I don't want to.

Kent State Student Philanthropy Campaign Awards First ScholarshipPosted Jan. 31, 2011
Kent State's Campaign for Change, the university's student philanthropy initiative, celebrated a major milestone this month in awarding its first scholarship to Kenneth Smith, a junior aeronautical systems engineering major from Streetsboro, Ohio.
"I didn't think raising money from students to help other students would work," he says. "When I saw they had raised enough for a scholarship, I was impressed."
The committee similarly was impressed with Smith's application, which the group selected from the 168 that were submitted for the $1,250 scholarship. Of particular note to the group was his volunteer work with a local daycare, where he speaks about astronomy and teaches music to children.
'Kids aren't tainted by anything. "It's rare to see that, " Smith says. "I like working with them because of that."
Smith says the scholarship came at just the right time. For many students, financial burdens can force them to withdraw from classes, putting their academic dreams in jeopardy.
"I was actually thinking about taking a semester off because I didn't have enough money," he says. "When I read the e-mail saying I had received the scholarship, I was kind of like those people you see on YouTube acting crazy. It was like someone wanted me to go to school this semester."
Smith, who has one sister and three half-siblings, plans to be the first in his family to graduate from college. He hopes to parlay his degree into a career as an astronaut, calling himself a "big astronomy nerd."
"I know it's a crazy dream and people usually lose their dreams," he says. "But you have to aim big and shoot for the stars."
Since its launch in 2007, the Campaign for Change has raised more than $48,000 from students, parents, faculty and staff. Student gifts range from as little as $1 to as large as $200, raising a total of $2,000 from 365 students last fall. That marks a 124 percent increase in gifts and 57 percent increase in student participation since 2007.
In 2009, the fund reached the $25,000 threshold required to endow it, meaning Kent State students have left a legacy that will aid their peers, current and future, in perpetuity.
"We're fortunate to have students who care about one another and the legacy they leave at Kent State. Their goodwill is furthering our culture of philanthropy and exceeding even our greatest expectations," says Tiffany Schultz, associate director for annual giving. "The campaign has proven, time and again, that you should never underestimate the power of peers helping peers."

1.8 Egoism's plausibility
We began by reading about individuals who have spectacularly contributed to--or detracted from--their groups and labs. Obviously, these heros and heels live in communities. They don't pursue research in solitude and neither do we. We are supported by many, the sung and unsung heros of our professional lives. And others in turn depend on us. The work of inspirational figures matters to us because it raises us up, opens our horizons and helps us over hurdles on a path that can seem difficult and long. Heros take us beyond our narrow self-interests, reminding us that our own well-being depends on the well-being of others.
Despite the fact that you may be a newcomer to the scholarly community, you cannot choose to play a passive role. Those in your research group depend on you. They need your encouragement and enthusiasm, your watchful eye and constructive criticism.
The irreducibly communal nature of research points to a fundamental weakness in egoism. Egoism begins with my interests but also ends there. However, few of us think self-interest is the sum of ethics. Is egoism a plausible moral theory?

Comprehensive Written Information Security Plan ("WISP")
This document draws on the text of 201 CMR 17.00 and a guide developed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation.
(Version 220.127.116.11)
- I. Definitions
- II. Objective
- III. Purposes
- IV. Scope
- V. Commitment to Limited Collection of, and Access to, PIRN
- VI. Identified Locations of PIRN
- VII. Identified Potential Risks to PIRN Security
- Appendix A: Identified Locations of Personal Information Requiring Notification ("PIRN")
- Appendix B: Minimal Text to be included in Letter to Attorney General
- Appendix C: Minimal Text to be included in Letter to Affected Massachusetts Residents
I. Definitions
- WISP: The term "WISP" refers to Emerson College's Comprehensive Written Information Security Plan.
PIRN: The term "PIRN" shall mean "Personal Information Requiring Notification." PIRN is encompassing of any and all data regarding Massachusetts residents held by Emerson College, written or electronic, the improper disclosure of which would trigger written notification to both the Massachusetts Attorney General and the affected Massachusetts residents.
Emerson College follows the statutory definition of "personal information as it is used in 201 CMR 17.00. As such, PIRN means a Massachusetts resident's first name and last name, or first initial and last name in combination with any one or more of the following data elements which relate to such resident (a) Social Security Number, or truncated Social Security Number (b) Driver's License number or state-issued identification card number (c) financial account number, or credit or debit card number, with or without any required security code, access code, personal identification number ("PIN") or password that would permit access to a resident's financial account. PIRN does not include that information which is lawfully obtained from publicly available information, or from federal, state or local government records lawfully made available to the general public.
Breach: A "breach" shall mean the unauthorized acquisition or unauthorized use of either unencrypted PIRN or, encrypted electronic PIRN along with the confidential decryption process or key that is capable of compromising the security, confidentiality, or integrity of PIRN, maintained by the College, creating a substantial risk of identity theft or fraud against a resident of the Commonwealth.
A good faith but unauthorized acquisition of PIRN by a person, for the lawful purposes of such person, is not a breach unless the PIRN is used in an unauthorized manner or subject to further unauthorized disclosure.
A "breach" shall not include disclosure of PIRN which is legally accessible from an outside legitimate source, or where disclosure is required by court order or where necessary to comply with state or federal regulations.
- Data Custodian: A "Data Custodian" is a person or persons, in high-level management or their permitted and documented designee, who have been officially identified as responsible for the operation of a department within the College that requires access to PIRN. Assignment of a designee by a high-level manager, who is expressly or inherently entrusted with PIRN, does not relieve that manager of responsibilities regarding the PIRN.
Data Security Coordination Team: Emerson College has designated a team, led by the Vice President for Information Technology and consisting of the Director of Networking and Telecommunications, Director of Information Systems, Information Security Administrator, and the Data Custodians. This Data Security Coordination Team shall be responsible for:
- Initial implementation of the WISP;
- Ensuring that training of employees is taking place in a manner consistent with the requirements of the WISP;
- Appropriate testing and annual review of the WISP;
- Evaluating the ability of third-party vendors, contractors and service providers to protect the PIRN to which they have been granted access by Emerson College in a manner consistent with 201 CMR 17.00; and taking the steps reasonably necessary to ensure that such third-parties are applying protective security measures at least as stringent as those required to be applied to PIRN under 201 CMR 17.00.
II. Objective
Emerson College's objective in the development and implementation of this Written Information Security Plan is to ensure effective procedural, administrative, technological and physical safeguards for protecting the personal information of the residents of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and to ensure compliance with 201 CMR 17.00.
This WISP sets forth Emerson College's procedures for evaluating its electronic and physical methods of accessing, collecting, storing, using, transmitting, and protecting PIRN.
Emerson College has made the affirmative decision to identify what is and is not PIRN, and has declined the invitation to treat all records it maintains as PIRN.
III. Purposes
The purpose of the WISP is to:
- Safeguard the security and confidentiality of PIRN.
- Protect against any reasonably foreseeable threats or hazards to the security of PIRN.
- Protect against unauthorized access to, or use of PIRN in a manner that creates a substantial risk of identity theft or fraud.
Emerson College shall complete annual reviews of the WISP, and make adjustments, where necessary, to maintain compliance with 201 CMR 17.00.
IV. Scope
In formulating and implementing the WISP, Emerson College seeks to (1) identify reasonably foreseeable internal and external risks to the security and confidentiality of any electronic, paper, or other records containing PIRN; (2) assess the likelihood and potential damage from these threats; (3) evaluate the sufficiency of existing policies, procedures, information systems, and other safeguards in place to control risks consistent with the requirements of 201 CMR 17.00 and; (4) regularly monitor the effectiveness of those safeguards.
A copy of the WISP shall be distributed to each employee.
V. Commitment to Limited Collection of, and Access to, PIRN
Emerson College will collect, maintain and store only that PIRN which is reasonably necessary to accomplish the legitimate business purpose for which it is collected; limiting the time PIRN is retained to that reasonably necessary to accomplish such purpose; and limiting access to those persons who are reasonably required to have access to PIRN in order to accomplish such purpose or to comply with state or federal record retention requirements. All persons granted access to PIRN shall be informed of Emerson College's PIRN security plans, and shall be provided basic training for compliance with its requirements.
VI. Identified Locations of PIRN
Emerson College has identified specific electronic databases and servers, along with physical locations, where PIRN is known to exist. These locations, while not an exhaustive list, are enumerated in Appendix A. It is incumbent upon the Data Custodians in each department, to promulgate amongst their staff with PIRN access, any and all identified locations of PIRN they have access to, and the importance of preserving its confidential nature.
VII. Identified Potential Risks to PIRN Security
- Weak passwords used with accounts that have access to PIRN.
- Computers in publicly accessible areas that are not locked when an assigned employee with access to PIRN has temporarily stepped away from them.
- Insufficient physical security and controls which compromise access to workspaces and permit use of terminals, theft of equipment or access to paper files.
- Termination procedures that are not followed, resulting in continued access by former employees to PIRN.
- Employees transporting data on laptops, or on USB "thumb drives" and other types of removable media.
- Unencrypted connections to Emerson College data systems over which PIRN could be carried.
- Incomplete or ineffective training programs explaining to employees what PIRN is, and what the College's responsibilities are in its handling.
- Insufficient physical controls, resulting in access to PIRN by unauthorized persons.
- Malware (including, but not limited to spyware, viruses, worms and trojans), which could compromise the security and integrity of PIRN.
- Hacking, spoofing and other activities intended to compromise data security and access data and data systems without authorization.
- Social engineering and improper sharing of PIRN by employees with those not granted permissions to it.
- Lack of audit procedures.
- Insufficient separation of systems into particular subnets.
- Sending/Forwarding PIRN to non-Emerson email addresses, or off-campus data systems.
Sending paper-based PIRN through campus mail.
- Vendors of the College who have been granted access to PIRN.
- Data accessed through the improper disposal of electronic media (including hard drives from disposed computers) and paper files.
- Off-site storage of electronic and paper media.
- Hacking and other activities intended to compromise data security and access data and data systems without authorization.
- Consultants and contractors who are not properly vetted.
- Weak physical security at off-site locations.
Electronic Data Safeguards
- Identity Management: Emerson College will maintain a mechanism for managing computer accounts for active employees, and will have in place a mechanism for promptly disabling accounts of those individuals who are no longer employed and/or entrusted by the College.
Passwords: Emerson College requires passwords for accessing any system that may contain PIRN. Passwords must be at least eight characters in length, and contain at least three of the following: a numeric character; a special character; a lower case alpha character; and an upper case alpha character. Passwords must be changed at least once every 120 days. Emerson College's password history is four years, and passwords cannot be reused during this duration. Accounts shall be locked after excessive unsuccessful login attempts. Enforcement of the password policy shall be maintained through electronic means.
Vendor assigned and default passwords shall be changed reasonably promptly, but must be changed before the system accessed through said password contains any PIRN.
Access to PIRN shall be electronically limited to those employees with unique usernames. Access to PIRN shall be electronically limited to those employees with unique usernames. Usernames and passwords with access to PIRN shall not be shared amongst individuals.
- Timeouts: On a data system where a significant quantity of PIRN is stored, where it is practical, electronic timeouts shall be employed to screen-lock or timeout the user's session.
- Access to Computers: Access to computers shall be restricted to those for whom the access is necessary. Persons entrusted with access to PIRN from their accounts shall ensure that they lock their computer screens, their office doors, or both, so that unauthorized access to PIRN does not occur.
Data Security and Access Control Lists: Emerson College makes ongoing, self-audited efforts to ensure that only those persons, whose job descriptions and/or College-assigned objectives necessitate access to electronically stored PIRN will be granted such access. A Data Custodian must authorize, in writing, any permissions that grant electronic access to shared files and folders that are designated to contain PIRN.
For the purposes of this section, a job description, approved by the appropriate Data Custodian, that necessitates electronic access to share locations which are designated to contain PIRN, shall constitute written permission.
Network Design Considerations: Emerson College shall maintain its firewall and Intrusion Prevention Systems so that networks which contain data servers can be discrete from end-user systems.
- Firewall: A commercial-grade firewall shall be maintained at Emerson College protecting systems containing PIRN from both external and internal unauthorized access. The software running on the firewall shall be reasonably current.
IPS: a commercial-grade Intrusion Prevention System ("IPS") shall be employed to detect and prevent known attack signatures from traversing to portions of Emerson College's network. The IPS must have an available subscription service to keep its signatures current, and the College must maintain that subscription.
At a minimum, the IPS must have the capacity to monitor traffic between the major sections of the Emerson College data network including, but not limited to, Internal, Public, Students and DMZ.
- Data Encryption: Where electronic files containing PIRN must unavoidably be taken from a network drive and placed on portable media (including, but not limited to, a computer's internal hard drives, USB "thumb drives," externally connected drives and other removable media such as floppy disks), where it is practical, the files containing PIRN shall be encrypted in their entirety using encryption schemes that are commercially-accepted industry standards.
Encrypted Network Transmission: Where feasible, when PIRN is transmitted over a data network where data interception is reasonably foreseeable, PIRN will be encrypted using industry standard encryption algorithms.
Emerson College shall maintain SSL Certificates, managed by a trusted root host, which shall be used on web pages served by the College over which there exists the reasonably foreseeable possibility that PIRN may be accessed.
- VPN: Emerson College shall maintain a Virtual Private Network ("VPN"), which will necessarily be used to encrypt data connections to the College where there is a reasonably foreseeable possibility that PIRN will be carried over the connection and an SSL HTTP connection is not feasible.
Security Patches: There shall be reasonably up-to-date versions of virus/malware protective agents running on College-owned computers, which report back to a central server that is reviewed regularly for compliance with policy.
Reasonable means and methods shall be taken to ensure that security-related critical patches are applied to operating systems and application software.
- Central File Storage: The College shall maintain a file server of sufficient speed and storage capacity to hold any and all electronic documents that may contain PIRN. No PIRN should be stored on individual desktop computers, and PIRN shall not be placed on laptops or removable media absent notification to, and prior written consent from, the appropriate Data Custodian.
- Encrypted Backups: Wherever feasible, server backups shall be encrypted using an industry-accepted data encryption standard.
Employee Orientation, Ongoing Data Security Training and Acceptable Use: The College shall maintain a data security employee training program. A training program will be part of employee orientation, and employees whose positions at the College necessarily place them in contact with PIRN shall be provided additional training, within their departments, commensurate with the potential exposure.
The College will maintain an acceptable use policy with which all persons granted access to Emerson College's network will be required to comply.
Data Retention and Destruction
- Destruction of records will be done in a commercially acceptable manner so that PIRN cannot be practically read or reconstructed.
- Where the College contracts with a third-party data destruction company, the College shall obtain written assurances from the third-party that its disposal practices are in compliance with M.G.L. ch. 93I
Paper Based Data Safeguards
- File Cabinets: Where filing cabinets are to be used for the storage of PIRN, the filing cabinets are to remain locked unless the need to access the files within is imminent or current. Should removal of files containing PIRN from a filing cabinet be necessary, the files themselves must be protected against unauthorized access, and if the files will not be returned to the filing cabinet promptly, the filing cabinet shall be locked. Files must be returned to filing cabinets, which are then to be locked, no later than the end of the workday of the employee which removed them, unless their overnight storage outside their designated filing cabinet is approved, in writing, by the appropriate Data Custodian.
- Transport: All efforts will be made to minimize the physical transport of printed PIRN, substituting encrypted electronic data transport instead. Where printed PIRN must be transported, the carrier shall either be commercial and bonded, or a trained member of the Emerson College community.
Third Party Entrustment
- Emerson College shall take all reasonable steps to verify that any third-party vendor, contractor or service provider with access to PIRN maintained by the College has the capacity to protect such PIRN in the manner required by 201 CMR 17.00.
- Emerson College desires that all third-party vendors, contractors or service providers entrusted with PIRN complete, and submit to the College, a written manifestation of their current and ongoing compliance with the requirements of 201 CMR 17.00. Should the third-party not provide such documentation, or later withdraw their assent to the requirements, the College shall no longer provide any PIRN to said third-party and will take affirmative steps to ensure that previously entrusted PIRN is destroyed in a manner in-line with that which the College would use.
Termination of the Relationship that Requires Entrustment of PIRN
Employees may leave, be terminated, or switch roles within Emerson College. The relationship between Emerson College and third parties may change. Where the employee or third-party had access to specific PIRN and the changed relationship negates the need for access, Emerson College shall take specific affirmative steps to ensure that access to PIRN is withdrawn.
- All records containing PIRN, in any form, must be returned at the time of termination of the relationship. If return is not feasible, destruction in accordance with industry standards, along with proof of such destruction, is acceptable.
- At the time of termination of the relationship, all electronic and physical access to PIRN must immediately cease and be blocked. Former employees and third parties must return keys, IDs (if not required for other legitimate purposes), access control tokens and cards. Electronic locks access shall be disabled.
- Continued access to PIRN by former employees and third parties with whom the business relationship has been terminated must be expressly authorized, in writing, by the appropriate Data Custodian.
Disciplinary Actions for Violations of the WISP
Employees must comply with the requirements of the WISP. Use of PIRN in a manner not expressly or impliedly granted by the College is prohibited during, and subsequent to, employment at Emerson College. Disciplinary action for infractions of the WISP shall be mandatory, the severity of which shall be commensurate to the infraction and may depend on a number of factors, including but not limited to, the nature of the violation, the nature of the PIRN, and the extent of the unauthorized use, exposure, or disclosure.
Breach Procedures
Whenever there is a breach that requires notification under M.G.L. c. 93H § 3, the College shall take, at a minimum, the following steps:
- A letter shall be sent to the Massachusetts Attorney General, minimally putting forth the information in Appendix B. The letter shall include as an attachment a copy of Emerson College's WISP, but not including the WISP's appendices.
- A letter shall be sent to the affected Massachusetts residents notifying them of the breach and minimally including the information in Appendix C.
- An immediate mandatory post-incident review of events and actions taken, if any, with a view to determining whether any changes in the security practices are required to improve the security of PIRN.
- Disciplinary action shall be taken against the individual, or individuals, who caused, or contributed to, the breach.
Appendix A: Identified Locations of Personal Information Requiring Notification ("PIRN")
--Information available to authorized persons only.--
Appendix B: Minimal Text to be Included in Letter to Attorney General
Pursuant to M.G.L. c. 93H, we are writing to notify you of [a breach of security/an unauthorized access or use of personal information] involving [number] Massachusetts residents].
[This paragraph should provide the date of the incident, a summary of the nature of the incident, a description of the categories of personal information involved in the incident, and whether the personal information that was the subject of the incident was in electronic or paper form].
[This paragraph should specify the number of affected individuals residing in Massachusetts whose personal information was the subject of the incident. This paragraph should also indicate that these Massachusetts residents have received or will shortly receive notice pursuant to M.G.L. c. 93H, s. 3(b) and should specify the manner in which Massachusetts residents have or will receive such notice. We should also include a copy of the notice to affected Massachusetts residents in our notification to the Attorney General].
[This paragraph should outline all the steps we have taken or plan to take relating to the incident including, without limitation, what we did when we discovered the incident; whether we have reported the incident to law enforcement; whether we have any evidence that the personal information has been used for fraudulent purposes; whether we intend to offer credit morning services to consumers; and what measures we have taken to ensure that similar incidents do not occur in the future.]
[Finally, our letter should indicate whether we have provided similar notification to the Director of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation.

Appendix C: Minimal Text to be included in Letter to Affected Massachusetts Residents
Resident's Name
City, MA, Zip
We are writing to notify you that a [breach of security/unauthorized acquisition or use] of your personal information occurred on [date(s)].
Under Massachusetts law, you have the right to obtain any police report filed in regard to this incident. If you are the victim of identity theft, you also have the right to file a police report and obtain a copy of it.
Massachusetts law also allows consumers to place a security freeze on their credit reports. A security freeze prohibits a credit reporting agency from releasing any information from a consumer's credit report without written authorization. However, please be aware that placing a security freeze on your credit report may delay, interfere with, or prevent the timely approval of any requests you make for new loans, credit mortgages, employment, housing or other services.
If you have been a victim of identity theft, and you provide the credit reporting agency with a valid police report, it cannot charge you to place, lift or remove a security freeze. In all other cases, a credit reporting agency may charge you up to $5.00 each to place, temporarily lift, or permanently remove a security freeze.
To place a security freeze on your credit report, you must send a written request to each of the three major consumer reporting agencies: Equifax; Experian; and TransUnion by regular, certified or overnight mail at the addresses below:
- Equifax Security Freeze, P.O. Box 105788, Atlanta, GA 30348
- Experian Security Freeze, P.O. Box 9554, Allen, TX 75013
- Trans Union Security Freeze, Fraud Victim Assistance Department, P.O. Box 6790, Fullerton, CA 92834
In order to request a security freeze, you will need to provide the following information:
- Your full name (including middle initial as well as Jr., Sr., II, III, etc.)
- Social Security Number
- Date of birth
- If you have moved in the past five (5) years, provide the addresses where you have lived over the prior five years
- Proof of current address such as a current utility bill or telephone bill
- A legible photocopy of a government issued identification card (state driver's license or ID card, military identification, etc.)
- If you are a victim of identity theft, include a copy of either the police report, investigative report, or complaint to a law enforcement agency concerning identity theft
- If you are not a victim of identity theft, include payment by check, money order, or credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover only). Do not send cash through the mail.
The credit reporting agencies have three (3) business days after receiving your request to place a security freeze on your credit report. The credit bureaus must also send written confirmation to you within five (5) business days and provide you with a unique personal identification number (PIN) or password, or both that can be used by you to authorize the removal or lifting of the security freeze.
To lift the security freeze in order to allow a specific entity or individual access to your credit report, you must call or send a written request to the credit reporting agencies by mail and include proper identification (name, address, and Social Security number) and the PIN number or password provided to you when you placed the security freeze. as well as the identities of those entities or individuals you would like to receive your credit report or the specific period of time you want the credit report available. The credit reporting agencies have three (3) business days after receiving your request to lift the security freeze for those identified entities or for the specified period of time.
To remove the security freeze, you must send a written request to each of the three credit bureaus by mail and include proper identification (name, address, and Social Security number) and the PIN number or password provided to you when you placed the security freeze. The credit bureaus have three (3) business days after receiving your request to remove the security freeze.
If you should have any further questions, please contact [provide contact information].

Great news, animal advocates! Yesterday U.S. Reps. Tom Marino (R-PA), Jim McGovern (D-MA), John Campbell (R-CA) and Jim Moran (D-VA) reintroduced the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act, an ASPCA-supported bill to strengthen our federal laws against animal fighting.
While it's already a federal crime to actively participate in an animal fight, it's the spectators who drive the enterprise and make it profitable. This bill would make it a federal offense to attend an organized animal fight and impose additional penalties for bringing a child to a fight.
The Senate passed this bill in the previous Congress, but even with over half the House in support, Congress was unable to pass a final bill. Reintroducing this bill in the early days of the new Congress gives us an opportunity to build on the momentum from the last Congress and help finally close the federal loophole for animal fighting spectators.
Ask your own House representative to support this important humane legislation! Visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center right now to quickly email your U.S. rep in Washington and urge him or her to cosponsor the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act.
People should be penalize for allowing animals to fight--even the spectators.
we can't change evil, inhumane humans, but we can protect those whom they would abuse for their own sick/demented pleasures!!!
I'm against any kind of cruelty to any animal. Stop dog fighting and make it a bigger offense. It needs to stop!!
Animals are not meant to fight or be used as bait, they need a loving home and wonderful owners and they are set. Please stop this cruelty
Who's the REAL animal here.... help us to save them!
It is really sad to imagine anyone getting enjoyment from watching these animals fight and get hurt. It's just so sad and shows that our society is sick for wanting to witness something so horrific. These people should be locked up for 20 years to learn there lesson. And maybe while in jail we should require them to fight with whoever we lock them in a cell with while other inmates stand around cheering.
Its violence. Horrific bloody violence. Just stop it.

We need your help. Many of you already know that puppy mill dogs endure horrible lives of suffering and neglect. But because of a loophole in the Animal Welfare Act, puppy mills that sell puppies exclusively online operate without any federal regulation at all. Dogs are suffering, and it's time we put an end to the hidden inhumane treatment.
Please Help!
Right now we have a chance to help close this loophole forever. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is considering a rule that would regulate online puppy sellers, and we're fighting hard to make sure it's effective. But we need your help today!
Please tell the USDA to start licensing and inspecting puppy mills that sell dogs online. We have a limited time to fight for this rule.
You can also help by supporting our team's work to fight for stronger laws for animals across the country and our other life-saving efforts by making a small donation today.
This is so sad, to think of these poor little helpless animals being treated (actually mis-treated) in such horrific ways and conditions. So many of these babies never see daylight, feel the ground under their paws or even something so simple as a hug or luv! They are simplly "money machines" there for the purpose of making money! Most aren't even given medical treatment and are simply breed to death! These are loving, caring, feeling animals that want nothing more than to love and be loved. Don't you think it's about time we put the "human" back in "humanity"?
How can people be so cruel and heartless to something with a face like THAT?
adopt, don't shop! Hold puppy mill owners and operators accountable for their horrific treatment of these defenseless animals and put them out of business once and for all!!!
Please stop the torturing of animals. They do not deserve it.
I join the ASPCA in urging the USDA to make sure all puppy mills are regulated, and that legitimate rescues and shelters are not inadvertently impacted. It is our duty to protect those that cannot protect themselves. This includes ALL living things. I have loved animals, especially dogs since I was 2 years old. I am now 54 and knowing how these dogs suffer in puppy mills just makes me ill. Americans protect everything from trees to our freedom. PLEASE DO NOT FORGET TO PROTECT OUR DOGS. They have a right to live a free and loving life. This suffering must stop.
Please regulate the Puppy Mills. Give these animals a chance to feel loved and not just caged for breeding.
Please stop puppy mills and regulate the sale of dogs more strictly.
Please tie up all loose ends and loopholes. These are innocent animals that have nobody else to depend on but the kindness of the human heart! Just thinking about this makes me sick to my stomach!! Are this sick to keep letting this happen? Please reconsider!!
Stop this right now! How would you like to be locked in a cage with dozens of other dogs sitting in your own waste, death all around you????
Puppy mills are cruel! Please stop them for the sake of our animals! They don't deserve to be treated this way!

Customer Reviews:
Rated 1.3 out of 5�by 3 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5�by RT Disappointed.... When I first opened the box I was impressed with the quality of the item. It was also easy to use and set up. However I was disappointed with two things with this heart monitor. 1st. It was not accurate. I walked with my gps on my phone and the watch was over a half a mile off from what my gps said. Also the description said that it would sync with mapmyfitness but it did not. For those reasons I returned the item. The heart monitor also recorded how well you slept. I did wear it for a couple of nights but I found the heart monitor to bulky as I usually do not wear any jewelry to sleep. The information that I got the next morning did not really impress me much. Bottom line.....save your money and look for something else. September 17, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5�by disappointed Disappointed I haven't been able to use this fitness band because it doesn't have what I was really looking for so I basically spent over $100. for nothing. This band doesn't even have a light so if you run at dark or workout in a room that is poorly lit, you won't be able to see it. I am really disappointed with this fitness band!!!!! On the positive side, the young man at Dicks in San Antonio that helped me was GREAT!!!!!! February 11, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by Pete09 Sync Burn Fitness Band is not good It was recommended by the Dick's employee that it will do such a great job keeping track of my daily activities and will also upload to an APP so I can track it. It is not as easy to upload and it does not give you information like the Force Fit Bit did. Oh Well live and learn. September 2, 2014

I have always been hating on PR 1 million and Armani Black code but thats just me
This is a play on the other thread "Poorly reviewed fragrances that you like?" I'd like to hear which positively reviewed fragrances in the community that you absolutely dont like at all! (If you like them all, feel free to move on! )
For me, it's easy. Two stand out above the rest. Creed Aventus and Terre d'Hermes.
Aventus is putrid. Its like an overripe rotting pineapple with the most annoying smoky note that i've ever smelled. I bought a 10ml decant of one of the "good batches" and have wore it on 3 separate occasions. All 3 times I have regretted it hours later.
Terre D'Hermes smells like a hamster cage. I like cedar but there is just something off about this one. Pretty sure it's the ISO E Super.
Speaking of ISO E Super,... Dirty English is stomach turning. Wont even talk about that one anymore because I dont want to throw up.
I have always been hating on PR 1 million and Armani Black code but thats just me
Hands down it has to be:
Terre D' Hermes EDP
Just terrible stuff!
Never got on with Fahrenheit.
La Nuit and Terre DHermes. I don't dislike them, but I'm nuetral on them.
Most recent for me was Midnight in Paris EDP. My wife and I both agreed it was the worst fragrance ever on me. Just completely overpowering powder and rubber. I can handle powder, but oh man, that awful rubber note....it was just all-consuming and made my stomach turn. :-(
Dirty English, Sex Appeal, Nightflight, Obsession, Safari, Michael, L'Essence de Cerruti, Ikon, Eau de Cartier, Tomorrow, Black Suede Touch, The Dreamer, Citrus & Wood, Bogart pH, Bergamotto Marino, Everlast Original, ST Dupont pH.
Tauer's L'air du desert marocain. My skin pulled the amber and nothin' but the amber, and I was surrounded by a sickeningly oppressive cloud of AAMMMMBERRRRR!!! all day, with the promised "mysterious spices of the Orient" and "smoke on the desert wind" conspicuously absent. As my partner said, "What is that you're wearing? It smells like old ladies dipped in industrial waste."
I've also been pretty disappointed in most of the CdG I've tried, but maybe it was more exciting back when fragrance tech wasn't so universally used in everyday home products.
Escada Magnetism
Some Creeds, Penhaligons Hammam Bouquet, Dior Homme (though I enjoy DHI).
Terre d'Hermes -- I've worn it numerous times, but I'm just not a fan of its bathroom cleaner vibe.
Also, douchebag/air freshener scents, like La Nuit de L'Homme EDT and Aventus -- I've worn these two (even ordered a decant and an official sample) and have smelled them on other people, and they're just both terrible synthetic scents.
Almost everything by Bond No.9 just smells "off" to me, not sure what it is, but not a single one of their scents agrees with me.
Summer 2013 Top 10 :
1. Creed Aventus
2. Dior Homme Sport (2012)
3. L'Eau Bleue D'Issey
4. Bleu de Chanel
5. Acqua dio Gio Essenza
6. Strange Invisible Perfumes - Peloponnesian
7. Tom Ford Neroli Portofino
8. Diesel Green Masculine
9. Terre d'Hermes
10. Guerlain Homme
I'm neutral on LIDG but I've only worn it once.
For comparisons sake, take LIDGE and picture it as this well made pasta with sweet marinara sauce along with small diced tomatoes and exquisite parmesan cheese. LIDG is naked cold spaghetti to me. I'm going to give it a proper wear (four days in a row) next week though so hopefully I change my mind.

Guerlain Vetiver

Hmm. I've only sampled a few dozen and haven't really come across anything that's repulsive to me. But I'm not a fan of Ambre Precieux, La Nuit, Real Patchouly and Mona Di Orio's Vetyver and LDDM.
LDDM might be the only one that I actually really dislike.

Anything with a lot of oud or vetiver.
Current top 10 (No order):
1. Pure Havane
2. Menthe Fraiche
3. Tobacco Vanille
4. L'Air Du Desert Marocain
5. Green Irish Tweed
6. Fahrenheit
7. Musc Ravageur
8. Tonka Imperial
9. Gucci Pour Homme II
10. Dior Homme Intense
Another one I had forgotten about - I thought Chanel's Cuir de Russie was absolutely disgusting.
A great many of them. Though I wouldn't always go so far as to say I dislike them. Usually I just don't find them very exciting. The whole YSL l'homme thing, among many other BN fads make me go 'bwa?' when I smell the fragrance itself.
JUB XXV- only worn once, discovered I don't like frankincense
A few already mentioned that I don't actively dislike, but still leave me completely cold (La Nuit, Aventus, TDH). Not overly keen on Dior Homme. The only two that I have always found absolutely repugnant are Fahrenheit and Musc Ravageur.

There's a few that the enthusiasts seem to love ...
Terry 'ermies
Creed Greed Irish Tweed
Creed Aventus
Guerlain Vetiver
Spice Bomb
I really don't like any of them.
Aventus and TdH don't work for me either. I'd say those are my top two. Also:
Tobacco Vanille and Tuscan Leather: while I love many of Tom Ford's fragrances, these are both too literally realistic to me. I don't want to smell like pipe tobacco or a leather sofa.
And Ken: I was a little repulsed by Cuir de Russie the first couple of times I smelled it. I'm sure I even wrote here about the "dirty hair" smell. Now I can't get enough of it. Tastes change!
YSL Pour Homme Haute Concentration, extra powerful and sharpppppppp citrusy to me.
Joop! Homme really makes me mad!
One Million is just terrifying!
Dior Leather Oud. That stuff smells like s#!%. Seriously.
Terre d'Hermes
Encre Noire
Green Irish Tweed (can't say I really dislike this one, but *highly* overrated)
I greatly dislike Chergui. Not sure if it's the honey notes or what, but something about it reminded me of garbage.
Montale Black Aoud - can't take rose based fragrances. They smell like my grandma... literally, my grandma wore rose based fragrances.
Top notes of... sweat, gasoline, motor oil; a heart of deer musk and gunpowder, resting on a base of sex and testosterone... Mandom.
Aramis New West for Him, Caron L'Anarchiste, Gucci Envy for Men, and Versace Black Jeans come to mind. I think these are all pretty favorably reviewed.
DHI is not appealing to me
Many: Fahrenheit...Antaeus...Aventus...AdG...Guerlain's Vetiver...Knize Ten...
Most of these, I can at least see why others like them...they just didn't work for me.
"We don't fail because we aim too high and miss, but because we aim too low and hit" - Les Brown
"When you're all alone, when no one is watching, and there's no one around to impress, that is who you are" - Greg Laurie
A*Men and Le Male take top billing for me, although both are pretty polarizing. Don't think much of Acqua di Cuba by SMN (smells like stale spit to me), Amouage Gold Men, many Montales, nearly all Bond 9's, Aventus and Erolfa by Creed, Canali Men, and Frank No. 2 by Frank Los Angeles. Creed Green Irish Tweed and Cool Water fall into the overrated and overplayed pile for me.
A*Men Les Parfums de Cuir Thierry Mugler for men
Patent Leather, rubber, and something sweet that will not wash off even after 24 hours and two showers.
Pure Malt, Pure Havanne, Allure Homme Sport. Nothing worth bragging about in my opinion.
Egoiste has something in it I don't like. Don't get the hype.
Encre Noir by Lalique
Sycomore by Chanel
Allure Homme Sport by Chanel
The Dreamer by Versace
La Nuit de L'Homme by YSL
Fahrenheit by Christian Dior
Terre d'Hermes and Egoiste for sure.
Also Sycomore, Carnal Flower, L'instant De Guerlain Pour Homme Extreme, Ambre Sultan
Never understood these and I keep on sampling them.
I sometimes wonder if the popularity of some scents are due to the consequences of pluralistic ignorance.

Easy one...dhi. I'm convinced the idea behind that frag was conceived in a bar with 2 drunken businessmen who were having a bet on if they could create and produce the worlds ugliest feminine scent and sell it to men. Hats off to their clever marketing!
Musc Ravageur...smells like an old lady's ass powder and Nivea face cream. No thanks
1. Dior Homme Intense
2. Creed Aventus
3. Tom Ford Extreme
4. Gucci Pour Homme II
5. Terre d'Hermes
Ambre Sultan
Musc Ravageur

I suppose there's no real upside in being an online hater but, wth, since you asked, I find both Terre and Green Irish Tweed to be kind of massively disgusting.
The only one that comes to mind is La Nuit de L'Homme by YSL. Just far to sweet.
Now if we're talking about fragrances we don't really get why they are so highly rated, then the list will probably expand a bit.
Sycomore ... I had a head cold when I sampled it and I am certain it gave me a piercing headache. Which is strange because I get along well with Timbuktu.
Well there are many of those but to start with :
1. JPG Le Male
2. Cool Water
3. AdG
4. 1 Million
5. Aramis
There's something about Knize Ten that grates on my senses...industrial shoe polish?
Are you not entertained??? Is this not why you are here??
One of the top notes in Sycomore makes me very unhappy.
Something in YSL Rive Gauche pour Homme triggers my gag reflex. Seriously.
Grey flannel tops my list
Then ADG just because 3 of my coworkers bath in it everyday

8. Noir de Noir

10.Straight to Heaven
Aventus...it smells like my late beloved grandmother and her attic...!
Guerlain Habit Rouge - armpits and baby powder
Frédéric Malle Vetiver Extraordinaire - musty vegetation
Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male - plastic flowers in Lavender
4. Terre d'Hermes. Used to like it, but now it just smells . . . off . . . to me.
3. Invasion Barbare. Acrid and unpleasant.
2. Parfums de Nicolai New York. Turin be damned, powdery, smelly orange is not for me.
And the current (and forever) winner . . .
1. Creed Aventus. This scent utterly baffles me. I don't smell anything good in it, and no one around me, when I wore it a few times, liked it even a little bit. And it's not just a single bad batch; I've tried at least three separate batches.
Current Top Five:
1. Creed Green Irish Tweed
2. Tom Ford Neroli Portofino
3. Hermes Concentre d'Orange Verte
4. Bond No. 9 New Haarlem
5. Creed Original Vetiver
Ou yeah that 2, i cant stand Farenheit
Dirty English- the most disgusting fragrance I've smelled.
Antaeus - can't get into it,the opening notes are not on my taste.

Expungement of an eviction case may be addressed in Housing Court. The purpose of an expungement is to remove the record from public access. An expungement will not result in the destruction of the eviction record.
A tenant can seek to have an eviction expunged by two methods.
If an expungement is granted by the Court, the order is stayed for 60 days. This is to allow the opposing party to file an appeal of the Court's decision before the record is removed from public access. If an appeal is not made, the expungement order will automatically go into affect after the 60 day waiting period.
Once the expungement order goes into effect, the case will be removed from public access. The case may not be accessed by the public, including the plaintiff/landlord and defenant/tenant.

Okay, I did. 1st & 2nd round QBs from 2008 - 2011.
2011: Newton, Locker, Gabbert, Ponder, Dalton, Kaepernick. No real busts there.
2010: Bradford, The Golden Calf of Bristol and Clausen. 2 busts out of 3 players
2009: Stafford, Sanchez, Freeman, White. No real busts there, not even White can be considered because he hasn't played.
2008: Ryan, Flacco, Brohm, Henne. 1 bust (Brohm) of 4.
Total "bust" factor: 3 of 16 (18.75%)
Guess it all comes down to your definition of a "bust."
I also think it probably comes down to your definition of a "fan," also.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 07:08 PM
My point is that Clausen had a very productive college career. Drafting him late in the 2nd round was a value pick and was a smart pick. Now, I don't think anyone would have imaginged that he would be as bad as he has been. Many did not know whether he was a franchise guy, but most thought he woudl be a legit QB or very good back-up QB.
If we had taken him high in the first round, then bash Hurney. For taking a chance with huge upside late in the 2nd round, it was not a bad pick.
It just turned out that Clausen is very damaged goods.

I agree to a point MH, and I see where you're coming from. I can't remember ever being as angry about anything else the Panthers have done besides that pick.
I grew up in SoCal, know the school, know some people and was familiar with some of the circumstances surrounding his going to Notre Dame. I am very familiar with his background and watched him play most of his HS and college career... hoping all along that maybe someday he's just "get it."
I knew that night as I watched the draft unfold that Jimmy Clausen, if he continued to fall down the draft board, would be a Panther because they had no choice but to grab him if he was there. I was begging someone else to take him. The last thing I wanted was Jimmy Clausen putting on a Panther uni. I began ranting and railing against the pick the day after the draft and exactly what I thought would happen- did. I personally don't think Jimmy Clausen wants anything to do with being an NFL QB, but what else is there for a kid who was raised on football, groomed to be a QB by Daddy and knows nothing else?
Look where the Panthers are today. If they do not make an effort to re-sign Anderson, they will be forced to go out and find a QB...again... for the third time in 4 years. Think about it- having to go find a QB 3 years out of 4. That's a pretty strong indication there are problems at the position. The only thing worse than the 2010 draft (LaFell, Hardy) was the 2009 draft (Munnerlyn).

If Jimmy doesn't have what it takes to make it in the league why are we wasting a roster spot and dollars on him? Shouldn't we just cut him and move on?
Posted 24 January 2013 - 07:25 AM
Well, couple other issues come into play. First and foremost is the contract he's under:
7/28/2010: Signed a four-year, $6.3 million contract. The deal includes $2.533 million guaranteed and a fourth-year escalator that could boost Clausen's 2013 base salary to $2.85 million. Even if Clausen does not activate the escalator, his 2013 salary is fully guaranteed.
2013: $575,000
2014: Free Agent
The pickle the Panthers find themselves in is simple- they have to keep Jimmy for 2 reasons which I'm not sure they ever saw coming. First of which being they are in salary cap hell and cutting Clausen only adds to those woes, and I think that 4th year escalator may come into play as a cap issue should the Panthers decide to part ways.
The second part of that is Derek Anderson is a free agent and unless the Panthers make an effort to re-sign him, this will be the 3rd time in the last 4 years the Panthers are actively seeking a QB. They cut Clausen and let Anderson walk to Cleveland or somewhere else and the Panthers are having to come up with some cash they don't have to replace not one, but 2 QBs.
Bottom line- Clausen will finish out his contract through the 2013 season and will end up on a beach back in SoCal next year doing something outside of football.

The Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine continues its leadership in medical education as it welcomes over 500 first-year medical students to three campuses for the start of classes on July 26.
The Erie campus anticipates 267 new medical students in the Class of 2014 and an additional 112 in Greensburg, Pa., where LECOM at Seton Hill welcomes its second class of osteopathic medical students. LECOM's branch campus in Bradenton, FL begins its seventh year with the enrollment of 163 first-year medical students.
|Erie OMS1 students prepare for classes with registration on Saturday.
Offering the highest quality and most affordable medical education, LECOM continues to attract the best and the brightest students to its campuses. Out of nearly 9000 applicants, more than 2000 candidates visited the Erie and Bradenton campuses to interview for the more than 500 seats in the college of medicine. The combined enrollments of the three campuses have reached 1865 medical students and the College remains the largest medical school in the country.
According to college Provost, Senior Vice President and Dean of Academic Affairs Silvia Ferretti, DO, these new students are attracted by the college's student-centered programs, low tuition rates and exemplary board scores.
"We are delighted to welcome the Class of 2014," says LECOM Bradenton Associate Dean of Academic Affairs Robert George, D.O. "We continue to fill our classes with a high percentage of residents from Florida and Pennsylvania, which fulfills our mission to train and keep physicians in these states."
Click here for photos of the LECOM Bradenton Orientation
LECOM's School of Pharmacy, with campuses and Erie and Bradenton, begins orientation Aug. 12 and 16, respectively. Nearly 260 new pharmacy students will arrive at the two campuses. LECOM's School of Pharmacy in Bradenton will graduate its first class in June. While the school of pharmacy opened only seven years ago,
LECOM's students are above the national average in board scores, according to Hershey S. Bell, MD, MS, FAAFP, Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of the School of Pharmacy. The Dean expects that trend not only to continue, but to improve with each new class.
During the orientation weekend prior to the start of classes, students and their families at all three campuses are invited to participate in an Open House, where faculty, staff and current students will be available to answer questions and give students a tour of the building. New students will also attend a series of workshops to learn about campus policies, review the curriculum and meet the faculty, which includes the full-time basic science and clinical education faculty.
Second-year osteopathic medical students resume their studies on Aug. 2, while third-year and fourth-year students from Erie and Bradenton are continuing their clinical studies at rotation sites around the country. Classes resume for pharmacy students on August 16 in Erie and August 23 in Bradenton.
The Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine and LECOM School of Pharmacy offer innovative and affordable education in osteopathic medicine and pharmacy. From campuses in Erie, Pennsylvania, Greensburg, Pennsylvania and Bradenton, Florida, LECOM provides student-centered pathways to prepare the next generation of healthcare professionals. Prepare yourself for medicine as your life's profession.

The last several months have not been the best for our family, and sometimes, I have to search for something to hold on to keep myself from just crumbling.
But one of my friends said something to me the other day that has sort of stayed with me.
I had just said to her that I really missed the long sun-shiney days when I could work out in the yard until it was literally bedtime.
"As it is now, I have too much time to think between supper and bedtime," I said.
"Tell you what. I'll make a deal with you. Every night before you go to bed, sit down and write one thing – just one – that you are truly thankful for as far as that day is concerned. Big things, small things. No matter.
"And I'll do the same thing. We'll compare a few days from now."
Truth to tell, at the time I thought it was kind of silly, but she's a good friend, and I didn't want to say that right out loud.
This was on a Tuesday.
So Tuesday night while I was brushing my teeth for bed, I though Huh-oh! I didn't write anything down.
I took my yellow pad and sat down on the bed. Hmmm. Let's see.
While I'm sitting and thinking, it dawned on me that I had not got the mail in. As I'm making my way toward the front porch, I said right out loud, "I hope to goodness I didn't get any bills today."
The mail box was crammed full. I took it into the kitchen and turned on the light.
Well, "goodness" must have heard me. No bills. Just political ads and a couple of AARP ads.
I sort of laughed to myself. By golly, I've got something to write down for Tuesday.
Very carefully I wrote:
Tuesday: No bills … Can we count that as something to be thankful for? I think so!
Wednesday night, I was just dozing off when all at once I remembered that I had not taken my p.m. pills, very important p.m. pills.
I got up and poured myself some juice and took my pills.
Hmm. Wonder if that's something to be thankful for: that I remembered to take my pills?
I think so!
Thursday morning … I had already poured myself a cup of coffee when I remembered I had lab work, and was not supposed to eat or drink.
Is that too small a thing? Well, my friend said "big things or small things."
So, for Thursday, I remembered not to drink before lab.
Looking back at some of the things I'd been thankful for, I began to wonder if I was not dwelling on the small stuff.
Oh, well …
Friday. Friday's got a right much going for it anyway.
But toward evening, my sweet daughters called and said, "Supper will probably beat you home and the coffee will be hot and waiting for you."
Did I say dwelling on the small stuff?
Forgive me. My two daughters and their husbands and our grandchildren and precious friends are blessings beyond words.
So Friday night, I wrote in my yellow book.
"I do not have to look far to see that I am truly blessed, in little ways and big ways, every single day."
Let's count our blessings.
