And Bill how come you eat any of that cool French cooking? It could be worse. If you were in Scotland for example. (you wouldn't believe what they eat)
Actually Marc I enjoy many of your posts but I like to poke fun too. Sarcasm comes naturally to any New Yorker. (Just so you'll know if you grew up in N.Y.C. you remain a New Yorker forever no matter where you go).
BTW I hope you are enjoying your M400t's. I champion those little cubes, they just don't get the respect the others get and they are really cool amps.
I drove my ALS silvers with the bridged for awhile and they were great.
Anyway its all in fun (don't the rest of the Canadians hate the French/Quebec guys?
I can't believe all the shit I started with one little response.
BillD wrote:frankieD - I don't like Parisians - the French as a lot are OK. Toward the end of my career, a French company bought out the Honeywell computer business, and I ended up having to go to Paris at least 4 times a year for two weeks at a time the last 5 years of my career (it was one of the reasons I retired early). To me Paris is just like Pittsburgh with better food. The Parisians are a rude lot - a lot like New York City-ites. Nevertheless, I needed to speak a little French (and read a lot more) to get around the city via the various train lines (metro, RER, SNCF, etc.). The food IS good, though.
And, being a Scot, I know about haggis. Only lots of whiskey would make one eat that.
But my favorite story about Paris is their troubles with EuroDisney. It seems that they had to stop the fireworks display at the park closings every night because every time they did one, the east side of Paris surrendered.

If you consider yourself a "bodyman," some things just stand out on a car more than others. Call it a "pet peeve" or whatever you want, there is no denying the fact that when the fenders don't line up with the hood and doors (or visa versa), the entire car can appear out of shape. It's usually very frustrating (and a lot of work) to get a perfect gap between two body panels that have been smashed and reworked. If you have played with more than one car of the same body style, you may also have noticed that many components (especially body parts) have a tendency to bolt on in slightly different positions.
Even a very small variance between mounting hole placement can throw off the entire alignment of a particular panel. All of this can-and usually does-equate to spending countless hours fitting then refitting, turning round holes into slotted ones, turning washers into shims, and so on and so forth. All of this type of trial and error is necessary before any paint is applied in order to achieve that show-quality fit and finish.
It may be deceiving in the photos, but our '67 Chevelle wagon has had some serious run-ins in its life, giving us reason to replace the fender and hood. It also gives us a chance to join a mix of aftermarket sheetmetal, some clean junkyard parts, and the factory originals, to see just how well they all fit together. Even though the adjusting points for body panels vary in different ways (between makes and models), the tools, hardware, and reasoning will apply to all other body types, as well. This is a project almost anyone can tackle with basic hand tools and a slight dose of patience. (Note: It would also be helpful if you could grow a third hand or find a friend with at least one good one.)
On our donor car the front passenger fender and hood have both seen more than a few body shops, so we started off by replacing them with parts from The Paddock. With its guaranty of satisfaction and reputation for making quality replacement parts, The Paddock was up to being put to the test. The Paddock also supplied us with a new grille and splash pan to round out the fresh new front end. The only part that could not be replaced new was the front bumper. However, even as bent-up as this bumper was, any reputable chrome shop can massage the heavy metal back into perfect shape. Nevertheless, we found a super-straight front bumper in a local wrecking yard for the "right price," so we chose to simply replace it. The only items left to gather for this job were body shims and whatever necessary nuts, bolts, and washers were needed to bolt the new front end together.
We found a good assortment of body shims at the local parts store with Totally Stainless supplying a complete full-body hardware kit. Not only were we able to gather up have every nut, bolt, screw, and washer needed to put the entire car together, but it's all beautiful stainless steel. Now that we have collected all the necessary parts, let's take a look at what it takes for everything to bolt in and line up.
Here is one last look at our wagon's assembled and aligned front end. There is a pinch of rust to deal with and some shoddy bodywork to redo, but overall this is a great start on the way to a beautiful paint job. We're thinking black.

Del Mar Fairgrounds' gun shows will continue
Fair Board President says gun shows will continue
DEL MAR — The Del Mar Fairgrounds drew fire Tuesday from several residents who want the venue to cancel gun shows, but the critics were outnumbered by supporters and did not sway the fair board.
The gun show debate — spurred in part by last month's deadly school shooting in Newtown, Conn. — wasn't on the agenda for Tuesday's meeting of the 22nd Agricultural District, but that didn't stop speakers from lobbying the board during the public comment portion of the meeting.
Ultimately, board President Adam Day said the shows would continue unless another member of the board wanted to revisit things.
"At this point we plan on continuing the rest of the shows," he said.
The fairgrounds' gun shows were thrust into the local spotlight by Rosanne Holiday, a 73-year-old Del Mar resident who said she was determined to take action in the wake of the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School that left 26 people dead, mostly young children.
Holliday recently posted a sign in front of her home that read "Stop Del Mar Gun Show and Sale."
On Tuesday she told the fair board that more than 750 people had signed a petition on Change.org protesting gun shows held at the fair.
"As a mother of two and grandmother of three, and teacher of thousands of students in my 27-years as a parent, educator and professor of child development, I stand here to urge you to stop the gun shows on this land," she said.
Holliday said the cause will not be deterred by Day's comments.
"We're going to continue to collect support for this issue," Holliday said. "We've just started with the petition."
A number of other speakers urged the fairboard to continue the gun show practice, including Sen. Joel Anderson, R-San Diego. Proponents cited everything from constitutional freedoms to the economic benefit guns shows have on surrounding communities.
"Gun show patrons... spend hundreds of thousands of dollars here, directly here," said Marc Halcon, owner of American Shooting Center in San Diego. "Let's use some common sense here. There's an old phrase I like to use. 'It's not the money, it's the money.' Let's see what kind of fiscal impact you'll have if you discontinue these shows."
The Del Mar Fairgrounds has had a contract with gun show organizer Crossroads of the West for 22 years. The company hosts five guns shows a year, creating a net profit of $324,000 for the fairgrounds. Day said around 10,000 people attend the events.
Bob Templeton, president of Crossroads, was one of Tuesday's speakers.
"This isn't a celebration of gun culture and violence," Templeton said in a separate interview. "This is the gathering of people who are legally and lawfully exercising their second amendment rights."
Templeton stressed that many proposed gun regulations being discussed on the national stage are already in effect in California and apply to all gun shows at the fairgrounds.
Crossroads' gun show attendees cannot buy assault weapons, one of the most contentious topics since December's shooting. They also cannot buy high capacity magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. All gun purchasers must undergo a background check and still have to wait t10 days before bringing a weapon home, Templeton said.

He gave me a shot of cortisone, which I hope will help--especially since he told me that the recovery time for surgery to repair that injury is terribly long--at least a year.
And we still don't know anything about when Tony will be able to come--certainly not in November. Fingers crossed for Christmas, but I am doubtful right now. Thank heavens for Skype--but it's not the same.

As discussed at length in our December '05 issue, the '96 Grand Sport was a unique Corvette. Externally, the GS paid reverence to the Grand Sports from 1963. The car bore an Admiral Blue paint job with a wide white stripe covering the middle of the hood, roof, and rear portion of the body and included a pair of red hash marks placed over the left front fender. Red was used on the '96 GS as a styling cue to tie the two generations together. Unique Grand Sport badging was placed on each side of the hood above the side-fender vents, and a unique chrome-plated Corvette emblem was placed on the nose and gas lid. Interior color choices for the Grand Sport were limited to all black or a unique Torch Red and black combination, with red seats and trim and black carpeting with the Grand Sport name embroidered on the seat headrests.
All Grand Sport coupes used ZR-1-style, five-spoke rims with 275/40ZR17 rubber on the front and 315/35ZR17 on the rear. With all this rubber on the car, GM had to find a way to legally get the tires inside the wheelwells, so they decided to use an offset wheel and European flares already in the GM parts bin. The GS convertibles did not receive the fender flares and wider tires of the coupes. The wider tire/rim combination would not fit in a convertible (as a flat tire), so the convertibles were equipped with 255/45ZR17s in front and 285/45ZR17s out back to solve that problem.
From the beginning of the '96 GS project, everyone involved in the development of the car agreed the main ingredient should be about performance. To give the GS a unique engine of its own, the final solution was to redesign the current LT1 and offer it as a manual-transmission-only powerplant in all C4s, with the final engine named the LT4. This engine would come as standard equipment in all Grand Sports.
Beginning with the LT1 foundation, Chevrolet then added larger high-performance aluminum cylinder heads, a bigger camshaft, bigger valves, a higher 10.8:1 compression ratio, roller rocker arms, and new fuel injectors. These changes resulted in 330 hp at 5,800 rpm. Red spark-plug wires, a red intake manifold, and red "Corvette" and "Grand Sport" lettering on the manifold and throttle-body cover completed the special engine.
The LPE 383 conversion consisted of a LPE custom block preparation, a Lunati custom forged-steel stroker crank, Oliver billet rods, custom 10.8:1 forged aluminum pistons, and an LPE hydraulic roller cam. LPE also performed a CNC three-angle valve job on the stock GM heads, while new 2.00/1.56-inch LPE stainless valves were installed along with LPE double springs and titanium retainers. Comp Cams 1.6:1 S/S full roller rocker arms capped off the valvetrain. LPE/Hooker 131/44-inch shorty headers were installed to get the gases back to the CORSA exhaust system. A custom LPE 58mm high-flow billet throttle body topped off the mill. The modifications performed at Lingenfelter turned the already stout 330-horse 350 into a fire-breathing 450-horse 383ci supercar.
The Grand Sport was Dick's daily driver for eight months out of the year and is capable of adjusting anyone's blood pressure and heart rate quite quickly. Over the years, he made his annual pilgrimage to Corvettes at Carlisle; in 2000, the '96 was selected from more than 2,000 cars in the Corvette fun display to receive a Celebrity Pick award.

An Elegant Elie Saab Wedding Dress
When it came to finding the perfect dress, Maia needed little help: "I fell in love with my Elie Saab gown early on — I even went back to try it on three times, and I cried every visit!" But accessorizing the frothy lace and tulle dress was another story — in the end, her look was a family affair. Her "something blue" ring was once her grandmother's, her diamond necklace was a wedding gift from James, her in-laws gave her vintage earrings, and her mother-in-law had her hairpiece made from an antique brooch.
How are you accessorizing your look? Tell us here!

First of all, who ever you are, there was alot more that happened on that track than you obviously are capable of putting together. I had been hit by that car 6 friggin times, twice while lining up under caution, and I dont mean an accidental tap. Once coming out of turn 4 so hard it lifted the back of my car up and that was nothing more than an attempt to spin me out. I have raced for 4 years and been blacked flagged 2 times. Both with the same driver, and both for someone trying the same stupid krap. Had he been black flagged or put to the back for rough drivin like he deserved, and like anyone else would have been, that never would have happened. But, of course it didn't. Since this is your first year racing, I will offer you the opportunity and see if you still feel that way after a full season of racing. As far as "You taking me out in the first lap", this can apply to you just like him. He told me at my car "Thats ok, you'll have one next week", and if that is how its gonna be, thats fine with me. Get your ass a bunch of parts cars, cause your gonna need'em. Or you can come out there and race, and drive like a normal human being and not some jack ass, who thinks he is above the rules, and you'll do just fine. By doing that you will never have any problems with me, you'll have someone to help you if you need it. You know like people are supposed to act. I don't like having trouble with people, and dont like trouble on a track, but I AM NOT GONNA HAVE MY CAR BEAT ON CAUSE SOMEONE THINKS THEY ARE GONNA GET AWAY WITH IT. Your car is gonna get hit, your gonna get bumped, and yes your gonna be in wrecks that weren't your fault, but not beat on constantly cause someone wants you to check up and let them have your line. Give it time and you will see what I am talking about.
The only thing that I can promise you is Glen is not gonna put up with a bunch of wild ass behavior on that track. I haven't had my full length conversation with him yet, but I know him well enough to know that he is going to make sure to have one with me before I race again. Whatever, the case maybe, hard feelings and all we are out there to race for about enough money to pay for our trouble and maybe a part if you manage to win first place and that is all its for. The last time I looked in the stands there weren't any NASCAR scouts over there looking through the Pure Stock class for future drivers. It's just for fun, try to remember that.........
One more thing, just for the record, I wasnt proud nor happy about what happened the other nite, but if the hitting and beating hadn't started that type reaction would have never even crossed my mind.....

You know Haulas I try to tell my drivers if you think some one is going to take you out to come and tell me BEFORE the race and I will watch. You don't have an incident and then say he told me he was going to do that. I don't know the corner people out there but there has to be one you can talk to if you have a problem. I bet they watch you and the other guy this week what do you bet. Buster Deen

Thanks Bigdog, thats what I will do from now on. GFI17ps, I guess this is the way to handle it. So, with you being a new driver, read both of these guys advice because they are right. But, pay attention to mine also, because sooner or later, both of them are going to fit into a situation in or around you...if you watch the cars ahead of you, along with the track you will be able to see stuff like that developing,,just some friendly advice,, so when it does,,lay back a little till its all they are paying attention to and then you can pass both of em..pay attention to the line up board on a feature, look where certain drivers are so yo will know where to watch for certain cars,,if some are behind you then you know their going to be coming sooner or later.,,just some friendly advice....,,,,So Bigdog, did you end up with one of those SS monte carlos??

So i guess its tracy's fault for hitting the 5 and my fault for hitting tracy. I was watching the track and the cars. By the time tracy spun i was right there on his door and could do nothing. I do have fun doing this and will continue to have fun doing it despite what happened. Also the 83 gave me more than a few taps during the race but i didnt dump him for it. Its ok though, i'm not upset anymore, just wanted to give my opinion since nobody was around after the accident. I'll be beack out there after i bend the frame back to normal.
Dont know what the whole NASCAR scouts comment was about, I have fun doing this, not looking to impress anybody

I drive the 83 and if I gave you any taps it was not on purpose.I know I did tap a black car and I thought I apoligized to the right person.I am not a rough driver,I don't want to have to do any extra work on my car no more then anybody else.Again if I tapped you it was not intentional. Thanks,Huff

Well, let's see, we can start with the 83 car. I have raced behind, infront of, beside that car and never touched or rubbed whatever you want to call it. He drives clean and has since he started as far as I know. So, if he bumped you call it racing, Like he stated, he found someone who he thought was the right one and apologized. As far as not being able to find someone, I stoud on the ramp of the bleachers in plain sight of everyone so I would be easy to find in the event someone had some idea they wanted to go over with me. Now,on to something else, I dont think you meant when you wrote it...The idea about "taking me out" I am sure you meant the flagman RIGHT,,Let me share something with you since you havent raced that much......and didnt see it,,,,I gave my line up to someone one night to let them by me, and that wasnt enough for them,they wanted more room,it ended up with me hitting one of those infield tires and rolling my car several times, and tearing the hell out of it, with advice from some EXPERIENCED racers, I realzied that was a bad idea. I dont do that anymore,NEVER,,,,this doesnt mean tear the hell out of someone when they try, it just means if you can pass,or out drive me, or take advantage of my mistakes (and I make them)then keep your ass back where you belong, one more thing on the black flag krap,,, I have never been sent to the rear for rough driving either..Most of those drivers(including me) have raced each other for years,, and know each other well..would do anything to help the other one get their car out their to race..even in a feature that they know they probably wont be able to beat him in,,,.and yeah, that goes for me and Eddie too....so don't be mislead.,,,I looked at your point scores, you have only raced maybe 2 times at Motoramma,,dont take what happened as a normal event, cause it aint..If you need help those other drivers will help you, including me...all you gotta do is ask,,,,.......Ok, this is getiing old,my fingers are tired and I think my dog needs to take a dump she keeps going in a circle like she is leading a feature..but, I know it aint so cause she aint hit the couch yet///////////.

These boots are amazing
Overall Product Rating (5 out of 5)
10/04/2014 By Anonymous
Most Helpful Positive Review
Buy two pairs. I haven't taken these off since I took them out of the box. The most comfortable shoes to wear, and I have wide feet. They don't rub, pinch, squeeze or slip. The elasticated laces do come undone often, so I have tied them extra tight and cut off the excess - more of a personal preference than a product issue I'd say. These boots have literally made other women do a double take in the street, and I've received so many compliments from them. Smug smug smug.
How do you most use this product?: With jeans, with work trousers, with dresses (with nothing much at all!)

Well-baby exams are an important way to monitor your baby's growth and development. Regular checkups also provide an opportunity to develop a relationship with your baby's doctor.
Your baby's doctor will likely recommend the first well-baby exam within three to five days after birth, or shortly after you're discharged from the hospital — and additional well-baby exams every two to four months for the first year. Here's what's on the agenda during these exams.
A well-baby exam usually begins with measurements of your baby's length, weight and head circumference. You'll need to undress your baby, so keep a blanket handy.
The measurements will be plotted on a growth chart. You'll see how your baby's size compares with that of other babies the same age — but don't fixate on the percentages. A baby who's in the 95th percentile for height and weight isn't necessarily healthier than a baby who's in the 5th percentile. What's more important is steady growth from one visit to the next.
Expect a thorough physical exam during the checkup. Mention any concerns you have or areas you want the doctor to check out. Here are the basics:
Your baby's motor skills and development are important, too. Depending on your baby's age, be prepared to answer questions like these:
Your baby will need various vaccines at well-baby visits.
During each injection, swaddle your baby or hold him or her close. Softly sing a familiar song or whisper reassuring words. Offer a pacifier, blanket or other comfort object. Your presence and calm reassurance can help your baby feel secure.
You might also talk with the doctor ahead of time about numbing creams for your baby's skin or other ways to decrease the pain of injections.
Unless your baby has special needs or concerns, lab tests aren't needed at most well-baby exams.
During the appointment, your baby's doctor will likely ask how things are going. Be ready to describe a typical day with your baby. For example:
In addition, your baby's doctor might ask questions about your family's home life and medical history.
The doctor might also discuss safety issues, such as placing your baby to sleep on his or her back and using a rear-facing infant car seat. As your baby becomes more mobile, the doctor might give you tips for childproofing your home.
Although breast milk or formula will be the main part of your baby's diet throughout the first year, you'll also talk about when to introduce solid foods.
Undoubtedly, you'll have questions, too. Ask away! Nothing is too trivial when it comes to caring for your baby.
Also remember your own health. If you're feeling depressed, stressed out or rundown, describe what's happening. Your baby's doctor is there to help you, too.
Make sure you know when to schedule your baby's next appointment — and how to reach the doctor in the meantime. Ask if the doctor's office or clinic offers a 24-hour nurse information service. Knowing help is available when you need it can offer peace of mind.

School of Natural Sciences
The School of Natural Sciences at St. Edward's University encompasses traditional natural sciences (biology, chemistry, biochemistry), computational sciences (mathematics and computer science), clinical laboratory science and bioinformatics, an interdisciplinary research area at the intersection of biology, mathematics and computer science.
Each program provides sound preparation for graduate and professional schools and a variety of careers — among today's most high-demand fields. While each discipline has its own faculty, space and resources, all create an environment for excellence and share a common approach that draws upon these advantages:
- Small classes, taught by teachers who take an active role in preparing students for the challenges and opportunities of a global workplace.
- Approachable faculty members, whose top priority is ensuring you benefit from a personalized learning experience.
- Student-faculty research — conducted in on-campus science and computer labs and in the field — challenges you to create and present original work alongside mentor faculty.
- Cross training that shows you how to synthesize information and articulate arguments across the sciences, humanities and arts — valuable, well-rounded skills for scientific collaboration in graduate school or the workplace.
Dean's Message
Dear Future Natural Sciences Students:
Welcome to the School of Natural Sciences at St. Edward's University, where our students pursue knowledge through the lens of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines in state-of-the-art, inspirational facilities via 21st Century methodology, all while immersed in the thriving and proud community that is Austin, Texas.
Whether your motivation stems from programming an innovative new app, pushing the frontiers of biochemical research, engaging in the health professions or protecting and exploring an environmental oasis, St. Edward's School of Natural Sciences enables you to pursue your passion.
Within the last decade, the School of Natural Sciences has brought more than 110,000 square feet of instructional and laboratory space online at its beautiful hilltop location just south of downtown Austin on South Congress Avenue.
St. Edward's also operates the Wild Basin Creative Research Center and recently began managing the 227-acre Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve, a short 20-minute drive from campus. Faculty, staff, volunteers and the public have direct access to Wild Basin, a small piece of and gateway to the 30,000+ acre Balcones Canyonlands Preserve.
If you are looking to pursue science in the welcoming atmosphere of a smaller, undergraduate-focused institution, our unique resources will provide you with abundant and amazing opportunities.
Our faculty pride themselves on developing engaging classroom experiences, meaningful experiential learning opportunities and outstanding mentoring relationships. You will develop skills that will not only allow you to succeed in STEM careers, but to live a purposeful and fulfilling life: ethical and critical thinking, effective communication in multiple media, complex problem solving and a dedication to serving society.
Your educational experience at St. Edward's culminates in the Senior Seminar, an option during your final year in which you design and execute your own project. At the end of the course, you present your work in a public forum to the faculty, your fellow students and interested members of the community, leveraging and synthesizing the knowledge you have gained during your time at St. Edward's. Many of our students also present their work at local, regional and national conferences, often winning awards recognizing the quality of their research projects.
Are you looking to push personal frontiers and partner with our faculty in doing the same? Do you hunger for the opportunity to do hands-on science of your own design as an undergraduate? Do you aspire to lead an impactful life that culminates in a better world? Join us at St. Edward's, where we will empower you to realize your best self.

Emblem of the Leopard Spirit Society (Nkpa)
An nkpa is an emblem associated with a particular level of the Ngbe, a major men's society that regulates social behavior among the Ejagham and Banyang people of the Cross Rivers area.
A drum membrane (missing here) occupies the center of an nkpa; drums symbolize the society's legislative authority. The emblem is constructed of a palm-leaf mat with attached items such as a ceremonial broom, used to sweep away hostile "medicine," loops of cordage that are signs barring entry to the sacred house, and a batonlike staff. Emblems are adorned with the skulls and horns of animals consumed at the feast held at the society's founding.

- Catalogue Description: The basic structure of this dense and compact emblem, or nkpa, consists of a palm leaf mat woven in the form of a grid, roughly a square, with a fringe of palm fiber, perpendicular to the edges and projecting about 9 in. Onto grid, various fiber, skeletal, and manufactured objects are attached. These include 14 skulls: most appear to be from apes or monkeys; two appear to be from birds of prey; one large one at top of center appears to be from an ox, cow, or horse. Below large skull is tube of wood with hide adhered to it; around it is nestlike ring of root(?) fibers. The smallest skull, which is fragmentary, is attached to two large claws that are wrapped with fiber borders. Also attached are 3 wood clubs: one is long, the height of the proper right side; one is short in proper left corner; one, which may be a tool, is short and at bottom central edge. Inserted at lower proper left corner is folded section of heavily plied and twisted cord. There is an iron knife with painted blade and carved wood handle. Two long bundles of reeds are tied to form an X; two thorned branches are tied to form an X. Condition: An inherently fragile piece that should not be considered for an outward loan. The center was occupied by a membrane drum, the head of which is missing. Paint on iron blade is flaking and powdery. Object always needs to be stored flat in a customized box. For display, a vitrined case with light levels not to exceed 10 footcandles is recommended to protect organic components. Previous owner attached piece to black painted board with cleat for hanging.

Meanwhile, cut pastry in half lengthwise, then roll out each piece into an 11-by 7-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin. Arrange pastry rectangles side by side on an ungreased large baking sheet.
Make a 1/2-inch border around each pastry rectangle by lightly scoring a line parallel to each edge (do not cut all the way through). Prick pastry inside border all over with a fork.
Strain rhubarb mixture through a sieve set over a bowl, reserving liquid. Top 1 pastry rectangle (within border) with half of rhubarb, overlapping slices slightly. Repeat with remaining pastry and rhubarb.
Bake until pastry is puffed and golden (underside of pastry should also be golden), about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, boil reserved rhubarb liquid in a small saucepan, skimming foam if necessary, until reduced to about 1/4 cup, 15 to 18 minutes.
Transfer tarts to a rack. Brush rhubarb and pastry with glaze and sprinkle with zest.

Jillian Elizabeth Benson (24) marries Jeremy Malcolm Danvers (26) on July 5th, 2017, in Boston, Massachusetts. After a two-week honeymoon in Scotland, they settle down into the brownstone that was once Jeremy's bachelor pad.
2018: Jillian and Jeremy planned to wait two years before trying for a baby, but Jillian gives Jeremy a delightful, unexpected surprise on Easter Sunday 2018: a positive pregnancy test inside a large egg! On January 2nd, 2019, they have boy/girl twins named Holden Seth Danvers and Phoebe Rose Danvers.
2019: For her birthday, Jillian's best friends take her to get a tattoo. She gets a tattoo of a purple and blue butterfly on her left shoulder with the words "hope" and "freedom" written on its wings.
2020: Now that the twins are two, the Danvers decide to TTC for another baby. After only three months of trying, they get pregnant! On November 27th, 2020, Celia Juliet Danvers is born.
2021: The brownstone in Boston the Danvers have lived in for six years suddenly feels cramped with three small children. But the Danvers love Boston and wish to continue to raise their children in such a great city. By the end of the summer, they have found a house in a popular family-friendly neighborhood in Boston that looks like this: http://www.shutterstock.com/cat.mhtm...rm#id=73960048
2022: Because they wanted three or four kids, Jillian and Jeremy decide to try for one more baby, to make their family complete. This time, TTC takes a little longer, but on Thanksgiving, Jillian announces she is pregnant again. On August 1st, 2022, Jillian delivers her and Jeremy's third daughter and final child: Violet Evangeline Danvers.
2023: For Celia's third birthday, her best friend from daycare gives her a female orange tabby kitten from a litter the friend's mother's cat had. Celia names her Blossom.
2024: Jillian and Jeremy thought they were done having children. But a month after spending time with Jeremy for his birthday weekend, Jillian goes in for a regular check-up and learns she is already five weeks pregnant! She and her husband are surprised, but delighted nonetheless. Another boy, Quinton Gabriel Danvers, is born on February 6th, 2025.
2025: At 32 years old, Jillian decides to do something daring: color her hair! Jeremy is surprised and 7-year-old Phoebe is giggling when Jillian comes home with dark red hair.
2026: While Jillian is leaving a biweekly meeting with her publisher, she gets a phone call from Jeremy. After dropping four-year-old Violet off a preschool and two-year-old Quinton at daycare, Jeremy stopped by the house to pick up something for the art gallery he owns only to find 11-year-old Ethan Robert Myers, the son Peter, of one of Jeremy's closest friends, sitting on their front porch. Jillian heads back to the house. She and Jeremy sit down with Ethan, who explains that, since his father was killed in a motorcycle accident five years prior, his mother has been involved with a man who physically abuses her. Ethan couldn't take it anymore and ran to the Danvers--his father always promised him Jeremy would look out for him--for help. Jillian and Jeremy quickly inform Child Protective Services. Ethan's mother won't leave her boyfriend, but she must hand over her son to the Danvers, which she does without much of a second thought. Jillian and Jeremy become Ethan's legal guardians.
2027: Three-year-old Quinton accidentally falls into a pool at his daycare and would have drowned if one of the mother's helpers had not pulled him out. He is rushed to the hospital for bruises and a head injury. Jillian and Jeremy quickly pull him out of that daycare center and decide it is best to leave him with his grandmother until it is time for him to go to school. Quinton broke his arm somehow in the fall and is afraid to go near water for a long time. Nine-year-old Phoebe even takes time out of school to help look after Quinton. The daycare he was sent to is closed after a string of lawsuits brought on by the city.
2028: After the scary incident with Quinton, Jillian gets another tattoo. It is white angel wings on the small of her back, with her husband's and children's initials on it in black ink.
2029: To provide a safer environment for other children that was not provided so well for her own children, Jillian and Jeremy's younger sister, Katrina, who is an elementary school teacher, open a respectable daycare center/preschool for young children in one of the safest suburban neighborhoods in the city of Boston.
2030: Inspired by the success with the daycare center, Jillian opens her own bookstore in Boston. It is called The Boston Bookshelf. The store carries books not only written by Jillian herself, but for new, up-and-coming authors as well as popular writers and magazines.
2031: Though they are doing better financially than they have in years, Jillian is 38 and Jeremy is 40, and they have their hands full with five biological children and a sixteen-year-old foster son. Jeremy gets a shocking call from Ethan one Wednesday afternoon in March. After Jillian fainted at work, Ethan brought her to the hospital and the doctors think she is three months pregnant...with twins. This was completely unexpected, but the Danvers have learned to take whatever life threw at them. On September 29th, 2031, twin boys Declan Reid Danvers and Camden Blake Danvers are born.
2032: Jeremy's grandmother dies at the rip old age of 95 and leaves her house in Saratoga Spring, New York to Jillian and Jeremy's family. Their house in Boston has suddenly become cramped with eight children and Granny's house is twice the size, plus more land. While the family loves Boston, they also see the opportunities presented to them in New York. By the end of the summer, they have completely moved to Saratoga Springs. Their new home looks like this: http://www.shutterstock.com/cat.mhtm...=1#id=58017802
2033: Because Blossom the orange tabby is coming along in age, the Danvers family take in two furry friends: a female German Shepard named Willow and a white male Persian cat named Prince Philip.
2034: Jillian's close friend Coralyn, a widow of war, dies in a car accident and leaves her two daughters to the Danvers, who gladly take the girls in. Delia Kathleen Morgan is six and Hadley Rue Morgan is nine.
2035: Jillian's latest book hits the bestseller list and a famous director signs off on movie rights to the book. 17-year-old twins Holden and Phoebe and 13-year-old Violet each get roles as extras in the movie.
2036: Jillian opens the New York Bookshelf, a bookstore equivalent to her Boston Bookshelf, and the store becomes a success, opening chains across the state, as well as some Boston Bookshelf.
2037: 22-year-old Ethan is involved in a drunk driving accident while coming home from a friend's birthday party. His car is run off the road and he is nearly killed. He lives in a chemically induced coma for three days. Jillian and Jeremy arrive in Manhattan--where Ethan was attending Hudson University--to see their foster son covered in bandages and suffering from broken bones, a concussion, and internal bleeding. Ethan is in the hospital for six weeks before he is brought back to his parents' home in Saratoga Springs. He returns to school in the spring semester and has to take summer classes to catch up.
2038: Jillian and her eldest daughter, Phoebe, open another daycare in Saratoga Springs called Early Spring Daycare and Preschool.

Write down your name and DH's name, and the year you were married, and how old you were. Also, describe your wedding, honeymoon, and first home in the city you decide to move to once you're married.
Name: Eliza Marie Johnson
Husband's name: Michael Vincent Johnson
Year 1: I was 23 when I married Michael, and he was 24. Our wedding was in a small garden with just family and very close friends. We honeymooned in Hawaii for 3 weeks and went back to our new home in Arizona. We felt we missed something in our family, so we decided to adopt triplets.
we adopted triplets, two girls and a boy.
Lilliana Grace Johnson, Addison Elizabeth Johnson, and Vincent Michael Johnson
Year 2: My sister in-law and I decided to open a day-care center together. We named it "Little Darlings" and we are booked every day of the week! Juggling three 1 year olds and running a business is sure taking it's toll....
Year 3: "Little Darlings" Has become so busy we are opening a chain in Massachusetts were we decide to re-locate. My entire family lives in a suburb of Boston so that's where we are opening the chain. My Sister in-law is doing a lot of the work lately because I have been so busy with three 2-year olds!
Year 4: My life has been so hectic lately with three 3 year olds and working almost full time again at "little darlings". I was feeling sick, so I assumed it was just the flu. A week later I went to the doctor and they told me i was expecting twin boys. I couldn't believe this. So 9 months later I welcomed Ryan Andrew & Henry Donald to the world. I decided to take a break from "little darlings" for a long while!
Year 5: This year my sister-in-law and co-worker delivered a healthy baby girl! Her name is Ella Victoria and she is the calmest baby I have ever seen. My triplets are now 4 years old and the twins are now 1. My husband has decided to quit his job to be a stay at home dad and I have returned full time to "Little Darlings". I don't want the kids to grow up with babysitters, nannys, and employees of mine. Not that I don't trust them!
Year 6: I had that same sick feeling and I was pregnant again. With twin girls! I was going to be a mother of 7!! My triplets are now 5 and the twins are only 2. Thank goodness Michael stays home with the kids! 8 months later I delivered Bailey Nicole and Olivia Mae the the world!
Year 7: The triplets are finally in full-time Kindergarten! The boys are now 3 and the girls are now 1. Life is still hectic, and business at "Little Darlings" is still booming! I decide i want to open another business. This time, a bookstore. It is conveniently located right next to "Little Darlings" and It is a children's bookstore named "Small Pages".
Year 8: This year my sister-in-law and co-founder of "Little Darlings" welcomed another baby girl! Her name is Trixie Anne! Is sure must be nice to have 2 kids! The triplets are now 7 and are in the first grade! The boys are now 4 and the girls are 2! Life is starting to fall perfectly in place. "Little Darlings" Opened a third franchise in Downtown Boston where my sister-in-law has moved. "Small Pages" is also doing wonderful and is getting quite a bit of business!
Year 9: This year my husband's 21 year old dead-beat brother has come to live with us for 6 months. He is a terrible influence on the kids, and our health! He is a heavy drinker and he often comes home in the middle of the night, waking up all of the children. I can't wait until he goes back home! The triplets are now in the second grade and are 8 years old. The boys are 5 and are in kindergarten and the girls are 3. "Little Darlings" is still doing great and has opened another franchise in Vermont! "Small Pages" is still doing well, too.
Year 10: This year we decided to have one more child. Surprise! It's twins...AGAIN! This time we had fraternal twins! Their names are Matthew Henry & Caroline Janet. The triplets are now 9 and are in 3rd grade! Seems like just yesterday we came home as a newlywed couple adopting triplets! The boys are now 6 and are in the 1st grade, the girls are 4, and the fraternal twins are 1 week old! "Small Pages" has picked up business and a friend of mine has opened a franchise of it in Downtown Boston. "Little Darlings" Is still as busy as ever. I decided to take another break and Michael has decided to go back to work.
Year 11: This year we had another surprise in store. We had triplet boys! We were not expecting them, but they are wonderful! The oldest triplets are 10... Double digits!! They are now in the 4th grade! The boys are 7 and are now in 2nd grade, the girls are 5 and are now in full time kindergarten, and the fraternal twins are 1! I have offically retired from "Little Darlings". My sister in law has agreed to continue the business. I still own "Small Pages" but I rarely have time for it anymore with 12 children. We are becoming the duggars...
Year 12: This year had a big change in store.. NO, not more kids! But we were cramped in our 6 bedroom house in Massachusetts so we built a huge home in Austin, Texas. The kids miss their friends but quickly made more! We all love it here! The oldest triplets are now 11 and are in 5th grade! The boys are 8 and now in 3rd grade, the girls are 6 and are in 1st grade, the fraternal twins are 2, and the youngest triplets are 1. I gave my "Small pages" franchise to my sister in law because with 12 kids I can't afford to be anywhere else but with them. My husband works partly from home now to help me with our kids.
Year 13: This year I had another surprise set of twin boys! We named them Zachary Austin & Nick Ryan. The oldest triplets are 12 and are in the 6th grade! The boys are 9 and are now in 4th grade, the girls are 7 and are now in 2nd grade, the fraternal twins are 3, and the youngest triplets are 2. I am finding less and less time with my husband after our newest edition to the family
year 14: Unfortunately, we grew out of our home and had to move to another house in Austin, Texas. This home is basically a mansion! The oldest are now 13... teenagers. Wow i'm old! The boys are 10 and are now in 5th grade, the girls are 8 and are now in 3rd grade, the fraternal twins are 4, the younger triplets are 3, and the 2nd set of twin boys are now 1. I swear i'm a couple kids off from a reality show!
Year 15: The oldest are 14, the boys are 11, the girls are 9, the fraternal twins are 5, the younger triplets are 4, and the 2nd set of twin boys are 2. Sadly, I discovered my husband was cheating on me. He ran into his high school sweet-heart who now lives in texas. This affair has been going of behind my back for 3 years now. We are currently living in separate houses. He lives in the old house and I stay in the new one with the kids. We are not divorced. Yet
Year 16: The oldest are 15, the boys are 12, the girls are 10, the fraternal twins are 6, the youngest triplets are 5, the other twins are now 3. My deadbeat brother in law had a baby girl with his girlfriend. They named her Tabitha Rose. With my marriage still on the rocks, I have decided to go back to working part-time. I hired a nanny and my husband and I have the kids and nanny every other week. I opened a "Small Pages" franchise here in Austin.
Year 17: The oldest are 16, the boys are 13, the girls are 11, the fraternal twins are 7, the young triplets are 6, and the other twins are now 4. My mother moved to Austin to help me out with the kids and she wanted to start a business with me. We launched a kid's clothing store but it failed. On the bright side, my marriage is improving. We live in the same house but are still in different rooms
year 18: The oldest are 17, the boys are 14, the girls are 12, the fraternal twins are 8, the triplets are 7, and the twins are 5. My husband and I got back together and could not be happier! As a result, at the age of 41 I had twin girls named Annabelle Rose & Adrianna Mell
year 19: The oldest are 18, the boys are 15, the girls are 12, the other twins are 9, the trips. are 8, and the twins are 6. The youngest twins are now 1. Unfortunately, my husband's college friend passed away and we took in their three year old son Devyn Richard.
Year 20: The oldest are 19 and moved out, the boys are 16, the girls are 13, the other twins are 10, the trips. are 9, the twins are 7, Devyn is 4, and the youngest editions are now 2, and we adopt a pet dog named Carrie. Now we have 17 kids and a dog. We lived happily ever after!

Name: Carly Elizabeth Smith
DH: Zachary James Smith
Married 2012 when Carly was 22 & Zach was 23
Married in a small church with just family and friends
Moved to Dallas, Texas!
Year 1:
Zach and I are still happily married, but we are not quite ready for kids! His little cousin, Laura Michelle Andrews got married this past week! She is 18 and her husband is 20. We are very happy for them.
Year 2:
Zach's job required us to move to Phoenix, Arizona. The weather is extremely hot and we love it here!
Year 3:
This year, Zach and I welcomed our baby boy Austin Zachary Smith. He has blue eyes and blonde hair and looks just like Zach!
Year 4:
Austin has gotten so big! Zach and I are still happily married. My nephew, Grant, just got married to his high-school sweetheart this past winter! They also have a daughter Austin's age named Hailey!
Year 5:
Zach's job required us to move again. This time we moved to Virginia Beach, Virginia. It's a huge step for us! We don't know a soul here, but we love the beach! Austin is now 2 and we are thinking about having another baby.
Year 6:
This year we adopted fraternal twin girls! They are 5 months old and their names are Caroline Bailey & Amelia Reese. We couldn't be happier! Austin loves his little sisters!
Year 7:
This year has been rough. Zach almost died in a car accident driving home from a party. He was hit by a drunk driver, and he survived, and only his left arm was broken. This has really brought our family closer together and we can't take things for granted anymore. Austin is now 4 and the twins are 1 this year.
Year 8:
This year we welcomed another baby boy! We named him Daniel Henry and Austin loves him! The twins are skeptical though... the family is doing great!
Year 9:
This year, I unexpectedly became pregnant with a baby girl! Her name is Nicole Paisley. Austin is now 6 and in first grade! Can you believe it?!? The twins are 3, Danny is 1 and Nikki is 3 months old! Our family is growing so big!
Year 10:
This year was tough. We moved back to Dallas, Texas. Austin has to make all new friends, and we feel badly for it. Zach's job has us moving around way too much!
Year 11:
This year we welcomed another baby boy! We named him Nathaniel Lawrence or "Nate". We are over the moon! We now have 6 kids! Austin is 8 and in third grade, the twins are 5 and in Kindergarten, Danny is 3, Nikki is 2, and Nate is barely a month old.
Year 12:
This year Zach and I caved and got the family a pet dog. We adopted a Golden Retriever named Millie from the pound. She is 2 years old and so incredibly loving and gets along great with all of the kids! So much better than a pet rock!
Year 13:
This year was crazy! I finally died my hair brunette after being a blonde my entire life! Also, on a dare from Zach I got my belly button pierced! I know it looks ridiculous for a 35 year old to have a belly-button piercing but I love it! Because Zach made me do this, in return, I made Zach get a tattoo. He got the initials of all the kids on his back. Austin is now 10! double digits! He is in 5th grade. The twins are 7 and in 2nd grade, Danny is 5 and in Kindergarten, Nikki is 4 and in pre-school, and little Nate is 2!
Year 14:
This year Zach and I went in to business together, opening a small bookstore. Unfortunately, with the economy it didn't work out. On the bright side, a new frozen yogurt shop moved into the building! Sweet.
Year 15:
This year we decided to try again for a baby! We welcomed our newest edition, Lillian Ella "Lily"! We now have 7 kids!! Austin is 12 (Almost a teen!!) The twins are 9 and in 4th grade, Danny is 7 and in second grade, Nikki is 6 and in first grade, Nate is 4, and baby Lily is just 3 weeks old!
Year 16:
This year was pretty upsetting. My dear father-in-law got very sick. Zachary decided to take off work for 6 months and fly to Montgomery, Alabama to be with his father. This was hard on the entire family. We were losing income, so I decided to return to my job as a nurse. My older sister, who lives about 15 minutes away, has been helping out a ton by watching the kids while i'm at work. Fortunately, my father-in-law survived and is stronger than ever! Also, Austin is 13!!
Year 17:
This year, Zach's little sister Mona came to live with us for the summer. She is only 24 and would go out and party every night. She is not the best influence on our children! Mona is a heavy drinker and smoker too, but we forced her to go down the street to smoke. Finally she left and got herself a job as a shift manager at a piercing shop... Anyway Austin is now 14 and a freshman in high school!! The twins are 11 and in middle school, Danny is 9 and in 4th grade, Nikki is 8 and in third, Nate is 6 and in first grade, and Lily is 2.
Year 18:
This year was wonderful! My niece, Kiera, got married in Hawaii and we all got to go! It was the vacation of a lifetime and will be a fond memory for years and years to come!!
Year 19:
This year Zach and I try to open our bookstore again, this time it was a success! People from all over town come to buy books! It's awesome! Austin is now a Junior in high school (AH!), Caroline & Amelia are 13 and in 8th grade, Danny is 11 and in 6th grade, Nikki is 10 and in 5th grade, Nate is 8 and in 3rd grade, and Lily is is 4!
Year 20:
At the age of 42, I got pregnant. This was a huge surprise. After Lily was born we decided to stop having kids, and a year later when I was late I went the the doctor and he told me I couldn't have anymore children. At my 1st Ultrasound we discovered we were having twins! So at the old age of 42 I gave birth to Identical twin boys names Timothy Roger & Ryan Zachary. We are so lucky to have such a great family!

"The colors are vibrant just like on the screen. The paper quality is nice. They came before the date expected. Very satisfied."
"I purchased as is (no personalizing, only the information about my shower was edited) and to be honest, you really don't need to change a thing. It's so adorable and the colors are exactly as you see online. The quality was great. I will say, where the envelopes were glued (on the side) made sliding the card in a bit "snug" but overall, I'd buy these all over again! Great quality."
"The card is beautiful. I accidentally noticed an issue with my typing as soon as I purchased the card and immediately called their customer service line. The representative was very helpful. She forwarded it to their design area first. I received an email to approve the design once they finished with it. I realized by then I needed 10 more invitations and they quickly changed that for me and ordered the invitations."
"This invitation is classy, elegant, and absolutely beautiful! Everyone responding to the invitation made it a point to comment on how beautiful it was! Although you can customize the font, the sample was so great we decided not to change a thing. Everything it offers is perfect! It even has an area to indicate where the bride is registered. So nice to have everything on just one card. The color choices offered exactly what we needed. It was also a pleasant surprise to see the excellent quality of the envelope. We could not have made a better choice than this one!"
"LOVE how these invites turned out for my friends bridal shower! the invite it self is great quality the envelopes on the other hand could be thicker. other than that they are so CUTE!!!!!"
