It was high summer and the boy lay in the grass. He gazed lazily up at the clouds drifting by overhead. An occasional heavy sigh was the only sign of the impatience and anxiety he felt within.
Nearby on the porch steps sat the old man. He knew what his grandson was really feeling, but had no qualms about making his own impatience much more obvious. "Just once I'd like to see your father be ready on time," he snapped.
"He'll be here soon, Gramps," answered the boy, with an unconvincing sigh.
The old man was impatient because he was a stickler for punctuality. But the boy was impatient for a much more immediate and personal reason. He'd been working part time and saving his money for a couple of years, all in anticipation of this moment. And the five months since he'd turned eighteen had already seemed an eternity. Today he was finally ready for one of the most important purchases of his young life, and his father seemed to be deliberately making him wait.
At long last the door swung open. "Oh, here you two are!" called the boy's father. "What are you waiting around for? Are you ready, or not?" At which both young man and old man alike rolled their eyes.
Gramps pulled himself to his feet, complaining the whole way up, although at 106 years of age he actually got around quite well. In fact it never ceased to amaze him that he was still around at all. He could remember clearly when, as a boy of six, he'd witnessed the big millennium celebrations back in 1999. It had never occurred to him then that he'd live to celebrate another major New Year, with the year 2100 just six months away. Even more amazing was the fact that he could expect another couple of decades of health thanks to all the advances in health care over the past century; he was still twenty years shy of the current average male life span.
Ambling along to catch up with his son and grandson, he kept up a steady stream of grumbles and gripes. But despite his complaints, Gramps was really delighted to be there that day. Allan had always been his favorite son, and Robert was his favorite grandson. He wouldn't have missed this day for anything.
The three of them climbed into the auto and Allan punched in the address for their destination. As they settled back for the automated ride into town, Robert, as usual, wanted to hear more about the strange time when Gramps was young.
"So, Gramps," asked Robert, "weren't you saying they didn't even have pet stores when you were a kid?"
"No, no, I never said that," replied Gramps. "What I said was pet stores back then only sold things like cats and dogs and fish and birds. You know, critters."
"Wow," said Robert. "That is so strange. People kept those kind of things in their homes then?"
"As pets?"
"Well, don't forget the word 'pet' had a different meaning back then. You keep forgetting that."
The young man shook his head in confusion. "Right, right. Okay. But I guess I still don't really understand how you got your females then."
The old man sighed, as though he were annoyed about his grandson's interest in the old days. In fact, he never got tired of telling Robert, or any other youngster, how much better they had it now.
"I know it's hard for you to picture how things were back then, Bobby. It's kind of hard for me too, sometimes. When I was a young fella like yourself, it was before they repealed the nineteenth Amendment, before they passed the first of the Female Education and Control Acts. It was a really different world back then, believe me."
The old man stared out the window, momentarily distracted by the orderly, computer controlled flow of traffic on the highway. He could vividly recall what it was like to drive manually in such traffic. Next to him Robert cleared his throat, and he turned his attention back to his grandson.
"Tell me about your first female again, Gramps," said the young man.
"Bah! You've heard all that before."
"I know, but it still fascinates me."
"Well, all right," agreed the old man, with a wink. "My first female ... Let's see. She was something we called a 'wife' back then. And a wife was ... Well, a wife was supposed to be the only female a man would ever, um, own, although we didn't call it 'owning' then."
"What did you call it?"
"Used to be called 'marriage' and the man and the female were considered equal."
"No kidding!"
"Would I kid you, boy?" growled the old man.
"No, Gramps! It's just an expression. I didn't mean--"
"I know, son. Just yanking your chain. Heh. Anyway, this wife-thing ... She was supposed to be kind of like a combination of what we'd now call a Pleasure pet, a Breeder, and a Domestic."
"Wow," said Robert. "All at the same time?"
"Yeah. Well, not simultaneously, of course. But a good 'wife' was supposed to be good at all three. Sometimes she was a Worker too, and maybe even a Talent. But no matter what, a man couldn't have more than one of 'em."
The young man shook his head, bewildered. "I can't even imagine what it was like, Gramps. I mean, in order to be all that, a wife must have been really expensive! How could you afford one? I mean, if you weren't rich and all."
"Well, remember, boy, you didn't just come right out and buy your female then. You had to go through a whole series of long, complicated rituals. There was 'dating' and then 'courtship' and finally 'engagement'. You'd spend a bundle getting through the rituals, and buying the required 'engagement ring' but even after spending all that money ... Well, it still wasn't considered the same thing as just buying them."
"I think I understand," said Robert. "Still, the men with the most money got the best females, right? Just like today."
"Yes, but--Bah! It's so hard to explain to kids raised under the new system." The old man fumed for a moment, before resuming. "Look, females were considered equal to men, legally, and they had to consent to the, uh, purchase. But, um, well ... Aw hell! I guess the economics of it were pretty much the same as these days. A man got the best female he could afford then, just like now."
Robert persisted with his questions. "But even if you were really, really rich, you could still only own one female at a time?"
"That's what I just said, boy!" Gramps glared at the young man for a moment, then grinned and winked at him. "In theory at least. In practice, men had as many females as they could afford, same as they do now. The real problem wasn't getting them, though. You wanna know what the real problem was?"
"Sure, Gramps!"
"The real problem was getting rid of one when you didn't want her anymore. Like that first 'wife' of mine. Before the FECA laws--I hate that acronym--sounds like 'fecal'--anyway, before then I would've had to go through something called a 'divorce' or I couldn't, uh, purchase or acquire or whatever, a new one. But a divorce was ... Well, it was nothing like the simple sales transaction we have today. In fact, instead of getting cash from the deal, a man could end up paying for the old female, even after he got rid of her. I know, I know. Sounds crazy to me too, now, but that's the way it was."
After reflecting a moment, Gramps continued. "Thank goodness I never had to go through that myself. Just around the time I thought I was ready for a new female, FECA passed and, as a 'husband' I was given title to my former 'wife' along with any assets she possessed on her own. It wasn't long after that when I sold her and purchased my first open market female. I was doing pretty well for myself at the time, and I bought me a Pleasure pet the likes of which I could only have dreamed of under the old divorce system."
The usual hard edge to Gramps' face softened. "Boy, she was something!"
Then, continuing his tale, he said, "Of course, it was a little awkward selling my 'wife' back then. After all, she was considered my equal when I married her. Also, she was not one of the females who supported the changes in the laws at the time. Not by a long shot. Come to think of it, I didn't support them at first myself."
"What?!" exclaimed Robert. "You're kidding me again, aren't you, Gramps?"
The old man shook his head. "Afraid not, Bobby. Ya gotta remember that the psychosis of female equality was pervasive. It was like mass hypnosis, and I was immersed in it. The twentieth century was the only time in history when men experimented with full female equality, and I grew to manhood right before it collapsed from its own internal contradictions. Like Communism before it, but that's another story. So it took a while for me to get completely comfortable with the new mindset. When I sold Mary, she wasn't very happy about it, but I made sure she went to a good rehabilitation center, where they worked their magic on her. Out of curiosity, I did a title search on her several years later, and found her listed as a Domestic pet, which I thought was funny, 'cause she was certainly no Domestic when I 'owned' her."
As Gramps chuckled to himself at a joke only he got, Allan announced, "Okay, Dad, history lesson's over for today. We're here."
"All right!" shouted Robert, fumbling with the hatch release in his eagerness.
The three men climbed out of the auto and hurried from the parking garage into the mall. Gramps did his best to keep up. His grandson was about to pick out his first Pleasure pet, and he knew the boy couldn't wait to get to the pet shop. But it didn't take long before he was lagging far behind.
Allan slowed down to walk with him, letting the youngster hurry on ahead. "There goes one excited boy," said Gramps.
"Can you blame him, Dad?"
"Nope. Not in the least."
The two older men strolled leisurely past the shops in the mall. "Well, Dad, how do you think the Browns will do this year?" asked Allan.
"Hmmph," snarled Gramps. "I think they'll disappoint me again, like they've been doing for the last hundred years."
Just then, they passed a couple of Domestic pets out on their own running errands. Both of the females had hair trimmed just shy of shoulder length, and wore shapeless frocks of gray with light blue trim. They wore no jewelry, but their collars and ownership tags were plainly visible as required by law. They approached quickly in their flat, functional walking shoes, and acknowledged the two men as was customary with respectful nods and diverted eyes.
Gramps could tell at a glance that the Domestics belonged to two different households. The public passes attached to their frocks were color-coded and had large, easy-to-read license numbers. Their owners were probably neighbors who sent them out together to save on cab fares.
Females, of course, were no longer permitted to drive, like they were in the old days. They had to rely on autocabs when they were permitted out on their own. Even then, females could be monitored at all times. The public passes, besides allowing them to travel in public without male escort, also contained global positioning chips along with a program of permitted destinations. Significant variances would immediately sound an alarm at the Female Control Agency, which could then track down the delinquent female.
As the Domestics passed, Gramps smiled and nodded at them. Sometimes it still amazed him how unthinkable the very notion of an unaccompanied female without a public pass had become.
A little further along, the two men met an old friend of Allan's, a successful businessman named Martin who liked to flaunt his expensive status symbols. That day he walked through the mall holding the leashes of a Breeder pet and a Pleasure pet, which followed behind him at an appropriate distance.
Allan and Gramps stopped to talk to Martin, asking first about his Breeder, which was obviously well along with a pregnancy.
"Yep," said Martin, grinning broadly. "Queenie here is seven months along. The doctor says it'll be another boy. That'll make seven boys and five girls for me." With a wink at Allan, he added, "From six different Breeders, by the way."
Queenie was a very attractive female, probably close to thirty years old, with a dark complexion and deep brown hair. She wore a simple, conservative maternity dress, with a jeweled collar and tag. She also wore jeweled leather cuffs on her wrists and ankles, although the cuffs were not joined in any way.
After expressing their congratulations on another son, Gramps and Allan turned their attention to the Pleasure pet. She was strikingly exquisite, with long flowing auburn hair and large dark brown eyes. Martin was obviously partial to red, because he had dressed his Pleasure pet in a red corset-like top that left her firm, full breasts fully exposed. Her only other clothing was a red garter belt holding up red stockings, and red five-inch high-heels.
Like Queenie, the Pleasure pet wore leather cuffs at her wrists and ankles, but in her case, the ankle cuffs were linked by a twelve-inch hobble chain. A third pair of cuffs circled her elbows. These were locked behind her, joining her elbows tightly together. A short chain connected her wrist cuffs in front, forcing her to keep her hands up at her waist.
The Pleasure pet's pubic patch, plainly visible below the garter belt, had been shaved into the shape of a heart, and her permanently glossed lips sparkled in the bright artificial light of the mall. Small ruby-colored pendants attached to her nipple rings swayed lazily to and fro as the men inspected her.
Allan was visibly impressed with the vision of female beauty and vulnerability. He walked slowly around the Pleasure pet, closely appraising her up and down from all angles. Gramps did likewise. The pet appeared to be completely flawless to his eyes.
"Is--is this a new one?" stammered Allan.
Martin was beaming with pride as he saw the frank envy on his friend's face. "Oh yeah," he replied. "Just bought her last week." He waited another moment while Allan and Gramps felt the pet's firm buttocks and hefted her perfectly shaped breasts, appreciating their fluid, natural bounce.
"Fifi here," continued Martin, "took 'Best of Show' at the Midwest Pet Show last Spring. And ... she won third place in the National Show just last month."
"No shit!" said Gramps. "She's a fine bitch, Martin. That's for damn sure. Uh, should I ask how much?"
Martin laughed. "Gramps, if you have to ask, you can't afford her. Let's just say she's a little reward I gave myself for my most profitable year ever."
The men talked for a few more minutes, mostly about Fifi's many exquisite assets. The whole time she remained quiet and still, with her head held high, but with eyes lowered. As a trained Pleasure pet, Fifi was completely comfortable with being the center of attention, as well as being the subject of explicit assessments of her physical attributes. As with any Pleasure pet, she knew the effect she had on men and accepted her place as perfectly natural.
Suddenly, Allan remembered why they were there. "Uh oh!" he exclaimed. "We better get going. Bobby's probably thinking we got lost or something."
"I saw him hurry by just before I ran into you," said Martin.
"He's on his way to the pet shop. Buying his first Pleasure pet today," said Gramps.
"Then by all means, get going!" said Martin. As they started to walk off, he added, "I'll invite you over sometime, Al. You can try out Fifi if you like."
As Allan and Gramps rounded the last corner into the section of the mall with the pet shop, they saw Robert standing at the door hopping mad and looking like he was going to burst.
"C'mon Dad! Gramps! You guys are killing me today," he scolded.
"Okay, Bobby, we're here now. Let's go."
And together, the three men walked through the main entrance of Midwest Pets and Supplies.

Legendary ABC newsman Ted Koppel and his wife Grace Anne are brokenhearted over the death of their only son, Andrew, who died early Monday after a weekend-long drinking binge in Manhattan.
"Our son, Andrew, was a brilliant, caring man, whose loss we will mourn for the rest of our lives," The Koppels remarked in a somber statement issued Tuesday.
Andrew Koppel, a 40-year-old former attorney with the New York City Housing Authority with a history of alcohol addiction, was declared dead in a Washington Heights apartment at approximately 1:30 AM. Police said Koppel — who lived in nearby Queens with his girlfriend and their two-year-old daughter — had been drinking heavily for hours with a waiter he met on Sunday afternoon. Russell Wimberly, 32, said they met at Smith's Bar on 44th St. and Ninth Ave., striking up a conversation after each noticed the other wearing a similar straw hat.
Funeral arrangements are set for this week.

The NRA Even Gets the Sandy Hook Body Count WrongQuicklink submitted by Sheila Samples Permalink

|In irony gone ghoulish, Wayne LaPierre, the NRA's executive vice president and chief executive officer, actually inflated the body count of youngsters. He made the startling and revealing error while suggesting that things might have been different if Adam Lanza had encountered an armed security guard at the school. "Will you at least admit it's possible that 26 little kids, that 26 innocent lives might have been spared that day?" LaPierre asked.

41 year old man | Pasadena, TX, USA | Seeking women 34-45 within 50 miles
2 phrases that I live by.. "Say what you mean, & mean what you say." & of course.. "actions speak louder than words
I love making people laugh. I can be goofy, silly, & even enjoy when the jokes are on me. :). I also love going to family functions, events with friends, & spending time with our kids. I have 3 total, but only 1 left at home now. That's because my 1st 2 have graduated, gotten jobs, & have became independent adults. I'm proud of them both. :-) My baby girl (15 yrs old.. lol) is a sophmore this year in high school. Oh, & she's in all AP classes too! (Advanced Placement) :-) She's so adorable & full of life, just like her daddy. Lol Together, we play all types of sports. She is very athletic, learns fast, & I enjoy playing sports myself, so it helps me stay young too. :-) Currently she is on the cross country team, plus on JV volleyball team. I'm sure she will make the basketball team again, & she will be on varsity, when track season starts back up. Coach already told her. :-) anyway, I've done this with all 3 of my kids. Playing sports. When I grew up, i didn't stay inside the house, playing games, or just sit watching TV. I went outside, played, & came in when it got dark. Even now, I'm on a team throughout the year. Softball & basketball leagues. :-) family time is important, but my kids want me happy, & to find the right girl. :) the right girl for me, would be someone that is very loving. I show my affection ALL the time, & its nice to feel it in return. I love helping others, so I would like someone that is giving also. You won't get anywhere in this world being greedy, needy, or selfish. Being a good person has its rewards. Maybe not financially, but in your heart. :) in the end, when our time comes, God will know the person you are & how you treated others. So please, treat others well. He's always watching. :-) I work in the refineries as a combo welder. Sometimes we work long hours, & a few times, maybe 7 days a week. When I'm at work, I'm very committed to the job. After work, I'm very committed to my family. I don't bring any problems from either side, to the other. They stay where they are. I want things to run smoothly, & burdens could make you lose focus, get you hurt, or grow old with stress. I don't plan on growing old for awhile. Lol. My mom & dad divorced when I was 13. So I grew up with my mom, my sister, & the women in the family. So I'm comfortable talking, & I'm also a great listener. :-) While my uncles & cousins were off watching "the game", I was with the women in the kitchen. My aunts, mom, & sometimes my grandma. So yeah, I'm more comfortable with women. Lol But If its the play-offs, then heck yeah I will watch some of the games! :-) For me, I would just rather play sports, instead of watching them. anytime, & any place. :) 1 of my vehicles is always loaded, with everything we need. Volleyball, softball, basketball, frisbee, football, canopy & chairs, & even a huge water gun. Lol. Sports, or just set up & relax in the shade, I'm always ready for anything. its packed & ready to go, just say the word. Lol. :) Ok, I know I've been going on & on. Lol. Blame my mom. Lol. Jk. trying to balance my time with my kids, enjoying activities with family & friends, plus work, makes things difficult in finding a match. So here I am. I'm gonna see what the internet might bring along. In any case, I will make a lot more friends, & that's always a plus too. :-) I just hope that a certain friend I find, will be the one I can settle down with, & start a long term relationship with.

The Baltimore Ravens have signed nose tackle Ryan McBean, adding depth to their defensive line. McBean, 28, had 33 tackles and four sacks in 2011 for the Broncos. He had been a restricted free agent, but the Broncos rescinded the offer on April 16, making him an unrestricted free agent. Originally a fourth-round pick of the Steelers in 2007, McBean played just one game for the team before landing with the Ravens. In 47 career games, McBean has 77 tackles, four sacks and a fumble recovery. The Oklahoma State product will not be available for the start of the season. He was suspended in March for a violation of the league's performance-enhancing drug policy, but has disputed the finding along with former teammate D.J. Williams, who was also suspended. Both players are suing the NFL over the suspensions.

Mitt Romney to heckler: "Corporations are people"
Seán Kinane
WMNF Drive-Time News Thursday | Listen to this entire show:
Are corporations people? Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney seems to think so. In a campaign stop at the Iowa State Fair Thursday Romney was questioned by an audience member whether he would take Social Security out of the debt-reduction debate since it doesnât contribute to the national debt.
"We have to make sure the promises we make are promises we can keep. And there are various ways of doing that. One is we can raise taxes on people. That's not the way..."
(crowd): "Corporations. Corporations."
"Corporations are people my friend. We can raise taxes on..of course they are.
Everything corporations earn ultimately goes to people."
(crowd): laughter
"Where do you think it goes?"
(crowd): "In their pockets."
"Whose pockets. Whose pockets. Peopleâs pockets. Okay. Human beings, my friend."

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
What an engrossing game! The storyline really compels you to explore the world and learn it's secrets. The RPG system flows flawlessly and traces back to the golden era of fully customizable SNES characters.
On top of that, this is such a gorgeous game. Dystopia fans will drool all over it.

BandFuse: Rock Legends - E3 2013 Stage Demo
Chris rocks out with BandFuse: Rock Legends as the last demo of Day 1, E3 2013.

Why comparing this game to Rock Band while Rocksmith is already available and allows to plug a real guitar/bass ?
It's not the same as Rock Band, rather speaks more to the Rocksmith crowd. I have both, Also I have plastic instruments for the Rock Band and the Squier Strat Pro guitar, which was fine as a starter guitar - but has it's own problems as a standalone guitar. I don't know how I feel about another fender/game bundle...
Two things though - In the initial showing they used Music videos in the background, that were not shown in this demo - is it because of the multiplayer, or did they just abandon the idea completely?
Also - My enthusiasm about the game has been winding down as the launch date get further away. Hope it's not postponed much longer.
After the Rock Band fiasco. (how RB went under and so did your THOUSANDS of dollars spent on DLC/Intruments) I don't think anybody wants to spend money on music games.
@DSkinMasque I can still play my THOUSANDS of dollars DLC, thank you.
@Foppe @DSkinMasque Pretty sure Harmonix is around. The game and the company did not "go under" as is being stated. They have stated recently they will bring Rock Band back in a new form in the future. They also just did some sort of motion cap game for Disney around the Fantasia movie. All of my DLC is quite intact. They are just no longer adding to the library.

To Béchamel sauce add Gruyère cheese, Parmesan cheese, and onion. Add salt and pepper to taste. Heat until flavors are thoroughly blended and the sauce is smooth.
This IS a Soubise; the difference between both is the use of onion.


text: With the primary goal of the NFL combine to learn more about the prospects in the draft, let's use Bill Belichick's comments from Thursday to do just that. "It was interesting to see, really, almost the entire Tennessee offensive line there," he said. "That was pretty unusual to see that many guys from one school in that group." It's a group that Alabama coach Nick Saban, a Belichick confidant, felt was probably the best his team faced in 2013. Tennessee has had a nice little run along the offensive line, as guard Dallas Thomas was a prospect who had interested the Patriots last year.via ESPN.com - NFL Nation http://ift.tt/NhLu4r

On Thursday, November 7th, 2013, science writer David Quammen spent a very busy day as Piper's Distinguished Visiting Writer: all in one day he filmed a segment for PBS's Books & Co. interview series; he answered questions for our Piper Center Video Series; he met with ASU students in the MFA Creative Writing program and graduate science programs to discuss the relationship between science and storytelling; he filmed an episode of Five Burning Questions with ASU's Center for Science and Imagination; he talked with fans during a catered reception; he lectured on zoonotic disease and his most recent book, Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic, at ASU's Marston Theater; and then Quammen ended the night with a Q&A session and book signing. Co-sponsored by the Center for Science and Imagination, the Institute for Humanities Research, the School of Letters and Sciences, and Barrett, The Honors College, it was a wonderful series of events, celebrating the power of storytelling to connect audiences with important scientific issues and other real-world subjects.
Quammen sat with the Piper Center to discuss his writing. Take a look at the following videos we shot during his visit:
David Quammen Gives Advice on Nonfiction Writing (November 2013)
Spillover author David Quammen offers advice to those wanting to break into the world of nonfiction writing.
David Quammen Discusses "Spillover" (November 2013)
David Quammen discusses how he came to research and write Spillover.
David Quammen on the Transition and Connections between Writing Fiction and Nonfiction (2013)
"Spillover" author David Quammen discusses writing fiction and nonfiction, their connections and the transition from writing from one genre to the other.
David Quammen was born in 1948 and raised in the suburbs of Cincinnati, closely adjacent to a hardwood forest. It was here he spent much of his boyhood, until bulldozers came and scraped the forest away, a formative experience. In 1973, after education at Yale and Oxford and the publication of one novel, he moved to Montana. His second book, a spy novel, was released in 1983, and another spy novel, The Soul of Viktor Tronko, based on historical events in the case of a certain Russian defector, was published by Doubleday in 1987. Blood Line: Stories of Fathers and Sons was published by Graywolf Press a year later.
Quammen began to develop into a nonfiction writer, working as a columnist for Outside Magazine for 15 years. Selections of these columns, along with those from other magazines, comprise his four books of short nonfiction: Natural Acts (1985), The Flight of the Iguana (1988), Wild Thoughts from Wild Places (1998), and The Boilerplate Rhino (2000). A revised, culled, and re-expanded edition of Natural Acts was published by W.W. Norton in 2008, and he has written four full-length nonfiction books: The Song of the Dodo (1996), Monster of God (2003), The Reluctant Mr. Darwin (2006), and Spillover (2012).
Since 1999, Quammen has worked with National Geographic, beginning with a series of three stories about J. Michael Fay's epic 2000-mile survey hike through the forests of Central Africa, an expedition that became known as the Megatransect. He now holds a position as Contributing Writer, and in 2004 wrote the National Geographic cover story "Was Darwin Wrong?," which won the third of his National Magazine Awards. He holds honorary doctorates from Montana State University and Colorado College, and has received a Rhodes scholarship, a Guggenheim fellowship, and a Lannan Literary Award for nonfiction. From 2007 to 2009 he served a full three-year term as Wallace Stegner Professor of Western American Studies at Montana State University. He lives in Bozeman with his wife, Betsy Gaines Quammen.Website

im back, update :)
You keep blabbing on and on about you! And NO you didn't say "poor you" but you didn't have to I'm sure about 90% of the women reading your post can see you are feeling sorry for yourself and your sick husband.
I could give two shuts about how hard this is on you I'm trying to help you see that your decision to reunite with this evil person is WRONG! Period.
Yes that's my opinion and you know down in your heart this is a mistake.
Take your head out of your ass and NEVER see this bastard again.
Yeah I so freaking worked up because it's people like you who ruin the life of a brand new child.
Two hearts that beat as one
Ask yourself, if you daughter was with a man that did this to your grandchild, would you be encouraging she "reunify" her family?
Who said it was okay for a female?
One time proves he is capable. Staying IS a risk.

I'm SOO happy your LO is doing good..Good luck with everything else. Bless u and your baby girl
" i could sit here all day and blame him for all this, which technically some of it is his fault, but i believe in forgivness, and peace n all that hippie stuff."
1. There is so much fail in this statement.
a) Technically, IT'S ALL HIS FAULT.
b) Just because you forgive does not mean you forget, especially when someone has abused your baby.
c) He's obviously an abuser because he has manipulated you into thinking that some of this is your fault.
2. You also stated that you were a victim of abuse. Well, you are repeating the cycle of abuse. You were abused as a child, and now you've chosen a man that is abusive. Break the cycle.
3. I don't have to walk in anyone's shoes to know what I would do if someone harmed my baby, so quit with that crap right now.
This is so sad. Wake up, OP. Babydaddy is a monster, and you're falling for all of his tricks.
"I don't have to walk in anyone's shoes to know what I would do if someone harmed my baby, so quit with that crap right now."
Well said, Summer200.
@ momof3pcb1
Dont feel sorry for my children
they are both happy and healthy thanks to a loving mother and father who protect and encourage them every day.
Neither one of us have every harmed our children and lucky for us our "stress" level isnt high enough to take any anger out on them
But thanks for the shout out.
P.S. the topic is of the OP and the saftey of her child not me and my children.
Thank you.
Two hearts that beat as one
Lmao cause im 21 Yeah i hurt my baby every day Not!
And my man never would. Im just saying shes not going to listen to you mfs. So Why waste your time.

The actress, who has been married twice, said she has had her "heart broken quite a lot".
She said: "For me, broken means that feeling of 'I will never ever recover from this'.
"The notion of 'happily ever after' is bonkers. People aren't honest because of the desire to maintain the romantic ideal. I was talking about Alan Rickman's adulterous role in Love Actually and I got into trouble for daring to ask 'Don't you think we might have become desperately punitive about monogamy?'."
Thompson's first marriage was to fellow actor Kenneth Branagh. She then married Greg Wise.

'Homeland' Season Finale: Will Brody Die? Damian Lewis Weighs InKevin Fitzpatrick December 13, 2012 @ 12:28 PM
While the second season of Showtime's 'Homeland' has admittedly suffered somewhat in its critical accolades, fans remain on pins and needles waiting for this Sunday's second season finale "The Choice." Most of the main terrorist threats to Carrie Matheson have seemingly run their course, but does that mean Nicholas Brody must exit the story, one way or the other? Golden Globe and SAG award nominee Damian Lewis tells us what to expect!

Glasgow-born Capaldi spoke of the support he has received from the pair as he prepares to take on becoming the Doctor.
Speaking in Sydney, which is the latest stop on the Doctor Who World Tour, Capaldi, 56, said: "I've been very, very lucky in that Matt Smith and David Tennant have been incredibly friendly and supportive to me - I can talk to them anytime.
"Because it's quite a small club, you know, the actors who've played the Doctor and they recognise the realities of what being in this position is like."
Capaldi starts his tenure as the Doctor on August 23.

Vacuum Cleaner Bags
Vacuum cleaning systems that offer the best cleaning ability – is that what you are seeking? It's also likely that you believe that cleaning ability is related to power or suction. Actually, it's not. While there's no single factor that determines the cleaning ability of the vacuum cleaner you use, understanding how vacuums work and how you can help maintain your vacuum cleaner to perform its best is important. Changing your vacuum cleaner bag is an important step in maintaining the efficiency of your vacuum cleaner. While most vacuum cleaners come with an indicator to help you determine when your cleaner's dust bag needs to be changed, you can perform a check yourself to see if it is over 50% full as that's when you need to replace it. Don't wait until the dust bag in your vacuum cleaner is completely full as it can reduce the suction and cleaning capacity of your vacuum cleaning system. If you use your vacuum cleaner frequently, it is recommended that you change vacuum cleaner bags once a month, especially if you are cleaning a large area over 2000 square feet or if your pet sheds a lot.
What you need the most when you are considering vacuum cleaner bag replacement is a bag that is well-matched with the model of your vacuum cleaning system. You can find original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or replacement type bags online. While both serve the purpose, that is enhancing the cleaning capacity of your vacuum cleaning system and providing you an easy way to get rid of all the dirt that you vacuum cleaner collects, you can choose one according to your budget and cleaning needs. At GoVacuum, we have got a vast range of vacuum cleaner bags from the biggest and the best brands around. You'll find them here at great prices and shipping offers. We are the vacuum cleaning system experts and can recommend the right bag for your existing system all while staying within your budget.

Reves Hall - Frequently Asked Questions
Reves Hall is the international living learning community. Does that mean most of the residents are international students?
No, it is a mix of American and international students who share an interest in global affairs. About 25% of the students are from abroad (compared to 8-10% in most residence halls).
Is Reves Hall limited to International Relations and Global Studies majors?
Students must have a strong interest in global affairs and agree to enroll in the required course. However, there is no major requirement to live in Reves Hall. The course is open to Reves Hall residents of any major (including undeclared).
What is the physical description of Reves Hall?
The hall is located adjacent to the Reves Center for International Studies. The international living learning community is on the 3rd floor. With 18 students on the floor, it is small enough to foster a sense of community, and its location gives residents easy access to the Marketplace dining facilities in the Campus Center, the W&M Bookstore, and Colonial Williamsburg. The hall is air-conditioned and laundry and kitchen facilities are available on the floor. A floor plan of Reves Hall is available on the Residence Life website.
Do I have to speak a foreign language to live in Reves Hall?
No, but if you do, with the higher percentage of international students, it might be a good place to practice it!
Do residents have to organize Reves Hall programs?
Living in Reves Hall does not obligate you to plan hall programs, but residents agree to participate in activities and contribute to the life of the hall. Resident engagement is one of the things that make Reves Hall such a vibrant and interesting community rather than just a dormitory.
I'm going abroad for a semester. Can I still live in Reves Hall the other semester?
Preference is given to students who intend to reside in Reves Hall for the entire year. However, planned study abroad would not disqualify you. If you plan to be abroad in the spring, the application procedure is the same as usual. You just need to let the Reves Center and Residence Life know that you plan to be in Reves Hall for one semester only.
If you will be abroad during the fall semester and want to get a room in Reves for the spring semester, you will have to submit an application to Residence Life and ask to be placed on the waiting list for spring. There is no set deadline for spring semester applications. Spaces are filled on a first-come first-served basis, so it's to your advantage to get your application in early.
Can I live in Reves all four years?
Unfortunately no. Reves Hall is upperclassmen housing and generally speaking, students may only live there for up to four semesters. This gives other students the opportunity to live there.
Do current residents have to apply again for next year?
Yes. The process is the same for current and past residents as it is for new applicants.
Still have questions? Contact Eva Wong, Reves Hall Faculty Advisor.

Effective April 11, veterans who currently have Veterans' Group Life Insurance (VGLI) may be able to increase their coverage by $25,000 without answering health questions. This expanded benefit is part of the Veterans' Benefit Act of 2010.
All veterans who currently have less than $400,000 in VGLI coverage and are under age 60 on any five-year anniversary of their VGLI effective date are eligible to apply for the increase during the 120 days prior to their five-year VGLI anniversary. They can continue to increase their coverage by $25,000 every five years after that up to the legislated maximum, which is currently $400,000. Amounts less than $25,000 are not available unless the veteran has more than $375,000 in coverage and purchases the amount that increases his or her coverage to $400,000.
Those who are age 60 and older are not eligible for the increase in coverage, but all VGLI coverage previously purchased is guaranteed as long as the premium is paid.
VGLI rates are based on age and the amount of VGLI coverage purchased. Premiums will increase based on the amount of additional coverage purchased. For details about VGLI rates, please visit http://goo.gl/hi7DJ [2]. The site also offers an Insurance Needs Calculator (http://www.insurance.va.gov/sgliSite/calculator/needsCalc.htm [3]) that can help you determine the amount of coverage you may need.
You may find out when you are eligible to increase your VGLI coverage and purchase additional coverage by accessing your VGLI Online Account or calling the Contact Center at (800) 419-1473. You can also expect to receive a notice in the mail in advance of when you become eligible for the coverage increase.
To learn more about VGLI and the opportunity to increase your coverage, go to http://goo.gl/AhwQm [4].

A proposal to bring more stores and another multiscreen movie theater near Thousand Oaks' bustling Moorpark Road shopping district won the City Council's approval Tuesday night.
Council members unanimously approved plans for Plaza Nuevo, a 137,000-square-foot shopping center at Thousand Oaks Boulevard and Lombard Street.
The centerpiece of the plaza would be a 12-screen Edwards theater, located just a few blocks from the new Mann multiplex in the renovated Janss Marketplace.
Council members worried that Thousand Oaks, which has 16 movie screens, may soon become crowded with theaters. But that concern did not change their support for a project several said would help revitalize Thousand Oaks Boulevard.
"It will bring people to that portion of Thousand Oaks Boulevard, and that's an important thing," Councilwoman Judy Lazar said.
Acting on a suggestion from Councilwoman Elois Zeanah, council members asked city staff to research the number of movie screens Thousand Oaks could support.

Business leaders predict health care cost hikes
|| Print |
|Monday, October 29, 2012
An online survey of 300 readers of Oregon Business magazine indicates a majority holds an unfavorable opinion of the federal Affordable Care Act, believing it will increase private health insurance premiums.
Despite that, almost 37 percent of business owners plan to maintain their existing private health insurance plans for employees and another 39 percent are adopting a wait-and-see attitude.
CFM Strategic Communications, a research partner of Oregon Business magazine, posed a series of questions to business leaders who subscribe to the magazine and participate in its monthly Input business survey. The online survey was conducted Oct. 23 and 24.
Federal health care insurance reform has been a mainstay issue in the presidential election that will wrap up next Tuesday. President Barack Obama calls federal health reform essential to the economic security of the nation, while his GOP challenger Mitt Romney calls it an unnecessary and costly intrusion into the national economy and people's lives.
One of the claims made in the presidential debate has been the effect of the Affordable Care Act on businesses that now provide health insurance to their employees. Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan asserted the act would lead businesses to drop coverage. Obama and his supporters insist nothing in the act forces businesses or their employees to change health plans.
Only 9 percent of the 300 respondents said they would drop their current coverage and let employees shop for health insurance on their own. Even fewer – 4 percent – said they would limit employee hours so they didn't qualify for coverage and thus excuse the business from paying a penalty for not covering them.
Nearly half – 46 percent – said they disagreed with claims that a goal of the Affordable Care Act is to "move workers off of employer-provided health insurance plans."
Business dissatisfaction with federal health care reform seems tied to fears it will increase health care insurance premiums and costs for small businesses. Almost 63 percent of respondents said the Affordable Care Act would increase health care costs for small businesses.
More than 40 percent of respondents identified reducing the cost of health care as the greatest health care policy challenge, while 35 percent said the important challenge is coordinating the health care delivery system to improve patient outcomes and reduce costs. Only 9 percent said "ensuring access to quality care for everyone" was the greatest challenge.
Concern was expressed by 57 percent of respondents about mandated benefits, such as contraception coverage, in private health insurance plans, while 33 percent agreed such coverage should be mandated.
When asked their views about the future of health care reform, 48 percent of respondents favored continuing the existing combination of private health care and Medicare and Medicaid, while 17 percent supported switching to a government-managed health care system.
Respondents were less clear about how to reform Medicare. More than 26 percent favored retention of the Medicare guarantee, coupled with effective cost controls, almost 18 percent preferred raising the Medicare eligibility age to 67 and almost 17 percent wanted to include more private health insurance options for Medicare recipients. Fifteen percent supported integrating Medicare into a broader health insurance risk pool.
Results for all questions were similar among those who work with smaller companies (50 or less employees) and those who work with larger companies (51 or more employees).

Originally written on Project Spurs | Last updated 11/21/12
If you thought the Ray Allen-Boston Celtics drama is tops on Doc Rivers' list on his worst negotiating failures, think again. Rivers still recalls as a "bigger failure" from 12 years ago to Rob Bradford from WEEI.com Green Street: "I lost a bigger one, and probably learned a lot of lessons from that. Tim Duncan in Orlando," he said. "We never had him, but I thought we had him turned and we lost him. So I'All always remember that one." It's safe to assume that Rivers probably has flashbacks of that lost 2000 offseason opportunity and a few "what could have been's" lingering around his mind. A team with then free agents Tim Duncan and Grant Hill accompanying a young star in Tracy McGrady may do that to a coach. Grant Hill's professionalism and skills partnered with Duncan's "quiet leadership" and his acceptance of being treated the same way as the last player on the bench will do that to a coach. There's no way of predicting that Hill would still be plagued by injuries throughout his Magic tenure and career if Duncan signed, but the possibility of a healthy Grant Hill would've brought unlimited possibilities in a then weak Eastern Conference. Even with Duncan signing and staying a Spur throughout his career and most likely retiring as one, it worked out well for both sides. Duncan's career has brought him 4 NBA titles, 3 Finals MVP's, 1 regular season MVP, and the title of "Greatest Power Forward of All Time". Rivers' coaching career hasn't been too shabby either. After being let go by the Magic after the 2004 season, he was brought in by the Boston Celtics as their head coach a year later. He had a superstar in Paul Pierce and during the 2007 offseason, he was given Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett in trades that would promise him at least one NBA title in 2008 in a rekindling of a longtime rivalry with the Los Angeles Lakers. When Doc Rivers retires, he can look back at a successful coaching career with no regrets. He'll have at least one more opportunity to think of "what could've been" tonight when the San Antonio Spurs play visitor to a hosting Celtics team at the TD Garden. Tim Duncan knows that 12 years later and will continue to show Rivers what he can still bring to the table as one of the league's top big men, even at 36 years old.

continued Corinne Cerminaro was equally ecstatic that the picture of Buster, who she adopted three years ago, was chosen. Cerminaro explained that while Buster looks goofy and happy in the picture, the first five years of his life were just the opposite.
"He was born in Tennessee in a breeder/ hoarder's house," she said. "The dogs were eventually seized and brought to a kill shelter, where they have gas ovens and stick a bunch of dogs in there to kill them. There are a lot of people around the country that will go and save these dogs, and Buster was saved by a woman from Central New York."
Cerminaro said Buster came to CNY and lived with the woman in Bernhards Bay for a year before she and her husband adopted him.
"Nobody wanted him – he just didn't look healthy," she said. "He looked so horrible, we weren't sure if we should take him, but he jumped right in the car."
The Cerminaros soon discovered that Buster's health problems stemmed from a case of C Difficle, a bacterium that can cause symptoms ranging from diarrhea to life-threatening inflammation of the colon, which she believes he got from eating rotten meat.
"We kept treating him regularly and we still do, but he's much better now," she said. "We're proud of Ken and Buster – he's the cutest dog and Ken made a very special piece of art. Buster is the nicest and sweetest dog, despite everything he's been through. He's a superstar."
