Candlestick Park / SF 49'ers, San Francisco
11 Reviews
11 Reviews
Originally built for the San Francisco Giants (who moved to Pac Bell or SBC Park) in 2000, Monster Park has been the home of the 49ers since 1971. Although Candlestick Park was built for the Giants, the Beatles played their last concert ever there on August 29, 1966, and the NFL's 49ers have won so many Super Bowls since they moved there in 1971 that the sign in the parking lot said, "Home of the Super Bowl Champions," with almost no mention of the primary tenants.
Six World Series games have been played at Candlestick Park, but the most memorable October event there was the World Series game that wasn't played. That was on October 17, 1989, when an earthquake measuring 7.1 on the Richter Scale preempted what was to have been Game 3 of the 1989 Bay Bridge World Series against the Oakland A's. As houses crumbled, highways buckled and bridges collapsed, Candlestick Park stood strong - with 62,000 people packed inside it, none of whom were injured.
Equipment: None unless your a fanatic fan then bring your banners, props, (Baseball Bat?)!
Candlestick Park is no longer the home to the Major League Baseball team the SF Giants. I was lucky enough to have visited in the last year the Giants played there and it was a real interesting experience. The traffic in SF is so bad that we missed the first part of the game so it definitely wasn't a typical MLB stadium visit for me but I'm glad I went. I'd heard complaints about the stadium for years but didn't fully understand what all the fuss was about until I experienced it myself. The stadium is in a bowl shape but unlike a lot of other bowl stadiums (like Busch Stadium I in St. Louis), Candlestick somehow managed to get a very strong wind that blew down through the seats and the field. The parking lot wasn't spared either. Just walking in from my car I thought I'd blow away. Mark Twain once wrote, "The coldest winter I ever spent was summer in San Francisco," so that gives you an idea of the temperature of this wind. Besides keeping the balls from rarely venturing to a home run distance, visitors had to be a hearty lot to sit there for 9 innings. I visited in th 1990s so my memory may be a little fuzzy but, here's my review.
1) Arrival & Departure
Great. I give it a 5 (on a scale of 1-5, 5 being best). Part of this is my fault, I must admit. As previously mentioned, I arrived late and I stayed long after the game was over taking pictures of the stadium and more importantly, me in the stadium, so I didn't have any traffic problems at all. The traffic snarls that prevented me from seeing the entire game weren't the fault of the stadium. Candlestick is outside of the downtown area with a large parking lot surrounding it so the traffic isn't as bad as it would be if it was in the city center.
2) Food
Not bad. I got a souvenir cup honoring the stadium in its final year so that was cool. As far as the hot dogs & other food specifically though, I don't really remember it so it couldn't have been very good or very bad. I give it a 3.
3) Comfort
Well, I've already discussed the wind. Points off for that. Also, while the seats are comfortable and the space between the rows is good, the stands were fairly steep. I give it a 2 overall.
4) Enjoyment
While I was enjoying the fact that I got to finally see Candlestick & do it before the Giants left (and go on my birthday), the stadium itself was rather blah. There weren't any corny between-innings-shows going on, there really wasn't much of anything going on to add to the enjoyment of the game. I give it a 3.
Overall, I give it a 3. I'm glad I was able to go but I'm also glad the Giants got a stadium they don't have to share with the football team.
Be forewarned that it takes a lot of time to get to and from the stadium, especially afterwards. You will make a quick trip down the freeway, eventhough the stadium is very near the freeway, once you get on to the streets, it slows down fast. and you will slowly crawl block to block, until you get there. Leaving is worse, takes forever to get out of the parking lot and again a slow crawl back to the freeway. The neighborhood north of the stadium, is crime ridden and bleak, you will be driving through it. Not sure what a cab will charge but it maybe a large charge because they will get stuck. On the way back its a least 45 minutes to go about 10 blocks to the freeway, then the extra 15-30 minutes to your hotel.
There seems to be all sorts of buses parking there or dropping people off, you may want to check that out, to see if you can hook up with a public bus or get on a charter bus(more fun). SF MUNI, or Golden Gate Transit -- local public services. I am a Raider fan but have been to many games at Candlestick, my dads a Niner fan....If you want raider game Info, I know a lot more about that. the niner stadium is old and hasnt changed much since I was a kid...I remember those same old tile urinals, the broken concrete, the narrow walkways, partly working escalators, bad parking, the old 15inch tvs...that was 30 years ago, SF really need a new stadium.
Check out the Niner website, they may have links to transportation.
The 'Niners are a big part of SF life, and a source of immense pride not only to the city itself, but to all of Norhern California. Watching games in bars is not such a big activity - as most games start at 1 PM at the latest (10 AM if they're playing on the east coast). The best way to see them is live of course, and the parking lot tailgaters are legendary - starting very early in the morning.
Virtually all the seats at the 'Stick are held by season ticket holders, and the few that are available are snapped up early in the season. In past years tickets were virtually impossible to get. However, most of these ticket holders offload the not-so-big game tickets on the internet. Craig's List is great for this. Another avenue is to ask at your local bar; bar owners often get season tickets and keep the good games and sell the others to their patrons. And then there are always the scalpers.
The 'Niners have won 5 Super Bowls over the years, but these days the team is but a shell of its former greatness. But our loss is your gain... tickets should be plentiful. Games against the hated Raiders or the universally despised Dallas Cowboys are always hard to get, but this once untouchable experience is now within your reach!
PS... don't beleve the hype about how awful Candlestick is. While it was a pretty bad place to watch baseball, its actually a great place to watch a football game!
PPS... Candlestick Park is located in one of the worst neighborhoods in the City. Stick to the main freeway exits and don't try to take shortcuts.
This game hosted two of the biggest cheaters ever to play the game. In the Giant's last year of playing here before moving to Pac Bell saw me seeing my first game in San Francisco. Only cheater number 2, Mark Mcguire, hit a home run that day. Cheater number 1, Barry Bonds, did not. Anyway. This is not and was not a good place to see a game. But everyone knows that and that is why and how the Giants finally got their new home.
Can't believe at the time this was only my fifth stadium on the count down.
The 49ers are San Francisco's professional football team in the NFL. The NFL season starts in September and ends in January.
Candlestick Park is one of the historic and more well known stadiums in the United States. Built in the late 1950's, it was designed to withstand the harsh wind and cold of the Bay area. That plan failed though and Candlestick became widely known for it's wild winds and blistering cold.
Equipment: Cold weather clothes!
In years past, this would have been a marquee game; the Miami Dolphins vs. the San Francisco 49'ers. How times have changed...both teams are doing poorly this year due to a number of reasons...but hey, it's my beloved Fins so I have to see them no matter what. Well we made a good choice, because not only were the seats great, but the Fins won the game.
Equipment: If you are going to attend games here, then you should bring a light jacket, sunglasses and a hat to block the sun.
The SF 49ers, if nothing else, have a steadfast following of loyal fans. Tickets to the games are like gold itself. Season tickets are even rarer as it will be years before your name comes up on the list now.
While the National Football League's San Francisco 49ers have fallen off a bit (okay, they suck right now!), that doesn't take away the fact that they were the most dominant team in football throughout the '80s and '90s. They have won a total of five Super Bowl titles and play at 3Com Park.
The 49ers are the only team, ever, to win FIVE Superbowls. We won once, then we repeated. Then we threepeated and then four-and-fivepeated. If you are here in football season, get to Candlestick Park. There are shuttle buses from downtown SF. Do NOT miss the Forty Clove Garlck Chicken. As is appropriate sor SF, Sushi and Chardonay are also available.
Equipment: Candlestick is windy. bring a windcheater.
This was our first American Football game and we both loved it
Equipment: You can buy stuff anywhere with the 49ers on it. We were there in November and it was quite chilly - so wrap up a bit

Making metadata with Leaftag
The experimental Leaftag provides a convenient means for associating files with search categories and other metadata.
Hierarchical directory systems are very useful for organizing files, but they can only help you to a certain point. If you have a collection of digital images, you may be happy with directories that reflect the content categories, such as landscapes, technology, or portraits. Subdirectories can give you more granular categories, such as family, friends, work, and so on, but if you have a large and complex collection, you still might not be able to find the image you are looking for. Search techniques based on metadata provide a better solution. Users can associate keywords with files to speed up the search. Metadata gives a user the ability to create an organizational structure that does not rely on the filesystem.

Iran vs. The Iraqi Awakening
11:45 AM, Mar 4, 2008 • By THOMAS JOSCELYN
Why is Iran going after al Qaeda's enemies in Iraq? A few days ago, Iraqi spymaster Mohammed Abdullah Shahwani accused Iran of trying to sabotage al Qaeda's opposition. "We have information confirming that Iranian secret services have sent agents to sabotage the Sahwa [i.e. the "Awakening"] experience in Iraq," Shahwani said shortly before Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's visit to Iraq. Shahwani "stressed the need for the Iraqi people to be vigilant in facing these activities."
The U.S. Military has apparently confirmed and added supporting details to Shahwani's accusation. According to Adnkronos International (AKI), U.S. military spokesman Adm. Gregory Smith explained: "the American military recently obtained confessions from detainees who are members of the Al-Quds Brigade and other Shia group who have been arrested in various parts of Iraq, who said that they were assigned to carry out armed operations to kill the leaders and the members of the Awakening Councils, in order to destroy this experiment."
So, here we have yet another instance in which Iran's interests coincide with al Qaeda's. Upon reading these latest accusations I cannot help but think of all those who believe that Iran and America have common interests in Iraq. For example, in "Iran: Time for a New Approach," America's foreign policy elite, including Zbigniew Brzezinski and the now current Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates, argued:
What "shared interests" do the United States and Iran have in post-Saddam Iraq? Beats me. As for the "specifics," we are against al Qaeda and Iran is not. That is indeed a profound difference.
At some point we are going to have to recognize that Iran and al Qaeda are allies, no?

Beware The Deadly Deer
Every season presents the potential for paradise or peril.
When it comes to outdoor activities, I abide by the unofficial Post Office credo: Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays my appointed rounds.
I also, as loyal readers may recall, often invoke the adventurer's aphorism: "There's no such thing as bad weather – only inappropriate clothing."
Regarding such self-imposed rules, though, I make exceptions, and in the past week two deterrents conspired to curtail recreation and postpone a planned expedition.
One impediment was a forecast for relentless thunderstorms, which persuaded friends and I to put off a hike considered one of the Northeast's most elegant yet challenging — The Presidential Traverse.
This 23-mile scramble through the White Mountains of New Hampshire crosses the summits of seven peaks in the Presidential Range: Madison, Adams, Jefferson, Washington, Monroe, Eisenhower and Pierce.
Over the years I've scaled all these peaks numerous times in various seasons and conditions, including a foray up 6,288-foot Washington during 30-below-zero, 100-mph whiteout winds – but I'd sooner go above tree line during a blizzard in February than during a July lightning storm.
My friends and I agreed to reschedule the traverse to when skies clear.
The other obstacle to fun and games has not so much been life threatening as quality-of-life-diminishing – a proliferation of mosquitoes from recent torrential rains.
As Day Staff Writer Judy Benson reported last week, and anybody who has set food outdoors recently can attest, we are now enduring a biblical plague of blood-sucking insects. According to the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station field workers collected 32,561 mosquitoes in the 91 traps set throughout the state, about twice the usual number for this time of year and one of the highest weekly totals in the 16-year history of the testing program.
"It could get worse over the next couple of weeks," warned Philip Armstrong, the station's associate scientist warned.
They wretched pests have made it so unpleasant I've reluctantly scaled back on some of my favorite pastimes and cut short other activities.
Before the explosion I typically would spend hours almost every day weeding the garden, cutting firewood, building walls, hacking at bittersweet and other outdoor pursuits, but now I have to don long pants, a long shirt or jacket and head net, garments particularly uncomfortable in 90-plus-degree temperatures and 90-plus-percent humidity.
I've tried various types of repellent clothing with limited success, and prefer not to slather myself with insecticides, figuring I have precious few brain cells to spare, so am left with two choices, neither particularly appealing: Swat, suffer, sweat and curse, or simply hunker down indoors.
So far mosquitoes haven't interrupted my daily runs because the winged creatures are not inclined to give chase, but we're approaching peak deer and horse fly season and those miserable bugs can zip along faster than my race pace. What's more, they use razor-sharp jaws to cut through the skin and then inject anticoagulant saliva so they can suck blood for several minutes.
All we need now are white-faced hornets to complete the trifecta of stinging insects. These are the pit bulls of the insect world, and every year I manage to get stung at least once by blundering into a nest.
You can swat a mosquito or deer fly, but if you kill a white-faced hornet, I'm told, it sends out a chemical signal equivalent to a cavalry call for reinforcements.
The sting is excruciatingly painful in two stages. At first it feels like being shot with a pellet gun, and then like being injected with a horse hypodermic needle filled with sulfuric acid. After one such bite my wrist and forearm swelled up to such Popeye-like proportions I couldn't even strap on a watch for a week.
White-faced hornets are like fighter jets, amazingly fast and agile, and have struck while I've raced along on my bicycle.
I guess that leaves swimming as the only activity in which you can reliably avoid assault during these insect-infested periods – except …
Years ago, friends and I embarked on a multi-day canoe trip in Canada that unfortunately coincided with the height of black fly season. Black flies have been known to cause moose to collapse while desperately trying to escape, and there are undocumented claims of similarly large creatures exsanguinated by the blood-sucking insects.
Diving into the lake seemed to provide our only relief – until we surfaced covered in leeches.
"You win!" I cried, as we frantically packed gear and raced home.
You can't fight Mother Nature, especially when her soldiers include such formidable foes.
Every season presents the potential for paradise or peril.
While biking through the hills and along the shore of Mystic and Stonington the other day with my friend Spyros "Spy" Barres and son Tom, I began to regret that I neglected to bring along a water bottle.
It's finally happened: I've grown so accustomed to the roar of the leaf blower that I now longer recoil and curse at the first sonic blast of fall, but simply shake my head and sigh.

If you think you are better off with bad connection, you're either high, fishing for attention, or just REALLY REALLY bad.

Yap, Wireless with very bad packets losses. Naturally you are not updating your position to the server. This is where others are having very difficultly shooting you when you are teleporting about in their view in real time but in theater view, your movement is smooth because you are the winner. Hence, it only render from your view.
When you have packet loss, others are just seeing you from the lag compensation (rendering) where you are rendered to others. It is not your actual position, that's why they die faster and sometimes they are not aiming correctly in your view. In most cases you already see them before they see you.
So what if you are using 100 down/ 50 up. Your wireless is helping you.
Let's revert your post and change some words...
the game is broke all you people saying its fine are the ones who run full teams all the time
What you meant is: The community is broke and all you people saying it's fine are the ones who run full teams all the time.
The player are broken as hell, the game is just fine, i experienced close to no lag at all, screw that 1 second delay, i never ever saw that happen in my life, i never saw an hackers, barely see any boosters but it happens, alot of glitchers on zombie but it's life... So yeah, the game runs fine, but the community is a broken piece of lil 10 yrs old kids Tryhard that just love to screw the game around... My internet is 1 mb up to 10 mb down... how the HELL do i never felt any lag then? It's not such a good connection, i'm rarely the host of any game, but even when i am, i never hear ppl complain about lag unless they live damn far away, yet again the selection of player i get during a game is rarely in europe or far away... I'm a frenchy canadian, and all i hear is US players laughing at my french speaking or my tryhard english talking accent... as for the game it's fine, the community is BS. I'll stop repeating myself, but community kinda sux
Thanks. Now I understood that one !
And before we get the tin foil hat wearers steaming in saying 'you get no lag because your internet sucks, right side of lag comp blah de blah de blah', I have a 35mb fibre connection (even though the disparity of our bandwidth ultimately means nothing), and dont have horrendous lag problems or suffer host disadvantage.
I would surmise that both me and Necaross have stable, clean connections.
Americans taking the mick out of your accent? That's funny because I'm sure theirs sound funny to Europeans or whatever.
D'aww poor Canadian, people giggle at your accent.
Grow a spine
you wrote before as befour and moving as moveing, your point is invalid.
but can I suggest you expand your friends list and get a mic if not already and you too can get the host.
the world is a harsh place out there. Do what you can for yourself.
Well my connection is clearly not as good as your, and i'm kinda rambo in MP so i die ALOT and still i enjoy it Screw camping Anyway, i have felt lag about 3 times max since i started bo2 like 6months or so ago, so i guess you guys are just REALLY unlucky with all that damn lag LOL
i just give up moaning now nothing as been done about it so it never will ill just have to take the lag as it is or just play something els
typical fan boy ! go defend your country insted of a company p*ick

Hello. I am a real estate broker in Southeast Michigan and actually have a book coming out on June 15th. It is a compilation of a few dozen agents across the country who each were asked to write a chapter. Mine speaks to the importance of passion and ethics in the business and how agents should represent their clients. The book will be sold on Barnes and Noble and they are going to provide us some marketing plugs for free give-aways as of June 1st to encourage orders the day the book is released. I actually didn't use a ghost-writer, and it was the first such project for me, so hopefully it is well-received. All proceeds go to charity.
Obviously I would get much more mileage out of the project proposed below then just this, "giveway," as it will be used for numerous applications, but I would like a short eBook that covers the best tips, tricks, and technologies for a seller to implement that will maximize their return and truly package their home as a product for sale!

With fuel prices rising, you might be looking for ways to save money at the pump.
Drivers are always looking for ways to alleviate the pain at the gasoline pump.
Some simple steps can make a big difference in your fuel economy so you can save money and get the most out of every gallon.
Start with the type of tire you have. Thanks to a mix of Mother Nature and clever eco-technology, there's a new tire that uses the oil from orange peels to create a special rubber compound that makes it more fuel efficient and last longer.
"The mixture of orange oil and rubber in our new AVID Ascend improves grip and tread life without giving up other gas-saving properties like low rolling resistance," says Pat Keating, manager of technical engineering for Yokohama Tire Corp. "Orange oil, a sustainable resource, is the differentiator."
Keating explains that low rolling resistance (LRR) tires improve fuel efficiency because they provide less friction as the tire rolls down the road. Less energy is wasted, which is good for eco-conscious and budget-wary consumers who want to maximize their mileage.
Here are some of Keating's other money-saving tips:
Keep your tires properly inflated: Once a month, when the tires are cold (at least three to four hours after the vehicle has been driven), check tire pressure with a reliable tire gauge. Be sure the valve stems have a plastic or metal cap to keep dirt out and seal against leakage.
Slow down: All vehicles lose fuel economy at speeds above 55 mph. Driving 55 mph instead of 75 mph can reduce fuel cost by 25 percent. Driving 65 mph instead of 75 mph can save 13 percent.
Turn it off: Turn off your engine if you're stopped for more than a couple of minutes. Fuel efficiency savings of up to 19 percent are possible by not letting your engine idle too long while stationary. This might include going inside the bank instead of the service window, or going inside the restaurant to place your order instead of using the drive-through.
You're not being timed: Taking off from a stoplight like a drag racer and then slamming on the brakes to stop consumes gas at a faster rate. Accelerating less and slowing moderately can increase fuel efficiency by more than 30 percent.
Also, many traffic lights are timed for efficient traffic flow, so you'll hit more green lights in a row by maintaining the speed limit.
Tired tires: Tires must be replaced when the tread is worn down to 2/32 of an inch.
An easy test: place a penny into a tread groove. If part of Abraham Lincoln's head is covered by the tread, you're driving with the proper amount of tread. If you can see all of his head, you should buy a new tire.
Page 2 of 2 - In the rotation: Tires should be rotated at least every 6,000 to 8,000 miles, and the alignment should be checked once a year. Misaligned tires can cause the car to scrub, which lowers mileage and causes unnecessary tire wear.

Makes ALL the difference in the world!
Electrolyte Stamina Power Pak review posted by Karen on 9/23/13
I had been experiencing excruciating debilitating muscle cramps in my legs, calves, and hands. I was told by my Dr. I was low on Electrolytes. I accidently found these packets and they have made ALL the difference in the world. I use between 6 to 8 packets a day with water and MIO. If I do not use them the cramping returns almost immediately. I'm hooked and am highly recommending them. I've tried most flavors but Lemon-Lime is my favorite. I'm SO happy I finally found a product that works!!!

Don't send your old bike to the dumpster! Give it a facelift and a new life by turning your old bike into a planter for your garden. The DIY Bike Planter Garden Craft is a chic and rustic craft that will brighten up your backyard garden.

In return for their No. 18 overall draft choice and an $18.34 million contract that includes a $9.7 million guarantee, pass-rushing outside linebacker and defensive end Robert Ayers gave the Broncos zero sacks in his just-completed rookie season.
To Ayers' credit, he didn't equate his rookie year in the NFL to a redshirt freshman year at the University of Tennessee.
"Not really," Ayers said. "When you get drafted where I got drafted, a lot is expected of you. There were a lot of things I didn't do right and a lot of things that I learned. All I can do now is worry about next season and getting better."
We use Ayers not to pick on him, but to make a point. The Broncos, in putting their plans together for the 2009 season, could not have envisioned so little production out of their rookie draft class.
Running back Knowshon Moreno was the best of the group, but as the No. 12 overall draft choice, more was expected than his 3.8 yards per carry.
Fourth-round pick David Bruton was a special-teams stalwart, and second-round safety Darcel McBath was promising until suffering a season-ending injury.
But second-round picks Alphonso Smith, a defensive back, and tight end Richard Quinn took longer than expected to adjust to the pro game.
Broncos coach Josh McDaniels admitted Monday during his season-ending news conference that his organization was at a disadvantage in preparing for his first draft last year. He wasn't hired until Jan. 12.
He had to first hire a coaching staff, then evaluate the roster he inherited, then evaluate the free-agent market, and then prepare for the April draft.
There was too much to do in too little time.
"This year's draft should be totally different for us," McDaniels said. "We changed our system in the middle of the entire process last year. We didn't get an opportunity to have a full season for using the system."
Now the scouts and personnel are familiar with the grading scale, and what kind of player that would be considered specific to McDaniels' system.
One year in, McDaniels' first draft class must come a long way in Year 2.
"There's always things you're going to be happy with and there's always things with rookies from their first year to their second year you're hoping for a dramatic change in terms of their improvement," McDaniels said. "They all know what the National Football League is about. I met with a number of them today individually. They're no longer rookies. And we need to expect them to do some different things that weren't expected of them this year."

This is the exact method use for earning online by many bloggers and internet marketers and eventually failed after trying couple of months and they leave the hope of earning money online, its easy to earn money online but you need to have have patience, its going to take time before you start earning online but once you get the idea, it will be a lot easier to you,
You bravely showed the bitter realities about blogging struggle and instead of just putting lot of motivation in newbies to make them move ahead first you made them realize the ground realities and then push them ahead to acheive their goals. Very few probloggers showed the other side of the coin that is why whoever knows a little about interenet must venture in this field but hardly one percent of them stay put and make a space in blogosphere. Very informative and truthful post I read after quite a long time.
Realistic post. I really have to constantly coach myself so I don't jump from one thing to the other.thank you for the helpful suggestions.
It's almost information overload really. There are so many ways to make money in this world, but they all take time. Everyone is so busy looking for a way to do it quickly that they don't just stick with a plan. If they did just stick with it, they would finally make money.

However, if you (the parent), a teacher, a doctor, or other service-provider have a concern that should be considered immediately, the IEP can be revised as many times as necessary, provided that all parties agree that an evaluation of the IEP (and possibly, your child) should happen. If your child is not meeting the benchmarks set out by the IEP, you should ask that the IEP be evaluated or revised. If your doctor sees that your child has another condition that is not currently addressed by the IEP, you should also ask that an evaluation or revision take place. There are numerous reasons for assking for a new IEP. Use your discretion or ask your case manger whether a new IEP meeting should be held.

"You are not beautiful. You are smart."
My mother used to always tell me this, or a form of it, even drastically act upon making sure I knew that looks weren't everything, so that I would grow up to be a strong woman. Here are some examples:
– – – – –
When I was 5 years old and started receiving compliments on my beautiful long raven colored hair, my mother and her sister decided to chop it off. "You wouldn't want to waste your energy growing hair," they would justify to me. "All the calcium you consume should go into your teeth and bones." I would get many styles of short modern haircuts that would make up for not having my once long flowing hair. I first got the Mia Farrow haircut of her Rosemary's Baby character, because the movie happened to be showing on television and it made an impression on my mother and aunt. I would also get countless reinventions of the Dorothy Hamill Olympic-winner "wedge/mushroom" haircut. I looked more like Shaggy or, worse, Velma, from the television cartoon series, Scooby Doo, Where Are You? Apparently Dorothy hated it, too. In the 1980s, I became a Sheena Easton hairstyle victim, with the top portion of my hair permed purposefully while the sides and back were cut super short. The kids at school would mistake me for a boy from the age of 5 until the age of 15, when my hairbrush and comb were taken away from me by my mother.

"You are too dark," my grandmother would tell me.
"Don't listen to her. You are beautiful," my father would tell me. "You have my skin."
"She looks like a farmer girl who worked out in the rice fields all day," my mother would chime in. "Why can't you be like your brother and sister?"
My mother was referring to the porcelain skin tone her half-Chinese heritage blessed my siblings with.
"Stop it," my father would tell her.
"No. She needs to know that she will have to rely on being a good girl who is smart, nice and does good things for others, because that's all she will ever have. People will always look at her and think she's dirty, ugly and so she'll have to overcompensate elsewhere."

"You are too tall and skinny," my mother's friends would often tell the 8 year old me.
"Yes, and that is why she is giving herself a hunchback," my mother would reply. "Stand up straight, and be grateful for not being as short as these women's children." (Insert Dragon Lady Fire Eyes darting flames to her friends here).
"She'll never marry. No one will ever want to marry someone who will grow to be as gigantic as a streamliner."
Jump forward to when I become 12 years old.
Christy, one of the mother's best frienemies, showed my parents photos of me taken in front of the church altar after her daughter's First Communion.
"She takes great pictures. With that smile and her height, she can become a model."
"Hmm, I don't see it," my mother responds.
"I do," my father replies. "I've always seen it."
"That's because she looks like you," my mother replies. "She has a boy's body. She has no shape, has no boobs and she doesn't like dresses. Ugh, just look at her hair. It is too straight and lifeless. Christy, can you do something to it? She looks like a boy."
Christy then shows me a picture of Madonna and promises me to give me the same haircut.
She doesn't. Instead, I get a really tight poodle perm. I don't look like a boy anymore, but I don't look 12 years old, either.

This went on all my life.
Unsurprisingly, hearing all this throughout my childhood helped shaped my self-image, the distortion of which I carried with me throughout my adult life.
While I became a college graduate and supplemented my adult self by becoming an office worker, coffee barista and fit model, I also became the pleaser, the quiet wallflower, the overcompensating "good worker" with no where-with-all when it came to my adult pain and frustration.
I never knew when to walk away when a boyfriend, for instance, treated me badly. I didn't want to walk away because I felt lucky that someone wanted to be with me. This went on six times before I finally met my husband of almost 12 years.
I always made myself available to the girls of my barhopping days who would ask me to go with them to the bars so they would "hook up" with guys or "get too drunk to drive" so that I could be there to help them, just in case they needed saving.
I quietly endured sexual harassment at the workplace for 2 years because I had to "please" my boss and "service" his clients with the great office work I was paid to do. I mistook the appreciation of these clients, who were sexually harassed victims themselves, for love. I also mistook the lawyer's advances as some self-imposed mind-game, that somehow my intelligence and goody-two-shoes demeanor would always get me through.

I finally decided to stop being a victim of my childhood and take control of my adult life.
I decided to take one year off from dating.
I decided to end friendships with the women who refused to spend quality time with me outside of the bar or club scene.
I decided to walk away from my job, even when I had no backup plan, in the hopes that things would work out somehow.
– – – – –
I'm ok, right?
At first, no. I was alone. It was so lonely, and scary, to be alone. The silence was deafening.
Solitude became my saving grace. I learned to love myself without anyone propping me up. I learned to love even my imperfections, because no one is perfect. I learned to love the silence of being alone.
I read, took classes, hung out at coffee shops and bookstores to engage in small talk with strangers. I also buried myself into soul searching.
More destructive behavior would ensue in my romantic relationships, my family dynamics and in my work life after my year of solitude before I got my act together and met my husband.
He didn't make me do things. By being himself, and by teaching through example, he showed me how to be an honest, healthy, unapologetic, strong, self-loving person.

Fast forward to my wedding day.
I am to marry the man of my dreams, the man who loves all of me.
I am elated that 115 people have decided to attend my wedding, two-thirds of which were my guests.
My best friend's husband, who is a hairdresser, is styling my now long-flowing raven hair. It looks great.
My cousin, sister and Matron of Honor help me put on the dress that my mother commissioned one of the neighborhood seamstress to make.
"You are beautiful," my cousin exclaims.
"Breathtaking," my Matron of Honor exclaims.
"Your boobs are still too small. I had the seamstress pad the dress especially, to make up for your problem, but I guess that problem will never be fixed," my mom opines.
I look at my sister, who reacts to my mother's statement and, coupled with her own disdain for being forced to be part of my wedding party, by smiling smugly at me, offering no saving words that my father would often give me in time of my mother's/grandmother's/aunt's attacks.
The happy bride was silenced. The little girl of my past, along with her perceived shortcomings that I supposedly banished years ago during my year of silence and solitude, suddenly came back to haunt me.
The wedding was beautiful. Everyone had a great time. I married him and was lucky to be surrounded by people who mattered to us.
All the congratulatory words, well wishes and compliments to the bride, however, fell onto my deaf ears.
I tried my hardest to quiet the little girl from the past. "Not now," I would tell myself. "This is supposed to be the happiest day of my life."
She refused to be silenced. She would cajole me into looking down at my dress, taunt me whenever my dress strap would fall off my shoulders, would point to my husband's ex-girlfriend who attended the reception and say, "Look, even she has boobs bigger than yours."
And then he took my hand.
"Dance with me," he whispered.
Nothing else mattered. We were alone, together.
– – – – –
I severed ties with my family soon after the wedding. It was drastic, dramatic, hurtful, but it was necessary for me to embrace the little girl of my past, and to help her heal from the perverted confidence building of my childhood.
Six years would pass before my firstborn came into our lives. He would become the bridge that would lead me back to my family.
My grandmother has since passed, but her daughters – – my mother and aunt – – are still with us. They no longer offer their opinions about my shortcomings, and they do not say hurtful things to my husband and my children.
I suppose we all learned from the six year silence.

There's been a lot of talk recently about not telling their daughters that they're pretty. This blog post points out that other attributes outside of appearances should come to the forefront when speaking with impressionable little girls:
What's wrong with "You're such a smart girl"? "You're so creative"? "You're so good at drawing"? "You know so many words"? Sure, tell her she's pretty, because she is… because all children are. But don't leave it at that.
The blog post goes further, that:
There are enough messages lurking out there in the world for our little girls about appearance, prettiness, skinniness. There's enough emphasis on it in the media and in society and in everything they'll see and hear and read. Must they hear it from their family, their friends, their role models, that what matters most to us, and therefore to them, is the curl in their hair or the length of their eyelashes?
While the context of the blog post differs vastly from my own childhood experiences, the message, along with the readers' comments that followed, resonated with me. Why can't we celebrate ALL that is great about a little girl, beauty included?
I then happen upon this open letter from a daughter to her mother. It was the insight I needed to becoming more cognizant of what my mother was going through, what I have become because of her own insecurities, and how I have the power to break the chain now. It was the slap in the face I needed so that the next time my family and I are at the beach, I will finally remove my harem pants and chambray shirt to expose the Linea Nigra on my belly that never faded, along with the stretch marks and cellulite on my thighs. Because it is not just the 41 year old that has arrived, it is the little girl in me finally owning up to her history and choosing to grow up and embrace the pain and welcome the self-acceptance that would soon follow, so that my own daughter will never own the ill-placed shortcomings of the women that came before her.
