First Mother Help Needed in SD: No Confidentiality Was Promised
Hold on there, ladies and gentlemen! I was not "promised" confidentiality, it was forced on me if I wanted to use the state system of adoption. Anonymity from my child was the biggest problem I had with agreeing with the adoption (other than the sense I was doing something against nature, and I was), and I argued with my social worker for weeks over this provision of the law.
Surrender papers carry no such "promise." In fact, the great majority of women long to be united with their children, if only to learn what happened to them and that they prospered.
Letters and emails are needed to reach the SD legislators who are apparently rethinking this bill, and want to add a contact veto. If you are a first mother, please please take the time to email them.
Just copy the information below into your email and let them know the promise of confidentiality is a crock! And that it has been used to keep records sealed in the face of all evidence to the contrary. A mother does not need or want "privacy" from her offspring. And should she be so heartless as to desire it, the adopted person's wishes in the name of human decency must trumps her. Her right to privacy should not trample another person's right to be able to answer the most basic question of all: Who Am I?
Of course it would be better if we had a hundred South Dakota mothers emailing, but let's let them know, wherever you are from, that a right to "privacy" does not included anonymity from your offspring. And if you are in contact with other first mothers, please urge them to write. The time is now.
To: Representatives Nygaard, Cutler and Dreyer
Senators Jerstad, Dempster and Adelstein
Dear Members of the South Dakota Legislature,
Here are the names and addresses:
Eugenics and the theater, coming up on Saturday.
3 comments :
I wasn't 'promised' confidentuality (not that I wanted it) but I was told I 'would never be allowed to search' and my son 'would be too happy with his adoptive family to want to search' for me. If I could meet the witch who told me that I would be laughing in her face as my son did search for me, the law did change on searching and I found my son without actively searching. If she is dead then I would quite happily dance on her grave. Adoption affected both our lives and I am just thankful we are in each others lives now.ReplyDelete
Hannah, please take the time and send a short message to the folks listed...PLEASE.ReplyDelete
We welcome comments from all, and appreciate letting us know how you relate to adoption when you leave your first comment.
COMMENTS ARE MODERATED. Our blog, our decision whether to publish or not. We are trying to find a way to end the endless anonymous comments, which drive many of us crazy. Pick a name! Any name. Choose the NAME/URL selection. You do not need a URL. Your name does not have to be your name IRL though we appreciate those who do, and we understand due to the sensitive nature of our subject, many will prefer to use a nom de plume. Okay with us, but the endless Anons are tiresome for everyone. If you post as "anonymous" you run the risk of not being posted.
We try to be timely but we do have other lives.
For those coming here from Networked Blogs on Facebook, if it does not allow you to make a comment, click the "x" on the gray "Networked Blogs" tool bar to exit out of that frame and it should then let you comment.
THOSE WHO WISH TO LEAVE LINKS PLEASE WRITE MORE ABOUT IT THAN SIMPLY LEAVE THE LINK--TELL US WHY WE SHOULD GO THERE--AND ALSO KNOW THAT YOU CANNOT COPY AND PASTE FROM LINKS. We are unlikely to post comments that consist of nothing more than a link and the admonition to go there.

Home ⋅ Thank You Notes and Photo Baby Thank You Cards ⋅ Thank You Cards for Boys ⋅ Baby ⋅ 0 Photos ⋅ Flat
"I like gender neutral cards that i can use for the whole family. This is perfect for notes and thank you cards we use throughout the year for our kids' teachers, preschool teacher assistants, parties, etc. I do wish there is a bigger size also available."
"These are high-quality thank you cards. They arrived on-time and look so sweet. I can't wait to use them to send my appreciation for baby shower gifts. There isn't much room on the front to write, but the back has enough space. Instead of using my name at the bottom, I simply edited the card to say "Thank You." The colors are exactly as they appear. I would recommend this other customers."
"Tiny Prints has so many great design choices! These cards were just what I was looking for... cute, but not too baby-ish to use as thank you cards for my toddler for a long time. Simple design and great colors for a little boy."
"These thank you cards are wonderfully adorable! Cute enough for baby but stylish at the same time. I preferred my son's full name as opposed to just his first name -- turned out great! Excited to write thank you's for him!"
"I just bought these as thank you cards that will come from my two sons. Their names look darling printed atop the cards- I had them done in chocolate rather than black ink. The colors of the dots are cheery and, as with all TP products, elegant but still youthful (without being cheesy or chintzy at all). Very nice!"

Life Enhancement, Ginkgo Concentrate, 90 Capsules
By Life Enhancement7 Reviews
Expiration Date:?Dec 2018
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Shipping Weight

In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package.

As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

I take this with JARROW MEGA PC-35
Very good herb from very promising company. I have bought it to my 65 years young mommy, who has brain tumor and other health issues. We believe that this particular herb done miracles to her health state previously. Lately she was not using this herb, because was using other good stuff, but now she'll return to ginkgo. She says that in autumn time her health is a little big worse, so she needs this herb again. I wish her health.

As FAIR's magazine Extra! has noted (9-10/08, 11-12/07), it's often hard to tell from reading the U.S. press that polls have consistently shown a clear majority of Iraqis favor a withdrawal of American troops from their country.
Today the New York Times published two articles offering Iraqi perspectives on the significance of Obama's electoral victory. A report about a recent election party at the new U.S. embassy in Baghdad noted that the the fortress-like embassy, which cost over half a billion dollars, "suggested a degree of permanence to the American presence here that at least some of the Iraqi guests seemed to find comforting." The article went on to quote a member of the U.S. backed al-Maliki government:
"The size of this embassy and the number of employees who will occupy it are a sign of the American government's commitment to democracy in Iraq," said Hoshyar Zebari, Iraq's foreign minister. He did not remember the details of the original lease agreement for the land, he said, "but it was a very long lease."
The only Iraqi perspectives included in today's Times feature on responses to the U.S. presidential election from around the world were similarly unrepresentative:
In the normally querulous Union of Iraqi Writers club in Baghdad, there was a rare unanimity among the secular, the religious, Shiites, Sunnis and former regime loyalists: While the election of the first black man to the highest office in the United States was admirable, Mr. Obamaâ┚¬Ã¢"ž¢s promise to start withdrawing troops from Iraq was a cause for great concern.
At the club's restaurant and bar, which has survived the wrath of religious extremists over the past few years, Daoud al-Rahmani, a self-styled poet, writer and satirist, gathered at one table with two of his colleagues for an early lunch. They drank beer and nibbled from little bowls filled with marinated fava beans served as hors d'oeuvres
"There will be chaos if they leave," Mr. Rahmani said. "We are still in disagreement. Sectarianism is ingrained in us now."
No one in either article represented the viewpoint of the vast majority of Iraqis who want an end to the foreign occupation of their nation.

Respond to Review of Manna Vegetarian Restaurant
by mungmung
Review: I was in Vientiane a couple weeks ago, and my friends recommended this new vegetarian restaurant that just opened in October 2012. So I decided to check it out, and I was delighted! The staff was courteous, and helpful. Lucky for me, my friends speak Lao! But despite the language barrier, it was easy to order, just point at the buffet and you get what you want! The portions were generous. I enjoy spicy food, so I enjoyed the Laos style dishes. You could ask for white or brown rice, which was great! They had a nice selection of cool drinks (bottled water, and boxed juices & soy milk / rice milk, from Thailand in a cooler). They have a western-style toilet, in the back, through the kitchen! It's a smoke free environment, in a family friendly part of town. I would recommend Manna Vegetarian Restaurant, and when I come back to Vientiane, I'll be back to try other Lao vegetarian dishes! If they only had cooking classes . . .

Hey ladies. So, what's you and your DH's fav. position now that we are this far along? We can still do it missionary, (I don't know how, but it works lol) and we switch it up sometimes but lately my pelvic bone has been hurting too much to do more then spread my legs LMAO (sorry if tmi but this is a sex thread lol).
None! We are both so miserable when it comes to sex. Neither of us are comfortable and there's always some sort of "issue". It's annoying. I'm always saying ouch and he tells me my stomach is in the way. I give up.
Any position. I just wish I was even getting any

ugh is right.... we were okay with me on top for a while.... but now my belly's even too big for that...it gets in the way and is so frustrating for me! so I think it's going to be doggy style from here on out... not very loving and intimate, unfortunately... I do like being able to see him! but hey...
LOL don't be embarrassed Beth! I like that one too
On top, which is getting a little tougher. We can start out missionary, but it's hard on hubby's back, so we switch...I miss him lying on top but soon enough. I told him the other day that in a few weeks, he's going to be put to work to speed baby along. haha.

Host a Knitting Party {and invite me}!
About four months ago, I read The Friday Night Knitting Club– and I often still think about that story with the cute characters and that charming little Manhattan yarn shop. No, I do not know how to knit- but ever since I read this book I have been dying to learn how! Perhaps I will have the spare time in the future to learn but for know why not just throw a knitting- themed party? This would be a cute party theme for a birthday of someone you loves to knit, for Mother's Day, or just to surprise Grammy.
Check out this adorable knitting basket cake created by the masters at Cake Journal!
This is just the most adorable cake I have seen! Loving the giant balls of yarn. Visit Cake Journal and find out how to make a knitting basket cake yourself.
For your party decor, the gang at the DIY Network has a step by step tutorial on how to make over sized yarn centerpieces which would go perfectly with your knitting basket cake!
For a look into a real chic knitting party, check out the knitting party plan over at Yum Sugar.
And for a little blog love, I came across this knitting blog Wool and the Gang and can't get enough of it- even though I am a wanna-be-someday-knitter… I still think it rocks!
Oh and during my knitting party inspiration search, I discovered that there is now a sequel to the book that started my infatuation with knitting- so I will be heading out to pick up my copy of Knit Two and get my "fix."

Contreversial idea to address p & r!
Posted 14 March 2014 - 06:34 PM
with all local teams in that region acting as feeder
teams in an elite 1 type league. Could this work in
What about teams such as West Yorks, East
Yorks, Greater Manchester, Merseyside/
Chesire,Cumbria,London etc competing in a
competition with no p & r. Club teams could still
exist in a national/regional structure so no one
would have to merge, and these teams could act as feeder clubs to the their regional side which would give squad players and young players a competive competiton to play when not selected.
Would this help create an elite structure and increase standards?
Would fans support this?
Would it be more attractive to TV, sponsors, media?
Is it a non starter?

one question .
which ground would the west Yorkshire club play at .
we all know that only the fans from the original club at the ground chosen would turn up for most games . I mean can you imagine cas or Bradford fans turning up to support a team based at headingley . if based at the only other ground in west yorks fit for purpose Huddersfield I doubt many would go there either
does life get any better .

What would be the best structure to follow?
3 x 8, 2 up 2 down, franchising, p and r on a 3 year cycle, other suggestions?
Posted 16 March 2014 - 08:12 PM
just have two leagues of ten playing each other three times with one up one down all we need.

18 games leaves more space for internationals and world club. NRL could also reduce weekly rounds.

Why don't we wait and see how 3x8 system goes before talking of a follow up structure. It's not even started yet!
I get the impression that this idea would fail miserably! It was just an idea as an alternative i'm not even convinced myself, especially after the responses!
What would be the best structure to follow?
3 x 8, 2 up 2 down, franchising, p and r on a 3 year cycle, other suggestions?

It has worked well in Welsh RU so why not?
Has it worked well in Welsh RU? Take the national team out of the equation and it seems to me their domestic scene is getting weaker year on year.
"Rugby League is rugby in the simplest form in the sense that it's about great defence, great tackling technique, good handling, good passing, catching and great kicking."

Whether it's 3 x 8 or 2 x 10 I think more money should have been allocated to teams outside the top tier. This is the only way p and r will work because teams would then be able to move between the 2 leagues without major upheaval each time.
The current SKY TV money could be spread 24 equal ways for 2 x 12 at £1.3M per club per year.
The top clubs of the 24 clubs turn over over £6M the bottom clubs in the 24 turn over less that £1M.
Promotion and relegation would still likely most depend on who has rich backers and who doesn't.
No Different to now, try as many permutations and financing of the exact same thing applied to the exact same clubs and you probably get little variance.
Except that top players wages will be cut.

Insecure Love Interest
A form of Heroic Self-Deprecation where a character thinks they're not good enough for their Love Interest. They may think this while they're actually in a relationship with said person (in which case they may break it off "for the other person's good"), or they may avoid pursuing them in the first place. Done well, it can provide conflict, as well as maybe Character Development. Done badly, it can come across as Wangst, especially if the character has no reason to feel like this, or worse, is seen as disingenuously fishing for compliments. Related to I Want My Beloved to Be Happy. Also compare I Can't Believe a Guy Like You Would Notice Me. If this causes a breakup, they may say It's Not You, It's Me (and really mean it).
open/close all folders
Anime and Manga
- Belldandy from Ah! My Goddess is this way towards Keiichi Morisato. Numerous times things happen that make it seem as if he's losing interest in, or cheating on her, and she more or less ends up asking if she's good enough. And every single time, he promises her that she is, considering the wish he made to her in the first episode/chapter ("for a girl like her to stay with him forever" after being rejected by another woman), he doesn't intend to betray her trust.
- Keiichi himself is probably an even better example of this, particularly in the anime. He's quite aware that he is — especially in the beginning — an unattractive loser, and that by staying with him, Bell is taking a big step down. He often feels guilty for tethering her to him when he knows she could find someone better. The fact that both sides in this relationship are like this is one of the major contributors to the series' infamous Cannot Spit It Out dynamic.
- Belldandy also believes that she doesn't deserve Keiichi because she has been aware from day one of their relationship that Heaven messed with Keiichi's mind to keep him from consummating their relationship.
- In Baka and Test: Summon the Beasts despite how much he may deny feelings for and run away from Shouko and her advances on a frequent basis, when Yuuji actually talks about his relationship with her, he makes it out like it's all his fault that she's fallen in love with a worthless guy like him.
Yuuji: I want to set her free.
- Which hilariously backfires and only causes her to fall in love with him even more anytime he tries to convince her that she deserves a better guy than him.
- In Mayo Chiki!, due to the nature of her situation, Subaru, who is a girl disguised as a boy, is constantly worried that she either isn't good enough for Jiro, or that he's either dating, or likes someone else. Despite that, Jiro always tries to reassure her.
- Snow gives hints of this in MÄR. Aside from the occasional jealousy, it doesn't go anywhere. It's heavily implied she hooks up with Ginta at the end anyway.
- Naruto seems to display this trope to an extent. While not in a romantic relationship with Sakura, he states to Sai that he could not tell her how he feels because he couldn't keep his promise to her in bringing back Sasuke, implying that he feels unworthy of her. Though he's also a I Want My Beloved to Be Happy character.
- Hinata is a more straight example. She has been in love with Naruto since they were kids, but her crippling shyness and perceived weakness prevented her from ever pursuing him. She even calls her choice to try and save him from Pein an act of selfishness. In turn, Kiba implies that Naruto feels very much the same, which is why he always tries to act so cool around her. Eventually, they move past this; the epilogue reveals they married and had two children.
- This trope almost defines Kisa Shouta's angst and feelings toward Yukina Kou in Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi.
- In Sekirei, Minato is plagued by the feeling that he isn't good enough for his Balanced Harem. He calls himself "unreliable", and worries that he's a worthless guy because of his failure to get into university twice, as well as being an Extreme Doormat. Rather than allow this to consume him or damage their relationships, he resolves to become someone worthy of their love and trust, someone that will believe in himself enough to fully return their feelings. He declares this to them, and asks them to wait for him until then.
- Kenshin Himura from Rurouni Kenshin ofter wonders if he's good enough for his girlfriend Kaoru. It's rather justified in his case due to his Dark and Troubled Past.
- In Fairy Tail Jellal, after his Heel-Face Turn, firmly believes that he has no right to be with Erza after what he's done, and even goes out of his way to lie about having a fiance to get around the fact that she's in love with him. All this in spite of the fact that he was Brainwashed and Crazy at the age of eleven.
- Juvia becomes this after she takes down the Necromancer Keyes, by extension killing the Gray's father. Instead of getting angry, Gray holds her and tearfully thanks her for freeing his father.
- Setsuna from Mahou Sensei Negima! spends a considerable amount of time angsting over how she feels unworthy of her Ojou-sama Konoka.
- In Detective Conan:
- Yumi's ex-boyfriend Haneda is still in love with her, but believes that he is unworthy of Yumi until he can win all seven professional shogi title tournaments.
- Takagi sometimes shows shades of this trope towards his girlfriend Sato. At some point he's seen in tears due to this, thinking of how he believes himself to not have what it takes to make her happy. And then he's kidnapped and put in a Death Trap. And one of the persons who saves him is Sato herself.
- Jin from The Pet Girl of Sakurasou feels he's not worthy enough to be with his beloved childhood friend Misaki, due to her talents, such as in animation, and feels he would just weigh her down if he tried to have a serious relationship with her. This despite the obvious signs that Misaki really wants to be with him.
- Sayaka Miki from Puella Magi Madoka Magica. She has a crush on Kyousuke Kamijou but Can Not Spit It Out, especially once it is revealed that becoming a Magical Girl means effectively becoming a sparkly lich. Sayaka feels she can't ask for Kyousuke's love because she now considers herself a zombie, and the realization that she made her supposedly selfless wish for selfish reasons along with her good friend Hitomi pushing the issue by giving her a one day headstart on confessing (which she balks at)...it doesn't end well.
- Annie Brighton from Candy Candy is this to Archie Cornwall, which isn't helped by his crush on the titular Candy and how Annie, despite her and Candy's Romantic Two-Girl Friendship, is also jealous of her. However, Archie soon realises that Annie is the one he actually loves, and they stay together.
- High School D×D deconstructs this trope with the relationship between Issei and Rias. Despite their love being blatantly reciprocated, Issei was - for quite some time - resigned to the mindset that she, a bonafide Ms. Fanservice and a Nice Girl with a noble heritage, deserves better than a perverted guy like him. This, however, causes Rias to remain heartbroken when Issei answered her question on what she really is to him: he said she's nothing more than the president of the Occult Research Club and his master. It took the support of the other girls to let Issei battle with his inferiority complex - caused by the trauma involving being killed on his first date by his ex-GF for being boring - and successfully hook up with Rias.
- My Monster Secret: Initially, Youko is merely oblivious to the fact that Asahi has any deeper feelings for her than friendship. When the idea finally crosses her mind, she instantly shoots it down, convincing herself that Asahi is that nice to all his friends, and that he's far to polite to say that being her Secret Keeper is a pain in the ass. While Youko and Asahi do end up getting together, it takes another 40 chapters to happen, and not before they both go through some pretty painful emotional torment.
- The trope gets discussed after the Relationship Upgrade, when Trickster Mentor Akane calls Youko out on her uneasiness, saying "You're not thinking something stupid like 'I'm not good enough for him', are you? What's done is done, just go with it and be happy."
Comic Books
- Tommy Monoghan of the Hitman comic book ends his relationship with Tiegel once and for all by pretty much telling her outright that he's a scumbag, and if they stay together he'd just keep letting her down and screwing up. He's saying it because it's true, but he's ALSO saying it because he's about to take on a pretty good sized chunk of the CIA and doesn't want her around for it. Whether or not a reader thinks he would have said/done it if not for the whole CIA thing varies.
- Barbara Gordon of Batgirl/Oracle fame sometimes felt as though Dick was only in love with the memory of the girl she had once been, rather than the woman she had become.
- Frank Einstein Jr. is this to Henrietta in Mini Monsters, specifically in the second album. He falls for her at first sight, but his feelings of being rejected and his own inferiority complex towards his physical appearance; made him create an invention who makes people physically perfect. But that became dangerous because of Henrietta's extreme bipolar disorder. After that, he's still very much in love with her, and Henrietta starts feeling the same for him, although they can't tell their own feelings for each other.
- Spider-Man and Mary Jane Watson are this to each other. For Spider-Man, MJ is an incredibly beautiful, charismatic and talented young woman who is incredibly out of his league and would be far better off if she wasn't with him. For Mary Jane, Spider-Man is a selfless and brave superhero with amazing abilities. They each believe they aren't good enough for the other, and that they are dragging the other person down.
- Dale in The Walking Dead is always insecure about his relationship with Andrea, due to the fact that he is twice as old as her. Andrea shows a few small shades of this, mostly whenever Dale mentions his late wife. It ultimately works out until Dale's death, and Andrea is able to move on and be with Rick.
Fan Fiction
- Derpy in We're Gonna Get There Soon. Her klutziness, eye condition, and her poor relationship with her parents result in a mare who is very surprised when Thunderlane is interested in pursuing a relationship with her.
- In "A Friend In Darkness", Kim's Vision Quest to rescue Ron from the Spirit World dredges up uncomfortable memories of times she'd been thoughtless and condescending toward him. She decides that he deserves better and breaks up with him until the end of the story.
- The Reading Rainbowverse has Lyra breaking up with Bonbon because she's unsure if she feels the same way about their relationship as Bonbon does and doesn't want to lead her on. This is almost universally regarded as a poor decision.
- Played straight and inverted by Erin in And The Story Continues, regarding her blossoming romance with Stephen. While she does feel under his league and has been fighting self-confidence issues since the beginning of the series, she seems to be more concerned about getting hurt by him. His ladies' man tendencies worry her a bit and she still has baggage from what happened between her and L in the first story.
- Speaking of, L is implied to be this in the prequel, especially in the companion 'shots. While it's suggested that he develops feelings for Erin he never says a word about them and does not try to pursue a more intimate relationship with her. This may have been due to how he is in general and the nature of what relationship they did have...
- Jessie and James shift this role back and forth for the first half of Cori Falls's series of Pokémon fanfics. It gets pretty repetitive after the first five or so times.
- Lampshaded in OTP Addiction, when Pyrrha refuses to leave Jaune to his death.
Mercury sighed and shook his head. "Trust me, there'll be other guys out there, ones actually worth your time."
Pyrrha smiled at Jaune. "I...I never met anyone...worth more to me than you."
- In an untitled fic set after Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Rebellion, Homura becomes this trope. note She's spent so long hating herself that she can't imagine anyone not hating her.
Madoka: I will say it again and again for all eternity if I have to, Homura-chan, until you get it. You are you and I will always save you.
Films — Animated
- Implied with Xibalba in The Book of Life. At the end, when he apologizes to La Muerte for all the trouble he caused, he adds in "you [La Muerte] deserve better than me". Gutierrez stated that the reason Xibalba wanted to make it look like he was cheating on her was out of insecurity.
- In An Extremely Goofy Movie, PJ is in this role. Bobby is willing to flirt with Beret Girl, PJ is not. He says a grand total of zero words to her, being visibly stunned speechless each time, until she decides to take the initiative and start flirting with him. At this point, PJ responds by reciting a poem about how nobody notices fat people no matter how they act. Beret Girl is both impressed and sympathetic, asks, "How could anyone overlook this bundle of yes-ness?" and asks him to dance. This is the catalyst for PJ's Character Development: he immediately becomes a lot happier, less insecure, and more confident.
- In Strange Magic, when his use of a love potion goes badly, the Bog King becomes convinced that he so hideous that even a magic can't make him lovable. It turns out that the the object of his affections was already in love - the one thing that makes someone immune to its power. Bog is still fairly insecure though when it comes to his fairy beauty second love.
- In Mermaidia, Nori feels that Nalu will never love her because of class differences. She vents these feelings by bitching at Elina, who she thinks is dating him. (Unusually for the trope, Nori resolves these feelings before starting a relationship with Nalu.)
Films — Live-Action
- Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason does this with the protagonist playing this role.
Bridget: I read that you should never go out with someone if you can think of three reasons why you shouldn't.
Mark: And can you think of three?
Bridget: Yes.
Mark: Which are?
Bridget: First off, I embarrass you. I can't ski, I can't ride, I can't speak Latin , my legs only come up to here and yes I will always be just a little bit fat.
- This is why Audrey doesn't consider leaving the abusive "semi-sadist" Orin for her Adorkable Nice Guy coworker Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors; she likes Seymour, but she considers herself too dirty and worthless to be with him.
- She's Out of My League is from the perspective of one of these; it's about a man who has found a very attractive girlfriend who really likes him, but he considers her way out of his league, leading him to sabotage things. It doesn't help that almost everyone around him appears to be an incredibly petty and spiteful person who either encourage him or actively attempt to sabotage things out of jealousy.
- At the end of Some Like It Hot, Sugar decides to run away with Joe. He tells her that she deserves better than The Casanova who put on a façade to win her heart, but she stays with him anyway.
- The Hunger Games: Katniss Everdeen believes that she doesn't deserve the love of someone like Peeta. Haymitch agrees with her.
- In Marriage Blue, Vika is young and spectacularly sexy. Gun-ho is somewhat doughy and 18 years older than she is. This causes him anxiety and insecurity, which undermines their relationship.
- This is a constant problem for Georgina in the Georgina Kincaid series. She thinks she's not good enough for Seth and is going to end up hurting him, because she's hurt people in the past. That and she's a succubus, whereas he's a reserved and virtuous man.
- In New Moon of the Twilight series, Edward leaves Bella because of this, resulting in much Wangst from both of them.
- Although in this case it's less "I'm not good enough for you" and more "I'm finding it very difficult not to eat you."
- In the last two Harry Potter books, Lupin has this problem with Tonks—he turns her down because a.) he's quite a bit (12 years) older than her, b.) he has no steady means of support, and c.) he's a werewolf, with all the danger and Fantastic Racism that includes. They wind up eloping sometime between the last two books, but he's so sure that this was a mistake that he tries to leave her (and their unborn child) until Harry gives him a What the Hell, Hero? speech.
- In the last book, this turns out to be a big part of Ron's problem: with his low self-esteem he's convinced (among other things) that Hermione would never pick him over Harry. Carrying around an Artifact of Doom that could give him a constant mental "The Reason You Suck" Speech just brought all those issues to a head.
- Mistborn: Vin and Elend provide a double example, Vin thinks she's too Book Dumb and violent for Elend, Elend feels he's too much of a passive screwup for Vin.
- Sherlock Holmes Watson to Mary Morstan in Arthur Conan Doyle's The Sign of Four. As a wounded retiree from the Afghan army with little income, he feels that he has no right to even think about her, and things get worse when it turns out that she stands to gain a large sum of money.
- The Hunger Games: Katniss Everdeen feels that she doesn't deserve the unconditional love of a Nice Guy like Peeta. Haymitch agrees with her.
Haymitch: You could live a hundred lifetimes and not deserve him, you know.
- Both Jerin and Cira/ Princess Halley in A Brother's Price, though for different reasons.
- Michael of The Traitor Game is a platonic (or not) version of this trope for Francis, constantly feeling insecure about their friendship. This is because Michael has trust issues after being bullied at his previous school, and finds it difficult to accept that Francis - who is "cool", "posh" and "handsome" - would genuinely want to be friends with him. This leads to disastrous consequences.
- Both Michael and Mia in The Princess Diaries, Michael because of feeling the constant need to prove himself "worthy" of dating a princess, Mia due to her low self esteem for dating an attractive genius who is her best friend's brother.
- This is par for the course in Catherine Anderson's novels, but Molly Sterling, Laura Townsend, Natalie Patterson and Bethany Coulter are the biggest examples.
- Lauchlan Huxley, the main character of Mix Beer With Liquor And You Will Get Sicker has some self-esteem issues. And self confidence issues. And self image issues. He just has a lot of issues period, and is a Nervous Wreck as a result. When the confronted with the possibility of a real, meaningful relationship, he's terrified, and honestly doesn't believe that he deserves to be in a relationship at all.
- Razz in Don't Call Me Ishmael!. While he is usually self-confident, he is this to Sally, believing that she is 'too everything' for him.
Live-Action TV
- Nip/Tuck has Christian break up with Natasha because he thinks she deserves better than The Casanova like him.
- In Season 3 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, this is Angel's reasoning for ending his relationship with Buffy before he moves to LA. He wants her to have a relatively normal life and he feels that her being with him would make that more difficult.
- Spike in the comics. He doesn't think Buffy will love him after everything that's happened between them. She proves him wrong and they get back together...only for Spike to pull this again when they have to call on Angel to help with a Big Bad.
- Lennier never admits he loves Delenn until the fifth season of Babylon 5.
- Rachel of Suits displays signs of this when Mike breaks it off. Despite all her explanations of how important she is to the firm, she still believes he looks down on her for never passing the LSATs and remaining a paralegal.
- In New Girl's season 1 finale, Schmidt ends things with Cece because he's convinced she's too out of his league for him to ever make her happy.
- Gossip Girl Chuck Bass runs on this trope regarding Blair for most of the show's duration. It doesn't help that Blair goes back and forth between reinforcing this belief and telling him he's the best man she's ever known and all that she's ever wanted.
- Doctor Who: Occured particularly between some of the companions.
- Rory thinks he's not good enough for Amy. So much so that he was too certain of rejection to ask her out, and is constantly surprised whenever she demonstrates her affection for him. This gets a lot better though, and by the end of the series, he's thrown it off.
- This also happens to Amy herself. In series 7 Amy almost gets a divorce because she's infertile and she knows Rory's always wanted children. Since Amy's bad at dealing with feelings, she never told him why she wanted a divorce. Of course, it turns out Rory doesn't care and in an unshot scene we find out that they adopted a child.
- Clara and Danny grow fond of each other very quickly, but their own personal insecurities (often caused by trauma from the past) tend to hold them back or have them fall into awkward conversations and situations. This is not helped by Clara trying hard to keep her adventures with the Doctor and her ordinary life as a schoolteacher and Danny's girlfriend separate, only for the effort to get out of hand. Later on, it does look like she and Danny will be able to resolve their grievances, and even the grumpy Twelfth Doctor grows to respect their relationship. This is cut short when Danny dies in an accident, and though he and Clara make peace before his, Clara's clearly heartbroken she lost him just as they were beginning to really understand each other and what pained them both.
- The Doctor himself feels this way about most of his major love interests, given that he leads a dangerous life, is a centuries old space alien and (particularly after the Time War) generally hates himself. As a general tendency, he's very quick to leave them to find the happiness he can't give them elsewhere.
- Friends: Chandler is genuinely smart, funny, good-looking, has a very successful career and a very kind personality. However, he's had a traumatic childhood, bad luck with women, commitment phobia, and the gang constantly jokes that Monica 'can do better'. He also feels intimidated by the memory of Richard, whom the gang had idolised and whom Monica had truly loved. An alternate universe episode reveals that even when Monica is a fat, 30-year old virgin with an extremely boring boyfriend, Chandler still thinks he's not good enough for her. Fortunately, he and Monica are Opposites Attract; he stabilises her neuroses while she builds his confidence.
- Basically the premise to the Tal Bachman song "She's so High."
What could a guy like me ever really offer?
She's perfect as she can be, why should I even bother?
- Seems to be the main theme of "She's Like the Wind" by Patrick Swayze.
I feel her breath in my face
Her body close to me
Can't look in her eyes
She's out of my league.
- The James Ingram song "I Don't Have The Heart" shows a man who clearly cares about his woman but feels that he is not good enough for her.
- Inverted in "Frozen" by Delain, in which the protagonist's love interest clearly has issues preventing him from being with her.
- The song Amanda has the line "Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife".
- Found in the Anna Nalick song "Sort of Delilah."
Once you were a tower, and given the power, how did I become the wrecking ball?
Didn't wanna hurt you, didn't deserve you, I'm usually the victim after all.
- The narrator of Flyleaf's There For You is a self-described "selfish fake" who has requited feelings for a friend.
You speak the unspeakable thought-
I love you too...
Video Games
- Mass Effect:
- Nice Guy Jacob feels this way towards both Miranda and female Shepard (if you romance him).
- Tali'Zorah feels this way if male Shepard pursues a relationship with her. See the entry on I Just Want My Beloved to Be Happy. When you meet up with her again in the third game she's much more confident and this trope becomes averted.
- Garrus counts for slightly different reasons. He gets that you like him, but isn't quite sure how to go about a relationship with a human. He's also tired of losing people.
- Almost every love interest in Dragon Age II. Most of them have self-esteem issues to begin with, but romancing them tends to bring it to the forefront.
- Anders is a mage living outside the Circle who has to look over his shoulder for Templars. He's also possessed by a very angry Spirit of Justice that may or may not have become a full-on demon, and by the end of the game, he's plotting to blow up the Chantry. He's the most vocal about not having anything to offer, especially once supporting apostates is declared a hanging offense.
- Between being an elf, a blood mage and a Fish out of Water, Merrill refuses to believe Hawke feels romantic affection towards her until Hawke specifically tells her s/he does. Even after they've just had sex.
- Fenris is an amnesiac fugitive ex-slave whose former master is heavily implied to have sexually abused him. After his first time with Hawke, he has a rush of memories from his old life and panics, feeling like a fool for thinking he could be with someone.
- By the time Hawke's named Champion of the city, Pirate Girl Isabela is convinced the two of them no longer have anything in common. The codex notes that after telling Hawke that they were the only reason she came back, she runs away for two years.
- DLC character Sebastian is the least self-flagellating, possibly because he outranks Hawke socially rather than vice versa.
- Dragon Age: Inquisition follows suit:
- Dorian, who constantly reminds the Inquisitor that their relationship will not be seen well, as Dorian is a mage from the Tevinter Imperium, and it could cost the Inquistor goodwill. He's especially unhappy when the Inquisitor uses his influence to help Dorian get an amulet back, as he's afraid people will assume Dorian's merely cozied up to him to use his power for himself.
- Warden Blackwall doesn't believe he's worthy of the Inquisitor, and is also worried about their respective obligations and the fact that he's ultimately another soldier in her army. The biggest reason turns out to be that he's a former war criminal trying to atone.
- Cullen also shows signs of this; he has trouble believing that the Inquisitor would be serious about pursuing a relationship, especially if she's seen him in withdrawal.
- Raven from Rune Factory 3. If you marry her, much of your dialog with her consists of her being reassured that you love her and wanted to marry her.
- Ninian in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Sword loves Eliwood, but feels she isn't worthy of him due to her secret heritage as a half-Dragon and her guilt over having been an unwilling catalyst in his father's death. Eliwood uses their A support to reassure her that he loves her no matter what.
Laurent: "I was not worried about whether I was fit to support the army... I was worried I was unfit to support you. Thoughts of how I might better aid you and you alone consumed me! That was my true distraction from watching over the others (...) You're Chrom's daughter, and in your veins runs the blood of exalts and heroes. ... So how could a common man such as I ever be worthy of you?"
- In Fire Emblem Awakening, Badass Bookworm Laurent becomes this if he falls in love with Lucina. In his own words during their S support:
- Sumia can be this for a male Avatar until their S support, where she decides to stop hiding behind her books and learn to love herself as she is. She actually shows traces of this towards all of her possible boyfriends; one of her event tiles with a lover has her openly ask him how come he hasn't found a prettier girl than her.
- Brady is implied to be this for a female Avatar, as in his Love Confession he tells her "I'll become a guy worthy of your love!"
- The male Avatar can become this for Tiki. Justified in that Tiki is the daughter of an actual goddess and the only other man she has ever shown anything resembling interest in was the Hero-King Marth, a legendary King Arthur like figure by the time of the events in Awakening.
- Anju from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, who seems plenty insecure to begin with. Her fiance, Kafei, has been missing for quite a while, and she's beginning to think that he ran off because he didn't really love her after all. This is not helped by her mother, who seems convinced that Kafei hooked up with Anju's best friend instead. As part of the game's most elaborate sidequest, Link must give her proof of Kafei's love for her, otherwise the poor girl will give up on him completely.
Visual Novels
- In CLANNAD, Nagisa initially acts like this when she and Tomoya start dating. Tomoya gets fed up with it pretty quickly and tells her to have more confidence in herself. He doesn't like anyone insulting his girlfriend, including herself.
- In Umineko: When They Cry, Jessica Ushiromiya is in love with Kanon, one of the Ushiromiya family servants. Kanon does love her back, but he believes he isn't worthy of her love due to his insistence that he's "furniture". As the story continues, it becomes clear that this isn't just Wangst and the real reason he's so insecure is quite complicated and tragic.
- Seizh of Under The Moon is very hesitant in his pure love paths, and requires a lot of convincing on the point that, yes, the heroine really is in love with him. Justifiably so, since he knows she was head over heels for his brother until she was wind-wiped.
- Dora of Questionable Content may well be the Trope Codifier for webcomics. She's a ball of neuroses who is constantly worried that Marten, the first decent male she's ever dated - is going to leave her because of her hangups. And also because she's convinced he's still pining for Faye, despite both of them saying that's never going to happen. It does eventually split them up.
Web Original
- Parodied with the psychotic Ask That Guy with the Glasses. Even though the Love Martyr narrator tells him how amazing he is constantly, he'd rather be abused and told he's worthless.
- Molly from The War Comms was this for Ralph at the beginning of their relationship. She's mostly overcome it now thanks to Character Development.
Western Animation
- Wirt from Over the Garden Wall believes that he can't compete for the affections of his Love Interest Sara with rival Jason Funderberker, who he says is "the total package" and "has his act together." This is revealed to be entirely in his head when the audience actually meets Jason, who is only marginally more confident than pre-Character Development Wirt and massively socially awkward. Sara is friendly toward him in a pitying sort of way, but communicates that she's much more interested in Wirt clearly enough that only Wirt himself could miss the signals.

Bowled over – some of the members outside their new clubhouse
Matt Abbott, Chief Reporter / / News
A BOWLS club which almost folded after the closure of a Corringham social club has found a new home.
Pegasus Bowls Club, which had played at the Pegasus Sport and Social Club in Herd Lane, Corringham, has moved to Billet field .
The club, which has 50 members, looked doomed when the Pegasus club closed last month.
With the help of Thurrock Council though, the bowls club, which is 55 years old, is now ready to start the new season.
The future of their former home remains uncertain, but it is thought a Malaysian consortium is closing in on a deal which could see the site redeveloped as a hotel.
Gil Moore, committee member, said: "The old aged pensioners have done it. We've refurbished it a bit and made it liveable.
"We've got an open day on Sunday, June 22, and would love for new members to join us.
We're especially short on women and social and beginner players."
Anyone interested in joining should call Mrs Moore on 01375 674354.

, the deaf ears are the winners
The listeners are the lames
Lyric Meaning
The 'deaf ears' are those who choose not to listen when being warned about the path they are heading on. If looked at in the light of his work on The Cool, they are those who follow the path of Michael Young History.
The 'listeners' who heeded the warnings are the ones who are in reality better off.
Also, note the duality used by Lupe:
"The listeners are the lames". He adds to the poetry of his bars with the double meaning of the word lame.

We Have Rock Shows.
Hang out on the the side, where you will have a better view.
Pretty much a mirror image of Bowery Ballroom in Williamsburg. Great place to see local bands.
The Best Music Venue
Great Music Venue
Perfect size for a concert. Sometimes the downstairs bar stays open for just a little longer.
My favorite venue in the tri-state area.
Basically Brooklyn's Bowery Ballroom, but with a warmer vibe and better downstairs bar. Incredible place for concerts, intimate but just the right size to get a party going.
Perfectly sized venue.
Walk around a bit. The bars are sneakily located.
Spacious bar downstairs. Great sound system and crowd. Easily one of my favorite venues in NYC.
The mini balconies are perfect for short people. I can see!
Good sized venue that you don't really get in Manhattan.
Amazing place to see a show. I'm no acoustics expert, but the sound in this place is clean.
Tickets are usually very cheap! Read more
Saw The Knocks here. Great venue.
An intimate space that's in pretty great shape. Wish I could see all my concerts here.
One of my favorites. Large enough to hold a solid crowd, yet Intimate enough to feel really connected to the bad/artist
The balcony area is actually incredible! I'm upset it took me so long to wander up there. Less packed with a great view.
An almost exact clone of Bowery Ballroom, it's creepy.
Awesome music venue. I like that you can go downstairs to the lounge to order a drink and give your ears a minute to rest.
great concerts nice venue decent drink prices
Great space with lots of little nooks away from the main standings area.
Pretty much the unfriendliest staff ever.
good, smaller venue. very hipster.
With great viewing from all points of the venue and a multiple tier setup – Music Hall Of Williamsburg is one of the most user-friendly venues going around. Read more
Tecante tall boy with lime is 6$ and the perfect beer. Screen in bar so you can see when the main acts go on. Coat check is 2$ an item.
All of the great attributes of a small venue.
Cool, intimate venue.
Good venue. Surprisingly intimate
May be my favorite venue I've ever been to.
The elevated areas on the side are perfect for a great view and more chilled vibe than the pit. Rest on the banister and enjoy.
A solid bar and intimate performance space make this a sweet spot to see a gig.
If the music blows the lounge is a good place to drown your sorrows. Lots of white hipsters getting street with their Hiphop stylings.
Great music venue - intimate but still gets top bands. Head upstairs if you want to avoid a crowd and still catch the action (the bar upstairs is also a great way to grab beers w/o fighting the crowd)
Great venue for concerts. The view is great from the balcony upstairs.
One of the best music venue...
Definitely intimate. Great spot to see a band you love.
Intimate venue with decent drink prices and great sound
Great venue, and surprisingly intimate
With Glasslands gone, this stands as the clear-cut best music venue in all the 'Burg. From the same folks who brought you Bowery Ballroom, also exact same layout
Standing in line for coat check is maybe the closest equivalent to purgatory. I wouldn't wish it upon anyone and suggest you don't either. On positive note, beers aren't bad! $7 for Stella. Hell yeah.
MHOW is a great place for a concert. Sound is amazing, always a great view of the band. Upstairs they have great bench seats. The bar prices aren't too bad, most of the time they have happy hour.
One of the best venues around Manhattan. Perfect size and good acts come through.
A smaller version of Bowery. Not to be missed.
Williamsburg is still cool. This venue is solid, sound fantastic, and has a constant stream of incredible music talent. Pack in with the crowd on the floor.
Is a very nice specially when you have performance and the drinks are really good and the atmosphere is relaxing
This venue will always have a place in my heart, it's beautiful and the sound has a punch.
Happy hour $5 drafts and $4 well drinks between doors and the opener! Don't forget about the $10 credit min and the balcony bar if the basement bar isn't to your liking!
Almost a splitting image of Bowery Ballroom. The drink situation is a little slower and you have to leave the main room to get a drink. Go the second the artist says, "this is a new one."

The Urban Divers Estuary Conservancy held its Ninth Annual Gowanus Canal Earth Day Flotilla, which began with a guided historical and educational eco-cruise of the Gowanus Canal aboard the organization's unique 32-foot Indian shipping canoe.
Participants were able to learn about present local environmental issues and the current impact of our time, of "Global Climate Disorder," which are challenging and exacerbating the already polluted historic canal. The group is working to raise public awareness to the Gowanus Canal's water rising, a condition that had consequently led to flooding of the Gowanus Canal 50 feet onto land and flooded basements and where Ninth Street flooded up to 18 inches of water during the noreaster of 2007.
The tour also included investigating the areas of the Gowanus Canal where removal of floatable debris was crucial. The ceremonial and educational eco-cruise was followed by individual small groups of eco-volunteers armed with landing nets, garbage bags, rakes brooms and shovels and a fleet of smaller Urban Divers boats, to clean-up the water and the shores along the Gowanus Canal.
The Army Corp of Engineers gave a big helping hand by bringing two vessels and assisted a crew from the Urban Divers in the removal of two sunken boats, eight shopping carts, and six large containers of garbage along the shores of the canal.
Jim Morst from the Hudson River Foundation (co-sponsor of the Urban Divers programs) also participated in guiding kayakers in the clean-up effort. Dan Whiley from the office of Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez teamed-up with Joel Kupferman from NY Environmental Law and Justice Project with a group of international volunteers from Japan, and visitors from the Bronx and Manhattan to remove 27 bags and three boatloads of debris from the eastern shore of the canal.
In all, 117 garbage bags of the debris were removed from the shore line and water of the Gowanus Canal.
The Urban Divers Estuary Conservancy offers environmental education through recreation programs throughout the summer, such as frequent eco-cruises, conservation support, citizen monitoring and environmental stewardship on the Gowanus, Red Hook Waterfront as well as on other NYC Waterways.
To find how you can get involved, call the Urban Divers Estuary Conservancy's Gowanus/Red Hook South Brooklyn Harbor Marine Field Station at 718-802-9874, 347-224-5828, or email theurbandi

How to Care for a Horse on Stall Rest
ArticleHow to - CareFriday 11 December 2009
Stall Rest
How to Care for a Horse on Stall Rest
If your horse has been seriously ill, had surgery or serious wounds, stall rest is usually required. Horses do not like stall rest, they like to be outside, in the stall they get bored and slightly irritable. You will need to adjust your routine when your horse on stall rest to help both you and your horse get through it. Here are a few pointers on how to do this successfully:
1. Move your horse to a stall with a good view of other horses this will give him company during stall rest.
2. Get a stall with a window where your horse can poke its head through and get some fresh air without leaving the horse stall. This will also ventilate the stall decreasing the risks of breeding bacteria.
3. Change your horse's feed so that he doesn't have excess energy, stall rest will be more frustrating for your horse if he has lots of energy he wants to use running about outside.
4. If you are unsure about how to adjust your horses feed appropriately speak to an equine vet and they will advise you on how to reduce your horse's intake of carbohydrates, sugars and fats while still getting all the nutrients it needs.
5. A top tip when a horse is on stall rest and has smaller portions of feed is to use a recreational feeder. You put the feed inside and it is expelled when the horse plays with it. This is fun and will help to keep him occupied in the horse stall.
6. You need to give your horse lots of attention during stall rest. They miss the attention given during riding and boredom takes over. Your horse might display bad behaviour in a bid to get your attention; if this doesn't work he might slip into apathy. Make sure you groom your horse lots during stall rest and when doing other activities around the stall make sure you talk to your horse.
7. When other horses are turned out your horse can get lonely. You can get around this problem by leaving a horse behind to keep him company or get a stall buddy of another species; this is an important part of horse care. Pigs, goats and cats often make good company for horses on stall rest.
8. Chat with your vet and see if it is ok for your horse to do gentle movement while on stall rest. If this is ok you can keep your horse occupied through clicker training or basic ground manners. When training a horse on stall rest make sure you use low carb treats such as apples and carrots.
9. Play games with your horse, you can play stall football and many other games are available to buy which your horse can play on his own.

Apparently it's a virus that just has to run its course. I know what its like to have a couple cancer sores in the mouth, but 3 or 4? Poor baby.

Paul Walker Carrera GT Black Box to be Probed by Porsche Experts
Porsche engineers from Stuttgart, Germany are coming to town next month to help L.A. County Sheriff's Department detectives extract data from so-called black boxes recovered from the 2005 Carrera GT in which actor Paul Walker died.
See also: Paul Walker of 'Fast & Furious' Franchise Dead in High-Speed Crash.
Investigators hope the info will shed light on what exactly happened on the afternoon of Nov. 30 when the Porsche, driven by Walker pal Roger Rodas, crashed in Santa Clarita and ended up in flames. Both men were dead at the scene:
In a move to put the brakes on speculative reports about the wreck, including false stories of road racing and more recent news that the edgy Porsche might have lost traction after hitting lane markers known as Botts' dots, the department said last night that the jury's still out on the cause.
A statement from the Sheriff's Department says:
No conclusions have yet been reached as to the cause of the collision. Traffic investigators with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department are scheduled to meet in January with engineers from Porsche to analyze the data retrieval system (computer) in the car. Information that might possibly be obtained from the computer is speed, RPM's, throttle opening, air bag deployment, seat belt use, and other possible information.

The New York Daily News this week, citing an unnamed sheriff's source, said there are actually three black boxes to be examined.
The source said Rodas was driving "fairly straight" when the two-seat roadster crashed on Hercules Street at Kelly Johnson Parkway: "There's no evidence he lost control in the curve at all."
Only hours after the accident sheriff's officials declared that speed was a factor. The black boxes could shed some light on that. According to the most recent sheriff's statement:
The car Walker and Rodas died in via Always Evolving/Facebook.
Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station traffic investigators are continuing to document the investigation and have received eyewitness statements that the car involved was traveling alone at a high rate of speed. No eyewitness has contacted the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department to say there was a second vehicle. The posted speed limit in the area of the collision is 45 MPH.
The Porsche apparently hit a pole and a tree before coming to a stop mangled and in pieces. Coroner's investigators reportedly concluded that both men died nearly instantly, indicating that rescue from the subsequent fire wouldn't have saved them.

Walker, 40, was hanging out at a charity event with sometime racer and performance shop owner Rodas when the two decided to for a spin in the rare, recently acquired car.
Detectives are still looking for videos, photos and witnesses from that day: (661) 255-1121.
