Going through a couple of issues and I am exhausted....!
My son is almost 15 months old. He used to be the happiest baby, lately all he does is whine. I have tried everything, checked every possibility like teething or sick....and he is fine. He is just continually whining. In addition to this his seperation anxiety has not gotten any better. I can't let anyone other than his dad, brothers, or daycare watch him or hold him. He completely freaks out if anyone else tries to hold him or even looks at him. It's gotten to the point where he will not leave my side even at family functions. He won't even go near my dad, mom, or sister! It's exhausting. I don't know what to do or how to make any of this better.

They are actually teaching him baby sign at daycare and it has been extremely helpful. Thanks for the input. I am prob way too momma grizzly about what people say but he's my boy! :)posted 12/26/2012 by marylizthompson77
Ooh, also, have you thought of teaching him baby sign? It might help him express himself better. You're starting a little late but if he catches on you'll be AMAZED at how much it can improve his ability to get along.
It's much too early to get sore on his behalf about what people say about him - wait until he's aware of it. Then you can get all momma grizzly on them. The reality is, stranger anxiety keeps them safe. They stay with people they know and don't end up lost! Your family isn't helping him feel comfortable with him by insulting him or you. He'll grow out of it and you'll be sorry when he's gone :). As for the whining - it's not stupid to talk to him. Toddlers' language perception outstrips their production for years. He understands what you say. However, it might be difficult to get him to reflect on his feelings. I recommend simply never responding as if it's silence - turn your back, even. Your husband needs to do the same - inconsistency will make it basically impossible for him to figure out how you want him to behave. My mother, bless her, stuck me in my room alone when I started whining at 10 months. It's harsh, but lord knows I didn't do it long :).
When he is whiny I try to calm him by asking him what he wants or asking him to use his words which is prob stupid because he's not talking yet. He doesn't like to play with his toys. I have all age appropriate toys and he seems to get bored very quickly with them. He is an extremely active child, he can't sit still so Im wondering if part of his whining is frustration due to not being able to communicate or he's bored. His dad gets really mad and yells at him which I tell him not to do because it only makes it worse plus it confuses him. As far as stranger anxiety, I never push my son to go to anyone, I let him feel the situation out. It's just frustrating because all anyone says is "hes a mommas boy" or other derogatory things. I try to explain that he has anxiety but that doesn't make a difference. They all feel that because he's a boy he should be tough, disregarding that he is a baby!posted 12/26/2012 by marylizthompson77
How do you respond to his whining? If he gets what he wants from the whining he's getting the message that that's totally the thing to do to get mom to do what he wants. Also, What you're describing isn't separation anxiety (separation anxiety would manifest at daycare and wouldn't when you stuck around him at family functions.) - it's stranger anxiety. Which is definitely a stage and he'll get over it. You can help ease things by not pushing him but encouraging him - other children to play with helps or interesting toys that he only gets when he's at family functions. Also, giving him lots of time and extra visits with grandparents and auntie. But really, he's expressing personal opinions for the first time - and that's a good thing. That's development. He doesn't have a lot of control over his world but who he hangs out with is one of them.

The outgoing year will perhaps not be easily forgotten among Tanzanians. With it, packaged occurrences came up, that had either never happened before or resembled past disasters.
While history is not something to dwell upon fastidiously, it certainly provides a lesson to shape a better future. Thus, this week, The Guardian on Sunday delights in bringing you a flashlight of major events that rocked the just ended year, 2011.
From the Makonde carver on the shores of the sea to the fisherman on the banks of Lake Tanganyika, from the cotton dealer in the hillside city of Mwanza to the bottom of the country, Mtwara, there is going to blossom a sense of hope deep down in their hearts, today.
Even if the first of January is only a date, it carries more than other dates in the year, for upon it are bound the hopes and expectations of millions of people. Yet they will each require an appointed time to prosper or lay the basis for prosperity in the coming year, with January 1 only a collective day of hope, of the ritual of yearning and praying for a better year to come.
For one reason or another, most of us entertain the feeling that a new chapter has opened and it will be better than the previous year, 2011. The outgoing year will perhaps not be easily forgotten among Tanzanians. With it, packaged occurrences came up, that had either never happened before or resembled past disasters.
While history is not something to dwell upon fastidiously, it certainly provides a lesson to shape a better future. Thus, this week, The Guardian on Sunday delights in bringing you a flashlight of major events that rocked the just ended year, 2011.
January - New Constitution step of hope
The 2011 year broke with some good news. Though declared on the 31st December, the media shared the news on 01st January that the country's president, Jakaya Kikwete has announced the will to form a Constitutional Review Commission that will take up the process of rewriting the mother law.
The president's announcement followed weeks after the country was gripped by calls from citizens and various political stakeholders demanding the writing of a new constitution.
Though a handful of government officials were initially hesitant over the matter, the Head of State assured the public of his wish to make the commission formation part of celebrations of the 50 years of independence.
January - Arusha Political Crises
As fresh as the New Year still was, the hopes it came with were suddenly dazzled by reports from the tourist city, Arusha. On 5th January, police had clashed with Chadema supporters holding a demonstration, purportedly heading to take over the city's main police station.
Sadly it didn't end as just a 'clash' as it claimed three lives, two local youths, one identified as young garage entrepreneur Dennis Michael (24) and the last as George Mwita, a Kenyan national.
Chadema called the demonstrations in protest at the way the Arusha mayoral election was conducted. Police, however, banned the march on grounds that it was a threat to the peace.
February: Chadema walks out in Parliament
Dissatisfied with what they termed as forced and 'incompatible marriage,' Chadema, which this time around secured opposition camp leadership as it emerged the strongest opposition group in the House, thought that words were not enough and so it 'walked the talk'
Chadema, on 18th February, walked out of the Parliament before the House voted to amend some Parliamentary Standing Orders. The party was protesting the amendment of a regulation that necessitated the inclusion of all opposition parties in the official opposition camp. Defiant party national chairman Freeman Mbowe is recorded as saying they were not ready to cooperate with parties with which they do not share ideological beliefs, referring to the Civic United Front (CUF).
February: Gongo la Mboto explodes
It was Monday February 16, when fear and confusion engulfed Dar es Salaam city and Gongo la Mboto residents in particular. Heavy and unusual blasts rocked and rumbled the area with many houses and other properties extensively damaged.
The explosions occurred at the Tanzania People's Defence Forces (TPDF) barracks in the Gongo la Mboto suburb, claiming 20 lives and more than 100 injured.
Though hesitant to draw conclusions, TPDF's head of security Brigadier General Paul Meda conceded that negligence could be one of the causes of the disaster.
March: Loliondo Herbalist (Babu)
You know the country's health system is on its death bed when people turn their hopes on a cup, providing the same dosage regardless of neither the patient's characteristics or the nature of diseases they are seeking to treat and yet 'believed' to be healing all kinds of diseases. Within a couple of weeks, Samunge village of Loliondo in Ngorongoro district hosted people from all walks of life, from MPs to street vendors, status did not matter at all. The cup is what prevailed.
However, the cup didn't bring only healing in the country but also confusion and doubts. Despite the government's move to clear the doubts by conducting laboratory's tests on the plant, the cup's credibility is yet to be concluded.
March: Accidents crushes Taarab Stars
The headlines of Monday, the 21st March, did not look good at all to the Taarab music fraternity in the country. The reports were: 13 members of the Dar es Salaam - based Five Star Modern Taarab group were killed in a grisly road crash at Mikumi in Morogoro region.
The accident claimed among others the lives of singers and musicians like Husna Mapande, Hamisa Omary, Mussa Mipango, Shebe Juma, Omary Hashim and one most popular lead singer, Issa Kijoti.
April: CCM's historical meeting
The April month was largely dominated by the rumpus of CCM's future after members of its key Central Committee resigned by request of the chairman.
The date was 09th April, when members of CC, a supreme body within the party as well as the secretariat were dissolved, and when they were reconstituted, Secretary General Yusufu Makamba was not part of the team. It was a move that many believed targeted radical changes in the party.
It was the first time meeting after the elections, with cadres urging party chairman Jakaya Kikwete to convene a historical meeting following the resignation of the central committee and the secretariat. The party should take 'hard decisions' on cadres suspected of corruption.
May: EPA convicts sentenced
After a long wait for organs of justice to make decisions, in May Tanzanians finally heard the court's decision on one of the major financial scandals of the past. On May 23rd, the Kisutu Resident Magistrate's Court delivered the first ever judgment on the External Payment Arrears (EPA) account cases, sentencing Farijala Hussein and Rajabu Maranda to jail terms of 19 and 18 years respectively.
However, each of the two convicts was ruled to serve only five years in jail because the sentences ran concurrently. Apart from the jail term, the convicts were also ordered to return the stolen money to the government. Failure to do so, their assets would be confiscated.
June: Announced Government allowances raises public uproar
On 9th June, the government announced to set aside Sh 987 billion from the Sh 13.05 trillion 2011/2012 Budget for paying allowances to civil servants.
Analysts showed the set aside bulk was enough to finance 17 ministries and Parliament whose total recurrent budget is Sh 819 billion. This tickled Zitto Kabwe (MP) to announce forfeiting his allowance during the entire budget session and remit it to the Kigoma Development Trust.
"It is my belief," the Kigoma North MP declared "that sitting allowance is not supposed to be paid to an MP or any civil servant as attending meetings is part of their jobs."
July – Rostam drops out of "gutter politics"
For the first time in the country's political history, the year 2011 saw a Member of Parliament resign from his duties. The date was 12th July, Rostam Aziz, a renowned businessman who represented Igunga constituency, threw in the gauntlet. .
Standing before a group of elders, party officials from the constituency and journalists, Aziz read out a statement. He said he had resigned as a member of Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) National Executive Committee (NEC) over "gutter politics" and that he is "stepping down from all party posts to concentrate on private businesses."
"My family and I," said Aziz "as well as my business associates have contemplated this situation and decided that it will be in the best interest of my business, CCM and the nation at large for me to leave."
July – The Jairo Saga
July was certainly a 'bitter pill' for David Jairo (later nicknamed DJ). On 18th, Beatrice Shelukindo, the Kilindi MP (CCM), revealed what appeared to be a shocking letter to individuals like the Prime Minister, Mizengo Pinda and the majority of Tanzanians, of course.
Reading it loud (after asking God for protection) before the Parliament which was debating estimates of the Ministry of Energy and Minerals, Shelukindo revealed that the ministry's permanent secretary David Jairo had directed that over Sh 1 billion be spent to ensure 'smooth' approval of the ministry's budget estimates by Parliament .
"In order to facilitate the smooth tabling of the budget, you are requested to contribute a total of Sh 50,000,000" part of the letter read. The letter was distributed to 21 departments and institutions under its wing.
July - Food Crisis
Last year also witnessed major food shortages in the country. Giving a picture of the magnitude of potential famine, the minister for Agriculture, Food Security and Cooperatives Prof. Jumanne Maghembe cited 16 regions to be facing the problem.
The regions cited were Arusha (7 districts), Dar es Salaam (3), Dodoma (1), Iringa (2), Kagera (2), Kilimanjaro (5), Manyara (2) and Mara (4).
Others cited were Mbeya (1), Mtwara (1), Mwanza (5), Coast (2), Shinyanga (7), Singida (2), Tabora (3) and Tanga (1). He therefore announced a ban on grain exports in response to shortages that hit 42 districts in 16 regions.
Prof. Maghembe said there was a shortfall of 413,740 tonnes of grain in the 2010/2011 farming season, with 7,200,340 tonnes of cereals consumed in the country annually.
August – Sh 94 billion Infrastructure Rescue
On 4th August, the government lacked options but intervene to rescue the Ministry of Transport's 2011/12 budget by announcing an injection of an additional Sh 95 Billion to beef up its estimates.
The rescue effort came a day after MPs from both CCM and the opposition rallied against the Sh.237.563 billion plan tabled by Transport Minister Omari Nundu saying it was too little to make meaningful impact.
"Following the passionate debate, I am pleased to inform Parliament that the Cabinet met last night and secured Sh95 billion in additional funding," declared Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda without clarifying where exactly the money had came from.
August -Fuel Crisis
As the media on 04th August reported the transport sector rescue, the same day reported a big fuel crisis in the country, with major regional centres coming to a virtual standstill as motorists spent hours queuing for fuel at the few filling stations that were still operating.
The scarcity, especially of petrol, came after an announcement on 2nd August by the Energy and Water Utilities Authority (EWURA) to reduce retail pump prices of petrol by 9.17%.
The crisis, which lasted for more than a week, triggered a section of law makers to demand that traders release the fuel by 6pm that day or their trade licenses should be confiscated and the army be called in, was the ringing declaration by Zitto Kabwe, Kigoma North (Chadema).
"Some government officials are in the oil business," speculated the Mkanyageni (CUF) representative. "We need to bring the Leadership Ethics Bill fast."
September: Spice Islander Capsizes
September 10 will always remain in Tanzanians' memory as a veritable knife twisted into the wound of grief as reports started flowing that the ship named Spice Islander had capsized off Zanzibar's Nungwi Bay, about 25kilometers from Stone Town.
The infamous accident was later revealed to have claimed 2,976 lives earning the title of the worst marine disaster in Tanzania, and singularly the country's worst tragedy since independence. The vessel made in Turkey had the capacity of carrying 600 passengers and 425 tons of cargo.
However, the ship was overloaded to 3,586 passengers whereas after the accident, about 203 bodies were recovered and 619 passengers rescued.
October: The Igunga election gymnastics
This time around, all eyes were leveled at Igunga. Events unfolded in the by-election campaigns in Igunga district (to replace resigned MP Rostam Aziz) which painted gloomy image to the future of multiparty democracy in Tanzania.
From chaos to corruption, from torching of houses to dramatic twist by some religious leaders about the humiliation of the District Commissioner, it was obvious that the people of Igunga witnessed the beginning of dirty politics in the country.
Not least, the three major parties in the country, CCM, Chadema and CUF, each hired a helicopter, making sure no stone was left unturned to win the constituency.
Yes, it was at this same campaign that the Tabora Urban MP Ismail Aden Rage was pictured with a pistol on a political podium.
November: Tanzania stance toughens on UK
In what was perhaps UK's disbelief, Tanzania, despite her 'short pockets' grew tough on London when the latter threatened to cut aid should African aid recipients decline recognition of rights of homosexuals, lesbians and bisexuals (GLB). In what was observed as solidarity with the government and religious groups swept the country, that the UK prime minister's call was un-African and contrary to Tanzanian values.
"We have our own culture," stated Foreign Minister Bernard Membe, "and it should not receive any command from anywhere using whatever sanctions to undermine our way of living."
December: The Golden Jubilee
Though listed last, it is certainly not least! Marked on 09th December, the 64 billion bill Uhuru celebration was unquestionably one gala that soothed Tanzanians' grief that despite the 50 years sailing in few highs and many lows the nation has made it to half a century.
Though opinion and figures may vary, the country's achievement in 50 years of independence can never be underestimated. In 1961; GDP stood at Sh 7.2 billion, per capita Sh. 766, referral hospitals 0, doctors 9, rural dwellers access 6%, primary schools 250, university 1 and tarmac roads of a length of 1,300 kilometers. Fifty years later: GDP amounts to 32.3 trillion, per capita Sh 770,464, referral hospitals 5, doctors 5,026, rural dwellers access 57.8%, primary school 16,001, universities 34 and tarmac roads of 6,500 kilometers long.
The president's message on the day was simple yet very clear: As a developing country, we sometimes face challenges, but they should never discourage us from moving forward – President Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete.
Happy New Year and May God Bless Tanzania!

These are actually Pepperwort or Water Clover (Marsilea Quadrifolia and Marsilea Polycarpa) or Oxalis (Oxalis deppei or Oxalis tetraphylla) plants that produce all four leaves. Another way of identifying a real four-leaf clover is that the fourth leaf is usually smaller than the other three leaves.

Big Papi Is A Big Baby
- Thursday, April 8, 2010 1:28 AM
- Written By: Steve Silver
In what could very well be my first and last Major League Baseball blog of the year, I want to use it to publicly tell David Ortiz to shut up.
There are many reasons to treat the beginning of the MLB season with as much enthusiasm as a wet burp – excruciatingly long games, an even longer 162-game season and a salary cap hierarchy that eliminates all parity in the league.
But chief among my reasons for not liking pro baseball, beside the fact that the Pittsburgh Pirates haven't had a winning season since I was in diapers, are whining prima donnas such as David Ortiz.
In case you missed it, Big Papi did some big pouting Tuesday night after starting the season 0-for-7.
Ortiz launched into an expletive-filled tirade when reporters pressed him on his hit-less start by reminding him of his poor performance at the beginning of the 2009 season.
Some of Ortiz's gems are as follows:
"Good," he said, turning to face the reporters encircling him. "You guys wait till [expletive] happens, then you can talk [expletive]. Two [expletive] games, and already you [expletives] are going crazy ... "What's up with that, man? [Expletive]. [Expletive] 160 games left. That's a [expletive]. One of you [expletives] got to go ahead and hit for me."
Now, to be fair, the season just started and for all we know Ortiz could finish the year .450 with 50 home runs.
After posting a .185 batting average with only one homer in April and May last season, however, the reporters in Boston had every right to question Ortiz on his poor start as it appears to be a steady downward trend with a 34-year-old well past his prime.
The man has one job – hit the ball. Seriously. He doesn't have to throw or catch or even really run. Just hit the ball and get $13 million. I highly doubt he can even run a mile without collapsing, but that's not what earns him the paycheck, so I'll let that slide.
Really, the pure economics of his situation is enough to make anyone queasy.
Last season Ortiz pocketed $86,667 dollars per game, which is roughly $24,000 per at-bat. His whopping .238 batting average means Ortiz earned more than $100,000 per hit.
Think about that. This guy makes more per hit than most Americans see in a year and he is crying about a question from a reporter? You have to be kidding me.
I really have no sympathy for this guy.
If Ortiz doesn't want the intense public scrutiny of being a professional baseball player, then go find another job.
Or if the burden of being an international superstar is too much to handle then come play for the Pirates and make a few hundred thousand dollars a year. After a few games nobody in town will care about you. Trust me.
To end on an uplifting note, Ortiz notched his first hit Wednesday night against the Yankees.
The Big Dud is now 1-for-11. Better get the tissues ready in Boston, this could be a long season.

Proverbs 17:1 A dry crust eaten in peace is better than a great feast with strife.
The summer is over and my birthday is coming up: 11-11-11. I had planned to spend these past 12 weeks working out and eating right so that I could give myself the best birthday gift of all: the fittest adult body I've ever had. Instead, I did very little and I ate too much. So, I've been kicked out of 100'sville for a little while until I can get my act together.
It would be too easy to say I'm lazy. People have been telling me that for over three decades, yet it has had virtually no effect on my behavior. And, besides, no one is as skilled at casting aspersions upon Ginger as Ginger. So what is really going on here? In order to escape this bondage, I must identify the straps that bind me.
I have always defied anyone telling me what to do and how and when to do it. Though I was suffering terribly at 350 pounds, I snubbed the guidance and support wisely offered by nutritionists, commercial programs, and medical doctors. One reason I refused to accept help was that I was afraid if I followed somebody else's advice, he/she would get all the credit. I wanted all the credit. I wanted to be an idol.
Over the past three months, I had every opportunity to skate, bike, get on my elliptical, go to the gym, go to the pool, go to the lake, but I snubbed it all. Part of the reason I refused to be good was that I saw good behavior as optional. I must surrender my will and accept that exercise is no more optional than doing the dishes. Sure, I can let them pile up one day, but two days? Ewwwww.
Demanding my just desserts
Before I began this journey, I refused to divorce myself from the one thing in life that gave me pleasure. Since I didn't drink, smoke, or do drugs, I demanded sweet, salty, and fatty foods to make me feel good. I fasted all day so that I could get high off of junk food at night. But that high never lasted long, and biochemistry defeated my best efforts to recall that feeling twice in the same day. Worse yet, intense guilt and shame quickly and powerfully took over (especially the next day).
Entitlement began to lap at the shores of my mind again, inviting me to playfully enter the shallow end. Not mindful of the undertow, I got carried away. But I've swum back to shore and, drying myself off, accept I am entitled to nothing.
Abdicating leadership
The most damaging action I took was inaction; I failed to guide and support others. I ran from the battlefield and went awol. When I am out here in Cyberspace, extending empathy, providing guidance, and cheering victories, I keep myself on the straight and narrow, or otherwise suffer the label of hypocrite.
Whipping myself
I saw "Contagion" last weekend and was shocked to learn that we touch our faces 2,000 times a day (which is probably an exaggeration, but still…). It made me wonder: if I mindlessly touch my face so often, exposing myself to harmful bacteria and viruses, how often do I mindlessly put myself down? Like the saying goes, for every roach you see, there's dozens you don't. Could one negative thought about myself – "I'm too lazy." "How stupid can I be?" "My arms are so flabby." "Why couldn't I have been a better mother?" - indicate that dozens of others lurking in the shadows? If so, how can I get this under control? Certainly, one bug at a time is not gonna work. What I need is a roach bomb for the mind.

We may have different one or come from different places BUT we share many of the same feelings. I don't think I could add to what has already been written by your spark pals BUT I do agree with them. We have our ups and downs--sometimes even after great success, we flounder, we become defiant, we become apathetic or just take a break from the work. Whatever it may be, we need to get back here and work on it with the help of our friends.
As Kathy noted, we take turns with needing help. I also think that on some level, even after we finally meet our goals and have been at goal for years...we will need to tweak our programs or get back in the saddle or need support along the way. We are human and will have momentary (sometimes longer!) lapses. As in M. Scott Peck's "The Road Less Traveled", on the very first page, first sentence, he proclaims that "Life is difficult." Oh really? Hadn't noticed! This is one of the greatest truths and we need to somehow accept that this is the way it is, that life, indeed, is difficult. This declaration doesn't seem as bad once we accept it. Yes, life is hard and challenges will be abundant. OK, that makes sense. That's why I keep struggling!! Well, enough already, right? Sometimes we are "up" for those challenges and other times we are not. Simple as that. Simple as understanding that Life is difficult. But nothing is really simple, is it?! Like losing weight and facing our demons, sometimes we feel so strong and like we are on top of it all, doing what needs to be done, dropping the pounds, unlocking all our mysteries....and then ....we aren't. We whip ourselves, we hurt ourselves, we don't want to admit we stumbled or fell flat on our faces.
When we need help, we need to look for it. What makes us really smart is to seek it rather than stoically ignore our needs or think we have all the answers and don't need others. Embarrassment, shame, pride and defiance have kept me from seeking the help I need. NO MORE. I know I need support. I may not always ask for it right away and may struggle longer because I refuse to ask for it (because of those 4 words mentioned above!) but my sparkfriends seem to pick up on these things too or just at the right time, I spark around and feel empowered enough again to face whatever it is I need to face.
Thank God for this wonderful place of support and honesty. I'm so glad you shared your feelings here, Ginger. We are here for you always-- no judgment or agenda--just support, care and understanding. Keep asking for what you need, friend. We all need to get better at this!!

I hesitate to do this for fear of you thinking I am not interested enough to post my own comment but I really feel like Kathy covered it all!! I hope you know how loved and needed you are here but not because you are perfect or have succeeded where so many of us have failed. But because you are you and we love you.

"The most damaging action I took was inaction; I failed to guide and support others. I ran from the battlefield and went awol. When I am out here in Cyberspace, extending empathy, providing guidance, and cheering victories, I keep myself on the straight and narrow, or otherwise suffer the label of hypocrite"
Herein lies some of the issue (in my humble opinion) You feel as though you are not allowed to be just like everyone else... You have had huge success and you are a master at helping others... but that doesn't mean that you are the Dr. Oz or Dr. Phil of sparking and you must always have the answers... we are all in this together, and your issues are my issues are everyone else's issues... it is all a matter of timing! Sometimes you need a shove, sometimes I need a shove... (and sometimes she does and sometimes he does) That is the beauty of this site. Your journey is not easier because you unlocked the secret for the great work you've already done... not at all, so don't feel you must be the expert or "be labeled a hypocrite".
Ginger... sweet, smart, beautiful, intelligent Ginger.... let it go... just be! You belong here, you need to be here. I left for such a long time and was under the same impression... that I would let people down if it was my turn to lean on others instead of sharing the enthusiasm for victories I had won...
You are in another "hard part" just like beginning was a hard part... so allow yourself to regroup and get over the hard part... and then... share with all of us just how you got over the hard part!
You are a consultant of sorts... you know what has worked and you cheer for those who need to get past the hurdles that you knocked down... but again, it doesn't mean that you have the answers for this phase! Seek and ye shall find!
Just keep on coming back... don't hide... You are on day three and HOORAY FOR THAT!!! What a great stride forward you have taken in the last 2 1/2 days! Keep on inching forward... don't look back on this summer's lack of full attention as a failure... look at it as the eye opening experience you needed to take the next steps toward knocking down the next hurdles...
I for one am so very happy to have seen your blog today! Yessssss! Come on back in to daily sparking my friend... you are missed! And not because you have the answers... be easier on yourself, don't touch your face so much and smile a little bit!

Ginger, you are always finding new ways to re-invent yourself. I admire that in you. I always have. You are one gutsy gal! You have such a keen and quick insight that you're able to slice straight through to the the core of the matter with just a few well-aimed strokes. Not everyone can do that.
I have full and complete confidence in you, Ginger. I am absolutely certain you will reach your final goal and become whatever size you want to be. You've worked long and hard for it, and I don't think anything, or anybody--including yourself-- will keep you down for long. You are unsinkable!
And that bit about you running from the battlefield, failing to guide and support, and perhaps laying yourself open to the risk of being called a hypocrite, is just not true. Not even one little bit. However, you do run the risk of being called HUMAN, and imperfect--like the rest of us out here (a lesson I have to learn my own self, too). Those of us in this war--and it IS a war--know there are repercussions from constant combat. There are wounds that no one but yourself can see or understand. Let's just call your (and my own) MIA days a result of Combat Fatigue--and let it go at that.
You try harder than anyone I know, Ginger, and you've helped so many of us here. PLEASE be kinder to yourself. You are loved by so many. I'm one of them. You know, it wasn't just your weight loss that inspired me so. Those are just numbers--and whether they go up or down doesn't matter near as much as the the driving force of the remarkable woman that is YOU that made it all possible. You are a rock star in my eyes.

"accept I am entitled to nothing" yes you are ... you are entitled to naturally sweet juicy fruits and fresh crispy veggies... you are entitled to be tired, sore, and achy in order to reap the glory of victory over self... you are entitled to be the very best you that you can be. Losing weight is hard... being fat is hard... choose your hard.
Defiant I understand... so does my family... sooooo.... they told me there was no way I could lose 50lbs... wasn't happening... I had to prove them wrong...LOL.... my family knows me too well.
So tell yourself you refuse to do what everyone expects and fail...you will not be put in a box... you will be strong, beautiful, and wise... you will succeed and prove everyone wrong... because you know something they don't....

My hunch is that most of us berate ourselves often. But that is a behavior and behaviors can be changed. Just identifying the problem is a partial victory. Not sure if you want to do this, but my goal is to switch to "an attitude of gratitude" when I start thinking [bad things] too much. It helps me snap out of too much introspection. When a person lives alone the way I do, it's easy to slip into stinking thinking.
Great thoughts from the other Sparkers here! Lots to feed on.

You always look so deep into yourself Ginger, whether you're comforting yourself with gentle touches of love or looking at how you strayed a little. I've been straying and working to find my way back...sometimes the negatives become more overwhelming than I like to admit. Your honesty here encourages us all to look more honestly at ourselves. Defiant.Demanding. Whipping. Drowning. I'm there.

Your honesty and forthrightness is eye-opening. I too need a roach bomb for the mind, or maybe an exterminator to come "spray" once a month! :)
I KNOW you will shake this and move back to onederland real soon and you STILL have almost 2 months before your birthday... you still got time, girl!

I love the way you write. A roach bomb for the mind - too funny! You have thoughtfully reviewed the issue and are now trying to further hone in on what is going on.
You are a brave and determined woman and I know you will set yourself right and be back in onederland real soon. Afterall... you cannot over stay your welcome in the 200's ville.
Enjoy the last vestiges of the comfortable weather this weekend. The brutal winter will be upon us soon.

Hey sweetie - are those tear drops along the way. While bearing your soul you've torn yourself apart. From what I've learned along this pathway is just about anyone wiling/wanting to give you advice, teach you, guide or instruct you isn't doing it for the credit! It's been my experience that especially the people who have "been there ~ done (and doing) that" just want to pass on the guidance they themselves have received and have always given the credit where it is due - to the individual fighting the good fight. Because all the advice in the world is useless unless it is used. And you have to be the one to choose to do it. Therefore the credit goes to you. And in doing so - you will directly or indirectly inspire others, guide and instruct others. It's a huge circle - and where better than here in sparkpeople.
Consider letting someone else guide you - they may not be as hard on you as you are and you may find this healthy lifestyle thing isn't half bad.
It's not about getting to the final number (Just repeated that to myself out-loud cause I can preach it, but have a hard time living, but I'm trying) It's about finding a healthy way to live and enjoy life. Once you allow yourself to enjoy life while living a healthy lifestyle you will have untold surprises. The confidence and self acceptance my shock and surprise you - but in a good way.
I hope this makes sense - I have so much I want to say - but don't want to preach or overwhelm. Ginger - we are here for you - just allow yourself to accept our support and guidance - and in doing so we will learn from you.

I so enjoyed your blog!!! It made me think how far I have to go in this journey - and I don't mean JUST the weight! To understand and know myself is the key and I'm working hard to unlock it!! Thanks so much for sharing your innermost thoughts - you are an inspiration truly -- and don't you forget it!

Some days the battle is hard and other days it's almost easy. I think about the first time I abused food and wish I could turn back the hands of time. I didn't have a weight problem until I was 12, diagnosed with lupus and prescribed 80 mg. of prednisone daily. If you've ever had to take steroids, it causes a craving for carbs. I can't blame my weight on that because I don't take any meds now...but the siren call is always there. I'm an EE and a compulsive eater...it's my drug of choice. Remaining food sober is a daily conscious decision. You did it once...you'll do it again. If we could only catch a glimpse of ourselves through the eyes of Jesus...

WAY TO GO! Way to identify all of the "straps that bind you."
First of all, please allow me to remind you again, you have done wonderful! Have you ever seen someone in an event, trip and fall and then get up and finish anyways? (or something of that similar nature)
The "event" isn't over and you have two choices!!!! I already know your choice, but... You COULD forget about it. Forget all the hard work you've done, forget how absolutely gorgeous you look in your little black dress, forget how much you've inspired other sparkers- like me, forget how good it feels to have an exercise "high" and how good it feels to say, "I did it!" OR do Exactly what I know you are doing and would want others to do....GO FOR IT!!!!!
Your "race" is still going! You are tough! I know it! I know you've got this! I'm here for you!
I'm in this boat with you! I spent a week in ONEderland and I'm back...JUST VISITING.. the 200's too. I've been back in 200ville for a few weeks now and I'm ready to leave! FOR GOOD! Let's get packing and leave together!
See ya in ONEderland my sparkling lime friend!

You are very hard on yourself! There must be a way to find a balance between effective self-discipline and being a tough cookie about your goals without being so unforgiving.
Please let yourself off the hook. Just start over every day and just do it. Please don't analyze things down to the very cellular level because it is just too, too depressing.
My dear, you lost it for awhile. Now accept it and go get moving again.
Here's a hug but don't slow down to return it. Just get moving right now!

Fender Super 112 issues
My early 90s 60 watts fender gets crazy loud, in a negative way. By 1 it's screaming and if it's on 3 forget it. It also makes noise like the cable is bad but I've tested it with many already. When I bought it, it didn't have have a speaker so I installed a 12" Celestion Classic Lead 80 that use to be in a 212 cab with a JCM800.
I don't know if the problem has to deal with the tubes or speaker. If anyone has experience with failed tubes and speakers please shine some light on me. Also the distortion channel is broken, it doesn't activate when the switch is pushed. I don't really expect anyone to know the problem of that but if someone does that would be great.
Here's a pic of the amp. I took it because it's up on craigslist for relatively cheap and would rather fix it than practically give it away. I thought it came out rather nice.
Did u ever get it fixed? And what was the problem and solution? I have the exact same problem with my Super 112. I bought it off Craigslist late last year. Mine wasn't working when I bought it but I was able to correct that problem (someone wired the power switch incorrectly). I haven't had a chance to open it up again to address the other problems yet.
don't bump old threads

in Problem solving
As beautiful this time if year is with all the flowers and the enjoyable pruning that occurs, it is almost my most hated time of year. This is all due to those sinister horseflys. I am currently winning the battle 15 - 1, but that one bites has caused me problems.
Has anybody got any stories, cures or remedies they would like to share?
Wish I had! OH is allergic to them and gets real problems. The only solution I know is to move to a town, right away from farm animals.
Citronella oil as general repellant. if that doesn't work, Jungle formula insect repellant extra strength 50% DEET. You can put this on clothes instead of on the skin. DEET will melt plastic so be careful not to get it on sunglasses, watchstraps etc.
If you get bit put a steroid cream such as hydrocortisone 1% on the bite, and take an antihistamine tablet such as the non drowsy one a day type. (Loratidine or Cetirizine)
Ouch! - been there a few times - but we are surrounded by paddocks and horses.
I use the antihistamine cream (+ tablet if it's really bad) as an initial treatment - but then scale down to Witch Hazel gel after a day or so. This is very soothing and cooling and stops me scratching which makes eberything much worse.
The Witch Hazel is also really good for other less serious bites and things like nettle rash & burns and it's non greasy and clear so even my OH is happy to use it.

The storage of foodstuff has important influence on freshness and taste. An optimal storage of food moreover saves time and money. Rosti Mepal, the guarantor for high quality household products out of synthetic material also ensures clearness and overview while storing food with its product collection Stora.
Whether in the fridge, in the cupboard, in large drawers or on kitchen shelves: the transparent containers with their also transparent lids ensure unreserved sight on their content – it doesn't matter if from the front, the side or from above or below. Everything clear.
Rosti Mepal offers the Stora storage boxes in ten different sizes and forms. In their dimensions, the Stora boxes are adapted to the "package dimensions" of fridges and kitchen furniture.
The six rectangular boxes with a volume between 700 and 2000 ml, can easily and safely be stacked. There are different formats for the most different aliments: two-times, wide anti-condense inserts for sausages or meat cuts and cheese slices, three higher and slim ones – for example for pasta, legumes or sweets. And also crisp bread will remain crispy, since the 160 ml Stora-box protects the long and breakable slices.
Four further round boxes in different heights with a volume of 1500 ml until 5500 ml keep special large-voluminous aliments such as cookies and larger pasta types decoratively and drily.
The transparency of the rectangular containers is emphasized by the clear forms and the pleasant-to-touch material. Coloured closure rings in black, red, lime or purple, which end up handy, set attractive and characteristic contra-points in the design. The sealing ring ensures an aroma-tight closing of the versatile storage boxes, which are easily cleanable in the dishwasher.
With the production series Stora, Rosti Mepal again proves its long-lasting credo of optimally connecting design, quality and function.

|Fear and Happiness in the Twenty-First Century City
|by Anna Minton
|Published by Penguin Books, paperback original, 26th June 2012, £9.99
Brought up-to-date with new material, including a chapter on the true Olympic legacy, Ground Control is a revelatory and passionate defence against the privatisation of our streets and the disturbing reality of Britain today.
Britain's streets have been transformed by the construction of new property – but it's owned by private corporations, designed for profit and watched over by CCTV. Have these gleaming business districts, mega malls, gated developments – even the Olympic Park – led to 'regeneration', or have they intensified social divisions and made us more fearful of each other?
Anna Minton's acclaimed polemic, now updated to cover the UK property collapse and London's controversial Olympic Park, shows us the face of Britain today. It reveals the untested – and unwanted – urban planning that is changing not only our cities, but the nature of public space, of citizenship and of trust.
"Anna Minton has done us a service with this book…compelling"
|"Anna Minton has put her finger on one of the most profound and disturbing shifts in modern British cities"
Evening Standard
|"timely and powerful study…revelatory"
Rafael Behr, Observer
Anna Minton is the recipient of five national journalist awards. She was former staff writer for the Financial Times and writes regularly for the Guardian. Anna is the author of The Joseph Rowntree Foundation Viewpoint on fear and distrust and is a member of the writers' panel for The Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment.

She was at the club and having a good time for herself and a guy friend of hers took her out to his car. They were gone quite a while so I sent her friend out to look for her. A few minutes later she came in and reported that Yui was in he car with him and getting a hard ride!

Intl Bank of Azerbaijan plans to launch Islamic Banking service in 2011
Baku, Fineko/abc.az. International Bank of Azerbaijan proceeds introduction of Islamic Banking services.
"The project on introduction of Islamic banking products and services in IBA's activities is being realized successfully. Up to date, the IBA management adopted a concept including introduction and development of Islamic banking in the Bank. The concept worked out specially by a working group offers strategic decisions and concrete measures," said the head of the Islamic banking introduction team Behnam Gurbanzadeh.
It is worth noting that the IBA is the first bank in Azerbaijan, which has attracted and used in practice successfully products of financing within Islamic banking. In 2009, the Bank established a special group to open Islamic Window unit in the IBA.
"Today, the concept of the project on opening of "Islamic window" is ready. It describes clearly the stages that include the beginning of work in compliance with valid legislation, and proposals for appropriate amendments to available laws. We've almost realized the first stage of the project, which implied preparatory work. At the moment we're working on the second and final stage, which includes involvement of international experts to start-up and monitor implementation of the project. The Bank is in talks and examines proposals of several international consulting companies. In November we'll be ready to present formally the consultant and begin joint launch of the project," Gurbanzadeh added.

Orioles: Still waiting
We were pretty sure we'd know something official by this point on the status of Andy MacPhail and Buck Showalter, but there has been no announcement following a summit involving the two of them and owner Peter Angelos on Thursday afternoon. It's no secret that MacPhail will give up his current title as president of baseball operations, but whether he walks away completely or remains in some advisory role remains unclear.
If you had asked me on Wednesday, I would have guessed that MacPhail was going to make a clean break and take some time off with his family. The fact that the announcement has not been made makes me wonder if Angelos talked MacPhail into sticking around for awhile as a special advisor to help the transition to a new front office hierarchy.
I'm guessing Angelos would give MacPhail just about any title he wants in the organization (other than co-owner), because he trusts MacPhail and needs somebody with vast front office experience to call on for advice. Though MacPhail seems to want out, it isn't out of the question that Peter might make him an offer he can't refuse.
I realize there are a lot of Orioles fans who want MacPhail to head on down the highway, but he has had a positive effect on the organization, even if it wasn't apparent in the standings during his 4 1/2 years as GM.
If I was to guess, I would think something will be announced tomorrow that clears up the uncertain status of both MacPhail and Showalter.

Good column, Colin. Interesting that noone has posted a remark yet, don't you think?
Much as I applaud the ruling in Sheff v O Neil, it hasn't really produced any results. And for the poorest of the poor in school systems like Hartford or New Haven, NCLB hasn't helped either.
I don't know how we solve some of the worst plights of these kids. So many are children of children of children, whose parents and grandparents see no value in education. Compounded by the social environment, lack of basic safety, lack of all those things you listed, it makes it hard to reach these kids, nevermind teach them.
We better figure something out, because this problem is only going to grow more widespread if we don't.
Watch Season 4 of The Wire.
COLIN WRITES: Í'm glad you said that. I thought season 4 of The Wire was the most eloquent statement on all these issues that I have ever seen.
You are exactly right. This "lawsuit" was about a myriad of societal ills but the education system was the easiest to legally challenge. Excellent post!
This is such a sad reality. Universal not for profit Healthcare seems like a logical first step. I remember hearing a long range plan in Boston after the Busing debacle, which was to build new schools at the geographic borders where lower and middle class neighborhoods intersect. An example would be where Park Street turns into Park Road. This always made sense to me.
Can I clarify that I am using class in a purely economic sense in the previous comment. I meant where lower income and middle income neighborhoods naturally intersect. Thanks.
Great words.
Just to let you know, many schools are cutting down on field trips due to safety concerns.
Bill Cosby has tried to rally the faithful to value education but it can't compete with other social issues. Lot's of research has been done on this strange anti education value system. Nightline - perhaps 4 or 5 years ago? Worth checking out. A strong mentoring system in the early grades would help. The learning of basic skills is important. Having parents join their kids in learning helps. This is not an educational issue but an economic one. Responsibility. Accountability. I always started the year with my 8th grade LA
Hey Colin:
I am a product of the Hartford Public School System of the Nineties (K-8). Remember, some of the hope that came out of Sheff vs. O'Neill.
And then, it faded - quite quickly- into virtual obscurity. Were there any results? No. Years of bickering over how to come through with the ruling has killed any chance of it ever coming to fruition.
Teachers still get paid "battle-pay." Have people tried at all? Where does something like this begin? Does it begin in the 40's with HUD/FHA Neighborhood Racial Homogeneity standards? Do we blame it on the lack of money leading to a neglected school system for decades? Do we blame it on the Drugs, the single-mothers, the teen-mothers, the dead-beat dads, the high rate of crime?
When things like this are so interconnected; how does one fix this? These are all questions that I ask myself when I think of my city.
And the biggest question of all: "If Education is the Key to get out. What is the key to gain that 'education?' As obviously, the "education" that is given in the HPS is substandard and poor.
Thanks for commenting. I had missed this post the first time around, so I'm glad you brought it back up to the top.
In the 90s, I did a little bit of training for teachers in the Hartford public schools. It was a disheartening experience. The teachers had a huge backlog of unrelated frustrations that they seemed to want to express to anyone who came in the door. It was very hard for them to stay on the topic of the training. When people work in unhealthy organizations, it's hard to get anything done.
Unhealthy organizations can get better, though. Usually they don't because the key players fail to address organizational dynamics and culture change. Instead, outrageous amounts of money go toward just rearranging problems rather than getting down to core issues. No one seems to want to look at core institutional problems or seek the help of a competent organizational therapist.
It's true that the schools alone cannot solve all of Hartford's problems. In the late seventies, our country had a new, cohesive, and very cost-effective plan to provide wrap-around services that, as demonstrated in research, help kids and families grow to stand on their own two feet and live in dignity. The plan also would have saved the taxpayer money because when we catch problems early, we don't have to build as many prisons, more people are employable, teen pregnancy is less common, and we don't incur other inflated social costs that we are experiencing today. Cohesive prevention programs make a ton of sense because they are so cost-effective. The original Head Start, for example, typically saved the taxpayer 9 times as much money as it costed to run the program because the effects on participants lasted into teen and adult years. Participants were less likely to commit crime, more likely to be employed, had children at later ages, were less likely to need welfare, etc.
Unfortunately, when the 80s arrived so did a sea change in values. The community mental health centers (CMHCs) that were to provide prevention and support services were never funded. But in spite of the unplanned lack of support services, huge numbers of people with mental illnesses were de-institutionalized. This meant that many were kicked out of hospitals, given medication, and put on the streets. Homelessness and drug addiction quickly became a serious problem. So, we built prisons that are much more expensive and much less effective in addressing target problems. We've institutionalized the mentally ill again, but in more expensive prisons rather than in hospitals. So many of the problems we have now grew from seeds planted in the 80s, but we don't seem to want to look back and learn.
Social Economics created this mess. The Entitlement train needs to stop. Having Babys without thinking who is going to feed and properly take care of them seems to be the answer for many seeking the easy way to make a living.After all we have plenty of Taxpayer funded programs that make sure these welfare babys are not going without the basics. If the Mother has a live in Boyfriend with a job thats a bonus. And go figure, Taking about Donations. Hmm Our wealthy Liberals in Conn give the least and have the most,So lets not talk about the Christains that do alot more than the baptist churches in Conn. Not to mention the others that have popped up in recent years. This story reflects a middle class outlook on the real world in the streets. Making all the wrong mistakes in life is bad luck or your choice to make. Just dont blame others for your mistakes. Thats what my kids do.

I'm very blessed to have a wife so beautiful and talented. While she can beat me very handily by 40 or more pins on average at bowling ( 150 vs 190) my skill and passion is cycling.
We really enjoy the meetup rides on the So Flat area on tuesday and wednesday nights but since she doesnt' ride as much as I do, she tends to fall behind. This was not a big probelem when we ride the tandem as I can usually keep us in the B group.
Lately, however, she was not able to ride and it showed. She would always be at the back of the pack struggling to hang on. I tried pulling her, but it's very difficult to judge when I'm going too fast.
Last night I tried the simple "hand on the back" techique, I was surprised how easy it was to push her along at 3 or 4 mph faster even w/o a draft. This enabled her to enjoy a ride much more than she otherwise would have. I enjoyed it more because I" was working" a little rather than seeing how slow I could go. I used to ride my roadie on these rides, but it was frustrating. I had a hard time keeping my moto at speed, and I was not feeling like I was "earning the ride."
I started riding my mtg on the rides and it was a huge improvement. The added weight and rolling resistance from the fat tires slowed me but gave a sense of accomplishment. But the real satisfaction came when I got the ideal to gently "push" my wife along. Both of us got a real workout and a lot more enjoyment from the ride.
Now I now that it is far more enjoyable for both of us if I give her a "gentile nudge" as we go on the more demanding rides than if I try to play the hero and pull. Our future rides will be more enjoyable for both of us!
It was a real "win - win" for both of us.
What puzzles me is why we can't seem to do this well on the tandem.

Am going to tag this one with #edfutures but due to other strands coming in if you are unfamiliar with this blog it may involve extra post reading so sorry in advance if doesn't make enough sense. I have been following along but not participating in edfutures really, partly because wanting to try and make sense of personal educational future that embarking on. This may be a bit waffly and if you're new to my blog apologies now.
About 2 months ago I attempted to outline in a couple of emails to someone – possible thoughts about a future I was hoping to pursue – before telling myself, well the emails were telling myself too as such – anyway – I have since deleted them in one of spring cleaning bursts so can't remember much of what I said which is a pain. Or maybe not, maybe starting semi-clean again will be good. But I need to be more open now and stop burdening others although I do deeply appreciate the listening and feedback. I have to move on and do something now.
I am straying more and more away from defining what it is I want to be – following reading most of Christopher Alexander book on form, have become increasingly reluctant to define anything and everything. So without trying to define anything and without telling much to people and with my current situation (i.e. work) still to be defined by powers that want to be..powerful…
So where is a good place to go in life when you have been a primary & TEFL teacher, worked in a hospital library teaching online skills, hr, eHR, elearning, egovernment, learning technology, online collaboration and some temporary contracts in between? I am not ambitious in the traditional career sense of the word – which is why I have worked in other areas since PwC.
Would my time, energies be better focused if I remained in more conventional learning / learning technology / educational roles – could I make anything better in the world that way? Dunno ?
If things aren't right, they HAVE to change. That is not just a reflection on personal life which is important too, dissatisfaction with standard educational provision (oh so easy/sweet/refreshing to have something different that is not the same old…) Its more than any of that, if you have a healthy mind (relatively), body (relatively) and exist on this planet, its important to try and help other people who don't have what you have – why – because for them, life sucks more ! And in case that sounds too mushy, I do occasionally kick people at and they kick me too.
Physiotherapy is an attractive route which has lots of uncertainties including just because I think I will really like it, doesn't mean I actually will. And what value does it add to me or anyone else if I do it? It has always made some sense due to the amount of messing around with mobile devices that I have done in the past – but didn't go anywhere with it and no intention of doing so now. And with the above experience, in effect I would be sailing, walking, riding into the unknown – do I need formal education and/or training (assuming they are different entities) in order to do it? And is physiotherapy the right 'outcome' for me – I'm not 100% sure – very happy to leave that open.
I thought about this in depth last summer and at the time tried to figure out what would be a good way of moving towards this route – part of the reason for taking a contract job was the start of it. Then doing cck09 was a revelation – even though I went OTT and ran around like excited dog off the lead for first few weeks, then collapsed then just ran around a few other areas before collapsing again – there was a lot of challenges, but a lot of fun and amazing connecting with some completely lovely people.
When thinking more seriously about it along the way – I was particularly interested in what Stephen and others were saying about modelling (think it was somewhere in the forums but can't remember where or which week) and started to think – maybe I don't need to go down the university route (e.g. for physiotherapy its a 4 yr MSc). But would I ever be taken seriously if I didn't – as per regenerating 1, 2.
Then there is the other bit of connectivism relating to learning which is where for me personally – the physio bit fits in – when I first read "We are being remade by our connectivity" (1) a few years ago, then reading also from George Siemens on elearnspace about neuroplasticity and tools, sometimes things just leap out at you – I want to understand what being remade means in terms of a human body moving , not just brain, but the connectivity – with everything that I understand about technological networks of any kind – its like a hope at possibility of this being true !
I attended a webinar last week on clinical trials – it is approx 20% success rate across most disease areas and 5-10% for Parkinsons. Is there a role for a learning theory and practice which uses technological networks to assist in alternative therapies?
So, I would like to embark on two quests at the same time – to learn about physical learning and therapy in a connective, non-traditional educational way and to test out my own understanding of what is connectivism at the same time. I would like to try out this route roughly as follows
- what would be peer assessment – how to demonstrate competence and build trust (have chatted with a friend who has a lot of health and education experience about youtube peer-reviews of therapeutic practices – subject to patient consent of course). Have seen some posts on edfutures that have bookmarked to read around open peer assessment too.
- mentors – finding suitable mentors for this route – not just health professionals – people who have changed careers, made potentially high-risk life decisions, people who can provide useful comments on validity and quality of this kind of learning approach.
- apprentice – try and find places and nice people who could be persuaded to let me observe then maybe work with them
One of the weakest areas was anatomy and physiology for me, so sweated a fair amount about doing this 11 week course that currently on – but it is also a great chance to evaluate how I learn and how I might learn. E.g. the difference between reading a book about physical education futures and reading different perspectives and interactions from multiple participants with views on education futures online.
Have never created a PLE before yesterday – still haven't quite yet, but have slightly revised some of the wording since posting yesterday. This feels like a major step forward – making sense of a disoriented environment full of lots of other people saying lots of different things and mountain upon mountain of information and ideas. Actually one of the things which stuck out after looking at today is the lack of people in it. As previously mentioned, I will probably not have any contact with other students on the a&p course so how will I connect and keep my environment alive.
If I carry on communicating in the ways I have been doing lately with way too much email for example, this doesn't change anything so probably won't learn anything any better. Need to try and keep an open mind and question everything because this matters so much. This blog post is a first step in clarifying thoughts about being more open. Now I need to go off and find some new people to connect with

(I originally wrote most of this in response to some one and can't find now… but I decided to post it.)
I see a lot of blogs about Guys being, to forward, showing their privates in pictures. Not accepting rejection. ETC:::::::::::::
In some ways, one can understand that there are guys who might just find you sexy and want to bonk you. "all night long, all night. La La La…………………"
In regard to them putting it on you, in no uncertain terms.
Well you're forgetting that their guys. That what guys do. Well the straight ones, anyway. Sure some of us are more eloquent.
And secondly, you need to look at the top, left hand side of the web page. This is a "100% free sex & swingers personals Site….."
Perhaps if you think of it like, wearing a very short mini skirt without panties, with a low cut transparent blouse, no bra, in a crowded porn shop.
It's the equivalent of a large, in your face billboard advertisement, it's likely your going to get people answering the add, that the producer (or advertiser) isn't interested in. But in the end, it's up to the (producer or advertiser) which is you, if you want to sell them the product.
As for hard up to accept a rejection.
You should try to be a straight reasonably good looking man working and associating with gay men. Talk about "Water off a ducks back". I no longer associate with a gentleman who I considered to be a close friend, after 15 years of him hitting on me. Frankly I could only pass it off as a joke for so long. I just got sick of saying "No thanks, I'm straight". "it's not that your not an attractive man, it just that guys don't do it for me".
I even explained to him (and others) that some ladies have me unconsciously grinding my teeth, while parts of my anatomy are applying for any position (even boring old missionary), just watching them walk by.
Saying phrases such as "Let just say I would crawl over her to get to you mate". Bah!!!!!! Talking about wasting my breath……….
Men like to look at girls bits, so naturally we reckon, you ladies like to look at ours.
Male logic. LOL
SO Please, take it easy on those less fortunate then yourself, in the looks, linguistics, oral and or written language skills, eloquence or what ever department.

Good blog...makes sense. BUT...
How often do we have to see blogs about guys whining that no women will answer their emails? How often do we have to get emails telling us that we're rude bitches because we don't want to talk to them? This is the kind of crap women have to put up with just because "this is a sex site"?

I had a dick pic up long before you stumbled in, I put a face pic up and met a wonderful woman...

Oh shit I'm still signed in under my super duper female hell raising profile huh?

Look we're all guilty of being offensive form time to time. (wether you regret it or not)
People get it into their heads that they can't (fill in the blank)
and this is a common feeling particularly among the non stereotypical person in our global society. (forgive me a generalization)
They believe and take on attitudes EG; I'm not healthy enough, I'm too fat, I'm butt ugly, my breast are to small, , my breast are to big, my cock is to small, my cock is to big, (so many men don't really understand the capacity of a women's vagina) I'm only 2 ft 6, LOL where ever....
And at times they last out, and direct their pain, their self recrimination, towards the very thing, person or object of their desires. In some desperate need to be accepted, To be wanted, to be loved, they lash out at the very people they aspire to desire them, to love them.
If you were to take the theory, that the quality of your life is based on your perception, and that all things are positive.
So in some ways, they unintentional give you a compliment. By showing they desire you.
But then again what the hell would I know.
Spend a few intimate emotional days with me and you find I have my fair share of emotional baggage. Yes I sort through it form time to time. Throwing a piece our here, embracing another there. Working through the trunks, with an aim of ending up with carry on.
May you always have a warm embrace, and not have to sleep in the wet spot.
