These are a few thoughts about my life and life in general. Some may be humorous, some serious - just like life. Come join me!Grandma Khttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16273058.post-90148623147195903082016-07-20T12:17:00.000-05:002016-07-20T12:17:08.675-05:00And the saga goes onMonday, we killed two snakes in the grass. There was one other, but we would have gone to prison for killing that one. That one was the neighbor who used to be so helpful. Have you ever heard the term he was so sweet that "sugar wouldn't melt in his mouth?" Well - that was/is this guy. Until he decides he is going to screw you. Sorry but that's the best descriptor I can think of at this point. Yes, he is at it again.

When he knew no one, he was so helpful and kind. He was the interloper in a county of family members. The first one he drew down on was his neighbor to the south. Reggie was fairly young at the time, and he had gotten a huge chunk of land from his dad. He didn't really know much about cattle and didn't handle that situation well. We had his cattle when we first put up the house, and I swore I would NEVER let him lease again. His cattle ate all the grass, and they were starving. When you have a herd of cattle staring at you in the house and their mouths are full of prickly pear thorns, it breaks your heart. So Gene went after him.

His latest is that he is trying to deny easement to everyone through his property. Our big problem is that when my FIL bought our property from Reggie's dad, they didn't draw up a formal easement. It was just understood. Then came in big city trouble. Our attorney says we have no problem because we have been using the road for way too many years for Gene to revoke our right. He is even going after Reggie however who does have a 30-foot easement.

At our cattle guard, the road is only about 20 feet. Gene has put stakes at the side of what he is giving. He is really trying to force us into putting in a new road by limiting our turning space.

This all came to a head this weekend when the guy came to pick up Rusty. He couldn't swing his trailer into the cattle guard. So the stakes were taken down, and he did go on to Gene's property. This is where the hogs rooted it up last year.

Gene called us Monday about it. He was upset (mild term), and said "he drove into my pasture. That ground has grass burrs and cactus. Nothing. Else. Then he said he would "let it go THIS TIME,

At one time, this snake in the grass, when he knew no one else, would have even helped. Now he is just a jackass.

His legal fight with Reggie is still in the hands of the attorneys. This is a year that the attorneys were going to "talk about it." This is going to cost them $$$$. Gene should just give it up. Reggie was just elected County Commissioner. If it goes to trial, a local boy, relative to most, and recently elected County Commissioner is going to prevail I really believe. But in the meantime, he is driving us mad.

And Gene wonders why the folks up there don't sell to outsiders. Sure wish they had followed suit with this one.

In this heat, G, in his glorious wisdom, had decreed that we will stay only as long as absolutely necessary. That term is five days! He must have heard me remark that he can read a book at home as easily as he can here! And the pool is at home.

We sold the old farm truck. We bought Rusty a number of years ago to use around here for odd jobs. He came by his name for a good reason. He was very rusty when we bought him, and certainly not gotten any better. We haven't used him in several years. In this hilly terrain, you don't want to use a vehicle that has poor to no brakes! And we bought a Kawasaki Mule to do the chores Rusty was to do. The Mule can go where a 1967 Ford F-100 just couldn't.

Brian is the one who sold Rusty. The buyer is with the band he sings with, not his band.

The guy finally got headed in the right direction (GPS sent him to Austin not Mason, but at least it was the right direction), and arrived with the family. I really wasn't expecting a 10-month-old and about a 3-year-old! And this is where my title of this post originated.

I must have been a very controlling mother with my kids, and even the first three grandchildren. When we went someplace, I didn't let them just roam about. These days, that seems to be what parents do.

I first noticed this when we went to visit one of G's aunts that lives up here. Brian and family were here, and we all went over. As soon as we were in the door, William and Delaney headed for another room - uninvited. G and I haven't been in that room in ages! But off they went! I was mortified. They weren't stopped by their parents. When they came back with some items (I don't remember what they were now), I wanted to drop through the floor. And nothing was said to them. They were allowed to continue to play with them. Of course, William will do that everywhere. He will open drawers, cabinet doors, etc.

As I said I wasn't expecting children yesterday. The first thing the three-year-old did was to pick up a book from the bookshelf. She did have to put that back, but then it was on to the dog toys. Now, she had toys of her own, but it was the dog toys. Then both she and the baby took to the vertical blinds. I thought they were going to be broken for sure! Nothing was said to them. Then it was off to the fireplace tools. She took the broom out and started to play with that.

I just sat with a fixed smile on my face and tried to not scream. I guess I just don't understand parenting today. My kids would never have been allowed to act this way.Grandma Khttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16273058.post-7774571130926045242016-07-08T12:13:00.001-05:002016-07-08T12:13:24.712-05:00To get my mind straightLast night we went with the family (minus SIL and Reagan) out to dinner to celebrate my son's (Brian) 40th (!!!!!) birthday. An aside here - I cannot believe my baby is 40!!! I. AM. SO. OLD!

This wouldn't be cause for much discussion with the exception of my feeling ancient, but I went against something G always says. If you go to a restaurant that specializes in something - order that something.

We went to a restaurant that I guess is Texas in origin and is only here. It is Saltgrass Steak House. Hence - they specialize in STEAKS.

I spent quite a while pouring over the menu. All of their steaks were large. I usually like the 6-8 ounce filet. The smallest steak they had was a 10 oz something. Too big. I know there wasn't much of a difference, but still...

So after a long deliberation. I saw they had a chicken breast stuffed with artichoke hearts, spinach, and mushrooms (and some other stuff). That was my order.

We arrive at this restaurant at 6. We got our drinks at 6:45, along with salads for those of us that ordered them. At 7:15 the entrees came out. There were 10 of us. Nine got their entree. I didn't.

The waitress said that mine came out "blue" instead of "black." Now, I was rather shocked at BOTH colors - chicken is brown. Anyway, it was being refired. The manager came out and profusely apologized asking what else they could do, and he was sorry for the wait. I started to say he could comp my meal!

By that time - I was no longer hungry, but realized that I would still be charged for the meal. It finally arrived at 8. I ate about half. We got Brian a HUGE piece of carrot cake (as you can see) which should have been free anyway since it was his BD (I didn't ask G about it - I knew the bill was as huge as the cake anyway!). We shared this cake, and the evening was over! Now we are gearing up for his surprise party on Saturday.

Moral of the story. When in a steak house - order steak!

G just told me that he received an email from the hotel manager.

They send a note of apology for our experiences with the "neighbor" this past weekend. The real kicker is that they comped BOTH nights for us.

This wasn't something we requested, and as far as we're concerned it was far and above what we even thought of in our wildest imagination. It, of course, is appreciated. Think we will push for further reunions there - you bet! Guess they thought that 35+ people staying at their facility was important.

I DO regret this ever happened. From the first perceived insult on, I do regret the situation. But this lady repeatedly tried to find anything for retribution. We both bet she is on some list somewhere for this chain. Just sayin'.

*********************************************************************************

Unrelated to the above. Went to the cardio doc yesterday. I was wondering when he was going to announce his news, and it was yesterday. He is retiring in October! Boo!

I am beginning to feel like the Queen (I think) song - And Another One Bites the Dust. I think at this point in time I just need to get a Primary Care Physician. There is no reason to see a Cardiologist. I don't have heart disease (yet!). All he does for me is to check my blood pressure and those meds.

I am going to miss him however. Our relationship over the last few years has become really good.

Looks like the rain will hold off for a while today, so hopefully I can finally make it to Costco! Meal planning has been difficult because I don't have any vegetables - fresh or frozen. No potatoes. Sides are sparce about these parts.Grandma Khttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16273058.post-19226520345448902902016-06-27T13:23:00.002-05:002016-06-27T13:23:12.002-05:00Where have I been?The answer is kind of a long story.

Of course, two weeks ago we were hunkered down at the SSB trying our best to stay cool. After a wonderful Spring, the heat is coming fast and furious. It still wasn't as bad as it can get up there, but it was plenty warm enough. After the refrigerator fiasco a few months ago, I understand we have to go check on things.

The hunters are really coming along with the new hunter's cabin. The foundation is done, sub-flooring in and walls are roughed in. I guess next will be the roof. They want a metal roof, G doesn't want to pay that much. I just shut up!

Before we left, I went to the Pulmonologist/Sleep Doctor for him to check the CPAP. All that was fine, and he gave me a new script for a nasal spray. Reading the pamphlet, it said a side effect could/would be a sore throat. Well - I was getting a really sore throat. Within two days, my throat was raw. I just wanted to cry it hurt so! Then the cough started. So I spent 6 days suffering. There are no doctors close.

Here we are almost two weeks later and I am still coughing. The sore throat is gone, but I have terrible laryngitis. For me, that's really bad. I still haven't gone to a doctor because I don't think there is anything that can be done. It's just going to take time, but I DO have a cardio appointment tomorrow. Perhaps he can have some miraculous cure for me.

This past weekend was a family reunion in Dallas. There were some rough spots, but overall it was good. The first one had to do with Brian (son) making plans for us all to go to dinner on Friday night. It was to a restaurant owned by one of his friends. Steve (son-in-law) doesn't believe in waiting until anyone else heads out. This place was 30 minutes away, and off he took.

When we got there, Steve has already arrived and gone into the restaurant and took over everything. Brian had told the owner we were coming, and (to me obviously) should have been the one to set things up. He was really furious. Steve has an insecurity complex 100 miles wide. He has to bluster his way into things so that he looks important. And he did. I really can't blame Brian. This was his deal, and he was so thrilled to do it. We knew the owner had to be in Ft Worth for a wedding, and that is a shame with the way things turned out. John would have shut Steve down in a heart beat.

G made a terrible mistake on Saturday morning, and we suffered a bit for it. He was leaving our room. There was a woman coming out of the room next to us, and he mistook her for one of the hotel employees. They were dressed much alike - I would swear they bought their purple smocks at the same place. Unfortunately the women are black. Our "neighbor" was highly incensed about his error.

He often does let a hotel room door close rather loudly, but if you let it close on its own - they do make noise. One time he was leaving after their initial encounter, she accosted him saying "do you always have to slam the door." After that, we did everything possible to make sure it made NO noise at all. Which didn't happen, but it was really quiet.

That evening, she was at the desk complaining about us. The family met in the lobby because the meeting room was booked, and we were allowed to meet in the lobby and pool. I heard her say that there was "an old man that slams the door." My hearing isn't great, and we were all talking so I didn't hear it all, but my daughter said she heard her say "because I am black."

I don't talk politics here. That is not what my blog is for, and I am going to bring it up this time and this time only. We are liberal. VERY liberal. Her skin color has/had nothing to do with anything or any exchanges we had. So her statement bothered me and still does.

Yesterday, she was back at the desk. I had no idea what she was saying this time, but after a bit when we returned to our room to pack things up, there was a knock at the door. With trepidation, I went to the door expecting to see the little bespectacled lady. Nope - it was the woman from the desk. She said that it had been reported that we were smoking in our room! We. Don't. Smoke. Even when G did, it was never in the house or a hotel room.

I told the desk person to come in. There was no smoke. I can't remember all of what I said, but apparently I alluded to the problems with this woman (who was standing in her door way observing and probably hoping this situation would get us fined and/or thrown out). The desk person said - no that woman didn't complain, to which I replied that she had been doing nothing but complaining at the desk.

The kicker that I really loved was that she had a little yappy dog in her room. Now - we had not heard a peep from that animal at all, but it was going nuts then. I was able to remark about "Oh - that dog!" Stupid woman should have shut her door to shut up that dog right then. I kept telling the desk woman to come into the room and smell for herself that there was NO smoke.

After she left, the phone rang. You know what I thought - it was crazy woman. No - it was the desk apologizing AND comping us a night!

My daughter in law had thought crazy was the one hoping to get a free stay, but we did! The desk person said it was clear, she smelled no smoke. She was aware we had not been smoking. I think she saw all of what had transpired the night before. I don't know if crazy got anything comped or not, but we surely did!!

Oh and by the way - crazy woman stepped to the outside door that night. G and Brian were outside. Brian WAS smoking. I think that's where she got that hair brained idea to "get us."

Grandma Khttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16273058.post-91331015035412815522016-06-08T15:52:00.002-05:002016-06-08T15:52:36.535-05:00What a day!I believe I have alluded to the fact that I have claimed the upstairs of my house as MY area - my crafting/sewing area. It is two bedrooms (just one has a bed), a bath and a sitting area because when we took in the attic, the contractor couldn't figure out what else to do with that space that runs in front of the Hollywood bath and bedrooms. So he called it the gallery. It too is a storage area. No one is to breach my area. So there were some things that haven't been done - in YEARS.

One of those things was to move an old mattress under the bed that is there. It was stored there when daughter, son-in-law, step-grand would come to visit. Megan had to stay WITH them. Not in the bedroom downstairs that had a twin bed.

When my son and his wife were living with her mother, the mother didn't want his cats. So we kept them for a while. Back in some of the earlier posts, I am sure I lamented about one of those cats - Sasha! The took great joy in watching things commit assisted suicide. She would get on the counter (which I also hated, but could never catch her) and tap objects, especially glass ones, until they fell off and shattered.

So I found a cat playhouse. It was about 2x3x6. She and Sebastian were to spend the unsupervised times in said playhouse. It really was for outside use - so they could be getting some fresh air while safe, but for me, it was the bunkhouse. She HATED it. I would have to chase her down.

She loved to hide under the bed upstairs. That room had not become the fabric/ribbon, completed projects awaiting sale room. But that little mattress was under that bed, and it gave her perfect cover.

One night I pulled it out of the one side of the bed. It has remained there for a long time because getting it back was not easy like it had been. It looked horrible and took up a lot of space - that I really need for my totes.

This afternoon I tackled that mattress. I would have had someone take it down to put in the garbage, but with our rains and garbage day being on Tuesday for this type of thing, I couldn't get one of the boys to help. It went back into its place. Someday, someone will have to deal with it.

But to move it, I had to take the top mattress off, the box springs off, and then pull that thing under. There isn't that much available room for all that "stuff." I was petrified that I would fall. I. Don't. Fall. At least if I can possibly help it. I can't get up easily.

But it is done. Now it's quiet time to let my poor old body freeze up. I will go back tomorrow and tackle the totes that have to be sorted and put away more properly! But there's always tomorrow ...Grandma Khttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16273058.post-15491644065966578262016-06-07T16:09:00.001-05:002016-06-07T16:09:10.087-05:00AmusingDo you get a number of solicitors and/or robo calls? We surely do!

I have gotten to where I use my Caller ID all the time. If I don't know the number - I do not answer. My philosophy is and always has been that I pay for this telephone, therefore I speak to whom I wish. If I don't answer, and it's important, there is always an answering service of some sort hooked up to that line. Leave a message.

This attitude of mine carries over to the phone at the SSB, although it is more difficult there. I will answer more calls than here at home. We often have calls out to service people. It is a difficult situation there because their attitude is that they don't want to work in the first place. It can be done later - they are going hunting, or fishing, or ... They are not lazy people, but life moves at a completely different pace. That can be infuriating when the time for them to get something done is short.

I also don't answer my cell to calls that are not in my directory. I am immensely happy that there is no longer the monthly charge PLUS a charge for each call!! I hate that those numbers have been supplied to the solicitors! Just this minute got one from 00000000000. You KNOW I was going to answer that one!

I did miss an important one yesterday. I didn't recognize the area code. I also didn't know G had been calling people about the trip he wants to take to Hawaii. Guess what - it was one of those returning the call. I didn't check messages until 10pm last night! I didn't think there was going to be a message.

Two others we got were from area codes that were strange. The calls were even stranger, and I really need to call the police about them. They weren't the common IRS scam calls. They were saying that someone at this number has been charged on five criminal accounts, and they were going to "help" us get through these accusations. One ended: "if you ignore this call, all we can do is wish you good luck." Very legal, right?

Grandma Khttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16273058.post-44704626668792563042016-06-04T10:14:00.001-05:002016-06-04T10:14:41.727-05:00Hello from Aqua WorldJust this morning on the news, the weather guru said that our "excess" rain is in double digits, and we are good all through the summer with all the reservoirs, rivers, creeks, and bayous overflowing. It. Can. Stop. Any. Day! I know when it is hot and dry (at least I guess it may be) in August, we will be wanting some of this rain, but it is dangerous around here.

Last week I accompanied Daughter and Grand to Austin for a water polo tournament. This was the day following another of our catastrophic area rain events. This time, it was to our north. I KNEW how bad it was between us and Austin, and frankly, I wondered why the tournament wasn't cancelled. But off we went.

When we got to the bridge across the Brazos river, I was amazed. G and I had gone over the river a few days before, and it was the highest I had ever seen it. This time, it had spilled out of its banks and covered all the adjoining pasture land.

I had seen coverage of this on TV the night before, but in person, it was just horrible. I knew there were cattle in that particular field. The rancher couldn't get them to higher ground before the flood because it came so quickly and at night. The cattle were swept away, many drowning.

That morning we crossed that area, there were about six large stock trailers waiting in the area for any stock that were found. There were a few cows that had drowned in the pasture. It was such a sad thing.

Now the river is cresting downstream, and ranchers are waiting until it is almost totally too late to move their cattle and the result is again some have drowned. People are not leaving ahead of the crest. They are getting stranded. Apparently they haven't been watching what happened to the folks in Waller/Montgomery counties. Such a shame.

But we finally made it to Austin (about an hour later than planned because of the HORRIBLE traffic in Waller County), and Katie swam in four games. In actuality, it was a waste. The only teams they swam against were from the same water polo club. Which is named Viper Pigeons by the way! What a name!

Nothing has been going on in our lives because we tend to stay in during these rain events. For one thing, I don't like to get too far away in a heavy rain because we might not be able to get back home. If the bayou about a half a mile away goes out of its banks, we can't get home.

The only thing new is that a friend wants me to write an article for her quilting magazine. I. Do. Not. Quilt. I know very little about it. I am really putting her off. There are many, many good articles out there about combining machine embroidery and quilting. The authors of THOSE articles know what they are talking about - totally, and not just the embroidery. I care nothing about being a published author!!!

So this has been my life. Next week I will take the oldest grandson out to do something. I didn't go to his "graduation exercise" from elementary to middle school (it was raining as usual), and he got his feelings hurt. Katie keeps teasing her siblings that she is the favorite grandchild, and right now he is believing her. I guess we will go to lunch (just the two of us) at least, perhaps a movie (I don't like his preferred genre, but...)!Grandma Khttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16273058.post-72733323165052189572016-05-17T13:44:00.001-05:002016-05-17T13:45:17.688-05:00From the trip to the oncologistThis was my regular check with him. I was on 9-month recall. The extended time periods are good - there are no apparent cancers, but bad in that you worry that there ARE cancers. You look forward to having the appointments lengthed in frequency, and you worry that something will pop-up without being found in time.

But this was a scheduled visit. He, of course, asked how I was. I said I thought I was great - until my mammogram last week. Now the mammogram office is across the hall from his office, but he had not gotten the report yet.

I explained that there were a lot of calcifications in the left breast. And so on.

He said I should not worry. Go for the check at six months as I had been instructed, and NOT WORRY.

Phew!!! (and now I am on a year recall)Grandma Khttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16273058.post-27547261043131123782016-05-14T23:57:00.000-05:002016-05-14T23:57:40.855-05:00Strange happeningsI know Texas and Texans have a reputation for things that make you go "huh." Some are deserved, and some not. But this case is one that has even this Texan wondering just what was going on.

There are some neighborhood information sites on Facebook. I learn a lot about happenings in the area from them, I was reading one today that absolutely shocked me.

There was a major accident on our main highway through our neighborhoods. It is already bad enough that there is major, major construction going on, and the traffic is almost always snarled. You never are quite sure exactly where the lanes will be from one day to the next. It is a total nightmare.

Last night the traffic was completely stopped in one of the worst places, It is pretty much a bottleneck there, but it was even worse than normal. It being a Friday evening was making it even worse. And people really had short fuses. They were ready to get home to start their weekend.

Someone asked one of these sites why the traffic was so bad. The answer was an eye opener.

It seems a young man was traveling along when there was debris on the road that he had to make a quick maneuver to avoid. That seems improbable right there. Usually, the traffic is crawling.

Well, in this maneuver, the pistol that HE WAS HOLDING (yes you read that correctly) discharged hitting him in the head. He completely lost control of his vehicle and went careening off the freeway. In doing so, he ran into a concrete embankment and was seriously injured from that as well as the bullet in his head.

The comments were about what a foolish thing this was, and the details weren't clear about what really happened. Was it road rage?

My concern is if he had that pistol in his hand, who was he planning to shoot.

I am aware that there are many other states that allow open carry of pistols. I am not a fan of this idea. This is one good reason for my feeling.

The idiot is still alive after being air-lifted to a hospital. IF he survives this, I really hope there are more answers forth coming. I really want to know why in the heck he had a gun IN HIS HAND driving down the roadway. (And he certainly deserves the huge bill for the helicopter!)Grandma Khttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16273058.post-34883832430230554592016-05-14T16:03:00.000-05:002016-05-14T16:03:58.457-05:00In the continuing winnings of granddaughterI guess one day I will stop bragging talking about my eldest granddaughter, but the girl flat amazes me almost daily.

I have crowed about her grades, her making all-region in water polo, all-state in water polo, going to the state competition in swimming with her relay team. Now she has made All-American in water polo!

She has done all this as a freshman in high school. Most of these kids don't make all these things until they are Juniors or Seniors in High School.

I found that her class has some outstanding athletes. Several of those freshmen girls lettered in their sports this year. So many don't until their senior years. What a group!

I still am looking forward to my grandson playing the tuba. I think he will do well. His perfect pitch will take him far. The youngest (in that family) granddaughter will join the dance team when she gets to HS. Then on to cheerleader. She is only in third grade at this point, so it is too early to tell. Whatever she does, she will continue to be the DIVA!

The other three will go far in music I believe. But since they range from 4 - 8, who really knows!

But I am a proud Grannie!Grandma Khttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16273058.post-17986061771547943762016-05-10T11:14:00.000-05:002016-05-10T11:14:30.369-05:00WellllllLife certainly has ups and downs. After so many ups, there was a devastating down yesterday.

I went to my yearly mammogram. And this is getting it in before my follow-up with the oncologist. I had been put on a 9-month recall, Things were looking so positive.

The technician was great. She took all the views, took them to the radiologist, and said they were ok and I could go. One of the irritating things I find about getting old is having to visit the bathroom - frequently! So I had stopped on my way out.

When I opened the door, there stood my technician. She said the radiologist had changed his mind, and wanted more views.

That. Is. Never. Good.

To cut to the chase, he called me back to show me the views. I have a LOT of calcification in the left breast (the right is mostly implant). One of those calcifications seems to be growing. It is about 3 mm. Very small, but....

So with my history, I get to go back in 6 months.

I see the oncologist for my regular appointment next week. I wonder what he is going to propose. At least at this point, if it does turn out to be something, the surgery could probably be just a lumpectomy.

The radiologist asked if I had been having pain. My yes! Since the surgeries, I have a lot of pain. I don't "do" surgeries well. All those incisions seem to develop scar tissues that hurt. So the pain isn't really something new.

Once again. We will see what Dr Poison says next week. Sigh.Grandma Khttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16273058.post-43795168404691752412016-05-04T13:30:00.000-05:002016-05-04T13:30:48.097-05:00Another wow!Music has been/is what I do. My son has followed me into music. It is/was a second job and brought in a little extra money. I as an organist at church(es), and he with his band (and as lead singer with another band). My daughter - no. It IS funny that in the days when there were piano lessons, she was the one who seemed to be more capable - to the point that I was told that I was wasting my money with Brian.

The other day, the tests for the beginning band were given to the fifth graders. You have to show some ability to get into the beginning band. Reagan will be heading off to sixth grade next year. So he took that ability test. He did very well. He tested well on several instruments and has chosen the tuba.

Needless to say, I am thrilled.

Now the downside. Both parents are sports minded. They have never subjected their kids to any musical experience, although I DID try with Katie. And she was doing quite well. She has a good ear - just didn't want to learn the notes. BUT they kept her so busy with basketball, soccer, and more that it killed our piano time.

The real thing I have here is the Facebook post by SIL. It basically was "darn, my kid is in the band - how do I handle this horrible turn of events." When congratulated went on with "he is projected to be 6'6", 280, and is one of the best football players around. (note here - G has seen him play. He IS big and can intimidate. But when someone gets close to him - he just falls down).

So why has this unsettled me? His dad was nothing but sports. Even if one of the kids got hurt playing, he would tell them to get back out there. I had no respect for that man, and this is one reason. Steve said he would never be like that. Well - he surely is.

I am thrilled that Reagan will be exposed to another facet of learning. I sincerely believe deep down Reagan isn't all that into sports. He is a gentle giant. AND he hates to run. I believe he does the baseball thing because dad was supposedly so good at it, and played as an adult in some of the local leagues. He DOES like football, but again I think he sees it as a way of getting Dad's approval - and time alone with Dad.

I am so disappointed with Steve's attitude. Many people have blown him out of the water responding to that post, so I am not really alone. But I am so proud of Reagan. I think he will do so well, but not with his dad's attitude like this.Grandma Khttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16273058.post-88835172625151702812016-05-01T17:51:00.001-05:002016-05-01T17:51:23.814-05:00Busy weekendFriday we set off to Texas A&M University. The state water polo finals were being held. (Are you seeing a trend here) There was some worry about the weather - not because of the swimming - we are such sissies we have indoor natatoriums. There was another major storm heading this way, and we were concerned about travel in flooding conditions.

We missed the first game since we left the Houston area AFTER the game was over. The next game was at four. That was great timing because we couldn't check into the hotel until 3. They lost. 12-6! This was after their first game of a win 17-2.

That put them out of the running for first, second, third or fourth. They ended up tied for fifth. That tie game was so very. It was played Saturday, and was so exciting! It was a 6-6 score.

We didn't stay for the awards ceremony. The trip home is only 1 1/2 hours, but we both were tired. But during that ceremony, Katie made the State All Star First team! That is amazing for a freshman.
It was a great weekend all in all!

I really do love seeing my grandchildren do their activities. I am happy they are involved in activities. But there are some things I really do not like to participate in for/with them.

One is baseball games. I know, I am strange. The American sport! And I can't stand baseball. I would rather watch paint dry. So poor Reagan - I have never made one of his games. I wanted to go to his football games last year, but it never worked out. That was probably good because the fields where he played weren't completed. There were no bleachers - no anything.

The other thing I really do not enjoy is the dance recital. Granddaughter #3 had her recital on Saturday. I had forgotten (convenient memory, I guess so) until I got a text. Bless her heart, my daughter in law even had sent out invitations, but with our iffy mail service, mine didn't arrive.

I knew I had to go. Those last three are sort of like the younger kids in a large family - they don't get as much attention. They are just getting into activities, so I don't feel so badly, but I am making a real effort to attend as much as possible. Their activities are a little harder too because they live further away (12 miles).

I attended GD #1 and GD #2's dance recitals. The first was OK - but long, and at night. The second was last spring, a long way away, and in a region that had just experienced its first flooding issue. It was the cute littles interspersed with some really good dancers, but also some of the older ones who were as graceful as elephants flopping around the stage. I. Was. Not. Impressed. I hated it, in fact, and couldn't wait to get out - over three hours later.

But this one was cute. It was all littles. It is like watching a T-ball game. You never know what they are going to do. I am sure some of the parents were wondering just why in the heck they spend all those dollars on the costumes when their daughter wouldn't even stay on stage, but they were absolutely precious.

One little girl was the "star" even though she never danced a step during the recital. Her routine came up. The curtains opened and the music began and she ran off-stage. Immediately. The second routine, she didn't even come out.

I had not planned to stay through the awards, but I did. The ENTIRE time they were giving the girls (and one boy) their medals, certificates, and shirts, this little girl was spinning, twirling, and dancing throwing kisses to the audience. Hysterical!

All in all, it was totally enjoyable. Granddaughter was really good. She seems to have a natural talent for dance. Of course, now she wants to do gymnastics - forget dancing!!!

I am so thankful for all the social media AND the fact that I do have the internet in the sticks.

While I constantly read the posts on the local Next Door site, I followed the progression of the flood waters in our little village outside the city limits of Houston. One of my friends chronicled the rising waters as he witnessed him home flooding - for the FOURTH time.

I followed the link to the meter on the bayou that runs three blocks from our house (and two blocks from our rental house that had flooded before). That meter keeps a record of the depth of the bayou as well as the amount of rain that falls. Mikes house began taking on water about 1 a.m. and the rain continued to fall. To cut to the chase - there were 11+ inches in that part of the storm.

Between the SSB and home, there was also what was to be 15 inches total of rain falling Water was covering highways. We were supposed to come home on that Monday. I had my eye injection appointment and G also has a doctor's appointment.

As I was learning more about the Village's flooding, I knew we couldn't get to our house. While we haven't flooded before (hope I am not jinxing here), the streets around us become impassable. Then we were hearing about the highways coming in. So our return was set for Tuesday

As I drive around the neighborhood, it makes my heart hurt to see all the drywall, carpet, and furniture stacked at the curb waiting for the insurance adjusters to come by to chronicle it. For the first time, we had looting. Not coming into the houses as far as I know, but taking all the things that had been flood damaged that needed to be out there for the adjusters.

I was so incredibly proud of our Police Department. They immediately closed the flooded streets to through traffic. It was a dangerous situation to begin with. The streets were basically strangled with cars that were damaged, vehicles from those helping to demolish damages, and the companies who were in to begin the drying out process. There was one lane - possibly + to get through Then they manned checkpoints to determine where people were going (and did they belong). Good job guys!!

The school traffic should be interesting tomorrow should be something else. We have a high school and an elementary. One of the flooded streets is a main street for the traffic. Will they be detoured to our street?? I guess we will see,Grandma Khttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16273058.post-60886703774746494462016-04-10T15:06:00.000-05:002016-04-10T15:06:32.838-05:00Me again Ifinally)I don't know where the time goes, but it certainly flies by. Seems like one day becomes the next before I know it. Couple that with having a Ph.D. in procrastination ... Well - you know what happens.

I had a profound thought this morning while sitting in church. I should have been listening more attentively to the sermon I suppose, but I was thinking of what a relative said about our AIM (Assistant in Ministry) who gave a sermon on Easter. We kindly let our seats go to the C and E members (you know - they attend on Christmas and Easter), and stayed home. So we missed that sermon. A family member made a statement about the sermon.

The statement was brought to mind this morning because she was preaching again this morning. The statement all centered around one small word. That word is "but."

Long ago I heard a statement that when that word is used in a sentence the real meaning of the sentence follows that word. This person said "I love ______, BUT ( and there it is!) she read the sermon, and I was bored by that.

Innocent enough, right. Nope - not by a long shot. This person doesn't love _____ because this person was rebuffed by _____ because this person didn't want to follow the rules to join the church. This person feels above rules a lot of the time.

It did get me to thinking though. Our AIM delivers very thought provocating sermons. She hasn't been to formal seminary. She has had training, but certainly not in sermon writing and presentation. Even so, she does a great job. I know I would have to depend heavily on "reading." Our beloved previous pastor (whom this relative "loved and respected") read his sermons to a certain degree.

Excuse me for a second - gotta put the soap box away.

I finally downloaded the pictures of the tool of terror that used to reside in my catch all utensil drawer. BTW - the finger is still a bit tender. Thought I would share. Actually there are two (with a third somewhere - and that scares me a lot). So here are the two. One a bit longer than the other. Nice little curved, SHARP pieces of metal for turning steaks and chops - and slicing tender fingers

See those curled pieces with the sharp point!!! Sorry about the cutting board that was branded with a hot iron skillet lid!

A closer look of the instruments of doom. The bottom isn't focused well because it sticks up so far.

Grandma Khttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16273058.post-48118046933050584592016-03-20T11:51:00.000-05:002016-03-20T11:51:05.718-05:00Lesson learned - the hard wayI have complained about having satellite internet here at the SSB since I first had it installed. It is slow as molasses in January. I upgraded a few months ago. It was a higher speed and more gigs per month. And they were per month rather than per day. That was appealing to me because we aren't here for a month solid - just a week.

The "new and improved" is a bit better. It does go faster. Google loads well and all. So where am I going with this pitiful story? Back in the day, I was still teaching. That was when the infamous OJ Simpson trial was going on. I had a small black and white television in my storage room at school. I would usually eat in my classroom at lunch (the whole, whopping 23 minutes of it). You get in far less trouble if you stay out of the teachers lounge, and I didn't care to join the kiddos in the cafeteria! But I digress. I would haul the set out to watch the trial at lunch. I soon had quite a large gathering joining me for "lunch with the trial."

With the series that is on ( The People vs OJ), I have been interested in it. It is well acted and closely follows the events. I record it at home. I wanted to watch it here, so I went to the On Demand section of Direct Tv and began my download of the show. I never thought of where the show would come from.

That download ate up my remaining internet time. When we leave now, I unplug the router. I turn off the satellite box. When I began using the computer, I noticed that I had something like 80% of my remaining gigs. There must have been downloading going on. The download I chose got rid of the rest of it - overnight! So now I am "Smart Browsing" on my Bonus bytes -whatever that means. I DO know it means I am back to a snail's pace trying to navigate the internet!!!

I don't think OJ is/was worth it!Grandma Khttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16273058.post-39425019111479300282016-03-17T11:48:00.000-05:002016-03-17T11:48:00.537-05:00This and thatHere we are again at the SSB. After the last trip, I see the importance of being here frequently, even though I would much rather be at home. I just think of how badly the house would smell if that refrigerator had gone out completely. Of course, that makes me think of what will happen when we are no longer able to make the trip. Our children manage one trip a year. This place that we have worked so hard on (and poured so much money into) is going to flat fall apart. Most of what we have done were to make them happy. Much bigger house than we first thought of and all. Oh well. Can't do anything about it.

Katie and Krissi spent last weekend in California for the Olympic Development Program championship games. Katie didn't go on, but she was actually happy about not making the team. The next camp will be when the state championship games will be going on. She is more excited about that experience. She was approached by many colleges while there, however. So there was good that came from the time she was there. I guess she will go back to Junior Olympics this July.

I was going to add a picture of the "instruments of terror" also known as the meat turner that turned my finger into a blood fountain. I took pictures with the intent of posting them when I posted here. My mind wasn't into packing however. Shadow somehow got the idea he was going to be put in the carrier for the trip and disappeared. I was more worried about him and didn't think of the camera - so the pictures will have to wait

The man who is supposed to spray to kill off the prickly pear cactus hasn't done it yet. The winds have been too strong. He said perhaps it would happen today or tomorrow. I doubt it. The weather is turning off to be bad again. I think there are too many clouds. And if he sprays the herbicide today, I don't think it will do the job it is supposed to do.

Have a great St Patrick's day. It's my brother-in-law's birthday. His name is (wait for it)

PATRICK!!!

Last Saturday night, I was looking in my utensil "junk drawer." These are the little odds and ends that don't belong to any specific grouping of things. I thought I knew what was in there, but I had a BIG surprise.

I was looking for the pizza cutter that should have been on the top and in front. It wasn't. As I was moving things, I had a problem. So I reached far into the back of the drawer to pull things to the front.

What I didn't know was G (since he does the dishes) had put a meat turner in that drawer. It doesn't belong there - at all. It is a long thing that has a curled end resembling a pig's tail and is VERY sharp.

As I drug my hand forward, my ring finger hit that sharp tip, and it pierced the pad from the tip to the joint. It bled like "a stuck pig!"

It took forever to get the bleeding to stop. I bandaged it as well as I could. The bleeding finally stopped sometime in the night.

I have been afraid to remove the bandage until yesterday. It seems to be OK. But it is still sore. SO typing has not been an easy thing to do.

But I am back. And I have thoroughly checked that drawer and secured all sharps. I never got an acknowledgement that he messed up however.Grandma Khttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16273058.post-72783661699061677852016-03-04T10:07:00.002-06:002016-03-04T10:07:36.787-06:00Reality hitThe other night, I was watching the late news when a story came on about an "elderly lady leading police on a 100-mile chase."

The story was amusing. I was thinking of a fragile little old lady - perhaps in her late 80's leading police about the highways. I could just see her peeking over the steering wheel - the image I have of an elderly woman. My mind always sees a short, fragile woman.

Then they gave her age. She was 74. That's not elderly! I am 70 - nearly that old, and I am not elderly. That shook me to my core.

Being an only child, I spend a lot of my childhood around adults. I was always the young one. Many of my friends were older than I. I was the young one. My mind holds me in that place - the youngest around.

As I have aged, I still feel that way. In my mind, I am the youngest in a group. My mind LIES!

Grandma Khttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16273058.post-24068708093190694352016-02-29T12:04:00.001-06:002016-02-29T12:04:38.274-06:00What I did this weekend (alert heavy bragging here!)This was quite a weekend! Here in Houston, the "social event" of the year is kicking off. The huge Livestock Show and Rodeo has been kicked off.

It began last week with the trail rides. There were some unfortunate things that happened on those rides. Here is a couple that I know of - a horse on a ride that originates around here wasn't properly conditioned and died, and a woman on her horse was run over by a runaway wagon. She broke her jaw and shoulder. The weather cooperated with the trail rides (for the most part). Usually is it cold and rainy. This year they only had a day and a half of rain and high winds.

Between the end of the rides and the parade, was the Bar-be-que cookoff that lasts from Thursday to Saturday. My son and his band have played this event for ten years. We don't usually go because it is a mad house. Parking is difficult, and if you just do the general admission, it isn't much fun and is expensive. It is $5 to get in, and then if you want food, you pay for that. To be fun, you need to be associated with a cookoff tent. Those who are competing for the best food.

They have sponsors who cover the huge costs to participate. It also is a very expensive outing for their cooking team. All the monies go to the education fund. But in those tents, the food and alcohol flow freely. And all of these tents have bands.

We got home on Thursday, and when talking to my daughter-in-law, she mentioned me (us, but knowing G wouldn't) to go with them. Well, I did! It was quite an experience. We ate at a different tent because Brian knows the cookers so well. We returned to his tent for him to entertain. And what a great job he did. I haven't been able to see his band in a long time. They have really jelled into a great band.

While I was sitting there, I noticed this guy (sooooo drunk) hitting on DIL's friend/boss. DIL saved her only for this idiot to move to her. Toward the end of the night, he decided to move on to me! I was stone cold sober, so I got highly amused. His lame pick-up line was:"so who are you with here?" I told him "my son - the singer." When he told me his age (48), he asked how old I was. I thought how this would send him on his happy way, and responded 70. NO! He stayed. His chair was trapping my shoe, so I couldn't leave. Finally, his wife came up to get her inappropriate husband to leave, but decided to hit on the sound man's husband (yes, gay). That really made me laugh!

Brian is the singer, with him in this picture are just two of the band members.

After the show, we went back to the other tent. Mainly because I really did need a cart to get back to the shuttle buses to the parking lot. It was a good mile hike, and my back/knees had failed! When we got there, my son pointed out a black little person. He apparently was a well-known rapper back in the 80's. Guess who ended up with this little man and his friend giving me all the attention. I became the magnificent matron queen. This lasted about thirty minutes.

I am glad this wasn't the picture with me, but this is my son, his friend and the "little rapper!" My son is fortunately kneeling - he's 6'8". The rapper is standing!'

This was quite an evening. But I really did enjoy it because my son was SO good! And we laughed a lot about it at family dinner last night. Katie was amazed  appalled by the evening.

Saturday I was going to attend two of her high school water polo games. After getting in at 1:30 that morning, I skipped the 9:00 game. I knew she would understand. I think the early game was probably was more exciting. The competition was a little better, but our girls are magnificent. The team I watched them play has always been very strong, but our girls beat them 12-2. Katie was her strong self. How I have missed water polo. It was such fun.

And Katie is her usual go getting self! She is going to take that ball away. But if you notice, she is probably going to take a smack to the chin!

Grandma Khttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16273058.post-75684853683592572502016-02-24T11:28:00.000-06:002016-02-24T11:28:27.979-06:00Phew!The new refrigerator was delivered without a hitch of any merit. The driver found us. That in itself is something rare. Most of them call us because they are lost. I have told you we are in the sticks at the end of the world!!!

I was thinking that there wouldn't be any problem at all getting the old one out and the new one in. When I got mine at home several years ago, the doors had to be removed, and even then I still have gouges in my door frames from pushing it in. My brother-in-law had a problem getting their new one in a couple of years ago up here. I thought it was because it had to come through a "regular" door, and we have a sliding glass door to come in.

Well - I was wrong. The door still is only about 30 inches. The refrigerators these days begin at a 32+inch width and 34-inch depth. So with both units, the doors had to be removed.

I wasn't sure I would really like the new one. In the store, it was OK. It fit the size requirement. There is no way in the world I could have gone with one of the French door models. Not only from price but size as well. I have a cabinet on the side, above, and a wall next to the space allowed for it.

I thought I wouldn't have as much space inside. When I began putting things back (and that was so wonderful - everything I needed in the refrigerator rather than in a fourth of the freezer where it was kept at 34 degrees or in an ice chest or an outside refrigerator), I discovered it has a lot of space. I think it will even be spacious enough when the kids come and bring all their perishables.

So today is laundry and cleaning (ugh). We head back home tomorrow where it will probably be laundry and cleaning again!Grandma Khttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16273058.post-33412587777061370262016-02-20T12:16:00.001-06:002016-02-20T12:16:14.817-06:00Usually at least one surpriseI guess I need to stop grousing about coming to the SSB once a month. This month the surprise awaiting us was not a good one! Had we not come when we did, it would have been a horrible surprise, though.

Our 13-year-old refrigerator was/is going out. When we went to get ice from the ice maker, there was almost none. The ice maker is always turned off when we leave because it malfunctioned once while (THANKFULLY) we were here. We had an ice sheet covering the front of the refrigerator (it is a side-by-side). And fortunately, our hunter who owns his own appliance repair company was here! So no harm, no foul.

I originally thought that perhaps the ice maker was broken. But then I remembered the ordeal my son and DIL went through. It was the same thing. Their ice maker wouldn't work. Then the freezer wouldn't freeze things. Well, guess whose freezer wouldn't freeze either.

We took most everything out of the refrigerator that we wouldn't need immediately - like salad dressings and the like. We have access to three other refrigerators on the property. We have one for overflow during the hunting season in the "barn/garage." The hunters have one in the cabin and one on the porch. So we are in good shape for cold space, but not convenient.

Yesterday we had to go into Fredericksburg for groceries anyway, so it included a nice "cheap" trip to the only place in town to get a replacement. The problem is we can't get it until Tuesday. And at a delivery charge of $250! But you just do it when you are at the end of the earth and you want a refrigerator!

I am just thankful that we got here at the crucial time. I would hate to come home to a refrigerator full of rotten items. Eech! Not the way I want to arrive here.Grandma Khttp://email@example.com

Well, it's halfway through 2016, and not much has changed since the beginning of the year. Despite the terrorism acts in Orlando, FL and Turkey, and the Brexit referendum, little has happened to affect the travel industry. Overall, things might have slowed a bit, but a majority of the fundamentals are holding steady, including occupancy, ADR and RevPAR. I've been asked why this cycle has lasted longer than those preceding it. As far as I am concerned, it's due to a single phrase: Never Again.

Hi all,
My husband and I are expecting our first child late this summer and want to take a "babymoon" to celebrate. We are thinking Florida would be easiest because we live near Atlanta and would prefer not to fly due to the expense of plane tickets + rental car, etc. I am looking for suggestions for resort-style lodging that is budget-friendly (around 200 nightly or less would be best). My only absolute requirement is that I would like a place with a nice pool since most ocean activities I would usually do will be unavailable to me. I also would prefer not to rent a condo because I want the ease of a hotel environment (people clean it, we don't have to cook or wash towels, etc.). And places that have amenities like onsite restaurants are a plus. I figure we will have years to rent big condos and make family meals once the baby is here, so for this vacation I want something where we don't have to do anything but relax and enjoy our free time, drink in hand. We are open to any area of Florida. The bluer the water the better, and we are willing to drive south to get it as long in the price is right. In the past we have gone to SGI and the water was very blue and clear on some visits, but very murky during others. I'd like to find a place that is more of a sure bet for blue water. As a child we used to visit West Palm which seems has very nice water, but I haven't found any lodging in our price range there. We would even consider the keys if we could find a good enough deal to justify the drive time for us, and if a hospital is near by (forgive my ignorance of the keys as I have not been there, but an unfamiliar drive to a hospital seems like a nightmare if I had to go in for anything unexpected). Having a sandy beach is not necessary since I will probably spend more time at the pool anyway. We also can only travel between mid-May and the end of June, due to the timing of our jobs/the arrival date of the child, so we need a place that will be quite warm by that time. In the past my husband and I have trended toward the cheapest possible bed and breakfast/hostel type travelling and/or renting a condo and smashing as many friends as possible into it, so this foray into resort scouting is really new to us! Any help is appreciated.

Sexualization Blues in the New Britain—and What About the USA? (self.culturalstudies)
submitted 3 years ago by lesterleith
Writing in the Telegraph, columnist Allison Pearson treads into the issue of contemporary British culture's increasing sexualization of young females and the damage she sees it is doing to the nation's girls:
"A friend's daughter recently started at a highly regarded boarding school. When her mother asked how she was enjoying the mixed-sex environment, the girl said quietly: 'You have to give the boys oral sex or they get cross.' Reeling with shock, the mum protested that her darling daughter did not have to do anything of the sort. 'Oh yes you do,' replied the girl. 'And you have to shave down there or the boys don't like it.'"
I don't imagine that the phenomena Pearson documents are unique to our time (only the technology has changed, perhaps), but it's simply undeniable that depictions of sex, talk about sex, and claims that the more sex, the better, are pervasive in our culture today. That such a change should have no consequences at all seems exceedingly unlikely.
[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points 3 years ago (0 children)
I think it's important to note that it's not simply the presence of depictions or descriptions of sex and sexuality that lead to this sort of behavior or any sort of unhealthy attitudes about sex; historically, implicit and explicit representations and discussions of sex are fairly common, across many cultures (Greek, Indian, and Japanese art and literature come to mind immediately. Plenty of positive artistic representations of sexuality can be found with a little research, as well as frank, accessible, and authoritative works discussing the role, nature, and importance of sexual behavior). I think many of the symptoms of cultural sexual dysfunction can be ascribed to the MANNER in which sex is treated in many contemporary societies: as commodity, as product, as animal or base (and therefore deficient). I can really only speak from experience in terms of American attitudes toward sex, but they are intimately tied to the constant confrontation of Christian sexual mores (emphasizing chastity, monogamy, virginity, and sex as a purely reproductive activity, and a very restrictive and ashamed attitude towards discussion of sex, while devaluing anything physical, pleasurable, exploratory) and modern commercial advertising, which is based around a recognition of and exploitation of our natural, instinctual drives (in short, the idea that sex sells), and the cultural cognitive dissonance that such a confrontation produces.
In other words, I feel as though the sexual content on its own isn't necessarily objectionable or unhealthy, it's the context and lack of positive representation or discussion of sex and sexuality that breed these sorts of dysfunctional and unhealthy environments and situations.

Not every move works out, but the one constant with the New England Patriots is that they approach each offseason with a game plan, targeting their most pressing needs, and, more often than not, find a way to execute.
The Patriots became so reliant on their tight ends
last year, which wasn't necessarily a bad thing since Rob Gronkowski
broke records, that their wideouts failed to strike any fear in
opposing defenses. The quest to find a No. 1 wide receiver capable of
causing stress on opposing defenses was a top priority this winter, and
the Patriots made sure to address that need immediately.
New England acquired Donte Stallworth, Jabar Gaffney and Brandon Lloyd to add depth to a position lacking capable
bodies. Stallworth was a solid No. 3 during the team's perfect season
in 2007, while Gaffney played a role as one of Tom Brady's most
reliable targets during his brief tenure with the Patriots.
Lloyd, a former Denver Bronco, has the potential
to develop into a No. 1 threat. With Deion Branch and Wes Welker back
in the fold, this is suddenly a much more respectable group at wide
receiver, which could take some pressure off the tight ends.
In addition to adding new bodies to the fold, the
Patriots also took care of business on the home front, re-signing
center Dan Koppen, offensive lineman Dan Connolly, special teams ace
Matthew Slater and backup quarterback Brian Hoyer. They also franchised
Welker before signing him to a multi-year extension and re-upped with
Gronkowski, locking up two of the team's most important offensive
weapons. In a surprise move, the team also acquired former Giants tight
end Jake Ballard, who won't be able to play until next year at the
The NFL draft also added new talent as the
Patriots retooled up front, selecting Syracuse defensive end Chandler Jones and Alabama linebacker Dont'a Hightower, moves they hope will
solidify a sagging pass rush over the past two years.
The bottom line is the Patriots went out and
addressed their needs, both in the draft and through free agency, and
made sure to take care of the players who are key contributors. The
team looks loaded on paper, but only time will tell how quickly this
group meshes together in training camp.

Unknown festival report
We took a step into the unknown this summer with Four Tet, Jessie Ware, James Holden and Django Django, and we don't regret a thing.
South London's finest re-imagines her rise to fame as a childhood fantasy in new video.
Published: 13/12/12
Jessie Ware's ascension to national and even international stardom this year is being rounded off with news of her first 2013 single Sweet Talk (a song we've expressed our love for before). The video for the gauzy single features mini versions of the singer and the song's co-producer Julio Bashmore at work in the studio and giving a living room performance – which is apt because her path felt so individual and organic – alongside the real Ware cast as a mother, which is doubly apt for an artist who has helped to re-kindle a grown 'n' sexy style in current pop.
We took a step into the unknown this summer with Four Tet, Jessie Ware, James Holden and Django Django, and we don't regret a thing.

Campus Housing:
I was a commuter but its great from what i've seen
Campus Housing:
The dorms are roomy and are great. People are always willing to hang out and have a good time. All of the events are near the dorms so it isn't a far journey to get from one place to the other.
Campus Housing:
Living on campus allows you to be close to all the social events and classes. It also allows you to stay connected with the student body and staff.
Campus Housing:
The feeling of actually being out of your parents house and living on your own or with a roommate is great! At Southeastern there are plenty of options when it comes to selecting dorms. If you meet the qualifications some people have the privilege of staying in honor dorms such as Louisana Hall. Although all dorms on campus are affordable per say, there is a particular dorm I wouldn't select as a first choice when staying on campus and that is the Zachary Taylor Hall. This dorm hasn't been renuvated since the 60's and students who stay here have to use the public bathrooms which or located on each floor. Although this dorm has some negatives it if the oldest dorm and most affordable.
Campus Housing:
If you love to living with people or love the multiple roommates atmosphere then this is right for you.

Patriots sign CB Aqib Talib to one-year deal
The Patriots on Saturday signed cornerback Aqib Talib on a one-year contract worth roughly $5 million, confirmed by CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora.
The Patriots traded for cornerback Aqib Talib midway through the 2012 season, and he immediately upgraded a suspect secondary. But because of off-field issues -- Talib arrived in New England in the midst of a four-game suspension for violating the league's substance-abuse policy, and he previously has had several run-ins with police -- the Pats weren't willing to make a long-term investment.
So Talib hit free agency this week. But with a crowded and slow-developing cornerback market, there didn't appear to be much interest. On Saturday, Talib signed a one-year deal worth roughly $5 million to return to New England, CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora reported.
Talib was being pursued by three other teams, according to La Canfora, but preferred to stay in New England, where he had success on the field and stayed out of trouble off it. The Patriots offered a multi-year deal, but Talib is now in position to thrive this season and then up his market value for 2014, when the corner market should not be so flooded.
Deals for corners have been hard to come by. Sean Smith, Cary Williams and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie essentially agreeed to variations of what could be one-year contracts, and several corners still out there, Nnamdi Asomugha and Antione Winfield among them.
Barring the unforeseen, Talib will be penciled in as the starter opposite Alfonzo Dennard. Kyle Arrington, who was just re-signed to a four-year contract, will likely remain in the slot, with Devin McCourty, Tavon Wilson and Adrian Wilson manning the safety positions.
