You may have ADHD, or you may be married to someone with ADHD and wondering whether it may be affecting your relationship. This site can help you learn much more BUT PLEASE READ THIS before you explore for the first time! Let me introduce you to what's here.
Top Experts Plus Others Just Like You
You can find the following types of information here:
- What ADHD in marriages is all about from the experts – essays by (mostly) Melissa Orlov, Dr. Ned Hallowell and a handful of other experts
- What ADHD in relationships is all about from others who are living it – people both with and without ADHD write about their experiences and emotions in depth
- Resources for more information (this section is new, and growing)
- Events such as workshops, support groups, speeches and television appearances for more information or asking your own questions (these will be posted on the home page when available)
- Answers to your own questions – sometimes by the experts, sometimes by others who are traveling the same road you are on
This Site is About Learning from Each Other, Supporting Each Other, and Changing Lives…
There is no other resource like this one, and we ask posters to be thoughtful in their approach to expressing their feelings. Start in the "Melissa's favorite posts" area of the blog for the best introduction to important ideas about how ADHD symptoms impact relationships (right column.)
… But Those New to the Site Sometimes Vent
Over time readers learn more and more here, ask questions, support each other, and make progress in their relationship. BUT it is not uncommon that people new to the site post comments that reflect their current bitterness and anger. We ask all participants to be thoughtful in how they express themselves, and try to balance freedom of expression and keeping the conversation civil. It's important that each spouse hear both sides of the story and there may be no other place on the web where this happens as openly as it does here. But be forewarned, sometimes these comments hurt. If you find a comment is making you mad we suggest you move to something else or, perhaps, respond (politely) in a way that broadens the conversation.
Please observe our posting rules:
- Write about your personal experiences - no gross generalizations, please!
- No personal attacks
- Helpful hints encouraged
- Be civil and respectful, even when writing about difficult topics
- No email or phone contact information. Most links will be removed.
- REMEMBER - your partner may read what you post - please choose your words carefully!
We reserve the right to remove posts that we believe are too offensive, and will also remove any post that attacks another poster. Also, posting on this site gives us permission to use your words anonymously in blog posts or books.

Find the Joy You've Lost
Once you know the specifics about how ADHD impacts your marriage YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR FUTURE. Melissa's own story - from being in a completely dysfunctional marriage to having a marriage that is stronger and happier than she could have imagined - is only one example. She's seen this happen over and over again.
Start in "Melissa's Favorite Posts", and with her award-winning books, The ADHD Effect on Marriage and The Couple's Guide to Thriving with ADHD.

A pleasant surprise
I spent two nights this week at the Latham and loved it. The room and linens were beautiful. I was on the 9th floor facing the street. Because the hotel is back from the road, there were no noise problems. I would recommend the room and the hotel to all. The staff was gracious. The door men were great. And the proximity of great, diverse, and inexpensive food in Georgetown was an extra bonus. I would come back with out hesitation.
Avoid this hotel
Possibly the worst hotel experience I've ever had. There were a line of people complaining the weekend I was there - all for good reason. Most of the rooms had broken down air conditioners (in the DC heat, this is not a good thing). Management did VERY little to accomodate problems. We changed rooms 4 times - one had no a/c; one was a "carriage room" - a windowless basement room that was no nicer than a Motel 6; one was a handicap room (we were moved into this one at 3 AM) with a big tiled room for a bathroom and no shower curtain; we finally settled on an "executive suite" (a standard motel room, cheap linens, extremely small) after almost checking out and leaving DC early. No room had all the advertised amenities and all had incredibly old and noisy a/c units. Management did little to compensate anyone or even accomodate repair requests (one woman waited 24 hours for them to fix her clogged toilet - it was clogged when she checked in!). Citronelle is wonderful, but this hotel, or motel rather, is the pits.
Uncomfortable and Unsecure
I stayed at the Latham in late April while on business. My first room was tiny, shabby, noisy and faced a brick wall from 6 ft away. I asked to be moved and was put in a room that had just been refurbished, in order to reach this room you had to leave the hotel and pass the outdoor pool ( which was closed and not lit ) and enter through a separate entrance. The room was nicely done but TINY and with the most uncomfortable rock hard pillows I have ever encountered. The Latham offers free high speed internet which had not been hooked up in my room. After several calls they sent a maint. man who was confused by the fact that it did not work but sure he could fix it ( He did NOT). Another call and the manager appeared with this man, with a very curt " what is the problem". I went to my meeting, returned later and found my door closed but ajar, upon entering I saw the maint. man crawling around on the floor " he quickly said he was " trying to fix the cable for the room above me" and left, CREEPY. Bottom line, rude management, small uncomfortable room and poor service, I was made to feel as though I was annoying them by paying to stay in one of THEIR rooms. Great location but you can stay at a NICE hotel for less money and take a taxi to Georgetown..........
Excellent with a good deal
This is an excellent hotel..for the price. If you get a great deal on hotwire, priceline, etc., do not be afraid at all of the negative reviews. This is not the Ritz but it's a very nice place to stay. It has the best location in all of Washington DC and is very attractive. Very European. You'll have an excellent stay here.
Quaint hotel, price was right
We booked this hotel through hotwire. We got an AMAZING rate, but the room we had was quite small. Which, worked out just fine because we were on the tail end of a week long east coast trip, and after all the sightseeing every day, just zonked out. The bathrooms, however, were almost "paris-sized" SO TINY. Both of us could not be in the bathroom at the same time. Service was great, especially parking services. We were in and out quite a bit, and the staff never huffed once when we asked for our rental car- a bulky ford expedition. All in all, this hotel was very nice for the price, especially being in georgetown.
ALSO- one of the only places with a pool, which was nice for the balmy june afternoons we spent walking around sweating. :)
Elegant small hotel
My mother and I recently spent a weekend in Georgetown, and stayed at the Latham Hotel. Prior to arriving, I called to confirm 2 beds in the room and was told that the reservation had been changed to 1 bed. After some discussion, the gentleman corrected the mistake. I later called regarding transportation from the airport and train stations, and had a difficult time making my request understood. So my initial impression wasn't great. That all changed upon our arrival! Our executive room was lovely (wonderful Frette linens, beautiful decor), although small. We had a room facing the front, so we heard car/street noises at night. I recommend requesting a room in the back. The front desk staff and doormen were outstanding! They booked us dinner reservations, suggested places for dessert/coffee, quickly found taxis, remembered our names, gave excellent directions, and were always friendly. If I wanted to base a trip in Georgetown, this hotel would be my selection!
Mediocre at best
My wife and I recently stayed at the Latham for a weekend in DC. The location of the property is grand, right in the heart of Georgetown on M street. The staff were very friendly and attentive. However, for what we paid, the quality of the upkeep of the property was not up to par.
There were several items in the room (we had a 2 level Carriage Suite) that were in need of attention: the heat pump unit was VERY loud (woke me many times during the night), light bulbs burned out at top of stairs, carpet was worn, screws for some light switches were loose. In general, we had a very nice stay because of the location and the staff.
While the room itself was large, the quality of the upkeep left much to be desired.
Not Charming, but Centrally Located
This was our home base for a girls weekend in DC for Fourth of July 2003. The Pluses: we paid $119/night (on Expedia); the brick exterior and circular driveway make for a pleasant entranceway; the concierge- with a little prodding- was helpful; the central-Georgetown location is fantastic; the metro is a 10-15 minute walk away; the shower area was separated from the sink area by a door; the enviroment is generally tidy and clean; the ground-floor room was surprisingly spacious and we had no problems with the cable TV. The Minuses: The room was dimly lit and uninviting; no full length mirror; the furnishings were less than charming. In sum, it's a pleasant enough hotel to use as a place to sleep, but you won't be tempted to spend any extra time there. We brunched in Georgetown at both the Ritz and the Four Seasons. The Ritz had a lovely masculine/modern interior, but the food was subpar. The Four Seasons was the tackiest looking Seasons I've ever seen (think a 70s take on classy) and the food was nothing special.
Georgetown at its best
Great small hotel in the middle of Georgetown. The hotel is in an area with many fine restaurants and is just steps from the old barge canal. The near by the old district streets and buildings are worth a walk thru. Plus there is a fine pastry/coffee shop at the hotel entry.
Sweet Stay
After a long stretch of stress, going for a little trip was just what my friend & I needed.
Upon arriving to the Latham, we were greeted pleasantly, check-in was quick & efficient. Our room was adoreably decorated, however, VERY tiny. It had enough room for two queen beds, an armoire & nightstand, with little room to spare for moving about. However, the amostphere was quiet, quaint, very clean & with attentive staff. Nice place to go if you are not particular about luxury. Wonderfully in the midst of historic Georgetown. Great rates too. Would definitely recommend!!

London's burger revolution
Think burgers, and you think fast food. A succulent chunk of beef sandwiched between warm buns, topped with melting cheese, onions and tomato ketchup. It's quick, cheap and fulfilling—everything a burger is traditionally known to be.
Now imagine associating a burger with a posh, sit-down meal. Hard to grasp? Not for Londoners, who are increasingly warming up to the idea of gourmet burgers consumed not as a quick bite or an in-between snack but as a complete meal.
You can't blame them though, for a number of burger restaurants and chains have cropped up in London, each doing better than its competitor. The two leading burger restaurants in London—and we're not talking fast food—are Byron (www.byronhamburgers.com) and Gourmet Burger Kitchen (www.gbk.co.uk), with branches spread across the city, going packed on weekdays and weekends alike. Byron is about to open its 26th restaurant in London, and has an estimated turnover of £8m (Rs69.9 crore), while Gourmet Burger Kitchen—fondly known as GBK—is almost as ubiquitous as a McDonald's here.
What sets these chains apart from a regular burger joint is primarily the superior quality of their products, the choice of interesting sides on offer and of course, a fine-dining kind of experience. Believe it or not, burgers have become high-end too, and London's lapping up the trend along with the mayo and mustard!
While these posh burgers come at a price (starting from £7, or Rs610, and going up to even £13 or Rs1,135), they are well worth the indulgence. Apart from the scrumptious burger itself, there are a lot more side-options than just fries. Golden-fried onion rings, freshly baked skin-on-chips, grilled haloumi…you get the drift. And super-sized milkshakes to boot (the Oreo milkshake at Byron particularly comes to mind).
Honest Burgers (www.honestburgers.co.uk) is another burger speciality restaurant in London. Inspired by great British produce, it started as a pop-up restaurant in Brixton and has now opened a second outlet in the heart of Soho. Going by its success, it looks to be expanding into a chain in the near future.
Then there's Hache (www.hacheburgers.com), ahigh-end, classy burger joint that has some exquisite burgers on its menu that including Thai fish, jerk chicken, duck and steak, to name a few. Popular pub chain All Bar One (www.allbarone.co.uk) has joined the burger revolution with its special Crab and lobster burger, while it is believed that Hollywood actor Mark Wahlberg plans on bringing his famed Wahlburgers chain this side of the Atlantic.
But it's not just burgers going classy that's exciting Londoners, it's the unique flavours their taste-buds are getting to experience that's adding to the burger craze. Game On, a popular stall in London's Camden Food Market, has some of the rarest meats on offer—from kangaroo to crocodile to ostrich to venison to wild boar—cooked to perfection in a delicious burger.
Meat apart, it's the toppings that matter too. Gone are the days of just onion and ketchup in your burger. Gourmet burgers now come with gherkins, an assortment of expensive cheeses to choose from, rich creamy mayonnaise, three or four different varieties of mustard, and an army of other signature in-house sauces. There are a number of different buns to choose from as well, making eating a burger an experience in itself.
Though burgers are widely considered as the ultimate comfort food, they do not however fall under the radar of healthy food. But fear not, for those looking to eat healthy while getting their burger fix, most gourmet burgers also come in low-calorie options too, sans the mayonnaise and cheese.

Work on Erie Sept. 11 memorial could resume soon
The National September 11 Memorial & Museum opens today in New York, but Erie's own memorial to the tragedies of Sept. 11 is still months away from becoming a reality.
Former Erie City Councilman Mark Aleksandrowicz, who has spearheaded the project since 2009, said it will soon be coming out of hibernation after being put on hold in October due to the cold.
"We were waiting for nicer weather," Aleksandrowicz said.
The centerpiece of the memorial is an 18-foot-tall, 10,000-pound steel beam recovered from the former World Trade Center and erected in front of Blasco Library by Hoffman Industrial Co. in September. That beam will eventually be surrounded by a circular plaza with in-ground lighting and stone benches.
Aleksandrowicz said he's also working to create an interactive display with a touch-screen monitor inside the library that will be tied to the memorial.
He said the next step will be preparing the ground at the site for the plaza and laying concrete. But he won't know when that will start until he contacts contractors who previously offered to donate time and services to create the memorial.
"I've already called a couple of guys, and they said they're pretty busy," he said.
Aleksandrowicz said he is now looking for help wherever he can get it.
"If anybody wants to or is thinking about helping, they can give me a call," he said.
He said he hopes the memorial is completed by Sept. 11.
Aleksandrowicz had previously estimated the total cost of the memorial at a little more than $50,000, but he said the actual cost will likely be less than that because of some tweaks made to the design. He said he isn't sure how close he is to that goal because many donations come in the form of services, not money.
"But we're definitely close," he said.

Ricardo Mayorga Inks Contract For MMA Bout With Martinez
By Armando Mendoza, notifight.com
George Estrada, Director of the Omega Promotions, says former champion Ricardo "El Matador" Mayorga, has signed a contract to face Rene "Level" Martinez (4-0) in a Mixed Martial Arts contest on July 27th in Managua, Nicaragua. On May 4th in Managua, Mayorga made his debut in Mixed Martial Arts against Wesley Tiffer and won by TKO in the second round. But there were several issues after the match was over. For starters, Mayorga weighed in 20-pounds over the contracted limit of 165-pounds. Then during the fight Mayorga launched an illegal knee to the back of Tiffer, which made the fighter scream out in pain. At that point Tiffer was unable to continue and Mayorga was declared the TKO winner.
The Mixed Martial Arts Commission held a press conference in Managua on May 11, and chairman Ardeshir Zack Asagary announced that Mayorga's victory had been changed to a no-contest. The boxer was also suspended for three months.
Due to some legal manuevering by Carlos Mario Peña, Mayorga's attorney, he was able to void out the existing suspension [something having to do with a violation of the labor code of Nicaragua].

This paper is presented as an experimental inquiry into the cause of the severe shock which sometimes follows the injection of serum into the subarachnoid space of the spinal cord. The sole object of this investigation has been to determine the mechanical effect on the spinal and medullary centers, of increasing the amount and pressure of fluid in the spinal subarachnoid space. For this purpose Ringer's solution has been used, as this contains the different inorganic salts of a real physiological salt solution, and is therefore preferable to the isotonic solution of sodium chlorid commonly called by that name.No attempt has been made to use serum in any of these experiments, as it was desired to separate the mechanical effect from the obscure symptoms of serum-sickness sometimes produced by injecting a foreign blood-serum. For this reason Ringer's solution was selected, as it contains only the

"From her Mama Rose-style entrance up the aisle, Victoria Livengood imbued Mme. Flora with her wonted theatrical energy. Her barrelhouse contralto suits the role's scary moments; but, admirably, she brought legato-based soft tone to quieter passages, furnishing welcome contrast. Livengood is a seasoned Menotti interpreter who worked with the composer on this opera and The Consul and has also appeared in Maria Golovin. Her phrasing of the disintegrating fraud's final soliloquy proved expertly judged. She made every syllable of the text crystal clear, like an old-style Broadway professional."
Victoria's unforgettable performances have enchanted critics to label her "the ideal Carmen of our time" and "one of the leading singer-actresses of her generation."
The New York Times called her "naturally seductive and vocally alluring."
Opera News magazine raved that "her singing and acting radiate intensity."
The Italian press proclaimed that "the power of her voice could straighten the Tower of Pisa!"
Boston's Phoenix Magazine described her "riveting and commanding Dalila as a cross between Theda Bara and Joan Crawford and her incomparable phrasing and warmth as reminiscent of Maria Callas's recordings."

Os Lusíadas, published in Lisbon in 1572, is an epic poem in ten cantos written in decasyllabic ottava rima with rhyme scheme ABABABCC by Luís de Camões (1524?-1580) and considered one of the foremost works of world literature. Prime sources for its study are Manuel Faria e Sousa's commented edition (Madrid, 1639; rpt. Lusíadas de Luís de Camões, Comentadas por Manuel de Faria e Sousa, Introdução de Jorge de Sena, Lisboa, 1972) and the recent Dicionário de Luís de Camões compiled by Vítor Aguiar e Silva (Lisbon, 2011). The title, "Lusíadas", is a neologism referring to the deeds of the Portuguese people. C.W. Bowra compares the epic with Virgil, Tasso, and Milton (From Virgil to Milton, …

Once again, European leaders are trying to calm international market fears that Greece may default on its debts.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel is warning that a Greek default could spread throughout Europe.
She told Germany's RBB radio that policymakers' top priority is avoiding "uncontrolled insolvency" for the nation.
Merkel's comments come after warnings from President Obama that the world economy wouldn't rebound until the eurozone crisis was contained.
Some analysts say Europe could face a crisis similar to what the U.S. experienced in 2008.
"Greece is obviously the biggest immediate problem. And they're taking some steps to slow the crisis but not solve the crisis," Obama said.
"The bigger problem is what happens in Spain and Italy if the markets keep making a run at those very big countries," he added.
The Financial Times reports that Italy has turned to China for help with its debt problems.
The Italian government is hoping Beijing will buy a significant amount of government bonds and investments in key Italian companies.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Jeremy Horst needed to throw, but the Wisconsin air was too cold. His trusted gym in Green Bay was under new ownership. He embarked on a search for a winter baseball solution in the football town.
First, Horst found a gym with six tennis courts that was big enough for him to reach 180 feet in long toss. The Phillies lefthander asked the club's instructor when he could throw. It usually was available at 9 p.m., which was a problem for Horst, father of two young children.
So he sneaked into St. Norbert College in nearby De Pere.

Just have a listen to his latest rework of SBTRKT's Sampha-powered tune "Hold On." This outstanding remix should further increase the hype of SBTRKT whose single "Wildfire" has arguably been one of the hottest tunes on the blogosphere this year. Tune in below.

Indian lesbian couple win police protection after death threats

Wow. I am truly amazed by the bravery and courage of some people in our community. It takes so much deep internal work on one's beliefs and spirit to find the place within where you go against and challenge the demands on us to conform to a family's ideal. These women are heroes!
You go girls!
Well said Ray.
Fantastic news for this couple and hopefully more couples can recieve the same level of support in India. There is hope! I wish the couple well
Since the High Court decriminalised gay sex India is demonstrating that it has the potential to be the great hope of the future for democracy and human rights.
Indian judge made stupid decision. Perhaps he another homosexual pervert….
You, being a Muslim Pakistani, wouldn't be fairer to Hindus than you are to gays, so who cares what you troll about.
Well he was Nigerian the other day lol (he does get about a bit – for a man who sits on his arse all day typing drivel….lol)
A nice little earner for a QC to fly in and appeal.
good for you Girls i wish you all the happiness, heads up and walk tall
all the best to you Savita & Veena
It's such a shame that things have to come to this but glad the women can get the protection they need.
Though, just because of petty minded people that should be close and supportive they will never be able to live free and full.
I do wish then the best though and hope they can have a good safer life together.
In the west we often forget that so many people in the world fight on, virtually alone.
It astonishes me that a family would want to kill their own children… and they have the gall to call US unnatural when it is they who behave worst than animals!
Shame to them, well done Veena and Savita! Bole' Ki Jay!
Indeed, excellent point, ToniM!!
Its easy to forget that this is what the Gay Liberation struggle is all about.
Making sure everyone has the right to choose who they wish to be and how they wish to live their life.
Gradually the World is coming to terms with this notion – in part hampered by its colonial and subservient past: the notion that some people are more important than others.
It is inevitable that this will fade.
I look forward to a day when the whole of humanity can stand up and count each and every one of us as equal.

A Starred Review!
I can't resist posting a wonderful bit of good news just received this afternoon: Hobson Woodward, Associate Editor of the Adams Papers, has received the first review for his forthcoming book, A Brave Vessel: The True Story of the Castaways Who Rescued Jamestown and Inspired Shakespeare's 'The Tempest' (Viking, July). It's a starred review in Kirkus Reviews:
"In his debut, Woodward ... recounts the tale of the beleaguered Sea Venture, which set out from England in 1609 for the colony of Jamestown in the New World. ... Woodward extracts a striking richness of imagery from 400-year-old sources - life on Bermuda comes across as strange and beautiful; Jamestown, a hell on earth. The author's acute sensitivity to the hardships of the settlers will help readers gain a new appreciation for their exceedingly difficult lives.
A skillfully written history of the trials of some the earliest American colonists."
Congratulations, Hobson! What a great way to end the week.
Stay tuned for more details on a lunch talk and booksigning with Hobson to be held at the MHS in late July.
May 11, 2009, 11:35 am
Christy Blanchard
This is one fantastic read! Congratulations Hobson!
May 13, 2009, 11:28 am
Sarah Bliss
A fascinating and compelling story, rife with intriguing details about the down-and-dirty experience of daily life on board ship, and later on land, that make the story come alive, and the book a page-turner.

"Playa Avellana views" Top 5 Page for this destination Beaches... Tip by giacco
Beaches..., Provincia de Guanacaste: 7 reviews and 8 photos
Playa Avellana is one of my favorite beaches in Costa Rica. It's far enough from any city to be always calm. There is few people and many things to do. Waves are not the best, for surfers (best Playa Negra, near there) but if you like diving there is a small reef were you can snorkle directly from the beach. On the north side of the beach there are also mangroves. It's perfect for a short walk
And, if you don't want to do anything special, just lie on the sand, or better on the pillows the owner of the chill-out bar leaves strategically under the palms

The path you take when you finally decide to move to France will be unique to you and your circumstances. Our decision to move was set in motion by unemployment followed by a series of circumstances. Here is a very brief look at the events leading up to the final decision to move to France.
Move to France: Taking The Road Less Travelled
Nothing really prepares you for it; you just have to jump in and do it.
Although living in France has always been a dream of ours, we never actually believed it was something we could achieve any time soon. Our lives, our mindset and the golden handcuffs of our jobs kept us chained to our perpetual lives. Lives that were good by most people's standards maybe even great. But for two people like Blake and I who had itchy travel feet, life seemed a little mundane. Each day looked like the previous day. We worked, played, ate, slept and took the kids to school. Rinse and repeat with the yearly 2 week to 4 weeks off for vacations.
The Catalyst!
In 2007 and 2008, the economy took a turn for the worse and my husband and I were BOTH laid off from our jobs on the same day. (We worked at the high-tech internet company in Redwood City California).
We didn't know it but everything changed that day and getting laid off would be the catalyst that set us in motion towards moving to France.
It would just take a while to get there.
Flash Forward A couple of Years
Being unemployed does something to you. For one, being jobless scares you but at the same time, it can give you a sense of relief. Relief from your stressful, busy, maybe even monotonous routine. It can also open your eyes to what you are capable of doing. Meaning, when you hold a job and the rug is pulled out from under you, it forces you to do things you never thought possible. At least, that is how it was for us.
We eventually found jobs but then were laid off again and again. Something that was not all that abnormal in Silicon Valley because jobs were abundant or at least they used to be. But you can be laid off only s many times before you start to worry and you can be unemployed for only so long before you start to worry.
"We started to worry". It's not cheap living in the San Francisco bay area and the life we created required high paying jobs to maintain that lifestyle. We knew we had to do something. Rather than sticking around and depleting our savings, we decided to cut our losses and get a fresh start on the east coast nearer to where our families lived and where the cost of living would be less. We thought in the least, our money would last longer in a less expensive area.
Between October 2010 and October 2011, we lived somewhat unconventionally as a semi nomadic family of five. We had two home-bases. One in Montreal Canada with my aunt and the other in Maryland with Blake's sister's family. We carried only what we needed with a few extra things for each of our three kids: small toys for Catherine, a skateboard, guitar etc for the boys. The rest of our things or what was left of them were in a storage unit somewhere in Massachusetts.
Why Boston?
Strategically speaking, Boston was in the perfect location. Not only was it in New England near the water, but it was also almost directly located between my family in Montreal and Blake's family in the states. It seemed like the perfect place for two ex silicon valley workers like us to look for jobs, settle down and start new lives.
Or so we thought!
The mind-set dilemma
Although no one ever said it outright, if you spend any amount of time living in North America, it is implied that there is a certain conventional lifestyle that we all should try to achieve. (Some people call it the American Dream). If you break away from that mould then somehow you are doing it wrong or hurting your children and family. Or at least that is the sense that I got.
That year of living like vagabonds outside of social norms changed us.
We were breaking the mould big time and I felt strange, even guilty for living like a family of vagabonds. To make matters worse, it felt like we were spinning our wheels looking for jobs that didn't pan out, didn't exist or didn't pay enough. Both Blake and I became disheartened, stressed out and in some ways a little desperate.
Something strange or interesting happens, depending on how you look at it, when you are backed into a corner , hit rock bottom or run out of choices.
Our situation made us get creative and we started looking at options outside of our comfort zone.
That's when we entertained the idea of moving to France for a year. Both Blake and I had lived abroad before meeting one another however neither of us had any experience living abroad as a married couple let alone with three children in tow. We had discussed it before however there were always road blocks. We had jobs, a house, lives and friends. But now, all those barriers were gone. Our stuff was conveniently in storage.
We could go anytime now so why not?
Money! That's why.
The Money Dilemma
We had already tackled the mindset dilemma but like any normal family, we had concerns about money and how to pay for our trip. After brainstorming, we came up with some possible scenarios. We knew that if we could somehow manage the money part than we would be one step closer to making our move to France a reality.
- Use what we have: Make our current rental income and savings go as far as possible.
- Freelance: Earn money by leveraging our skills and strengths by freelancing or consulting. This would give us the ability to earn money anywhere we land.
- Find jobs in France. (almost impossible, we tried this and it never panned out because we are not EU citizens).
- Upgrade our skills: Believe it or not this blog is a way for me to keep my skills updated should I ever decide to return to the workforce. I write, I promote, I troubleshoot, I create all my own graphics. I do it all. You can hire me to help you if you like.
Obviously we overcame all our obstacles because as I write this we are living in France.
What's my point in sharing this with you?
We all have our own set of circumstances, road blocks or whatever it is that is stopping us from making our dreams come true.
Sometimes it takes an unfortunate event to make us break from the mould.
Why wait?
If you really want to do something don't let your fears stop you. Don't let other people tell you how you are supposed to live. If you think it is a good idea or the right thing to do than do it. It may take you a while but eventually you will get there and you will not regret it because anything worth doing takes work which makes the victories of your success so much sweeter.
So there you have it. What issues are you struggling with? What's stopping you?

It was so beautiful. We saw the first half of the waterfall first and that was impressive enough but then as we followed the path round it opened up into two really tall waterfalls. It was the most impressive waterfall we've seen here.

The couple who own the cottage had left some treats for us around the cottage. Mum's favourite is the apples that the man had picked from his apple tree in the garden. He had left us a fruit bowl full and said if we wanted anymore, we could help ourselves off the tree.

One of the bigger announcements so far is the return of the 'White Infrared' Air Jordan VI Retro, a 1991 original colorway that will be returning for its first release since the OGs (outside of the 2010 'Varsity Red' remix and that year's Infrared two-pack). This classic Jordan 6 with the white leather upper, bright red hits and icey outsole will be releasing on Saturday, February 15th, so take a closer look at some new photos after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for the latest.

Wow, it's been a while hasn't it? What have I been up to? Got into law school and my first year has been hectic. New girlfriend, almost at one year anniversary, going to Hawaii to celebrate. Molokai to be specific.
So, a lot.
On the gaming end of things, I've been playing the X Series of late. I'm on Raptr under Caladus for my stats and other things if you want to check that out. It's like Steam chat, only different. I'm on X2 The Threat and have my interstellar trade empire built out nicely. Going to complete the plot of the game one of these days and move on to X3 Reunion. Before the X Series I played a lot of Privateer and Wing Commander games. Skipped Freelancer because of it's extremely static virtual galaxy and avoided a lot of ramen in the process.
It doesn't always make sense does it?
Well I'm out, watching Fullmetal Alchemist and prepping dinner ingredients. Italian Casserole night. Oh yeah. My girlfriend's a nurse, and she works nights occasionally. I've been cooking a lot lately. I enjoy it. Lots of fun.
20 side up, gamers. See you next time.

Prues request new lawyersMay 11,2013
ST. JOHNSBURY — A Vermont couple charged in the killing of a popular St. Johnsbury teacher last year want new lawyers.
Allen and Patricia Prue have been charged in the death of 33-year-old Melissa Jenkins in March 2012. They are accused of luring Jenkins from her Danville home, beating and strangling her and dumping her body in the Connecticut River. They have pleaded not guilty.
The Prues will be tried separately and have different lawyers.
Patricia Prue has asked the state for a new court-appointed attorney to replace Marc Eagle, of Lamoille. Eagle filed a motion to withdraw as her attorney, citing "ethical and professional" reasons.
Allen Prue also has asked for a new lawyer.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Goalie Emily Bashara stopped 44 shots but the Green Knights still had a field day...

Hi everyone.
I was wondering for a a bit of advice. The other day I tried to put one of wig into a ponytail using a foam head and pins to hold it place. It looked ok, however it is now tight on my head and I could see plenty of my natural hair colour. Any suggestions on how to account for that? I have tried tissue but it just seems to clump at certain places when you place it back on the wig foam?
Also to help it stay in place should I use hair spray or manga head or something?
Thanks for you help!

Unfortunately there's no way to get around the lumpyness really if you have a female wig head and try to do a tail. They're significantly smaller so it will look a little odd when you take the wig off and put it on the head because it then stretches and pulls on the tail. It is still possible to do a tail on a fem head but you need to ensure the cap is completely stretched when pinning it.
If you didn't want to stretch it out then it's best to do it on your head or a male wig head as they're normal head sized and you can make sure you have complete coverage. As long as the tail isn't pulling down then storing it on a smaller form is fine. You shouldn't need any kind of product for just a tail, the band will keep everything in place just like doing a tail on your own hair.

Try stretching the wig out as much as possible on the wig form. You might also want to make the wig head bigger by padding it out with newspaper or something, which you can duct tape to the form, or hold in place with a wig cap over it. Try measuring the circumference of your head, with your hair up, and get the wig form to match that measurement.
However, you might just find you can style it while you're wearing the wig if it's just a simple low ponytail. That guarantees it'll fit your head, and you can ensure none of your own hair is showing. I've never had much of a problem putting wigs into low ponytails or braids whilst wearing them, since it's just like styling my own hair! If you find the wig's slipping as you try to style it, pin it to your natural hair first to keep it in place.

this is ganna maybe sound imbarassing but go to a hairdressers and ask them to do it for you.

I normally just try to style them while they are on. If it's something rather intricate then maybe I'll see if a friend can help. I have a friend who is hairdresser and she styled and dyed a wig for me once. Stylists normally have no problem working on a wig as generally that is what they learned on.
Good Luck

Uber Visiting the Queen City: Free rides!
Hello Queen City! As Charlotte prepares for #DNC2012, we thought it time to test the waters and launch an 'Uber Pop-up Shop' for the week.
This week marks the 2012 Democratic National Convention Committee Media Walkthrough, so Uber will have vehicles in Charlotte from June 4th-June 8th. Pickup times will be shortest downtown and near the airport, but coverage will extend throughout Charlotte.
If we can woo you the way we think we can, we'll be back in September for #DNC2012 doing whatever we can to smoothly chauffer the masses and help Charlotte show it's a force to be reckoned with.
We've left out the best part: Your first Uber ride in Charlotte this week will be free! Simply request as normal and your first trip will be automatically billed as $0 (up to $40). For more info on Charlotte: http://www.uber.com/Charlotte.
Theo LeCompte, the COO of the DNCC, was our Rider Zero this morning. He had a seamless pickup at the airport, hopefully the start of great things as we move about Charlotte!
Uber is Bipartisan! For more info on Uber at the Republican National Convention, follow @Uber_RNC2012 here :)

New London - Nothing says summer like a string of perfect beach days.
So when the first official weekend of the season came and went at Ocean Beach Park, it did so without ceremony - just another set of glorious, sun-abundant, 70-something afternoons, marked only by the sights and sounds that have filled it for days now: hundreds packing the sand, crowds of brave souls neck-deep in the frigid water. Like a floor of towels and a Technicolor forest of umbrellas is its natural state - as if it's always been this way.
As if just three weeks ago, it wasn't pouring rain for 24 hours straight, the shore sodden and the creamery shuttered, the parking lot abandoned, the carousel empty. April showers still in full onslaught, long past their welcome. Summer slipped in unnoticed, and on Sunday, it's as if it never left.
By early afternoon, the cars have spilled over onto the stretch of grass next to the parking lot. A small crowd waits patiently at the window of the Boardwalk Creamery. A little boy with saltwater-sticky hair, hardened into spikes, looks troubled as he deliberates.
His sister's order arrives before the cup of cotton candy-flavored Mini Melts he settled on - a cone of soft-serve vanilla. He reaches up with grabby hands.
"No," his mother scolds, "that's Sissy's. You can't have that."
Next to them stands a little girl whose rainbow sprinkles-coated cone matches the rims of her sunglasses. A little smear of melted vanilla pools in the indent of her chin. Overhead, a plane tugs along a banner featuring the image of a plastic cup of iced Dunkin' Donuts coffee and the accompanying text, "You look hot down there."
"Eat up, honey," the girl is instructed. "It's gonna melt."
Here, under a sky that's clear save for some faint wisps of cloud, past the frozen treats, there are four spots to survey - the rides, the sand, the water, and the arcade.
On the carousel - a dollar a token, three tokens to ride - a blonde toddler with stubby pigtails appears unsure atop a blue elephant. Moments later, she trades up for a handsome white steed with a pink and teal saddle. When the ride lurches to start, her mouth drops open.
Just outside the gate, a girl her size, head to toe in pastel seahorses, gazes on wistfully.
"Get to the car, Stella," her mother says.
"I want to watch the horses," she pleads, to no avail.
The sun-weary grab some shade, relaxing on benches beneath the metal awning at the edge of the boardwalk. But on the sand, they lap it up, idle bodies appearing to be permanent fixtures, glazed with a sheen of sweat and sunscreen. All around them, the detritus of a well-planned beach excursion - coolers, bejeweled sandals, armchairs, blankets.
A girl in a bikini demonstrates a flawlessly executed back flip for her family; one dozing sibling misses it.
"Wait, did she do it?" he asks, lifting only his head.
"Do it with no hands!" crows another.
One man in the lap of luxury dangles a perfect bunch of green grapes above his face, plucking them off one by one - one for the little one, one for him.
Down closer to the shoreline, a seeming army of lone toddlers, arms swaddled in floaties, bottoms plunked on the sand, are on a mission to fill their buckets or dig. An older group of four girls delegates sandcastle duties - patting, fortifying, scooping, molding. So far, their diligence has yielded a soggy, doughnut-shaped fort with a stick impaled in its concave center.
"Our back wall's gonna cave!" one of them warns, as the encroaching tide licks ever closer.
Just beyond them, the water is dotted with white, wobbly sailboats. Adults grimace, toe the chilly froth; the children seem universally undaunted, splashing in head on, squealing with delight. Their parents snap quick photos on their phone cameras as their baby fish emerge, grinning, from the sea.
Back up around the boardwalk, the arcade beckons away from the swelter with neon signage, a dark haven of artificially cold air.
A couple of kids work the candy crane in one corner. But on the other side, the door is swung wide open, back out into the sun again.
And on a day like this - another perfect beach day - who wants to be inside?
