to think that being a MIL is not a bed of roses(144 Posts)
I am mum of x4 boys. No Granny No 1 for me (tho DS1 is only 7 so a way off yet).
Yet still I wonder when they have all flocked the nest and coupled off (if they do) what the future holds.
Strikes me that being a MIL is hard work. Damned if you do damned if you don't.
My MIL is a nightmare but then my family account for 80% of her grandchildren so she likes to be very involved.
Just wonder what I need to be doing to psychologically prepare myself for the day I get a DDIL and how to love her/make her love me.
thoughts on a postcard pls
Judging by the threads on here...YANBU.
Just a few things spring to mind, because of my MIL
Don't refuse to accept that sons who are old enough to marry and have children have grown up. Don't, then, continue to treat adult sons and their wives as tough they are still children. Don't commit your negative feelings, if you have any, to paper. I learned to avoid MIL after her letter to another DIL congratulating her on severing the bond between mother and son. Her crime was to marry one of MIL's adult sons. Can you see the pattern here? Even the GDCs don't want to visit.
If you want to give advice on parenting, try to remember that ideas change between one generation and the next. Advice re breast feeding, weaning etc may be very different in 20 year's time, fe, it's not set in stone.
If you have an idea of something you think DCs might like, run it by the parents before telling DCs that they can do it.
Remember that just as a DIL joins your family, so your son becomes and SIL to his wife's family, and he chose to marry her. That means he wants to live with and possibly raise children with her. That doesn't make him her possession, just as he isn't his parent's possession.
Basically, you'll be dealing with two adults who are capable of thinking for themselves and making their own decisions, raising their own children etc. and if one criticisers the other (as in DIL saying your son was out of line) have you seriously never critized your DH, ever?
FWIW I'm not keanly looking forward to my DDs getting married. My OH got off lightly, both my parents passed very soon after we got married. He did, however, get a full dose of MIL from hell first time around (I'm the second wife)
I also think greylady's advice is sound. adult children are ADULTs they likely don't want your advice, wont care to hear your opinions on child-rearing and won't enjoy you trying to take on the role of a teacher. just be supportive and don't undermine or interfere. A little praise never hurt any relationship - don't you ever praise/compliment your friends?
If your mothers winding you up its usually easy to tell her or say back off, its not easy when its not your mother.
Just remember its not your baby,and yes you may feel that your needs are desperately important when it comes to how you want to interact with the baby but they are not as important as the parents needs.
You may want to turn up when the baby is a few hours old and the mother has only just got home and had no sleep but chances are you will not be welcome ( especially if you turn up hungry demanding she cook you dinner)
Imhe that very first visit if to soon or demanded or you expect to be catered for,or you ignore the mum and hog the baby will start a downward run towards issues.
Also accept that straight away its possible that her mum may be welcome when your not but its not about her mum being number 1,its usually about mum being more comfortable in those few hours/ days with the state she will be in and all the icky child birth bits only being seen by her dh and her own mum.
Yes you are dh's mum and he loves you very much and I'm sure he would love to have you visit but its highly unlikely that he is bleeding like a slasher victim, struggling to sit down without crying,feeling like his nipples have been sandblasted and finding it very hard to stop the contents of his genitals and intestines from dropping out all over the floor.
It may take a couple of days for her to feel like she's fit to receive people that did not give birth to her. It's not all just about the new baby.
I have a boy and three girls and my DIL will be treated exactly the same as my daughters, I certainly will ask if I can have my grandchildren over to stay, not under the age of year and I'd be unimpressed if she was farming out a baby be she my daughter or DIL.
My own mother was at the birth of two of her sons children to support him tbh and he needed it too.
There's no right or wrong way just your family way and anyone who wants to join my family will have to shape up and join in.
You just need to accept that, whilst still important, you will not be the most important woman in your DS' lives, and behave accordingly. I think some problems arise because mothers can't let go. I also think that there are some double standards because it seems ok for mothers and daughters to have very close relationships, but there is a suspicion around 'Mummy's boys' that they have not evolved into mature adults.

This. I chat with my family everyday, so why shouldn't dh do the same?
I enjoy visiting PIL and stay with them even when dh can't make it. Mil and I don't have much in common and FIL doesn't speak English (they live abroad). But it is calm and relaxing. I don't try to seek mil's approval and nor does she seek mine. Very restful all around
I think that the whole issue is to do with 'letting go'. The parent's job is to make themselves redundant and you need to start early and do it very gradually. It doesn't mean that you sever all links- if you do it well they come and see you because they love spending time with you. You ought to have got used to only giving advice if it is asked for - and to smile and nod. If you haven't , then you will have problems because the DIL isn't going to accept it - in the way that she might with her own mother if she hasn't let go. You also have to accept that your DSs choice might not be yours and you will have to work at the relationship. (DIL needs to realise it too). The whole problem comes about if you have two possessive women who are over keen on the word MY as in MY DS, MY DH, MY baby- instead of just referring to them by their first name.
It can't be right that all mothers of DSs are dreadful women and all mothers of DDs are wonderfully understanding women! It just amounts to the fact that women put up with a lot from a mother that they wouldn't from a MIL and both sides should treat them as adults. SILs don't have the same problem- they just distance themselves rather than get into open conflict.
I am MIL to a DSIL and DDIL. I must admit I found it very hard at first when I realised that I was no longer the most important person in DS and DD's lives but it has all worked out very well.
There is a lot of tongue biting involved but the joys of being a grandparent far outweigh this.
I do feel that there is a different relationship with DD and her family than with DS and his. I have spoken to other Grannys and a lot feel closer to their DD's children than their DS's. I am lucky to have a very nice SIL and DIL who have brought great joy to my life.
I am closer to my DMIL than I am to my mother (haven't spoken to my mum in years).
How to be a good MIL: accept that your child is a grown up and that your opinion doesn't matter (unless asked for)!
I can't imagine why you would feel closer to a DD's children than a DS's children- my mother doesn't. Geographically she sees far more of my brother's children but she makes her own relationship anyway.
Good advice! Its so tricky! Take the sentence, for example "would you like me to clean the bathroom for you?" As a mil, that would be me trying to help around the house after newish baby, rather than sitting cuddling baby having a cup of tea etc. As a dil it could imply interfering old mil is criticising housekeeping skills!
My aim as a mil is to think 3 times before I say anything which could be misconstrued, give lots of praise, only offer advice when asked, tell them they are the only experts with their baby and enjoy some fun times playing with the little ones.
This thread has prompted me to rejoin.
I am the mum of an only child (ds10) and I am terrified at the thought of being a 'mil', it seems a minefield indeed.
My husband is also an only child and his mother is the most overbearing, bossy person I have ever known. As a result of her behaviour and attitude towards me I am civil to her but nothing else. She has caused this over the 12 years by;
1. Phoning my husband every day at tea time to check what he'd had for his tea (he moved in with me aged 25!!!)
2. Coming round to my house when I was at work to visit Her son before we were married and digging plants out the garden, replacing them with her own ( without asking) and cleaning. I found this soooooo offensive! Some may think this was nice but to me it was a major intrusion of privacy, I did not have that type of relationship with my own mother.
3. When I fell pregnant just before we got married she was unhappy. She criticised the name we had chosen for des so much that we had no choice but to chAnge it. When he was born she wouldn't come to visit at the hosp until she had an invite! Everyone else was excited and couldn't wait to come! She then grimaced when she arrived and I was bf ing new ds. She said that's yuk! (Stupid woman!!!!!)
4. When I got him home after 5 days in hosp I got no offer of any house hold help but did get her phoning me every morning at 10 am asking if she could take him out in the pram! Err no, he is newborn and bf!
5. As ds got older she formed a strong bond and encouraged him to call her mum. She had her own clothes, buggy and toys hidden away for him at hers despite us sending him with stuff. She still to this day can't get his name right and calls him by Dh name (her son)
6. When she heard we were trying to conceive our second child she was horrified and said 'how would you cope' and told ds that he shouldn't want a brother or sister as it would spoil his fun. As it happened we were struggling to conceive and were diagnosed with unexplained sub fertility - to this day, 8 years on we are still without another child.
I am soooooo angry with her I could scream but I maintain civility for the sake of Dh and ds. I haven't even touched on the bossing and her criticism of my housekeeping and weight, grrrrr!
Please please make me a better mil than mine. Phew, I feel better writing all that down...
Fairy, people should wait to be invited to visit unless they have the sort of relationship where both people know its ok to just turn up.
Everything else you've said is strange but that bit it called being considerate
Sock I see your point and I can see that it is considerate to wait to be asked to visit a newborn in hospital but this 'considerate' behaviour didn't fit in with the rest of her behaviour up to and since that point.
It wasn't considerate to be critical of the name chosen for her grandchild, or to wade in to another womans home and take over but that didn't stop her.
My own thoughts are that her nose was so far out of joint that she was no longer the main thing in her ds life as he now had his own ds and she resented that.
It is a difficult relationship though. When I was growing up I thought all families did everything the same as ours did. It was quite a shock to find that wasn't the case. As the DD you will tend to do things more-or-less as your own parents did (unless you deliberately do the opposite) and the DIL will do things the way her family does.
My DB's DD is the same age as my children and they all got together quite often when they were young. My SIL dressed her DD differently to the way I did - which my mum saw as odd - one example is we always had Clarks shoes and so did my DC - DN used to arrive in "fashion" shoes which DM highly disapproved of.
If you are someone who has gone along with co-sleeping, EBF, late potty training and BLW it must be very hard to bite your tongue when your DIL puts her baby into its own room from day 1 and leaves it to cry (for example).
One of my FB friends is the same age as my DS3 and has young children. She was having a real moan recently that her mum was having a go at her for leaving her baby to cry. I would have done the same . Yet I had an interfering MIL and was convinced I wouldn't interfere. Sadly I think I will.
Mosman - but when your children marry, they are not joining your family - they are starting to build a new family unit of their own , with close links to your family and the new spouse's family. What if the spouse's family do things differently to yours ? Who do the married couple shape up and fit in with ? This is part of the control issue that some have had problems with - once your children have left home and formed new partnerships, they actually don't have to shape up and fit in with you anymore.
And if your brother's (?) wife was happy for her MiL to be there fine - but when a woman us giving birth nobody has the right to insist on being there
Fairy, I'm so sorry to hear about your unreasonable mil, you will learn from her and be an excellent mil I'm surexxx However as baby stuff changes constantly from generation to generation who knows what will be "in" when our young sons are fathers!!! I'm practising the statement " that's interesting, what a brilliant idea".
In spite of tricky mil ( usual stuff!!!!!!!) all my children did bond well with grandmas and the things that drive us mad/demented/annoyed seem to amuse them, especially as children and grandparents age.
My MIL is lovely and I'd like to be just like her if/when I have a son in law (or a daughter in law for that matter).
She loves my DDs, she can not remember a thing about raising her boys so cannot comment on if I am parenting right or not, she is also funny and caring and loves playing games with the DDs.
MIL truly makes the most of every second with the DDs. But then she only became a MIL aged 79 and a grandma aged 80 - its is something she never thought she would experience. We also get on very well.
Ps I do understand that there is a big difference between generally being fed up and annoyed with mil and the really toxic damaging sort which sadly seem to exist.
Story, thanks I hope so
I read tales on here of some terrible MILs who really need to learn to stand back a bit and give their DILs a bit of space and respect.
But I also read lots of silly, petty complaints from overly precious DILs who treat their children like a toy they're not prepared to share with anyone else and refuse to accept that they're also part of a larger extended family. I do feel terribly sorry for MILs in those situations who must spend their time walking on egg shells as they try to maintain some involvement in the lives of their beloved grandchildren.
..all this provides much food for thought.
It seems to me that the knub is that both MIL and DIL should accept people do things differently and not be critical of each other.
However this is all very well but the reality is different.
My MIL riles because (ashamed to admit this) I think she wasn't a great mother to my DH (based on things he has said about his upbringing) and she insists that her view of the world is the only acceptable one. NB she is fascist, anti feminist who believes women should subsume themselves to (and I quote) 'The Men'
I think I will concentrate my efforts on making my boys good and appreciative of the women in their lives and happily waving them off to their own lives when the time comes.
Will cross the grandmother issue as and when it arrives.
I hope I'm like your mil kitcatxxx I sometimes "forget" what I did with mine actually so that it doesn't look as if I'm saying " well I used to do ..........."
Eggshells is all part of the learning curve!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, they will soon run awaay and grow well - it's the wind I find can scorch them at this time so the little GH is a good idea for now.
Yes, am turning out some overwintered things from the GH to the cold frame to make room for peppers, tomatoes and so on - always a difficult time of year for protection this - you can get the odd very clear beautiful night with a plunge in temperature to match. A few bits of horticultural fleece to hand is useful if things look dangerous.
One of our near neighbours grow the most incredible white calla lilies, they have been in their container for years - once she takes the covers off those I reckon we are pretty safe - she did it this week!
Yes, any newly planted young trees around here at present would need an anchor to keep them in place!! If each has a well placed, low stake, and a cleared of grass area to grow in they should do fine - do deer eat oaks? I know there are some trees they don't, but as that is a problem we don't have here I know little about it. Tree guards are a good idea, or if the deer don't get them the rabbits might - all protection you can give - though nature does her job prettyd well anyway, she probably appreciates a helping hand now and again. Good luck.
If anyone could answer that one positively they could spend the rest of their life sitting on a money mountain - the long and the short of it is that you can't, you can reduce them and learn to use things they don't like, and then learn to live with the remainder.
I have found that grit, egg shells etc. do not help at all here, nor do most of the barrier methods, and believe me I have tried them all. I gow around 65 hostas in pots, so you can imagine the battles we have. The only 2 things I have found useful are copper collars on the pots, they will not cross those, and the iron based slug pellets which do no harm to other wild life - I would not use the other ones. I hear that beer traps work well, btu cold notbring mysef to empty them!!
Nematodes do work very well indeed, but are expensive, very hard work to apply, last a short time only and once your slugs have gone, as nature abhores a vaccuum all the neighbours slugs move in later on!! Encourage lots of things that eat slugs, especially the huge horrible ones, as they do your plants no harm at all, although they look revolting, but they live on the small slugs which do damage your plants to death. Lots of birds of course, and if you are lucky, a hedgehog or two.
It is ideal to remove as many roots as possible, but some of the tree roots we should have removed when the trees were felled, could not be removed uness we destroyed most of that side of the garden - and I was not prepared to do that. One shrub that was in situ when we came 16 years ago we tried to remove roots and all, and having dug down to almost hit magma, decided enough was enough. it tries to grow each year, and around the beginning of june I cut it as far to ground level as I can. There are many other things growing around it, and it is slowly weakening. A cherry tree that got fire blight we cut off at around 5 foot, and use the clear stump to show a piece of sculpture my OH's ister made for us. So far no problem with that, been about 5 years now I think.
We have been fighting rose of sharon since we came here, and until the very wet weather last year thoguht we were getting on top of it, but it loved the wet and has made a come back in many places it did not show before. I do try and follow the roots as far as I can, but inevitably they break off and I don't get to the end. Ever onward I suppose.
I'd love to grow several things that are just too tender for our midland garden, but the one I would like most is Echium. I saw these towering blue spikes when on holiday in Cornwall/Devon a few years ago and fell into instant covet!! No way they would be happy here though, added to which it is very windy - looking out at the tulips ricking steadily out there.
All the luck in the world with the move of the oak trees - please do let us know how you get on - and how they look in situ, if the client doesn't mind that.
Yes, there is one thing very few if any fruit books tell you, and that is that raspberries can become a pest!! Delicious though they are, they do need controlling don't they. I'd be inclined to keep the well fruiting ones in situ rather than damaging their rather shallow roots - and this is something you need to consider while removing the surplus. It is easier to do this later in the season, but quite realise that now is when you need to reduce them. It may be as well to cut them down to ground level now and remove the unwanted roots later when fruiting is over, but that will depend upon what you need to do.
Hmm, interersting that you are having trouble with the blue one, with more desscription of the problems I wonder one of two things. Is there any way it could have been damaged at some point in the last little while, maybe by a pigeon, someone walking past or something, allowing the damage to be obvious later. Also I wonder if you had a late frost which might have damaged the forming bloom.
Bark can be a good ground cover, and a good mulch. We use it in our fruit cage, though not on the beds because I am not particularly keen on its appearance. I do mulch the beds with compost each year. Your bark chippings will be best just laid on top of the ground, nature will do the rest. Get the first plantings in and then lay it if you choose to do so.
The plants will certainy grow through it, even the smallest of bulbs - in fact I have a snowdrop and a crocus that appear to have grown through concrete!! I do not dig my garden, ever, having done it once and for all 15 - 17 years ago, I rely on close planting and as vigorous a weeding as I can give, if I feel like it. The only time we dig anything is to plant a new tree, fruit or whatever. There are books about the 'no dig' garden you might like to borrow from the library and see what you think about. Our soil is quite good, and getting better with the compost we put on top each year, the worms and beetles etc. pull it down and enrich the soil that way. If you do go ahead, all you need to do is scrape way an area to plant you new plants and they will be quite happy, pull the bark back over the area, with it not touching the stems to begin with. Some bark can change the Ph of your soil, something to keep in mind depending upon what you want to grow in it.
I think that, if you do go ahead, that finer bark looks better than the coarser chop, though that is a matter of personal taste. There is nothing to be afraid of, and it does reduce the depth to which weeds can grow their roots, making it easier to get them out - but it will not stop them trying!

Universities gird for battle for bioscience supremacy
SAN FRANCISCO -- Universities nationwide are racing to lure top biotech scientists and research dollars, resources that could fuel one of this century's most promising industries.
Perhaps nowhere is the outcome more crucial than in the bicoastal battle pitting Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology against Stanford and the University of California in San Francisco.
The prize goes well beyond bragging rights. Billions in government-research dollars are up for grabs. Schools could earn millions in royalties paid by biotech start-ups licensing campus lab discoveries
Biotech clusters
Cambridge, Mass., and the San Francisco Bay area are home to a combined 1,000 biotechs and 100,000 biotech workers, industry officials say -- the USA's biggest clusters.
Many, including leaders Genentech in south San Francisco and Biogen Idec and Genzyme in Cambridge, trace their births to those universities.
"It's a real cauldron of activity," Hockfield said in an interview.
Bulldozers in San Francisco stir up dust at the University of California's 43-acre Mission Bay campus, where nearby office buildings are planned in the next 15 years for biotechs that could employ 5,000 workers.
At $1.5 billion, it's the USA's biggest university biomedical expansion, UCSF says. A centerpiece is QB3, a joint venture between UCSF and sister UC campuses in Berkeley and Santa Cruz.
QB3, with a $100 million building budget, will combine 1,500 scientists from biology to computer science to physics aiming to solve medical mysteries. Executive director Regis Kelly, a neuroscientist, moved into QB3's new office last month.
Turning from a view of the glittering San Francisco Bay, he points to a room that will house 2,000 computer servers. Lashed together, they could slash the time researchers spend in early drug development, a period accounting for a chunk of the often $1 billion cost of developing a single new drug, Kelly says.
He doesn't hesitate when asked about the Broad Institute, a joint venture of Harvard and MIT similar to QB3.
"The Broad is our major competition," he says.
Broad, launched last year with a $100 million gift from Los Angeles entrepreneur Eli Broad, has 400 researchers and other employees from the schools and affiliated hospitals pursuing cancer cures.
For example, scientists are hunting for what Broad calls cancer's "Achilles' heel" -- genes that cancers need to survive. Cataloging genes could speed discovery of cures.
Universities have long been engines of innovation, exploring science too dicey for even the bravest start-ups, says Michael Lytton, general partner at Oxford Bioscience Partners. It's a venture-capital firm investing in biotech start-ups.
MIT Provost Robert Brown compares his school's role in advancing the biotech industry in Massachusetts with Stanford's in the evolution of Silicon Valley. "This is the address to be," he says.
Hockfield wants to keep it that way. Her advocacy comes as the state fears losing biotechs to California, as it did with computer development in the 1980s.
"At MIT, we will do our part to make sure that this process does not repeat itself," Hockfield told the Massachusetts Biotechnology Council last month in one of her first speeches since being inaugurated.
MIT and other schools guard billions in government research money flowing to biotech and other "life sciences" that combine engineering, biology, math and other disciplines.
Last year, life sciences accounted for 54% of the $54.1 billion in federal research spending, up from 41% in 1994.
A measure of that shift: MIT, with about $1 billion in research grants, for the first time got more from the National Institutes of Health in 2003 than from its longtime patron, the Defense Department. "Last year, it blew through the roof," Brown says.
Potential pitfalls
Still, for all of its potential benefits to schools, biotech poses political and financial risks.
Human embryonic stem-cell research is opposed by many social conservatives who compare it to abortion because it often destroys embryos.
Harvard collided with Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney last month when he unsuccessfully sought to limit legislation boosting stem-cell work at the school and elsewhere.
There are campus politics, too. Many Harvard professors are upset about Summers' leadership as he pushes deeper into science. The former Treasury secretary lost a rare no-confidence vote by the Arts and Sciences faculty three months ago, partly because of his remarks about the suitability of science as a career for women.
At Stanford, former professor James Clark, a co-founder of Netscape Communications, withdrew $60 million of his promised $150million gift for an initiative, Bio-X, to protest restrictions President Bush imposed on the federal funding of embryonic stem-cell research.
Started in 1998, Bio-X combines faculty from across campus in computer science, physics and other fields.
The newest participants will likely include Stefan Heller of Harvard and Michael Clarke of the University of Michigan, the two scientists coming this fall.
They hope to tap some of California's $300 million in annual stem-cell research money in the next 10 years. Heller studies how stem cells might be turned into sound-sensing cells as a possible cure for deafness. Clarke studies the role of stem cells in breast cancer.
Financial risks loom when schools pursue new disciplines, hoping to generate more research and other income.
Harvard, in Cambridge, is developing a new campus in nearby Allston, on the Boston side of the Charles River, that will have a heavy science focus. It's a project the school compares with UCSF's Mission Bay, which Summers has toured.
Harvard's Hyman, hired in 2001 from the National Institutes of Health, says the school wants more "useful collaborations with industry."
But tacitly conceding that closer corporate ties are controversial, he says Harvard is committed to research driven by faculty and student interest and not solely "by the pursuit of commercial gain."
Critics such as Professor Gary Rhoades at the University of Arizona worry that schools cozying up to biotech and other industries will be ethically compromised in the pursuit of riches. A scientist with a corporate consulting deal might be less willing to publish research that could be useful to other scientists.
Moreover, schools with fewer resources than an MIT or a Stanford might copy their pricey biotech investments, then raise tuition to pay for them.
"We play follow the leader," says Rhoades, who co-authored a book on the subject last fall, Academic Capitalism and the New Economy.
That might mean following UCSF, where the QB3 program has been charged by lawmakers with boosting California's economy by retaining biotechs and nurturing new ones. That underlines the pressure public universities shoulder in a 21st century driven by biology.
QB3 chief Kelly says private schools such as MIT, Harvard and Stanford can bide their biotech time.
"They don't have to worry about hustling," he says. "I like to hustle."

We are all too familiar with that one hopeful phrase: "Don't worry; you can totally wear it again!" As much as we'd love to believe it, sometimes the idea of wearing that drab bridesmaid dress again sounds like a total myth. Fortunately, Kennedy Blue designed its bridesmaid collection to not only be worn again, but with its mix-and-match options, your girls can actually choose a style they'll like! However, we don't blame you for doubting wear-again bridesmaid dresses, so we took a variety of Kennedy Blue dresses and re-styled them to create fun summer styles. You would never guess that they once made their way down the aisle!
Whether going to work, having happy hour with the girls, or stopping for a much-needed coffee break, creating a casual look is as simple as adding a few extra pieces from your everyday wardrobe. Here are some common myths about re-wearing a bridesmaid dress that we're here to solve:
Myth #1: A floor-length dress needs to be shortened to be considered a wear-again bridesmaid dress.
Answer: Absolutely not! Try a cropped top on a full-length skirt to create a slimming look! We mimicked the look of a maxi skirt by pairing our full-length Kennedy Blue dresses Olivia in blush (left) and Emma in charcoal (right) with cropped tops that hit at the natural waist. The tied up, vintage t-shirt and floral, cropped tank top add casual and summery elements to what was once a very formal bridesmaid dress. Adding a chunky and vibrant accent necklace will also create the perfect pop of color for a fun and girly look.
Myth #2: If the bridesmaid dress isn't your style, you can't magically turn it to something you'll want to wear again.
Answer: But yet, you can! If a dress doesn't fit your personal style, add pieces that reflect who you are as a person and make it totally your own. We paired Chloe in coral (left) with a light blue button up and cowboy-like boots for a sweet and charming girl-next-door type of feel. For a more hipster, down-to-earth vibe, Charlotte in navy (right) was paired with a bold Aztec-patterned scarf, beaded headband, and TOMS wedges.
Myth #3: Bridesmaid dresses can only be worn again for other formal events.
Answer: So not true! Paired with everyday pieces such as a good statement necklace and denim, you create a summer style that's unique and casual. By pairing Violet in peacock (left) with a classic denim jacket, or Hannah in navy (right) with a trendy denim vest, you're perfectly prepared for a low-key lunch date or a full day of door-to-door shopping!
Hopefully we've proven that Kennedy Blue is the perfect designer line if you're searching for the practical choice of wear-again bridesmaid dresses. With the right accessories, your bridesmaid dress can easily become a piece of your everyday wardrobe. Now it's your turn to show us how you would re-style Kennedy Blue! Leave a picture in the comments below, send them to firstname.lastname@example.com, or tag us on Instagram using #KennedyBlue.

Taking Your Measurements
For the most accurate measurements, do not measure over your clothing. Your measurements should be taken while wearing undergarments similar to the ones you will wear with your dress. The measuring tape shouldn't be pulled too tight or have too much slack, and should always be parallel with the floor.
**Wedding apparel is typically sized differently than retail clothing, so keep in mind that it's not uncommon to find yourself requiring alterations.
Bust size: Wrap the tape around your back and under your arms at the fullest part of your bust (not underneath the bust).
Waist size: While standing up straight, bend at the waist to one side. Take the measurement where the natural crease happens in your side. This should be a few inches above your belly button.
Hip size: Standing with your feet together, wrap the tape around the fullest part of your hips and butt to get this measurement.
Choosing your correct size
Compare these three measurements to the Kennedy Blue size chart above. It is very important that you order the largest size that corresponds to your measurements. For example, if your bust measures 40.5" (size 12), your waist measures 31" (size 10) and your hips measure 41.5" (size 8), we advise that you order a size 12, and get your dress altered down to custom fit your body. Ordering anything smaller than a size 12 would not fit in the bust area. Please note: Our bridal gown size chart is different than the bridesmaids sizing and is listed below.

Force India didn't have the same Ferrari Engine as STR had c). Force India did make phenomenal development over Spykers of the world its just that the times between back runners and front end teams have shrunk d). Mclaren is providing more than just an engine It makes sense for Force India to do a tie up especially when their major sponsors have had a very trying financial year So Fisi may get the boot in the wake of Cost Cutting. Pedro and Di Riessi wouldn't be bad or who knows even Bourdais.... 4 agree 1 disagree

Please confirm that you want to add How To Turn Your Passion Into Your Business to your Wishlist.
How To Turn Your Passion Into Your Business is designed for entrepreneurs, those individuals whose expectations and standards are non-negotiable. There are principles and strategies that you must understand and master to take your business to the next level.
This course is about breakthroughs. It's about giving you these moments in time when something happens, a decision, an insight, a truth or an understanding when you can finally discover what is your true passion. We then work with you to help you to gain the confidence and belief that you can turn this passion into a business. And a successful business at that.
This course will guide you to create a shift in your beliefs, perception and standards. Breakthroughs happen when something inside you makes you find a new skill or a new way to do something. You break out of your conditioning and the limitations of your environment to create greater performance, greater results and greater fulfillment. As a result, you have more to contribute. What happens next is a radical, surreal and massive improvement in the quality of your life for you, other people and at times, even the world.
Passion is something that will stem from your beliefs. It is enhanced by your skills and sustained by the value that you are able to provide. So if passion stems from beliefs how are our beliefs formed?
Many of us have negative beliefs associated to wealth and these beliefs stem from some of our experiences in the past.
There can be a lot of sensitivity around finances and if the negative belief is not healed and changed, it is impossible to gain financial security and ultimately become financially free.So if Passion is something that will stem from your beliefs and we want to turn our passion into our business, then it makes sense that we should take a closer look at our beliefs around money and finances.
Why do we want what we want? Why do we do what we do? How is it that one person will sacrifice his own life for another, while another will murder a stranger for sheer pleasure?
What are the factors that drive, contour and influence all of our emotions, what we do, the qualities of our life, and ultimately, our destinies?
It is true that each human being is unique. It is also true that we also share a nervous systems that performs in the same way.
I learned form Tony that there are also six fundamental needs that everyone has in common, and all behavior is simply an attempt to meet those six needs.
There are three forces in the world that determine how you feel and together, these forces are called the Triad. The Triad consists of your Physiology, Language and Focus
Together, these three patterns create any—and every—emotional state.
When we understand how these three forces play out in our lives we will then be able to find value and insight in our current job or career.
If you want to turn your passion into your business, you need to focus on it. This is how you get a clear vision of what you want. If you focus on what you DON'T want, you are going to get more of that.
1. Where focus goes, energy flows.
2. Get a Massive Action Plan
3. Resolve Inner Conflicts
Once you define the progress you want to make, you need an effective and efficient game plan to achieve it. In order to close the gap between where you are and where you want to be, you need a proven map, an effective mentor, and training to drive you to take action.
We are now on lecture six and already some students will be taking massive action and digging into the exercises. They will be all fired up to achieve their goals. They are getting stuck into the vision and goal of creating a passion out of their business.
And there will be some others who will never do anything...:)
So many people breakthrough, take action and get their goals. Why are the others not following through? We cover this and more lecture six.
So whats the holy grail of someone taking action or not?
When you absolutely believe that when I do this, I am going to get that result and that result is going to change my life, then you'll do it.
When you absolutely think its not going to work, then you are never going to do it.
So if its a must for you, then you must make it work.
This lecture brings some key insights on how we can gain the certainty that we need in order to take action.
We all like to feel that we matter and have some level of importance. And the great thing is that we can get this feeling by giving that feeling to others. Whatever emotion you want to feel in your life, give it to someone else and you will feel it too.
When you turn your passion into your business, when you find a mission that resonates with your beliefs and is supported by your skills, your ability to produce results will only deepen your interest in the field. That will ignite a hunger within you to want to advance your business and share this new found passion with others.
"It's not what's happening to you now or what has happened in your past that determines who you become. Rather, it's your decisions about what to focus on, what things mean to you, and what you're going to do about them that will determine your ultimate destiny" Anthony Robbins
People driven by positive emotional motivation do so because of their desire to share: something in their life, whether it be a person, place, product or event; impacted them in such a great way that they experienced the amazing benefits of it firsthand
People driven by negative motivation do so because of their desire to create change. Whatever happened to them felt so difficult, unjust or limiting that they want to stop others from having to experience it.
Todays lecture includes an exercise to help you to understand what drives you in your life and what is the basis of your passion that you want to turn into your business.
Discovering your passion requires getting creative in how you connect past emotional experiences with present day interests. This kind of creativity is something we all have inside us and is best described by Steve Jobs:
"Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they've had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people." Steve Jobs
In todays exercise you will be asked to set aside an hour to reflect on your past experiences and questions will be provided to help you to connect with the people, places and events that have had the most impact on your life.
Once you've identified what fires you up, the final step is to translate it into a career path. Todays lecture will outline the first of three stages of activation that will help you enhance the passion you have determined or pursue a new passion.
Now our goal is for you to have a SUCCESSFUL business, that you turn your passion into a business that brings financial security and freedom where you have expanded your life to such an extent that you can now turn around and help someone else.
We now understand that in order to really and truly be successful at turning your passion into your business, we need to have a clear and compelling vision and to persevere in our chosen strategy over and over again until we get to our goal. And that can take a long time, in fact it's very likely it will take longer than you expect or hope. So as we take on this challenge, knowing that it is going to be a long term commitment we need to make sure that we are ready to take this on, really for the long haul..the long game
In order to win this game there are 7 areas in your life that you NEED to master to stay on track, to keep you in the right mindset to pursue this goal. Please remember that your actual enterprise or business is only one of them. You need to take a holistic approach to your life so that everything is in balance. This in turn sets you up for success in your business.

I was born in Co. Roscommon, Ireland and I moved to the USA in 2001. I branched into the healthcare information technology realm having worked as a radiographer in Ireland and in England. Both careers afforded me many amazing opportunities for growth and learning and my life has always been filled with a sense of gratitude for all the blessings that I have received in my life.
And yet I had this pervasive feeling that something was missing in my life. As the years progressed, this sense of a lack of fulfillment got more and more intense for me. And a little over eight years ago I took the first tangible steps to bring fulfillment into my life.
You see, my passion is music, specifically a rare style of Irish music called The East Galway Irish Music Tradition. I was taught by a musical legend by the name of Eddie Kelly and I spent many hours with he and my dad learning and playing music. Looking back on those occasions with these two gentlemen, they have always felt to be the most grounded, genuine and authentic times of my life. And I have had always felt this pull to keep that amore alive.
I am now one of only six fiddle-players worldwide that plays this particular style which means that the music tradition is in danger of dying out. My passion is to keep this tradition alive, to teach this music style to anyone who wants to learn it and to preserve the music and compositions of Eddie Kelly.
And it's more than just the music, it's the outlook and perspective of that time. It's the simplicity where two men gained ultimate fulfillment in their lives by giving to others, by giving to me.
For the past few years as I have continued to turn my passion into my business I have learned so much. The most important lesson that I have learned is that all business is 80% psychology and 20% mechanics. I discovered that once I got right in my head, it was only then that I began to make real progress in my business. I gained momentum and started taking my business to the next level.
When you take your dreams and you make them a reality, you abide by a formula for success which is called the science of achievement.
But a sense of fulfillment is an art and for each person it is as different as is the fingerprint. It's something that we have to learn for ourselves and something that requires work. We should take this on because success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure.
And thats why I created this course.

Throughout preseason training and scrimmages, Tony Rocha thought he was in a good position.
He got plenty of playing time both in Orlando City's midfield and on defense, and felt he could seriously compete for a starting role when the 2017 Major League Soccer season began.
That trajectory derailed when he pulled a hamstring in the final preseason match — a scenario all too familiar to some of his teammates.
He's spent most of the year getting back into form with the club's United Soccer League side, Orlando City B.
"It's definitely been a frustrating year for me," Rocha said. "I worked to get back into full health, and I did. I progressed through OCB, getting...

I am so happy to have found the ideal wood disc for the top of my lazy susan that goes on a 72-in diameter glass table. The birch wood is so beautiful. I rubbed Danish Wood Oil on it to bring out the nice grain and natural wood tones. I will be topping it with an amber glass. Really happy with my new piece of furniture!
Posted by Benjamin
I have purchased several different products from Ready to Cover and they always have done excellent work. The wood is great quality and shipping was fast. It's very hard to find this type of unfinished furniture in stores, and I'm glad you guys offer unique quality products for a decent price and great service!

I think I just gave my review. it was actually a lot of fun painting it. I am so glad I found your site.
Posted by K. Newman
This was ordered with the intention of being covered in fabric and polyurethane coated, but when I got it, it was so nice I wanted to just paint it and be done. I did end up following through with the original project and it is lovely, but it would have been great too with the optional edge and a some great color of paint. I really loved that I could pick my size. For our kitchen, 42" was too big, yet 36" too small, so I went with 38 and it just right!

Hi Ryan,
I used the 38 inch round table top in a different way. It worked great as a base for our new ying yang mirror wall display with shelves.
Thank you,

Brian Piotrowski picked a good time to have his best game of the year.
Piotrowski scored all three Desert Vista goals en route to a 3-1 home victory over previously unbeaten Brophy Friday night in a Fiesta Region match-up.
To say Brophy has been dominant is an understatement. Coming into Friday's game the Broncos were 17-0-1 with four victories being a10-0 score or more. In 18 games Brophy has compiled 90 goals in contrast to just eight goals against.
However, Brophy did not have an answer for Desert Vista's senior forward Piotrowski.
"He has performances like these where he'll grab a bunch of goals," said Desert Vista coach Michael Rabasca. "I'm hoping this is a good sign going into the playoffs a couple of weeks from now that he's hitting his stride."
Piotrowski staked the Thunder to an early 2-0 lead with goals in the 16th and 20th minute marks. Shortly after halftime in the 44th minute, Piotrowski finished off his hat trick, giving the Thunder an insurmountable 3-0 lead.
The victory over Brophy is a huge confidence boost for the Thunder in what has been at times a disappointing year.
"We've been playing with teams, we just haven't been scoring enough goals," Rabasca said.
Desert Vista spent most of the game playing defense, and set its rotation at 5-4-1. With five defenders and four midfielders, the Thunder were playing a football equivalent of the prevent defense especially in the second half.
Brophy controlled the ball most of the game, but with many players on offense, it was left vulnerable on defense. This enabled Desert Vista to come through on its chances.
"We came in here with a game plan, executed it, and put away our chances when we had them," Piotrowski said.
The Thunder "packed the box" on defense, while on offense they pushed the ball up to their forwards without much messing around near midfield.
"We took chances with our forwards against their defenders and hit our shots," Piotrowski said.
It wasn't until the 67th minute that Brophy got on the board with a goal by Kyle Seeger. By this time, however, the game had become fairly chippy.
There were a handful of yellow cards and one red card on Brophy while Desert Vista kept its composure.
Rabasca's game plan was a blueprint for most upsets by a lesser team.
"We didn't want to make any silly mistakes, most of all," Rabasca said. "We didn't want to shoot ourselves in the foot."
It is a lot easier to play loose and avoid mistakes when your go-to guy puts up a big game.
"I'm happy for (Piotrowski). He's had a rough season in terms of goals scored," Rabasca said. "He's been working his bottom off in practices and that practice paid off tonight."
The upset will undoubtedly help the Thunder's rankings in the power-point system. However if the state tournament began today, Rabasca believes Brophy would still be the favored team.
"We stuck to our game plan and I think we were fortunate that maybe they were off tonight," Rabasca said.

ITGA2b (show ITGA2B Antibodies) expression increases in response to immunization, raising the possibility that heterogeneous ITGA2b (show ITGA2B Antibodies) levels reflect variation in exposure to activation signals.
Thrombopoietin (show THPO Antibodies)/MPL (show MPL Antibodies) signaling confers growth and survival capacity to CD41-positive cells in a mouse model of Evi1 (show MECOM Antibodies) leukemia.
Direct binding of kindlin-3 (show FERMT3 Antibodies) to integrin alphaIIbbeta3 is involved in supporting integrin alphaIIbbeta3 activation and integrin alphaIIbbeta3-dependent responses of platelets and consequently contributes significantly to arterial thrombus formation.
ADAP interacts with talin and kindlin-3 to promote platelet Integrin alphaIIbbeta3 activation and stable fibrinogen binding.
reduction of talin-beta3 integrin (show ITGB3 Antibodies) binding affinity results in decelerated alphaIIbbeta3 integrin activation and protection from arterial thrombosis without pathological bleeding
deficiency of Dok-2 leads to dysregulated integrin alphaIIbbeta3-dependent cytosolic calcium flux and phosphatidylinositol(3,4)P2 accumulation.
Platelets lacking ERp57 (show PDIA3 Antibodies) have defective activation of the alphaIIbbeta3 integrin and platelet aggregation. The defect in aggregation was corrected by the addition of exogenous ERp57 (show PDIA3 Antibodies), implicating surface ERp57 (show PDIA3 Antibodies) in platelet aggregation.
Data indicate that Pyk2 (show PTK2B Antibodies) is a common signaling effector downstream of both G12 (show TCF3 Antibodies)/13 and integrin alphaIIbbeta3 signaling, which contributes to thromboxane generation.
These results identify a novel pathway of integrin alphaIIbbeta3 outside-in signaling and recognize the tyrosine kinase Pyk2 as a major regulator of platelet adhesion and spreading on fibrinogen.
identified Hic-5 (show TGFB1I1 Antibodies) as a novel and specific regulatory factor for thrombin (show F2 Antibodies)-induced alphaIIbbeta3 activation and subsequent platelet aggregation in mice.
Case Report: Reduced binding of mutant FLNa (show FLNA Antibodies) to beta3 and the facilitated recruitment of talin by beta3 on platelet stimulation, explaining the increased alphaIIbbeta3 activation and the ensuing gain-of-platelet functions.
Mechanistic basis for the binding of fibrinogen-derived RGD- and AGDV-peptides to the platelet integrin alphaIIb-beta3 has been described.
the contribution of PAR1 (show MARK2 Antibodies) and PAR4 (show PAWR Antibodies) to thrombin (show F2 Antibodies)-mediated activation of the platelet fibrin receptor (GPIIbIIIa), is reported.
The most common HPA (show HPSE Antibodies) genotypes among Saudis were HPA-1 (show HPSE Antibodies) a + b- (75%), HPA-2 (show HPSE2 Antibodies) a + b- (62%), HPA-3 a + b- (51.5%), HPA (show HPSE Antibodies)-4 a + b- (99%), HPA-5 (show ITGA2 Antibodies) a + b- (76.5%), HPA (show HPSE Antibodies)-6 a + b- (100%) and HPA (show HPSE Antibodies)-15 a + b + (50%). The prevalent allele among the HPA (show HPSE Antibodies) systems was (a), except in the HPA (show HPSE Antibodies)-15 system where the (b) allele was found in 52% of the subjects.
Integrin alpha-IIb (show ITGA2B Antibodies) beta-3 dependent ERK (show EPHB2 Antibodies) signaling is regulated by Src (show SRC Antibodies) and Rho kinases in both Leu33 and Pro33 polymorphic isoforms.
Data suggest that CD41 and CD45 (show PTPRC Antibodies) expression marked the onset of haemangioblastoma (HB) neovascularisation and the stepwise development of the angioformative period, and also the underlying therapeutic targets of anti-vascular treatment.
ITGA2B (show ITGA2B Antibodies) and ITGA8 have roles in prognosis in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (show MOK Antibodies) patients
Thirteen variants in the ITGA2B (show ITGA2B Antibodies) locus and 29 variants in the ITGB3 (show ITGB3 Antibodies) locus were identified.
This study shows correlation of blood clot (show TXNDC17 Antibodies) stiffness with platelet integrin alpha-IIb (show ITGA2B Antibodies) beta3 activity, aspirin usage, and transfusion risk in cardiopulmonary bypass patients.
Data show that immune thrombocytopenia (ITP (show ITPA Antibodies)) is an autoimmune bleeding disorder characterized by low platelet count and presence of IgG autoantibodies to platelet surface glycoproteins, such as alpha IIbbeta3 integrins.
ITGA2B encodes integrin alpha chain 2b. Integrins are heterodimeric integral membrane proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. Alpha chain 2b undergoes post-translational cleavage to yield disulfide-linked light and heavy chains that join with beta 3 to form a fibronectin receptor expressed in platelets that plays a crucial role in coagulation. Mutations that interfere with this role result in thrombasthenia. In addition to adhesion, integrins are known to participate in cell-surface mediated signalling.

Obviously, you bought your Aerostar because you knew that you wanted performance and value both impeccably combined into one automobile. While it's not hard to buy replacement parts for Ford vehicles, these days only the highest quality are required to repair your car or truck. When your Ford Aerostar left the factory, it was destined for a driver who wants American engineering in their automobile. Ford car, truck, or SUV owners have come to expect a certain level of reliability when driving their Aerostar around town.
If none of our cars or trucks had steering systems, then we'd all drive in a straight line. Inspired by our own human body, the Ford Aerostar ball joint resembles the ball and socket joint that connects our upper arm to our shoulder. Connected to our control arms, ball joints are a vast improvement over king pins; which pivoted the front spindles left and right but did not allow for any movement inward or outward. Rather than turning the spindle on just one plane, ball joints allow full flexibility for your vehicle.
When your Ford needs the best replacement Ball Joint, there's no need to trust any store other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Given all the trouble that can be involved with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make purchasing it easy. At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents on the phone with enough expertise to help you buy the appropriate Ford Aerostar part for your project or repair.

ONE of Bolton's star transplant athletes visited a local business that is sponsoring the British Transplant Games to encourage people to Sign Up To Save Lives.
James Colbeck, aged 29, has had a glittering career at various levels of transplant sport and is aiming to add to his medal haul when the Westfield Health British Transplant Games comes to Bolton in August.
The sprinter, from Egerton, who, at the age of 25, was donated a kidney by his mother after he suffered a mystery illness, was visiting Premex Services — after it donated £5,000 to become an official partner of the event.
Mr Colbeck spoke to hundreds of staff at the Middlebrook site about the importance of raising awareness, through the games, of signing up to the NHS organ donation register.
He said: "It is fantastic that local businesses are getting involved — the event relies on the support, sponsorship and volunteering that can come from businesses in the area.
"I spoke to the staff about the importance of organ donation and how crucial it is to have a discussion with your family about what you would want to happen, because consent is such a big thing.
"If we can speak to as many Bolton businesses in the lead-up to the games then we can get that message across to thousands of people."
Before the August event, The Bolton News hopes to encourage 5,000 people to sign up to the organ donation register, as part of our Sign Up To Save Lives campaign.
As well as providing financial sponsorship, bosses at Premex have said that staff members who wish to work as volunteers during the transplant games will be given time off.
The games require 400 volunteers to help with tasks such as handing out information, marshalling visitors and directing athletes.
Mike Cutler, managing director of Premex Services, said: "If the British Transplant Games encourages just one more person in Bolton to become a donor, another life could be saved.
"Aside from the economic benefits to the region, the human legacy of these games will be felt by families and loved ones for years to come.
"It is an event and a campaign that we are proud to support and one which has already inspired many of our employees to get involved.
"Hopefully other businesses will be encouraged to join the campaign too."

I guess, it's not that easy, though, is it? We need to Sun ORB because we don't know yet how well Yoko will fair with the TCK until we actually run it. I don't think most people are prepared to put all of the eggs in the one basket until it's been proved to work.

The Microchip PIC family of microcontrollers is the most popular series of microcontrollers in the world. However, no microcontroller is of any use without software to make it perform useful functions. This comprehensive reference focuses on designing with Microchip's mid-range PIC line using MBASIC, a powerful but easy to learn programming language. It illustrates MBASIC's abilities through a series of design examples, beginning with simple PIC-based projects and proceeding through more advanced designs. Unlike other references however, it also covers essential hardware and software design fundamentals of the PIC microcontroller series, including programming in assembly language when needed to supplement the capabilities of MBASIC. Details of hardware/software interfacing to the PIC are also provided.
BENEFIT TO THE READER: This book provides one of the most thorough introductions available to the world's most popular microcontroller, with numerous hardware and software working design examples which engineers, students and hobbyists can directly apply to their design work and studies. Using MBASIC, it is possible to develop working programs for the PIC in a much shorter time frame than when using assembly language.

Redirected Rage At Students Unblessed-Thank God, I'M No Longer Possessed. - Poem by Michael Gale
Redirected rage tossed aside it's predestined path...
Can't blame 'nother problem by school and math.
In high school i was at a stand still in summer school math
and American history...
Never got an a or even a dee.
T'was just an eff just due to me.
I did not want ta become a rocket scientist or teacher of years
in time...
What law had i broken? -What caught was my crime?
Art and English were just my best subjects...
That fact was clear to my teachers, no lie or not even a false pretext or subtext.
As a teenager i was hard to control...
The grade school hall monitor was always out on Mike Gale patrol.
Fights were attracted to me as like a mighty over powering magnet...
That should seem to all readers of this bad fact that is solomnly
I just don't know how my teachers put up with me...
The school board had unanomously had voted for a teachers pay increase for observence of yours truly.
Overtime was their only way...
That's how teachers who broke school rules were forced to pay.
I'm just glad to this day that i've matured and changed...
Thank God Almighty-I'm no longer deranged.

Keep discounted parking program for vets
EDMONTON, AB (April 10, 2013): The Wildrose Official Opposition is today calling on the PC government to reverse a decision that will end discounted transferable annual hospital parking passes for Canadian Forces veterans in Calgary. Wildrose Official Opposition Leader Danielle Smith today questioned Health Minister Fred Horne on the decision by Alberta Health Services, calling it "stingy at its worst." "It's another tax Mr. Speaker, on the men and women who have served and sacrificed for Canada.
The Premier promised no new taxes, but we see different adjustments, increases, fees, charges and program changes that mean more citizens are paying more money to the government," Smith said. "Will the Minister immediately order AHS to maintain its practice of selling parking passes for Calgary veterans?" In the Legislature, Wildrose Finance Critic Rob Anderson challenged the statement by an AHS vice-president who defended the move by rhetorically asking of veterans, "Why is this one group more worthy than others?" "One has to wonder what kind of fantasy world one lives in who has the audacity to ask such a mind-numbingly and ignorant question," Anderson said. "It's because they were willing to leave their beloved families behind and die for us so we wouldn't have to salute a swastika one day. I hope that clears it up for this AHS vice-president and some of the other thoughtless individuals who had a hand in this stupidity. And hopefully it helps our own Health Minister to stop his bumbling and get this ungrateful and morally reprehensible policy reversed – today – lest he forget what we owe these heroes." Military veteran and Wildrose MLA Joe Anglin said maintaining the program is the least AHS can do for Alberta veterans. "If AHS executives are going to keep collecting their bonuses and boosting their bureaucratic budgets, they can certainly keep this courtesy to our brave men and women," Anglin said. "I'm disturbed by the suggestion from AHS that veterans would abuse the program.
